I stood in the locker room pacing back and forth, our match is the main event. Honestly I'm nervous but will I show it? Absolutely not. I put in my headphones to drown everything out, I sat down leaning my head back and closed my eyes. After the third song ended a hand touched my leg, I jumped and looked to see Jeffrey already squatted down in front of me, I pulled the headphones out smiling at him,

Jeffrey:"You'll do fine babe, win or lose, I'm staying right here by your side."

I smiled more but it quickly faded,

Jeffrey:"Hey now, be happy baby. Just remember I believe in you."
Me:"Thank you.."

He pulled me forward kissing me slowly, I gripped the back of his neck as he pulled away,

Jeffrey:"Your match is next so be ready. Everyone is waiting."
Me:"E-everyone?"

He nodded as he chuckled,

Jeffrey:"Of course, you thought they would miss this? Not a chance, besides you'll never guess who is here."
Me:"Who?"
Jeffrey:"Jensen and Jared, they were already in town, every media site blew up about your fight with Rhonda, also Rob and his wife is here too, along with your father."

I smiled softly,

Me:"I guess ma didn't come?"

He sighed and shook his head no,

Jeffrey:"Danny said she couldn't watch you get hurt so Frank stayed behind to be with her but he will be watching."
Me:"Is the whole cast here?"
Jeffrey:"You know it sweetheart. Since Ryan is here he had Charlie, Kim and Tommy tag along who are fucking stoked for this fight."

I chuckled softly and looked up at the TV that hung on the wall,

Me:"You better head back to your seat babe, my match is about to start.."

Jeffrey pulled me up as he stood up, he pulled me close so I squeezed him tightly,

Jeffrey:"Be careful out there babe."
Me:"I won't let you down."
Jeffrey:"I know you won't. I love you so much."
Me:"I love you so much more, oh here."

We pulled away and I slid off my ring placing it in his hand,

Me:"Not allowed to wear it, to them it's a weapon."
Jeffrey:"Really? I'll hold onto it sweetheart, enjoy yourself out there."

We kissed once more and he left, a knock appeared and the door opened, I saw McGregor who smiled, I grabbed my gloves sliding them on,

McGregor:"You ready future champ?"

I couldn't help but laugh at that one, I nodded,

Me:"Born ready."
McGregor:"Let's roll."

I followed him through the hallway listening to Rhonda being announced. I jumped in place,

McGregor:"You got this, give it your all out there."
Me:"Yes sir."

He laughed and patted my shoulder,

McGregor:"I'll be watching with your family."
Me:"Do me a favor?"
McGregor:"Of course?"
Me:"Whatever happens to me out there keep Jeffrey in his seat."
McGregor:"You got it kid."

We hugged and he disappeared through the curtains.

Art:"Look at you kid!"
Me:"I couldn't tell Jeffrey or McGregor but I'm fucking nervous.."

Once Art was close enough he laid his hand on my shoulder,

Art:"Being nervous is a good thing, keeps your mind fresh for a lot of outcomes. All you can really do is your best out there, here take this you'll need it."
