Chapter 51

Alice walks in the hotel room her and Taylor are sharing, looking pissed. "What's wrong?" Taylor asks, lying on her stomach on the bed.

"I'm going to be managing Waste Barrett." She rolls her eyes.

"Ha, Waste Barrett. Good one." Taylor laughs.

"This isn't funny." Alice crosses her arms.

"Okay sorry." Taylor, says still giggling. "I guess we won't be teaming up anymore?" She frowns.

"I guess not. Wade acts like a cocky bastard." She rolls her eyes again. "He acts all tough cause he's a bare knuckle fighter. News flash, no one cares!" Taylor tries to hold her laughter back. "As long as I don't team up with him in a match. Yuck."

"Don't judge a book by its cover. He might be nice once you get to know him." Taylor shrugs.

"Yeah right."

"Hey look," Taylor scrambles up from the bed, "our photos are up on the website!" She smiles.

Alice takes the phone and looks through them with Taylor. "These are so badass." Alice smirks.

Taylor takes her phone back and saves the pictures to her phone. "Hey, how come you never share a room with Randy?"

"Nosy much?" Taylor frowns. "Just kidding! Sometimes I like to spent time with you ladies too."

"Oh."

"Speaking of sharing rooms," She turns to Taylor with a smirk, "let's keep an eye out for a man." She sits on the bed and wiggles her eyebrows. Taylor just looks at her. "Okay so I totally think you'd look good with Roman and Seth. But definitely Roman! Or maybe Ryback."

"Ryback!?" Taylor looks at her with a disgusted look.

Alice laughs. "You're telling me you wouldn't feed him more!"

Taylor puts her fingers in her ears. "Laaaaaa! Can't hear you!" She yells and makes a slighty disgusted face.

Alice falls over laughing. "Oh god! Okay maybe Phil."

"I don't go after AJ's sloppy seconds." She rolls her eyes.

"Give me something then girl!"

"How about no one!" Taylor says.

Alice frowns. "Ooh I got it!" She slaps Taylor on the leg. "Mark Henry." She falls over laughing into the bed. "Or..would..you..rather..have...the...Big..Show?" She laughs some more.

Taylor glares at her. "I'm going to get some fresh air." Taylor steps out of the room and goes out to the front of the hotel and sits on the bench. She sits awhile and watches cars and people pass by. John comes out shirtless, carrying luggage into an SUV. Taylor looks at him. She wasn't staring, just looking. John is really big. One of the more muscular superstars on the roster. Taylor would always go crazy when he took his shirt off and threw it into the crowd. She'd always hope she'd catch one of them one day.

"Enjoying the show?" John asks with a grin.

"What?" She says, snapping from her thoughts.

"You were staring at me." He smiles.

"No," Taylor stands up, "I-I was looking at the truck. It's really big."

"It sure is. But that isn't the only thing."

Taylor only furries her eyebrows as a response. "Excuse you." Nikki pushes her aside.

"We were having a conversation Nicole." John sighs.

"I couldn't care less. I don't want her anywhere around you. We all know about her childhood crush on you and she's already taken Randy from Alice once."

Taylor opens her mouth to speak but Nikki interrupts her. "Eh, I didn't ask you. Now be gone." She waves Taylor off.

Taylor clenches her fist but walks away. "What a bitch." She mumbles under her breath. She sees Kaitlyn walking around lost in her phone.

"Kait!" Taylor jogs up to her with a smile.

"Hey." She turns her attention back to the phone.

Taylor looks at the phone. "Whatcha doin?"

"I'm reading all my texts from my admirer." She looks up.

"Don't you find it funnny you have a admirer on-screen and off?"

Kaitlyn shrugs. "It could be AJ setting me up again." She frowns.

"Can't you like, trace the number?"

"Tried," she shakes her head. "it just doesn't work."

"Does Sheamus know about this crazy admirer? Have him Brogue Kick him out of this world." Taylor laughs and Kaitlyn giggles.

"I haven't told him but I was thinking about it." She says focusing back at the phone. "Oh and nice move you did last night. We might have something that can beat the Black Widow for good." Kaitlyn smiles.

"Thanks." Taylor smiles and goes back to her room.


"You guys sure I'm not being a bother?" Taylor asks from the back of Miz's rental. They're traveling to tonight's show. "I am totally being a third wheel."

"No you aren't!" Layla says.

"We enjoy your company." Miz smiles.

"Ya sure?"

"Positive." Layla looks back at her and smiles.

"That submission move was awesome. Are you gonna use it now?" Miz asks.

"I was thinking about it. I need a name though." Taylor thinks.

"The Tay Ry lock." Layla offers.

"That's too plain. Give me another one."

"Um how about the tap out!" Miz chuckles.

"Eh. Ooh I got one! The Tay Ry choker." Taylor smiles.

No one says anything. "It's a work in progress." Taylor shrugs and everyone laughs.

Things are quiet for a bit after that. "Hey, when you found out that you were the girl who saved Randy, how'd you feel?" Miz asks.

"Well I was shocked I didn't figure it out sooner." She frowns. "How could I forget something like that." She most likely tried to forget it. That was the night her and Emma stopped being best friends. She frowns again. Thinking about Emma's tweet and how she never responded. She just got so wrapped up in Randy, as weird as that sounds. "Wait, you guys knew?"

"Yeah he told me. Layla was just eavesdropping." Miz chuckles.

She hits him playfully. "I was not! Randy just talks too loud."

Taylor laughs. "Now, I have a question for you guys. When you saw that Randy and Alice were dating again, what did you think?"

Miz frowns. "I couldn't believe it he did such a stupid thing. I wanted to punch some sense into him."

Layla giggles. "That's mean."

"I agree with him." Taylor says. "No matter how many times Dolph apologized to me, I would never take him back. So why would he take her back?" She frowns.

"They did miss and love each other." Layla adds.

"I miss Dolph at times but that's not going to change anything. He's said and did a lot of hurtful things and meant them." Taylor's throat begins to hurt as she fights back tears. "I wonder if he knows I'm out here crying and feels bad. Probably not, he probably celebrates somewhere with crazy and big bitch." Taylor covers her face with her hands and cries.

"Don't say t-" Layla turns around and sees her crying, "pull over." She whispers to Miz who follows her order. She gets out and gets in the back with Taylor, pulling her close. "Don't cry," she pats her head, "he's the definition of a bastard and your tears aren't worth it."

"Ugh," Taylor sits up and wipes her tears, "I know." She frowns.

"Things will be fine." Miz pulls back onto the road. "That jerk isn't worth anything."


"That's my new submission move." Taylor smiles, as she's being interviewed by Renee Young for Backstage Fallout. She just beat Aksana, making her tap out. "It's called the Screamer because as you can see," she winks, "both of my opponents screamed when I put them in it." She walks away feeling satisfied. Natalya and AJ aren't the only divas with painful submission moves.

She's walking back to the locker room when she overhears two staff members conversation. "Yeah," one says to the other "I don't know who the guy was. All I know is, he wasn't a superstar so I needed to get him out of here, and fast!"

"That's crazy as hell man!" The other says. "Fans are always sneaking in here. But I didn't think they wanted to attack anyone. Part of me wishes he would have made it to Dolph."

Taylor snorts. "Hah! Some crazy tried to take out Dolph. That's what he gets!" She sits on the bench once she makes it to the locker room and pulls her arm sleeves off.

Taylor is just getting ready to take her kick pads and boots off when Natalya walks in. "Um Taylor?"

"Yeah Nattie." She looks up and smiles.

"Someone important is here to see you." She says with a serious tone.

Taylor, sensing something is wrong, gets up and walks out into the hall. There standing in the hall, being contained by two security guards, is her eldest brother Mike.

Taylor sighs. "Do you know this man?" One guard asks.

She sighs again. "This is my brother." They let him go and they and Natalya walk away.

"What are you doing here!?" Taylor asks with crazy eyes.

"When I heard that blonde douche bag cheated on you, I found out where the show was being held tonight and made a one way ticket here to whoop his ass." Mike says.

Taylor face palms. "Mike, you can't just come to my job and beat up my ex boyfriends."

"Well I beat up that one guy! The one who only wanted to get in bed with you!" He raises his voice.

"You are embarrassing me!" She spits back at him.

"I don't care right now. He fucking slept with another woman! He deserves to die!" And I know about your trip to the hospital. This job is literally going to kill you. It isn't safe."

By now, many people are staring. Walking by, whispering and most importantly Mike is embarrassing her. "Listen, I've wanted to be a diva for so long and you know that! One hospital trip isn't going to scare me away. I know I'm your baby sister and you want to protect me and see me happy. But every time something bad happens in my life, you can't just swoop in and play big brother. I am twenty-six years old and I can handle this on my own." Taylor says calmly.

Randy walks up with a worried look on his face. "You alright? I heard someone say something about a Ryan trying to attack Dolph." He frowns. "You could've gotten hurt."

Taylor crosses her arms. "I'm fine. It's him who wants to end up being arrested." She motions to her brother.

"Is this that tattoo freak Jazmine told me about? I know all too well about your past man. Stay away from my sister." He warns.

"I think it's time for you to leave now Mike." Taylor glares at him.

"I'll leave when he does."

Taylor sighs when Randy doesn't move and neither does Mike. "I will call security on you." She warns through clenched teeth.

Mike looks at her, bewildered. "You would really call them on me? Your big brother? Family?!" He raises his voice again. She nods slowly. "Fine! I've seen you've made some, interesting friends here. Don't caught up in the moment sis." He looks at her before leaving the arena.

Taylor sighs and turns to Randy. "I am so sorry Randy. I didn't know he was even here." She looks like she wants to cry.

"I believe you. I was getting ready to take him out for you. You alright?" He steps closer to her.

"I'll be fine." She backs away and heads back inside the locker room. She pulls her phone out to call her mom but she doesn't pick up. Taylor sighs and throws the phone on the floor.

NOT COOL MICHAEL ANDRE RYAN!D; (I just made up a middle name lol)
