Loving Him Is Red* WWE Fanfic

Part 30

you asked me, why all of the sudden
i went to bed early
every single night
but i could not tell you,
that sleep was my escape.
that it was because
it was only in my dreams,
you would kiss me. -- Unknown.

"Paige, you're having a match against Summer Rae today." Mark says as I'm walking down the hall.

I nod my head as I internally roll my eyes. Ugh. Summer. "Oh and tell Nattie that she's going against Fox." He says. "Okay, I'll tell her."

I walk towards the locker room, "Hey Nattie?" I say, "Yes?" She says as she puts her hair up in a bun. "You have a match tonight against Fox." I say and she nods her head, "Aright cool. Are you wrestling?"

"Yeah." I say with a sigh. "Against?" She asks. "Summer." I say bitterly. "Bless your soul!" Aj says putting her hand against her chest. We start laughing but stop once Summer and Emma walk in.

"So did you hear? We're having a match." She says as she walks by me. "Mhm." I say and she grins, "Get ready to lose loser."

"Mhmm." I say once again as I take out my attire from my bag. Nattie and Aj chuckle and Summer rolls her eyes angrily, "You're so annoying."

"Mhmmmmm." I say with a smirk. Emma whispers something and Summer simply turns around and takes out her attire. Aj and Nattie give me a thumbs up and a smile.

After I get my hair and makeup done I wait backstage for my call. My match is up next. My hands are sweating and my heart is beating loudly against my chest.

It's not that I don't think I can't beat Summer. It just makes me nervous because usually I'd have Emma here by my side.

It still hurts me that she's not speaking to me. It sucks not having her as my friend. I hear giggling and footsteps. I turn around and see Summer, Punk, and Emma.

They stand beside me and I keep looking ahead as the nervousness hits my body. I hear kissing noises and I image that it's Summer and Punk. I turn my head and see Emma on her phone.

I don't know what hits me, maybe my adrenaline but I reach over and tap Emma. She looks up and gives me a nasty look.

"Can I talk to you?" I whisper. She looks at me and then down at her phone. "I have nothing to talk to you about." She says. "Emma please-" I grab her shoulder and she pushes me away harshly. "No!" She screams loudly.

I flinch stepping back as Summer and Punk stare. "Ladies you're up." A voice says. I try my best to stop looking at Emma but I can't help it. Emma is acting so cold and harsh towards me. I don't even recognize her.

"Go ahead and do what you do best." She tells Summer with a smile. Her theme music starts first and she walks out with Punk. Before he walks away he looks towards my direction and laughs. 

Emma turns around and leaves once Summer walks out. My chin is quivering as I remember how she pushed me away. My theme song starts playing and I take a deep breath as I push my feelings aside.

On my way toward the ring I see a sign that says "Roman and Paige <3". I try not to feel butterflies as I step on the ring.

The bell rings and I immediately go to attack Summer. As our match goes on I'm getting tired of Summer running away. She's sneaky.  Every time I try to hit her she either rolls out of the ring or Punk distracts the referee.

I run towards her but I am met by a kick in the chest. As I lean down she kicks me on the jaw and I fall in pain. I grab my jaw as she pins me. "That's right loser. Give up." She says with a grin.

As the referee counts two I kick out. She groans in annoyance and grabs me by the hair. The referee tell her to let go and when she does she slams my head against the mat.

I curl up on a corner and grab my head lightly as I feel the room spinning. I hear the crowd chanting my name and I get the courage to get up. My adrenaline shoots through my blood and I get he strength to punch her on the nose.

"Is that all you got freak? A punch? You're so weak. No wonder Emma got tired of you. You're not just weak, you're also a traitor." She says as we stand face to face.

I clench my fist and push her so hard that she falls out of the ring. Punk gets her up and I get out of the ring. "Stay out of it!" I scream as Punk stands in front of her to protect her.

"No! She's done!" He screams. The referee starts counting and I feel my anger risen. "I say stay out of it!"

I try to push him away but Summer keeps standing behind him hugging his waist. "No!" He screams and Summer grins. My fury only gets worse and I punch Punk across the face.

I feel a sharp pain shoot through my knuckles but at the same time I feel a strong satisfaction. Summer's mouth drops open as the crowd goes wild. Punk grabs his jaw and looks at me furious.

"You do not touch me! Do you understand?" He says grabbing me by he wrist. I try to pull away but his grip only gets tighter. Suddenly I hear Romans theme song playing and Punk lets me go quickly.

He sees Roman running towards him and he puts Summer in front of him. Summer screams as Roman barely has time to stop. She flinches and Roman breathes out angrily.

Punk grabs Summer and they jump into he crowd. Roman starts screaming things at Punk and he keeps shaking his head as he pulls Summer behind him.

Romans theme song starts playing again and I stand there not knowing what to do. He looks at me and I shyly look down.

I feel myself begin to blush and I start to walk backstage. I feel Roman behind me and a camera flashing as we walk by. "He didn't hurt you did he?" He asks once we're backstage.

I shake my head no and he nods, "Good." He then stays quiet and after a few seconds he walks away. I feel myself smile as I stare at the floor.

It makes me feel like he cares.
