I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDES THE OC'S.
Adora's Point of View-
I slid into my seat pulling out my food when Zack walked into catering.
"ZACK!" I exclaimed jumping up from my seat going up to him.
"Addie!" Zack said as we hugged each other tightly, "When did you get here?"
"I just flew in yesterday." I said.
"And no one told me?"
"I guess not…." I said as he walked with me back to my seat where he sat in the chair next to me, "What have I missed?"
"Not much….been trying to get my name out there…"
"Don't you all?"
"This is true…"
"Who are you working with now?"
"It depends….the writers are trying to fit me in, have done a few matches here and there…" Zack said.
"At least your getting matches still…"
"That I do…" Zack said stealing some fries.
"You want my other cheeseburger?" I asked offering him my other cheeseburger.
"You don't want it?"
"Nah…I only need one…" I said as he willingly took it this time as he unwrapped it.
"How long you visiting this time?"
"I'm here permanently."
"How is that so? Don't you have school?"
"I graduated and I just got hired by your wardrobe department…"
"You serious?"
"Woo woo woo, you know it!" I said using his own saying back at him, he smiled and chuckled at me.
"Good one….congrats…"
"Thanks….you have a match tonight?" I asked noticing that he was wearing his ring attire and his WWE t-shirt.
"They said I may, it depends on time…"
"What happened to your old ring gear where it was one pant leg and one trunk leg? I thought they were cool." I said.
"Apparently the upper WWE staff didn't….Claudia liked them as well…" Zack said when I saw Alex come into the catering with his food and drink zoning out from what Zack was saying, 'I thought he didn't want to eat in catering,' I thought to myself. "Addie?" Zack asked.
"Are you okay if Alex sits with us?" I asked in hopes he said yes.
"I have no problem with him, he's a great guy…" Zack said.
"Alex!" I exclaimed, Alex looked over at me and I waved for him to come over to sit with us but he quickly looked the other way totally ignoring me. "Alex?" I exclaimed again with a question twist to it, this time he didn't even acknowledge me and acted like he didn't heard anything. "Did I do something?" I asked looking to Zack.
"No…he's probably focused on his match…" Zack said as I was kind of hurt that he totally ignored me, maybe he is mad at me. I turned around seeing him sitting at a different table by himself with his back to me. "He's normally not like that, I promise you…"
"What is he like?" I asked Zack since Maryse and Mike would not lie per say but vouch for him because they have grown accustom to him because they have travelled and worked with him for however long and Zack will tell me how it is because that is the way he is.
"He's a sweet heart, one of the nicest guys I have met in this industry…"
"Really?"
"Yeah, we have hung out a couple times…we are at about the same standing in this company, we understand each other. He is very passionate about this business and very helpful to others…" Zack said.
"Does he often act this way before his match?"
"Who doesn't? When you get matches or a push, you need to focus so you won't fuck up your chance….he does have Mike in his corner to help him but it's definitely not something you don't want to concentrate on…" Zack said as I turned back looking at Alex but something just made me feel like he hates me, he wasn't this focused last night for his match. "Zack out…." Zack said standing up, I stood up with him hugging him tightly before I sat back down not feeling right sitting there in a room with Alex who possibly hates me. I cleaned up my mess grabbing my bag, fry pod and drink taking them with me to a crate that was to the side jumping up on it finishing my fries when Maryse walked by.
"I thought you were in catering." Maryse said.
"I was…"
"What happened?"
"It's nothing…."
"Okay….what do you say tomorrow be a sisters day?" Maryse asked leaning against the crate.
"Okay, that'll be cool."
"That it will be, we can do a spa day then go have lunch…"
"Sounds fun…" I said, Maryse and I loved doing spa day's together because we were able to get away from Mike for a day and spend quality sister time together.
"Great…would you mind if Mike and I go on a date tomorrow night after the show?" Maryse asked.
"You don't have to ask me…I'm not your keepers…"
"I don't want to leave you alone in the room all night…"
"You guys won't be gone all night…plus I'm old enough to be by myself Maryse."
"I know…you sure you'll be fine?"
"Yeah, I am used to you two dating and you two need your alone time too…" I said smiling because I loved my sister and Mike, they were adorable tonight.
"Okay, thanks….I have a match tonight against Kelly, you going to watch?"
"When don't I?"
"Never…" Maryse said as she smiled before she walked away to get ready for her match. I finished my fries and drink, I jumped off the crate going to the nearest trash can throwing away my stuff then went back to the crate.
"What are you doing?" Mike asked before I almost jumped onto the crate.
"I'm going to sit on the crate."
"Who do you think you are? Me?" Mike asked.
"No…I'm nothing like you…" I said jumping onto the crate and he jumped up beside me.
"Have you seen Alex?"
"I'm not his keeper." I said getting kind of upset yet pissed with the way Alex just treated me because I had no idea why he was mad at me.
"True…"
"But, I saw him in catering like a half hour ago…" I said honestly.
"Thanks….I downloaded a new app."
"Okay?" I asked not knowing what to say.
"It's called angry birds, it's a game…there is a WWE version and I think you'll like that…" Mike said pulling out his phone going to the WWE angry birds showing me how to play, we took turns playing trying to out do each others score. "I got to go, I have a match…" Mike said as he jumped off the crate.
"Your phone…" I said handing it back to him.
"Hold on to it for me, I have no where to put it…" Mike said as I noticed he was in his ring gear, and he couldn't take it to the ring with him. I continued playing the game on Mike's phone until I felt someone standing in front of me. I looked up seeing Zack standing in front of me with his flip phone facing me with a red light symbolizing that he was recording.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Recording for my new webisode."
"Do you always record random people?" I asked curiously.
"Only the ones that I feel is broski worthy."
"No one watching this will know who I am because neither of us introduced me."
"They will after this."
"How can they until one of us says my name." I said.
"I will do it now..." Zack said as he set the camera aside as he climbed up onto the crate beside me picking the camera up yet again turning it around to face both of us, we both tried to squeeze into the frame, "My broski's this is Addie, WWE's newest wardrobe staff…she is going to be designing my ring gear and future merchandise…she will make me look as good as I look now…" Zack said.
"It's Adora…"
"Addie…so hit her up if you want an in…"
"Hit me up? I don't have any connections much less will they be able to get a hold of me…"
"Stop being like Maryse."
"I'm not like Maryse…" I said.
"Maryse is her sister….don't they act alike?"
"Shut up…" I said shoving him a tad.
"We are leaving now, your not cool anymore now that you shoved me…" Zack said.
"Good, I'm going back to my game." I said as he got off heading the way he came, I played a couple more rounds of the game when I got up heading to the monitor that was mounted and was playing the live feed of the show in the one room watching Mike and Alex finish their tag team match. I couldn't help myself but to admit that Alex had talent, he had the strength that was for sure with the muscles he had, he was a perfect add to Mike because they both complimented each others personality and in ring skills, and I just kept asking myself what I did to make Alex mad at me trying not to get too worried about it when Mike let Alex get the pin, the tech people played 'I Came To Play' through the arena as Mike and Alex celebrated their victory when I felt someone step up beside me.
"If I be damned…" A familiar voice said, I turned seeing Hunter standing beside me in a tux.
"Your looking good Hunter in your tux and all." I said smiling, Hunter and Shawn were like brothers and sort of like fathers to me. Often times, I would go on tour with Maryse and spent numerous hours in catering with Hunter and Shawn where they will be helping me with homework, due to the age gap between Maryse and I, I was in my senior year in my high school when she got hired on to WWE so I tried my best to go with her whenever I could because let's be honest, this is an awesome opportunity and everyone here is like a family.
"Thanks Addie, on break from school?" Hunter asked.
"Not this time….graduated couple weeks ago….here to stay…"
"Ever think I can get you in that ring? It will be great to have another sister team other than the Bella Twins." Hunter said.
"I still don't think so Hunter….I won't mind learning but wrestling isn't my thing…"
"How long you staying on tour with us?"
"In definitely, I'm hired by your company in a different department other than talent…." I said sheepishly.
"Really?" Hunter asked looking at me.
"Yep, I got hired on last night by Claudia doing ring attire and the wardrobe things."
"That's great…now I'm paying you to be here, jeez…." Hunter said wiping at his brow jokingly.
"I won't be bugging you as much as I did before with my work…" I said as Maryse's music was played.
"You sure you don't want to do that?"
"Not really….don't want to steal my sisters spot light, plus I love what I am doing with my life…why are you watching the diva's match?"
"Got to keep an eye on my girls…"
"Do you watch all their matches or just Maryse's?"
"I watch all of their matches, I just keep a closer eye on Maryse's, she is one of my go-to girls."
"Does that mean she may get a belt here soon?"
"Maybe…but bigger and better things are coming her way…." Hunter said as I smiled and he smiled as well, we watched the match together as we talked about each move and how it was executed well or not so well. "You should be proud of your sister….she's very talented…" Hunter said as her music played in her victory over Kelly.
"I have and always will be proud of her…." I said.
"Good, as you should…." Hunter said.
"I am going to go greet her at the gorilla position, you want to come?"
"Nah…tell her I said good match though…." Hunter said smiling.
"Will do…nice seeing you again Hunter…." I said heading down the hall when I stopped turning around to face the back of him, I walked back to him, "Hunter…"
"Yeah?"
"What happened to Shawn?"
"He retired sweetie…sorry…."
"You talk to him often?" I asked, it broke my heart that Shawn retired because he was amazing in general and I didn't get to say bye nor thank you.
"Yep, we are still best buds…"
"Tell him I miss and love him, and thanks for everything…." I said.
"I will Addie." Hunter said smiling as I smiled back before heading to the gorilla position seeing my sister walking down the stairs from the curtain.
"Did you watch?" Maryse asked all sweaty.
"Yeah, I watched it with Hunter…he says good job."
"Hunter was watching?"
"Yeah…why?"
"I'm so nervous when I know him or a McMahan is watching, afraid that I will mess something up."
"You did great…"
"Your supposed to say that, you're my sister." Maryse said as we went into the locker room where she went straight to her locker.
"Hunter said nothing but positive things about you."
"Really?" Maryse asked.
"Yes….he said better and bigger things are in your future…."
"Like a belt?"
"Maybe…." I said shrugging as I sat down on the bench looking into my bag finding nothing really interesting to do as Maryse went to shower to get the sweat off and change into a new pair of clothes.
"Let me call Mike…" Maryse said reaching for her phone.
"I have his phone, he loaned it to me to play his WWE angry birds." I said.
"Then I'll call Alex." Maryse said as she pushed a button putting it up to her ear as she was organizing things with her other hand. "Hey Alex, you and Mike ready?...yeah, she's right here…we'll meet you there…." Maryse said as she hung up putting her phone in her pocket as she grabbed her things, I pulled my bag on my back opening the door for her before I walked out and shut the door following Maryse to wherever we needed to meet them.
"My phone?" Mike asked sticking his hand out.
"My phone…" I said waiting for that one word.
"Now." Mike said as I rolled my eyes handing it to him, I was trying not to make any contact with Alex as he led us to the car where I immediately climbed into the car getting situated before he climbed into the car, even then I watched him buckle up and nothing. "We have everything right?" Mike asked.
"Yes sir." I said as I looked out my window as Mike started the car heading to the next city, who knows how long this drive was, but apparently it was long enough for me to fall asleep without even remembering.
