Gregory stands on the stage for Raw and smiles. "I'm back bitches." He says. He heads backstage and Violet wraps her arms around him. "Nervous?" She asks. "Nope. I'm excited." She chuckles and they head to catering. Anita was sitting there with Fergal, Ashford, and Melanie. "Uncle Greggy!" Melanie said, running from her father. Gregory squats down and scoops her up. "Hi, Melly Belly. Are you excited?" He asks her. "Yep. Miss Kasey said we could sit in the first row and watch the whole show." She said. "Awesome. Make sure to cheer extra loud for your favorites." Gregory told her. "I will!" She said. Ashford laughs.
"We all know who her real favorite is." He said. "No kidding." Violet agrees. "What? I don't have to be the bad guy unless necessary. That's dad's job." Gregory said. "Yep." Melanie said. They all head to the monitor room. Gregory played with Melanie until it was time for his return. He was going to go out and help Ashford after Ashford's match. He was supposed to get attacked after winning his match against Scott Dawson. Gregory pulled on his mask. Gregory watched Ashford's match with excitement. Then it was time for him to come out.
The entire arena erupted in to cheers as Gregory threw Dawson and Wilder out of the ring. He stood over Ashford with a protective stance. "You want him, come through me." He said. The guys came backstage and Violet grabbed Gregory. "Easy, love." He said with a laugh. "I'm just so happy. Let's let WWE post your return picture." She said. He nods and follows Violet.
Gregory and Violet then head back to the hotel. Gregory takes a shower and Violet lays down on the bed. When he comes out of the bathroom and sees Violet asleep on the bed. He smiles and scoots her over so he could climb in beside her. "Good night, love." He said, turning off the light.
*The Next Morning*
Gregory woke up before Violet and went down to the gym. Violet woke up an hour later to no Gregory. She throws on an outfit and runs to Ashford's room. She knocks frantically. Ashford opens up to see a frantic Violet. "What's wrong?" He asks. "Do you know where Gregory is?" She asks. "Probably the gym. Violet, he's fine. Come on, I'll show you." He said, leading Violet to the gym. Gregory was there working out.
"Whoa." Violet said. "I know." Gregory looked over and saw the two standing there. "Like the show?" He asked, hopping down. "She woke up freaked out." Ashford said. Violet nudges Ashford and walks over to Gregory. "It just freaked me out is all." She said. Gregory laughs and wraps Violet in his arms. They head back upstairs to the room so Gregory could shower. He changed into a long sleeve shirt, a vest, jeans, boots and a jacket.
Violet smiled when he came out of the bathroom. "You look handsome."
"I try. Care to tell me why you woke up scared about me being gone?" He asked, sitting next to her on the bed. "I don't know. The last few months felt like a fairytale and for some reason this morning, when I woke up, it felt like a nightmare. It felt like I was living a dream that you were here, when you were really dead." She said. "Cryptic. Morbidly cryptic. I thought that was me?" Gregory said. "Be serious for a second, Gregory. I thought you died. I thought you were dead and had been for months." Violet said. "Do I look dead? No. I'm as alive as you are. Latica can't kill me. Her sole obsession is me. If I died, she'd be so devastated that she'd probably would have committed suicide finding out she killed me. Violet, you have nothing to worry about. I'm alive, I'm right next to you, and I'm not going anywhere." Gregory said, kissing Violet's head. "Wanna go to London with me? I'm going home for a few days." Gregory said. "I'd love to, but Seth and I are going home too. You could come home with this time. I promise no psycho ex-boyfriends." She said. "Sounds like fun. I'll go, but I'm not staying with your parents." Gregory said. Violet nods and they pack up. Seth meets them outside the door. "You gonna survive a few days without him?" He asks. "No. He's coming with us." She said. "Oh really?" Gregory shrugs and nods. "Think Dad will like it?" Seth asks. "I'll have a place to stay somewhere." Gregory said. "You can stay at my place. I've got room." Seth said. "See. Told you I'd have somewhere to stay." Gregory tells Violet. They head to the airport. They finally land in Des Moines and Seth gets a rental car for them to travel to Davenport. "2 and a half hours more of traveling." Violet says sarcastically as she puts her suitcase in the trunk. Gregory laughs and slings his bag over his shoulder. "Could be worse. You could be traveling farther." He said. "Bite me." Violet growls. Seth and Gregory climb in the front while Violet lays down in the back. Seth finally pulls up in their parents driveway. "Nervous?" He asks. "No. I could lie and say I came with you." Gregory said. "Ha ha." Violet said before climbing out of the car. Gregory gets Violet's suitcase and backpack from the car. "It's so nice to have my babies home for a few days." Their mom said. "Come inside." Gregory stays by Seth the entire time. "Violet, take your things upstairs. Who's this?" Their mother Patricia asks. "Gregory York, ma'am." Gregory said shaking her hand. "Friend of Seth's?" Gregory nods. "Welcome Gregory." Their dad James said, shaking his hand. "Thank you, sir." Gregory said. "No more formalities. Call us James and Patricia." James said. "Yes sir. My mum told me to always use my manners." Gregory said. "Where you from, son?" James asked. "London, England." Gregory said. "Wow. Far away."
"Yes sir." Gregory chuckles. "Mom, Dad, Gregory is here because Violet invited him. Gregory is Violet's boyfriend." Seth said. Gregory took a deep breath. "Really? Is he staying with her here?" James asked.
"James!"
"Dad!"
"No sir. Seth said I could stay with him. I didn't think you'd be comfortable with a strange man your daughter brought home staying with you." Gregory said. "He's a real gentleman. Why can't we find more like him?" Patricia asked. "Look in England. You'll find us there." Gregory said. They all laughed. "I'm not comfortable with this at all." James said finally. "With what, Dad?" Seth asked. "Your sister bringing her boyfriend home." He said. Gregory put his hands in his lap. "I'm sorry that I barged in. I'll leave if you want me to." Seth put a hand on his shoulder. "You'll do no such thing, Greg. Any man that saves my sister from being killed should be welcome in my parents house. Right, Dad?" Patricia and James look at Gregory. "When did this happen?" James asks. "I'd say almost ten months ago. Right, Gregory?" Seth said. "Yeah. My psycho ex-girlfriend tried to run her over and I just happened to push her out of the way and get ran over myself. I spent a few weeks in hospital before I went back to Atlanta and spent the next six to eight months recuperating. This all happened in London." Gregory said. "Oh my God." Patricia said, coming over to hug Gregory. "Thank you for taking care of our little girl." She told him. "No problem." After the tension left the room, Patricia made dinner. "It was nice to meet you, Gregory." James said. "Likewise, James." Gregory and Colby left for Seth's house. "You lasted longer than I thought you would." Seth said. "I know. I didn't look it, but I was shaking." Gregory said. "Well, you did great and won over my mom. Dad may take some time, but you'll be fine." He said. Gregory nods and they head inside. Seth takes Gregory to a guest room. "See you tomorrow. We'll go to the Crossfit gym I go to." Seth said. Gregory nods and then shuts the door. He changed into sweats and climbs into bed. He sends Violet a goodnight text before falling asleep.
I made up names. I have no idea what their names are in real life.
