Here's the next chapter.

Celeste, April and I arrive in Wyoming ready for another week. "Are you excited to start our feud?" April asks me.
"Extremely, it'll be fun to see what everyone thinks of it." I respond.
"It will." Celeste agrees.
"Any advice?"
"You won't know until you're out there but just go out there and have fun." Celeste advises.
"Also the fans are going to see a different side of you, a more confident and violent side, which will be great for your character." April adds.
"And Payback is in Seattle." Celeste reminds me. "Are you excited to be going back to your hometown?"
"I am, I haven't been back since I moved to Tampa, so it will be exciting to see my family."
"You still have family over there?" April asks.
"Yeah my Aunt and Uncle still live there and I have several cousins similar in age, so it will be good to see them again."
Later that day Celeste, April and I head to the mall to spend a little money. "Have you found a dress for Natties wedding?" Celeste asks.
"I have. I'm having it delivered to Nattie's." I respond.
"Are you bringing a date?" April asks.
"Nope."
"So you're going to be the one that catches the bouquet aren't you?" Celeste jokes.
"When it comes to competitions, I'm front and centre." I say laughing.
"We heard Randy hassled you the other day." Celeste mentions.
"He did, the night of Extreme Rules, but I gave him a new one." I confirm.
"It's good to see you aren't falling for his tricks." April praises.
"Everyone warned me about him. And I knew he was trouble from the get go." I respond. "It also helps that I have someone around me most of the time."
"Like Colby?"
"Oh stop."
"What it's true." Celeste chuckles.
"Stop both of you." I pout.
After a day out in town, we head back to the hotel and get ready for dinner with the girls. I'm wearing one a long sleeve black lace mini dress with peach peep toe pumps.
We get to the lobby and most of the ladies are waiting for us. A few minutes later everyone arrives and we head out. "So how's the wedding planning going Nattie?" Brie asks.
"I'm getting a little nervous but I trust my wedding planner." Nattie answers. "Oh and Serena, TJ called, a package arrived for you."
"Oh, good it's here." I reply.
"What is it?"
"My dress for the wedding."
"What's it look like?" Brie asks.
I get out my phone and scroll through my photos. "See for yourself." I respond showing them the dress.
"That's beautiful." Nattie compliments. "You'll look great."
"Not as pretty as you." I retort.
We get to the restaurant and get escorted to our table. There are several bottles of wine already set up on the table and it looks like it's going to be a good night. After ordering food we talk some more and our meals arrive. We down them quickly and are ready for the next stage of the night. Dancing!
We arrive at the nightclub and are escorted to a VIP section. "I haven't had this much fun in ages." I shout to Brie who is next to me.
"You mean Extreme rules and a couple nights ago." She reminds me laughing.
"Shush, in my defence I can't actually remember but I'm pacing myself tonight."
"Your storyline starts tomorrow right?"
"It does, and I'm really excited about my it, I get to work with April and Celeste, and the fans get to see a more serious and determined Sarah."
"I think everyone is looking forward to seeing it."
I smile. "Thank you."
"For what?"
"For being a great friend and for letting me follow you around and teaching me things, I don't feel like a newbie anymore."
"In our eyes you aren't."
The next day Celeste, April and I arrive at the arena and head straight to a meeting with Mark, Stephanie and Jane. We arrive and April knocks on the door. Mark answers it. "Morning ladies." He greets.
"Hi Mark." We greet.
"Come in." He says stepping aside.
We step inside and see Vince, Stephanie, Paul and Mark. "Morning ladies." They all greet.
"Hi." We greet.
"We called you three in regarding the match at Payback." Vince addresses us.
"It's going to be a triple threat match for the Divas Championship." Paul announces.
"Tonight, AJ will begin in the ring, where she will be confronted by Kaitlyn, and shortly after that, Sarah will come out and announce the match." Mark explains.
"Each week we will have segements or matches involving three of you, which will amp up the match for Payback." Stephanie adds.
We all nod. "Here's the script for tonight, read over it, branch ideas off each other and make it look good." Paul says handing it over.
"That's all for now ladies." Vince concludes. "Good luck for tonight."
We stand up to leave. "Serena can you come back for a minute?" Mark stops me.
"Sure." I accept and Celeste and April leave. I sit back down and glance at the four people across from me. "You wanted to speak to me?"
"Yes." Stephanie answers.
"We did some further investigating on your stalker and we have an ID." Vince announces.
I look up at them shocked. "Who?"
"Do you know anyone named Adam Bright?" Paul asks me.
As soon as I hear that name I freeze. "Serena, are you okay?" Stephanie asks concerned.
"I know him." I whisper starting to breath heavily. This isn't good.
"How?" Vince asks.
I take a deep breath. "I went to high school with him, he was a couple years older then me. I haven't heard that name in years."
"Were you lovers?" Stephanie asks me.
I pause. "No. We were aquaintances."
"Dad, Paul, and Mark mind if I talk to Serena alone?" Stephanie asks them and they nod and leave the room. Once they leave Stephanie turns to me. "Tell me everything."
I sigh. "Adam was my best friends older brother." I begin. "One night, there was this party and there was drinking and long story short I lost my virginity." I say, only telling her half the truth.
"Keep going, take your time." She encourages.
"A few days after that night it all turned down hill. People were whispering about me. Apparently Adam told everyone about what happened and people were calling me horrible names." I explain further. "My best friend kicked me out so I lived on the streets for a period of time."
"What happened with Adam?"
"I don't know. I cut everyone out of my life after that. I moved on and started living my life." I reply. "But it's like he's still trying to have some sort of power over me." I guess. "When your dad said his name everything just came flooding back."
"Is there a reason why he would be wanting to scare you now?"
I shake my head. "I have no idea."
"Well now that we know it's him we can further investigate." She advises. "Security is going to be tighter now. If you go out anywhere, you have to be with someone at all times, even if it's to the supermarket."
"Okay."
"Now that's all from me, but remember I'm here if you need me."
"Thanks Steph, for everything."
I walk into the locker room. "What did they want?" April asks me.
"They found out who my stalker is." I announce.
"Omg, who is it?" Celeste asks.
"Remember me telling you about the guy I lost my virginity?" I ask and they both nod. "It's him."
"Omg, are you okay?" April asks.
"I feel better now that I know who it is."
"We are here for you." Brie assures from behind me.
"Thanks." I smile thankfully.
I head to hair and make-up after I drop off my things. Tonight my hair is in curls and my make-up is a bit bolder. For my outfit tonight, I'm wearing a dark blue velvet croptop with a high waisted denim skirt, paired with black knee high boots.
On my way to the gorilla I bump into Colby. "Hey Colby." I greet.
He grins. "Hey haven't seen you in a while."
I laugh. "You saw me a couple nights ago."
"It's been too long."
"I found out who my stalker is." I blurt out.
"Who?" he asks serious.
"Someone from my past but now that I know who it is I can be on the look out."
"As I told you last night I'm here if you need."
"I appreciate it Colby." I say smiling just as Randy comes around the corner and growls. "Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed."
Colby laughs. "You good?"
"Yeah i'm good." I chuckle.
I arrive at the gorilla and April and Celeste are already there. "Where have you been?" Celeste asks.
"Ran into Colby." I answer.
"Did you now?" April grins.
"Walking home with him a few nights ago, bumping into each other, seems like you have it bad." Celeste continues teasing.
"Oh shut up."
"Someone's blushing." April teases.
I glare at them but all that comes out is a laugh. "You ready?" I ask changing the topic.
"Yes. Are you ready to kill this storyline?" Celeste asks.
"Born ready.".
AJ walks out and down the ramp to loud boos from the crowd with her title around her waist. "Here's comes the new Divas Champion." JBL announces excitedly.
AJ gets in the ring and grabs a microphone as her music dies. The crowd continue to boo her and she smiles. "I hate to say I told you so, but I'm going to do it again anyway, I won." she says gleefully and the fans boo thunderously. "How about I remind you how I beat Kaitlyn last week?" AJ suggests and everyone turns to the screen and watches the recap of the match from Extreme rules.
The crowd hate it as she stands there smiling. "AJ LEE is loving this." Cole remarks.
"Michael, thats our Divas Champion, watch your tone." JBL scolds.
"I'm the Divas Champion and I'm the best Divas Champion in history." AJ declares and the crowd boo and her smile gets wider. "I beat Kaitlyn and now I am unstoppable and no one can beat me." AJ says boldly. "I've earned this title and now that it's around my waist, it's never going to leave it." AJ exclaims.
She is about to continue when Kaitlyn's music cuts her off and the crowd erupt as Kaitlyn walks out angrily. "Here comes the former chamoion." Jerry announces.
"Shut up AJ." Kaitlyn shouts as her music dies and the crowd cheers. "You won, congratulations, but you did it the dirty way." Kaitlyn addresses as she makes her way down the ramp. "You manipulated me, made fun of me, used my personal life for your own gain and it sucked, but you see that's not going to happen again, because at Payback I'm going to do the thing I needed to do in the first place."
"And what is that Kaitlyn?" AJ asks laughing.
"That's kick your ass." Kaitlyn shouts and the crowd cheers loudly.
AJ starts chuckling. "Oh Kaitlyn you tried, but you just couldn't do it." AJ teases as the crowd boo. "When are you going to get it, you can't and you never will, and there is no other diva in that locker room that can."
That's when my music starts up. "Wait a minute. What's Sarah doing out here?" Cole asks loudly.
I stand at the top of the ramp as the crowd erupts. "This place just came unglued." JBL exclaims.
My music dies and the crowd chant "Sarah, Sarah, Sarah."
I begin to laugh as the two divas stare up at me from the ring. "Did I just hear you correctly AJ?" I ask laughing. "Let me get this right; you're the best Divas Champion in history, you'll never lose it and lastly no one can beat you?" I list off. "AJ, those three things that you just said are complete bullshit." I disagree and the crowd "oohs." loudly and cheers. "You see I'm confused because I don't know if that crazy mind of yours knows, but you've only been champion for a week, so how does that make you the best in history?" I question and she starts to get angry. "Keep your panties on AJ." I tease and I can tell I'm getting to her. "Oh and another thing, you'll never lose it. I hate to be the barer of bad news, but that's a bit unfortunate because I have some news for everyone here."
"I wonder what she's going to announce." Jerry wonders.
"You see it's not just you two that are going to be competing for the title at Payback, there's going to be a one more person added to that match." I announce and the crowd get loud. "That's right, it's going to be Kaitlyn, AJ and me, for the Divas Championship." I declare as the crowd burst on their feet loudly.
"This place just exploded." JBL shouts.
The two divas in the ring are fuming. "Hold on, hold on, why do you get a title shot? You don't deserve it, you can't beat me." AJ asks coldly.
"Ah actually AJ, I can and I have." I retort.
"I don't care if it is a triple threat or fatal four way, I am getting my title back." Kaitlyn responds.
"We will just have to wait and see about that, because at Payback we will see who really is the best Diva here." I reply. "AJ, you may play some good mind games and Kaitlyn you have a mighty spear, but ladies I can easily beat both of your asses." I exclaim. "At Payback, there is going to be a new queen at the top, so good luck because you're going to need it."
