Mo Chuisle: Finn Balor

Chapter Eight

Blowing out a shaky breath, I crouched on the top rope, waiting for Becky to stand up. Our match had been going on for about ten minuets and the fans were into it since the beginning. Slowly standing up on the top rope, I jumped and wrapped my legs around Becky's neck and attempted to deliver a hurricanrana but when I landed on my knee, a shooting pain shot through my leg.

"Fuck," I cursed clutching my knee immediately.

The ref slid over to me, crouching by my ear. "Are you alright?"

I shook my head. "My knee. I think I came down on it wrong."

He gently placed a hand on it which caused me to sit up and swatted his hand away in pain. "I'm stopping the match."

"No, I can finish." I demanded, slowly rising to my feet. "Tell Becky to roll me up."

My eyes watched as the ref quietly told Becky the plan. I saw her eyes look over at me, wondering if I was already. I managed a quick shake and in one moment, I felt myself being rolled up and hearing Becky's music hit.

I bit back the tears as I clutched my knee as the pain got worse and tried to block out the thought of being seriously injured. I had wanted to win this match so bad but I knew with the pain I was in, there was no way I would be able to compete any time soon.

I tried to sit up but felt one of the trainers gently push me down, "Don't move Skylar. We need to check the knee out."

All I could do was nod with tears brimmed at my eyes as the trainers and refs looked my knee over. I could hear them mutter something about it being too swollen over the cheers of the crowd. They started chanting my name while two of the trainers help me sit up and slowly moved me out of the ring.

I cried out when my feet hit the ground and one of the trainers wrapped his arm around my waist to support me as we slowly made out way up the ramp, hearing the crowd continue to chant my name.

As soon as we came through the curtain, I was met with Sasha's worried face. "What happened?"

"I landed on my knee wrong." I bit my lip at the constant pain.

"I'm so sorry," Becky rushed over.

Giving her a weak smile, I shook my head. "It's not your fault, Becky. It's mine. Congratulations."

As we made our way through gorilla, my eyes blinked away the tears when I saw Finn sit up in his chair and breathed heavily as he looked over the sight in front of him. My hair was a mess, my mascara was running down because of the sweat and the tears, and my knee had swollen up two sizes. Finn continued to have the worried look on his face as he came over to me and nodded towards the trainers. "I got her."

They nodded and I felt Finn snake his arm around my waist, leading me towards the trainers room.

"Are ya alright?" Finn's voice cooed in my ear.

"No," I sobbed.

Finn squeezed my side as we walked into the room where Hunter was already waiting for us. "I'm sorry. I tried to win, I did." I choked out.

"You don't have anything to be sorry for, Skylar. I don't care about the state of your contract right now. I only care about your health."

Finn gently laid me on one of the exam beds and he slipped his hand in mine giving it a squeeze. The head medical trainer looked over my knee, mumbling something with Hunter. I wasn't paying attention, though, I was too busy thinking about my career. It was done, there was no way I would be able to wrestle again, whether it be because of my injury or because of my contract, it didn't matter. My career was over.

"Skylar, are you alright?"

Opening my eyes, they landed on someone and a noticeable groaned left my lips. I thought I was done with him. Finn's gripped tightened on my hand as he glared over to Kevin. "She's fine."

"Why don't you let her answer for once," Kevin snapped at Finn.

"God dammit!" I cried lunging forward to grasp my knee when the trainer applied pressure on it.

Kevin went to rush over but Finn stepped in front of him. "She's none of yar concern, Owens."

"But she is to you?" Kevin pointed at Finn.

"Alright that's enough you two!" Hunter's voice boomed in the little room. "Both of you, leave."

"No," the words rushed out of my mouth as tears left my eyes. "I want Finn to stay."

Finn rushed to my side, wrapping an arm around my shoulder. A curt laugh escaped Kevin's lips before he shook his head, leaving the room.

"How does it look doc?" Hunter asked once the mood was set back to how it was.

"I can't give a definitive answer until she goes for an MRI." The trainer looked over to me, "Which I recommend going first thing tomorrow morning."

The tears continued to fall as I gave him a weak nod. "We'll know the final decision then?"

"By the end of the day."

Giving him a nod of thanks, we watched him walk out of the room and Hunter looked over to Finn and I. "I'm counting on you to make sure she takes care of her knee tonight. If she even moves it wrong, she couldn't do more damage."

Finn nodded. "She'll stay with me."

My head snapped over to him. "I'm not going to do that to you, Finn. It's way too much of a burden."

"Ya don't have a say in it, lass." Finn placed a kiss on top of my head. "Eight a.m tomorrow?" He directed that towards Hunter.

He nodded and they continued to talk but I tuned them out, completely worried about the state of my career.

"Easy, Skylar." Finn cooed in my ear as we walked into his apartment.

After we left the trainers room, Finn helped me to the woman's locker room where he traded me off to Sasha so I could shower and change. While he was packing up his things, I was sulking under the hot water. He had came back a half hour later when I was dressed in a pair of sweat shorts and a hoodie and he had helped me from leaving the arena to arriving his apartment complex.

"I'm okay," I breathed when I collapsed onto his couch. My eyes glanced down to the black brace the trainer had gave me, ordering that I wore it every day.

Finn bent down in front of me, moving a loose strand of hair from my face. "Do ya need anything?"

Immediately, I nodded and placed my lips on his, giving him a quick kiss. "Thank you for this," my breath fanned over his lips.

"So much for being just friends, aye?" He laughed while running his thumb over my cheek.

"Promise me you won't hurt me?" I asked, causing the conversation to turn to a serious one.

"Promise." He spoke before placing his lips on mine, kissing me with force.
