Even though Jessie wasn’t in action this past week on Climax Control she did end up being taken out on a stretcher due to her being whacked in the head with a Steel Chair by Carly Athens whilst trying to save Odette Ryder.
At Summer XXXTreme she was in the biggest match of her career so far as she was facing not one, not two, not three but four opponents as she was taking part in a Triple Threat Bombshell Tag Team Match for the Bombshell Tag Team Titles against the newly crowned champs The Party Girls and The Freekettes, only problem? Her tag team partner was Miss Evangelista, a women who Jessie had no kind words for in her debut promo and had cheated to beat her in Jessie’s debut match, would they be able to set aside their differences?
Dominican Hospital, Santa Cruz CA
July 30th, 2012, 11:00am
Ugh, my head, this is making my hangovers seem pleasant!
I glance around my surroundings and quickly realize that I’m in a hospital bed, though the bleeping noises from the machines probably should’ve alerted me to that fact first! Another thing I realize is that I’m still in my outfit from the show minus the denim jacket which is hanging over the back of one of two chairs.
“Ah good, your awake.” I looked up and saw a doctor standing nearby with a much younger nurse nearby, I noticed that some of the younger male patients where checking out the nurse but I ignored that. “Jessica, I’m Doctor Phillips, how are you feeling?” I groaned.
“My head hurts like hell for one thing, and I prefer to be called Jessie by the way.” I told him and the doctor nodded.
“As you wish Jessie, well you’ll be pleased to know that you only suffered a minor concussion and minor blood loss as a result of Ms. Athens’s attack on you,” The doctor added and I breathed a sigh of relief. “You should be free to compete at the Summer XXXTreme wrestling event that you’re employers are hosting in a couple of weeks.”
“That’s a relief.” I said with a grin. “Are my siblings here?”
“Yes, they are waiting in the waiting room; do you want me to send them in?” He asked and I nodded before he and the nurse walked off, it was around that point that I realized that I still didn’t know who my opponent was or what kind of match it was, my thoughts where interrupted when my siblings came into view and sat down.
“Jess, I think you’re taking the metalhead label a bit too literally.” Jake said as he sat down and I groaned as did Katie. “Oh come on! It wasn’t that bad!”
“Jake, trust me it was.” I told him before shaking my head. “Did my match for Summer XXXTreme get announced?” I asked them and they nodded.
“Good news is your competing for a title, namely the Bombshell Tag Titles.” Jake said as I turned to him. “Your opponents are the new champs and The Freekettes.”
“Guess I’ll have to end The Party Girls’ reign as champs early.” I said with a broad grin. “What’s the bad news?”
“Bad news is who you’re teaming up with.” Katie chimed in and I turned to her. “You remember Miss Evangelista from your debut match?”
“You mean that bitch that had to cheat to beat me? Hell yeah I remember her.” I said with a look of annoyance on my face. “Why do you……oh no, please tell me this is a giant prank you’re playing on me?!” I asked once it dawned on me.
“Sorry, I’m not the pranking type, that’s more your area of expertise anyway.” Katie said with a grin which I returned. “You’re teaming up with Miss Evangelista.”
“You have got to be kidding me?!” I said with an annoyed growl. “Did Christian and Mark even watch my debut match?”
“Hard to say but if you want to win you are going to have to set aside your differences with Miss Evangelista, I know that’s asking a lot but still.” Jake told me and I shook my head. “The rest of the card was announced as well, they didn’t let me bring my laptop in so I’ll show you when you get discharged from the place, I have to say though, and it’s looking like a stacked card.”
“Doesn’t surprise me, it is a SCW Supercard after all.” I pointed out with a shrug. “Actually I think I know why they put me and Evangelista together for this match, because The Fallen are too busy fighting The Logan Boys for the NWA Titles.”
“Makes sense to me.” Jake shrugs as Doctor Phillips returned.
“You seem to be pretty popular Miss Salco, a woman just turned up wanting to see you, and I believe she’s one of your co-workers.” The doctor told me before pausing. “A Miss Odette Ryder I believe.”
“If she wants to see me send her in.” I shrugged and the doctor walked off to fetch Odette. “We’re going to need a third chair for Odette.”
“Good point, I’ll see if anyone has a chair that they aren’t using.” Jake said with a nod before walking off. “And no Jess, I’m not volunteering because I happened to find Odette and Carly hot.”
“Sure you’re not.” I responded with a grin and Jake rolled his eyes before walking off, I shook my head as I lay back in bed. “God I hate being cooped up in here.”
“That’s what you get for not going in there with a plan.” Katie shrugged and I glared at her. “Yeah, I know you didn’t really have time to plan for it but still.”
“Yeah and any planning I would’ve done would’ve jut given Carly enough time to have her way with Odette using that chair.” I pointed out with a frown. “Katie, just do me a favor and save the nagging just this once, I’m really not in the mood for it.”
“Sure, you did save Odette from a world of hurt anyway so I guess I can’t fault your decision.” Katie nodded just as Jake returned with a chair for Odette.
“So, I guess this is kind off a stupid question but you guys looking forward to Summer XXXTreme?” I asked them and my siblings grinned.
“Are you kidding? Before the event was announced the closest I got to a Cruise Liner was when I was shipped to Iraq when I was in the army.” Jake said with a grin which Katie returned. “We had a chat with Christian and Mark by the way and they agreed to let Craig, Johnny and our parents stay on the ship as fans.”
“That’s great news, I can’t wait to see them.” I said with a grin just as Odette showed up doing her best to ignore the wolf whistles. ”Hey Odette, what’s up?”
“Not much, besides losing my title no thanks to Carly.” Odette answered with a hint of annoyance in her voice. “How are you feeling?”
“Besides the splitting headache and the stitches in my forehead I’m fine.” I shrugged as I leaned back. “Still that’s the price I pay for saving you from a world of hurt.”
“True enough and you don’t hear me complaining.” Odette shrugged and I grinned at her. “I’m guessing you were told about your upcoming match?”
“Yeah, I’m not exactly looking forward to teaming up with Miss Evangelista after how our last match ended.” I said with an annoyed sigh. “Honestly this is probably one instance where I wouldn’t mind losing the match because then I wouldn’t have to put up with her for more than one match.” I added and Odette nodded in understanding.
“Sorry if I don’t seem that talkative, the whole Carly situation has me on edge.” Odette apologized and we nodded in understanding. “Thanks for the help anyway, if it weren’t for you taking the hit for me I’d be in your spot right now with a lot more than a busted lip.”
“Don’t worry about it, I’m still trying to wrap my head around why she turned on you to be honest.” I responded and Odette shook her head. “Well whatever the reason was you’ll get revenge on her soon.”
“You got that right.” Odette said with a smirk as Doctor Philips returned.
“Sorry but visiting hour is up; Ms. Salco will need her rest if she wants to recover.” The doctor said and the siblings and Odette left leaving me alone.
*the next day at the Salco Siblings hotel room*
I was discharged from the hospital earlier today and as a result I’ve finally seen the whole card for Summer XXXTreme, Jake wasn’t kidding, it’s a stacked card from top to bottom and I can’t wait to compete in it even if I’m teaming up with someone I hate.
I’m back in the hotel room that I’m sharing with Katie and Jake, Katie left about an hour ago to get food and Jake is busy working out at a local gym, he did invite me to come along but I told him that I wasn’t up for it as I just wanted to rest up and promote my match, and speaking off which…..
“I may be hurt but as my next opponents will soon find out it takes a lot to keep me down for any extended period of time.” I said as I sat down on my bed. “The Party Girls, The Freekettes, you may have a lot more experience than me but that won’t stop me from ending the reign of the Party Girls before they’ve even held the titles for a month, that said there’s pretty much only one person in this match that could possibly stop me from winning, my partner.”
I shook my head in annoyance.
“I don’t know whose idea it was nor do I care, teaming me up with Miss Evangelista is a disaster waiting to happen and if you want proof of that just look at our debut match! Evangelista, if we are able to put aside our differences, which is highly unlikely, there’s a good chance that we’ll win this match but like I said it doesn’t seem that likely and for once it seems that losing this match seems like the lesser of two evils because at least then I won’t have to team up with someone who had to resort to cheating in her first match!”
I sighed before moving on.
“As for my actual opponents, I’ll start with the ones whose last match I watched from the commentary booth with Jake, that’s right I’m starting with the Party Girls, Cookie may be a lot bigger than me and Evangelista and Brandi may have more experience but that won’t stop me from trying to beat you in our match at Summer XXXTreme, even if I don’t exactly like the idea of teaming with Evangelista if we win this match then I guess we’ll just have to set aside our differences.”
All though that sounds about as likely as Metallica ever releasing a decent album again right now.
“That just leaves two more opponents, the Freekettes and too be honest I’m not sure if Rochelle is even a woman based on those muscles, anyway those two may have been in SCW far longer than me or Evangelista but, and as much as I hate to admit it, we are the wild card in this match and we have that fact working to our advantage, with or without my partner’s help I will win this match!”
I guess it’s time to wrap things up, I think Katie should be home soon anyway.
“Injury or no injury, shitty partner or no shitty partner I will walk off that cruise liner with one of the SCW Bombshell Tag Titles in my hand, back at the start of the year I made a New Year’s Resolution to win a Woman’s Title in a major company by year’s end and even if I have to share that glory with Evangelista it’ll be worth it, just remember Party Girls and The Freekettes, when I’m soaring through the sky ready to hit you with my 450 Splash you’ll know that Air Salco has passed you by.”
I heard the door to the hotel room open and I went to see who it was as the scene fades.
