A/N: ALRIGHT, I KIND OF GOT INSPIRED TO WORK ON THIS STORY, DREW IS AMAZING AND I DON'T KNOW WHY I WANTED TO WRITE HIS STORY BEFORE THE OTHERS BUT I DID. I DO HAVE ONE OTHER DREW STORY THAT NEEDS TO BE WROTE BUT FIGURED THE SEQUEL MUST BE WRITTEN FIRST BEFORE THAT ONE. IT MAY NOT BE AS LONG AS THE OTHER ONE NOR AS GOOD AS THE OTHER ONE SINCE IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE I WROTE 'THE EMPIRE MAY CRUMBLE' BUT THAT IS UP TO YOU. I ONLY GOT ONE CHAPTER DOWN FOR NOW BUT IT'S SOMETHING.
I ALSO RECOMMEND THAT YOU READ 'THE EMPIRE MAY CRUMBLE' BEFORE THIS STORY BUT WHAT DO I KNOW? YOU COULD PROBABLY READ THIS WITHOUT READING THAT ONE BUT WHATEVER FLOATS YOUR BOAT.
I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDES THE OC'S.
~Flashback~
Julie's Point of View-
"Did you see that?" Drew asked as I was confused as he pointed towards the doorway that we had extied as I looked over seeing 'Julie Bennett' cursively written above the door in white.
"When did that happen? I didn't do that." I said as I just stared at it.
"I don't know…." Drew said.
"I definitely wouldn't have put my name…"
"Why not?" Drew asked.
"I just never really liked Bennett as a last name…" I said shrugging as I couldn't draw my eyes away from my name, this hall now had my name on it and it was something I could call mine.
"What about Galloway?"
"It's an okay last name, at least for you." I said.
"What about for you? Would you like the last name Galloway?" Drew asked as I turned to look at him confused.
"What are you getting at Drew?" I asked.
"I'm getting at, I would like to change your name…you know how that's done right?"
"Is this your goofy way in proposing to me?" I asked letting out a few chuckles thinking he was joking.
"Kind of." He said as he broke his hand grip from mine pulling out a small box popping it open seeing a ring inside that had a diamond, "Will you marry me?" Drew asked.
"You being for real right now? I'm in no mood for jokes." I said as Drew slid off the bench to one knee holding out the box.
"I'm being 100% serious…please say yes." Drew said as the tears streamed out of my eyes wiping at them as I reached out pulling his face to mine for a kiss and leant my forehead against his.
"Yes. Drew, yes!" I said smiling as he stood up and he pulled me to my feet wrapping his arms around my waist pulling me to his embrace and wrapped my arms around his neck happily, this night couldn't have ended any better than this. I glanced to the name that was written above the door smiling as I stepped back from Drew's embrace as my hands rested flatly on his chest as Drew followed my gaze. "They would need to change that soon to Julie Galloway…" I said as I smirked as it rolled off my tongue as I looked back to Drew, "I like it better than Bennett." I said smiling as I leant forward pressing my lips to his.
Current Day-
Julie's Point of View-
I sat on my bed looking at the ring that was resting on my finger, I let out a sigh in disbelief that I was now engaged to be the future Mrs. Galloway and this seemed like everything was going fast but I still loved Drew, the whole hating them was only a mistake because Wade was being his selfish protective self that he always has been.
"Julie!" I heard Wade yelled throughout the house.
"I'm in my room." I yelled back as I knew that he was just arriving home from physical therapy on his elbow, he's been having Stephan take him instead of me lately for some odd reason but hey it was less gas that I had to waste on my car and it gave me time to be alone from him and to think about the wedding I had to plan with Drew. I heard his footsteps getting closer to my room when I saw him reappear in his bright yellow soccer jersey he had chosen to wear that day.
"Hey, what are you doing just sitting there? Don't you have stuff you need to be doing like packing?" Wade asked as I shrugged.
"I don't know, I just kind of zoned out I guess." I said as I heard Wade sighed as he walked in sitting down next to me on the bed and felt him pat at my knee.
"I know that you are probably thinking a lot of marrying Drew, huh? It is scary thinking of marriage huh?" Wade asked as I looked over at him nodding as Wade smiled and chuckled, "Julie, do you have any doubts that you two aren't meant for each other? As much as I hated seeing you two together the first time I found out because it's my job to protect you from pain, hurt and other things, I can see how much love you two have for each other. It may be a lot of planning but you have been planning your wedding since you were three, I can remember you walking around in this princess dress up mom and dad bought you along with stealing those bath flower things from their room throwing them as you walked down the hall back to your room humming the music, it may be a big step in your relationship but things are changing for you right now Julie…you are growing up so fast and I am in disbelief…" Wade said as I smirked as I glanced to Wade.
"Thanks Wade…just feel like what if it doesn't work out, you know? Where will I go?" I asked him as he wrapped his arm around me pulling me into his embrace feeling him kissing the top of my head.
"You always got a place with me, okay? Maybe not a place for that Scottish goon but you will have a place if I have a place, okay?" Wade asked as I chuckled and smiled.
"Okay, okay." I said.
"Now pack, the guys are waiting for you." Wade said as I nodded as I stood up and grabbed the bag I hadn't used in what seems like forever and pulled onto an empty spot on my bed.
"Are you going to be okay here by yourself?" I asked concerned as he nodded.
"Yeah, I got most of full use back in it, and just strengthening it at therapy so I will be able to take care of myself." Wade said as I nodded as I started packing my things that I would need for the weekend back on tour, nervous about going but anxious to get back into the ring and get back to work since I've been away from it for what seems like too long. "So, I talked to Drew and he said okay to it and said to ask you, I…I um called a couple chapels here in town to go view for a possible wedding location and was hoping we can go look at them next week since that would be my last week of therapy hopefully then all of us will be back on the road and won't have the proper time to get all of us back together." Wade asked as I smirked as I glanced to him and chuckled.
"I'm more than okay with it Wade."
"Why was there a chuckle?" Wade asked curiously as I smirked as I looked to him staring at his hazel eyes.
"Because, you were so opposed to us that you came up with whole elaborate lie to break us up which you successfully did and now you are more hyped about planning our wedding than I am." I said as he smirked.
"I can't help it, I'm the best man or maid of honor, whichever one of you asks me first."
"Maid of honor? You going to wear a dress and stand next to me." I asked as he smirked and chuckled.
"Yes, I can make a very pretty girl." Wade said as we both laughed as he and I talked as I finished packing and he rolled my bag out to the car that Stephan and Drew were patiently waiting in for me as Drew climbed out of the car and met me half way to the car as I felt him reach out grasping my hip pulling me closer as he grabbed my hip with his other hand.
"Hey baby, you look beautiful like always today." Drew said in a whisper as his hair fell onto the sides of his face and some of mine as he tried to rest his forehead with mine.
"Thank you, you look might good yourself. You know how much I love those jeans on you don't you?"
"That's why I wore them, wait until we get to the hotel room." He said as I blushed and he chuckled as he leant in giving me a kiss on the lips as I smiled into the kiss as I wrapped my arms around his neck.
"If you guys continue being lovey dovey we are going to miss our flight and try to explain that to Vince." Stephan said as I chuckle when the kiss broke.
"We'll finish this later…" I said as I patted Drew lightly on his firm muscular chest as he smiled and nodded as he walked over to the car pulling the door open for me even though I wasn't ready to climb in.
"Are you sure you are okay with me going?" I asked turning to Wade worried about my brother being alone with his elbow still being the way it is.
"Yes Julie, I am a grown man, I can take care of myself and will be fine." Wade said trying to reassure me, "I will call you first if I need anything or what not."
"I'll be on the first plane back if that happens, okay?" I said as he nodded.
"Now, go before you are out of a job missy." Wade said as he gave me a big bear hug and I wrapped my arms around him tightly. "Love you Julie, be safe out there and kick ass." Wade whispered.
"Love you too Wade." I said as the hug broke and I climbed into the car and buckled up as Drew shut the door for me seeing Drew gave Wade a manly hug before he joined us in the car as Stephan drove us to the airport. Going through the steps of checking in and going to the terminal all seem like a second nature, even though I hadn't done it in a while it was still normal to me and something that I am used to by now but yet I was nervous going back to work oddly, I think I have been used to having time off and doing things regardless if it meant helping Wade with the recovery of his elbow or not, it was time away from the road and everyone. I slightly missed being able to see everyone's faces but yet I don't miss it, the risk or fear of me being the next person with a severe injury that could put you out of matches for weeks or months like Wade or if I'm going to have a stiff neck or stiff back or if I didn't stretch enough and my legs or knees kill me when I walk to cause me to limp. I began to think of those effects on Drew, we both love what we do and I don't want either of us to give it up but I also happen to want to marry him and I know I will be worrying about him more than I already do every time he steps into the ring even though I know the chances of him getting hurt are slim to none but the chances are still a risk. I also began to think what if we want to have kids in the future, I can't put my body on the line when I'm pregnant and when I give birth, what will we do then? WWE doesn't have a travelling daycare and it's chaotic backstage as it is and I don't know if anyone will have the time to be able to watch a little rugrat where we are doing our own thing nor is it their job. I guess I was just sitting there staring blankly ahead of me with all these thoughts when I felt Drew kiss at my temple.
"What's on your mind?" Drew asked as I smirked glancing over to him as I felt him brushing his fingers through my hair.
"Just thinking about things." I said shrugging.
"What kind of things? They must be very intense." Drew said as I sighed as I looked to him.
"Just thinking about this whole going back to work and our marriage." I said truthfully.
"What about those things? You aren't having second guesses are you?" Drew asked as I shook my head no.
"Just, I'm afraid that I'm not ready to go back. This all seems so normal and second nature but afraid to get back into the ring because what if I have ring rust or I get injured? I can't risk being out for another so many months and I know we got new talent, they aren't going to know who I am or anything. Then when we get married, I'm going to worry so much more about you than I already do because you are going to be my husband."
"The worries will never subside, that is what you get for falling in love with someone sweetie and I can't help that your love chose me, like I can't help that my love chose you. I trust you to make sure that you will perform so accurately and that the other female talent will perform well enough that no incidents or accidents happen to either one of you, it's all about trust. You trust the talent, right? You trust Stephan to wrestle me? You trust Wade…well now you do, but what about everyone else? We were all trained to do this and well enough to limit or diminish the amount of injuries that occur, freak accidents do happen but those worries will be there regardless of how many precautions we take sweetie. I will be there for you every step of the way for your recovery if god forbid that occurs and I'm sure you feel the same way. We will take whatever is handed or thrown at us. I love you Julie." Drew said as I smiled at Drew, he always knew what to say as he gave me a soft kiss on the lips to reassure what he said, "As for the new talent, they are all nice and they will love you. It was like your first day at work or school, just introduce yourself, that is how any relationship starts." Drew said as he was right as I nodded as he grabbed my hand interlacing his fingers with his as we waited for our flight to be called to board and that is always the longest wait ever to do during our travelling times for work. We boarded the flight and flew to where we needed to go for the show, I was unsure if I would even be able to work since I had to get a check-up with the trainers to make sure that I am up to par to perform which I don't see why I won't be and then I have to see the creative team to see if they would be able to find a spot for me on the card or work me into whatever storyline the diva's are having at the time or if they could put me as a valet or something to get me back on air time. We landed and headed through the airport to the baggage claim as I was turning my phone on during the process so I could call Wade. I listened to the phone ring waiting for him to answer and it only took a couple of rings before I heard the phone click on.
"Hello?" I heard Wade say on the other end.
"Hey Wade, we landed and letting you know we are here safely. How are things over there?"
"I'm having this big wild party, it's fantastic." Wade said sarcastically as I chuckled.
"You are such an asshole." I said as Wade and I chuckled.
"Everything is going fine, you don't need to call and check in with me. I trust that you are in good hands and you are a grown woman."
"Are you sick or running a fever?" I asked knowing that Wade is usually never like this.
"No, I'm just coming to realizations about you aren't a little girl anymore or a baby." Wade said as I smirked.
"I'm glad of that, but is it weird I miss that?"
"No, you are just used to it but you are a woman and you will get used to it, we are still going to be close but you don't have to report to me every minute."
"I will get used to it sooner than later, well I'll call you after the show or something…" I said as I heard the siren going off for our claim.
"Alright, be careful, have fun but not too much fun." Wade said as I chuckled.
"I won't, have fun and don't overdo it with your elbow." I said as I could tell Wade rolled his eyes at me.
"Love you and good night." Wade said as I chuckled as I hung up the phone with you before I watched closer to the bags until I noticed mine going to claim it before I stepped aside waiting for Stephan and Drew to claim their bags when they appeared before we went to rent a car for the weekend travels before we found the rental and headed to the arena for the night's show.
