Chapter 8: We're All In This Together

Night felt John unconsciously tighten his grip. She kissed his cheek and whispered a quick, "Don't worry," before standing up. She helped John up and hugged him tightly.

"Night, come with me," Matt said as he was walking down the hall. Night shook her head slightly and walked, with John, to meet him. "Come with me," he repeated.

"Matt, I could never be with someone who lies to keep me with them. Who makes up lies to get me with him in the first place." She hugged John.

"I never lied to you! I didn't make up anything! I never lied to you!" Matt protested. "I would never do anything like that."

"What was everything about John going to do something to me? About him being manipulative." Night said pointedly.

"I did hear that. I never lied about anything! I remember perfectly what John said that night."

"What night? What did I say? I never said anything about hurting Night," John said suspiciously.

"Yes, you did," Matt said loudly.

"No, I didn't," John shouted back.

"Yes, you did!"

"No, I didn't!"

"Yes, you did!"

"No, I didn't!"

Night rolled her eyes and pushed the two apart. They had gotten to the point where they would have hit each other if she had not stepped in the way.

"Now shut up, both of you. John let Matt tell us what he heard and then you can refute whatever he says. Okay? Okay. Matt, what did you hear?"

"I was walking by his dressing room when I heard him talking about breaking her heart and hurting her. I stopped to listen, but I couldn't hear any more. I went to tell Batista because I knew that he could do more stuff to John then I coul. Unfortunately, he was already out in his match against Eddie. After he came backstage I told him what I heard and we did the only thing we could do. We kidnapped you. Well, actually, I did, but Batista was there. We stuck you in a closet and tried to time it to when you would wake up. I came back and I didn't want to take you to John's, but I couldn't let you know that it was me that kidnapped you. I was afraid for you, but I knew you wouldn't go with me if I told you. I was the one who recorded you and Batista in the park. We also had figured out that if we did that you would come to us. I love you, Night. I didn't want you to get hurt."

Night laughed silently. He had probably caused more mental pain that he would ever know, but she felt warmth spread from the tips of her toes to the top of her head. Even though Matt had hurt her, not lied to her, but did, he had done it all for the best.

"Okay John, what was your version?"

"When I was in my dressing room I was talking about my best friend, how her boyfriend was going to hurt her and break her heart. She didn't listen to me, obviously, and I was right. That's what I was doing earlier. Other than that, I just really thought you were cheating on me with Batista and Matt. I'm sorry I didn't listen to you. I love you, I do."

Night grimaced. What was she going to do? Both men loved her and she loved them. Of course, she loved John more, but she didn't want to break Matt's heart. She smiled and hugged John. She hugged Matt as well. "Now that we have all that cleared up. Let's go party!" Best to keep up appearances. I'll choose one of them later... if I have to.

Matt and John hesitantly shook hands and followed Night back into the common room. Night had a little skip in her step as she walked back in. Everything must look like it's going great. The three of them sat down on a vacated couch and turned to watch the nearest television.

Night laid her head on John's shoulder. Matt laid on her's and put his arm around her waist, which was probably a little weird for John, but oh well. Night liked it and that was really all that mattered. John kissed Night's forehead and hugged her tightly, albeit awkwardly.The girl smiled and closed her eyes. She slowly felt herself slipping into a deep sleep and could feel Matt's breathing slow. It had been an emotional day for all of them. Night felt safe in-between the boys and fell into slumberland.

Night woke up to screaming and yelling. She blinked to clear the sleep from her eyes and shook her head. She patted her hair into place without realizing it. She looked around confused and was bumped off the couch when it was shoved.

Night got off the floor and put her hands on her hips. The argumentative words died in her mouth. John and Batista were fighting with Matt standing off to one side. John got thrown into the couch again and it ran into Night's legs making her fall on it. She blew her hair out of her face and got back up. Night ran over to Matt.

"What's going on?"

"Batista came in and saw us on the couch. He was so mad. He wanted to fight us but no one wanted to hurt you, so we gently put you on the couch and got up to fight him. We didn't mean to wake you. I'm sorry we did, but it has gotten a little violent." He put his arm around Night and hugged her close. "Sorry for waking you."

Night smelled Matt. He smelled good, but not like he used to smell. "It's okay. I don't mind. I shouldn't have been asleep anyway."

John and Batista were both out on the floor breathing heavily. Night walked over in between them with Matt by her side.

"Now, boys," she emphasized the boys, she knew guys didn't like to be called boys. It hurt their egos. "Let's not fight. I thought we had already gotten over this. Now let's all get along."

Batista and John glared at each other. Apparently, that isn't what they wanted.

"Come on now. I know we can get along. It was all a big misunderstanding. Seriously, if you two don't get along, well then I suppose I will just have to leave." Night had been contemplating this for a long time. She really wasn't a very good wrestler, but then most divas were that way these days. Used only for their looks and not for their wrestling ability. She didn't want to be one of those divas.

"No, you can't leave, Night. Please stay," Matt said. John and Batista were slowly getting up.

"Will someone tell me what's going on please?" Batista asked exasperated. Night walked over and put a hand on his arm.

"'Tista, it was all a big misunderstanding. John wasn't talking about me. He was talking about his best friend. Believe me, I know."

Batista looked skeptical, but shrugged his shoulders. "I suppose I could believe you." He held out his hand for John.

John looked at it and hesitantly took it. They shook hands and Night hugged them both.

"Yay! We are all friends now."

It wasn't long after that, the four of them became an unstoppable force in the WWE. Night trained with the boys and became a decent wrestler. She could beat almost any of her opponents. She had lost only very few matches and occationally helped her boys win some of theirs. It was only natural for her to do that. She didn't like doing it, but when it was called for, she did.

She got to see many places, not just Italy. They went to England, Canada, Japan, France, Germany. They were booed in some places, cheered until they were deaf in others. Night couldn't have been happier. She even got to meet some of the Smackdown Superstars when they had Wrestlemainia and other pay-per-views where they were all together. Her favorite, she decided, was the Undertaker, but he wasn't in the PPVs very much anymore.

However happy she might be she still missed her friends and family. She found herself getting homesick. The boys tried to keep her happy and occupied, she still missed her friends terribly.

Author's Note: Sorry that this was so long in coming out. RL has a horrible way of interfering when you least expect or want it to. Anyway, there is only one more chapter left and it probably won't be a very long one. It's only the finishing chapter. I hope you have liked my story. I did... except for the last chapters. I don't know... maybe someday I will come back and see if I can fix it to my liking, but probably not. Anyway, review please. I will love you forever. I already do if you have read this far with me. YAY! Go your guys! I love you:D
