A little something I came up with while listening to Tove Lo's Queen of the Clouds, particularly Got Love :) Hope you enjoy and tell me what you think...

Part 1-

"You're getting the call up to the main roster Finn!"

Of course he was hesitant. He'd been talking for months about staying put and how happy he was to be in NXT. But he'd accomplished everything he could and he came to terms that there were bigger and better things awaiting... But there was only one problem.

Brea.

"T-Thanks... Thanks so much," Finn stammered, unable to process the rest of the conversation with Hunter. He got the important details, like how he had to be in Boston for the next RAW the following week. But that was it. The entire time his mind was hung up with thoughts of his girlfriend Brea... The Brea Ramsey who'd just won the NXT Women's Championship, who was at her prime just as he'd been when he won the NXT Championship. She was just establishing herself and here he was about to leave the best thing in his life- his rock, his confidence, his shoulder to lean on whenever he felt overwhelmed or unsure. She was perfect, she understood him completely.

She was perfect.

"Thank you for the opportunity, Hunter," he managed to say before the conversation ended and he was left staring at his phone in the middle of his living room. Alone.

That's what life was going to be like on the main roster: traveling, flying, eating, sleeping alone. Way before they were lovers, they were best friends. They spent every waking hour together training, hanging out, realizing they had a lot of common interests outside of wrestling. She helped him escape his quiet shell and in return he humbled her... How they could survive without one another for weeks on end was beyond him. They'd never been given the chance to before.

With his eyes fixated on his phone he saw a text pop up from Brea.

'Hello handsome... On my way home if Carmella can get me there safely'it read

He smiled but it soon fell as he tried to piece together something to say regarding his future once she stepped through that front door.

"Congrats Balor," Joe said as Finn was walking through the backstage of Full Sail. It was his last NXT taping before RAW and everyone had found out about his call up before he could even tell Brea in person.

He didn't mean for her to find out like this through word of mouth but he couldn't bring himself to break the news to her. Instead he let it snowball and acted as if nothing had happened until now when the rumours had been confirmed and everyone was sending him congratulations.

She was just about finished her match and Finn sat a ways away from the curtain, his hood covering his head so that only his eyes were visible. He felt horrible for leaving this last minute and hoped she understood. All he could do was hope.

"Here is your winner and still NXT Women's Champion, Brea Ramsey!"

His palms were sweaty and he tensed knowing she was probably making her way up the ramp by now. But his stomach dropped when she came through the curtain, her obvious smile dropping once she locked eyes with him. The crew and trainers applauded her match before she slowly descended down the hall, her title in her hand as she tried to keep it together. She couldn't face him- she was too angry and upset.

"Brea!" Finn called out as he jogged behind her but she didn't say a word.

"Please talk to me."

"Why should I? You didn't talk to me," she spat, finally turning to face him. Anger took over, something Finn rarely saw but she had good reason.

"I was meaning to tell you... I'm sorry I didn't."

"When were you going to tell me? Sunday night, on your way out the door for Boston?"

Finn sighed. "I know it looks like that."

"It does," she agreed, the tears starting to form. She couldn't help it. She wrapped her arms around him, practically leaping into him. He hugged her back, his face buried in the nape of her neck.

"I don't wanna lose you... I lost Becks, now I'm gonna lose you? I can't deal with that," she sobbed into his shoulder.

"You're not losing me, Brea," Finn reassured her, frustrated she was even thinking that way. "I love you... That's not changing just because scheduling's gonna be different."

"Feels like it, Finn" she whispered.

"Listen," he said, "You're the love of my life... Nothing is goin' to change that. We'll make it work, Bre."

"You still gonna say that a couple months from now when you're at the top of the mountain, with every girl wanting a piece of ya?" She dare ask.

But that was a question Finn didn't even have to answer. "You already know the answer to that."

"Promise?" She whispered.

"Promise."

"A little luck of the Irish going on?" Carmella asked, picking through the newly dyed green bits hidden within Brea's blond locks.

"It matches my new gear so I had to do it," she said, switching TV channels. Carmella had been basically living in Brea and Finn's apartment since he left, something Collin wasn't too fond of.

"She's in a time of need, Cas," she'd always remind him.

"Are you as excited as I am?" Carmella asked, all giddy and stomping her feet.

"I am," Brea said, trying her hardest to show that she was. But it was hard having to adjust to seeing him maybe once a week now.

"Gee Brea, convince yourself at least," Carmela said with a laugh.

Brea's eyes lit up just as the fireworks sounded off, kicking off RAW. "I'm trying... It's just hard."

"Are you happy for him?" Carmella asked.

"Of course I am. He deserves it," Brea answered with confidence. She really was happy for him, there was no doubt about it. He'd worked so hard for everything he'd been awarded. "Just thought we'd have a little more time together before he got called up."

"You guys have been together for a year... That's plenty of time to establish a solid relationship between you two," Carmella reminded her, "It isn't like he's gone forever."

Brea laughed. "When it feels like you've been dependent on one another for so long, it's hard not to think that way."

"He loves you right?" Carmella asked just as Sheamus' music hit. He walked with the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in his hands and a mic in the other, his obvious dismay shining through. For the last week he'd heard rumours of someone from NXT wanting to challenge him but he didn't know who.

"Yeah."

"Do you love him?"

"Yes."

"There you go... You two love each other. Just think if there was still a brand extension like if you were on Smackdown and he was on RAW..."

Brea rolled her eyes. "How's that supposed to make me feel any better?"

Carmella smiled. "It's hard dealing with the time apart when you're so used to being together day and night... You guys are literally each other's air to breathe so I can understand why this is so hard. But you two are furthering your careers in different ways and at the end of the day you're still with the one person you love with all your heart, distance or not."

Brea smirked. "My God, aren't you a softy? What's Big Cas done to ya?"

"I'm your best friend, Brea... I'm just telling you the truth whether you believe it or not."

The two were caught off guard staring back at the TV. The lights were out in the arena and Finn's eerie music began to play. The crowd roared knowing exactly who was about to debut and the anticipation was nerve racking. Red and white strobe lights flickered around where Finn crawled around the fog and he stood still just as he was unveiled.

The reaction from the crowd was insane as Finn made his way to the ring, his eyes locked on Sheamus who was furious he'd been interrupted.

Once Finn entered the ring, the camera panned in on him and he couldn't help but stare deep into it and winking. Brea smiled and Carmella held her hands to her chest, letting out a heart felt "Aw."

In that moment, Brea felt her heart beat faster but her high hopes dropped to new lows at the thought of when she'd see him next.

"Good job out there lad," Sheamus complimented, raising his glass of beer. Finn did the same, clinging the glasses together before taking a swig. "Even I was excited when you came out."

"Even though it looked like you wanted to beat me senseless, you were still excited?" Finn laughed.

Sheamus nodded. "'Course... A talented young man like yourself comin' up for the World Title after a fantastic run as NXT Champion. I'm honoured."

"Means a lot," Finn smiled, "Us two Irish possibly main eventing for the gold?"

"Your girl must be proud," Sheamus smiled.

Finn nodded but he wondered if he was right... If she was proud of him. "'Course."

"How long you two been at it?"

"Year and a bit," Finn answered.

"Good for you," Sheamus said, patting Finn's shoulder. "She's one hell of a spitfire in the ring from what I've seen... You should be proud."

"I am," Finn nodded, "No doubt about it."

"You worry about the distance?"

Of course he did. "Yeah," he shrugged, trying to play it off, "But it's what happens in this business, isn't it?"

Sheamus nodded in agreement, watching as some of the Divas walked into the pub laughing loudly. One in particular caught his eye and he knew she was trouble: the newly single Nikki Bella who was on the prowl for new man by her side. Of course she had to make her way to their table since they were the only men she recognized in the place.

"Hey," she greeted, leaning her arms against the table so her ass stuck out and her chest nearly falling out of the top of her dress.

"Uh, hi," Sheamus said, looking at Finn. The two exchanged a quick glance as if Sheamus was trying to apologize telepathically. "You two meet yet?"

"Nope," Nikki said with a smile, extending her hand. "Nikki Bella."

Finn shook her hand politely. "Finn Balor."

"Of course... You're amazing, I've seen like every one of your matches," she said, trying so hard to impress him.

"Thanks," Finn said while she took it upon herself to sit in the empty stool between the two. "Why don't you get me whatever you're having," she said to Sheamus.

He chuckled. "A girl like you can handle what we're drinkin'? You sure?"

"Positive," she smiled.

"Okay," Sheamus shrugged, standing from the stool and making his way to the bar.

"So... How was your first night?"

"Good," Finn said, cradling his glass awkwardly in his hands, his eyes fixated on the condensation. "Was everythin' I thought it would be."

"You looked really good," she giggled, "Wish I could have seen some war paint though."

"That'll come."

"Good... So tell me. Is Mr. Balor single?"

"Uh," Finn started but before he could even finish his response, Sheamus placed a glass of beer in the middle of the table, interrupting him. "Beer for this pretty lass," he said, taking his seat again.

"Thank you," Nikki said, her eyes entranced with Finn's. "So, you were saying Finn?"

He couldn't deny the fact that Nikki was gorgeous and he wasn't used to this attention... It was exciting.

But it was like what Brea asked of him before he left.

"You still gonna say that a couple months from now when you're at the top of the mountain, with every girl wanting a piece of ya?"

Her words rang in his ears, making him envious that he was actually sort of enjoying this new found attention.
