Ayla [A WWE Multiverse]

Chapter 61

"She spoke any?" Shawn asked as Hunter descended the stairs, walking into the living room.

Hunter shook his head as he sat beside Shawn, his hands supporting his head. Shawn patted the back of Hunter, trying to calm him down.

"It's okay" Shawn said.

"It's been 5 days, Shawn. She doesn't even want to talk to me. None of us. She's sitting on her bed all day, barely even ate anything, staring at the wall. She is like a living dead, Shawn. I'm really worried of her" Hunter said, letting out a heavy sigh.

"I know, I'm worried of her too. But you mustn't given up. You need to stay strong for her" Shawn said.

"I know, Shawn. But she needs to talk to me for me to help her. She needs to help me out. She doesn't even want to look at me" Hunter said, tears forming at the edge of his eyes.

Shawn sighed. "Look, she's been through a lot in her life. She's seen too much of pain beyond her age in her past. She's lived the worst life a human could ever live."

"Wait, what are you saying? What past? I don't understand?" Hunter said.

"I don't know what she's told you about her past but I don't want to tell you about it either. It's not for me to tell. Just all that I could say is, she needs you more than you need her. Be with her, alright? Don't leave her alone" Shawn patted Hunter's back, giving him a small smile.

"I gotta go now. My flight is in another hour" Shawn got up.

"You want me to drop you?" Hunter asked, standing up as well.

"Nahh, I'm good. Let me just say goodbye to her first" Shawn said, making his way upstairs.

He pushed open her room door, sighing as he saw her laid flat on the bed, the teddy bear that Jesse got her on her birthday was in her hands. He made his way to the bed, with Hunter staying at the door, closing it behind him. Hunter leaned against the wall as he watched Shawn approach her.

"Sweetheart?" Shawn called out, running his hand through her hair. He sighed when there was no reaction. Her eyes were wide open but were fixed outside the window.

"I'm going back to Orlando right now. I just came to see you before I go" Shawn said. Still, no reaction was there.

"Whatever it is, I want you to know that I'm here if you need anything. I'll do anything for you. We all do. We all love you so much, okay?" Shawn said, kissing her forehead. He brought her into a hug although she didn't hug back. He patted her head, reassuring that everything was gonna be okay.

"I'll see you around" Shawn looked at her who didn't look up at him. Her eyes were fixed on the bed below her. Shawn sighed before placing her back on the bed, putting her arm around the teddy bear. He patted her head for one last time before making his way towards the door.

"I'll see you around, Hunter" Shawn said. "Don't give up on her" He whispered before closing the room door behind him as he made his way out of the house.

Hunter sighed. It hurts him to see her like this. Like a lifeless body. She hardly ever reacted for the past five days. No matter how much he tried to talk to her, she wouldn't even look at his way. He had no idea why she was like this, but he really wanted to help. His day felt incomplete without talking to her, without looking at her smile. As though he had the most boring life in the world.

All the others left the day after SummerSlam. Taker was the last one to leave yesterday before Shawn. All of them tried to cheer her up in many ways, all the ways they could think of but Ayla didn't budge, not even a little bit. They all tried to motivate her, giving the best they could but up to no avail. Even Taker, Kev and Shawn wasn't able to bend her. Hunter gave them space to try cheer her up since they know her more than he does. He did try a few times a day but it was all useless.
