NXT TakeOver: Phoenix- January 26th, 2019.

"You look st-unning, bitch," I listen to my friend, Jeffree Star as he's doing my makeup for this TakeOver- Jeffree flew in to do my makeup looks for this weekend because I'm going to be at TakeOver and I'm making my debut in the Royal Rumble in the women's match- we've known each other for a few years now and whenever I need makeup, I always turn to him for his best advice. "You're about to destroy this TakeOver with your looks."

He decided to experiment with his new palette that he has coming out, he didn't tell me what the name of it is but he did put some blue metallic eyeshadow on me and followed it up with "Celebrity Skin" on my lips. I had my hair in fishtail braids.

I wore a deep ribbed V-Neck black crop top from Nasty Gal with the "Viper" lace up leggings from Killstar and to compete the outfit- the Calista boots from Killstar too.

I'm accompanying Aleister for his match tonight against Tommaso Ciampa for the NXT title.

Jeffree finishes my makeup with the setting spray and waves it with a hand so my makeup will stay.

As I get out of the makeup chair, that's when I see Aleister walk by. He sees me and smiles.

In a child-like manner, I put my hands out. Aleister chuckles, taking my hands in his own, his fingers intertwining with mine and bringing me to him. With his thumb, he lifts my chin and kisses me softly.

"You're both so cute, I'm gagging," Jeffree says and I break away from Aleister, laughing. Aleister raises a brow.

"Aleister, meet Jeffree Star," I say. "Jeffree and I have known each other for a few years. I flew him out to do my makeup this weekend. And Jeffree, this is my boyfriend- Aleister Black."

"So you're the guy that Lyra's been hooking up with?" Jeffree responds. "Well, you're definitely fuckable- that's for sure."

"Jeffree," I mutter as I blush and Aleister laughs.

"Come on. I know a hot guy when I see one." Jeffree tells me. "Your boyfriend would make Nate run for his money."

Aleister looks at me. "Nate?"

"Jeffree's boyfriend," I tell him. Aleister nods, understanding him a little bit more.

I kiss Aleister once more before I'm called to film a scene for the pre-show between myself and Zelina, Aleister's ex. I was dreading this moment because for the last few weeks, Zelina has targeted me on Twitter to a point where even Jeffree had to step in and get her off my back.

But what's different about this scene is- Jeffree is going to make his special guest appearance on NXT. Jeffree looks nervous but I reassure him to just act like he does on YouTube and be brutally honest but don't take it too far.

Zelina and I start arguing and then right when I'm about to smack the taste out of her mouth, Jeffree shows up. He puts himself between me and Zelina.

"Hi, how are ya?" Jeffree says as he extends a hand for her to shake, he pulls it back. "I'm Jeffree Star and you don't need to bother introducing yourself to me, Little Miss Thing. But I'm here to warn you. When Mama Star is here, you need to stay in your place. Because if you don't stay in your place, I'll make your life a living hell. Understood?"

Zelina glares at both of us and then she stomps off.

"See ya, crazy!" I say and Jeffree snorts before laughing and I laugh too as the cameras fade.

After that segment and about an hour or so, Aleister and I are ready for his match against Tommaso. We head to the curtain, hand in hand until Aleister goes out to his pedestal- I twirl my promise ring on my finger as I wait to go out the curtain. At the beginning guitar riff, I head out to stand on the ramp.

Aleister rises from his pedestal and then he walks over to me, we exchange glances and then we walk together. I follow him as he walks up the steps to the ring and he flips over the rope, sitting Indian style in the ring, he looks around before standing. I stand in the corner, where he actually sees me and he settles near the turnbuckle by me, sitting Indian style.

I hear a flat tone and I jump back at the sound- the noise scaring me as a flashback comes to me of Devon, when he had cut me up with the knives on my ribcage- my blood dripping on the kitchen floor. Ambulance sirens. The tone of the machines as I was taken into the emergency room.

I gasp and I'm brought back to Phoenix where I'm with Aleister before his NXT title match. Ciampa's on the apron.

"Lyra? Breathe, liefde." I hear Aleister's voice as I see him- knelt down in front of me. "Baby. Focus on me, Little Crow."

"Damn it," I whisper. "Why must he still live in my head?"

"He's not here, Little Crow." Aleister murmurs. "It's not real."

I close my eyes- getting myself together as Aleister kisses my forehead. He slips his vest off his shoulders and he drapes it across mine, to comfort me- allowing his scent to help calm me down. I smile at the gesture and kiss his cheek before he goes back inside the ring.

"The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the NXT Championship. Introducing first, the challenger. Accompanied by Athena Steele- from Amsterdam, Holland, weighing in at 215 pounds, Aleister Black!"

Aleister looks around and I hear the audience cheer. He sees me standing in the corner and he becomes more focused knowing that I'm there.

"And his opponent- from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, he is the NXT Champion- Tommaso Ciampa!"

Aleister stands in the corner and he watches Tommaso as he moves back to his corner. The lights turn on as the bell rings for the match to start. Aleister immediately starts to go after Tommaso.

I watch as they are outside of the ring and Tommaso pushes Aleister and they both go back inside, I watch as Tommaso slaps Aleister in the face and Aleister tosses Tommaso down by the waist.

Tommaso tosses Aleister to the ground and goes after his arm. He keeps it going until Aleister tosses him to the ground and keeps him locked to the ground.

"Come on, Shadow," I say- getting my voice together. Tommaso breaks free and tries to get him in the Fairy Tale Ending and Aleister ducks and tosses him back to the ground, keeping his lock on him.

Aleister starts to strike Tommaso until he hits the ropes and slides out of the ring, Aleister runs to jump but does his backflip instead until Tommaso heads back in and Aleister tries to kick him but Tommaso falls on his back, nearly avoiding the kick.

Tommaso continues to stare at him until Aleister sits Indian style across from him, the crowd cheers. I start to applaud as well until Tommaso hits Aleister in the face with his boot, catching him by surprise.

Aleister is tossed into the ropes by Tommaso and then he springs off of them and then he tosses Tommaso out again until Tommaso gets back up and Aleister grabs him off the apron.

Tommaso falls back down and Aleister launches himself onto Tommaso, taking him out. When he landed, he tweaked his leg.

"You okay?" I yell and Aleister looks at me. He nods before bringing Tommaso back inside the ring.

I watch as a few minutes pass by and Tommaso gets out of the ring- done with the match it seems. Until he pulls Aleister out of the ring and Aleister kicks him down. Tommaso looks at me and then smashes Aleister's knee against the steel and then tosses him over the steps.

I race over to Aleister's side to check on him and as I do, Tommaso slowly approaches. I stand up and move in front of my hurt boyfriend, ready to fight.

"Take one more step and there's a Death's Scythe with your name on it, you bloody creep." I hiss through my teeth at Tommaso. Tommaso smirks and then he turns to the crowd, and I hear booing.

Aleister starts to stand and I try to help as much as I can to get him inside the ring. Tommaso starts attacking Aleister's leg and I hear him scream in agony.

I shudder as I hear Aleister's screams when Tommaso continues to aim for that leg of his. And Tommaso is that twisted that he bashed Aleister's knee against the announce table. I watch as he applauds himself and then sits Indian style on the table.

I've had enough. When the referee isn't looking- I hit Tommaso with Death's Scythe, the kick is strong that it knocks him off the announce table.

"Athena Steele using her Death's Scythe to Tommaso Ciampa! The NXT Champion is reeling from the kick!" I hear the announcers say.

"I told you, you bloody creep. You didn't listen!" I growl as I beckon for Aleister to get up.

But as Tommaso is trying to recover from Death's Scythe, he grabs a water bottle to drink and Aleister kicks it out of his hand, water exploding onto the mats outside.

Aleister tries to stand and go back inside the ring until Tommaso hits his leg again, causing him to fall.

As the match goes on, Tommaso tries to hit Aleister with Fairy Tale Ending but Aleister counters and they keep countering each other until Aleister tries to pin him with his suplex but Tommaso kicks out.

Aleister tries to lift Tommaso's head up with his leg until he slips. Tommaso takes advantage and gets him in a Boston Crab. Aleister screams in agony until I jump up onto the apron to distract Tommaso. Tommaso stands and tries to step to me.

"Now, Shadow!" I say and when Tommaso turns around, Aleister hits him with a Black Mass but when he lands to pin him, Tommaso kicks out at 2.

Tommaso throws Aleister back outside and throws him into the steel again. I grit my teeth when Aleister tries to recover and get back up, he slips in the water on the outside. And Tommaso hits him with Fairy Tale Ending and Aleister kicks out at two. I bite down on my black nails- nervous as ever.

"He's not going to beat me, Athena and you know it!" Tommaso snarls at me. He slides out of the ring and he tries to go for the mat- to pull it up but I stand on it. Tommaso pushes me to the ground and pulls the mat up.

I see Aleister start to get even more angry knowing that he touched me and he launches himself, hitting him with both of his knees on the concrete. Aleister gets Tommaso into the ring and hits him with another Black Mass.

Aleister tries to pin him but Tommaso turns over, saving himself from losing.

"You son of a bitch," I mutter. "You bloody wanker."

Tommaso tries to hit him with another Fairy Tale Ending but Aleister kicks out again. My jaw dropped because even I couldn't even believe it.

"Come on, Aleister!" I scream. "Come on, baby."

After two more Fairy Tale Endings- it's over. Tommaso beat Aleister. I growl and I go inside the ring. I don't even care. I start kicking Tommaso with my boot- the spikes on them digging into his flesh.

"You bastard. You're going to pay for this!" I snarl.

Tommaso grabs his title and starts to leave the ring, with a wicked grin on his face. I stay by Aleister's side.

"Aleister," I say. Aleister gets his breath back and he looks at me- as defeated and winded as he looks, he smiles and cups my cheek. I smile and put my hand over his.

"I love you, Little Crow," Aleister says. "You did the best you could for me. Thank you."

"I love you too, Shadow." I murmur.

"Come here," Aleister whispers as he sits up and he kisses me softly. The audience is in complete shock as well as the announcers.

"Did you know that Athena is Aleister's girlfriend?" I hear the announcers saying.

"I didn't even know they were dating."

Surprise. I thought as Aleister and I break apart- I help Aleister go back to the locker room.

"That was a bold move," Jeffree says as he greets us backstage. "Telling the world that you both are together."

"We're happy where we are in our relationship," Aleister says as he kisses my temple. "The world deserves to know."

"Good for you," Jeffree tells him. "If you guys are together, you might as well show it on screen too."

Aleister nods in agreement as we get ready to change and get ready for tomorrow, which is the Royal Rumble.
