OKAY. Next chapter up! I own LENA and her family. NO, no one else! Stop asking silly questions…Humph…Just kidding…Chapter…Huh, I think we're on 10 now! Enjoy :D

When Alex woke up the next morning, he felt sick to his gut. His arm was laying in the spot Lena usually slept, snuggled right beside him. Waking up was like a kick in the gut…and much colder than he expected.

Shivering, he sat up, glancing towards the couch. Lena wasn't there, and the area was a mess. Mike was barely awake himself, rubbing his eyes blearily. Alex frowned.

"Where'd Lena go?" He asked, swallowing the lump in his throat. He didn't think fights felt like this…and they'd barely fought, so much as had a disagreement. He shivered involuntarily, not really wanting to have a full blown out fight.

"Dunno…She woke me about two hours ago, saying Heath and Justin were taking her out for breakfast…She didn't sleep last night." Mike muttered, rolling out of bed. He still felt like shit. He'd have to have Alex drive for him, today…His head hurt like hell. This was like a bad hangover, without the alcohol consumption.

"Say where?" Alex asked, already changing into his clothes for the day, before packing away what was left. Lena's bags were already absent from the room as well.

"No…I was half asleep still, Alex…She could have told me they were going to Mars and I'd have grumbled it off." Mike snapped, fishing through one of his bags for some sort of pain relief for his screaming head. Alex rolled his eyes, sighing and took his own bag and tossed a small bottle of pills at Mike.

"Swallow two of them down, I'm gonna go see if they're just eating here." Alex instructed him, sliding on a pair of shoes, which may or may not have been his. Judging by the way they gripped his feet, they were probably Mike's.

Ignoring that, he found his way down into the mini dining room type thing, looking around for an sign of Justin or Heath at the very least. He caught sight of John and Randy in the corner, hands laced under the table, smirking up at each other every now and again, and hid a smile. He'd had his suspicions…

Finally, his eyes caught sight of Heath's orange hair. Justin was sitting across from him, next to who he guessed was Lena. Her head was down on the table, and she was shaking slightly. Justin's hand was on her back, and Heath had her right hand, patting it comfortingly every now and again. Wade was sitting beside Heath, and he appeared to be doing an awful lot of talking, too low for Alex to hear from where he was standing. He saw Heath's mouth open as well, and bit his another lump in his throat, he came over quietly.

Justin passed him a death glare, and Heath scowled slightly, but he payed no mind to it. Wade completely ignored him, his fingers playing with a stray strand of hair that had fallen his way.

"Lena?" Alex asked her quietly. Lena only raised her left hand in greeting. Heath, unwillingly, murmured an explanation.

"She didn't sleep at all last night…we came and she looked like shit." He mumbled. Alex felt worse now. He cast a glance at Wade and bit down on his lip. Why was Wade here? Heath and Justin were closer to her than Wade was, and here he was, playing with her hair like she was his! It made him angry for a second, before he heard Lena choke on a sob she had been trying to hold back.

Wade petted her head soft, making an almost lulling noise with his tongue, like that of a clicking to a scared horse. Lena shifted under his hand and forced herself to look upwards. Her eyes were red and puffy from crying, and slightly purple from the lack of sleep. She looked like someone had just belted her in both eyes.

Alex glared at Wade, who quickly found a reason to leave.

"I'm gonna get breakfast…"

Alex blinked. They'd been here two hours…Lena spoke quietly.

"They took me to the hospital first…and then Wade showed up and took me to a pharmacy to get something for the blackouts." Lena murmured. Alex blinked. There was no way that had taken two hours, unless she had visited a psych about her issues. In which case, he could understand the length of time. Wade went to sit up, and Lena's hand shot out, locking around his wrist. Wade chuckled lightly and squeezed her hand gently.

"Easy…jus' getting breaky for everyone." he promised her. Justin offered a pad out to Heath, checking he'd gotten his breakfast right, who smiled and nodded. Justin always remembered everything…

Wade took the offered pad, and raised his eyebrows at Alex, who shook his head. He really didn't want to eat right now. He felt too sick to even think about eating.

Wade shrugged and walked off, writing down his own breakfast on the pad, humming again.

Alex sat down beside Heath, who cast him a dirty look and moved over as far as he could. Alex made a face. Lena surely hadn't told them shook his head across the table.

"We heard from the next room. We were visiting Husky and Michael." Justin said quietly. Alex flinched, as Lena wiped her eyes.

"Lena…I'm really sorry…I didn't mean to yell like that." Alex told her quietly. Lena nodded, as if it was alright, and that frustrated him. "Lena, it's not alright!" He growled, and Lena jumped, edging closer to Justin, who calmly put an arm around her fully, glaring at Alex, who reined his temper back in before he spoke again.

"Sorry…Look, I didn't mean any of it. I was just…REALLY upset. And I don't understand it…I've never been jealous, or upset, about anything else before, but…I don't know, that…seeing someone else…that close to you, really pushed me the wrong way…" He said, putting his feelings into the best words he could, which wasn't very well, unfortunately.

Wade came back and sat down on Lena's other side, curiously. He'd heard a growl, but he hadn't thought it would have been from Alex…But Lena was hiding in Justin's shoulder, Heath looked like he had been swallowing mud, and Alex looked a little mad. He tried to work out a way to better the situation.

Lena calmed down enough to stop hiding in Justin's shoulder, and sat back straight, hands shaking a little. Justin frowned. She normally only shook like that before she blacked out completely and had an episode. His eyes flickered to Heath, who in response moved the knives and forks away from Lena.

"It is…alright. I-I deserved it." Lena said quietly. Alex shook his head, unable to believe Lena was actually going to sit there and blame herself. Wade didn't seem to believe it either. His eyes, already fairly big, widened a little, and Heath could almost swear Wade's over-sized ears twitched. Alex sighed, trying to work out what on earth to say next. Lena was blaming herself for HIS over-reacting…not even CLOSE to what he'd been aiming for. Justin frowned.

"Maybe you two need a little while away from each other? Just until you're both calm enough to talk things out properly?" He suggested. Alex flinched. As little as he liked the idea, it wasn't a bad one. Lena was stressed, he was stressed…Stress equalled very bad things.

"We already talked things around, and got Otunga to trade with Lena, and then for Cody to trade with Otunga, so you wouldn't need to put up with his rambling." Heath announced, and Justin glared at him a little, but glanced over at Alex. "That gives you guys 'til the end of the day to try and work things out." Justin said. "We can just call Cody and he'll be ready in a few minutes." he added. Alex sighed.

"Good idea." He mumbled, unwillingly. His eyes found Lena, who was avoiding everyone's gaze. He was glad, now, that he'd reined his temper in…Or more, Lena somehow forced him to pull his temple back in line. He remembered swinging his arm at her…

It was only to stop her, remember? You never hit her. A voice in the back of Alex's mind reminded him. It still stung that he'd thought about it.

Lena nodded meekly. Alex flinched and stood up, going to meet Mike, who had finally staggered his way downstairs. He looked better for some painkillers, though.

"What's wrong?"

"Cody Rhodes is going to travel with us instead of Lena today…Justin and Heath think it's a good idea for the day…Clear out our heads." He said quietly. Mike flinched and touched Alex's shoulder sympathetically. He felt bad for Alex, and even Lena. Fights were pretty scary sometimes…especially the harder ones.

"Come on, buddy, let's get some breakfast and hit the road." Mike said quietly, patting Alex's back soothingly, steering clear of both Lena's table, and Randy and John's table.

A man came over, carefully balancing the four peoples breakfast on his arms. Lena thanked him quietly, while Heath dove right in, eagerly. Lena shook her head in disbelief.

"…Could you possibly eat any faster?" She asked him, raising her eyebrows as she rolled up her pancake and took a small bite out of it. She'd eat, but her stomach didn't like the idea much. Heath grinned at her from across the table, and Justin slid out of his seat to sit by Heath.

"Probably…But I'd make myself sick." He told Lena, who smiled. Wade blinked at the way she was eating her pancakes. Rolled up, with nothing on them. What an odd way to eat pancakes…It was nearly common law that people had maple syrup on their pancakes. He remember briefly being in Canada and shuddered. They had maple syrup with just about everything, from what he saw. He'd even seen some person put maple syrup on meatballs.

Santino had been horrified.

Due to her odd way of eating, Lena was finished before everybody else was even close. Deciding she was thirsty, she stood and fiddled with some change in her pocket.

"Anyone else want a cold drink?" She asked. She'd be piling caffeine into herself all day to stay awake. Heath raised his hand, and Lena grinned. Heath always had some sort of sugar. It explained his hyperactivity most of the time.

"Justin, Wade?" She asked, glad she had plenty of change on her. Justin shrugged, and Lena made his mind for him. Wade nodded and thanked her, and she headed out of the diner type room. She'd seen a vending machine as she found the right room, she happened to have crashed into Randy. She flinched, not for the last time this morning, and lowered her head.

"Sorry, Randy." She said quietly, making to go past him. He stopped her carefully and looked directly into her eyes, as if worried.

"What happened last night? With you and Alex? I heard you guys yelling at each other from down the hall…John practically went out of his mind with worry." Lena flinched. Randy had heard it from down the hall…How many other people had heard them going off at each other? And how had Mike stayed mostly asleep through the whole ordeal?

"We…had a disagreement, which turned into an argument." She said quietly. "I'm travelling with Heath, Justin and Wade today." She finished.

"I know…Cody got traded out and I'm stuck with David…" He told her. Lena made a face at him.

"Sorry." She apologised. Randy shrugged.

"It's alright. I also travel with Santino and Vladimir. They should keep him mostly quiet." Randy said, and Lena giggled. He had a point. David DID need to shut the hell up on occasion. It felt good to laugh, even just a little. Randy grinned back at her, in a way which would have goofy if it weren't for the rest of his features. Lena grinned.

"Thanks, Randy." She said, and he waved her off. On his way out, she couldn't help herself as she turned around, managing a smile. "Hey, should keep the trackies on more often. 'Stead of parading around in just the wrestling trunks." She teased. Randy grinned at her.

"Still smiling…Good to know that even a fight can't bring ya down." He told her, leaving the room, and Lena giggled, getting the groups drinks and coming back, sliding Justin's down the table to him.

"You're smiling? Sheesh…Never thought I'd see one all day!" Justin said, and Lena stuck her tongue out at him, taking a swallow of her Coke. This stuff would be her life nectar for today.

"Blame Randy."

"I think I'll send him roses."

Heath chortled a little, resting his head against the table. Justin laughed and ruffled Heath's orange mop of hair. Heath got so much shit over his hair, but Justin thought it was kinda cute…

Wade stretched, finishing his breakfast off.

"I think we should get on the road, 'fore every man and 'is dog tries leavin'." He announced. Lena nodded in agreement. Her things were already in Heath and Justin's rental van anyway, as were Heath and Justin's, seeing as they'd checked out before taking Lena to the doctor.

"We'll go wait for you to go get your things." Justin said. Heath nodded and bounced out, grabbing his drink on the way.

"No driving for Heath." Justin reminded himself. Wade chuckled a little, and Lena took his drink.

"I'll bring this into the van." She told Wade, who thanked her, jogging up the stairs to go grab his bags, and bid David fair well. Lena waved good-bye to Randy and John, before heading outside where Heath had already claimed shotgun. Justin rolled his eyes a little.

"You wanna have a go at driving, Lena? Fair bit of open road. You can get some practice in that way." He suggested, as Heath unlocked the other doors for them. Lena leaned against the van for a second, nodding after a while.

"Just not at night." She made Justin promise. He nodded and offered her the keys. Heath was in the back faster than you could count to three. Lena was more then a little friendly with the gas whenever she drove. The back was a safer place for him to be if she went around a tree, which, with the way she drove, was more than likely.

Wade showed up, took one look at Heath sitting in the back and rolled his eyes. So Lena was driving…He threw his things over Heath's head, sliding into the seat beside Lena, while Justin and Heath playfully pretended to be adding safety harnesses to their seatbelts.

Lena ignored them, and Wade reminded her patiently where the gears were, and before long, Lena was very cautiously pulling out of the hotel parking lot, and out onto the busy road...

An hour onto the road, and they weren't dead yet. They were going to stop in at the next town and swap over. Lena was getting tired again, and her drink was finished. Wade nearly considered the idea of getting her a candy bar of sorts as well.

"Um…I spy with my little eye…something beginning with…J?" Heath said, looking out the window. Wade thought about it.

"Jabroni?" He teased, glancing towards the back seat, very directly at Heath.

"No. Jerk." Heath muttered, and Wade chuckled, turning back to the front, putting his hand carefully on the wheel. Lena was really half asleep, and he wasn't risking a crash.

"Just another five minutes, okay, Lena?" Justin told her. "Then you and I will trade spots." He promised, patting her shoulder once.

Not long after, they topped up their gas, and Lena and Wade went into the station to pay, Lena pulling her hood up so she wouldn't get recognised. Wade decided that was a pretty good idea. He knew Randy was here, he'd seen his car, but he wasn't certain who else.

Lena grabbed another round of drinks, and Wade grabbed the first sugary type thing he could find, and tossing that down too. They finally got out, and Lena staggered straight into the backseat. Before they were even out of the gas station, Lena had fallen asleep on Wade's shoulder.

Lena was out until the next morning, when she woke up, to find herself lying on an unfamiliar bed, not Wade's shoulder, and Mike's ever familiar voice on the phone with someone. Alex was sitting on the end of her bed, biting his lip a little. She rolled over, pretending to still be asleep, and listened to Mike's call, from his side.

"I don't now. She's been out all night long…Isn't even awake now." Mike said, waiting for a reply for a second, before sighing. "I don't want to wake her up, Justin. She didn't sleep at all the night before last, and she's having some pretty stupid dreams. She asked Alex why he wasn't dancing with polar bears, and me why I was dressed as 'Little Bo Peep'." She could hear Justin chuckling on the other end of the phone, and had to bite down on the covers to stop herself from even letting out a snicker.

She blearily tugged her eyes open and let out a slight yelp of surprise. Where the hell was she? Oh yeah…Hotel room. She hit her forehead on the strange overhang, which had a light under it, and Mike smirked a little.

"I think you woke her up." Mike teased into the other end of the phone. Alex glanced down at her, and offered her a meek smile. Lena couldn't help but smile back. Alex looked so much like a lost puppy when he smiled like that. His face lit up just a little, and he turned back to Mike.

"Okay…We'll kick her butt outta bed, and we'll meet you guys at the arena." Mike promised Justin. "I will…See you guys." He said, hanging up, before grinning. "Your brother says 'get up, you slack gimp'." He told her. Lena lay back down, rubbing her now hurting head for a second.

"I am up…I'm just not out." Lena told him, and Alex smiled again, instead of laughing. He wasn't certain if Lena was alright with him, or where they were grinned.

"So…Me dressed as Bo Peep…How did I look?"

"Fucking awesome, as always." Lena smirked, sitting upwards, and Alex turned away from her for a second, until he felt her hand on his knee. It was comforting for him in a way. Mike grinned widely.

"Of COURSE I did! Because I'm The Miz! And I'm…going to give you two some alone time." Mike said, grabbing hold of their training bags, throwing some training gear for Lena in her bag, and heading out.

Alex and Lena stayed very quite, glancing up at each other every now and again, before Lena's voice broke the silence.

"I'm really sorry." She started, and Alex laughed, leaning back against the wall, glancing over at her, her face now twisted into one of confusion.

"Me too. It wasn't right of me to yell like that, and I'm really sorry for it." He told her. Lena smiled a little, before frowning. What was going to happen now?

"So…what now?" She asked him quietly. Alex bit his lip, unsure. He couldn't exactly forbid her from seeing Wade, but he really didn't want her to see him again. But Wade seemed to have been the root of the problem, and he wasn't sure how to fix it so they were both happy.

"I don't know." Alex admitted, sighing. Lena bit at her lip now, until she forced it to bleed a little. Alex glanced up at the single blood stream making it's way down her chin and smiled. He leaned over and wiped it away with his thumb, pressing a gentle kiss to her lips, the metallic taste of her blood smearing over his lips. Lena returned his kiss, cautiously. She still wasn't sure…The tingle that ran through her was nearly enough to convince her…But tingles didn't solve problems.

Alex pulled back, resting his forehead against hers.

"Doesn't fix the problem though." They mumbled at the same time. Alex breathed laughter out, and Lena let a low chuckle out.

"I can't stop you from being friends with him…" Alex told her, stroking her cheek with his hand softly.

"But you don't want me to.."

"Doesn't matter…Just don't mention him, okay?" Alex told her. Lena nodded. She could keep that promise fairly smiled and rested a kiss to her forehead.

"C'mon…Mike'll be waiting for us." He told her, going to move away. Lena's arms wrapped around his neck loosely, holding him in place for a few more seconds, savouring the scent she'd been deprived of, each feature…He kissed her once more, before she let him go. Lena slid out of bed, still in the clothes she'd fallen asleep in and the two headed out to where Mike was impatiently waiting for them.

Time skipping next chapter. I'm trying to catch up to the current WWE stuff...I've got it all typed up, but actually getting it on the website is a problem.
