KYLA'S POV
I sat in the locker room on a bench right in front of my new locker. Girls came in an out as they all prepared for the episode of RAW that was on tonight. Candice Michelle stood next to me as she put on her black boots and gear for her match against Beth Phoenix that was the 3rd match after the 2nd commercial.
I had just transferred to RAW after being on Smackdown for the past year. I was transferred shortly after my very 'public' break-up with RAW superstar John Cena. I had a huge fight with him after I found out he had kissed his ex fiancée Liz. I was completely heartbroken and torn from the devastation. I screamed at him for being a liar and a cheat and broke up with him.
After the break-up I asked to be transferred of RAW and be moved to Smackdown where I could see my friends who didn't lie to me. Mr. McMahon agreed and signed me over. After a year of drama there – the WWE draft moved me back to RAW. I had been dreading moving back. I really didn't want to ever see John Cena ever again after what he had done. I am still not over it.
Apparently, after John and I broke up he got back with his ex for a couple months. But they broke up after he had back surgery that he got in a match with Dave Batista. Dave also was injured badly and is still out because he tore his hamstring. He won't be back until the summer.
I snapped out of my daze as Candice waved her hand in front of my face frantically.
"Kyla? Earth to Kyla? Are you okay?" She asked.
"Yeah, sorry Candice. I was just thinking about things." I replied.
"That's understandable. It must be hard to see John again."
"That's an understatement."
"Well if there is any trouble – you know the girls & I will back you up 100%."
"Thanks Candice. I appreciate it. I hope he doesn't try anything."
"He won't. He knows not to mess with you."
"He better. If not – then he'll get in big trouble. He's not scheduled to be in the ring near me. So I should be okay. I just hope he doesn't interrupt my speech I have tonight before my match with Melina."
"I don't think he will. He will be busy for his match with Kane. He has a title match with him tonight."
"When did Kane get a title match?"
"Last week. He beat the number 1 contender in a match and Stephanie McMahon gave him a title opportunity tonight."
"That's lucky. I should wish Kane good luck for his match."
"You know I still find it weird that you're friends with Kane."
"Everyone does. But he's nice once you get to know him. I only know him through Undertaker. Undertaker introduced him to me when I was on Smackdown. He was shy at first but he warmed up to me after a month or two."
"Well good luck tonight with your match Kyla."
"You too Candice."
Candice then waved goodbye and left to stand near the ring to watch all the action. I pulled on my new high length purple boots that matched my bright purple tight pants and my black tee with my name Kyla in it in a cool decorative font. I then combed my long black hair and put my other clothes I changed out of in my locker. Just then, Stephanie McMahon came into the locker room. She smiled and walked towards me.
"Hello Kyla." She said as she extended her hand for me to shake.
"Hey Steph. It's good to be back…I guess." I replied as I shaked her hand.
"Well I know that coming back is not easy for you but know that I believe it is good for the show. You were such a big hit on Smackdown with your feud with Edge and Vicky. It was very entertaining. I hope that you will be just as entertaining on this show as well." She said enthusiastically.
"I don't want to let the fans down." I replied.
"I am sure you will do well. As you know you will be speaking before your match with Melina. Just make sure you talk about leaving, your time on Smackdown, and how excited you are to return. I will make sure that John will not come out and try anything as you asked."
"Thanks Steph. What he did as Smackdown was inexcusable."
"Yes that was rude. But in his defense he did protect you from Edge in that match."
"Unlike all the other women here, I don't need anyone to protect me. I am entirely capable of protecting my own back. If I made a bad move and my opponent takes advantage then good for them. I don't need some ex-boyfriend to come and ruin it. I can take care of myself. I am a big girl."
"Of course Kyla. He just didn't want anything bad to happen to you."
"I know but he should have thought about that before he cheated on me with Liz."
"He did apologize and it did only happen once."
"Doesn't matter. The trust is broken. I am over him and his cheating ways. By the way, do you know why he and Liz broke up?"
"Liz dumped him after his accident because she said she 'doesn't want to take care of a cripple' or something like that."
"That's harsh." I replied shakily.
"Yeah. John was upset but he knew that it was for the best. He is still in love with you."
"Doesn't matter. I am over him." I lied. Knowing that Liz did that made me angry. I have tried to fool myself for a long time that I can get over him but I still have feelings for him. I just want him to be okay. Sure, he cheated on me and it was wrong – but he doesn't deserve to be hurt. I hurt him enough when I left him.
"Well I'll have Tony make sure he stays in the locker room until you're done."
"Thanks Steph. I relay appreciate you looking out for me."
"No problem. I take care of my best divas."
She then smiled and left to go to her office or what not.
………………………………………………………………
My match is in 2 minutes and I am really nervous. My heart is pounding rapidly and my palms were sweaty. I can clearly say I have never been this nervous about performing before. I don't think I have felt this way since my first match years ago. I remember feeling so nervous that nobody would like me and they would let me out of my contract earlier than I wanted. But my first match was better than I thought.
I had fought Beth Phoenix for my first match in 2004 at RAW. She had been running her mouth about how I didn't have what it takes to be a WWE Diva. I had come out and gave her my opinion of her performances. I can still remember the look on her face…
I walked out on stage and starred at Beth Phoenix. She was standing in the middle of the ring with her boyfriend Santino Marella (yes, I know that's not true that they dated in '04 but I like the idea of it so SHUSH!). He pointed at me and laughed as my theme music "Barracuda" by Heart blared through the arena speakers.
I walked up the stairs and into the ring. I had a microphone in my right hand. I pulled the microphone up to my mouth and then said, "Beth, you may want to think about shutting up. Nobody likes you Beth. Nobody gives a flying fuck what you have to say." The audience cheered loudly agreeing with my statement.
"You have no right…" She started to say but I interrupted her. "Beth, oh poor little Beth. Everything is always about Beth Beth Beth. Just because I am awesome and your jealous – doesn't mean you 'have the right' to say mean things about my wrestling skills. Because frankly, you can't even wrestle yourself." I said harshly.
"I am the Women's Champion. And what you are? Nothing. You are a sorry loser with no title."
"I am going to take your title Beth. I am going to take your title and there is nothing you can do about it. Little Italian man is not going to save you. You will lose your title. Because tonight you and me and going to go one on one for that championship. Let's see who the better woman is."
"You haven't even been a match before!" She screamed.
"Yeah, but who cares right. Stephanie already ok'd it. To think – my first match ever is going to be me taking your championship. Thrilling, isn't it?" I said smirking.
It was thrilling to stand up to her. The best thing is I did take her championship that night. I still have the record of being the only diva to ever win a title on her first match ever. Nobody can ever be as good as that. Sure, I did lose the championship 5 weeks later but it was all a wonderful experience.
I was currently positioned behind stage and waiting for my cue to go on. I was second to enter after Melina who was the current Women's Championship. The crowd was cheering loudly as her theme music played. A guy in a headset then walked over to me and said "You are on in 12 seconds."
I nodded at him and then counted to twelve in my head. After what felt like eternity my music then began playing. The crowd erupted in cheers as I walked out with a sadistic smile on my face. My bright purple background accented my clothes and the big giant monitor behind me showed my best moves.
I lifted my hands up excitedly and made peace signs. I ran up to the stage and practically jumped in.
I jumped up on a turnbuckle and spread my arms out wide and nodded along to the music (similar to Jeff Hardy).
My music stopped and I jumped down. A middle aged, short, blonde hair referee walked up to me and handed me a microphone. I smiled and took it. Melina waited outside the ring so that I could give my speech.
I pulled the microphone up to my lips and began to speak, "I am so excited to be back on RAW!" I said as the crowd cheered. "I have missed being on this show and seeing my old friends, like Melina down there." I looked over at Melina and waved. She smiled and waved back.
"Though I have enjoyed my time on Smackdown – it was time for me to leave and come back here. I am not going to be like one of those Superstars or Divas who come back to a show and blame everybody else for their problems and be selfish. I have seen that recently with the return of Randy Orton. I am sadly disappointed in his actions against the McMahons. I have also seen Jericho tiring tirade against Legends of WWE and HBK's former alliance with Superstar JBL, which I believe stands for Just a Big Loser. These actions are horrible displays of character and I am hoping with my return that they will cease. I will not be like those men. I, unlike them, have talent and actually know how to win matches – without cheating. I am a good person and I know that –"
I then heard the most terrible sound. John Cena's music then started to play. I looked around frantically trying to see where he would enter from. Steph promised me that people were watching him and that he would not interrupt my speech. Why would she lie to me?
John then came out in the main entrance. He starred at me apologetically. He then ran down the ramp towards the ring. Being frightened, I jumped out of the ring and jumped over the side walls to escape. He ran after me and I ran through the crowd towards the side entrance/exit. The crowd let me pass with ease as I ran up the stairs to the entrance/exit. I go to the door after about 1 minute and I opened it quickly and ran through it. A camera guy followed me as I ran to a random door and opened it, shut it, and locked it. The camera guy stood behind me as I stared at the door. I turned around to see Cody Rhodes sitting on a sofa looking at me confused. "What are you doing in here?" He asked. I walked over to him and said, "I am trying to run away from John but he just won't stop. Can you please help me?"
He stared at me and nodded. "Sure just go lock yourself in the bathroom and I will talk to him." He said.
"Thanks." I replied as I ran to the bathroom and shut the door & locked it.
As I stood near the door I could hear Cody unlock the door to the room and heard John burst in saying, "Where is Kyla?" John rustled around thinking I was hiding under the couch or in the closet or something. Cody then replied, "She is in the bathroom John but please listen. She does not want to talk to you. I think it is best if you just leave her alone."
"This is none of your business Rhodes. Now stay out of this!" John replied as he stalked towards the door and started fussing with the handle.
I was scared at John's tone. John never raised his voice. He only did it when he was trying to prove a point or is very upset to the point of tears.
John pounded against the door as said sadly, "Kyla? Please open the door. Please Kyla. Baby, I miss you."
I then heard Cody talk again, "John seriously, she is not going to talk to you. Just let her move on."
"You don't understand Cody. You don't know what it's like to be in love with your best friend and then do something really stupid and mess it all up. When Kyla left, it was the hardest thing I had to deal with. I left her alone because I knew that is what she wanted and I knew with time she might be able to forgive me. & now that she is back at RAW only makes me believe it more that she can finally be mine again." John said.
"I don't want to talk to you John! Please go away." I said loud enough so he could hear my voice through the door.
"Kyla, please just give me two minutes." John begged. "I'll leave you alone just please give me 2 minutes."
I pondered his suggestion. I didn't want to see him yet. Right now, I am just not emotionally ready to have a conversation with him. It is just way too hard for me to do. I just wish he could understand that.
He knocked against the door. "Kyla, please baby. Please just two minutes. I promise I won't do anything."
Maybe he is telling the truth. I should just talk to him. I am going to have to talk to him eventually about our situation on being on the same show. I might as well get it over with.
So I stood up and walked over to the door. I starred at the handle and slowly brought my hand up and unlocked the door. I swung the door open and said, "Hello John."
"Kyla." He said happily. "Thanks for hearing me out."
"Two minutes John." I said sadly.
"Listen Kyla, I love you. I miss you so much. Everyday without you is horrible. I know what I did was stupid – probably the dumbest thing ever." He said. I glared at him. "Ok, it was the dumbest thing ever. But I am very sorry and I promise Kyla," He said as he got down on his knees. "I will love you forever and I will never hurt you again. Just please take me back and I will treat you like the angel that you are. Please, I love you."
Cody looked up at me and mouthed I think he really means it.
I looked down at John. He looked really apologetic. He might mean what he says now – but I don't think I can trust him yet. Maybe I can give him a chance or something…no what he did was to wrong.
"John, I can't trust you right now. Maybe we can just be friends or something. I can't be with you after what you did. You may love me now but what about tomorrow? What if you see Liz again and you get feelings for her again and you decide to act on those feelings. I don't want to get heartbroken again. I'm sorry John but no. I can't. I just I don't know." I said.
John looked like I had just stabbed him in the heart. A tear came down his right eye. He stood up and sighed. "Well if you ever change you mind – I will be here." And with that he left.
Cody came over and gave me a hug. I needed one. That was very hard.
"Are you ok Ky?" Cody asked.
"Not really but I think I will be." I replied.
"You sure?" He asked worriedly.
"Yeah Cody. Thanks for being a good friend." I said smiling.
"No problem Ky. Do you want something to eat?"
"Sure." I said.
He led me over to the coffee table where he had a bunch of Chinese food laid out.
"Think you ordered enough food?" I asked amusingly.
"Yeah, I only eat a little of each dish. It's hard to only eat one thing when practically all the food on the menu is really good." He said as he grabbed some orange chicken and started eating.
"It all does look really good." I said as I grabbed some sweet and sour chicken and started eating.
