rhea had been losing friends left and right.

first was you, and sure, that was a while ago, but it still hurt every time rhea had to see her. then the judgement day, who all decided to side with you (expect for damian) after summerslam for some reason rhea didn't understand.

then there was you. you were the inaugural NXT women's tag champs and the longest reigning too.

rhea had only betrayed you all those years ago because she was scared. scared things were going too fast, scared of commitment, and scared that you would realise she wasn't enough. so to protect herself, she hurt you.

she hurt you so bad that you were out of the ring for almost two years.

after that, you became rivals, doing everything you could to tear each other apart.

then damian, she didn't really lose him, but he moved to smackdown while rhea stayed at raw.

then IYO, her best friend. she didn't mean to mess that up, but she saw IYO in trouble, so she ran out to help her, accidentally causing the match to end in disqualification.

after rhea caused IYO to lose her chance at the elimination chamber, IYO challenged her for the womens world title. at this point, rheas title was the only thing she still had, but she accepted.

after a massive beating from IYO, rhea got pinned and lost her title.

she stared up at the ceiling of the arena as she laid on the mat.

this was all her fault.

until she felt someone slide into the ring. you.

she braced herself for another beating, but it never came.

all she felt was your soft hands on her cheeks, a feeling she has been missing for five long years.
