The months had passed slowly but finally we were back in Chicago and I was hoping and praying that tonight would be the night that I would lay eyes on my best friend who had ditched me and his fiancé months ago. He had since decided that he didn't want to be with AJ anymore and had broken her heart.
AJ had opted to take a vacation right around the week when she knew that we'd be in Chicago and went home to see her family, while I decided to go ahead to Chicago. I missed my best friend and while I was in Chicago for a week I had plans to see him, whether he liked it or not. I sighed loudly as I tossed my phone in to my bag roughly and pushed myself off the bench that I was sitting on and walked out of the Diva's locker room and headed down the hall way to the gorilla. I got stopped half way by my opponent and good friend Saraya, also known as Paige.
"Indie, what's wrong Pumpkin? You look like you've just seen a unicorn shit all over your rainbow." She frowns at me as she joins me in the walk to the gorilla. There's still about ten minutes until the match before ours is done but we like to stretch together and go over the match before we start.
I look up at Saraya and frown at her, I'm happy to be in his home town but I haven't heard from him since I messages him two weeks ago to tell him that we were heading in that direction. He hadn't answered my calls or texts but his phone had been turned on. The thing that bothered me the most was the fact that he couldn't be bothered calling me back or sending me a courtesy text to let me know that he was alive. "I haven't heard from him in over two weeks, Saraya. He can't even reply to a simple text." I tell her as we round a corner and bump in to Rollins and Orton. Seth smiles at me and Saraya which we return but Randy just scowls. "I feel like I've lost my best friend. I even sent him a text to tell him that I'm getting the title tonight and he didn't reply." I'm disappointed thatmy best friend, hate WWE or not, cannot be there for me when I'm about to top every single thing I've ever done in my career.
"Don't worry darlin' we all know you're the reason he broke up with AJ, he'll be here. I promise." Saraya smiles brightly at me as we approach the Gorilla and then we start talking quietly as we stretch and watch Dean Ambrose and John Cena on the monitor and start our stretches.
Saraya went out first and while I was waiting for my cue I spotted Colby or Seth Rollins eying me from the corner. When he noticed that I was watching he smirked and winked at me and then walked off. Talk about weird…
I shrugged it off and headed through the curtains when my music came on and did my usual entrance. I slapped some hands on the way down and slid in to the ring while making it a little obvious to the WWE universe and practically everyone in Chicago that I was looking for CM Punk even though I knew he wasn't even here. I kept an eye out for the first half of the show before Saraya and I both almost botched, "Concentrate babe." Saraya managed to mutter as she pulled me up by my hair.
What the hell is going on? Not only did I lose my match that I was scheduled to win via disqualification but I had just been attacked by Seth Rollins. He pulled me up by my hair as Hunter and Randy stepped in to the ring, "Shut up and I won't hurt you." Seth leans forward and whispers in my ear. Ok so now I'm really confused and I don't know what the hell is going on?! I'm pretty sure that by now everyone knows how fake the WWE actually is? I've worked my ass off for this title shot and I'm not happy about this sudden change in plans without so much as a 'Hey Indie, there's a change in FUCKING script!'
"Hey Indie, good match, sorry to interrupt but we couldn't help but notice that you seemed a little anxious on the way out. Thought that maybe the man that apparently left AJ for you was here to see your big match." Hunter stepped forward and bent down at the knees to look me in the eyes. My mind instantly went back to when Saraya had said quite loudly in front of a few co-workers that apparently everyone knew that Punk left AJ for me. "Don't deny it sweetheart, we know you've got a soft spot for the straight edge superstar. So I'm sure you'll lead us in the right direction. We just want to talk to him, hash all this hatred out in a boardroom and hopefully get the best in the world back in to the best company in the world. Now if you could so much as kindly point us in the right direction?" The shining in Hunter's eyes was a little off putting and I couldn't tell if they had done this to get a genuine reaction out of me or if it was real.
Seth pulled my head back so that my mouth was adjacent the microphone. "I don't know." I snapped at them. I scanned the crowd because if he was here I knew he would have done something already.
"Now, now, don't be like that Indie. I know you know where he is, so just let the cat out of the bag and we'll let you go." Hunter chuckles and shoves the microphone back in my face just as I spot the man they're looking for. Unfortunately for me, I can't keep a straight face and Randy spots my change in expression and follows my eyes.
He taps Hunter on the shoulder and points to my best friend who is sitting in the second row wearing a hoodie and a scowl. Hunter murmurs something to Seth and I'm thrown out of the ring roughly in front of Phil and his best friend, also one of my other best friends, Colt Cabana. "Hey Punk, long time no see? How have you been?" Hunter taunts.
Phil is on edge, I can see it in his eyes. He's glaring at the COO and he's just stood up from his seat. But I know what he's like and I know that he's stubborn. If this is some elaborate hoax he'll grab a microphone but if he has nothing to do with it then I know he'll just stand there and glare. He won't let the best of people force him in to a board room so I know that he won't go willingly. "I promise I won't hurt your girlfriend, I just want to take you back stage, buy you a Pepsi and sit down and chat." Hunter seems casual and I take the chance while no one is paying attention to me to roll out of the way. But I get caught. Seth yanks me up by the hair.
"What did I tell you?" He yells loudly at me as he pulls me up and makes me look him in the face. I cry out in pain, the hair pulling was really not necessary!
"Calm down there Rollins," Hunter chuckles, "Be gentle with Punk's girlfriend, we don't want to make him mad." I roll my eyes at him and he laughs. "Now Punk, what d'ya say? Should I open up the barrier or…" Hunter pauses and looks to me and smirks at me. He then looks behind him to Randy Orton who smirks and walks over to Seth and takes me from his grip.
My face drains of all colour as Seth pulls up the padding on the ground and reveals the cold concrete underneath. I look at Phil, my eyes pleading but he just stands there. Colt on the other hand has now stood up and is practically screaming in Phil's ear to do something. But it's too late and I was RKO'd in to the concrete.
