A/N: I only own the OC.
Thank you for continuing to read this story. You guys are amazing.
Finn and I took a cab back to his parents house. They were already home as we walked inside and his father told us good night as they headed to bed. Finn and I were standing in the kitchen when he kissed me softly as I leaned against the counter.
"I have been waiting for the day when I could do that without you getting mad at me for it." he joked and I rolled my eyes.
"I have been waiting for you to stop being a jackass... I guess we both win." I said as he chuckled and kissed me again.
"You know... I still think about the night I got to hold you in my arms as you fell asleep. You looked so peaceful as you slept against me." he said as he stood beside me and I leaned my head on his shoulder.
"That was one of the best night of sleep I have had in a long time." I admitted and he looked at me.
"Yeah?" he asked me and I chuckled.
"Yeah, you have insanely comfortable bed." I said and started laughing as he shook his head.
"Come on, it's after midnight and we have stuff to do tomorrow." he said and I looked at him strange as he lead me to the back set of stairs.
"I have to show off my girlfriend." he said with a chuckle as we went to his bed room. I was surprised that he didn't try again as we laid down, but I was just happy to be in his arms.
A few weeks later...
I sighed as I boarded the plane to go to New Orleans. I was going for the Monday night taping, and we were going to stay a few extra days. I had gotten us a suite at the French Market Inn that was off Jackson Square. Finn had already checked in last night and I would meet him tonight backstage. I knew that he liked it because he said that it was too much when he told me he got there. I had stayed there before and loved it.
I arrived in New Orleans and took a car to the arena. I got backstage and felt nervous. I knew that I would end up seeing Karl, and it had been awhile since we saw each other. Tini was still talking to me frequently, and so was Mom, but not Karl. Tini had told me that he had blamed some of what happened on him, and I knew that I had blamed him much more than I should have for those horrible months.
I walked to Finn's dressing room and knocked. I smirked when Luke looked shocked to see me. He pulled me in for a hug and caused me to drop my bag.
"Shit, sorry, Lee." he said as he picked it up and handed it to me. I took it and hugged him again.
"It's good to see you too, Luke." I said and he smiled at me. He let me into the dressing room and I saw Finn talking to AJ. He immediately left the conversation and walked over to me. He kissed me and when we pulled away they were both looking at us surprised.
"Guys, meet my girlfriend, Leela." he said and they both smirked.
"About damn time." AJ said and I chuckled as the door opened. We turned to see Braun and Karl coming into the room. Braun made a beeline to hug me and Karl turned around to leave. I excused myself after Braun put me down, and walked out to find him. I knew that I had to talk to him. I saw him go around a corner so I followed him. I finally caught up to him and pulled him into an alcove.
"Leela..." he was saying, and I hugged him before he could say anything else.
"We were both fucking idiots... now move on." I said as I pulled away. He chuckled and hugged me again.
"At least tell me you are the reason Finn has been happier now?" he asked me and I nodded.
"Yeah, we talked when I went as his date to the wedding in Ireland." I said and he chuckled.
"Tini will finally stop being mad at me now that we are talking again." he said and I laughed as he took a selfie to post on his IG story so she would see it. We were walking back to the dressing room when we past Dash and Scott. I hadn't seen Dash since he broke my arm and I felt nervous around him when we walked past him.
"No hard feelings, Leela." he said and I couldn't stop Karl in time. He whipped around and punched him right in the mouth. Scott went to intervene but I stopped him.
"He broke my arm when we broke up... so it's up to you if you want to defend him." I said and Scott put his hands up to show no problems as he backed away a few feet. Karl finally got done and we walked back to the dressing room.
"Feel better?" I asked him and he chuckled as we walked inside. Dash had gotten a few hits in on Karl, so he had a swollen eye, and a busted lip. I grabbed a cold water from the small fridge in the room and tossed it to him as they all looked at us.
"I'm gonna go with Leela won?" Luke asked and I smirked.
"Dash didn't." Karl said and Finn 'Too Sweeted' him before pulled me over to him.
We were talking when someone knocked on the door. Luke opened it to find Hunter behind the door. I saw Dash behind him with a smirk and knew what was about to happen.
"Karl, you hit Dash?" he asked him and Karl nodded. Hunter shook his head and ran a hand over his beard.
"Six weeks." he told him and Karl nodded, but I was annoyed. I knew that wasn't fair. He was going to be suspended because Dash was a cry baby.
"So, what's his punishment?" I asked Hunter as I pointed at Dash and he raised an eyebrow at me.
"He was defended himself." Hunter said and I shook my head.
"Tonight maybe, but what about when he attacked a WWE employee a few months ago?" I asked Hunter and he looked at me strange.
"What?" he was asking me when both Dash and Finn realized what I was doing.
"That was private." Dash sneered and Finn tried to step closer, but I stopped him.
"That was at the performance center, asshole." I shot back and Hunter looked surprised that he had missed something.
"Dash, leave... I will contact you after speaking with Leela about what will happen next." Hunter told him and got ready to say something, but Hunter cut him off.
"I will fire you on the spot." Hunter told him and Dash thought twice before saying anything. He glared at me and stomped off.
"You want to share something?" Hunter asked me as he stepped into the room when the door closed.
"As long as you drop Karl's suspension." I said as I crossed my arm and he chuckled.
"I'll drop it to a week." he said and I looked at Karl. He nodded and I motioned for Hunter to sit down. I told Hunter how Dash had cornered me at the performance center and hurt my shoulder. I told him about seeing the trainer for it and he was going to confirm it. They took all these concerns seriously now, and I knew that Dash may very well be fired, but I wasn't going to protect him anymore. He asked me if there were any other things, and Finn chimed in about my broken arm before I could stop him. Hunter gathered information, told us we would be providing statements, and had a car sent for Karl so he could fly back immediately.
"You are a brave person." Karl said and hugged me as he grabbed his things.
"It runs in the family." I said and he chuckled as Luke walked him out. I looked at Finn and he pulled me to him as I started to cry. I hadn't realized that I needed to cry, but I guess I did.
