To Be Torn Between Two

Chapter 22: Before & Draft-er Part 2

"I can't believe it!" Layla exclaimed, jumping to her feet. "I can't believe that you're actually going!"

"Me neither..." Kelly mumbled, sadly. Randy who still had his arm tightly wrapped around her shoulders, gave her a reassuring squeeze. She was actually going to Smackdown. At least she had both John and Randy there with her.

"I can..." Eve muttered smugly. "I mean with you gone, Divas that can actually wrestle will be able to show their talent." Kelly felt her heart stop at the brunette's comment.Eve, why do you keep doing this to me? Why do you hate me so much? Why? Kelly asked herself endless amount of questions. She felt the burning sensation of tears threatening to fall from her eyes.

"Eve, give it a rest already" Cody stated, quite fed up with the brunette's actions. He stood up, brushing past an emotional Layla and walking up to the blonde. "Kel, you're going to be fine over on Smackdown. You have Randy and John over there with you, plus, you can call us at anytime."

"Whatever you do, don't call me" Eve muttered. Cody ignored the brunette's comment and gave the blonde a half smile. Kelly, felt tears roll down her cheeks and that was when pulled her into a tight hug.

"You're going to be fine Kel" Cody soothed as he rubbed circles on her back, in attempt to comfort her. Randy looked up at his best buddy. How was he going to take care of Kelly when he clearly still had feelings for her? Not to mention John probably wouldn't even let him go near her. Kelly pulled away from Cody, a small smile appearing on her tear-stained face.

"You make sure you kick butt when you debut on Raw, ok?" Kelly said to him, causing Cody to chuckle lowly.

"I will Kel..." he answered and stepped aside so Kelly could say goodbye to the others.

"Punkie" Kelly started, and Punk raised an eyebrow at the new found nickname. "I wish you all the best with your recovery. You're in good hands with everyone here."

"Thanks Blondie." Punk grinned as he gave her a new nickname. "All the best. Smackdown isn't all that bad, trust me" Punk said. "Oh and I would give you a hug but I'm still a little sore" he added with a cheeky smirk. Sure, he didn't like her, after all Kelly did hurt the woman he was in love with, Eve. The Straight Edge Superstar, however, wasn't going to be immature about the issue, he was going to treat Kelly with the respect she deserved.

"That's alright Punk" Kelly half-smiled at him, however, she could feel Eve's deadly gaze upon her. She turned to her ex-best friend, unsure of what to say to her. She thought it would be best to begin with an apology. "Eve...I'm sorry I-"

"Kelly save it for someone who cares. You and I aren't friends anymore, do you understand? I lost all my damn respect for you when you fell in love with my boyfriend! You were never happy for me...ever! You broke my heart! You betrayed me! You destroyed my relationship with-"

"Eve, that's enough!" Randy, who had been relatively silent until now, yelled. I broke your heart, Eve? No...No you are wrong! So wrong! You broke my heart! You made my life a living hell! You threatened to tell John that I had feelings for Randy! You were my best friend! Kelly fumed, silently. "What happened between us wasn't completely Kelly's fault!" Eve raised her eyebrows at him, completely taken aback by The Viper's yelling. "I am partially at fault for our break up! I was in the wrong!"

"You damn were!" Eve fired back at him. "What the hell were you thinking?" Randy now wore an arrogant grin upon his handsome face. "Wipe that stupid grin off your face! I don't find this funny at all!"

"Why should I listen to anything you say? I'm not a love sick puppy of yours, in fact, I'm not a love sick puppy full stop!"

"Bullshit! That's bullshit Randy and you know it!" Eve fired back at him. Layla pinched the bridge of her nose. Why were her friends always fighting? Why?
