Natalya runs to me and knocks me down. I fall on my back and the breath is knocked out of me.

She runs to pin me but I kick out at two. Natalya grabs me harshly and swings at me. I move and she misses.

She turns around and before she hits me I move out the way and she falls out of the ring. Bayley is at commentary today.

I get out of the ring and Bayley stops talking to look at me. I smile wickedly as I grab Natalya by the hair.

She yells as I turn her around. I sit on her stomach as I bang her head against the floor. Bayley is looking at me do it and I smile some more.

This is part of my character. Mind games are my specialty. Unfortunately these mind games don't help me in real life.

Because in real life I'm vulnerable and weak. I have no confidence whatsoever. This is why I enjoy wrestling so much because I can transform into a strong woman.

The referee starts counting and I quickly get in the ring. I think I'm going to win but Natalya rolls in the ring at the last minute.

I run to her and put her on the black widow. She screams and tries to resist the pain. In a few seconds she taps out.

My theme song starts playing and I skip around the ring laughing. When I get tired of skipping around the ring I skip backstage.

"Good job tinkerbell." Dean says as he greets me backstage. "Thank you." I smile. He shakes his dripping wet hair as he grabs a water bottle.

"Who's your match against?" I ask as he takes a drink. "Harper." He replies with a smile. "Why the smile?"

"It's always fun to wrestle with him. He makes it fun. He's creepy and smart like me." He smirks. "Well good luck."

"Thanks pookie. Well I'm going to get going my match is up next." He winks and goes by me. I walk to the locker room to get changed.

"What's up momma?" Paige asks as I walk in. "Nothing much. Just won a match so yay." I say with a grin.

"You always beat ass." She replies. "You have a match tonight?" I ask staring at her gear. "Yes I do. And guess against who? Your favorite person."

"Sasha huh?" I don't realize how bitter my voice sounds until Paige gives me a look. "Yes. I'll try my best to beat her."

"You can do it."  I say taking off my attire. After I get changed we walk out. We stand in front of a tv backstage to watch Deans match.

I smile as I stare at the screen. "How're things with Dean?" Sasha asks. Paige keeps looking at the tv but I know she's listening.

"Great." I say giving her a smile. She smiles and raises her eyebrows. "Really?" I nod my head and she gives me another smile.

There's something different about it though. This time I know it's real. A real smile and that makes me anxious.

"Not for long." She says as she walks by me. "What?" I ask turning to her. "I said the match won't last that long."

She walks away smiling and Paige looks at me. "Let's hope she was talking about the match." She says. I nod my head, "Yeah."

•••
I glance at my clock when I hear the knocking. It's 11:24 p.m. When I peek on the peep hole I see Dean.

It's strange because he never comes this late. I open the door smiling. "Hey." He smiles but there's something off about it. "What's up short stack?"

"Nothing much I'm reading." I say as I sit on my bed. "Author?" He asks as he sits beside me.

"Ellen Hopkins. She's amazing." I say with a sigh. "Yes you've mentioned her before." I look at him surprised, "You remember?"

"I remember everything pookie. Now read me a verse." He says laying down. He closes his eyes and I look at him.

He must feel hat I'm staring at him because he opens his eyes, "What are you waiting for?" I chuckle, "You were being serious?" He nods his head.

"Okay. I'll read you the page I'm on." He nods his head again and I open my book. Before I read it I clear my throat.

"Love
Is
a curious thing. Sometimes
it barrels into you, leaves you
breathless. Other times, it comes
in-
to your life, a tentative beam
of morning sun sneaking
through the blinds, and you think
this
light isn't possible. The shutters
are drawn. Night should linger
on. I don't feel like waking. Yet the
room
comes slowly lit. Sleep slithers
away, and at last you can no
longer deny the dawning."

"Wow. That was... poetic." He says. I close my book again and look down at him. "It was. Why are you here though? I'm sure you're not here to listen to me read book verses."

Dean sits up and scoots closer to me. "Yeah I'm here to talk to you about something." He slowly says. "What is it?" I ask smiling.

"They broke up!" He says with a grin. My smile slowly fades away. "What?" Clearly I heard what he said but I'm in so much shock I don't know what to say.

"Sasha and Randy broke up! We did it!" He laughs and hugs me. "Oh." So that's what Sasha meant when she said not for long. When Dean pulls away I try my best to smile.

"That's great." He nods excitedly. "It is! We finally got what we wanted. Sasha is going to be mine and Randy will be yours."

"Yeah." I say nodding. He stops smiling and sighs. "Uh, so I guess it's time to end this." The words slip out of his mouth so easily it makes me ache.

"Yeah." I say again feeling the air out of my lungs slowly being sucked out. "Thank you for helping me. I appreciate it."

"Sure. No problem. I'm glad I could help." Every second that goes by my chest only tightens more.

He hugs me once again and then pulls away. "Well, I'll let you rest. Have a goodnight. I'll see you... around."

He walks to the door and smiles as he opens it. When he walks out I get the urge to scream for him to come back. Because I know this is the end.

I know after this it won't be the same no more.
And it sucks because I don't want to lose that.

I don't want to lose him.
