Reader goes to check up on Cody Rhodes while her relationship with Colby Lopez hangs in the balance after a little mix-up
•
I stopped in my tracks, biting down on my lips as I stared at the door of the hospital room Cody was in.
My hand lingered above the door handle as I continued to contemplate whether or not I was making the right decision by coming here.
Of course you are, a thought in my mind seemingly answered for me as I now lowered my hand onto the door handle, feeling the coldness on my palm.
But Colby...
What would he think?
Two new thoughts rang out just as I had being to apply pressure on the handle to open the door.
"Colby..." I whispered to myself, images of my pissed off boyfriend from earlier flickering in my mind.
Images of how his eyes flickered with so much hatred as he processed the fact that I had mistakenly called him Cody.
How contorted his face looked.
How he had left me in the backstage area alone as he stormed away.
My body quivered as I mentally shook the images from my mind.
I had done nothing wrong
Sure I called Colby, Cody but it wasn't on purpose
I was just confused from the kiss I had shared with Cody which again, was an ACCIDENT
But that kiss also stirred up a lot of emotions.
Emotions I thought I had buried deep, deep down in my thoughts after Cody and I had parted ways after five years together.
Five of the happiest years of my life.
Up until the last few months of course, I reminded myself.
Why did he have to come back?
If he had just stayed away at AEW I would've been fine.
I wouldn't be here.
I wouldn't be questioning myself, my decisions.
I wouldn't be confused over which man I loved.
I wouldn't have, had to hear Cody finally say the words I had wanted him to say so many years earlier.
"I still love you, Y|N..."
Did I still love him though?
I sighed, realizing that I had been holding my breath this whole time.
"I won't know if I don't go in." I mumbled slightly frustrated at myself for taking so long to build up the courage to step inside Cody's hospital room.
I hurriedly pushed down on the door handle, and stepped inside the room unwilling to give myself another second to think, afraid I may spend another five or ten minutes getting into my own head again.
"Cody, I really need to talk to you," I began to ramble uncontrollably, not even stopping to think that maybe they had given Cody some kind of painkillers and that he could be sleeping. I just knew I had some things to say and I wanted to say them while I had this built up confidence. "I can't stop thinking about what you said and I know it seemed like you meant it but I," I paused for a second to swallow. "I just need to hear you say you meant i-"
I stopped suddenly, as I finally rounded the corner in his hospital room seeing a female figure standing over him, rubbing her thumb along his cheek.
"Brandi..?" I gasped out, seeing the attractive woman standing at his bedside.
"Y|N..?" Cody's estranged wife called out my name, her tone matching mines as if she was mocking me.
Her face was made up like it always was when you would see her on TV, she was dressed nice like always, the only difference this time...
Her red puffy eyes.
Had she been crying over Cody?
Was his situation that bad?
I mean it looked that bad but was it bad enough to rush to your estranged husband's bedside to be with him?
Well you rushed to be here for him, that voice in my head reminded me
"Y|N..." I faintly heard my name being called as I continued to blankly stare over in Brandi's direction, my thoughts once again consuming me. "Y|N..." I heard it again as I finally snapped my eyes over from the female and over to the male that I had come to see.
The very male, I was so confused about.
"Yeah?" I asked, my gaze now locked on Cody's.
His blue eyes staring back into mines.
"I said, what are you doing here..?" Cody seemingly repeated
I shook my head, once again biting at my lip as it had begun to trimble out of nowhere. "I um..." I took a breath, trying to come up with a lie, knowing I couldn't tell the truth to why I was there.
Not with Brandi in the room.
"I um..." I stuttered again.
"You just came to see if I was okay after that match?" Cody spoke up again, slightly nodding his head as if he was trying to let me know he was trying to help me because he realized I wasn't able to get a full sentence out.
He always did know when to jump in and help me, I thought
Just like when I was struggling to come up with what to say to Colby earlier this evening...
"Uh, yeah..." I mumbled. "But I didn't know your wife was here..." I spat out.
A small part of me wanted to see if his eyes would let me know how he felt about me calling Brandi his wife.
Were they going to show that he loved having Brandi referred to as his wife?
Or were they going to show that he didn't like it, considering that they were supposingly separated and had been for almost a year now, according to the news that broke all across social media.
But as I continued to search his eyes I couldn't sew any kind of hint or answer to the questions I was thinking.
Just a few hours ago he practically confessed his fucking love for you, Y|N... you should know the answer whether he says it or not... you should know
"...But since you do and I see that you're okay, I should go." I quickly said, doing a quick turn to head back the way I came, in a hurry to get out of this hospital room and away from the two people in it. "Bye."
In what seemed like twenty five or thirty seconds, I had finally reached the door and the second my hand came in contact with the cool handle I heard my name being called again.
Cody's voice rang in my ears as he pleaded for me to stop, but little did he know, it only encouraged my feet to move faster.
I just had to get away from there.
I refused to see him again.
I refused to see her standing by his bedside, stroking his cheek with her thumb.
And I damn sure refused to let the both of them see my cry.
As I got a few doors down from Cody's room, I rounded the corner bumping into someone.
"Shit." I gasped out, looking up and being able to make out through blurry vision the person I bumped into was Cody's older brother. "Sorry Dustin."
Dustin nodded, looking down at me, concern in his eyes and voice. "You okay?"
I nodded, mumbling a quick. "Yeah." Before adding. "Just came to check up on Cody, but I'm really in a rush." I added half lying so that I could get away and not have to hold a conversation any longer.

I silently groaned to myself as I walked into the hotel room that I shared with my boyfriend Colby.
It felt so wrong just stepping foot into here with the way my feelings are beyond twisted.
"Colby..." I called out, keeping my voice purposefully low, hoping that he'd probably be sleep or better yet put at a bar pr something so that I could try to sort myself out.
But of course I couldn't be that lucky, I thought as I heard footsteps coming closer towards the entrance of the room.
"Where you with him?" Colby questioned as soon as he was face to face with me.
That was one of the things I liked about him.
Always getting straight to the point.
Unlike Cody who I had to drag it out of.
But once I did, his words just flowed like a river, unafraid to say what was on his mind.
"Yes," I admitted. "Yes I was." I added, walking further into the hotel room, going directly to my luggage that sat in a corner.
Colby quickly followed, grabbing at my arm. "What are you doing?" He asked, a mixture of confusion and anger lacing his words. "Why are you packing? Where are you going Y|N?" He asked again, throwing a couple more sentences at me.
I grabbed a few items of clothing, shaking my head. "I can't do this Colby..." I said, finally giving him an answer. "I can't do us anymore."
After shoving a few more things in my luggage, I eventually looked up to face Colby.
"I went to see him, nothing happened,"I spoke again, making sure it was known I didn't have some kind of quickie affair and had come to our shared hotel room to pack my things because I was leaving Colby for Cody. "I wouldn't do that to you. I love you too much to do something like that."
"Then why are you leaving me?"
I sighed again, wiping a tear that had fallen. "Because after almost three years of being with you, I've come to love you, obviously and even though I'm not sure what my feelings for Cody are, I don't think I can continue to be with you bec-"
Colby scrunched up his face, giving me a weird look like I was talking a foreign language he didn't understand or something. "What are you trying to say."
"I used to date Cody," I continued, talking a bit slower than my previous pace. "We were together for five years and earlier when you were still in the ring after your match," I paused to bite at the skin on the inside of my cheek. "I kiss-- I kissed him." I finally stuttered out. "And it was on accident, it really was," I continued. "I thought it was you coming back from the ring and I knew you'd be upset cause of your loss, and I figured I'd be waiting with a kiss to let you know that even though you loss, I was there for you and you'd always be my winner," again, I paused to make sure he was keeping up and after he frustratedly nodded, I continued. "I moved to fast and didn't realize till after the kiss felt different that it wasn't you I was kissing. And when I opened my eyes it was you. Then you walked in and I got nervous and well after you got pissed at me mixing up your name, Cody came back from down the hall where he overheard us, well you, yelling at me and he," I bit deeper on the inside of my cheek. "He told me he still loved me."
I finally finished explaining everything that had been wrecking my mind for the past five or six hours, and for about a minute or so, all Colby did was stare at me through narrowed eyes.
"Was it a good different?"
It was my turn to narrow my eyes, as I looked at the man in front of me in disbelief.
"What are you asking?" I questioned, even though I had a feeling what he was asking.
Colby ran a hand through his frizzy hair. "The kiss." He sighed, swallowing as if the words he was about to ask, were a lump that had formed in his throat. "You said you knew it wasn't me you were kissing because it felt different. Was it a good different or a bad different."
"You don't really want me to answer that, Colby," I replied.
"Good or bad?" Colby asked again, his tone darker.
I looked down unable to look him in the eyes because of the words that were about to come from my mouth. "Good." I whispered just enough that he could hear.
I was very aware that after tonight I was going to be on my own.
No Colby
And from what I saw at the hospital no Cody
But I'm proud of the way I handle the situation between me and Colby
He's a sweet guy when he wants to be and he wouldn't have deserved for me to keep what happened from him a minute longer
I'd be sleeping alone but at least I would be able to sleep
