Hey guys I really hope you all like this story. It's based off of Total Divas but I'm going to be writing this as if the show didn't exist. I used to write as futuredivabrooklyn77 but lost my account information. Hope you all like it as much as I am writing it!
"I truly don't even know where to begin Brie. He straight up told me to my face that there was no hope for a family or for marriage. I really thought I was okay with this whole situation but seeing how happy you and Bryan are just made me hope for so much more and made me realize that I'm not okay with this. I don't want to regret staying with him when in my heart I know I want so much more in life," Nikki admitted as she wiped a few tears away from her eyes.
Brie extended her arm to her sister's shoulder. "Nikki, I can't imagine how hard this is for you. You have to feel so torn inside. The only advice I can give is that you follow your heart. I know that part of you is saying 'John is enough' and the other half is saying 'Well maybe it isn't.'"
Nikki slowly rubbed her finger tips across her forehead. "This shouldn't be so hard. He told me from day one this is how it was going to be and there was no budging on the subjects."
"I think the problem is you fall in love with a guy who you think you can change and when they don't change the way you want them to is when it all crumbles. I can understand that you could want to change this about him but it sounds like he knows what he wants in his life and kids and a wife aren't it. But you seem to fit in there."
"I know that he wants me in his life and that I want him in mine, but if we can't agree on two of the biggest decisions of our lives together than what am I still doing here?" Brie slipped her long black hair into a pony tail away from her face. She settled her face into her palms trying to figure out her next steps.
"I really think that you need to have this conversation with him no matter how hard it is going to be. You've sacrificed a lot moving across the country for him. So who's to say he shouldn't adjust some things in his life for you. I'm not saying he should change his beliefs for you but I'm saying he should consider your thoughts and feelings before you two decide anything," Brie said as she rubbed Nikki's back. "You know I'll always be here to listen." Brie smirked as she walked out of the dressing room.
Nikki sat and stared at the wall and sighed. She had no idea what to do. As she sat and thought some more she heard her phone vibrate.
"Nicole, please meet with the creative team in room 114 at 4:30 today. We have some important things to discuss. –Steph"
The sigh escaped her mouth once again. A text from a McMahon was never a good sign.
"Can you really blame her for being pissed at you? There are two things a girl wants in the world and you denied her of both. If I was her I would question everything too. I mean I gave Sam both. I married her and we have an amazing, beautiful daughter and still it didn't work. If she wants that with someone who's schedule is even crazier than her own and she wants all that, I don't understand why you aren't supporting that," Randy said angrily.
"Dude, you are literally in a more complex situation than I am. We're both divorced and you have a kid. You're saying that if there were a girl who could put up with all of the damage that Sam did that you would just restart your whole life?" John questioned.
"If a girl could deal with everything I have to bring to the table, the divorce, my daughter, my insane work schedule you better believe that I would give her whatever she wanted," Randy shook his head. He was still in disbelief a year later that his marriage was another statistic of failed marriages.
"I really just think that no matter what Liz was my soul mate. If it didn't work with her how could it ever work again?" John questioned as he propped his feet up on the bench opposite him.
"As dumb as it sounds to bring this in, 'When you know, you know' doesn't matter how damaged you are. When you know that its right, it is. I guess it's up to you to decide what you want. The ball is kind of in your court; she laid it all out for you. But it's time to pretend like we hate each other we gotta do that promo for TLC." Randy joked at the end.
"Yeah I know, don't mind me if I take out a little of this pent up anger on you," John joked as he grabbed his friends shoulder as they walked out of the locker room.
"I'll just take out on you and win that championship in a couple weeks," they both chuckled as they headed towards the entrance to the ring.
"There's nothing we can do to change this? Not at all?" Nikki questioned.
"I'm sorry Nikki, it's been decided by all of the members of the creative team that you be involved in a romantic storyline counteracting the real life relationship you currently are in with John Cena. I know this can cause personal issue but it has been discussed specifically with Stephanie McMahon and we have all decided that it is the best move for the company at this time," a member of the creative team announced with a very concerned Nikki Bella sitting at the opposite end of the meeting table.
"I understand. Thank you for this opportunity," Nikki tried her best to convey how grateful she was to be given such an involved storyline but her mind was still traveling elsewhere.
Interrupting her thoughts, there was a knock at the door. "Just one moment Nikki," the board member said as he walked to open the door. "Phil! Glad you could make it! C'mon in we're just finishing up here," he continued as he escorted CM Punk in. "I think it's proper that we meet with the both of you together as this storyline begins to develop," he smirked at Nikki.
As the two stood just inside the doorway, the rest of the creative team and Nikki stood staring as the board member introduced the superstar and diva. "Phil, this is Miss Nikki Bella. Nikki this is Phil. I can only assume you two have encountered each other once or twice in your time here."
Nikki stood as Phil made his way over to greet her. "Very excited to be working with you," Nikki said as she shook his hand.
"Likewise," Phil said abruptly as he pulled out the chair next to Nikki and sat down.
"Now we would like to start this storyline next week at RAW. I know this may not seem like the most convenient storyline but we would like to say that title chances will be on the line as we look ahead in the storyline. We are really hoping that the fans react well to this," the board member said to the two wrestlers.
Another board member stepped to the back of the room as he had received a call.
"I just don't understand why a romantic storyline is necessary right now? Brie and Bryan have their thing going and we all know that we're both seeing other people," Phil said smugly.
The board member who had received the call stepped forward. "Sorry to interrupt guys but there's been an accident we will fill you in on the situation further once we know more. But we need you both to leave. We'll be in touch," he said as he rushed to open the door for them.
Nikki and Phil glanced at each other briefly before standing up and leaving the meeting room.
Almost as quickly as they were asked to leave, when they reached the hallway the door was quickly shut behind them. Nikki sighed and shrugged as she walked away from the office door, afraid of the confrontation she would have to have with John about their personal issues as well as this new storyline that could only cause more issues in their already rocky relationship.
