So, I left you with a major cliffie last chapter... Which means you'll see what I did this chapter.
I warn now. There are two particularly mature parts to this chapter. They don't cross the line into M material, but they are mature.
I own nothing. Yet. Until I buy it off of the McMahon family, and then IT SHALL BE MINE!!!
Twenty four hours after Matt had left, Nati was sitting on her hotel room bed, knees pulled up to her chest. It was her first time alone since she'd joined the WWE, and after everything in the parking lot last night, she wished she weren't left to her thoughts. She sat there, staring at the phone, praying for it to ring.
Nati let out a sigh, resting her cheek on her knees to look out the window. She found the moon and let her eyes rest on it, voicing a thought. "Call me, someone. Get me out of this damned place."

The next monday, Nati had another interview with Randy. This time, she had no one in the room but her, Randy, and the camera man. As soon as the interview was over, the cameras left, and she turned toward him, somewhat defiantly. Fear, however, seemed to echo in her eyes.
He smirked, stepping very close to her, pressing his body onto hers. He leaned down to whisper in her ear, "Still want me, Nati?"
The brunette froze for a moment before shoving him back forcefully. "Back off, Randy."
His expression was comically shocked. The corners of her mouth twitched upward slightly and she walked away.

For the next five weeks, Randy continued to get closer and closer to Nati, until the girl finally snapped. It was a RAW show, and she was backstage with Vince and Randy, doing a cutscene about Randy backing away from her more, as through her storyline, he'd begun stalking her.
As the cutscene went on, Nati realized that Vince's words were not simply for storyline. They were meant to be followed in reality.
The scene ended, and Vince continued talking to the wrestler before him. "I swear to God, Orton, if I see you lay another hand on her, you'll be immediately suspended, and she'll switch shows. I'll make sure you never see her again."
The wrestler glared, but nodded in understanding, and turned to exit for the locker room. His night was over.
Vince let out a strained sigh, resting his head on his hand. "Listen, Nati, I'm sorry about Mr. Orton. Just come to me if he does anything. I'll switch you over to Smackdown! and you'll start working a line with Matt instead of Randy. I like putting you in storylines. You act well."
Nati laughed a little, unsure of whether to be complimented or not, and nodded. "Okay. I'm gonna go back to the hotel now, call Matt and Kae and everyone, see how they are."
Vince nodded, gesturing that it was okay for her to leave. "Oh, and Nati?" he said when she was at the door. She paused, turning to look at him. "Be careful." She nodded, leaving.
The girl was walking by the locker room when it happened. Randy slammed the door open and grabbed her from behind, pulling her into the room with him. She struggled against him, but the wrestler was stronger by far. "You shouldn't have gotten Vince involved in this, Nati."
The brunette started struggling more at his words, trying desperately to get out of his grasp. He released the hand he had over her mouth, reaching down in front of him to unbuckle his belt.
Just then, the girl let out a scream. It was lucky for her that Mark was walking through the halls at that time, heading toward the viewing area to watch the matches.
The large man kicked open the door to the locker room, causing Randy to let Nati go. Mark stepped forward threateningly, causing Randy to step backward until he was up against a locker. The taller man picked him up by the shirt, slamming him hard into the locker behind him. His voice was deep and angry when he spoke. "I swear to whatever's up there, if you ever even think of touching her again, you won't even be able to touch yourself any more." He dropped the frightened young man, who scrambled out of the room immediately.
With that, he turned back to the girl he'd saved. She was staring up at him, still looking scared, but let out a breath of relief. "Thank you..."

Two weeks later, the brunette girl had traded shows and Randy had been suspended indefinitely. Vince was pressing charges, as was Nati, and the girl was awaiting the official court date.
One night, Nati sat at the catering table across from Mark, chatting animatedly about their chance to travel home. She had decided that instead of going home, she would go down to Cameron to see everyone for the Christmas holiday.
"So, you see, the old version of the Undertaker was so much cooler. He was way more intimidating." The girl nodded, taking a bite of the little corner sandwich on the platter before her.
Mark raised an eyebrow at her. "So I'm not intimidating now?"
"Oh no, you are, just ask Kae. She did pass out, after all. But you were more intimidating then. That, and you were just cooler because you were younger."
He laughed, a deep laugh, and nodded. "I'll keep that in mind. God, she was so scared. I don't think anyone else had ever passed out."
Nati laughed. "That's Kae for you."
As their conversation lapsed into a comfortable silence, the man thought of a question that had been bugging him since she'd traded shows. "So. How did that whole thing with Randy start?"
She let out a sigh. "Well, I sort of fell for him and didn't realize all he wanted was to sleep with me. And I didn't listen when Matt told me about it. And then, the first time he tried, I got away and Matt helped me calm back down and get to normal again. The second time... I don't wanna talk about the second try. The third one, well, you saw what happened."
Mark nodded. "I see. Seems like Matt's done a lot for you. What's up with you and the older Hardy boy?"
The girl blushed, a smile crossing her face. "I don't know how to explain it. It's like... I care about him in a way I don't understand fully. I hate the words 'I love you'. They seem so meaningless sometimes. But I think I love him. Which sucks to say. Because so far, every time I've said 'I love you' to someone, it hasn't worked out."
He nodded again, smiling himself. "Well, it seems like that boy's got a thing for you too. Don't shy away from chances because your past hasn't worked well."
Nati nodded, meeting his gaze. "We'll see."

As the plane took off, Nati leaned back in her seat, closing her eyes carefully. She let out a sigh, slipping on a pair of headphones so she could listen to the music provided by the WWE chairman. She sat comfortably, smiling at the thought that she'd soon be back with her friends, that soon she'd see Matt again.
Thinking back to the last time she'd seen him, nearly two months ago, she shiverred. Memories of that night overcame her, and before she knew it, the thoughts she'd supressed were back, vivid in her mind.
Randy released the hand on her mouth, using it to hold her hands above her head, and backed her into the wall of the parking lot. He leaned in close, pressing kisses to her neck. "You teased for too long, Nati," he whispered, his lips ghosting over her skin. The free hand started roaming her stomach, sliding under her shirt. "Now it's gonna happen. Just like you wanted."
The girl was frozen; she couldn't fight, couldn't scream. She just froze.
Randy's hand continued roaming, slipping higher and dipping lower before he removed it to start unbuttoning his jeans.
Just then, the screech of car tires came from behind them. The wrestler stopped his actions, jumping away from the girl as he looked to see who had gotten there.
Matt stepped out of his car faster than Nati had ever seen him move, his eyes livid. Randy jetted away, out of sight and in the arena before Matt could start running to catch him.
The elder Hardy turned to Nati, reaching out to her carefully. She walked forward carefully, into a hug. "Thank you, Matty..."
Matt shook his head, pressing a kiss to the top of her head. "Stop thankin' me, Miss Nati. Ah owe it t' ya."
The girl sighed, opening her eyes for a moment before closing them again. She'd see him soon enough.
Nati predicted Matt saving her, but she couldn't possibly predict the same of Mark! Mwah hah hah! lol. Anyway... I'm pleased with this chapter, even though it was written at like midnight.
Review please! They make me a happy author! And that's the bottom line...
