Punk walked into the Smackdown arena two hours early. He wanted to get some quick training done before the show, and he was planning on hanging out with Jeff before the show.
Jeff. That one simple word had been stuck in his head since Wednesday. And that one simple word has caused him so much confusion. Punk had never, EVER been the type to fall for someone. He'd never even really done relationships. And now, he wasn't sure if he was in one, not even sure if he wanted to be in one.
A month ago, if anyone would have asked him about relationships, he would've called them a complete waste of time. But now, he was giving that some serious second thoughts.
Punk chuckled in the practice ring. He'd always scoff at romance and anyone who embraced it, yet here he was, two hours early to meet up with the guy he couldn't get off his mnd. Not to mention, he'd started wearing cologne to try and impress Jeff, something a month ago he would've sworn to never do.
Punk rubbed his hands over his face and sighed, trying to focus. He started running the ropes, until someone called his name.
"Hey, Phil," said Beth, walking up to the ring.
Punk groaned. "What do you want?"
"What? A friend can't say hi?" Said Beth, smiling at Punk and getting in the ring.
Punk crossed his arms as Beth walked up to him. "We're not friends."
Beth ran a hand over his chest. "You sure about that?"
Punk scoffed. "Pretty sure."
Beth stepped closer. "What? Did the big, bad punk get soft?"
"I am not soft," said Punk, glaring.
"Then prove it," said Beth, pressing her lips to his and kissing him.
Punk slowly started kissing back. 'I have not gotten soft. I'm still the same Punk I've always been.'
They locked their arms around each other, pressing their bodies together. Punk kept fighting off thoughts of guilt. 'I'm not soft,' thought Punk.
Jeff walked into the arena, excited to see Punk. He couldn't really recall a time he'd been happier than when Punk texted him asking if he wanted to hang out before the show. It had just about made his whoke week.
Jeff walked up to a production member. "Excuse me, have you seen CM Punk?"
"Uh yeah. He went to the training ring about ten minutes ago," said the production member
"Thanks!" Said Jeff, happily walking to the training ring. He walked into the training room with a smile on his face, but that smile quickly disappeared.
Beth and Punk quickly separated when Jeff walked in. Jeff put on an awkward smile and backed out. "Sorry. Didn't mean to interrupt." He walked to the men's locker room, trying to keep the tears from falling.
Jeff sat in the men's locker room, much like he had just a little while ago, trying to hold the tears in. Granted, Punk had never said anything about a relationship, Jeff guessed he'd just assumed. He wiped away a tear that managed to fall down his face, grateful he was here so early so no one would see him.
Jeff didn't really think he could blame Punk. After all, they'd never agreed on commitment. He just wished he'd never been so stupid. It was Punk, the guy who never committed to anything and had a reputation of breaking hearts.
But when Punk was around him, he lost any doubts. Punk made him feel like he could be himself, and for a moment, made him feel special. Jeff scoffed. Special. Yeah right.
Beth tried to resume kissing Punk, but Punk pushed her away and stared somberly at the door.
"What are you so upset about?" Asked Beth. "It's not like you're in a relationship."
She tried to kiss Punk again, but he pushed her away and looked at her. "Actually, I am. And you know what else, Beth. I'm gay. I have a boyfriend. A boyfriend who is quite possibly the most amazing person I've ever met, definitely a million times better than you. And I just fucked up the best thing that has happened to me in a long time. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go fix it."
Beth stared with her jaw dropped as Punk walked out, but Beth was the least of Punk's worries. He had never felt so guilty in his life. It was like someone had just stabbed him in the stomach. He couldn't even imagine how Jeff felt.
