Disclaimer: Only own Piper
"Okay, I see her." I smirked at Punk as he stepped into the hallway and I listened carefully.
"Hey Nikki, how are things?"
"Uhh okay I guess."
"Great, is Brie looking forward to the match tonight?"
"Sure."
"Look I was just wondering if I could talk to you for a second."
"What about?"
"It's personal…"
"God is this about Barbie?"
"Yeah, it's about Barbie." I held my breath as they entered the room.
"So what is going on now?" I smirked as Punk scratched the back of his neck and pointed to me. As Nikki turned around I smiled at her.
"Hey." I said sweetly before grabbing on to her arm and pinning her against the wall.
"What the…!"
"Look sweetie, I'm going to make this short, I wasn't exactly feeling myself the other day, but the message is very clear. Stay the fuck away from Randy, he is not interested in a slut like you okay, so let it go he doesn't want you."
"You're crazy…"
"Oh honey this isn't crazy, but you keep pushing this situation and you will see crazy, so stop with the phone calls and the pictures, he has a family and you are not going to play any part in that, so just fuck off." I let go of her.
"You can go now." I said causing her to scarper.
"Okay Rocky we need to get out of here now." Punk said taking me by the arm.
"Yeah, yeah." He looked out the door before we ran out into the hallway then outside.
"Okay P, this is your shirt and here is your ticket, doors should be open now, so I'll catch you later."
"Thanks Phil, good luck tonight." He smiled at me.
"Just take care of yourself okay, Chicago is a fan of Piper Calaway."
"In that case I will be fine, so I will see you at show time!" I kissed his cheek before walking away.
Randy
"Come in!" I shouted at the door and the door opened to reveal Stephanie.
"Hey Randy."
"Steph."
"How are you?" I saw she was looking around the room.
"Fine."
"How is Piper?"
"What do you care?" She sighed and sat on the edge of the sofa.
"Of course I care Randy."
"I don't remember seeing you at the hospital Steph, or even calling to see if she was okay."
"I called Mark."
"And he talked to you?"
"Yeah." I nodded.
"Great, so you know how she is doing."
"What happened at John's house?"
"Nothing." I shook my head.
"Well Mark…"
"Look Steph I'm not in the mood to talk about this now and I know this isn't the reason you came here, so just spit it out." She sighed.
"Nikki seems to think Piper is backstage, do you know anything about that?"
"No I don't."
"Are you sure?"
"Look around Steph, does it look like she is here?" I said raising my voice.
"I guess not, sorry for disturbing you Randy." I ran a hand over my face as the door shut behind her.
I reached over for my phone and dialled Piper's number. When I received no answer I threw the phone across the room.
An hour later, I was watching the PPV on the TV screen in my locker room when I saw the Divas match had began. I did a double take as the camera went from Kelly holding the belt up to a familiar face in the crowd. She was here and she was glaring at what was occurring in the ring. As the match continued the crowd appeared to lose interest until a 'We want Piper' chant broke out. I couldn't help but smirk slightly. Losing interest in the match I left the locker room to head to the gorilla position. When I arrived I saw Stephanie freaking out.
"What's the problem?" I asked causing Steph to spin around.
"You knew she was here didn't you?"
"Actually I didn't."
"You best not be lying Orton, god damn it can we filter cheers in to block out that noise." From here the Piper chants were deafening.
"What is your problem?" I asked her.
"My problem is that she shouldn't be here and they shouldn't be chanting her name!"
"Are you hearing yourself right now?"
"Randy she threatened a member of our roster, you know she has a temper, she could do anything!"
"You think she is going to interfere with the show?" I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
"Well we aren't taking any chances, security is on alert, if we have reason to suspect she is going to jump the barricade…"
"Whoa, okay what has gotten into you, you know Piper as well as I do, she isn't going to interfere, she's probably just here to watch."
"I still want to know how she managed to get a front row seat."
"Well I may have something to do with that." I clenched my jaw as I heard Phil walk closer to us.
"Phil, what did you do?"
"I just invited a friend to watch my last match that is all."
"You invited Piper?" I asked him seeing red.
"Pretty sure that's what I just said Randall."
"So she is here for you?" He shrugged and smiled.
"I guess you could say that."
"You're going to be in a lot of trouble Phil if she jumps that barricade." Stephanie said.
"Oh don't worry she isn't going to do that, as I said she is here to support me." I saw him look towards me as he finished his sentence.
"I've got to go finish getting ready." I muttered walking away.
"Was it something I said!" I heard Phil say. Jackass.
When my music hit the crowd cheered and I walked out stalking Christian. It was all I could do not to look over at Piper. As I entered the ring ad moved towards the turnbuckle I glanced at Christian before posing for the fans. As I was there I looked over and saw Piper taking a picture of me with a smile on her face. It was then I noticed the CM Punk shirt on her back. She really was there for him. The match began and I tried my hardest to shut Piper out from my mind. However, I could make out the sweet southern drawl amongst the fans. God I missed her. It had been a couple of days since I had seen her at John's house and I hadn't talked to her since I saw her in Phils arms. Okay this is not the time to think of that. The Chicago crowd were behind Christian tonight but she wasn't. I could hear her cheering while the crowd booed and while they cheered for Christian she would boo. No she isn't here for me, she is here for him. The match continues with near three counts from both Christian and I. After I low-blowed Christian, I saw her face fall. As Christian was named champion I had to play up the act but I couldn't help but catch a glance of Piper. It took a lot of willpower to not smile at the cute look on her face. As I moved to RKO Christian through the Spanish announce table I turned my back to her as I delivered the move. But the table didn't break and I caught her eye as I sat up. She was concerned. I began to walk away and I felt the energy from the crowd. I moved back to Christian and picked him up again delivering a second RKO to Christian. I felt a surge of anger as the table didn't break again. As I hit the barricade, I took one last look at Piper before saying my piece to Christian and then walked to the back.
Piper
I let out a sigh as Randy walked into the back. I couldn't help but feel upset that they had dropped the title from Randy and he didn't tell me. Ha who are you kidding Piper, you didn't tell him you were going to be here tonight. The crowd picked up around me as the most anticipated match of the night got under way. The faint sound of CM Punk cheers could be heard throughout the arena until 'This Fire Burns' hit. I cheered as I saw him walk out. He stopped at the ramp to shout it's clobbering time. As he slowly walked down to the ring again the CM Punk cheers began and I joined in. As he got in the ring he got the crowd riled up and smiled at me and blew me a kiss. After parading around the ring he sat in the middle of the ring as his music faded and the Punk cheers continued. The crowd waited for Cena's music to hit as Punk remained in the middle of the ring. As the first chord struck of John's music the crowd booed and Punk left the ring. John looked focused as he headed straight to the ring with his head down. I watched as Punk clapped Cena and shook my head a little with a smirk. Punk walked around to where I was sitting and hugged me before joining Cena in the ring. As the match began I watched as two of my best friends put on an amazing match. I hadn't heard a crowd as fuelled up as this in so long, I was more than happy to be on this side of the barricade tonight. For once I actually felt like a fan, not just an employee and it was one of the best feelings. To be able to get caught up in the emotion of the fans was truly amazing.
When Vince walked out I was nervous. I had no idea whether this was planned or if this was Vince up to his old tricks. There was no mistaking that Vince was not one of Phil's biggest fans, and I wouldn't put it past him to make a statement on such a momentous occasion. I felt myself laugh as John hit Johnny Ace but then felt myself stop breathing as Punk set John up and then hit the GTS to get the three count. I jumped up in the air and cheered along with Chicago. I watched as Punk celebrated in the ring and I couldn't be happier for him. That joy was short lived however, as Vince walked to the announce table and then signalled to the back. After a couple of seconds the crowd booed as Del Rio ran down the ramp but as soon as he entered the ring he was met with a swift kick to the head by Punk. Once again the crowd went wild and Punk began to laugh. He suddenly made a swift exit from the ring and headed towards me. He jumped on the barricade in front of me, blew a kiss to Vince and then grabbed my arm before pulling me along with him in the crowd. We then stood at the top of the stairs as Punk raised the championship above his head before he grabbed my arm again.
"Come on let's get out of here." He said as we walked out of one the main doors of the arena.
When we got far enough away, I turned to Punk and hugged him.
"Oh my god that was amazing!"
"See aren't you glad I didn't tell you anything!"
"Yes of course, so what are we doing now?"
"I need to shower real quick, Colt is going to meet us and we are going to party on the streets of Chicago!"
"Okay well while you do that, I might just go and see Randy…" He pulled me closer.
"We aren't heading to the hotel P, come on I'll be quick." I nodded.
"Yeah okay sure." I said as I followed him.
So an hour later we were making our way through Chicago, taking goofy pictures with the belt and posting them on Twitter, as well as partying with the wrestling fans who were excited by tonight's events. We were making our way to get some food when I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. I pulled it out and saw Randy was calling. Just as I was about to accept the phone call, I felt Phil's arm drape around my shoulder.
"Thanks for being here tonight P." He said with a smile, causing me to forget about the device which was now in Phil's hands.
"I'm happy to be here Phil, tonight has certainly been entertaining." God he had a good smile.
"That it has, it's good to see you let your hair down as well."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"It's just nice to see you relaxing for once, these past couple of months have been tough for you, it's nice to see you in normal clothes instead of a hospital gown."
"You saw me the other day and I'm pretty sure I was in a bathing suit." We had stopped walking and he turned to me.
"Yeah but you were sad, I don't like to see you sad." I felt his hand on my cheek.
"Well I'm not sad tonight, it's been fun!" I hadn't noticed how close we were to each till I felt his breath on my face.
"It has, look let me do something for just a moment…" Before I could say anything else I felt his lips cover mine...
