Chapter 4: "Fairytales & Midnight Angels":

Finally the show was over & everyone but the construction crew's job was done.
Makaela, Matt, Jeff & Tania were walking down the corridors to the exit, When Makaela struck up the conversation.
"Hey guys got any plans tonight?" she asked
"No, I don't…" Matt said
"Us either…" Jeff said, with Tania agreeing
"Well I promised Koriana I'd go see her tonight at the Bar & Grill she works at, y'all want to come?"
"Yeah sure I could go for a burger & beer…" Matt said rubbing his stomach
"Yeah that sounds great I haven't seen Kori in forever!" Tania said as they got in the rental car
"Great! I'll drive…" Makaela said getting in the driver seat
"oh god, be gentle Kaela, we're sensitive…" Jeff said from the back after putting his seat belt on unusually tight
"You guys I'm not that bad of a driver…" She said as she peeled out of the parking lot, laughing at Matt, Jeff & Tania's faces.

CM Punk's POV:

Punk & his long time best friend Scott Colton (Colton Cabana/Scotty Goldman) walked down the halls of the arena toward the exit.
"God I'm sore as fuck, sometimes I hate being a jobber…" Scott said rubbing his sore neck
"So you'd rather be like me & be a wrestler & still get your ass kicked from time to time…" Punk laughed.
"Exactly like that." Scott said sarcastically to his friend
"Well are you too sore to get some grub or do I have to roll alone tonight? I'm starving." Punk said as his stomach growled.
"Yeah I could go for something, want to hit up that bar & grill we saw on our way in?" Scott asked as they got into their rental car.
"Yeah that sounds good, you remember about where it is?" Punk asked
"Yeah about." Scott said pulling out of the parking lot
"Good." Punk said letting himself relax into the seat. Letting Makaela consume his thoughts.
"Hey man, did you get a chance to meet the new road assistant?" Scott asked his friend, causing Punk to look at him.
"I think so, her name's Makaela right?" Punk said playing coy
"Yeah, she's fucking hot man, I wonder if she's single…" Scott said making Punk a little jealous
"I hope so…" Punk mumbled under his breath
"what was that?" Scott asked
"Nothing she's just the girl I met on the plane…"
"No way! That's the girl? Damn no wonder you can't forget about her." Scott said
"Yeah, I tried to make my move tonight dude…"
"And what she say?"
"She turned me down, I don't know why, but it's like she's very guarded by this walls & she keeps me at arms length…"
"Maybe you're just a douche or you smelled bad…"
"Fuck off, I was insanely sweet to her & I did not smell bad."
"Dude maybe you should just let it go…"
"I don't know man maybe…" punk said staring out of the window, thinking about what he could do to get Makaela's attention. Soon they pulled up at the sports bar & grill.
"Let's go get some grub man…" Scott said getting out the car
"Yeah…" Punk said getting out

Makaela's POV:

Makaela ran up to her friend Koriana
"Kori!"
"Kaela!"
They two hugged each other for a few seconds.
"It's great to see you girl!"
"You too chicka, Kori you know Tania, I'd like you to meet Matt & Jeff Hardy…" Makaela said pointing at each of the brothers.
After Koriana hugged Tania, she shook Jeff, and then Matt's hand as Matt looked her up & down, licking his lips slightly.
"Pleasure to meet you two, Makaela & Tania have told me so much about y'all."
"Pleasure is all ours…" Matt said placing a small kiss on the back of Koriana's hand.
"Um, ook, well, if y'all want you can have a seat anywhere & I'll be with you in one second…" Koriana said walking away whipping her hand on her pants.
'Blek, he's a bigger douche then I would've took him for' Koriana thought to herself walking off to take an order to one of the other tables filled with wrestlers.

Makaela, Tania, Matt & Jeff sat down at a table, that's when Makaela started smacking Matt.
"Ow, hey, hey, hey down girl…" Matt said trying to block her smacks to his arm, back, chest & head
"Quit hitting on my friend & I will…" Makaela said
"I can't promise anything…" Matt said watching Koriana move around, her hair clipped up, in a Tarheels jersey tied up exposing a small amount of her tummy, in tight light blue faded jeans. His thoughts were interrupting by Makaela trying to wrap her tiny hands around his neck.
"Hey, hey ok, ok, down hot head…I won't do anything else tonight I promise…" Matt said holding his hands up in surrender
"Good…" Makaela said smiling, pleased with herself for defending her friends honor

"I'm going to the bar to get a beer…" Matt said getting up
"I'm watching you…" Makaela said shooting him a look
"Ha, ha you're great Kaela; you might have a future as a diva…" Jeff said
"Meh I doubt it…" she said fiddling with her cardboard coaster

Koriana's POV:

Koriana walked around behind the bar filling up a few beer glasses when she heard someone clear their throat in front of her. She looked up & rolled her eyes slightly.
"Hey gorgeous…" Matt said smiling slightly
"What do you want, Mr. Predictable?"
"Predictable am I?"
"Yep, you're just like every other scum bag who walks through that door on Monday nights, wanting beer, sports & a easy lay, well hate to disappoint but I'm not the girl you're looking for…" she said handing the beer glasses to the regulars who ordered them.
"Ok, fair well if I'm so predictable what am I thinking right now…" Matt said looking at her with a gleam in his eyes. Koriana smiled, leaned into his ear really close so only he'd hear.
"Damn baby, that's a hot outfit, bet it'd look hotter on the floor of my hotel room…" Koriana backed away & almost laughed at his expression.
"Now if you'll excuse me, I have some friends I need to attend to…" Koriana said walking off, to the table occupied by Jeff, Tania & Makaela. Matt had every intention of following her but his cell phone vibrated alerting him of a call, he silently cursed under his breath & walked outside to take the call.

"Way to go Kori…" Makaela said to her friend who sat down beside her
"What?" Koriana asked looking innocent
"We totally saw you shoot down my brother, good too. Kudos for you. Not many women can resist the Hardy charm, for example Tania here." Jeff said proudly, before Tania elbowed him in the gut, then kissing him leaving him wanting more.
"Ew get a room." Koriana & Makaela said throwing napkins at them
"It was no big deal I turn down guys nightly." Koriana said
"Hey give me a few minutes I get off in a few but right now is my break, I'm going to kick it outside for a few, listen to the I-pod." Koriana said getting up to go outside
"Ok girl, see you in a few…" Makaela said, then looking back at Jeff & Tania making out
"Ugh, I'm going to the bar give you two some privacy…" Makaela said as Tania waved 'ok' at her.

Koriana's POV:

Koriana walked out the back door with her coat on & her purse, she was about to put her ear buds in to listen to the new Eve to Adam CD she uploaded to it when she heard a commotion in a dark alley beside the restaurant. She looked around & then a group of guys came running out from it, knocking her down on the icy sidewalk.

"Watch it bitch!" one of the guys said
"Me! Me!" Koriana said trying to get up but wasn't fast enough, she was brushing the ice off her butt & legs when she heard someone cough. She tried to look down the alley, but it was too dark, deciding against her better judgment she walked down the alley, to see a figure laying on the ground barely moving.
"Oh my god, are you ok?" she said turning them over
"I…he…" the voice muttered softly
"ok it's going to be ok, I'm going to get you some help…" she said putting the persons arm over her shoulders helping them up. They staggered to their feet as Koriana walked them to her car, she put them in when she released who it was.
"Matt…" she mutter softly in shock

She ran around to the driver side of her car peeling out of the parking lot, not caring if she got fired for leaving on break she needed to help Matt even if he was a douche to her tonight. She kept talking to him & smacking him lightly to keep him conscious until she could get him to the hospital.

Back at the sports bar & grill:

Makaela was dancing to the song playing with one of the waitresses she knew from a long time ago. She was actually truly having some fun for the first time in a long time; she looked over her shoulder to see Jeff & Tania still making out heavily. She just laughed slightly & shook her head. She had no cares in the world at that moment, nor did she know she was being watched.

Punk watched Makaela move her hips & body to the music, she shirt would ride up every once in awhile showing slight skin. Her hair swaying across her back, she looked relaxed for the first time in the short time he'd known her.
'God I want to be the one to make her feel like she does right now…wait, what am I saying I barely know this girl. She could be on the run for murder or something.' He thought.
Scott looked up at his friend, following his line of site & all but died of shock.
"Dude isn't that the girl you got the hot's for?" Scott asked
"Yeah it is…" Punk said never taking his eyes off Makaela
"She looks different, more relaxed even…" Scott said going back to eating his burger
"yeah she does…"
All of a sudden Punk's face hardened at the sight the soon unfolded in front of him.

Makaela was interrupted by a strong smell of whiskey, making her gag. She looked over to see a guy next to her.
"What do you want?" she said crossing her arms
"Did it hurt…" the drunk slurred
"did what hurt?" she said pretty much knowing what the reply was going to be
"when you fell from heaven…"
"you are sadly mistaken if you think, me, of all people is a angel…" she said walking off but the guy grabbed her wrist, bringing back memories of her ex
"then show me your naughty side baby…" he said pulling her back up against him
"no let me go, please…" she said trying to get his hand off her wrist. Soon she heard a voice, a familiar voice behind her.

"The lady said let her go…" Makaela turned her head to see Punk standing there; she was relieved, mad, and embarrassed all at the same time.
"Who the fuck are you?" the drunk asked letting go of Makaela. Punk wrapped his arms protectively around her, her head laid instinctively on his chest.
"I'm her boyfriend & if you don't mind I'd much prefer you not ruining my girlfriend's good time, comprende?" Punk said glaring at the drunk as he walked off
'god he feels & smells so good….wait! What are you doing Makaela you idiot!' Makaela thought
'god this feels so nice, so right & she smells amazing even for being in a bar…' Punk thought
All of a sudden she pushed him away abruptly, leaving him confused.

"Thank you, but I'm not going to be just a notch on your bed post because you decided to play prince charming for one night…" Makaela said before pushing through the people to get outside in hopes of finding Koriana. As soon as she opened the door she regretted it, it was freezing & raining.

Punk just watched her go in shock; he went back to his table grabbing his jacket.
"Someone got denied." Scott said before getting flipped off by his friend
Punk walked out & saw Makaela standing on the sidewalk shivering looking at the ground. His mind wanted to hate her for leaving him in the bar but his heart knew she had her reasons. He pulls his hoodie close to him, walking up behind her with his bigger jacket in hand.

Makaela felt someone behind & knew exactly who it was; she didn't bother to turn around.
'Why won't he give up? Can't he see that I'm nothing?' she thought.
Punk finally broke the silence between them.
"Well knight in shining armor or not you don't need to catch your death…" he said offering her his jacket. She turned her face to look at the jacket & then just went back to looking at the ground hoping he'd just quit making things complicated.
Punk frustrated with this girl in front of him ran a hand through his soaked black hair.
"Fine…but if you don't want a knight then you need to stop acting like a stuck up princess...no one said I wanted to sleep with you so don't flatter yourself." He said causing her to look at him in shock, it hurt more then she expected it to, did she really want him to leave her alone? She wondered.
"Now I'm trying to be nice but if you don't want someone being nice to you then this is the way to get them to stop…" Punk said; Makaela had finally heard enough.
" look just stop alright, I don't need you being nice to me…" she said frustrated with herself as the rain started coming down harder on them both. Punk just nods slightly, walking back inside the restaurant, looking back at her as he opens the door.
"Fine...but you're pride is going to get the best of you one day…" he said as he laid his coat on the railing leading in to the bar before he walked in. A big gust of wind blew causing Makaela to run for Punk's jacket throwing it on, he saw this & smiled lightly, walking back to his table.
Makaela stood outside awhile longer before she realized.
'Where's matt? And where's Koriana?' she thought to herself. She looked around, Koriana's car wasn't there, and soon something caught her eye in a puddle, a wallet. She bent down to pick it up; she looked at the I.D. & gasped. Matt. She ran back into the restaurant for Jeff & Tania.
Punk looked up & saw the panic on Makaela's face as she entered the restaurant, she ran over to Jeff & Tania.
"Jeff, Tania…" she said out of breath
" Kaela we were wondering what happened to you, are you ok?" Tania asked
"Matt & Koriana are gone, I found his wallet in a puddle outside, all his cards & money is gone…"
"Calm down, calm down, let me see it…" Jeff said as Makaela handed him Matt's wallet
"Yeah it's his, we've got to find them…" Jeff said
"Ok who has the keys…" Tania said as they both looked at Makaela
"What? I gave them to Matt it was his rental, besides it's gone too…" Makaela said running a hand through her wet hair.
"Maybe we can help…" Punk said with Scott by his side
"We heard the commotion; we will take you guys where you need to go." Scott said
"Ok well let's go…" Jeff said as they got up to go to Scott's rental.
"I'll drive; I know where Koriana's apartment is..." Makaela said getting in the drive side, speeding off to Koriana's apartment.

Koriana's POV:

Koriana walked in her apartment with Matt braced against her
"I should sue that fucking hospital, I've never heard of a mugging victim get released in under 2 hours. "Stupid mother fuckers." Koriana cussed.
She had taken Matt to the hospital to get checked out only to be sent home with pain pills & bandages.
"Kori…" Matt tried to mutter out
"shhh we're going to get you taken care of…" she said laying him on her bed, she under dressed him out of his dirty clothes to his boxers, pulling the covers over him. She sighed heavily, going to get a hot shower; she put her jammies on & got blankets & pillows to lay on the couch. She had just gotten comfortable when someone started pounding on the door.
'Ugh something better be on fire…' Koriana thought as she got up to open the door.

Makaela pulled the car up to a screeching halt, jumping out of the car.
"Thanks gotta run…" she said running up the steps to Koriana's apartment, with Jeff behind her.
"Well that was abrupt." Scott said getting out going to the drive side.
"Phil, c'mere." Tania said, making Punk walk to her
"I know you like Makaela, she likes you I know it, she's just been through a lot of shit, give her time…don't tell her you got this from me…" she said grabbing his hand writing Makaela's room number on it.
"Check on her later. I got to go..." Tania said running after Jeff & Makaela.
Punk looked down at his hand & smiled lightly, getting in the car.
"What was that about?" Scott asked
"Nothing…" Punk said smiling again

Makaela, Jeff & Tania busted in Koriana's apartment
"Oh thank god you're ok…" Makaela said hugging her friend
"ok Kaela you're soaking wet, what's going on?"
"We can't find matt & couldn't find you until now…"
"oh he's fine he's in bed…" she said making Jeff, Makaela & Tania's jaws drop.
