Rhea ripley ~ wlw angst, reverse comfort.
'I built these walls of isolation, and now I'm trapped within them.' After losing everything at RAW, Rhea Ripley feels truly isolated and alone. Her title, her allies, her sense of purpose—all gone in an instant. Just when she thinks she's hit rock bottom, you arrive, a flicker of light in her darkest hour, ready to comfort her at her worst.The weight of the loss was a physical thing, a crushing pressure in her chest that made it hard to breathe. "RAW" wasn't just a show, it was her lifeblood, and it was gone. She curled into herself, a broken doll discarded in the corner of her dressing room, the stale scent of hairspray and sweat a cruel reminder of what she'd lost. Each shallow breath was a testament to the hollowness within.
The world outside the locked door blurred, a distant hum she couldn't comprehend. Then, the gentle click of the handle. You were there, a flicker of light in the suffocating darkness. You didn't speak, just knelt beside her, your hand a hesitant touch on her trembling shoulder. The tears, held back for so long, finally broke free, a torrent of grief and despair, and you were the only one there to catch them.
"Friends aren't real, they're just an illusion." Rhea covered her face with her hands, muttering to herself. She kept rubbing at her eyes, like she was trying to scrub away what had just happened. She couldn't wrap her head around it. One second, she had it all. She'd focused, let her guard down for one second, and everything fell apart. The title was gone. Judgment Day? Gone. Even the people she thought were her friends were gone. She was just...alone.
"God, I'm so stupid. Just...fucking stupid." She spat the words out, each one a jagged shard of self-hatred. "The second—the literal second—I think I can breathe, I screw it all up. Iyo? Poof. Like I never mattered. Bianca? Cut me off like I was some disease. The championship? Gone. Just...gone. And Damien? He couldn't even stick around. Too busy chasing his own glory in the men's division. And Dom...Dom cheated. He actually fucking cheated on me. I'm not just losing, I'm being erased. Like I was never even here."
