For the next half hour Ashley laid on her bed in the hotel room after she had the altercation with Eve. She kept thinking and thinking about how she wouldn't be able to cope here without having a friend, or being able to talk to someone. The longer she was there, the more suppressed emotions she would have and she knew it wasn't good for her. Ashley got up and put a pair of shorts and a t-shirt on and walked out of her hotel room. She looked around and walked up and down the corridor before she finally stopped and just knocked on a random hotel room door.
"Hi, sorry but do you know where i can find Layla?" Ashley asked looking up at the guy that opened the door.
"Yeah she's down the hall, just there" Kevin said pointing to a room not far from where they were standing.
"Aw, alright thanks a lot" Ashley smiled shyly.
"You're Ashley right?" Kevin asked just as Ashley turned away from him and walked off. Kevin watched Ashley walk away and he sighed to himself. He couldn't help but be intrigued by her. He wasn't sure if it was the mystery that came with her or what it was, but he wanted to find out more about her.
Ashley walked off and found herself standing in front of Layla's hotel room. She wasn't sure what she was doing there, but she just remembered Layla's words that she could come to her if she needed to, so Ashley just thought she'd give it a try as she had nothing left to lose. Ashley took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
"Ashley?" Layla asked in her English accent. Layla stood there in her pajamas and Ashley peered into her room to see a younger girl standing against a couch.
"I'm so sorry, i'll leave" Ashley said turning away before she felt Layla put her hand on her shoulder to stop her.
"Stop it. Come in... Please" Layla smiled kindly and Ashley followed her in and took a seat on a chair.
"Is everything alright?" Layla asked looking at an obviously upset Ashley.
"Not really. I'm sorry that i came it's just... I remembered you telling me the other day that if i wanted to talk i could come to you" Ashley explained.
"I meant that, so I'm happy you did. Do you want to tell me what's the matter?" Layla asked trying to comfort Ashley.
"Whose that?" Ashley asked looking over at the girl.
"That's my sister, Stephanie" Layla explained.
"Oh, okay. I can go if you like?" Ashley offered.
"No, stay. Tell me what's wrong?" Layla demanded. Ashley looked at her and sighed. She didn't want to have to go into the whole story.
"This is a long story so... Long story short. My sister was seeing my boyfriend behind my back" Ashley said. Layla just looked at her, her eyes widening in shock.
"Oh Ashley, I'm so sorry!" Layla sighed.
"It's Eve" Ashley mumbled.
"It's Eve who?" Layla asked.
"It's Eve... Eve Torres is my sister" Ashley cried, it all getting to her.
"Oh my gosh" Layla exclaimed in shock. She wasn't expecting that at all. "Is that why you've been crying all the time? Did you just find out?" Layla asked.
"No. It all happened a few years ago. I just haven't spoken to her since, and seeing her and Ted, it's just... It's too much" Ashley said.
"Ohhhhhh... Ted was your boyfriend and.. and..." Layla began to say before she understood everything. "I'm so sorry Ashley" Layla said comforting her.
"It's not your fault. I just really need someone here who i can speak to" Ashley nodded.
"Well you've definitely got me" Layla smiled.
"Okay well I'm gonna go. Thanks" Ashley said rushing out of the hotel room.
"Poor girl" Layla said looking over at her sister who looked really surprised at everything she had just heard.
Ashley was in the make up room setting up the next day for a house show when she heard someone clearing their voice behind her.
"Ashley?" Vince Mcmahon asked standing there with Stephanie.
"Oh, hello" Ashley exclaimed politely.
"Ashley, this is Stephanie. She's the new hair stylist we've recruited, and she's also Layla's sister" Vince explained. Ashley looked over and smiled, she remembered her when she saw Layla.
"Hi Stephanie" Ashley said kindly.
"She's going to be working with you. Well not with you but alongside you as you two will now be sharing a room. Half make up and half hair" Vince giggled and the two joined in. "Okay so i'm going to leave Stephanie here with you so she can set up. Have fun" Vince said leaving the room.
"Sorry that you now have to share a room with me" Stephanie said shyly. She wasn't sure how to act towards Ashley as the last time she saw her Ashley had a small breakdown in front of her.
"Oh no it's fine, honestly" Ashley said.
"I'm sorry about everything by the way" Stephanie said picking up her bag and placing it on the bench.
"No need to be sorry, but thanks" Ashley smiled. Stephanie seemed to be nice.
"I'm here if you need to talk too. I know you don't really know me or anything but were going to be working together now so..." Stephanie shrugged.
"Thanks i really appreciate it" Ashley exclaimed. "So you know anyone here besides Layla?" Ashley asked rummaging through the make up.
"Well i've only been here once before when i travelled with my sister for a week. So, i've met them but that's about it" Stephanie explained.
"Oh not you again" Kelly Kelly said walking into the make up room and rolling her eyes at the sight of Ashley.
"What's her problem?" Stephanie asked looking over at Ashley who didn't say anything and just stood there. She was in no mood to get into an altercation with anyone.
"She's a rude bitch is what's her problem" Kelly Kelly answered for Ashley.
"Get out" Stephanie demanded looking at Kelly Kelly.
"What?" Kelly Kelly asked looking confused.
"I said get out, or do you have a hearing problem" Stephanie said watching her storm out of the room.
"Thanks so much" Ashley said thanking Stephanie. She thought it was really sweet of her to do that.
"It's fine. I've had to deal with my fair share of rude people, so i know how to handle them" Stephanie laughed.
"Hey Lay" Kevin said walking into Layla's hotel room with Mike Mizanin.
"What's up?" Layla asked, she wasn't expecting to see either of them as she was sitting and talking to her sister Stephanie. The guys said hi but wanted to get straight to the point with Layla.
"Ashley came knocking on my door looking for you the other night. What was up with that?" Kevin asked.
"Aw, she just wanted to talk" Layla said. She didn't want to go into anything.
"Aha... about what?" Mike asked. Kevin told him about Ashley and him and Kevin were close so if Kevin was interested in her, so was Mike.
"Nothing" Layla said turning away from the two of them.
"Layla tell us now. You know what's wrong with her don't you?" Kevin asked noticing the way Layla was acting.
"Maybe i do. Kevin I promised the girl though that i wouldn't tell anyone" Layla said.
"So she did tell you?" Mike asked trying to confirm what he and Kevin thought.
"Yes she did, but i'm not telling you anything" Layla said sternly. She promised Ashley she wouldn't tell anyone so she wasn't going to.
"Oh please tell me, Lay" Kevin pleaded with her.
"I'm just gonna go for a walk" Stephanie said getting up quickly and rushing out of the hotel room.
"I'm not telling you, so you can plead and cry whatever you want. My lips are sealed guys" Layla smiled and the guys just sighed.
Ashley was sitting in her hotel room eating dinner when she heard a knock on the door so she made her way up to check who it was.
"Hey Steph" Ashley said opening the door to see Stephanie standing there.
"I'm not sure whether or not i should be telling you this or if it's even a big deal, but Kevin and Mike are over at my sisters room now trying to get out of her why you were upset and stuff" Stephanie explained. Ashley just looked at her really confused.
"Wait, come in" Ashley said moving over so Stephanie could come and so they wouldn't have to talk in the hallway. "Who are Kevin and Mike" Ashley asked. She hadn't met either of them and since she didn't talk to anyone really she hadn't heard of them.
"Awh, well they're these guys. I'll show you them after but, they seemed pretty interested in you, especially Kevin" Stephanie explained, not sure whether she should. Ashley didn't know what to think. She wasn't sure why two guys were trying to find out about her, but she just thought that whatever their agenda was, it couldn't of been good. As Ashley was about to reply there was a knock on the door again so Ashley went to open it.
"Hey" Ted sighed as she opened the door. He was standing there looking nervous. Ashley began to shut the door but Ted put his hand in the middle to stop her from doing so.
"What do you want? If your here to tell me the same shit Eve told me, you can leave now and save yourself a few precious minutes of your life" Ashley said sternly.
"Ash, you can't ignore the fact that you're here with us. You can't just pretend like we don't exist" Ted explained. Steph just stood in the room and watched on, not knowing what to do really.
"Well, actually i can. I've been doing a good job of it lately so..." Ashley sighed. She wanted him to leave her sight.
"It's not good for you. We're worried about you" Ted said.
"Now your worried about me? NOW?" Ashley exclaimed, tears building up in her eyes. She couldn't help but want to start crying hysterically, but she held it back.
"It's been years now since everything happened. How can you still be so upset" Ted said shaking his head. He thought that Ashley should of been over it by now, but clearly she wasn't.
"Wow... FUCK YOU TED" Ashley exclaimed pushing Ted's hand away from the doorway and slamming the door. Steph stood there for a few seconds and then rushed out of the room quickly, much to Ashley's surprise as she didn't understand where she was running off to.
"Ted, WAIT!" Steph shouted out walking quickly to catch up to Ted who stopped in the middle of the hallway.
"Who are you and what do you want?" Ted said. He was in a bad mood now.
"Leave Ashley alone, okay? She's finding it hard enough to cope without having you come to her door" Steph explained, realizing she probably shouldn't of butted in and then ran back to her hotel room, not wanting to speak to Ted any further.
Ted just groaned and began to walk back to his hotel room.
"What was all that about? Kevin asked looking at Mike. Little did any of them know, Kevin and Mike had heard everything between Ashley, Steph and Ted as they left Layla's room a minute after Steph did. They heard some comotion and hid around the corner hallway to hear what was going on.
