The Teen Intern

Desiree's Intern Evaluation

Chapter 20:

Desiree was in the hotel café making herself coffee. It was idiotic for her to show herself since The Shield are staying in the same hotel that she was, but she really had to make her morning coffee. Desiree had be pondering over what to explain to Jon about Colby and Joe. She knew that she needed to talk to Colby and Joe, but she figured that talking to Jon would be the better thing to do first. It was early in the morning and she was the only one in the café.

"Hey Des, are you having breakfast too?"

Des figured that she wasn't alone in the café and turned to Phil Brooks. He looked like he had just gotten up. Des nodded.

"Yeah, I couldn't sleep last night." it was the truth. Des was up most of the night just thinking about what she was going to say to Jon.

"That makes the two of us." Phil took a seat in the small café table and gestured for her to join him. Desiree took the seat across from him.

"So, you're having a match with Brock Lesner at SummerSlam, are excited?" Des changed the subject with a smile on her face.

"Yeah, I'm pumped. Is Jon excited about his match?" Phil just had to bring up Jon. Desiree bit her bottom lip and looked down to her coffee. "What's wrong, Desiree?" Phil asked her, he could sense that something was wrong with her.

"It's nothing, Phil." Des lied.

"Desiree, explain." he demanded. He wanted to get some information from her.

"I ran away from them. I can't go back. I'm not going to the intern evaluation tomorrow." Desiree had made the decision of not going to the intern evaluation. What was the point of her going if she is just going to be told no?

"Why are you not going?" Phil asked her.

"I'm going to get no's." Desiree frowned.

"Come on, Desiree. It's not true. They adore you." Phil tried to encourage the insecure intern.

"I heard Colby and Joe fighting with Jon. They both said no and Jon tried to fight for me and he couldn't." Desiree admitted.

"You need to talk to them, Des," Phil looked behind Desiree and spotted Jon. "And, you can start now." Phil got up from his seat and left the intern with the wrestler.

Des was speechless and tried to get Phil to stay with her. But, it was too late and Jon has spotted her. Jon's facial expression went shock. Desiree was just right there. He ran up to her and hugged her.

"You're okay. I was so fucking worried and scared that something terrible happened to you. Why did you run away? Desiree Marie Harper, I need answers." Jon's voice went intense. Des embraced Jon and then gestured for him to join her.

"I overheard you and the guys fighting. They don't want me here?" Des was ready to cry. This was too painful for her to think of.

"I'm so sorry about you hearing all of that. Colby and Joe are hurt about not being told about your eating disorder. They're pissed at me, and they're taking it out on you and that's not right." Jon explained.

"They need an explanation. But, I don't think it will change a thing." Des thought that the damage was done and there was nothing that she could do to get the yeses that she wanted.

"What if it does change a thing?" Jon asked her, thinking of the positive.

Desiree and Jon were walking up to the suite that The Shield were staying at. Desiree was nervous about confronting Colby and Joe. Jon opened the door and went in first, while Des waited for his signal.
