Summerslam weekend, 2016…

Finn's eyes snapped open, seeing that he was unharmed.

'It was just a bad dream…' He thought, stretching back out in the hotel bed and looking out at the Brooklyn skyline… he wasn't settling back into sleep though and the brunette next to him knew it.

"Finn?"

Finn turned, seeing Amanda's sleepy hazel eyes looking into his blue ones.

"Sorry I woke you…" Finn whispered as Amanda lightly ran her right hand along his left arm… they never minded sharing a bed, it was just a human need to want to be near someone when asleep.

"It's okay… I wasn't that deep into sleep anyway. I'm nervous about Summerslam too and that never really goes away… it's…" Amanda responded, trailing off.

"The ladder incident last year… hey, there won't be any weapons thrown at you. No matter how angry Seth gets, I won't let him hurt you." Finn said, his left hand resting on Amanda's right shoulder.

"It's not me I'm worried about him hurting… he's been angrier since returning in May and you being drafted to the Raw roster in July and-" Amanda responded, starting to ramble.

But Finn's left hand rested on the side of her face now and she looked up at him… leaning in, Finn pressed his lips against Amanda's as he ran his hand up the back of her head now and his fingers ran through it.

Both of their pulses started to race as Finn pulled Amanda on top of him, his hands resting on her hips and about to pull her red cami off… but a fist banging against the wall cut them off.

"Whoever's going at it, I appreciate the need to get hot and bothered but I have a match at the pay per view!" John yelled.

"Yeah! Whoever it is, either wait or go use the fucking elevator!" Nikki shouted.

Amanda covered her mouth with her right hand to muffle a snicker as she settled back into Finn's arms, lowering it and entwining it with Finn's left one before they kissed again… it was a much gentler one this time as both were feeling exhaustion set back in.

They closed their eyes afterwards, settling into sleep… and feeling much better.

At the pay per view, Amanda had that feeling and moved from where she was stood.

"Stop! Stop!" Amanda yelled, getting in between Seth and the barricade Seth was about to slam Finn into. Her sixth sense was going off, her instinct to protect Finn was in full force.

Seth let go of Finn as his eyes locked onto the 5'1" brunette in front of him… but Amanda was in an aggressive stance, ready to strike if Seth lashed out.

Seth backed off, turning back to Finn, who grabbed him and tossed him back into the ring before running in himself and climbing onto the turnbuckle, jumping off and slamming both feet into Seth's ribcage before pinning him.

Finn was handed the title and rushed out of the ring to hug Amanda, lifting the tiny diva off her feet and spinning her around as they hugged, Finn lightly stroking Amanda's hair and kissing her on the corner of her mouth.

And immediately, it caught John's attention in the backstage area…

Present time…

No response… and Amanda wasn't sure whether to be confused or angry that John wouldn't talk to her about what had happened.

The 2018 Superstar Shakeup was in a few hours and looking at his girlfriend, Finn could tell that Amanda was blindsided… but that it was more how she found out about John and Nikki breaking up than the breakup itself.

Lying back down, Finn pulled Amanda into his arms and she rested her head on his left shoulder… he knew she was kicking herself for not seeing the signs sooner.

"He needs to get her back… and straighten his priorities out. When they were wheeling her into the OR after she had injured her neck, he said "I'm gonna marry you someday, Nikki."... I just don't get why he proposed if he never wanted to marry her." Amanda said quietly as Finn ran the fingers on his right hand through her bluish black hair before he brushed her tears away. "I don't even know why I'm crying about this…" She responded.

"Your brother just ended a relationship you thought he was fully committed to… and didn't even tell you, you're reacting normally because you thought things were okay with them." Finn replied before he kissed Amanda on her forehead and lightly rubbed his right hand up and down her back.

Her phone chimed and Amanda picked it up, seeing a text from a familiar number.

'Hey… heard the news, hoping that they fix things, kiddo.'

'I hope so too… thanks.' Amanda responded before setting the phone down.

It had been a little over 4 years since she heard anything from him… and she wondered what he was doing in the Hartford area to begin with.
