Chapter 2: Goodbye Celeste
January 7, 2014 (Smackdown, January 10, 2014)
Jade sat in her locker room, watching in worry as the Main Event tapings were almost done. Celeste was having her last WWE match against AJ and Jade knew it wouldn't end well. At least Jade wasn't alone in the room; watching with her was Impact Wrestling developmental wrestler and Celeste's soon-to-be husband, Trevor Markovich.
"Don't worry, Jade. I'm sure it'll be fine." Trevor put his hand on Jade's shoulder.
Jade turned to Trevor and asked, "Trevor, when Celeste told you she was done with wrestling, what did you think?"
"I honestly didn't know what to think at first." Trevor answered. "But if that's what she wants to do I won't stop her. She wants to do other things you know."
Jade simply nodded and turned back to the TV. She groaned as AJ got the win. She nearly teared up when AJ attacked Celeste and left her in the ring. Eventually Celeste was able to get out of the ring. By then, Jade was crying.
"She can't go out that way!" Jade cried.
Celeste arrived in the room and put her arm around Jade, "It's okay, Jade. I'll be fine."
Jade stood up and hugged her mentor, "I still can't believe you're going!"
Celeste looked straight at Jade, "Jade, listen to me. You made a promise to both me and yourself before you debuted last night that you were going to fix things around here. Focus on that, not me, and you'll be one of the best female wrestlers here."
Jade took a breath, "I know I made a promise, and I will keep it."
"I know you will. I trust you to fill my shoes." Celeste said. With Trevor looking the other way, Celeste changed into her street clothes. "You ready to go, honey?" She asked Trevor once she was ready.
"Yeah." Trevor said standing up.
Jade gave Celeste one last hug, "I'll miss you!"
"Don't worry, I'll keep in touch." Celeste hugged her back.
Jade turned to Trevor and pointed at him, "Take care of her."
"I will." Trevor nodded. "Don't forget that our wedding's in May. Be there."
"I will for sure." Jade said.
"Well, guess this is goodbye for now, Jade." Celeste said.
"Yeah, goodbye for now…" Jade said in a low tone.
Celeste and Trevor held each others hands and used their other hands to carry their bags and they headed out of the room. Jade almost fell down and cried, but she was able to hold in the tears and sit back down. The Smackdown tapings started with The Usos going against Harper and Rowan as Jade took out her sketchbook. She looked inside of it, showing pages of various anime characters she drew, including Pokemon. She ended at a clean page and picked up her pencil and began to draw.
"Besides Celeste, why am I here tonight?" Jade thought. "I was supposed to have a segment where I introduce myself, but apparently the writers cancelled it at the last minute and told me to wait until Raw. Should I just leave since I'm not needed? …Nah, I'll stay a few minutes, just to see if anything interesting happens."
A few minutes later, Jade was about halfway done drawing a picture of the Pokemon Froakie in her sketchbook when she saw a stagehand at the door.
"Miss Eckrich? You have a backstage segment in a few minutes." He said.
Jade stood up, a little confused. She wasn't informed of a segment. Although she knew that if it had to do with Divas, she would attack them. She walked down the hall until she saw The Funkadactyls attack Summer Rae.
"This must be it." Jade thought. Therefore she ran over, grabbed Cameron by the hair and threw her against the wall. She did the same to Naomi, but instead kneed her face and threw her on the ground. She looked down at Summer and offered her hand. Summer cautiously grabbed at Jade's hand and was slowly pulled back up. A smile was about to appear on Summer's face when Jade suddenly Speared her down. Flipping her hair back and looking at the Divas, a smirk appeared before she walked off camera.
"At least I did something today." Jade said, smiling a little bit. She got back into the locker room and resumed her drawing.
A while later, Jade was still drawing when she saw Randy Orton defeat Big E in his match. What she saw after that got her attention. A girl with short brown hair ran into the ring and attacked Randy, looking down at him with a dark look. Jade knew who this girl was from Celeste; that was Chelsea Benoit. Chelsea was one of the few women who won the United States title and the WWE title. Jade had to admit, Chelsea was one heck of a fighter, really rare to see around WWE girls these days. But what Jade also knew was that Chelsea was married to Sheamus, one of WWE's top stars. That got Jade a bit suspicious.
Once her mind was off of that, she took out her journal and was about to write today's entry when she noticed someone standing at the doorway. It was Joe, dressed in his Shield gear.
"Hey. What are you doing standing there for?" Jade asked.
"Just wanted to see what you were doing." Joe admitted. He walked into the room.
"And why are you interested in what I'm doing?" Jade asked with a slight chuckle.
"I just want to get to know my new friend more." Joe laughed a little.
Jade chuckled a little as well. Plus she couldn't help but smile as she looked at him; his long black hair, those strong arms, that sexy looking tribal tattoo on his arm- "Whoa whoa!" Jade stopped herself. "He's only a friend! Why are you thinking like that already?!"
Joe looked over and saw Jade's sketchbook, "You draw?"
Jade nodded, "Yeah. When I'm not wrestling I either draw, read, or write. I write poems and short stories whenever I feel bored."
"You sound creative." Joe commented. "Mind if I take a look inside your sketchbook?"
"If you don't mind anime drawings, go ahead." Jade said.
Joe opened up the sketchbook and looked at Jade's drawings. "Wow, these are really good. How long have you been drawing anime?"
"I started when I was ten and… I just loved drawing anime. All the details, all the fun shapes, it's my favorite art style." Jade said. "Some people say anime isn't art, but I say what are they thinking."
Joe closed the book, "You really do have a creative mind. Well I better get going, our match is up soon."
"Good luck out there." Jade called out.
"Thanks." Joe smiled. Jade spotted him giving her a wink before heading out.
"Did he just wink at me?" Jade thought to herself. "Nah… I was just seeing things." Jade grabbed her journal and began writing.
January 7th, 2014
Main Event and Smackdown tapings happened tonight. It was Celeste's last match in WWE and it didn't go too well with AJ winning and then attacking her in the end. And apparently I found out when I arrived that my segment for introducing myself has been moved to Raw, so all I did tonight was attack Summer Rae and the Funkadactyls. Not much to talk about here, but at least I did something. Plus I did talk to my new friend Joe Anoa'i, also known as Roman Reigns in the ring. He seems like a nice guy and was interested in my drawings, he said I had a creative mind. Eh, I have my highs and lows. Well, guess I'll have to wait until Raw for more action.
Jade put her journal and sketchbook into her backpack and headed out of the arena.
Poor Jade being sad about Celeste leaving. But she did make a promise. What will happen on Raw?
