Raw live event

*Miz POV*

Something was wrong with Vanessa. I could feel it. Hell, I could see it. She didn't look like her normal self. She didn't smile as much and she didn't laugh as much. What was wrong with her? Is she okay? "Vanessa?"I asked. She smiled at me. Forced. "Are you okay?"I asked. She chuckled and nodded. "Of course I am Mikey! Why wouldn't I be?"She said, cocking her head to the side. I shrugged.

"I don't know...you just don't seem like yourself."

"You're imagining things Mikey."

She turned around. I put my hand on her shoulder and she tensed up. Now I knew something was definitely wrong. She's never tensed up when I touch her before. She forced herself to relax and looked back at me. "Do you need something Mikey?"She asked. I shook my head. She smiled and sat on the couch. "I'll...be right back Pearl."I said. She smiled and nodded. I walked out of the locker room silently. Shawn. Where is Shawn? I searched and searched. I didn't find him. If I were Shawn were would I be? CAFETERIA!

I ran to the cafeteria and sure, enough Shawn was in there. I walked up to him and he smiled. "Hey kid. What can I do for ya?"He asked. "I need you to talk to Vanessa."I said. He raised a brow. "What's wrong with my Mini Me?"

"That's the point! I don't know! I know you can get her to tell you whats wrong."

"Are you sure something's wrong?"

"I'm positive Shawn. Just go check it out for yourself alright?"

"Alright. I'll do that. Meanwhile, why don't you call Adam or Jeff? They might know."

"Good idea."

Shawn walked out of the cafeteria as I pulled my cell phone out. I dialed Adam's number and waited for him to answer. He answered on the fourth ring. "Why are you calling me Mike?"He asked. Not in a hostile way,just shocked. "What's going on with Vanessa?"I asked. Adam sighed.

"What's she doing?"

"Nothing persay."

"Then why do you say something's wrong?"

"All of her smiles and laughs are forced, and when I put my hand on her shoulder a few minutes ago, she tensed up. She's never done that. Ever. So tell me what's going on please."I said. Adam sighed again.

"Jay is what's going on."

"What'd Jay do this time?"

"He told her something...extremely creepy and unpleasant."

"Which is?"

"He told her he's seen her naked before."

"I hope you beat the shit out of him."

"Oh yeah. Almost broke my hand. Got a fine too, but I don't give a damn."

"Good. How much damage did you do to him?"

"Not enough in my opinion."

"So she's freaking out because of Jay."

"Yeah. She's just now come to understand that he has an obsession. She's terrified."

"I bet."

"If you really want to know what's going on, you should call Jeff. He was there when she had her breakdown."

"She had a breakdown?"

"Yeah. Jeff said it was the scariest thing he's ever seen."

"I'll call him then. Can you text me his number? I don't have it and I don't want to ask Vanessa for it."

"Yeah."

"Thanks."

Adam and I hung up. Seconds later I had Jeff's number.

*Shawn's POV*

I knocked on the door to the locker room Vanessa shared with Randy and Amy. "Come in!"Vanessa said. I walked in and smiled ast her. "Hey Mini Me!"I said. She grinned at me, and I saw what Mike meant. It wasn't real. "Shawnie!"She said. I went and sat by her. I threw my arm around her like I normally do, and she tensed up, but quickly relaxed. Something was definitely wrong. "Alright Mini Me, spill it."I said. She raised a brow at me. "What are you talkin' bout?"

"What's going on? C'mon, spill. I want to know why you're acting so off."

"I don't know whast you mean."She shrugged.

"Vanessa. You just tensed up when I put my arm around you. You have never done that and you wouldn't start unless something was wrong. So tell me what's wrong."

"Nothing's wrong Shawn."

"Don't lie to me Vanessa."

"I'M NOT LIEING TO YOU SHAWN!"She yelled.

She was standing now. "That's all everyone's doing today! What's wrong Vanessa? Let me help! You've never done that before! Why aren't you all happy today? I'm tired of it! PEOPLE CHANGE!"She yelled the last part. She looked at me with tears in her eyes. "Jay did. For the worse."She whispered. Then it hit me like a ton of bricks. Jay. He was doing or had done something to her. But what?

"Vanessa...what did Jay do?"I asked carefully.

She laughed humorlessly. "When you think about it, it's not really that bad. But he told me he's seen me naked before. Without my permission. But whatever it isn't a big deal."She said. My eyes widened. That was a huge deal! If he was willing to spy on her, then he was definitely willing to do more! I stood up.

"It's a huge deal Vanessa! Don't downplay it!"

"It really isn't Shawn."

"Someone staring at you naked without your permission is a big deal. I bet you've locked every single door you could when you were changing and closed every curtain tighter. I bet you haven't even let Jeff touch you that much."

"Yeah, but-"

"But nothing Vanessa!"

"STOP MAKING A BIG DEAL OUT OF IT!"

"NO! I'M WORRIED ABOUT YOU!"

"WELL DON'T! I DIDN'T ASK YOU TO!"

"NOT VERBALLY, BUT YOU'RE EYES SCREAM HELP ME!"

"NO THEY DON'T SHAWN! WILL YOU PLEASE JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP? IT'S OVER AND DONE WITH! I CAN'T CHANGE IT AND NEITHER CAN YOU, MIKEY,JEFF,ADAM,OR RANDY!"

"You need to talk it out with someone Vanessa. Or else you're going to self-destruct. I've seen this happen before." I said, no longer yelling.

"Get out Shawn."

I was stunned. Did she really just say that? I just stood there. She looked at me with anger in her eyes. "I SAID GET OUT SHAWN!"She yelled, pointing at the door. I sighed. If I stayed, I would make it worse. I exited the room. I flinched as she slammed the door behind me. You'd have to be deaf to not hear her crying as soon as she thought I was gone. It broke my heart.

*Amy POV*

I walked casually into mine, Vanessa's and Randy's locker room. I hadn't seen Vanessa all night. What I saw crumpled on the couch was not what I expected. I immeadiately ran over to her. "Vanessa! What's wrong?"I asked worridely(real word?). She looked at me with red rimmed eyes. She'd been crying. "Tell me who it was and I'll murder them."I said. She laughed. It didn't sound like a laugh though. More like choking. What was going on? Adam's kept me in the dark...

"It wasn't anything Amykins."She said softly.

"Like hell it wasn't Essiekins. Tell me what's wrong."

Vanessa narrowed her eyes at me. What'd I say? She sat up and looked at me in anger. "Nothing's wrong. Jesus."She said. She stood up and walked to the door. "Stay out of my business Amy. You and everyone else."She said. She walked out, slamming the door behind her. I sat there, dumbstruck. Adam. I needed to call Adam. I pulled out my cell and did just that.

"Hey babe. What's up?"

"What the hell is wrong with your sister and why did no one bother to tell me?"

*Miz POV*

Randy, Shawn, Amy and I sat in the cafeteria. As I looked around the table I saw expressions that mirrored my own. Worry. "What'd you get from Jeff Mike?"Randy asked. I sighed. "He said she broke down in the rain. She kept whispered how she was scared because Jay was getting worse and worse. She made Jeff promise he wouldn't let Jay touch her. Jeff said it was by far the scariest thing he's ever seen. The state she was in terrified him."I reported. Everyone frowned. Randy looked to Shawn. "What about you? What'd you get?"

Shawn sighed. "I got screaming and yelling. She yelled at me and then told me to get out. She slammed the door behind me. As soon as I she thought I was gone, I could hear her crying."He said. Shawn looked close to tears himself. Randy looked to Amy. "That's about what I got too. Except she left."She said. We all nodded.

"What'd you get Randy?" I asked.

He ran his hand over his face in frustration. "I got crying. Just plain out bawling her eyes out. Then she went completely bipolar on me and started screaming. I don't know what's happening."He said. Shawn piped up. "She's self destructing. I told her that was she doing. She didn't seem to care."He whispered.

We looked at him. Shawn seemed to be taking this the worst out of anyone here. "I'm just happy she doesn't have a match tonight. Who knows what would happen."Amy said. We all nodded. What were we going to do? Vanessa refused to believe there was anything wrong and won't let anyone in.

"Did she say anything about Jeff and Adam?"I asked Shawn.

He shrugged. "The only thing I got was she doesn't let Jeff touch her as much anymore. Adam either, I'm guessing. I have one question though. Has anyone bothered to tell Mark what's going on?"

The table was silent. None of had. Maybe that'd be a good idea. He could talk some sense into her. "Call him Shawn. Tell him."I nodded and got his phone out. He spent a good 15 minutes on the phone with Mark. When he hung up he had a small, hopeful smile on his face. "Mark will be here next week."He said. We nodded. "Good."Randy said.

*Vanessa's POV*

I walked around the arena, not really knowing what to do with myself. I didn't have a match, I'd yelled at all my friends to stay away, and I'd left my phone in the locker room. What was I supposed to do? I kept my eyes trained on my feet and not where I was going. I ended running into something solid. Or rather a someone. I looked into the ice blue eyes that stared back at me. Before I had time to respond, something was pressed against my nose and mouth. Within seconds my world went dark.

*Miz POV*

All four of us walked back to the locker room, intent on an intervention. When we opened the door, we were disapointed to find Vanessa was not there. "Damn it! Where is she?"Randy asked. I noticed her phone on the table. Bad sign. I looked at Amy. "Go check it. See if she got a message from someone to meet them somewhere."I said. Amy rolled her eys, but did it anyway.

She scrolled through Vanessa's phone and stopped. She stared at the screen for hours it seemed, before she turned it around to show the rest of us. It was a message from a blocked number, but the message alone said who it was. -Tonight is the night my love. Be ready.- "Shawn call Jeff,Amy you call Adam. Mike, you come with me."Randy said. We all did as we were told. I followed Randy on the search for Vanessa.

*One hour later*

"GOD DAMN IT!"Randy yelled, punching the wall. "Where the fuck is she?"Randy demanded. I could tell he was scared, I was too. We couldn't find her anywhere. I saw Amy running up to us. "You find her?"I shook my head. Amy looked close to tears. "Adam's pissed. Shawn tells me Jeff is too. Mostly, they're scared."She reported. "I'm scared too, Mike."She whispered. I oput my hand on her shoulder. "We're going to find her Ames. We will."I told her. The sad part was I didn't even fully beleive my own words.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand KIDNAPPED! You guys aren't stupid so I know you know by whom. The next chapter, I have bigs plans for. And I just re-read this story and I smirk at how well Jay hid his feelings. Indeed he is sneaky. I also realized I haven't said much on Vanessa wanting to get out of Adam's shadow. I'm sorry, it's gonna happen at some point. I promise haha. But I hope you enjoyed and review please!
