A/N So this is my first ever fanfiction and I'm looking forward to the challenge of it all. The story starts just after Extreme Rules 2016 when Seth Rollins made his return to WWE. As I said, this is my first ever story and so any feedback would be much appreciated.

Colby Lopez was ecstatic as he left the Prudential Centre in Newark, New Jersey after the 2016 edition of WWE Pay-Per-View 'Extreme Rules'. He had gotten word of his return on the Friday before the event and he had had to avoid nearly everyone in the locker room for the last few days to ensure that word of his return wouldn't be spoiled. The only people that new were Vince, Paul (Triple H) and Joe (Roman) and even Joe had only found out ten minutes before the beginning of his match with AJ Styles.

It was now half an hour after the show and Colby was showered and into some more comfortable clothes, walking towards his rental car dragging a suitcase, ready to start the two-hour drive to the next town for Raw the next day. Unlike prior to his injury, he was travelling alone. He would usually travel with Cesaro but he already had a partner for the night and it was too late to adjust plans for the journey.

Sighing slightly as he opened the boot of his car, he lifted the suitcase into the boot. Turning around, he was surprised to find Becky Lynch behind him, on the phone whilst basically running around the empty parking lot, seemingly looking for her travel partner.

Rebecca looked shyly across the parking lot. Biting her lip as she tried to work up the courage to ask Colby for a lift to the next town… she had barely spoken to him before as they both mainly kept to themselves backstage but he had always seemed nice enough in passing. Complimenting matches, a friendly hello. Just normal things. She walked over to him and saw him smirk, knowing what she was about to ask.

"Let me guess… Ashley and Mercedes left without you and you need a lift?" Colby asked, beating her to the punch.

"If it's not too much hassle, yeah please." Rebecca replied sheepishly, her cheeks blushing at the embarrassment of the situation.

"Yeah, it's no problem. Chuck your bags in the car and we'll get going." Rebecca thanked him as she put her bags in the boot, placing them next to his and silently thanked fate that he was still there and she wasn't stranded in Newark until she could get on a plane the next morning.

They drove in silence for a while, neither knowing quite what to say to the other. After a bit, Colby offered to stop for coffee attempting to break the awkwardness. She of course accepted, and was happy to get some caffeine into her system after a long night of being around work. She hadn't had a match but that just made it worse for her, being around people doing what they loved and not being able to do the same. After they had bought their drinks, Colby had insisted on buying both coffee's despite the protests from Rebecca, they returned to the car and Colby fiddled around with the Spotify trying to find a playlist that he wanted to listen to. "Anything preference of music?" Colby asked nonchalantly, remembering that Rebecca had a similar taste of music to himself,

"I don't know… some Metallica?" Rebecca replied nervously, hoping that she had picked something that he liked.

"Good choice!" he replied, forcing Rebeca to release a breath she never realised she had been holding. "Metallica it is!". After fiddling around for a second, Colby settled on the Black Album and put the car back into gear.

After a bit more awkward silence, Rebecca commented on the return of Seth to the ring and realised just how passionate Colby was about wrestling, as if it was the only thing on the planet that was truly worth anything. And the same was true for Colby, he loved wrestling and he loved working for WWE but he had never thought about how important it was to everyone else around him. He learned that about Rebecca, just how much she loved this business. To an extent he thought that wrestling was more important to Rebecca than it even was to him. They talked endlessly about Black and Brave, Colby's wrestling school back in Moline and how he had spent so much time there during his rehab process because he just couldn't bear to be away from the business for that long.

Then, finally, they reached the hotel in Baltimore. "Thank you for this, Seth", it was standard for Superstars who weren't particularly close to refer to each other by their ring names, Rebecca says "I don't know what I would have done without you."

"For the millionth time, it really is no hassle. Any time Sasha and Charlotte ditch you, don't hesitate to ask. You're actually the best travel partner I've had in a long time!"

"Seth…" Rebecca starts

"Colby" he interrupts jokingly

"Fine… Colby, I'm the only travel partner you've had in a while" she replies

"No, I've been travelling with Kevin a lot." he states, pretending to get defensive

"Your dog doesn't count"

"Fine. But I'm serious, any time you need anyone to travel with or need someone to talk to, just let me know. I'm never more than a text message away."

With that, they went into the hotel and checked into their rooms, saying goodbye in the hallway. Rebecca's room being a few doors away from Colby's, rather coincidentally. He watched her for a second, smiling as she fumbled with her key and got into her room. Snapping back into reality, Colby opened his door and lay down on his bed. Exhausted and with a slightly stiff knee from the long drive. Excited for Raw the next day, and happy that he had could get to know Rebecca better…

A/N so that's it for this chapter. I don't know what the upload schedule is for this story yet, but hopefully I'll be able to figure out one soon. But anyway, thanks for reading and I would appreciate it if you could read a review. As I said earlier, this is my first story and any feedback, negative and positive, would be much appreciated.
