Chapter 13
Aw man. 2 reviews? Where did my lovely reviewers go? Come baaack!
xXx
Everything happened in a blur as soon as she got backstage. Instead of celebrating like she should have, she was whisked away to medical to be checked over. A queue of wrestlers filled the halls to make sure she was safe and well and Dean stood by her side screaming at doctors as they cut away her trousers. Karlee clutched the belt to her side, her fingers digging into the cool steel. She honestly didn't care what was happening around her. The bubble she was encased in was enough to keep her happy. Everything she had ever worked for in her entire life was with her, at her side.
"Have her stitches burst? Does she need a real doctor? Will we call an ambulance?" Dean was frantic and it quickly brought her out of said bubble, ferociously throwing her back into the world.
"I'm fine! Just let me get up and shower!" She batted away the hands that fumbled over her. Dean helped her stand and she hobbled out of the room swiftly, pushing past all the 'Well Dones' and pats on her back. She saw Renee waving at her, microphone in and she knew what that meant. She walked over with a grin on her face, settling her belt high on her shoulder and Dean standing close but out of shot of the camera.
"Ladies and gentleman, here at this time, your newly crowned Diva's champion, Karlee! Now tell us Miss, how does it feel to return on a brand spanking new Pay Per View and snatch the title from Sofia's clutch." Karlee grinned, loving the words that were being said about her.
"You know what, I was a little scared about how the audience would react but I'm glad they were excited to see me. It's certainly a shock to my system that I returned and became champ in one night. I love the people and I promise I will fight to the best of my ability to keep this title and keep them entertained."
"You certainly did shock them. How will you handle Sofia on tomorrow's RAW?"
"Renee, Sofia at this present moment is the least of my worries. I just want to go back to my hotel, take a nice long shower and celebrate with my man."

Dean sat, twiddling the small box in his hands. Karlee was in the shower and they had almost three hours until the RAW show. Everything Megan had said was playing on his mind and now his proposal to Karlee sounded like his way out of getting dumped. He sighed as he threw it into his bag. Out of sight. Out of mind.
Karlee came out of the bathroom minutes later, a cheesy grin on her face. She sauntered over to Dean, an equal grin on his face.
"Hey baby." She whispered, a seductive tone to her voice. Dean growled as she straddled his knees, pushing his chest back so he fell onto the bed. Dean pushed all feelings of guilt to the back of his mind as Karlee flipped her red hair over her shoulder, her shoulders still glistening from her hot shower. Dean settled his hands on her hips, groaning when she ground on top of him.
"Have you seen the doctor yet?" He whispered as she kissed at his neck. She nodded, slowly bringing her eyes up to hover over his.
"Been cleared for the past forty-eight hours." Dean groaned and pulled her down to his lips as their tongues danced together. She tasted amazing, as usual. She gripped at the bottom of his shirt and almost clawed it off, raking her fingernails down his finely formed abs and kissing the muscles on his arms. Karlee was just about to undo his belt buckle when someone started rapping on the door. Dean swore under his breath as Karlee rolled off him and went to answer the door.
"You guys sure know how to knock at the right time." Kaitlyn blushed as she ducked into the room closely followed by Seth.
"Ignore him. He gets real moody when he's horny." Dean threw his shirt at her as she wound a robe around her towelled body.
"We just came into say I'm announcing that I'm leaving tonight. Didn't want it to come as a surprise to you." Karlee smiled weakly. She had lost a friend in Layla and although she had gained trust in Alice, she was still sad at the fact she wouldn't have her best friend 24/7
"Great. Is it OK if I come out and crash your speech. I can't think of another reason to be out there unless I have a match." She nodded wildly. Kaitlyn was glowing and if anything Karlee was a little jealous. She could have had her own mini version running around had it not been for her run in with her ex. She sighed as both girls turned to see Seth showing Dean the scan pictures and the look on Dean's face told Karlee he was thinking the same as her.
"Well Mummy and Daddy, if you don't mind, I need to make myself look like a champion so unless you want to see much more of Karlee, I suggest you tuck tail and run." The pair laughed as they made their way out of the room, Dean head-butting it repeatedly as he shut it after them. He turned to Karlee with a twinkle in his eye, only for her to extinguish it as she put on her jeans.
"Sorry baby, Mamma's got a title to polish."
xXx
Heels. Heels. She could finally wear heels again. As she slipped on her black blazer, she slowly pulled out her lace up lita boots. With a grin, she pulled them on and went to find Alice. She soon saw her talking to AJ and Punk in catering and as they spotted her and came to see her, she passed a huge TV screen. Not thinkin anything of it, she carried on, her belt dangling in her fingertips.
"Hey Champ? Hows the side?" Punk greeted her with a hug.
"It's fine. Nothing too serious although since I shouldn't have a match tonight, I think the week should I've me plenty of time to heal." They nodded in understanding.
"The fans blew up for you last night. It must have felt surreal." Alice added. Karlee smiled as she remembered the crowds reaction and how well she was received.
"I was certainly shocked at how happy they were. I can't wait to meet some of them after the show."
"I see Kait's going out to address the crowd later." AJ muttered timidly. The two were extremely close before AJ and her made it big. They had grown apart a little bit but they were still there for each other a lot.
"Yeah. I'm crashing her speech so she doesn't cry. You should come out with me." Karlee offered but she quickly declined.
"Nah, Think I'll just sit in his locker room and feel sorry for myself." She spoke softly, motioning to Punk at the mention of his locker room. She gave the small diva a hug, her attention quickly going to the monitors on the walls of catering as Kaitlyn's music came on.
Everybody gathered around the wall nearest the curtain and Karlee quickly noticed the giant screen she saw as she walked in wasn't on. Weird. Kaitlyn was using her pregnant glow to her advantage and in her skinny jeans and flowing black shirt, she looked happy and content with life. The crowd were confused as to why she had appeared but they still opened their arms to the young diva.
"Now ladies and gentleman, I should really be giving the spotlight to your new divas champion..." She stopped, letting the crowd get in an extremely loud 'Karlee' chant. Karlee blushed as the small crowd in catering whooped and clapped, blissfully unaware she was actually there.
"... But I have something to announce to you and all my amazing fans." The crowd stopped cheering and Karlee could pinpoint the moment they all started panicking.
"I, Kaitlyn, am out here tonight to announce that tonight will be my last night on WWE television. I am sad to be leaving but fortunately my intentions are good because..." Kaitlyn's speech was cut short as loud music cut through the air. Karlee's stomach flipped as she recognized the blonde diva storming down to the ring. Sofia got in and stood right in Kaitlyn's way.
"Ain't you sweet, thinking all these people care. Well guess what darling, they don't. But instead of running off, why don't you stay here. You, for once in your life, may be useful." Kaitlyn wasn't scared but foolishly decided to stay out anyway and see what was going to happen. She stayed on alert, aware that any fighting would be dangerous.
"Now I am out here for one reason and one reason only. Someone took something away from me last night that I cared about immensely. And I had no warning that I was supposed to defend my title last night with was very unfair." The crowd collectively laughed at her misfortune and started their chant again. Sofia looked pissed but it certainly didn't stop her.
"So, if Karlee wants to ruin my career, I would like to give her a little present. Are there any camera's backstage?" The tron flickered to the camera in the catering room and Karlee was on screen, her title slung on her shoulder with a big smile on her face.
"Aw, my title. Karlee, why don't you do me a little favour and go and stand in front of the big screen over there." Karlee sighed, but as she shrugged her shoulders, she went over to the screen, actually interested in what Sofia had to say.
"Now, I have acquired some very interesting footage. It may be old but I roped in a few favours from an old friend and I now have, in my possession, something that will crush your entire world." Karlee scoffed.
"If you give me my rematch tonight, I will not embarrass you in front of your entire fan base. I will abandon this and instead step into the ring with you. Your choice sweetheart." Karlee chuckled, grabbing a microphone that was handed to her.
"I ain't stepping in the ring with anybody tonight. I'm not medically cleared after last night so blast whatever you have at me because nothing you have will embarrass me." Sofia grinned.
"Fair enough. Roll the VT!" The crowd silenced as they watched the screen flicker to life and the diva's champion watch in interest."
Karlee's heart dropped into her stomach as she saw Dean's face. He was lying on a bed and there was a woman on top of him. The video was in black and white so she couldn't see the colour of the woman's hair. She almost stopped breathing. They were naked. Who had filmed the two of them in bed together. And the worst thing was, they looked like they were doing a little more than snuggling. Then it happened. The woman turned, her face coming into view.
It wasn't Karlee.
The crowd did a collective gasp as Karlee stood, gawking at the screen. Her heart was hammering against her ribcage as she saw who she considered one of her close friends, on top of her boyfriend. Karlee could hear Sofia laughing at her as her heart broke into a million pieced.
Why?
Why would Dean cheat on her.
"Guess he wasn't getting it at home ladies and gents so he went somewhere else!" Some of the crowd laughed but the rest booed. Tears were coming out of her eyes but she wiped them away with the back of her hand, adamant not to rise to the bait. There must be an explanation.
"Seriously? Are you still trying to go after my man? What is it you really want? My title or my boyfriend?" Sofia growled.
"I will get my rematch... I will!" She screamed. Sofia was ready to wrestle and Karlee started to panic as she started to pace around the ring, annoyed at the fact her first attempt failed.
Then she kicked Kaitlyn in the back of the knee. The move was completely out of nowhere and Kaitlyn's knee's hit the ground with a thud. Sofia grabbed her by the neck and held the microphone to her mouth.
"You have less than ten seconds to get out here and give me my rematch or bestie gets it!" Karlee turned on her heel and bolted, completely missing Dean who was standing with the guiltiest look on his face. Seth was shoving on his shoes in a hurried attempt to get out and save his pregnant girlfriend.
"I'll get her. Wait until I've got Sofia and come and get her." Karlee ignored everyone and everything else and flew past the curtain and down the ramp, heels or not. She dropped her title on the mat as she stood up in the ring, Sofia still clutching Kaitlyn by the neck. She handed the microphone over with her spare hand.
"I'll give you your rematch, just let her go!" She gasped. Sofia grinned, signalling for the ref to ring the bell. As soon as the three little dongs rang out, Kaitlyn was shoved to the side, mouthing a silent thank you in response.
Karlee readied herself, fists up in defence as Sofia laughed manically. Karlee felt a tap on her back. She never though anything of it so she turned around.
To see Megan.
And the next thing she saw was the bottom of Megan's boot as it connected with her head. Then it all went black.
xXx
