Wrestling ONE SHOTS and IMAGINES

47 Adam Cole

As I was walking down the hallways backstage, mentally preparing myself for tonight, I suddenly heard this noise. It sounded as if someone was crying. I paused briefly to listen to where exactly the crying was coming from.

It did not take long until I found the source. There, barely visible behind the crates for the equipment, crouched Y/N. She had her arms wrapped tightly around her knees while her head rested on them. Her whole body was shaken again and again by loud sobs. It was a sight that would break anyone's heart.

"Hey Y/N. What's going on? Are you okay?" I asked, wanting to slap myself because she was clearly not okay. I crouched down next to her as she lifted her head and looked at me with tears streaming down her face.

"Oh hey Adam. I'm fine. I was just having a moment." she replied as she tried to wipe away her tears.

"Y/N, you're obviously not okay. I know we're not particularly close, but you can still talk to me. Or maybe you want me to go get Finn and Kyle?" I asked uncertainly.

"Those two are the last people in this world I wanted to see right now." muttered Y/N softly, new tears forming in her eyes.

"Why would you say that? I thought Finn was your boyfriend and Kyle is your best friend here. Come on, talk to me, I want to help you. No one should spend Valentine's Day crying," I said.

"Well that's what happens when you find out on Valentine's Day that your boyfriend is cheating on you. And even worse, if that's even possible, is the fact that Kyle knew all along and didn't tell me. Great best friend, really. Apparently his new alliance with Finn is more important to him than me," she whimpered.

I listened to her carefully and then put my arm around her shoulders. She put her head on my shoulder and I let her cry it out. It was hard for me to believe what she said. I always thought the two men were decent to women. I could hardly have been more wrong.

What Finn did was really bad and despicable. And I just couldn't believe that Kyle was covering for him. Kyle always insisted that Y/N was like a sister to him and that if someone hurt her, they would have to deal with him.

By the looks of it, things had changed and that only made me angrier. An idea came to my mind how I could punish the two of them. It was planned for the next few weeks anyway, so why not do it tonight. Here and now.

"I'm so sorry, Y/N. You don't deserve this. Why don't you go home? This is not the right place for you right now, sweetie," I said as I stroked her back soothingly.

"I can't just go home, Adam. I have a job to do. Even if I feel humiliated and betrayed. I can't afford to get fired." she replied quietly.

"I'll take care of it. All of it. I promise you have nothing to worry about. I'll talk to Hunter." I assured her calmly.

"I'll check in with you later to see how you're doing, okay?" I said afterwards.

"Okay. And thank you, Adam." said Y/N with a big sigh.

I immediately went to Hunter to tell him everything I had just heard. He had no problem with me telling Y/N to go home. Hunter knew as well as I did that it was the right thing to do. To my relief, he also agreed to move up the existing plans to tonight. But without the knowledge of Finn and Kyle. 

I still could not believe that Kyle would prefer Finn when it came to Y/N. As I left the office, I shook my head to sort out my thoughts and went on my way. It was hard not to let my anger and disappointment show as I entered the locker room.

Y/N POV

After I arrived home, I decided to take a long hot bath. Hoping it would relax me, but it didn't help. Nothing would help at the moment to distract me and relax. So I finally gave up and snuggled up on the couch in my pajamas and tried to distract myself as best I could by watching TV. But whatever I tried, nothing lasted long enough.
