Disclaimer: I do not own CM Punk or Colt Cabana. I only own my characters. The original story-line belongs to: Punk'sgirlForLifexxx. You guys should check her out and read her stuff, it's really good. I thank her for letting me have a go writing this story-line.

I will refer to CM Punk as Phil Brooks and Colt Cabana as Scott Colton. For other superstars I will use their ring names (mainly, there might be an exception).

Punk'sgirlForLifexxx: I needed to get it over and done with, this seemed like the perfect chance.

Scarlet's P.O.V.

It took me a while to sleep. And when I did, it wasn't pleasant.

"Scarlet." Phil shook me. "Wake up."

He was stood in front of me. I jumped into his arms, squeezing him tightly.

"Hush." He whispered into my head. "It was just a dream. No one is going to hurt you."

It's you I'm worried about, I thought. Tears trickled down my cheeks.

"Promise you'll keep in contact every night and every morning when you leave." I told him.

"I promise." He laughed. I missed that laugh. "Now sleep."

He walked out of my room and into his. I checked the clock. It read '05:23'. There was no way I could sleep again. I walked into the kitchen to get painkillers. My back was radiating heat, strongly. I had school today too. I didn't know if I could handle it.

I sat outside in the cool breeze. I was finally free of my mother and Rick. I was Scarlet Colton-Brooks. Then it hit me. I was Scarlet Colton-Brooks. Officially their child. A smile crept across my face. A feeling I hadn't felt in a while.

"What'cha doing?" Phil came and sat beside me.

"You adopted me." My voice softer than normal. "Why?"

"Why not?" He asked.

"I'm not worth it. Look at everything I've caused." I shook my head.

Phil's P.O.V.

I'm so happy that Roo is back. Safe and close. My heart stopped a thousand times while putting the disinfectant on. The way her body would tense up and shake. The way her tears came. The way after a while no noise was coming from her.

I wanted to bring her with me on the road. But I couldn't, she had school. Although, there was no way she was going today.

I explained to her why I agreed to adopt her. Scarlet Colton-Brooks had a nice ring to it. I wonder if she would start calling me dad.

"What have you guys been doing with me gone?" She asked.

"Honestly?" I eyed her. She nodded at me. "Nothing. I haven't slept. Scott hasn't slept. I'm glad he got a chance to rest last night."

"You need to sleep." She told me. "Promise me that too."

"Nope." I shook my head. "I don't sleep."

"I know." She laughed. That was music to my ears. "That's why I want you to sleep. Only five hours a night. That's more than you get now."

"For you, I'll try." I walked inside. "You're not going to school today."

"Fine." She didn't argue with my choice.

Scott's P.O.V.

I woke up to Phil playing his music loudly, which was a sign he was back to normal. I walked downstairs to find him and Roo with a cup of tea talking about music. Well, he was talking and Roo was listening.

"How are my two favourite people?" I asked kissing the top of for Roo's head.

"You're overly soppy today." Phil joked.

"I have my reasons." I punched him lightly. "When are you leaving?"

"Now." He sighed. "I was waiting until you woke up."

"Leaving so soon?" Scarlet pouted.

"I have too." He pouted back. "I'll see you on Friday. I promise."

"Bye." I waved as he walked out the door. It was me and Scarlet left alone. Me and my daughter.

Her eyes looked up at me warmly. Her smile seemed genuine.

"Can I give you a hug without you flinching?" I smiled. She jumped to her feet and wrapped her arms around me. "How are you feeling? Is your back hurting?"

"Nowhere as bad as last night." I saw pain in her eyes.

"I'm sorry." Was all I could say? "I'll take you to the hospital."

"No." She answered. "No hospitals, please."

"Why?" Might as well get this out of her. She's doing so well opening up.

"I don't like them." She shrugged.

"Reason." I eyed her.

"I've only been twice." She sat on the bar stool. "Both times I've been was to get told someone I love has died. That's why I don't open up to people. I don't want to love them, as bitter as it sounds."

I froze in my place. She just voluntarily told me that information, as much as it pained her. Scarlet, Scarlet, Scarlet. What am I going to do with you?

"Breakfast?" I tried to change the topic.

Scarlet's P.O.V.

Phil kept his promises, both of them. He rang every morning and night to check up. I reminded him to go to bed and he did. He always sounded grouchy in the morning now instead of sleepless. That must be a step forward!

Scott didn't allow me back into school until Thursday. He texted Caden saying I was going back. The doorbell rang in the morning. I opened the door to see Caden. He pulled me close to him, resting his head on mine.

"You had me so scared." He said once he let go. Scott and Phil better have not told him. I trusted them to keep this a secret.

"Why?" I eyed him.

"Scott said you got attacked." He frowned. "I didn't want you hurt." Good. They haven't told him anything.

"I'm fine." I smiled. "All better." I twirled.

"Let's go." He dragged me out the house.

The day went so slow, even with Caden around. The teachers nagged that I missed so much, and that I was going to fail. I didn't need them on my back about this. I knew everything was slipping out of my hand. When the bell rang to say it was the end of the day I was overly pleased.

I walked into the house but could see Scott.

'They'll be in a bin somewhere'

"SCOTT." I shouted.

"Up here." His voice came from his room. I let out a sigh of relief.

I rushed upstairs to see him playing on his x-Box. I laughed and left him. He'd done so much to look after me the past few days and I wanted to return the favour. I decided to make him mac and cheese with cut up sausages. His favourite.

"Something smells nice." He walked in as I plated the food. "For me?"

"Yes." I handed him a plate. "To say thank you."

"Food is a good way to thank me." He laughed.

We ate in silence then watched a film. I must have fallen asleep there because I woke up to find myself on the floor. I checked the time and I was late. I rushed around like a headless chicken trying to get my stuff together. Scott was still asleep so I left the house as quiet as I could.

"Want to do something this weekend?" Caden asked as we walked home.

"I don't know." I shrugged. "I can't tomorrow but Sunday is perfect." I wanted to spend time with Phil.

"Sunday is good for me to." He smiled. "How does swimming sound?"

"Actually…" I don't like swimming. "Not swimming please, we'll go to the movies?"

"Sure thing." He went to pat me on the back. I moved out of his way. Since the weekend whenever people came near my back I flinched away. "Sorry." He mumbled then left.

I sighed and walked into the house. Natalie was sat on the couch talking to Amy.

"Hey Nat." I smiled at her then turned to Amy. "Hey Amy."

"S'up kid." Natalie laughed. I sure have missed her too. "How are you?"

"Really well, you?" I laughed, she was infectious.

"Good."

I rushed up to my room to get dressed. I put on a pair of leggings then looked at my back in the mirror. It was so much better. The scabs were nearly gone but scars replaced them. My heart sank at the view. I put on a sweater then walked to the stairs. It was just as Phil came in with Scott. They both looked at me. I put on my most confident smile. It was around this time last week that I got took away.

"How much a week holds." Phil whispered in my ear. He understood.

"Sleep well?" I tested him.

"Very well." He gave a low chuckle.

"I've missed you." Amy wrapped her arms around him. This sent another shot of jealousy down my spine.

"You too." He kissed her.

"Bedroom." Scott threw a pillow at them, making me laugh.

"Soon." Phil winked.

"Phillip!" Scott snickered. "Not in front of our child."

The whole room froze and looked at him. It turns out Natalie and Amy didn't know.

"Inside joke." Scott said quickly. Natalie laughed it off.

"Pizza?" Phil asked after a moment of awkwardness.

"Please." I shuffled around in my seat.

We all ate the pizza and everyone left one by one. Natalie left early as her son was ill. Amy and Phil went back to Amy's place, leaving me and Scott.

"I guess it's just you and me kid." Scott joked.

"I'm going out on Sunday." I told him.

"No you're not." He lips pressed in a straight line. "I'm not letting you out of my sight for a while."

"But, I promised Caden." I said. "I can't not turn up."

"I'll tell him to come over." Scott and serious didn't match. "Enough said young lady."

"Fine." I laughed at him. "I'm going to bed."

That night was another night I couldn't sleep. I lay awake in bed listening to the smallest of sounds. My eyes would sometimes close but they didn't offer anything comforting just images I never wanted to see in real life.

It was six in the morning why I heard someone try and unlock the door. I tiptoed down the stairs to see Phil.

"Morning." I whispered, not wanting to wake up Scott.

"Morning Roo." He closed the door behind him. "Sleep well?"

"Yes." I lied.

"Don't lie to me young lady." He narrowed his eyes. How did he know? "I know sleepless eyes when I see them."

"I'm fine." I tried to give a convincing smile. "How are you?"

"Good." He shrugged. "Amy seems very touchy feely."

"What's wrong now?" I asked. They'd been having problems for as long as I'd known them.

"Nothing I want to read into." He sighed. "How are you?"

"Good." I lied again.

"Very well." Phil said. "What are your plans for summer?"

"Take it a day at a time?" I had no clue what he meant.

"No plans them." He laughed. "Good, you're coming on road with me." I raised an eyebrow.

"Creative team wants to meet you." He explained. "Scott will be coming too. Don't worry."

"Oh. Okay then." I agreed. It's not like I had a choice.

"You'll be away from here too." Phil said. "You escape everything."

I would? If only they'd stop showing up when I closed my eyes.
