I woke up in the morning confused. I sat up realizing that I was in the clothes from last night and that this certainly wasn't my own room. Crap! I fell asleep in Dolph's room.

The other side of the bed hadn't been slept in. Where was Dolph? I slowly got out of bed, only to discover him on the floor with a pillow and blanket. I couldn't help but smile. Suddenly to began to stir. I tried to nonchalantly sit back on the bed to make it less obvious that I was looking at him sleeping. He sat up.

"Good Morning Blondie."

"Good Morning, Sorry I stole your bed! You should have woken me up or something. You didn't have to sleep on the floor in your own room!"

"I just didn't want it to be weird or uncomfortable for you. Plus, you looked so peaceful sleeping so I just tucked you in…" I smiled at him as I slid on my shoes.

"You are just too sweet, but next time you can kick me out. WWE superstars need to get sleep when they can."

"Pfft, nonsense. Wait! What time is it?" He said frantically. I looked at the clock.

"10:15."

"Shit!" He yelled jumping out of bed. "I have a "11:45 flight to Boston for the show."

"Well I will let you pack. I'll see you at the show." I left his room and got on the elevator to go down to my floor. When the elevator opened Natalya and Beth were among the people waiting.

"Kelsey! Are you coming fro where I think you are coming from?" Natalya crooned with a smile.

"Yes, but it isn't what you think!" She laughed.

"You two are ridiculous, you guys obviously like each other."

"We are just friends."

"Okay, what ever you say!" She laughed as her and Beth hopped on the elevator.

The next three weeks were hectic. My days were spent working out and hanging with Natalya and Beth. I spent my show performances messing with Zack's matches and attacking Eve since they had gotten back together on-screen. Eve in turn has screwed up my matched with the other diva's. My nights were much better, they were filled with Dolph. The weird thing about me and Dolph was that nothing ever happened. We didn't go out on dates, we didn't kiss, hook up, nothing. We just talked, watched movies, played video games. He was turning into the best friend I'd ever had. I could count on him and he was the only person I went into detail about my Zack situation.

Things changed the next week. Eve and I were finally set to face one another in a match as a follow up to all our interferences the previous weeks. The pressure was on to really make this match count. I wanted to prove to the WWE fans and the WWE itself that I deserved to be there and am able to put on a great performance. With so much build up, people had relatively high expectations. Eve and Zack came out first, playing up their couple status. I took a deep breath as I waited for my music to hit. It finally did and I put on my best smile. It was awkward to be going head to head with my ex and well, I guess his ex. Tensions were high.

The bell rang and we locked up in the center of the ring. I lost control initially and she threw me down. She grabbed my head and slammed it into the mat. I managed to punch her in the face and seize control. I jumped up and waited for her to stand. I speared her. She rolled around on the mat. I climbed to the top rope and tried to elbow drop. At the last second, she moved out of the way. I hit the mat hard. She pulled me to my feet and tried to toss me into the corner. I reversed it, instead throwing her into the corner. I punched her several times in the head before setting her on the top rope and preparing for a superplex. The crowd roared with anticipation. I lifted her and nailed the superplex. We were both supposed to sell it and then both try to get up it finish the match. I sold it hard and used the ropes to stand but when I turned around, Eve was still laying on the mat, not moving. Shit. She was really hurt. I walked over to her and got the quick pin to end the match. As the ref held my hand in victory, I told the ref to signal for the paramedics. Zack ran into the ring, jaw dropped in disbelief. I made eye contact with him confidently. I pretended to celebrate my victory around the ring as the paramedics were taking a look at her. I made my way up the ramp, forcing a smile. I turned to look to the ring one last time to see them lift her onto the gurney.

As soon as I got back stage I quickly made a dash in the direction of my locker room. People in the back were staring at me. Some looked concerned, many looked at my scornfully. Many people knew that our storyline was based on our real life situation and would assume the worst: that it wasn't a complete accident.

Dolph saw me and grabbed my arm. I looked up at him, tears welling up in my eyes.

"Kelsey…" he cooed, pulling me into a hug. I began to cry.

"I.I.I mess-messed up," I said between sobs.

"We all make mistakes Kelsey. It's going to be okay." He said reassuringly rubbing my back as I continued to cry. After a few minutes I calmed a bit.

"What if I paralyzed her or something? She was knocked out Dolph! I didn't mean to hurt her. People are going to think I did this on purpose or something," I sighed

"Don't freak out Kels, we will just wait and see what the doctors say. She probably is just banged up."

"I don't know how I'm going to live with myself if this is serious" I sniffled.

"It's all going to be okay, I promise you that Blondie." He smiled at me and he walked me to my locker room. He gave me a kiss on the top of my head and went to prep for his match. He always had a way of making me feel a little better.

Although my hysterics had stopped, I still felt guilty. I didn't want to be around any of the other divas tonight, not even Natalya and Beth. I quickly changed out of my wrestling gear and into a pair of skinny jeans and a halter top. I gathered my belongs and rushed out of the arena to get to the hotel unnoticed.

Once in the safety of my room, I curled up under my covers and cried. Some time later I heard a knock of the door. I opened it.

"Dolph!"

"Hey Blondie, I figured you still needed a little cheering up." I noticed he was holding a large bag. I smiled and let him into my room.

"So…what's in the bag Ziggler?"

"This just so happens to be my Kelsey cheer up kit."

"Sounds impressive. What exactly is in this kit?" I said playfully.

"Well," He opened the bag and began pulling out various items, "Your favorite ice cream, Chocolate chip cookie dough, various chocolates, an assortment of funny movies, and best of all, tequila and shot glasses."

"You are my fucking hero!" I gave him a big hug.

"I try. So , what movie shall we start with" He smiled.

"I'm thinking Old School. You can go wrong with Will Farrell."

"um have you seen Elf?" We both burst into laughter.

"Touché. You start the movie, I shall pour us some shots."

"Deal."

The Next Morning

I woke up groggily with a smile on my face despite the pounding headache I had. I was so comfortable and warm. Then I noticed the pair of arms around me. He stirred a little and pulled me closer, his face nuzzled in the back of my neck. I peaked under the blanket and I was clothed, which is impressive after we split a bottle of tequila. Just lifting my head made the world spin. If it was anybody else and I was any less hung-over, I would have tried to break out of his hold, but with Dolph I felt safe, secure, he was my best friend after all. I laid there another hour until I could feel him waking up. I pretended to be asleep. He leaned gently moved his arms from around me and leaned so he could see my face. I pretended to wake up, stretching.

"Morning Blondie." He gave me a kiss on the temple. "I guess I crashed here last night." He held his head.

"Yeah, well from the looks of that empty tequila bottle, I don't think either of us were going anywhere last night." He laughed.

"Very true. Do you have an aspirin?"

"Yeah, in my bathroom. Grab me some while you are at it!" He returned and we downed the pills.

"Breakfast?"

"Breakfast" I quickly changed, brushed my hair and fixed up last nights make-up while Dolph gathered his things.

"Move over!" He lightly pushed me to get a look into the bathroom mirror to comb his hair.

"And I'm supposed to be the diva here?" I teased.

"You are just jealous that I spend less time getting ready that you and still look this damn good." He said gesturing to his body.

"Whatever helps you sleep at night Ziggler." I opened the door to the hallway. The brightly lit hallway was enough to make both of us wince and yell obscenities. I pulled two pairs of sunglasses out of my purse, handing Dolph a pair of aviators. He put them on.

"SO much better. Today you are MY hero."

Everybody at the restaurant stared at the two of us walked in, obviously because we were strolling in wearing sunglasses. I saw Natalya and Beth at a table, upon seeing us they waved us over. As we made our way through the room I saw Zack, Curt Hawkins, and Alex Riley eating at a table. If looks could kill, I'd be dead ten times over. The look in Zack's eyes was one of anger. Dolph noticed me tense up. He followed my gaze and he put his arm around me and gave me a squeeze. He leaned in my direction.

"Don't pay any attention to him Blondie. Walk tall, you didn't do anything wrong." I nodded as we finally reached Beth and Natalya.

"Late night guys?" Natalya chuckled as we sat down.

"Why would you say that?" Dolph challenged playfully.

"Well, you both are wearing clothes you wore yesterday, you smell of tequila, and you guys are wearing sunglasses indoors, at breakfast!"

"Fair enough Natalya" Dolph said defeated.

"Too be fair, the glasses look very hip, very….I don't know ," Beth added, obviously not able to resist the easy target we made for ourselves this morning.

"Thank you, that's exactly what we were going for."

"How are you holding up after last night Newbie?" I could tell you were upset after the match last night."

"Well I'm feeling a little better about it today but I still feel bad. The move itself was clean. I just don't get what happened."

"Trust me when I say you aren't alone. Accidents happen all the time in this business. It's hard not to feel at fault but you just got to keep going," Beth said encouragingly.

"Don't worry guys! I have been a one man cheer up committee!" Dolph said proudly.

"That explains the tequila smell! You two have a weird love affair with tequila," Natalya quipped. We all busted out laughing.

"Yeah….but it was a highly effective maneuver," I said enthusiastically.

"I couldn't let her just sit around moping alone about injuring Eve."

"Speaking of Eve, have either of you heard anything about how she is doing?" I asked hopefully.

"Nothing to specific. I just know that they kept her over night at the hospital. I think she will be fine long term, probably going to be out for awhile."

"Well as long as she's going to be okay, I feel better."

I might have felt better, but I had no idea what changes this one event would bring.
