Chapter 23
Daniel POV
Just as Sasha and I were about to arrive. I see two figures and recognize it's Edge and Kaitlyn.
"It's Edge and Kaitlyn!" I yelled catching their attention and Kaitlyn flys towards me. "Hey Daniel, Sasha." Kaitlyn said. "How's Bayley?" Sasha worriedly asks. "She's fine." Kaitlyn assures her and I notice the bag of senzu beans in Kaitlyn hand and look back at Edge and realize why she has the bag.
"Kaitlyn take Sasha to the house. I need to have a conversation with you're father." I tell Kaitlyn, "Can't you talk to him later?" Kaitlyn asked. "I'm not asking you, Kaitlyn. That's a order." I said not taking my eyes off of Edge.
Kaitlyn huffs, "Fine, cmon Sasha lets go." Kaitlyn said. "Uhh right." Sasha said and the two fly towards the Guerrero home leaving Edge and I alone. "Did beating AJ not satisfy you enough that you're now going to fight you're own daughter." I asked disgusted by Edge recent behavior. Edge remains silent as he continues scowl at me. "You're not going to talk or do you want to fight instead? Because that's all you seem want to do today and that's fight. It's one thing to spar but it's whole another level when you're fighting with little kids." I tell him.
"You act like they can't handle it. Bayley handled it and she was four years old." Edge shot back, "Those we're different circumstances. Bayley had no choice unlike AJ and Kaitlyn they don't need to fight in death battles." I angrily reply back. "Why are you acting like this? At first I thought it was because you're match with Bayley ended in DQ. But now I'm thinking that's not it." I stop mid-sentence and notice Edge hands clench. "You never reacted this way when you're matches with Eddie were cut short. You'll ramble that Eddie left because he knew you were going to beat him or fly off to cool off and train but this time you did the complete opposite. I was wondering what could've triggered you to react like this then it hit me you're acting like that because you're afraid-"
"Shut up! I'm not afraid of anything! I'm Edge the greatest, strongest fighter now shut up and let's-"
"Afraid that Bayley will die!" I finish my sentence, "Am I wrong?" I asked and Edge looks away confirming I'm right he looks at me with anger. "I don't care what happens to Bayley!" Edge said but I knew he was lying. "You don't want to admit that you're afraid so you're taking it all out on Sasha, AJ, and Kaitlyn. You care about Bayley, just admit it. You act like you don't care but you do care like everyone else. You known her since she was a child, you fought together, and she saved you're life." I yelled and Edge looked away clenching his hands as his body shook in anger I could feel his power raising.
"Seven years ago you were going to get killed and Bayley covered you from the blast and took the blast. Luckily it only resulted her getting a broken arm and you being unharmed. She put her life at risk to save you. It's normal to be afraid. I'm afraid and so are the rest of us. And I know that you think showing emotions is a sign of weakness but it isn't, Edge. If you want to hide it then fine but don't take it out you're anger on everyone else because you refuse to admit the truth." I fly towards Edge and place my hand on his shoulder. "Bayley is a fighter she's got this." I softly tell him as I pat his shoulder before I fly away.
Sasha POV
"I told you she's sleeping and with how loud you were I wouldn't be surprised if you woke her up." Kaitlyn tells me as she opens the front door and we walk inside the house. I see Vickie and a little blond haired girl at the kitchen table sitting down in a chair as they eats, and two black haired twins and Beth in the kitchen.
"Sasha." Vickie and Beth said waving at me. "Hey Vickie, Beth." I said greeting them both. "Sasha this is Nikki Bella, Brie Bella. And this cutie is Birdie she's Brie and Daniel daughter." Vickie said introducing us as I shake hands with the twins surprised that Daniel has a wife and daughter.
"Nice nice to meet you, Sasha. Vickie has told me quite a bit about you." Brie told me as she let's go of my hand. "Bayley is asleep and AJ is with her." Nikki informs me and I sigh know relief as she sets a plate of food in front of Kaitlyn who thanks her before she eats. "I told her when she screamed outside. I'm surprised Bayley didn't wake up and none of you heard it. Well I'm sure AJ since did since she has good hearing." Kaitlyn said making me blush in embarrassment.
"How do you two know Bayley?" I curiously asked wanting to change the subject. "We know her because Brie and I were friends with her father." Nikki answered, "Nikki and I met her dad when we're fourteen years old and he was eleven years old. Daniel, Batista, Austin, Edge, Beth, Nikki, and I didn't meet Bayley till she was four years old. I remember when we first met her. We were all shocked because none of us knew he had a daughter since the last time we saw him was when he won the tournament." Brie said smiling.
"How was Bayley like when she was a kid?" I asked wondering if she's the same Bayley that's she gotten to know the past weeks. "She was shy, smart, and brave." Beth tells me and I smile.
"Even back then she was the same Bayley that I know."
My smile disappears when I remember Bayley turning into The Golden Fighter.
"Sasha why are you-"
"I knew Bayley was the Great Saiyawoman. Why did she lie to me about not being The Golden Fighter? And how can Bayley, AJ, Kaitlyn, and Edge change their appearance?" Did she not trust me that she had to keep this a secret?" I asked hurt that Bayley would keep this a secret from me. "None of us have the answers to why Bayley didn't tell you only Bayley can answer it. Just like we think it's best that Bayley answers the second question." Vickie calmly answered upsetting me that I'll have to wait.
"MOM!"
I hear AJ yell as loud agony screams are heard Vickie quickly gets up and rushes were AJ is at.
"Is that Bayley?" I asked despite knowing the answer. "Vickie will give her the med-"
I run we're Vickie went not bothering to hear what Beth says, and see Vickie trying to give Bayley the medicine but can't as Bayley tosses and turns and clenching her chest.
"AJ try to hold down you're sister." Vickie said. "I'm trying but she's strong." AJ grunts and transforms into The Golden Fighter at first it seemed to work but it wasn't enough. Before I could help AJ I'm pushed aside and see it's Edge who pushed me. My eyes widen in complete shocked seeing Edge help AJ hold down Bayley giving Vickie the opportunity to give Bayley the medicine and her screaming to finally stop.
Edge let's go and walks away.
"Thank you." AJ and Vickie said in unison stopping Edge and I could've sworn I saw a small smile on his face before it's replaced with his usual frown and leaves the room. "AJ go eat I'll stay here with Bayley." Vickie tells AJ who frowns. "I'm fine you should go and take a nap, mom. You look exhausted." AJ tells her mom and continues before she can protest. "Nikki, Brie, and Daniel can help me, so can Sasha. Right Sasha?" AJ asks facing me.
"Yeah I'm here to help." I said Vickie sighs and eventually gives in. "Fine but first I want you to eat lunch." Vickie sternly tells AJ who opens her mouth to protest but closes her mouth when Vickie glares at her. "Fine." AJ replied.
"Sasha can you please watch Bayley for now. I would ask Beth, Nikki, or Brie but they are cooking dinner. And Daniel still isn't here." Vickie asks. "Yeah no problem." I replied turning my attention to Bayley.
"Thank you. The medicine is in the nightstand. C'mon AJ let's get you something to eat while dinner gets cooked." Vickie tells AJ. "Fine. Mom can Sasha stay over for dinner, please." AJ asks surprising me that AJ wants me to be here for dinner. "That decision is up to Sasha but you are welcome to stay for dinner." Vickie tells me, "Thanks for the invitation but I don't want to worry my dad." I explain and feel guilty when I see AJ frown upset.
"But next time I'll stay over for dinner." I added making AJ smile. "Yay! It was nice seeing you again, Sasha." AJ said before she and Vickie leave the room and close the door.
I take a deep breath and walk towards Bayley and sit in the chair that's beside Bayley bed. I closed my eyes and put my hand on hers. It pained me to see Bayley like this. Someone who is not just my best friend but also my crush. Bayley had lied to me that she was The Golden Fighter and is hiding more, but still that didn't change my feelings towards Bayley.
"I never would've thought that I would fall for you. Please get better Bayley." I whisper fighting back the tears that threaten to fall down my eyes.
