Here's a new chapter!  I'm glad you guys are liking this story! :)

Brooke walked into her hotel room, setting her things down and sitting down. Nattie's stuff was already in the room, but she wasn't in there.

Zack had walked her to her room, but she just wanted to be by herself, so he left.

Before she knew it, she had the Divas Championship in her hands, just staring at it. She rubbed the butterfly with her thumbs. The door opened, but she didn't look up.

"How long have you been just sitting here?" Brooke looked up at Nattie, who was leaning on the wall, looking at her.

She shrugged. "Just a few minutes."

"Haven't you been champion before?" Nattie asked, moving from the wall and walking to her bed. There was a cameraman behind her, who followed her.

"Yeah, but I don't think I really appreciated it," Brooke replied. "I was just so happy to actually hold it. It never dawned on me that it was an honor to hold this title. I didn't do much as champion. I'm going to try to be a better champion this time."

Nattie nodded. "Yeah, I know what you mean. I've only held it once, and it was for two months. I loved every moment of it."

"So, where were you when I got here?" Brooke asked.

"Trinity, Ariane, and I went out to eat," Nattie said. She smiled. "You should come with us tomorrow! We're going out for lunch. I think you guys would get along."

"I don't really know Ariane and Trinity very well," Brooke confessed. "Just like I don't know Nikki and Brie very well." She laughed. "I actually thought their names were Cameron and Naomi. I'm learning so many things."

Brooke nodded. "Sure. I could use some new friends."

"Great!" Nattie exclaimed, pulling out her phone. "I'll let them know you're coming!"

"Nattie's more excited about me making friends than I am," Brooke said, laughing.

"So," Nattie said, putting her phone away.

"So," Brooke repeated.

"What's going on with you and Zack?" Nattie asked.

Brooke rolled her eyes. "He's just my friend, Nattie. We're not dating."

"I never said you guys were dating," Nattie said, innocently.

"You were thinking it," She said.

"True." Nattie laughed. "But so what if you're not dating. Do you want to be dating?"

"I don't know," Brooke admitted. "My last relationship ended badly, so I don't know if I'm really ready for another one."

"Fair enough," Nattie said. "But don't let this ex-boyfriend of yours make you question yourself. If you really like Zack, then go for it. Don't hold yourself back."

"Wow, no wonder Nattie and TJ have been together for a million years," Brooke said. "She knows so much about relationships!"

"Thanks, Nattie."

Nattie's phone started ringing and she looked at it. "It's TJ. I'll talk to you later, okay, Brooke?"

"Okay," She said as Nattie stood up. "Bye, Nattie."

Once Nattie left the room, she stood up and put the Divas Championship near her things. She heard a vibration and turned around. Her phone was sitting on the nightstand, and it was ringing. By the time she got to it, it had stopped ringing. It only rang once or twice, so that meant whoever was calling her had hung up. She picked up her phone and unlocked it.
