Hi everyone! Just a quick update: Ariane and Trinity have replaced Jon (Dean Ambrose) and Joe (Roman Reigns) as two of the story's main characters because I realized they will be playing for significant roles than the rest of the Shield and because of their close friendship with Leah.

Hope you enjoy :)

Chapter 2

Leah just stared at the TV screen as if it was lying to her. When she felt tears begin to form, she left the lounge in hurry so the other girls wouldn't see her crying. Ariane and Trinity took one look at each other and nodded and then went after her.

When The Funkadactyls caught up to her, Trinity said, "Girl, come here," as they led her into a nearby closet.

"Did you both know he would be here tonight?" Leah asked immediately after the closet door closed, with the slightest bit of anger in her voice.

Ariane sighed. "We knew you wouldn't come if we told you he was going to be here. We didn't want you to throw away a huge career opportunity all because of him."

Leah shuddered at the fact that Colby has been in the same building as her this whole night, "I'm capable of making my own decisions!" Leah spat, "I-I can't do this. I have to tell Vince I quit." Leah headed to the door, but the Funkadactyls blocked her, "Let me leave."

"Leah!" Ariane began with obvious frustration in her voice, "You can't give up something you've been dreaming about for your whole life just because of him. Just because you work in the same place as him doesn't mean you need to talk to him– or even look at him!"

Leah sighed. She knew they were right. "Fine," she mumbled. She wiped the remaining tears away and then the girls left the closet and headed towards the locker room. When they arrived, they noticed Celeste waiting.

"Shoot, I forgot we were carpooling, sorry girl," Trinity said to Celeste.

Celeste noticed the obvious hurt and pain on Leah's face. She nodded. "No problem." She turned her attention towards Leah. "So did Vince or someone tell you we're rooming together?"

Leah smiled. Although she really didn't know Celeste, she could tell she was a sweet and caring woman. "Sounds fun," Leah replied. Celeste heard the hurt in Leah's voice and became curious. She decided she would ask her tomorrow morning at the hotel.

Leah woke up the next morning to the smell of eggs and bacon. She looked at the clock and groaned when she noticed it was six thirty. She wiped her eyes and headed into the kitchen.

"Good morning," Celeste greeted warmly.

"Morning," Leah replied groggily, wiping her eyes once again.

Celeste giggled. "Someone's not a morning person." There was a brief silence until Celeste said, "Breakfast's ready!" Celeste made two plate settings and handed one to Leah.

"Thanks," Leah said with a light smile. The girls sat in the living room and watched TV as they ate their breakfast. When they finished, Leah took both their plates to the kitchen and washed them.

"So Leah," Celeste began as she started pacing, "I don't really know if this is my place to ask, but what happened yesterday."

Leah froze for a moment and then sighed. "Do you mind if I crack open the bottle of wine?" she said in a serious tone. Although she only met Celeste yesterday, she felt like she already knew her like a close friend. They found out so much about each other yesterday.

"It's only seven in the morning." Celeste lightly chuckled until she realized Leah was being completely serious.

"Trust me," Leah began as she searched for glasses, "With this story, I need wine." There another brief silence until Leah found the glasses. "Found them!" she exclaimed gleefully. Celeste couldn't help but chuckle over Leah's happiness.

Leah poured both of them a glass. Leah almost immediately took a sip, "It was Colby. Colby Lopez," she began and then instantly took another drink, "When I was only fifteen and he was seventeen in high school, I went to one of our school's football games with Ariane and Trinity. During the game I saw him and I just couldn't stop staring at him. It was love at first sight. But what happened after the game was what made me fall in love with him," she paused to quickly clear her throat, "So anyways, after the game I was walking home when some guy tackled me down and tried to rape me. But, Colby happened to be around and he attacked him. He saved my life. He invited me over to his place so he could ice my eye so it wouldn't swell up. One thing led to another and we-" Leah took another pause to figure out a different way to say sex- and to take another sip of wine, "We had relations."

Celeste gasped and Leah felt the first of the many tears that would leak out of her eyes due to this story. Celeste quickly noticed and gave her the tissue box next to her. She took a tissue and wiped her eyes. She thanked Celeste and then continued, "A few weeks later, I found out I was pregnant."

Celeste nearly spit out her wine as Leah began tearing again. When she composed herself, she continued rolling along. "Over the next few months we became very close friends, but I decided that I would keep my pregnancy secret from him. One day, we, coincidentally, told each other we had something very important to tell each other, so he invited me over. When I arrived, I noticed he had a very romantic dinner set up. He told me he was in love with me. The dinner was actually quite nice."

Leah took another break to have a sip of her drink, but she realized her glass was empty. She lightly chuckled and poured herself another glass. She, once again, savored the taste of her wine. "So after the dinner, we decided on watching a movie. Only a few minutes into the movie, he told me he signed to an independent wrestling circuit across the country and he had to leave tomorrow. He wanted me to come with him. I immediately broke down and told him I couldn't go. He, of course, questioned why. So, I finally told him I was pregnant. At first, to my surprise, he was elated, but then he asked me how long I knew. I told him three months and his demeanor instantly changed on me. He, all of a sudden, went off on me. He thought that I thought he wouldn't understand. So, to no surprise, I fired back at him for being a huge hypocrite. I mean, I delayed in telling him I was pregnant, but he waited until the last very minute to tell me he was leaving. Should I pour you another glass?" She asked Celeste after noticing she ran out of wine. She nodded and thanked Leah as she poured her another glass.

"So anyways, he went on some rant about how that the baby was just not mine, but honestly, I tuned most of it out while thinking about what to say next. When he finally shut his mouth, I informed him that he would never meet his baby because I never wanted to see him again," Leah paused as she wiped away the tears streaming down her cheeks. Even Celeste was struggling to contain herself.

"But apparently, that wasn't it. Two years later, he was back in town for some wrestling tour thing, and I decided it was such a great idea to attend the show then go confront him afterwards," Leah said sarcastically, followed by a brief pause, "Well after the show, I saw him backstage taking some ring rat back into the locker room," Celeste lightly gasped. Leah quickly imbibed the rest of her wine before finishing, "He was too busy with some dirty slut to check up on me or his own child!" Leah started bawling. Celeste embraced her, trying to calm her down.

Celeste then realized something important. Where was Leah's child?

Ah what a very important question Celeste! So what does everyone think of the Leah and Celeste friendship?

I apologize if this chapter looks like it was written by a child (and that its very short). It was my second time typing it and honestly, I wasn't in the mood. I'll probably go through the chapter to edit it eventually.

A huge thanks to 1 Crazy Burnette Goddess and Dean'sDeadlySin for the reviews on chapter 1. Another huge thanks to anyone who followed and favorited. It means a lot to me :)
