It was nearing the end of my match with Eve and safe to say, I was kicking her ass all over again. I was getting physced up from the energy of the crowd behind me. I was getting ready to hit my finisher on Eve when suddenly I felt a pain in my back. I fell forward onto the mat and grabbed my lower back in pain, now realising I'd been smacked with a steel chair. I turned my body over onto my side to see Eve standing with a smirk on her face, but she wasn't alone. Next to her was the 5ft 10 self absorbed asshole himself, none other than Mr "Yes", D-Bry, Daniel Bryan. I managed to shake my head in complete disgust at him for betraying AJ for that skank. He glared down at me and I felt the chair collide with my skin yet again. I was more focused on the pain now in my ribs as well as my lower back to notice anything else, which is why I was confused when I heard the crowd errupt all of a sudden and soon enough, I heard Rachel's voice asking me if I was okay. I managed to nod and she helped me up but literally seconds later, I felt myself behind lifted completely and immediately recognised the tattooed arms to be Randy's. He and Rachel helped me to the back where it was confirmed I had cracked ribs and couldn't fight for the next two weeks. Whoopee.
"Who the hell does Bryan think he is, huh? I'm going to kick his ass!" Randy yelled and I sighed,
"Randy, leave it," I started, "He isn't worth the time of day."
"Oh he's worth my fist messing up his preppy little face alright,"
"Orton, calm down. We're all mad at what he done to Nat but he will pay for it at some point, just not now, okay?" Cody told him and he began to calm down a little before sitting next to me again,
"Sorry, I'm just mad and protective." He said and I smiled a little,
"And I appreciate that very much, but I'm a big girl, let me handle this," I said, "Especially Eve." He chuckled and kissed my forehead,
"She's all yours to kill," I laughed, "Anyway, Cody our match is next, let's go." Randy gestured to Cody to leave and they both gave a small wave to Rachel and I before leaving the locker room. I sighed and leaned back in the chair I was sitting in,
"Hey Rach? Can I talk to you about something," I asked and she raised an eyebrow at me,
"Sure you can, what's up?"
"Uh, well, I know I tease you about it all the time, but, do you like Mike?" I asked and she huffed, this time it was me raising the eyebrow, "Truthfully." She sighed and ran a hand through her hair,
"Okay fine, you got me, I like him!" She said, "You happy now?" I laughed and nodded,
"Yes I am," I smiled before standing up and heading for the door, "Now if you'll excuse me, there's something I need to do." I left before she could interrogate me as to where I was going or who I was going to see. I'm not very good at making up lies on the spot so leaving out of the blue without an explanation is really the best idea in this scenario. I soon turned up outside Mike's locker room and knocked before I heard him yelling to come in. I walked in and closed the door behind me, seeing him smiling down at his phone like a kid who'd just been given a butt load of sweets.
"What are you so happy about?" I asked, sitting next to him,
"I decided to text Rachel and ask her out tonight," He said, "She said yes, that means she likes me, how awesome is this?" He yelled and hugged me, I chuckled and hugged him back,
"I'm so happy for you bud, I told you things would work out between you two, you're clearly meant to be." He smiled up at me,
"You really think so?"
"I know so, Mike, it's obvious." He hugged me again,
"This is why you're one of my best friends, Nat, you're awesome."
"Yeah, I know," I smirked and he laughed and shook his head,
"Really need to stop hanging around your boyfriend so much, you're turning into the cocky girl version of him and quite frankly, it's rather creepy." He said and I shook my head and ruffled his hair before saying a quick goodbye and leaving the locker room again.
I walked down the long what seemed neverending hallway of the arena we were currently at in hopes to eventually find catering, yeah I'm pretty hungry after kicking Eve's ass once again. As I walked past the interview area, I glanced over to see Daniel Bryan being interviewed by Josh Matthews and managed to overhear part of the converstaion.
"Daniel, I think the question on everyone's mind right now is what were you thinking going out and attacking Natalie to help Eve?" Josh asked and Daniel glared at him,
"Well then I guess it's my obligation to let these people know everything about me, am I right?" He said and I rolled my eyes at his failed attempt at sarcasm, Josh shrugged his shoulders before Bryan continued his pointless rant, "You see, I done what I done tonight because one, Eve came to me in need of taking the trash out, in this case Natalie being the trash, and two, because I simply cannot stand her or her little posse and I agree with Eve, she is a horrible bitch that needs to be taken out of this company right. now." He finished by glaring into the camera and I scoffed in amusement before turning on my heel and heading towards catering. Jeez, what'd I ever do to Bryan? Somebody got out the wrong side of the bed this morning. Why the hell is AJ chasing that guy?
I finally found catering and luckily, John was already there with Phil so I sat down and joined them. It felt like I hadn't spoken to the both of them in so long.
"Hey guys, mind if I join you?" I asked and Phil scooted over to let me sit next to him, I quickly sat down, "Man, it feels like we haven't spoke in ages, I miss you guys!"
"You're too wrapped up in either killing Eve, playing cupid with Rachel and Mike or just Randy in general," Phil smirked and I hit him on the arm,
"First of all, you can't blame me for wanting to kill Eve, secondly, playing 'cupid' actually worked I'll have you know Rachel and Mike are going out on a date tonight thanks to yours truly," I smirked, "And Randy.. well, I don't need an excuse for him," I said, earning a chuckle from both boys. We made small talk for a while between us, just catching up and stuff before we were interrupted by Ted and Cody running towards us in a panic,
"Natalie, you need to come with us now, hurry up!" Cody yelled, running over and grabbing me,
"Woah, what the hell's going on guys?" I asked as I followed them running down the hallway,
"It's Randy, he's gone insane and you're the only who will be able to calm him down even a little bit," Ted told me,
"Wait, why? What's wrong with him? Why is he so mad?"
"Daniel came out and cost us the match and he didn't take it very well and attacked him as soon as we got backstage," Cody informed me as we turned the corner to hear voices yelling and screaming. I ran towards it and eventually came to the scene which Cody and Ted had explained, except things seemed to have taken a turn. What I saw was Sheamus, Kofi and Chris holding Daniel back from Randy and I looked opposite him to see Randy sitting against the wall clucthing his shoulder in pain as a medic tried to help him and he simply pushed him away in frustration. I went over and bent down next to him,
"Randy, your hurt, let the medic help you," I told him, feeling like I was talking to a child,
"I can't move my arm and my shoulder is killing me," He told me as he winced in pain, I grabbed his hand,
"Then sweetie you need to get help for it, okay?" I told him and he sighed heavily but nodded before managing to stand up and we began walking down the hallway towards the first aid room. On the way there, I felt my phone vibrate in my jean pocket and took it out to see I had a new message from a random number,
"tell ur boyfriend that hes welcome for the dislocated shoulder, i'll be happy to kiss it better for him just give him this number. he knows im better than u anyway ;) xoxo"
I sighed in frustration, immediately knowing that it was from Eve. Randy noticed my sudden change of mood and put his hand on my lower back,
"What's up babe?" He asked,
"Oh just got a text from my bestie, Eve," I said, "She told me that she'll kiss your boo boo better," He laughed and shook his head,
"Tell her she can keep her nasty diseases, I'm happy with what I have," He smiled and gave me a quick kiss before my phone beeped again but this time it was from Mike,
"guess who has a girlfriend now? ;)"
I chuckled and text him back saying I was happy he'd finally gained the courage to ask Rachel out, I mean it had only taken him about two years to do so, but nevertheless, I'm happy for them both. Like I said, they're clearly made for eachother, pretty sure even Kelly Kelly would be able to see that and she's not really the sharpest tool in the box. I'm glad things are good in life with them, 'cause things just sure as hell just seem to be getting worse for me. I need to have eyes on the back of my head to get around this place now. Between Eve wanting to make my life hell again, now I have Daniel on my case too and not only mine, but everyone I'm friends with. Also, with Randy now going to be out of action for a while, it means he won't be around for a couple of weeks, maybe even months! That, however, doesn't mean that I'm going to let Eve and her sidekick, D-Bry walk all over me. Nope. I believe things are just getting started.
