I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDES THE OC'S.
Matt's Point of View-
I stood in the doorway waving like a dumb ass; I am still holding the pillow that I was using to hit Carol with. Carol was smiling from ear to ear and giggling at whatever John was saying, they climbed into the car, and she lightly waved at me as they pulled out of the driveway heading to wherever John had planned on taking her. I cannot believe that she is actually dating him; much less do I believe he is dating someone like her. I shut the door walking towards the couch tossing the pillow aside, Lucas jumped up onto my lap trying to jump up and lick my face, but I wasn't in the mood, I was too busy thinking about Carol and John. I pulled out my cell phone, 'I know what will get my mind off of this.' I thought dialing Lindsey's number.
"Hey Matty, what's up?" Lindsey asked.
"Nothing, was wondering if you would want to hang out a little before the show?" I asked petting Lucas now.
"Sure, you want to come and pick me up at the Hilton?"
"Be there ASAP." I said slightly pushing Lucas off my lap.
"Okay, love you."
"Love you too." I said hanging up and sliding my phone into my pocket and going to the hook picking up my key set swinging it on my fingers heading towards the door. "Be back later Lucas, behave." I said opening the door and heading out to my car, I drove over to the Hilton, Lindsey was standing outside with her bag for the show. I climbed out and she ran up to me hugging me tightly, I wrapped my arms around her.
"What are we doing today?" Lindsey asked looking up at me with her blue eyes that are like Carol's.
"What do you want to do?"
"Could we check out that animal place?"
"Sure, been there a few times with Jeff, Beth and Shannon." I said as she set her bag into the backseat, I didn't have a match tonight so I didn't need my things. We drove over there, it was fun hanging out with Lindsey and it got my mind off other things.
"I love this place, what's your favorite animal?" Lindsey asked.
"Lion, you?"
"Chimpanzee." Lindsey said as I pulled her closer to my embrace.
"You only like Chimpanzee's because they could fling poop at people and they laugh."
"No, but I wish they would fling poop at Carol."
"I know, it might help her look better." I joked, we went back out to my car driving us over to the arena, I saw John's car in the parking lot along with Jeff's car. We climbed out of the car, Lindsey pulled out her bag from the backseat throwing it over her shoulder.
"It looks as if Jeff is here." Lindsey said.
"Yep." I said grabbing her hand intervening my fingers with hers, we walked through the security to the back, Jeff was chatting with John about something.
"I'm going to go get ready for the search." Lindsey said.
"You do that." I said as she walked towards John and Jeff walking between them.
"Your late, you have twenty minutes." Jeff yelled after her, I walked up to the two men looking at John then I looked over at Jeff. "We are going out tonight to City Limits, you and Lindsey coming?"
"We might, it depends, where is Beth and Carol?" I asked curiously.
"Beth is helping Carol get ready for the show." Jeff said.
"I got to go get ready for my match." John said leaving the two of us.
"You have a match tonight?" Jeff asked.
"Nah, I'm just here to support Lindsey and Carol." I said shoving my hands into my pockets.
"Oh, well, I got to go rehearse my lines, catch you later bro." Jeff said.
Carol's Point of View-
John and I walked into the arena, I stepped aside so if Jeff did plan on tackling me, he would run and fall right by me, but he didn't.
"He didn't tackle you this time." John joked.
"I know, I'm scared that he is hiding behind any corner." I said as John held me tight to his embrace, we sat on a couch near the monitor that was going to show the show later on tonight.
"Aren't you going to go get ready, you have thirty minutes." John said looking at his watch.
"You are trying to get rid of me?"
"No, I just want you to look your best for tonight since it's your last night of the search." John said as he pushed a strand of hair out of my face.
"I will, whenever Jeff and Beth get here, I usually drag Beth to help me." I said as Jeff and Beth walked up to us.
"Hey guys, we have been looking for you guys." Jeff said.
"We're here." I said standing up.
"Do you guys want to go to City Limit's tonight?" Beth asked.
"What's City Limit's?" John asked.
"It's a bar we always go to celebrate." Beth said.
"It's fun." I said.
"It sounds like it is." John said, I looked up at him.
"You want to go?" I asked in hopes he would say yes.
"Sure." John said as Beth squealed in excitement.
"She's more excited than I am." I said.
"Sorry, you need my help to get ready?" Beth asked.
"Yeah, catch you guys later." I said pecking John on the lips and I gave Jeff a light hug, but he squeezed me tightly, he picked me up having my feet leave the ground. "Jeffrey Nero, this is not a contest with your brother about being able to pick me up." I said.
"What?" John asked.
"She lost twenty pounds." Jeff said.
"I thought so." John said.
"You never said anything."
"I didn't want to say it and you get offended about it like you always do."
"I don't get offended, do I?" I asked.
"Yes, when someone tries to give you a compliment you do." Jeff said.
"Just come on, we got work to do." Beth said.
