I half ran my way into the convention center. I was running a little behind for my signing and scheduled appearance at Wrestlemania Axxcess. With the events of the morning, I was a little preoccupied. My knee high stiletto boots clicked against the tiled floor as I rushed through the halls. Finally, I arrived at my designated meeting spot.

"Hi, Sorry I'm late!" I said apologetically.

"Kelsey Ryder! You're here. Go ahead and take your seat at the table," one of the event organizers said to me.

I nodded and walked up onto the platform. Zack and Dolph were already there. An empty chair sat between them, I groaned. I was in for an awkward evening. I plopped down in the chair.

"Nice seeing you boys," I said in a pleasant tone.

"You look really pretty today, Kelsey," Zack said softly, a shy smile on his face.

"Thank you Zack, you don't look so bad yourself."

"Seriously, will you two just get a fucking room already?" Dolph spat.

"Well maybe you wouldn't be so grumpy today if you weren't still hung over from last night," Zack shot back. He looked over at me.

"Thanks," I whispered in his ear. I appreciated him standing up to him.

"No problem," he whispered back.

The event organizer came back over to us.

"So they are opening the doors now, I don't know what's going on between you guys but we need to nix it in front of the fans," She said firmly.

"We will, don't worry," I said politely. I was a little embarrassed that the three of us couldn't behave and had to be reprimanded like children.

The fans assembled in line and we sat through hours of signings. When we were done with that, Zack and I got whisked away to do some interviews and other press. They often grouped us together for the sake of our on screen marriage situation. It really helped sell it. We walked arm and arm through the arena.

"Thanks for saying that to Dolph," I said sweetly.

"You're welcome. I know you guys are fighting and he's just instigating things with you. He doesn't always handle things very well."

"Yeah, no kidding. He's been a colossal jerk."

"Is he who upset you last night?" He asked softly.

"Yeah…he was being a jerk," I said simply.

"Dolph be a jerk? I never would have thought!" He said sarcastically. I laughed.

"Yeah, I know. You told me to be careful."

"That I did. But that doesn't mean I was completely right about him either."

"Wow, are you really admitting that you may have been wrong?" I teased.

"Yeah, I guess I am."

We were interrupted by a fan.

"Oh my gosh! Are you Zack and Kelsey Ryder?" A teen aged girl chirped.

"That we are!" Zack said with a smile.

"I am such a big fan of yours! Are you guys really married?"

"Yeah, been married six and a half years now," I said with a grin.

"Wow! That is so cool. It must be awesome working together!"

"Well…most days. Some days we don't get along so well. Then you have an angry wife in the ring and out," he said jokingly.

"Hey!" I said hitting him in the arm. "He is a pain in my ass. But he is my pain in the ass." He laughed.

"Can I get a picture with you guys?"

"Sure." We took a picture with us and we headed on our way.

"She was adorable," I said to Zack.

"Yeah, she was sweet, she obviously thinks we are much cooler than we are," he joked.

"Speak for yourself! I am awesome!"

"Yeah, yeah you are."

We finished up our interviews and shared a cab back to the hotel. We parted ways. I was going to head back to my own room but I really needed to have a good talk with somebody. I headed over to the appropriate room and knocked on the door.

"Hey Kelsey," Natalya said a bit surprised.

"Hi Nattie, can I come in?" I asked softly. She nodded and let me in. I plopped onto the bed.

"So what brings you here, girlie?"

"Well first, I want to apologize for last night. I just up and left and I'm sorry. You and Beth deserved better than for me to run off."

"Well, it was fine Kelsey, we were just worried about you. You were acting so strangely. What's going on?"

"A lot of things. Dolph and I have been fighting like really bad. He saw me and Zack coming into the hotel after we went out for dinner and went ballistic."

"He is so jealous!"

"Yeah I guess so. But he's the one who left me naked in a hotel room…in California! But anyways, last night I ran into him next to the bar and I saw him making out with Kelly Kelly."

"God, she is such a tramp sometimes!"

"Right! Dolph and I exchanged some harsh words so I got drunk and left. I fell outside and ran into Zack. He took me back to his room and put me to bed."

"How sweet of him! Hottie husband to the rescue!"

"Which is nice except for drunk Kelsey didn't want to go to bed, she wanted to get laid…"

"Kelsey! Please tell me you didn't!" She squealed.

"I tried…I kissed him and things were really heating up. Then he stopped it and told me that he couldn't do it…not like that. Which in a weird way was the sweetest thing ever. But I sent him to my room to get something and he saw the divorce papers."

"Oh my god, he must have been so upset."

"Yeah...he was. He basically told me that he wanted to give things another try and gave this almost poetic, movie like speech about how much he loves me. It was just so captivating and he had a lot of good points. I do love him…I just have no idea what to do."

"So you are considering it?"

"Well yeah…he said he'd sign the papers if that's what I wanted but he hoped I'd pick to stay and be married to him."

"God, that is such a huge decision. How are you going to decide?"

"I don't have a damn clue. It's hard to just throw away so much history…I just have to figure out what I want. I really don't know how to do that exactly," I said with a little defeat in my voice.

"I don't know what to tell you…I guess you just need to figure out exactly where your heart is. If it isn't with Zack, it doesn't do him any favors to stay with him. If it really and truly think your heart lays with Zack, then by all means, be with him."

"I just wish there was an easier way to know what to do. I mean, how does anybody know where their heart is? I had a life made with Zack before, I loved him in a way I'd never loved anybody before. He was my best friend and so when we got married, I never thought I'd ever consider getting divorced. Everybody always says that you should marry your best friend, that that's the best way to have a successful, lasting marriage. But it didn't turn out that way for us," I said sadly.

"Well just because it didn't work the first time, that doesn't mean it wouldn't a second time."

"You are absolutely right. I just think it's hard to predict what will happen. What if things get a little rough again. Will he up and leave me in the middle of the night again? I don't know if I'd sleep knowing that in the morning he could be gone. I can't go through that again, I won't. It nearly destroyed me the last time. I just can't do it."

"But who say's he'd leave?"

"I know he probably wouldn't but I think the thought would be in the back of my mind all the time."

"That would be quite understandable. Have you thought….ah never mind," She said dismissively.

"No, what were you going to say?" I pressed. She took a deep breath.

"Have you considered that Zack may not have been telling you to pick between divorce and being together?" She asked.

"Well, that's what he asked me…"

"I mean, he said that's what he was asking but what if that isn't really what he is asking."

"You are losing me here, Nattie. Just give it to me straight."

"Okay, well I think that although Zack said to choose between divorce and being with him, I think he was really asking you to choose between him and Dolph."

"I hadn't thought of that."

"To be honest with you Kelsey… I think that Dolph is a huge reason that you can't easily decide to stay with Zack. I think there are unresolved things going on with you guys. If you choose Zack, without working out things with Dolph…I think you may find yourself wondering if you did the right thing. Asking what if."

"You think my heart is with Dolph?" I asked her seriously.

"I really do. But you need to see if that is true for you. You said it yourself, true happiness is when you marry your best friend. Zack may have been your best friend back then…but Dolph is your best friend now. I can tell that he is just crazy about you…Maybe your heart lays with him…you owe it too yourself and both of them to figure it out."

"I think you may have a really good point Natalya… holy shit this is hard. This is just so much to handle, especially with Wrestlemania coming up."

"Do you find the slightest amount of humor in the fact that in a weird way the match at Wrestlemania and your life are oddly aligned?" She chuckled.

"Yeah, I don't know whether to cry or laugh though."

"I can't blame you. Just know that unlike Wrestlemania, your ending isn't predetermined. You can go either way…both of them are completely in love with you. You just have to decide which one suits you," She said shrugging. I stood up and hugged her.

"Thank you so much, Nattie! You have really helped me out more than you will ever know."

"I try my best," She said with a smile.

"Bye, I'll see you at the Hall of Fame ceremony tomorrow night."

"Bye sweetie, good luck."

I walked back to my room, exhausted. I had so much to think about. I just had to figure out where my heart is…
