Chapter 12

"You've been really quiet lately." Beth commented on the way to the next arena.

I shrugged from my seat in the back of the car, not looking away from the window. That didn't stop me from seeing the look exchanged between Nattie and Beth out of the corner of my eye. I sighed, knowing I would eventualy have to tell them the truth and there was no point in putting it off any longer. I had been mopey and distracted since that kiss with Punk. That wonderfully, mind blowing, scary kiss with Punk. Oh god, I didn't even know what to think about that. I had spent so long hating him and then, in minutes, I learn that my hate was for the wrong person, and I didn't know what to do now.

"Can you guys pull over?" I quietly asked.

Nattie nodded, pulling out at the next rest stop. I got out, breathing in the air as I waited for the girls to get out behind me.

"Are you feeling sick?" Nattie asked.

I shook my head turning to face them, "I'm sorry I haven't told you sooner, but I was trying to get this all sorted out in my head."

In one big rush, I let everything that had happened last week out. My cousin showing up, the fight between him and Punk, me finding out the truth, the fight between my cousin and myself, and finally Punk's room, even the kiss before I had bolted. By the end of it, I was in tears, sitting on the nearest bench, both girls on either side of me, an arm each around me. And after, they just sat with me as I sobbed it all out. Years of pain, anger, and guilt being cried out.

When my sobs died down and I felt calmer, I took a deep breath, straightening out. "I'm sorry for the tears."

They both shushed me.

"I'm glad you finally came clean." Nattie said. "No wonder you've been acting weird all week."

"It was a lot to take in." I told her, wiping my eyes.

"No doubt." Beth said. "And to add Punk kissing you on top of it?"

"How do you go from hating someone to being ok with him kissing you?" Nattie finished.

"My thoughts exactly." I told them with a watery smile. "Thanks for listening to me but we should probably get back on the road."

"Are you sure you're okay?" they both asked.

I nodded. "I'm better but we really should go."

We all got back into the car, talking and laughing now that I had gotten everything off my chest. When we got to the arena, we could already see a camera crew outside, taping our arrival.

"What's going on?" I asked in confusion. "It's like they're waiting for us."

We got out of the car, grabbing our gear bags and heading inside. We were immediatly bombarded by the camera, followng our every move.

"Take out the belt." Someone on the crew told me.

Finally clueing in that they were doing this to further the storyline, I pulled the belt out, letting Natalya and Beth wrap it around my waist as we all laughed before walking down the hall. Once we were out of camera range, Triple H walked up to us.

"You ladies have your own room and Carissa, you're not ringside tonight. I want you walking out with Beth and Natalya."

We all nodded and when he walked away, burst into giggles, hurrying down the hall to our room, when we got inside, we flopped onto the couch and chairs that were in there.

"Who knew that Carrie stealing the title was all it took to get our own room, not even Kelly gets that." Nattie said with a giggle.

"I should definitely do this more often." I said with a big smile.

"What are you going to do when she calls us out there?" Beth asked.

"Simple. I want a title match."

They both looked at me with wide eyes.

"Not for me, geniuses, for Beth. To make up for Night of Champions. It's time for you and us to properly have the belt, then I can really rub that in Kelly's face, I think it would be fun." I gave them a big smile.

"And what are you going to do if you run into Punk?" Nattie asked.

My smile faded. "Run the other way?"

"Did you enjoy the kiss?"

I bit my lip before nodding.

"Maybe you should talk to him?" Beth suggested.

"I kind of like my whole idea of running away better."

"You would." Nattie said with a laugh. "how can you risk your safety by helping us out, yet run away when you see Punk."

I stuck my tongue out at her. "I never claimed to have great logic."

we all burst into another round of giggles before finally settling down enough to get ready for the night. We hid out in our room, watching the show until Kelly's music played and her and Eve stormed down to the ring, their faces taut with anger.

"Ready?" Beth asked.

I nodded, grabbing the belt and laying it over my shoulder, following the girls to the curtain. I did not expect to see Punk there, watching on a monitor and for a moment, my steps faltered as I contemplated running back to the room. He stared at me as I walked by and I tried to gauge his reaction but his face revealed nothing as Nattie grabbed my hand pulling me through the curtain as Beth's music played. We stayed at the top of the ramp as the music was cut and we smiled down at them.

"Anything I can do for you?" I drawled to Kelly.

"You can give me my belt back." Kelly snapped. "I knew you were jealous because I'm a wrestler and you're just some stupid announcer."

"Really?" I asked, glancing at Natalya and Beth who gave me encouraging nods. The truth was all out now, really no point in holding back."Maybe I should tell you a story there Kelly Kelly. It's about a girl, who was trained by one of the greats on the indy circuit. Low Ki-" The crowd erupted into cheers. "-or as the WWE Universe knows him, Kaval." The cheers were even louder now and I smiled. My cousin really should still be working here.

"This girl could've been great, except she ended up in a match with someone who was way too big for her britches. Thought she was better that everyone and could do what the big girls do, kind of like you actually. And that nobody ended up hurting the girl who would've been amazing, and almost killed her and she was told she could never wrestle again. But this business was never about the paycheck for her. She actually loved this business and when she couldn't wrestle anymore, she decided to stick around anyway that she could. Not like you, or Eve, or any other Diva backstage who would've been gone in a heartbeat. She had the heart for this, just like Beth, just like Natalya. And you know who that girl was? Low Ki's cousin, Little Carrie Silver, better known as Carissa Silvestry. So really Kelly, and for any other girl back there who wants to start something with me? Learn who you're dealing with. Otherwise it just might come back and bite you in the ass."

"You can't even do anything." Kelly whined. "You said yourself you can't wrestle anymore."

"true. But I have your belt, don't I? You and every other Diva treating me like crap, saying I haven't paid my dues? How did that turn out for you Kelly? I have your belt and I made you just look like thee biggest idiot on live TV." The crowd was actually cheering me and I couldn't help my smile from growing.

"I want my belt back." She screeched.

"And you can have it back." I told her. "As soon as you beat Beth Pheonix for it tonight."

Natalya and Beth smiled as they stalked down to the ring, ignoring Kelly's screeching of it being unfair as a ref came down the ramp and into the ring.

"Not bad." Nattie whispered to me as she joined me outside of the ring and the bell rang to start the match

I shrugged. "Yeah, I figured that perhaps it was time to put her and every other biatch back there in their place."

"Recruiting you was probably the best idea ever." she said with a laugh.

"Now, Beth wins, and tada, we just showed the world how real Diva's do it."

The bell rang and we both turned back to the ring, our jaws dropping in disbelief. God that was quick. Beth was kneeling in the middle of the ring, a triumphant look on her face and Natalya and I screamed, rolling into the ring and jumping on top of her in excitement. I handed her the belt and we all stood up, Natalya and I lifting her arms. We turned to Kelly and Eve who was holding her up as they walked up the ramp, glaring at us.

"How did you do that so fast?" I asked.

"You."

I looked at Beth in confusion.

"She was yelling at you guys, demanding her belt back, so I gave her the glam slam, and I won."

We laughed, exiting the ring and walking up the ramp. When we cleared the curtains, I again noticed that Punk was standing there, this time watching the curtains for when we came through.

Running was looking really great about now.
