Fighting for The Eradicator

Pain

Cassandra POV
( Huge Time Skip, Demi and Cassandra have been together for over 2 years now. Demi is now on a tag time with Liv, Cas is head director of Creative now. Demi and Cassandra are also engaged now.)

   Things at work have been nothing but busy here as wrestlemania has came and go, people were getting ready for backlas. Edge has been up my ass about getting a new faction started up and how he wants a huge heel turn in the industry. I told him that if he is able to get others to follow him and he proves to me that this faction will be long lasting, I didnt care. He still is an asshole to me and has been a bigger one every since I took full control of everything. Demi and I have been doing great but the past few weeks weve been fighting slightly and been on the rocks with each other. It feels like no matter what I try to do to make her happy with her storyline, she is never happy with it. Her and Liv have been amazing together and the fans love them together. She tells me that shes been wanting a new story line and she wants to hold a title again, not to mention she has been talking with Edge alot more the past few weeks. I know I cant control her and who and what she talks about but ever since hes been in her ear, shes treated me lesser and lesser. I try not to let it get to me as much , but its hard when shes not giving equal effort back to me in the relationship. I stared down at my desk as it was scattered with papers and schedules that I had to look over and create. I placed my hands in my hair as I let out a stressful sigh, looking over to the picture of me and Demi together. It was our engagement session and we thought it would be funny if she dressed in her ring gear and held me over her shoulder like she does with her title. She looked so inlove with there, now I can barely get any type of emotion out of her. I twisted my ring on my finger as I heard a knock at the door, looking up to see no one other than Edge himself. I placed a fake smile on my face as he walked over to my desk. " What can I do for you tonight Edge." Im just trying to keep the peace between us right now as I dont need to have this man see my cracks. He just gave me a sinister smile like he knew something I dont. " I have recruited all of my people for the faction, were gonna call ourselves the Judgement day. Ill annouce my recruits this week and next week at backlash."  I simpled nodded as I just wanted him out of my office, " Okay Ill start scheduling you segments then for it, Is that everything?"  He just nodded as he still smirked at me. I looked up at him again, as I stood from behind my desk feeling uncomfortable with how he was looking at me. " You know, I was right about you and so were the others, Its honestly such a pity really." I looked at him sideways as he spoke to me with such degradation in his voice. " What the hell are you talking about Edge. I have done nothing to you but given you what you want because im tired of this shit." he scoffed as he took a step closer to me, He was about to say something but was interrupted by Demi standing in the door way with her ring gear on. " Whats going on here." she looked over to me as Edge watched Demi with warning eyes. " Nothing, I was just telling your Fiancee about my plans for this week and next." Edge spoke up as I watched him fearfully as he looked at me with that sinister look in his eyes. Demi walked over to me as he stood in the doorway. " I want to talk to you about something before I go out in the ring if thats okay." I looked at her as her face held no emotion in it, I bit my lip as I tried to hold back the tears. " yeah of course." she just stood there with no empathy or excitement, when she used to be all over me, always was excited to see me, wanted to be around me. Now im lucky if I get to see her at all anymore, I know that this isnt fair on me, and that I deserve better, but I love this woman so much Id let her ruin me before Id leave her. She goes to speak but was interrupted by Edge calling her name like she was a dog. She looked at him and just walked out, completely ignoring my calls for her. "Demi, Come back here" I watched as she looked back at me with a face that held guilt and anger, she just turned back around as she shoulder check Charlotte who waved at her. " What the hell Rhea." she looked at Demi with a shocked face as Demi stepped right into her face before she pulled away. I watched as Edge stared at her and smiled wickedly. I walked back into my office as i whipped the tears off my cheeks before Charlotte had the chance to see me cracking. " What the hell is her problem. Hey woah, why are you crying Cas." she rushed over to me as looked at me with worried eyes. I didnt say anything as I ran into her arms, sobbing uncontrollably.
I pulled back as Charlotte whipped my tears from my face. " Talk to me, come on Im your best friend. I know you and you never crack." I just sighed as I walked back over to my desk as I sat on it as Charlotte sat in the chair in front of me. " I dont know what im doing wrong. I try to make her so happy with her career and given her opportunities for titles. She looks at me and talks to me like im nothing to her, and im starting to feel like I do mean nothing to her. She was just in here and wanted to talk to me, But she had no emotion in her face, like nothing. She used to be so excited to see me and be with me, now I cant even get her to say I love you back anymore. She is my life Charlotte and I want to be a partner that she can lean onto if she is going through something. Im not leaving her, I love her to much to do that. For christ sakes, were planning to be married next year, we just put a deposit on our wedding venue. I feel like Im losing her faster than I can fight for her."  I let the tears fall off my face as they created a wet spot on my pants. I looked up at charlotte as she held such sad eyes. " Cas, this isnt okay. I know you love her and that you are to be married but this isnt fair. She cant just treat you like shit because you give her everything she asks for and doesnt win in the end, thats not life works in this industry here. I think you need to really talk to her, maybe it will get through her head." I sat there, fiddling with my ring as charlotte spoke to me, she was right I do need to talk to her. We stayed in my office for a moment longer when I heard running coming down from the hallway. Becky comes barrelling in as she is out of breath, " Cassandra, we need to you come out to the ring right now." I looked over at Charlotte as we both stormed to the ring, as we heard loud screaming and booing. I make my way to the gorilla as I see that Demi and Liv are left on the ring together. I watched as everything unfolded like slow motion, Demi attacked Liv and then throwing her in a riptide. I pushed my way to the curtain as Demi is walking up from the ring, Liv is down for the count in the ring. I walk towards Demi as she gives a nasty and hateful look as she pushes past me to enter the gorilla. I run to the ring as I crawl in to her side, " She just snapped, I dont know what happened. Fuck, Rhea." she just looked at me as I helped her up and out of the ring. What the hell is going on with her that she is acting like this. Charlotte takes Liv from me as I saw Demi waiting for me by the door. I tell charlotte that Im going to go talk to Demi, she nods as she holds an ice pack to Livs shoulder. I walk over to Demi, who started to walk towards my office, I shut the door behind me as she stands in the middle of the room. I walk over to my desk as I sit on top of it staring at her, seeing nothing but hate in her eyes. " Demi." I whispered to her as she turned her eyes to me, staring at me. " I had to do it, I needed a change in my character Cassandra. Im tired of being nice, being held back by thoses who hinder me in my career." I pressed my lips together as it felt like a kick in the stomach that she used my full name this time. " If you want to be a heel, then thats fine, ill support you in this. I just want you happy Demi." she sucked in her teeth as I said that letting out a smile laugh. " What? What is so funny?" she just stared at me as her eyes burned a hole into my soul. " You want me happy, I just think its so funny." My mouth fell wide open as I stared at her with tears falling down my face. She noticed it quickly as her face fell and it was soft as she took a few steps to me. " Im sorry, that was really uncalled for from me, I dont even know why I said it. I wasnt thinking. Im sorry" she tried to wipe the tears from my face, flinching when I felt her hand on my cheek. " Hey, its just me, I would never ever hurt you." she said so softly as it felt like a knife going into my heart as she was already hurting me more than ever. I bit my lip as I looked at the women in front of me, it was like she was back. The Demi I fell in love with so long ago was standing infront of me as she had bright blue eyes, her face was soft and sweet as  she looked at me. " Im sorry I said that, I didnt mean it." she just held my face as I looked up at her. " Its okay Demi." was all I could say to her at this moment, as this was the first time in weeks that she was being soft with me or has even touched me. She pulled her hand away as she reached for mine, pulling me into her arms and holding me tightly against her. I took a deep breath as she was wearing my favorite perfume, it was like she knew as she rested her head on mine. I let out a soft sob as I began to cry into her, she just held me rubbing my back. There was a knock on my door, I pulled away from her as I wiped my face , opening my door to see Edge standing there staring at Demi who stood behind me. " Ahh there you, come, I want to talk to you." He called her like a dog as she walked towards the door, " Wait, Dems" I grabbed her hand as she pulled away once again showing me no emotion. She leaves with edge as he begins to talk to her ,while the walk down the hallway. I decided that i had enough of tonight and just wanted to go back home, I packed all of my stuff up, placing it in my bags as I called for a ride to the airport. I walked to the locker room as I know Demis things would be in there. Walking in a saw her sitting on her phone , when she snapped her head up to me as I walked in. Charlotte popped out from the shower room as she was curious on who walked in but since she realized it was me she walked closer. " Here, Youre going to need this." I gave her the keys to the truck and to the hotel room, as well as my company credit card so she can buy her ticket and whatever else she needs. " What is this for, your not coming back with me." She stood up as she made an approach towards me. I quickly took two steps back as I looked at her scared, as my eyes were watering. She saw that I was scared around her and stopped in her place as she gave me a worried look. " No Demi, I need to go home, I just cant do this right now. I will see you when you come home okay. I love you, remember that." I went to turn around to walk out when I felt her grab my wrist turning me around to where I pressed against her body. "Rhea." I heard charlotte say as I saw her take a step forward to me. I looked down at my feet and not at her, as she let go of my wrist and placing her hand under my chin, making me look at her. Tears were spilling down my face as I finally looked at her, her eyes looked broken as she stare at me. She pulled my chin to her as she crashed her lips onto mine, giving me a desprate kiss. I pulled away as she held my face, " Please dont leave me." she whispered as she stared at me. I shook my head, " Im not Dems, I just want to go home."  She let go of my face as she grabbed my hand instead, holding it in her own as she twisted the ring on my finger. " Then lets go home." I didnt know what to do or say in this moment as she did a complete flip in her actions from earlier and how shes been acting. " Okay." was all I could say as she turned to grab her things. I shot Charlotte a worried look as she gave me one right back, Demi turned back around as she slowly walked to me, grabbing my bag from my shoulder. I was hesitant at first when she went to grab it but let her take it as she threw in over hers and grabbed her bag. " Come on, lets go home." She held her hand out for me to take, I grabbed it slowly as she pulled me towards the door. She held my hand the whole time not letting it go expect for when she had to run around the truck to jump in on her side or when to was grabbing the bags, but she made sure that my hand was in hers. She didnt say anything to me the whole ride or while we flew home. It really mad eme think that by me saying I was going home without her and she traveled scared her. That she thought I was leaving her or abanonding her. The truth is I wasn't doing any of that, I just wanted to go home to where I could breakdown in peace. I wasnt scared of Demi but with how she was acting lately, she would take her anger out on me , which ment she would yell at me or say things like she did today.  This was the first time that she apologized for it, most likey as she finally saw me cry from what she said. When we fight I just let her speak and take her anger out, then she leaves to go to the gym or she'll go out with her friends and not come back for hours. I tried fight back the first time and telling her how I felt about everything but it didnt make a difference but made her more upset. She really has changed and im wondering if Edge has something to do with this. If he is telling her things that arent true because he wants this nasty and brutal side of her. If she would join Edge I dont know what I would do or react, as it would be the biggest fight for our relationship.
     We pulled into our driveway of our new house that we just bought last month together. It was a pretty big house as it had 4 bedrooms 3.5 baths, a fully remolded basement which I had a custom Home gym built for Demi as she talked about wanting one for the past two years. But its a shame because she doesnt use it when she goes to on her rage runs. Theres a huge backyard for the dogs since we have 3 of them now and two of them are hyperactive. She pulled her truck into our garage next to my tahoe , as she placed it in park. She smiled at me as she opened her door to come to mine, which she did and then she grabbed out bags. We were greeted by all three dogs as they barked and whined for our attention. She placed the bags down by the stairs as Barry followed her whining for attention. I took my shoes off as I placed them in the shoe rack we had in the laundry room, as I stood there for a minute as i felt myself beginning to crack already. Zeus nudged my hand as he was trying to get me to pet him, I smiled as I knelt next to him giving him all of my attention. " Youre my good boy huh, always making sure im okay." He begins to lick my face as I fluff up his face. " You know that I havent be okay for awhile , thats why your always by my hip. Smart boy." I stood up as I saw Demi standing in the hallway with her arms crossed. " So you werent going to tell me you werent okay?" she just watched me as I walked out of the room slowly. " I tried Demi." she rolled her eyes as she started getting mad as she turned around walking to the living room. " I tried telling you many of times demi, I sat here , telling you that I wasn't okay, begging for you to listen to me." she stopped in her track as she stormed over to me, anger oozed over her. Now were back to where we were for weeks now. I knew that she was acting like that was too good to be real, the old Demi that I fell in love with was gone. " You have never tried to talk to me, never once have you told me what youve felt or anything." She laughed as she walked away throwing her hands on her hips, pacing back and forth. " You know what." she started really yelling now as she walked over to me. She grabbed my wrist roughly as I winced trying to pull away from her. " I have given you everything, Ive gave you my life and you cant even give me anything in return, nothing." She stared at me with venom in her voice as she stared at me like I was a speck to her, her grip only tightening on my wrist. " Demi youre hurting me please , let go." she pushed her self closer to my face as she held on still. 
" Im not even doing anything to you."  I felt a tear fall from my eyes as I looked away from her. "Please, youre hurting my wrist, please Demi." I still havent looked at her as my voice was cracking as I spoke. " Pathetic" she released her grip as she degraded me as she walked off. I ran upstairs, running into the master bathroom as I shut it softly, sliding down to my knees. I silently sobbed as my heart was breaking, shes never once acted like this towards me. Never been violent , never insulted me, I just let myself sob as I let myself finally crack under pressure. Demi hasnt came into the room or I havent heard her stomping around, so she probably did her usual thing and leave. I look down at my wrist as they are bright red , as bruises already form. I heard a scratch at the door, hearing the dogs whining on the other side. I stood myself up , opening the door to see all three dogs waiting for me, wagging their tails. I walk over to the bed, realizing that I let my stuff downstairs and my phone. I make my way downstairs as Zeus follows suit, I walk in to the kitchen seeing no sign of her. " Demi?" I yell as I walk over to the garage door,  her truck was still here and so was my tahoe. " Demi?" I yell again walking downstairs to the gym, seeing still no sign of her. I start to panic as she has never done something like this, leaving without a trace. I ran up the stairs," Demi" I yelled once more as I ran upstairs , checking all the rooms and her office. Running back downstairs towards the backyard, "Demi" I yelled once more. I walked around the corner as I find her sitting on the outside on the patio furniture with a bottle of liquor next to her. "What." she answered me coldly as she continued drinking out of the bottle. " I couldnt find you, I just got scared." she scoffed as she slammed the bottle down on the glass table. " I cant even drink without you bothering me." I jumped as she slammed the bottle, taking a step back to create distance from her. "Im sorry I didnt mean too, Im sorry." I just started crying my voice shaking as I watched her stare at me with dark hateful eyes.  I quickly ran back into the house grabbing my phone and bag taking it upstairs as I walk into the guest bedroom so I can fall asleep.  I take a picture of my wrist as they now have very noticeable bruises on them from her, I saw tha charlotte texted me asking me if everything is okay. It was only monday and we have to leave wednesday for backlash as the plane is a 14 hours flight, so we land on friday and then Backlash is on saturday. I sit on the edge of bed burying my head into my hands, I miss my Demi, not this hateful, resentful, ego manical bitch thats downstairs. "This is so fucked up." I whispered to myself as I grab my phone to text charlotte back. I sent her the pictures of my wrist, as I know she is going to kill Demi, and honestly maybe Demi just needs her ass beat to set her back on the straight and narrow. I felt my phone blew up as I knew it was charlotte probably freaking out about everything.  I just threw my phone over to the other side of the bed as Zeus and Barry jumped up on the bed and laid down. I took off my suit , putting on a t shirt and crawling into the bed as Zeus crawled up to me allowing me to hold him. I just buried my face into him as I heard Demi throwing things around downstairs and screaming, as Barry moved closer to me as he stood guard. I gave him a few pats as I told him he was such a good boy, before I laid back down with zeus. I eventually fell asleep, but was woken up as somebody picked me up carrying me in their arms. I was placed in my own bed as I felt someone lay next to me. As they laid closer to me I could smell the alcohol on them, she was drunk. I pushed her away as I didn't want to be in a drunken fight with her as the last one didn't go so well. " No, wait no stay please. Please"  She spoke as her voice cracked like shes been crying, her arm holding me around my waist. " Demi your drunk." she didn't say anything as she let go of her hold on me. I moved to get out of the bed as I heard her softly sobbing. " Please dont leave, please. I need you cas." I stopped dead in my tracks as she was begging for me to stay. I sighed as I turned around, as I grabbed her hands pulling her upland out of the bed. I bring her into the bathroom as I leave her by the vanity, as I go and turn on our shower so I can try and sober her up. I let the water warm up, as I walked back over to her. " Come on." I hold my hand out as she quickly grabs it, as I pull her towards the shower. I start taking her clothes off as I take my own off, walking into the shower with her following behind me. I place her under the warm water as I help her wash her hair, as I can see shes starting to sober up a bit. I  go to walk out but was quickly grabbed around my wasit as Demi pulled me closer to her, crashing her lips onto mine as she shoved her tongue into my mouth. I wrapped my arms around her neck, as she pulled me closer to her.  I pulled her back as I looked at with sad eyes, she raised her hand to touch my face, I flinched as she did so. " I would never." she said to me so softly, as she doesnt remember what has already happened. I just smiled as I pulled away grabbing a towel for us, handing her one. I helped her get dressed as I walked her over to the bed, laying her down. I kissed her forehead as she was falling asleep already. I walked out of the door, heading downstairs to see that the place was absolutely trashed as she tore threw everything. I rubbed my temples as I went to grab her a glass of water and the bottle of advil, and taking it back up to her. I watched her sleep for a moment , as if it was like she was back to her old self, but I know tomorrow war is going to happen.
