Make sure you guys go and check out her new story "One Night With a Green Eyed Stranger"

Without further adu...


Yelena's heart was now in her throat, her eyes wide as stared up at him

"Randy... I... I..." she stammered, unable to for words

He wasn't even looking at her. No, his eyes were glued on Chris, his blue eyes cold and threatening

Her eyes turned on the Canadian also, who had his arms folded across his chest, a small smirk playing on his lips now, his gaze mot leaving Randy for a second.

"What the hell is going on?" Randy spat venomously

"Randy, it's nothing-" she started

"No, not you." he interrupted heatedly.

Yelena didn't know what was worse: The maliciousness in his tone or that fact that he hadn't looked at her yet

"I don't want to hear anything from you. I want to hear it fromhim." Randy said, narrowing his eyes at the man in front of him.

Yelena snapped her mouth shut, glancing between the two men

"Apparently you know the big secret that everyone is talking about behind my back. Something is obviously going on that I don't know even though I was told that there was nothing for me to worry about." he said, his eyes skipping to Yelena for half a second before turning back to Chris.

She couldn't breathe. It was like she was forgetting how to and her chest felt like it was going to cave in.

Chris let out a scoff, looking at her now "Are you going to tell him or are you going to let me do the honors?"

"Randy please, can we talk about this in private-" she begged

"No!" Randy barked "You've had so many chances to talk. Lets hear it Chris."

"I think you should hear it from her, it would be much more entertaining."

Yelena shot him a glare

"And what the fuck are you implying?" Randy demanded

"I'm implying that your little girlfriend over here isn't as innocent as she made you think Orton."

"Shut the fuck up Chris." Yelena hissed

Randy's blood boiled at those familiar words, a conversation he'd had with del Rio popping into his mind

"Just be careful. She might not be as innocent as you think." The Mexican Aristocrat had told him

He was trying to warn him all along

Randy's accusatory gaze slid over to Yelena finally and she winced.

"You've been fucking him?" he fired at her

"No, let me explain-" she cried

"No?" Chris butted in

"Shut up!" she yelled at him before turning back to Randy "It not what you think, I swear!"

"Then tell me what the fuck it is Yelena!" he yelled

"I... It was nothing, just-"

"Yeah, I would hardly call six months 'nothing'" Chris outed

"Shut the fuck up Chris!" she yelled angrily

Randy's face was darkening by the second with anger

"Randy, please." she pleaded "I didn't want you to find out this way."

"Yeah Orton, I didn't want to have to tell you that you've been fucking my sloppy seconds, but-"

Before Chris could even finish, Randy had charged at him, tackling him to the ground and Yelena could only watch in horror as the two men brawled. She could remember calling for help before blood started flowing, but she couldn't hear herself. It was like water was filling her ears. She yelled and pleaded with them to stop. Help finally arrived and it took most of the men's locker room to restrain the two.

Randy had definitely gotten the better of Chris, who's mouth was bleeding heavily

They were fighting against their co- workers like mad men to get at each other while Yelena stood frozen

"Break it up!" John yelled "Get him out of here before Stephanie and Paul gets wind of this shit."

"Get the fuck off of me!" Randy roared angrily

Cautious hands released him and he stormed angrily towards the locker room

Yelena forced herself to follow after, running to catch up

"Hey!" Phil called, appearing beside her "I don't think that's a good idea right now. You might want to wait until he's calmed down a bit."

She ignored him, catching up with the Viper now "Randy, can we talk about this?"

He said nothing as he kept on walking. Yelena was having a hard time keeping up with him

"Please, I-"

"I don't have shit to say to you right now."

She grabbed his arm to stop him and he pulled it back as if her touch had burned him

"Please just let me explain. There's so much more to the story than what you heard-"

"Like what? That fact that you've been screwing him for six months when you told me it was nothing?"

"Its not like that, I swear!" she

"What makes you think that I would believe anything that you tell me, you lying bitch!"

Her heart twisted painfully at his words, tears rushing to the surface

"Randy just hear her out."

She hadn't realized that Punk had followed her

"Why the fuck should I?" Randy spat in the Straight Edge Savior's direction

"There's more to it that you don't know." Phil told him honestly

"What and you do?" he accused, his blue eyes blazing with realization "Has everyone known that she's been fucking Jericho but me?"

Punk didn't have time to respond before a fist connected with his jaw, knocking his off his feet

"Randy!" Yelena objected, kneeling down next to Punk "That wasn't fucking called for. If you're going to be angry, be angry at me. Don't take it out on him!"

He looked like a possessed man, his face red, his eyes cold and calculating. This was the Randy she knew from television and frankly, he was scaring her

"Some fucking friend you are." he muttered towards Punk before stalking off down the hall

Yelena examined Punk, her tears still flowing and helped him up "Are you going to be okay?" she asked with a sniffle

"I've been hit harder." he told her, rubbing his sore jaw.

She couldn't keep her sobs from breaking through her chest and Punk folded her into his arms

"Now would be an appropriate time for your 'I told you so'" she muttered against his chest

"I'll save them for later." he told her, rubbing her back "Do me a favor and leave him be. He's riled up and tends to act on impulse when he's angry."

She nodded, heeding his warning "I'm really sorry about this Phil. This is all my fault. I never meant for you to get involved in any of this." she apologized

"It'll be fine kid. Just give him some time." he tried

"I think we both know that everything is not going to be fine. Not after this." she said with a watery smile

He offered her a small smile and she went on her way, the feeling if her body becoming numb sliding over her. She ran into Rosa on her way to her station, completely forgetting about the Diva until she say her tear stained face

"What happened?" Rosa asked her

"Randy knows." she told her

"Oh Yelena." Rosa said, throwing her arms around her

"Chris opened his big mouth and they got into this huge fight. I tried to talk to Randy but-" she said, breaking down before she could finish "He hates me."

"I'm so sorry." Rosa cooed

"What happened with you?" Yelena asked "What did Stephanie say?" she asked, desperate to change the subject before she lost it again

"Oh... They're sending me home."

Yelena pulled away, her eyes once again filling with tears "This is all my fault. Everything is my fault."

"Don't blame yourself. To be honest, I think I need this. Everything that happened with my ex has really taken a toll on me and Chris helped me realize that." Rosa told her "I think the time off will do me some good."

Yelena pulled her friend in for another hug, her heart breaking "You take care of yourself."

"You too. Call me if you need anything. Try to see if you can work things out with Randy."

Yelena nodded, even though she knew that there was no way to mend what was already broken. This was beyond fixable, but she foolishly wanted to hold on to hope.


She was just getting by. As they traveled from Manchester to France, France to Ireland, and from there to Germany, she wasn't sure how she was getting through it. It was as if she was in a catatonic state. All she could do was work, crawl into the comfort of whatever hotel rooms bed with a bottle of strong alcohol, drink until she had enough courage to leave Randy a few pitiful voicemail, and cry until she had no more tears left in her body.

Randy was doing an outstanding job of avoided her at all cost. She had ran into him completely by mistake and the look he gave her was enough to make her shrink into herself. She had scurried away, her chest constricting painfully.

She had ducked into the first bathroom she could find, leaning over the sink, trying to take deep breathes, but the harder she tried to control it, the harder it became. Her heart was beating uncontrollably now and she clutched at her chest

The sound of a toilet in one of the stalls flushing rang through the room and Nikki Bella appeared in the mirror behind her

"Yelena?" Nikki said, touching her shoulder lightly "Honey are you okay?" she asked, her brown eyes filled with concern

"I... Can't... I can't... Breathe." she managed to choke out, tears welling in her eyes

"Yelena look at me. Look at me." the Bella commanded

Yelena looked up

"You're having a panic attack. You have to calm down. Focus on me okay?"

She could only nod in response

The Bella took her hands in hers "Take a deep breathe and count your fingers slowly with me." she instructed

"One... Two... Three... Four..." she counted

By the time they got to eight, she could feel herself relaxing and she could breathe again, air flowing freely through her lungs and she welcomed it

"You okay?" Nikki asked

"Yes. Thank you." she said gratefully

"What happened?"

"I... Ran into Randy."

"Was he a dick to you?" the Bella asked, rolling her eyes

"No he didn't say anything but... The way he looked at me. I've never seen so much hatred in anyone before."

Nikki sent her an apologetic look, obviously not knowing what to say

"I'm sorry. I'm just a mess." Yelena laughed grimly at herself

"Its okay. You've been through a lot these past few days. If you ever want company or someone to talk t, you're more than welcome to hang with Brie and I. We could be your temporary friends until Rosa comes back."

"Thank you." Yelena said gratefully

The Bella twin patted her shoulder before exiting the bathroom, leaving the photographer to her thoughts

Yelena cleaned herself up as best as she could. She couldn't hide out in the bathroom all night, she had a job to do. She took a few deep breathes, staring at her reflection, feeling the familiar numbing sensation taking. She was grateful for it and hoped that it would stick around for the remainder of this tour. The less she felt, the better off she was.


March 18, 2013 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

She had never been so happy to be back in the States. The last few days in Europe had been lonely without her best friend there to comfort her and as much as she liked the Bella twins, she felt weird hanging around Nikki without thinking that she was keeping tabs on her to tell John and John reporting to Randy.

Raw kicked off without a hitch, backstage still buzzing after the drama of Randy and Chris's brawl over a certain photographer.

Yelena couldn't help but feel like lines had been divided with a few of her friends. Mike was obviously steering clear of her. Wade and Alicia seemed distant. Hell, even Phil was acting weird around her. She couldn't blame them for driving away. They were Randy's friends before they were hers. It didn't take a genius to figure out where their loyalties lie.

Luckily AJ and Dolph didn't change up on her and Nikki and Brie made it their mission to hang with her whenever she seemed lonely.

She snapped a quick picture of John on his way to open the show, wearing his brand new yellow shirt

"No more Barney." she said with a small smile

"Nope." he said with a grin "What do you think? Give me your worst."

She playfully pondered on it "Ah! Big Bird." she laughed

He let out a chuckle "Big Bird it is." he agreed, throwing an arm around her shoulder "How are you holding up kid?" he asked lowly

Yelena dropped her gaze to her feet as they walked "I'm just trying to get through the days one step at a time." she told him honestly

"He's still pretty upset." John told her before she even had to ask

Yelena chewed her lip, reaching for the sunflower pendant against her chest, twisting it "He has the right to be."

They stopped at the curtain and John ruffled her hair "He'll talk when he's ready."

"Any idea when that might be?" she dared to ask

"Considering the situation, I wish I could tell you." John told her honestly

Yelena couldn't stop her shoulders from slumping in defeat. If John couldn't tell her, it was worse than she could imagine

"Keep your head up." John told her

She forced a smile and nodded. It was a wonder that Randy'sbest friend could still speak to her after all this mess and everyone else couldn't. In the end it went back to her feelings in the beginning: she was better off without them. She knew she shouldn't feel that way, but she did. She wondered where she would be if she was still the loner that she was.

His music played and he went through the curtain, leaving her to her work.

She had just come back from doing a ringside match when she felt a pair of hands cover her eyes

"Guess who!" Rosa sing songed

"What are you doing here? I thought they sent you home!" Yelena said, throwing her arms around the Diva

"They needed me for this last match with Primo and Epico. I wanted to surprise you."

"So you're back or..."

"Uh, no actually. I talked to Steph and told her that I needed some time off. I'm actually going to check myself into rehab." the Latina told her

"Wow... I had no idea that it was that bad." Yelena told her

"I didn't either, but them sending me home forced me to see the light. I need to do this. For me."

"I understand. I'm here for you, you know that." Yelena said hugging her. She couldn't help the tears threatening to still

"Stop it, you're going to get me started too!"

Yelena pulled away, wiping at her face "I stop, I promise. I'm just an emotional mess these days."

"Haven't heard from Randy yet?" Rosa asked with a frown

"No."

"He'll come around. You guys have to work together, he can't avoid you forever."

"I hope you're right."

Primo and Epico appeared, informing Rosa that it was time for their match against Team Hell No. Yelena snapped a picture for Instagram and Rosa informed her that she would catch up with her later.

A tech ran up to her and told her she was needed for a backstage segment and when she arrived, she fought the urge to roll her eyes when she saw Chris waiting for it to begin, scrolling through his phone. She tried her best to blend in the background as the promo began. It was her first time seeing him since Europe. Of course he had tried to call her numerous times and she ignored his attempts. She had nothing to say to him and after a few days, he got the hint.

The segment started with Chris talking about how he held the Intercontinental Championship more times than anyone else and tonight he has a chance to make it ten times. He says that WrestleMania is the night that everyone wants to make an impact and then Fandango walks up and interrupts him.

Yelena let out a snort. Fandango's character was amusing to her

Chris asks him if he has something to say and then says he didn't catch his name. Fandango repeated his name twice for him

"Fandumbo…Fandunghole… Fandjango" Chris tried, and several other variations that pissed Fandango off.

"You will learn to pronounce my name properly" Fandango threatened and then walked away. Y2J told him not to leave yet because he hasn't gotten his movie tickets.

Even though she couldn't stand Chris, she couldn't help the smirk on her face, the cheeky bastard. The man was like her own personal Two Face. After she got the shots she needed, she slipped away unnoticed.

She laid low for the rest of the show, watching Randy and Sheamus take on 3MB. The Shield of course, got evolved, but Big Show came down and made the save. She left with Rosa when it was over. They spent the night in her room, watching movies and ordering a bunch of junk from room service. They agreed that they would not talk about tomorrow until they got there, opting to enjoy their last night together.

It was bittersweet when they packed up their things, their drive to the airport quiet and when it was time to say goodbye, Rosa going to her gate that would take her to Tampa, they looked at each other sadly, both forcing back tears as they hugged

"Call me. I don't care what time it is anywhere else." Yelena told her

"You do the same. If you need anything at all."

They released each other and went their separate ways. In a way, it was the pair, going off and starting different chapters on their lives. Only Rosa was the only one going in on a positive note. Yelena, not so much.


Well there you have it. The start of Yelena's downward spiral begins. So I already have the next chapter finished and it will be posted in two weeks... or next week... depends on the number of reviews *bribe*. This story is slowly coming to a close people. I give it a rough 4-6 chapters and it's a wrap. I'm happy to announce that there is a sequel in the works. I'm trying to have that started after New Years.

Lets play a game of hangman shall we? On my page there is a link that will lead you to the clues to the title of the sequel on my polyvore page. See if you can decode the title and tell me your guesses in your reviews!
