Something About This Night..

Saige

(Sorry about the delay everyone! I was testing to see if this would be liked or not, as well as writing other things, and dealing with crap, but it turns out it was liked!! Thank you all again so very much!)

No words were spoken by Colby after that night. Days went by, turning into weeks of pure silence. But he had to address it at some point or another. There was no avoiding it any longer. It had been three long months of pure silence and Saraya was backstage at a Monday Night RAW. Colby approached her from behind and nudged her elbow gently, "Hey, you got a minute? I need to talk to you about something." The pale raven haired woman spun around and saw it was one of her closest friends in the world, she smiled and nodded, "Course I got a minute for ya Colbz! What's up?" Colby shook his head slowly and grasped his titles that lay on his shoulders, "Not here, follow me?" He spun and began to walk slowly, making sure that she was behind him as he lead her to an area of the arena that wasn't smothered with people. After the two arrived at the location, Colby set his titles and and looked over at Saraya, he ran his hand through his rather short, yet full beard and looked around, almost dreading the questions he was ready to as her.

"You set your titles down..You..never do that. Colby what's got your head in a tizzy mate? C'mon, I didn't piss ya off, did I?" Saraya was genuinely confused on what the hell was going on inside of his head. She wasn't sure if perhaps she did do something to wrong him in a way, perhaps not. After a moment or two, which seemed to drag on for what felt like an eternity, Colby broke the silence, "I..walked in on you a few months ago.." He wasn't particularly sure how to word what he was trying to get at. "When you took those nasty bumps? You gotta remember.." His eyes finally met hers and locked on and never left. Saraya knew what he was getting at..but how did he know what happened? The door was shut..wasn't it? "I..what are you gettin' at..What did you see, errr, what did you think you saw.." Saraya was still trying to sway his thinking in an effort to make him feel like perhaps he didn't know what he saw.

"April, okay? AJ? Remember her? The skipping girl?" Colby knew what he was talking about, he knew that Saraya knew he was onto something and there was no way of her getting out of it. "Don't lie to me, Raya. Why didn't you just tell me you two were a thing? Why did that have to be kept a secret?" He felt somewhat betrayed by this action, unsure of why she would keep something so important to herself like this. Colby shook his head and looked down and Saraya was filled with a feeling of regret and dread. In no way was she trying to keep it a secret from anybody, but she had to with WWE's attitude towards April after her departure at such short notice. She didn't even need to think twice, she latched onto him with her little arms and put a tiny little voice on, "I'm sowwy Colby Wolby..I just was scared to tell anyone.."

Well, at least she hugged him, a hug can go a long way when you feel like one of your closest friends has abandoned you when it comes to the truth. He hugged back with one arm and exhaled deeply, knowing that he caught her and the truth had finally been surfaced, he took a deep breath in and looked down at her, "Is that why you take phone calls in private? And AJ wasn't here to visit just me, right?" April had used Colby as a scapegoat to get to see Saraya backstage now, perhaps her split from Phil was becoming way too hard to avoid.

Saraya and AJ had always had public tension, whether it be the infamous 'boob tag' or the butt grab during AJ's last WrestleMania match, it was always televised tension, so who knows what was going on behind the scenes. Well Colby didn't have to wonder, he knew full well what was going on backstage with them. "It's alright. Just don't keep me in the damn dark anymore. I'm here for you, remember? You said besties before the resties.." Colby was still feeling hurt and in the dark, it's a terrible feeling when someone you care about keeps you in the dark over something that is SO huge and SO important.

In no way did Saraya think that she would have hurt Colby like this, she never hid from a problem. Saraya's motto over this whole thing was always, 'Have you ever wondered which hurts the most: saying something and wishing you had not, or saying nothing, and wishing you had?'..It was a fine line to walk and she always felt as if she was on the wrong side of it. She attempted to do good by everyone, by being happy with herself, she was taught at a young age to do what she wanted to do in her own pursuit of happiness. But when it comes down to it? Other people simply want you to do what THEY want for THEIR own happiness. Your own personal happiness comes second place to the human race's greedy needs. Colby in no way was like this though, he was just hurt that one of his best friends, if not his best friend, kept him in the dark over something that meant the world to her.

"Please don't me mad at me man..I didn't mean to keep shit from you. It's just fucking hard to talk about her when the entire company has it out for her like that. Not to mention you're World Champion, I wouldn't be surprised if they don't have you fuckin' wired all the time just to make sure you don't blow a fart without them knowing about it.." Saraya attempted to explain herself and Colby did listen to every word. She always knew how to make him laugh, the fart comment at a time like this was just typical Saraya being a complete goofball when it wasn't appropriate. But that's what made him grow attached to her over all this time. NXT was a dark and lonely place when it was first created, and Saraya was the first person to stick her hand into the darkness, in an attempt to get him out of his own purgatory. He never forgot that, and also he never felt as if he could repay her for her efforts.

Colby let out one of his signature cackles and smiled, shaking his head as he finally addressed what she had said to him, "Mad at you? How could I be mad at you? I'm so happy for you it's not even funny. April did often talk about you, so even if I didn't see it for myself, I'd suspect it like crazy. I'm pretty sure that I'm not wired, you have nothing to worry about. How serious are you guys? Are you still in the puppy dog stage? Or is it more or less..serious. Cause if I were to guess, it would be at the serious stage.." Even though Saraya was never the serious type unless it really were to matter. Which in this case? It did matter, quite a lot actually. Saraya smiled and let out a quiet giggle as she swatted his chest as the pale British woman pulled herself away from the hug slowly. "We have our moments of both to be honest. It's more silly, but there are..moments where we both can't avoid the serious stuff.." Simply talking about April caused her to blush a bright shade of crimson.

"I kinda figured it was like that to be honest. I honestly am so happy for you, Saraya, did you tell your mom about her yet, or are you just as terrified as you were to admit it to me.." Colby felt the need to calm her down just a tad, she needed to know that keeping a secret such as this was indeed alright. As not okay as it felt, it was actually okay in concept. The nervousness that telling a secret which carried so much weight with it was immeasurable. Colby glanced at the corner and noticed that Mercedes had poked her head around it, as Saraya looked down, Colby made sure that his own secret that involved her was not yet exposed, he motioned his head for her to leave and ended it with a smile, just assuring the woman that everything was alright and he would talk to her in just a few short moments.

Saraya never knew Mercedes was there, how could she? She wasn't Spiderman having senses to detect people behind her. She looked up at him and cleared her throat, "No, my mum doesn't know just yet. I haven't even seen her since 'Mania, how could I just call her up after all this time and be like, 'Oh heyyy mum, how are things? Good? Cool, I'm in love with April, yea the one who got fired and I could get fired too if they knew because the WWE is filled with petty assholes higher up? Yea that one, thaaanks byeee'." Colby laughed out loud now, he couldn't help himself, the WWE might just be extremely petty, but they would never fire one of their top Diva talents simply because of whom she is seeing..would they?

"I don't know if I would go, THAT far..I mean, how could they? You're on-..." As Colby was speaking, he heard what appeared to be a screaming contest going on between two rather familiar voices. He wasn't sure who it was at first but as soon as he looked at Saraya, she spoke, "That sounds like..like Bri.." And Colby's eyes widened almost consuming his entire face, "And Bryan..What the hell is going on.." He walked over to the door to hopefully hear what was going on just on the other side of it. They both looked at each other like a couple of little kids listening to their parents fight and looked down at the floor. Hearing how angry Bryan was becoming and how Bri was simply accepting it, occasionally firing back at him.

The two stood on the edge of the door and didn't make a single peep, as they were standing there, they heard footsteps approach them from behind. As the footsteps got closer and closer, they both knew inside that someone was going to be next to them in a matter of moments. "So..What are we listenin' to?" That sounded like..Saraya turned her head quickly and smiled, turns out those little footsteps belonged to her one and only.
