Better Days

Chapter 6: Orders from Cena

Riley waited for him to return to his room the next morning. They were due to arrive in the next city later that day and she had still made no move to get up from the bed. She snuggled deeper into the pillows and shut her eyes. She was still in pain but it was slowly letting up, making movement slightly easier. Riley let out a contented sigh and tucked her arms under the pillow. Five seconds later she was ripped from the bed and carried to the bathroom.

Riley was shoved into the shower stall by none other than Wade Barrett himself, a sly smirk on his face as he turned the faucet on to cold and let the water rain down on her, her screams echoing in the small, dark bathroom.

"What the fuck!" She yelled after a scream died off.

"Orders from Cena." Wade replied, suppressing a laugh.

Riley reached for the faucet and quickly turned the stream of water off, she stood in the shower, water dripping off of her. She glared at Wade, then proceeded to pull her underwear off, wiggling her hips seductively. If he was going to piss her off, she was at least going to have fun with it.

His eyes widened as she turned and faced away from him, her underwear dropping to the bottom of the shower and sitting there. He paid no attention to her underwear, not while her bare bum was wiggling in front of his eyes. He shook his head and turned on his heel, making his way out of the bathroom.

Before he had a chance to shut the bathroom door on her, her soaking wet underwear flew threw the air, like a projectile, and hit him in the back of the head, falling to the floor in the bus. He glanced back at her, a wide smirk on her face.

"You still owe me one!" She hollered.

Wade rolled his eyes at her and shut the bathroom door, fighting his deep desire not to turn around and jump in the shower with her.

XxxxxxXxxxxxX

Riley trailed the Nexus boys around backstage, at least with them around she didn't have to worry about many people asking her if she was okay, no one wanted to approach the Nexus, not when they were in a group. She was thankful for Wade being so much bigger than she was too, she was trying her hardest to use him to shield peoples stares as she walked around decked out in a Nexus t-shirt, tied at the back and sleeves rolled up, and a pair of short denim shorts.

Sure John had done a decent job at picking her out clothes but she wasn't about to wear her t-shirt with the hole near the chest around the Nexus, thus she had borrowed one of Wade's, making a few minor adjustments so it fit better.

Riley stopped as soon as the Nexus stopped, almost running into the back of Wade. She absentmindedly rested her bad arm across her stomach, protecting both from any type of pain a run-in would induce. She half listened to the men in front of her conversing with some other wrestler, to her it sounded like The Miz, but she didn't really care. It wasn't until Wade stepped aside and let The Miz take a look at her that she even looked forward.

She kept spacing out, half from the meds, half from not wanting to be anywhere but in a bed with her eyes shut. Wade nudged her good shoulder and pointed at the locker room where John Cena had just walked out.

"Mac!" He shouted, his eyes instantly landing on his best friend.

She forced a half smile and let her arm drop away from her stomach. John picked up the pace and met her with a hug, barely even touching her. She didn't move to hug him back, she just stood there, waiting for him to let go.

"Interesting t-shirt choice." John remarked as he stepped back, the hug breaking between them.

"You left without me." She stated flatly.

John's smile dropped away from his face. He only left her with the Nexus guys because they could provide her with a comfortable bed, as opposed to an uncomfortable car seat. He believed it was the right choice.

"Wade and I decided that you'd be better off with them." John replied hesitantly.

"Yeah, I heard."

"Riley, it's not a big deal." Justin Gabriel piped up, not wanting the poor girl to stress herself out and cause more damage to her body.

"Fuck off Gabriel. I hope you pop a nut when you do your fucking stupid flip shitting thing tonight."

John watched carefully as Riley turned and glared at little Justin Gabriel. He knew the kid wasn't expecting anything like that from Riley, the shock on his face proved it. John stepped in between Riley and Gabriel and motioned for the Nexus kid to get lost. When Gabriel walked away, the remaining Nexus members, except Wade Barrett, walked away with him.

Riley shut her eyes for a second and forced the slight bit of pain from her shoulder back to extinction. John set his arm around Riley's shoulders and she opened her eyes, staring at Wade Barrett.

"This means you can't wrestle tonight Mac." John stated, a bit of a smile playing on his lips.

"Yeah, got it."

"Mac come on, cheer up."

No sooner had the words come out of mouth as Alicia Fox waltzed right up to Riley and reached her hand out, squeezing Riley's good forearm in a comforting gesture. John fought off a laugh as Riley glared at Alicia Fox and her stupid compassion for her well being.

"How you feeling Riley." She asked quietly.

"I'm fine."

"You okay to tell me off tonight?"

"Um, yeah." Riley looked at Fox suspiciously.

"You know we had to change the plans for tonight, right?"

"What?"

"He didn't tell you?" Fox asked, glancing at Wade.

Riley's eyes slowly traveled from the irritating girl in front of her to the giant form of Wade Barrett, standing just feet away from her. Her glare was intense, John tightened his grip on Riley so she wouldn't go crazy and try to kill Wade.

"No, no he did not." Riley forced a calm tone to her voice.

"Well basically you were so thankful that Wade saved your life that you're going to walk out with him and Nexus as they butt in on John and Randy's match. You're like his personal cheerleader. Then when his match is over, you're going to get into the middle of the ring and start to yell at Randy and I come out and pick on you, blah blah blah, you tell me off and since you can't fight, I offer you a match where Wade fights in your honour and I pick a superstar of my choice to fight for my honour."

Riley's eye twitched slightly. She was fighting back the urge to hit Fox at that exact moment and walk right out of the arena, away from the WWE and making her way to the closest hotel where she would book herself in for the next few days to sleep off her terrible nightmare.

John smiled at Wade and pushed Riley towards him. Alicia Fox still had her hand wrapped around Riley's arm. Riley didn't move a muscle as John walked back into the locker room to get ready for his match against Randy Orton, Wade standing in front of her, refusing to meet her glaring eyes.

"Nah, I'm good." Riley stated simply, pulling her arm away from Fox's grasp.

"You can't just say no, it's all set out." She argued back.

"You can take your shitty, unrealistic story idea and shove it up your Diva ass, I'm not a personal cheerleader and I'm certainly not having anything to do with Nexus."

"You're putting your job on the line by not doing this Riley." Fox stated, her tone serious.

"I'd rather eat a dead cockroach covered in motor oil than be Barrett's little cheerleader."

Alicia Fox shrugged her shoulders and glanced at Wade quickly. She looked back at Riley with a small smile.

"Suit yourself Mac but if you really want to keep wrestling with this company, you should really consider the offer."

Fox walked away, a little spring in her step knowing Riley would never give up her job as a wrestler, at least not because of dumb Alicia Fox. She looked at Wade who still refused to meet her eyes and glared.

"I'll be your stupid groupie but I am not cheering for you." She snarled.

"Okay."

Riley walked past him, shoving him slightly as she moved. She was not happy. While she was out cold her entire WWE life was flipped upside down. She would never, ever side with the Nexus and now she was stuck being a Nexus groupie. She didn't turn back as she wandered away from Wade and the small smirk forming on his face
