Starring: Alicia/Chris Jericho (eventual), Shawn Michaels/Rebecca, Trish/Jeff, Lita/Adam, Randy/Samantha, Stephanie/Hunter.
Chapter 17:
I left the office that night, with a part of my life missing. Losing Chris hit me. Wouldn't he come around? Even if he did, this stalker, he wouldn't let me. It was going to be a long week.
Chris hadn't come near me all week, he avoided me and I couldn't blame him. I would avoid me too if I could. His last words hit me everyday.
FLASHBACK
Chris nodded, "Fine Alicia, make excuses, don't tell me the truth." Guess I wasn't convincing. "Do what you want! I've had enough! I love you so much that it hurts yet you act like you don't care! Like this doesn't matter! Fine Alicia, have it your way, have your me time!"
END OF FLASHBACK
He loved me so much that it hurt, I felt the same. It was killing me that he wasn't waiting for me after a meeting or in my hotel room just sleeping or picking me up chick flicks and pizza.
What was in my hotel room, were flowers, every day when I returned to work there were flowers there waiting for me. I wasn't scared, I was so used to them being there.
As for what the stalker did on RAW, there was no sign of anything, the police were all over it, interview after interview with everything. No one knew what was going on. They were looking for the culprit, someone who had a grudge against Shane. Apparently I was only sent the photos because I was the last person to be with him. The police thought the culprit wanted Shane and only Shane, if only they knew. If I handed in the flowers, the other photos and notes, they would think differently…but he'd hurt Chris, I was not planning to do that.
Today was Thursday, I entered my hotel room, it was late past eleven. The flowers were there, and another note as usual: HOPE YOU HAD A GOOD DAY. It was the same note as everyday, same red marker, the stalker seemed like…like a normal person sending a friend a bunch of flowers, but he was a killer. He had entered my hotel room, without any one knowing, he was smart.
But who was he? I took Mickie off the list, this was a man, he was jealous of Chris, why would Mickie be jealous of him? No I sat down and grabbed my new laptop that the WWE had gotten me. I tried to forget it and got back to work. My phone rang.
"Hello," I answered.
There was no answer.
"Hello," I repeated.
"Alicia," his voice scared me, he must have covered the receiver and disguised his voice, I couldn't recognise it.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"A friend," he replied.
"You killed Shane! That's not a friend!" I argued. I lowered my voice. "Why?"
"I didn't," he replied.
What? No, what a liar! "And Chris…don't hurt him."
"You don't know him." His voice seemed sure.
"YOU DON'T KNOW HIM!" I shouted. "LEAVE ME ALONE!"
He hung up.
I was in tears. Why was he doing this, why was he trying to turn me against Chris? Because he was obsessed with me. He wanted me and didn't want anyone else to have me. I didn't want that. I sighed. I couldn't work, not know. I checked my email…nothing. I guess he knew my laptop had been taken in. I could have picked it up again, if I wanted to but I said I didn't, they could keep it after all it belonged to the WWE then me.
I put new laptop away, I needed to think. My phone rang again.
"Hello," I said.
"It's Jed McInliar, Shane McMahon's lawyer," he said. "I'm sorry to call you so late but I missed out your name on the list."
"What list?" I asked.
"Shane McMahon left me a letter to give to you, you can pick it up anytime," Jed McInliar said.
"Sure can I pick it up the day after tomorrow?" I asked.
"That'll be fine."
I took the address down and said I'd come by the day after tomorrow. Shane had left me a letter? Why would he do that? Guess I'd find out soon. I left my room and headed to the pool outside. I sat on the chair poolside. I looked at the water. I heard footsteps, suddenly I was scared. Was he here?
"Hey," I heard Dave's voice.
"Hiya," I smiled, trying not to sound shaken.
"What you doing here?" he asked me.
"Thinking," I smiled.
"I come here to do the same thing," Dave sat down. "You just watch the water, and it's like, you wish all your problems just flow away."
"Yea, and then you think all your problems are as deep as the water in the pool!" I replied.
"Yea true," Dave smiled.
We just sat there and watched the water. Jeff Hardy and Johnny Morrison came in.
"What you doing in here?" Johnny asked.
Three of my suspects in one room.
"Thinking," I replied.
"About?" Jeff asked sitting beside me. Johnny sat opposite.
"Everything," Dave answered.
"What you two doing here?" I asked.
"Well Jeff was wondering, we both have a lot on out minds and thought we'd get peace and quiet here," Johnny answered.
"Sorry, but we beat you to it," Dave replied.
We all smiled.
"Shane, thing, it's creepy right?" Jeff asked.
That's good, I didn't have to bring up the subject. Jeff did thou, maybe he's the stalker. Or Johnny or Dave. Yea I was going in circles.
"Really creepy," Johnny replied.
"Have they got any news on that video?" Dave asked me.
"Nope, none, no finger prints or nothing," I replied.
"Weird, guys smart," Jeff said,
"Yea he is, he scares me thou," I admitted. I looked at everyone's face, emotionless, no one changed there expression.
"Yea he is creepy," Johnny admitted.
"And that last shot with the pulling of the plug thing, from Shane's life support," Jeff said.
"He's a murderer," I whispered.
"Yea he is," Jeff said.
"He may be a freak," Dave suggested.
Then it hit me, "Or totally misunderstood."
"What he did was wrong thou," Johnny said.
"Yea but maybe he's…" I started.
"Confused?" The other three chorused.
"Yea I'm slow!" I replied.
"Yea you are," Johnny smiled.
"I can't believe Shane's gone thou," Dave sighed. "Guess we can't do anything about it."
"No we can't." I sighed. I've had enough. "Guys I'm going back up, it's late."
"So am I," Dave and Johnny said at the same time.
"Well I'm not staying here alone!" Jeff sighed.
"Scared?" I joked.
"Petrified," Jeff replied.
"How's Trish?" I asked.
"Acting weird," Jeff replied.
"Why?" Johnny asked.
"I think…I dunno," Jeff sighed.
"Maybe she's off you," Dave suggested.
"Doubt it, I'm Jeff Hardy," Jeff grinned.
We all rolled our eyes. Jeff got off first, then Dave.
"See ya," Johnny said as he got off at his floor.
Mine was the next obviously, I entered my room. I turned to the dressing room table, new flowers. White roses. I looked at the card. TRUST ME. I sighed, how crazy was this guy? He wasn't misunderstood, he was psychotic.
I sighed as I went to bed, without Chris there.
X X X X X X
The next morning, I was exhausted. I did have a good ten hour sleep how can you be tired after that? Well I guess I'm weird. I sighed, I exited the bedroom, and entered the main area. I was shocked to see six dozen red roses. He had been in my room again. If he wanted to hurt me, he could've, he could have woken me, he could have done anything. Why didn't he do anything? What did he want?
I was confused, and now it was scaring me more, because he had told me not to trust Chris, but who was he? Was he mentally impaired? Was he trying to freak me out? Or was he Chris's enemy, not DX's. Or both!
I showered and changed, I didn't want breakfast, when I opened the door I found Chris there with his hand ready to knock.
"Good timing," he said.
"How are you?" I asked.
"Good, can we talk?" He asked me.
I nodded and let him in.
"You okay?" he asked me. He noticed the flowers, but didn't say anything.
"Yea I am," I replied.
"Stalker been in contact?" he asked.
"Nope he hasn't," I lied.
"Right," he sighed.
"Chris…"
"No Alicia, let me start, I'm sorry I shouldn't have talked to you the way I did. I'm sorry, I really am. I want us, I love you, I want us to try again, if that means a slow relationship then fine." Chris said.
I looked at him? If I forgive him, then I risk his life. If I don't he'll be depressed and could do something stupid, I'll lose the love of my life if I don't forgive him. Why am I saying forgive him, like he's done something? The question is do I give us another chance at the risk of harm?
