Relief

Chapter Twenty Two

KATELYN'S POV

It was the night before Wrestlemania 35, we were in Brooklyn for the Hall of Fame ceremony, and I was excited to see everybody. Drew and I had thought it be best if I stay at home for a while, Hunter and Vince were brilliant and let me work from home, emailing the production team everything they needed for Drew's rivalry with Roman Reigns. Speaking of Joe, he had kept his promise and stayed away. We had heard through people at work that him and Galina were back together and that they were meant to be trying for another baby. Call me skeptical but you don't have a baby to fix a relationship. As for Drew and I, we were having a few problems, but he didn't seem to want to sort things. Onscreen and in public, we were the perfect couple, yet behind closed doors, it was a different story.

'Wow, you look amazing princess,' Drew said as I emerged from the bathroom. I had treated myself to a gorgeous floor-length purple dress, corsetted at the back, and a silver clutch purse. Teamed with a pair of silver ballet pumps, I felt like a million bucks. I'd gone for simple make up, smokey eyes and a lipstick to match my dress, all finished off with a Harry Potter charm bracelet that Drew brought me when we went to Wizarding World Orlando a few weeks ago.
'You don't look so bad yourself,' I giggled, taking in the sight of Drew in a 3 piece suit with a green and blue tartan tie and pocket square. After a final look in the mirror, and a quick selfie, Drew and I left the hotel room and headed for the lobby, where we were meeting Austin, Adam and Dolph, who were all going stag.
'Damn girl,' Austin called out when we arrived in the lobby. 'You are looking hot.' I smiled and thanked him, until I saw who was draped on his arm. Britt the bitch. It was weird. I thought they broke up.
'Dude, you are totally punching above your weight,' Dolph joked.
'Screw you, Dolph,' Drew laughed, punching him playfully on the arm. 'Where's Adam?'
'Right here,' came the 7footer's voice from behind us. I turned and grinned at him, surprised to see Alexa on his arm. I gave the diminutive woman a quick hug and complimented her on her dress.
'Who's going in which car?' I asked as the group walked to the entrance, where a fleet of black town cars were waiting to take us all to the Barclays Centre, where the event was being held.
'I'll go with Adam and Bliss, if you wanna go with Drew and Kate,' Dolph offered.
'Sounds good to me. See you there.'

When we got to the arena, barricades lined the sidewalk, screaming fans behind them, and paparazzi were mingled in with the crowd leading up to the entrance. I climbed out of the car, taking Drew's outstretched arm, and we walked up the red carpet, posing for photos and signing a few autographs. We were ushered into the venue by a security guard, where we came face to face with Joe. And Galina.
'Oh, Katelyn, I'm so sorry to hear about your accident, but I guess karma is a bitch and next time you'll think twice before stealing another woman's husband,' Galina sneered before dragging Joe into the arena. I looked up at Drew, panicking, who hugged me close.
'Drew, Katelyn, can we get a few words?' Charley Caruso asked us, ruining our intimate moment. I quickly plastered a smile on my face and turned to face her. 'Are y'all excited about tonight and how do you feel knowing that you're only 24 hours away from the biggest fight of your life?'
'Charley, it's great to be here,' Drew answered. 'To think that it's 2 years since I came home and it was announced that Katelyn had signed with WWE is crazy. So much has happened in those 2 years and tomorrow night, it all comes to an end. I finally get my hands on the man who attacked my wife and it won't be pretty. That's why I'm challenging Roman Reigns to a no disqualification, no holds barred, anything goes, match. Bring tables, chairs, hell, bring the entire Samoan family for all I care. But I know one thing, the cancer didn't beat your ass Joe, but I bloody will.' Drew grabbed my hand and we walked away, into the arena. I saw Hunter walking over to us, a huge grin on his face.
'Drew, that promo was epic. The Twitterverse is blowing up about this match,' Hunter gushed. 'Kate, we have a surprise for you later on, so just stick around.' With that, the COO of WWE left us alone.
