Haley sat in the front seat of the rental car that she shared with Layla and Celeste, she was just waking up from a catnap.
"Missing Jess?" Celeste asked as she leant forwards onto the back of Haley's seat.
"Yeah" Haley nodded and wiped the sleep from her eyes.
"Who's she staying with?" Layla asked as she turned right at an intersection.
"My Mum in Tampa. What time is it?" Haley returned as she stretched her arms. Celeste pointed to the glowing numbers on the radio.
"A little after 2am" Layla answered for her. Haley slid back into the seat, getting herself comfortable again then looked to Layla who was concentrating on the road.
"Jon likes me" Haley blurted out. Layla all but slammed on the brakes and both she and Celeste turned to look at her.
"Shield Jon?" Celeste asked while Layla smiled and kept driving.
"Jess told me that Colby, Joe and Jon were talking about him asking me out" Haley explained with a sigh.
"Have you spoken to him about it?" Celeste asked curiously.
"No. He doesn't know that I know, Jess told him that she wouldn't tell me" Haley replied then glanced at Layla who was grinning at the road. "Layla, what?" Haley asked. She knew that look.
"Jon's been ogling you for years. Colby and I talk about it all the time" Layla informed her best friend.
"And you didn't tell me?" Haley questioned.
"It's been quite obvious for a while now, I'm surprised you didn't notice" Layla giggled. If Layla hadn't been driving Haley would've hit her.
"What am I gonna do? It's going to be so awkward when I see him tonight for Elimination Chamber" Haley groaned.
"Talk to him would be my suggestion" Celeste told her as she sat back in the seat. Layla nodded in agreement and Haley just sighed.

Elimination Chamber Backstage (Offscreen)
The girls arrived at the arena around 2pm. They had arrived at the hotel around 4am and gone straight to sleep then gone to the gym for a quick workout before the show.
"Jon, 2 o'clock" Celeste warned as the three members of the Shield headed towards them. Haley couldn't help but stare at Jon as he stared right back at her.
"Hey babe" Colby greeted Layla and gave her a quick kiss.
"Hi" Layla smiled back. Celeste noticed the staring contest going on between Haley and Jon and nudged Haley to get her attention. Haley quickly regained her composure.
"I'm gonna go ditch my bags at the locker room. I'll see you all later" Haley smiled and headed to the locker room.
"Very subtle" Celeste joked as she followed Haley.
"Shut up" Haley nudged her.
"Are you going to talk to him?" Celeste asked. Haley sighed, she knew she had to face him sooner or later.
"I'll have to eventually" she told her friend.

E.C. Backstage (Offscreen) After the Shield's Match
When Jon, Joe and Colby came backstage after their match Colby was instantly met by a hug from his girl.
"Ew" she exclaimed. "You're all sweaty" she told him and wiped his sweat back onto his arm. He smiled and kissed her cheek. Celeste and Trinity who had joined the girls earlier in the night looked at Haley and realised she was staring at Jon again.
"Go talk to him" Trinity told Haley. Haley walked over to Jon.
"Can we talk?" she asked. He nodded and followed her as she walked to the Shield's hideout.
"Everything okay?" he asked nervously, he was pretty damn sure from the way Haley had been staring at him all night that Jess hadn't kept up her end of the deal.
"You tell me? Because according to my daughter, you have feeling for me that you've had for quite some time" Haley said with her arms folded across her chest.
"She told you" Jon sighed and shook his head.
"It's true then?" she asked. Jon didn't answer he just looked her in the eyes.
"Yeah, it's true" he admitted. Haley groaned and turned away from him with her head in her hands, Jon stepped forwards and gently turned her to face him.
"Jon…" she started.
"Haley I care about you. Your strength, your beauty, your passion and your resilience amazes me and I want to prove to you that I can be the type of man you deserve" he could see her hesitation, she only just got out of a bad relationship. "One date is all I'm asking for. Please, have dinner with me" he asked. Her brown eyes were already watery.
"I'm sorry" she breathed as she walked away, his hands slid form her arms as he watched her leave.

To Haley, Layla and Celeste's Hotel Room
"Are you going to tell us what happened?" Layla asked. She hadn't spoken to Colby yet but she assumed what happened between Haley and Jon wasn't good. Haley was curled up on the couch with a pillow on her lap and a block of chocolate in hand, it was also clearly visible that she had been crying recently.
"Did he not like you?" Celeste asked which earned her a glare from Layla.
"No, but that's the problem. He asked me out" Haley replied. Her friends looked at her confused.
"Huh?" Layla asked.
"Layla, he lives in Vegas and he has quite the reputation for being a 'party boy' and I don't want to be another girl he checks off a list" Haley explained.
"What is your gut telling you to do?" Celeste asked. Haley sighed then looked her friends in the eyes.
"The same thing my heart is telling me; to give him a chance to prove himself" Haley replied.

Smackdown Backstage (Offscreen)
Jessica Bautista was partly happy she had the flu and got the opportunity to join her mother for Smackdown. On Monday Jessica's grandmother had picked her up from the school clinic and called Haley to take her, meaning Haley missed Raw day to pick her up. So tonight Jess had decided to explore the backstage area while her mother was getting ready for her match against Kaitlyn. She has just turned to head back to catering when she bumped into one of the superstars, she looked up to see his face and when she did she quickly backed up. She glanced around to see if she could catch the attention of somebody but there was nobody nearby, she was cornered by her mother's ex and she was terrified. Randy looked down at her and smirked.
