Wow this is a long chapter lol
Trapped [[chapter 4]]
Evan
started at Christian, it was now or never. He had to say what was on
his mind, what he spent hours memorizing. He took a deep breath, and
closed his eyes really tight. In a hushed voice, he quoted what he
worked so hard on:
"Nobody's
ever cared for me
Like you did
You kind of pulled me in
To
your arms and took care of me
I was afraid to see the real me
But you showed it was ok
For me to turn away
From the world
To face my fears
You were always by my side
Not afraid to show your stride
Not scared of what the world thought of you
It's ok now
You've left an impression in me
So I'll never forget you
For the rest of my life
This is the end of time
I've run out of lines
But I'll love you"
Evan took another deep breath and slowly opened his eyes. Christian's eyes were focused so hard on him; it was like he was looking into Evan's soul. Matt was speechless, and looking around, he saw Maryse coming toward him, in a hurry; he started towards her.
"You wrote that for me?" Christian asked, looking slightly confused. He didn't want to get his hopes up for nothing. John looked like he was going to cry from happiness.
"Great job!" he mouthed to Evan, who smiled with pride.
"Yes. I wrote it for you, Christian. Jeff and I were talking and he told me to write out my feelings. I felt it would be impersonal if I just wrote it on paper. So I read over it again and again, until I had it perfect…" He blushed, as he saw Christian smile sweetly.
"It was awesome, Evan… I mean… You wrote, then memorized this for me? That means so much more then you realize, thank you." Christian said, striding over to Evan and embraced him gently. "I love you too, Evan… I'm so glad you wrote that… I could've never written something like this, but I can't believe how much I agree… We think alike I guess." Christian said, laughing and petting Evan's head.

Maryse's heart skipped a beat whenever she saw Matt Hardy coming towards her. She bit her lip, not sure how to word what she was about to say. He smiled, continuing until he was standing right beside her. She smiled back at him, and waved.
"Hey Matt…" She said, her heart beating loudly. She was nervous, Maryse was never nervous, but this man… he made her feel so bubbly, so jittery… She loved it, she loved love.
"Hey Maryse. What's up? You looked like you were on a mission." Matt said, laughing, but he barely made eye contact with her, and he was blushing slightly.
"Matthew, I've recently made a discovery about myself. It is not Jeff Hardy I am in love with… But…" She looked at the ground, a wide smile on her face, "… You!" she said, looking up into his dark eyes.
He looked a little shocked, but he was relieved. "Maryse, you've just made me the happiest I've been in a long time." She blinked, then he reached out for her, pulling her close. He kissed her forehead, and wrapped his arms around her gently. "I love you too, Maryse… I was so afraid you didn't notice me because you seemed to like Jeff…" he trailed off.
Maryse giggled a little, "Nah… He's a little too wild for me. And when I heard he had a girlfriend, I thought my heart broke, but it actually grew! I realized I love you!"

Melina
looked around confused, she couldn't find anyone. She crept around
each corner until she saw the one person she really
didn't feel like dealing with. He was laughing at something, then
she saw her best friend and squealed. Christian was holding Evan, and
they were laughing with John about something. She didn't want to
interrupt but as she went to turn around Evan caught sight of her. He
ran down the hall and grabbed her arm, forcing her to walk towards
the others.
"Hey Mel. Have a nice nap?" Evan said, teasingly.
She glared at him, but smiled. "Glad to see you made up with… everyone." She said, refusing to actually point John out individually.
John cleared his throat, "I'm gonna go find Jeffrey. He seems distracted lately."
'Like he's gonna tell you his problems.' Melina thought, rolling her eyes. John felt a jab in his chest as he saw her eye roll from the corner of his eye. John walked away swallowing that horrible feeling, anytime he saw her, he felt like someone was stabbing his heart. He knew he couldn't fix things, she hated him. But he came to terms that whenever he found the right girl, he'd forget all about Melina. He walked away, going to find Jeff.
"What was that about?" Christian asked Evan, who was dragging Melina. He stopped at Christian's side.
"Yeah! Really, Melina, what was that about?" Evan said, crossing his arms over his chest. "John is my friend, too. I'm sorry things didn't work out between you guys and you know he still cars about you. You just crushed his heart…"
She looked at the floor. It was such a small gesture… she didn't think he would be that upset about it. Why it roused Evan up, she did not know. "I'm sorry, Evan… You shouldn't have to choose between me and him, just because we don't get along. You're my best friend, Evan! I didn't mean to hurt his feelings! I didn't think he'd be paying attention to me anyway, especially close enough to see that…"
"What did break you guys up?" Christian said, his arms crossed, staring at Melina waiting for a straightforward answer.
Melina sighed and slowly looked up, her eyes meeting Christian's. "Me and John didn't work out because, I decided I didn't love him anymore. I never did, then after I broke up with him he said those horrible things… And I've never forgiven him for it… He told me I wasn't worth his love anyway, that he only pretended to love me on camera for the fans." Melina broke down crying, she hated talking about this. It brought back so many memories, but no, she was done with John. She wanted nothing to do with him; it was just awful irony that her best friend was close friends with John.
Evan walked over to her and hugged her. Christian just nodded and stared at the ground, he remembered hearing some of those words repeated by the other superstars. Poor Melina had been the talk of the company, which only made it hurt worse. Here she had finally sealed those feelings away but they had been awakened.
"How about we get our things then head to the gym, since it's the only place with carpet, and call it a night?" Christian said, putting a hand on Evan and Melina's shoulder. They both nodded and headed for their locker rooms. Melina was silent the whole way to the gym, she laid on the floor, using her bag as a pillow and drifted off to sleep.
Evan looked at her, frowning, and sighed. "She looks kinda depressed…" He whispered to Christian.
"Shh…" He said, kissing Evan's forehead, gently. "Let her dream…"
Evan smiled sadly, and wrapped his arms around Christian's neck and buried his face in the older man's chest.
Christian sat on the floor and pulled Evan down with him; he positioned them so Evan's head rested on his shoulder. Next thing he knew, Evan was asleep, it wasn't 10 minutes later that he had drifted off to sleep. It had been a very long day for each of them.

Instead of running into Jeff, John found Beth walking towards him, he smirked. Beth rolled her eyes and crossed her arms.
"Hey, Beth…" He said, stepping closer. She shifted her weight but continued staring at him. "Can't take your eyes off me? Psh. I know."
Beth rolled her eyes, "You aren't as good looking as you think you are." She smiled a little.
"Hah. You're cute when you smile. But you know, it's all in the confidence. If you believe you are hot, others will think of you as hot."
She looked at him, considering what he said. There was some truth to that, but she wasn't about to admit it to him.
"Right… That's why the other Divas prance around wearing barely any clothing." Beth never fit in with the other divas because of this fact.
John looked at her with caring eyes, "But it's even better whenever a Diva hides more of her body. Leaves room for some imagination." He grinned, "Honestly… Guys get tired of seeing that. Sometimes we just need someone who isn't constantly flaunting herself. I find it attractive."
Beth blushed a little. "Well, it's wrong for a woman to have to flaunt herself to get anywhere in life…" she looked at the floor.
John yawned, "Let's go find Jeff. Then we can get to know each other better." He grinned and started walking away from her. He stopped and made sure she was following him.
"I know I'm not as hot as the other Divas." Beth said, and started walking past John.
"What!" He yelled and ran up to her. "You are much hotter then all of those girls."
"John, you are full of shit. I'm not going to sleep with you because you keep complimenting me." Beth said, continuing to walk away.
John ran up in front of her and put his hands on her shoulders. He sighed and looked deep into her eyes, "I'm not complimenting you because of that." He sighed again, "Since me and Melina broke up… Well… I've had this consistent feeling in my chest, like someone stabbing my heart… But… Whenever I'm around you… that feeling goes away…"
Beth stared at him, confused. She wasn't exactly sure what he was trying to say. It seemed like he liked her, but she didn't want to get her hopes up. "What are you saying, Morrison?" She asked, slightly annoyed.
He closed his eyes, looking for the word he'd been afraid of since the break up. "I… I…" He bit his lip, this was a bad idea, he was coming off way too strong. He dropped his arms, looking at the floor.
Beth started tearing up, "John… Tell me…" She leaned down so she could look into his eyes. "I promise not to hurt you." She laughed a little.
"I… was going to stay… Well… I feel emotionally drawn to you… I mean I feel this connection and when I see you, you're all I see…" John looked up at her slowly.
She was smiling and blushing, "John… I really like you…" She put her arms around his neck and looked into his sweet eyes.
"Awesome." He said, grinning, his usual cocky attitude back. He wrapped his arms around her waist tightly. "How about we go to the gym room too? I'm pretty sure that's where Evan and Christian were going… You must be really tired…" He said, moving his right hand under her chin.
She giggled, "Okay. Then maybe when we finally get out of here we can go on a date."
"Yes! Oh wait… We have to go find Jeff. Then we can sleep. But yes! We are going on a date as soon as those doors are unlocked!" John said, grabbing the blonde woman's hand and leading her down the hall.
It didn't take long to find Jeff, he was still on his phone arguing with someone. Beth bit her lip, maybe she shouldn't have given Jeff his phone back. He'd been stressed out enough without it.
"We can work this out! I'll quit if I have to, Beth!" Jeff said, pacing quickly, not even noticing the couple watching him.
"I don't care if it's my dream! If I have to pick between you and wrestling, I pick you!" Jeff was starting to get impatient. John couldn't blame him, why wouldn't that be what she wanted to hear?
"Yes, I'll talk to Vince first thing tomorrow. Then catch the first plane back home. I know I can use a break too, but really this is for you." Jeff said, smiling now. "I love you too… Talk to you tomorrow." He hung up, grinning now.
"So everything is okay now?" the most dominant diva in the WWE said, walking over to him, he jumped.
He quickly recovered. "Yes! I'm so happy, man, I can't wait to get out of here… I'm gonna discuss taking a little break tomorrow, spend some time with my lady, patch things up; and I won't have to give up my dream or my love."
"I'm so glad you guys agreed on this… You looked horrible earlier. John and I were just about to call it a night. Everyone's sleeping in the gym room, because of the carpet. You coming?" Beth asked, smiling at Jeff.
"Yeah, I'm beat. It's been a stressful day…" Jeff said, following the couple back to the gym room.
Jeff chuckled when he saw Evan and Christian snuggling in the corner. He put his bag down and was instantly asleep.
Beth sat down next to John, "I'm glad you stopped me…" She said blushing.
John looked at her confused, "Why's that?"
"I would've done something stupid if you let me go. So thank you." She threw her arms around his neck and brushed her lips against his. He kissed her back, smiling.
"We should get some sleep…" He said, laying down, Beth joined him. He scooted closer and she put her head on his chest, sighing contently.
"Goodnight…" John said, kissing her forehead. Before he knew it she was asleep, he chuckled.

"I don't really know… it literally just hit me!" Maryse said, giggling. "It never made sense as to why I would like Jeff, but when he said he had a girlfriend, I respected that! It made me realize Jeff and I aren't compatible at all!"
Matt laughed and wrapped his arms around her. She was his dream come true. He tried to stifle a yawn but couldn't help it… he got up at 5:00 this morning and it was now… 1:00 in the morning, he'd almost gone 24 hours with no sleep. He couldn't help it, Maryse had distracted him, and he didn't care. "I think it's time for bed, babe…"
Maryse pouted a little, but agreed. She was having a hard time keeping her eyes open anyway. Matt was laying down on a bench in the locker room, Maryse was sitting with her back against the bench, he had his arms around her still. He thought for a minute, "Do you toss in your sleep? Because I'm thinking a bench isn't the safest place to sleep…" Matt said, Maryse laughed.
"You're right… Maybe we should go find where everyone else is." She stood up.
"Gym room, the only place with carpet of course." Matt said, smiling. Jeff had texted him, telling him to meet them there. Matt stood up, picked up his and Maryse's bags and walked towards the door, Maryse ran up to him and wrapped her arm around his. They made their way down to the gym room and were instantly asleep in each others arms.
