I wake up as I feel someone move next to me, I open my eyes to see that Jess is asleep next to me. This isn't a rarity in our household, me and Jess would often fall asleep in each others beds as we watched films. 

" Jess, you awake?" I ask 

" hmm" she hums back

 " wanna go to the pc?" I ask. Jess groans and stretches as she wakes up fully. 

" when" she asked still sleepy 

" when ever we are ready" I answer. 

" okay, let's get ready now" she says and sits up and starts looking at her phone. 

" what happened to lets get ready now?" I ask with a chuckle 

" give me five mins to wake up" she rolls her eyes at me. 

 We eventually get ready and leave for the PC to train.

Jess parks up out side the building and we get our bags from the back seats and walk into the building. We walk into the already busy building, I look around to see if there is a ring free and I spot Gigi, Cora and Jacy in a ring warming up. 

" there" I say nudging Jess and nodding towards them. 

" let's go" she smiles. We walk up to the ring 

" hey girls, mind if we join?" I ask 

" nah, jump in" Gigi smiles.

 Me and Jess climb in and start to warm up. After a while we all get into little matches with each other, working on our in ring cardio and just building up in ring chemistry so we can put on a show for the WWE fans. After a while the Three women leave and me and Jess have the ring to ourselves. We continue to train, working up a sweat

 " should we call it?" Jess says breathlessly

 " yeah, let me just drink some water" I say. 

We sit in the ring for a bit and rest and drink some water. As we are talking we get interrupted by a group walking in eruptively, I turn to see the group The Judgment day walking in. Fin Balor, Dominik Mysterio, money in the bank winner Damian Priest, JD and  women's world champion Rhea Ripley. I watch Rhea as she walks up to the ring confidently 

" hey, you guys finished with the ring?" she smiles revealing her smiley piercing.

 " uh.. uh yeah, we're just finishing" I stutter 

" cool, thanks" she smiles sweetly at me. 

We leave the ring and go to the car.

 " so you got it for Ripley" Jess laughs as she starts the car 

" no I don't" I defend myself 

" the way you was like 'uh uh... yeah uhh" she laughs 

" shut up, she's intimidating" I chuckle

 " so your not crushing on her?" Jess asked quickly looking at me and then back on the road. 

" the whole world is crushing on her" I chuckle

 " that doesn't answer my question" she says 

" no, Jess I am not crushing on Rhea Ripley" I tell her truthly. 

We get home and just shower and chill for the rest of the day, Jess goes out to see Marcel so I am left to myself. 

It's time for NXT again and I am up against Gigi in a tables match, I wait in the ring as she does her entrance. Once the bell rings we waste no time in beat the shit out of each other. I hit Gigi with a kendo stick and I can see the marks on her back. I go and hit Gigi with my finisher the slice bread. I line her up so if it connects she will go through the table that is set up. I wrap my arm around her neck and run up the ropes and as I go to flip over Gigi stops me and flips me back over and my head hits the turn buckle. Gigi lays me on the table and climbs the turn buckle and leg drops me through the table. 

I'm walking through the back stage area

 " Abigail?" I hear and I turn and see my boss Paul walking towards me 

" hey, Paul what's up?" I ask 

  " can I have a word?" he asked

 " sure" I smile and I follow him into his office. 

" what's up, boss" I asked sitting the the chair opposite him. 

" well I talked with Shaun and he said you was feeling down a bit, that you was second guessing your place here in the WWE, why, talk to me Abigail" he says softly. 

I sigh " I don't know, I just.. I have been on a losing streak of late and I just I'm just not feeling confident. Like I don't belong here and I'm just wasting someone else spot" I tell him, not being able to look him in his eyes. 

" Abigail you are an amazing wrestler, you wouldn't be on my shows if you wasn't. Times are hard for you yes but every wrestler goes through a rough patch in their career's that make them second guess if they deserve to be here, It's how you get yourself out of this rough patch that defines you as a wrestler and a person" he says 

" at the moment Paul, I don't know how to get out of this rut. I have done everything, I have changed my move set, I have trained every day, I have put in the work and nothing has helped" I tell him.

 " okay, here's what we are going to do" he says stroking his bread, thinking" take some time off, think about what you can do to change things. Change your persona, come up with some new ideas and then get back to me" he says

 " okay" I nod. I leave office, go for a shower and then make my way home. 

I get home and was surprised to see Marcel and Jess cuddled up on the sofa. 

" oh hey, did you get my text?" Jess asked jumping up from Marcel's embrace  

" oh, no I haven't seen it. I was in a meeting with Paul" I tell her 

" I just text letting you know Marcel was here, is everything okay"  she asked

 " yeah, all good" I smile at her then Marcel and then walk off into my room. I just change and then put a film to fall asleep too.
