I stood there, watching as Sterling and Adri held each other close. I felt the lump in my throat form, and the knot and my stomach only grew tighter when she kissed him. She kissed him. Not the other way around. But he didn't fight it. I turned on my heel and walked out towards the parking lot.

"That was quick." Shelley said when I opened and slammed the car door.

"Shut the fuck up."

------------

NORMAL P O V

-------------

I pulled my set of keys from my pocket and waved back to Sterling who was waiting in the car to make sure I got in okay. I pushed the heavy door open, then shut and locked it behind me, allowing myself to fall back against it. That had been one of the best days of my life. Me and Sterling had decided not to tell people about us yet, but we did have another date set up for tomorrow. If anyone asked, we were training.

"Petey, I'm home" I called into the dark apartment before flicking on the lights. When I didn't hear or see a response from him, I figured he was already asleep. I still didn't want to be in my old room, but now that I was with Sterling, I probably shouldn't be sleeping in the same bed as another guy. I walked over to the coach and pulled out the hide-a-bed, that rested in front of the TV. If Petey got suspicious, I could just tell him I didn't want to wake him up so I just slept out here. Once I had the bed pulled out, I went to go find fresh sheets to put on it. God knows how long the sheets that were on it had been there.

Due to lack of space, and pure laziness the extra hide a bed sheets were stored on the bottom shelf of out kitchen pantry. I headed towards the kitchen, and went to hang up my keys, when I saw a note on the counter

Went out

-Petey

"Hmm, he always was one for details." I laughed , before grabbing the sheets.

Within a half an hour I was in my pajama's sprawled out on the hide-a-bed channel surfing, when there was a knock on the apartment door. I figured Petey had forgot his keys, and didn't bother looking through the peep hole. My breath caught in my throat at what I saw.

"What he hell happened?" I directed at Shelly, who was helping Chris Sabin carry Petey's unmoving, and apparently bleeding form into the apartment.

--------

Alex's P O V

---------

"He got totally wasted. I haven't ever seen him get that drunk." Sabin started to explain, as we set Petey down on the hide a bed. "Then some guy came up to him, trying to start a fight, and Petey could barely stand, but you know him, wont back down from anything, and he got his ass kicked. Hard." Sabin finished, as Phili rushed off into the kitchen to get the first aid kit to try and clean his wounds.

"Why the fuck was he so god damn hammered in the first place?" Phili asked, cleaning up a pretty nasty cut on his forehead, wiping away the now dried blood.

Chris and I shrugged at the same time.

"We went to the mall earlier today. And he was fine then. But then he went to go to the bathroom, and when he came out he was pissed off." I said, hoping she couldn't see through my lie. On the drive home I had pried out of Petey what had pissed him off. Everybody knew that Petey had feelings for Phili. Except Phili.

"How much have you two had to drink?" I asked, as Alex stumbled a little bit.

"Not much" The both said in unison, which is man-code for "I'm piss ass drink but I hold my liquor well."

"Alex your staying in my room. Chris you can stay in Petey's. I'm not letting you drive home."

"Where are you gonna sleep?" Chris asked

"I'll stay out here with Petey. In case he needs anything. I should probably have some coffee on hand too." I stated to no one in particular. "Now both of you off to bed." I said firmly. Neither of them fought me on it either. Evidently it had been a rough night for all of them. I got up from the bed once both doors were closed and started to make some coffee. Once it was done I poured it into three cups and placed them in the microwave for easy access and re-heat ability (I don't think that's a word but oh well you know what I mean).

I walked back over to the hide a bed and gently started to take Petey's boots off. Once I had successfully removed those, I gingerly removed his jacket. That would have to do, because I really didn't feel like taking his pants off. I then snuck quietly into his room where Sabin was already passed out, fully clothed on top of the covers. I slowly opened the closet door to not make any noise and removed one of the extra comforters. I brought it back out to the living room and covered Petey up with it best I could. I gently slid a pillow under his head and then turned my attention back to bandaging his wounds.

A few gauze patches, some Spiderman band-aids, and a wrist wrap later, all of Petey's wounds were sufficiently covered. At that moment I was glad for the 4 years of sports med I took in high school. I made sure everything was okay with Petey and went back into the kitchen to put on another pot of coffee. This one was for me. This was going to be a long night. While that was getting ready I grabbed an old bucket from the pantry and placed it at Petey's bedside, just in case he didn't make it to the bathroom.

I poured myself a cup of coffee, and sat down next to him on the bed, And prepared myself for the long night to come.

-------

Petey ended up sleeping all the way through the night. It turned out to be Alex that was the puker. Poor guy, must have gotten up at least 6 times before 9 o clock in the morning. I felt horrible for him, and helped him as much as I could, but there wasn't much I could do besides get a cold washcloth between bathroom visits.

Sabin threw up once, about a half an hour after he originally passed out, and was quiet for the rest of the night. At around 10 I started making the boys breakfast, knowing that it might make them feel a little better to get some food in there stomachs.. One rule to always remember, Don't deprive professional wrestlers of their food.

"God lord that smells good." Sabin said as he shuffled into the kitchen and gave me a hug.

"Thanks for letting me stay." He whispered in my ear.

"Its no problem sweetie!" I said returning the hug, even though his clothes reeked of alcohol.

"Do you mind if I take a shower?" HE asked as he pulled away. I shook my head no, and went into Petey's room to find him some clean clothes. I found a pair of shorts and an old wife beater, and laid them on the bathroom counter, I pulled some fresh towels out from under the cabinet.

I walked back into the kitchen to find Sabin sitting in one of the bar stools his head down on the cold fake marble of the bar, asleep again. I smiled, and decided I should probably check on Alex. I opened the bedroom door slowly so not to wake him. I couldn't help but smile at how innocent he looked when he was asleep. Normally he was a swearing, woman chasing, smart ass , that everybody loved anyway. But when he was asleep, all that was wiped away, as he lay there, clutching one of the extra pillows. I smiled and slowly shut the door.

Just I did there was a loud knocking at the front door. I rushed across the apartment as fast as I could without making to much noise, not wanting to wake any of them up. I stood on my tip toes to look through the peep hole and wanted to kick my self when I saw Sterling standing outside the door. I had completely forgot about our date. I hadn't even gone to sleep yet.

I slowly opened the front door, and Sterling came at me with a hug.

"Hey babe" He said and leaned down to kiss me.

"Um…" I heard a voice say from behind us. I turned around to see Sabin had woken up and was staring at us in shock from his seat on the barstool. "Did I miss something?" He asked, looking confused.

"Um Chris you know Sterling right?" I asked trying to avoid his questions.

"Yeah…" Chris said still confused. "I um… didn't know you two were… that close…" He said, trying not to be blunt.

"Nobody knows." I said quickly. "And they are not going to know." I added. "Please Chris?"

"Scouts honor" He said, before putting his head back down on the counter.

"You were never in the scouts Chris." I laughed, and walked into the kitchen to get him a cup of coffee.

"Sterling do you want anything?"

"I'm good hellcat" he said, sitting down next to Chris at the bar.

"Chris I got everything ready for your shower. If you give me your clothes after, I'll wash them for you." I offered, setting the coffee cup down gently, trying not to make to much noise.

"Thanks" He said before chugging the entire cup of coffee in one try, and stalking off towards the bathroom.

"Someone looks like they hard night." Sterling said, eying Petey's passed out form that was still laying on the hide a bed.

"They all did. Alex is sleeping in my room. Poor guy, probably threw up everything he's eaten for the past two weeks." I mused, grabbing a cup of coffee for myself before letting out a yawn.

"How much sleep did you get last night?" He asked

"Sleep? Ha, who needs sleep." I smiled, taking a long gulp of my coffee.

"You" Sterling said flatly. But as he did, Petey started thrashing about in the bed and mumbling, obviously having a nightmare.

"Duty calls" I smiled, and walked over and sat down next to him on the bed.

"No….no….not the frogs…I don't want the frogs….there gonna eat me….. No!" Petey yelled still asleep. I tried as hard as I could not to laugh, before putting my hand gently on his face.

"Petey, baby, its just a dream, its okay" I said waking him up unintentionally.

"Morning." I whispered, brushing some of the loose stray hairs away from his eyes.

Petey's P O V

-------

"Hey" i whispered back, before the memories of the day before cam flooding back. All I could see was her and Sterling kissing, holding each other.

"Hey Hellcat, I'm gonna go. Call me later." Sterling said before walking out the door.

"What the hell was he doing her?" I shot angrily, without meaning too. Adri shot me a look, surprised at the way my attitude had changed.

"He just came by to say hello." She shrugged. "How are you feeling?" She asked, quickly changing the subject, which was probably a good thing.

"Horrible." I answered truthfully, but didn't elaborate.

"You got the shit beaten out of you." She said, her warm expression turning cold. "Couple of nasty cuts, sprained wrist, but nothing to serious. Your lucky though, you didn't lose to much blood. It could have been worse. Care to tell me why you were so god damn hammered?" She said angrily.

"None of your business" I shot back just as angrily.

"When my best friend in the world come home unconscious and bleeding, it becomes my business." She yelled standing up from the bed.

"Uh.. Can we not yell." I whispered clutching my head in agony. Beer was fun while it lasted, but payback was a bitch.

I looked up at Adri and her harsh expression softened slightly. She walked off into the kitchen, and I flopped back down on the bed.

She returned a few seconds later with a cup of coffee.

"I'm sorry." She said lightly, handing me the cup.

"For what?" I asked, sitting up to take it from her.

"I don't know. I do know you are mad at me, and I don't like that. No matter what Petey, you have always been there for me since the first day I met you. I don't ever want to lose that. I've lost enough friends for one lifetime. Losing Andy was hard enough. I don't even want to think about losing you." She said, eyes slightly glassy, as tears started to form. I sighed and stood up and pulled her into a hug, as she cried silently on my shoulder.

"Hey, um, you guys got anything else I can wear?" I heard a voice say from behind me. We both turned around to see Sabin, standing in the middle of the apartment, wearing one of my wife beaters that was about three sizes to small and didn't even come down to his belly button, and we both couldn't help but to laugh.

----------------

FOLLOWING SUNDAY, GENISIS

-----------------

I could hardly contain my excitement as I bounced around the locker room with AJ and Chris.

"You guys ready for tonight?" I asked, trying to break the dull silence.

"Not as ready as you seem to be." AJ smiled, pulling the tape from his equipment bag and tossing it to me. It was one of his silly superstitions, he never taped his own wrists. Why? I am not sure, I never really bothered to ask.

"So I heard you played mother hen on Thursday." Daniels said, as I started on AJ's right wrist.

"What?" I asked sounding confused.

"Heard you had three pretty hammered boys to look after." He said, leaning against the locker with a smirk.

I laughed a little. "Yeah but they were passed out most of the time. All I did was make coffee and make sure Alex made it to the bathroom in time." I smirked, remembering how innocent he had looked while he was sleeping.

PETEYS P O V

------

"I cant believe she still hasn't said anything yet" I yelled, kicking the locker door.

"I am still confused here." Bobby Roode said as he sat listening to Petey rant.

"Because I know, that she knows, that I don't know, but what she knows, I know, isn't what I really know. I know that she knows she should have told me already and she knows it too."

"Oh yah, that cleared it up." Bobby said sarcastically.

"Shut up" I shot at him angrily, before reaching for my beer that sat on the bench in front of me. I raised it up to my lip's but Bobby swiftly grabbed it out of my hand.

"Jesus Christ Petey, you are turning into James!" Bobby shouted, tossing the beer into the garbage can.

"I don't need this." I muttered angrily before shoving the locker room door open harshly, and storming off.

---------

Normal P O V

---------

I paced back and forth in front of the monitor, as Alex Shelley sat next to me, rubbing his neck from his 4 way number one contender match earlier on in the PPV.

"Calm down already your giving me a headache." Alex said, as I paced in front of him.

"Fuck off." I shot jokingly, my excitement turning to nervousness, as AJ and Chris began to get the upper had. Any minute now Gail Kim would trip AJ. That was my cue. I stopped my pacing and bent down to tighten my brace.

"Have you seen Petey?' I asked Alex when I stood back up, wondering why I hadn't seen him yet.

"Look, Gail Kim just tripped him, you better go." Alex said, sounding almost, relieved.

"God luck" he yelled, as I took up off the tunnel.

Mike Tenay- And Gail Kim just tripped up AJ Styles. I'm not surprised are you Don?

Dan West- Not at all Mike.

Mike Tenay- Wait what's this? Gail Kim has just been jumped from behind. Who is that?

Don West- I don't know Mike this is just bizarre! Is that a fan? Who is that?

Mike Tenay- Oh my god, Don, that's Phili Wilson! My god, we haven't seen her in TNA in over two years. And she seems to be giving Gail Kim quiet a beating. I think Gail Kim is out cold.

After Gail was down, I went over to check on AJ, who was still laying on the mat.

"Hey" I whispered, tapping him on the shoulder

"Bout damn time you showed up." he said with a small smile. "Grab me a chair so I can get this over with." I nodded and ran to next to the announce tables and grabbed up a steal chair. I folded it up and slid it in the ring to AJ, while the referee was distracted by Chris and James who were brawling on the outside of the ring. Chris Harris came closer to AJ, who quickly spun and whacked him hard in the head with the chair, making the crowd go nuts. AJ slid the chair back out to me and I shoved it under the ring. AJ got down and covered Chris for the pin, as I got up on the apron and shouted at the referee. He turned around and seeing AJ had Chris covered started his count.

1.….2.….3.

I screamed in excitement and jumped into the ring with AJ, who caught me in a hug, and spun me around in circles as the crowd went crazy.

"Welcome back" He whispered in my ear. I smiled and hugged him tighter.

He put me down just as the announcer began to say.

"Your winners, and the NEW NWA Tag Team Champions of the world. AJ STYLES, AND CHRISTOPHER DANIELS!"

Chris slid back into the ring and gave me a hug as well, before the referee handed them their belts. I stood in between then and raised there hands in victory. The next thing I knew, I was on top of AJ and Chris's shoulders, Chris's title raised high in the air above my head. If possible the crowd cheered even louder then before.

---------

"Great job out there hellcat." I heard a familiar voice say from behind me as I walked back down the tunnel.

I turned to see Sterling's smiling face

"What are you doing here?" I asked, throwing myself at him with a hug.

"What you think I would miss your re-debut? Forget about it missy.' He said, holding me at shoulders length.

"So you want to um… go…. Talk?" He asked, glancing over at the group of people who had formed around to congratulate Chris and AJ.

"Yeah." I smirked, and followed him down towards Chris and AJ's locker room, where we knew they wouldn't be returning to for a long time.

As soon as the door shut behind us I grabbed Sterling by the back of the head and pulled him into a long kiss.

"What was that for?" He smiled, when I finally pulled away.

"Oh so now I have to have a reason to kiss you?" I asked

"Hey it's a free country" He shrugged with a smile, before pulling me closer to him, and locking me into another deep kiss.

This time we were interrupted by the sound of the door opening. I immediately pulled away from Sterling and spun around to so Petey standing in the doorway.

He opened his mouth to say something, but then closed it again, and stormed off down the hall.

"Petey wait." I called after him, running out the locker room door. By the time I caught up to him he was almost in the parking lot

"Petey stop, will you just listen to me?" I yelled, putting a hand on his shoulder to turn him around. He spun around quickly which caught me off guard. But the scariest thing for me, was his eyes. I had never seen so much anger and hate in his eyes.

"So know you feel like talking?" He spat venomously.

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" I shot back.

"You know god damn well what it means. God do you think I'm totally thick or something?" He shot back, not really caring that a few people were stopped and looking at us.

"What the fuck are you talking about?" I shot back, still confused.

"I saw you. With him. At the mall. I've know for almost a week. And all you did was lie to me. Your going out to "train" with him? What a bunch of fucking bull shit. I thought we were friends Adri? I thought I could trust you?" He spat, angrier than I had ever seen him before.

"I…I… You can trust me Petey." I said, trying to get my thoughts into sentences

"Oh so now your going to god damn lie to my face? After you lied to me about everything for a week, your going to stand here and say I can trust you? That hurts Adri. It hurts that you think that little of me." He said before turning and walking away.

I was to shocked to even go after him. I just stood there not knowing what to do.

"Phili, are you okay?" I heard the gentle voice of Sonjay Dutt say from behind me.

I turned to face him and opened my mouth to say something, but couldn't. I just broke down. I started bawling and fell into Sonjay's arms. He stood there holding me awkwardly. Me and Sonjay had never been close, and I am sure he wasn't expecting this.

"What's wrong?" I heard a voice say from behind Sonjay a few minutes later.

"I don't know man. I just came up and asked if she was okay, and she just started crying." Sonjay answered, his voice dripping with concern. I felt Sonjay's arms release from around me as another strong pair picked me up. I looked up to see it was AJ, with a concerned etched all over his face.

I wanted to tell him what was wrong, but every time I tried to say something, I ended up sobbing heavily into his shoulder. Finally he picked my legs up off the ground with one arm, while one was still placed behind my back.

"Lets get you home." He whispered.

"No" I said, as best I could through the tears. "I… I don't want to see him." Was all I could manage to say. AJ nodded, and started to walk off towards the parking lot.

AJ set me down next to his car and opened the door for me. I climbed in and buckled my seatbelt with shaking hands. Aj got in next to me and started the engine.

"Wait… Sterling." I whispered through the tears.

"He left, he wanted me to tell you goodbye." Aj said, putting his hand on top of mine. I looked down at his hand, and he immediately pulled it away, and started driving.
