PART SIX

THE NEXT NIGHT

"I can't believe her!" Britney exploded.

"Brit, I have no problem fighting Lesnar. I've actually wanted this match for a while." Adam explained, hoping to calm her down.

"It's not that! That slimy bastard got off by coming up with this idea!" Britney replied, looking at Nicole.

Glancing up, Nicole met her best friend's eyes and gave her a slight smile. "It'll be okay Brit. Adam can beat Brock."

"What about Heyman?" Britney replied, noticing how Nicole winced at the name. If she couldn't even stand hearing his name, how would she do out in front of thousands of people during Adam and Brock's match?

"We'll deal with Heyman if we have to. Now, let's go, the match is on in a minute." Nicole answered, looking at her friends and walking out the door. Truth was, she was scared to be out there with Heyman and Brock, but she knew she had to. But, she had to be strong, she couldn't let Heyman get the best of her.

THE MATCH

"Come on Adam!" Nicole and Britney yelled, pounding on the apron, trying to will Adam to fight out of the hold Brock had on his head. Glancing over, Nicole noticed Paul Heyman grinning at her. Shuddering and shaking it off, Nicole turned her attention back to the match.

"Our cue." Britney pointed out after a minute, noticing that Adam, Brock and the referee were all down. Nicole nodded and followed her. Britney climbed in the ring and distracted Brock while Nicole climbed up on the top turnbuckle and executed a hurricanrana on Brock.

Getting back to her feet, Nicole smiled at the crowd, getting a very positive reaction. As she was smiling and waving to the crowd, Nicole didn't notice that Paul Heyman was approaching her. She also didn't realize that he had a steel chair in his hands.

Looking to her right, Britney noticed Paul Heyman getting in the ring. She also noticed the chair in his hand. As he reached the chair above his head, Britney thought quick and pushed Nicole out of the way, taking the chair shot for her.

Adam was slowly getting to his feet when he saw Britney get hit with the chair. Not even thinking about Heyman, Adam quickly rushed to Britney's side, seeing if she was okay.

Smiling at his feat, Paul turned to Nicole, who was getting back up with help from the ropes. Glancing over at Britney quickly, he noticed that Adam was tending to her and not even paying attention to him. Focusing his attention back on Nicole, he raised the chair above his hand and went to swing.

Before he could swing, Paul felt someone grab the chair from his hands. He turned around to meet the chest of Brock Lesnar. Glancing up, Paul met Brock's eyes, which were full of rage.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Paul questioned as Brock threw the chair out of his reach.

"Me? What the hell are you doing? This wasn't what was supposed to happen! Nicole and Britney were supposed to hit me and Adam was supposed to win!" Brock yelled back.

"The bitch deserved it!" Paul spat back, glaring at Nicole who was watching the whole situation with wide eyes.

Glancing at Nicole once more, Brock grabbed Paul by the shirt collar and pulled him out of the ring, and up the ramp.

Once they were gone, Nicole looked over at Britney, who hadn't moved at all. Rushing to her side, she tried to shake Adam from his trance, knowing that they needed to get Britney to the back.

"Adam!" Nicole yelled, finally getting his attention.

"Huh?"

"Come on, we have to get her to the back." Nicole instructed, sliding out of the ring. Adam followed and picked up Britney carefully, walking up the ramp, to the back.

"Is she okay?" Matt questioned immediately after they got backstage.

"I don't know, I have to get her to the trainer." Adam replied, pushing past them.

"Are you okay?" Matt questioned, looking at Nicole.

"I'm fine, I hit my head when I fell, but I'm fine. I just hope Brit's okay." Nicole replied, sighing. "Um… I'm just going to go change, I'll see you later Matt."

Hugging her, Matt nodded. "See you later Nic."

TRAINER'S ROOM

"Brit? Are you okay?" Adam questioned, trying to wake her up.

"Adam, you need to calm down. We have to check her out." One trainer replied.

"What's going on?"

"Brit!" Adam exclaimed, jumping out of his seat.

Grabbing her head, Britney groaned. "Adam, please don't yell."

"Sorry." He replied, now whispering. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah… I just want to go back to the hotel and go to sleep."

"You can't go to sleep Britney." The trainer replied. "You might have a concussion. Sleep would be the worst thing for you now."

"Fine, can I just go back to the hotel then?"

"I suppose, as long as you won't be alone."

"She wont." Adam replied. "I'll stay with her."

THE HOTEL

"Adam, you didn't have to do this." Britney said as Adam laid her down on the bed.

"Yes I did. You were hurt and I couldn't let you stay by yourself."

"Aw, thanks Adam." Britney replied, smiling. "Hey, where's Nicole?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen her since you got hurt."

"Shit, I wonder where she is."

"I'm sure she's okay. But, I'll call her cell to be sure." He replied, seeing the worried look on Britney's face.

"Thanks."

Picking up his phone, Adam dialed Nicole's number, hoping she would answer.

"Hello?"

"Nic, where are you?"

"Um… I'll be there in a few minutes." Nicole replied.

"Where are you though?" Adam asked again.

"I'm still at the arena. I have to do something. I'll be back soon. Don't worry."

Shaking his head, Adam hung up and turned back to Britney. "She'll be back soon."

"Is she okay?"

He just nodded and sat back down next to her on the bed. "She's fine, she just had to do something I guess."

"Oh okay, well I really wanted to thank you." Britney said, surprising Adam.

"Thank me for what? I didn't stop you from getting hit. If I had you wouldn't need me here right now."

Grabbing his hand, Britney smiled. "No, this isn't your fault. I took that shot for Nicole, that was my choice. There wasn't anything either of you could do to stop me. But, you didn't have to come back here with me, and you did. I appreciate that."

"It's really no big deal." Adam protested.

"It is to me." Britney replied, hugging him.

Pulling away, she looked up at him, meeting his eyes. Smiling, he leaned down and kissed her gently. After a second he pulled away, realizing that he just made what could possibly be a huge mistake. "Brit, I… I'm sorry." He said, running his hands through his hair.

"Adam, Adam." Britney said, grabbing his hand again. "Don't apologize."

"You mean you…"

Cutting him off, Britney placed her lips on his, kissing him deeply. "Is that a good enough answer?" She asked after they had pulled away.

"Well, it's about time." Turning around, they both blushed when they noticed that Nicole had seen the whole thing.

"Excuse me?" Britney questioned, eyeing her friend.

"You two have had a thing for each other since forever. You were just too busy denying it to do anything about it." Nicole explained.

"Is that so?" Adam asked, grinning.

"Yes it is, and I'm glad you both admitted it, cuz you're so cute together." Nicole responded. "Oh Brit, how's your head?"

"I'm okay. No big deal."

"It is a big deal, thanks for taking that shot for me." Nicole replied, walking over to hug her friend. "I should be thanking Brock too, but I don't plan on going to find him anytime soon."

"Wait, thank Brock?" Adam questioned. "For what?"

"You didn't see it?" Nicole asked, watching as her friends both shook their heads. "After Heyman hit Brit, he went to hit me. Brock grabbed the chair from him and dragged him out of the ring."'

"That man doesn't make any sense. One minute he's nice, then he's a jerk, then he saves you. What's his deal?" Britney questioned.

"I don't know, but I really appreciate what he did. Maybe I'll thank him tomorrow, when Heyman has his meeting with Steph and the other writers."

"If you go, I'm coming with you."

"Brit, I'm a big girl, I'm not scared of Brock, or Heyman for that matter. I just can't stand being around Heyman. He makes me want to puke." She retorted.

Sighing, Britney gave in, knowing that she didn't want to argue with Nicole. She only hoped Brock's jerk attitude was only an act, and that Nicole knew what she could be getting into.
