A/N: I don't own anything WWE related. This is uploaded earlier than usual, but you guys wanted to see more :) I've written chapter 14 already and I'm halfway through chapter 15, yay! Lol.
I couldn't sleep, after kissing Colby my mind wouldn't let me rest. I told him to leave shortly after because I was tired, but i wish that he could've stayed. Nothing else happened between us, and I would feel worse if it did. It would be great if I had someone to cuddle with, I hate being lonely, I want to be in a relationship but my career is my main priority. Today, we were flying to Montreal, Canada and we had to be at the airport early. I guess sleep wasn't an option, so I might as well start my day right now. I got out of bed and started getting my clothes together, I unlocked my phone and saw that I had missed calls from Jon, Joe and Colby. I locked my phone and continued to pack away my belongings. I was too tired to associate myself with reality, and people. After I freshened up, I got dressed and put my hair in a high ponytail, it was growing back already. I dragged my suitcase and left the hotel room.
Tiredness crept over me as I stood staring at the flight times, I felt my eyes close and my body drift backwards before strong arms caught me. My eyes fluttered open, and the first thing I saw was warm brown eyes staring down at me. He steadied me and I blinked in confusion, I looked around me and realised that my suitcase was on the floor, I knelt down to pick it up and I felt dizzy.
"This is why I'm worried about you." He said in a quiet, yet stern voice. I shrugged and he took my hand and led me to the departure lounge. He sat me down and went to a nearby machine to get me a cup of water.
"Last night.." He said giving me the cup of water, I downed it in one gulp and it helped me focus on my surroundings.
"We don't have to talk about it." I said and in the distance, I saw Joe and Jon approaching the departure lounge and I refocused my attention on Colby.
"I don't regret it." He said as he readjusted his hat, I blushed and looked down. I could feel his stare on me and I looked at him again, I noticed that he licked his lips and that sent a shiver down my spine.
"Flight's leaving soon." Joe said as he sat next to me, and I could smell his alluring scent that just attracted me to him even more. I reached out to pick up my luggage, and I felt something rise in my stomach. I took a deep breath, hoping that I wouldn't have to throw up, but I was wrong. I leaped up and looked for the restroom, I ran and reached the restroom in record time. I heaved and flushed the toilet, my throat was burning and tears were stinging my eyes. I washed out my mouth and splashed some water over my face to cool me down, when I exited the restroom I was faced with worried looks on all three faces.
"Are you ok?" Colby said, pulling me into a tight hug. I looked over his shoulder and Jon and Joe both looked worried too.
"I'm fine, now let's catch this motherfucking flight." I said, and Colby held my hand as I walked as fast as I could to get away.
I sat next to Colby, and he kept looking at me like he was worried about me. Jon was being suspiciously quiet, and Joe was zoned out on his headphones. Me and Colby watched 'Avatar' until I finally fell asleep with his hand embracing mine.
After retrieving my luggage, Colby was like a lost puppy sticking by my side, worrying about me. I admit that being cared for is a nice feeling, I'm just too stubborn to say that out loud. I haven't even seen Alicia today, she's probably with her mystery man.
"I should take you to a doctor." He said, and I glared at him. I hate doctors, hospitals, they bring back memories. I shivered and he wrapped his arms around me and hugged me tight, I froze when I saw Joe and Jon approach us.
"Ah look, it's the lost little girl." Jon said and I frowned at him, I couldn't even speak because my throat was hurting.
"Don't talk to her like that." Joe said, and he glared and Jon. Jon rolled his eyes and walked off with his luggage. Something is obviously bothering him.
"I've never wanted to punch someone so hard." Colby said, and he tensed his jaw, he gripped my hand and we left the airport with Joe on our trail.
"You should sleep, we have a few hours until the show." Colby said as I crawled onto the bed and buried myself with sheets.
"I wanna cuddle." I said reaching out and pouting, he grinned at me and took his shoes and jacket off. I saw the outline of his abs and I found it difficult to look away, he got into bed next to me and wrapped his arms round me, his body fit perfectly next to mine and I found it hard not to blush at the thought. His hands traced my waistline, and I rested my head on his chest.
"Time to go!" A loud voice woke me up and I fluttered my eyes open, I sat up and rubbed my eyes then my vision became clear. I saw Joe standing at the foot of the bed and I cringed, I hopped out of bed and put on some shoes. I grabbed my bag and Colby took my hand as we left the room, apparently Joe was driving us to the arena, they obviously don't trust me with a car due to my age, but whatever.
When we got to the backstage area, Colby pulled me into a tight hug and kissed my forehead before we went our separate ways and I avoided eye contact with Joe at all costs. I searched around for Alicia, but I couldn't find her, so I headed straight to the locker room. When I opened the door, I saw Nikki Bella getting ready for her match that was before mine, I couldn't help but notice that she looked upset. I'm not one to gossip, but Alicia told me that Nikki's boyfriend, John Cena has commitment issues but she wants to get married. I put my bag on the bench and noticed her wiping her eyes even though there were visible tears running down her cheeks.
"Nikki, what's wrong?" I said, walking over to her and awkwardly patting her back.
"Just.. Go." She said turning around to face me, I was taken aback by the lines of mascara trailing down her face, but she wrapped her arms around me and hugged me. I hugged her back, and tried to calm her down.
"I just need a friend, you know? Most of the other divas pretend to be my friend, and I play along, but I need a real friend. My sister is on her honeymoon, so I have no one to talk to. John doesn't even want to talk to me." She said as I grabbed some tissue and wiped her tears away, she gave me a weak smile and looked down.
"I understand, I only have two friends here, but I'm happy to make it three, if you want.." I said, and she beamed at me.
"You're so sweet, I wish there were more girls like you here." She said, and hugged me again before getting up, and putting her hat on.
"Good luck, Nikki." I said and she high fived me before leaving the room. I grabbed my bag and took out my attire.
After I got my hair and makeup done, I went into catering in hopes of finding Alicia and I saw her sitting by herself in the corner. I was getting ready to cuss her for leaving me, but she looked upset already. I sat next to her and she embraced me in a hug, I looked at her and she was beaming up at me.
"I thought you were upset." I said and she smirked, I looked around the room and saw Joe and Colby staring at me, Colby waved at me and Joe nodded at me. Ok.
"I was testing your loyalty, I'm going on a date tonight, and no, I still can't tell you." She said and I pouted at her.
"I got the good good, the other day. I guess you don't wanna know who with.." I sighed and smirked at her. Her eyes grew wide and she gripped onto my arm, I smirked at her and looked at my nails.
"I knew that glow wasn't from the makeup! Who?!" I saw her eyes trail around until they rested on Joe, I shook my head and gave her a disgusted look.
"Don't you worry, but it won't happen again." I said and shrugged, getting up because my match was next. I waved her goodbye, and inconveniently, I had to walk past Jon and Colby to get out of catering. Awkward.
I leaned on the ropes as Natalya's theme song blasted through the speakers, and the crowd started booing. I smirked and watched her enter the ring, she smiled at me but I knew it wasn't genuine. As soon as the bell rang, I lunged at her and punched her in the face, she stepped back and stared at me with a shocked expression. She walked towards me, but I caught her arm and twisted it into a submission. As the referee made me let me go, she kicked me in my stomach and I fell to the floor with the impact. I was writhing in pain, and my stomach felt like it was on fire, but the crowd's momentum powered me through the pain. Natalya grabbed my legs and attempted to put me into submission, but I kicked her backwards, and stood up. She was kneeling down, so I ran to the ropes and executed a scissor kick.
"1 , 2 , 3" The referee held up my hand and the crowd erupted in cheers, I tried to blink back tears but they already started rolling down my face. I exited the ring, and walked around, high fiving fans and hugging girls that made posters for me.
"Great work baby." My heart skipped a beat as Colby picked me up and kissed my cheek, when he put me down, my head started spinning and I felt faint. I had to hold onto his hand to keep my balance.
"Joe, can you watch out for her? I'm gonna grab the bags." Colby said, and I looked at Joe and he nodded. As soon as Colby was out of sight, strong arms engulfed me and I couldn't breathe, so I patted him on the back to let him know that.
"I've missed you." He said when he pulled away, I tightened my ponytail and looked down, hoping that Colby will return as soon as possible.
"All set, let's go." Colby said, and I grinned at him, I grabbed his hand and heard the disapproving grunt from Joe behind us.
"Are you hungry?" Joe said turning to look at me, I ignored the burning feeling in my stomach and and shook my head.
"I'm alright, thank you." He nodded at me, and drove in a different direction. I closed my eyes and hummed along to my favourite song on the radio. I woke up suddenly when I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket, I unlocked it and saw that I had a message from Jessica.
'Hey, Cat. I got a call from your mother.. She wants to see you."My heart stopped beating, and I turned my phone off. She abandoned me when I was with Josh and I had no contact with her, I have nothing against her because she raised me when my real parents couldn't. I'm not ready yet. I didn't even notice that the car stopped, and I felt burning eyes on me, I looked up from the phone with tears blinding my eyes but I could still see the worried expression on Joe's face.
"Baby girl.." He said and I covered my eyes with my hands and my body started convulsing as I sobbed. I tried to be quiet because Colby was sleeping in the front seat, but I couldn't stop crying. I grabbed my bags and exited the car as fast as I could, I tried to blink the tears away but they kept streaming down my face. I miss her.
"Hey, hey. What's wrong?" Joe said, grabbing my hand. I didn't pull away, I just looked at the ground.
"I miss my mama." I said as he wrapped his arms around me in a tight hug, I embraced his warmth and leaned on his lower chest as he stroked my back.
"Everything will be ok, baby. I'm here." I sniffed and his alluring scent filled my nose, I didn't want him to let go of me. I stood on my tip toes and wrapped my arms around his neck to hug him, and it automatically made me feel better.
"That's embarrassing." I said as I pulled away and wiped away my tears, I looked up at him and he reached forward to stroke my cheek.
"Showing emotion is natural, don't be embarrassed baby girl." I shrugged and looked behind Joe, I saw Colby stirring around and waking up.
"Tell Colby that I'll be in my room." I nodded at him and rushed into the hotel. Thinking about my childhood just brought out the worst emotions in me, but i miss my mama so much.
As soon as I reached the room, I threw my bags down and headed straight to the shower. I took the longest shower to relieve the pain in my joints, and washed my hair, and scrubbed my makeup off. I got changed into my Star Wars shirt, and booty shorts with ugg boots then headed downstairs to find some food.
After I finished my meal, i was about to head back to the hotel room when Colby approached me in the lobby.
"Cat, do you know this guy?" He said in a stern voice, I looked behind him and my heart stopped beating, my mouth went dry and I felt like I was going to pass out. I didn't respond and Colby shrugged and started walking away as Josh got closer to me.
"No!" I screamed as he punched me in my face and pushed me on the floor, I heard yelling in the background but all I could feel was pain.
"You thought you could get away from me huh? You worthless bitch!" I heard, as more punches connected with my face and body. Then, the pain felt distant and I felt like I was being lifted up, my eyes were sore but I had to see what was going on. When I opened them, I saw Josh being tackled by police and Colby looked shocked. I didn't know who's shoulder I was on, but the scent was familiar.
It felt like my skin was stinging, and I woke up to see dark figures above me. I started screaming and kicking around, hoping that they would leave me alone.
"I can't believe that just happened.. I could've saved her, man. I didn't know that he was her ex." I heard Colby say, and my vision started to readjust.
"You're lucky that I got there in time. He could've killed her... I'm never gonna let that happen to her ever again." Joe said, and I blinked in confusion, I looked around me and saw blood on the sheets and my face was stinging.
"It hurts." I said sitting up, I looked up at them and a look of horror washed over their faces. I gave them a questioning look and Colby pointed 'down there'.
"Cat, you're bleeding.." I moved my shorts aside and saw ruby red blood staining my underwear.
