CHAPTER 49

I stopped and 'caught my breath round the side of the building, I was nervous now...what if Stephanie thought I did it?

I thought back to the meeting I had just had, and even though I was filled with rage, part of me knew that what Stephanie was saying was right. I remember trying to mentally prepare myself for the coming weeks, as I already knew things were going to be tough, so I thought it wise that if didn't start anything that was bigger than me right now. I guess I would need to find another way to get back at Summer, and I would, because she was not going to get away with hurting Paige the way she did! But the shock of seeing Summer just now all beat up and bloody like that, stopped me dead in my tracks. That was the second of two horrific images in the last 24 hours that would never leave my memory again. There was no doubt in mind that Summers face was a direct result of what she had done to Paige, and not that I didn't think she deserved it or anything, but the severity of it did make me wonder...who?

I had one thought, but I quickly dismissed it, because he had been in that same position we had left him in last night...by Paige's bed, holding her hand. But, I also remember Dean saying that if he ever did find out Summer did it, he would (and I quote) 'bury her'.

No... Dean wouldn't do anything like that, I thought, immediately shaking it off, and quickly jumping in my car back to the hospital.

******

As I pulled in, I thought it best not to mention anything about Summers face to the guys, or Paige. Besides, Roman and I had to say our goodbyes and leave soon, as we were catching an evening flight to the next scheduled state of Nevada, and I didn't want to kick start anymore drama to leave on a bad note with. Paige deserved to rest and relax in peace, and of course so did Dean.

When I got back, Seth was there, and Paige was asleep. So I said my goodbyes to Dean, and wished him and Paige the best of luck ''Make sure you give my love to her as soon as she wakes ok'' I told him.

''I will doll, and hey, I'm so sorry again for the way I acted yesterday, I didn't mean anything by it, I was just upset and emotional'' he said ''Hunter got it worse than you though when I met up with him for our meeting this morning, I thought he was going to fire me right there and then! But we ended up having a real good 'MAN' good chat and he's going to work in my IC title re-match with Luke into the storyline over the next coming weeks, so all is not lost. Oh Faith, you have been such an awesome friend to Paige and me, and I know she loves you girl, as do I'' Dean said, stooping down to hug me.

''Oh you big teddy bear! Come here you'' I grinned hugging him back ''I told you I'm not offended, I get it, and I love you guys, I really I do. I just wish we didn't have to leave you both so soon! But we'll be back don't worry, we're gonna come and visit you the first chance we get!'' I said rubbing his arm comfortingly.

''That's right brother, and in the meantime we will keep in touch'' Roman said holding up his cell ''I love you man, you take care of my little sis ok'' he said, hugging Dean tightly.

''And give all my love to Paige too when she's awake okay, you can tell her I'm gonna buy her something real nice from each state we visit, until she's back'' Seth said giving Dean a big bro hug.

''You guys really are the best, I know that Paige appreciates all the support your giving her, and I really appreciate it too. So I guess I'll see you guys in two weeks then'' Dean smiled, and held his fist out one last time as we all fist bumped him, and quietly made our way out of the hospital.

So he had been at the arena this morning....

******

The week had gone by pretty quickly, and by the time Monday Night Raw had arrived, social media had blown up! I sat in the locker room and checked my phone again. It was no secret anymore about Summers beaten up face, which had been repeatedly snapped, uploaded, reweeted and shared by millions of fans across every social medial platform then you could think of! Much to Stephanie's dismay, rumors and gossip had started circling fast, sparking up a media war as to 'who dunnit? Needless to say I was at the top of that list, along with the rest of The Shield, as people knew we all hung out together, and that we all cared very much for our girl Paige. Some even thought Summer had done it to herself, just to get sympathy from the WWE universe after what she had done to Paige. I thought back to when the guys first found out, I was sitting on Romans lap on the plane at the time when he showed me and Seth a picture of Summers face on Twitter. Roman was actually shocked! But not too upset considering. Seth however seemed strangely quiet. I hoped he was ok, I got the feeling sometimes that he still didn't know how to behave comfortably round me and Roman, so we tried to not put on so much pda in his presence so he would feel better.

I tried to ask Stephanie earlier in the week if she knew what had happened to Summer, but she was just real evasive with me...I mean she couldn't think it was me right?

******

I pulled on my in ring boots and peeked at my phone again, noticing that our triple threat match was trending number one worldwide on social media. I stood and walked over to the mirror...time to bring your A game girl! I smiled myself, I made my way from the locker down toward the gorilla position. I could see that Eva and Summer were already there...Stephanie was there too.

''Faith'' she said ushering me over ''A last minute word to you three girls before you go out there tonight. As you probably already know, social media is going crazy for this matchup, and I have already spoken to each of you individually earlier this week as to what's expected of you, but I'm here to reiterate to you all again to....STICK TO THE SCRIPT! This is a triple threat match, with triple threat rules -which means no disqualification, so I DO NOT want any of you thinking that you can use that as an excuse to exact whatever lingering vendettas you have towards one another, thinking it will go unnoticed. This is PROFESSIONAL wrestling ladies, and I WILL be keeping an eye on each and every one of you during that match'' she said, then took a step closer to us ''...,so don't think that just because you're a WWE Diva, that you're not expendable. In memory of Paige, I want to remind you all that this is actually my house, and it's my ring ladies'' she said, staring us all down for about five seconds before her phone started ringing ''I have to take this, but I mean it ladies...stick to the script!'' and with that she hurried off down the hall ''hi sweetheart...'' I could hear her saying before she disappeared from view, which was interesting because Triple H was at the announce table right now, working in the commentary regarding absence of Dean, while Luke a had a non-title match with some jobber from NXT.

Eh, whatever...I shrugged to myself.

I match was up next, and Eva was out first. I listened with a sour expression as her stupid keyboard demo music began to play. I winced heavily when she when trod down on my toe while walking past me with a calm smile, which would turn out to be one of many little ''mishaps'' in tonight's triple threat match...it's ok Eva, I do my fighting in the ring!

******

It was already 20 minutes into the match and I was nowhere near close to getting tired! The anger I was fuelled up on was making me go at ten speed!

The start of the match was tough, because of course Summer and Eva both formed an alliance together, and ganged up on me. I was so relived I had taken those painkillers before the match started, the one's that Stephanie had medical prescribe for me, because Eva was wasting no time in making history repeat itself, when she brought the steel chairs out early! She thwarted me about 4 times in row straight onto my already sore back. The next time she tried it, I manage to move out of her way and quickly side Russian leg sweep Summer, so that she fell face first just in time to receive Eva's 5th chair slam! Summer screamed so loudly that I thought was going to go deaf or something.

Round one bitches! I smiled, as my adrenaline began pumping hard!

I came into my own now, roughly grabbing Eva in a headlock and spike DDT'ing her straight into the steel chair that she had just used on me. Things were starting to go in my favor now, and I was moving like Flash Gordon round the ring, beating up both my competitors without hardly breaking a sweat. While Big Red was out cold, I turned my attention back to Summer Rae, experiencing a little de ja vu as I ran at her full speed with my fist clenched, and watched again as she hid her face from me ''its legal this time Summer'' I whispered, thumping into her stomach with my fist, before dragging her by her hair for a running bulldog. She lay there face down in the middle of the ring, while I kicked her with my boot, so she would roll over and face me. Then like I remembered when training with Jimmy, I did about 2 and a half rope runs over her, before jumping up and coming down hard on her head with a familiar leg drop.

''This is Paige's house!!!'' I yelled out to the WWE Universe, who all cheered loudly at my heart-felt homage to Paige...I hope you liked that one babe I smiled to myself, knowing Paige would definitely be watching the show from her Iphone. I then leaned down in Summers face, and delivered my own catchphrase ''Just have a little Faith...'' I smiled, picking her up and setting her up for the 'Leap of Faith' but Eva had gotten to her feet and clotheslined me over the top ropes. I quickly dived back in under the ropes and shoved Eva out onto the matt, then arm dragged her straight into the steel steps with a loid crash!

The crowd had now started chanting ''THIS IS AESOME!'' clap clap clap clap clap...

''My own move! Really?!!!'' Summer screamed suddenly coming up behind me. I turned to face her, and she slapped me hard with the back of her hand!

The audience all went ''ooooohhhhh!''

I held my face, as it really stung now, and I turned slowly to look at her, just as a camera man came right up close to capture the both of us...

''What's the matter Summer, you upset because I can actually do the move?'' I asked dryly.

''Awww...is that what you think?'' she grinned.

''I think the WWE Universe would agree with me that you can't wrestle....#you can't wrestle...you can't....?# I paused and smiled as the entire arena began chanting along with me #You can't wrestle#

Summer started yelling at everyone to shut the hell up, but that of course made them chant even louder...I bet Paige and Dean are I just loving this!

She slapped my face again, this time letting her long fingernails scratch me down the side of my cheek...that's when I went off script!

I sent Summer flying with a deadly missile drop kick, which landed her over the barrier and in the front row of the crowd! I then stormed over to the announce table, and ripped out all the electrical monitors and cables, shoving all their paperwork and shit to one side, with the plan of doing mass damage to Summers body! I couldn't hear anything now, because the whole arena erupted in whoops and hollers. Seeing red with rage, I stormed back of over and dragged Summer by her hair back over the barrier with me, where I pulled her over and up onto the announce table, perfectly executing about 5 of Summer Rae's signature moves in a row! The 'Summer Crush' the 'Guillotine choke' the 'Body scissors' the 'Spinning Heel Kick' and finally the 'Cobra clutch'

''That's how it done you amateur!'' I screamed, before executing a brutal face slap of my own, which sent Summer crashing down into the matt!

The crowd now began cheering ''She's got the whole world, in her hands...''

I looked around and smiled, then jumped down, nd began dragging Summer back to the ring so I could pin her for the three count. Not wanting to be outdone, Summer quickly grabbed at my waist with her long legs, and tried to maneuver herself so she could execute my own move 'The leap of Faith' on me, but alas her leg buckled, and she ended up botching the move just like the fuck up that she is. I crawled free, and began laughing at her so hard that I didn't notice Eva who was back up on her feet now, and not alone, pulling out a metal chair from under the ring, which was all it took to take me down. She then pulled me up onto on the ring, and held my leg up for the one, two, three count...just as scripted.

Oh well I thought looking up at the Wrestlemania sign...it was fun while it lasted. I know Stephanie was gonna punish me for my little announce table stunt, which was absolutely not in the scrip, but it was my version, and I was going to do it regardless in honor of Paige.

''#Style and grace....#'' ...oh here, here it comes I thought, slowly sitting up and looking over at Stephanie coming down the ramp, while clutching my poor back at the same time.

''Congratulations Eva'' Stephanie said making her way up the steel steps and into the ring ''you have earned yourself a place at this year's WRESTLEMANIA where you will battle 2 time Divas champion Nikki Bella'' she smiled respectfully at her. Eva now walked round the ring like she was some kind of Goddess!

Please! I thought rolling my eyes at her.

''As for you two ladies...'' Stephanie said turning and giving us both the look of death, also not part of the script that's for sure ''...neither one of you qualified to compete on the grandest stage of them all. All your petty little squabbling will get you, is a one way ticket back to NXT!'' she barked loudly at us.

I got chills up and down my arm, as this wasn't quite what I remember on the script. I hoped she wasn't serious though, as it would kill me to not travel with Paige, or The Shield. Besides, I had never even been in NXT! I looked over at Summer again, and she looked just as worried as I did. Maybe our hatred for each other had lead us one step too far...but Stephanie only had herself to blame for this.

Suddenly a theme song started playing that I'd never heard while I was standing in the ring...I knew exactly who it was though...
