"I'm alright, it's not the first time I've gotten hurt." Dianne and Enzo heard, seeing Finn helping Amanda sit down. "And you should get your hand fixed too, you nearly caved his face in."
"You know them, don't you?" Dianne asked.
"Friends and co-workers." Enzo responded, the two seeing the woman who had walked in with Amanda and Finn. "Come on." He said, helping Dianne up and over towards them.
"He damn well deserved it…" Finn said, still holding the washcloth to Amanda's nose though it had stopped bleeding before the two noticed Enzo and Dianne.
"You'd be in every right to take a half year break if this carries on." Dianne said, standing slightly uneven on her balance.
"Or work NXT shows until things get controlled… fuck! Hunter's gonna go insane when he finds out about this." Amanda replied, Finn lightly stroking her hair before Amanda's alarm went off and she took her medicine.
Dianne looked at Enzo, who headed into the hallway and called John.
"Hey, you've seen Mandy anywhere?" John asked after answering the phone call.
"Hospital, bud… you'll go nuts whether we tell you not to or we don't, so quite simply… it was Rollins." Enzo replied.
John hung up and reached the hospital, finding Amanda and the two hugging tightly… and noticing the look on her face.
"There's part of the bone stuck in the cartilage… they're gonna have to remove it surgically." Amanda explained quietly, John lightly kissing her on her forehead as he felt her body starting to tremble.
Back at the arena, Dean had shoved Seth into Hunter's office.
"All yours, boss!" Dean said before closing the door, Hunter standing up and grabbing Seth by the neck of his shirt.
"What the hell is the matter with your head for you to go and damage Mandy's?!" Hunter growled.
"The stupid idiot needs to keep her nose out of business that doesn't concern her! She hates me getting into her relationship so why should she have the right to interfere with mine?!" Seth responded.
"She was helping me!" Both heard, Seth seeing Leighla. "I saw the photos… how could you?" Leighla responded.
"How can you trust her over me, Lei? Whatever photos you're talking about, they're fakes!" Seth replied.
"Fakes?! Zahra just admitted it and you wouldn't have crushed Mandy's nose if they were fakes, she's in surgery, you fuck!" Leighla responded, slapping Seth and then taking her ring off and shoving it at him. "We're through." She said before leaving.
"And Seth? You're being pulled off the events until you take anger management… not my decision entirely, I would've suspended you." Hunter said before Seth stormed out.
He was packing his things up when the locker room door opened and he saw Dianne.
"Who the hell are you?!" Seth snapped at her.
"You and I have a mutual friend." Dianne responded before her right foot shot upwards between Seth's legs, causing him to grunt painfully and double over. "Mind if I come in?" She said, walking past him and leaning against a locker bank, relieving her right foot of some of the weight put onto it.
"Do yourself a favor and run from that pint sized terror!" Seth growled, Dianne punching him.
"Forget running from her, you'll end up running from much more if you don't calm the hell down!" Dianne responded.
"I run from nothing!" Seth shouted before he lunged and shoved Dianne back… only when she fell over the bench, Seth jumped back in fright as her shoe came off but still being shaped like it was filled…
As Dianne shakily stood up, it made sense now… she'd controlled and covered it so well, hardly anyone had ever noticed that her right leg was actually a prosthetic, and right now the foot of it had gotten caught in the bench as she fell and had broken off.
"What the hell happened to your real leg?!" Seth asked.
"A… surfing accident. I fell off the board and got dragged into a cave by the tide, somehow my leg got trapped between some rocks and… the tide moved them and crushed the leg like the bone was made of egg shells. It was too much damage for them to save." Dianne answered, managing to sit on the bench with her broken prosthetic rested on top of her left knee as she removed the clamps holding it onto the actual joint onto where her natural leg ended, barely inches below her knee.
Dianne left and reached the hospital… it was nearly midnight but Amanda wasn't awake yet and Finn was refusing to close his eyes.
"You need your sleep too." Dianne said quietly.
"I'll be okay… where'd that lady who tried to kill me go off to?" Finn responded.
"No idea…" Dianne answered, Amanda stirring around for a few seconds.
Hazel eyes fluttered open, Amanda reaching towards the bandage and Finn stopping her.
"You're still far from healed, Mandy." Dianne said, Amanda noticing through her blurred vision that her leg had a different shape to it than usual, and Dianne noticed where her eyes were too. "Seth pushed me over… maybe concealing a prosthetic leg wasn't actually the best idea when it comes to people unknowingly breaking it, I've had to attach my old one that I had whilst learning to walk again, the other snapped at the ankle."
"About 11 years ago, I had a friend who had a prosthetic leg too… I don't know how he was able to get in that ring and wrestle, it just… there were times I thought he'd get hurt or that an opponent would rip the leg off and toss it into the crowd just to be mean." Amanda said quietly.
"It depends on the style sometimes. How much of the leg is gone, what type of replacement is worn… there's quite a few types actually, not just the normal shaped foot ones and the athletic springblade ones. Different weights, joint sizes, every leg is practically unique." Dianne replied.
"Yes it is." Amanda said, looking outside and seeing frost on the window. "Starts earlier every year." She said quietly.
"Yes it does…" Dianne replied.
It wasn't long before Amanda was asleep again… when she woke up the next morning though and took her meds, Finn noticed that she wouldn't go back to sleep and rested his hand on her right shoulder.
"He was gonna leave me there… nearly killed me and he was just willing to walk away. I just thought Lei was having trust issues with Seth being on the road all the time… how dare he treat her like that?" Amanda said quietly.
"He should've been honest… but sometimes it's hard to be honest with someone you love." Finn responded as he stood up and then climbed under the blankets Amanda was under.
The two stretched out, Amanda's left arm draped over Finn as his right arm wrapped around her back and the fingers on his right hand ran through her hair.
It might've been weird to others but it felt right to them whenever one or both were hurt or scared.
