A/N: This chapter ends the story. Sequel on the way as soon as possible.

WWE NXT Taping, 3/16/16, scheduled to air 3/23/16…

Catching him was the easy part… but the way she turned around after a barely audible pain filled groan indicated to him that she had hurt her right side, Finn brushing his left hand against Amanda's ribcage as she looked up at him.

"I'm okay, get back in there and finish that match." Amanda whispered, Finn kissing her on her forehead before running in there and continuing the match with Rich Swann.

But Amanda noticed it, how aggressive Finn got with each move… she noticed his face turn a light red with anger.

Finn had hit the Coup De Grace, which was how he was supposed to finish the match… but he noticed that Amanda was still rubbing her right side and picked Rich up, hitting him with the 1916 DDT, pinning him before Amanda slid into the ring and the two hugged.

"Damn, man, all this over an accident?!" Rich managed to ask after Finn had won the match and the cameras weren't focused on them, him, Finn and Amanda all on their feet and Finn glaring at Swann before looking at Amanda, his glare melting into a concerned look.

"An bhfuil tu ceart go leor?" Finn asked as his hands cupped her face, Amanda nodding as their foreheads were pressed together.

If anything, she was more startled than in pain.

"Ta me ceart go leor." Amanda replied, her hands on his sides before the two hugged.

In the backstage area, Amanda managed to pull her Balor Club tank top off and Finn saw that her right side was bruising. He grabbed a nearby Ziploc bag and opened it, putting some ice in it before zipping it and lightly putting it on her injured ribs.

"Rich is one of our friends… he's not too happy right now." Amanda said.

"It was an accident, yes. But you're hurting… and it angers me when you get hurt, Mandy." Finn responded, his left arm encircled around Amanda's waist to hold her up.

His hand rested on her waistline, the thumb of it lightly stroking her skin.

Amanda rarely saw Finn get so fired up that sometimes she forgot that he had a temper… she knew that he would calm down just as quickly and that gentleness of his would come back.

But only if she was around.

It was early into the next morning when Finn rubbed his sleepy eyes as the morning sun invaded the room, looking to his right and seeing Amanda was still asleep.

Her left arm was curled around her bruised ribs, Finn knowing that she was feeling the full effects of them and her injured shoulder and the pain was threatening to wake her from her sleep.

He lightly brushed her tousled hair from her face and her hazel eyes opened, Amanda smiling when she saw him.

But her attempt to talk was thwarted by her mouth and throat being dry.

"Hang on a second." Finn said, standing up and helping Amanda sit up before propping her injured shoulder against some pillows. He walked to the mini fridge and retrieved a bottle of cold water, opening it and handing it to Amanda, who sipped the water and brought the moisture back to her mouth and throat.

"How in the hell… am I gonna explain this one to my brothers or my parents? They're gonna lose their fucking minds." Amanda muttered after setting the empty water bottle aside.

"Sounds like your overprotective family, you're still the baby to them. They would want you home in Massachusetts so they can keep an eye on you…" Finn replied.

"Habit with them." Amanda responded, attempting to take the ace bandage off of her right shoulder but Finn stopped her and carefully unwrapped it himself. 'As well as most of the company…' She thought as he lightly massaged her right shoulder to take the tension out of it.

The phone chimed and Amanda looked at it after grabbing it, seeing a text from Liv and setting the phone down… the two hadn't spoken since the fight on the tour and the fight had ended with Liv with a fractured jaw.

It was safe to say that Amanda and Enzo hadn't spoken either and probably wouldn't for a while… but right now, Amanda needed to unwind as being all stressed out and tensed up wasn't going to help her sore body heal.

Amanda let Finn help her lie back down on the bed and pull the covers over her, kissing her on the side of her head after propping her injured shoulder up on some pillows.

"Just rest up… I know what'll help ya feel much better." Finn said before the two carefully hugged.

Amanda nuzzled her head into Finn's right shoulder as he lightly stroked her hair… stress faded away whenever the two were around each other.

Present time, Amanda's perspective…

In a perfect world, Finn and I would be together without any drama from anyone… this world is far from perfect but Finn and I are together.

We love each other… things have changed and change is difficult to take at times, even more difficult to understand.

I really don't know where I'd be or what I'd be like had I never met Finn.

Those sleepy blue eyes of his open to greet me and we kiss, despite me not wanting to get him sick with this cold… and I'm sure Y2J will eventually walk in on us.

Finn's perspective…

I love her so damn much… Mandy is everything to me, I can't imagine my life without her in it.

It's hard to believe how much has changed since Summerslam… that morning before the event started out with me waking up next to my best friend and those beautiful hazel eyes greeting me warmly.

By the end of the night, she and I had finally crossed that line we had been wanting to cross for two years.

And I'm damn well glad we did, despite the hate we've gotten for it.

Why shouldn't two people who love each other with all their hearts be together?

"I love you, Amanda Cena." I whisper, Mandy smiling.

"And I love you, Finn Balor." Mandy whispered back before we kiss again.

"Are you two awake?! It sounds like you're about to fuck each other senseless in there!" We hear Jericho call out in a joking tone and let out barely audible laughs.

At the end of the day, I'm glad Mandy and I are together… we love each other.

And nothing's ever gonna change that.
