A/N: I don't own any wrestlers for WWE or TNA.
CenaCandiceFan4Life- Thanks for the reviews; I appriciate it! You are the reason I am still writing the story. :)
Evan POV
I was nervous as we left school because I really liked Merci. She was definitely different from any other girls on the island. She seriously didn't care what people think and it was nice. I drove up to the other side of the island and stopped at a public beach.
"Come on." I told her and we got out.
"Go change and meet me back here." I told her and she nodded. She had learned just to bring a swimsuit with her everywhere and I was glad.
"What are we doing?" she asked me and I smiled.
"Snorkeling." I said and she smiled.
I gave her a mask and fins and we went into the ocean. I held her hands as we snorkeled around the reef and showed her an old boat wreck on the ocean floor. She even got to see dolphins and some unusual fish. We had fun and swam for a long time. We finally got back onto the beach and she was smiling at me.
"I had fun." She said and smiled at me.
"Good, now we just gotta eat." I said and she nodded.
We changed back and left to go grab food. The island only had a few places to eat so I just took her to my house. She was surprised when I pulled up to my house.
"This is your house?" she asked me and I nodded. My parents were rich and I usually didn't bring people to my house. I didn't want people to only be friends because of what I had; I didn't think that she was like that.
"Yeah, come on." I said and took her hand as we walked inside.
"Evan, is that you?" my mom called.
"Yes, mom, I have Merci with me." I said.
Merci POV
Evan lived in a mansion and it was amazing. I was a little nervous meeting his mom, but I just hoped that she liked me. I knew I wasn't dating him, but I still hated meeting parents.
"Merci, it's nice to meet you, I have heard a lot about you." she said and I blushed.
"Honey, they are all good things." She said and I smiled.
"Come on, let's get some food." Evan said and I followed him to the kitchen.
We decided on a frozen pizza and ate it outside on the patio. I was having fun and Evan was fun to talk to and he was funny. He took me home around 9 pm and I kissed his cheek before I went inside.
I had forgotten about everything, but I snapped into reality when my head snapped left because I ran into my father's fist. I just laid there as he yelled and my mom was in the bedroom crying. I got up and got knocked back down a few more times. I finally made it to my room when my dad got bored of hitting me.
I showered and sat down on my bed. I took my shirt off and I knew that I had bruises everywhere, but I would deal with it tomorrow when I was getting ready for school. I finally fell asleep a little later, but I never got comfortable.
Jeff POV
I was in my room when I saw Merci in her room. She was sitting on her bed when she took her shirt off; I didn't see anything because her back was to me, but I was shocked at what I did see. I saw large bruises on her back and a few marks that looked like she had been whipped. I wanted nothing more than to help her, but I knew that I couldn't because I didn't want her getting upset.
"Jeff?" Matt called and I turned to look at him.
"What is it?" he asked me and I just pointed. Matt gasped when he saw Merci and sat next to me.
"What did that?" he asked me and I shrugged.
"I don't know, maybe it was her dad." Matt said and I looked at him funny.
"I was outside the other night and I could hear her dad yelling at her and just tried to ignore it. He was saying some pretty mean things, but I knew that it wasn't any of my business. I didn't know he was actually hitting her." Matt said and I nodded.
"Should we ask her about it?" I asked Matt and he shrugged.
I didn't sleep much that night because I was worried about Merci. She was a nice girl and I didn't want her getting hurt. I did have some feelings for her.
I got up the next morning and met Merci outside. She had her hair down and she had on a long sleeve t-shirt and capris. I knew the shirt was covering all the bruises and I felt bad for her. I didn't want her to know because I didn't want her to get mad at me watching her.
"Hey." She said.
"Hey." I said.
"What's up?" she asked me and I shrugged.
"What are you doing tonight?" I asked her and she shrugged.
"Phil wanted to do something." She said and I nodded.
We drove to school and parked next to each other. I was trying to act normal, but I felt bad for her.
"See ya later." She said as she went to her first class.
Merci POV
I went to class and talked to Evan and Mickie. I was glad that they couldn't tell that anything was wrong. I was glad that I had gone out with Evan last night and I had fun. He was a great guy. I was sitting in class when he passed me a note.
Had fun, you up for it again sometime? ~Evan
I replied and passed back.
Have fun 2, yeah anytime ~M
I went through school that day and I was glad it was Friday. Kelly made sure that I was still up for doing something on Sunday and I said that was fine. I finished up and went to the dojo to meet Phil. John was working and I made up the excuse that I was checking the schedule.
"Ready?" Phil asked me and I nodded.
We left in his truck and I left mine at the dojo. Phil drove to the local café and we went in. We sat down a t the table and I smiled at him.
"Thank for letting me make it up to you." he said and I nodded.
"Everyone deserves a chance." I said and he smiled.
"Hey, Phil, who is your friend?" A guy asked him.
"Hey, Dave, this is Merci." He said and I smiled at the other guy.
"Hi, oh I meet you the other day with John." Dave said and I nodded.
"You look different when you aren't at the dojo." He said and I laughed.
"Thanks, so do you." I said and he smiled.
"You want the usual?" Dave asked Phil and he nodded and then he looked at me.
"Same." I said and they looked at me.
"You don't know what it is." Dave said and I shrugged.
"I like surprises." I said and they laughed. Dave just shrugged and walked to the kitchen.
"So, do everyone's parents here own something on the island?" I asked him.
"Yeah, for the most part, either you own something or your Navy." He said and I nodded.
"I even fit into that group." I said and he smiled.
We talked a little and Phil was a nice guy to hang out with. I was glad that I had agreed to go with him. We got done and went back to the dojo.
"Come on, they are having fight night." He said and I shrugged, but followed him inside.
We went in and in the back where the ring was set up they were having wrestling/MMA fights.
"Let's watch." He said and we sat down. I was between Phil and John and I felt small. Evan was up fighting some other guy on the island and he was holding his own pretty well. I watched most of the matches with Phil and I was having fun.
"We do this every night, you should fight sometime." Phil said and I laughed as I shook my head no.
"Merci?" Evan asked as he walked up.
"Hey, you did good." I told him and he looked at me.
"She works here and she is taking lessons." Phil said and Evan nodded.
"Cool." He said.
He sat with us and I stayed until it was over. I saw Jeff and Matt tag up and fight two other guys. Matt and Jeff won and I was happy for them. I finally left and went home; I snuck around me dad and fell asleep early that night.
