One, Two, Three.
The bell rings. Time freezes. I look around and I am not the one with my arm held up by the referee holding the RAW's Women's Championship in the other hand.
No, I am the one hurt, bleeding, and shocked. I felt that my childhood dream was just a failed dream not just once but three times. Worst of all, my knee was not 100%. The officials helped me out of the ring and walked me backstage. People gather by the gorilla to tell me I had a good match. Although it was nice, I still felt hurt physically and emotionally, so I just gave them a small smile as a 'thank you'.
My knee was checked by the medical personnels and as predicted I wouldn't be wrestling anytime soon. They wrapped my knee and gave me crutches. As I was slowly limping on my crutches to the women's locker room, down the hall I see many superstars gathered around Charlotte congratulating her on being a four time RAW's Women's champion. It sadden me. As Bayley was happy for Charlotte, she turned her head and made eye contact with me. It made me jump a little and I turned around and started heading to the locker room. Few seconds later, I hear foot steps behind me as if someone was jogging towards me which made me know it was Bayley.
"Hey, you will get Charlotte next time. I know you will Sasha." Bayley puts her arm around me. I know Bayley is trying to comfort me but my feelings are just mixed at the moment.
"If I even get a shot at the title, plus with this injury, it will be long time from now." I pushed the locker room door open and limped towards my belongings.
"Sasha, I hope for you. While you resting and training your injury, maybe I could have a shot at the title and we could feud. Like old times." Bayley then sits next to me on the bench. I really don't know if Bayley was trying to rub her unofficial number one contendership shot in my face or give me hope. I don't know about anything anymore.
"I guess, but the future changes every second, so it could always just be a maybe. I am thinking of going away for a while since I can't wrestle now." I zipped up my luggages. Bayley helped roll my luggages as we start heading towards the exit.
"Go away? As in like stay home for awhile?" Bayley looked at me confused. I haven't told anyone this but I planned a getaway just in case this event ever happened to me.
"Not home, I am leaving the country." We make it to my car and placed my lugagges in the back of my car.
"Leaving the country?! Sasha, why and where?!" Bayley looks at me as if I murdered someone.
"Just a gateway and just be me. I wanted to explore Japan and refresh myself. I love wrestling but I rarely have time to myself." I slowly get into the driver's seat while Bayley helped put my crutches in the passenger's seat.
"I understand. Will you be okay by yourself? Are you sure you don't need someone like a relative to tag along with you. I wish I could come but I can't have off days." Bayley looked pretty worried.
"Bayley, I am a grown woman. I can handle myself. I will FaceTime you everyday if that you not worry about me." I give her a small smile calm Bayley down.
"Okay. You better!" Bayley gives me a huge hug. I close my car and as slowly pull out of the lot, Bayley jumps up and down while waving bye.
Next stop, Japan.
