There were three sets of eyes on me as we stood in the ring. Colby was staring at me to see what I thought about the whole thing and Lara and Marek were also eying me because of the conversations we had had minutes earlier. I didn't really understand what the big deal was and while the whole class was silent. I knew it was awkward because of all the media and dirt sheet attention that they had because of the nude selfies but I didn't understand why Colby, Lara and Marek thought that it would affect me.

The whole class was just standing there awkwardly, a few of the guys that had no idea what was going on had picked up that both trainers and Lara were staring at me. So to defuse the tension I stepped forward towards Zahra and held out my hand. "Hi, I'm Georgia."

Marek's Point Of View

I couldn't help but smile at how well Georgia had handled that situation, she was a strong one. But Colby on the other hand, I needed to know what the hell he was doing. Not only had he been incredibly unprofessional since meeting Georgia he had shown more interest in Black & Brave by turning up at least once a week since the third week of this lot of classes. The minute everyone started leaving after the class was finished I pretty much pushed Colby in to the office to find out what the hell he was trying to pull.

"What's up?" Colby says as I close the office door and turn around to look at him with a sour look on my face. These last few weeks I had got to know Georgia and I had enjoyed spending time with her. She was a nice girl and she'd had a tough time with everything that was going on in her life. The last thing I wanted to see was Colby ruin the couple of good things she had going in her life like her wrestling career.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" I ask him angrily.

"Uh what?"

"Don't fucking play dumb Colby what the hell is wrong with you? First you kiss Georgia and now you're bringing Zahra to work?" I hadn't even mentioned the fact that Colby had lied to Georgia when he said that we take one student from every class to Chicago to an indy show.

"What's wrong with me bringing Zahra? You've never had a problem before this." Colby looks shocked that I've flipped my shit at him. The truth is I care about all my students but I care about Georgia a little more. She's putting her life on the line to be here. Sure she could stay at home and raise her twins but would she be happy as she could be? No, that's why she's here and I want her to achieve everything that wants.

"You've never brought her to a class Colby! None of us have seen her since the photos came out! Were you trying to make Georgia jealous?" I accuse.

"Georgia made it quite clear the other day that she isn't interested, so I'm moving on. Don't beat around the bush Marek, tell me how you feel!" Colby is starting to get angry now. He's crossed his arms over his chest.

"I think you're being unprofessional!" I raise my voice.

"How? How am I being unprofessional?" He shouts back at me and I roll my eyes.

"Do you want me to write a fucking list Colby? The photo you posted on twitter, inviting her to Chicago, telling her that we do that for a student from every class, kissing her! I know she's beautiful but when you did all that shit you had a girlfriend and some chick on the side!"

Georgia's Point Of View

As I walked out of the change room after getting changed and ready to go home I spotted Zahra sitting on the edge of the ring looking a bit sorry for herself. I frowned and decided to go and see if everything was alright but stopped in my tracks when I heard yelling coming from the office. "Do you want me to write a fucking list Colby? The photo you posted on twitter, inviting her to Chicago, telling her that we do that for a student from every class, kissing her! I know she's beautiful but when you did all that shit you had a girlfriend and some chick on the side!" My eyes widened at the revelation and glance at Zahra who obviously didn't know half of those things that Marek had just listed and of course being 'the chick on the side' wasn't exactly a compliment.

I bit the bullet and walked over to her and dropped my bag on the floor and sat next to her on the side of the ring with her. "Hey." She smiled awkwardly.

"Hi." I reply just as awkwardly as her. When I signed up for Black & Brave I never ever for one second thought that I would ever be sat on the apron of a wrestling ring with Zahra Schreiber listening to Black & Brave yell at each other about me.

"So…"

"This is kinda awkward." I said with a sigh.

Zahra laughed loudly. "Yeah it is."

We sat there awkwardly and listened to Colby and Marek yell at each other. The office door opened and they both walked out and stopped in their tracks when they saw Zahra and I sitting on the side of the ring together. Colby looked incredibly guilty. I'm not even sure what I was waiting for to be honest, I could have just dismissed all those things that Marek had listed and gone home and ignored Zahra. But the way she was sat on the ring listening to the argument made me feel sorry for her. I didn't know the full story and I didn't really want to know but I felt bad for her.

Colby looked from me to Zahra, it looked like he was having trouble with who he thought he should address first. He hadn't exactly defended Zahra when Marek called her the chick on the side. I glance at Zahra and decided that I would get going so Colby didn't have to choose. "It was nice meeting you Zahra." I smile kindly at her and she returns my smile.

"You too Georgia."

I walked past Colby and Marek after grabbing my bag. "Bye guys." I say casually and leave the gym. It's not like I wasn't upset about hearing all that stuff, especially about the fact that Colby lied to me about the Chicago thing but I decided that I didn't need to get angry. I'd just ignore it and concentrate on getting through the rest of the classes and then I wouldn't have to deal with it anymore.

When I got home I sighed as I dropped my bag by the door and walked all the way up to the kitchen and opened the liquor cabinet and pulled out a large bottle of wine and grabbed a glass and plopped on to the couch and switched on the TV. Just my luck there was a replay of RAW. I rolled my eyes and changed the channel, I was over wrestling for the night so I poured myself an extra large glass of wine and tried to relax.

"Georgia!" I looked up to see Sophia standing behind the couch looking at the wine bottle on the coffee table and the extra large glass of wine that I had in my hand mid sip.

"Oh hi Sophia."

"Did you have a bad night?" She frowns.

"Yeah it's been a bad week if I'm honest." Right now I'm missing Declan, because if he was here none of this would have happened. But now it's time to talk to Sophia about what's been happening.

"Tell me what's going on." She says as she walks around and sits next to me on the couch.

"It's a long story. But basically Colby kissed me on Sunday when he was leaving." I didn't know if Sophia was going to be ready for this. I watched her curiously after I had told her that Colby had kissed me and she looked a little shocked but not angry. I don't even know why I thought she would be angry, if I chose to move on I knew she would accept it, I just wasn't ready to accept it yet. "And when you went to get groceries on Friday he came to see why I didn't go to training on Thursday. I yelled at him told him that I was here to train and not for some whirlwind romance." I smiled softly when Sophia snorted. "Tonight the shit hit the fan when I told Marek what happened. Do you remember me telling you ages ago that Seth Rollins had trouble with the media because of those nude pictures?" I ask.

"Oh yes, I never thought a mother in law and a daughter in law would look at nude pictures together." She giggled and I snorted and took another sip of my drink. If things ever went back to normal and Colby ever came over to see the kids again I might have to lock Sophia in the closet so she didn't mention that.

"Yeah well the girl that he posted pictures of is called Zahra and he brought her in to training tonight. Marek was angry at him for kissing me or something I'm not sure but they had an argument and he called Zahra his chick on the side. He pretty much yelled the gym down and let out that Colby lied to me when he asked me to go to Chicago with me. Colby told me that he and Marek take one student from every class to Chicago." Once I had finished telling Sophia what had happened I watched her carefully to try and figure out what she thought.

"Georgia, I know you will always love my son. I know that you want to succeed in this business. But you have to do something for yourself darling. I know you're lonely and I know you're scared. But Colby is good to you. I know he lied and I know you're upset but think about the opportunity he gave you when he took you there. He's done nothing but good things for you since you met him." She paused for a moment and reached over to take my hand and squeezed it gently. "I can tell he likes you sweetie…" She pauses again and stands up from the couch. "Go get ready for bed; I have something for you to read." She says and walks off to her bedroom.

I finish the last little bit of my wine and do as I'm told and walk to my room and get in to my pajamas and sit on my bed while I wait for Sophia to come back. I think about the things that she's just said to me. I was lonely; I just hadn't really admitted that to myself yet. But she had given me a lot to think about, Colby had done a stupid thing when he kissed me but he had given me an amazing opportunity when he took me to that show in Chicago. "Read this darling, I'll see you in the morning." Sophia hands me an envelope and kisses my cheek and leaves the room.

I immediately notice the handwriting on the envelope as Declan's. My heart starts to beat really fast and I get nervous. I take a deep breath and open the sealed envelope.

Hey baby. If you're reading this then I'm gone. I wonder how you're coping without me, I bet you miss me. I think I'd be missing you too. I decided to write this to you so you could know how I felt about everything after I was gone. There are a few letters like this that I gave to Ma.

I know you love me, I know you love me with every part of your being but one day when you're positive that you're definitely not ready to move on you're gonna be ready. If ma thought it was time to give you this letter then you've probably just downed half a bottle of whiskey because you're confused an upset.

I just want you to know that I know that you'll always love me but you deserve to be as happy as you can be and I know that there is a man out there that can make you as happy as you made me. Don't shut him out baby, I know you miss me and I know you're probably thinking about the babies more than yourself but please my dying wish was for you to be happy. You remember that? I know the twins will make you happy, I know ma will make you happy but there will always be that spot in that big heart of yours that is empty because you don't have the companionship we once had.

I bet this guy is wrestler ha-ha. I bet he's being a bit pushy, have you punched him yet? Do you remember how pushy I was with you? Remember the first thing I said to you. 'I have cancer, will you hug me?' you thought I was crazy. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me Georgia Caroline. Let him in baby, I will always be the father of our children but I babies will need a father figure eventually. You wouldn't have let someone in enough to make you scull half a bottle of whiskey if he weren't amazing with the kids. I know he'll treat you like a princess, I know he'll be amazing to our kids and I know that you will eventually love him as much as you love me.

You deserve this baby. You've spent the last three to four years loving me and looking after me. Let someone love and look after you.

I will always love you Georgia.

Declan X

By the time I had finished reading the words written on the paper I was a blubbering mess. He was so organized and knew just what to say to make me question every single word that I had ever said to Colby. Maybe he was right; maybe I should let him in.
