I find myself in some deep, dark hallway. I fucked up. I shouldn't have put them in that match. Now they're going to hate me. I slam my hand into the wall. I'm so stupid. I make friends, well sorta, and then I did this. They're going to hate me so much. Now I probably won't have them to Shield me.
*Seth's POV*
Dean and I arrive backstage, pissed as ever. "Where's Mars?" I ask as I approach Roman, who was by the gorilla area waiting for Dean and I.
"I'm not sure. I heard her run around screaming, but then she disappeared. She didn't want anyone to get in her way, so we all cleared the way. She seemed upset." Roman says. "I'm sorry about you guys loosing the titles."
"Its fine." I say.
Dean comes up to us with water. "I'm so pissed right now. How dare Rowan do that!" He yells as he hands me a water.
"I don't care about that right now. We need to find Mars and see if she knows anything about this. Plus, I'm worried that John could be around her. So, I'll catch you guys later." I say as take off running down the halls.
*Mars POV*
I find myself siting on some crate in the dark hallway. I know I have a show to manage, but I just can't do it. I can't handle this stress. I need to give this managing position back to Stephanie and Hunter. I'm just not cut out for this like I thought I was.
"Mars!" I hear someone yell. "Mars, Mars, where are you!?" I hear. It sounds like Seth.
I come out of the dark hallway and Seth runs up to me and hugs me. "I was so worried about you." Seth says. "I couldn't find you anywhere when Dean and I got backstage. What are you doing here?"
I look down at the floor. "I can't do this job. I can't manage this show. I just can't do it. This is too much. It makes me so emotional. I can't separate my personal feelings from business. I feel like I messed up by putting you guys in that match." I say as I put my hand in my pocket so that Seth doesn't see the cuts and swelling from punching the wall.
Seth sighs. "I'd rather you not give up your position as a manager. But if that's what you want to do, then I can't stop you as much as I wish I could. I'm not upset about the titles, you win some and you lose some." He says.
"If you say so." I sigh.
"Come on, lets go talk in your office." Seth says as he tries to grab my hand out of my pocket to lead me.
"I don't need you to lead me to my office." I say as I tuck my hand more in my pocket.
"Okay, but I want to make you feel safe. So hold my hand." Seth says as he grins at me.
I roll my eyes and laugh. "Hold my other hand then." I say.
"Why not that one?" He asks.
Shit. "I don't know. No reason." I say. Wow, totally played that cool.
"What did you do?" He asks. "You're hiding something."
"No I'm not."
"Yes you are."
"Nope. You're wrong."
"Then hold my hand with your right hand that you're awkwardly hiding in your pocket. Nobody just keeps one hand in their pocket like you are." Seth says as he takes my hand out of my pocket. "Holy shit! What did you do?"
I look away from him. "I was mad." I say, quietly.
He looks at me very sternly. "First were getting ice. Then we're going to Stephanie and Hunters office." He says as he leads me to the trainers room.
About 10 minutes later, Seth and I are sitting across from Stephanie and Hunter.
"So what are you two here for?" Hunter asks, getting straight to the point.
"I can't do this. I know being a General Manager is like such a huge honor and I'm so thankful even tho this is only my second week. But, I can't mentally and emotionally do this. It's just so difficult. John is on my mind a lot because he scares me. Then, I'm just so stressed because I guess I just wasn't prepared for this. I thought I was, but I'm not. So I'm sorry, but I'd like to be released from my duties of being a General Manager. Whether that means I'm done with the business or not, I'm just not cut out for this position." I say as I come to the conclusion of what I want to do.
I look over at Seth, who looks upset about my decision, but he still smiles at me. I slightly smile and then turn my attention back to Stephanie and Hunter.
"Well, I'm sorry you didn't like the job position. But, if that's what you want to do, then we can write you off and put you into something else." Hunter says.
I look at Hunter weirdly. "Wait. You'd still let me be in the company?" I ask. "How?"
Stephanie smiles. "Well, we can write you off of being a general manager if you want to by having you interfere in the match between John and Dolph. Then, one of us will come out and fire you from being a general manager. If you agree, there's more we'd want you to do, but I'll only tell you more if you agree to stay in the company and do this." Stephanie says.
I look over at Seth and smile. "Tell me more."..
