Twenty minutes earlier…
"Just admit it already, you put up those pictures of Zahra just like Leighla put up the ones of me! I never thought of you as a traitor before this, Mandy… but nowadays, you've been a completely different person and it's because you've spent more time around the Demon King and less time around me and your other friends!" Seth shouted after Amanda once again denied being responsible for posting the pictures of Zahra, the 25 year old brunette feeling horribly insulted and betrayed.
"I'm not the one who went and posted anti-Semitic pictures online, that was her! She's a racist bitch and you're too blind to see that!" Amanda yelled.
"Bullshit! You just don't like that I cheated on my ex fiancee, that didn't give you the right to go fuck up mine and Zahra's relationship! Why don't you go screw Finn and see if that'll make you feel any better, huh, little Demon Mistress?!" Seth yelled drunkenly, the last part as a taunt as he downed the last shot of whiskey.
"Get out! Now!" Amanda growled, going over to where her duffel bag was… and Seth saw her grab a photo album and open it, her back to him.
And he turned incensed, snatching it from her and throwing it in the fireplace after shoving her down to the floor.
Amanda bolted upright and grabbed the fire extinguisher, putting the flames out… but Seth could see the tears trailing down her face.
"Well that's what you get for ignoring me." Seth responded… and Amanda turned around and punched him right in the face, striking him repeatedly as she screamed in rage.
"THOSE WERE IRREPLACEABLE PHOTOS OF CHRIS, NANCY AND DANIEL, YOU HEARTLESS BASTARD! AND YOU FUCKING DESTROYED THEM, GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE AND NEVER BARGE BACK INTO MY LIFE AGAIN! NOW!" Amanda yelled louder than Seth thought possible as he pulled himself up, the taller man bruised and bleeding.
"Mandy-" Seth responded.
"GO! GO BACK TO YOUR FUCKING WHORE ZAHRA, I HOPE SHE DESTROYS EVERYTHING THAT YOU HOLD CLOSE TO YOU!" Amanda yelled, Seth turning and leaving.
Amanda threw the fire extinguisher at the wall and sobbed as she sat down, back against the bed and her head in her hands.
Already, she felt like her heart was irrevocably broken…
Present time…
Finn and Yuki were helping a drunken Hiroki out of the elevator, Hiroki noticing the cracked open door that led to the hotel room that Amanda and Finn shared.
"Hey… the room is spinning. Yuki! Attack!" Hiroki said drunkenly.
"I'm not gonna do that." Yuki answered. "How in the hell did you drink a bottle in a half hour, brother?" She questioned.
"I don't know…" Hiroki responded, Finn going into the room… and immediately running to Amanda, crouching down and helping her sit up as Hiroki and Yuki walked in… and saw that Amanda's eyes were red and her makeup had trailed down her face before they saw the burnt photo album.
"He snatched it out of… my hands, threw it… I tried to put the fire out but…" Amanda replied, her voice shot from the heavy crying and Finn picking her up into his arms.
He set her down on the bed as Yuki grabbed one of Amanda's Neutrogena makeup remover wipes and lightly removed the makeup that the brunette had been wearing… afterwards, Amanda stood up on shaking legs with Finn's arms around her and Amanda and Yuki hugging before Amanda and Hiroki hugged.
"I better get him to lie down." Yuki replied before she guided Hiroki out of the room, Finn getting Amanda to sit down.
"Stay here, Darlin'." Finn whispered before he headed into the restroom, Amanda having set out some underwear and one of Finn's Bullet Club shirts that she had been using as a nightshirt lately before Seth showed up with the accusations towards her... Amanda heard the sound of a cupboard being opened before it was closed and then she heard water running.
She heard it stop and then saw Finn, who helped her back up to her feet and led her into the restroom… he helped her strip down and get settled into the clawfoot bathtub, Amanda closing her eyes as the warm water helped soothe her achy body. Sitting down on a nearby chair he brought in with him, Finn grabbed a washcloth and soaked it in the water before he lightly ran it through Amanda's shoulder length hair and resting it on her neck as she looked at him… and he could see that behind the pain in her hazel eyes, she was looking at him with trust.
"I'll never hurt you, Mandy… I promise." Finn whispered, lightly kissing Amanda on the top of her head.
Down in the hotel bar, Dianne saw blood drops on the tile floor and walked over to Seth.
"What in hell's name did you do now, did you kill Mandy?!" Dianne demanded as she grabbed Seth by his left ear, evoking painful screaming from him and Seth managing to get out of her grip.
"No, I didn't kill her! She almost killed me though, the little bitch fucking flipped out over a photo album burning, I just wanted her to stop ignoring me!" Seth responded angrily… and Dianne turning disgusted at his behavior.
"You're never gonna get her back as your friend after this! Those pictures were all she had of her innocence before everything turned upside down!" Dianne shouted after lifting her left leg up and slamming her foot into Seth's face, Seth falling to the floor as sickening cracks echoed from his nose and right eye socket before she grabbed him by his shirt. "Don't even bother trying to attempt to get Mandy to trust you again, you broke it completely!" She growled before she picked him up and threw him over the bar itself, Seth screaming as he crashed right into the bottles of liquor and fell to the floor before Dianne left.
Upstairs, Amanda was dressed for bed and curled up in Finn's arms. Her head rested on his right shoulder as he lightly stroked her hair… she was asleep out of pure exhaustion.
And after kissing her on the top of her head, he fell asleep too.
