Hanging on the Edge

Long night

Edge dragged me in the locker room and sat down on a bench bringing me with him. He clasped his hands over his face and seemed trying not to get angry.

"You're probably wondering why I told you to come here," he took his hands off his face. He's asking me this now! "Truth is, I really do need to talk to you," Oh,really! "You couldn't wait," Edge glared at my response. "My point is," he swiped hair out of his face before continuing. "Have you ever had a person close to you, you lost and you thought you would never get back because of yourself?" What is he talking about? Is he mourning a death? But I can put myself in his spot. I meant ally rolled my eyes before answering "Yeah, my dad. He passed away in a car accident,"it took a lot to say that cause I didn't say it out loud for so long. Edge's face soften when I told him that. "How do you deal with the pain?" I took time to think of it and thought of the first time he brought me in a wrestling ring. My memory was great, I was 2. "I think of a happy memory of me and him. But I also remember that he told me one day that everything was going to be alright no matter what," he smiled and hugged me. Wait, did he just hug me? I hugged him back. "Thank you," I wanted to ask him why he wanted to know but now was not a good time. I hugged him back instead.

He looked up at me, "My condolences," "for what?" "You're father, you must've had a good relationship with him," I scratched the back of my head. "Yeah, you could say that," I looked at the monitor and saw that Nat won. "You better see how Natalya is," "um, Yeah I should. Goodbye Edge,"

I walked ou t of the room and jogged to the curtain. I stopped when I saw Nat coming out of it. She looked around until she spotted me and walked over. "Hey, where were you?" The cameras were filming us. "I'm sorry, Edge wanted to talk about something but couldn't wait so he dragged me," I gave her a look that you couldn't see from the camera angle. She then seemed to realize and nod. "Alright, I forgive you but don't do that again, Kay?" "Kay,"

Aug 8th 1998
"Nat!" I yelled from the hotel bed in the bathroom. Nat peeked her head out of the door. "What's wrong, Lex?" I stood up straight but felt the worst cramps ever. "I think I have my period," my stomach clutches tighter and I fall back down. Nat raises her eyebrows, I felt like I had my period bug much worse than usual. Nat walked towards me looking a little confused, she tried to help me up and wrapped her arm around me for support. She noticed I looked horrible. "Lex, this isn't normal. What happened?" She asked as she grabbed tampons from a bag. "Food poisoning," I suggested. I felt like throwing up and just sleeping. When she got us in the bathroom I started putting it in. I thought about some of the things that could help me with my cramp, ginger! "I need ginger," I said when I lifted my pants and sat on the toilet. It was an old trick but it worked.

She sighed, "alright, I'll go down and get some," Nat made sure j got on the bed without fainting or collapsing and got out. This feels horrible! I thought to myself.

Natty's POV
I walked down the gall to go to the elevator. It's so weird, we both never got cramps that bad. What happened? She was done the whole week, why now?

I shrugged it off and got in the elevator. I heard the dings go on and on until it stopped at a different floor. I looked up to see Edge. Shit, does it have to be you right now! He looked at me up and down and got in the elevator. I kept my eye on him. He must've noticed because he spoke up right after, "what?" I cocked my eyebrow up. "Well, thanks for dragging Lexi away from me!" He looked at me like his answer was obvious. "Hey! She was placed with me for a reason. Me, not you, me. As far as I'm concerned, she's not your problem or manager." Excuse you! He looked around. "Where is she anyway?" He asked me. Should I tell him? I tensed up. "She's in our room," I left I like that. When the doors opened, I rushed out of the elevator.

Edge's POV
There is something off about Natalya. She seemed nervous, possibly scarred. But of what? Me? I decided to make sure she was alright.

I went down the hall to her room, according to our file. I knocked on the door.

Lexi's POV
I heard a knock on the hotel door. Nat wouldn't be back this quick, would she? As I groan with tiredness I got up and walked over to the door and opened it. That used up a lot of energy.

I looked through the door to see Edge. "Ed-Edge? Come in," I told him with a bit of surprise on my voice as I walked over to my bed while he walked in the room. It was a bit startling, wonder what he wants. I went to lay in my bed and he sat down on the other.

"Natalya was acting off, I was wondering if you were alright," Edge kind of asked me with a little bit of worry in his voice. It was sweet of him to worry about me but why?

"Thanks for checking up on me but I think I'll be missing your match tonight," his head shot up at that moment. "I feel horrible and I can barely get out of bed," he closed his eyes.

"As long as you're alright, I'll be fine," he trailed off. "Perfectly fine," he fait let sais barely audible but just enough so that I could hear it. what did he mean by that?

Right on time the door opened. Nat, she looked joyful until She looked over at Edge. "What the hell?!" Her face instantly shanked putting the ginger ale on the table and walked over to us.
"I told you everything was fine!" Edge stood up to come to face with her, clearly not happy at all. "Clearly not! Look at her!" The yelling was giving me a headache. I slowly sunk in the bed. Nat and Edge looked over at me, seeing that my headache was getting worse, that made them both stop."sorry, Lex," Nat said while paying a hand on my shoulder. "Get well. I'll love to have you back out there," Edge told me before getting out. Nat looked at the door and sighed.
She was going to have a long night.
