Andi knelt on the mat, the WWE belt in her hands. John Cena sat against a ring post, watching as she slowly got to her feet, a hand being held aloft as she was again signalled the winner of the bout. The girl had put herself through hell, figuratively and literally, taking him on in a Hell in a Cell match back in October the year prior. And here John sat, the first week of January 2017, and he'd just lost his belt to Andi. He could see Roman Reigns watching on, applauding with the crowds as she made her way to a turnbuckle, climbed it and held the belt high. The crowd roared its approval as one. Andi got down, and wiped a trickle of blood and sweat from her forehead, before getting a microphone.

"Hey…Roman...I just need you to know something. I did this for you." She said, beaming. John was now standing and he found himself smiling as she looked down at the man, waiting as he got a microphone.

"For me?" He asked, incredulous. "You put yourself through hell and back, you pushed yourself to the absolute pinnacle of the business…for me?"

"I…well I wanted to impress you." She said as he got up and stood on the apron.

"Well consider me impressed." Roman replied.

"I wanted to show you that I'm worth being your girl."

"That's nice and all…but no." The crowds instantly turned on the boos as Andi's face, so full of glee and hope, took on a look that said she was in more than just physical pain.

"No? " She asked, her voice cracking as she did so. John took a few steps forwards and stood nearby as Roman uttered his fatal blow.

"No, because I don't want to be with you." Roman said, before jumping down from the apron.

"But I did all this for you! Not for me, for you!" she exclaimed, pain coming fast to the surface.

"I hate to break it to you, but you wasted your time." He said, before dropping the mic and walking out of the arena. John held on to her as she fell to her knees, and knelt next to her as she burst in to tears, the droplets of sadness dripping on to the gold that she had won that evening.

John had brought her to medical, and gotten her seen to. It all made sense now, he realised. Why she had eagerly put her name forwards for every chance, everything that would bring the women's division back to the heights it used to be when stars like Lita and Trish Stratus graced the ring. Andi had wanted to show Roman she was something special, that she had that spark, that little something that he would maybe see was worth more than a casual affair. Ever since Wrestlemania 2016, she had pushed, and pushed, and pushed. At house shows, she was the one pulling out the daring moves, the ladder top dives. She did the cage matches, the street fights. It paid off, because the crowds were clamouring on the TV tapings for her, asking where she was, why wasn't she there. Steph and Hunter had listened, and back in September, brought her on TV. She was given a shot the Monday after Night of Champions to get a match at Hell in a Cell against John Cena. And John had to hand it to her, he was duly impressed. She handled herself well, she made the crowds her own with a flick of the hair and a swing of her fists. And it had all lead to getting a match with John, and him losing his WWE belt to her. And all that, had simply been so she could impress Roman Reigns. He felt his heart ache for her as she was given the all clear, and allowed to leave. Clearly, he wasn't feeling the same way.

It was further proven when they went to leave that night. John had offered to take her back to the hotel, as she had arrived with Roman. Roman was waiting in the car park for Dean as the two came out, Andi clearly heartbroken.

"Did you really mean what you said?" She asked. Her voice was cracking despite these being the first words she said. "That I wasted my time? That what we had was nothing?"

"We didn't have anything to begin with." Roman said with a cold voice.

"We didn't have anything?!" Andi exclaimed. "We stayed at each other's houses, we went out together, we SLEPT together! That's a little more than a regular booty call, Reigns!" Andi held out a hand, gesturing as she spoke.

"Well, you clearly read more in to it than I did."

"Read more in to it? I did this FOR YOU. To impress you! I wanted you to be proud of me. Fuck, I LOVED YOU!" Andi found herself yelling as he walked away. Roman paused, his shoulders sunk a little as he turned his head.

"But I never loved you." He said, just loud enough for her to hear as he walked away. John involuntarily cringed for her, and decided to get her back to the hotel.

When they got back to the hotel, he was surprised to see Hunter and Chris Jericho waiting in the lobby.

"We'll take it from here, John. Thanks for taking care of her." Hunter said as Jericho put an arm around her shoulders, looking at her in concern.

"Anytime, Hunter. Anytime."
