Jon's POV:

"Ah shit Kyla be careful! Jesus. I promised Joe you wouldn't get hurt and here you are nearly breaking your neck! If you can't land this super hurricanrana off the ladder then you need to scratch it. I'm serious Ky. If you botch the landing one more time you need to pull it and find something else to do."

It was time for the big TLC pay per view and Kyla and I have a ladder match as a mixed tag team. We showed up early to the arena to go over some spots...more specifically Kyla's super hurricanrana. Joe stayed behind at the hotel to do some radio phone interviews promoting the pay per view since he's WWE Champion. He asked me to watch over Kyla and make sure she stays safe, but this super hurricanrana off of the ladder is making me nervous. I don't do any of this high flying crap so Colby came to help out too. We were both standing in the opposite corner of where Kyla was in the ring.  Ever since she came back from her injury 10 months ago this move has been the hardest for her to get back.

Colby: "Kyla you're up too high to land that without getting hurt!"

"I know what I'm doing. Stop babysitting me"

I walked over to her ladder that she was refusing come off of

"Ky...come down here for a minute."

She groaned and climbed down. I pulled her to me and hugged her

"Kyla seriously we've watched you try to land that all morning. It's not going to happen. Pick something else that you know for sure you can land. This move has been a problem for you all year. Obviously your knee is trying to send you a message."

"One more time? Please? I promise to give up after one last time."

I sighed deeply "Fine."

She hugged me and kissed my cheek and went back up the ladder. I went back over by Colby and waited. I knew she wasn't going to land it this time. She hasn't landed it all morning and the more she does it the worse it gets. She went for it again and I could tell just by the way she was in the air that she wasn't going to land it again. I looked over at Colby and he shook his head. We heard a loud thump and saw Kyla next to a table . I looked back trying to figure out how she wound up all the way over there. She really botched this time. She shook her head and was rapidly blinking her eyes.

"Kyla you alright?"

She didn't answer and just sat there blinking over and over. I ran over to where she was and put my hand on her back. She flung her head in my direction like I scared her or something.

"Kyla we're done for now OK. Lets go back to the hotel and relax...Kyla??....are you OK?"

"Yeah I just need to shake these cobwebs."

"Lets get you to see the staff doctor...come on"

"No, no no no I'm fine. Just trying to shake these cobwebs is all. I just need to open my eyes and I'll be fine."

I looked at her and over at Colby and back at her 

"Kyla...your eyes ARE open"

Colby: "I'm going to get the doctor"

"Very funny Jon."

"Ky I'm not joking. You're looking right at me"

"NO, because if my eyes were open it wouldn't be black and dark"

"You can't see?"

"Only because my eyes are closed"

"Kyla...listen to me...your eyes are open and have been open the whole time."

She tried to stand up and fell back down. I caught her and put my arm around her. Something wasn't right and I could tell it was starting to freak her out. Colby finally came back with one of the staff doctors. He knelt down in front of her and tried to joke with her, but you could tell she was scared. I had Colby go call Joe because it's only a matter of time before she started asking for him.

"Hey Miss Kyla I haven't had to see you in a while. Can you tell me what happened?"

She didn't answer. Suddenly she stopped talking at all and it was freaking me out. I promised to keep her safe and now something is seriously wrong with her. Joe is going to blame me for it. I shouldn't have agreed to let her go up one more time. If I had just insisted that she stay down here with me and figure out something else to do.  I sat down on the mat next to her and gently nudged her shoulder

"Kyla...hey...HEY!"

She jumped, shook her head and started rubbing her eyes. Jim turned back to the trainer he brought with him and said something and turned his attention back to Kyla.

"Kyla.  Are you still with me??"

"Yeah" 

I sighed in relief. She must've heard me and turned her head in my direction "Jon?"

I squeezed her shoulder a little "I'm right here"

She reached up and took my hand off of her shoulder and wrapped her arms around my arm and held on tight. She was scared and I was hoping Joe would show up to be with her. 

"Kyla did you hit your head?"

"Yes on a table"

"Did you lose consciousness? Do you know?"

She didn't answer again and I shook her arm a little

"Kyla do you know what day it is?"

"Sunday"

"Good. Can you follow the light?"

She shook her head  "Where's Joe?"

"Colby called him. He's coming."

"Stay with me"

She rested her head on my shoulder and gripped my arm tightly. I kissed her forehead and rested my head on hers. I felt so bad about all of this and I felt like it was all my fault. I didn't protect her like I should have.
