Chapter two

After she had called Cierra, Lacy had literally passed out in the middle of their conversation. Of course Cierra had panicked and immediately jumped into her white Chevy Cavalier and all, but flew to get to the Dimico house. When she saw Lacy asleep on her bed with her arm dangling over the side and her cell phone laying on the floor, she put a movie into the DVD player and waited for her friend to wake up.

When Lacy did wake up, it was to the sound of her laptop telling her that she had an email. Then it went off again. "I sent you an email earlier."

Startled, Lacy swung her head around a little too quickly, which caused her room to start spinning. "Cierra, what in the Sam hell are you doing in here?" Cierra just smiled and replied, " You fell asleep on the phone, I wanted to make sure that you were okay."

"Aw, CC, I love you too! You couldn't have just called the house phone and asked my Mom?" Cierra vigorously shook her head. "Yeah I didn't think you would either."

Cierra just waved her off, "Yeah yeah, I know I'm the best." She jokingly gloated. "Now what were you talking about earlier on the phone?"

Lacy sat up and crossed her legs 'indian' style, and was quiet for a moment, as if she were in deep thought. "What was the last part you heard?" "Um ma momuma ba jumba ohs nah." Lacy rolled her eyes at her friend's smart-ass comment. "What was the last coherent thing you heard?"

Cierra sat there for a moment in thought before she answered. "Well I'm not sure if it was what you really meant to say, or if it was the meds talking. I think I heard, 'I just sent MIke Mizanin an email.'"

Lacy just shook her head slightly, in hopes of not causing her room tostart spinning yet again. "No you heard right ." Cierra jumoped off of the bean bag that she had been curled uip on and zoomed across the room to stand by and then sit on the bed after replying. "How did you manage that?"

"He had gotten injured on Raw and I found a link to send him Get well wishes so I sent him one." Cierra got a concerned look on her face.

"Lace I don't mean to rain on your parade or anything, but he might not even get it. I mean I'm sure the company has some one to do all of that stuff for him." Lacy's head snapped up at that comment. "I'm not delusional I know he might not get it. it didn't hurt anything to send one."

Cierra gently placed a hand on one of Lacy's crossed legs."Hey that's not what I meant."

"Yeah, I know. I didn't mean to snap at you like that." Cierra smiled at her and shook her head." Don't worry about it girl, it's just your pain meds talking." They sat there like that for a few moments in the loud silence.

It was Cierra that finaly spoke up. "Okay, don't you think you need to check your email?" Lacy gave her a droll stare. "You already told me you sent me one."

"Well, yeah, but you got another one. It might be important."

"You're here. So who else could it be from?" Being a smart-ass, Cierra said the first thing that popped into her mind. "Well, mabey he wrote you back." Lacy looked at her like she had grown an extra head. "CC, that's not funny." Cierra placed a hand to her chest, as though she were shocked that Lacy would make such a wild accusation. "Hey girl, it could happen."

Lacy crossed her arms over her chedt and glared at her friend. "Really Cierra? On what planet would you say?"This caused Cierra to giggle a little. "This one goofus. Will you just go look? All I'm saying is that it could happen."

"Whatever girl." Lacy got off her bed and sat at her desk. Lacy chewed on the right side of her bottum lip. A habit that she usually does when she's nervous orworried. "He did!"

There was alot of comotion as Cierra scrambled off of the bed and over to her friend. "How do you know it's from him?"

"Because it's from the address that I sent my email to."Cierra spun her head around to look at her friend. "Well what are you waiting for? Open it!" Sucking in a breathe Lacy moved her cursor over the subject of the email and double clicked. When it opened her face visibly fell.

Cierra, who had been to afraid to look, slowly turned to face the screen. "What what's wrong?"As she leaned back in her swivel chair, Lacy let her hand slide from the mouse, down to her side. "It's just a conformation email letting me know that it went through and to not respond with my email provider. You know, one of those things."

Lacy felt Cierra place a hand on her shoulder and gently gave it a squeeze. "I'm sorry i got you all excited Lace." Lacy just sat there, starring blanky at the screen for a moment. Shaking her head, she closed the email. Then swiveled her chair around to look at Cierra which had returned to plop down on the bean bag chair in front of Lacy's bookshelf. "you know?" Lacy began. "There for a minute? I actually believed it could happen." Cierra looked back at Lacy with a sympathetic expression on her face. "Lace there's nothing wrong with that." That was all Lacy could take.

She couldn't hold it in anymore. Especially when she could feel the smile that she had been fighting to control, start to creep up on her face. She began to laugh uncontrollably and it wasn't long untill Cierra had joined her. There was a knock on the door a few minutes later, right before Katherin walked into the room.

"What are you girls doing in here?" Apparently the laughter was contagious, because Katherin found herself giggling right along with the girls. "I could hear you two all the way down stairs."

When Lacy finally calmed down enough to speak, She was able to begin to explain. "Trust me you're going to think it's hilarious too."

Her Mom looked back and forthe between the two girls. "Well, what is it?" Cierra pointed at Lacy while holding her belly. "We thought he emailed her back!"

Lacy was laughing so hard she was in tears. "Yeah, but it was only a conformation email." They were all laughing untill they were holding their sides and belly rolling with laughter.

Katherin was finally able to make it to her daughter's full sized bed to sit down. Lacy's computer begain talking again. "You've got mail." Lacy turned her chair around and faced her computer to see who it could possibly be from. 'AwesomenessInUrCloset67?' "Who in the heck is this?"

Cierra was fanning herself with her hand trying to get some oxygen into her system. Her mother was still sitting on the edge of her bed, but was calmed down enough to talk to her daughter."What is it? What's going on?"

"I have another email and I don't know who it's from." Her mother shrugged her shoulders. "Well just read it then." Lacy double clicked the email, and opened it. What she found was not what she was expecting to read.

Dear Lacy;

Thanks for the words of encouragment. Now to put your fears at rest, no you didn't offend me by using my real name.

"Oh...my...god!" Lacy covered her mouth with a shaking had. Immediatly concerned, Katherin looked at her daughter."Lacy what is it?" All Lacy could do was shake her head and keep muttering; " This isn't real. I'm dreaming."

Katherin became even more concerned." Lacy Dianne what are you talking about?" Lacy swiveled her chair around and faced the people in her room, starring off into space. "He wrote me back...He actually really wrote me back."

Cierra got up and sat on the bed by Mrs. Dimico. "How do you know it's him?"

"Because he's talking about things that I said in my email." Katherin and Cierra just looked at each other. "What do I do?" Her mother looked at her and smiled. "You finish reading it. Only start over and read it out loud!"

Shaking her head at her mother Lacy continued in a small voice. "I don't think I can..You guys just read over my shoulder." Turning back around Lacy continued to read the email.

I actually found it to be quit refreshing to know that some one had the curtousy to find out what it is. believe it or not, there are people that I work with that don't even know my actual name. They didn't even bother to ask. So that was a nice change opf pace for me. To be seen as an actual person, instead of some character on a T.V. screen. Actually you hit the nail on the head, I am bored out of my mind. To make it worse, the nurses are dricving me crazy! They have my arm in this rediculous sling, so I have to 'hunt and peck'. So I'm sure that you can imagine how long it's taking me to write you back. I totally agree with you about 'them'. "They' need to nbe put through a table or something. You said that it was Thanksgiving Holiday and that you were laid up too. Are you in school or something? You also said that you had recently had surgery yourself. What happened there? If you don't mind me asking. Yeah P.T. does suck. I like to read too. My favorite books are the Lord of the Rings. Weird I know. Don't judge me. LOL. I'm sorry it upset you when you found out that I was injured. When I read that, it made me want to know more about the person on the other side of the screen. I'm glad that I'm helping you 'survive' your recovery process. Either way it was nice to hear it. Well this has taken up enough of your time.

Don't let yourself get down,

Mike

P.S. - Don't worry about taking up too much of my time...I now have a lot to spare for you.

"Oh my god Lacy..."

Lacy spun her chair around to look at her friend. "What?" When she finally looked at their faces, they had a look of shock on them. "Well what do you think?" Looking at her mother, she waited for an answer

. A huge smile spread across Katherin's face."Well my dear, i would have to say that I believe some one was quit taken with you." Cierra was still looking at her, Lacy reached out and smacked her friends arm. "Ow what was that for?"

"For standing there like a bump on a log, what is your deal?"

"Lacy he wrote you back...he actually wrote you back."

"I know what should I do?" Her mother placed a hand on her daughter's shoulder. " You write him back."

"Okay." The grandfather clock down stairs started chimming the five o'clock hour. This caused Cierra to snap back to reality. "Hey girl, call me later and tell me how it went. I gotta get home for dinner, my aunt is coming over."

"Okay be careful going home." Cierra was already halfway down the stairs.

"Well, I'll leave it to you dear. I'll bring you up some dinner when it's done."

"Okay." After her mother had gone, Lacy settled down at hr computer to compose her email. After proof reading it a couple times, she sent it.

After flipping through the chanels on the T.V. in his room , Mike decided that there was nothing on and got on his computer. He didn't really think that Lacy would write him back, so he didn't bother checking his email.

Not finding anything to do, he closed his laptop and called for the nurse to being him his pain killers. As he sat waiting on the nurse, he couldn't help, but wonder what Lacy looked like.

Well he knew he wasn't going to ask her to send him a picture, because he didn't know how old she is. He didn't think she was a minor, but he really only had her email to judge that by. 'Just ask her the next time you write her.' Yeah he'd do that. If he got the chance to write her back.

The door opened and the night nurse walked into his room. "Alright Mr. Mizanin your doctor talked to Mr. MacMahon and it was agreed that you could take what the doctor deemed nessesary. So do you want the Tyrodone? It'll probably help you sleep."

"Okay yeah that's fine." She walked over to the computer in his room and picked up the scanner before she turned back to him. "Okay now this goes directly into your I.V. so you'l be feeling it rather quickly. Most likely within a few seconds. Okay now I need your braclet." She scanned his braclet and then the meds, then injected them into the I.V. "Alright there you go, call if you need anything." He was already feeling the effects of the drugs before, the door latch caught.

A/N: I KNOW THIS ONE WAS SLIGHTLY LONGER THAN THE LAST CHAPTER, BUT THEY WILL GET EVEN LONGER I CAN PROMISE YOU.
