Amy had lay awake most of the night, and when she heard Kelly coming out of her room the next morning she leapt out of bed and opened the door, Kelly was pretty shocked to see her coming out of Cody's room, pretty shocked is probably an understatement actually.
Amy led them into the kitchen where she started crying, Kelly hugged her and sat her down then made them both a coffee before taking Amy back into her bedroom to chat. Amy told her all about what had happened. They sat in Kelly's bed, Amy in Kelly's arms sobbing, composing herself, and then sobbing again when she thought of what had happened.
'I want to go home today' Amy sniffed as she wiped her eyes and took a sip of her coffee, 'I refuse to lose him as my best friend, and I will speak to him. But right now, I just want to go home.'
'I'll take you' Kelly offered quickly.
'No you stay here, I'll be okay' Amy said not wanting to ruin the weekend for Kelly, they'd gotten the night off from the live show tonight so hadn't planned to leave the villa until tomorrow.
'No way, we can drive up to Jacksonville today. You can stay with me tonight, and fly in for the show on Wednesday' Kelly said.
'Thank you' Amy said hugging her. Kelly stood up and began throwing things into her case.
'I'm gonna go try pack without waking him' Amy said as she headed back to her room.
She crept into the bedroom as quietly as she possibly could, Ted was still sleeping, she felt herself having to hold back tears as she looked at him, he looked so beautiful. She quietly slid her case out from under her bed and began throwing things untidily into it, when everything was in she quickly slipped on some jeans and a hoodie and a pair of ugg boots and threw her pyjamas into the case before zipping it up. She looked over at Ted once more before she walked towards the door; she walked back over to the bed and kissed him on the cheek. She walked out of the room and left her case in the lounge while she went to Kelly's room. Kelly was completely ready to leave.
'You sure you want to leave?' Kelly asked her just to make sure. Amy nodded. Just as they unlocked the door to leave Cody walked out of his room.
'Please, don't go' he said walking over and hugging Amy hoping she would change her mind, 'please stay.'
'I'll call you tonight' she smiled up at him.
'Make sure you do, I promise you we're gonna sort this' he replied knowing he wouldn't be able to change her mind.
As soon as the girls left Cody stormed into Ted's room making sure he slammed the door on the way in. Ted quickly woke up.
'What the hell were you thinking man!?' Cody shouted at him. Ted rubbed his eyes and looked confused.
'Look around, anything missing? Or should I say anyone!' he shouted feeling himself getting angrier.
Ted looked around, Amy wasn't there, and neither were her things.
'Where is she?' he said looking worried.
'I don't know, because she left!' Cody shouted again.
'What? Why!? Why would she leave!?' Ted asked confused.
'Because she loves you, and you told her to be with Orton you idiot'
'She, she what!?' Ted asked him not believing what he had just said.
'Yeah that's right, she loves you, and you just fucked it all up and told her to be with Orton, she thought the talk you were having was going to be about you two, she wanted to be with you' Cody ranted, Ted could feel his stomach sinking.
'No I heard I heard her on the phone' he stammered.
'What did you hear?' Cody snapped.
'She was saying she missed him and she wished he was here and she loved him' he muttered, knowing he hadn't misheard her.
'Did she say Randy?'
'Well, well no but it was him because we heard her answer the phone'
'You idiot, you absolute idiot. She was on the phone to Sophia'
'Oh no, no. I, but… I thought. How do you know it was Sophia?' Ted asked feeling stupid.
'Because she slept in my room or should I say she spent the night in my room crying over you' Cody said turning his back to walk out the room.
'Don't leave, Cody please. You need to help me sort this out' Ted begged with a look of desperation in his eyes.
Cody knew he did have to help him sort this out, Amy and Ted were his friends and he knew they could be perfect together. Ted picked up his phone and tried to call Amy, he heard her phone ringing from floor on her side of the bed.
'She's forgot the iPhone' Ted said as he leant over and picked it up from the floor.
Amy had two phones, the iPhone was more for personal things while her BlackBerry was mainly for work.
'She's calling me later to let me know she's okay. I can find out where she is and we can go see her tomorrow' Cody sighed.
'Tomorrow, but…'
'Ted, it's tomorrow or not at all. I don't think you understand quite how hurt she is, if you go chasing after her now you're going to make things so much worse than if we leave it till tomorrow.' Cody replied.
Ted knew he was right but he just wanted it sorted, he couldn't believe he'd told her he thinks her and Orton would be good together. It was such a lie, since the day her and Orton met he had been paranoid and thought up a thousand excuses why she shouldn't be with him.
Amy fell asleep in the car and when she woke up they were only an hour away from Kelly's home.
'So tonight we can have a quiet night in or I can take you to meet my friends, it's completely up to you honey' Kelly smiled as she saw Amy wake up.
'I'd rather just stay in feeling sorry for myself, but if you don't mind me being alone you should go hang out with your friends'
'I'm not gonna leave you alone, not when your this upset.' Kelly replied comfortingly.
'Really I think I just wanna sleep, I barely slept at all last night and you aren't going to see your friends much the next few weeks so you should spend time with them' Amy said not wanting to ruin the night for Kelly.
'If you wanna sleep then okay, but if you change your mind I'm happy to stay with you, and I'll have my cell if you need me at all' Kelly said not wanting to leave Amy alone, but wanting to give her her own space.
A song came on the radio and Amy turned it up as loud as it could go,
'I'm trying not to tell you, but I want to, I'm scared of what you'll say, so I'm hiding what I'm feeling, but I'm tired of holding this inside my head' she sang along.
Kelly knew this song made her think of Ted, they'd sang it many a time when they were drunk. Kelly joined in and sang with her.
'You okay?' she asked her as the song finished. Amy smiled and nodded.
'Let's plug my iPhone in and listen to my music' she grinned, then she realised she didn't have it.
'Crap, I've left it at the villa' she said pulling out her Blackberry, she dialled Cody's number.
'Hiya sweetie, I've left my iPhone in the bedroom somewhere, can you find it and keep hold of it till I next see you?'
'Yeah of course, Ted found it before'
'Okay, thanks.'
'Do you wanna speak to him?'
'No'
'you two are gonna be okay though right?'
'Yeah, I just need a few days and we'll be back to normal, or whatever normal friends are'
'You don't need to be just friends'
'Oh right, is he up for a threesome then is he?'
'No he never meant what he said about Randy'
'Yes he did or he wouldn't have said it. I'd of never told him I'd be happy to see him with somebody else, because I wouldn't!'
'If you don't speak to him how are you going to sort things out?'
'I will speak to him, just not now. I'm tired. I just don't want to think about it right now'
'He could explain himself if you give him the chance'
'I don't want him to, he doesn't have to explain himself to me, so please…I just want to forget it.'
'Okay then, I'm not gonna make you talk about it, are you okay?'
'I'll be fine'
'I wish you hadn't of left.'
'I'd of been no fun if I stayed, but I'll see you tomorrow or whenever'
'So what's your plan till then?'
'I'm staying at Kelly's tonight, and then we'll fly into Missouri tomorrow.'
'Oh so you're going to be in Jacksonville tonight?'
'Yeah'
'What time are you leaving tomorrow?'
'No idea, we haven't booked a flight or anything yet. Anyway I gotta go, I'll call you later'
'Call me if you need anything, at all.'
'Same, bye'
'Bye Amy'
As Cody hung up Ted was just looking blankly at him.
'Pack your things, we're going to Jacksonville' Cody said as he walked towards the door to go to his room and pack his things.
Kelly and Amy arrived at Kelly's house about 2pm. They dragged their huge cases out of the car and Kelly shown Amy to the spare room that she would be staying in. Amy decided to have a lie down while Kelly sorted out her case and packed everything she was going to need for the tour so she could leave tomorrow.
When Kelly was halfway though unpacking and repacking, Cody called her up. He asked if he and Ted could come to Jacksonville to try work things out with Amy, at first she didn't think it was a good idea, but after Cody explained about what Ted had heard on the phone and why he mentioned Randy she agreed. She gave them her address, and said she wouldn't tell Amy about it just in case she left. She told him she wouldn't be in at the time but they could call her if they needed to and that she would leave the door unlocked so they could go straight in.
Cody and Ted decided to head back to Ted's home, which wasn't far from the villa so that he could pick up more things for the tour so he didn't have to come all the way back tomorrow. They went over to Ted's and packed up his things and decided it would be best to just take Cody's car to Jacksonville so he could take it home the next day.
As Amy lay on her bed she took out her BlackBerry and decided to text Randy.
To; Orton - Mon 19th Oct
Hey :D
U on the show tonight? xxxx
Within a few minutes she received a text back.
From; Orton - Mon 19th Oct
Hey beautiful.
No not on tonight,
In Jacksonville though,

How's Tampa? xxxx
She quickly text him back.
To; Orton - Mon 19th Oct
Not in Tampa,
left day early 2 get ready 4 tour
Just in Jacksonville at Kel's :D xxxx
After she sent the text she looked in her inbox at some old texts from Ted. Before she knew it, Randy had text her back
From; Orton - Mon 19th Oct
Sounds fun, you girls out 2night? Xxxx
She didn't want to admit what had happened between her and Ted so decided to bend the truth slightly.
To; Orton - Mon 19th Oct
Kelly is, I'm not.
Don't feel well enough 2 b out :(
I'm making her go 2 spend time with friends though :D xxxx
His reply wasn't what she expected.
From; Orton - Mon 19th Oct
How about I drive over + keep u company? :D
She didn't know what to say, she wanted to say yes, but knew she couldn't just invite someone over to Kelly's house. She got up from the bed and walked to Kelly's room, she knocked and Kelly told her to come in, she asked Kelly if she minded Randy coming over for a few hours. Kelly didn't know what to say, she had said Ted could come over and didn't want to make things worse.
'Course he can' Kelly smiled.
After Amy left and went back to her own room, Kelly tried calling both Cody and Ted. Neither of them were answering. She decided to send them both a quick heads up about Randy being there.
To; Cody - To; DiBiase - Mon 19th Oct
Quick heads up.
Randy will b with Amy 2night.
Nothing going on!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She just wants the company + he offered.
Let me know if there's a change of plan. xx
Randy arrived a few hours later and greeted both the girls with a hug.
'I'm off out for a couple of hours, you gonna be okay?' Kelly said picking up her car keys. 'I'm only meeting a few friends for dinner so I'll only be a few hours, I won't be back late' she said as she left.
Amy and Randy decided to sit in the room she was staying in and watch a few DVD's. They decided to watch the Lord of the Rings trilogy. It was about the only thing in Kelly's DVD collection they could agree on.
By the time the first one had finished it was 10pm, it had been on for 3 hours. Amy had her head rested on Randy's shoulder and he had his arm around her. She thought Randy was gorgeous, even before she'd met him and she had just seen him on TV. Her and her best friend from back home Sophia, used to always talk about how gorgeous he was.
There was no doubt about the fact, she was attracted to him. But she was more than attracted to Ted, there were actual feelings involved. She thought about what he had said to her, there was no point in holding onto something that was nothing. She knew she needed to just get over it so she could go back to being friends.
'We're only about 2 minutes away' Cody said to Ted.
'Okay' Ted muttered.
'You got her phone?' Cody asked, he knew that having the phone gave them a huge advantage because even if she didn't want to see either of them, they could just say they bought her phone back.
Ted picked up her phone, he looked at the picture she had as her background, it was one the two of them in bed, he had one arm wrapped around her pulling her into him and she had her head on his chest. She set it as her background because she loved his smile on that picture, it was a cross between a smile and a pout.
'We're here man, don't fuck up this time' Cody said with a smirk, as he parked the car outside of Kelly's house.
They got out of the car and looked through the window, they couldn't see anybody. Cody opened the door and they stepped in, they could hear a TV upstairs and made their way up.
They found the room that the noise was coming from and Cody knocked, opening the door and peering round.
He slammed the door quickly.
'Ted, go downstairs man' he snapped.
'What!? No! Why!?' Ted pushed past Cody and opened the door.
Randy had just jumped off the bed, shirtless and Amy ran over to the door wearing a white tank and a pair of tiny pyjama shorts.
As her eyes met Ted's she felt physically sick, and it was definitely a mutual feeling.
'What the hell are you two doing here?' she snapped looking at Cody.
Ted thrusted her phone into her hand.
'Well uhh, this is a surprise' Randy said picking up his shirt and walking over to the door.
'Yeah, it really is' Ted said, his eyes still locked with Amy's. He snatched Cody's car keys out of his hand and ran quickly down the stairs.
Cody chased after him, with Amy close behind.
Ted started the car and drove off quickly, without Cody.
Amy had tears running down her face, they were standing on Kelly's porch.
Out of nowhere, they heard a loud crash.
Amy's heart sank, and without even thinking she ran towards where the noise had come from.
She could see that two cars had crashed, she stopped and stared.
