CHAPTER 1: And somehow it all started here…
A/N: Yes I know I've been gone for a while but we all gotta take breaks sometimes. I'm not sure if I'm going to finish my other story. As some may know, I like to write plenty of plot twists haha. This story is rated T for now…I don't own WWE but in my stories, I own the personalities of the characters I write about so without further ado…
A/N: Seeing as it appears people are still interested in the story, I've decided to continue it considering its fictional. Also, nothing of the nature that is going on in the media is going to occur in this story. I have already written out an entire series sometime ago (spoiler alert). I'll post the next chapter as soon as my tendonitis resolves. I didn't get it from writing so much, it came from work. The poll again will be left up in my bio page until the end of the month and please leave comments in the review section if you have them.

It was the night of December 19th, 2016 when Sasha was wrapping up for the evening as she prepared to exit the stadium in which she was understandably exhausted. As she made her way backstage towards the elevator, she ran into two of her best friends, Bayley and Alexa Bliss. "Carpooling with us tonight?" Bayley asked. "Lexie here promises that she'll drive smoothly for now on."
"Hey I'm not the world's worst driver" said Alexa. "But yeah Mercedes, we're gonna be a full one this evening." "She's hoping to take Taylor along with us for the ride" Bayley teased. "Wait. Are you serious?" Sasha chuckled. "Thanks a lot Pam for blowing my little secret" Alexa laughed. "It's nothing serious." "Yet" Bayley teased. Alexa playfully rolled her eyes.
"Well I'm glad to see that you've finally moved on to someone much healthier for you" said Sasha. "However, I'm afraid I'll have to decline your offer tonight ladies as I'm taking my own rental car back to the hotel." "Are you sure?" asked Bayley. "I'm sure" said Sasha. "But next week I'll go right back to carpooling." "Alright text me when you're there" said Alexa. "Will do" Sasha said as she continued her way on.
After several minutes she finally reached the elevator and as the doors were beginning the close, they suddenly flung back open as a result of someone's arms stopping it. "Hold it! Hold it!" the voice said and it was at that moment did Sasha's life began to forever change. "Ugh it's you" she said. The voice belonged to Enzo Amore. "Man am I not glad to see you here" said Sasha. "Relax shorty" said Enzo. "I'm only making a relatively normal escape." "Escape from what? Reality?" Sasha asked.
"Oh so we're Miss sarcastic here" said Enzo. "For your information-not that it's any of your business-I'm escaping from the crowd." Sasha scoffed. "Crowd? What crowd?" "The crowd that loves me baby" Enzo said as he placed on his sunglasses. "Whatever I'm outta here. I can wait until it comes back down" Sasha said as she began to press the elevator door button to open but when it became abundantly clear that it wasn't working, she became agitated.
"You're not doing it right" said Enzo as the two began to suddenly fight over the button. "I know what I'm doing! I know how to work a damn elevator! I'm 24 years-old!" Sasha yelled. "Yeah well I'm 30 but whose countin'?" Enzo hissed. As the two continued to argue, the elevator suddenly dropped. "HOLY SHIT!" the two yelled.
After a few moments, the two collected themselves before talking.
"What the fuck happened?" Sasha. "The elevator jumped Miss I-know-it-all" Enzo sarcastically answered. "No shit Mr. Smartass but the damn elevator fell or are you missing that many brain cells?" Sasha said. Enzo rolled his eyes. As the lights began to flicker on and off, he began to realize the seriousness of the situation. "Ugh Sash? It looks like we're gonna be here for a while."
"A while? What do you mean a while?" Sasha asked. "Mercedes, we're stuck in this elevator" said Enzo. "Great just great" Sasha said as she started banging on the doors. "HELP! HELP! SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP!" "Damn Sash, and you said I'm the one with the lack of brain cells" said Enzo. "I said missing, not lack of" said Sasha.
"Yeah, yeah same shit different toilet" said Enzo as he pulled out his iPhone. "Luckily we're in the 21st century where we have these babies." As he dialed for help, Sasha took a seat back next to her stuff. She folded her arms as she looked at the 5'10 tatted up superstar and as he concluded his call, he turned to her and chuckled.
"What? See something you like?" he teased. "Eric, you're an idiot" Sasha said as she rolled her eyes. "Are you sure because you were eyeballing the life outta me" said Enzo. "Just tell me what the operator said" Sasha demanded. "Not until you admit you were checking me out" Enzo continued teasing. "I wasn't" said Sasha. "I mean it's pretty hard to look at anything else considering you were blocking my view of 99% of the elevator."
Enzo chuckled again. "See now, you just admitted to me that it was hard for you to look at anything else but me" he said. "Besides you could've looked at your phone." "Shut up" Sasha said. "Alright, alright so you're one of the shy ones" said Enzo. "I get it I mean look at me. Look at me. Everyone woman in the world wants to be with me so I don't blame you. I take pride on myself in taking care of it. Sadly, I can only be with one person at a time." "That's not what I heard" Sasha muttered.
"What was that?" Enzo asked. "Nothing" Sasha lied. "Now are you gonna tell me what they said?" "I already told you Sash" said Eric. "Not until you admit that you were checking out my physique." "Alright" Sasha said as she stood up and walked up close to Enzo, he suddenly was caught off guard at how fast his heart was beating. "Mercedes…?" But before Enzo could finish his thought, Sasha shoved him against the elevator wall.
"Now listen here" she said. "I can promise you that I wasn't checking you out. GOT IT!?" Enzo rolled his eyes and he removed her hands from off him. "Sure" he said. "But remember, you're the one who made the first move by putting your hands on me first." "You're an idiot" Sasha said as she made her way back over to her belongings to take a seat.
Enzo sat directly across from her. "She said help is on the way" Enzo said. "But we could be stuck here for quite some time because based off of what I told her, we're in the basement, but we're stuck in-between the floors. Sasha let out a sigh as Enzo continued talking. "What's with you anyway?" he asked. "There was once a time when we were friends." "I don't like people who hurt my friends especially guys like you" she said.
"Guys like me how?" Enzo asked but before Sasha could answer, it donned on him what she meant by that. "Oh" he continued. "You mean Alexis? Mercedes it was over a year ago and it wasn't that serious." "Over a year ago? Wasn't that serious?" Sasha scoffed. "You guys are all the same."
"Hey now don't go and comparing me to anyone" said Enzo. "I'm the best in the world." "You're the realist idiot in the world. You're nowhere near Punk" said Sasha. "Punk? I'm talking about myself baby girl. In this world, you gotta look out for yourself and love yourself to the max." Sasha rolled her eyes in disgust. "You're way too full of yourself and it's so sad." "Don't hate the player baby" said Enzo. "Hate the game." "I'm not your baby so stop calling me that" said Sasha. "You were in a relationship with her and you cheated on her. Stop trying to get around it."
"No I didn't" said Enzo. "Pursuing someone isn't the same as dating them." "You were pursuing her for 6 months and then when you saw something else that caught your eye, you left her" said Sasha. "High and dry."
"Let's get one thing straight here" said Enzo. "Alexa maybe one of your best friends in your cute little clique but that doesn't mean she tells you everything. Now I'm sure she's told you my side, well here's mine. Sure there was a mutual attraction going on and yes, we went out on a coupla dates but when I met Mandy…I just…we didn't work out anymore" said Enzo. "It happens." "Cheating happens?" Sasha asked.
"Yeah cheating happens" said Enzo. "But that doesn't make it right and I've learned from my mistakes from my past. All of them." "Sure you have" said Sasha. "That's up to you if you wanna believe me or not" said Enzo as his phone rang.
"Who is it?" Sasha asked. "It's the operator" said Enzo as he answered. "Hello? Yeah is Eric Arndt. Yeah there's someone else with me in here. There's just one other person. A woman. Mercedes Ka-Kay…Mercedes something Varnado. Yeah, no we haven't had anyone make contact with us yet. Oh I'll say that we've been here for about 90 minutes or so? Are YOU MOTHERFUCKING SERIOUS!?" Enzo let out a long sigh. "I see…thanks for letting us know. No ma'am I just find that to be absolutely absurd that you're gonna have us go through that. Nah man that ain't even humane."
As he ended the phone call, his worried facial expression troubled Sasha. "Fuckin' ridiculous" he muttered. "What'd she say?" "She told us we could be in here for up to 8 hours" said Enzo. "8 HOURS!? WHY!?" Sasha panicked.
"Because of our location and the age of the elevator" said Enzo. "That doesn't even make any sense" Sasha said. "You're tellin' me?" Enzo said as he pointed to himself. "How'd you think I felt when she told me all of that shit?" Sasha shook her head in disbelief. "I come into to work on time like I'm supposed and I leave on time like I'm supposed to, do what I'm supposed to and this is how my life choses to reward me?"
"But she said that they're here, they're just struggling on how to get a line through us" Enzo said. "We're screwed" said Sasha. "Totally screwed…"
