"What? No, I wasn't out with Ted Dibiase." Alex lied as she placed her bag on her bed.
"Don't lie to me Alex, I saw you two together!" Kelly shouted.
"So, maybe I was. What does it matter to you?" Alex said dryly.
"Alex there is so much wrong with that."
"What, what exactly is wrong with that, Kelly? I was out with a colleague, so what."
"Okay, one – you have a boyfriend, you know, Ryan. Two – I heard what you said to him Alex. Why are you lying to him?" Kelly asked.
Alex stiffened. How could Kelly possibly know that Alex was lying to Ted? Alex stayed silent.
"Mhm, exactly. Alex, what have you been telling him, or better yet, what haven't you been telling him." Kelly asked. Her voice was a lot calmer than before.
Alex took a deep breath in and opened her mouth. A few moments passed before Alex closed her mouth and dropped down on the edge of her bed. Alex buried her face into her hands and her eyes began to water.
"I-I've told him my name is Al, not Alex. He doesn't know I work for the WWE, let alone that I'm on the RAW brand and…" Alex thought for a moment. "That's it." She finally murmmed.
Kelly sat next to Alex, wrapping her arms around her friend. "Why though?"
"Because I was embarrassed. He heard me fighting with Ryan and I didn't want anyone, especially someone I worked with knowing about my relationship problems. Then we met again in the elevator for the second time and he heard me fighting with Ryan again…" Alex's voice trailed off. "T-Then we met another time at the gym and he asked me out. I'm so stupid, I shouldn't have accepted."
"Why did you?" Kelly asked as she rubbed her friends back.
"I don't know. I shouldn't have, I knew I shouldn't have… but I-"Kelly cut her off.
"But you wanted to, right?"
Alex nodded.
"Alex, Look. Ted's a great guy, trust me I know, but you're with Ryan. You have to remember that. Maybe Ryan doesn't have that cute smirk that Ted has or maybe Ryan doesn't use as much Baby Oil as Ted does, but you and Ryan have been together for ages."
Alex thought for a moment. Kelly was right, she knew that. But Ted, Ted kept drawing her in, not matter how hard she tried to resist she couldn't.
"Kelly, Your right. I know your right, I do. It's just; maybe I've been with Ryan for so long, that I've grown sick of him?" Alex thought, and then buried her face into her hands again. "What am I saying?" She exclaimed. "I'm with Ryan, I'm happily with Ryan. I haven't even known Ted for 24 hours and I'm already going crazy over him." Alex felt tears streaming down her eyes. "Kelly, I can't do that to Ryan, I just can't."
"Alex, Ryan doesn't deserve to be heartbroken, but you don't deserve to be unhappy."
Alex listened to Kelly's words. Repeating them over and over in her head. Kelly was right, Alex deserved to be happy, didn't she? Maybe Ryan and I, aren't meant for each other.
"Alex we've got to get going. Have you got your gear packed?" Kelly asked, interrupting her thoughts.
"Yeah, but look at me, I'm a mess." Alex replied, running her fingers through her hair.
"True, but you're a hot mess." Kelly joked. "Don't worry, that's what stylists are for, sweetie." Kelly said grabbed Alex's hand and lifted her up off the bed. Alex giggled softly and grabbed her bag. She quickly picked up her Blackberry and purse from the bed and follow Kelly out the door.
"So what are you going to do about Ted?" Kelly asked.
"I honestly, don't know." Alex said with a sigh. "I mean what if we bump into each other, what if he sees me on screen, what if…" Alex's voice kept on ramblings. She did that when she was nervous.
"Don't worry, Al." Kelly said with a soft laugh. "I'll cover for you. But… you have to tell him, I'll give you until next week, but when we're in San Diego, he better know the truth." Kelly said with a stern tone.
"Wow, you sound just like my dad!" She laughed.
Her dad, oh how she missed her dad. Alex's dad brought her up into wrestling. Her dad was a wrestler as well; he wrestled all over the world. Surprisingly he never worked for the WWE. It didn't matter to Alex though; her father was an amazing wrestler and known as a veteran on the independent circuit. None of that mattered to Alex though, she loved being around her Dad. He was the best person in her life. But on the 7th of November, 2008 her father died of a fatal heart attack. Losing her father killed her. But that made Alex thrive to be a WWE wrestler to make him proud.
"But, I will tell him. Just at the right time." Alex said as they walked out of the lobby.
The two hopped into Kelly's rental car and made their way to the arena. Alex's stomach was doing flips and turning all over the place. She thought she was going to puke. Then the thought of Ted came into mind, what if he found out. Would he hate her forever? Then her blackberry went off, interrupting her thoughts.
NEW MESSAGE:
From: Ryan Stewart.
To: Alex Evans.
GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, THINKING OF YOU. X
Alex scoffed. It was like Ryan was having mood swings. Alex rolled her eyes and ignored it. She didn't need to hear from Ryan just a few hours before her debut.
"Who was it?" Kelly asked as they both climbed out of the car.
"Ryan." Alex said walking to the trunk.
Kelly got out both of their bags and placed them on the ground. Alex lifted her duffle bag over her shoulder and the two divas made their way towards the arena.
Alex could feel the butterflies in her stomach. They felt as if they were going to fly out of her mouth. Alex was anything but ready to face Ted, or the fans.
Sorry! I was going to make this the debut chapter, but I wanted to leave you guys hanging. The next chapter, I promise! :) xox.
