Chapter 35
Becky stood in the square ring with her hands taped up, across from the short girl named Marina. She could hear people around the ring taking bets, all of them being on Marina. Some of them had heard of her, seen her before, but most of these guys had no clue what she could do. The red head smiled at the girl as she brought her hands to her hips and watched as Marina jogged in place a little pumping herself up. A man in a dirty white and black shirt came into the ring and began to announce the match. He asked Becky for her name which she shrugged and said, "The Lass Kicker" causing the man to raise his eyebrow and laugh before shaking his head. He announced her as the challenger before moving on to yell out Marina's name and introducing her as one of the four horsewomen. People cheered for the girl and she smirked at Becky to which the redhead just rolled her eyes. She was not intimidated by this girl, she had faced women much taller than her and much bigger and she had a lot of anger that she could take out on this girl.
"Bets on Marina, no way this girl beats her"
"She's just some rookie"
"And Lass Kicker...what a stupid name"
Becky closed her eyes and took a deep breath letting her anger flow through her as her fist balled up and she began to think about everything that made her angry, focusing mostly on wanting to fight at X-Nation and not getting on the leaderboard. She mentally cursed as she thought about this, she wanted that spot bad, and if she couldn't get it there she would just have to beat all of these girls' faces in to get to the top here. Once a cheap bell rang Marina pushed forward coming at Becky quickly with her hands raised, she gave a quick 1, 2 punch just barely missing Becky as the Irish native dodged out the way punched the girl in her stomach in return. There were a few 'ooos' from the crowd as Becky slightly danced around Marina, staying just out of reach until the girl grew tired and sloppy. Marina was growing frustrated as Becky moved around all of her punches before she yelled, "Stop running you coward!"
She eventually landed a hard punch to the side of Becky's face before the two began to exchange blows. Becky was moving slower and more patiently than her opponent as Marina kept viciously attacking, landing three hard hits on Becky's Jaw. Becky winced slightly but grabbed the outside of her arm and slung the girl to the mat. She held her in a headlock for a bit punching slightly at the side of her head until Marina made it back to her feet, pushing Becky away.
"Come on Bex" Dean and Paige yelled out
"Get your head out your ass Marina" Shayna yelled
Eventually Marina managed to cut Becky's eye open with a hard elbow, allowing blood to flow down the left side of her face causing Shayna and Jessamyn to laugh outside the ring while Dean shouted for Becky, asking if she was okay. Becky ignored the people and the blood and pushed through, the match lasting much longer than Shayna liked, until Becky landed a hard punch sending Marina back to the ground. Becky quickly capitalized and lunged on top of the girl as she began punching her repeatedly in the face. Marina threw her legs up, violently kicking at Becky, managing to hit her jaw once or twice sending pain through the redhead's body, but Becky didn't stop. She grabbed her opponent's legs and held them in her left arm while she punched away with her right, landing blow after blow on the girl face, busting open her head and nose until she was knocked out. Then a bell rang and Becky pulled away from the girl, blood still running down her face as she walked away from the ring, not allowing the announcer to raise her hand or even say anything to her. Instead she walked over to where Shayna and Jessamyn were standing with their arms crossed.
"I tink yer friend needs some help...why don't ya go an' drag 'er arse outta the ring" Becky said with a smirk, her Irish accent coming out thick and slightly jumbled as pain rocketed through her jaw. Shayna stepped up into Becky's face but the redhead merely smirked in return not fearing the girl at all. The two girls looked at each other before walking away, heading to get their friend out the ring causing Dean and the others to run up to her.
Dean wrapped his arms tightly around Becky and kissed her head, "Don't ever do that again"
"No promises"
Paige, Mandy and Sonya can over and patted her on her shoulder. Sonya smiled and handed her a towel, "Here ya go..you're kind of bleeding everywhere"
"That was amazing" Paige said with a smile, hugging Becky quickly, "i'm so proud of you"
"See I told you...piece of cake"
"I have to say I'm impressed, most people who get in the ring with one of them end up a lot worse off than a bruised jaw and busted eyebrow" Mandy said slightly causing Dean to raise his hand lightly to the girl's jaw which was bruising
"I thought your jaw was gonna be broken, Marina has some hard kicks, you're jaw is probably gonna bruise for a while" Sonya said
"Could be worse" Becky said, "I could be her"
Everyone turned to look at Marina who was being helped out the ring. Dean kissed Becky once again, "Yeah... wouldn't want that"
After a few minutes of talking a man can over to them. He had slicked back hair that was jet black and he wore a black shirt that said NWO on it in white letters, "hello...I'm Scott Hall...I'm one of the owners here at the New World Order. I couldn't help but notice you out there in that fight."
"Uh thanks"
"What's your name? Your real name"
"Rebecca Hel...Rebecca Lynch" Becky said not wanting to say Helmsley. She had told X-Pac her last name and he knew her parents, she didn't want any connection or anyone finding out she was over here, "But you can call me Becky"
"Well Becky it looks like you bruised your jaw and you'll probably need stitches on that eye..but still you fought that match like a pro even though you were called out" Scott said with a smile, "So tell me...you fight before?"
"Becky was undefeated at X-Nation gym before she got banned" Sonya said causing Mandy and Paige to elbow their friend trying to silence her
"X-Nation huh? You learn how to fight like that in that pansy gym?"
"No...I just got a lot of anger" Becky said with a shrug
Scott thought for a second and then gave a loud laugh, "I can work with anger"
"Uh..you can?"
Scott reached into the pocket of his jeans and pulled out an envelope filled with cash, "How about you stick around… I see big things in your future"
Becky slowly took the envelope with her right hand while her left hand held the towel to her cut, "uh thanks"
"Give us a call, and we'll work out a schedule. We can teach you how to professionally fight, try and keep you from getting banged up as much" Scott then handed her a card that had NWO on it and a few numbers.
"Oh I don't have a phone" Becky said causing Scott to laugh
"Well now you can go buy yourself one" He said pointing to the envelope before walking off.
Becky turned and faced the group before smiling at Sonya, "Looks like you guys got yourself a new fighter"
Sonya smiled and Paige gave a small cheer while Dean wrapped his arm around his girlfriend, "Come on lets get you cleaned up"
Charlotte woke up the next day and groaned as Dana opened the curtains letting light shine down on Charlotte while the shorter blonde stretched and happily smiled, "Good Morning Charlotte"
"Ugh" the taller blonde responded before turning over, "Go away"
"But it's Sunday... we get to relax and just hang out" Dana said smiling as she sat at the edge of Charlotte's bed causing the tall blonde to kick her trying to move her
"You get to relax...I have to go to counseling"
"Why?" Charlotte wrapped herself under her blanket, ignoring Dana, "Oh...is it because of your...suicide comment?"
"No Dana, they actually loved it. Ivory finds my sarcastic sense of humor hilarious" Charlotte muttered, sitting up to glare at the girl before the two sat in silence, allowing Charlotte to lay back down before Dana began talking again,
"You're not actually going to do it are you?"
"Do what?"
"Kill yourself?" Dana whispered making Charlotte sigh
"No Dana" the girl groaned, "and If I was going to I wouldn't tell you"
"You wouldn't?"
"No" Charlotte shot up from her bed and looked at Dana, "We are not friends...You are not my confidant and I am not yours...besides people usually don't tell someone when their going to kill themselves they just do..or write it down"
"Oh" Dana said sadly as Charlotte laid back down, groaning once more as there was a knock on the door.
"I got it" Dana said quickly before crossing the room to open the door revealing Roman perched on the side of the door. He was wearing a black t-shirt and shorts with his hair up in a bun. Charlotte lifted her head slightly to look at him while he smirked back at her, "Hello?"
"Hey...I'm Roman...I remember you from group session...you're Daria right?"
"Dana" the girl corrected, "Can I help you?"
"I've be told to retrieve the tall blonde for her counseling session" he said causing Charlotte to groan while Dana looked back at her with a raised eyebrow
The oldest Helmsley slowly pushed herself up still tired from last night and walked over to her dresser. She was in a white tank top and a pair of grey volleyball shorts, so she just pulled the top of, revealing her toned stomach causing Dana to look away while Roman watched with a smirk. Charlotte noticed and smiled at Roman as she pulled down a new grey long sleeved shirt before walking over to him.
"Bye Dana" Charlotte said sarcastically to the girl who still had her eyes closed and shut the door before turning to Roman "hey"
"hey princess" Roman smirked before turning and leading Charlotte downstairs
"they sent you to come get me?" Charlotte asked unsure as she followed Roman around the rehabilitation center, confused.
"Oh...no" Roman stopped them in some stairwell and grabbed Charlotte's face and kissed her, "I just wanted some time alone with you"
Charlotte smiled into the kiss and grabbed Roman's hands and the two back into a small closet under the stairwell. The two continued to make out as Roman wrapped one arm around the tall girl's waist while the other hand reached down the front of Charlotte's pants. Charlotte smiled and pulled Roman closer to her, moaning against his lips. The two slowly pulled away from each other after a while and Charlotte said, "i do actually have to go to counseling in twenty minutes"
"I can get you off in ten" Roman suggested with a smirk, "Maybe you could even skip and just hang with me on the roof"
"As much as I would love to see you try...but I actually have to go to this or they'll call home and put me under more super vision." Charlotte said sadly with a pout
Roman smiled and kissed Charlotte, "Who's your therapist?"
"Dusty Rhodes..ya know that old guy with white hair and glasses"
"He's good people...you shouldn't be so hard on him...he's cool" Roman said seriously before kissing Charlotte. The blonde nodded and smiled before lowering her hands to his belt as she began unbuckling it, "What are you doing?"
"You might not be able to get me off in ten minutes but I bet I can get you off" As soon as Charlotte said this the closet door opened revealing Ivory and the two bigger men along with Dana all standing there with frowns. Well Dana gave a small shriek and covered her eyes while the two men were the ones who greeted Charlotte when she first arrived to the rehab center. Each in white button up shirts and black pants and muscles the size of Charlotte's head. While Ivory, who was dressed similar to the men, gave a look of disgust, seeing Charlotte on her knees in front of Roman.
"Get up..."
"It's not what it looks like" Roman said slowly as he helped Charlotte to her feet before the two were dragged out of the closet
"Honestly" Charlotte agreed but Ivory just frowned
"Thank you Dana for informing us about what was going on, you may go back to your room now" Dana nodded at this and looked at Charlotte warily before turning and rushing off while Charlotte rolled her eyes and muttered,
"Snitch"
"Ms. Helmsley...Mr. Reigns, we have a strict no relationship policy between our patients"
"Really I didn't know" Roman said trying to sound innocent, "Besides, there is no relationship, she was just helping me clean off some...water that I spilled on my pants"
Ivory rolled her eyes and looked to Charlotte, "I believe your mother would like to hear about this"
"I doubt that"
"Well we'll just have to see about that"
Becky didn't return to her house until early in the morning, sneaking back through the window at the crack of dawn a new phone in her pocket and $4,000 dollars right along side it. She quietly slide into her room to see Sasha asleep on her bed while she moved around the room changing into some new clothes. She slowly left and went to the bathroom to get a look at herself in the mirror, she had a band aid over her left eyebrow, covering up her stitches and a small bruise was forming over her injured jaw. The doctor on sight at NWO said it was minor and it should heal on its own, however it still hurt like hell. Becky decided against going downstairs to get ice as she feared running into her parents as Stephanie or Hunter was always up early. Becky instead touched her jaw lightly, wincing in reaction before turning and leaving to go get some sleep. However once she woke up it was only two and a half hours later.
"Becky?"
The redhead rolled over to look at the clock reading that it was in the morning, "Bayley go back to sleep, the sun's not even up yet"
This did nothing as the youngest Helmsley continued to try and wake her older sister, quietly calling her name and shaking her shoulder. Becky grabbed the pillow and cover her head roughly, instantly regretting it as she brushed too hard against her jaw, "Becky wake up..I need you"
"Go away"
"Please"
"Oh my god Becky if you don't go help her so she can shut up, I will personally kill you both" Sasha grumbled from her bed, her back still turned to her sisters while Becky sighed and pushed herself up from the bed and looked at her younger sister slightly annoyed
"What happened to your face?" Bayley asked looking at her sister, causing Sasha to turn slightly and look over at them, squinting at Becky's face to see what she was talking about
"Did you go out and fight again? I thought you were banned." Sasha said, now sitting up in bed, holding her stomach
"I am. I just fell" Becky said with a shrug
"You weren't in the room last night when I came in" Sasha pointed out, "You weren't here at all last night...when did you come home?"
"None of your business okay." Becky snapped before looking to Bayley who frowned, "What did you want?"
Bayley didn't respond instead she handed Becky a small torn letter, it was ripped in half and taped back together causing the girl looked at curiously, "Read it"
Becky looked up at her sister confused before opening the letter to read it herself, "Is this the letter from your birth mom?"
"Yes"
"Well...what are you doing with it?"
"I just...i forgot about it, I was so caught up in everything else that after my talk with mom I just kind of..forgot. But last night I had a dream about...about my birth mother and I remembered the letter" Bayley said to which Sasha slowly got up and moved to sit on Becky's bed beside the redhead, looking over the letter herself, "i think I'm going to call her"
"Wait what?" Sasha asked looking up at Bayley
"Why?"
Bayley shrugged, "my life is pretty good right now...I have an amazing girlfriend, a family that loves and accepts me, I'm going to start working on my relationship with Carmella again, I mean I told her everything about how I felt before and I don't feel that way anymore so we can just go back to being friends and I think we're going to be good. So this...this is the last thing that's just egging at me. I just want to talk."
"Bayley, I get that you want to reconnect, but this woman was not nice to you" Becky said slowly, "She nearly killed you...and you just want to sit down and..what?"
"I don't know talk...hug it out" Bayley said causing Becky and Sasha to look at each other for a second before looking back to Bayley, "I mean what's the worse that can-"
"Don't say that...every time someone says that something goes wrong. Don't you people watch Tv, you never say that" Becky said remembering when Charlotte had said the same phrase a while back before their whole night went to shit.
"Okay...when are you going to tell mom?" Sasha said slowly, looking from Becky to Bayley"
"Uh...I don't know...today...you don't think she'll be too mad do you?"
"Mad...no..a little hurt and insecure. Probably" Becky said, handing Bayley the letter back before laying down so she was staring up at her ceiling, "It'll be fine, now go to sleep"
Bayley looked to Sasha who nodded and agreed, moving back to her own bed to continue sleeping while Bayley nodded to herself before exiting the room.
Later that day once everyone was up Bayley headed downstairs, dressed in a light blue tank top and leggings, to find Stephanie sitting at the dining room table, drinking coffee and typing on her Laptop. She had her hair down and she wore a simply black tank top and jeans. Stephanie smiled up at her youngest as she saw her enter, "Hello Bayley"
"Hey mom..can i talk to you?"
Stephanie raised an eyebrow and set her coffee down before answering, "of course what do you need?"
"So I had this dream right?"
"Okay"
"And it was about my birth mother.."
"..okay"
"So I found that letter and I thought about this...for a while. I think I want to talk to her, you know just to clear the air" Bayley said causing Stephanie to sit up straighter obviously uncomfortable with where this conversation was heading
"You want to meet her...okay. Okay you want to call her?" Stephanie suggested, "Set up a meeting?"
"Yes please" Bayley said causing Stephanie to nod slowly, her body still tense, "Are you okay with this?"
"Of course" Stephanie said, pulling Bayley in to hug her, "You have a rare experience to meet and talk with your birth mother. You sisters don't get that option and I would be a terrible mother if I kept you from that"
"You could never be a terrible mother." Bayley said before hugging her mom back
"Thank you Bayley" Stephanie said sweetly, "Would you like me to make you breakfast?"
"Yes" Sasha said as she entered the kitchen and answered for her sister, sitting down at the island beside her mother, "I'm starving"
Stephanie smirked and looked at her daughters before questioning, "What do you want to eat?"
"Waffles...and peanut butter...and pickles" Sasha said rubbing her head as she continued to list off foods she wanted
"Waffles sounds good" Bayley agreed causing Stephanie to smiled before she got to work cooking, "Can I help?"
"Of course can you get the eggs out for me please?" Soon Bayley and Stephanie were working together on breakfast while Sasha sat at the island watching
"Hey mom can I go over to Alexa's today?" Bayley asked causing Stephanie to raise an eyebrow at her
"You're supposed to be spending time with her to study" Stephanie said causing Bayley to blush before she shrugged
"I know...we can still study but I do want to see her"
"You just saw her" Sasha said from her seat, but Bayley just shrugged
"So"
"We'll see" Stephanie said, brushing Bayley's hair back with her hand before looking back over at Sasha, "We still have to go talk to Seth and his mother"
There was a silence before Bayley muttered, "yikes"
"Do we have to do that?" Sasha asked with a frown
"Yes" Stephanie said seriously before Hunter and Becky came into the kitchen dressed in workout clothes. Hunter wearing a pair of black and red shorts and a matching T-shirt while Becky, who had makeup over her bruised jaw, was wearing a white tank top and grey leggings with her hair up in a ponytail, "Where are you two off to?"
"We're going go run" Hunter said simply while Sasha examined her little sister, looking at the makeup on her face with a raised eyebrow
"We're going to race...are the neighborhood...the first one back here has to clean up after breakfast" Becky said with a confident smirk
"So dad you're going to be cleaning up after we make waffles" Bayley said laughing along with everyone else while Hunter crossed his arms
"Hey I went easy on her before, I used to play football, I can run"
"Of course you can sweetheart" Stephanie said with a smile, walking up and placing a kiss on her husband's lips before patting him playfully on the chest, "but Becky is much faster"
Becky smiled as Stephanie moved over and kissed her head, "Thanks mom"
"No problem, you two have fun" the two left the kitchen and walked to the front door as Stephanie called out, "Oh and we're going to be doing laundry while you're gone"
"Okay, my stuff is in my closet" Becky said as they left and closed the door behind them while Stephanie walked back over to where Bayley was stirring the pancake mix. Then the phone rang causing Sasha to get up and go get it while Stephanie got out the waffle maker and placed it on the counter so she and Bayley could pour in the mix.
"Mom..uh it's the rehab center...they want to talk to you" Sasha called out causing Stephanie to slowly put down the bowl and hand it to Bayley
"You got this from here?" the younger girl nodded and Stephanie wiped off her hands before taking the house phone from Sasha, "hello?"
"Hello Mrs. Helmsley, this is Ivory. I'm calling about your daughter Charlotte"
"Yes, what has she done?" Stephanie said with a sigh bringing her hand up to her face
"Well here at RTC we have a strict no relationship policy and yet we seemed to have found your daughter in a...compromising position with another patient here"
Stephanie stopped, she was confused, "Wait...what? Compromising position...with who?"
"I am not allowed to give out his name but I thought you would like to know and speak with your daughter, because if something like this happens again we will have to dismiss her from the program." Ivory said causing Stephanie to mentally groan, yelling and slightly cursing at Charlotte in her head before calming herself
"Let me speak with her"
"Hello."
"Charlotte what the hell are you doing?"
"Mom I-"
"You're just randomly hooking up with boys now?"
"It wasn't random" Charlotte responded, scoffing slightly at her mother
"What did you already know this boy?"
"It was probably Roman" Bayley said from the kitchen causing Sasha to whisper for her to shut up while Stephanie looked at the threshold to the kitchen before asking,
"is it this Roman boy...is he the one you've been doing drugs with before?"
"No" charlotte lied
"Yes" Bayley said once again from the kitchen
"Bayley shut up" Sasha snapped while Stephanie continued her conversation
"If that boy is there I don't think you should be there. You know this program has a no relationship rule. I mean come on Charlotte a week and you're already getting in trouble...I don't think this boy is good for you"
"Ha" Charlotte said sarcastically, "you think Roman is bad for me...just wait until you see Seth especially after what he did to Sasha"
Stephanie paused and looked to the threshold of the kitchen once more before turning away and leaning more into the phone, "What do you mean by that?"
"Nothing...look I just got in trouble for something stupid it won't-""
"Charlotte" Stephanie snapped, "Tell me what you meant by what you just said"
Charlotte said nothing for a second before saying, "Can I stay here?"
"Why so you can spend more time with that boy who encourages you to do drugs and break the rules? I don't think so"
"We aren't doing drugs here, there are none...besides, he makes me happy" Stephanie scoffed at this, "Let me stay...I'll follow all the rules...I'll be your perfect little girl"
"I don't want you to be perfect Charlotte I want you to get better. I want you to take responsibility for your actions" Stephanie sighed
"And I will...just let me stay...and I'll tell you what really happened with Sasha and Seth"
Stephanie thought for a second, "Fine...tell me"
"Seth... he uh...he raped Sasha at that party we got busted for a while back. She was taken to the hospital for alcohol poisoning but when the police found her she didn't have her pants on. The doctors wanted to run a rape kit on her but she refused...but then she ended up pregnant and she couldn't remember that night other than Seth handing her a drink and I saw her running out the house with no shirt on. So…" Charlotte paused, "So he raped her, Sasha didn't want to tell you because she talked to Seth and he said he didn't. She believed him but we all..we all knew. I never believed him, neither did Becky. Becky never liked Seth, she didn't trust him and she was right"
Eventually Charlotte stopped talking but Stephanie said nothing as she processed what was going on through her head. Charlotte's words circling in her head as tears now flowed from her eyes and her hand came up to cover her mouth. After a while Charlotte said, "mom?"
"Charlotte...are you...is what you're telling me true?"
"Yes mom I wouldn't lie about that"
"Okay...o-okay...I uh I gotta...I gotta go"
"Wait..mom-"
Stephanie hung up and stood still, wiping the tears from her eyes as she listened to Sasha and Bayley argue over the waffles, "Bayley you're going to burn them"
"No I'm not"
"Yes you are let me do it"
"No you're pregnant sit down" Stephanie slowly moved towards them, stopping in the threshold to watch them. Sasha was reaching over the kitchen island where Bayley was putting the new waffles, before she moved to pour more in the waffle maker, "see I didn't burn them"
"Shut up" Sasha replied as she stuffed her face causing Bayley to laugh making Sasha laugh as well.
Stephanie watched as the two laugh and gave a shaky sigh, running her hands down her face as she thought, "Hey mom?"
"Yes?" Stephanie said suddenly looking up to see Bayley questioning her
"Aren't you hungry?"
Stephanie sighed and calmed herself as she watched Sasha turn and look at her, "y-yea...yes...lets eat."
Stephanie walked into the kitchen and joined her daughters, wrapping her arms around Bayley as she tried not to spill the last of the waffle mix, taking a drop and wiping it on the girls nose causing them all to laugh. Sasha smiled brightly at her mother before Bayley flicked waffle mix at her landing right across her cheek, "oh no you didn't"
Soon the three were in a food fight, laughing and throwing waffle mix as Stephanie pushed the thoughts and her conversation with Charlotte to the back of her head. She didn't want to think about this situation. She didn't want to think about Charlotte's rehab or Bayley's birth mother or Sasha's pregnancy and her rap-..she didn't to think about it. She wanted to enjoy this small moment with her girls. She rarely got to spend a moment of pure happiness with them since they are always busy with school or being punished and grounded. Stephanie wanted to be with her children and laugh with them just as she did when they were younger. Everything else be damned.
