A/N: I don't own anything WWE related, I just own the characters I created. I really like writing this story and I hope you guys enjoy reading this. Thank you for the reviews and follows, I really appreciate it. I'm still trying to figure out who to ship Catalina with, ugh my feels. Enjoy!
"I..I don't know." I saw the look of hurt in Jon's eyes and I felt like crap, how could I let Colby kiss me like that?
I followed Jon down the hallway and I could feel the anger radiating from his body.
"Just go, Catalina. You don't want to see me lose my temper." I stopped and took a deep breath. I ran my hands through my hair and blinked the tears away.
A diva that I haven't spoken to much, Naomi approached me as I sat by myself in catering.
"Hi, Catalina. I kinda saw what happened with you and Colby.. Are you okay?" I gave her a slight smile and she sat across from me.
"I'm fine thank you." I said but it was obvious she didn't believe me.
"Girl, I know we aren't the best of friends but you can tell me anything. Is there something going on between you and Colby?" She held my gaze and I could immediately see that I could trust her.
"No, it's weird. I have these weird feelings, but I think it's because I'm lonely. I miss the comfort of being in a relationship, I guess." The realisation hit me like a ton of bricks, I don't miss Josh at all, I just miss being with someone.
"I understand, I used to feel that way.. I could talk to him for you." She said and I felt my cheeks heat up.
"Thanks for the offer, but i would rather sort everything out myself. I feel like I've messed up everything." I covered my eyes as the tears started falling. I immediately felt her warm embrace, and that only made me cry harder.
My appetite disappeared and all I wanted to do was go to the hotel and sleep. I grabbed my bag from the locker room and attempted to exit the arena without seeing anyone, unfortunately the three guys were getting their stuff together too.
"Hey, Catalina. We're gonna head back to the hotel. I'll take you back too." Joe said. I mentally rolled my eyes and followed them to the car. The car ride was silent except for Joe trying to make conversation. I was sitting in between Colby and Jon which was even more awkward, obviously Jon was still mad at me.
"Thanks.." I said and hurried to the elevator, I felt something touch my hand but I ignored it.
"I'm sorry about earlier." Jon said before the elevator doors closed. I rushed to my room because I didn't feel like talking to anyone at the moment.
I had a shower and washed my hair, revealing the naturally wavy texture. I changed into some comfortable clothes and hopped into the comfortable hotel bed.
I know I'm not crazy, I heard numerous knocks at the door throughout the night. If it was any of the guys, I didn't feel like speaking to them. Tomorrow we had a day off, and I didn't plan on moving from this bed.
"Cat, The shield guys are asking for you." Isabella gestured to the door and my heart started pounding.
"I don't want to talk to them." Isabella mocked my facial expression and sat next to me.
"Cat, you got all three of them wrapped around your finger, which one do you like the most?" I blushed and thought about it, I liked Joe first and he made me realise how unstable my relationship was.
"It doesn't matter; it would never work out anyway." I shrugged and she gave me a knowing look.
"The sexy Samoan, huh?" I cringed at how well she could read me, maybe I should Jedi mind trick her.
"What makes you think that.." I said, finding it impossible to not blush.
"He really cares about you, Catalina. I know he has a girlfriend which makes the situation difficult.. But, you never know what could happen in the future." She gave me a comforting hug, before she got into her own bed.
I couldn't sleep; I couldn't stop thinking of Joe. It was really easy for me to catch feelings and every time I saw him, those feelings got stronger. I didn't want to be known as a girl who was responsible for a breakup, that's horrible. Maybe if I spent some time away from him, and everyone else, I could clear my mind.
I didn't sleep at all, my mind was too alert. I've made the decision to go back to Florida and continue my training for a few months, I think it would be best for me to improve my in ring skills and get away from everyone for a while too.
I called Stephanie McMahon and she also thinks it would be best for me to train for a while so it would be quicker for me to make my debut. Isabella was in a deep sleep and I didn't want to disturb her, so I left her a note with my number.
I quietly dragged my bags out of the room, and I heard talking in the hallway so i went the opposite way. The guys were in the lobby, just my luck. I looked around and there were no other exits, crap.
"Catalina, where are you going?" Joe's voice scared the crap out of me, and I didn't realise they were right in front of me.
"Im going back to Florida, to train for a few months." I reached into my pocket and found a scrunched up piece of paper.
"Here's my number, for emergencies or anything.." I blushed when I realised I sounded like his personal booty call. Iwouldn't mind.. Look at his fine..
"You can't go." Jon's voice broke the silence, and I didn't want to face the hurt look on their faces.
"I second that." Colby said and his intense brown eyes softened.
"I have to, I want to be better. I'll see you guys soon." I shrugged and they all gave me breathtaking hugs. I blinked away the tears and gave them an awkward wave.
As soon as I landed, I realised that I had no home. I used to live with Josh, but things have obviously changed now. I remembered where Jessica lived; hopefully she would let me stay with her.
I parked the rental car outside of her house and it looked like she was home.
I rang the door bell and a million thoughts ran through my mind. What if she turned me away? I haven't spoken to her since before I left and I didn't even tell her that me and Isabella got signed to developmental.
"Catalina, where the fuck have you been?!" She opened her arms and I jumped into them. A benefit of being short is that you can literally jump on anyone.
"Me and Isabella got signed to WWE developmental, we have been travelling with them. I'm back for a few months to improve my skills." I said as I put my bags down.
"I've missed you, work has been such a drag, and I haven't seen that guy you like around the gym either."
"Um, he actually works in WWE, so I see him everyday.." I trailed off and she beamed at me.
"Girl, get it." She said in a serious voice, making me laugh.
We sat watching TV, and I felt this sudden tension in the room.
"What happened, Jess?" I said and she sighed, running her hands through her hair.
"I saw Josh the other day, he has a new girlfriend." I felt a wave of nausea, and I felt the same betrayal I experienced when I saw the hoe in our bed.
"Good for him." A part of me missed the caring side of Josh, then he ruined everything the first time he hit me.
"I didn't want to bring it up, but since you're back, I had to.."
"You're just being a good friend." I said, and I went upstairs to unpack my stuff. I kept checking my phone, I had no missed calls from the guys, maybe they wouldn't miss me after all.
In the evening, Jessica took me out to dinner at this new place that just opened in town. Today felt weird, I was used to spending most of my time with my work colleagues and the guys.
"Um, Cat.." Jessica gave me a look and gestured over my shoulder. I looked behind me and my heart dropped. I saw Josh and a pretty blonde girl on a date, so friends don't hold hands across the table. Ok. Then I remembered what Jessica told me earlier and i felt physically sick.
"Whatever, I'm not gonna let him ruin my night." I faced Jessica and she gave me a reassuring smile. I took a long sip of wine and immediately relaxed. When I looked at Josh, I couldn't help but notice how good he looked. He always looked good, but damn. His wavy black hair was cut, his skin looked smooth, his hazel eyes were as piercing as ever.. I can't let attraction blind me again.
"He's looking over here." Jessica looked down; I shrugged and took another sip of wine, which heightened my confidence. I felt like Clark Kent transforming into Superman.
"Let him look, just look at that blonde hoe he is with.." I burst out laughing at my own joke, and the wine was making me feel a little tipsy.
"I think we should go." Jessica paid the bill and helped me up, she put her arm around my waist as we walked towards the exit. I wasn't even that drunk.
"Catalina.." I recognised Josh's voice and the effects of the alcohol vanished. I looked at him for about 5 seconds before Jess pulled me towards the exit. If looks could kill, he would be dust.
I couldn't stop smiling as Jessica drove us home, that was the second time I've stood up to Josh, and it felt damn good.
Later on, I lay in bed with my phone clutched to my chest. My phone beeped a few times and it was a message.
'Is this Catalina? - Joe' my heartbeat accelerated as I read the message for the 10th time.
'Yes, I wouldn't give you a fake number. Lol.'I sent the message and stared at the screen, waiting for his reply.
"Im gonna call you, I want to hear your voice."Normally, I would think he sounds like a damn serial killer, but its Joe...
The phone started ringing and I took a deep breath before answering.
"Hey, Catalina." His sexy ass voice was music to my ears.
"Hi, you okay?" I asked, wondering why he wanted to talk to me.
"I just wanted to hear your voice." He said and my heartbeat increased even more, I felt like I just ran a marathon.
"Talk to me." His voice boomed down the phone and I didn't know what to say.
"Um, I got back to Florida today and I saw Josh with some hoe and I basically showed him what he was missing out on." I said in a ramble.
"As long as you are safe, baby girl. I miss you, the guys miss you too. It's not the same." He said and I melted, my cheeks were hurting from the amount of smiling I was doing, if I look like the joker tomorrow, he's the reason.
"I'm fine, I miss you guys too.." I sighed and changed the channel on the TV.
"Crap, Maria wants to video chat. I'll ring you back." I didn't even know her name before, but whatever.
"Ok, whatever. I'm going to sleep, night." I heard him sigh on the other line, why am I being difficult now?
"Cat-" I hung up and threw my phone on the floor. That lucky bitch gets to see his beautiful face.
I woke up and immediately checked my phone and I had 6 missed calls from Joe. I turned off my phone and freshened up before getting dressed. Today, I was gonna work out for a few hours before heading to the training centre.
Last night put me in an extremely bad mood and I just wanted to take out my anger on the gym equipment. As I picked up the weights, the image of Colby went through my mind as I remembered when he helped me with my workout. My whole perspective changed when he kissed me, it's not like I didn't want to be kissed but he did it right in front of Jon's face which made me feel like crap. I genuinely feel confused with my feelings; my loneliness had got the best of me.
I chugged down some water after pressing the stop button on the treadmill. Usually I would die after 1 minute on the treadmill, but I've just done 25 minutes and I feel good.
"Catalina, it's nice to see you." I froze as I recognised that voice.
"Fuck off." I walked past him but he gripped my wrist, and painful memories came back to me.
"There's the feisty girl I fell for, why have you been avoiding me?" I removed his grip from my wrist and gave him a death stare.
"Excuse me? I don't want anything to do with you, you broke me, physically and mentally and i hate you for that. Stop following me around and get a life. Go back to your fake bitch and leave me the fuck alone. I hate you." There was so much venom in my voice that I was taken aback too. I walked past him and left the damn place.
"Catalina, you're doing great." My coach said as I body slammed Victoria, who was another girl in developmental. I was full of energy and momentum, and I climbed up on the top rope. I channelled my inner Jeff Hardy as I jumped and landed safely on Victoria.
"Holy fuck!" Victoria said and gave me a high five; I beamed and did a few cartwheels in celebration.
Throughout the day, I met some of the other superstars and divas in developmental. My favourites were Paige, Bayley, and Sami Zayn.
As I got out of Bayley's death grip, that she calls a hug, they gave me their numbers and we agreed to meet here tomorrow for training.
As soon as I got home, I ran to my phone to find more missed calls from Joe. I was about to turn off my phone when it started ringing again.
"Pick up the damn phone, damn." Joe said in frustration, he must've thought it went to voicemail.
"I'm here." I heard him sigh, the smallest actions he does..
"Ok, I'm going out to dinner with Maria tonight." My heart dropped, why was he telling me this?
"Good for you." I said, about to end the call.
"Wait, don't hang up. I'm thinking of breaking up with her tonight.." Wait, what?
