Beth was happy on SmackDown! After months of praying to get away from RAW she was finally there and forgot all the pain she suffered on the red brand. Especially from John Cena.
She went through hell after she had slept with him. But that was John. Always being cocky, arrogant, the total asshole backstage. He told everyone how he had nailed her and how she was screaming out his name. Another girl in his list, this list must be growing every day. But nobody from the officials ever did something about him. They need him; he is the hero to everyone out there.
Since she got away from John and all of his stupid remarks the blonde Diva was happy, she had found a new home on the blue brand and got closer to the other Divas, just like Tiffany and Layla. Sure, she has her enemies there as well, because Michelle was thinking that Beth could be the next top Diva so she was manipulating everything.
The Glamazon just arrived at the hotel; she enters it and sees Tiffany along with her husband Drew McIntyre in the lobby. With a smile on her face she heads over to them and greets.
"Hey! Anything new?" Beth asked them, but her smile faded away when she saw Tiffany's concerned look on her face. "What? What happened?"
Beth stepped closer; maybe something was wrong with Tiffany or with anyone else close to her.
"Hey Beth! Uhm...have you took a look on the schedule for the show tomorrow?" Tiffany asked her.
"No...But why are you asking? Is there something that terrible? I mean is Layla fighting against Michelle or what is it?" Beth got nervous; she didn't like the way Tiffany was looking at her. It was nervousness, pity and sadness.
Tiffany turned her face, she was looking away from Beth. That was enough for Beth, her voice got louder. "Oh, come on, Tiff. What is the matter? Tell me, damn it!" She glares from Tiffany and then to Drew, who was silent the whole time.
"Whoa, Beth! Stay calm. You are in a mixed Tag Team Match. That's it." Drew said to her in his scottish accent. "And why is it that terrible that Tiff is like that?" Beth was confused; she didn't understand why there was so much trouble with that fact.
"Don't you get it, Beth?" That was Tiffany; her voice was loud and very high. "It's Alberto Del Rio with Michelle against you and John Cena." Tiffany was looking at her. Beth's mouth falls open as she heard who her tag team partner would be tomorrow.
Feeling how her little, safe world would crash down again; she took a seat on the big black leather couch in the lobby and stared to the ground.
"Bethy..." Tiffany knees down next to the Glamazon. "It's good. I'm ok, really." Beth gave Tiffany a weak smile and got up from the couch, she shrugs and let out a laugh when she heads to the desk to check into the hotel.
Tiffany and Drew only watched her heading from the desk to the elevator and disappearing there up to her floor.
How could it be that John Cena was in a match with her? That was impossible. He was the one who told the writers to do such a stupid match. Alberto Del Rio? Why in the hell against him?
Michelle...that was ok. Beth wants her title, but Alberto and John?
Beth was sinking down into her hotel bed, the blonde rolls onto her stomach and punches with her fist into the pillow. Every little note, remark, mean word he said got into Beth's mind again.
Just like every other hoe I had...
She screamed my name...
That little slut wanted more...
She was begging that I give her more...
She was screaming her soul out, into the pillow. Tears were running down her cheeks and onto the pillow. It was getting wet.
"Beth! BETH!" Loud, hard knocks were coming from the door. "BETH! Open that door. Please!" It was a male voice. "Bethy Baby, open up. Come on." It was Cody Rhodes. The only guy who treated her with respect from the first minute they met. From all the others she only got these looks and she fought hard to get the respect from them as well.
Beth clears her throat, she places the pillow against the headboard and got up. Fixing her clothes and hair, she opens the door. "You cried..." Cody said in a worried tone, he placed his hand on her cheek and wiped away the tears.
"No..." Beth backed away from his hand and looked to the side. She hated to show some weakness, especially not in this business.
Cody walked into the room and closed the door behind him. He got closer towards the blonde and wrapped his arms around her. He knew how she was feeling and sometimes you only need someone who just holds you, not saying a word, not asking any questions, just be there.
Beth was thankful. Thankful for Cody, thankful that he was here. She buries her head into his shoulder and starts crying again.
Cody slowly picked her up from the ground and carried her over to the bed, he knew everything from Beth. What was going on and what John did to her. If he only would get near to John he would kill him.
Beth was holding tightly onto Cody when he laid her down on the bed, she didn't want to be alone tonight. So Cody was lying next to her, still keeping the blonde in his arms.
The superstar always wanted more than just to be friends with Beth. He totally fell in love with her since the moment they talked the first.
Beth was beautiful, sexy, smart, intelligent...absolutely perfect for him. But, no, he didn't want to tell her that. Not when she was hurt like that. He was happy that she trusted him, which was enough for him at the moment.
Beth stars to cry a bit louder, the panic was overwhelming, so her panting and gasping got heavier. She knew it was childish to act like that but she couldn't help it.
Cody kisses her blonde hair and whispers. "Shh...I'm here...try to sleep a bit." He plants a soft kiss onto her head and rubs her lower back to comfort her some.
It only took some minutes until the Diva fell asleep in Cody's arms, still holding tightly onto him. Cody as well closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.
The next day
The clock began to ring. Beth slowly pushes the button of the clock with a groan; she opens her eyes and holds her breath. Someone was lying behind her. Someone had wrapped an arm around her waist. Who was there?
Slowly the Diva turns her head to see Cody. She lets out a relieving sigh and smiles. Gently she tries to get out of the bed, not to wake Cody up. But once she moved a bit the Superstar leans forward and kisses her neck softly.
"Good morning!" Cody whispers with a slight yawn.
"Morning!" Beth replied with a smile. It was a good feeling to have someone that close to her who was just...just...yeah, just there. Not wanting anything from her.
Beth turns around in his embrace and gazes into Cody's wonderful eyes. She never realized that he had such great eyes. "You were the whole night here?" She asks him with fascination.
Cody nods slowly and returns the smile. "I couldn't leave you alone." While saying that Cody places one hand onto her cheek and softly strokes it with his thumb.
The blonde still keeps her focus on Cody. "Cody, that's..." She couldn't finish her sentence because the young superstar kissed her lips.
For a second Beth was shocked about that reaction. Did she miss something? What in the hell was going on here?
The blonde pulls back and looks at Cody shocked and confused. The young man holds his breath and then lets it exhale. "Cody, what in the...?"
Cody shakes his head; he palms his face and got up from the bed. "Nothing, sorry." He knew he did something wrong. It was a mistake to kiss her. But he couldn't hold back. He wanted her so badly, Cody loves Beth. But that was definitely a very big mistake.
"Cody, where are you going? Please. Explain it to me?" Quickly Beth jumps up from the bed and walks over to Cody. She grabs his arm and tries to hold him back from leaving.
"Beth, it was a mistake. So just forget it ok? I never did it." He pulls his arm back from her grip and heads over to the door. He wasn't angry at Beth, he was so mad angry about himself. And now he was acting like the biggest idiot on earth. And if he continues to act like that he will maybe lose the friendship of Beth.
But right now he just wanted to get out of the room, to make up his mind and take some deep breaths. Slamming the door shut Cody sighs heavy when he was standing outside of Beth's hotel room.
Beth just couldn't believe what just happened. That kiss...was good. She was just surprised because she never thought that Cody felt that way.
But since he left the room total angry Beth did something wrong. Maybe she should have kissed him back? Or she just didn't know what to do.
Somehow she loved what Cody did, that kiss, that he was there for her but on the other side...why in the hell has he to react like that? That wasn't ok.
Beth was angry at his reaction. At least he could have explained it to her instead of just leaving the room and slamming the door shut.
Well, now...she was complete alone. And then that match with John tonight. How shall she survive that without any company or help?
