Chapter 14: Surprise, Surprise

After she finished crying, Laura walked back inside. She stood in the center of the room and looked around as John and Sara sat there in complete silence.

"He left." She sighed and shrugged not knowing what to say. She walked into the kitchen and sat on the counter.

She spotted Johns phone on the counter and picked it up. As she scrolled through the contacts, she came across Brian Kendrick who was of course, Pauls partner and best friend.

"Hmm." She thought to herself and transferred the number into her phone. She clicked his name on her phone and waited for an answer.

"Hello?" Brian said in his normal, soft voice.

"Hey Brian. I'm the new interviewer on RAW, and well I'm looking after Paul while he's injured, we got into a little argument and I was wondering if you had his address, if you could…give it to me." She said feeling a little nervous.

"Why of course sweetie…" He gave her the address and the two ended the call right there with just a couple 'goodbyes'.

Laura got up, grabbed her keys and debated on whether driving or getting a ticket for a flight. "Guys, I um. I wont be back til tomorrow or the day after." She glanced at her sister and John.

"Sis, what are you up to?" Sara asked completely confused.

"I'm going to get Paul." She sighed. "John, will you look after her?"

John nodded. "I trust you John, and Sara call if you need anything." She headed out the door and bought a plane ticket. She waited around the airport for about an hour waiting for the next flight to come in.

"You're Laura, aren't you?" A woman about the same age as Laura asked looking down at her.

"Why yes, I am. And you are?" She asked politely.

"Sheila, I'm a big wrestling fan." She sat beside Laura. "Can I get a picture, if it's not too much trouble." Laura got up right away. "Of course you can." She put her arm around the fan and faked a smile as her friend took the photo.

She glanced at the ladies shirt and realized it was the Hooliganz one. Sheila noticed her glancing. "Something wrong?" She asked confused.

"Sorry, I just like your shirt." She smiled and looked at it again.

"Oh, yeah I love those guys. Do you ever talk to them?" Sheila asked sitting back down.

Laura nodded. "Yeah, I'm friends with Paul…Im actually headed to Texas now to go get him." She smiled not bothering to explain anything.



"Really, wow you two are dating, I wouldn't let that one go." Sheila chuckled and winked.

"Heh…Yeah." Laura mumbled and didn't care to tell her they weren't dating.

The flight was called as Laura got up. "Well, that's my flight. Nice meeting you." She smiled at Sheila and got onto the plane.

Once she arrived in Texas. She got into a cab and headed straight for Austin, giving the cab driver the address.

The cab pulled up to Pauls house, she paid and got out taking a deep breath and looking down at her feet as she walked up the path to his house. 'What a nice house…and this is just the outside.' She thought to herself and looked around.

She rang the doorbell once and stood there nervously.

No answer.

She rang it again and waited a good two or three minutes.

Still no answer.

"Greeeat." She looked at the driveway noticing no car.

She sat on the top step and ended up falling asleep curled up against the rail, her head resting on her sweater as a pillow.

She heard a car door slam a couple hours later, but it was too dark to really see. She looked up and squinted her eyes. The figure kept walking, coming closer and closer.

He finally reached where the light was shone as she looked up at him not knowing what to say or how he would react.

"Laura? What are you doing here?" Paul asked looking up at her on the steps.
