Friend Or Foe: Chapter 29 Pick Up
Vio's POV
“Hey Baby Bugga Bugga,” I greeted softly as I walked over to Shannon. He was waiting at baggage claim and already had one of my bags. I was late getting down there, due to fans recognizing me and asking for autographs, pictures, etc...I didn't mind, it took my mind off of the huge blow-up with Jeff. I had been a total bitch, but frankly, there was no other reasonable reaction to what he said.
And every single word that came out of my mouth was true. I was always trying to fix things, trying to keep our family together. And I was tired of being everyone's mother. I just wanted to go, and have fun. Do something stupid, even. But I was too upset to do any of that.
Anyways. “Hey Mama Bugga Bugga,” he said, hugging me. I smiled slightly as he leaned over tot he carousel and pulled my last bag off, it was the smaller of the two. He was holding the bag and looked up at me, “make up suitcase?” he questioned with a smirk. I rolled my eyes, “yes,” and then laughed. He laughed to. I took the bag from him and I pulled it along behind me while he took the other one.
He had gotten a parking lot pretty close to the entrance so we didn't have to walk long. We loaded my bags into the trunk then got in on either side. I could tell something was up with Shannon, he was too quiet. And he was thinking something over. I could just tell. “What is it?” I asked, looking out the window. “Ha—t?” Shannon stuttered.
I rolled my eyes, “what is it that you have to tell me?” I asked impatiently. Shannon sighed, “I talked to Carmi earlier. And...” he trailed off. I looked at him confused, what could Carmi have said that set him off so much. “What did she say?” I asked.
“'.”
“Yeah, Shan, I didn't get any of that,” I said looking at him, slightly annoyed. He sighed. “She called you a drama queen and made a reference to how you're the only one of us who has slept with Matt,” he said, annunciating his words. “Oh.” I said, my mood suddenly darkened. I looked out the window again. It was close to 2 AM and it was pitch black outside.
We didn't talk for a good ten minutes. And that was only to tell Shannon I wanted to go to my house. By the time we even made eye contact we were mere minutes from my house. “What did you say back?” I finally asked. Shannon glanced over at me, “I defended you, naturally. Vio, I'm on your side.” he told me. I shook my head fiercely. “I don't have a side and I'm not on a side!” I exclaimed. Shannon bit the inside of his cheek and just nodded.
“So, WrestleMania. It's gonna end then huh?” Shan asked, glancing at me. I shrugged, “I don't know, but I think it will. If it does continue, it's the storyline and not real life. Matt's over it,” I explained. Shannon tensed, but just nodded. I knew he wanted to say something, but he didn't. He parked in front of my house and I got out of the car, without speaking. I walked around and pulled my bags out of the back and shuffled around in my purse looking for my keys.
“Fuck.” I muttered. I had lost my keys, perfect. Suddenly I heard metal clinking together. I looked up, Shannon was dangling my keys in front of me. “They fell out of your pocket while you were getting out of the car,” he told me dropping them into my open palm. I just nodded and smiled slightly at him. I went to walk past him but he grabbed my arm. “Vio, calm down, okay. Go get some rest, too,” he said, brushing my bangs out of my eyes. I nodded and hugged him quickly. “I'll take car of your bags. Just go get changed and go to sleep,” he ordered me.
I rolled my eyes, “yes master,” I muttered and as I walked past him he slapped my ass. I squeaked and turned around, smacking him on the chest. “Keep your hands to yourself buster!” I told him, pointing a finger at him. He smirked and picked up my bags. I just walked up to my porch, unlocked the door, and drug myself up the stairs to my bedroom.
I flopped down onto my bed and fell instantly asleep.
Shannon's POV
I was surprised by her reaction, to say the least. I thought it would have been worse. But actually, I'm glad it wasn't. If she had reacted angrily she would have gone on an emotional overload, and she knows that. That's why she stayed calm and quiet. She's got the whole package...
I placed her bags in the hallway then went up to her room. I grinned slightly when I saw her passed out on her bed, laying the wrong was, and curled up into a ball. She was shivering and the window was open, a cold breeze sweeping through the room. I went over to the window and closed it before going over to her and pulling off her jacket and t-shirt, leaving her in her undershirt.
Then I peeled off her jeans and pulled her favorite pair of old sweats on her. I pulled the covers back and laid her down, snuggling her under the comforter. I smiled, seeing her pull the blanket closer to her. I leaned down and kissed the top of her head before heading back downstairs.
I checked my phone which I had turned off at the airport. Damn, 3 messages. Really? The first message was from Vio's John(Cena) asking about if he could be picked up at the airport. Which I would, to surprise Vio, which is what John wanted. The second message was from Jeff, asking if Vio was okay. I didn't give a shit about Jeff right now so I deleted his message immediately. And the last message surprised me; It was Carmi.
But I didn't even listen to it. She had just called a few minutes ago, but I didn't care. If she wanted to apologize, she could apologize to Vio. Tomorrow. Violet was exhausted as it is, she doesn't need anymore drama. A few apologies will do her good, and Carmi needs to, because Vio's gonna need a female companion. And with Juli out of state with Ashleigh there is no one in Cameron to be with Vio, except Tanner, who I'm sure she doesn't want here.
So, Carmi needed to fix her fucking attitude and be here for Vio.
Carmi's POV
Fuck it, Shannon!!! Pick up, pick up, pick up. PICK UP!!! Fuck! I slammed my phone down on the desk for the third time. Shannon wouldn't answer my call. I had called four times. The first time I left a message and after that I didn't. I just kept calling, and calling, and calling. Vio's phone had been turned off all night, since she called Shannon at the airport. So, I didn't even try her phone anymore. Yes, I had tried calling her earlier.
I had instantly felt guilty about what I said once Shannon started yelling at me and then hung up. That stung, he didn't even wait for me to respond. He just hung up. And now, no one would answer my calls. Not even Shane. My own fucking brother. Why did everyone, except John, hate me today?
John noticed my distress and wrapped his arms around my waist from behind. He let one arm unwind from my waist to pry my cell phone from my hand. “Babe, just chill. Every thing's gonna be fine, okay?” he said soothingly. I nodded, even though I thought it wouldn't. Nodding would keep him happy. He kissed the side of my neck, making me giggle. I shook my head, returning to my saddened/angered mood.
John sighed and pulled away. “Car, babe, I tried. Just wait till morning. Try again, but call Vio. Not Shannon. He's hurt and upset and is just trying to protect Vio. And even though she scares the shit out of me, I think she's terrified of what's gonna happen at WrestleMania, especially about what's gonna happen to your family. Change is scary, I think everyone knows that. But Vio seems to know it better than anyone. She's strong, stronger than you think.”
He took a breath, “give her the night to sleep it off. And talk to her tomorrow.” I nodded, “fine, okay. But will you talk to my brother tomorrow, please?” I asked, walking over to him and wrapping my arms around his waist. He smiled slightly and nodded, “yeah, sure I can.” and then, we went to bed.
I woke up the next morning and knew I had to call Vio, immediately. I just had this feeling that she wanted to talk to me too. I got out of bed, trying not to wake John, and walked over to the desk. I picked up my phone and dialed Vio's number. “Hello.” She sounded as if she had just woken up. “Vio? I'm sorry if I woke you up. I just—don't hang up please,” I begged. “Carmi, I'm listening.” “I know Shannon told you what I said. It's probably why you weren't answering your phone last night. And I just, I'm sorry, okay.” “Shannon did tell me. But I didn't answer because I was asleep and I didn't hear my phone.”
“But do you accept my apology?” I heard her sigh. “I dunno, Carmi. I feel like I shouldn't, but I want to. Why would you say something like that about me? Carmi, what did I ever do to get treated like that?” That was a damn good question. “I'm sorry, Vio. I was just stressed about Jeff and then Shannon was defending you and I got upset. I'm sorry. I didn't mean any of it.” “Carmi, we both know that's a lie. You meant every word, I don't doubt that.”
Ouch, she knows me too well. “Sorry I lied. Just don't hate me too long.” “I never said I hated you Carmi. Just that I didn't deserve to be talked about like that behind my back, and you shouldn't lie to me. I know you too well for that.” I let out a sigh, “you do.” I heard her chuckle. I heard a knock in the background then she yelled, away from the phone, “ONE MINUTE!” “Vio, who is that?” “I don't know. I'll talk to you later, okay?” “Uh, sure. Bye.” “Bye.” she said quickly then she hung up.
I sighed sitting down on the desk chair. I looked over at John, who had gotten up while I was on the phone. “I'm going to see your brother. I'll be back soon.” He kissed me then left. What the hell should I do now?
