*Axxess*

Deana and I are at access just to see The Shield. "De I'm so excited", I grabbed her arm and dragged her up the stairs to see them. "It's not like you never met them before. Relax woman", she shook me jokingly. "I'll try" I laughed. "This is why I love you" Deana pulled me forward. We were almost next in the line, I saw Jon and he saw me so he winked. I blushed and looked at the floor. "What happened?" Deana laughed knowing exactly what happened. "Don't play dumb blonde, you know what happened" I laughed. "You're the only person I except insulting my blondeness." We walked in front of the table. I spoke up, "Seth, Dean, Roman I'm Chris and I'm your biggest fan." The guys started chuckling, "Glad to meet you Chris", Jon stuck out his hand and I shook it. "And I'm Deana, people I never met before." They smiled. "2 autographs please", I winked at Jon. "You got it girls I saw for the first time in my life" he looked up while signing the paper. Joe and Colby also signed for us. "You girls want a photo" Colby said. "Why yes we would love one Seth" I went behind them and so did Deana. I rubbed Jon's back a little while we took the picture I felt him shiver a bit. "Thanks guys", Deana and I said at the same time. "No problem. You beautiful girls have fun tomorrow night", Jon said. "Yeah enjoy ladies", Joe announced. "Have fun Chris and Deana", Colby said.

It's Wrestlemania, Deana and I got seats from Jon near the ramp. This is my first Wrestlemania. "This is amazing, I've dreamt of this since I was 5", I told Deana. "I can't say the same, but this is amazing." It officially started and lo and behold The Shield vs. Sheamus, Randy and Big Show. They got into the ring, I saw the guys smiling at us.

The match was epic, when Jon's shirt came off Deana pulled on my arm. "Relax he's mine" I took her hand off my arm. "I could still look right?" she turned her head to ask me. "Yeah, because every other girl in the world is so it doesn't bother me if you do" I stuck my head high. We looked back at the match, "avert your eyes woman" I joked. "No", she looked at me then back.

A few minutes later the match ended the shield won. I swear we were the only two in our section cheering or them I even saw people glare at us. "Dean I love you", I yelled. He must have heard me because he turned and smiled when he saw it was me.

"That was awesome De" I screamed as we walked out into the parking lot where the superstars come through. "I know I'm so hype right now. You going to school in the morning?" "Hell no" walked then saw some superstars come back a lot of other people were waiting. Deana spotted the guys and pointed to where they were. "Let's go", the crowd got smaller as we walked to them. We joined the mix and waited until the fans left the guys. Jon nodded his head signaling us to follow them without giving any hints to the crowd surrounding them. "We have to go everyone" Colby yelled out. "Thanks guys", Joe yelled. "Goodnight everyone" Jon shouted over the screams. We walked in front of them about 4 feet away trying to sneak without showing we were with them. I felt someone slid their arm up my back, "hey watch it" I said. "It's just me", Jon kissed my ear. "You scared me. De why didn't you warn me?" I looked at her. "He told me not to" she laughed. I smiled, "whose friend are you?" "Yours, but it was fun seeing you think it was a pervert" she put her hand over her mouth and giggled. "I forgot to ask. Are you going to school tomorrow?"

"No I don't go to school" Colby said.

"Not you bro, Deana", I whined. Everyone laughed, "No this'll be my senior skip day" she answered. Deana and I are the same age, but since I started school late we weren't in the same grade. "Then it's my junior skip day" I smiled. "Sounds good to me" she shrugged. "Chris you look tired", Joe asked. "I'm not; I just naturally look like this." I smiled and he shook his head smiling. "No seriously I always get asked that in school" I really did. "Why?" Jon asked truly concerned. "My body is always drained for reasons I don't know" I shrugged and felt like I was going to cry, but I held back. "Are you ok?" Jon pressed his lips against my temple. "Yeah don't worry", I said quietly. I always feel tired and drained, but when I dance all the pain and weakness goes away.

We reached the bus where they stay Joe opened the door. We walked inside and talked about the show for an hour. "Shit, Deana we have to go. My dad is going to kill me." I shot up from Jon's lap. "Right, text him and stay you're staying at my house. I'll give you pajamas and blow up the air mattress. My brother wouldn't mind." I grabbed my phone to text my dad. He answered back to tell me to be careful, he wasn't mad which was a relief. "Sorry to cut this night short, but we have an hour ride to Brooklyn" Deana announced as I came back from the other side of the bus. "Ok ladies it was fun" Colby stood up to hug us. "Bye bro" I said into his shirt. We kind of look like we could be related so I call him bro and he calls me sis. "I'm your Spanish big brother" he smiled. "And I am your Italian little sister" I poked his chest and smiled. "Bye girls" It was Joe's turn to hug us; we did a group hug with him. "And you" I pointed and walked towards Jon. "What about me?" he smiled. "See you soon", I pulled him into a hug. "Sorry Cinderella and Prince Charming, but we have to go" Deana pulled my arm. "Bye Jon", I called out as Deana manhandled me out the door. "Rude, I was going to kiss him" I yanked my arm away from her grasp. "You two do enough of that." We walked to my car we sat in silence the whole ride back to her house.

I woke up next to Deana's bed in the air mattress. "De you up?" I reached up to her bed and shook her arm. "I am now." "Sup girl" I stood up. "Sup" she turned around in the bed. "Hello…you're ignoring me…DE" I jumped on top of her. I shouted, "Get up its 12:00." "Ouch get off…I'm up. Weirdo" she got up and put her glasses on. "Breakfast!" De's brother called from down stairs. She lives with her older brother Greg he's been her legal guardian since he was 18. So for about 5 years now. "Ooo food", she said. "You run fast when you hear the word breakfast" I said mostly to myself, because she left. Not only is breakfast the most important meal of the day; its Deana's favorite meal. I walked downstairs and sat at the kitchen table Greg made pancakes. "Hey Chris" he waved. "Hey Greg" I waved back. "I have to get to work so you too be good." He pointed and ran out the door. "I guess he's going to be late", I smiled. "I guess so" Deana put another huge piece of pancake in her mouth. "You're going to choke. Didn't Greg tell you that before?" I laughed. "So?" she said with a mouthful of pancake. "One ear and out the other" I commented and went back to eating. "You want sunny D" she asked after she swallowed. "Yeah, only if it's the one with no pulp." "Who buys the one with pulp?" She said pouring it into glasses. "True", I took another bite. "So. How's school?" she took a swig of her drink. "Good. Just prepping for SAT's in May." "Oh. I remember that. I took it twice." "I'm going to have to do the same. I'm doing May and October since it's held at my school." I drank my sunny D. Deana took our paper dishes and threw them out, "I did the same. What's between you and Jon? You never tell me those things" she sat back down. "Nothing, we're not in a relationship. I don't want one yet maybe after I graduate high school." She nodded, "So basically you two are waiting for each other. And Jon's okay with waiting until you're ready?"

"I'm not sure if he likes it, but he's tolerating it for now."

"So you two aren't dating?" I nodded. "But you guys kiss and hold onto each other when you see each other."

"Basically" I shrugged.

"Well that is not weird" she sat back in her chair.

"I know, but its working. We're keeping things between us like it is until we are ready to commit ourselves into a full blown relationship."

"You mean 'until you are ready to commit yourself into a relationship'" she air quoted. "Pretty much what you said. Jon is ready, but I'm not. He's just going to have to deal with it." I sat back in my chair and folded my arms over my chest.

"That's not fair to him" she said sympathetically.

"He told me he was going to wait for me no matter how hard it gets for him. He's on the road all the time his head revolves around his career not me" I put my hands on the table. "As long as he's cool about it" she put her hands up.

"Why are you frustrated Deana? It's not your life I know what I'm doing" I said sharper than I intended. She hung her head down; her long blonde locks hitting her lap. "Sorry De. I know you think it's crazy, but it's all good" I reached my hand out and she grabbed it tightly. "Okay. I'm pulling for you two, don't lose this and don't him let you lose it either." She let go of my hand. "I pulling for us too" I sighed.
