A\N: It's been a long time since I wrote a piece of fanfiction, but I am so happy to be back. As per usual, I only own my original characters. I absolutely am making no money from this, everyone is owned by their respective companies and estates, et al. As always, please don't plagiarize my stories\original characters. Please don't post to any social media. As always, please read and review. Also, I will abbreviate some of the names of the wrestling companies. Let me know what you think.
Chapter 1
(Dixie's point of view, Four hours until All In)-
All in was my first pay per view appearance for Ring of Honor, the promotion I currently work for-to say to say that I was anxious was an understatement.
To add insult to my anxiousness, my leg was killing me, and I didn't really want to take my medication, but I decided to text Cody to make sure I wouldn't disqualify my chances at the match tonight. Luckily, I had Brandi's number and I quickly texted her. (Dixie's Text to Brandi-"Is it okay with Cody if I take my medication because otherwise, I won't be able to wrestle tonight?" Thanks, Brandi-I owe you.) I quickly hit the send button as I got up to leave my dressing room to take a walk, to calm my nerves. I smile lightly, recalling everything that has happened to get me here. I am very grateful to the ring of honor staff for taking a chance on me, even though WWE developmental thought I had no chance due to the fact I have Cerebral Palsy. Everyone I've ever met (including doctors, to be honest) are shocked when I tell them what I do for a living. As I around the corner of the arena, I see Kenny Omega, I cringe inwardly. I look towards him with my arms crossed as he comes towards me. I saw the interview after the match that he did for NJPW. I was angry that he'd used language like that, but I understood he is a heel, I did things as a heel that I wasn't proud of. But I knew when I'd crossed a line. I rolled my eyes as he came closer towards me. "What in the world do you want, Omega?"
He smiled, showing that smile that could make any girl weak-but not me. "I am just here to inform you that tonight you are facing Sumie". I felt like my heart was pounding out of my chest. He is about to walk off, but I ask him a simple question- "This isn't a joke, right?" He nodded, and said, "Dixie, I know we have a complicated thing- but I wouldn't lie." Just then, I heard my text tone go off. "Hang on, It's Brandi-Can we go sit please?" I ask him and we headed towards his room. I see Nick and sit next to him on the couch. I read Brandi's text and it says, "Go ahead and take the medication, and don't forget you have a match tonight, Cody and I will be supporting you." I sigh in relief as Nick says, "You seem a little preoccupied, everything alright?" I sigh, "I apparently have a championship match tonight, against Sumie." He looks over at Kenny and has a look on his face that could kill, which probably meant that Nick knew something I didn't. I instinctively headed for the door until Nick's voice stopped me. "Don't worry, Dixie, Matt and Kenny were just leaving, you can stay with me. I sat back down as Matt and Kenny left the room. Matt shared a look with his brother. I looked towards Nick, for reassurance I'd done nothing wrong and he nodded. I wanted to get to know Nick.
(Dixie's point of view)- It wasn't long until I started to feel my medication take effect. I remember asking Nick, "Am I a burden?" He said no, and I thought he'd leave the room, but he didn't. I liked the fact I wasn't alone. But as soon as I heard a knock at the door, I let the tears fall. I felt humiliated.
(Nick's point of view)-I was seething because I can't believe Kenny would mislead Dixie that way, she's never done anything to him (or as far as I know as she's been with ROH since 2015, she was at NJPW from 2012-2014.) I looked towards her, her face is contorted like she's in pain. My heart broke because I wish that Kenny wasn't such an ass towards her. I heard a soft knock at the door. It was Cody. I told him about how Dixie had taken her medicine(which he knew because Brandi had texted Dixie, as that's something I didn't know) and that Nick would tell him the rest of the story as I know Nick is going to confront Kenny if he hasn't done so.
