Chapter 6: We Need To Talk
When Natalya walked into Justin's room, he was trying to climb out of bed. Sensing that someone was in the room, he turned to see his fiancé standing in the doorway. His face lit up seeing her, but then dropped, wondering if she ran into Kelly who just left.
"What was Kelly doing here?" Natalya asked in a calm tone.
"So you did run into her huh?"
Natalya remained silent, waiting for Justin to start explaining. Sighing out loud, Justin started to explain.
"Kelly said that she was feeling guilty and had something she needed to get off of her chest."
"And what would this be?"
"She went on to say that it was Heath who attacked me and that she was there. She said that she couldn't believe how Heath had reacted to the news of our engagement."
"Then what happened?" Natalya asked, finally making her way over to his bedside and taking a seat.
"She said that after I was knocked out, Heath reassured her that I would be fine and they left me lying there. Later when she heard that I was brought to the hospital, she knew that she had to come clean and apologize."
"What did you say to that?"
"I told her that I accepted her apology, but I didn't have anything else to say to her. She then left in tears and not five minutes later, you walked in." Justin finished.
Natalya just sat there with a blank expression and Justin waited for her to say something. She didn't get the chance to when Beth and John walked in cautiously, standing in the doorway. Seeing the tension between Natalya and Justin, John was the first to speak.
"Dude, how are you feeling?"
"A little bit better, but my head is still killing me."
Beth leaned up against the wall and looked over at Natalya. She tried to read the expression on the Canadian's face, but it was hard since she was facing away. Justin finally made it to his feet.
"Excuse me guys, I'm going to jump in the shower."
When the bathroom door closed, Beth made her way over to Natalya and sat down on the bed across from her, grabbing her hand.
"Nattie, what happened after Kelly left?"
Without looking up at her best friend, Natalya reiterated the conversation that she had with Justin. Beth gasped as John made his way over to join Beth on the bed. When she finished talking, Natalya just looked down at her shoes.
"What are you going to do?" Beth asked.
Natalya finally snapped out of her funk and looked up.
"I just want to go back to the hotel."
"Do you want us to drive you?" John asked, finally speaking up.
"No, I'll just take a cab." Natalya said as she found a notepad and pen to hastily write Justin a note saying she was going back to the hotel and may come back in the morning. When she finished, she set the note down on his pillow and stood up.
"We will wait with you until the cab arrives, so you won't be alone." Beth said as she wrapped a protective arm around Natalya's shoulders. Natalya just nodded and walked out of Justin's room with Beth and John.
Once back at the hotel, she didn't know what to do with herself. She trusted Justin, but it was Kelly who she didn't. What she did know, was that she had to settle this little feud with Kelly once and for all. Leaving her room, she headed up to the top floor. Finding the room she was looking for, she knocked. Hearing footsteps padding towards the door, Natalya took a breath to brace herself. When the door opened, there stood a half-naked Randy. Seeing the confusion on her face, he moved to the side allowing her to walk in past him.
"I assume you're not here to talk to me are you?" Randy said with a cocky smirk spreading across his face.
"No not really, sorry."
"No hard feelings I guess. Kelly is in the bedroom."
Natalya nodded her thanks and headed in the direction he indicated.
"Man-whore." She thought as she walked across the living area and into the bedroom. When she entered the room, Kelly looked up at her, and narrowed her eyes.
"What the hell are you doing here Natalya?"
Looking at Kelly more closely, Natalya saw that her eyes were rimmed red and her face was swollen from crying even more. Remembering why she was there, Natalya shook her head and started to talk.
"I'm here because we need to talk."
"About what?"
"Us and Justin. Why did you break character and do that shoot promo about me breaking you up?"
"Because in my eyes, you came in between us and ended up stealing him from me."
"No, you did that all by your damn self. I had nothing to do with him breaking up with you." Natalya said, her voice starting to rise.
"Oh really? How did I manage to drive my boyfriend into your arms?"
"Well you screwed us both over, literally! First you screwed Justin over when he caught you in bed with someone else when we all were touring Mexico. Remember, the night of your one year anniversary?"
"How do you know all of this?" Kelly asked, shocked.
"Before he and I got together, we shared how our relationships were going at the time and he told me. Want to know what else he told me?"
"What?"
"He said that during your anniversary dinner, he was planning on proposing."
"No, you're lying!"
"Now why would I lie about something like that?"
"Because you want to throw anything you can in my face!" Kelly screamed.
"Oh, that brings me to my second point on how you screwed Justin and I over. You slept with my boyfriend, who I happened to have been with for just over ten years."
"Were you really with Tyson that long?"
Natalya was done yelling, so she just nodded her head. Kelly's mouth dropped and tears started to fall.
"Natalya, I-I didn't know, I swear. Tyson told me that you were separated and I didn't know that you two had been together that long."
"I figured that much."
"I have something to confess to you. That night in Mexico was the first time I got together with Tyson. I don't know what came over me and with one decision, I lost the one man who has every truly loved me." Kelly said, then broke down completely.
Feeling sorry for how she yelled at Kelly, Natalya wrapped her arms around her shoulders and pulled her into a hug.
"Somehow, deep down, I knew for a while that Tyson was sleeping around."
"Yet you were so nice to me, why?"
"I didn't know that it was you until I found the two of you in bed. I had a feeling that it was with local fans or something."
"Natalya, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean for this to happen."
"I know, but in a way I have you to thank for how happy I am in my life right now."
Kelly just looked at her confused with what she had just said.
"Well as you already know, Justin proposed while we vacationed in South Africa. Also while we were there, I told him that I was pregnant." Natalya said with a smile.
Kelly's eyes grew large with shock.
"I know, we were both shocked when I found out. Since you were honest about your relations with Tyson, I thought that I should tell you before you found out fr-"
Natalya didn't get to finish her statement. The news shocked Kelly so much that she reacted by extending her right arm, punching Natalya right in the eye. Natalya collapsed to the ground, covering her eye with one hand.
"What the hell Kelly?" Natalya practically screamed.
