Chapter 5

Misty awoke feeling happy and refreshed which was a rare thing as she only slept a few hours a day, usually five hours tops. She decided to have a long bath to get ready for the day ahead. She wasn't entirely sure what was planned for today other then the 'do-over' business lunch, which is now a business breakfast. As Misty was getting her bathrobe ready for when she comes out of her bath, she noticed a note being pushed under her hotel room. She was hesitant at first to go near it but eventually curiosity got the better of her.

Good morning Misty,

I do hope you have slept well.

I will meet you in the lobby at 8:30am for our breakfast meeting.

Please make sure you bring clothes to train in as we will be out for the whole day.

Today is a new day and hopefully we will both learn something from each other.

See you in the lobby.

Mark.

Misty looked at the clock and it was 8am. She had decided because she wanted to be on time she would shower instead of bathing. After getting clothes ready for the day ahead she hopped into the shower and then was out after five minutes. Misty decided to wear a pair of jogging bottoms and a purple long sleeved top. She didn't like showing off skin as she was always put down by her adoptive parents about her looks. Misty wasn't ugly by any means but her adoptive parents got a kick out of putting her down.

Misty was looking at herself in the mirror. She had just saved enough money from her paper round job to buy a dress she had liked. She didn't have anywhere to go or anyone to wear it for but she just loved the thought of wearing it and it made her feel good. It was a long crimson silk dress with purple flowers on it. Misty had only just got home from the store and tried the dress on straight away. After a while she put the dress away and decided to go downstairs to make dinner. Having been in a great mood all day, Misty loved feeling this good and wondered what could make it better. Then it hit her...she had no one to share this happiness with.

Her adoptive mother came into the kitchen and just smirked at Misty.

"Why the long face?"

"No long face. I was just thinking, that's all." Misty replied with her back to her adoptive mother.

"I'm going out tonight and I'm going to wear that lovely dress you bought me."

Misty turned around and saw the smirk.

"I'm sorry but no you are not. I spent my hard earned money to buy that dress." Misty said speaking up for herself.

"Why on earth would you want a dress? You don't go out anywhere and I'm pretty sure there is no one knocking on the door asking you out. Now go upstairs and get me that dress...and don't try it on again. You might stretch it too much. It also doesn't go with your pasty skin." She said with harshness.

Misty looked down at her figure and felt sick. She pinched her belly and hips', grabbing at what ever fat was there. She had believed every word just spoken to her. Holding back tears and ignoring the feeling of pain and disappointment that had sprang up inside her, she quietly went upstairs and did as she was told. As she handed the dress over, Misty's happiness had faded altogether. It wasn't simply a dress she was handing over, but also what little was left of her confidence and self esteem. From that moment on she never thought to try and make herself feel pretty or look nice, and would always wear clothes that covered her up and were one size too big.

Misty got dressed and grabbed her bag. She looked around the room to make sure she had what she needed with her. She needed to keep her mind occupied otherwise she would feel herself slipping into a depression she never wants to feel again. Misty held her head high and walked out of the hotel room and headed straight downstairs to meet Mark for breakfast.

Misty looked at the clock in the hotel lobby and it read 8:15am. After thinking of whether to go to the hotel restaurant or wait for Mark in the lobby. Misty decided that she would go to the store opposite the hotel and get a small pick me up. Root Beer always helped Misty feel calm and relaxed when her nerves got the better of her. Root Beer isn't everyone's first choice for a morning drink but Misty felt she needed it.

Misty crossed the street and entered the store went to the fridges to get her Root Beer. She looked around the store and picked up some water for when she was training. As she turned around from the fridges to go pay for her drinks, she bumped into someone and fell backwards. Misty hit the floor hard but didn't complain. As she looked up, her eyes grew wide.

"I'm sorry darlin' I didn't see you there".

"No it was my fault. I should have looked when I was turning around. Sorry Si...Mark!"

Mark felt like an idiot as he had bumped into her quite hard and noticed Misty land pretty hard.

"Here, let me help you up." Mark held his hand out for Misty to grab.

As Misty took hold of Mark's hand, she got a sudden attack of pain in her lower back. Trying to hide the pain, Misty just smiled at Mark.

"Thank you Mark".

"You're welcome."

Mark and Misty made their way to the store counter and purchased their Root Beer and water. Misty had insisted on paying for Mark's water so he gave in to her and let her have her way. He loved that she was coming out of herself more and more in a short time. He found himself Liking Misty more and more. He loved her innocence.

The made their way out of the store, crossed the street and back to the hotel for the 'do-over' business breakfast in the hotel restaurant.

Mark led Misty to a table in the back of the restaurant. The waitress came over and took their drinks order. Mark ordered a black coffee and he ordered Misty a Root Beer. She smiled as he must have remembered she had bought some and hadn't had one yet.

"How did you sleep last night?" He asked just as their drinks were being served.

"I actually slept the best I have in years. Thank you for asking. How about yourself?" She said smiling whilst taking a sip of her Root Beer feeling less nervous.

"I slept pretty darn well too if I'm honest. Usually I only manage a few hours at the most but last night I must have slept five hours."

Mark looked at Misty and noticed she was staring at him with her mouth open. He thought she might have been staring at some toothpaste he might have left or something.

"You mind telling me what you are staring at? Or are you that hungry you decided to catch flies for breakfast?" He said the last part jokingly.

Misty simply blinked and then closed her mouth and blushed. She hadn't realized she was staring at him.

"I'm sorry, it's just I am the same!"

Mark cocked an eyebrow up at her.

Misty laughed at Mark. She thought he was cute when he looked confused.

"I didn't mean to laugh. I just meant that I am the same with the sleeping pattern. Just thought it was weird that we both slept well and have the same sleeping patterns."

Mark realized what she had meant and just smiled.

The waitress brought over their food and thanked the waitress as she left the table.

Misty looked down at her food and as if right on cue her stomach grumbled.

"Let's eat. Then we can get down to business." He said laughing as his stomach grumbled as well at the sight of food.

Once they had both finished eating their breakfast, Mark ordered another coffee for himself and another root beer for Misty. He noticed she felt more relaxed after her first one.

"Right, let's get down to business. I am here to train you to the best standard possible. I will push you very hard at times and you may not agree with me or my methods but believe me when I say...it is only so I can get the best out of you. In the past I have seen people with a lot of talent like you have, that didn't push to better themselves. Younger talent tend to get ego's very quickly and depending who they hang out with. They do tend to think they are above everyone. If I think your ego is getting too big...I will tell you. I think you have the drive to go far. I've seen your matches and I am very impressed with what I see." Mark looked at Misty to read her face after what he had just said.

"Thank you. I've not had many people be honest with what they expect from me. Usually the promoters just want me to go out and be stiff or go out and lay down for everything. When I go out into the ring, I wrestle for me and for the fans. I know what the fans like, so I go for that. That is the reason I do wrestling to be honest. If I can bring a smile to the fans I will do anything to do that. I know I have a lot to learn still and I will take everything you say to me seriously. I understand that this will be hard, I've never expected anything in life to be easy. I respect you and our craft. I just want to thank you for selecting me to be your trainee." She said with total confidence.

Mark was thinking over everything he had heard and felt proud just for her honesty.

"So we are in agreement. I will push you and get the best out of you and you will give me your all and listen?"

"Yes" She answered putting her hand out.

Mark shook her hand and smiled.

"I won't let you regret choosing me. So when do we start?" she asked after letting go form the hand shake.

"How about right after we finish up our drinks. We need to check you out of this hotel first though. I want you near me so we don't waste time with travelling back and forth from my hotel to yours. Also it'll mean I am on hand if you needed anything."

"I don't have much in my hotel room so I can go up there now and get my stuff so we can get started." She said trying not to feel nervous about being in a hotel with Mark. She did see his point. She would hate to waste time travelling but did love the fact that they would be closer in a way.

Mark smiled at the thought of her being closer. He finished up his drink and Misty did the same. They left money on the table and a tip for the waitress. They made their way to the lobby and went into the elevator to Misty's floor. As they made it out of the elevator onto Misty's floor. Misty bumped into somebody and hit the floor hard. She bit back the urge to scream from the pain and got up off of the floor.

"Watch where you're going!" said the person Misty had bumped into.

Misty looked up to see a tall blonde woman who looked like she was in her mid twenties. Misty went to respond to her until.

"I'm sorry but I do think you need to apologize to the lady here. You clearly should have been the one to watch where YOU where going!" Mark said with a hint of anger.

The woman clearly hadn't noticed Mark behind Misty and began to stutter her apologize.

"You okay?" Mark asked Misty as the woman walked away at top speed saying "sorry".

"Yeah, I'm ok thank you." Misty lied as she was indeed in a lot of pain. She didn't want to make Mark worry.

"Ok darling I'll wait for you outside your door while you pack up." He noticed she was in some sort of pain but would wait till they were in the car park of the hotel before asking her bout it.

Once Misty shut the door she got a pillow from the bed and started to scream into it. The pain was too much for her to bite back on. After 2 minuets of doing that she got all her stuff together. She only had a backpack as she packed light from having little to begin with. She looked around the room one last time and then left. Mark was waiting outside, leaning on the wall opposite.

"Are you ready to go? Do you have everything?" Mark looked at Misty and noticed the look was still there. He also noticed she only has a backpack.

"Yes". Misty walked towards the elevator and then her and Mark got in and pressed the button for the lobby floor.

Once there they checked Misty out of the hotel. Misty began to worry as she was in pain and also remembered Mark had his bike. That would make her back worse.

Mark had seen Misty looking nervous and he had a rough idea why. She was clenching her fists slightly from the agony and he knew she thought he had his bike again today. He had bought a rental car as he didn't feel much like riding a bike after training. He was going to postpone training today as he knows what back pain is like. Usually he would work through it but today he didn't feel much like seeing Misty in more pain then she already was. He didn't like the fact that she hadn't said anything to him yet about it. He expects her to be honest with him. Otherwise he would be pushing her too hard with not knowing she was in pain. He took a moment to think of how to make her admit her pain then it came to him.

"Wait here in the lobby while I get the valet to roll her around. "

Misty started to panic "is your hotel far from here? I feel like walking"

Mark was growing impatient. "It is about 20miles from here. I would like for us to begin training sooner rather then later. I wouldn't want you tiring yourself out walking all the way there darling."

"Excuse me sir, your ride will be 3 more minuets. Sorry for the delay". Said the head valet.

"It's ok, thank you for informing us." He smiled

Turning to Misty he had seen her looking really pale.

"Mark. I think we need to take me to a doctor."She said looking at the floor.

"Everything alright?" he actually started to get worried now. He had never seen anyone look that pale.

"I think I've done some real trouble to my back from getting knocked down twice today. I'm sorry I didn't say anything sooner but it's getting too much. Can I take a cab to the new hotel while you ride your bike?"

"Darling, you are not taking a cab and I'm not taking my bike." As if on cue Marks rental was here.

He ushered Misty to the passenger's side and buckled her in. When he got into his side he buckled up and started driving towards the new hotel.

"Are you allergic to anything? I'm asking as I've got to know just in case you pass out on me."

"Only penicillin." She answered.

"Okay, thanks darlin." He started to wind down the windows. He remembered the fresh air helping her calm yesterday.

Misty was grateful fro the windows being down. She loved the fresh air. It made her think about yesterday and how happy she was. Keeping her mind off of the pain, she closed her eyes and focused on yesterday and how happy she was.

Mark noticed her closing her eyes and started to worry. He seen her smile and felt a bit better that she looked a bit better. As Mark pulled into the hotel car park he noticed Misty had fallen asleep. She looked peaceful and relaxed. After a few minuets of being in the parking lot Mark sent a text instead of calling as not to wake Misty.

Buddy

Are you still in the hotel?

MC.

2 minuets gone by and marks phone vibrated.

Yeah Bud, Why what's wrong? Needing me to carry your cranky ass upstairs?

Mark chuckled.

Come down to the car park. I'm in the black hummer. Need your help with something.

MC.

Mark put his phone away and waited. He kept looking over at Misty making sure she was ok. As he turned back to look out of his window he jumped.

He saw a pale man grinning at him through the window. Mark wound the window down and signaled the man to keep quiet.

"I take it this is the something you need help with?" Looking over towards Misty sleeping.

"Yeah can you stay here in the car with here while I check her in?" He said in a whisper.

"No problem Mark."

"Thanks Glenn."

Mark went to the hotel reception and booked Misty the room next to his. He then rang the tour doctor and asked him to come to his room at 30mins. Mark made his way back to the car just in time to see Misty punch Glenn in the face. He ran to the car and opened Misty's door and grabbed hold of her. He could see she was shaken and still sleepy. She must have thought Glenn was going to hurt her.

"I'm sorry Glenn. I didn't expect her to wake up anytime soon. You okay?" He said looking worried.

"Man she can sure pack a punch. She your trainee I take it?" He said looking at his now swollen eye in the car side mirror.

"Yeah I'm sorry again. Man, Vince is going to have a fit at me for getting you a black eye. Don't you have to do the European tour in a few days?" Mark said looking relieved Misty was back to sleep.

"Nah, Vince said I can have some time off and rest up. I will however tell people that you gave me the black eye." Looking slightly embarrassed

"Ok but only if you help me carry her up to her room. It's the one next to mine. She's in a lot of pain; she got knocked on her ass twice today quite hard."

Glenn started grinning.

"Not like that you pervert!"

"I didn't imply anything with smiling."

Mark rolled his eyes. "I've got Larry coming to the room in 20 minuets to look her over."

Glenn simply nodded and went to pick her up but Mark got there first.

"Actually I'll carry her if you can get her bag and lock the car. Thanks." Mark cradled Misty close to his chest careful not to have her back in a bad position. He walked on ahead of Glenn so get Misty settled.

As Glenn got Misty's bag and locked the car up he began to smile. He noticed how worried his friend looked and how protective she was of Misty.

"Maybe they will be good for each other." He said to himself.

He started whistling to himself whilst heading up to the room. He quietly opened the door and was grinning even more with what he saw. Mark was sitting next to Misty on the bed, rubbing her back to soothe her pain. If Glenn didn't know any better he would have thought they were already a couple. He decided at that point he would spend his time off trying to make his best friend happy.
