Starting Over
Chapter 1: Welcome Back
("Tonight,….tonight…" - that was the Smashing Pumpkins with "Tonight, Tonight". This is Jayden and you're listening to K-ROK 107.4 it is 7 AM, Tampa, FL wake up, wake….) *SMACK*
"…*sigh*… 7 AM already? Shit! I'm gonna be late…"
"Way to go Aide, your first day back in 3 months and you're already fucking late!" Adrianna scrambled around her room tossing her gear into her bag frantically racing against the clock. She took a quick but relaxing shower then hopped out and threw on the clean clothes lying in her chair. Taking a quick minute to throw on some makeup she said to herself, "well, hopefully he won't be there…*Shaking Her Head*…I must be kidding myself of course that son of a bitch will be there!" She huffed and slung her bag over her shoulder as she headed towards her front door. Stepping outside she put her shades on and then turned to lock her door. "Ok Aide, today you start over" she mumbled to herself. As she walked to her car her phone rang. "Oh great, the boss is calling me. This should be good.."
"Stephanie, how are you?" "I'm doing great Adrianna, and I can't wait to see you today! I know you've had a rough last 3 months, but I hope you kept your figure, ha-ha.." "Oh Steph you've got jokes now, but yes I kept my figure. What's the deal with that anyway?" "Well funny you should ask. I assume you've been keeping up with what's going around here?" "Yeah.." "Then you should know that you will be making a heel turn tonight and there's another little surprise in there too but I don't want to reveal everything over the phone." "I understand. I've been wanting to go heel for a while now so thanks for the opportunity!" "Absolutely! I'll see you at the arena tonight. Goodbye, Adrianna." "See you later Steph."
After grabbing breakfast from Starbucks and being stuck in traffic for the last half hour, Adrianna had finally arrived at the USF Sun Dome. She carefully parked her beloved red Camaro and got out after she popped the trunk. "At least the jerk didn't take my damn car away from me..' she said as she locked her doors and headed into the loading bay area. She weaved her way through the sound and stage crews maneuvering her way back to the locker room area. She sighed, "Here goes nothing" and she made her way into the Diva's locker room.
"Aide?! Oh my God! You're actually here, this is so awesome! Welcome Back!" "Uh thanks, Brie! Nice to see you." Brie squeezed Adrianna with a huge embrace that caught her off guard. Last time she checked the Bellas were ascending back into the spotlight due to her impending absence. "So how are you doing? We've missed you around here." "I'm feeling better, I definitely needed the time away to calm down and refocus my energy on myself. And in case you were wondering I missed you guys too." "So do you know where Stephanie's office is supposed to be in this place? She wants me to meet her later on." "Um actually, I do not. I've got to go and meet Nikki in a few minutes myself. You should give Stephanie a call. I'll catch you later though. It really is good to have you back!" Brie smiled at Aide and gave her a soft little tap on the shoulder as she left the locker room. Adrianna placed her bag inside of her locker and made her way out so that she could find Stephanie. As she walked the corridor she received plenty of hugs and welcome back high-fives from other wrestlers, divas, and crew members. She found herself standing near one of the concession stands fumbling through her phone looking for Steph's number to call her. She hated when she would clear her call history and then needed to call someone back. While she was scrolling through her contacts she heard her name being called.
"I'm telling you that's Aide!" a husky voice rang out behind her. "Dude, that's not her! It can't be her!" a raspy-high pitched voice retorted. "I know that beautiful ass when I see it and that is Adrianna's ass! Look again Seth.." Roman huffed. A smile grew across Aide's face as she turned around to see two of her favorite guys, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins. She put her phone back in her pocket and made her way over to them. "Well, well look what the cat dragged in.." Seth said as he fought to hold back a smile. "Nice to see you too jackass!" Adrianna said as she playfully put Seth in headlock and eventually hugged him. "It's about damn time you came back.." Roman said as he snatched Aide into a tight hug against his broad chest. She paused a brief moment to inhale his cologne. He and Seth always smelled so amazing to her. Eventually she shrugged away from Roman and scratched her head as she looked around. "S..So, where's Dean?" she asked coyly. Seth and Roman both gave her a blank stare before smiles grew across their faces. "He's behind me, isn't he?" she said raising her eyebrow at Roman and Seth. She felt two hands wrap around her waist and snatch her back into hug as a low raspy voice mumbled into her ear, "Speak of the Devil and he shall appear." She smiled, "I see someone is still quoting Bane from the Dark Knight Rises, huh?" she teased. She turned around and gave Dean Ambrose a huge hug. "It's nice to come back and hang out with my three favorite guys. I missed you all so much." Dean smiled back and looked at Seth and Roman, "Believe me, we missed you too. Welcome Back, Aide!"
