Wrestling With Love

Chapter Nineteen ;; Nice Girls Finish Last

*Bexley's point of view*

Sammy hugged me on the stage for a few more seconds before letting go of me. He looked at me with sadness in his eyes as I grabbed the back of my head where I still felt the stinging pain of Cash pulling my hair.

"What?" I wondered as his sad eyes looked right through me. He studied me for a moment before looking down and turning away from me. He then started heading towards the entrance tunnel, exiting the stage.

"Sammy!" I yelled as I stuck my arm out, attempting to grab him and stop him. My fingertips braced the back of his right arm as he continued to walk away from me. I begin to follow him, eventually speeding up my pace, trying to catch up to him.

"Sammy!" I said once more, this time a bit louder as we arrived to the backstage area. The sound of my voice raising as I spoke his name caused him to finally stop walking and allowed me to get to him. I touched his arm, turning him towards me and asked, "Are you mad at me?"

He looked me in the eyes as he rubbed his hands through his hair then down his face.

"Come on, talk to me." I begged as my voice begin to crack, fighting back my urge to cry.

He closed his eyes as my pleads for him to speak got to him. "I'm really trying to find the words I wanna say, Bexley" he admitted while he opened his eyes back up.

"What.. why?" I questioned him as my voice grew whiney. His response just left me with so many emotions and questions. I just really didn't know what or how to feel.

"You didn't tell me about you and Cody." He spoke, with very obvious betrayal in his voice.

"I didn't even know there was a me and Cody!" I snapped back.

"You didn't know?!" He argued.

"No, Sammy, I-"

"He's been all over you for a month!"

Tears starting filling my eyes as his voice grew louder at me. "I just thought he was being nice."

Sammy paced side to side as he took in my words. He put his hands on the sides of his head as he threw his head back in frustration and yelled, "Guys who are just being nice to you, don't kiss you!"

The loudness of his final words caused me to back away from him. He's never really gotten mad at me before. I looked down as I felt the tears I could no longer fight start tickling my cheeks. Sammy, who must have realized he was letting his emotions get the better of him and maybe Bexley wasn't so guilty after all, started to walk back up to me, but just as he was about to reach me were were interrupted by my dad and the rest on The Inner Circle finally reaching us. Thankfully it seemed like they hadn't heard anything.

I quickly brushed the tears off my face and turned around to face them. The first thing I could think to do was hug Santana and Ortiz. I ran to them, hugging Ortiz first and then Santana.

"I'm so sorry guys," I apologized to them for the mess I brought them into.

Before they could say anything, my dad starting interrogating me, "Bexley, what is going on with you?"

I turned towards my dad, throwing my hands up in an "I don't know" kind of way.

"I was just told you were kissing Sammy last week and now Cody, who's married?" My dad continued to interrogate as I starting walking away from the conversation.

He followed after me along with the rest of The Inner Circle. "Don't walk away from me, Bexley." My dad ordered.

"I'm not walking away, I'm walking to our locker room. I'm not having this conversation in the hallway, your voice is loud and people are staring." I explained as I continued heading towards the locker room, walking as fast as I could.

"I don't think that's why people are staring, Bexley," my dad remarked.

His truthful words frustrated me as I held back the words I wanted to scream. I was almost to the locker room and I really didn't want any of the other wrestlers to know more of my business.

Soon enough we all reached the destination, entering the locker room one by one until we were all inside. Once the door closed, my dad wasted no time in continuing our conversation and said "I need answers, Bexley."

Just as I was about to speak, Sammy decided to answer for me, "I kissed her, it was just one time and it hasn't happened again. And this stuff with Cody, as far as I see it he was clearly unhappy in his marriage, so he decided Bexley would be the perfect person to bring some happiness back into his life."

"Yeah, or something of his happy." Ortiz remarked, with disgust in his voice.

My dad let out a very angry "ughhhhh!" As he grabbed his bat off the couch and started hitting the couch with it repeatedly.

The whole Inner Circle immediately tried to calm my dad down. "He'll get his, Pa don't worry," Santana claimed as patted my dad on the back.

"Yeah, he'll definitely be paying for this." Sammy hissed.

As I listened to them speak about getting revenge, I felt the hurt Cody had caused me. I really thought he liked me and maybe he did, but not enough, I guess. I sighed at my thoughts and spoke, "Whatever you guys have in mind for him, I'm onboard."
