Told ya Chapter 8 would come soon ;)

Chapter 8

"1,2,3!" counted the referee after Michelle pinned Melina to win herself and Candice a mixed RAW vs. Smackdown match against Victoria and Melina.

While Michelle and Candice celebrated in the ring, Melina held her neck in pain to sell an injury and headed backstage with Victoria who was trash talking both of the girls in the ring loudly and angrily to keep up their heel characters. After about three minutes backstage, Melina and Victoria started talking while they changed back into their regular clothes.

"So, you've basically been doing the same thing I'm doing on RAW huh?" Melina asked tying up the laces on her black leather boots.

"Yup, basically. Jobbing...losing...shouting...the usual basically." Victoria said with an exagerated smile.

"Exactly. You know, we seriously need change for this company. I mean, this women's division could be on top of the world in wrestling if they would just give us the right fueds, mic time, and everything." Melina said putting on her black pink glittered skull t-shirt.

"Oh lord, here we go again. Melina rant...part two!" Victoria said flashing her hands and laughing.

"No, I'm serious. Like, for example, I was watching TNA the other day, and the girls actually had a freaking ladder match on the pay-per-view. Now why can't WE do something like that?"

"Because Vince doesn't want us to damage our pretty little faces or pop an implant." Victoria said sarcastically.

"Well, all of it is bull to me. I thought we were over this whole 'girls can't do anything but stand there and be pretty' phase in wrestling. Do Lita and Chyna NOT come into their minds when they're in their creative team meetings? I mean, they were pretty much the biggest women career wise in WWE."

"Hell, do WE not come in their minds when they're thinking of creative things?" Victoria asked cockily making Melina laugh.

"Obviously not unless it's 'Victoria and Melina will loose their 500th match on RAW next week' to Playboy girl number 1 and 2." Melina said jokingly.

The conversation went on for a little longer until Melina heard a slight buzzing noise in the room. She looked around for a little bit and then looked down to realize that it was her phone that inside her black duffel bag. She bent down and took the phone out and saw a number that she didn't notice.

"Who is that?" Victoria asked.

"I dunno," Melina said with an odd look on her face while she opened her flip phone. "Hello?" she answered questioningly.

"Hey, is this Melina?" a deep voice asked over the phone.

"Umm, yeah, who is this?" Melina asked.

"Oh, cool, this is Shawn." Hernandez said over the phone making Melina smile in relief.

"Oh, hi. Thank god it's you, I thought you were some stalker or something, you sound different over the phone." Melina spoke into the phone while Victoria asked who it was silently.

"Haha, you don't have to worry about that, just little ol' me." Hernandez said laughing.

"Yeah, you're really little," Melina said sarcastically and rolling her eyes while looking through a magazine to find a picture of Hernandez that she could show to Victoria. "So anyways, what's up?" Melina asked finally finding a picture and giving the magazine to Victoria pointing to the picture.

"Well, I'm finally all settled into the hotel and everything so I was wondering if maybe you wanted to hang out with me and a couple of other people at a bar on North Avenue tonight?" Hernandez asked while Melina sat down on the couch across from Victoria.

"Uh, yeah, sure, I'll go," Melina answered while holding her thumb up to Victoria who mouthed 'are you serious' moments earlier. "So you said the bar's on North Avenue?"

"Yeah, you'll notice it immediatly once you get there. You think you could be there around ten thirty?" Hernandez asked.

"Um..yeah, I should be there around then, who else is gonna be there?"

"Uh...'Cide, Shelly, Angel, and some other people from TNA."

"Oh, okay, well I guess I'll see you there then." Melina said smiling.

"All right, see you later." Hernandez replied back.

"'Kay, bye."

"Bye."

Melina got off of her phone and right when she looked ahead, Victoria was looking at her with piercing eyes. Melina knew instantly what she was thinking right when Victoria started to smile a little bit.

"No Vic, I do not like him!" Melina said throwing her hands up in the air.

"Uh huh...that's all I'm gonna say." Victoria said laughing while grabbing her bag ready to leave.

"Well, I guess there IS a first for everything," Melina said laughing and getting her stuff together. Right when Victoria was about to walk out of the door, Melina got an idea. "Wait, Vic, you wanna come with me?" Melina asked before Victoria got too far away.

"Ooh, sorry, I can't, I'm spending time with my brother while he's up here."

"Your brothers up here?" Melina asked closing the door while they both headed to the parking lot.

"Yeah, some Canadian street race that he's been wanting to see for years now so I'm gonna go there."

"Oh, cool. Well, maybe I'll meet ya up there after I'm done hanging with Shawn." Melina said getting the door for Victoria.

"All right, well I'll see you later," Victoria said giving Melina a hug. "Call me tomorrow and tell me about your sexcapade." Victoria said laughhing while Melina just shrugged her off.

Melina laughed to herself and put her stuff in the car that she rented. She was ready to go and meet Hernandez and the rest of the people from TNA until she heard a soft noise coming from behind her. She looked back and saw John running toward her car, which was her sign of leaving immediatly.

"Melina! Melina!" John screamed from across the parking lot as Melina got in her car quickly.

Melina got in her car and quickly tried to put the key in the ignition, but she was too late, John had already made it to her window and was knocking on it. She rolled her eyes and rolled the window down enough so that she could roll it back up quickly, but still talk to her ex.

"Will you stop doing that? This is a RENTED car ya know?"

"Yeah, sorry, I just need to talk to you right quick." John said trying to catch his breath a little.

"What?" Melina asked looking right at him this time.

"I was wondering...you maybe wanna go out to eat tonight or something?" he asked putting his hand on the hood of the car which Melina hated.

"Sorry, I got plans." Melina said almost rolling the window back up.

"Wait," John replied quickly causing Melina to stop in her tracks and look back up at him. "Look, I know we're not together anymore and everything, but I don't want us to be like mortal enemies or anything."

"Well it's a little late for that don't you think? Number one, you dumped ME for what seems to be no apparent reason except for me being a 'bitch', and two, like you said, it's probably best if we don't talk to each other for a while, don't cha think?" Melina finished rolling up the window before he could say anything else.

Melina finally got the car started and burnt rubber to get away from her ex. She looked in the rear view mirror and could see him standing there in his jacket (with no shirt on under of course) looking at her drive away. Part of her wanted to feel bad and go back to say she wanted him back, but the other part wanted to get out of the car and kick his ass for dumping her in the first place. She was still a little content on the fact that they hadn't talked about the breakup at all since it happened, but at the same time, relieved since she didn't like screaming or crying in the slightest bit. After a few minutes of driving to herself and thinking about the situation, Melina decided to just shrug it off and get to the bar before Hernandez started thinking she'd dissed him, it was already 10:35 and she didn't even realize it until she had looked down at her phone, which was vibrating because of a new text that she was recieving, most likely from Hernandez.

"Where u at?" the text said with the signature 'Nandez 08' so she knew who it was from.

She was going to reply back, but looked back at the road when she heard very loud music coming from a large building which she decided must've been the bar that he was speaking of. She parked across the street and made her way inside after locking all of the car doors. Once inside, Melina immediatly felt the party atmosphere around her. It didn't look like a bar at all, it looked like a 21 and up night club right down to the neon lights everywhere and the red dance floor surrounded by golden security bars. She looked around and finally spotted Hernandez and the other TNA superstars sitting at a table toward the back against a wall. She made her way over there and surprisingly, wasn't greeted by Hernandez, but Shelly Martinez, who was a good friend of hers when she was in WWE as Ariel and played her sister in the inides when she was known as Kyra.

"HEY! I was wondering whether or not you'd make it." Shelly said pulling Melina into a hug, which Melina usually wouldn't have liked, but since it was a friend, she didn't mind.

"Yeah, I'm just runnin a little late, how've you been?" Melina asked pulling away from Shelly a little bit.

"Great, in TNA now and loving it. Come on, I wanna introduce you to some people," Shelly said leading Melina to a table full of TNA superstars. "Okay, so obviously you know Hernandez and Angel," Shelly said as they all waved at each other jokingly. "But the rest of these peeps are Alex, Chris, Hector, Homicide, call him 'Cide, Velvet McAss, aka Talia Doll, Gail, Eric, and Chris Daniels and his wife."

They all waved to Melina and Melina waved back generously taking a seat in the middle of Shelly and Hernandez, who were at the edge of the large table with the couch like bar seats.

"So Melina, pleased to meet you." Homicide said reaching his hand out for Melina to shake, which she did.

"Thank you...'Cide, was it?" she asked.

"Yeah. So, how's things in the 'other' company." he asked jokingly making everyone around him laugh.

"It's okay I guess. Could be a lot better, but hey, what can I do?"

"That's not what you were saying on the plane." Hernandez said laughing.

"Oh my god, shut up." Melina replied back slapping him jokingly on his arm.

"Ooh, what was she saying on the plane?" Shelly asked poking her head in Melina's face making her laugh.

"Oh, she was going OFF. Bitch this, ho's running around here, Playboy bimbo's everywher, that kinda stuff." Hernandez said before Melina covered his mouth.

"Well, it wasn't that graphic." Melina said smiling.

Hernandez finally got his hand free and pinned Melina back softly. "Don't believe her, yes it was. We had to apologize to the old lady who was in the row next to us she was going off so much." he said while everyone around laughed.

Everyone at the table just sat around and drank for a while except when Alex, Angel, and Talia got up and went over to the dance floor. Everyone at the end of the table was laughing their asses off as usual and talking.

"Melina, you are hilarious! I swear you need to leave WWE and bring your ass to TNA. You'd be AWESOME for LAX. Sure, not better than me, but you'd be freaking awesome." Shelly said making everyone around her laugh. "Plus, we could be sisters again." Shelly said hugging Melina playfully.

"Yeah Melina, plus TNA has the better womens division, you'd be awesome there." Hernandez said making Melina a little uncomfortable since she didn't really like talking about the somewhat war that TNA and WWE were in.

"Yeah, I guess. But I love being in WWE." Melina said trying to avoid the conversation a little.

"Well chica, there's one thing loving to be there, but if they aren't using you right, than I say FUCK EM ALL!!!" Hector said loudly making everyone him cheer and Melina laugh, helping her warm up to the conversation a little more.

"Yeah Hec, I guess you got a point there. I've actually used to always think about going over there once I saw Gail win the championship." Melina confessed to everyone while Gail put her drink in the air at the mention of her name.

"That's what made me decide to come to TNA, the women here aren't treated like a joke, we actually wrestle and we're appreciated." Shelly replied back.

"Yeah, THAT'S what made you come to TNA. That and the fact that your ass got fired." Homicide said making Hernandez and Hector start cracking up.

"Oh shut the fuck up," Shelly snapped back laughing. "Just because that roided up junkie started shit with me and ran to Vince like a little BITCH doesn't mean anything."

"HA! Speaking of which, you never told us what really happened. We're all a bit drunk and rowdy, speak the truth Shelly!" Gail shouted across the table.

"SPEAK THE TRUTH, SPEAK THE TRUTH, SPEAK THE TRUTH!" Everyone started chanting in between laughs making everyone around their table look over and smile a little.

Shelly was about to say something, but Homicide beat her to it. "No, no, don't even say anything, I'll do it for you," he said turning around to do something which made everyone at the table pay attention. Homicide turned around and had everyone at the table, especially Gail and Chris Daniels, cracking up when they saw he stuck some of the pillows from the couch in his shirt and had some of Shelly's hair on his head. "Okay everyone, I'm not gonna say anything now, but just wait until , that's comes out and you'll hear the whole story." Homcide said grabbing onto the pillows and making everyone laugh.

"Oh my god, I hate you." Shelly said still laughing and giving Homicide a big hug.

Things went on like this until everyone had to leave and go to their own respected hotel rooms. Everyone said their good-byes and left the club except for Hernandez, Homicide, and Shelly, who were all hitching a ride with Melina since they all just figured out they were staying at the same hotel. The party continued in the car, almost to the point where Hernandez couldn't concentrate on driving. Especially when he looked back in the rear view window and saw Shelly bouncing up and down on Melina (who was laughing) while Homicide looked on in amazement. They finally got to the hotel after about 5 minutes of driving and parked the car in the driveway better to all go their respective ways.

"All right, see ya tomorrow Nandez. And call me Mel, I want a second round!" Shelly said jokingly making Melina laugh.

"All right, see ya 'Cide." Melina said and Homicide waved bye to her too.

Shelly and Homicide now were in the hotel leaving only Melina and Hernandez at the trunk of the car getting all of Melina's stuff out of it.

"Hold on, hold on, let me help with that." Hernandez said quickly grabbing a bag that Melina was about to drop right on her foot.

"Oh, thanks. How do we keep getting into odd situations involving luggage bags?" Melina asked chuckling a little.

"Because you're clumsy and I'm damn near a 300 lb man who just so happens to be a wrestler." He said carrying Melina's stuff in the hotel for her while she got the door.

Things were silent for a little bit until Hernandez decided to start another conversation while they were waiting for the elevator, which was at the top floor. "So, tonight what you expected it to be?" he asked nervously looking over at Melina who was laughing thinking of the whole night.

"Well, if you think that I would've expected Talia to get on the table with Gail and shake her ass in my face, Homicide to pull that thing with Shelly, and Angel and Alex to start making out right in front of us, then yeah, it's absoloutly everything I expected." Melina said smiling.

"Well, we can't forget the best part, you three way dancing with Chris and his wife and then leading everyone into our first toast together." Hernandez said laughing thinking of all their half drunken friends.

Melina chuckled. "Yeah, I guess it was a good night after all huh?" she asked stepping into the elevator which had finally come.

"Yeah, it was really good." Hernandez said looking down at her with a smile.

Shockingly enough though, the whole elevator ride was pretty much silent and neither Hernandez nor Melina spoke a word, there was just a very akward silence. Finally, they were on the fifth floor and at Melina's door which she opened with a single swipe of her card, which kind of surprised her a little considering she usually had bad luck with hotel cards. Hernandez put her stuff in her room for her and came back.

"So, I guess this is good-bye again huh big guy?" Melina asked with a smile.

"Yeah, guess so," Hernandez said laughing. "I guess I'll see ya later, huh?"

"Yeah, of course." Melina said pulling him into a hug.

They hugged for a little and then pulled apart smiling at each other.

"All right, bye." Hernandez said starting to walk off.

"See you." Melina said waving at him and walking into her room, shutting the door.
