Amanda opened her eyes again in the ER, finding her ankle stitched and bandaged and Finn nearby before he kissed her on her forehead.
"You'll be okay… nothing broken or torn, just needed stitches." Finn responded.
"Damn Rollins…" Amanda muttered, seeing Finn's bruised and scraped knuckles. "Looks like you got to him before I did."
"If he isn't hurting now he will be next week." Finn replied.
"They're going after him, right? I know that-" Amanda responded before she was hugged tightly by Sami. "Sami… quit squeezing me!" She managed to say, Sami letting go before John carefully hugged Amanda.
"You're thinking of something, aren't you?" John asked as they let go.
"There's been talk of a Draft Lottery sometime next year… I'm hoping if it's true that Seth ends up on one roster and Finn and I end up on the other. The fighting would stop then." Amanda explained after she and Aestrid hugged.
"That's if Seth will be able to walk after next week." Sami responded.
"That's true." Amanda replied, wanting to stand up.
"Seth is screwed." Aestrid responded as Finn stopped Amanda.
It was when she was released from the hospital at 4 in the morning that Amanda had fallen asleep in the car with Finn driving and Sami and Aestrid in the backseat, Sami texting Dakota.
'Out of the hospital, nothing's broken but she's gonna be sore for a few weeks.'
'She's asleep, that's why you're texting, right?' Dakota replied.
'Yes, medication made her sleepy. Hey, you feeling alright?' Sami responded.
'Bryan thinks I got a concussion, from when Seth smashed my head into the driver side window.' Dakota texted.
'Bryan's waking you up every half hour or so to make sure you're still alert?' Sami responded, having had to do that with Amanda before.
'I'm not even sleeping, my head is throbbing.' Dakota texted.
'Mandy usually uses bubble baths to soothe her head when it hurts.' Sami replied.
'I'll try.' Dakota responded before setting her phone down and pulling her hair into a messy bun, standing up.
"You okay, cousin?" Bryan asked sleepily.
"Yeah. Just gonna take a hot bath to try to help with this headache. Go back to sleep, Bryan." Dakota answered quietly so as not to wake Luke, Dakota heading into the bathroom.
Once at the hotel and in their room, Finn set Amanda on the bed and lightly shook her to wake her despite not wanting to.
"No." Amanda mumbled, burying her head into a pillow and Finn rubbing his right hand up and down her back as Sami closed and locked the door.
"I know you don't want to get back up but you've got to get more comfortable, lass." Finn responded, Amanda letting him help her up. Amanda nodded and headed into the bathroom with an oversized Balor Club shirt in hand before returning dressed in it with her face makeup free.
Once she and Finn were settled into bed, Sami got into his own and fell asleep as Aestrid went to her own room… when it was daylight, Sami went to go check on Dakota.
"Still asleep?" Dakota asked.
"Out like lights, both of them." Sami answered.
"I wonder if Bryan still got his kick ass painkillers." Dakota responded before grabbing Bryan's suitcase.
She looked but couldn't find them and zipped the suitcase.
"Mandy use any pain meds at all?" Dakota asked.
"Aleve or Advil. Nothing stronger than that… she's never told you why that is, has she?" Sami replied as they sat down. "Mandy had three seizures last year… we're pretty sure it was the Excedrin that triggered them, she took one that day because of a migraine." He explained, Dakota closing her eyes for a few seconds in shock, before slowly opening them again.
"When Bryan damaged his shoulder, he had one from the painkillers he was on. It was basically the scariest thing that's I've seen." Dakota replied.
"It is scary, especially when it's a loved one… the thing is, Seth found Mandy during the first one and saved her life." Sami responded.
"He saved her life? Then why is he acting like she's the enemy?" Dakota asked.
"It's not so much her that he's angry at, it's Finn. He feels like Finn stole her from him." Sami answered.
"He's always hated Finn hasn't he?" Dakota asked.
"Somewhere along those lines." Sami replied.
Amanda opened her hazel eyes and saw a cup of coffee next to her before seeing Finn.
"Two sugars, caramel creamer?" Amanda asked as Finn helped her sit up and put the cup in her hands.
"Your favorite kind. And I figured you needed some caffeine before the show tonight." Finn responded as Amanda drank the coffee.
"Anything from Kota yet?" Amanda asked.
"She's got a throbbing head, Sami told me that." Finn said.
"Concussions will do that to people… damn Seth." Amanda responded, muttering the last part as she set the empty cup down and tried to move her left ankle but Finn stopped her.
"He'll get what's coming to him but you can't walk with that bad ankle." Finn responded.
"Tá sé seo messed suas! Nuair a bhfaighidh mé mo lámha ar Seth, beidh mé ag iarraidh dúnmharú air!" Amanda muttered, Finn's eyes widening slightly.
"I understood every word of that, young lady!" Finn responded.
"Céard faoi seo, a fhaigheann tú féin agus mé beagán dona ina ionad?" Amanda asked, Finn's face turning a light red.
"Fuck, don't sass me like that." Finn responded once he regained control of his voice.
"Dude what did she say to him?" Luke asked, both him and Bryan having their ears pressed against the wall.
"I don't know, I speak Greek you idiot." Bryan snapped.
"Dannazione." Luke growled.
"If she speaks in French, then we can find Kota." Bryan replied.
"Dude, Kota only knows basic French she's not gonna be much help." Luke said.
"Wait Finn is Irish isn't he?" Bryan asked.
"Yeah why?" Luke responded.
"Duh you idiot, she's speaking Irish." Bryan said.
"Hm… I got an idea and it's a pretty stupid one." Luke replied.
"Oh come on Luke, I've heard worse." Bryan responded.
"Well we need to get a voice recording of what Amanda says in Irish." Luke explained.
"Man that is one stupid idea. How are we going to do it?" Bryan responded.
"Simple, one of us puts our phone down at the bottom of their door, the other keeps watch." Luke said.
"I'll keep watch." Bryan responded.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever." Luke said.
"Wait, what happens if they open the door?" Bryan asked.
"One runs one way the other runs the other way. Whoever they catch first, too bad." Luke answered.
"Or the smarter idea would be bolt back into here and lock the door." Bryan replied.
"Oh yeah, that works as well." Luke said before the two left and walked to Finn and Amanda's door.
While Luke pulled out his phone and activated the voice recorder, Bryan paced around the area making sure no one showed up.
After recording for a few minutes, the door opened and Finn and Amanda stood in the doorway, Luke chuckling, nervously.
"Um… Bryan… run!" Luke said, yelling the last part before the two bolted back into their room, slamming and locking the door.
"The hell is it with them?" Amanda muttered as Finn helped her sit down to take the weight off of her ankle.
"Who knows? I'll text Kota and see if she can come up here." Finn responded before texting Dakota.
'Hey can you come up here? Your cousins are up to no good again.'
'Oh for the love of all things sane! I'll be up as soon as I'm done with this smoke.' Dakota texted back.
"Fucking hell." Dakota muttered before taking another drag of her cigarette.
"What's wrong?" Sami asked.
"My cousins are up to no good again." Dakota responded before taking one last drag and putting the cigarette out. She started to walking away when Sami grabbed her shoulder and spun her back around.
"Hand it over." Sami said, holding his hand out, Dakota putting the packet of cigarettes into his palm. "And the lighter as well, I'm not having a repeat of last time."
"God I hate you." Dakota said, rolling her eyes a little before handing the lighter over to Sami.
"No you don't, Kota. But what did your cousins do?" Sami responded, putting the packet and lighter into his pocket.
"That's what I'm gonna go find out." Dakota replied before heading back in and eventually reaching the room, Finn letting her into it and closing the door. "What were they doing?"
"Eavesdropping, basically. I was talking in Irish, got a bit… naughty with that." Amanda answered, Dakota trying not to laugh.
"Oh man they probably wanted to translate what you were saying." Dakota said.
"And they're lucky I can't run now." Amanda responded as Dakota clamped her hand over her mouth, trying to prevent her laughter. "Ha, funny." She muttered sarcastically, Dakota carefully hugging her.
"No it's not that, I just can see the looks on their face when they translate what you said." Dakota said.
In their hiding spot, which was the stairwell, Luke and Bryan decided to cautiously look into the hallway.
"I don't see them…" Luke whispered.
"Good let's go." Bryan said.
Quietly, they snuck into the hallway and to their room… when they got into it and closed the door, their eyes widened.
"Kota…" Luke replied nervously.
"Well, well, well, look who is back." Dakota said. "Did you boys not learn from what you two did with me and Sami?"
"Look, we just wanted to know what she was saying." Bryan explained.
"And remember what happened last time? You two idiots tried to bang down Sami's door." Dakota said.
"So how do we… go about apologizing to them?" Luke replied.
"Nah I thought a death match would be more appropriate." Dakota said.
"Are you nuts?!" Bryan responded, Dakota laughing.
"Like I said, idiots." Dakota said. "I thought you have more brains than that Bryan, considering the fact you are the only one, out of us three, that completed high school."
At the same time, Seth was in the lobby and hoping that he could fix things.
But when he saw the angry glare from Aestrid, he had a feeling that this would take a whole lot of effort.
