Colby
We had made our way backstage and into our locker room and I had managed to keep my anger under control but now since it was just the three of us I could let loose.

"Why didn't you tell me she was here?" I hissed as I grabbed Jon and pinned him up against the wall
"Hey! Colby! Calm down!" Joe warned me as he tried to pull me from Jon
"Jon! JON! Why didn't you tell me! SHE'S HERE! You knew this whole fucking time," I cursed at him, as once again Joe tired to pull me from him
"Who's here? Geez Colby calm down"
"Gemma's here that's whose here Joe. And this asshole knew" I sneered as turned to face Jon again
"Bro, let me go and I'll explain" Jon pleaded with me, but I wouldn't let go the anger within me couldn't.
"5 YEARS! It's been 5 years since I've seen her and this is how I find out. I spy her in the crowd at Wrestlemania" I hissed
"Bro, I thought her would come find you before all this, but you know her she's as stubborn as you. She wanted you to see her yourself and then talk to you" Jon spoke and he tired to loosen my grip on him
"Wait! You've been talking to her before today?"
"Of course, she's one of my oldest friends"

I finally let Jon go but I turned away from him and started pacing back and forth.

"Why didn't you tell me?" I asked
"Bro, I thought you'd moved on. I thought she had but she was into two minds about signing because of you" Jon calmly said
"Over her? How could I be over here? She was the one. The one that got away" I heavily breathed
"Well you haven't spoke about her in what 2,3 years?"
"Still doesn't mean that I'd forgotten about her"

Joe was leaning awkwardly against the other wall.

"It looks like you two have some talking to do. I'm gonna take a shower let you ladies work it out" he laughed as he grabbed a towel and left the room

I watched as the door closed and Joe was out of the room.

"She was in two minds? She was going to turn down a WWE contract because of me?" I asked trying to calm myself down
"Yes, you where there the only reason. But this is something you need to discuss with her."
"Right, I'm going to find her now!" I hissed before turning to leave

But before I could leave the room, Jon grabbed me by the arm.

"Don't! She's debuting tonight in the diva's match tonight. She's nervous enough as it is," he said pulling me back
"Fine, but that doesn't stop me watching the match" I sighed
"Do whatever you want but leave her till after. Tomorrow even grab her before we meet before RAW. Remember we still have to work together and you know how much of a temper she has," he said as he sat on the bench and started removing his uniform

"Fine" I sighed as I ran my fingers through my hair

I needed to get clean up before I ventured out to watch the diva's match. I remember I had made a promise to Gemma that if she ever made it to WWE that I'd be in the sidelines cheering her on. That was one promise I wasn't going to break to her, I'd broken enough with her.

Gemma

I waited behind the gorilla for my queue to make my entrance, AJ Lee had just gone ahead of me and her music was still playing. My nerves where at their height now, I was trying to breathe slowly to slow my racing heart. Stretches, stretches always calmed me down. I took a deep breath and grabbed my right arm and brought it behind my head. I felt someone tap my shoulder and for a spilt second I thought it could be Colby but I glanced over my shoulder to see it was Jon.

"Good luck Irish. Crush em'" Jon winked as he hugged me quickly
"Thanks Ohio"

He was about to tell me something else, but my queue was being given.

"Gotta go, chat later? Hotel?" I quickly asked

Jon just nodded; I just barely saw it before dashing into position.

Vickie Guerrero's shrill voice came through the PA system.

"HOLD UP HOLD UP. Don't ring that bell. We have one final entry in my Divas Championship Invitational. And here she is …"

This was it, my debut on the grandest stage of them all. This was my time.

Colby

I stood side stage with other WWE superstars who wanted to watch the rest of the show, most didn't bother with the diva matches but since this was the first time the divas title was being defended at Wrestlemania.

"HOLD UP HOLD UP. Don't ring that bell. We have one final entry in my Divas Championship Invitational. And here she is …" Vickie Guerrero shrieked into the microphone

I guessed this was her time, it had been years since I seen her walk to a ring or wrestle. She had disappeared after she left me, no one had seen her, no one had talked to her, she had disappeared without a trace. I spent months searching for her but I guess she didn't want me to find her.

I looked at the screen as her entrance music started to play. I didn't recognise the song but it sounded like something she would listen to.

Now, now now .. now, now, now

The intro to the song played out and I could hear the reaction from the crowd
She definitely had a following in NXT. She appeared on the stage just before the chorus played

Where'd you go? Where's your home?
How'd you end up all alone?
Can you hear me now?

She had dawned a long dark green trench coat cinched at her sides, and she was wearing steampunk goggles over her eyes. And as the words 'hear me now' played she seemed to the shout them to the crowd.

"Making her way to the ring, from Donegal, Ireland. ROGUE!"

As she reached the before of the ramp, she removed her goggles and tossed her hair. I could tell from the way she had walked out to making her down the ram, that was a heel. Which was nothing like the Gemma I know, well I knew, but it didn't fit the story line that had been set for her unless she was to turn face with us?

She had removed her coat and tossed it aside with her goggles before she turned the corner of the ring and jumped to the curtain before making it to the top turnbuckle, she raised her arms and once again shouted as he music shouted 'hear me now'. She had definitely gotten a reaction from the crowd it was a mixture of boo's and cheers, which was a good thing. If she had gotten silence that would have ended badly.

She joined the other divas in the ring; they had pushed AJ Lee and Tamina into the middle of the ring before surrounding them. As the bell rang they all attacked her. It was hard not to miss her, her hair made her standout among the other divas. Watching her in the match brought back old memories of us, memories that I hadn't thought about it in a while. Along with that it brought back feelings for her but to be honest those feeling never left.

I watched as she cleaned the ring of all the divas, which left her. She ran to the far side of the ring bounced off the ropes and before reaching the other side she jumped over the top rope, rolling forwards and she took all of the divas off their feet, not before landing on her own two feet. She taunted the other divas before grabbing Nikki Bella by the hair and throwing her back into the ring looking for win.

1…2…

But Nikka got her shoulder up, Gemma looked frustrated and she lifted Nikka off the matt but Nikki reversed her lifting her onto her shoulder looking for her finished rack attack but Gemma kicked out and slid off her shoulders and bent her backwards and from what Michael Cole had said on commentary was she was setting up her finisher, Reverse of Fate. It was one thing Gemma always commented on, she loved the Hardy brothers and she had always said if she made it to the WWE she wanted her finisher to be a play on the twist of fate and looks like she got her wish. She swung Nikka's head around and planted her on the matt once again, and this time she used the rope to gain leverage with her feet.

1..2… but this time AJ Lee pulled her legs from the ropes causing her to fall and breaking up the count. AJ Lee jumped back into the ring and pushed Nikki out of the ring and she turned to face Gemma. She ran towards her but Gemma caught her and looked like she was going for a sidewalk slam but AJ countered with her submission finisher the Black widow. She twisted herself around Gemma and grabbing her arm and pulling right back. Gemma stood tall for a moment but she was fading fast, she slowly got closer and closer to the mat. Meanwhile outside the ring Tamina was making sure no one got anywhere near the ring. AJ Lee had managed to grab Gemma's hand and started taping it against her knee making it look like she tapping out to the move.

The bell rang out and AJ Lee's music started to play.

"Here's you winner by submission and still the divas champion AJ Lee" Lilian Garcia announced to the arena

The camera panned to show AJ Lee celebrating her win and a less than happy Vickie Guerrero but then it moved to show Gemma's face and she was not one bit happy.

For her debut match she showed and proved herself against the other divas. Even though I had missed a chunk of her career I still felt proud of what she had done. I seen flashes of her moves from ROH and even moves we had practised over and over. I needed to talk to her, but the one thing was would she want to speak to me? And if she did I had a feeling it wasn't going to be civil.

Gemma

I had just made it back to the divas locker room along with the other divas that had been in the match.

"That's was amazing" Nikki giggled as she started to unlace her shoes
"I know, I'm still on a high" Brie replied with the same excited giggle
"And you. For a newbie you have some good skill" Nikki smiled as she turned to hug me
"Amm thanks. I've been on the circuit for a while. Picked up a few things on the way" I grinned
"A few things? Girl you took the WWE universe back to the attitude era with that reverse twist of fate" Brie laughed,

I could see at the corner of my eye that Eva Marie was sulking in the corner. The word in NXT about her was not good, she had got the call up only after training for less than 3 months and it wasn't for her talent. From what I had seen of her on TV it wasn't good and I wasn't the only one who had noticed the fans had seen it too. The chants from the crowd tonight of "You can't wrestle" proved that.

"Eva what's stuck up your butt?" Nikki asked,
"Why are you guys complimenting her? I never got that on my first match?" Eva huffed as she folded her arms across her chest
"Well your first match was sloppy Hun, you nearly broke Alicia's neck" Nikka spoke sternly to her
"Ugh, whatever. I'm higher in the pecking order than her" she flashed me a fake smile
"Not for long" Brie sang in the background

Eva just glared at me as she grabbed her stuff from her suitcase and walked off in the direction of the showers.

"Ignore her Gem" Nattie said as she placed a comforting hand on my shoulder

I could tell that wouldn't be the last time I'd have to deal with Eva Marie.

I had done it, I had debuted at Wrestlemania and I have proved myself to the universe. The match had gone perfectly, and afterwards AJ Lee had complimenting me on the finish to the match and coming from her it was a big honour. I had left the arena after watching the main event and all I wanted to do was head back to the hotel and just relax for the night. I was supposed to meet Jon in the bar for drink but I texted him telling him that I was exhausted and all I wanted to do was curl up in bed and just veg out. But that wasn't going to happen by the look of it.

Just as I had gotten back to the room, I had gotten a visitor in the form of Nattie. She just wanted to catch up and see that life was going and my hopes for the future. I wanted to tell her about Colby but I thought the less people that knew that the better.

"Gem, don't worry about your storyline. I know its not the typical newbie diva storyline but its something different which means they must have long term plans for you" Nattie grinned as we both lay on my bed staring at the ceiling
"I'll try Nattie. You always know what to say to calm me down," I laughed
"Remember if you need to talk to someone, hang with and even travel with I'm always here" she smiled, as she lifted herself onto her elbow

She looked at her phone and frowned.

"Time just seems to get away from me. TJ's back in the room"
"It's okay Nattie. You go. I'm gonna call it a night anyway"

She rose from the back and hugged me before she left the room. I made my way over to my suitcase that I had set up on the dresser in the room, I grabbed my plaid pyjama bottoms and a ratty old a day to remember t-shirt and I quickly changed into them. Just as I was pulling my hair in a ponytail there was a knock on the door.

"What did you forget Nattie?" I laughed as I opened the door.

But it wasn't Nattie standing infront of me. It was Colby.
