One Shots || Wrestler edition || CLOSED

(Request) Always - Dolph Ziggler x OC

First off, nemracdz2 thank you so much for being so patient. I'm sorry for the long wait but I didn't manage to get any writing done last week. I really appreciate you being so patient while waiting for this one shot.

Like I had mentioned in my last story review in my review book I did not have a great week last week. Work kept me busy, I had a migraine attack, the support beam of my bed had rot in it and ended up breaking and to top it all off one of my pet rats, Twist, fell ill as well.

I have currently seen a vet and my pet rat Twist has gotten antibiotics for what we suspect is a middle ear infection. The support beam of my bed has also been fixed by a dear family friend free of charge and this week also shouldn't be as busy when it comes to work.

To make up for the long wait I wrote a longer chapter for you than I normally would. Your request also contained more than enough info to make it this long.

I hope you like the one shot, enjoy.❤️

Carmen Pov,

To say I was shocked would be an understatement. I had just received a DM on Instagram from the person I least expected to have messaged me ever again.

It was my childhood friend who was known under his wrestling name Dolph Ziggler. I however, knew him as Nick Nemeth.

Nick and I had been very close while growing up. We were two parts of a big puzzle. He always managed to make me smile with how positive he was. He was a great guy and of course I ended up falling head over heels for him.

Me falling for him had always felt inevitable to me. It was bound to happen. Which was why it hurt even more when he ended up picking his career over me.

It happened quite a while ago, back when I was 19 and he was 23.

I was in my first year of college but was struggling. I had always been insecure and I ended up having an anxiety disorder. Nick was aware that I sometimes felt insecure but I never did tell him how deep those insecurities went.

Nick was about to graduate college with a degree in political science and a minor in pre-law. He had been accepted into law school in Arizona, something everyone was very proud of. I had been planning on transferring to a college near his university so that we could keep hanging out but that all never happened as he was invited for a WWE-tryout.

I knew it had been his dream to become a professional wrestler ever since he was 12 years old so of course, I was happy for him. However, I was also sad about losing my closest friend. I didn't plan on telling him any of it though as I never wanted to hold him back.

Nick however, knew me like the back of his hand. He noticed that something was up with me and he kept asking. He asked me about it for weeks until I gave in and told him.

I told him about how my anxiety had gotten worse and actually really needed his friendship and support and that I really didn't want him to leave me.

It turned into a huge argument and he ended up choosing his career.

Currently I was doing much better. After years of intensive therapy, I was now able to control my anxiety much better. I didn't regret telling Nick the truth but I did regret that our friendship fell apart with a fight.

Which is why it surprised me to see that he had messaged me, I thought he never wanted to speak to me again.

I couldn't do it to myself to ignore the message so I opened it. The message contained just 5 simple words but I immediately knew something was off. The Nick I knew was never this serious and never got straight to the point as he liked to joke around.
