Brie was settling in to her mother's condo. Today was her day off. She thought it would be a good day to relax and think about things. The phone started to ring.
"Hello?" Be said.
"Hi." Her mother Kathy said.
"Hi mom."
"Settling in ok?"
"Yeah."
"How are you?"
"I'm hanging in there." "I miss Daniel but I'm hoping this time apart will get our relationship back on track."
"Have you spoken to your sister?"
"No."
"Why?
"Mom, you know how she's been lately." "I can't talk to her."
"I hate seeing the two of you like this." "I wish you would work it out."
"Don't think I haven't tried?"
"I know how this must be for you."
"It sucks." "On the positive side I have a really good friend who's helping me through it."
"That's good."
"I have to go mom."
"Ok." "Try to stay strong."
"I'll try."
"I love you Brie."
"I love you too mom."
The next evening Brie was at the arena. She was all dressed to compete and standing in the middle of the ring. She wasn't to surprised when she heard Nikki's music hit. With a microphone in hand Nikki made her way down to the ring.
"Brie." Nikki said. "Before I announce your opponents tonight, I wanted to tell you how sorry I am." "I heard through the grapevine that last week you and Daniel decided to separate." "Not even a year of marriage and already you're having problems." "That shows the kind of wife you are." Nikki said smirking. Brie got a microphone.
"Yes." "Daniel and I are having some problems but you what?" "At least I'm married unlike you." "I'm not some pathetic, husband hungry, loser who constantly begs her boyfriend to marry her." Nikki was angry. She shoved Brie hard. Brie shoved her back. Nikki took Brie down at the legs. They rolled around on the mat smacking each other and pounding each others heads into the mat. Security came and broke it up.
Later on in the back Brie was in catering drinking a water. John came up to her.
"Hi." Brie said.
"Hi."
"You're not mad at me are you?"
"No why?"
"All that stuff I said about how Nikki's not married." "I'm sorry."
"No." "It's fine don't worry about it."
"I know that marriage is a sensitive subject for you." "I had no right to bring it up."
"It's alright."
"Ok."
"How are you with everything that's happened?"
"You mean separating from Daniel?"
"Yeah."
"I'm hanging in there."
"Good." "Have you guys talked at all?"
"We talked on the phone a few times." "I think this will work."
"I hope for your sake it does."
"John I want to thank you."
"For what?"
"You've been there for me through some pretty rough times recently." "I don't know what I would done without you."
"No problem." She hugged him. "You'll be happy again Brie." "I know it."
"You're a good friend."
"So are you."
"I have match." He said letting her go. "I'll talk to you later."
"Bye."
"Bye."
