I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDES THE OC'S.
Carol's Point of View-
"Massachusetts is your home state, interesting." I said as we walked out the door we walked in earlier.
"Yeah, love it here, it's my stomping grounds." John said.
"My question for you is how can you do everything? I mean, you got your music career with Trademarc, then you got wrestling, then your acting with the Marine and 12 Rounds, appearances on the Kids Choice awards, Jay Leno and what not, how were and are you able to do that much?" I asked as he opened the passenger door for me, I climbed in and he shut the door when I got in, he walked around and climbed in himself.
"All I got to say is a lot of flights, energy drinks and barely any sleep."
"What's your favorite energy drink?" I asked buckling my seat belt.
"Monsters and red bull."
"I love vault and I want to try the venom one."
"Aw, do you do coffee?" John asked as the security helped us pull out.
"Not coffee per say, but I love the Starbucks frappuccino's and cappuccino's."
"I don't do coffee very often myself." John said as he got us back to the hotel safely.
"Thanks for the ride." I said as he parked the car, we climbed out of the car.
"Well, thank you for letting me get a drink with you." John said as he slammed his door shut.
"How were you a special judge tonight if you won't have any pull in the contest?" I asked as I walked around the car meeting him on his side.
"It helps me vote."
"Isn't that unfair for the stars to vote?"
"No, the superstars vote on ballots before Raw." John said.
"But, that's not cool because shouldn't only the fans vote?"
"The stars get to vote too on who they like most."
"SO un-cool." I said as we walked into the hotel.
"Why is it un-cool?"
"I don't like hanging with the stars, I usually try to tend to myself."
"Then why do you hang with those Hardy Boys?"
"I accidentally bumped into Beth and we became instant friends, and we just clicked." I said as we walked into the bar area, we sat at a table for two instead of at the bar itself. "Why did you take the offer of doing the judging on tonight's Diva search if you could have done it next Monday?" I asked as I looked through the beer menu they had on the table.
"Because Raw wasn't in Massachusetts."
"So, you go to every show in Massachusetts?"
"Wouldn't you want to do every show in……, um, where are you from?"
"North Carolina, but I wouldn't want to do more shows just because it was in my home town, if I was doing Raw and Raw was there, I'll do it."
"Truth of the matter is, I miss my family and try to do it as many times as I can." John said.
"Family man." I said impressed.
"Very much so, what about you?"
"I kind of lost my family, my mom abandoned my sister and I when I was ten, my dad disowns me for wrestling." I said as a waitress took our drink orders.
"What about your sister?"
"Don't want to talk about it." I said trying not to bring up my sister.
"Okay, so how do you like being on television or the WWE lifestyle?"
"What do you mean?"
"Some people hate it and others love it."
"What about you?" I asked leaning on my arms on the table.
"I like it, but I defiantly don't love it nor do I hate it."
"In between."
"Yeah, it has its pluses and its minuses."
"I haven't been doing it long enough to tell if I like it or not, but I defiantly hate dealing with the planes and airports, but I love hanging with my friends and the work schedule." I said as the waitress came and set our drinks down.
"How many friends have you already made?"
"Including you, well that would be.…" I said trying to count in my head, "Eight." I said recounting again.
"Eight including me, not nine?"
"How are you getting nine?"
"Me, Matt, Jeff, Beth, and I'm assuming Gregory, Shannon, Talia, and Julie are your friends considering their Matt, Jeff and Beth's friends, then that other Diva search contestant, isn't her name like Lindsey or something?"
"Lindsey and I are NOT friends." I said emphasizing not.
"Oh, so eight." John said.
"What about your friends?"
"Most of them aren't here."
"Oh, I thought I was cramping your style or something." I said twirling the straw in my drink.
"Never." John said which got me smiling; I was brought out of my thinking and smiling trance by Matt standing at our table.
"Is it cool if we join you guys?" Matt asked, I looked up to see him, Lindsey, Beth and Jeff, I just gave Beth this dirty look, and she shrugged her shoulders.
"I don't mind." John said, they each pulled up a chair and I made sure Beth sat next to me.
"Would you excuse us for a moment, we have to use the little girls' room." I said as I stood up pushing Beth back before she could even sit down, we went to the restroom. "What are you guys doing here?" I asked as we walked into the bathroom.
"One, it's not a date and two Matt insisted on coming." Beth said.
"You could have talked him out of it."
"No, I couldn't of, Matt is really stubborn."
"You could have kept him busy for a little while longer."
"How?"
"I don't know, tripping him or something."
"Too late now." Beth said.
"It's fine right? I mean, I'm sure that it's nothing."
"Right." Beth said, we walked out to our table and John was no where to be found.
"Where's John?" I asked.
"He left; he wanted us to give you this." Jeff said handing me a napkin with writing on it, 'Carol, had to go, sorry, here is my number, give me a call. -John.' I slid the napkin in my pocket and walked out of the bar and went up to my room calling John, I got his voicemail.
"Hey John, I'm sorry about tonight, my friends are jerks. I don't know what they did or said while I was gone, but I'm truly am sorry, I hope we could be friends still." I said hanging up, I sat on my bed Indian style just staring at the wall across from me thinking about everything that came to mind, a knock came to my door and I went and answered it. "Jeff, what do you want?" I asked opening it.
"I want to talk to you."
"Okay, come in." I said stepping aside and opening the door further for him to come in, he ran in and jumped onto my bed. "What you want to talk about?" I asked.
"Tomorrow's photo shoot."
"What about it?" I asked shutting the door and walking and sat down next to him.
"I don't know, Beth sent me up here to talk to you."
"Tell Beth I'm okay."
"Are you sure? I mean, you did kind of storm off."
"Yes, I'm fine, I'm tired and we have a photo shoot tomorrow and I don't need bags under my eyes for it." I said.
"Okay, well, good night then." Jeff said standing up and headed to the door.
"Night Jeff." I said following him.
"Do I get a kiss?" He said pouting out his lips
"I'll let Beth do that."
"On the cheek?"
"Okay, on the cheek." I said rolling my eyes, I kissed his cheek.
"Thanks, see you in the morning."
"Your welcome, don't get too drunk."
"I won't." Jeff said as I watched him walk down the hallway to the elevators, I walked back in and shut the door behind me. I went and climbed back into my bed, I just looked at my phone's clock until I fell asleep.
