Work

I'm at work, this is my ring gear:

I just had a match against Bianca Belair and I won thanks to Io and Bayley, Bayley distracted the ref while Io handed me my championship and I hit Bianca with it and I won.

I was walking down the hallway when I seen Stephen and Peter looking for someone, "Who are you looking for?" A man asked them "Charlie, have you seen her?" Stephen asked "You won't have to look far, what's going on?" I asked as I walked up to them "You need to help Andrew" Peter said "Why what's wrong?" I asked "Carmella is beating him up because he won against R-Truth" Stephen said, "Seriously?" I asked them and they nodded, they walked me to the gorilla, "Play my music" I told the tech guy, he nodded and my music played, I ran out to the ring, once I rolled into the ring I took my title off my waist and I attacked Carmella, the referee's that were out here trying to get Carmella off of Andrew are now trying to get me off of Carmella, I stood up and out my arms in the air 'Surrendering' when they helped Carmella stand up I ran and bounced off the ropes then preformed my finisher on her, when the ref's got her out of the ring I checked on Andrew "Are you alright?" I asked him and he nodded, I looked at him properly and seen his lip was busted open, "Your lip is busted, c'mon, I'll get you to trainers office and he can stitch that up" I said as I stood up and extended my hand for him to take and he did, I helped him stand up and I helped him walk over to the ropes.

Once we got backstage, I stuck to my word and I brought Andrew to Trainers office, "I seen what Carmella did to you on Tv, how bad is the pain?" Trainer asked "About and eight maybe nine" Andrew told him "Yeah, I was expecting you to say something like that, I'm gonna need to stitch it up, Charlie do you want to stay with him?" Trainer asked, I looked at Andrew and he nodded "Yeah, I'll stay" I said and Trainer nodded, he stuck the needle into Andrew's lip, he winced at the pain, he opened his hand for me to take and I did, I rubbed the back of his hand in a soothing way.
Once Trainer was done putting the stitches in Andrew's lip, he gave Andrew and ice pack "Expect your lip to be swelling, but if you keep that against it you should be fine, take this for the pain" Trainer said and handed him a bottle of pills "Come back to me if the swelling doesn't go down alright?" Trainer asked and Andrew nodded, I helped him stand up and we walked out of trainers office hand in hand.

Andrew left with the boys they're already on their bus, I'm with Bayley and Io, we're loading our stuff onto the bus, once I got on the bus I changed into my pajamas and I sat down in the couch with Io and Bayley "So, are you nervous for your match at WrestleMania with Andrew?" Bayley asked and I shook my head "I'm not nervous, I don't think I should be" I said "Yeah you don't have to be" Io told me and I smiled at her "I need a drink" I said and stood up and opened the the fridge then I took out a bottle of wine and poured some of it into a wine glass "You really like your wine huh" Bayley said "Okay, don't say that like I have a drinking problem, I have one glass of wine a week, that's good for me, I guess" I told her as I sat back down next to Io, "I didn't say that to be rude, I just meant, you like wine, I don't know how you drink it" Bayley said with a smile "Bay, whatever you say I would never take it as a rude comment" I told her and she just nodded with a smile.

I'm not on Tv today, well I'm not supposed to be, WrestleMania is on Friday (Yes I know WrestleMania is always on a Saturday or Sunday but for this book it's on a Friday) Friday is tomorrow so WrestleMania is tomorrow and I'm freaking out right now, it doesn't help that my anxiety is through the roof either, Bayley and Io are the only ones that know about my anxiety and how bad it is, so whenever I'm feeling off I just go them and they help but there's a twist, Bayley is in the middle of a match and Io is off learning a promo so I have no one to go to.

My anxiety is getting worse, it's only been two minutes and I can feel my heart racing through my chest, I was trying to distract myself by scrolling through instagram and TikTok but it didn't work, "Are you okay Charlie?" John cone asked me, he's a referee, "No, do you know where Io is?" I asked him "She's in a meeting, it's something to do with her promo, is there anyone else I can get for you?" He asked but I shook my head "No, when Bayley comes in from her match can you tell her to meet me in my locker room please?" I asked him and he nodded and I thanked him.

"Charlie what's wrong?" Bayley asked as soon as she rushed into my locker room "Bayley, I- I can't breathe" I told her, I started gasping for air "Charlie, hey Charlie, breathe with me alright? In through your nose, out through your mouth, c'mon" Bayley said, she took both of her hands in mine and she got my breathing back to normal, she sat beside me and pulled me in for a hug and I gladly accepted "Has it got anything to do with your match tomorrow?" Bayley asked "maybe, I mean, I was freaking out earlier at the idea but it was probably because of me not feeling myself" I told her "Listen, you'll be fine, alright? You'll be good, if you need anything, anything at all during your match just do your pose, you know the thing you do with your arms?":

"Okay, thanks Bayley" I said "Don't be stupid, you know you don't have to thank me" she told me and I smiled at her.
