Hi everyone, I'm back with a new story! Right, time to get down to business. I really underestimated how busy uni would be this year therefore this story will be updated once a week. Those of you who have read my other story, I know you're disappointed since I'm like a regular updater but this is how its going to be for this story. This is a short story, not too long. Again, for those of you who have read my other story, I'm using the same OC's. So don't get mixed up. I like my characters and I'm using them in any story that I do. So yeah, I think that's about it!

A massive thank you to Dan for keeping me sane. My laptop stopped working over the weekend and let's just say I thought I lost this story. But Dan, you were lovely enough to keep me calm and reassure me. Please check out his stories guys, he's an awesome writer!
CHAPTER 1:
Ariana walks around the venue, determination on her face with a strict mission in mind. She couldn't believe what she heard. She couldn't believe what she heard had happened whilst she was on holiday. She goes off for three weeks and so much crap goes down that she didn't even know about till she got that phone call. But right now, none of that mattered. The only thing that mattered was her hunting her down and giving her a good dressing down.
Ariana had been best friends with Iris for years. They started out as Divas together. Not knowing who to trust, they turned to each other and since then were nearly unbeatable tag team partners. No one had seen such good tag team partners in the Divas division, ever. No other Divas could compete in the stunts they pulled off together, or the synchronization they had between each other in the ring. The fact that they could always read each other's mind was a gift.
Eventually though, they got round the other Divas. They proved themselves to be great in ring workers and this got them accepted as one of the others. They still only fully trusted each other though. Never keeping secrets, never doing anything behind the other's back. It was the only way they could make sure they were successful without anyone trying to split them up even if they tried. Other Divas would do these sorts of things which is why Ariana and Iris were different.
Being Divas, they obviously got attention from guys. Whilst Iris did go on a few dates, Ariana never went out with anyone. None of the guys seemed to be able to challenge her. No one seemed to catch her eye. Sure they were hot, but they were all the same. Iris never had a serious relationship with any of them, apparently waiting for Mister Right. Then one day, they came into the picture. The SHIELD. Three guys who were simply great at what they do. The Powerhouse, The Architect and The Lunatic Fringe.
All the Divas went crazy after them but Ariana and Iris just got on with their lives as usual. Iris would gush over them to Ariana who just would simply roll her eyes and listen to her best friend's incessant babbling. Despite rolling her eyes and just ignoring the SHIELD most of the time, there was one member in particular who caught her eye. He was different to everyone else. He could care less about the Divas or anyone else, the only thing that mattered to him was being able to go into that ring and putting on a great show. It's what first attracted Ariana to him in the first place. He was sort of like her in that aspect.
Time went on and she was growing impressed with his in ring ability, his ruthless aggression and his complete lack of care for his safety. He was dangerous and Ariana liked this about him. Then came that day, when he finally walked up to her. Her heart was beating ferociously in her chest and she wouldn't look directly at him. His blue eyes were pure electric, sending fire down her spine without even knowing it. When he got to her, he complimented her. But when she looked up, she saw he was talking to Iris who was at her side.
Ariana's heart fell and she tried not to look affected by him being there, or so very obviously hitting on her best friend. She never hid anything from Iris, but this was one thing she did. It was a harmless crush, one that she was awoken from as soon as he asked out her best friend. From then onwards, Iris started to date him. Ariana thought it would be a few dates and she'd get bored of him, but that didn't happen. Instead, Iris seemed to be getting serious with him and him her. Pretty soon, Ariana found him in her company a lot more but she came off as indifferent. She wouldn't talk much and just kept to herself.
From that point on, Ariana vowed never to think like that again of the blue eyed man who had captured her attention from the very moment he walked into the ring as if he owned it. Due to their friends dating, Ariana found she was in the company of the SHIELD a lot more. They would see each other in between their matches, stay in hotel rooms from across each other, and go out to clubs or for dinner together. Ariana mainly always made conversation with Roman, he was the easiest to talk to.
She never bothered to talk the blue eyed man, in fear that he would be able to see through her facade and detect the feelings she tried to desperately to bury deep within herself. Plus, it always felt wrong when the thought of her best friend came to mind. She felt uncontrollable around him and knew that was dangerous, because once she finally decided to give in there was no going back. Iris did ask her if she liked him but Ariana would always reply with, 'He's alright'. She assured her best friend she didn't hate him because sometimes it did seem like that. But it was the only way she could make sure no one knew how she really felt about him.
Ariana loved Iris like a sister and knew their relationship would suffer a huge blow if this came to light. But overtime, it didn't seem to matter anymore. He was a guy who never really cared what others thought of him and she knew he wouldn't lose sleep over it. But apparently, it wasn't herself that Ariana needed to worry about. It was the girl who claimed to have serious feelings for him. The girl who said she loved him and would do anything for him.
"Where is she?" Ariana asks a crew member who looks beyond scared of her. No one knew how Ariana would handle the news, they all thought she would support her best friend but right now, things looked the opposite to everyone. No one could exactly judge what Ariana would do, they all knew she would never support something like this but there was also the fact that Iris was her best friend so that made things hazy. When the crew member doesn't answer, Ariana grabs him by the collars and says, "I'm only asking once".
"She's in catering!" answers the crew member and then quickly runs away. Ariana takes a deep breath and turns around, walking as fast as her feet would take her. Ariana had sacrificed a lot for Iris and Iris pulled something like this, completely blindsiding Ariana. And that made her mad. Madder than she had ever been. Ariana opens the doors to catering with a bang, most of the superstars being present there for their break, all who looked up at her as soon as she opened the doors. Ariana looks around and doesn't spot him there, she shakes her head because it wasn't supposed to happen like this.
Ariana's eyes then land on her so called best friend. Her best friend, looking all loved up with the guy who she left him for. The guy who doesn't even compare to the blue eyed god she'd dreamed about on many an occasion. Ariana loudly stomps over to their table, they didn't even realize she entered the room, too lost in their own world.
Most superstars watch, wondering what else could happen that hadn't already. They'd all been witnessing the fall out for two and a half weeks and this was the final part, the incomplete part that would complete the fallout of what this couple had done. Once Ariana gets to the table she uses brute force to send the chair in front of her flying to the side and bangs both her hands onto the table. This makes the couple jump as they come face to face with a very angry Diva.
"A-Ariana?" asks Iris, not expecting to see her best friend so soon. She knew Ariana would be off for three weeks but they all thought she'd be back tomorrow.
"What the fuck have you done?" asks Ariana, looking directly into the eyes of her best friend, seeing fear set in. Ariana was nice, pleasant to be around if she liked you. But, if you got on her bad side you'd see her dark side. You'd feel her wrath and the anger, the inexplicable anger was a force not to be messed with.
"Ariana, I can explain," starts Iris, frightened of what her best friend would do to her. She thought she'd get the chance to explain to her best friend what happened but right now, she couldn't even do that properly. Ariana's anger would always get the best of her, it seemed to be doing the same this time around too.
"Explain what you cheating bitch?!" asks Ariana, a surprise gasp making its way out of Iris's mouth. She knew Ariana would be a little mad, but not like this.
"I know you're angry Ariana, but let Iris explain at least," Seth intervenes between the two. Ariana puts her hand up in his direction, looking at him for the first time since she arrived.
"I don't appreciate backstabbing son's of bitches interrupting a private conversation," says Ariana through clenched teeth. She looks back at Iris angrily, not being able to believe her best friend did something so vile.
"Ari, please," says Iris, trying to hold in her emotions. Her best friend was looking at her as if she was a stranger and it's not something she could take right now. "Just hear me out," she pleads.
"Hear what out exactly?" questions Ariana, not caring that she was loud enough for everyone to hear. "How while the rest of us were living a normal life you thought it'd be fun to wreck his life?" she asks, shaking her head. "How could you do this to him?" she then asks
"We never intended to hurt him," says Iris but Ariana laughs bitterly.
"Oh really? Are you such a dumb bitch that you thought he would be ecstatic that his best friend and girlfriend were fucking each other's brains out behind his back?!" Ariana shouts angrily.
"I know you're upset Ariana but you don't need to talk to her like that," says Seth, getting up and looking at Ariana angrily. He loves Iris and he wasn't going to sit here and listen to her being insulted like this by Ariana.
"Or what?" asks Ariana, standing up straight and putting her hands on her hips. "Are you going to stab me in the back too? I dare you to fucker!" she says, looking him right in the eyes.
"Out of all people, I thought you'd understand Ari," says Iris, getting up too. "I thought you'd know the importance of the love I feel for Seth," she says as Ariana chuckles bitterly.
"What kind of fucked up love is this?!" asks Ariana. "How can you justify any of this by saying it's love? If you even knew what love was then you wouldn't have strung him along like you did!" she shouts, her chest heaving up and down. "Oh and just so you know, people I consider friends or family call me Ari, from now on you're neither," she says, shaking her head. "I hope you two rot in hell!" she then says, turning around to leave.
"Ariana, wait," says Iris, not caring that everyone was watching this spectacle. Ariana stops and slowly turns around, Iris doesn't want to lose her best friend. If there's no one she can trust, the one person she can always count on is Ariana. She doesn't want to lose her. "Please just think about this, we've been friends for a long time," she says, Seth standing not too far behind her.
"Yeah and I never pegged you for a self centered backstabbing whore!" shouts Ariana, hearing gasps from all around the room. The tension in the air was thick as everyone awaited Iris's response.
"Ok, that's enough," says Seth, putting an arm around Iris who shrugs it off and walks closer to Ariana.
"Alright, maybe I was selfish but I couldn't stay with him when I didn't love him!" shouts Iris. "He's a good guy but he doesn't make me feel the way Seth does. You'd understand too but you've never been in a proper relationship to know anything about it!" she says, pointing at her friend as this time Ariana looks on in shock, her anger levels only rising. "You don't know what it feels like to be loved by someone like Seth loves me. That's why you don't understand".
"Don't you dare say another word," Ariana warns her through clenched teeth, knowing she won't be able to control her anger if Iris jabbed one more comment in her direction.
"Why? Have I struck a nerve?" asks Iris, unwilling to come out of this as the bad guy. "You're here lecturing me about love when you can't, no one's ever loved you so what would you know about it?!" she says and that does it because Ariana jumps on top of Iris, both of them landing on the floor. She keeps a good hold on Iris's hair as Iris screams for her to let go. But Ariana only sees red and Seth ends up holding her and getting her to back off.
"Get the fuck off of me!" shouts Ariana, stepping on Seth's foot and then turning around, delivering an ear deafening slap to his face. She then turns around and goes back to Iris only to be pulled off by another person, she knows it's someone else because Seth grabs like a girl! "Get off of me! You like pretending to be the self righteous cow don't you Iris? Then you say shit like that and show your true colors! After the shit you pulled, neither of you will ever be happy!" he rants as she's being dragged away. She watches Seth kneel where Iris is. "I hope you rot and burn in hell and you won't ever be happy by destroying someone else's happiness!" This is the last thing that leaves her mouth as he person who's got a hold of her drags her outside the door. She continues to struggle and get out of the grip, once they're down the hallway he lets her go.
Ariana moves away from him and turns around to see none other than him standing there. The blue eyed guy who'd been wronged in this whole story. The guy who for some reason pulled her off of Iris. Dean Ambrose. He was the one that pulled her out of catering and he's the one that's looking at her with an unhappy look on his face.
Reviews would be great! : )
