Ted
Standing in the hall looking at my phone, I wait to see if anyone has seen Tori. Just as I'm about to walk away, someone turns the corner and bumps into me. Looking up, I can't believe who I saw.
"Tor?" I look at her shocked.
"Ted?" She says in shock as tears fill her eyes.
"It's me." I smile as she starts to come to me.
"What the hell?!" I hear behind us, seeing Justin turn the corner and pull Tori away.
"No! Ted!" She cried, reaching her arms out for me as I tried to get past Justin to her.
"Get her out of here." Justin seethes, instructing Wade to take her away.
"Nooo!" Ted!" I hear her scream as she is pulled from my sight.
"Tori!" I call, pushing past Gabriel to get to her.
"Not so fast." He blocks my way. "You left her and now she's with me."
"I would never do that! It was all you! You made up those lies and made her believe them!" I yelled at him as cameras started to come over.
"That's what you think." He smirked, poking my chest with his finger.
I take his hand and twist his arm behind his back, pushing him against the wall. Just then I hear a commotion behind be and feel something hit the back of my head. I fall to the floor as I start to get kicked and punched repeatedly by, what looked like, three men. I felt myself being picked up and thrown across the hall, falling into some boxes before hitting the floor.
"Stay away from her." Justin yelled through gritted teeth.
He then started to walk off with the other 'boys' in his group as they all laughed. I slowly began to sit up as a few more superstars came to check on me. Holding the back of my head, I slowly stood and leaned against the wall.
"Ted!" I heard. "Ted. You need to go to the trainer." I could see Bella walking up to me.
"I have to get her." I tried waking, but lost my balance.
"Get checked out, then we can go get her."
"Bel-"
"For Tori!" She insisted.
"For Tori." I reluctantly agreed as she began to help me to the trainers room.
Tori
Getting back to the locker room, I was just in time to see the cameras on Ted and Justin. I could not believe what I was seeing.
"Ted! No!" I cried, trying to leave the room, only to be stopped by Wade. "Out of my way!" I started punching his chest with my fist.
"Stop." He tried to stay composed.
"No!" I kept hitting him until he took both my hands and held them.
"Let me go!" I tried pulling my hands away.
"Just watch." Wade turns me around so I'm facing the TV again.
"Nooo!" I scream as tears fall down my face. I can not believe what is happening and there is nothing I can do to stop it. I am forced to sit there and watch as Justin beats on Ted, throwing him across the hall. I gasp at how hard the hit was and panic, seeing the expression on Ted's face. Once they get done with Ted, they walk off laughing at what they just did. After seeing them off camera, I calm down so Wade will let me go. Once I was calm enough, he loosened his hold on me. As soon as the door opened, I charged Justin.
"You son of a bitch!" I yell at him, punching and smacking him.
To my surprise he lets me hit him, not flinching. I keep doing it until my arms start to get weak.
"How could you?!" I sob, falling to my knees as I cry harder.
Justin leans down so he's level with me. "He needed to be taught a lesson."
"For what?!"
"Thinking he can have what is mine." I look up to see Justin smirking.
"I'm not yours! I'm his!" I spit, raising my hands and pushing him away from me.
Justin falls back against the door as I get up and start to walk to the other side of the locker room.
"Get back here!"
"No!"
"Listen here." He reaches me and grabs my arm. "You're mine and that is final." He looks me dead in the eyes.
"I am not!" I pull my arm away from him.
"Do I need to prove it again?" He growls, walking toward me as I walk back, my back hitting the wall. He places his hand on either side of me on the wall.
"...no." I bite my lip and shake my head.
"Say it." He demands, hovering my neck.
"...I'm yours..." I say as low as I can, only to have him nip at my neck.
"Louder."
"I'm yours!" I cry in fear.
"That's what I thought." He grins, moving and brushing his lips over mine. I go to turn my head but he moves his hand to my face, holding it in place. He presses his lips to mine, squeezing my face so I kiss him back. He keeps it going for as long as he can until he is interrupted.
"Ahem." Heath clears his throat.
"What?!" Justin hisses, turning to look at him.
"We have to go. Match time."
"We will finish this later." Justin slowly turns his head to me, looking at me with evil eyes. I close my eyes tight and nod my head in fear.
"Watch her." He orders Husky as he and the others head out of the room.
I slowly start to stand, Husky snapping his head toward me. I point to my bag and slowly walk over to it. Since I had a match, I had to stay in this attire for now. Opening my bag, I pulled out Ted's hoodie that I snuck. Justin forgot all about it and thought it was his, so I was safe. Pulling it over my head, I take in Ted's scent and begin to relax for the first time tonight. I walk over to the couch and sit down, wrapping myself in the soft fabric as I sit there and wait for my match.
Ted
It's been almost a year since I was home and able to talk to or see Tori. I was excited to catch up on all she has doing with training. Since I left, she became more distant and doesn't return my calls or texts. Well, today I was going to find out why. I didn't tell her I was coming home or that I was stopping over.
Getting out of the airport, I made my way to my rental car. It was only a short drive from the airport to her and Justin's home in Tampa. As I started to get closer, I got more excited. I could not wait to see my best friend after so long. Pulling into the driveway, I saw her car. Smiling, I pulled up behind it and put my car in park. Getting out of the car I made my way to the door. Knocking on it, I waited for her to answer. When the door opened, I was in shock of what I saw.
"Tor?" I said, concern and worry in my voice.
"Ted?" He looked up at me through bloodshot eyes. "You should go." Her voice was shaky as she tried to close the door on me.
"No." I stopped the door with my foot. "What is going on?"
"Nothing." She sniffed. "Justin and I just had disagreement, that's all." She tried to lie, but I knew when she lied to me.
"How about I come in and we can talk about it?"
"I-I don't know..." She bite her lip, looking out the door. "...he'll be home soon." I could see the panic in her eyes.
"I'm here now." I tried to assure her. "It will all be okay."
"I suppose." She hung her head and moved, allowing me to come in.
Walking in, things still looked the same as before I had left. There were pictures of them all over, looking like the happy couple I had left. Walking through the house to the kitchen, I saw it was a mess.
"Sorry." Tori said, rushing into the kitchen to clean up.
"It's alright." I laughed lightly.
"No it's not!" She got tense. "The house is a mess and I need to clean it."
"It's just a few dishes and boxes. It's not that messy." I walked over to her trying to put her at ease.
Putting my arm on her shoulder, I saw her finch.
"What's wrong?" I asked, getting a bit angry.
"Tweaked my shoulder during a match." She shook me off.
"And the limp?" I took notice of her having trouble walking.
"A match."
"Tor?" I walked over to her, gently turning her to face me. "Don't lie to me." I looked her in the eyes.
"I'm not." I could see tears well up in her eyes.
"Did he touch you?" I start to feel the anger take over.
"...no." She lowly said, looking down.
"Tor?" I lift her chin to look at me only to see pain and fear in her eyes. "You're coming with me." I take her into a hug.
"I can't!" She cried into my chest.
"You can and will." I firmly state.
"He's going to be back any minute." Her voice filled with fear.
"Then we go now."
"My stuff."
"Leave it. We'll get you all new things once we are far away from here."
"Ted..." She bit her lip. "...I can't." I could hear the fear in her voice.
"You are." I gave her no choice. "I'm getting you out of here and I'm going to keep you safe." I began to lead her to the door.
"Ted...I'm scared." She sniffed.
"You're with me now. Don't be scared." I kissed the top of her head as we left the house. We headed to my car and I helped her in. I got in and started to drive her away from there. No way in hell was I going to leave her with him, knowing his true intentions for her.
"Ted!" I heard, bringing me from my thoughts.
"Yeah..." I shook my head, focusing back on the here and now.
"Tonight is the night we bring her back." I heard Bella say so confident.
"How?" I looked at her, my interest peeked.
"During our match, we are going to cut the lights and get her from the ring."
"Who is we?" I looked confused.
"All of us. Mike, Alex, Randy, Zack, and you." She started. "Toward the end of the match, I'm going to make it look like she is going to win, then the lights are going to cut out, everyone is going to run out and surround the ring. You go in, take her and bring her to the back. Everyone else will deal with them."
"Sounds like a good plan but, will it work?" I rubbed the back of my neck.
"It has to work. It's the only thing we can do to catch them off guard." She insisted.
"If you say so." I hop down off the trainers table.
As we walk out of the trainers room, we continue to talk about the plan on how to get Tori back once and for all.
Tori
After watching as Wade gets another win thanks to The Corre getting involved, I roll my eyes.
"Ass." I mumbled to myself.
The TV then turns to show Bella stretching in the hallway getting ready for our match. Sighing, I knew it was time to go and 'beat' down on Bella. Just as I was about to get up, I heard the door open.
"That was epic!" I heard Heath boats as I rolled my eyes.
"Nothing can stop us." Wade said so confident.
"Hey babe." Justin walked over, leaning down and kissing me cheek. I move my arm, sliding away from him.
"I have my match." I mumble, standing up.
"You better win." He looks me dead in the eyes with so much seriousness in his tone.
"I always do." I turn to walk out.
"Wait..." He grabs my arm. "...where did you get this?" He looks at my hoodie.
"It's yours." I lie.
"I don't remember it..." He squint his eyes.
"It was from when we first met. You let me use it." I try to think of something.
"Alright." He says, unconvinced. "Let's go." He leads me out the door.
Wanting to be pain free for my match, I walk out the door with him. He moves his hand from my arm to the small of my back as we walk. Seeing a camera come over, I take a breath and put on my best cocky face as I walk with more attitude and fierceness. Justin whispers in my ear, making it look like he's pumping me up when he is really putting me down. Once the camera leaves, I walk away from him as we reach the curtain.
"Look who it is..." I scoff and roll my eyes. "...little Miss Bella and her boy toy." I taunt.
"You little..." She spits, lunging for me only to have Alex stop her.
"Save it for the ring." He says to her.
"Yeah. Save it. You're going to need it." I laugh evilly as my theme hits. I walk out onto the ramp, hoping Justin bought everything. I walk out, showing off to the booing crowd, not really caring. Waking to the ring with as much attitude and saneness I can, I hop up on the ring. I get in and do all my poses before Bella's theme hits. She walks out to cheers as I pretend to yawn. I lean against the ropes as she walks over and hops up, doing all her poses. Once done, she hops down and goes to the other side of the ring.
"You better win." Justin hisses in my ear.
"Fuck you." I say through my gritted teeth.
"You ready?! Huh?!" I hear Bella taunt.
"Bring it!" I raise my hands in the air.
The ref checks to make sure we are both ready before ringing the bell. We lock up and I go for an arm drag but Bella doesn't budge. Bella picks me up by the head and puts me in the corner. The referee backs her up. Bella charges into a boot and my forearms away. Bella quickly back elbows me down.
"Get up!" Justin yells, hitting the mat.
Bella whips me hard into the corner and hits a running butt bump to the face. Bella grabs me by the hair and slams me down for a near fall. Bella applies a modified chin lock and powers me down. Bella stomps me but misses a big splash. I fight up and forearm her. I kick her down and hit a running knee to the face but only gets a two count. I clothesline her in the corner. Bella reverses a whip to the corner and goes for a splash but I move. Just as I'm about to go for the pin, the lights go out. I get off Bella and look around confused. Before I knew it, I was pulled from the ring and being taken to the back.
