1,2,3. I hear the ref and the crowd count as I lay on my back as Roxanne pins me to retain her NXT women's championship. I roll out of the ring as Roxanne celebrates her win, I sit on the ramp like how John Cena did at WrestleMania when he lost to The Rock all them years ago and I watch Roxanne celebrate. I hang my head to hide the tears,  after a moment I get up and walk back stage. I sit down and grab some water

" hey, great match" Roxanne hugs me 

" yeah, congrates on the win" I hug her back. 

" killed it, ladies" I turn to see who is said that and I see Shaun Michaels standing behind me

 "thanks, boss" I say and hug him. After talking with Shaun and Roxanne for a bit I go into the locker room, I shower, change and then drive home which is a 15 minute drive from the PC where NXT is filmed. 

I get home and I am immediately greeted by my house mate, fellow NXT wrestler and my all time best friend, Tiffany Stratton or Jessica Woynilko. 

" Abby, your home" she runs up to me

 " hey, Jess" I chuckle and hug her. 

" I have some exciting news, come I made dinner, let's eat and talk" she says excitedly and speeds watching into the kitchen of our apartment. 

" so what's the news" I asks as I shove a forkful of food into my mouth

 " so, you know I have been talking to Marcel" she asked 

" who?" I chuckle 

" Ludwig, Ludwig Kaiser?" she tells me

 " oh, yeah?" I ask with an eyebrow raised

 " well, he wants to go for a drink with me" she squeals in excitement. 

" and the news is?" I ask sarcastically

 " he wants to meet me, me Abby" she says way to excitedly making me laugh.

 " he would be stupid not to" I tell her. 

" oh by the way we are facing each other next week" she smirks 

" we are?" I tilt my head in confusion 

" yup, and I am going to kick your ass" she chuckles and gets up to take her plate into the kitchen. I follow her

 " winner does chores for a week" I smirk, Jess doesn't anything she just laughs and takes my plate out of my hands to wash it. 

 " push Smith.... Smith are you a joke?, keep pushing" Jess shouts at me as I'm lifting weights at the gym. 

" shut up, Jess" I say through gritted teeth as I lift the weight from a squatting position.  Once I place the weight on the bar 

" good job, Smith" Jess says high fiving me. 

See the thing is I have known Jess for a long time, we met at a local gym as teenagers, we were fourteen when we first met. Jess would do her gymnastics and I would be in a different part of the gym wrestling. So Jess is very good at pushing my buttons and getting under my skin to get the best out of me, which can be useful in these types of situations like the gym when I need that extra push. We shower, change and leave the gym. I drive us home and then we eat and I go and chill in my room.

It's time for my match with Jess and I am standing in the ring watching her do her entrance. The match goes back and forth until Jess hits me with her cartwheel Alabama slam setting me up for her finisher The PME. It connects and Jess pin me for the three count. I make my way back stage feeling down 

" Abigail, office please" Shaun says. 

I follow him into the office and sit in the chair opposite him 

" what's up, boss?" I ask 

" as I was walking past I saw you looking down so I just wanted to make sure your okay?" he says

 " I can't lie Shaun, I have been on a losing streak and it is getting me down a bit and I am second guessing myself" I tell him

 " how can I help with that?" he asked 

" I don't know boss, I think I'm just in a rut right now" I tell him 

" alright, I will talk to Paul and see what we can do" he tells me 

" thanks, boss" I give him a small smile. 

 I am home alone as Jess has gone out with Marcel, so I am laying on my bed watching a film. I scroll through my phone, sharing some fan art, liking some fans pictures as I scroll. About half way through the film I hear the front door open and then a knock on my bedroom door. 

" yeah?" I call out and Jess walks in with the best smile on her face. 

" what's up" I ask 

" can I tell you about my date" she smiles sweetly at me

 " sure" I smile and move up on my bed a little so she has space to sit next to me. Jess kicks her heels off and lays down next to me. 

" we went to this cute, old fashioned pub and we got some food and drinks" she explained 

" sounds cute" I chuckle 

" and he is so nice, his such a gentlemen, y'know the type that holds doors open, didn't let me buy one drink, spoke to me with so much respect. His just ugh, I don't know" she says flopping on the bed on her back, staring at the ceiling 

" damn girl, you got it bad" I chuckle and follow her actions  so we are both on our backs staring at the ceiling. 

" we need to find you a girlfriend" Jess randomly breaking the silence.

 " no way" I chuckle 

" oh come on Abby, it's been years since your last girlfriend. I mean when was the last time you got laid?" she asked 

" do you really want to know that?" I ask

 " yes I do, I know it's been a while and it's not good" she chuckles 

" last year, with Tegan" I chuckle 

" Tegan, huh" she looks at me with an eyebrow raised

 " yup" I say popping the p and making Jess chuckle. 

" you should find someone, get yourself out there" she says 

" I'm not gonna force it, Jess. It will happen when it happens" I say and she just nods. 

" wanna watch a movie?" Jess asked

 " sure" I smile.

 " cool, I'll get changed and you pick a movie" she says giving me the control and leaves. Moments later she comes back and gets into my bed and I press play and that's how we stays for the remainder of the night.
