A/N: ok, this chapter contains a lot of change, so I hope you're ready for it. I think I know where I want this story to go, stay tuned. Don't kill me in the reviews please lol. X_x

As soon as we arrived at the hotel in Virginia, I threw my luggage down and hopped straight into bed. After staying with Joe for a week, I was tired as hell and needed a nap. Apart from the occasional hugs, nothing else happened between me and Joe. Since he asked me that question, everything has been on my mind. I don't know who I want, and I realised that I'm hurting feelings by saying one thing to someone and something else to another. I've been caught in a love foursome, and it's not good. I need time to think everything over, but at this moment, all I need is sleep.

Loud knocks at the door woke me up, and i groaned as pain expanded from my stomach to my thighs. I think I need to see a doctor. I put some shoes on and crawled to the bathroom, I washed my face and tied my hair back. I grabbed my bag and went to open the door, I gasped as I saw Jon in my line of vision, I don't even know why, everything shook me up after I took naps.

"Princess." He said gesturing for me to hug him, but I felt my eyes closing as sleep consumed me once again.

"Ugh, not again." I said rubbing my eyes, as he carried me to the lobby. I sighed as he sat me in a chair, and I stretched out my arms.

"You practically fell into my arms." He said smirking, even in my tired state I managed to award him with my death stare.

"It was an accident." I said, folding my arms in defence. Little to no sleep always turned me into an incredible bitch, I advise people to stay clear by looking at them.

"Hey." Joe said as he approached us, Colby just nodded at me and he looked pissed. I nodded and stood up, I decided to take my own rental car to avoid the awkwardness. As I drove to the arena, I received a message from Alicia.

'Please tell me it's not true. We need to talk.' - Alicia

My heartbeat accelerated as I parked the car, and headed to the backstage area. I noticed people looking at me and I was curious about what was being said. I went into catering and all eyes were on me, my breath hitched as Eva Marie stood up and started clapping in my face.

"Bravo, bitch. Bravo." She said and I looked around in confusion, I saw Jon avoiding eye contact and I realised what was going on.

"You thought you could sleep with my man, and get away with it. No." She raised her hand and slapped my face. My face was stinging and tears were building up, I was angry but I didn't have enough energy to fight back.

"Now everyone knows you're a hoe, so go back to where you came from. No one wants you here." She said pushing me backwards, the impact caused me to fall backwards and I heard laughs from the people who were watching, which was the whole roster. As I stood up, tears fell down my face as I looked at the people who I thought were my friends, I thought wrong.

"Princess, wait-" I heard Jon behind me as I walked out of the arena, I didn't stop until he grabbed my hand to turn me around.

"Don't touch me! You just sat there while she embarrassed me. Leave me alone." I said looking around for the rental car, in the background I heard more voices but I was too scared to turn around.

"I'm sorry, I had to tell her." He said, as I nervously looked for the car keys, I felt a firm hand on my shoulder and I looked up and saw Joe with a worried expression on his face.

"Just leave me alone. I hate-" I said and I looked at Jon before I said the last word, I was so angry with myself.

"You don't mean that." Jon said, staring into my eyes and reaching out to me. I shrugged him off and unlocked the car, I shut the door and started the engine, I ignored the knocks on the window and drove away. I had no idea where I was going, but it had to be somewhere far away from here. My phone was constantly ringing, as soon as I get away from here I needed to call Stephanie McMahon about taking a break, or ending my contract. I didn't want to go back anytime soon, this is exactly what I didn't want to happen. I turned off my phone and gripped the steering wheel, the only place I could go is Pensacola.

I bought a plane ticket to Florida and I was waiting for the announcement to board the plane, I took my phone out of my bag and decided to see if anyone was brave enough to contact me. I had 30 missed calls combined, and text messages that I couldn't be bothered to answer.

* a few hours later *

When I arrived in Florida, anxiety took over me. Once again, I didn't think anything through and I was left with the decision of where the hell I was going to stay. I had enough money to stay at a hotel, but I can't live in a hotel for months. I didn't want to bother Jessica, or put my mama through any extra stress, so I guess I have to stay in a hotel.

I put my bags down and sat on the bed, I guess this is how I'm going to live for the next few months. I would have to get a job, and make sure that I don't see Josh because I know that the next time I see him, it would probably be fatal. Everything was moving so fast, and if I looked back to a few months ago I would've never thought that I would be here. I've been blessed with opportunities and I've messed up everything, maybe this isn't right for me.

I looked at the alarm clock, and it was 3am, but i wasn't tired at all. I decided to keep busy and let my mind rest, so I unpacked my clothes and did a few exercises to distract myself. After half an hour, I was still wide awake so I decided to go out.

"Hey, miss. Wait up." I turned around and a young man with a bunch of flyers ran up to me.

"I think you're the perfect candidate." He said handing me a flyer, I looked at it and it was an advertisement for a job at the strip club.

"Do I look like a stripper to you?" I said, looking at the young man properly for the first time, he was actually cute.

"I've seen you on TV.. And um.. I think you're cute. Look, I'm not saying you're a whore, but you have the figure for it." He said looking me up and down, my facial expression remained neutral. I should've walked away when I had the chance.

"Before you say anything, look at the monthly pay." He said pointing to the last paragraph, my eyes widened and I looked at him to see if it was a hoax or not.

"I knew you would like that. Let me know if you're interested." He said, and I looked at him curiously, there had to be a catch.

"Aren't you too young to be the owner of a club?" I said, and he smirked at me.

"I'm 23, but success comes from any age. My brother owns the club. I'm Brandon." He said holding out his hand, I shook his hand and nodded at him.

"I should be going back, see you around." I said before turning around, he caught up with me and we walked in a comfortable silence. When we got back to the hotel, he smiled at me and I was in awe of his beauty.

"See you around, Catalina." He said, kissing my cheek before leaving me alone. This is the most eventful night of my life.

By time I freshened up and got into bed, it was 5am and I was desperate for sleep. I still haven't checked my phone, and I'm not gonna front like I wasn't scared to check it. Tomorrow, I needed to phone Stephanie and ask about taking a break from the company. I needed to make a living while I was here so, later on I'm going to see what jobs are available in the strip club.

I woke up at 5pm and the first thing I needed to do was call Stephanie and explain everything to her, I doubt she wants me in the company after Eva exposed me.

It took me an hour to get ready because I had no idea what to wear to a damn strip club, so I settled for a plain figure hugging dress with black platform shoes. I curled my hair in small sections so it looked like it had more volume, and I put on neutral makeup so it didn't look like I was trying too hard.

I followed the instructions, and I finally made it to the club. I was nervous because this is not the kind of environment I'm familiar with.

Loud music blared from the speakers as dancers effortlessly moved around the pole, I was taken aback by how comfortable they were with random men putting money in their underwear. The overall atmosphere wasn't scary, but it was different.

"I knew you wouldn't be able to resist." A voice next to me sounded, and I jumped in shock as Brandon appeared next to me.

"I was just.. Looking. I need a job, I don't think I can be a dancer but I know how to make drinks and stuff." I shrugged, and he grinned at me.

"Well, you're a beginner, so we will start you off by making drinks. Is that ok?" He looked at me for reassurance, and I nodded because I didn't know what to say.

"Hey, girl!" A girl with a southern accent sounded across from me, I looked up at her and I was stunned. She had a blonde wig on with a full fringe, caramel skin and the cutest dimples.

"I'm Candy, you must be Catalina. Brandon hasn't stopped talking about you, good things of course." She said, and reached over the counter to hug me. I can see why she was called candy, she was sweet.

"That's good. I'm so nervous though, what If I become.." I said pointing to the stage where the same girl was dancing like she had unlimited energy.

"I'll show you the ropes, no need to worry boo boo." She said pinching my cheek and looking over the menu.

"Can you make me a 'Sex On The Beach' please, babe?" She asked grinning at me, and I burst out laughing.

We were talking about random stuff and our personalities didn't clash at all, but she made me miss Alicia and Sasha because they were very similar.

"I've seen you on TV girl, and I recognise this guy who goes by the name of 'Dean Ambrose' he's a regular customer when he's in town." She said downing another glass of my creation, I froze and put my cup down.

"Sometimes he's with that big Samoan guy, but he looks disgusted every time he comes here.. I think he's hot though. And Jon, well.. he's a smooth talker. In public." She said, and I saw the light blush on her face.

"Well, wow. I don't know what to say." I said, and crushed some more ice, hoping that she would change the subject.

"I saw the advertisement at the arena, they will be back next month." She said, and I gawped at her.

"Girl, chill. I know you hooked up with Jon too, your face is priceless." She said as I poured a shot of vodka in a glass.

"It's not something I'm proud of, but I'm not sure if I regret it." I said downing the shot and embracing the warmth it gave to my body. I miss having someone to cuddle with at night, which is the downfall of being back home.

"I don't regret it, but it seems like you caught feelings." She raised her eyebrow at me and I folded my arms in defence.

"I don't have feelings for him, and I don't want to talk about him anymore." I said, and my mood just lowered as memories of yesterday still haunted me.

"Girl got it bad, follow me." She said taking my hand and leading me to one of the back rooms. She handed me a tank top and shorts, with knee high socks. We ended up in a bright white room with poles everywhere, and surround speakers.

"To get your mind off of..him, I want to teach you how to pole dance." She said taking off her jacket and walking over to the CD player.

"You sure you haven't done this before?" Candy said as I twisted my body around the pole, I guess the training gave me a lot of self strength.

"Nope, but it's fun." I said, loosening my grip and sliding into the side splits. Candy started jumping up and down, clapping.

"Girl, you a natural, and you got booty for days." She said as I stood up, in awe of what I just did.

"Thanks, it's real." I said, winking at her. She climbed on a pole and shifted her body so that she was hanging upside down like Spider-Man.

"Oh, hell no." I said backing away, that's a bit too much.

- 1 month later. -

"Here you go," I said handing a guy one of my specialised drinks, and he licked his lips before leaving the bar. As I worked here now, I had to dress like one of the exotic dancers and if one of the girls couldn't make it, I would have to take their place.

"Cat, we're up!" Candy said, jumping up and down like an excited puppy. I took off the apron, and felt self conscious as I walked onto the stage with Candy. I was wearing a matching blonde wig, and my barely there outfit matched Candy's too. As the song hit, me and Candy synchronised our moves and hopped on the pole. I've learnt so much in a month, and I found it fun as well as being a workout. I couldn't see the audience, but I saw dollar notes flying on the stage, a few men hollered for us to come over to them but I was scared.

I followed Candy into the dark audience, and watched as she straddled a man while he put dollar bills in her bra, she nodded at me and I guess I had to do the same. I couldn't see anyone, but I knew where the seats were so I turned around and sat on a strangers lap. I started gyrating my hips on the strangers lap, and I felt him putting dollars in my rhinestone panties.

"Show me your face." I heard above the loud music, I turned around and all I could see was darkness. It was scary, because I don't know who I'm sitting on.

"Princess?" I heard loud and clear as the music stopped, I hopped off his lap and headed backstage as quick as I could. My heartbeat was on fire, and I felt like I was going to be sick.

OH HELL NO, CATALINA WHAT ARE YOU DOING? stay tuned, and don't forget to leave your feedback :) IM REALLY SCARED TO READ THE REVIEWS AFTER THIS CHAPTER LMAO.
