'Oh, Melina, look who it is…' Maryse patronized, flipping her glossy hair over her shoulder, as she and the Divas champion confronted Estelle who was exiting the Divas locker room.

Melina gave a mocking smile to Estelle, 'It's the poor bitch who couldn't beat me last Sunday…Estelle do you honestly think you have a chance at getting my Divas Championship title, I mean, seriously?'

Estelle kept eye contact with Melina, standing her ground over the woman she'd soon claim the title from. 'Yeah, I do, Melina.'

Melina scoffed and Maryse gave that high-pitched laugh Estelle had always hated. 'Oh, really? You think you can defeat me for this title?' she looked down at the belt slung over her shoulder, giving a wide grin, 'Your match against us tonight was a fluke and that's all you are Estelle, nothing but a fluke-'

Estelle slapped Melina across the face, and then Maryse slammed Estelle into the wall repeatedly, banging her head again and again, while she screamed and the French-Canadian mocked her, squeezing her jaw. 'You think you can beat us now, huh? Huh? You're nothing! You could never beat us!' then she jeered and insulted in French, so Estelle couldn't understand what she was saying.

Maryse then let Estelle go. She slumped to the cold floor and Melina slapped her round the face, getting her own back. She then hauled Estelle up by her hair, dragged her toward the nearest table while Maryse pulled her by the arm and they both took a firm clasp on her hair and pounded her head into the table, while all three women shrieked and screamed. They finally stopped, and Melina pushed Estelle into the wall, where she fell to a heap on the ground, clutching at her head.

'You're nothing but a cheap whore!' Melina yelled while Maryse laughed and cheered her on childishly as her friend kicked Estelle until she lay crying.

Maryse looked up and grabbed Melina's arm and yanked her from the whimpering Estelle who she was still trash talking to.

'What?' Melina asked, but her question was answered once she saw Cody, Ted and Orton coming round the corner, some fifteen or so metres away.

'You're lucky this time, bitch,' Melina sneered, kicking Estelle in the stomach for good riddance.

'Hey!'

'Shit, Maryse, let's go.' Melina, at the sound of Randy's voice and three pairs of quickening footsteps, rushed off with her friend, not once looking back.

Estelle screwed up her face, moaning as she prodded the bruise forming on her forehead. Not only did her head hurt, she was completely embarrassed by the fact Orton had to help her when he was with Cody and Ted.

'It's not that bad…' said Eve sympathetically as she turned on the tap, washing her hands.

'It aches like hell, Eve,' Estelle complained.

'I can't believe they'd do that, though,' Eve stated, making her way to the hand dryer.

Estelle rolled her eyes, frustrated she had to wait for the noise of the dryer to stop before she could talk. 'I do,' she said, once it was quiet. The sound of Eve's heels was the only thing that could be heard once Estelle was examining herself in the mirror: the dishevelled hair, scratches on her jaw and that damn bruise.

'Oh my god,' Eve exclaimed, moving closer to check out the scratches.

'Hmm… Maryse has some nails on her,' Estelle fixed her hair.

'Hey, we won't let them get away with this, okay?' Eve took Estelle's shoulder and smiled.

'Of course,' replied the blonde.

'Melina and Maryse just can't accept the fact that we beat her tonight, and the fact you almost took her Divas title.'

'Thanks, Eve,' said Estelle, looking in the mirror at her friend. She always managed to help get her in a better mood, Eve was good at that. 'How do I get rid of this?' the blonde pointed to the bruise, which would eventually become darker and darker.

Eve took out her lightest concealer from her bag, which was set by the sink and handed it to Estelle.

'Better?' asked Estelle, blending the last little bit. Eve nodded her agreement.

'I can't believe Randy helped you though, he doesn't seem the type.'

'He doesn't, does he?' Estelle laughed. 'You know he was talking to Cody and Ted about them becoming a team.'

'Really?'

'Uh-huh, last week Randy was talking about it after their tag match. He must've persuaded them tonight somehow.'

'Sounds more like Randy…' Eve began, 'But, are you alright with it. I mean you're close friends with Cody, and after what happened last week.'

'I know what you mean, Eve, but I suppose I just have to trust Cody, right?' Estelle made her way to the door.

Eve bit her lip as she followed. 'I suppose, I just don't wanna see you get hurt once you get into this, we all know what Orton's like.' They left the girl's bathroom and began to head to the Divas locker room.

Estelle nodded her agreement. 'Hey, Eve, aren't you at the same hotel as us?'

'Us?'

'Me, Cody and Ted.'

'I think so.'

'Do you wanna ride back? I'd appreciate your company.'

'Sure, would Cody mind though?' Eve opened the locker room door and they both walked in.

'I don't reckon so.' Estelle picked up her bag, as did Eve, then they left and headed to the parking lot.
