Chapter 16: attempt
"What?" Aaliyah asked, finding it hard to believe Randy really did love her.
"Please don't make me say it again." Randy begged, his shoulders slouched.
She shook her head. "Goodbye Randy. I'll talk to you tomorrow. This is too much for me right now," she placed her hand on the door ready to open it.
"That's it?"
Aaliyah didn't move but let out a sigh. "Is what it?"
"I tell you how I really feel and you just leave me in the dust? Honestly Aaliyah I thought I knew you better than that,"
"You don't know shit Randy!" Aaliyah screamed, turning around in anger. "You don't know what the fuck I've been through. In fact you barely know me and you claim your in love. Whatever Randal. Just leave me the hell alone," she took a breath. "When you see me in the halls at the arena or this hotel or any other place don't talk to me, don't look at me. I don't want nothing to do with you," she opened the door and Trish fell back from listening through the door.
"Fuck you Aaliyah," Randy said walking away.
"Fuck you right back!" she flipped him off and slammed the door shut.
Trish looked baffled and continued to sit on the floor where she fell. Shawn, John, and Aleera all held in laughs at the scene of Trish falling. Aaliyah on the other hand stormed into one of the other bedrooms and slammed the door shut.
"ALL OF YOU LEAVE ME ALONE!" She screamed, not wanting any company.
"What happened?" Aleera asked Trish, knowing she heard a good amount of the talk.
The blond explained the best she could. They could hear Aaliyah crying the whole time. When she finished the story, Aleera attempted to go in the bedroom but knew it was best to wait a day.
John insisted that Trish and Shawn came back tomorrow, when the atmosphere would be a lot calmer. Jack was watching TV again ignoring everyone around him.
Aaliyah seemed to be a little better as the days passed. She started working extra hard to get Jack caught up with his learning's. She convinced the hotel manager to let them use the conference room to get more work done.
Aleera just came back from dropping Jack off, giving her and John a few hours to do whatever.
John sat in front of the TV watching the show Bridzillas. He completely fell in love with it as he always made fun of the brides going insane. It also gave him an idea he wanted to bring up with his girlfriend, hoping she felt the same.
He noticed her making a snack in the little kitchen of the hotel and stumbled over her. She kissed him on the lips before going back to making her BLT.
Cena jumped on the counter top as she flipped the bacon, resting her head on his chest.
"I love you Aleera," John said, breathing in her vanilla scent.
"I love you to John," Aleera replied kissing his bare chest.
"Can I ask you something?"
Aleera finished her sandwich as the bacon came to a nice crisp. "Go ahead,"
He took in a breath. "How would you like to get married?"
Aleera almost choked on her first bite and quickly downed the glass of water she had. "Do what?"
"Get married. We both love each other and it would be good for Jack,"
She shook her head. "Um I don't know John. Marriage is such a big thing,"
"No it's not," John stood up, grabbing the sides of Aleera's face to look in her hazel eyes. "Were both ready, Jack is even ready.
"John, your insane! I have to go, I can't think,"
She started walking towards the door with her BLT in her hand. John grabbed her hand as she reached for the door.
"Aleera please, think about it,"
"No John!" she yelled, shutting the door behind her.
Aleera took the elevator one floor up and knocked repeatedly. Trish opened the door and let her best friend in immediately at the look on her face.
She gave her a glass of water, downing it in one sip. Trish waited patiently for Aleera to explain why she came over.
Catching her breath, Aleera said. "John tried to propose,"
Trish's face lit up. "Oh my gosh! Really? What did you say?"
"Nothing, I hate the sound of marriage. So many people get divorced now a days and I can't deal with that. Plus how do I know if me and John are going to stay together forever? He left me last time for his wrestling career,"
The Woman's champ leaned closer to Aleera. "Girl, give John some credit. He was willing to throw his career away for you. Doesn't that prove something?"
"He never told me that,"
"Oh, he told me," she leaned back, sitting on an extra chair.
"Great, he tells you more shit than his own girlfriend!"
"Calm down Aleera,"
"No, this is way too much for me. I need to get away for awhile,"
"Where are you going to go?"
Aleera thought for a moment. "Jeff is going to his house for a week or so. So I'm going to ask to tag along."
"John is going to kill you,"
"Cool,"
Aleera hugged her best friend and headed back towards her own room.
John was sitting on the bed, a few tears staining his cheeks. He half smiled when he saw the love of his life come in. She completely ignored him and quickly went to pack her things.
Once everything she had was packed, she stared at her boyfriend, a pained expression across her face at his sadness.
She pulled him into a bear hug, pecking him on the lips before pulling on her jacket.
"John, I'm going somewhere for a week. I need to clear my head and get out of this atmosphere. You are probably going to get angry, but I'm going to convince Jeff to let me stay with him when he goes home,"
John was stunned. He could barely find his words. "Aleera, why are you doing this? What's so wrong with marriage?"
"John stop please. I'll be gone for a week. I'm saying goodbye to Jack then leaving,"
The door was only two steps away before John held her to his chest. "Please don't leave,"
"Goodbye John,"
Aleera wiggled out of his grip and closed the door with a slight bang. She rushed down the hall to the room she knew where the younger Hardy stayed.
They didn't talk much except for a few conversations during Raw. It was a little risky move on Aleera's part but she was willing to do anything to get away from everything right now.
It took a minute before Jeff answered to the awaiting visitor. He was very shocked to see Aleera on the other side. She smiled half hearted, stepping in.
Jeff stood at the door as Aleera stood in front of him. His arms were crossed on his chest, waiting patiently to see what she needed.
"Okay, so I know we don't talk much and everything but I heard your going to your place tomorrow for a week and I was wondering if I could tag along. John and Jack and Aaliyah are stressing me out way too much right now and all I need to do is get an escape. I promise I won't be annoying or let you regret saying yes if you do," Aleera said, taking a breath as she finished her rehearsed speech.
Jeff smiled. "Of course you can. I can understand," he paused for a minute. "Will John kill me to agreeing with this?" his eyebrow cocked.
"No, trust me he won't do anything,"
"Good," he smiled again. "Plane leaves at noon. Get a good sleep,"
"Okay, let me say goodbye to my son and I'll be back in ten minutes,"
"Take a key, I'm going to get some dinner. What you want from Burger King?"
Aleera smiled. "Chicken fries, and thanks," she grabbed a key.
"When I get back, I want the full story,"
"Yes sir!"
They both left the hotel room, going separate ways.
Jack ran to the door as he saw his mother through the window. She let out a laugh as his face was plastered against the glass. Aaliyah let her in and right away she knew something was up.
Aleera kneeled on the floor so she was the same height as her son. She hugged and kissed him one more time before breaking the news.
"Jack, honey. Mommy is going to leave for a week. Daddy and I just got into a fight about marriage and I can't handle it right now," Aleera said, combing her fingers through his hair.
"Mommy, why? I want you two married," Jack said, tears springing in his eyes.
"I'm sorry baby. I don't think I'm ready. Just have fun with your father and don't miss me to much,"
"But mom its not fair! Marry daddy! For me, please!" he begged, jumping up and down.
"Jack, stop please. I don't want to leave like this. We'll talk when I get back,"
"Goodbye mom,"
"I love you sweetie,"
"Love you to,"
He hugged her one last time before sitting in his chair, ready for the lesson to pick back up. Aaliyah hugged her goodbye wishing her luck before she departed.
