Hey guys sorry for the lack of updates. I'm posting two new chapters right now. Sorry again :)

Chapter Twenty-Six - Hall of Fame

"Wake up B, we are almost there." Ry gave me a shove and he adjusted the collar on his tux,

"I'm awake. I just need a little nap, it's been non-stop all week."

"Yeah me too. This is a great night for the legends but I kinda just want to sleep until its time for my match."

"I know but let's get through tonight, hopefully it can take our mind off tomorrow for a little while."

Our Mercedes pulled up to the red carpet as Ry got out of the car I caught the mass of people behind the ropes and the camera's flashing I definitely wasn't in my element. I struggled to get out of the car with my gown, trying my best not to damage the small train. Ry held out his hand and gave me a supportive smile; he was feeling the same way. "Sydney!" members of the crowd yelled, Ry helped fix the back of my Alaia as I took his arm and walked into the arena. I posed for photos and talked to interviewers, I played the part of Sydney but I wasn't there. I was exhausted and my emotions were on over drive, the biggest night in my career was tomorrow and that was consuming my mind. I didn't want to play dress up tonight.

"So who are you wearing?" an interviewer asked,

"It's a custom Alaia. I worked with a design team to change to strapless gown into a cap sleeved top and changed part of the bodice to make it a little bit more sheer in the back and a tiny part in the front."

"Well we are just blown away with this beautiful creation. We definitely have an eye on you and your style."

I walked away from the red carpet with Ry and we were desperate to find our seats to get off our tired feet.


"Let's get this show on the road." Ry and I collapsed to our seats and watched the floor filled with the roster and their dates. I caught Punk's eye as he took his seat a row in front of us, I gave him a cheeky smile and leant forward in my seat to whisper in his ear,

"Nice suit."

"Nice dress. I saw you walking on the red carpet it took a lot of effort to stop myself from picking you up and taking you home."

"Only a few hours until we are tucked in bed."

"I can't wait."

I turned back to Ry who rolled his eyes, "I don't want to know what you guys just talked about."

An assistant made their way to me,

"I was told to come and get you so you can walk one of the inductees out."

"Oh okay sure." I slightly raised the hem of my dress so I could keep up with the assistant who kept a fast pace in front of me.

The backstage arena was just as crazy as a normal night at the arena except people weren't half naked they were dressed in their best suits and glamorous dresses. I was directed over to the small bunch of people gathered around the inductee.

"John Bradford Layfield." I spoke I put my hands on my hips as I stood before the large Texan man,

"Bethany Jane, there you are. I thought you would like to join me on stage."

"Only because it's your big night but you have to promise not to destroy me on commentary."

"You drive a tough bargain but alright."

I sat with a few legends as I listened to their stories and advice, Jake 'The Snake' Roberts and members of DX; X-Pac and Road Dogg were more then happy to joke around with me, they sensed my nerves and tried their best to loosen them.


JBL and I stood and watched Ron Simmons introduce him,

"Before you go out for your match tomorrow I just want to tell you that there a few people in the back that are really behind you as a legitimate wrestler and you should keep doing what your doing. I've got your back."

"Wow thanks. That's a massive compliment coming from you."

"Don't be getting a big head or anything but it's why I wanted you to walk me out, not that model girl. I know its ridiculously petty but I'm a cranky old man."

"Well c'mon you cranky old man, let's hope we can walk you out without you breaking a hip." We walked arm in arm to the podium and I gave him a kiss the cheek and smiled for the crowd and turned to walk backstage,

"That one is a heartbreaker and she can wrestle. Watch out for that one." JBL's comment put a wide smile on face as I walked back to my seat and enjoyed the rest of the night.


I was staring at the ceiling when the alarm went off at 7, "Long day a head." Phil rolled over and put his arm under my neck, I put my arm across his stomach and pulled him closer,

"This time tomorrow my nerves will be back to normal."

Phil sat up against the bedhead pulling me up along side him, I turned my body and wiggled my right leg under his leg and my left draped across it so my body was pressed against his side,

"Let's go on a holiday after this." He suggested,

"Like that's going to happen." I snorted, "We go and to Australia in 2 weeks and then Europe not too long after that."

"Knock, knock." Scott called out from behind the door, "Is everyone decent?" Without waiting for a reply Scott entered the room and sat on the edge of the bed,

"Are we excited for tonight?"

"I think it's excitement but my constant feeling of nausea makes me think otherwise." I spoke sharply,

"I'm about to perform in front of tens of thousands of people in my home town doing something that I love. I'm pretty sure I'm about to be woken up from a dream. I might still be at Shaleen's house in the basement recovering from a broken skull."

"You forgot about the Australian snuggling next to you." I added with a smile,

"It's so cute it's giving my a tooth ache." Scott joked sarcastically; he pulled out a camera,

"Scott this is not some sick fantasy." Phil pointed at the camera,

"No calm down man, I'm taking photos of the day. I'm documenting." He took the photo of Phil and I snuggling,

"This one shall be captioned, Punk in love."
