"Petey, I need to talk to her. I'm using your room, since she doesn't want to be in hers right now."

"How the fuck….." Daniels whispered.

"He has his sources" I mused, as my bedroom door shut softly.

------------

NORMAL P O V

-------------

I sat there on Petey's bed in Sterling's arms and cried into his shoulder. It seemed like we were in there for ages, and I probably needed it. I gained some of my composure back and looked up with his with a weak smile.

"I still don't know how it is you always get me out. I was dead set about staying in there this time."

"I have my ways Hellcat." He said with a smile that would scare most people and small children, but was oddly comforting to me.

"Don't take this wrong or anything…" He said "But why the fuck do you care about that piece of shit so much? I don't know exactly what he did to you, but I know it wasn't good, since you left for two years. And if someone hurt me like that, I wouldn't be crying, I would be kicking their ass. Which, I hear you had a few of the boys do at your little coming back party." He said, same smile played across his lips at the thought of Andy's vampire loving ass being beaten.

"I.. I honestly don't know. It just hurts" I shrugged "A part of me, it does want to tear him to pieces. But part of me, still thinks of him as the friend that I had back then. I… I'm just confused." I finished, laying my head back down on his shoulder.

"I know something that will make you feel better, but that will have to wait till tomorrow." He said, a mischievous smile replacing the eerie one. "But for now, you've got a room full of people out there worried sick about you. Especially Petey, he was digging his nails into his neck so hard he was bleeding. I think you owe it to them to say that your gonna be okay. And Daniels needs to take you to training with AJ. So come on."

I nodded slowly and wiped the last of my tears from my eyes. I stood up to leave when Sterling spoke again

"Um… Hellcat, is there a reason you are in Petey's clothes?" He said, sick smile growing larger.

"You're a dirty perv" I shot at him with the same weak smile before leaving the room.

--------------

TRAINING WITH AJ AND DANIELS, 1 HOUR LATER

--------------

"Is it Sunday yet?" I asked for the millionth time since Daniels had brought me to training with him and AJ.

"Little excited?" AJ asked with a smile as he held Daniels back from bashing me over the head in annoyance.

"I'm just… yah excited covers it." I said with a sweet smile to Daniels. "Come on Angel Bear, you can't hate me!" I laughed.

"You make it easier and easier everyday." He said while rolling his eyes and then doing some more crunches.

I sat on the bench press and watched two of my closest friends work them selves ragged. It was kind of fun.

"So, how is it I am going to be debuting?" I asked, bored with the silence.

"The match will go for about 10 minutes, and then Gail is going to trip me up." AJ started to explain, putting the dumbbells he was using back on the rack. "then Harris is gonna rough me up some while James gets the handcuffs from Gail. That's when your gonna run out. Wait, you can run right?" He asked eying my brace that was clearly visible since I wore shorts.

"Tech…." I started to explain before I was interrupted by a voice behind me.

"Running down that ramp will be a piece of cake for her, after she's been running through my mind all day."

I turned to see Chris Harris in his work out clothes standing with his arms crossed with a playful smile spread wide across his face.

"Kitty cat!" I screamed and jumped up to give him a hug.

"Your in trouble mister!" I said pushing him away from me after about 30 seconds.

"Me? What did I do?" He asked, smile fading

"Is there a reason you weren't at the club last night mister?" I asked crossing my arms, trying as hard as I could not to smile.

"I didn't want to get my ass kicked! I heard you two got Vampire boy pretty good." Chris said with a smile to AJ and Chris

"Hey Hey Hey! Don't try and change the subject mister!" I said, poking him in the chest before letting my hand fall " I guess… you just don't love me enough." I said, sticking my bottom lip out and looking up at him with puppy dog eyes.

"Oh….. Your evil." He said with a smirk "Fine, how can a make it up to you?"

"Lunch!" I said quickly my plan falling together all to nicely. "These two are pretty boring." I said, shooting them a smile.

"That's true……" Chris said, before ducking to avoid the towel AJ had thrown at him.

"But, as boring as they are, they are probably hungry too." I said, shooting Chris another set of puppy dog eyes.

"How is it that whenever your in town my wallet ends up empty?" Chris asked, crossing his arms

"Its cause you love me" I said before grabbing my sweatshirt. "Come on, I'm hungry."

I took Chris by the arm and led him out the doorway, and yelled "Meet us outside in 10 boys" To AJ and Daniels, who just rolled their eyes and headed back towards the locker room.

"Hang on Kitty cat, I got to ask Larry something" I said, stopping Harris outside of Zbyszko's office.

"Okay I'll meet you at the car." He said, taking off down the hallway

I raised my hand to knock, but the door opened before I could. Luckily I got back quick enough to not get hit with the door. Its what I saw inside that almost knocked the wind out of me. Andy.

"Well… this isn't like you traveling without a posse." Andy smirked taking a step closer to me and closing the door behind him. I didn't back down.

"What the fuck happened to you?" I asked, Sterling's words running over and over again through my head.

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"I said what the fuck happened to you. What happened to the old Andy. The nice Andy who respected people and acted like a human being. The Andy that I used to want to spend every waking moment with. The Andy that took me to movies, and ate breakfast with me three times a week. The Andy that always let me use him as a shield when Petey was chasing after me. What happened to the Andy the let me fall asleep on his shoulder. Andy, what happened to you?"

Andy didn't answer. He just stood there glaring at me. I thought for a moment, I might have gotten through to him, I could have sworn I saw something in his eyes. But he didn't speak. We just stood there glaring at each other in the awkward silence.

"Nothing happened to me." He spat venomously.

"That's fucking bull shit . Your fucked up in the head and you know it." I said, but immediately regretted my words and Andy pushed me back into the wall. My head bounced off hard, and black edges started to form around my vision.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?" I heard Chase yell, before hearing the solid sound of fist on jaw. I heard footsteps, and more fighting, but my vision was to blurred to see what was happening. The black edges grew larger, until I lay there unconscious.

-------

"She'll be fine" I heard Sterling's voice say.

"Your gonna make your neck bleed again." Daniels pointed out.

"I don't give a fuck. I just want to go kill that sorry bastard!" Petey yelled, before I heard a door slam.

"Jesus Christ, you guys are loud." I whispered sitting up slightly in my bed.

"Hey ya Hell cat" Sterling said as he stood leaning against the wall next to my bed. "How you feeling?"

"Like my head got sat on my a sumo wrestler" I answered. "Who are those from?" I asked, eyeing the flowers next to my bed.

"Harris." Sterling smirked "The guy was almost in tears earlier, felt horrible for leaving you." Sterling chuckled before adding "Human compassion amuses me.". He just stood there after that, gazing off into a place, that I obviously couldn't see.

"You should see a doctor about that" I laughed, not taking my eyes of the dozen long stemmed rose that sat at my bedside. Wow, Chris really must have felt bad.

"You up for some company?" Sterling asked, coming back down to earth, and looking me in the eyes.

"Depends on who the company is" I said with a laugh.

"Half the god damn locker room. We are really pissing off the nursing staff. Especially Petey. They wouldn't tell us anything about how you were doing, I thought a few times he was about ready to punch somebody. Kind of funny really." Sterling smirked. "D'Amore actually came down, and yelled at everybody till he got some answers. Fun to watch, that vein in his neck gets fucking huge when he yells. I swore it was gonna pop. They had just come in a told us you just had a minor concussion, nothing serious. That's why Petey was pissed." Sterling paused as the words sunk in a little. "So you want me to let them in?"

"Why not" I sighed with a smile, and sat up a little more in my bed.

Sterling sighed as well, and walked over to the door. He opened it slightly, stuck his head out and said,

"She's awake."

He almost didn't get out of the way fast enough, before my room was flooded by Chris Harris, John Cena, Trish Stratus, AJ Styles, James Storm, and surprisingly Chase Stevens.

"Oh god Phili, I am so sorry." Chris Harris said, the first one to walk over to my bed, and bending down to give me a hug.

"Its okay Kitty cat, its not like I haven't been through worse." I said with a smile

"Kitty cat?" I heard James laugh. Surprisingly Chris ignored them.

"Are you sure your okay? You don't hate me?"

"Chris, I'm fine I promise" I said, trying to reassure him.

"Hey babe." I heard the sweet voice of Cena say.

"Hey sweetie." I said with a smile, before Cena bent down to give me a hug.

"You gonna be okay?" He asked

"Count on it" I answered with a smile.

It was then I noticed how nervous Chase looked, standing behind everyone, rubbing his hands together with his head down.

"Hey um, guys…" I started to say as Trish cleared her throat.

"And Trish" I said rolling my eyes "Can I have a minute alone with Chase?" I asked. Everyone nodded and headed out of my room. Sterling was the last one out and before he shut the door he made sure to pop his head back in and add

"Now, no sex you too."

I rolled my eyes and flipped him off, and Chase just stood back in the corner of the room.

"Hi." He said softly, still standing as far away from me as was possible.

"Hi" I smiled back.

"I um, I saw what you did back at the building" I said, beginning to twiddle my own thumbs. "Well technically, I heard what you did, I couldn't se very well at the time, but I just want to say thank you."

Chase nodded, and for the first time looked straight up at me, and I was able to see the tears forming in his eyes.

"I'm so sorry. I don't know what the fuck has gotten into him." Chase said, only letting one tear fall.

"Chase come here." I said, choking back the lump that had formed in my throat, seeing this man who was one of the most fearless you will ever meet, reduced to this in front of me. Chase came right to my bedside, and I hugged him. I hugged him as closely as I could, because I needed it too.

"I am so sorry" He whispered in my ear, as we clung to each other.

"Chase, Chase look at me. I said putting him at shoulders length from me. "This is not your fault. Any of it. You have absolutely nothing to be sorry for. If you hadn't showed up, it could have been worse."

Chase nodded and hugged me again.

----------

"I cant believe I wasn't there when you woke up" Petey grumbled angrily as we were on our way back to the apartment.

"Technically you were, you just didn't know I was awake before you screamed and ran out." I smiled, adjusting my seat a little bit.

Petey glared at me for a second before shaking his head and smiling as well.

--------------

"Hellcat wake up" I heard Sterling's voice from behind Petey's door. I turned over in the bed to see Petey was already awake and out of bed.

"HELLCAT!" Sterling's voice came louder as he knocked harder.

"Hey retard, its unlocked" I heard Petey's amused voice say. I pulled the covers up over my head as Sterling came bouncing into the room and jumped on the bed.

"Come on, come on get up." He said, smiling….. Like a normal person.

"Who are you and what have you done with Sterling?" I asked seriously, head peeking out slightly from the mass of blankets.

"Ha ha very funny now come on, remember we've got a date today!" Sterling said his normal person smile being replaced by his mischievous one.

"Why am I scared for my life at the moment?" I asked jokingly

"I don't know, maybe your paranoid. You should see a doctor about that." Sterling laughed.

------

"Where the hell are you taking me? I asked as we continued to drive around Florida

"Jeez, you're an impatient one!" Sterling said with a laugh, before taking a left into a parking lot.

"Fine you want to know where we're going?" He asked, putting the car in park

"Yes please!" I sad sitting up in anticipation.

"here" He said flatly, handing me a piece of paper that was folded up.

I unfolded it quickly and looked down at it with my jaw wide open.

"I…I don't know what to say… did, did you draw this?" I asked looking down at the beautiful drawing of a rose, with "Hell cat" written in the middle.

Sterling smiled and nodded. "Its about time I got a new tattoo anyway" He shrugged

I looked at him my eyes wide

"Your… getting this tattooed? Like, as in permanently on your body? Forever?"

"That's a tattoo.." Sterling said with a smile.

I reached over as best I could in the car, and hugged Sterling's neck as tight as I could.

"I'll only let you get this on one condition." I said when I finally pulled away.

"And that would be?" Sterling asked with an amused look on his face.

"I'm getting one too." I said with a smile.

Sterling smiled and nodded, and took off towards the tattoo shop.

--------------

"Wow Sterling, that looks amazing!" I said, admiring the finished tattoo on the inside of his arm.

"Jamie always does the best work" Sterling said clapping the tattoo artist on the shoulder.

"I figure the better job I do, the more times he will come back and let me inflict more pain and suffering on him." Jamie said with a wicked smile.

"How's your back feeling?" He asked.

"Like someone just stuck a needle in it for an hour and a half." I shrugged as Sterling pulled his shirt back on over his head.

Sterling then stood up and reached into his back pocket and fished out his wallet.

"How much do I owe yah?" He asked

"450 for the two." Jamie said, cleaning up his station.

"Sterling, you don't have to pay for mine, I can get it." I said, grabbing his wrist before he could give the money to Jamie.

"Hey, I'm not taking any girl out on a date and letting her pay." He said with a smile, before Jamie grabbed the money.

I sighed as Sterling put his arm around me and led me out of the tattoo shop.

----

From there we headed over to the nearest mall to get something to eat. This surprised me, I didn't really see Sterling as a mall type person. But I didn't object because I was hungry.

We sat and talked about random stuff while eating our lunch, and Sterling even had a few people come up and ask for autographs. I was surprised how good he was with the little kids. To most people he gives off this intimidating vibe, but deep down he really was a sweet heart. I watched him as he took a picture with a little boy who couldn't have been more than 6 years old, and saw something in him, that I had never seen before.

-------

"What's wrong?" Sterling asked, as we walked down the main strip in the mall that was surprisingly empty.

"Its nothing I shrugged" Shoving my hands down in my pocket.

"Your thinking about what happened with Andy yesterday." Sterling said more as a statement then as a question.

I nodded.

"Come on." Sterling said, jerking his head towards the long empty hall way leading to the bathrooms.

I followed after and leaned up against the wall, Sterling doing the same beside me.

"I don't think I have ever seen him that mad. Ever." I sighed.

"I called him out, but I never expected him to hit me."

There was a long pause before Sterling just shrugged

"So what he's a dick."

I smiled a little bit and then said "Yah, that's true, its just, now him and Chase are mad at each other, Petey's worried sick, Daniels is about ready to tear somebody to pieces, you had to drive all the way out here to get me out of the god damn bathroom, I just… I'm just thinking maybe I shouldn't have come back." I said, feeling a weight lifter from my shoulders.

Sterling turned so he was standing right in front of me.

"Don't say that." H said flatly

"Why, what one good thing came out of me coming back?" I asked looking him dead in the eyes.

"This." He said, before lowering his head, and kissing me. At first I was shocked, but I didn't fight it off.

"I…. Um…. Wow." I said when he finally pulled away.

"I.. I'm sorry I shouldn't have.." Sterling started to say, before I pulled his head back towards me and kissed him again. My knees began to feel like rubber and would have fallen beneath me if I didn't still have a hold of his neck.

When he finally pulled away we both just kind of looked at each other for a minute.

"Wow" We both said in unison, causing both of us to laugh.

"So um, what does this mean?" I asked, hands still wrapped around his neck.

"What do you want it to mean?" He asked, moving his arms down so he was holding me around my waist.

"What do you want it to mean?" I asked back with a smile, before kissing him again.

------------

PETEY'S P O V.

-------------

"Remind me to never go shopping with you again." Alex Shelley groaned as we walked through the nearly empty mall.

"But then what would I used to torture you?" I asked

Alex glared at me while I just laughed.

"Hang on Alex, I got to go to the bathroom. I'll meet you at the car." i said, heading down the hallway.

Nothing could have prepared me for what I saw. Absolutely nothing in this world can prepare you for that pain

I stood there, watching as Sterling and Adri held each other close. I felt the lump in my throat form, and the knot and my stomach only grew tighter when she kissed him. She kissed him. Not the other way around. But he didn't fight it. I turned on my heel and walked out towards the parking lot.

"That was quick." Shelley said when I opened and slammed the car door.

"Shut the fuck up."

----

Hella long Chappy eh? Sorry it took so long, I broke my rib lol. So I have been passed out from some mighty strong pain killers. So this was originally two chappys, but I made it one. Hope you like it. I promise I wont be evil to Petey forever and ever.
