"Why don't you just give the poor girl a break! It's just characters she and Finn play on Tv and even if they are together, what business is it of-" Baron shouts, cut off by Seth punching the self proclaimed lone wolf in the face… and Baron returning the favor with one of his own.
"You overgrown shitbird!" Seth yells, tackling Baron to the floor at the same time that an exhausted Amanda was getting off of the elevator and heading towards the bar, a call from the bartender being the reason why.
"For fuck's sake, stop this fucking second!" Amanda screamed, the young diva running over and trying to pull the two apart… only to receive a strong punch in the face that threw her back first into the bar.
"Damn it…" Baron says, him pulling Seth up and both walking towards Amanda, who backed away.
Amanda's instinct was to grab a Heineken bottle and smash it against the bar, aiming the jagged edges at the Architect and the Lone Wolf, both backing away in shock.
"Keep… your damn hands off me! Both of you!" Amanda hissed angrily, the small brunette dropping the bottle and heading back to the elevator.
Pressing the button that closed the doors, Amanda pressed the button that led to the fifth floor and closed her eyes.
She didn't know who had punched her… and at the moment, she was too angry to think straight and didn't care...
'Damn… why couldn't I have just stayed up in mine and Seth's room?!' Amanda thought, blood trailing from the split in her lower lip as she got off the elevator and headed towards her room. Shaking, she put the keycard in the slot but the door wouldn't open when she pulled on the handle.
"You're a few rooms down the hall, my little..." Amanda heard, causing her to jump out of her skin and spin around… and Finn's blue eyes widened in shock when he saw her bruised right eye and bleeding lip.
"Mandy, what happened?!" Finn asks, his hands immediately on Amanda's shoulders.
They only played the Demon King and Demon Mistress characters on Tv but he cared about her too much and seeing her hurt, it angered him.
"Drunken fistfight between Seth and Baron… fucking idiots." Amanda says, Finn helping her to the room and opening it with the keycard before the two walked in and grabbed her things, leaving Seth's things scattered around.
Heading out, the two reached Finn's room and Finn helped Amanda sit down after putting her things on the floor.
"Damn… whoever punched ya really put a lot of force into it. You're lucky to still be conscious, lass." Finn says, putting some ice in a plastic bag and pressing it to Amanda's bruised face.
"Strong enough to throw me back first into the bar." Amanda says quietly, Finn pulling the back of Amanda's hoodie and cami up and seeing the bruises forming.
"Fucking hell…" Finn mutters under his breath, remembering that the last time he had seen bruises on her back, they had resulted from Kevin Owens's finisher as he noticed Amanda rubbing her right shoulder. "Hold still." He says, his accented voice returning to its gentleness as he unzipped Amanda's hoodie, pulled it off and examined her right shoulder.
There was no bruising… but he could tell that it hurt her. Setting the ice pack off of her face, he decided to bandage it to her shoulder instead and turned the Tv on.
'The things I do to try to help friends.' Amanda thought… and ironically, it was at the same time that the familiar pink dog she grew up watching on Tv said "The things I do for love.", Amanda chuckling at that and letting a small smile out, finding comfort in Finn helping her and in Courage talking.
"Watching this in my younger years, I sometimes got the feeling that it wasn't meant to be watched by anyone under 13." Amanda says.
"Especially with the King Ramses and Freaky Fred episodes." Finn says.
"Oh, King Ramses gave me nightmares as a child." Amanda says, her and Finn laughing.
"Return the slab… or suffer my curse." Finn says, his impersonation of King Ramses making Amanda laugh again.
"What's yer offer?!" Amanda asks, mimicking Eustace and making Finn laugh.
Unwrapping the bandages from her after the next episode started, which in irony was King Ramses Curse, Finn helped Amanda lie down on the bed and pulled the covers over the pajama clad brunette before stretching out next to her.
Long days and nights travelling on the road weren't so crazy with the two helping each other take their minds off things.
