My Friend The Asshole

Ten.

*THIS CHAPTER DID NOT GET EDITED*

The Hall of Fame ceremony, normally I'd be stoked for this night. But, since I'm not with John anymore there's no point of me being out in the audience with the talent. So instead I told Steph I would work backstage to make sure everyone looked flawless, and that's exactly what I was doing. I had Orton to my left waiting for a suit and Brie to my left needing makeup.

"Randy, let me guess, black?" I smiled as I walked to my rack.

"You know me so well, buttercup." He joked.

"Well here, go try this on and come out here so I can see it. I'm not letting you go out there again with a black suit and green socks!" I pointed at him before walking to Brie.

"Oh, how I love watching you cringe!!" Randy laughed walking into the bathroom.

"Okay Brie, what do you want me to do? Simple wing? Smokey eye? You tell me!"

"I was just thinking a little bit of mascara, I want to look natural." She explained looking in the mirror.

I nodded my head before grabbing a wand. It literally took me a minute to apply it and before I knew it I had more people lined up waiting for me to work my magic.

"Randy!! What's taking so long?" I knocked through the door getting impatient.

He opened the door and smiled down at me. Pulling him out of the bathroom I looked at him up and down. Sighing I reached up and removed his tie.

"You're Randy Orton, no ties!"

He laughed before giving me a quick hug and walking out the door. Suddenly Triple H came bursting through the door frantically. I looked at him with an eyebrow cocked. As we locked eyes he sighed and grabbed my wrist pulling me out of the room and down the hallway.

"What's going on?" I asked but he ignored me.

"It's Seth, there's an emergency."

"Oh my God, please don't tell me he stained that satin tux I got him, because that will take hours to get out and he has to be out there in-"

"Five minutes!!"

Without another word Hunter pushed me into a room where Seth was standing looking out the window. I walked over to him and looked out the window as well.

"What's the emergency?" I asked quietly.

"Uh, Trips said I can't go out there alone, apparently the future of the WWE needs to be unavailable. I figured if anyone was going to be my date it's going to be the woman I'm in love with." He smiled.

"Seth, I don't have a dress. I can go get someone else, Paige doesn't have a date.." I trailed off feeling bad.

"That's the thing, I don't want Paige, or anyone else for the matter. I want you," He moved slightly exposing a beautiful black dress setting on the bed, "I knew what size you were and I found this gem down in the diva's locker room."

I stared at it in awe. It was easily the most beautiful dress I'd ever seen. I walked over and picked it up holding it close to me.

"Colby, it's gorgeous!" I praised.

"Then go put it on, we've gotta be on the carpet in two minutes!!"

-

"Hello Mr. Rollins, how are you this evening?" I heard Renee ask.

"I'm fine, just waiting the arrival of my beautiful date." He smiled.

I blushed as I still stood backstage. I knew I should have already been out there, but I couldn't get myself to move. For years I did this with John and now it's like I'm completely starting over with someone else.

"You aren't going to keep the boy waiting all night are you?" I heard Stephanie ask as she walked up beside me.

"I don't know if I can do it Steph.. I mean it hasn't been that long since I left John. People are going to talk about me." I tried not to cry.

"Listen, I'm going to give you advice my mother gave me when I was young. If people are talking about you, it means you're doing something right. Wouldn't you rather them talk about how strong you are for leaving him rather than how weak you would have been for staying?"

I nodded my head and wrapped my arms around Stephanie, "You know for a bad guy, you're a really good person."

"I don't like to see friends cry." She smiled as she gave me a reassuring smile.

With a big breath I walked my way out to Renee and Seth. Many people smiled at me but I kept my fierce face on. As I walked right past John and Leighla I smirked at them slightly showing they couldn't control my life.

"Sorry I'm late." I smiled as Renee and Seth turned around.

Seth mouth hung open as he looked over me. Blushing I brought him in for a quick kiss before turning my attention to Renee.

"Hello Renee, how are you?"

"I'm well, how are you?" She smiled.

"I'm perfect, thank you for asking."

"Seth, any word?" Renee chuckled.

"I'm sorry, I'm just speechless because I knew I had the hottest date tonight but I had no idea she cleaned up this well." Seth smiled down at me.

I placed my hand on his chest and chuckled, "Stop kissing ass."

He and Renee laughed at the same causing me to laugh as well.

"Nova, do you mind if I ask what happened to you and your husband?"

I thought for a moment, I could wreck his entire life right here in front of all these people. Looking over my shoulder I saw John talking to Byron Saxton with that famous Cena smile. As I turned back to Renee with a smile on my face I spoke, "Things don't always go as planned. John and I both came to a conclusion that our marriage wasn't for the best, so we decided the thing to do was to split up. There's no hard feelings, we're just done. People get divorced. But people move on as well."

I felt Seth's arm wrap around my waist as he pulled me closer.

"Well, I'm glad you two have a civil understanding. Thank you for your time."

"Thank you." I hugged her lightly.

Without another word we went in our different directions, Seth and I to our seats and Renee to where ever. But I couldn't help but feel the tension Seth was feeding off. Scooting close to him I wrapped my arm around his and laid my head against his shoulder.

"Don't be angry." I spoke softly.

"I just don't understand why you did it. Why you lied." He shook his head not even looking at me.

"It's not worth it Colby. If I would have told the truth it would have just backfired. John is a lot of things, but he doesn't deserve to have his entire world on blast just because he's a fuck up."

Seth nodded before the lights went dim and Jerry Lawler walked on stage. This was definitely going to be a long night...
