Divas Prison Ch22

"Becky, what the hell were you thinking? No, forget that, how can you have possibly have been thinking if you would do any of this?" Natalya had stunned all of her friends into complete silence like she was a school teacher scolding a group of misbehaving children. She had been so relieved to be released from solitary after a month in isolation for fighting, only to find out that her friends had made a deal that she would never have agreed to in a million years. "You made massive decisions in my life, you did it all before you had a chance to talk to me about it, and you've put me in a position where I have to be around those who I hate every day without being able to do anything about it?"

"Nattie, stop, please." Emma tried to cool the fire that was building up within her cellmate. Becky had gone very pale from the verbal onslaught that she had just had to withstand. Paige tried to reassure her but Becky just buried her head into Paige's shoulder and neck, not able to look Natalya in the face anymore. Paige put her hand around and held her head in place.

"Do you feel better now then?" Paige was the one getting angry now. "She's put so much work into helping you, and this is how you respond?"

"Help me? How did she help me? By making deals with those disrespectful lowlife twins? By promising I'll behave myself, like a good girl?" I want them dead, you know that, and you took that away from me, you selfish bitch." Paige was ready to slap her friend but was focused on Becky, who was shaking by that point, so stayed still. Emma on the other hand wasn't, and she slapped Natalya hard across the face, the first time she had done that in the years that they had been locked up together. The guards saw it, but they just found it funny at that moment.

"Nattie, you know I'm you're friend, and you know I respect you, but you are both wrong and out of order right now. You can't blame Becky for what happened. She talked to all three of us about it and we all agreed that it was the best course of action. We made the choice for you and for us. Of course we wanted you back here, we missed you as soon as you were gone, we would have done anything to make that happen. If you want to call us selfish for that, then go ahead, but as far as we're concerned, we saved your life. I don't feel guilty for that, and nor should any of us."

"Saved my life? How do you think you managed that? The Lock sucks, but I could have handled it." Charlotte had been reluctant to get involved, but felt this was the time.

"Because that's not all you were getting. In the offices, they were talking about attempted murder charges. There were some guys in talking to my dad, I think they were FBI or something, who were trying to get as much evidence as they could. My dad loves being able to help and pushed them to go for max sentences."

"No offence Charlotte, but I really hate your dad." Paige said, and was met by murmurs of agreement from the others. Becky even laughed a little as she came out from Paige's neck.

"You got all this just from working in the office?" Natalya wanted to know.

"No, I got all this from listening through the door. I thought heard your name as they turned up so I hid by the door and listened. It was a risk, but, in case you didn't hear it the first time, it was worth it. We wanted you back, but we didn't want you to spend most of, if not all your life in here."

Natalya hadn't been formally charged with anything so she was unaware of what the plan was for her until now. It didn't feel like Charlotte was lying, especially since she probably would have killed both of them if she had been able to and she told them she'd kill them as she was dragged away in cuffs. She'd never really considered, or cared about the punishment she'd have faced if she'd been successful. Or even the ones they tried to bring for what she did. Not until this moment. "So by saved my life, you meant a life in prison." She asked Emma.

"Well yes, but what if you killed them. That could have meant Death Row. So I see it more literally. And you should too. If you can't, then how can we be your friends? We can't sit by and watch that happen to you, so if you can't understand that, you're on your own." Emma was serious, you could tell by the look on her face.

"I can't handle this anymore, I'm sorry Nat, really I am." Becky was blaming herself for all of this after getting the tongue lashing at the beginning and couldn't take all the back and forth. She got up from the table and disappeared back to her cell.

"I'll talk to her" Paige said "but you better get your head out of your ass and apologise." She stared holes through Natalya as she went after her girlfriend.

From the other side of the block, Sasha saw this and smiled.

"You see, you're driving your friends away. Is that what you want?" Emma kept trying to make a breakthrough to Natalya and this time it seemed to work as she sighed and looked down.

"No, it isn't, you girls mean the world to me. Oh it's all such a mess." Natalya now rested her head in her hand. "I just hated them so much for what they did to me. They embarrassed me to my family and got me locked up in one simple move. They made a fool of me. Seeing them again, I just lost control. Thank god they didn't charge me, if it made the news I'd be in real trouble back home." Suddenly the penny dropped. "Oh my god, you guys really did save me." Emma and Charlotte let out a simultaneous breath of relief.

"About time, so how do you feel now?" Emma asked, keeping the high and mighty tone just a little longer.

"Stupid. I feel stupid. I let them get to me, again. That's the last time."

"Don't even think about it, Nat." Emma was ready to stop her if needed.

"No, I'm not going for them now. You said I can't anyway. You did that for me, so I'll play along for you all. But I will get revenge on them, some day, somehow."

"Just relax for now ok? Enjoy having people to talk to, even if it's less people than usual." Emma was dropping a not very subtle hint with the way she was saying the last part and Natalya easily picked up on it. "Oh no, Becky. And Paige as well. They must hate me right now. Do you think they will forgive me?"

"They will, I know they will. You may have to eat a lot of humble pie, lucky for you I'm ready to dish a whole load of it up for you."

Ok, masterchef, I know. Listen, I'm sorry I've been such a she-devil today. You both did more for me than anyone could ever ask. I should be more grateful. I truly am sorry. Please, forgive me?" Nattie was genuine in her words and both Emma and Charlotte knew it. They took a hand of hers each and held it tight.

"Course we do, just don't go nuts too often ok?" Charlotte said. They all smiled at that.

Natalya knew that she had to go apologise to Becky, but gave it a little while for things to calm down. Paige hadn't spoken to her like that before and it was rare that she would allow that from anybody. This time was the exception as she keen then that she deserved it and it meant that things were good between Paige and Becky. They had only been together about 12 hours when they took her away. She reached the cell and found both of them in there. Becky was resting on Paiges bunk, facing away, with the latter sitting there stroking her forehead in the way Becky did to relax Paige. It was certainly becoming a thing between them to do that but Paige stopped when she saw Natalya standing at the door. Anger returned to her face and she pointed away from the cell, trying to show Natalya she wasn't welcome without making any noise or letting Becky know she was there. Natalya's face fell but she didn't move, leading to Paige reinforcing her gesture but Natalya shook her head this time. Paige kissed Becky on the side of her head gently before meeting Natalya at the door. "Can't you take a hint?" She hissed, as quietly as possible while making her point.

"I'm not here to fight, I'm here to try and make things right with Becky, with both of you. I want to apologise, my head is ass free and I'm sorry." Paige wanted to give her a chance but wasn't sure to let her talk to Becky. "Really?"

"Yes really. You, her and the others are the only reason I'm back here and not moved out or stuck in solitary for God knows how long. I owe you all for that. I wish there was another way to do it course, but you were putting me before that."

"You and I agree on that, do you think I'd have wanted any deals made with Banks, let alone those two twins?"

"Wait a minute, Banks is involved how, nobody mentioned that before." Paige sighed, thinking they were about to fall out again. "She set up the deal. I know she's got an angle, but I don't know what, and at that moment, I didn't care."

"You agreed to deal with Banks for me?" Natalya was shocked at that point. She didn't know what to say. Instead she grabbed Paige in a hug, although it wasn't returned.

"What's is going on with you? Anger, apologising then hugging? Let me go!" Natalya did let go, looked and saw Paige was still mad. "I'm sorry, but if you of all people would make a deal with someone like her just for me..." She trailed off, leaving a long moment of silence before she was able to continue. "You're a true friend. I'm sorry I got so angry. I'll leave you be if you want, maybe I can apologise to Becky another time." Natalya went to leave but was called back. "Nat..."

She turned round and Paige held her arms out and they hugged properly. "I'm still mad at you, you know, she said when the hug was over. "You hurt Becky, which means you hurt me."

"I know, and I know you were looking out for her. Shows me how much you love her."

"Damn right I do, but I think she'll forgive you, she wouldn't have got so freaked out if she didn't care. But can it wait till later, maybe tomorrow, let me calm her down better so you can talk properly. Fair?"

"Fair, Makes a lot of sense really."

"Great, I'm going to get back to her ok?" Nattie nodded, turning back to the tables.

"Nattie?" She looked back towards Paige. "It's great to have you back, really." Nattie smiled at the comment, partly out of relief and went to sit down. The others were happy to hear that Paige had accepted her apology and her temper hadn't got in the way.

Becky took a little bit longer to get back on track. Paige had stayed up late, making sure she got off to sleep properly meaning she was a little tired herself but she and Becky both skipped breakfast and stayed in, lying together, both drifting in and out of consciousness. Natalya did put her head in, trying to talk to Becky but snuck away when she saw the two of them, letting them be. Becky was up by the time they were interrupted again, and his time by Naomi. "Oh what do you want now?" Becky said, getting the usual snide response.

"Boss wants you, let's go." Becky looked at Paige, still resting but awake.

"Paige, you ok if I go?"

"No, but you know it's not worth the hassle arguing. Just don't be long ok?"

Becky gave Paige a smile and hired over to Sasha who was in her cell. Naomi was dismissed as always but she never seemed to have much a problem with it. "What do you want now? I thought that this was all over?" Becky said, annoyed. Sasha was a lot calmer.

"No need to be on edge, we're just talking, I wouldn't have asked Naomi to get you, but it needed to be in private. First of all, is everything ok from your end, I think everyone could tell Natalya wasn't happy with the deal when you told her."

"No she wasn't, She was mad, especially with me but she wants to apologise to me today so I think she's understanding it a lot better now. You don't have anything to worry about your new pets, they're safe, from her anyway."

"Good to hear it." Becky went to leave.

"Wait, one more thing please." Becky groaned and turned back.

"Fine, what?"

"Don't be like that, please. I want you and I to be friends. I've seen how much you care about your friends and I think you and I could make a good team. I want to put everything behind us and make a fresh start." She took Becky's hand as she said that, making Becky uncomfortable.

"Let go Sasha, please."

"Come on Becky, you said that you'd give it a chance and we could be friendly once the deals would be over. I've seen something in you and I want to find out if..." Sasha didn't finish her sentence, but instead kissed Becky's lips, hard and strong. Sasha wrapped her arms around Becky's neck and kept kissing her, putting as much into it as she could. Becky was caught completely off guard at first, but as soon as she realised she tried to pull away but couldn't due to the tight grip Sasha had around her neck. She pushed hard against Sasha and eventually was able to break them apart.

"What was that?" She demanded.

"Please, don't be mad, I just, I had to do that."

"Why? Why did you have to do that? What did you think would happen?"

"It's not what I thought, it's what I knew would happen. You had better go." Becky had no idea what she meant until she turned round. She went to leave the cell but had to do a quick stop. There was someone in her way. It was Natalya, who had a look you could barely explain on her face. "Becky, what did you do? What have you done?"

"No no no no, it's not what it looks like, I didn't do anything, she kissed me, that's all, I swear!"

"That's not what it looked like to me."

"Nattie please! I didn't kiss her! On my life! She just grabbed me and kissed me, she wouldn't let me go. I'd never want to do anything with her, please, you've got to believe me." Becky was getting frantic.

" Its ok Bex, but it's not me you need to talk to about this." Becky now really felt in a panic.

"Oh my god, Paige. Nattie, please don't tell Paige about this, she's going to absolutely lose it." Natalya grabbed Beckys arms to try and calm her.

"You've got to calm down, the problem isn't about me telling Paige."

"Thank you, thank you! I don't know how I can either, I can't lose her, but I'm going to have to aren't I." Natalya's face dropped here, Becky had interrupted her before.

"No, that's not what I meant. Telling her isn't the problem Becky..." Becky looked confused before Nattie explained why. Becky felt her heart and mind shatter all at once.

"She saw you too."

A/N: I almost couldn't write that last part, it hurt to do so. Damn you Sasha.

I didn't enjoy the Divas booking this week. I'm not sure who thought Brie could be a legit threat right now with one fluke roll up. She needs build up and could have had a great feud after Wrestlemania.

I'm enjoying Total Divas at the moment, never thought I'd say that.

As always, thank you to all followers and reviewers. Every review has been so amazing.
