Three weeks ago…
'Of course… where else would they go?' Alexa thought as she walked into the bar, Freaks Come Out At Night by Whodini practically assaulting her ears with how loud it was and Amanda and Finn dancing drunkenly. She hated Amanda, hated Amanda's taste in music and how Amanda, in Alexa's mind, glossed over the truth about her past.
The second she had seen Amanda's Facebook post and found out about Amanda's plans, she wanted to play amateur paparazzi.
It's Like That by Run DMC started blaring and Amanda and Finn started dancing differently, Amanda's back pressed up against Finn's torso and his right arm wrapped around her waist, her hands resting on his arms.
Alexa grabbed her newly bought Samsung galaxy phone and snapped a pic of the two when they were an inch away from each other's mouths and decided to send it to TMZ with the caption 'On Screen Good Girl, Off Screen Tramp!' before uploading it on Twitter with 'Demon King & Demon Mistress After Dark. #What's Going On Behind Closed Doors?'
"You really shouldn't put things like that online." Alexa heard, turning and seeing Dakota.
"What's it to you?!" Alexa seethed.
"Finn and I are close and I know he and Amanda genuinely care about each other and they're not just messing around!" Dakota responded threateningly, Alexa looking and seeing Finn spinning Amanda around to face him as Personal Jesus by Depeche Mode started playing and the next dance became a little more intense as Finn and Amanda were pressed up against each other and he held her left leg up to his right one, his hand gripped under Amanda's thigh gently.
"That look innocent to you?!" Alexa seethed.
"They're adults. They want them time, everyone can piss off." Dakota responded, Alexa ordering a martini on the rocks as Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) by The Eurythmics played.
Amanda and Finn were lost in themselves, lost in the music and enjoying it… until Amanda was hit by a flying beer bottle.
Amanda screamed out in shock as Finn kept his arms around her to keep her from falling and Amanda looked over her right shoulder.
Before she could do anything about what had just happened, her and Finn's eyes widened in shock as they saw Dakota pick Alexa up and bodyslam her through a table.
"Time to go, crazy kids!" Dakota replied, dragging Finn and Amanda out of the nightclub and flagging a taxi down before she put them in it and closed the door… the taxi left and Dakota called Luke for a ride back to the hotel…
Present time…
Seth opened his eyes after hearing the rapid knocks at the door, pulling himself up and walking over… he rested his right hand on the handle, unlocking the door and opening it before seeing Dakota.
"Yeah, go get cleaned up first… tour bus won't be here for another hour or so but they sent me here to check on you." Dakota explained, Seth nodding before he closed the door and headed into the restroom after grabbing some clean clothes.
When Seth reemerged dressed warmly and with what else he needed packed, he saw that the hallway was empty.
'No surprise there. Probably went to go find Sami.' Seth thought before he headed to the elevator… he pressed the button to open the doors, seeing Finn and Amanda.
He looked at the two, who were also dressed warmly and had sunglasses on before deciding to use the second elevator… Finn closed the doors and wrapped his right arm around Amanda's back, Amanda leaning against him.
"This all wouldn't have started if Alexa had just kept her hands off of her phone though I don't know why Seth waited three weeks to confront me. Then it spiraled into him accusing me of putting up the pics of Zahra that got her fired." Amanda responded before they got out of the elevator when it reached the lobby and Finn kissing her on her forehead after they took their sunglasses off.
"Seth was looking for satisfaction for him, trying to get you away from me. And he didn't get what he was looking for, Darlin'… I'm just relieved he didn't put his hands on you but I know what he said to you hurt because you were struggling not to cry last night." Finn replied, him and Amanda holding each other before he let go and went to go get what they needed.
Amanda heard her phone chime and looked at it, seeing a text from Roman.
'I get that you and Seth are angry with each other but all hell broke loose last night and you two need to patch things up.'
'Screw patching things up, not after how he treated me! Last night was the last fucking straw!' Amanda thought after putting her phone back in her trench coat pocket… she didn't want anything to do with Seth right now but now it seemed like Roman was on his side and not hers.
She was angry at Seth for believing Alexa's lies, angry at Alexa for putting last night's chaos into motion and was feeling like Roman was ganging up on her as well… Amanda felt a Styrofoam cup placed into her right hand and looked up, seeing Finn with a coffee cup in his left hand with his right hand on her back as she sipped the green tea and brushed her tears away before she showed him the text from Roman.
"Doesn't even ask what happened, just goes and says to go patch things up." Amanda responded, Finn carefully pulling her into his arms before they saw Dianne and Enzo walk over.
"What happened?" Dianne asked.
"Roman upset her by texting to her that her and Seth should patch things up. Keep in mind that this is after Seth had said that he should've just let Mandy die the first time the seizures happened." Finn explained, Dianne and Enzo turning furious.
When everyone was on the tour bus provided by the company, Roman glanced to the left side of it and a few rows back… he saw Amanda and Finn in a conversation that wasn't loud enough for him or anyone to hear and they were ignoring their surroundings.
"Roman?" Dean replied, Roman turning to him. "What's going on there?" He asked, gesturing towards Finn and Amanda.
"I royally fucked things up… after Seth told me what I'm sure was just his side of last night's argument, I texted Mandy to see if she'd at least attempt to patch things up so the fighting stops. But she didn't respond at all, I think she feels like I'm taking Seth's side in this." Roman explained.
"Well, we should find her later and get her side of the story… you're not the first person to jump the gun, Roman but you and I both know how she is." Dean replied.
At the arena, both walked around and found Amanda by herself… they approached her, Amanda narrowing her eyes at Roman.
"I know you're pissed but-" Roman started to say, cut off by Amanda's hand connecting with his face in a stinging slap and Roman stumbling back a bit as Dean pulled Amanda away from Roman.
"I'm gonna say it simply, you dick! You sided with a man who told me that he wished that I had died last year! So screw you, Roman!" Amanda responded angrily before she stormed off, Roman and Dean looking with each other with widened eyes.
"She's beyond pissed." Dean replied.
"Her temper rivals my wife's but the only time Galina ever got that pissed at me was during the time she was pregnant." Roman responded, Dean glancing at him.
"You don't think that Mandy's pregnant, do you? Because that outburst of anger she directed at you bordered on hormonal… now if you don't mind, I'm gonna go shake some truthful answers out of Seth." Dean replied before he left.
"It did… seem awfully strange, she normally doesn't slap people first." Roman responded quietly as he thought back to earlier and having seen Finn letting Amanda take the seat near the window so she'd be shielded and Finn holding both duffel bags after they stood up.
At the time, he just chalked it up to Finn being protective of the tiny brunette… and now he was starting to wonder if Finn and Amanda had been intimate beyond friendship recently.
