Takeover

Chapter 14: Aftermath

Cassidy clutched at her mouth the second she and Cammi made it through to the backstage area and away from sight of the audience. She toughed it out for the cameras, but now she didn't need to. She doubled over in pain as she held her busted open jaw. Small droplets of blood still made their way down her face and onto her hands. It wasn't nearly the amount of blood that spurt out when she was first kneed in the face by Alicia, a solid hit straight to the chin, but it was still no where near okay. Cammi patted her best friend's back and rubbed at it comfortingly, hoping to reassure her even though it didn't seem like it was doing much.

"That looks really bad. We gotta get you to the medical staff." Cammi said, her voice full of concern. "I have no idea how you managed to wave off the pain when you talked."

"That's why I gave you the mic," Cassidy responded through her fingers.

"Hmmm... I thought you gave it to me because you have terrible mic skills," Cammi teased. It earned her an elbow to the ribs.

"Asshole," Cammi heard Cassidy whisper. She thought she saw a small hint of a smile from the way her eyes crinkled. Cammi chuckled through the pain in her abdomen. Cassidy grimaced from the ache the smile left on her face.

Cammi's laugh faded as she heard yells in the distance. Someone was obviously pissed and they were willing to bet who they were pissed at.

"Think you can keep up the act a bit longer?" Cammi asked. Cassidy nodded her head and both steeled their faces, nothing but anger and contempt to be shown.

"You two! What the hell was that?!" An all too familiar voice hollered from a distance. Cammi struggled not to let the annoyance show on her face as she glared ahead at the two-toned man charging right for them, J and J security in tow, struggling to keep up.

"I was supposed to be the one opening Raw, not you two! Do you have any idea how much time you've made me lose--" he kept yelling but was cut off by the sound of his music hitting. His eyes closed in annoyance as he let out a frustrated growl.

"Damn it!" He punched the closest wall and then stalked back to Cammi and Cassidy. " I am not done with you two. When I'm done out there, you two will answer to me." With that, Seth exited out the curtain and to the crowd filled arena followed by his two security. Cammi and Cassidy let out a sigh of relief. Cassidy hunched over once again.

"I'm glad it wasn't anyone important," Cammi stated half-joking. She held Cassidy in a side hug and helped her move forward. They had to get to a doctor. With her arms wrapped around Cassidy, Cammi managed to slowly drag her for a while before the two bumped into a couple of female faces they really didn't want to deal with right.

"Well, well. It looks like our two daring darlings are back. How was it, girls. Seemed like you two really got your asses handed to you." A sneering voice came out of perfect crimson lips.

"You should see the other two," Cassidy spurted out, a drop of blood making its way onto Nikki Bella's face.

"That is absolutely disgusting! How dare you spurt that crap on me!" Nikki screeched.

"It's called blood, Nikki. You know, you have some in you too. If you worked hard maybe we'd see it and then you'd deserve half the things you've gotten." Cammi snapped back. Nikki's eyes shot up to Cammi's face, filled with rage. Cammi and Cassidy began to walk away, but Nikki yanked back at Cammi's arm, forcing her to release Cassidy who now stood wobbling on her own.

"What makes you think I don't work hard? I've given myself to this company for years. You don't get to decide who deserves what just because you had one badass match!"

"It wasn't just the match. We did something you would never have the balls to do! You, your sister, and everyone else in this division! We took what we wanted because we were strong enough to do it and we didn't care what anyone else thought. We've been pushed, mistreated, absolutely shit on. We're the only ones willing to do something about it."
