Noelle was released the next day, and everyone was starting to get over some of the shock of the pregnancy. Well almost everyone. Bob, and Jenna were still a little upset and disappointed but knew she was eighteen and was letting her make her own decision about it.All Noelle wanted to do was talk to John about the whole situation but she hadn't heard from him yet. Noelle was settled in her hotel room starting at the wall when she subconsicously put her hand up to her stomach. In nine months she was going to be a mother, and she had no clue what she was doing. To her she hadn't had the best rolemodel to learn from until recently, and she was starting to think she wouldn't be able to do this at all. She grabbed her bag careful of her ribs and shoulder and headed down to the lobby where Trish, and Chris Masters were sitting waiting for Amy so they could head to the arena.
"Look there's Noie." Trish said as Chris turned to look. "Noie!"
Noelle walked over to them " Have you seen John? He's not in his room."
"He might be at the arena."
"Can I get a ride with you?"
"Are you sure you don't just want to stay here and rest a little. The doctor said..."
"I know what the doctor said but I really need to talk to John."
Trish nodded and after Amy joined them they all headed to the arena. Noelle walked around back stage but couldn't find him anywhere. Finally Rey told her to check the gym. When she got there he was there with Dave, Hunter, Mark, Jeff, and Kane. She also saw her brother with Matt, Adam, and Ric.
She walked through the doors and over to where John was sitting.
"Why wont you talk to me?" She asked without even giving him time to register she was there.
"Noelle I think you need to..."
"Go rest. That seems to be everybody's fix to this whole situation."
"Look I know your upset because I haven't seen you yet , but..."
"But? there's a but? I just got the most..world altering news yesterday, and the person who is suppose to be there for me is ignoring me. I need to talk to you about this!"
Everyone was starting to look at the scene going on, and Randy was getting pissed that John wasn't even trying to talk to Noelle.
"Look Noie I know your going through a hard time, but tihs is hard for me to."
"Hard for you? Well I wouldn't know because your ignoring me."
"I just need time."
"Well you know what so do I, but I don't get that option.You said we could get through anything together, and that you loved me, and then at the first ...shock we get together you freak, and disappear. I'm sorry this is so hard for you. I understand you need time, but I'm the one going through this alone right now, so take all the time you need, but I''m not gonna wait forever."
"That's not fair! You need to give me time to adjust."
"Why? I don't get time. I have a person growing inside me, and the one who helpped with that wont help me through it, but I need to help you by giving you time! That's not fair."
Noelle walked out of the gym, and John just looked at everyone staring at him before he walked out too. He was so confused and had no clue what to do.
Randy shook his head. "I can't believe this."
Adam turned his attention to Randy. "You need to let them sort this out. I know you. Your sister and best friend need all the support they can get."
"My only support is going to my sister. I'm to pissed off at John right now."
Adam just shrugged his shoulders.
Noelle headed to the ladies restroom and splashed water on her face, she was starting to feel nausea. She waited till her stomach settled a bit before she headed to see Vince. She needed someone who wouldn't trest her like a victim, and really give her some advice.
She knocked on Vince's office door, and waited to be let in.
"Come in!"
She walked in, and saw Linda there too.
"I need to talk to someone and you said I could always talk to you Mr.Mcmahon. I need an alternate listener who won't treat me like... a kid."
"Sit down dear."
Noelle sat down, and got right to the point.
"I recieved the most mind blowing news yesterday, and the one person who suppose to go through this with me is out of the picture, and that's fine. I'm use to handleing things myself. I need to take responsability for myself now, and this child. Not Bob, not Jenna, me."
"I can offer you a full time job, and help you out with finding a place to live. Is that what you were asking in a round about way?"
Noelle nodded. "I wanna go back home and finish school while I'm pregnant and then I need to stay home for my child. I'm not going to turn into my mom."
It finally clicked to Linda and she kneeled down infront of Noelle "Is that what your worried about?"
Noelle nodded as tears slid down her face. "It's already happening. I got pregnant at a young age, and the guy split. Just like my mom. I refuse to finish turning into her! I wanna be there for this baby, and raise it on my own. Not have my Dad and Jenna raise it."
Linda looked at Vince. Vince understood where she was coming from.
"We'll send you home today. You ffind a place and we'll give you a loan to get on your feet. We'll take it out of your pay every week. You go to school during the day, and work for me through the internet and phone. Your weekly salary willl be 1500.00 and you'll have full benefits. Anytime we need you to come in person you can bring the baby, and I'm sure everyone around here will help if needed."
"I don't want everyone to help. I'll be fine." Noelle stood up and smiled a weak smile at best. "Thank you Mr.Mcmahon. I appreciate this and I wont let you down."
"Your part of the family. Any thing you need just let us know."
"Thanks again."
Linda gave Noelle a hug and then went back to help her pack so she could go home. Since Jenna left last night because she had to be back at the house so the contractors could start the remodeling bob, and Jenna had planed Noelle called her as soon as she got to the hotel and told her what was going on. After getting everything packed Linda took Noelle back to the arena to say goodbye to Randy and some of the others. Randy was in catering with pretty much everybody when Noelle came in.
"Hey sis, how are you feeling?"
He pulled out a chair for ehr but she didn't sit.
"I just wanna say bye. I'm going home to work things out for myself. I'll be visiting from time to time."
"Your leaving?"
"I need to. I have a lot to work out, and I can't be traveling right now. Linda is driving me to the bus stop now and jenna's waiting for me back home."
She saw her brothers face, and saw him look at John who was sitting by himself watching her.
"Don't blame him. I wanna do this on my own. If he can't help me through this then I don't want him to pretend to be in the baby's life. I just came to that conclusion about a hour ago. I'll be fine, I am fine. I can do this."
Randy didn't want his sister to leave.
"You can't let him get off scott free. This is his responsability too."
"I'm not gonna force him in our lives. He can make his own decisions and so can I. I already have." She gave her brother a hug, and kiss on the cheek as well as some others and then left to go home.
Randy gave John an evil look afterr Noelle left saying goodbye to pretty much everyone.
"She made your decision for you so just leave her alone from here on out! Here me!"
John just walked out of catering. How could he have screwed up so much in the last 24 hours, and now had noway to redeam himself.
Noelle sat on the bus as it started heading to Texas.
"It's just you and me now." She whispered as rubbed her hand over her belly." We're all each other needs." She looked out the window and got ready for the long trip home. She made a silent pack to herself right there that she was gonna do everything possible to not be the mother her mom was to her, and she was sure with Jenna around she could do it.
