Torn

I flipped to my right side only to flip back to my left side just to end up on my back I slam my hands down on the mattress as I grab my phone to see its two thirty in the morning. I sit up finally giving up on sleep for the night I grab my gym clothes and get dressed once I'm ready I grab my key card and cell phone and make my way to the hotel gym.

I stepped on the treadmill plug my headphones in and let Disturbed's indestructible take me away from reality after about thirty minutes I hit stop and grab a towel wiping the sweat away and take a drink of water I convince myself to go and do squats my second rep in I see the door open as a happy Bayley comes walking in followed by Seth I turn away from them and continue my work out after I was done I grabbed my stuff to leave walking past them I stare at the floor as I walk until I see a sparkle that catches my eye I jerk my head up to see the smiling face of Charly and then look back down at the sparkle before I take off to the elevator I rush into my room and collapsed on the bed letting the tears take over me.

"Wes" Alexa's voice comes from the bathroom "Wes, What's wrong?" she asked pulling me into her

"It' was Corey" I said in between sobs

"What was him?" She asked rubbing my back

"His toothpick pile had the most" I said crying harder into my hands

"Wes you're confusing me" Alexa said "What are you talking about?" she added

"Me and Finn played twenty questions at the bar one night and I used toothpicks to answer the question and he told me that maybe it will help clear my head and after answering them we got to the last one which in Finn's word is the only one that needed to be answered I dropped a tooth pick on the left side giving his pile twelve" I told her

"It's always been Corey it's always going to be him but it's too late" I said looking down at my feet

"No it's not" Alexa said "Go talk to him and tell him that" she said

"He's engaged" I said barley above a whisper before the tears fell again

I stumbled through the doors of the arena a lack of sleep mixed with the emotions from today has me a bit on edge I walk towards the production board to locate which way to catering I'm in need for a big ass cup of coffee I leave my bags in Finn's locker room before heading in that direction

"Wes" I hear that voice that causes knots to form in my stomach I turn on my heel to look at him with a huge fake smile on my face

"Hey Cor." I said looking at him "What's up?' I asked

"Look umm I wanted to talk to you about something" he said rubbing his neck I felt my breath catch in my throat I nod my head telling him to go on

"I just wanted to tell you in person before you heard from the locker room or social media, but umm" he said taking a deep breath while trying to find his words

"You're engaged" I say for him

"Wes" he went to say but I put my hand up stopping him

"I seen Charly in the gym" I said "Congrats" I say smiling "but I really need to get a cup of coffee" I said turning to walk off

"You don't get to be mad" he yelled "This is your fault. You did this and now you have to deal with it" he said

I turned and looked at him before saying "I know that. I have known that for the past year but that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt Corey" I said as the tears threaten to come out

"Do you remember when you said that I already knew what I wanted?" I asked he nodded his head yes

"Well you were right I did known but it wasn't that I was scared that it wouldn't be everything I hoped for because I knew it would be. I was scared I wouldn't be everything you hoped for I didn't want you to propose to me because I wanted you too I just wanted us to have a future" I said wiping the tears from my cheeks

"So once again congrats I wish you the best" I said walking off leaving him standing there
