She sat in her locker room, waiting for his match to be over. The other girls had left as the female matches and segments were over, but as he was in the main event, she still had over an hour to kill before Raw would be over. She played Fruit Ninja on her phone trying to pass the time, but to her luck it died on the day she happened to leave her charger at the hotel.

"Great" she said sarcastically throwing her phone into her bag,

'Well I may as well go to cateering and find a friend to talk to' she thought to herself as she left her locker room trying to find someone.

"Hey what you still doing here, you opened the show?" she asked,

"Waiting for Jeff and Matt, we're on the road together"

"Well do you mind if I wait with you?"

"You're my best friend of course you can" he smiled nudging her shoulder softly,

"Why thank you very much" she laughed,

"So how's things with Seth?"

Her smile weakened a bit, but before she gave too much away she managed to enlarge it, before telling him everything was fine.

"Come on, I know you. You can tell me anything"

"We're okay, really. It's just he's so busy being the champ and all, we barely get time together"

"What about on the road and when you guys get back to the hotel"

"He's so tired that when we get into bed he just wants to go straight to sleep"

"And you want to do more" he teased winking at her which led him to receive a stern face,

"Not like that, I mean it would be nice once in a while, but I just want to be able to talk to him. And yeah we talk in the car but it's straight after the show so all we talk about is our matches and storylines"

"Have you told him this? You should talk to him"

"If we had the time to talk I wouldn't be having an issue"

"Well he needs to make the time for you, I know he's busy but he has to make you a priority"

"I don't know it's just weird. He's been busy his entire career on the main roster, being part of the Shield and all. I don't know why suddenly it's different"

"Well you won't know until you ask him"

"You're right" she sighed,

"Tonight!" the man demanded,

"Yes fine tonight"

"Good" he smiled.

The two carried on talking while waiting for their respective party to be finished. Jeff and Matt's tag team match was finally finished so now only the main event was left. The three guys kindly agreed to wait with the brunette. They spoke about Jeff and Matt's family, the times each of them had on the Indies and other typical conversations.

"Hey sweety you ready to go?" he asked kissing his girlfriends cheek,

"Yes been ready for ages now" she joked,

"Sorry, but I am finally done so let's get out of here"

"Okay, bye guys thanks for waiting with me" she said as she got out of her seat,

"No problem, but remember our conversation" he told her,

"I remember, now bye Finn have a good night" she said as she hugged her best friend,

"You too Bayley" he smiled.

"Bye Matt, bye Jeff see you guys next week" she said as she did the same to them.


"Bayley do you mind driving? I'm exhausted"

"Of course not" she smiled.

"I can't wait to go bed"

"What's new there?" she whispered to herself.

After a 20 minute drive to their hotel they had finally arrived. As usual they spoke about their matches and storylines, Bayley didn't mind that though. She absolutely loved wrestling and she loved that he did just as much as her, but she wanted to talk about other things too once in a while.

She unlocked their hotel door and they let themselves in, he immediately slumped himself down on the bed.

"Can we talk?" she said sitting next to him,

"Can it wait until tomorrow?" he suggested,

"No it can't"

"Then sure, what do you want to talk about?"

"Us"

"Okay. What about us?"

"I don't know, I just feel distant, like we haven't spent much time together these past months"

"I've just had a super busy schedule since becoming the champion"

"You've been busy since you debuted with the Shield, something is different"

"Nothing is different Bayley, I prom..."

"...don't promise when it's not true. Something is different and I want to know what"

"Nothing is different, I'm just busy and tired."

"Too busy and tired for your girlfriend?" she questioned,

"No of course not"

"Well it sure as hell seems that way"

"Bayley I spend any free time I have with you, we are always on the road together, we spend practically every night together, we see each other at work. What else can I do?"

"You can make time for me when doing all those things. We barely talk, like really talk, not just about the WWE. We haven't had sex in over a month, you barely touch me, we haven't gone on a date for god knows how long. We don't even feel like a couple anymore" she said with tears starting to form in her eyes,

"Hey hey hey, don't cry. I'm sorry Bayley I know it's hard on you but it's hard on me too. We will get through this, I will try to make more of an effort"

"Try or will actually do it?"

"Of course I'll do it"

"Good. I love you Seth" she smiled allowing him to wrap his arms around her,

He smiled back and kissed her on the forehead while still embracing her in a hug.

"I know, now let's get some rest" he said leaving her standing there confused as he went into the bathroom to get ready for bed.

She couldn't lie to herself, she was expecting him to make the effort that night. She thought he would try make her stay up all night talking, or have some hot make up sex. Or at the very least she hoped he would say I love you back, any form affection would have been appreciated, besides a lousy kiss on the forehead. 10 minutes had passed and they were both ready for bed, Bayley entered her side of the bed with her back against him, so that he couldn't see the tears rolling down her eyes. She couldn't help but remember a time where they couldn't keep their hands off each other, where they couldn't stop talking in fact it was hard to get them to shut up, where they would just be complete goofballs around each other. She didn't know at what point things started to change or why, maybe as the years in their relationship increased he felt less of a need to make the same effort. Maybe they were in the serious stage of the relationship where they were more boring, maybe she was boring. She didn't know but she fell asleep that night trying to find the answers.


A month had passed since Bayley had tried to talk to Seth about their relationship. He spoke to her more often, he now gave her at least 5 minutes before falling asleep luckily for her. She also managed to get some action in which she had no complaints, he was always good in that department. But she was hoping for more than just twice in the entire month, but it was better than nothing at least.

"So things still not good?" Finn asked as he sat next to his best friend,

"How could you tell?" she asked sarcastically,

"Because you look miserable even though you just earned yourself a title opportunity, and the Evolution paperview is coming up, you always love when a women's 'first ever' is happening"

"I do, and I am happy about both of those things. I dunno it's just things haven't improved much"

"Still not getting laid?"

"Oi" she exclaimed as she slapped his shoulder,

"I'm kidding" he laughed,

"Well I am actually, I got two quickies this month, yippie" she said sarcastically,

"Well if you want I can volunteer my services" he joked,

Bayley smiled as she shook her head at her friends flirty comment.

"One day I may just take you up on that" she joked.

"So how long do you have to wait for Seth?"

"Good news he's not in the main event match"

"That's good, shouldn't be too long then"

"Bad news is he has to come out and save Roman, who is in the main event" she said fake smiling,

"Just come back with me and the guys and wait in my hotel room, when Seth arrives you can go back to your room"

"Thanks, but it's okay I'll wait"

"You have over 90 minutes to wait, and I don't know about you but I'm starving, let's get something to eat on the way. Besides he'll be fine on his own it's only a 10 minute drive"

"Okay fine let's go" Bayley said as she leapt out her seat.


Finn and Bayley walked into his room.

"So any update on your love life?" Bayley questioned as she took a seat on the bed,

"Nope, it's still non existent" he said sitting next to her,

"I'm sure you'll find the right girl soon enough, you're an amazing guy"

"I am not so sure about that"

"You are Finn. You are the most caring, sweet, funny, generous, compassionate and loyal man I know, and you're hot"

"I'm hot?"

"Don't act like you don't know it" she said rolling her eyes,

"Well you're amazing too"

"Now I'm not so sure of that" she mimicked his previous words,

"You are Bayley. You are the most strong, loving, kind, happy, and powerful woman I know, and you're adorable"

"Why thank you" she blushed,

They both smiled appreciating each other's kind words. Finn had always been there for her and always would be, he really was amazing. Their lingering eye contact was lasting too long, but neither dared moved their eyes first. Slowly their face moved closer and closer together until suddenly there was no turning back, their lips were locked together. Finn moved his hands to hold her waist while she grabbed his face, both doing so to close any distance between them. The kiss grew more passionate and as it did so, Bayley had managed to remove his shirt as she laid down allowing Finn to get on top of her. He was just about to start undoing her shirt buttons when a knock on the door immediately stopped the moment, causing them both to jump up.

"It's me Seth open up" he said obviously waiting to collect his girlfriend,

"One second" Finn yelled as he quickly pulled his top back on and Bayley fixed herself up a bit,

"Hey man" Finn said as he opened the door,

"Hey how's it going?" Seth asked as he embraced his friend in a man hug,

"Great, and yourself?" Finn exclaimed,

"Not bad not bad, did you two have fun?"

"Not really we just got a bite to eat" Bayley answered,

"Well do you mind if I take my girlfriend, I didn't have a match tonight so for once after Raw I'm not tired" Seth smiled pulling Bayley into him for a kiss,

"Of course, she's all yours" Finn said awkwardly just trying to forget everything that had just happened,

Bayley and Finn glanced at each other awkwardly, both not knowing what just happened. Why the hell did they just kiss? Finn and Bayley were just friends and she had a boyfriend, she felt like a mess and just wanted to get out, so she quickly said good bye and pulled Seth out and into their room.


"Hey baby" Seth said as he pulled Bayley closer to him,

"Hey, how was the segment?"

"No work talk, tonight is just about you and me" he smiled,

Bayley shot a fake smile. This is what she had wanted for so long, but now she couldn't enjoy it because of how guilty she felt. She didn't know if she should tell him or pretend it had never happened. Maybe she should speak to Finn before deciding anything, but she couldn't have sex with him after what had just happened with Finn. She felt too guilty, it felt wrong.

"Hey I know you're not tired but I kinda am can we just go to sle..."

"...no no no no no, you wanted some more quality time and that's what you're gonna get. If not with sex we are going to stay up all night and talk, just like old times" he smiled from ear to ear making Bayley feel worse then she already did,

"We don't have to do that"

"But I want to, so what would you prefer, some sexy time or talk time?" he asked,

"Seth I need to talk to you"

"Oh no not again, I'm trying here babe"

"I know, and I love you for that"

"And I love you, sorry that I don't always show it but I promised I will and that's what I'm doing" he said as he connected his lips with hers,

She felt like it was wrong but she couldn't help but return the kiss, it started to get more passionate, feeling all too familiar with what just happened moments ago.

"Wait Seth I can't do this" she said pushing him off,

"Why what's wrong?" he asked concerned,

"Me and Finn kissed"

His face pulled back a bit and his eyes tightened in shock to what his girlfriend had just said. He was taken a back and with that no words escaped his mouth for a few seconds, but this felt like a lifetime to her.

"What?" he asked puzzled,

"I'm so sorry Seth, it didn't mean anything, it was a mistake"

"Did you sleep together?"

"What, no of course not"

"And if I hadn't have shown up?"

Bayley just stared at him before looking to the ground in shame, she didn't have to speak but he knew the answer. He shook his head and punched the wall making Bayley jump as he did so.

"I'm gonna kill him" he said as he stormed out the room"

"No Seth wait" she cried running after him.

Seth charged to the room and starting banging loudly on the door screaming for Finn to open up.

"Seth stop you're going to wake everyone up" she tried reasoning with him,

"Do you think I give a fuck? You just don't want people to know you're a cheating bitch" he yelled,

"Seth I know you're mad and I'm sorry, but if you think I'm opening the door when you're this angry just so you can try beat the shit out of me then your mistaken, I'm not that stupid. So please just get some sleep and talk about it in the morning once you've calmed down" Finn said through the door,

Seth knew there was no point causing a scene if he couldn't get his hands on Finn so he stormed back to the room, quickly followed by Bayley.

"Seth I'm really so sorry. Things with us have just been so bad, I felt lonely, I felt miserable, I didn't know what I was doing"

"So you cheated on me? How could you do that to me? After all these years we have been together, how could you hurt me like that? he shouted,

"I wasn't thinking straight. And how things had been, it felt like the love you had for me was gone, that you wouldn't even care, how can it hurt you when I was no longer in your heart?"

"Maybe our relationship was starting to crumble but you know I would always love you, no matter what. And after five years of being together you cheating on me is obviously going to hurt me, regardless of my feelings"

"I know but it was a mistake, we can get through this"

"I used to think that, that there's nothing we can't get through. Because even though yes we are starting to fade away from each other, you were still the only girl I wanted to ever be with, but after this. I could never trust you again nor could I forgive you. It's over"

Bayley just felt her heart break into a million pieces.

"Please don't do this" she sobbed falling to her knees in pain,

Seth had to look away, seeing Bayley cry was still the worst thing ever to him. He hated to see her upset even after what just happened, every time she cried it was as if someone was stabbing at his heart. He tried to hold back the tears himself but he couldn't stop a few from escaping. He never wanted this to happen, he really loved Bayley with everything he had. With everything he had forgotten how important she was to him, so maybe this was his karma. Bayley falling for another man, maybe he had led her right into his arms. He wished he was a better boyfriend, maybe if he was, this wouldn't have happened. But even though he had made some mistakes, he would never cheat on her, and to know she was able to do that to him is what hurt more than anything.

"I'm sorry Bayley but it's over" he said about to walk out,

"Where you going?"

"To get another room" he said turning back around to face her,

She looked down crying even more intensely, it hurt him too much to see her like this, even if she deserved it.

"Hey hey hey, please don't cry" he begged going towards her,

She laughed slightly remembering he had said that a month ago, which caused him to smile too.

"So this is it?" she asked,

"Yeah" he said slowly,

"I'm sorry Seth, I never meant to hurt you"

"I know, and I never meant to hurt you. I know I wasn't treating you how you deserved to be treated maybe I got what I deserved"

"You didn't deserve this" she reassured.

He looked up at her and into her brown eyes. He went up to her and grabbed her for one last kiss, connecting their lips one last time. They held each other's face for a minute resting on each other's foreheads. Finally he let go.

"I love you" she smiled,

He smiled back at her,

"I love you too, I always will"

"Good bye Seth"

"Bye Bayley" he said before finally exiting the room leaving her alone but this time she wasn't confused, she knew her and Seth were over. And with that, it meant her heart was completely destroyed.
