Fifty-One
Celina felt like shit as she returned to the backstage area. Her tenure as a SmackDown Diva was officially over and she was about to be an ECW Diva. She felt pretty extreme as she looked in the mirror and saw the dark bruising around her eyes. It had been utter chaos when she had gotten backstage. Glen had put her down in time for her to throw up violently. Shane McMahon had been beside her, holding her hair back while Glen rubbed her back. Shelton had a hard time making his way through all the people who had crowded the halls in hopes of taking care of Celina. Shane looked over at Glen. "Get her to Rios; her nose is definitely broken." Glen nodded. Shane stood to his feet and stared at the sea of people. "Back up!" he shouted, "Back up! She needs to get to the trainer!" The people parted like the Red Sea as Glen and Celina made their way towards the trainer's room.
"How are you feeling, honey?"
"I haven't eaten dinner yet...why am I throwing up?" she whined. Glen smirked; she was so cute, despite the fact her nose was still bleeding and she was covered in blood. They made it to the trainer's room where Dr. Rios was waiting. He had her sit up while he worked at fixing up her nose and stopping the bleeding. From there they were going to have to straighten her nose and more than likely glue it shut. She groaned.
Shelton made his way down the hallway. He had caught the instant replay once he had gotten back from talking to Ted DiBiase, Jr. He was instantly worried. She had carried on, and he admired her for working through the injury despite being a beginner, but now he was worried. He was pretty sure that her nose was broken. She had looked pretty worse for the wear. But he was thankful that Glen had made it out there to give her a hand.
The door to the trainer's office opened and Glen stepped out. "Shelton."
"Glen, is she all right?" Glen contemplated his answer.
"I guess it depends on your definition of all right," Glen answered honestly. "She's thrown up her stomach contents, her eyes are black and blue and there's a good chance that her nose is going to be glued shut for the night. And once it's reset...poor thing is going to be in a world of pain that no amount of kisses and cuddles will help."
Shelton cocked an eyebrow. Glen shook his head. "Can I see her?"
"They're working on her right now," Glen told him, closing the door behind him. "She doesn't want anyone to see her in that condition." They heard a bloodcurdling scream from beyond the doors. Shelton tried to rush in but Glen held him back. "It's okay; she's fine, Shelton," Glen assured him. "They just set her nose. Dr. Rios promised that he would come out when it was finished and then we could visit her. You can take her back to the hotel, make sure she's comfortable and keep her sedated." He nodded.
"Fucking bitch probably did it on purpose."
"I didn't catch it," Glen replied, "But knowing everything going on with those two, I wouldn't rule it out." He shook his head. "I wouldn't be surprised if she's gone into shocked. She's in pretty fucked up shape right now." Shelton took a deep breath. He could hear her crying beyond the doors. "I'm proud of her for continuing."
"So am I," Shelton confessed. "But fuck...all that blood." Glen nodded with a chuckle.
"I don't think she's even seen that much blood in her life," Glen said. The door opened and Dr. Rios stepped out.
"How is she?"
"Nose is broken. She'll be okay, but when she sleeps tonight, keep her elevated. We've got her sedated enough to keep her docile till morning, and I've written up a perscription for her. Pick it up tomorrow morning, no later, because when the side effects wear off she's going to be more miserable than she ever has been. Make sure she's resting. It's going to take a couple weeks for it to heal. I'll talk to Vince and see if it means that she's off TV until she heals up." Glen nodded. Shelton did the same. "I'll get on that," he replied. "In the meantime, Shelton, get her back to the hotel and relaxed. She's going to be pretty miserable and pretty sick for the next couple days." He nodded and Dr. Rios excused himself, going back into the room.
