To Be Torn Between Two

Chapter 26: Jerk Alert

Chapter 26: Jerk Alert

RAW

"I can't believe she hung up on me!" Layla screamed in frustration whilst Eve laughed at her. "Don't you dare laugh at me! Why didn't you tell me you two had made up?"

"Was too busy worrying about Phil I guess. I mean, the guy was in a life threatening accident..."

"Ok forgiven, but you know how much I hate being kept out of the loop. You should have told me!"

"I know, I know. I just..." Eve sighed and Layla couldn't help but frown in concern at her. She hadn't really spoken to Eve ever since Kelly had had a fallout with her. The only one the brunette Diva could turn to was CM Punk and he had been recovering from his accident for the last couple of months.

"Eve, is everything alright? I know your life hasn't exactly been pleasant as of late but I want you to know that you can talk to me about anything that's bothering you." Layla shot her friend a comforting smile whilst Eve averted her gaze to the ground.

"I'm worried about Phil, Layla. He told me he hasn't been sleeping well and that he's in pain...and he refuses to take any pills because he doesn't want to jeopardize his beliefs. I'm worried about him. I hear him get up in the middle of the night and he just mutters to himself."

"That doesn't sound like Phil to me. He normally doesn't complain about pain at all. He had a pretty bad concussion, maybe he's starting to remember what happened?"

"He has been complaining of headaches and he says he keeps having this dream. I'm quite worried. Do you think he's starting to remember more than just the accident? The doctor did say he had lost some of his prior memories and that it would take awhile to get them back."

"Really? Well just give him time and if he doesn't get better, go and see a doctor. So when are you going to talk to Randy?" Layla asked whilst Eve tensed up a little bit. "I mean, you never thanked him for saving Phil's life. I know he has treated both you and Kelly like crap in the past but the least you could do is actually thank the guy for saving your boyfriend's life."

"I know, I just don't want to talk to him for awhile..." Eve muttered, averting her gaze to the ground once again.

"Why? He was the jerk-"

"I know he was the jerk Layla but I failed to admit it and decided to blame my best friend instead. I am so mad at Randy for hurting Kelly and I. I don't think a conversation with him right now would be a smart thing to do because I think I would kick him right where it hurts."

"And trust me, that hurts" Cody randomly chimed in and both Layla and Eve couldn't help but laugh at him. "Where's Phil and John?"

"Hey babe! Phil's lying down because he's tired and John's with Mickie, so-"

"Why the hell is John hanging with Mickie all of sudden? Don't you find this way too suspicious? I mean, Kelly goes to Smackdown with Randy, Mickie is resigned and is constantly with John. You don't think..."

"I'm not cheating on Kelly" John finished for him. "How can you even accuse me of something like that?"

"I'm sorry man, I...we just don't get why you're hanging with Mickie all the time." John sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. He tried to do the right thing by resigning Mickie. Instead of a positive outcome from a good deed, he received another bout of drama for his already drama ridden life.

"We're doing a storyline together. We're going to be an on-screen couple" John stated, almost as if he was sad about it. To be honest though, he was more mad than anything else.
