Jaelyn

As we're getting ready, Lauren asked me if there's anyone from NXT that I like. "Try to guess?" I said.

"Okay. Is it Trevor Lee aka Cameron Grimes?" she asked. "Ew no," I said, gagging. "Um.. Eli Drake aka LA Knight?" she asked.

"I wish but no. Try again," I said. Lauren starts thinking, looking up. She snaps her finger, pointing.

"Oh Fabian Aichner?" she asked.. "No, but you're close," I said. "I hope it's not Walter," she said.

"No, he's dating Jinny from NXT UK. You're almost there though. He's in the faction with Walter," I said, smiling. "Ugh, it better not be Alexander Wolfe," she said.

"Ew, no. He's way worse than Walter," I said. Lauren looked at me, shaking her head. "Oh no, it's not Marcel Barthel, isn't it?" Lauren asked.

Cassidy looked at me, tilting her head. I looked at Lauren, trying not to blush. I started smiling from ear to ear.

"Yes, it's Marcel," I said, smiling. "Why would you like someone that called you a whore on NXTtv?" Lauren asked.

"It was part of the storyline. Marcel was upset that I took Fergal back after we hooked up. I was in rebound mode and Marcel was looking for a casual hook up at the time. We apologized to each other and forgive each other as well," I said.

"Well that's good. So how did you two become friends?" Lauren asked. I told Lauren how Fergal and I are separated and divorcing and telling her how Marcel and I became friends again.

Lauren looked at me, sighing. "Wow, I had no idea that Fergal lied to you about Veronica. I'm glad you finally divorcing him and moved on," Lauren said.

I nodded. "Me too," I said. "So are you and Marcel gonna date or?" Lauren asked. "We're just friends. My heart isn't fully healed from Fergal breaking mine," I said.

"Okay. That's a good idea," Lauren said. "One thing Marcel tells Jaelyn all the time is that she deserves better than Fergal and calls her beautiful in German," Cassidy said.

"Well, he's not wrong there. What's beautiful in German?" Lauren asked. "Schön," I said, smiling.

"Oh, interesting," Lauren said. Cassidy and I nodded. "Okay. We better finish getting ready for my party," I said.

Cassidy and Lauren nodded. We continued to get ready.

Later

We finished getting ready and dressed for mine and Cassidy's birthday party. We're wearing leather outfits to match and put on Birthday Queen sashes and tiaras.

The party bus just arrived outside my house. We stepped outside, seeing it. "A party bus?" I asked, smiling.

"You two deserve to enjoy your early birthday," Lauren said, smiling. We walked over to the bus. I got on first.

"Surprise!" I hear all the girls that I invited. I smiled as I saw all of the girls that I went to high school with, Cassidy's friends and a few friends from NXT are here.

I went to hug them all. "Thank you for coming to our birthday celebration," I said. "I hope we all have a great night together," Cassidy said.

We all sat down. The driver starts driving. Cassidy grabs the champagne bottle, opening it as it pops off.

We all cheered as it popped open. Cassidy starts filling up the glasses, passing them around. I held my glass.

"Okay. Cheers to Jaelyn and Cassidy on their birthday," Lauren said, raising her glasses. "To Jaelyn and Cassidy," the girls said, raising the glasses.

Cassidy and I rose ours, taking a drink. "Yummy," I said. "Mmm, good bubbly," Lauren said. "You sound like Jericho," I said.

"You heard that?" Lauren asked. "Of course," I said, smiling.

Few Minutes Later

We are having fun on the bus, taking pictures. "Okay, we're here," Cassidy said. We all got up from our seats, getting off the bus.

We went inside Room 22. It's not too packed. We all stood together in a line. Cassidy and I stood in the middle as a random person took our picture on our phones.

"Thank you so much," I said. We all sat down at a table together. I hear music being played. I see a sign that says Happy Birthday Jaelyn and Cassidy.

We started getting a round of shots together. Cassidy and I got five shots each, we took all five of our shots.

I took my shots. We hissed softly. "Ladies and gentlemen, we have two birthday girls in the house. Please wish Jaelyn and Cassidy a happy birthday," the DJ said.

My friends cheered. We started waving them. I start seeing sparklers, champagne bottles and our birthday cake as they all sing happy birthday to us.

They sat the cake down as the 28 candles. "Make a wish, Jaelyn and Cassidy," Lauren said. I closed my eye, started making my wish.

Cassidy did the same too. "One...two...three!" Cassidy and I counted, blowing out our candles. Everyone cheered. The cake started being cut up, and we started eating my cake.

An Hour Later

We're still at Room 22 for my birthday party. Drew arrived to celebrate with Cassidy. We are dancing, drinking and having a good time.

I stepped outside to get some air. I decided to give Fergal a call on FaceTime to check on the twins.

Fergal answered. "Hey, Jaelyn," he said. "Hey, Fergal. How are the twins?" I asked. Fergal takes his phone to them.

"Say hi to mummy," Fergal said. "Hi, Mommy!" the twins said. I smiled softly. "Hi, my babies. Having fun with Daddy?" I asked.

"Yes, we're going to bed," Irelynd said. "Love you, Mommy," FJ said. "Love you guys. Good night!" I said, waving at them.

"Having a good birthday party?" Fergal asked. "Yes, I am. Thanks for asking," I said. "Okay. I just want to make sure you're having a good time. Happy early birthday, Jaelyn," he said.

I nodded, smiling. "Thanks, Fergal. I'll get the twins after NXT," I said. "Okay. Talk to you later," he said.

"Okay. Bye, Fergal," I said, ending the FaceTime call. I hear Lauren. "Hey, what are you doing out here?" she asked.

"I just wanted to check on the twins," I said. "Okay, that's good," Lauren said. "Yeah, plus, I need some air after drinking so much," I said.

"It's all good," she said. I nodded. "How's Rosalie?" I asked. "Good. She's almost taller than me. I guess she got Nick's height," she said.

"Bridgette's tall for an eleven year old too," I said. "Is she taller than you?" Lauren asked. "No, she's almost close to my height," I said.

"Our girls want to go to cheer camp this summer," Lauren said. "I know. I have to talk to Bryson about Bridgette going to cheer camp," I said.

"Good thing I won't talk to Nick anymore," she said. "Oh that's good," I said. "Nick still sees Rose with his mom supervising his visits," she said.

"That's good,"I said. "We should go inside and enjoy yours and Cassidy's birthday party. It's not safe to be out here alone," she said.

"I agree," I said. Lauren and I went back inside from cooling down. I see Marcel and Fabian inside, having a drink.

"Marcel's here with Fabian," I said. "What are they doing here?" Lauren asked. "I don't know. I'll go find out," I said.

We walked up to them. "Marcel," I said. Marcel sees me, walking towards me. "Hey, Jaelyn," Marcel said.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, hugging him. Marcel hugged me. "I saw your Instagram Stories that you and your girlfriends were at Room 22 for yours and Cassidy's birthday. So Fabian and I came to celebrate with you," he said.

"Well, I'm glad you came tonight," I said. "By the way, you look beautiful," he said. "Thank you," I said.

"Well, I'm gonna leave you two alone," Lauren said, walking away. "So who was your friend?" Marcel asked.

"Oh that was Lauren. She's been my best friend for over 20 years. She used to wrestle under the name Lauren Rollins. At the other company, she's Lauren Moxley," I said.

"She's Colby Lopez's twin sister. She's married to Jonathan Good," I said. "Never heard of him," he said.

"Heard of Dean Ambrose?" I asked. "Oh yes, I totally forgot about Dean Ambrose. That's why she looked familiar. I haven't seen her on WWE tv for a while," he said.

"She went to the other company with her husband, Jon," I said. "I see," he said. "Would you like to sit down?" I asked.

"Sure," he said. Marcel and I sat down to talk. "Thanks for coming," I said. "You're welcome. Du siehst übrigens wunderschön aus," he said.

I smiled when he spoke to me in German. "Danke," I said, smiling. Marcel smiled. "So how much have you had to drink?" he asked.

"I lost count. I got tired of drinking so I switched to water," I said, holding up a water bottle. "Oh that's good. So are you going home after your party?" he asked.

"Not sure. Maybe stay with Cassidy," I said. "I spoke to Cassidy. She and Drew are gonna head home later, so I told her that I'll take care of you and take you home safely. She also threatened to kick my ass if I hurt you," he said.

"Oh okay. Thanks, Marcel. Actually, Lauren would kick your ass," I said. "Oh I know she would," he said, smiling.

Later That Night

It's late. Marcel and I went back to my house. I unlocked the door, going inside. We're both drunk and laughing.

Marcel shuts the door, locking it. "Thanks for bringing me home," I said. "You're welcome," he said, smiling.

"Is anyone home?" Marcel asked. "Nope. Bridgette's still at her dad's house. FJ and Irelynd are with Fergal on weekends," I said.

"That's good. So that means you have your house all to yourself?" he asked. "Yes. So does Fabian know you're here?" I asked.

"Yes, I told him about it before leaving," he said. "Oh good," I said. Marcel nodded. "He told me to use protection," he said.

I scoffed, shaking my head. "Really?" I asked. "Yeah. He was being a dick. I'm sorry," he said. "It's fine. I better change and go to bed. You can sleep on my couch," I said.

"Sounds good. If you need anything, you know where I am at," he said. "And vice versa if you need anything," I said, grabbing my boots.

Marcel nodded as I turned the lights off and set my alarm system. "Night, Marcel," I said, kissing his cheek.

"Night, Jaelyn," he said, smiling. I got to my room, shutting my bedroom door and turning the lights on.

I opened my closet, throwing my boots down. I sat down on a chair that I have in the closet. I stood up, getting undressed.

I grabbed my new Jae Bella merch shirt and sleep shorts. I grabbed some towels from my bathroom closet, setting them on the toilet seat.

I took out my hair ties. I grabbed a brush, start brushing out my hair. I took off my makeup as well.

30 Minutes Later

I finished my shower, towel dried my hair. I got dressed. I'm sitting on my bed. I checked all of my social media accounts.

I got a lot of birthday wishes from my family, friends and fans all over the world. I look at the time, seeing it's midnight.

"It's officially my birthday," I whispered, smiling. I looked at all of my Instagram stories. I didn't post the ones with Marcel.

I looked at the pictures I took of me and Marcel in a private folder. I smiled softly as we're having fun.

I sat my phone down on the dresser. I laid down in my bed, covering myself. I turned my lamp off and went to bed.
