My Ring

figuring this out

Krystal's pov
   Priest and I made our way up to the Gorilla as he joked with me the whole time , trying to change my attitude to a better one.  "Alright , enough with the dad jokes ." I laughed , pushing him away from me slightly as we walked towards the curtain. I looked around and saw no sign of Rhea, which I understand as you were just kicked out of your faction but still.  I turned back to the curtain as my music hit and I came out to a very loud crowd as they screamed for me and Priest. I turned to him as I grabbed his forearm , walking down to the ring as he laughed the whole way there about something Dom said earlier. "Well if this isn't a sight to see here. Carbon Jade and Damien Priest being here together and very much flirtatious . I mean look at the way she's looking down at him." I gave him a playful wink as he smiled back up at me , going along with everything. I watched as zoey stood in the corner of the ring while I waited for the bell. I watched as she circled the ring once the bell went off but I stayed in place as I waved menacingly at her ,crouching on my knees. She gave me a weird look as I watched her, waiting for her to come at me. Which I expected her to, running at me throwing her knee towards me. But I was quicker as I jumped to the right , seeing her leaning over the rope as I now ran to her , kicking her ring in the ass basically as she fell out of the ring landing on the steel steps. "That a girl!" Priest smacked the match as he looked at me with pride. I waited for her to get back up and crawl in the ring as she charged at me and connecting me right into a clothesline and then pulling me up and into the ropes. I bounced back towards as I jumped for her to grab me as she Grabbed me and slammed me across the mat. I rolled to my stomach as she slapped her hands hard on my back. "Take that." She did it again as I winced in pain. I rolled out of the ring as I walked over to Priest who was right by the announcement table. He looked at my back as zoey paced the ring, yelling at me to get back in. I rolled my eyes , flicking her off which made her pissed. "MOVE." I felt myself being pushed as I crashed into his arms where they held me tightly as I saw Demi standing there as Zoey crashed against her. "Holy shit it's Rhea Ripley. Coming to the Judgement Days aid tonight, Really trying to win them back over." I looked at Demi who laid on the ground holding her side. I pulled away from Priest as I grabbed zoey and threw her against the ring post. She fell to her knees as she held her face, I ran at her kicking my feet up , forcing her body into the steel stairs. I sat on my knees as I screamed in victory, flicking her off once more before grabbing her by her hair and putting her back into the ring. I rolled under the rope and over to her, taking her legs and tangling them in mine. "COME ON CJ." I rolled her as I brought my legs up slightly increasing the pressure as she screamed in pain. "There you go sweetheart!" I flashed a look at Demi as she cheered at the edge. I decided to increase the pain as I crawled my way over to Priest as I reached out trailing my fingers under his jaw as I heard her hand smack the mat. I didn't break my hold as I rolled her again. "CARBON LET ME GO, I TAPPED YOU WON." I smiled grimacing at her while she tapped my legs. I finally let her as I stood up and over her body , raising my hands as I saw Priest jumping in the ring. He pulled me into a hug as he raised my hand once again. I flashed my eyes down at Demi, who was showing a mixture of emotions. I pulled my gaze away as Priest held the ropes open for me as I climbed out and waited for him. I saw Rhea climb in the ring as she watched us and then staring back at Zoey. "Come on, you got to get changed for our next match." He pulled me gently as I walked backwards looking at Demi once more.
Priest and I made it back to the JD locker room where I found all of my things and Demi's were gone. "She did it, She wanted to you back in here." Dom spoke up as he saw my confused face. "She say anything else?" He shook his head as I went to my bag and finding my next outfit for ringside, where I found a note on my shoes. "I'll make things right between us . I swear ~Demi." I looked at the note before shoving it back in my suit case and walking back to change.
  Coming back out to the locker room , I saw JD there talking to Finn with a Camera crew filming. He looked at me as I rolled my eyes at him as I went to sit down next to Priest who placed his arm around me as I leaned into him slightly. I looked at my nails as JD looked at me. "Do you always have to roll your eyes at me every time you see me." I flashed my eyes up to him as I leaned forward slightly. "Absolutely, I don't like you. You're a snake and using Finn." He scoffed at me which caused me to stand up. "You know you don't have to act like a bitch." I looked at him with rage in my eyes. "Not my fault that you got your heart broken." I went to go after him but Priest caught me before I could say anything. "YOU LEAVE, CALL HER A BITCH AGAIN AND WATCH WHAT HAPPENS." Priest got right in his face as it scared JD, who ran out right after that.  I laughed slightly as I thought it was funny watching him shrink in fear. "So the Judgement Day how are you guys feeling about everything going on in your group" I eyed Cathy as she smiled at all of us. "We're a family,  it sometimes things need to be addressed and changed. Rhea will get herself together, but she doesn't get to treat us how she treats her ring opponents." Dom said as he genuinely looked sad that she wasn't here. " Cathy if you'd like to stay on my good side. I suggest you go away." She knew exactly where I was heading with this as she walked straight away. We all laughed as we walked out and headed to the ring for Priest match against Seth tonight.  I saw Demi sitting in the gorilla as I looked at the guys, telling them I'd be right back. I walked up to her as she looked up from her phone, her eyes lit up as she saw me. "Hey, I just wanted to make sure you were okay." She gave me a faint smile. "Yeah, I'm okay. Hey i'm sorry for earlier and snapping on you like that again.. I just got upset that you rejected me and it felt like a knife in my heart." I was surprised that she was actually communicating with me as I grabbed her hand and squeezing it. "I know. I'll see you." I let go of her hand as I walked back over to the guys as I jumped on Dom.  The music went off as we all walked out as I stood in the middle of Dom and Priest and Finn on the end. Priest went and did his thing as I stood back with Dom and Finn as we messed around with each other. I smiled as Priest came over to us after as I wrapped both of my arms around him as I hugged him. Pulling away, he gave me his leather jacket, opening it for me to wear as it was huge on me but I smiled up to him flipping my hair over my shoulder. We left him in the ring as I walked the edge of the ring waiting for Seth to come out as his entrance is going to forever since everyone loves to sing his song. As seth came out, Dom and I were pretending to fall asleep on the ring as we were showing that we were bored. " What are you up too this week until we travel again?" Dom asked me as the match finally started as Priest and Seth went at each other as i made sure to keep my eye on Priest."Umm im not sure honestly, my family is in town. I might spend time with them. Raquel asked me to go see a movie with her. I don't know , I just want to have time to myself." I watched as Priest had the upper hand with him. " Come on Priest! There you go!!" I smacked the mat, as Priest looked at me giving me a wink as he threw seth on his back. " Well on wednesday, me and Marie are hosting a huge house warming party. I would love for you to come and you can meet my girl." He gave me a big smile as I told him Id love to come. I looked back at Priest as her rolled out the ring holding his back like he was in pain. We both ran over to him as we checked on him. The crowd went wild as Seth rollins landed at our feet, we were all surprised as we looked up to see Demi standing there as she smiled down at us. Priest took the chance in front of him as he stomped on seth a few time as seth groaned in pain. I watched as Priest takes seth and throws him back in the ring , rolling himself under as well. I climbed on the ring edge as I screamed for Priest as he rolled him in a pin. I cheered as Priest finally had a W on seth rollins. We all climbed in the ring as we congratulated him, I handed him his briefcase as I grabbed his wrist and hanging it as I high as I could reach. Demii rolled into the ring as she looked at all of us with pleading eyes. " Can I come home to my family please." She looked directly at me. " After tonight, we see a difference, well talk about it." Dom spoke up as he looked at me. "Thanks." she rubbed he hands together as we rolled out of the wing, well expect for me as Dom gave me a piggyback ride.
   Dom carried me all back stage as Finn chased us down the hallway. "A bunch of animals you are!" Priest shouted as I held onto Dom tighter as we both were too busy laughing. Just as we were about to make it in the locker room, Dom and I were ambushed , falling hard into some tables. I laid there as we both were groaning in pain, I heard a familiar voice that I hate oh so much. "Better luck next time." I saw Jade standing over me as she laughed then walking away. "Holy shit are you alright?" Finn and Priest both came to our side as they helped us up and walked us into the locker room. "I thought you were done with that Jade feud?" Finn looked at me as I rubbed my neck. "Yeah me too." I looked over at Dom who looked like he was in some pain too holding his shoulder. "Well , she hurts one of you then it's over for her. I'll let this shit slide for now but once more I swear I'll end her. " I gritted through my teeth as I looked at Dom. "So what about Rhea? I mean absolutely she wants to come back and she defend two of the people she hurt the most I think. I mean I think she learned her lesson don't you think?" Finn looked over at us as I looked at Dom, it's his choice.  "Not yet, I mean just because she came out for two saves doesn't mean that it's different, Make her sweat just a little bit more and hopefully she'll come around with CJ more and then she can come back." We all agreed as it was a fair point. "I won't lie and say that I don't miss her being with us." I looked over at Dom, who gave me a sad smile. "I know, I miss her too." We eventually all changed and got back to the hotel, I went to my room as the guys went to the bar. "Hey K wait up?" I looked over and saw Raquel running over to me. "Hey Vic, what's up?" She stopped right in front of me, looking at me kindly. "I was wondering if you'd be interested in going on a date with me. Like an actual date." I didn't know what to say but I looked at her. "uhh maybe . I'll think about it. I just kinda want to figure myself out right now." She understood , letting me go back into my room as I threw myself on the bed. I laid there for a good hour before there was a loud knock on my door. I opened it to find Demi standing there drunk out of her mind. "Heyyyy there she is, my favorite person. Whatcha doing?" she grabbed the door frame as she started losing her balance. "Hey there , how much have you drank tonight Dems." She raised her hands as she held up 6 fingers. "you had 6 drinks?" She shook her head as she tried to get her words out. "mhmm I sure diddd." I laughed slightly at her drunk state, as I've never seen her drink before. "Well come on rockstar, I'll take you back to your room so you get there safe." She placed her arms around my shoulder as I walked her down the hallway towards her room. "You're so pretty. Look at those freckles. This one's my favorite." She poked at my face as I was now trying not to hysterically laugh at her. "Give me your  room key , you silly goose."  She handed it over to me as I opened her door and immediately saw the small bottles of liquor on her night stand. I walked her over to her bed and setting her down gently, grabbing all of the bottles. "Demi this is more than six drinks. More like 9 to 10 mini bottles here." She looked at me as she couldn't process what I was saying to her. "Hey, you aren't supposed to see those." She reached out to grab them but I pulled my hand back from her. "Demi, drinking like this is the way to handle everything." She watched me through the bottles away , I grabbed her a water and the Advil I know she keeps in her bag. "Drink this and take these. You'll thank me later. "  Handing her the bottle , she did what I told her told and smiled at me after. "Now sleep this off you have a plane to catch. I'll see you okay." I made it to the door as I heard her call for me. "Krystal, I miss you... more than anything." I turned around to see she was right behind me now. "Demi, you're drunk and can't think rationally, come on. Go crawl in bed." She shook her head at me, cupping my cheek with her hand. "I've never thought more clearly than I am right now. I miss you. I miss being with you. I miss holding you at night while Monty and Barry lay against us, I miss kissing you." I tried not to let myself cry but seeing her heartbroken hurts me in ways I never thought I'd hurt before. "Demi, it's the alcohol talking." I grabbed her wrist as I pulled off my face as she started to cry. "No, It's me telling you how I feel Krystal. I know I fucked up with you and I'm so sorry. But I can't help but think about you every day, watching you while you're in the ring, how you'd light up every room you'd walk into." I was pressed against the door as she stood two inches in front of me. "Just please, let me fix this. Tell me what I need to do to fix this and I'll do it." She brushed her thumb against my bottom lip as she looked at me. "I need to breathe Demi." I gently pushed her off of me and ran out of her room and back to mine. I closed the door as I let the tears escape now, letting the feelings out. I miss her too, more than anything but I need to breathe on my own for a bit.
