Be My Shield

Chapter 80: Break

"No, you choose now," Joe demanded.

Everyone turned towards him surprised. He looked at all three of them in disappointment it was obvious he was the most mature during the situation. He was the one who always brought peace.

"I can't believe you two even considering it." Joe snapped at Jon and Colby.

"And you why would you say some stupid shit like that." Joe snapped at Maya.

"I'm taking control of this now. If anyone finds out Maya is right, she'll be out I need you to find different ways so that she can make a final decision." Joe explained.

Maya's face dropped as did Colby's and Jon's when they looked at her. Maya was stuck in everything she didn't know who to choose. Desperately her eyes met with Joe's he took a deep breath as he looked at her. Suddenly, he has seen that teenager that lost teen again in her eyes lost, afraid and unsure.

"Until you make up your mind we're going to go. You need to have time to think for yourself." Joe stated.

Jon and Colby looked at one another sadness and furry filling their eyes. Colby's anger took over as he glanced at Maya one last time tears building in her eyes as he stormed out leaving the door wide open. Jon looked at Maya for what seemed like his last time as he walked out the door leaving Maya behind. Joe looked at Maya one time and walked towards the door Maya knew that she was going to break soon.

"Joe," Maya said almost inaudible.

Joe continued walking to the door not wanting to face the girl. Knowing that if he would he'd tell her the truth, his truth, he couldn't do it.

"Joe, please," Maya's voice cracked.

"Good luck Maya."

Joe closed the door as Maya stood in the middle of the room before she broke down in tears. For what seemed like an eternity Maya was in the middle of the floor crying her eyes out with only one thought going through her mind. Why did I do this? Her body was trembling as she finally rose to her feet walking to the bedroom of the hotel. She walked to her suitcase and pulled out her laptop composing an email for the WWE that she'd be taking a break a long break from the company. As if her mind already preplanned the email she began typing.

'Dear WWE Company,

To whom it may concern I will be taking a break from the WWE. There's a lot of drama and energy circulating the WWE right now and I feel like it's my fault and I apologize. I know it's not a good excuse as to why I'm leaving, but I've been working in the WWE for years ever since I was 16 turning 17 and I am now in my early 20's. I've been working here non-stop for years and I never took a break unless it was due to something medical and at one point I was working on an injury. I've helped this company grow and I've also inspired many people to follow their dreams especially young teens. All I'm saying is that I'llbe gone for a month, two at the most. Plus, with me being gone the tension backstage shall lessen and the air should be slightly better. Thank you for everything and I'll see you when I return.

Yours truly,

Maya'

Maya took a deep breath after composing the email hitting send and packing her bags. She went into the bathroom and took a shower changing into light blue jeans, a white t-shirt and putting her hair into a high ponytail. She grabbed a jacket as she ordered the last minute plane ticket and calling an uber. Maya walked downstairs with all her bags as Finn, Sasha and Dolph stood next to her waiting for her uber. Maya turned and locked eyes with Finn as she sent a weak smile towards him that he returned Finn walked over to Maya placing a kiss on her forehead as Sasha hugged Maya tightly.

"Text us when you get off your flight. We have to go, babe see you." Sasha said as she and Finn walked away.

Dolph was the only person left as they sat and waited for Maya's uber. He placed his hand in Maya's as they interlocked fingers. Not a minute later Maya's uber arrived as her eyes met with Dolph's he looked quite sad. He let go of Maya's hand piling her bags up in the uber and finally opening the door for her. Dolph grabbed Maya's hand again kissing it then her forehead.

"Be safe kiddo, take some time to focus on you," Dolph informed her.

"Nick," Maya started catching his attention since she never uses his real name.

"Can you Finn and Sasha not tell anyone where I went or disappeared to? I don't want anyone to look for me." Maya explained.

"You got it kid."

"Thank you."

With that Nick closed the door as the uber drove off. Maya put in her earphones and zoned out completly not trying to think of anything. It seemed as if it was only minutes that she was at the airport, but in all honesty it was an hour. She arrived at the airport going through her search as she grabbed her bags again. She turned around thinking of the other time she was leaving as she seen her boys watching her leave, but this time she turned around to no one.

Maya released a deep breath as she went on the plane. She sat in the middle seat unfortunately she put in her earphones as everyone started load on the plane from cranky elders, crying babies to her pestering thoughts this plane ride was going to be horrible. The only thing she could think of that was worse was not knowing who to pick. Who she deserved and who deserved her? Slowly she began to close her eyes.
