We had now been in the WWE for a few months. Matt had racked up victories as well as taken some loses. I was immensely proud of him regardless. So far I was yet to wrestle but I still trained hard. I knew the day would come and I wanted to be ready when it did. Matt surprised me telling me his next opponent was Kane.
The authority Kane was long gone replaced by the demon he always was. He was as terrifying as ever and was winning most of his matches. So far Matt hadn't met him in the ring. I was thankful for that and secretly maybe Matt was too. I knew it could and probably would eventually happen though I prayed it wouldn't.
Matt assured me he wasn't concerned and could handle himself. But right after that he said something different. "Listen Addie I don't think it's a good idea for you to be at ringside tonight. "What? I asked. I thought you said you weren't worried. "I'm not so worried about me but it could be dangerous for you. Who knows what Kane could do? "Yeah Matt but you're his opponent not me. I don't think he is going to be concerned with me at ringside. Especially considering you are his opponent.
"You never know Matt said. I just want to make sure your safe out there. What kind of man would I be if I had my girlfriend out there in harm's way? "You are an amazing man I reasoned. And you're my boyfriend that I want to be out there supporting tonight. I kissed him as I spoke. Please let me be out there with you tonight? He chuckled "fine but if something happens you run backstage alright? "Yes I said in confirmation.
Not to long after we made our way toward the gorilla position. "Well if it isn't Matt who thinks he's the future". Seth Rollins smirked as he held his championship on his shoulder. Look Matt I am the future and I know I am. And right now you don't even have the time for the future. You have to get through Kane tonight. Matt Bristled "I will get through Kane tonight and I will show you who the future is. Rollins laughed slightly "just don't embarrass yourself in front of your pretty little girlfriend.
He winked at me before walking off. I touched Matts shoulder in support. Truth be told Matt had somewhat changed in the past few months. He was winning more than he lost which was good. He had become more serious and focused. This was not necessarily a bad thing. But he focused a bit more on his failures. He took them hard and if I said you win some you lose some he got angry.
He also seemed to care less about time we spent together. Of course we traveled together and worked together. So distance was not a bad thing. But now that he did decide this I was regretting making no friends. After what happened against Team Bad all those months ago, Matt suggested not being friends with the other divas. I nodded and smiled if I passed them, but had never made any real effort to get to know them.
I pushed my thoughts behind me as we made our way to the ring. I ushered to the outside as Matt asked. For a second it was quiet and I jumped as Kane's music hit. He wore his mask and was scarier that way. I had a conscious fear he could come to attack me, even though I knew that was stupid. He made his way into the ring. I had confidence in Matt but I was scared for him. As the match began Matt held himself pretty well. But Kane soon had the upper hand.
He gave Matt a nasty Irish whip sending him off the turnbuckle to the floor below. I ran to his side to check on him. He gripped his shoulder in pain. "Im okay he assured me. I looked up to see Kane walking our way. I instinctively stood up and stepped back out of the way. I wanted to help him somehow but knew I was powerless. Kane pulled him inside the ring choke slammed him and got the pin. I waited until Kane left the ring to go check on him. He surprised me by jerking my hand away from him.
He then stepped out of the ring without me. I was shocked what had I done? I followed him earnestly. "Matt what's wrong? "I just lost the match what do you think is wrong? he said hatefully. "You tried your best I reasoned. There's nothing for you to be ashamed of. "Yeah I shouldn't be ashamed but you should. I couldn't believe it he had to be kidding. I looked for a sign he was but found nothing.
"What do you mean I should be ashamed? "You just left me high and dry out there. You should have been in the ring checking on me. "I was I defended remember? "Yeah like five minutes after the match ended. "You have got to be kidding me Matt! Kane was still in the ring I was not going to just go in there. Besides you were the one telling me to stay away from him. "You know what how about you just find your own hotel to sleep in tonight? With that he walked off leaving Addie stunned.
What was his problem exactly? What could he truly be mad at her about? She felt tears in her eyes, though she wasn't sure if from confusion or anger. "Is everything alright? Addie turned to see Seth Rollins looking at her with concern. His normally cocky and jerk attitude gone. "Im fine Addie lied. "You don't look fine Seth observed. "Look its fine thanks for asking. She fled quickly planning to begin her search for a hotel room.
