Hello! I know what I said at the end of chapter 3, but I couldn't wait any longer! I love this story too much to just abandon it because of lack of reviews... though reviews are greatly appreciated. :)

Anywho, this chapter will hopefully end the suspense from the last chapter. I bet many of you are dying to find out what happens. Well, now you will! :D

I own nothing related to WWE.

Anyways, please read & review! :D


Starting Over

Chapter Four

"Oscar? Are you alright? I'm sorry if I freaked you out."

Oscar shook his head in an attempt to get himself to focus on the conversation at hand. "Oh, it's fine," he said. "I guess I'm just shocked from what you went through. I'm so sorry that happened to you."

"Don't be sorry," replied Ellie with a small smile. "You did nothing wrong."

Oscar returned her smile. He was beginning to really admire the Colombian native. She was honest, nice, and she meant it when she had said that she was tough.

"Is there anything else I should know about you?" he joked.

"If you want to know… I only have four tattoos in total. The cross you already saw was the second one I got. The first one is a trail of hearts with letters in them starting on the back of my neck. The third one I got with my sister; it's the infinity symbol with the word sisters a part of it. That one's on the inside of my left wrist." Ellie pulled back the sleeve of her sweater to show him. It looked very simple, but it was very pretty.

"That's very nice. What's the last one?" asked Oscar.

Ellie fixed her sleeve and shrugged off a portion of the sweater off her right shoulder. There, the words Luchadora were written on top of her shoulder blade in handwriting.

"Luchadora… that means fighter."

"Female fighter," clarified Ellie. "It's in my sister's handwriting 'cause mine is terrible. I thought the word suited me perfectly. I've thought about getting another tattoo, but I'm still unsure about what I want. Then again, I can't even compare mine to yours." Ellie fixed her sweater again and smiled.

Oscar laughed. "Honestly, yours are beautiful on you. I do like them on you."

"Thanks, Oscar," said Ellie.

The two Superstars chatted for hours and hours that night, both enjoying each other's presences. Eventually, Ellie finally left for her hotel room close to midnight that night, having enjoyed the last minute visit. She went to sleep that night fully convinced that there was something between her and Oscar. What that thing was she wasn't sure just yet.


Ellie woke up quite late the next morning. She grabbed her phone and saw that it was ten o'clock in the morning. She also saw that she had a text from April. She opened it to read it.

Hey, please call me when you get this!

Ellie sat up and slipped on her black hoodie before dialling April's number. She picked up on the third ring.

"Hello."

"Hey, April," said Ellie, "what's up?"

"Ellie! I was worried about you. I tried waking you up by knocking on the door, but you never answered. Are you alright?" asked April.

"I'm fine," said Ellie with a laugh, "I just slept in, that's all. I was hanging out with Oscar last night 'til midnight."

"Oh," said April. "Well, you might wanna call Nattie and tell her. She's been freaking out."

"Is she with you now?" asked Ellie.

"Actually, she is," replied April. "Here, I'll put her on."

Ellie waited a few minutes before she heard the sound of someone else on the phone.

"Hello," said Ellie.

"Ellie! Are you okay? I tried calling you, but you didn't answer," said a frantic Natalie.

"My phone's on silent," said Ellie sheepishly. "I told you, I was with Oscar last night."

"I know," said Natalie, "I don't know, I guess I was worried about you. How was last night?"

"It was fun," said Ellie. "We just hung out and talked about anything and everything. We didn't discuss his divorce, if that's what you're wondering."

"Well, I wanted to talk to you about it… but not 'til later. I'd rather talk about it in person. I'll see you later, okay?"

"Sure," replied Ellie, "I'll talk to you soon."

"Bye," said Natalie.

"Bye," said Ellie, but it didn't matter- Natalie had already hung up.


Wednesday came faster than anyone had anticipated, and Ellie hadn't yet talked to Natalie. But that really wasn't on her mind; she was focused on her match that night against Milena Roucka on Main Event. Unfortunately, Milena, who hated Ellie, had intentionally botched the match by drop kicking Ellie's knee instead of her stomach like she was supposed to. Due to Ellie's bad knees, she could barely finish the match. Somehow, she managed to pin Milena with an improvised jackknife pin, much to Milena's anger. Ellie was rushed to the trainer's room immediately after the match. Oscar got word of her injury and made his way there.

"How bad is it?" Ellie asked the trainer, bracing herself for the worst.

The trainer looked over her left knee. "It's not all that bad," he replied, "though I will tell you that I think you need to rest for a few days. Check back with me on Monday, and I'll let you know if you can compete or not."

"Thank you," replied Ellie. The trainer left right as Oscar entered. Ellie sat up and smiled.

"Are you alright?" asked Oscar as he shut the door behind him.

"I'm fine," replied Ellie, "I only aggravated an old injury. I tore ACL and my MCL in both my knees a year and a half ago. I'm good now. I just need to have a talk with Milena 'cause she shouldn't have done that."

"I don't blame you," said Oscar. "I'm just happy to know that you're okay. I was worried about you."

Ellie blushed at the fact that Oscar was worried about her. She was touched that he cared about her. She sighed in an attempt to calm herself and pushed some of her brown hair behind her left ear.

"So, what are your plans now?" asked Oscar.

Ellie sighed again. "I'm not sure yet," she replied in all honesty, "I was thinking about having a low-key night. But I'd be more than happy to have some company." She smiled because she knew what Oscar wanted.

Now it was Oscar's turn to blush, except he was blushing out of embarrassment. "Am I that easy to read?"

"A little," replied Ellie with a laugh. "How 'bout we go to my room tonight?"

Oscar nodded. "I like that."

"Great!" said Ellie. "I'll see you later. I just need to get changed."

"Alright. Here, let me help you to the locker room," offered Oscar.

Ellie thought for a moment. She didn't really need the help; her knees were fine now. But the gesture was so kind, she knew she couldn't say no.

"I'd like that," she finally replied. "Thanks."

"You're welcome," said Oscar.

The two Latin Superstars walked towards the Divas' locker room. Ellie bid Oscar goodbye before slipping into the large room. Celeste was in the room as well, talking to someone on the phone. She noticed Ellie and waved before ending her phone call.

"You didn't have to end your phone call 'cause I'm here," said Ellie.

Celeste laughed. "Oh, no, it's fine," she replied. "I was talking to some telemarketer anyways."

Ellie nodded.

"Are you alright?" continued Celeste. "That was a nasty kick."

"I'm good," replied Ellie. "My knee hurts a little bit, but I'm okay."

"I'm glad," said Celeste. "What are your plans now?"

"Oscar and I are gonna hang out in my room."

The Houston native raised an eyebrow. "Oh? How come?" she asked.

Ellie shrugged. "No reason, really. We get along, so we hang out. Now that I said that out loud, it sounds really stupid. But then again, it's true." She gave her friend a small smile.

Celeste nodded and returned a similar smile. "That's fine. I only asked 'cause I'm nervous for Oscar. It's not that I don't trust you… I just… I don't know." Celeste bit her lip. She desperately hoped that she hadn't offended the newest Diva. Celeste- and every other Superstar and Diva- had kept a sharp eye on Oscar after the divorce, especially since he had confided to Randy a couple nights ago that he wanted to start dating again. It seemed as if Ellie was the only one oblivious to the obvious- Oscar was intrigued about her; and that was putting it mildly. But Ellie just nodded her head in response as the realization hit her.

"No, I understand," replied Ellie. "You have every right to be suspicious. But I'm not a gold digger, or a heartless bitch. I'm not divorced, but I've been hurt before, too… more than once. Besides, I'm not looking for a relationship right now."

"That's fine," said Celeste. "Just be prepared that lots of guys and girls- more guys than girls- will watch you like a hawk to make sure that you don't hurt him. I know you won't, but no one else does."

"They'll know eventually," said Ellie simply.

Celeste nodded once more before leaving the locker room. Ellie quickly showered and changed into white jeans, a light pink collared shirt, and white heels. She texted Oscar that she was on her way to meet him in the parking lot.

On her way there, she thought about everything that Celeste had told her. Ellie couldn't blame her friend for what she had said. She had been slightly offended- but then again, who wouldn't be? But Ellie was alright with proving people wrong. After all, she had been proving people wrong her entire life, in and out of the ring. Another round of doing just that was just fine with her.


There ya go! I hope you all enjoyed it... and that none of you died from suspense. XD

Please review, and don't forget to stay tuned for chapter 5! :D
