Natalie prayed she was OK, and lay on the mat. Thank god she didn't have to get up. Kurt got the pin and
won, but when Adam came to help, she winced as he pulled her up. He knew something was wrong. As they walked
up the ramp, supposedly faking injury, he whispered to her, 'What happened?'. She couldn't whisper back, just
grimaced.
They walked backstage, and were greeted by Kurt before anything more could be said. 'Jesus, Natalie, are you OK?
I saw it, you landed wrong, kinda on one side.'. He looked worried, and Natalie shook her head. 'My back...hurts.'.
She couldn't argue, and Adam took her off to see the EMTs. 'Yep.' the paramedic said, rolling his eyes, 'One of the
discs in your neck has slipped out of place. Probably jerked out of place by a move like that.'. Natalie sighed. 'How
long till I can wrestle again?'. The paramedic smirked. 'At least a month. And you're gonna wanna be lying down
for that month.'. 'Fuck!' Natalie screamed, and stomped out of the room. Adam, amazed she even had a temper went after her.
'Natalie!' he said, whirling her around. She had tears down her face, and she was very upset. He hugged her tight to him.
'It's OK, Nat. Honest. You'll be back out there the second you can be.'. She cried into him. 'What a way to start my career.
I've really mucked things up. What are we gonna do with the storyline now? Vince'll kill me!'. Adam shook his head, and pulled
her back, looking into her eyes. 'No. It happens. He'll just put you injured, or edit you out of that programme.' he paused,
realising this wasn't making anything any better. 'You know Jay's not been around the past coupla weeks?' he asked. She nodded,
she'd never thought much of his absence. 'He broke his ass!' Adam laughed as Natalie giggled. 'He snapped his tailbone?'
she said, beaming. 'Yep!' Adam giggled, 'Landed wrong. It happens.'. Natalie licked her lips, 'Well I wasn't stupid enough to
do that!'. 'Hey hey hey!' Adam said, trying to support her back as he held her, 'It wasn't your fault. It was just a muck-up,
Kurt probably slammed you wrong.'. Natalie looked up at him with wide eyes. 'Really?'. He smiled, 'Yeah. Wouldn't be the
first time.'.
When they arrived at Adam's house, Natalie lay on Adam's bed, closing her eyes and hoping her painkillers would kick in soon.
Adam walked in, and helped her up. He helped her into the bathtub, as she winced. He inspected her back as he washed it with
a sponge. 'You got a bruise the shape of Florida' he said, as she sighed. 'Beats the shape of Asia.' she replied.
He helped her out of the bathtub 5 minutes later, and she got ready for bed. She slept on the kitchen floor. It was cool and
soothing, and the doctor said it would help.
She woke up the next morning to Adam waking her. 'Natalie. Wake up baby.' he whispered. She stirred, and rolled over, then wailed.
'Owwww!' she screamed. Adam rolled her back, and kissed her. 'Nat, no. I'll help you, come on.' he said, taking her arm. He pulled
her up and she sat down. 'How you feeling?' he asked, pushing a strand of her loose hair behind her ear. 'Like Jay, just without a
swollen backside.' she quipped, starting to move again. 'No no no!' Adam said, stopping her, and grabbing her arm, 'You're going nowhere.
Unless you need the toilet, coz I'm pretty sure you can do that by yourself.'. Natalie rolled her eyes. 'I need a shower. I've been
sleeping amongst your many dusty friends.'. He pulled her up, and walked with her to the bathroom, and stood outside the shower
to help her. When she came out, he wrapped her in a towel. She lay on his bed and watched cartoons as he got ready.
They walked down the arena corridor, Adam keeping one arm round her stomach, and one round her back. They bumped into Vince, walking
the opposite way. 'Ah, Natalie. Hows the back?' he asked. 'Sore.' she croaked, trying to stand straight, 'I'm so sorry, I've really mucked
up the storyline I know...'. Vince interrupted. 'No way! It's OK. But you know Jay? He broke his ass, really mucked up a storyline.
But you didn't do anything that can't be fixed. I better be going, I have a meeting. Be careful, yeah?'. Vince left, and Natalie nodded.
Her and Adam eventually reached the ring, and she lay down on the side of the ring as Adam went through some training with Jeff Hardy.
'Uh...should she be there, man?' Jeff asked, nodding his head toward Natalie, 'I don't want to trip over her and break her back or
her ass, like Jay.'. 'It's OK Jeff' Natalie called over, turning her head to watch them, 'Coz I don't think I'd notice. This hurts enough as it
is.'. Jeff laughed, and went back to work with Adam.
Later on, during the show, Kurt was looking after Natalie as Adam wrestled. 'So, you got a nice bruise?' Kurt asked, stretching out for his
match, which was up next. 'Yeah.' Natalie said, laughing, 'I'm pretty sure I could sell the pics on eBay for a fortune.'. Kurt laughed,
and exhaled. 'Could have been worse y'know. Jay broke his ass the other day, really mucked up a storyline.'. Natalie rolled her eyes, and
giggled. 'Yeah, I heard.'.
