The flight to Wisconsin was a quiet one and Haley sat beside Joe. Jon had been quiet and avoided sitting beside her in the car as well as the plane. She knew he was mad and she wanted to make it up to him but she didn't know how to if he was going to act like this.
"I'm guessing you two finally talked?" Joe asked from beside her. Jon had on a set of headphones and Haley could hear his faint snoring.
"More like argued" Haley sighed.
"Don't worry about it babygirl, he'll come around. You just need to give him time" Joe gave her a comforting smile and she forced one back.
"Why is he so mad?" she asked. "I mean, he didn't even want the baby."
"Haley, he wanted you and if you came with a baby then he would deal with it. I'm guessing he didn't tell you what happened while you were gone?" Joe asked. Haley looked at him confused and shook her head.
"What do you mean?" she returned.
"He has too much pride to admit it but Colby and I could hear him crying himself to sleep for the first week and for two weeks after that he kept waking up from nightmares about you. He's shut you out now because he doesn't want to go through that pain again, you really hurt him Haley. You have to understand that he's not gonna trust you so easily this time" Joe explained and tears welled in Haley's eyes. She had no idea what Jon went through, she'd never bothered to ask.
"I never knew" she breathed.
"I know. Look, I can talk to Jon if you want" Joe offered but before he even finished the sentence Haley was shaking her head.
"No. This is something I have to deal with myself" she told him and he nodded.
"Okay, but I'm here for you" he said, putting his arm around her shoulder to comfort her.
When they got to the hotel Jon went straight to his room and slammed the door to let Haley know that she wasn't welcome and Haley looked to Colby and Joe.
"Have my room, I'll room with Layla" Colby said to Haley. It would be easier for him to share a double with Layla then for Haley to sleep on the couch.
"Thanks but I don't want to-"
"You have four choices; sleep on the couch, crash with Joe, crash with me or kick me to my girlfriend's room which is more than okay with me" Colby said to Haley and she sighed.
"Fine" Haley gave in and Colby grinned before walking out of the room with his bags to go to Layla's room down the hall. At least Colby and Layla were happy.
"Night Hales" Joe said and walked into the room to the left of Jon's and Haley was in the room on the other side of Joe's. She sighed and let herself fall on the bed.
"This sucks" she groaned and pulled out her phone to call home.
"Haley?" Donna answered the phone sounding tired.
"Sorry Mum, I forgot it's early" Haley apologised looking to the clock on the side of the bed to see it was just past 3am.
"It's okay sweetie. Is everything okay?"
"Jon's pissed at me and I don't know how to get him back" she sighed and heard footsteps before a knock at the door.
"Keep it down." Haley scoffed, Jon was two doors down and she was talking barely above a whisper.
"Was that him?" Donna asked.
"Yeah, he's finding any excuse to be a jerk" Haley replied.
"Why?"
"Because I didn't tell him about the miscarriage and I left."
"You two remind me of that couple from the TV show you used to watch: One Tree Hill" Donna chuckled.
"Nathan and Haley? But Haley left with Chris, so she left for a guy. I left because I thought he had another girl" Haley said.
"Make him jealous, remind him of the good times, something like that. How did Nathan and Haley get back together?"
"There was a shooting at the school and Nathan ran in to save Haley and they realised they couldn't handle losing each other. That won't happen with Jon and I" Haley told her mother.
"Your brother owns a few guns" Donna added and Haley's eyes widened.
"Hell no" she said a little too loud. "He's not going to threaten Jon" Haley said quieter.
"It's an option" Donna smiled.
"Mum" Haley chuckled.
"Did you want me to wake Jess or your brother?"
"No, I should go to bed" Haley replied.
"Okay, night my girl" Donna said.
"Night" Haley smiled and ended the call. She'd needed to hear her mother's voice, I guess every woman needs her mother. Haley curled up to the pillow and fell asleep.
Raw (Backstage)
Haley walked past Brie and Nikki and went straight to Eva and slapped her in the face.
"You have no idea what you've done" Haley snapped while Eva held her left cheek in shock.
"Bitch" Eva gasped.
"Why don't you go back to hell where you came from" Haley told her then walked away with Brie and Nikki chasing after her.
"What's going on?" Brie asked.
"Nice slap" Nikki commented.
"Jon's furious with me and now he's avoiding me" Haley replied then turned to Nikki. "Thanks" she let her lips curl into a smirk.
"Jon won't talk to you?" Nikki asked.
"Nope" Haley replied.
"That's like Nikki and Jon, they're on a little break" Brie told Haley.
"Why what happened?" she asked.
"He refuses to get married or have kids. He doesn't make any sacrifices and I told him it was unfair and since then I've been at my mother's in San Diego" Nikki explained. Haley shook her head.
"Men" she said. The three walked to the area near the curtain to see who had a match and with who.
"Haley vs AJ w/Tamina?" Brie said confused.
"But Brie's in a feud with her and she's going to be in the championship match at Battleground" Nikki said.
"I was told I'm going to be feuding with AJ as well" Haley told them. "So Brie and I might be teaming up" she smiled at the twins.
"I'm good with that" Brie smiled.
Raw: Dean Ambrose w/The Shield vs Dolph Ziggler w/Kofi & RVD
The match began with back and forth fast-paced action with Dolph eventually getting Dean with the fameasser but Haley and Seth pulled Dolph off from the apron and Kofi and RVD came around the ring to attack the men of the Shield. The ref called for the bell and the DQ win for Ziggler. Triple H came out not too long after and told the referee to get control and restart the match as a six-man tag.
Raw: Shield w/Haley vs Ziggler, RVD and Kofi w/Ricardo Rodriguez
"This match was restarted by the COO Triple H to be a six-man tag after Seth and Haley interfered causing a DQ win for Ziggler but not the championship victory" Michael Cole said on commentary as Haley paced along the apron in her team's corner.
"Well I think the odds are in the Shield's favour, Haley has in-ring experience whereas Ricardo is a ring announcer. Remember last night how Haley eliminated two men in the 11-on-4 match?" JBL smiled.
"That was definitely an exciting match" Michael agreed. The match started and RVD was in the ring with Rollins. RVD gave him a spin kick in the corner but Rollins went after the taped-up arm of Van Dam. Dean tagged in and continued working on the arm but Van Dam knocked Ambrose down and made the tag to Ziggler. A distraction by Rollins during Ziggler's series of elbowdrops led to Ambrose taking control. Roman Reigns came in and toyed with Ziggler, Ziggler made the hot tag to Kofi. Cross-body off the top by Kingston onto Ambrose for a pin, but everyone started interfering. It was back to Kingston and Ambrose and Kingston readied for the Trouble in Paradise. He hit Trouble in Paradise on Reigns, who tried to come in then rolled up Ambrose. As the ref ushered Reigns out of the ring, Rollins came in and stomped on Kingston's head, allowing Ambrose to pick up the pinfall. Haley rolled into the ring and put her fist in with the rest of her team and smiled.
Backstage (Offscreen)
Haley sat down in the locker room and April came in followed by Tamina.
"Hey, you good?" she asked.
"Yeah, just having a fight with Jon" Haley replied.
"Well the entire locker room is going out tonight to a bar, wanna ride with Phil, Celeste and I?" April asked and Haley nodded.
"Sure, thanks" she smiled.
"Now get up so I can kick that butt" April smiled and slapped Haley's butt as she walked to the door. Haley turned and glared at her.
"I'm scripted to win so I'll be kicking your butt" Haley said and walked out the door.
Raw: Haley vs AJ w/Tamina
Haley came through the crowd like her usual Shield entrance but she was on her own.
"On her way to the ring, from Washington D.C. Haley" Lillian smiled. AJ's theme played and Haley sat on the top turnbuckle and waited only to see Tamina following AJ to the ring.
"And her opponent, accompanied by Tamina Snuka. She is the Diva's Champion, AJ Lee" Lillian announced then left the ring. Haley looked between the two women and slid off the top turnbuckle preparing to fight. Tamina and AJ circled around Haley just before the Shield's theme played again and Dean Ambrose came running down to the ring, clearing it of the Champion and her new bodyguard.
"And Dean Ambrose makes the save, he's evening the odds for Haley" JBL called.
"Are you okay?" Dean asked. Haley nodded and he slid out of the ring, standing at ringside opposite Tamina. The bell rang and Haley waited for the Jersey girl to make the first move, AJ moved forwards hoping to get Haley for a test of strength which Haley easily won and shoved AJ to the ropes.
"Really? Really AJ?" Haley asked. AJ gave Haley a drop toe hold and then kneed her in the back of the head, pulling her to the middle of the ring to go for a quick pin but Haley kicked out before two and got to her feet with a kip-up. Haley chick-kicked AJ and then put her in the anaconda vice but AJ kneed her in the head till she released the hold. Haley kicked AJ in the side a few times then ran at the ropes to go for a springboard back-elbow but Tamina held her foot down. Dean ran around the ring and Tamina backed up with her hands in the air.
"Back off" Dean warned. Haley got pulled back to the centre of the ring by her hair then was put in the black widow but dropped AJ on her back and then gave her the Fake-Out for the victory. Jon got into the ring and held his fist out and Haley held hers out too for the usual Shield pose. When they got backstage Jon walked away from Haley immediately and she sighed, knowing that what had just happened was purely for the cameras.
Haley walked into the bar with April, Phil and Celeste and Haley walked straight up to the bar to get a drink, only to see Jon sitting with Cesaro and a blond woman was next to Jon, flirting with him. She fought with every fibre in her body not to walk up to the blond girl and tell her to back off so instead she took a shot of tequila and stayed on the bar stool. About an hour later Layla and the Bellas left her side to dance but she wasn't left alone for long, Cesaro sat down in the stool beside her and Haley looked past him to see the blond all over Jon, but they weren't kissing.
"I'm surprised you haven't punched that skank yet" Cesaro chuckled.
"Jon looks like he's ready to take her to bed" Haley grumbled.
"Part of him is probably waiting for you to smack blondie around" Cesaro said and Haley shivered from the breeze coming through the open doors by the bar.
"You have no idea how much it's taking out of me to be this calm" Haley told him as she took another shot of tequila. She was already pretty out of it.
"Here" Cesaro placed his jacket over her shoulders and she smiled.
"Thanks" she said.
"No problem. You know, I was thinking about what Layla said to me earlier and she's got a great idea" Cesaro smiled. Haley just stared at him.
"What?" she asked.
"Try and make Jon jealous, if we succeed then you know he still loves you. That's part of the reason Colby sent me over here" Cesaro whispered in her ear. She pulled away from him instantly.
"What are you talking about? Are you crazy?" Haley asked. Her speech was slightly slurred from all the alcohol she had consumed.
"I don't have any romantic feelings for you, it's just a test" Cesaro reassured her and she still didn't relax. "Do you want him back or not?" Cesaro asked then rested his arms around her shoulders. Jon looked past the blond that had been buying him drinks all night and saw Cesaro and Haley at the bar, he had his arm around her and she was wearing his jacket. When he saw Cesaro lean in and whisper in her ear, Jon got up and walked over to his friend and Haley, ignoring the blonde that was flirting with him.
"Back off" Jon snapped and Haley nearly fell of her seat. She smelled of alcohol and she was obviously drunk.
"Sorry man, I figured someone should be nice to her and it's not like you two are dating anymore. You've ignored her for the past two days" Cesaro shrugged and Jon threw the first punch. Colby and Joe realised what was going on and ran over to pull Jon off the Swiss superstar.
"Jon, stop. Get Haley back to the hotel and you both need to sleep this off" Colby told him. Joe helped Haley off the chair when Jon nodded and they waved down a taxi to take them back.
When Haley woke up the next morning she was surprised that Jon was next to her, she wasn't surprised about the hangover though. She carefully slid out from under Jon's arm and wiped her eyes before walking to the mini-fridge to grab a bottle of water to counteract the hangover.
"Someone stop me from drinking ever again" Haley grumbled to herself.
"You and me both." Haley spun on her heels and nearly fell on her backside when she almost bumped into Jon. He was so close to her that she could feel his breath on her forehead.
"Jon, did I wake you?" she asked.
"No, yes. Doesn't matter, can you hand me a bottle?" he asked and she did as he asked.
"I'm gonna go get ready for the flight home" she told him and walked to her room.
The flight home was uneventful as Jon once again swapped seats with someone but this time it was Layla.
"Don't worry about it. At least you know that he still loves you" Layla told her.
"I just wish we could go back to the way we were" Haley sighed. When they got off the plane Haley ran to her brother who hugged her.
"Hey baby sis" Dave greeted her then looked up to see Jon. "Gimme a sec" he said then started walking towards the younger man but Haley held his arm, trying to stop him.
"Dave no" Haley pleaded but Dave walked right up to Jon.
"So you think ignoring my sister is gonna be okay with me? You wanna avoid her because you're a scared little bitch? If you love her so damn much you'd forgive her" Dave yelled. The people around then all turned to watch.
"She walked away. Dammit, why doesn't anyone understand that? She hurt me, she left and she didn't tell me that she lost our baby. That's not okay with me" Jon snapped back.
"You should've tried to tell her what happened, tried harder than walking away when I told you to leave. You should've told me where to stick it, you're meant to tell me that you love her too much to stop when I say stop" Dave told him. Jon looked to Haley who was standing behind her brother with sad eyes.
"You're right, but now it's her turn to prove to me how she feels" Jon said then turned to leave.
"I'm not done with you kid" Dave snapped and took a step to grab him but Haley stood in front of him.
"No, stop. Dave just stop" Haley told him. Jon turned and watched Haley stand up to her brother.
"Haley Raye, get out of my way. He can't treat you like you're a piece of trash" Dave said, not taking his eyes off Jon.
"He has a point" Haley said causing Dave to look at her. "I left him. I didn't tell him about the miscarriage. That's my fault, not his" Haley said. Dave grumbled then walked back to the car and Haley grabbed her bags and followed him.
"Haley" Jon called out. She turned. "Thanks for not letting your brother pummel me" he said and Haley nodded and kept walking.
