After telling Dean off, I pushed my way through him and Fergal and walked to my locker room. I sat there for a minute or two before breaking down. The waterworks came and then never stopped. I felt like something was pressing down on me and I couldn't breathe. Eventually Paige ran in.~Paige's POV~
"Gabi love, breathe. What's wrong," I tried to calm her down but it was no use.
I was freaking out and the only person I knew to call was Finn. I ran out to the hallway and found him after a couple minutes.
"Finn it's Gabi, she's uh sh-she can't stop crying and I can't-I don't know what to do."
We both ran back to her locker room only to see her sobbing even harder than before.
"Gabriella calm down," Finn said while trying to hug her but she refused.
"Just get out!," she screamed at him but he didn't move.
"Gab-"
"Go!," this time he did and once he left she cried even more.
"Gabi what's wrong?"
"I can't stop! Why can't I stop?! What's wrong with me?!," she screamed even louder while sobbing into the coach.
"Gabi breathe!"
I, for the life of me, couldn't figure out what was wrong with her. She was just balling her eyes out for hours on end and she barely stopped.
Finally she stopped to speak,"Finn! Why'd he leave?!"
"Gabi you can't tell people to go and then blame them for leaving. You told him to get out! You told him to leave! He's probably busy doing his job so you can't sit here and complain about him leaving when you told him to go!"
My yelling made her cry even harder, because of course, I'm the one who yells at a already crying girl. I even had to bring Stephanie in there to show her how much of a mess Gabi was, so she would get the night off. After another hour, she finally stopped sobbing and was just crying. Then she asked me to go get Finn.
~Fergal's POV~
I was just done with my segment and was about to go to catering when Paige stopped me.
"Uh Finn, she's asking for you," she told me.
At first, I was hesitant since I saw how psychotic she was earlier, but ended up going anyway. When I got there she was still crying but not as badly as before. I cradled her like the baby she is, and Paige left us alone.
"Fergal, I'm sorry."
"Shh, shhh. It's alright, you lost your shit for awhile there but it's alright. You're okay Gabi, you're gonna be just fine."
We sat there until it was time to go to the next city. By that time Gabi was calm and not crying anymore. Everything just caught up to her and she needed to let it out, but she's okay.
~The next day~
~Gabi's POV~I woke up embarrassed. I couldn't believe that I had a complete breakdown at work and everyone heard about it. It was absolutely mortifying! All the staff and wrestlers looked at me like I had just killed a man with my bare hands right in front of them. So I hid behind Fergal the whole day, avoiding any and every one that I could.
"Gabi you need to go face the world."
"No, they'll just look at me like I'm insane!"
"They have a right. Now you can't just hide from everyone until the day you retire, so just go out there."
I, forcibly, listened to Finn's advice and stepped out of my locker room by myself. I was okay until a group of people ran up to me.
"Gabi are you okay?"
"I heard you cried for the whole day yesterday over Dean, is that true?"
"You broke down at work and you showed up today, I could never."
It was all too much. I just stood there at a lose of words and in shock, until someone pulled me away.
"You really gotta learn to stick up for yourself. It's kind of embarrassing," it was Roman and Seth.
"Oh, okay. So we're still friends?"
"You and Dean are gonna crawl back to each other eventually, so might as well keep the friendship going," Seth said, which caused Roman to hit him.
"He's putting up an act. He misses you like crazy, but he's too much of a "man" to admit it," Roman clarified.
"Hmm, cute but I haven't been missing either of you lately, so there's no reason to keep this up. Bye," I said about to walk away when Roman pulled me back.
"That's not how this work."
"Really? Then how does any of this work, exactly? You're friend of my ex, the same ex who I'm trying to get over. I'm sorry, I love you guys, I really do, but staying friends with you is not good for me," I said then walked away from two years of an amazing friendship.
I went right back to my locker room, clearly not ready to face the chaos my breakdown had caused. The only two people I was okay talking to were Paige and Finn. They both thought that if we just sat in catering until my match, that I would get used to the idea of facing people. It worked out, no one looked at me weirdly, no whispers, and no one came up to me asking me about what happened. Everyone seemed to forget about it and I could just move on.
That was of course, until I got a call from Nikki later that day. "Hi Nicole."
"Hey Gabriella. How are you?"
"I'm good, and you?"
"I'm fine. So, I heard you're having a rough couple of days, and was wondering if you wanted to come to the Kids Choice Awards with me and John?"
"Nicole, are you kidding me?! I don't need your pity invite to a show your boyfriend is hosting as a pick me up! I'm not some broken, pathetic little girl who needs her sister to come piece her back together!"
"It's not a pity invite! I wanted to hang out with you, and give you the opportunity to get away from all the drama! The fact that you twisted into me inviting you somewhere out of pity, is insane! Just forget that I invited you, bye!"
"Whatever, bye," I said then hung up.
"Gabi, what the hell is wrong with you?," Paige yelled.
"What?"
"Nikki was being nice to you and you yell at her, accusing her of crazy things."
"I don't need her to try to save me! I don't need her to give me an opportunity to run away from everything! I don't need her to be breathing down my neck and come running the second anything goes wrong!"
"So what, trying to help you is against the law now?!"
"I don't have the time or energy to sit here and argue with you," I said then walked away from Paige.
I was fuming and frustrated with everything. I walked outside of the arena and looked up at the stars in the night sky, and couldn't help but wonder, how did I end up here?

I'm sorry it took so long to put out this chapter! I've been really busy with school and sports, and my weekends are my only chill days so I wrote only a little at a time. Plus, I had a lot of writers block with this chapter so that didn't help. I'll try to put out the next chapter ASAP, once I figure out what I want to happen in it. Sorry if you guys got impatient waiting for this chapter, and I know it's not the best one but I'll work on that. Much love to all of you and thank you for the support!~P
