A/N: I only own Lee.
xMyHeartShine, Miamitravel, & ashmarie - thanks for the reviews!
Lee POV
I had been single for a whole month… I was proud of myself. I had trained more with Heath, Stu, Paul, Chris, and Jay. Eve and I had finished planning everything and the wedding was in 4 days. We were having the wedding in Los Angeles, since that's where Eve was from and she wanted to get married on a cliff that over looked the ocean.
We were flying into LA tomorrow night after the TLC match. I was worried about the matches because Adam, Stu, Paul, Heath, and Phil were all fighting. Phil had just been cleared and got thrown into his match. I wasn't happy about it, but he was happy that he was wrestling again. I was wrestling Nattie tonight, but I wasn't going to win. I was a little bummed, but it was part of the storyline.
I was sitting in the locker room that night and I knew that it was going to be a brutal match. I was going to end up getting a chair shot; I was ready for it, but no one likes unnecessary pain.
"Good luck." Eve said and I hugged her. Adam hugged me as Nattie walked up.
"Good luck." She said and I laughed at her.
"I promise I won't hurt you too bad." She said as she hugged me.
"I appreciate it." I said as my music started.
I walked out in my Nexus gear and Stu walked out with me. I knew that Nattie was going to be escorted with David. Stu hugged me before getting into the ring and I was focused on this match.
Stu POV
I was watching as Nattie and Lee were going at it in the ring. I knew that Lee was a little disappointed that she was going to lose… even if she wouldn't out right tell me. We had become closer over the past month and she had made some changes to herself. I noticed that she was getting skinner, but I didn't know if it was because she was working out more.
The match started off and Lee was doing some new moves that she had been learning from all of us. They kept going, David and I started at each other a few times, and finally it was time for Nattie to hit Lee with the chair. Everything looked good until Nattie got distracted by Tyson coming towards the ring. Nattie hit Lee on the side of the face and I saw blood fly. Nattie quickly covered her and I slipped into the ring. I could see blood pouring from somewhere. I pulled my shirt off and covered the side of her face.
"It's going to be ok, baby." I whispered to her as she was withering in pain. I had her hand as the medics started to come out.
"It hurts." She mumbled and I looked at her. I had the wound covered, but I knew that it was bad.
"It really hurts." I said and she was turning pale white.
"I know, but help is coming." I said and she closed her eyes.
"No, Lee, stay away… open your eyes." I said and finally opened them.
"Keep them open beautiful." I whispered and she looked at me.
"It's too hard." She mumbled and closed them again.
"Lee." I said as I gently shook her. She was now unresponsive and I knew that this had gone from bad to worse. I looked up to see the medics finally getting into the ring.
"Hurry up!" I snapped as they put her onto the stretcher.
I walked up the ramp with them and was going to the hospital with them.
"Stu, you have to fight… I will go with her." Eve said and I sighed.
"Go, she wants you to win." She said and I nodded.
Adam POV
I finished my match and Stu was waiting for me. We had both won our matches, but we didn't care. Eve, Paul, Chris, Jay, and Heath were already at the hospital. Stu drove us and I was just glad when we finally got there. Phil was the last match of the night and he was going to come when he got done. We were all worried about Lee. I walked in to see Nattie sitting with Eve. She hugged me.
"I don't blame you." I told her and she nodded. She had been crying and was really upset. I sat down with them. I didn't want to wait; I just wanted Lee to be ok. I was sitting there when the doctor finally came out.
"Are you all with Ms. Copeland?" he asked us and I stepped forward.
"We are, but I'm her brother." I said and he nodded.
"Well, she will be fine, but she has a concussion, a large gash that required stitches, and bruising. She was very lucky that she wasn't hit in the temple." He said and I put my arm around Nattie. I knew that she was upset.
"Can I see her?" I asked him.
"Follow me… but just one of you. She will be out in a little bit." He said and I nodded.
I walked back there and walked through the curtain. The nurse was putting the last bandage on and she helped Lee sit up. She gave me a small smile as I sat down next to her.
"I can't ask you how you feel because it's pretty obvious… so are you mad?" I asked her.
"Nah, Nattie didn't do it on purpose. I just hope that she doesn't feel bad." She said.
"She is out there… she feels horrible." I said and Lee sighed.
"She shouldn't… it happens." She said and I nodded.
"So, um, I don't think I brought enough make up to cover this up for your wedding pics." She said and I laughed at her.
"Who cares… it will be a good story later on." I said and she shrugged.
Lee POV
We finally got done and I was released. I walked out and up to Nattie. I hugged her and she was crying.
"I'm fine… please don't feel bad." I told her and she nodded.
"Ok, but yeah." She said and I laughed at her.
I hugged Eve and Chris wrapped his arm around me as we walked out. I knew that a lot of people were flying out tonight and the rest of us were here for a few days for the wedding. Chris, Jay, Phil, Adam, Eve, Gail, and I were all staying. I knew that a few other superstars from Smackdown were flying in tomorrow. I just wanted to go to sleep, but I couldn't for 12 hours.
"Come on, we can get food and keep you up." Phil said and I nodded.
"I will go with you all to the airport to see you off… then food." I said and we all agreed. Chris and Jay were going back to the condos. Eve and Adam had rented some condos for us to stay in for the wedding. I was staying in one with Gail and Kelly when she got here tomorrow night.
I went to the airport to see the Nexus guys off. I was walking with Stu to security when he stopped me.
"Please be careful." He said and I nodded.
"I will be. Text me and let me know that you landed alright." I said and he nodded as I hugged him. I had gotten a lot closer to Stu; he was like my best friend now. I watched as he walked away before going to Swingers in LA. I was glad to have food, but I didn't like that people were staring.
Phil POV
I could tell that Lee was uncomfortable so I gave her my hoodie. She pulled it on and put the hood up. We ate and I helped her to her condo. Gail unlocked the door and I helped her to the couch. She couldn't sleep for six more hours and I knew that she was tired.
I sat up with her the rest of the night and carried her to bed when she could finally sleep. I was staying in the condo next to theirs so when Lee told me to stay with her I didn't worry about it. I just cuddled up with her and sleep really good with her in my arms.
A/n: Does Phil have a shot now?
