DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANY WWE SUPERSTARS/DIVAS IN THIS STORY!
Cosmo wasn't sure how long she had cried last night. All she could remember that it was going on 6 in the morning, but she still had her sobs closed in her throat. There was no denying that even though they had a nasty fight, she truly missed Seth Rollins next to her. But despite that, he'd hurt her in the worst way. She was no saint as she threw some verbal daggers his way, but they still hurt her to her very soul.
She wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, drenched in her tears as she downed the last of her Vodka bottle, wanting to be drunk to forget Seth. But she knew that wouldn't even be the case.
"He's so happy with Leila, so what's the point of even thinking of him anymore, less alone, accept our friendship again..whatever this is." She said out loud, even though no one was here with her.
She saw that it was Monday Morning; Another day for school. As far as she was concerned, she didn't give a fuck about school anymore. It reminded her of Seth. Everything reminded her of Seth Rollins.
But all she could remember was the words he said to her, what really hurt her the most out of everything..
Oh so now you wanna act like the innocent whore right? Tell me Cosmo, how many people did you fuck? Did you fuck my boss, Justin again, Roman, hell maybe even Skylar too? Maybe you are turning out to be like your mother.."
Everytime she thought of their argument, she broke down in tears again, thinking about it. Cosmo was never the kind of person to hate anyone and if she did something wrong, she would take full responsibility for it, no questions asked.
But Seth truly hurt her very soul. She no longer wanted to think about him, no longer wanted to see him, hear anyone speak his name.
She found herself getting up from the carpeted floor as she went to the sink to wash her face. She heard her phone vibrate and she groaned, not wanting to answer it at all. She scolded herself, forcing herself to go answer the phone, despite the broken state she was in. She saw that it was Skylar calling her. She cleared her throat as she took another swish of the Lemon Vodka bottle, hitting the answer button on her cell.
"Hey, what's up?" She sounded groggy.
"I wanted to make sure, you were ok.." She spoke softly.
"Skylar, it's damn near 8 in the morning. I know you have your own life and your busy and shit.." She sipped more of her drink.
"I'm never too busy for my best friend, and my sister." She spoke softly and filled with concern.
As much as she would try, Cosmo wouldn't be able to lie to Skylar about what was wrong. She could even feel herself trembling as her eyes fought back angry tears.
"Could you...could you come over please.." Cosmo's voice sounded vulnerable.
"I'm on my way there, Hippie girl. Roman's going to be at home today with Karissa so you have all the time you need with me. What's wrong.."
"...Everything.." Cosmo finally said.
Seth was off from work today as well, unable to sleep. It was noticible with the red rings around his eyes. He just couldn't believe he fucked up horribly of a friendship he had. And the worst part, he even felt like a rapist. He remembered Cosmo saying stop when he penetrated her anally and he didn't recognize himself, like it was an out of body experience. If he was standing in front of himself, he would be ready to beat down the monster inside of him.
He decided to go to one of his local Crossfits to work out. Seth was a fanatic about Crossfit and they would always help him to take his mind off everything..but with Cosmo, it would be one hell of a different story.
He hated himself for hurting the one person he cared about so much. Well..maybe not anymore. It was clear that she wanted Dean Ambrose so he decided to shake the thoughts away from his mind.
"They can have each other..fuck them.." He muttered as he went to the bathroom to take a shower and start his day off. Which would hopefully, be a peaceful one but his thoughts would continue to punish him of Cosmo and their fight yesterday.
He would have to try his hardest to forget her. He was out of her life as she was out of his.
Not to mention, he couldn't believe that she would think he would go back to Leila. They were only friends and it would be a cold day in hell before he ever got back with that woman.
But speaking of the devil herself, Leila was texting his phone. He looked at the text message.
Leila: Hey there sexy. I hope everything is going ok. Muah, nibbles and kisses! :)
[SEND]
Not wanting to be rude but not wanting to make any conversation at all, he texted back.
Seth: I'm fine. Thank you.
[SEND]
He finished his shower about 10 minutes ago and he decided to give his Samoan buddy Roman, a call. It wouldn't be a surprise if Dean told him what happened and Roman decided to march up there and kick his ass. He deserved it.
"Hey man, what's up?" Roman answered as Seth could hear the Blues Clues theme song playing.
"Does Karissa have school today? I'm asking because I was wondering if I could come by, I guess."
Roman chuckled. "Sure man. And no she doesn't have school, but she won't stop talking about you..or asking for chocolate."
Seth laughed, knowing how Roman always has his little girl spoiled.
"We do have to go to her doctor's appointment today but you can tag along."
"Sure that's fine with me. I'll be there in ten minutes." He said as he slipped on his black skinny jeans, his sneakers and a gray fitted shirt and his Black Iowa Cap. His workout would have to wait another day.
...
Skylar arrived at 8 in the morning as Cosmo began to cry on her shoulder, wetting up her sweatshirt but Skylar didn't care about that, as Cosmo shared a little bit about her fight with Seth and the current situation as of now. She wouldn't tell Skylar about the drugs though.
"I'm going to fucking kill him." Skylar growled, already her temper going through the roof. "He knows how you feel about your mom! What the hell is wrong with him?"
"It's not all his fault, you know." She wiped her eyes with the tissues. "After all, I was pretty bitchy with him too."
Skylar sighed. "I'm still going to fucking kill him. Do they have gun stores somewhere?"
"NO!" Cosmo grabbed her arm, tugging her back down to the couch. "You are not going to lay a hand on him, do you understand me! Especially not with a gun!"
Skylar rolled her eyes. "I know how to hide a body. I've seen too much CSI: Miami."
"And the criminals always get caught. Watch Law and Order." Cosmo glared at her.
"Not if you hide them in the desert." She smiled evilly.
"You do know that's still Roman's best friend and Deans.." She sighed, guilty thinking of how Seth and Dean almost fought because of her. She never meant for it to happen. She never meant to drive a wedge in between their friendship and wanted nothing more than to help repair it, even if it meant Dean and Seth cutting her out of their lives. "I think I broke up their friendship too. God, I wished I'd never slept with Dean or even flirted with him. Maybe I am a slut."
"No you are not!" Skylar told her, squeezing her hand, wiping her tears away with the pad of her thumb. "Yes, you and Seth have hit a rough spot but I know you guys can get through this."
"I don't know, Sky.." She sighed. "Maybe it is for the best. I mean, it was my fault. I'm the one that wanted to sleep with him during the course of our friendship."
"Yes, but so did he. You didn't force him and he didn't force you. It was consensual. You can't put this blame on yourself."
"Well can I at least, drink it away?" Cosmo said, half jokingly.
"No you cannot." Skylar took the bottle from her and dumped the rest down the sink of the kitchen. "But if you have some ice cream and the movie "Attack The Block", we can talk as much as you want and I need to know how you and Dean came about. And what the hell does Leila have anything to do with this?"
"Oh trust me, she has EVERYTHING to do with.." She was cut short by a phone call and she wrinkled her nose, seeing that it was from her job.
"Whose calling?" Skylar asked while she was in the fridge, grabbing the tub of Oreo ice cream and two silver spoons from the drawer.
"It's my job..I guess they need me." She stood up. "I'm sorry."
"It's ok. In fact, why don't I give you a ride?" Skylar smiled.
"Thank you, wifey." Cosmo pecked her cheek as she headed into the shower. Cosmo laid out her outfit, consisting of a white long sleeve cross cross design crop top, with some pink skinny jeans and buckle lace up cut out bootie heels.
She noticed that the pink in her hair was dying out, so she washed out all the pink dye in her hair and decided to do a couple of pink streaks in her hair, since she didn't have time to do her whole usual green hair color style. She slipped on her clothes and heels and then she touched up her make up to a light green eye shadow.
She grabbed her purse as Skylar was half way down to the tub of ice cream. Cosmo's jaw dropped slightly.
"What?" Skylar raised a brow, licking the spoon of the Oreo ice Cream.
"I'm still not use to you eating half a tub of ice cream." Cosmo shook her head, pulling the purse over her shoulder.
"I'm an ice cream woman, you know this." She chuckled as she wiped her moth, heading out the door with her Hippie friend.
...
After Seth and Roman left the doctor's appointment, making sure that Karissa was healthy and getting her vitamins, they all had lunch and Seth took Karissa upstairs so she could get her nap in, as she kept falling asleep in the car.
Roman and Seth were downstairs, drinking a beer, watching TV.
"So, how much did Dean tell you?" Seth sighed. "Because I'm pretty sure it was where he wouldn't shut the fuck up."
"Well, it wasn't that bad, to be honest but it was still bad enough. What happened between you and Cosmo yesterday?" The Samoan man asked him sternly.
Seth dished out everything to Roman, minus the drugs part. He knew he should tell him but it wasn't his place to say.
Roman sighed deeply. "Wow man.."
"Yeah..it's all fucked up..everything about it is. I hurt her, she accused me, I accused her and then we just..it all just blew the fuck up. We swore we wouldn't even let jealousy come between that."
"You said that she slept with Dean before though?"
"Yeah but we all had group sex; We were all pretty drunk and high and we just did whatever, even when we went back to her house. I guess now, seeing her with him last night and how they texted each other..I let my emotions boil over and I'm pissed with myself about that."
"Or.." Roman suggested. "Here's another theory; Maybe the reason why you were angry at yourself is not because of the fight between you and Cosmo and how neither one of you could keep up with the agreement..its the fact that you care about her. Maybe even have feelings for her.."
Seth's head snapped up, shaking his head in disbelief "Me and Cosmo are not in love with each other and our friendship is over right now."
"You said, right now. And that's what I thought about Me and Skylar."
"You and Skylar's situation was different; You two practically banged each other when y'all were in school. In other words, you were the principal fucking the student."
They both laughed at the blunt statement but calmed it down as to not wake Karissa.
"Look, even with our situations being different, be that as it may, you two are pretty much pissed at each other. She's pissed off with you and you can't blame her for that. And I don't blame you for being upset with her. However, avoiding each other isn't going to solve the problem. It will only cause further damage."
"I'm really not in the mood to talk to her or Ambrose."
"So you and Ambrose are.."
"Look, we are still brothers but I just don't even fucking know right now."
"Well, you said Leila has been telling you things about Dean and Cosmo. I know you are smart enough to know that Leila is trying to trap you. Think about it; She said she didn't want you until you hung out with Cosmo. Even if she's not in love with you or wants to be your so called "friend", she's trying to worm her way back into your life and punishing you and Cosmo to do so. You of all people should know that Leila is nothing more than a spoiled brat.
Seth sighed, knowing his Samoan brother was telling the truth about Leila being a spoiled brat. "At the same time though, she wasn't lying about Cosmo and Dean." He said reluctantly.
"Ok, she wasn't. Maybe she was telling the truth about Cosmo and Dean but you have to think about this; Would Cosmo really betray you by sleeping with Dean behind your back? Even though she knows you guys are friends? If she wanted to fuck Dean, she would have told you straight up. I may have not known Cosmo for long like you may have and Skylar too, but you have to think about it carefully; Everything is because of Leila. She's a jealous woman Seth. And the fact that you are sleeping with your best friend, seemed as though you betrayed her in her mind so in this case, to her, it's like Hell Hath No Fury like a woman's scorned."
Seth didn't want to talk anymore about Cosmo or the situation. He just wanted to drink his beer and watch the football game. "Can we just talk about something else?"
Roman sighed heavily, seeing as Seth was being stubborn right now. "Ok man. But you know I'm right..and you're being even more stubborn than Dean."
"When is Dean NEVER stubborn?"
They both laughed as they watched the rest of the football game.
Despite that Seth was having a great time right now, Roman's advice weighed heavily on his mind. He just wasn't sure what to do right now or how to handle the damage that has been done.
...
Cosmo and Skylar pulled up to the club as they stepped out.
"I'll wait outside if you need me. I have to call Roman to see how the doctor's appointment went with Karissa. She had to get her shots today and get her vitamins and I know Karissa HATES going to the doctor."
"Every little kid does, unless they offer candy..but its all still a trick just to stab you with that damn needle." Cosmo shook her head, chuckling as she stepped inside the club.
As she walked around, waiting to see what was going on, she saw Mrs. Lewis, the owner of the club.
"Hello, Ms. Valencia. Can you come inside my office please?" She gave Cosmo a polite smile, trying to stay professional but Cosmo knew something was wrong.
As they walked inside her office, they closed the door, locking it.
"Is something wrong, Ms. Lewis?" She asked as she sat down in front of her.
"Well..yes there is." Mrs. Lewis sighed. "Cosmo, you know you are one of the most hard working employees I know and I see you as like my daughter. But unfortunately, I don't believe I have any good news."
Cosmo swallowed nervously. "Ok.."
"Well...we had recently gotten a phone call..well in this case a meeting that you were under the influence and had been trying to score drugs at this time."
"Whoa wait a minute. Ms. Lewis. You know me better than anyone that I would never try to do drugs, especially here. The closest I would have is a cigarette."
"I know, but from what the lady showed me was this..." She showed Cosmo the picture on the phone and Cosmo's heart dropped;
It was a picture of when her ex boyfriend, Justin was trying to give Cosmo a bag of coke, outside the building.
However, it was taken out of context because Cosmo explained to Ms. Lewis that she never accepted the bag of cocaine. Someone had taken the picture, framing her.
"It's not the worse part.." Ms. Lewis sighed, biting her nails.
"Please, just tell me Ms. Lewis." Cosmo gulped, even though she really didn't want to find out.
"Well I explained to the woman that it would be handled, that I would give you a warning but she had threatened to shut down the club completely. The club isn't just for parties and the socialites, any money we make at the club, is also helping to donate to the elder's homes and the children's hospitals, even if we do serve alcohol here at the club, its all for a good cause as all of the money we make here, goes to them."
Cosmo realized that this person was threatening to cut off all medical help to the elder's homes and children's hospitals. And her father was in a nursing home, sick enough as it was. He couldn't even sneeze without coughing up blood.
"So..what does that mean..I'm-I'm fired?" She spoke softly. "And if I stay that means.." She couldn't even finish her sentence without Ms. Lewis finishing it for her, already knowing what the deal was.
Ms. Lewis sighed sadly. "I'm very sorry sweetheart. You know this isn't personal. But if this picture.."
"It's really not what you think, Ms. Lewis. You know I would never break the rules here.." Cosmo forced herself not to cry. Being fired was the worst thing in the world to anyone, especially from a job that paid well.
"I know but rules are rules. You know better than to have drugs at this place. It discredits us in many ways."
"Can I at least resign instead? Instead of you firing me.." Cosmo suggested instead.
Ms. Lewis nodded. "That would be better. I don't want that to mess up your work history. I'm very sorry, Ms. Valencia.."
"No, it's ok. Really it is. They'll be other jobs right?" She gave a plastic smile to her. "If you don't mind me asking though..who was that woman?"
"Well..I don't remember exactly her name..I believe it was Lily or Leila.." She thought carefully.
"Leila.." It all rung a bell for her; Leila was really on a hell streak to destroy Cosmo and costing her her job was one of them, including shutting down all the funds to help her father and children's hospitals. It was bad enough she drove a wedge between the friendship with her and Seth, but she went too far this time and enough was enough.
Cosmo turned in her ID badge as she grabbed her purse, leaving out the door as Skylar saw the look on her face.
"What's going on?"
"I got fired from my job, because long story short; Ms. Lewis is being blackmailed and threatening to shut down the club, cutting off all donations to help with the elderly home for my father and the children's hospitals."
"What the hell?" Skylar's eyes bugged out. "That's bullshit!"
"I know. But I said I would resign instead. But I already know whose the blackmailer." Cosmo said calmly, yet the anger was in her tone. "Actually, do you mind dropping me off somewhere?"
"I can stay with you, if you need me too." Skylar offered but Cosmo shook her head.
"You've already done enough for me. I'll handle the rest by myself. Trust me."
Skylar sighed, dejectedly as she started the car. But she trusted Cosmo that whatever was going on, she would handle it and that she wasn't alone. She just hoped that Seth and her would get their heads out their asses about their argument and work things out.
...
Meanwhile, Leila was on the phone, laughing it up with her friend.
"Thank you so much. I already know for a fact, poor little Cosmo is crying home to her daddy about how she can't help to pay for his medical bills and that in order for him to get help, she would have to be out of a job." She chuckled, sipping more of her wine glass.
Who knew getting information in a town like Tampa Florida would be so damn easy?
From what her girlfriend told her, since she was at the party of Corey Graves, it seemed that Cosmo and Seth had one hell of an argument, much to the pleasure of Leila. Now she already knew Cosmo would be fired indeed.
"Well, since my baby is out of town right now, I'm by myself but it's ok. Because I-"
Just then, she heard a knock on the door. "I'll call you back, Marybeth." She hung up the phone, hoping it would be Seth. The knocking continued.
"I'm coming." She fixed up her dark brown hair and her lace business dress as she walked down the hall in her heels, opening the front door.
As she opened the door, it revealed to be Cosmo. Leila chuckled, having a feeling that the slut would probably crybaby in front of her.
"Well Cosmo, how-"
SLAP!
Leila had the wind knocked out of her, shocked as Cosmo just landed a hard heavy slap right to her face.
"You pathetic bitch!" Cosmo said viciously as Leila held her right cheek, red from her slap.
A/N: I know you all have been waiting for that now *evil grin*
Next chapter, Leila and Cosmo have a major showdown. All hell is gonna break loose forreal.
