Wrestling One Shots/Short Stories

Matt Taven Part 1

"This is one of the stupidest things I've ever done Maria" I sighed both of us watching the monitor as Mike wrestled Bateman, knowing it wouldn't be long before Dutch, Vita, and Vinny got involved. "The first being Matt" I mumbled glad that I could wipe the worried look off her face even if it was only for a few seconds "You're not doing this for Matt, you're doing this for me and Mike and Freddie and Carver" she shrugged making me roll my eyes "I can't believe you're using my godchildren against me" I mumbled taking another step forward as Dutch and Vita started attacking Mike ending the match in a disqualification. "Ladies and gentlemen, that is the Ex-wife of Matt Taven rushing towards the ring to aid the best friend, the tag team partner of her ex-husband," Caprice stated as I jogged down the steps and towards the ring. "That woman is running to her demise. Once again rushing into danger for a man who does not care about her" Vincent sounded as I slid into the ring and started trading blows with Vita until Bateman decided he had enough and hit me with a rolling elbow knocking me to the mat right beside Mike. "Peach" he groaned as I pushed up to my knees only to receive a boot between my shoulder blades pushing me back to the mat. "I'm right here Mikey" I grumbled trying to push up again but wasn't quite strong enough "Bring them to me!" Vincent yelled my body being manhandled up and out of the ring by Bateman and Vita as Mike was getting thrown around by Dutch. I groaned in pain as I was thrown over the barricade gravity doing the work of slamming my body into the concrete floor on the other side, Mike joining me a few seconds later. "Mike" I grunted making sure the man squeezed my hand in response before I tried to get back up to my knees a boot catching me across the side of the head and dropping me back to the floor. "Peach, I'll give you a chance to correct your wrongdoings" Vinny sounded, the man dancing closer as I was pulled up onto my knees by Vita and Bateman. 

"Join me Peach. Join me and you will be reborn." Vinny cooed a bitter laugh leaving my lips at his words my hands slowly going up in the Kingdom four-finger salute a boot striking across my head dropping me down before I was pulled back up. "This is your last chance Peach. Give up on Matt Taven. Join me and I will lead you to the promised land" Vinny was not as cheerful this time as I shakily raised my head to stare at the man who I once considered a friend, Mike's hand clutching my own tightly as he slowly rolled onto his side "He will make you pay Vinny. The OGK will reign again" I coughed out before a boot connected with the side of my head knocking me right back down beside Mike for the third and final time. From blurry eyes, I could see Caprice and Ian keeping themselves between The Righteous and Mike and me. "Peach" Mike groaned once again, his grip on my hand tight as I gave a gentle squeeze back. "Are you okay" Mike groaned slowly pushing up to his knees and helping me up "I just sacrificed myself and put my son in danger for you and my ex-husband. Do I sound okay?" I groaned leaning on him heavily my head throbbing from all the abuse I had taken. "Mentally, no. How are you physically?" he questioned as we both slowly made our way to the back "Not as bad as I imagined I'd feel I guess." I admitted rubbing the side of my head gently the headache already hitting hard. "Ask me again in the morning" I added knowing I was going to have one hell of a headache for a couple of days after the elbow and the boots from Bateman. "At least you get to get on a plane and go to sleep in your bed" he commented accepting the hug his wife bestowed upon him as we reached the back. "Oh Peach the side of your head" Maria moaned gently gripping my cheeks and inspecting the side of my temple "Oh shit yeah. That's going to be one hell of a bruise" Mike nodded stepping over to look at what Maria saw. "Why do I keep doing stupid shit for him" I grumbled following the couple through the hallway so Mike could change before we had to leave for the airport. 

"Has anyone even heard from Matt lately?" I asked following Mike and Maria through the airport towards our terminal, our flight to Boston was boarding in 15 minutes, and the show running late giving us very little wiggle room. "I kind of figured you had, isn't the punk with him this week?" Mike asked heaving our carry-ons through the crowds for us. "My flight left before he got in so my mom just dropped him off at Matt's Monday morning" I shrugged not having spoken to my baby daddy in almost three weeks. "I hope he's okay. He doesn't normally ghost everyone like this" Maria sighed leaning into her husband's side as we got in line to board "I'm sure I'll find out. Carter asked if I could pick him up at Matt's this time" I shrugged knowing it meant the man didn't have the option to ignore me. "Weird, I wonder why. Doesn't he usually just meet you somewhere halfway between your apartments?" Maria questioned as we moved forward, pausing our conversation to show the attendant our tickets before we continued onto the plane taking our seats. "Usually, I don't know what happened but Cart called asking if I could just come there" I sighed relaxing back into my seat and thanking god that this flight was short as I pulled out my phone and sent a quick text to Matt letting him know our flight was leaving so I'd be by to pick Carter up in about four hours. By the time we landed I was nearly jumping in my seat; I felt like I was running through the airport to get my bags and leave, taking just enough time to say goodbye to Mike and Maria before I was out the door and heading for my vehicle. I wanted my child and my bed, and now that both things were so close I felt like a mad woman trying to get to them.
