Last night...
The door swung open and she jumped back, Finn fully waking up when he saw that Amanda was in the hallway.
"I'm sorry, I just… I tried two other rooms on the sixth floor, hoping someone would help, and got two doors slammed in my face… there was no talking any sense into Seth." Amanda responded, Finn leading her into the room and seeing a thin trail of blood from her mouth after turning the lamp on.
"Which one hit you directly?" Finn questioned as he pressed a napkin to her mouth, getting Amanda to sit down and lightly brushing Amanda's shoulder length hair back.
"Baron… the arguing kept him up." Amanda explained before they saw a flash of red and blue lights outside. She stood up again, the two ducking to the floor.
"It's okay, they're gone." Finn replied, helping Amanda stand back up to her feet and helping her sit back down before putting his hand on hers and hers to the napkin… before he saw the bruises forming on her arms and upper back. "Hold that there, I'll be right back, love." He responded, kissing Amanda on her forehead before grabbing his room key and ice bucket.
Finn left and found the ice machine, filling the bucket up… he wasn't really all that surprised to find a drunken Tyler Breeze near the machine but the man looked at him with barely hidden anger, which caught him off guard.
"Keep your little tramp from roaming the hall at night! What's wrong, Balor, trouble keeping Mandy in your bed and out of Seth's?!" Tyler sneered.
Finn said no words, balling up his right fist and punching Tyler right in the nose, fed up with Tyler taking rumor and hearsay as truth… Tyler fell to his knees, crying and screaming about how his face was fucked up now.
Summer Rae had ran into the hallway from her and Tyler's room and to her travelling companion, helping him up and glaring at Finn.
"He needs to keep his mouth shut about Mandy… bruised face and broken nose will be the least of his worries if he doesn't, Summer." Finn explained, taking the ice bucket with him before leaving.
He put the key in the door slot and opened the door, Amanda looking up at him… her lip had stopped bleeding but it was swollen badly.
"Tyler Breeze wouldn't keep his mouth shut… I hit him." Finn responded after closing the door, knowing that look in Amanda's eyes. He set the bucket down, put some ice in a Ziploc bag and pressed it to her mouth before taping three ice packs to her bruised body.
The dark haired Irishman could've sworn that Amanda tried to form her mouth into a slight smile at the thought of the Johnny Nitro ripoff on the floor crying like a little bitch… but her mouth hadn't moved.
He was glad that she got no satisfaction out of anyone get hurt… but he could see tears running down her face and took her into his arms as she cried.
At the same time, Seth was in the hotel bar… unable to sleep, he found himself drinking.
Until the glass of whiskey was taken from him and he saw Dianne.
"That's enough of the celebrating for you." Dianne responded angrily.
"Well she shouldn't be lying on her back with her legs spread like eagle wings… but I have a feeling that if it hasn't happened yet, it will soon." Seth responded, his tone cold… and him yelling out and falling after Dianne busted the glass over his head.
"Oh no, did I hit you too hard, Seth freakin Rollins?" Dianne questioned sarcastically, Seth pulling himself up. "You are an absolutely limitless maniac! If you end up killing Mandy, you won't give a fuck! You'll just be happy that she'd be away from people who actually care about her! You lost the right to care when you almost broke her back! And you're gonna keep claiming that Finn will hurt her?!" She yelled, Seth turning livid.
"You're damn right I will! If I have to be the sole voice of harsh truth around here, so be it!" Seth responded, Dianne looking back to the bar.
"Well I've got something to say then." Dianne said in response before she quickly downed Seth's second whiskey shot… then smashed the glass against his forehead. "Tough fucking tits to you!"
Seth fell down again and Dianne left as Seth's vision blurred.
And as he lost consciousness, he swore he heard someone say "How does it feel to be the one hurting for once?" and saw a blurred figure watching him…
Present time…
Amanda slowly opened her eyes, looking around in her exhausted mindset and attempting to stand up but the arms around her instinctively tightened.
"Stay, love…" Finn responded with a sleepy smile, his eyes half open.
'He's not letting me move just yet, doesn't want to get up… eh, what the hell, neither do I.' Amanda thought, stretching back out and Finn resting his left leg over her right one.
She was sore as hell from Seth breaking the wooden chair over her back… but she felt safe in Finn's arms.
And safe wasn't something she felt around Seth in a long time.
