I rushed to my locker room, grabbed my stuff, then rushed to TJ's locker room. I grabbed his stuff, and rushed into the parking lot. Becky gave me the keys to her car, so I unlocked the car and got in as quick as I could. I turned the engine on, and drove to the hospital TJ was being taken to. I rushed there as quick as I could, and pulled into the parking lot. I ran inside, and ran up to the reception desk. She told me that I would have to sit down and wait. How could I when my brother might be dying, or already dead?

◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼After Raw finished somehow, and everyone came to the hospital as soon as they could◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼
I was pacing around the waiting room, anxious to find out if he was ok. A nurse walked out and asked if anyone was related to TJ. I walked over and told her yes. She led me down a hallway, and stopped just outside of a surgery room that was currently in use.

Nurse: Your brother is in there.
N: What's he getting surgery for?
Nurse: A piece of debris from the bomb got lodged in his left shoulder. It went in pretty deep.
N: I have to see him.
I got around the nurse, and ran to the door for the surgery room. I opened it, just to see the doctors put him under again. I yelled his name, and the doctors turned to look at me. Several nurses pulled me out of the room, and dragged me back to the waiting room where everyone else is. The girls came over, and got me out of the nurses arms.
N: TJ! No! Please! Noooo!
I broke down crying, in front of pretty much everyone on the main roster, and some people from NXT. The girls pulled me over to a row of seats where they were sitting at, sat me down, then they all sat down.

Char: Hey, hey, hey. What's wrong?
N: What's wrong? My brother is getting surgery because of the bomb that went off, and I can't do anything about it! I was the one going to die, and now he is! What the fuck am I supposed to do? Huh?!
Becks: He'll be ok! I promise you.
N: Sure. I'll just hope that it starts raining fucking gummy bears then!
MA: Hey, TJ is going to be fine. We'll all help him and you. You're family to us. You're family to me.
Cedric: Yeah, he'll pull through. The man's tough. And he'll be thinking of you.
Gallagher: TJ's a fighter. He'll be fighting for you, I know that.
Bate: Exactly. Just remember. We'll all have your back. If anyone threatens you, we'll beat them to a pulp, lass.
Buddy: We'll help you in any way we can. We just want to make sure that you and your brother are safe.
N: That...kinda makes me feel a bit better. Thank you. All of you.

Mostly everybody had to leave, except for Becky, Cedric and Mustafa Ali. Becky grabbed some blankets and pillows out of her car, in case we would need them. We ended up using them, because we all fell asleep pretty quickly.

◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼The next morning at 9 o'clock ◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼
Cedric must have been the first to wake up, because he ended up waking the rest of us up.

MA: What the hell, man? I'm trying to sleep.
Cedric: Shoosh, you. One of the nurses woke me up, saying that we could be able to visit TJ if we wanted to.
N: Of course we want to visit him!
Becks: Come on guys. What are we waiting for?

Cedric got the nurse that told him we could visit TJ, and we got up, grabbed the blankets and pillows, and followed Cedric and the nurse. She led us to a room on the right floor, and allowed us to go inside. When I saw TJ, I dropped the pillow and blanket I was holding and ran to the chair that was on the right side of his bed. I grabbed his hand, seeing if he would squeeze it back. He did, and I started crying again, covering my mouth to stop the noises of me crying.

N: TJ? Can you hear me? Please be okay.
TJ: *faintly* Yeah, I can.
MA: Welcome back, buddy.
TJ: Hey Ali. Hey Cedric. Hey Becky.
Becks&Cedric: Hey TJ.
N: Thank god you're ok.
TJ: God had nothing to do with it.
TJ pulled something out of the back pocket of his jeans, and I realised what it was. He had somehow managed to snatch the water totem from my neck.
N:*grabs it and puts it back around my neck* Teej. Seriously. I'm glad you're ok.
TJ: So am I. So, have you given it any thought yet?
N: No, I haven't. I'll talk to you about it when we're alone.
Becks: We can leave if you want.
N: No, please don't go. Stay.

And stay they did. They set the blankets up to make some beds on the ground. I helped Becky arrange everything so we could be comfortable, and Mustafa came back from Wendy's because he was holding some fast food bags. We divided the food equally, and gave some food to TJ as well so he wouldn't have to suffer from the pains of hospital food. We all had a massive chatting session. Becky and I got to know Cedric and Mustafa. Turns out they've been friends with TJ since they first met each other. It's pretty cool actually, because they've been best friends for years. Mustafa asked me if we could talk for a bit outside, and I said yes. He gently helped me up by my right hand, and gently pulled me down the corridor away from TJ's room.

MA: There's something you should know. About the bomb that went off.
N: What is it, Ali?
MA: One of the board members had it planted. They absolutely hate how you've become a massive star in just a few weeks.
N: It shouldn't really matter to them.
MA: They're part of the board that oversees everything that happens at Raw. That's why they planted it. They wanted it to go off when you walked past, that way you would be out of the picture.
N: I just...this is a lot to take in Ali. Are you sure this is what you heard?
MA: I walked past it earlier, and heard a faint ticking. Then I saw the board member. I forced him to tell me everything. And that's how I know. I was actually the one that helped you up after it went off. I saw...TJ. I called the ambulance for him.

I hugged Mustafa. He doesn't really know me, but he helped me. And he helped my brother. I just hope he's OK by WrestleMania. Mustafa walked me back to the room, and let me go in first. I sat back in my chair next to TJ's bed. Becky got up, and grabbed her stuff that she brought in, including the blanket and pillow she used.
N: Why are you leaving?
Becks: Smackdown. We gotta be there in about 15 minutes.
N: That means I gotta leave, don't I?
MA: Yeah, it does.
TJ: They'll keep you safe. Or I'll interrupt their match at WrestleMania and beat them senseless.
C: We wouldn't hurt a fly.
MA: You punched about 5 butterflies when we were walking to the entrance of this place.
C: Oh. Yeah, I guess I did. Well, we wouldn't hurt your sister and her best friend.
N&Beck's: Well beat you two if you even try anything. 

I hugged TJ and said goodbye, so did the other three. We packed up our stuff, and went to our respective cars. We drove to the arena, and thought it would be best to share a locker room. Becky and I told the guys to wait outside, so we could change into our ring gear. Once we were done, we walked out with our hairstyles matching each other. I obviously had the headband still on, cause I couldn't risk taking it off. I fixed the amulet up, and I was done. The boys went in so they could get changed, and emerged a few minutes later.

◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼Halfway through Smackdown, at the beginning of mine and Becky's match◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼
Becky and I were warming up together near the Guerilla. Our match was about to start, so we thought it would be best to warm up together and give each other pointers. One of the technicians told Becky that she was up. She got ready to go out, and then her music hit. She disappeared out through the curtains, and then I was told to get ready. Once Becky finished prepping herself in the ring, it was time for me to go out. I did my entrance, but finished it the same way that TJ would. I smirked at Becky, and she winked right back at me.

The ref signalled for the bell to ring, so Becky and I instantly locked up. I pushed her to the ropes, and flung her into the opposite ropes, and hit her with a huge clothesline. She got back on her feet, and got met with a dropkick straight to the jaw. Becky and I exchanged blows while we were laying on the mat. I backed away from her, but after I told her to stay at the bottom turnbuckle. She did as I said, and I backed away. When I was at the ring post opposite Becky, I dropped down to the ground and got in position for the Spiderman crawl. I stuck my tongue out, like I was a goanna showing off. I pulled Becky up by her hair, and did a Pelee kick. I quickly went for the cover. 1! 2! 3! I got up, and allowed my hand to be raised in victory by the ref. I snatched my hand away, and helped Becky up. We were so focused on looking at the WrestleMania sign while we were walking backwards, I didn't even notice someone tapping my shoulder. Becky and I turned around, and saw that it was Cedric and Mustafa. They hugged us, and we hugged them back. They raised mine and Becky's hand in victory, because they knew that we deserve it.

And TJ deserves to be able to get out of that hospital and back into the squared circle before WrestleMania.
