[Guys, I'm so sorry this has taken so long to come out. I've been so busy with school and all my free periods have been jam packed. I want you to know that I do try my very best to get these out as soon as I possibly can. On a lighter note, something funny happened that super shocked/excited me A LOT. Bryan and Edge had a segment and match on Raw! xD I almost peed my pants when I saw it! (Zack Ryder is awesome by the way), I feel like this weeks Raw was especially for my story! So I've changed the context of their match a bit and added a match for Lillie with her facing Eve. Her match will be first and let's pretend Eve was never in the match with R-Truth, it was…. Jillian :). Anyways, enjoy this chapter titled 'I Used To Know You So Well' which is inspired by the song Decode by Paramore from the Twilight soundtrack (I'm a huge Twilighter).This is the longest chapter I've written so it took a little longer than usual to write, even without me being so busy! Oh and I always forget to say, I don't own anything or anyone is this story apart from any OC's. To be honest, if I owned Edge or Bryan… well let's just say I wouldn't be writing Fan Fiction ;) Oh and for once, I agree with Cole and Miz, I think Bryan wants to be a Storm Trooper with his new theme music :P]

Review Responses:

TJ Sparkles: I adore Bryan and I couldn't resist making him so sweet in this story :) I totally wish I could date him :P I was so happy when he won I jumped up and down and danced at 2am xD More will be coming…

Straight-Edge AnimeWolf: I'm a Miz fan too, but I was rooting for Bryan ;)

Kizzyfur: Gotta love a bit of drama! xD

After a night of celebrating Bryan's win we relaxed at the hotel room the next morning just chilling out and watching movies. We had to head to Indianapolis for the next Raw, my first wrestling a match and Bryan's first as the new United States Champ. Tonight I would be wrestling Eve and as long as she didn't know or find out about the past between Adam and I, the whole night would go smoothly. I hope. I zipped up the suitcase that was sat on the bed and grabbed my handbag from the chair, slinging it over my shoulder.

"Bry! I'm ready!" I called towards the closed bathroom door. The sounds of fumbling echoed from the other side and I think I heard a faint "Almost ready". I shrugged and spun around the room, trying to find something to do. A thick wad of white paper caught my attention. It was sat on the edge of a counter in the kitchenette. Bryan's script for tonight. You see, being a Diva, I got a different script to the male superstars, so I never had any idea of what was going to happen. But tonight, I would. I crept over to the counter and picked up the script, quickly flicking through it. I noticed my match, but I also noticed something after it.

Daniel Bryan cuts a promo with Edge and Zack Ryder resulting in a non-title match between Edge and Bryan later tonight with The Miz on commentary.

I stared wide eyed at the piece of paper before me and started to panic. If Bryan found out about mine and Adam's past and that Adam was the guy I was talking (well, crying) about the day we got together, he would tear him apart. The only good thing about this situation is that Adam is with Eve now, so I don't need to worry about Adam and I. All I need to do was make sure that I stay away from Adam today in order to not cause us to 'talk' (not that I have anything to say to him). I heard the bathroom lock turning and I quickly threw the script back where it was. Running into the bedroom I slumped into the chair in the corner (as naturally as possible). The bathroom door swung open and Bryan walked out, fully dressed and ready to go. I smiled innocently and his face dropped.

"What did you do now?" He asked suspiciously, crossing his arms over his chest. Damn. I forgot that boy could read me like a book. Think of an excuse brain!

"I… uh… nothing! Don't worry about it!" (Yeah, well done.) I placed a fake smile on my face and hoped for the best. Bryan raised an eyebrow. I knew that he wasn't buying it at all, but for my sake he was going to keep quiet. He picked up his suitcase and grabbed mine from the bed.

"You don't have to carry that you know." I said, softly placing my hand on his shoulder. He stared into my ears and smiled sweetly.

"It's the least I can do for you Angel." Honestly he couldn't be more perfect for me. The age gap between Adam and I was ten years, something I didn't care about at the time, but I now see was a big mistake. But with Bryan the age gap is only two years, which is totally acceptable. He treats me the way I deserve to be treated, like a Queen, he was good for me. No wonder I was falling for him so quickly. Despite all of that I couldn't help but feel like something was missing, that something wasn't there. I couldn't quite put my finger on what it was, so obviously it wasn't that important. Was it? I shrugged it off and pushed it to the back of my mind. Things missing in my relationship were the least of my worries tonight. I had a debut match to prepare for…

'Ignorance' by Paramore blasted through my earphones as I slid into the splits. The gym was almost completely empty apart from myself and an old guy lifting weights with his personal trainer in the corner. I got up and headed for the treadmill near the very back of Gold's Gym. I turned it on and started to run. A few minutes later, I was starting to get a little tired, but I knew I had to push myself to make sure I was 100% prepared to take on the 2007 Diva Search winner tonight. The song I was listening to ended and just before the other began, I heard the bell on the door chime, signaling someone had entered the gym. I looked up from my iPod to see the face of Adam Copeland. I took in a sharp intake of breath and turned up the song 'Decode' by Paramore. 'But you won't take away my pride, No, not this time, Not this time. How did we get here? I used to know you so well.' The lyrics jumped out at me as I looked up and locked eyes with Adam across the room. He smiled weakly and began to walk towards me. I put my head down and put all my concentration into the exercise I was doing. I saw a pair of feet in front of the treadmill and looked up to see Adam stood directly in front of me. 'The truth is hiding in your eyes
and it's hanging on your tongue, just boiling in my blood, but you think that I can't see, What kind of man that you are, If you're a man at all…' The lyrics made so much sense at that time. But I unplugged my earphones before I could hear the next line.

"Hi." He said bluntly.

"Hey." I whispered. Turning off the machine and stepping off.

"Listen…" I couldn't just let him talk; I had to stand up for myself. I summoned all the courage I could and looked into his eyes.

"No. You listen to me Adam. You can't just go around telling people you still love them when you already have a girlfriend. You can't mess with peoples feelings like that! I thought you had truly changed but you…"

"I broke up with Eve." He blurted. I froze, he did what?

"You what?" I said in disbelief.

"I broke up with her yesterday during Night Of Champions. When I saw you the other day I just fell in love with you all over again. I still love you, and that is no lie." He whispered the last part and tried to take my hands in his. I jerked them away and placed them on my hips.

"Well, it doesn't matter to me if your single or not. I've moved on. I'm with Bryan." A shot of jealously burned through his eyes.

"I know." He stated. "I saw you two yesterday." Jealously rippled through his words and I laughed inside.

"Good to know. Well I'll see you at Raw tonight? I hear your facing my boyfriend." I said smugly.

"Yes. I am." He spoke as though he had a brilliant idea and I had no clue what he was planning. I wanted to ignore him but I couldn't. Something sparked inside of me that was threatening to escape. I walked away from him and towards the weights machine.

"Lillie!" He called after to me and ran to catch up with me. "Can we at least just be friends? Don't throw away what we had." I contemplated the thought of having what we had before. When we were friends, he was one of the best. I sighed and turned towards him.

"Just friends?"

"Just friends." I stuck out my hand and smirked.

"Deal." His signature smirk formed on his face and he took my hand shaking it. "So I guess we will be hanging out again." I said laughing.

"I guess so."

"I did miss you." I said, sadly. "As a friend." I added.

"I feel the same. We were the best of friends!" I laughed at the childish face he was pulling.

"We were indeed."

*FF*

I left the gym happy. Adam and I had hung out the entire time we were in there, reminiscing about old times, which always made me smile. I was friends with Adam now and I had nothing to worry about. I plugged my iPod into the car and it was still paused half way through 'Decode'. I hit play and it began from where it left off. 'Well, I will figure this one out, On my own, (I'm screaming, "I love you so"), On my own, (My thoughts you can't decode).' It suddenly hit me like a ton of bricks. I gasped from the realization. I had finally put my finger on what was missing in mine and Bryan's relationship. The thing I always knew was there but I never saw before. Bryan wasn't Adam.

To everyone in the Diva's locker-room I most likely looked spaced out, which I was. I couldn't believe what I was telling myself. I could believe what I was feeling. I was torn in between two extremely different people, and they didn't even know it. I bent over to tie up my wrestling boots, and looked down at my attire for my match tonight. My outfit was a cross between Melina's, Mickie's and Maria's. My colour scheme tonight was green and grey and I must say, I looked pretty good. I looked around the full locker-room at all the Diva's chatting and laughing. Zoey hadn't arrived yet (she texted earlier, she was stuck in traffic) and Bryan was busy doing… well, I don't know. My mind was to full to even be able to see him. Sure he was my boyfriend and all, but after my revelation earlier today, I needed time to think. Alone. A knock on the door hushed everyone to silence. Alicia Fox (who is extremely nice in real life) jumped up to answer the door.

"I'll get it!" She shouted. She half opened the door so we couldn't see who was on the other side. All we could hear was the mystery person's voice.

"Uh, Hi. Is Lillie here?" I recognized the voice instantly.

"Ben?" I called standing up from the bench. A familiar head poked around the door and I instantly ran into his arms. Ben was the oldest of my 'little brothers'. I knew he was wrestling for ROH and occasionally FCW, but I had no idea WWE had called him up.

"What's up Big Sis?" He said laughing. 'Big Sis' was an understatement. I was only 5'4, Ben was 6'1. He used to be a lot smaller than me and I could easily take him, now I wouldn't even think about it. We always watching wrestling together, with my other little brother Alex when we were younger and I knew he had always dreamed to be here. I released him from my grasp and looked up at him.

"Do have a match tonight?" I asked, still smiling so wide my face was hurting.

"I do. I'm facing Alex Riley tonight." Many an evil thought went through my mind.

"Alex Riley huh? Do me a favor Bro; beat the crap out of him." I said plainly.

"Oh Sis, I was planning on it." He winked as he spoke causing me to laugh. "Now…" He said crossing his arms. "What's this I hear about you having a boyfriend?" I coughed nervously. I heard a collective gasp behind me. No one in the locker-room knew about me a Bryan's relationship. Until now. The locker-room erupted into voices asking me who. Eve stood from the corner and hushed everyone. She stepped closer to me and I saw something in her eyes. Jealously. I don't know how I knew, but I know she knew I was the reason Adam broke up with her.

"Who are you dating?" She said sweetly, but I could see the undertone of the pure hatred she had for me. I shuffled nervously and looked at my feet.

"Bryan Danielson." I mumbled, everyone seemed to hear though as the room broke into a collective 'aww'. I blushed lightly and looked back up to meet Eve's eyes. She looked a little surprised I hadn't said I was dating Adam.

"Lillie. Can I talk to you in the hall for a minute?" She said quietly. "It's about our match." To someone who had no idea, it sounded like that was what she wanted to talk about. But I knew different, this was what I was dreading. I turned to my brother and made a 'help me' face. He knew what was going on since he had called and I told him all about it last week.

"Actually Eve, I was hoping Lil could show me around a bit. Can she catch up with you later?" She sighed loudly.

"Sure." Anger flashed through her eyes quickly before she turned back to the other Diva's, her personality quickly changing. I let out a breath I forgot I was holding in and rushed out for the room with Ben in my grasp.

"Thank you so much." I breathed.

"It's what I'm here for Sis. If she's gives you any trouble just call me… or your boyfriend." I playfully hit his arm and we began to walk down the hall. You know that saying 'Speak of the Devil and he shall appear? Well, speak of Bryan and he shall appear. As we rounded the corner, there he was, sat on box of crates, yep, you guessed it. Reading.

"Ewww. Look who it is!" I shouted making a fake disgusted face. He looked up and smiled, marking the place in his book he ran up to us. He quickly embraced me and planted a simple kiss on top of my head. Ben coughed awkwardly.

"Oh, Bryan, this is my brother Ben. Ben this is my boyfriend Bryan." I said happily. They shook hands and Ben stuffed his hands into his pockets.

"Right. I need to go get ready. I'll leave you two love-birds alone." He said winking. I hit his arm yet again and he made (bad) fake hurt noises. He turned away and huffed, sulking down the hall. I laughed and turned back to Bryan.

"Sorry about him. He's a bit of a freak." He laughed.

"You should meet my family." I giggled awkwardly; worried that Bryan actually did want me to meet his family. Would they even like me? I'm not exactly perfect am I?

"Lil? You're zoning out again." Bryan said as he snapped his fingers in front of my face.

"Sorry!" I cried. I need to quickly change the subject. "So what are you doing down here?"

"I'm waiting to film a promo with Edge and Zack Ryder that will air later tonight." I stopped myself taking a sharp inhale. Things would be OK, Adam and I are friends again. No need to worry.

"Can I come with you?" I asked sweetly.

"Nope, sorry darling. I can't take you with me. Why don't you go back to the Diva's locker-room and I'll meet you after your match?" I sighed, things would be OK.

"Sure. I'll see you later." I leaned up to kiss him but before I could the door in front of us swung open. A techie stood there.

"Bryan, time to film the promo." He nodded and kissed my cheek.

"Good luck with your match. You'll be great." I smiled and turned to walk away. But not before I caught a glimpse of Adam stood inside the room. I saw something in his eyes. He was planning something, and it wasn't good. Before I could say anything the door slammed shut and I was left in the corridor. Alone.

"Welcome to Monday Night Raw, I'm Michael Cole out at ringside with Jerry 'The King' Lawler here in Indianapolis with our Main Event tonight being leader of The Nexus, Wade Barrett vs. John Cena. But first we have a debut match for our new WWE Diva, Lillie Lovette."

I heard the commentary through the monitor next to the curtain and soon after I was joined by Eve who gave me her own personal version of the death glare. She walked over to me and whispered in my ear.

"You're the reason my relationship is over." She snarled. "I will break you." I smirked and looked her dead in the eyes.

"I'd like to see you try darling." She made a low growling noise just as her music began to play.

She looks good to me
She's got everything I want
She's got everything I need
She looks good!

I turned to the monitor and she strutted out all smiles. I rolled my eyes as Justin Roberts brought the mic to his lips.

"This bout is set for one fall. Introducing first. From Denver, Colorado. Eve Torres!" Eve climbed into the ring and hyped up the crowd. She was quickly interrupted by Zebrahead's 'Hell Yeah!' blasting through the arena.

Hell Yeah! Woooooo
*guitar*
Punk rock, trippin' with the flavour of hip hop
Spittin' out venom as I'm watching all your heads bob
Representing for the outcasts and the have nots
Fiending to find light in a world that has blacked out

I ran out and to my surprise the crowd was cheering for me. I put it down to the fact that I'd cut (what I thought) was a great promo and I helped Bryan at Night of Champions.

"And her opponent. From London, England. Lillie Lovette!" I climbed onto the turnbuckle and threw up the rocker sign, smiling to the crowd. I jumped off onto the mat and turned to Eve. The bell rung and we locked up…

*FF to end of match*

I had Eve in a sleeper hold and she was slowing fading out. The crowds reaction was mixed, half cheering for Eve and half for me. Eve (somehow) broke free and reversed the move into an Irish Whip, sending me flying into the turnbuckle. She did some pointless cartwheel thing but I moved out of the way. I kicked my leg up and it hit her, square in the face. She went down onto the mat face first and one thing struck my mind. My finisher. I tucked my arms under hers and bridged over, going into 'A Beautiful Mutilation' (or 'Cattle Mutilation' whatever). I heard Eve shriek with pain and she instantly began tapping out. The bell rung and Justin stood.

"And the winner of this match, by submission. Lillie Lovette!" I crowd cheered louder than I had heard for a long time as my music began to play. The ref raised my hand and I jumped up and down. Lillie 1 – Eve 0. I had won the battle, but not the war. Just as I was about to climb the turnbuckle to celebrate with the crowd when something smashed into my head. Hard. The cold feeling of steel. I'd been hit with a steel chair. I fell straight down onto the mat as the crowd loudly booed. I thought it was Eve who had hit me, but as I landed I saw Eve still led on the canvas. I heard the sound of many voices and one thought came to mind. Nexus. I was dragged over to the corner and I dared myself to open my eyes. As I did I saw Justin Gabriel on the top rope and before I could even move, he flew through the air and landed a perfect 450 Splash onto my chest. I closed my eyes and coughed, trying to get my breath back. 'We Are One' began to play and I opened my eyes. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Ben was stood over me wearing a Nexus shirt, smirking down at me. Seconds later I passed out…

'How did we get here? I used to know you so well.'

[Didn't see that one coming did you? ;) By the by, I do actually have a brother called Ben and he does want to be a Pro Wrestler. I let him be in this story because I'm so kind :P But he has to be bad because we are sworn enemies. Oh and I could beat him up. Anytime ;) This seems to be a chapter of shockers doesn't it! So to recap... Lillie realizes she is still in love with Adam, but she's with and is sort of in love with Bryan too, Eve hates her because she is the reason Adam broke up with her and her brother is apparently in The Nexus. Life's not to great for Lil is it? :( But it will be OK. Trust me :) & the quote 'Sometimes you need a second chance because time wasn't ready for the first one.' will be important throughout this story :) Until next time guys and dolls… Peace and Love! B xoxo]
