Best Friends Forever

Chapter 46: Romantic Moments

Vanessa's POV:
The main event of Raw is about to start. I assemble my team John, Zack, Dean, Seth, Roman and I enter the ring. John goes first and I cower in fear. Then out of the blue I get blasted inside the ring. I freak out and fight along with John. I'm not going to make it I think to myself. John tags Dean in. Everything goes black!
Dean's POV:
I get in the ring and i'm worried about Vanessa. She's on the matt motionless. I panic then I softly sing a song.
Oh thinkin' about all our younger years
There was only you and me
We were young and wild and free
Now nothing can take you away from me
We've been down that road before
But that's over now
You keep me comin' back for more
And baby you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven
Oh once in your life you find someone
Who will turn your world around
Bring you up when you're feelin' down
Now nothin' can change what you mean to me
Oh there's lots that I could say
But just hold me now
'Cause our love will light the way
And baby you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven
I've been waitin' for so long
For somethin' to arrive
For love to come along
Now our dreams are comin' true
Through the good times and the bad
I'll be standin' there by you, oh!
And baby you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven, heaven
You're all that I want
You're all that I need
We're in heaven
We're in heaven
We're in heaven
After the song ends, I look at Vanessa and put my hands up in an X to signal some medics. The match ends in a no contest. The WWE Avengers assemble outside the trainers room we pace the floor waiting for the doctor to come out. I feel ready to punch something when Jojo approaches us.
Vanessa's POV:
An hour later, I come out of the trainers room to deliver some bad news. I'm off the road due to a really bad concussion. John, Zack, Dean, Seth and Roman say they'll take time off to help me recover. I give them a thumbs up. After the show ends, we get inside my Big Blue Beauty and we make a stop at the hotel. The guys return with the stuff they brought. As the bus starts, I look at John and i'm bitting my lip. Should I apologize for wreaking the match? I think. I'm about to open my mouth to apologize for the match when I wimp out. Seth embraces me and I start to cry.
Seth tilts my chin up so i'm looking at him. My makeup is smudged and Seth sets me down on the couch. We arrive in Orlando. I looked confused as the bus pulls into the Performance Center. I'm looking around until I see five sleeping superstars on the barracks all in Avengers shirts. I put mine on and sleep doesn't come to me. I call Punk.
Punk's POV:
I feel my phone vibrate and I reach for it. A Cubs selfie is on my screen I answer it with a hi. Vanessa starts to break down. After I tell her to calm down, I ask Vanessa what's wrong. The diva explains her concussion and she's in Orlando. I ask Vanessa if she's alone.
Vanessa's POV:
I tell Punk that i'm not alone. I hear his soft voice soothing me. Punk gives me a pep talk and tells me I rock. I thank him and hang up my phone. John wakes up and looks at me. Then he puts a hand on my shoulder. The WWE Avengers wake up and assemble in the kitchen. We sit at the bar looking at each other. I'm the one who breaks the silence. It feels crummy that i'm off the road. I feel so bad that the superstars have to take care of me.
John's POV:
I stand up and tell Vanessa that the words team and recovery don't have the letter I in them. We make a pact that we're sticking by our friend though thick and thin. I pump my fist up. Zack, Dean, Seth and Roman do the same. We pump our fists in hope and encouragement.
Vanessa's POV:
I pump my fist. The fist pumping ends in fist bumping. I start to get sleepy and the guys carry me to bed. I kiss Dean on the lips and we go to sleep. An hour later, I wake up crying Seth is the first one up and by my side. I tell Seth about a nightmare I had about Dean cheating on me with Renee Young. Seth soothes me. I end up falling asleep in Seth's bunk. I scoot my hands to my heart. Am I crushing on Seth? I ask myself. I shake the thoughts from my head as I think about our team. An hour later, I wake up to find a note from Dean. I read it and i'm relieved that it's a brand new day. I think of a song.
The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
There's no room
No space to rent in this town
You're out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And you're not moving anywhere
You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace
It's a beautiful day
Sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
You're on the road
But you've got no destination
You're in the mud
In the maze of her imagination
You love this town
Even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over
And it's been all over you
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day
Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case
See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colors came out
It was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day
Touch me
Take me to that other place
Reach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case
What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel it somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now
Don't need it now
Was a beautiful day
I start to cry. Somebody walks in and sees me crying.
Tyler's POV:
I look in the barracks and I see Vanessa crying. I sit on the bunk bed and I think of ways to cheer the diva up she's crying on me.
Vanessa's POV:
I look up at Tyler with tears in my eyes. He looks at me and tries everything that can cheer me up. I look at the TV and an old episode of Total Divas is on. It was the first episode. Nikki and John reenacted the kiss from The Notebook and I started to cry. I feel so crummy crying on Tyler's shoulder. He tilts my chin up and we hug. After we break apart, Tyler leaves.
