What Happened Last Night

~Last Night~

"You guys are so wasted."

"Joe, we are not drunk. Alright? We are very sober." I said, slurring every single word.

He just shook his head. I could tell I was embarrassing myself but I didn't care. The alcohol was numbing my feelings towards him and I was thankful for it. Because I realized something tonight as I watched him accept his award: I was a fan and he was a WWE Superstar. His world would never mesh with mine. I could sit and pretend and contemplate what being with Joe would be like but it could never happen. Our worlds were split apart from each other. It was like sitting behind a piece of glass. Joe on one side and I on the other.

"I'm going back to the hotel. I can't hang around you three anymore tonight."

"You're no fun, Joe."

He just shook his head again before paying his tab and leaving. The boys and I continued to drink and hang out until the early hours of the morning. We got bored and decided to go back to the hotel too. When we got there, Jon and I couldn't find our key cards and so we stayed in Colby's room. Colby told Jon and I to take the bed. Jon was puking in the bathroom and Colby was going to sleep. But I didn't want to go to bed, I wanted to stay up.

"I'm going out."

"Evanna, no. Go to bed."

"I don't want to go to bed. I'm going out."

"Fine, let me go with you."

"No, you stay here. Take care of Jon. I'm a big girl and can take care of myself."

"Evanna, you are drunk and need someone to go with you."

"I'll be fine."

Colby tried to follow me but I pushed him and left the room. I went out onto the streets and walked around, trying to clear my head. I thought the drinking might numb me but it wasn't helping and thoughts of Joe kept floating around in my head. Evanna, stop it. Stop thinking about it. I kept walking and ran into someone. I looked up to see a strange man in front of me.

"Sorry."

"It's alright, darlin'."

I tried to pass him but he wouldn't let me. He grabbed me and tried to take me somewhere.

"Let me go!"

His grip was strong and he wouldn't let go.

"Help!"

And then out of nowhere, Joe was there. He started to beat the guy up and then grabbed me and led me away from the scene. We ended up back at the hotel. He was checking me to make sure I had no injuries before treating his injuries himself.

"Why were there?"

"Huh?"

"It was like you knew where I was."

"I followed you. Colby said you had gone out alone and he was taking care of Jon so he wanted me to make sure you were ok."

"Thank you."

"Yep."

"I'm sorry you had to take care of me."

"It's alright." He looked at me and smiled. He looked back down at his hand and continued to treat the wounds.

I loved that smile. I loved everything about him. He was the guy that I wanted to be with.

"Joe..."

"Yeah?"

"I think I'm in love with you."

He looked up at me. "What?"

And then I kissed him. He pushed away quickly, shocked at what just happened. He rejected me. And it hurt. It hurt so bad. I stood and ran out the door. I could hear him calling after me but I just kept running.

I came back to the hotel about an hour later. Tears still streaming down my face. Not only had I embarrassed myself twice tonight, I also got rejected by the one man I didn't want to get rejected by. I felt terrible. I threw up a couple of times before I went to bed next to Jon. He smelled terrible but I didn't care. Because I felt terrible and that was all that mattered to me in that moment.
