I woke up next to Jeremiah with a big stretch. He must've been warm because he now he was shirtless, even though he went to bed a In a shirt. I looked around the room letting my eyes adjust to the light, when finally I was able to focus on the clock that stood on my bedside "shit!" I sprung out of bed and threw on some gym gear before grabbing my bag, keys, phone and water. "What's up baby?" Jeremiahs voice thick and tired "I'm late... my alarm didn't go off." "It did...You were too peaceful to disturb" I stopped at the foot of the bed and looked at my boyfriend "that's not your decision, I have a class in ten minutes, I need to set up! Me sleeping in is now is not the most perfect timing Jere!" I rolled my eyes and huffed before leaving the bedroom.
"IZ! I need you to get in the car now please!!" She walked in holding her cat "why?" "Because Jeremiah shut off my alarm and now I'm late. Either you need to drive me, or you need to sit with me, I'm still a learner, remember." She sighed "give me a second, I need to feed scrappy" when she came back out I ran to the parking garage "nope you're not driving in a rush. My car passenger side" Izzy shouted at me as I ran toward my car, which still had a learners plate on it. I rushed over to her car and sat down "Drive iz!! I have 5 minutes" my leg was tapping like crazy and I was struggling to stay calm.
We got there within 3 minutes and Isabelle helped me set up, I opened the doors to the centre and a mass of children ages 10-16 entered with their parents "Okay sign in at the front office and then make your way toward the sparring floor"
*time skip*
"Well done everyone! Okay now who wants to see if they can beat me in a 1 on 1 match" I looked at the children around me until one of them raised their hand "Cory... okay" we assumed our starting points and I held my hand out waiting for someone to shout 'go'. Alyssa, One of my younger students shouted for us to begin and I stood waiting for him to attack. Soon enough he ran at me and I dodged his first few attacks until he made contact with me, I stumbled back slightly before swinging for him. He dodged and went to kick me, I grabbed his ankle, twisting I slightly and pulling him over my head onto the mat. I grabbed his arm and pulled it upward while placing my foot on his back. Almost immediately he tapped out and I helped him up "good that was really good, you're learning more. You're stronger yeah bud." I tapped his shoulder and grabbed him a bottle of water. He stood in line with the others and I turned back to then "anyone else up for the challenge" I looked around again only this time I noticed someone stood filming me in the window "hey!" No movement, I walked over and tapped on the glass and they just carried on walking like nothing. I didn't recognise them from what I could see, they were tall and wore a black hood. I turned back around toward my class "I'm just kidding, okay you all did great today, take care!"
There was a few more classes in varying ages and by the time it reached 7PM I was exhausted, I walked around the centre, switching off the lights in every room I passed, locking the door behind me. There had been a few new signups today which was strange seeing people joining now as they never usually do but, better luck with business. I called Isabelle to come pick me up and 10 minutes later she arrived.
It took her 10 minutes to get to me due to traffic complications, I opened the passenger side door to find a wide grin staring at me. "What?" I asked, closing the door behind me. "You've gone viral" she said handing me her phone, it was the video of me sparring with the kids and me springing myself over Cole during our 1 on 1. I pulled my phone from my bag and looked for the original post and after a while of searching I stumbled across it. The post read "help me find their @ they're a really great fighter!!" There I scrolled to see my tag everywhere in the comments. I scrolled upwards to the account, the Instagram account read @Rhearipley_WWE and it was a verified person. I clicked on her profile to find that she was a superstar in NXT I watched WWE as a kid but hadn't watched it in a while. "Iz...Izzy....IZZY! Enough please!" I stopped her from bragging that she's friends with someone who was being looked at by a famous athlete.
The drive home was silent after I had shouted, I shouldn't have but I couldn't help it, there was too much going on in my head and I loved Izzy but sometimes she just doesn't shut up. I grabbed my bags from the backseat and headed upstairs to our apartment, I went straight to my room, to find it empty. It was strange, Jeremiah had work but he's always home before me, even if he goes to the gym afterwards. "Trav! Where's Jeremiah!" I shouted from my room, he came in "haven't seen him all day, he went to work, hasn't come back." I looked around a little more, his keys were gone, so was his car. I called him, no answer, so I called his office, still no answer. I called his mom to see if she knew where he was "hi Jess! Oh no nothing's wrong, yes it's Syd. I'm just wondering, has Jeremiah spoken to you today, he hasn't come home from the office... he's doing a project with who?" "He said with a girl" my stomach dropped upon her words "w-which girl.." anger pulsed though my veins and I tried to stay as calm as possible, for his mother's sake "Stacy Michelson, that's who he said" disappointment crossed over me "Oh yeah and Josh as well, he said he was going with Josh Patton" I let out a sigh of relief, Josh and I had been friends since childhood so I knew he wouldn't lie to me. "Okay thanks Jess, bye, bye" I ended the call and scrolled through my contact landing on "joshuaaaaaa" I called him and after letting it ring he picked up "yelloo" "Josh! Sorry I- is Jeremiah there" "No, sorry, I haven't seen him for a while" "s-so he hasn't been there all day? "No sorry. Is something wrong?" "No it's okay, thanks anyway" I said ending the call, my tears rolling down my face as I bit my hand so no one could hear me. Anger overcame me "he's a fucking liar!" I threw my phone at my wall and watched it fall, no cracks were apparent on the screen and Isabelle and Travis ran in. "Syd what's wrong?" "HES A FUCKING LIAR!" "Who!" Izzy shouted, grabbing my arms "JEREMIAH!" I clutched my hair and began to collapse, tears streaming down my face. Izzy brought me into a tight hug and we just sat there while I shook. Click. It was the front door, it was Jeremiah..
