FFW TO NEXT EVENING

I was walking through the backstage area, looking for someone to talk to, or at least Randy to snuggle up to. I didn't feel safe on my own and I was paranoid to the point where I was constantly looking over my shoulder. I eventually found the Diva's changing room, but it was empty, I walked over to the mirror to check my make-up and to see if I did look ok in what I was wearing, or if it was just Randy trying to make me hurry up. I was wearing my pair of light blue super skinny jeans, my white ribbed grandad top with my pink leopard print heels – I looked better than I expected, I looked at my make-up and decided I needed more mascara. I placed my ditsy print frame bag on the table next to the mirror and began searching for my make-up bag. When I had done my make-up, I began my search for Randy.

Randy's P.O.V

I was sat in my changing room waiting for my segment call when Syd walked in; she flung her bag on the floor by mine, before looking towards me,

"Hey babe" I said, as she plonked herself down next to me on the sofa, "You okay?"

"Hey, yeah I'm ok; just a bit nervous about tonight" she replied, playing with a stray piece of cotton on her top, "I've not even seen what I'm wearing yet"

"Well, when can you find out?" I asked,

"Whenever I want..." Syd replied, "I'm just not sure if I wanna see it"

I was about to speak, when a stage hand popped his head through the door, "Mr. Orton"

"Call me Randy, seriously, Mr. Orton's my dad" I replied, beginning to laugh,

"You're segments up next" the stage hand said, before leaving the room,

"I think I intimidate them" I said, turning towards Syd, "What you think?"

"You do more than intimidate them Randy, you scare them shitless" Syd replied, laughing, "I joke, I joke"

"Hahaha" I said, sarcastically, "You're so funny my sides are splitting!"

"I know" Syd replied, smiling at me, "Now go on, before you miss your segment"

"Ok, ok... stay in here, I don't want you wandering off and getting lost with Maryse still being sour" I said, getting up from the sofa and kissing Syd,

"Ok, ok" she replied, as if I was nagging her,

"Promise?" I said, walking towards the door and turning to face her,

"Promise" she replied, smiling at me as I left the room.

I walked towards where Cena was standing with the camera men, while Josh Matthews began the segment,

"Thank you Michael Cole, I'm here with John Cena. Urhh John..." Josh began, "Tonight you're against a long time rival Randy Orton, what's your game plan for tonight's match?"

"Well Josh, it's quite simple..." John began, in a serious tone, "I gotta stay focused, if I let my mind slip for a second he could capitalise... but then again, if he slipped up, I could capitalise!" John continued, "What the hell to a game plan, imma go out there and do what I do every other week, imma fight my heart out for those fans out there... and I will win, coz the Champ is..."

"HERE!" I said, interrupting Cena mid sentence, Cena stood there with his hands on his hips shaking his head, "Now Josh, I'm going to tell you what I'm going to do..." I began, "I'm going to win this match at all costs! How you ask, well you'll just have to wait and see..."

I stared down John as we got nose to nose,

"And at Over the Limit, as this one says, the champ will be here!" I said, pointing to myself, as our stare down continued,

"And, we're off boys, that was great" Drew the camera man said smiling at us both as we knuckle touched, "I'll see ya'll later" he said, as we walked off,

"Hows Syd doing?" Cena asked, as we walked towards the locker rooms,

"She's ok, a bit nervous about tonight, but she's ok" I replied, "Dave spoke to Maryse, all she's doing now is giving Syd dirty looks"

"Give 'em back" Cena said, "That's what I say"

"Hmmm" I said, as we reached my locker room, "Anyway, I'll see you later"

"Later dude" Cena replied, walking down the hallway towards his locker room,

I walked into the locker room to find Syd sitting in the corner of the room, with her back facing me,

"Syd?" I said, becoming concerned, "Syd... babe!" I continued, walking towards her and kneeling down next to her, "Syd babe, what's happened?" I asked, rubbing her lower back,

"They wouldn't stop, they just kept kicking and punching" she said, not looking at me,

"Who Syd?" I asked, becoming even more concerned, "Look at me Sydney!" I finished, pulling her face towards me, making her look at me, my jaw dropped at the state of Syd's face, her nose was bloodied and her lip split,

"No don't, Randy it... AHH!" she screamed, as I tried to pull her close, she grabbed her rib cage, "I thought I got away from this treatment years ago" she said, trying to catch her breath, "It was like Greg was back, for a split second I thought I saw him"

"Syd" I began, "Where does it hurt?"

"Everywhere" she cried, "Make the hurting stop Randy, make it stop"

"I will Syd, I will" I replied, picking her up bridal style and carrying her outside into the hallway, I began to run to the trainer's room, as I reached the door Syd began to moan in pain again, I kicked the door open, "Mike! Mike help!" I finished placing Syd down on the bed,

"What's happened Randy?" Mike the trainer asked,

"I dunno, I walked into my locker room to find her with her back to the door in the corner of the room" I started, "I found her like this"

"Do you know who did it?" Mike asked, examining Sydney's ribs as she screamed in pain,

"Get dad!" she screamed, grabbing my t-shirt, "If you love me you'll get my dad!"

I walked out of the room quickly and pulled the closest stage hand over, "Find Dave, tell him to get to the trainer's room now, its urgent!" the stage hand nodded and began to jog off as I turned and walked back into the trainer's room,

"She has a couple of bruised ribs, but nothing serious, the nose bleed will pass if she keeps the bridge of her nose pinched" Mike began, "and I'm just going to stitch her lip now"

"Ok, thanks Mike" I said, sitting down next to Sydney and holding her hand as she stared at me with worried eyes, "We're gunna sort this, me and Dave, we'll sort this" I finished, kissing her hand,

FFW TO BEFORE LAST MATCH

Sydney's P.O.V

What happened earlier has pushed me to want to make it in this business; I can take the shit they give me in and out of the ring. I was being prepped for the distraction I was going to cause in the last match between Randy and John. The costume team decided to give me more of a summery look by dressing me in a red floral bust dress with a pair of black strap wedges – they accessorised me with a black diamante rose ring, square diamante drop earrings and a heart pendant necklace. The make-up team had covered me up so well you couldn't see the cut or the stitches in my lip, I was thankful Mike had used stitch thread that was the same colour as my lip, they'd done my hair so it hanged down in loose curls around my neck and down my back.

I was walking back towards Randy's locker room, when I was stopped by Cody. I'd put what happened at Dave's house behind me, considering the fact that Cody had actually began to be nice to me and apologised for his attitude that night – I was still cautious about him and kept my guard up, like I did with everyone, but I was giving him the chance he deserved,

"Hey, I heard about what happened earlier..." he began, "If you need someone to talk to, I'm here"

"Okay, thanks Cody" I replied, "I gotta go" I finished, walking off quickly trying to catch Randy.

As I reached his locker room, he was just leaving to stand behind the curtain,

"Woooow... Look at you!" Randy said, as I approached him, "You'll have to be careful, otherwise I might just get distracted by you" Randy continued, pulling me close and kissing me softly,

"Aahh!" I said, as Randy pulled away, "Be gentle!"

"I'm being as gentle as I can, considering the way your dressed" he said, winking at me, I sighed and walked around him and waited by the curtain, "What?"

"You're being a pig!" I said,

"What? How am I being a pig?" Randy asked, sounding pissed,

"You're acting like the Randy Orton on the TV, not the Randy Orton I met!" I said, looking at the monitor on the wall,

"What?" he said again, "I'm not even acting piggish!"

"Yes you are Randy! The way you hit on me then as if I was a ring rat you wanted to bed then leave the next morning!" I spat back,

"You know what I'm not having this conversation here!" Randy snapped back, beginning to walk away, "I was trying to be nice and compliment you, but you know what fucking forget it! I won't bother again!"

"Yeah coz this is the Randy I want! One that walks away from his problems instead of resolving them!" I shouted to him down the hall, "Coz you're not tryna act cool in front of your work mates!"

"I'm walking away coz if I stand there and listen to the bullshit coming out of your mouth any longer I'm gunna end up whacking you one!" Randy shouted back, as tears began to fall from my eyes, Randy turned around wide eyed, as if he'd realised what he'd said,

"You'd hit me?" I said, slipping down the wall to the floor, "After what I've just been through... After what I told you about my fucking past!"

"Syd!... I didn't..." Randy said, trying to explain,

"YOU'D HIT ME?" I screamed at him, "AFTER YOU TOLD ME YOU'D PROTECT ME!"

"Syd..." Randy began,

"Orton you're entering first" the tech guy said, "I suggest you get to the gorilla position"

"Fuck!" Randy said, beginning to walk away as I sat and dabbed my eyes, to stop the tears smudging my make-up, I looked at the monitor and watched as my so called boyfriend entered onto the ramp with a smug expression plastered on his face. I scoffed, before getting up,

"Hey Syd!" Cena said, walking up to me, "What's up? You look upset"

"It's Randy... he's just pissing me off!" I replied,

"I'll knock some sense into him when I'm out there" he finished, hugging me, before walking towards the gorilla position, I looked up to the monitor on the way, watching as Cena entered and flashed daggers and Randy, Randy just responded with his trade mark smirk. I watched as the match began, waiting for when I had to enter...

FFW TO NEAR THE END OF THE MATCH

"Sydney... you need to go through in a minute" a tech guy said, approaching me, "Take your place at the gorilla position"

I walked over to behind the curtain and waited for the call telling me to run down to the ring,

"Ok... now" the tech guy said, as I jogged out onto the ramp, taking a quick glance at the fans before continuing to run down the ramp,

"And Cole... who's this pretty young lady coming down to the ring?" King said, down the headset,

"I haven't a clue king... but I think she's on Orton's side..." Cole said,

"Cena!" I shouted as I reached the ring apron and grabbed John's foot, making him turn to look at me, "Don't hurt him!" I said, climbing the stairs and walking towards the section of the apron that Cena was stood by, I stood in front of him pushing my bust out as Randy pushed himself up behind him, I turned around and watched how Cena looked me up and down on the TitanTron as Randy approached him in the background,

"Phewww! Look at this!" Cena shouted, smiling at the crowd, before looking back at me,

"Ooh I see now..." Cole said, down the headset, "she's here as the distraction!"

"And it's working Cole... I'm distracted!" King laughed, "Cena you better turn around before Orton strikes"

Randy stood behind Cena as I jumped off the ring apron, and turned to look at Cena,

"What? Don't you like this?" Cena asked, flexing his biceps, I laughed and pointed behind him before smirking, Cena turned around and was met with an RKO from Randy,

"WOOAH! RKO!" Cole shouted, down the headset,

"That distraction really works!" King said, in amazement, "He's going for the pin..."

"1...2...3" the ref said, slamming his hand down on the mat, before pointing towards the announcer to ring the bell, as the bell rung I jumped in joy,

"Well, it looks like this mystery girl is on Orton's side" Cole said,

"Poor Cena... he didn't know what hit him!" King said,

I climbed into the ring and ran over to Randy who was sat in the corner, I kneeled down beside him smiling and patting his chest, as he pulled himself up I held his hand above our heads while he smirked, "WOOH!" I shouted, "This is the real deal!" I continued, hugging him, "The Champ is HERE!" I finished, patting his 6 pack, before Randy opened the ropes for me to climb out, I walked across the ring apron and down the steps waiting for Randy, as he reached me he took my hand and led us up the ramp, "This is the real deal! Come Over the Limit, this is your new champion!" I shouted, as Randy draped his arm over my shoulder and smirked at the lifeless Cena in the ring.

"Well... I wonder if we'll be seeing more of her" King said, down the headset,

"It wouldn't surprise me" Cole replied,

As we reached backstage, I let go of Randy's arm and walked off towards the locker room. As I reached Randy's locker room, I walked over to my bag and picked it up, noticing a note stuck to it,

Hope you enjoyed the little visit from before! Sorry petal, but it had to be done!

3 ?

I ripped the note up and crumpled it into a ball in my hand,

"Fuck sake, my day couldn't get any worse!" I said to myself,

"What's up?" I heard Randy say, as I turned to see him sit down on the chair as his body glistened, God he doesn't make this easy! I gave him the silent treatment, grabbed my bag and walked out of the room,
