Chapter 9

Kayla closed the door behind her, as she arrived at her little office. Shes was fed up. She didn't needed anyone especially not help. She was perfectly fine on her own.

Since she left Germany and moved into the USA she felt like she was running away form her past. As fast as she could. As far as she could. And Joe and Colby being so nice to her, for no reason- she just wasn't used to it anymore. It was a long time ago, when her ex boyfriend was being that nice towards her. She used to date him for about four years. Complete waste of time. 2 of them were absolutely perfect, 2 of them a disaster. Her own disaster. Something had happened to her ex-boyfriend which made him change completely and changed the way he acted. He started beating her. Not "just" a slap, he seriously injured her.

Since she had left her home country, she tried not to think about it too much. She just wanted to forget it all, no matter what. Nice try. With Jose, Colby and the other men around her, it didn't really worked out that well.

Kayla was still leaning against the door and sunk down, while she was crying. There was no one she could talk about. No one she could open up to. She was too scared to be judged. She never wanted to be one of those girls who stayed way too long with a a guy who was beating her. But in the end she was exactly one of those girls. Everyone would judge her for staying with him. She probably just deserved it. Being that stupid.

She sat against the door sobbing and hugging her knees pressed against her chest. What've become of her?

She felt sorry for what she said to Colby. He was just being nice even though she never really got why. Why her?

Colby sat at the table watching Kayla leave. He didn't get it. He never meant to hurt her or to domineer over her but he must've said something wrong. He felt sorry for whatever he did.

He stood up from the table and followed her. There was just one place she could go to. Her little office.

He went trough the hallway and finally reached her door. He was just about to knock, when he hard someone crying.

"That can't be her." he thought to himself.

Why is she crying?

He breathed in when he softly knocked on the door.

"Kayla? Are you alright"

Kayla, on the other side of the door jumped, because she got frightened by Colby's voice and whiped away her tears harshly.

"Oh, Colby. I-I'm good." she said trough the door, not really believing herself.

Please just go away, she thought.

"Thought I heard someone crying. Sure you're alright? Can I come in?"

Kayla quickly stood up.

"Um. Well, no. My-my room is a mess. You wouldn't see me either, covered in fabric." she said laughing awkwardly.

Colby wasn't convinced at all.

"Kayla, I'm serious. Can I come in?" he said with more insistence as he tried to upe the door but it was locked.

"The fuck Kayla! Open the door, I'm serious!"

She really doesn't want to see anybody.

"I'm sorry, Colby. But I have to finish some work." she said, still trough the door, hoping he would just leave her alone.

Colby was being quite annoyed now. He only wanted to help her and make sure she is okay. What's so hard about opening a door?

"Last Chance, Kayla. Can I come in?"

She breathed in.

"I'm sorry, no. I'm really busy, but thanks for checking on me. I'm fine."

He was really disappointed. He really thought they had a connection but he couldn't ready Kayla like any other girl he knew.

He left her door and Kayla alone and went into his hotel room.

He was just about to enter it, when he met Joe.

"What's up?" Joe asked.

Colby was thinking about telling Joe about what just happened. He felt like Joe needed to know.

"Not much. Just bumped into Kayla not long ago."

Joe chuckled.

"Man, this girl really seems to bump into people all the time."

Colby's face was still serious.

"I've talked to her and for some strange reason she ran way all of the sudden, like in the middle of our conversation. I then went after her and I heard her crying in her office. I wanted to come in to check on her but she locked the door. She kept saying she's ok and thet she has to work but I don't believe her. Joe, I'm not crazy. I heard her crying. I don't know, but something seems to bother her, she can't seem to talk about."

Joe's face went from smiling to straight withing seconds.

"What did you say to her?"

"Nothing. Just that she can talk to me about anything and she just said the didn't needed a babysitter. Never meant it that way, actually."

Joe went straight to Kayla, leaving Colby alone in the hallway.

Kayla was relieved that Colby just left. She couldn't handle anyone asking her any questions. It's hard enough to deal with her nightmares at night, she didn't needed her nightmares to come true. Again.

Kayla jumped when she heard a knock on the door.

"Kayla? It's me, Joe. Can I come in.?"

Oh no, not again!

"I'm busy, Joe. I'm sorr-"

"No, I'm serious. Let me in."

Joe sounded very serious.

"No matter what Colby said, it's not-"

"Let me be the judge."Joe interrupted her again.

Kayla was thinking back and forth, when she finally decided to let Joe in.

She unlocked the door and opened it when he looked straight into her puffy eyes.

Colby was right. She was crying.

He stepped into her perfectly clean office, and closed the door behind him.

"What's wrong?" he simply asked her.

Kayla looked away. She was too shy to look at him.

"Nothing."

"Look at me. Talk to me. What's been bothering you. Did Braun showed up?" Kayla shook her head no when she finally looked him in the eyes.

She was a mystery to him. A beautiful mystery.

He'd love to know what's been going on in her mind but she wouldn't let him in.

"Then what is it.?"

"I-I can't talk about it." she whispered.

He stepped forward when Kayla took a step back. When she realized what she did she felt even more ashamed than before.

"Kayla." he said softly. "What happened. Tell me. You can talk to me."

Tears fall down her cheek when she shook her head. He'd love to hug her and just hold her, tell her everything's going to be okay but he knew she wouldn't let him.

"It's just nothing, Joe. I swear."

"If it's nothing, then why are you crying?"

She just shrugged.

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

God, he is still being so nice to her. Just why? He has every reason to hate her for acting like a child now. But he is still being so nice.

She shook her head no. Nothing he could help her with. It was her own fight.

He knew it was hopeless. She wouldn't talk to him. No matter what.

"I'm sorry for whatever happened to you. I hope you'll find the strength to talk about it. No one would judge you, no matter what it is."

If you'd only knew. You'd judge me anyway.

He stayed there for a few more second, just looking at Kayla who was still crying when he turned around and left. It was breaking his heart when he closed the door behind him, but there was nothing more he could do. The best thing he could do was to get ready for his match at raw, to distract himself at least for a few hours.
