Once we finally reached our hotel, Emma was wide awake. She and I shared a room tonight, while Roman and Seth were down the hall. Once we got checked in and said our goodnights, she ran into our room and began jumping on her bed. She was jumping around like a thirteen year old girl. I wasn't even aware that she had developed such a crush on Seth, but she definitely had. She went on and on for a good hour about everything that I was there to witness. I smiled and listened to everything, seeing as she listened to everything about Roman with no complaints.
Finally she fell asleep, mid-conversation. In a way, I was grateful for the peace and quiet. I was extremely happy for my best friend, but I didn't want her to get her hopes too high, just in case Seth didn't feel exactly the same way.

The minute Emma woke up, she was talking about Seth again. She was so excited to go to the gym with him today, she was so excited to ride to the arena, and she was so excited to travel with him again tonight. I didn't have the heart to tell her I hadn't asked Roman the plans for tonight. I'm sure he wouldn't care, but it was Seth I was worried about. I had seem Emma in previous relationships, but she was never this crazy about someone, someone she wasn't even dating yet.
"I… haven't exactly asked Roman what tonight's plans are…" I said cautiously.
"Oh it's fine! I just kinda figured…" I could hear her tone flattening, like I had just sucked all the air out of her.
"Em… Do you think you're falling too hard too fast?"
"No.. Okay maybe a little. I don't know, okay?! I really like him. Last night was perfect! He's a gentleman, he's funny, charismatic, adorable, I don't know Aubree, he's just great!"
I was speechless. She really was head over heels for him now. "I'll go talk to Roman now, okay? Just get ready for the gym."
When I got to Roman and Seth's room I could hear music playing, which was a good sign because that meant they were both awake. I knocked and Seth answered quickly.
"Hey! Come on in!" he sounded more cheerful than usual. I walked in and saw Roman standing in a towel.
"Hey handsome," I walked over, giving Roman a kiss and hugging him.
"Well this just got a little weird," Seth said, slowly slipping into the bathroom and shutting the door. I sat back on Roman's bed while he pulled shorts on.
"We need to talk," I whispered to him, hoping Seth wasn't listening through the door. Roman looked concerned. "It's about Emma," I said even softer. His face relaxed and he nodded.
"We'll talk on our way to the gym," he said. Minutes later Emma knocked and Seth answered it again. She bounced her way into the room. Her onscreen character was so similar to her in real life, it was scary. She was so bubbly and happy all the time, it was uplifting to be around her.
"You guys ready to go?" Seth asked us, picking up his water bottle and keys, making his way to the door.
"I think we're going to do a mini pre-workout, if you know what I mean," Roman winked, "we'll catch up with you soon!" Seth got the hint and left with Emma. "So, what did you want to talk about?" he asked sitting next to me when they left.
"Emma is really falling for him," I told him. Then I went on to explain everything about last night and this morning. "Does he feel the same way?"
He chuckled, "Yeah, he really likes her, but wasn't sure if she felt the same."
"THIS IS GREAT!" I yelled. I heard the keycard being slid into the door and immediately got nervous. Seth pushed open the door, covering his eyes with his hands.
"Whatever is great, I don't want to know. I need my phone then I'll leave," Seth fumbled around the room for a minute before he found his phone on the television stand.
"We're dressed man, you can uncover your eyes," Roman told him. Seth sighed a sigh of relief and removed his hand.
"Damn, I didn't realize you couldn't last that long," Seth said, shrugging and turning to leave.
"Shut up Seth. We didn't do anything, we were talking."
"Mhm." Seth said, nodding and leaving. Roman and I stood up, following behind, ready to get in an actual workout.

I got to have a match on SmackDown. This time it was a singles match versus Natalya, with AJ and Tamina at ringside for me, and Naomi and Cameron cheering on Nattie. The match was great back and forth, until Nattie put me in a sharpshooter. Once it was locked in and I was about to tap, Tamina came in and delivered a super-kick to Nattie. Once again, a full out brawl occurred in the ring. Tonight though, the team of Cameron, Naomi, and Natalya were chased out of the ring. I was loving teaming with Tamina and AJ because they were such great mentors and knew so much about the business. They had given me more guidance about how to get the crowd interested in the match and just little things to do that would make the match go more smoothly. Everything they told me made sense and worked in ring, so it was great to just be around them and absorb the knowledge.
After I got backstage, I took a quick shower, then decided to go find Roman. We weren't traveling anywhere tonight, because we were flying back to Orlando in the morning. I wanted to talk about plans for our days off, because we would finally get two whole days off and alone. All I wanted to do was go to Disney, hoping he would want to go too. After ten minutes of searching for him, I couldn't find him anywhere. I called him and it went straight to voicemail. I knew he was done wrestling for the night, so I became worried.
Every time I asked someone if they had seen him, they just shrugged and said not recently. I had gone from worried to annoyed quickly. I knocked on the guy's locker room and was face to face with Ryan for the first time since the huge fight.
"What?" was all he said.
"Um… Is Roman in here?" I tried to cover the shakiness in my voice.
"Nope." The door was slammed in my face.
I continued walking around backstage, checking everywhere. I called, got voicemail. Text him, no reply. I was beyond frustrated at this point. Emma had just finished her segment with Santino and was walking backstage when I grabbed her arm. "Have you seen Roman?" I asked, annoyance filling my voice.
"No, Santino have you?" Santino shook his head no, "Shit, let's go find him," Emma said.
We checked every closet, bathroom, dressing room, office, etc. backstage. "Emma, let's go over there and check it out," I pointed to the section behind the makeup station.
The first thing I saw was bright red hair, obviously being Eva Marie leaning against the wall, then I saw the cameras. I scanned around the room and then I saw it. Roman. Summer. Making out. Touching each other everywhere. Then I saw Nikki nudge Brie and point towards me, smirking. Tears began stinging my eyes. Summer was supposed to be my friend. How could she do that to me? Summer kept fidgeting with Roman's ring gear vest, then I heard her say, "Let's go finish this at the hotel," grabbing his hand and pulling him out of the door they were near, the cameras following them.
"Let's get out of here," Emma said, placing her hand on my back, turning us away from the scene. We walked back to the diva's locker room to retrieve our stuff. Normally we aren't allowed to leave the arena until the taping is over, but I needed to get out of here immediately.
Dad, Emma is driving me to the hotel right now. Think I caught a virus. Puked twice after match. Don't want to get everyone else sick. Sorry. I clicked send on the text to my dad and grabbed my bags and went to the car. We weaved our way in between the rental cars in the parking lot, trying to find our red Ford rental. Roman and Seth were supposed to ride with us, but there was no way in hell I was allowing that to happen now. Emma began driving and I took her phone and text Seth.
Sorry we left the arena already. You and Roman have to find another ride. Was all I sent.
The phone almost instantly had a reply from Seth and all it said was ?
I replied will talk later. And put Emma's phone on do not disturb mode. She knew I was texting him, so it wasn't me being a bitch.
"Do you wanna stop somewhere quickly? I'll run in and get you whatever if you don't feel like going in." Emma asked me. We were passing fast food places, supermarkets, but nothing was appealing to me.
"No, thank you though. You can stop though, if you're hungry," I replied dully, staring out the window. I couldn't get the image out of my head. Why would Summer do that? She was one of my closest friends.
Emma took the next exit and went through a Wendy's drive-thru. She ordered me an order of French fries, even though I said I didn't want anything. We drove back to the hotel in silence.
As soon as we checked in, I got on my laptop, seeing if there were any flights out of Indianapolis to Orlando tonight. Sadly they were all booked. I knew my ticket for tomorrow's plane ride was seated right next to Roman, so I was definitely not going.
"Em! Know what we should do?"
"Hmm?" she was obviously only half paying attention to me.
"We should fly somewhere else. Let's not go back to Orlando tomorrow! Let's go to Vegas… no wait I'm not 21… How about LA? We could search for Bradley Cooper! We could go to Disneyland out there in California! We could go anywhere in the world!"
"Aubree… I know right now you're really upset, but maybe it's not the best idea. Go back to your place, get some rest, talk to him. I know that's not what you wanna hear, but it's for the best."
I heard what she was saying. She was right. I didn't wanna hear that. Why was she telling me to talk it out with him? She was supposed to be on my side. "So, am I getting one ticket or two?" I asked her, already having a flight from Indianapolis to LAX pulled up.
She sighed loudly, "Two."

We landed in Los Angeles at 12:30 and when I turned my phone on it had 27 missed calls and 59 texts. Most of them from Roman, some from my dad. I deleted Roman's texts without reading them, which left 4 texts from my dad. They asked where I was, why I wasn't at the airport, if I was really sick, and if I was okay. I replied back that I was fine and I would talk to him later.
Emma showed me her phone. Seth blew her phone up with questions about where she was and why she didn't meet him at the airport this morning. I didn't want her to ruin a possible relationship with him because of me, so I told her to tell him she was sorry and that she was taking a girl weekend.
We spent our day in LA sight-seeing and shopping. We were spotted by fans a few times, but luckily people were too occupied searching for Miley and Justin Bieber. We strolled up and down the streets, in and out of stores, shopping and gossiping, trying to keep my mind off of Roman. My phone kept vibrating in my pocket, but I didn't even look at it, knowing it was Roman.
Emma and I finally sat down at a restaurant for dinner in the evening. I left my phone away while she played on hers. Her jaw dropped and eyes got big.
"Emma, what is it?"
"Four hours ago Nikki tweeted, karma's a you-know-what ;) xoxo N #totaldivas #itgotreal"
Infuriated I grabbed the phone out of her hands and read the post over and over. I went to Summer's twitter and saw that she retweeted it, then replied. She posted what can I say? I love bad boys ;) #totaldivas.
I felt my throat tightening and my eyes burning again. "Em, can we just leave?" A tear spilled over and ran down my cheek.
"Yeah, come on." We paid the bill and left the restaurant and went back to our hotel.
