Mysterium in the Ring

Chapter 49: Sorry Not Sorry

We head backstage with a camera still following us, signaling that the gimmick isn't over yet.

"What the hell were you thinking?!" Rhea grabs my arm yanking me back. "Is your ears not fucking working? I said stop!"

I yank my arm back, "Yeah, I heard you," is all I say before turning back around to continue my walking.

I hear Rhea scoff and before I know it I'm shoved into a wall, "You will not turn your back on me while I'm talking, understood?" She speaks with an authoritative but threatening tone.

I swallow hard and nod my head quickly, "Understood."

"Good," Rhea steps away and folds her arms across her chest. "Don't ever pull that shit again. If I tell you to do something- you do it. Okay?"

I breathe out and glance over at Dominik and the guys. They all stand there giving me a sympathetic look with their heads lowered a little. I look back at Rhea and nod my head, "Okay."

Rhea smiles widely and walks over to me. She pulls me into a side hug, "Good, because I also want to say that I am proud of you. You are finally stepping out of your shell, good for you." Rhea lets go of me and starts to walk away, but she turns around for one last word. "It's about time you stood up for yourself."

Finn and Damien walk away with her, but Dominik stays behind. The cameraman stays in the room as well, so I know this is all an act- for whatever may happen.

"You did good out there. Just like Rhea said, I'm proud of you too," Dominik stands there with a proud smile on his face. "Just please, let me know you are going to do something like that before you do it, okay? You had me worried..." Dominik whispers the last sentence for only me to hear. I look at him confused, but he turns and walks in the direction that Rhea went.

The cameraman follows Dominik, probably to get him talking to Rhea or something. As soon as they are both out of sight I walk back to the lounge area. I walk into the lounge area and I notice that no one is in there, so I make my way over to one of the sofas and make myself comfortable. The current match that is going on, is Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens vs The Usos. It's very interesting to say the least.

But I don't get too comfortable before I feel someone tap me on my shoulder. I jump a little and quickly look behind me noticing Ronda standing there.

"Can we talk please?" She asks with a worried look on her face.

I nod my head slowly and she sits down across from me.

"I know that I have talked to you about leaving, but I decided to stay a bit longer. I want to go to WrestleMania against Charlotte- I want a chance for the title," Ronda confesses to me.

"Ronda- um. That's... you can't do that. You can't just leave and expect them to give you a spot at WrestleMania. I mean, they rarely give away spots there," I try to reason with her but I can tell that she is taking it hard.

"You don't think I am good enough? I can win them over, you'll see," Ronda fires back at me confidently.

"Ronda... respectfully, they have already figured out matches. I doubt you'll get one. But that's okay! There is always a next year."

Ronda purses her lips in anger, "I can make them change it. I mean who else would you put in the spot of me- against Charlotte?"

"Rhea- Rhea Ripley would be great against her," I say Rhea's name quicker than I think I should've.

Ronda looks taken aback as I say her name. "What? Is she your new best friend or something? You know that's something else that I wanted to talk about. You hang out with her way more than me now. You talk to her more, see her more, and you guys literally wrestle against other people with each other! That was our dream, but you replaced me with her!"

"Oh Ronda, stop being like that. It's my job, I can't choose what happens. If the higher-up people want me to be best friends with Rhea I will. Onscreen of course though. We're not losing our friendship- we're fine," I try to comfort her, but it comes out with more sarcasm than I meant it to.

"You don't even sound that sure of it yourself!" Ronda stands up abruptly. "You know, I know that you are butt-hurt that I am leaving, but you didn't need to ruin our friendship over it. I've known you since day one, and yet you still treat me like shit!" Ronda storms out of the room leaving me there alone again.

I wasn't trying to come off as rude, I was just trying to tell the truth. Maybe it's better for her to be mad at me than WWE. I try to comfort myself but I fail. I put my head in my hands and breathe in and out trying to stop myself from crying. I feel the sofa dip down beside me, meaning that someone or something is sitting beside me. I look up slightly to see Dominik there.

He's now dressed in casual clothes, but his hair is still gelled back. He looks at me with the same sympathetic eyes as earlier- but this time they are genuine.

"What?" I ask weakly.

"I don't want to intrude, but I heard most of that. I'm sorry I should've left you both, but I wanted to make sure you were okay," Dominik rubs the back of his neck as he speaks.

"It's okay..." I put my head back into my hands, but I feel Dominik tug on my hands slightly. He moves my hand away so I am forced to sit up. I look at him sadly, but he smiles at me.

"You know what we should do?" Dominik asks with a cocky smirk on his face.

make out.... HHFIL:HSIL SORRY FOURTH WALL BROKEN BUT I WANTED TO PUT THAT SO BAD IN THE STORY I COULDNT HELP MYSELF HWIHRIWHRI okay anyways chile

"What?" I ask with my mind still hazy.

"We should go get breakfast again," as he says this- his smile grows bigger.

I can't help but laugh a little, "Is this becoming a new tradition, eating breakfast at night?"

"I think we can make it into our own tradition. How does that sound?" Dominik looks over at me with hopeful eyes.

"I think that sounds great." 

Author's Note: 

Nothing much to say tonight; except that I love that Roman is back. Many people don't like him, but I love seeing him at SmackDown. It makes it more interesting and entertaining ngl. 

Might not post tomorrow night- I have some plans made, and I don't think I will be getting back home until like one in the morning. 

But I hope you all have a great day, love you all!
