Chapter 2: Ready to face them all?
Somehow Karolina made it back to her hotel room. She couldn't really remember how though. She was still too foggy-brained due to the whole situation.
She had been crying all night long. Asking herself questions that nobody could answer. She hit rock bottom.
She didn't know how things would go on from now on but she knew that she wouldn't leave this hotel room for at least the next two years.
She thought about the day before. It seemed that the whole roster was watching that damn video of Drew and her. How could she ever look into their eyes again? She was pretty sure that she was now postmarked as WWE's newest slut. What a great start…
There was a knock on the door that made Karo jump out of her skin. She didn't really want to see or speak to anybody. She just wanted to be left alone. Left alone in her misery. She tried to ignore it but the knocking continued. Karo had no chance but to get out of bed and see who was disturbing.
"You look horrible" Kaitlyn said as a matter-of-fact after Karo opened the door. How nice!
"It's great to see you too, K." She motioned for Kaitlyn to enter the room as she probably would not just leave again. Unfortunately.
"Ready for breakfast?" Karo just looked at Kaitlyn as if she were a ghost. Was she serious?
"Well…um…no?!" With that Karo threw herself back on the bed, trying to hide under the blanket.
"Now come on…I told you yesterday that you can't just hide in here until everyone forgets. To be honest, they won't. So don't make this too hard now." Exactly what Karo wanted to hear at that moment…NOT.
Kaitlyn was really giving her a hard time. She acted as if nothing had happened. Of course everything was just that easy for her. She simply wasn't involved.
And now she asked her to have breakfast in the hotel restaurant? Where all the other wrestlers and divas would be?
She didn't want to make a fool of herself once again. Therefore breakfast was not an option for her.
"Karo, get your ass up now. Or would you like me to call John? He sure as hell will get you out of here."
Since being with John Cena, Kaitlyn had become a whole different person. She was well-adjusted, happy…and enviable. Karo often wished she could be just as lucky as Kaitlyn was. She had everything Karo ever wanted: beauty, success and a wonderful man who loved her unconditionally.
"Why are you doing this to me, K? Apart from not wanting to go there, I'm not even hungry!"
Kaitlyn sighed. She knew this wasn't going to be easy but it was more difficult than she had expected it to be.
She looked at her friend and felt sympathy for her. She looked exhausted, tired and hurt. Drew would have to suffer for that. That was for sure.
"You won't leave without me, will you?" When Kaitlyn shook her head no, Karo sighed and finally managed to get out of bed.
"Give me 15 minutes…" And with that she made her way to the bathroom to get ready.
The shower felt great. She had to admit it. Actually she did not want to leave the shower ever again but when her skin started to shrivel, she knew it was time to get out.
She tried to hide the dark circles around her eyes with make-up but still insisted on wearing sunglasses. With these on she didn't have to look into the eyes of her fellow colleagues.
Karo was now standing in the elevator and was more than happy that Kaitlyn was by her side. Her heart was beating uncontrollably, her legs were shaky and her hands were sweating. The fear of being humiliated once again was killing her. She didn't know what she was most afraid of. Seeing Drew? His buddies? Or all of the others?
She knew for sure that the other divas hated her even more now. When she came to the WWE, the female wrestlers weren't really welcoming her. Only Kaitlyn and Natalya tried their best to make her feel comfortable.
For whatever reason, Eve was trying everything to get rid of Karolina. And maybe there was her chance now.
The sound of the gong told them that they had arrived on the first floor. Taking a deep breath, Karo took Kaitlyn's hand and together they went into the breakfast room.
Looking down most of the time, she simply followed her friend and hoped that she would find a table to sit at really soon.
"Good morning ladies!" It was John's voice which calmed her down for a brief moment. She looked up and saw into his face which showed her that he was sincerely feeling sorry for her.
Without saying a word, she sat down on one of the chairs and tried to scan the room for Drew and his buddies.
As she couldn't find them, she quickly got up to get something to eat before one of them showed up.
It was as if all eyes were on her that morning. She felt observed. Maybe she was just paranoid. Who knew?!
"Now look who's here? Mrs 'Take me from behind'…" Heath Slater and Jinder Mahal chuckled.
Karo hated them. She always had. Keep calm Karolina, keep calm. They are not worth it.
"Don't you have anything to say, sweetheart?" Heath was about to stroke her hair, mocking her. Karo really tried to compose herself but he was driving her nuts.
She was about to punch both of them in their faces when somebody suddenly grabbed her arm to keep her from doing so.
"You guys better fuck off now…" Karolina turned around to look at Seth Rollins who had just approached them.
Heath and Jinder looked at each other and laughed even harder. "Hey Rollins, didn't know you banged her as well."
The two guys really thought they were funny. But Seth didn't feel like having fun. He was staring at them sternly which even made Karo's blood run cold. He stepped up to Heath even closer and looked him straight in the eye, whispering. "I told you to fuck off, Slater. And I mean it!"
Heath and Jinder looked at him surprised, not knowing what Seth was up to and therefore left without saying another word.
"I don't need your help, Rollins!" Karo looked at him unemotionally. She didn't know that guy. And she didn't trust him. He and his buddies were new to the main roster and she had no idea what they were up to. She had watched them closely because she really liked their gimmick. And they were amazing wrestlers to say the least. But that did not change the fact that they were still strangers to her.
"They just needed someone to show them that women are to be respected…that's all." And with that being said he left.
Karolina looked after him and watched him sit down at the table with Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns who were staring at her intently.
She swallowed hard, put her plate on one of the tables and left the breakfast room as fast as she could.
She was confused. She wanted to be alone. Just leave!
