Chapter 4.

Breakdown.

Eve sat in her hotel room. She couldn't help but think about how miserable she was. Her entire career she had relied on and been with Michelle. Michelle had been a mentor, a partner, a friend and now she was gone. The harsh reality sunk in that Eve was never going to see her again.

Tears dropped down onto the bed she was sitting on. This wasn't like her, she hardly ever cried. She was a happy, friendly person not a depressed, moody one. She needed to get away but she couldn't, she couldn't escape. She had to go to work and wrestle that night. She had to put on a pretend face and mask her pain. Quite a few of the other raw roster had already moved on but the smackdown wrestlers hadn't. Eve thought she belonged with them, her true friends.

A knock on the door made her prick up. She wiped the tears from her face and forced an unconvincing smile. She looked in the mirror as she stood up and tried her best to wipe away the smudged mascara stains but was mostly unsuccessful. She ran her fingers through her hair quickly as she walked to door and took in a deep breath.

Opening the door she sighed as she saw who stood on the other side. Standing with a wide smile and strangely friendly eyes, he spoke.

"Hi, I came to apologize for last week. I thought I would give you some time to calm down," Cody said as he leaned against the door frame.

Eve's smile dropped and she held the door handle just about to close the door.

"Look Cody," she began in a rather harsh tone. "I know that you're trying to be nice but I'm kinda busy right now so..."

She began to shut the door but was stopped by his foot. She looked down seeing the object that was blocking her from ending the conversation. She was in no mood to talk to anyone, especially not him. Sighing again she re-opened the door to Cody's voice.

"Eve, I'm just trying to help. If you want to drown in your misery then that's fine but you're my friend..."

"Am I? Am I really? Funny that because I don't remember ever being your friend. Why would I even want to be your friend?" she snapped.

Cody's face was in a shocked state, he stood opened mouthed and speechless but Eve continued.

"You're pathetic, you and your little friend whatever his name is," she was really shouting loudly now. "You know all you ever do is follow Randy Orton around. Yes Randy, no Randy, three bags full Randy. Can't you do anything for yourself, why do you even need him? Don't ever speak to me, how dare you..."

She was stopped by him. In a similarly angry tone he interrupted.

"No, how dare you? You come to raw and upset everyone. No one likes you Eve, maybe Melina and Kelly but that's all. You know I don't know what I ever saw in you."

"Excuse me?"

"You heard. I actually liked you, I tried to be nice to you, I tried to give you space. I just thought you might need someone to talk to after Michelle..."

"You don't know me and you don't know Michelle, no one does." She screamed at him, not letting him finish his sentence.

She stamped on his foot in her high heeled stilettos, causing the young superstar to yelp in pain and remove his foot from wedging the door. Without a second thought, the brunette diva slammed the door as hard as she could nearly pulling it off its hinges. She sloped down against the door and erupted in to tears. She was sick of people like Cody Rhodes, she was sick of everybody on raw and she was sick of the WWE.

On the other side of the door, Cody remained in the same spot though he was balancing on one leg and holding his pierced foot in his hand. Looking down at his foot, he hadn't even noticed the man standing behind him.

"What did you say to her?" the man said.

Cody regained a standing position and turned to see a familiar enemy.

"Cena," he hissed.

Cena nodded. "Well I asked you a question." He had a slightly threatening tone to his voice.

"What's it to you? It's none of your business." Cody replied, standing up tall and trying his hardest to seem intimidating.

Eve was listening through the door and could feel Cody's fear in his voice. Fail, she thought as she pictured him trying to intimidate John. It even made her laugh a little.

"Leave her alone Rhodes. Say anything to her and you'll have me to answer to, understand?" John continued.

"Alright alright, I'll leave your little girlfriend alone." Cody said in a retreating manner with a hint of a sneer. He raised his hands in surrender and walked off down the hotel corridors to the elevator.

"She's not my girlfriend" Cena shouted after him.

"Yet." he added quietly to himself.

"She just hasn't been herself lately, I mean I can understand why. Her best friend just died after all." Melina said as she picked at her plate.

"Yeah she seems like a nice girl but it's almost like she's having a bit of a breakdown. I didn't see her all last week apart from at the live show," Ted Dibiase said, taking a sip from his water. "What about you Cody, you spoke to her didn't you?"

Cody shrugged moodily. He sat at the table with his arms crossed and an angry expression. He was sulking. How dare she speak to him like that? Who did she think she was?

"She seems like a moody bitch if you ask me!" he said in a husky voice. "She's not even hot, she's mildly warm."

"I thought you said she was the hottest girl you had ever seen?" Jack Swagger said smirked at the fact he had caught him out. "You're just upset she hates you, though I don't blame her."

"No I'm not," Cody snapped back. "Can we talk about something else?"

"Oh Cody," Ted rolled his eyes. "You are funny. Why does this always happen? Whenever you like someone they always reject you and then you get all miserable. It's highly amusing."

Swagger laughed out loud.

"It's so sad it's funny," he added to the conversation.

Cody was not amused. He slammed his fists on the table and got up.

"Well I'm glad I amuse you so much," he yelled and then marched off angrily, he slightly tripped over a piece of trash on the floor, causing the whole table of friends to laugh hysterically.

"Guys it's not very nice, I think he really likes her you know," Kelly said not joining in on the ridiculing of her friend.

"Oh come on Kels, he knows we don't mean anything by it. But he is a bit of a loner, I mean we are all in relationships and even Randy has a girlfriend and he's all lonely and single." Jack said to his girlfriend.

"Exactly," Kelly replied. "Think how left out he must feel. I mean I have you," she turned to Jack. "Ted has Melina and Randy has Mickie, but Cody's all alone."

"I have an idea," Melina said. "Why don't we set him up with Jillian?"

The whole table burst out laughing as images of Jillian singing at the pairs wedding flooded into their minds.

One person was not amused. He had sat there the whole time, listening to the conversation and staying out of it. He didn't want Cody to get with Eve, he didn't want Eve to be with anyone. He wanted her all for himself.

"Are you ok Masters, you've been awfully quiet this whole time?" Kelly asked, smiling at him.

Chris Masters sighed and then nodded.

"I'm fine."

Well there is chapter 4.
