Daniella's Up Rise

Chapter 5

-Dani's POV-

I won the match which I was happy about, but Randy was out there and I didn't see the guy I grew up with, I saw Kane. You could say I was a bit traumatized from Kane's doings. I ran backstage and ran straight for my dressing room. I didn't care for the other Superstars and Divas. Even thought their eyes were burning into me as I ran past, I just wanted to get away from 'Kane'.  I busted through the door of my locker room and slammed it behind me. I was out of breath and my legs felt weak. I slid down the door with my back and closed my eyes to make the nightmare go away.

Calm down, what are you doing?

Kane, he-he-he's back. No, Randy t-take Kane's place. H-he's after me.

Stop, calm down. You're in a position where you can't show your weaknesses. Get it together. Now!

Alright. Alright, just give me a minute. Knock, knock. There was a knock at the door. My heart began to race again. Who could it be? "Dani?" Well that answered it. Randy's voice came from the other side of the door. 

My lip quivered, I was afraid to say something.

Say something!

"Yea?" My voice was unsteady. Well I was scared out of my pants, of course my voice was shaky.

"Dani, let me in."  His voice was a mix of concern and a command.

Don't hesitate. Let him in.

I slowly made my way over to the door grabbed the handle. My terror made my whole body shake, even when Kane wasn't here, he still caused havoc. Well through me in this case.I opened the door and I had to remove the shake to my body, "Yes?" I said when I saw Randy. I laid on the doorway to give off a relaxed or made attitude.

"Dani, can I please come in? I need to talk to you about what just happened." He put his hand on the door and tried to push his was through.

"What's there to talk about?" I asked as I tried to keep the door the was it was.

"Dani, I know you're not dumb enough to talk out here and let everything spill to everybody else." He made a point. Either let him in or have everyone else in my business, "Either way I need to talk to you." 

I knew there was no way out of this.

Well I could've told you that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I simply gave up and let him in. I moved away from the door and stood in front of the TV to watch a subway commercial. I heard him close the door and then I didn't hear anything else but the TV. A couple more commercials passed until either of us moved. But I was kinda pissed because Randy was the one that turned down the TV's volume to like 4. 

"Dani, I didn't mean it like that." He spoke suddenly. 

"What are you talking about?" I said like I actually had no clue what just happened out there.

"Dani," He stepped closer to me, I wasn't taking that too lightly and I stepped back, "Please don't act like you didn't just run away out there." That's one of the first times I've heard him say please.

"Randy, what do you wanna talk about that's O' so important?" I wasn't annoyed he was here, I actually felt safe but I couldn't let my guard down, because, I just couldn't OK?

"Don't act like you weren't terrified out there. I know I saw it." I avoided eye contact, I didn't wanna face this subject especially, with him. He took another step forward and I was forced to stay in one place, if I moved, I'd just prove his point, "There's no need to be scared. Kane's gone. Eve begged me to go out there just to throw you off your game so she can win. I'm sorry, Dani, I didn't think it would work."
