Once again, Tori told Dolph everything that happened but this time, she didn't cry.
"I fucking hate them. I wish I had never joined The Shield. My life has been chaos and drama ever since. Worst year of my life."
Dolph said, "C'mon, don't say that. I know you don't really mean it."
"You just wouldn't understand. I would have to tell you my life story for you to understand." She yawned. "We've been talking in this cafe for an hour now. We gotta leave for Raw in San Diego tonight."
"That's where I was headed, babe. I missed my flight."
"Why-"
"Because you needed to talk, that's why. I'll just get on your flight. That way we can be together." Dolph smiled. Tori grinned a little and they left the cafe.
Once the plane landed in San Diego, Dolph allowed Tori to rest in his hotel room since now she didn't have one. Dolph watched her from the balcony as she slept. He had her phone in his hand, deciding on something risky. He pressed the call button and Scott answered on the third ring.
"Hello?"
"This is Dolph, a friend of Tori."
"Where is she right now? Is she okay?"
"She's sleeping, but the past few weeks have been very rough for her. She broke up with Dean, Seth and Roman this morning."
He scoffed, "Well I'm sure she'll go crawling back to those assholes."
"Nah, man. They put her out their home, and out The Shield. She has no clothes, no money, no anything. She told me you were her ex so I called to see if you can help."
Scott sighed. "She told you I am very 'sick' right?"
"Yep."
"At the moment, I may be normal but in an hour, who knows.. I can't be near Tori. I put that girl through so much and she never really deserved it. I love her and I want to help, but I don't want history to repeat itself. The most I could do is send her some money."
"Well she told me how she's suicidal and Tori needs comfort from someone who knows her better. Just in case she thinking about suicide now.."
"I'd be taking a huge risk by coming to see her..."
Later That Night...
Tori got water from catering and headed to the meeting for the Divas. On the way, she saw Roman and Dean.. right by the door.
She said, "Just let me through."
Roman glared, "We need to talk about earlier."
"There's nothing to talk about. What's final is final."
"At least come back to The Shield." Dean chimed in.
"No. I missed out on so many opportunities being apart of that team. Please let me go into my meeting.." Tori got angry quick. "I said get the fuck out my way!"
Everyone stared at Tori when she entered the room. Stephanie said, "Have a seat, you're late."
Tori sat next to her best friend, Taylor. Taylor mumbled, "I want an update on everything after Raw.."
Stephanie said, "First things first, Tori welcome back to WWE."
The Bellas booed. Tori smiled. "I see slut 1 and 2 haven't changed.."
Steph said, "How ironic, because tonight I had Tori versus The Bella Twins as our first diva match of the night."
Naomi said, "Two on One isn't fair."
Tori shrugged, "I don't need fair. Its not like I'm wrestling anyone GOOD, so..."
The other divas giggled when Nikki and her sister left the room.
Tori asked, "Can I be in money in the bank? I still want that title.."
Stephanie suddenly got a devious idea. "Yeah, if you're willing to wrestle your ex-stable mate, Dean Ambrose.."
"I don't care. I just want my title."
The Bellas versus Tori with Taylor
"Special Op" played for Tori even though she was no longer a Shield member. She still had to wear her Shield gear. Taylor walked her down the ramp and watched as she got in the ring.
All the fans cheered for her. "Wel-come back! Wel-come back!"
"You Can Look" blared through the arena and just about everyone booed.
Brie started the match and slapped Tori. Tori punched her and the brunette fell. She scrambled to tag her sister.
Nikki tried to clothesline Tori, who did a backbend and hip tossed Nikki. She ran to the ropes and hit Nikki with a leg drop. Tori grabbed her brown hair and bashed Nikki's head into the mat.
Tori went for a pin. Brie tried to distract the referee, but Taylor pulled her off the apron.
Nikki kicked out. She was about to tag Brie, but no one was there. Tori attacked Nikki with her own rack attack.
1...
2...
3..
Taylor slid in the ring and hugged Tori. They celebrated and Tori got a mic.
"Earlier tonight, as you all saw, Seth Rollins left the Shield. The truth is, Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns, became too much to handle. They hogged up the spotlight and left Seth and I in the shadows. No longer because... I challenge Dean for his spot in the Money In The Bank match. Right now."
"I don't think that was very smart of Tori.." JBL said. "Dean will kill her!"
Special Op played as Roman and Dean made their way through the crowd. Dean chuckled, "I don't fight women, but I'll make an exception for this cheap tramp!"
The crowd booed as the ref signalled for the bell. Dean and Tori tied up and Dean shoved her to the mat. Tori lunged at Dean while he was laughing at her so, they both fell. Tori punched him with all her force and he shoved her away. She was quick, and clotheslined him when he charged at her. He charged at her again, and this time got planted with a hurricanrana. Dean got up and cornered Tori. He pulled at her hair, which earned him a disqualification.
"And your winner, and first female Money In The Bank Finalist, Tori!"
Dean and Roman argued with the ref while Tori and Taylor walked up the ramp. The Authority, including Seth, came out on the ramp.
Hunter said, "A winner is a winner Dean. Must suck to lose to a girl, and your only chance at the championship.."
Tori and Taylor went pass The Authority and into Tori's locker room.
Once they entered, Tori saw Dolph and Scott watching Raw on the TV. "I don't think its good for you to be in a storyline with them, Tori." Scott said.
Dolph said, "Tori, we need to talk. If you want Taylor to leave then-"
"No, she can stay."
Taylor and Tori sat with Dolph and Scott.
Tori said, "Hey. This is Taylor, my sister almost."
Taylor reluctantly said, "Sup." She didn't know why Tori's abusive ex was here.
Dolph said "Scott wants to help you after everything that's happened these last few weeks. He bought you a house in Florida, much better than your condo in New York, and he got your clothes out of storage. And I got you a surprise gift.."
Taylor was still confused, so Dolph and Tori explained everything to her.
Tori asked Dolph, "Could you get some food from catering for me? I'm starving."
"Me too."
"Me three."
"I'm not a butler, but whatever babe. I'll be back shortly. Taylor why don't you come me and let's give them a second.."
Scott asked, "Do you forgive me, for all those years-"
"I will never forgive, I will never forget Scott. Its just the truth. But at the same time, I'm not mad anymore."
"Then you forgive me then, right?"
Tori sighed and paced the room. "You're not seeing the bigger picture. Before the abuse started, before Ryan... I thought we would be together forever. That we would get married, start a family, die together... I guess you weren't the one. Just a Teenage Dream..."
Scott stood up and pulled Tori close. "Its not too late for any that. We can go get married, we can start a family.. We were meant for each other, Tori. I never got over you."
Tori kissed Scott and it ended briefly.
Scott asked, "What did that mean?"
"I wish we could start over again, but we need to move on, Scott. You'll always have a special spot in my heart, but we weren't supposed to be."
"We were... But I fucked up."
"Please don't say that. You had addiction, you're mentally ill. Its no one's fault."
A/N: Should Tori be letting her walls down for Scott? Has he really changed?
