AJ got out of the cab and walked over, examining the rented 2016 Chevy Equinox that Joe had been driving.

"No damage to it. Let me drive." AJ says, the two getting in and AJ starting up the car.

Driving off, the two reached the hospital and AJ parked the car and shut it off.

"She holding up okay?" Joe asks.

"Not gonna lie, she's really shaken… but it seems like something else is playing on her mind. As we were headed back to Mandy's room, a strange person was leaving." AJ says.

"Short, hoodie hiding most of her?" Joe asks, AJ looking at him.

"You ran into her earlier?" AJ asks.

"Things went south pretty fast." Joe says, AJ letting it drop for now as the two got out.

In the hospital room, Amanda had finally scrubbed her makeup off and was curled up in the bed, Finn holding her as Amanda was having trouble settling back into sleep.

"I don't think she'll come back… I sure as hell hope not." Finn says, Amanda feeling calmed like she usually did when she heard his accent… but something still lingered.

"Why did she seem like… she was afraid we would attack her? I know that look when I see it, I've seen it on my own face whenever I looked in the mirror after something went wrong… she looked like she was afraid of herself." Amanda says.

"Afraid enough that… she turns volatile to everyone else to be in her eyes, safe?" Finn says.

Amanda nodded… and groaned when her phone rang, her seeing it was Dean.

"I'm gonna rip his head off when I get back to the states." Amanda says, Finn answering her phone for her.

"Hey, Dean, we're trying to sleep here." Finn says, Dean nearly dropping his phone.

"I don't doubt it but I heard that familiar breaking sound when I watched the pay per view, how many ribs are damaged?" Dean asks.

"Five." Amanda says, Dean turning angered.

"Where is he?!" Dean asks through gritted teeth, Amanda about to talk… but she noticed the tense look in Finn's eyes and saw Joe and AJ.

"How you… feeling? You look tired." Joe says, Amanda lightly gripping Finn's left arm when he tried to stand up and whispering to him to stay calm.

"I'm not gonna lie, I'm hurt and exhausted… but I've been worse than this. Joe, things get a bit crazy at times." Amanda says.

"You're too tiny for me to be punching and throwing you into the cage like that." Joe says.

"That ain't fair! I've taken worse in that ring and you know damn well that I have!" Amanda says, feeling a bit of offense like she normally did whenever anyone talked about her small frame like she was some fragile china doll and Finn lightly rubbing her shoulders to calm her down.

"I just heard Mandy, did Joe bring up her small frame again?" Karl asks after AJ walked over to him, dragging Joe with him.

"Yep, as usual she hated it." AJ says.

"I fucked up now. Last time I said something like that, I got the silent treatment for a week and a half." Joe says.

"She'll calm down, just give her some time." Karl says.

Outside, Luke was leaning against the building wall, the screams piercing through his brain before he saw Sami's rental car stop and Sami get out of it.

"Luke, how is she?!" Sami asks.

"Sleep deprived, sore and angry. What took you so long, traffic?" Luke says.

"Someone ran me off the road, I hit a guardrail." Sami says, startling Luke.

"Joe was nearly involved in an accident earlier." Luke says, setting Sami off.

"Son of a bitch goes and smashes up Mandy's ribcage and then this?! Oh, I will fucking split his head in two!" Sami yells, heading towards the hospital doors but Luke stopped him. "Let go! He's the reason she was carted out on a stretcher!" He says.

"There's already been enough chaos, just let it go! It will be sorted but not this way!" Luke says.

"I just… I worry too much. When she was on a stretcher last time, it was because her brain went haywire and she was seizing." Sami says.

"We all worry about that kid… I've been there before." Luke says, thinking back.

1/15/07…

"He's gonna flip out! They're gonna try to put him in jail for this!" Amanda says, Luke taking the distraught girl into his arms as she paced back and forth, terrified as the test results were taking forever. "Luke, I don't know what to do… I'm not ready for this. And what if Randy just takes off?" She says as tears trailed down her face.

"You have a strong family even if we are dysfunctional at times… it'll be okay." Luke says as they let go, him brushing Amanda's tears away before she checked the results… and closed her eyes, having seen only one line in the screen.

"I'll double check with a blood test later… but that was close. Thanks for staying here with me, Luke." Amanda says after opening her eyes.

As the two headed further into the building and reached the locker room, both jumped back as John punched Randy.

"You fucking asshole!" John yelled.

"We tried to stop but we were too drunk to think logically!" Randy says as Amanda and Luke ran to them.

"John, calm your ass down!" Amanda says after giving her older brother a forceful shove.

At the same time, Luke dragged Randy into the hall and closed the door.

"She looks like she's been crying, what's wrong?! What happened?!" Randy asks.

"No logical thought is putting it mildly, you didn't use protection with her!" Luke says, Randy turning pale like he was on the verge of freaking out.

"Are you saying she's-" Randy tries to ask.

"No. Test came back negative but don't be a damn idiot next time!" Luke says, Randy nodding.

Once John and Luke left, Randy decided to talk to Amanda. But she flinched when he touched her.

"That was too damn close of a call… scares like that can't happen again, especially when both of us are nowhere near ready for kids." Amanda says.

"What about in 10 years? What would you think then?" Randy asks.

"I'd still be terrified… but I do want kids one day." Amanda says, her fingers on her left hand linking into the ones on his right hand.

Present time…

It was around 11 in the morning when Amanda opened her eyes again and looked around, Finn sitting down on the bed.

"When the hell did I fall asleep?" Amanda asks.

"Five in the morning… halfway through The Runaway Bride episode." Finn says.

"I was hoping I wouldn't miss it again but every time they air it, it's usually when one or both of us are asleep." Amanda says, sitting up and gritting her teeth together when pain jarred through her ribcage, Finn lightly rubbing her right shoulder… and noticing a faint scar on it as both heard snoring.

"Sami, rise and shine, pal!" Finn says, Sami jolting into awareness.

"For fuck's sake… I feel old." Sami says, standing up and him and Amanda hugging.

"I thought you were in Canada. Your arm holding up okay?" Amanda says.

"Yep. Got cleared to wrestle again, kiddo." Sami says as they let go… but even as he saw a smile, he noticed the distant look in her eyes.

"Some strange girl showed up here last night… something's off about her." Amanda says.

"What you thinking?" Sami asks.

"Bipolar disorder… that freaks me out a bit, seen its effects first hand. That scar on my shoulder happened as a result of AJ Lee going off her meds after a bad reaction to them. She took a serrated knife to it." Amanda says.

"It's possible but… I don't know…" Finn says.

"It's scary is what it is." All three heard, looked and saw Karl with his left eye bruising.

"Fuck!" Amanda says, the others knowing that her swearing was a normal reaction to this.

"I tried to stop her from walking into the hospital, she clobbered me with a tire iron." Karl says.

"Disorder or not, I'm gonna kick her ass all the way to Manchester!" Amanda says, ripping the blood pressure cuff off and trying to stand up but Finn and Sami stopped her. "Look at what she did to him, she could've broken his eye socket!" She says angrily, Karl resting his hands on her knees.

At the same time, Heather was outside when she heard Luke on the phone.

"I can't get a flight out now, a friend of mine is hurt and in the hospital." Luke says but his wife Amber was short tempered, having been surrounded by crazy relatives all morning.

"You promised you'd be home, it's barely over a week til Christmas! Why are you putting that scrawny, pint sized bitch over your family?!" Amber screamed, Luke hanging up on her… and noticing Heather.

"Get lost. I ain't in the damn mood to deal with you after you attacked Karl." Luke says.

"Did I say I wanted to attack anyone?" Heather asks, Luke noticing the wristband on Heather's right, a neon light strip around it lit up a pale pink.

"You still hurt him." Luke says, sending a quick text to Amanda that consisted of 'She's out here, stay up there and stay calm.'

'I'm trying to, buddy.' Amanda replied.

"I was scared… and you're making me scared." Heather says, her wristband making a quiet chime as it changed to a similarly pale red.

"She's scared too. And mad and terribly sore, being punched by a 280 pound man will do that. And why the hell is your wristband doing that?" Luke says.

"Let's just say it displays feelings I can't." Heather says as the wristband darkened by a couple of shades to a faded red like that of a raspberry picked too early.

"Like a mood ring…" Luke says, turning nervous and seeing a text from Amanda.

'What's going on out there, Luke?'

Looking up to the fifth floor, Luke saw Amanda looking at them from her room, worry etched in her face.

"Yeah… just records a lot more than blood pressure." Heather says, the shade of red returning lighter again.

"She's… so startlingly pale." Luke says after glancing at Amanda, heading back into the hospital as Heather saw a tired Baron Corbin leaving a nearby coffee shop.

"I seriously hope she's okay… damn crazy bastard." Baron growls, Heather walking to him. "Hi. Are you lost?" He says.

"That's a very big answer." Heather says, her band going to the raspberry red.

"How the hell does it do that?!" Baron asks.

"Honestly, I have no idea. I read how to use it and then threw the booklet in the trash." Heather says.

Baron nodded, finishing his coffee and the band turned to a stormy blue grey.

"Huh… kind of the same shade as Mandy's nail polish… well, the one she wore last week." Baron says.

"Well it means I'm feeling comforted somehow, that's the blue scale. Comfort and relaxation." Heather says.

"So you mean… each color is like a different emotion and the darker it is, the stronger it is?" Baron asks.

"You're about the fastest person to work it out." Heather says.

"Thing is, she only wears the stormy color when she feels kicked down by life." Baron says.

"Ah, that's usually under the greens." Heather says.

"I rarely see her wear green… except around the holidays. Well, I better go check on her. Take care now." Baron says, heading off towards the hospital.

Reaching the room she was in, Baron smiled a bit when he saw that Amanda was awake… but it dropped off when he saw the tired look in her hazel eyes.

"Be careful around her if she's holding a weapon. She whacked Karl with a tire iron." Amanda says, Baron turning confused.

"She did?... She seemed very calm to me just now." Baron says.

"Joe was calm yesterday… before the cage match. Someone's gone and jacked his mind." Amanda says, Baron covering his mouth as he laughed… and stopping when Amanda glared at him.

"Sure. Well… what got me was that she has this wristband which reads her emotions in color and when I walked over to her, it changed to light blue… she said that meant comforted." Baron says.

"When I was half asleep last night, I swore I saw a light purple from under her jacket sleeve… but I thought I was out of it." Amanda says.

"Well thinking about it, purple is between blue and red. Blue means comfort and red I guess, means negative so… those are opposite, if you're comforted you're not angry and the other way too, so I suppose… purple might be feeling neutral, maybe?" Baron says.

"Maybe…" Amanda says, her eyelids feeling heavy. "I hate these damn meds." She mutters, feeling his hand rest on her back before his arm wrapped around her shoulders and she rested her head on his shoulder.

Meanwhile…

"I'm telling you, Mandy's not crazy." Joe says after hearing AJ snicker.

"Mindjacking? Come on, Joe. You and her watch too many horror films." AJ says, absentmindedly rubbing his tired blue eyes.

At the same time, Finn headed back into Amanda's room and saw her asleep.

"No sign of her… which way did you say she was headed?" Finn says, Baron standing up.

"Didn't pay much attention. How's the mind jacking theory going?" Baron says.

"AJ's laughing his ass off about it, Karl and Luke said that Mandy needs to be taken off the Morphine." Finn says, Baron tucking some of Amanda's curls behind her left ear before heading into the hallway.

Being as careful as he could, Finn helped Amanda sit up before stretching out next to her, Amanda muttering incoherently and digging her nails into the palm of her left hand as pain jarred through her ribs and Finn leaning her against him and lightly stroking her hair as she muffled a pain filled cry into his right shoulder.

"It's okay… it's okay, no one's hurting you…" Finn whispered, Amanda's tense body going limp when she heard his voice.

The last time she was this tensed up, it was when Seth was in surgery for his torn ACL, MCL and Meniscus… and Finn remembered how terrified Amanda was.
