Here's another chapter of What You're Worth.
Thanks to the wonderful reviewers and readers.
I own Garrett, Rosalyn, Bailey, Eric and Amber.
Let me know what you think of the story...
Garrett awoke early, so he decided to go to the gym for some extra training. He was glad that the gym was almost empty, as he needed some time to think. He was doing some weights when he recognised the song playing in the background. Strangely enough, he recognised it because it was one of Rosalyn's favourites. She was a very varied person, so it wasn't unlike her to listen to all kinds of music. That was one of the things that Garrett loved about her. It riled him to see her conforming to attract a leech like Tommy. She was a million times better than that idiot.
The young man sighed as he realised he couldn't escape the thought of Rosalyn. He remembered that he had agreed to a date with Amber that evening. She seemed like a nice enough girl, but she wasn't Rosalyn. Amber was very talkative and looked like she spent a lot of time on her appearance. The shiny hair and the neatly painted nails told him that much, not to mention the fact that she wore a bra about three sizes too small for her heaving bust.
Rosalyn was so beautiful anyway, that she didn't need any assistance. Her blonde waves were so soft and her skin was clear and smooth under his fingertips. The blonde looked beautiful in the morning, with her tired aqua eyes. She could wear a baggy t-shirt or a designer gown and still look just as pretty. Garrett liked the way her eyes sparkled when she smiled or laughed. That was how he always saw his Rosalyn.
That evening, he showered and dressed for his date. He wore some black dress pants and a blue button down shirt that matched his eye colour. Once he was ready, he went off to pick up Amber from where she was staying. His eyes widened as she walked out of the door. The wannabe diva wore a tight beige mini dress with silver heels. She had pinned her hair up on the top of her head with a silver clip. Garrett greeted her politely.
"You look nice." He told her.
"Thanks, so do you." Amber smiled.
"I thought we could go get some dinner." Garrett told her.
"Sounds good." She nodded.
Garrett nodded and opened the car door for her.
I know what's for dessert." She smirked as Garrett walked around to the driver's side.
"Ready?" he asked her.
"Yeah." She nodded and smiled.
Back in Florida, the DiBiase family had been having dinner. Afterwards, Rosalyn had excused herself and went up to her bedroom. She lay on her bed and felt her eyes struggling to stay open. No wonder she was tired, as she hadn't slept the past few nights. She couldn't blame Garrett when it was her who told him to go to OVW in the first place. After a few minutes, the blonde fell into a peaceful sleep. Once again, she dreamt of Garrett.
It was dark outside her window when she awoke again. The most recent dream was of Garrett running across the beach to get to her, yet never actually reaching her. The blonde sat up and stretched. There was a strange atmosphere about her, as if something was wrong. There was a quiet murmur of the TV downstairs, meaning that someone was still awake in the house. Rosalyn frowned as something caught her eye…
Ted and Bailey were cuddling on the couch downstairs. Ted nuzzled his wife's neck as she stroked his hair with one hand. They weren't that interested in what was on the TV, but it was nice to spend some time together. Ted still loved Bailey after all this time, while she had probably grown to love him more as the years went on. Bailey rested her head on her husband's shoulder and sighed a little. He smiled and kissed her head softly. The calm was soon shattered, with a piercing scream from their daughter's room.
"Rosalyn!" Bailey gasped and ran up the stairs.
"We're coming!" Ted shouted, taking the stairs two at a time.
"Mom, dad!" she screamed.
Bailey switched on the bedroom light and almost fell backwards into Ted's arms. Their daughter was sitting on the bed, in a patch of her own blood. Ted immediately ran downstairs to start the car. She needed to get to the hospital right now. His wife hugged her daughter to her chest and tried to help her up to move her down to the car.
"I'm losing the baby!" Rosalyn sobbed.
"What's all the noise about?" Eric asked as he walked into the room.
The minute he registered the scene, he rushed over to help his mother to carry his sister down the stairs. Ted was waiting at the bottom of the stairs. He picked his daughter up bridal style and hurried her to the car. Bailey and Eric jumped into the car with him as they sped off to the hospital.
Garrett was taking Amber home after their dinner date.
"I had a great night." Amber smiled.
"Me too." He nodded.
"It doesn't have to end." The brunette winked.
"I'm not sure about that…" Garrett frowned.
"Don't you like me?" Amber pouted a little.
"I do like you." He assured her.
"Come in then, for a drink." She said.
"Ok, if it will shut you up!" he rolled his eyes.
"That's more like it." The brunette grinned.
Garrett didn't know why he did it, but he leaned in and kissed her. Well, it was mainly to shut her up for ten seconds, but she took it to mean more. Before he knew what was happening, the young man was half naked on a bed with the brunette. Amber was making all the moves now. She pinned him down and forced her mouth against his. He heard the ringing of his cell phone in the background.
"I need to get that." He said as he tried to sit up.
"Ignore it." Amber replied as she pinned him back down again.
Garrett knew it was wrong right then. This was a mistake, and he had to stop before it went any further. Rosalyn was the only one for him, whether they were together or apart. No other person in the world moved him the way Rosalyn did. They were like two halves that made a whole. OVW didn't matter next to her. He sat up and firmly pushed the brunette away from him.
"What now?" she asked, visibly annoyed.
"I can't do this. I'm sorry." He said, grabbing his things and leaving.
"I thought you liked me?" she shrugged after him.
Once he was outside, Garrett took out his cell phone and dialled the missed number. It was his dad's number. Probably asking how things were going at OVW, thought Garrett. He was surprised to hear his father sound panicked.
"Dad?" he asked.
"I've been trying to call you!" Cody said.
"What's up?" Garrett asked.
"It's Rosalyn, she's been rushed into the hospital." Cody replied.
"Is the baby ok?" the young Runnels asked.
"Garrett, they think she might have miscarried. She's in with the doctor now." Cody choked on tears.
"I'll be there as soon as I can." Garrett told his father.
