WWE: Three Wrestlers and a Baby ~BOOK ONE~

The Change is a New Beginning

Beth Phoenix stood on the opposite side of the ring with the microphone clutched tightly in her hand. “You know exactly what you did Gem. You’re nothing more than a dirty little sneaky whore.”

The crowd booed and I bent down to pick up a microphone on the side of the apron. “What are you talking about Beth?”

“You know Gem! You and Randy! You know Randy was my man, and you still made out with him anyway! We have footage of it Gem! Don’t deny it!”

“I’m not denying anything Beth.” The big screen flickered and a clip showed up. There was the video playing of Randy and I kissing...the one that we recorded just before coming out here. I shook my head, acting ashamed of what I’d done.

“How long have you been doing this Randy?” Beth turned on Randy now.

“Beth, I’m so sorry! It wasn’t my fault Beth.” He looked over at me and he pointed as he gazed back to her. “She came on to me Beth! There was nothing I could do to stop her!”

“Shut the hell up Randy!” I shouted. The arena cheered with excitement. I turned back towards Beth. “I tried to tell you Beth. But Randy just wouldn’t let me.”

Without me knowing, the big screen flickered, and it showed the scene from earlier tonight at dinner when me and Randy got into it back in the catering area.

Randy slammed his fist down on the table. “Shut your mouth.”

I mocked him and slammed my fist down on the table just as hard as he did. Nearly everyone in the room was staring at us. “Why don’t you make me Randy?”

He stood up, and I mocked him again. “Gem you don’t wanna mess with me.”

“You messed with me Randy, it’s only fair!”

I didn’t realize how much Randy was tensing up at me. It seriously looked like he was going to hit me. I flinched at his actions on the big screen as the screen went blank again. I turned back towards Randy and he was staring at Beth.

“I told you Beth. I tried to tell you, but Randy threatened me not to.” I threw the microphone down in the ring and I crawled out. I walked up the ramp, not wanting to turn around. This storyline went the total opposite of what I’d thought. I thought something was going to happen where we fell in love, but it’s the total opposite. I’m actually happy that this is going so well, because not only will it end a possible relationship with me, it’ll end everything in my personal life with him as well.

I walked backstage with a smile on my face. Randy and Beth were bickering behind me to the rest of the world.

This was probably the best opportunity I’ve ever had in this job. Not only did I get the chance to get out of this storyline that I was unexpectedly put into, but I was even able to get him out of my life for good! At least I hope.

I walked to the women’s locker room. I was surprised to see it empty. All the other superstars must’ve left early or something.

I walked over to my little area and I stared at a large yellow envelope. There was a large heart on the front of it, and I couldn’t help but smile. I opened the large seal and peered inside. I grabbed out an invitation for dinner right after the show tonight! It was weird…the invitation never said who it was from. I looked around for any other signs, but there was nothing around that could help me.

I undressed myself and threw my hair up into a messy bun. I grabbed my towel out of my bag and I wrapped it tightly around my body. But I got this weird sensation in my stomach. I immediately ran to the bathroom and locked myself in a stall.

Vomit filled my mouth and I immediately knelt down over the toilet. I threw up a few times before I finally heard the door open to the locker room. I heard a couple women laughing, but I couldn’t tell who it was.

Vomit spewed from my mouth a few more times before it finally ceased. I spit a few times into the toilet water, trying not to make it sound as bad as it looked and felt. I stood up and walked out of the stall, stumbling over to the sink. I spit a couple more times as I ran the water throughout the sink. I splashed my face a few times with the cool water.

I finally looked up to the mirror. I nearly jumped! Melina’s face was directly behind me.

“You okay?” She looked worried.

I nodded as I let the water drip from my face into the sink. I stood there and took a few deep breaths.

“You don’t look okay. Are you sure you don’t want me to take you to a doctor or something?”

“Mel,” I snapped, “I’m fine!” She was startled and she backed away.

“I’ll be over there if you need me.” She pat me on the shoulder and then walked over to the other side of the locker room with everyone else. I stared at my face in the mirror for a few minutes. I was pale.

There was a large pounding on the door to the locker room. Who the hell knocks on THAT door? I listened to the whispers that transpired after the knocks, until one of the women welcomed…John Cena…into the locker room. I continued to stare at my pale face.

“Is everything okay?”

I turned around quickly and the towel swirled outwards, almost revealing my naked body to John Cena who just sprung up behind me. “Um, yeah. I was just um…getting ready to shower. If you couldn’t tell.” My voice was shaky. I’ve never stood naked in front of John Cena. We’ve been pretty good friends for a few years now, but he’s never seen my naked…nor have I seen him.

“Okay, I’m only asking because…well don’t take this the wrong way, but you don’t look so good.” He chuckled at my paleness.

I faked a smile that seemed all too real, at least to him. “Yeah I’ve just been feeling a little under the weather lately. That’s why I didn’t fight tonight.”

“I was wondering why the storylines were changed tonight.” He sighed and leaned against the tiled wall that separated the bathroom from the locker room lounge. “Can I talk to you about something?”

I shrugged. “Could it wait til I’m done with my shower?”

He laughed. His smile was adorable and inviting. “Yeah. By the way, before I go, did you get that envelope?”

Again I smiled. “Yeah. I’m assuming it was from you?”

“Yes it was. Would you be up for some dinner tonight?”

I nodded. “Why not. But anyways, can I please take my shower now?”

He nodded back and he continued to smile. “Yeah.” He turned around and smiled at the other ladies as he walked out of the locker room.

Maryse walked over to me as she smiled and flipped her hair. “Oooooh, what was THAT all about Gem?”

I smiled and turned back to look at myself in the mirror. Little strands of my hair was falling out of my messy up-do. “Oh nothing M, I’m just going out with John Cena to dinner tonight.” A few of the girls squealed! I don’t know what it was about John Cena, but everyone loved him, especially the ladies.

I walked further back in the locker room to the showers and I slowly turned on the water as I took off the towel from around my body. I let the water drip slowly down my body as I contemplated why John Cena would want to go out to dinner with me. I was really hoping that this wasn’t some kind of setup with Randy. I know they’re also best friends. After all, that’s how I met Randy to begin with.
