A/N: I only own the OC
Thank you for reviewing.
I was standing next to Tony at the after game party, and I was faking it as I kept sipping on drinks. I didn't care anymore. Max had kissed me, Michael was currently harassing me, and Daniel had just told me it was my fault that I got cheated on. I didn't give a flying fuck at the moment. I was on Tony's arm as we walked to the players, important people from the city, and anyone who paid enough to be there.
"Are you alright?" Tony asked me and I nodded.
"Yeah, just lot of shit going on right now." I said and he chuckled.
"I'm going to say it has something to do with one of my superstars brooding in the corner." he said and I glanced to see Daniel standing at a table with some players, but looking grumpy as fuck.
"You know it." I said and he shook his head.
"Why don't you take a few days off when we get back?" he said and I shrugged.
"Probably not the worst idea." I said and he chuckled.
"Trust me, Rae, it is the best idea right now. I don't want my wrestlers running you off." he said and I chuckled.
"Thanks." I said as we started talking to more players.
We got done and were flying out that night. We already had our luggage at the plane. I climbed into a seat in the back and pulled a blanket over me. I wanted to be left alone. I had spent the last few hours trying not to cry.
"Rae?" someone asked me and I looked up to see Daniel standing there. He looked like he wanted to say something, but also didn't know what to say.
"Either sit or walk the fuck away." I growled at him. He slowly sank into the seat. I pulled my knees up to my chest and turned away from me. He was the first and last person I wanted to see right now. I couldn't hold it anymore. I buried my head in the blanket as the tears began to cascade down my face. I was trying to keep quiet as I felt my body start to shake. I was glad we were taking off so maybe no one would notice.
Daniel POV
I was sitting next to Rae. I felt absolutely horrible at what I had said when I saw Max kiss her. I was instantly jealous and I handled it completely wrong. I watched as she buried herself in her blanket, and began to sob. I could see her shaking as the plane took off. I waited until it finished taking off, and instantly pulled her into my lap. She didn't fight it as I held her to my chest. I felt worse as I felt my shirt get wet from her tears. I didn't say anything because I had been a completely ass. I held her, and hoped she could feel how stupid and sorry I felt right now.
She eventually stopped shaking and I looked down to see her sleeping on my chest. I reclined my seat, tightened my grip on her. kissed her forehead and closed my eyes. I wish we could all go back a few hours and change things. I woke up a few hours later to Rae moving. She carefully climbed back into her seat and I sat up. She looked at me.
"I didn't mean to wake you." she said and pulled the blanket back around her.
"It's ok. I deserve it." I said and she didn't say anything.
"I am so sorry, Rae." I said and she finally looked at me. She had puffy red eyes, her cheeks were slightly swollen, and her hair was a mess... she was beautiful to me.
"I think we need to take time apart as friends." she said and I sighed. I didn't want to, but I knew that she was right.
AJ POV
I was waiting outside the Burbank Airport for Rae. She had called me upset and I told her to come out here. She needed a change of scenery from Florida and all the men who wanted to be in her life. I had told Phil and he was going on the road for a few days so he thought it was great idea. She came out with her luggage and I instantly hugged her.
"Thank you for letting me come out here." she said as we walked to my car.
"Anytime. I want you to be ok." I said and she smiled at me. She really was my sister at this point.
We drove to our condo and she got settled in. I told her to grab her swimsuit and we would lay out. She came out a few minutes later in her swimsuit and we went down to the pool area. I could tell that she just needed some time.
Rae POV
I was thankful for AJ. She had let me come to the west coast to figure out what the fuck I was doing in life. We had laid around, gone to the beach, and gone to San Diego. I was thankful for the week Tony had given me off. Max, Michael, and Daniel were all still texting me. Max and I understood that was no ok, and he apologize. He didn't want to lose a friend. Michael was still stuck on getting me back. Daniel had only texted once to say he missed me. I honestly didn't know how I felt about any of them except Max. I didn't want to lose him as a friend, because he had actually become a good friend.
AJ had a meeting so I was laying down by the pool. I had actually started reading a book on the plane, and I hadn't read a book in a long time. I loved it. I was reading as two guys were in the pool. I wasn't paying attention to them when someone yelled heads up. I looked up to see a football coming at me. I managed to catch it before it hit my face. I threw it back and went back to reading.
"Excuse me?" a voice said a little bit later. I looked up to see one of the guys in front of me that had been playing in the pool.
"Hi." I said back and he smiled at me.
"Nice catch earlier." he said and I smiled.
"It was all luck." I said as he chuckled.
"I didn't mean to bother you while you were reading, but I wanted to see if I could take you out for a drink later." he said and I was kind of shocked at this. I never expect anyone to notice me.
"Can I at least know your name?" I asked him and he flushed red as he chuckled.
"Yeah, I'm Shaun." he said and I smiled at him. It was very obvious he was in great shape, and had amazing blue eyes.
"I'm Rae, and yeah, I would like to get a drink later." I said and he smiled at me. We were exchanging numbers when AJ walked out.
"Hey Shaun, I see you met Phil's sister." she said and and I smirked. He looked surprised as I nodded.
"Yeah, I did and she's getting a drink with me tonight." he said as AJ smirked at me.
"You can find her at our place." Aj said and he smiled at me.
"Great, I will see you at 7." he said and kissed the back of my hand before hugging AJ and leaving.
"I leave you alone for 5 minutes and you got another wrestler hitting on you." she said and my smile went straight to a confused look.
"Wrestler?" I asked her.
"Yeah, he's LA Knight for WWE right now." she said and I nodded.
"I don't care what he is... he's nice to look at." I admitted and she chuckled. I couldn't believe that even thousand's of miles away from my home where i had plenty of wrestlers to deal with... another one finds me.
