AUSTIN'S POV

As soon as we touched down in Chicago, Katelyn and I were accosted by the media. News broke when we were flying over Tennessee that Katelyn's divorce had been finalized and that she was now a single woman. She had a whole host of people, even celebrities, sending her well wishes. We had made Hunter agree to give us until after Survivor Series to come out as a couple, mainly because we didn't know how Drew was going to take the news and with me having a match with him at the PPV, the company didn't want a murder live on the Internet.
'Katelyn, what are your thoughts on your divorce being finalized?'
'Who will get custody of your son?'
'Is Adam the reason for your split?' The questions came thick and fast as we tried to navigate our way out of the main concourse to where our car was waiting to take us to the venue. Katelyn stopped suddenly and held her hand up.
'Guys, I will be making an official statement in the coming days. Until then, I request that you respect my privacy and leave me alone. Thank you.' She grabbed my hand and led us to the exit, through the automatic doors, and to a car where a driver was standing, holding a card that said 'Jenkins & Moore.' I chuckled as I slid into the backseat, after helping the driver with our bags. When I climbed in beside her, I pulled Katelyn into my side, her head lolled on my shoulder, and laced our fingers together.
'You think that was Hunter's idea?' I asked her.
'What? The sign? Probably.' We were quiet on the rest of the journey from the airport to the venue. We both got out of the car at the arena, Roddy and Kyle were waiting for us.
'Sup guys?' I greeted them.
'You might wanna head to the hotel,' Roddy began. 'Drew is in Vince's office right now, screaming and yelling, threatening to quit because he's been told he's facing you at Survivor Series. Kyle overheard him say that he's going to destroy everything you love because he has it in his head that you asked for this match.'
'He wouldn't dare do anything,' came Tomasso Ciampa's voice from behind Roddy. Tomasso stepped around the guys and hugged Katelyn. 'We all have your back, baby girl. I'm so sorry that this has happened to you, but know that the entire NXT locker room is behind you 100 per cent.'
'Thanks Tom,' Katelyn unfurled her arms from around Tomasso's waist and kissed him on the cheek, causing him to blush. There was a cough from behind us. Katelyn and I both turned to see Sasha standing, hand on hip, smirking.
'I hear you've been cleared to wrestle again. Don't think I won't try and end your career again because I will,' Sasha snarled. 'You don't belong here sweetie and the sooner you realize that, the better.' She thought for a second. 'Saying that, I see you've latched on to dumbass Cole here. Maybe I'll fuck him like I fucked Drew.' Everything happened so quickly. Katelyn launched herself on Sasha, tackling her to the ground, where the two rolled around on the asphalt and started fighting. Tomasso and I sprang into action to separate them, I got kicked in the groin by Katelyn and Tomasso got bitten by Sasha. With my arms firmly around Katelyn's middle, I picked her up and walked her into the venue, Roddy leading the way. Only when we were safely in our locker room did I put Katelyn back on the ground.
'Why did you have to stop me?' Katelyn shouted at me. 'I could've taken her. I ain't scared of that skank. She was shooting her mouth and saying shit that had no place in her mouth. How dare she say shit about how she fucked Drew? Who does she think she is?'
'Are you done?' I yelled, causing Katelyn to flinch, which made me feel terrible. 'Do you want to get fired? Chances are Vince will have heard about your little fight and will be wondering if it's a good idea even to have you here.' I saw Katelyn's face fall at my words and she quickly turned heel and ran out of the locker room, slamming the door behind her. I stood in the middle of the locker room, taking a couple of deep breaths, not wanting to let my emotions get the better of me.
'Well done, Jackass,' Roddy said. 'Go after her.' I tore after her and found her a few moments later, getting into the car that we arrived in.
'Katelyn wait,' I shouted. She turned to me, tears pouring down her face.
'What Austin?' She snapped.
'Where are you going?' I asked, climbing in beside her. I tried to reach across and place my hand in hers, but she moved them away from her lap. 'Can you take us to the hotel please driver?' The driver nodded at me in his rearview mirror.
