"And, we're off air! Everybody, that's a wrap!"

Jasmine watched as everyone around her clapped for the successful wrapping of a live Monday Night RAW taping. As she took off her headset, the director pat her on the shoulder.

"Good work, Jas." He said
"Thanks, Eli." Jasmine said
"We couldn't do without your precision timing." Eli said

Jasmine merely smiled as she put down the Assistant Director's headset. She signed off on the roster and walked out of the control room, headed to catering for a drink.

"Hi, Jas!"

She looked to her right and smiled at Celeste aka Kaitlyn, a close friend of hers since she joined the company.

"Where are you going?" She asked
"To catering for a drink." Jasmine replied
"Oh! I'll join you." Celeste said

Jasmine nodded and the two of them headed over to catering. They were walking through the corridor when 2 WWE medics ran pass them. The two girls turned to look at them, curious to find out what happened.

Jasmine spotted one of the production assistants about to run pass them and she held onto his wrist, stopping him from going further.

"Reid! What happened?" Jasmine asked
"Oh, during the ending of the show, Phil got injured." He replied
"Injured?" Celeste said
"How did it happen?" Jasmine asked
"We are guessing when Ryan put Phil through the table." Reid said

Jasmine nodded and let Reid's wrist go, "Sorry for holding you back."

"It's okay. Have you seen Eli?" Reid asked
"Yeah… Last I saw him, he was in the control room. Terence is there too if you need him." Jasmine replied
"Good. Thanks, Jas." Reid said
"No problem." Jasmine said

Reid gave her a small smile before running in the direction of the control room. Jasmine looked at Celeste and the two of them exchanged a look before continuing towards catering. The two of them arrived at catering and got a drink each before starting a conversation by the corner near the dessert section.

"So, I was thinking… When we arrive in the next city, we could go for a mani-pedi!" Celeste said
"That sounds great but look at my fingernails! They aren't as long as yours… It might be a waste on me…" Jasmine said
"Aw, come on… We've never tried mani-pedi together before…" Celeste said

Jasmine reached for a cream puff and bit into it.

She looked at Celeste, who pouted and said, "Okay, okay… We'll go."

Celeste smiled widely and hugged Jasmine excitedly. Just as Jasmine put the cream puff into her mouth, Paul Heyman walked into catering. As soon as he spotted Jasmine, he let out a sigh of relief.

"Oh, there you are, Jasmine." Paul said
"Hey, Paul. Aren't you supposed to be with Phil?" Jasmine asked
"Yes, but I have to head home due to a family emergency and I can't stay with Phil." Paul replied
"Oh no… Is everything okay?" Jasmine asked
"It will be as soon as I head home. Anyway, can I count on you to help me keep an eye on Phil?" Paul asked

He leaned in closer to Jasmine and said, "You're the only one I trust the most here."

"Paul…" Jasmine said

He stood upright back in his original position and said, "I'm just saying."

"Okay, I'll help. But, Phil doesn't exactly know who I am since we haven't met properly…" Jasmine said
"Don't worry. It will be fine. If there are any problems, just call or text me." Paul said
"Alright then." Jasmine said
"Thanks, Jasmine." Paul said

She nodded and Paul gave her a grateful smile before hurrying on his way out of the arena. Jasmine turned back to Celeste who was looking at her with an intrigued look.

"What?" Jasmine asked
"You never really told me why you and Paul are so close…" Celeste said
"We're not exactly close… It's just that he kinda took me under his wing and mentored me. He taught me everything I should know about the inside of the WWE." Jasmine said
"Huh… That's kinda like my relationship with Vickie." Celeste said

Jasmine nodded and threw her bottle into the bin.

"Well, I've gotta get going to the medic room to tell Phil about Paul." Jasmine said
"Okay. I'll see you at the airport?" Celeste said
"Yup. You're leaving now?" Jasmine asked

Celeste nodded, "Yup."

"Alright. I'll see ya there then." Jasmine said

The two girls exchanged a hug before she made her way to the medic room, where Phil was. She wasn't exactly sure if he was inside but hearing his voice from the inside, she knew he was there.

"Fuck!"
"Phil, you have to bear with the pain."

Jasmine took in a breath and knocked on the door first before opening it. She stepped in and saw Phil on the consultation bed with the doctor by his side.

"Hey doc… Sorry for interrupting… I need to talk to Phil for a while." Jasmine said
"Uh, sure… I'll wait outside." He said
"Thanks." Jasmine said

As soon as the doctor stepped out, she looked back at Phil.

"Hey, uh, Paul told me to tell you that he can't go with you to the hospital…" Jasmine said, "He's got a family emergency so he told me to keep an eye on you."

Phil looked at her and said, "First of all, who are you? Are you a fan? If this is your form of imposting someone, you're doing really great."

Jasmine looked at him and couldn't believe what he was saying. True, they don't really know each other on a first name basis but surely he would have seen her around during the live shows.

As she was about to speak, Phil continued, "And that is a weak excuse for you to get some alone time with me. So, what do you want to say? You hate me? You think I'm a jerk? Wait… How did you get in? It's amazing what people can do to get in here…"

Listening to what he said, Jasmine knew exactly what he was insinuating.

She looked at him with annoyance and said, "You didn't just injure your knee… Apparently, you've got problems with your eyesight too."

Jasmine lifted her staff badge hanging on the end of the WWE Staff lanyard and said, "In case you didn't notice, I work here as the assistant director. Secondly, now that I know you're a jerk, I don't even want to be in the same room as you for more than a second. So, if you have any questions, just call Paul. I only came in to relay his message."

As she opened the door to leave, she muttered, "Asshole."

Even though it was under her breath, Phil still heard it loud and clear. Normally, he'd reel it in and just ignore the comment but coming from this girl, which he had accused wrongly, he couldn't help but crack a smile.

Jasmine left a message for Paul before getting her bags and heading out to grab a cab to get to the airport. As she stood outside of the arena, she waited for a cab to pass by but none did. Her iPhone rang just as she looked at her watch.

"Celeste?"
"Jas? Where are you?"
"I'm still at the arena. There are no cabs in sight!"
"Are you serious? The flight's leaving in an hour!"
"Really? SHIT!"

"So, she does cuss."

Jasmine took the phone away from her ear and turned behind to see Phil standing there with two crutch under both arms. She rolled her eyes and put her phone back to her ear.

"I'll try to get there as soon as possible. If not, I'll see you in the next city, yeah?"
"Okay. Safe flight!"
"You too!"

Jasmine ended the call as Celeste did and stuffed her iPhone into her pocket as she continued to ignore Phil standing behind her.

"You know, I have a bus that can give you a ride." Phil said
"Don't you have a surgery to get to?" Jasmine said
"I do… But, it's on the way." Phil said
"Uh… I'd rather wait for a cab. Thanks." Jasmine said

Phil chuckled and said, "Look… Paul called me and I owe you an apology."

Jasmine looked at Phil before looking back onto the street.

"I'm listening." Jasmine said
"I'm sorry for being an asshole. Would you allow me to give you a ride to airport?" Phil said

Seeing no cabs in sight, she looked at Phil and said, "Fine… Apology accepted."

"Shall we?" Phil said

Jasmine merely adjusted the straps of her backpack on her shoulder as she walked with Phil towards his tour bus, with her suitcase wheeling behind her.

The doors to the tour bus opened and Phil put out his hand, "After you."

Jasmine pushed the handle of her suitcase down and lifted it with one hand to carry it up onto the bus. But just as she was about to walk up, Phil stopped her.

"I can carry that for you." Phil said
"Can you, really?" Jasmine said

She shook her head and said, "Thank you for your gentleman gestures but you're injured. I don't want to be the cause of extra aggravation of your injury. I can handle it."

Jasmine carried her suitcase up the stairs and put it by the corner just as Phil made it up the stairs. He put his crutches by the side while he sat on the sofa.

"We ready to go?" Phil's bus driver asked
"Yup. Thanks, Brad." Phil replied

The bus driver started up the bus and soon, they were moving. Jasmine sat awkwardly, with her backpack still on her shoulders on the same sofa as Phil. She looked at her watch and started panicking.

"You're not going to make it." Phil said
"I know." Jasmine said
"So, you still wanna get there?" Phil asked
"Yes. I might not be able to make it but at least I can try." Jasmine said

Phil shrugged and switched on the television. In 10 minutes, Phil's tour bus pulled up in the parking lot of the airport. Jasmine hurried out of the bus after muttering 'thanks' to him. She wheeled her suitcase behind her as she half walked and half ran towards the check in counter.

"Hey! There she is!"

While the person at the counter assisted her in checking in, she turned to her left to see Celeste running towards her, with Bryan and Glenn behind her.

"I thought you were going to miss your flight!" Celeste said
"Me too! Thank goodness I didn't." Jasmine said

She smiled seeing the two guys behind, "Hey Bry, hey Glenn."

"Hi smiley." Glenn said, "You were about to miss the flight."

"I know… There wasn't a cab in sight!" Jasmine said
"Then how did you get here?" Bryan asked
"Well… Phil gave me a ride in his bus." Jasmine replied
"Isn't he supposed to be heading straight for surgery?" Glenn said

Jasmine thanked the lady at the counter and took back her passport before looking at Glenn.

"I don't know… Who cares about that asshole, anyway?" Jasmine said

The three of them exchanged a look, unsure of what Phil had done to be name called by Jasmine.

"What did he do to you?" Celeste asked
"I'll explain on the plane. We better get in now." Jasmine replied

The three of them nodded as they headed over to the TSA check with Jasmine. They boarded their flight headed for the next town and settled into their seats. Bryan and Glenn were seated behind the girls.

"So? What happened?" Celeste asked
"Well… Let's just say that I was being nice and sent Paul's message to that asshole when he accused me of being a fan and very rudely tried to ask me to go away." Jasmine replied
"You can't really blame him though… He has only seen you like 3 times…" Celeste said

Jasmine sighed, "Whatever it is… I do not appreciate being treated that way. Even if I was a fan, he shouldn't be behaving like an asshole."

Celeste looked at Jasmine and chuckled before taking out a book to read while Jasmine decided to take a nap for the rest of the flight.
