Getting back to New Jersey, she spotted Phil with a coffee in his hands. He smiled at her and stood.

"Hey kid", he said.

"Hi", she said softly.

"Let's get you home", he said, standing and wrapping his arm around her shoulders.

"You can go ahead and say it. I know you're dying too", she said, watching her feet as he walked them through the airport.

"I'm not", he said.

"Why? You were right", she said, biting her lip to keep from crying.

"I didn't want to be, especially after seeing the way he looks at you", he said.

"Well, it's over, I ended it", she said.

"Can I ask why?", he asked.

"I went out to a club, the girls invited me", she said.

"You? A club?", he chuckled.

"I know, but they kept saying how much fun it would be and that I never go out with them. Anyway, I went and he was there with her.", she said.

Apart of her did feel guilty, because she saw the way Valerie looked at Roman. It was the way she looked at Roman. Her everything.

"I see", he said, nodding.

"I just, I can't keep seeing him in secret. It sucks going out with couples and I see the way they are with each other and we can't be", she said.

He nodded as he continued to listen.

"She has everything. The ring, the kid, and Roman", Amaya said.

She stopped and shed more tears.

"It was stupid of me to think that I could compete with all that. I can't and I was stupid to think that he would leave her for me. I'm nothing, I'm damaged.", she said.

"You are not damaged", Phil said angry.

April use to say the same thing to him and he hated it. This wasn't them, this was their parents talking.

"How do I stop loving him?", she asked.

It broke Phil's heart to hear her cry like this. He pulled her in and squeezed her.

"I wish there was something I could do Smalls, I really do. Its going to take time, but you'll meet someone new, someone who wouldn't hurt you like this.", he said.

"Don't tell my sister", she cried into his shoulder.

"Why do you think I'm here. She thinks I went for coffee, which technically, I sort of did", he said, lifting his cup.

Amaya chuckled and wiped her cheeks.

"It's a good thing you don't have make up on", he said.

She laughed again.

"Let's get you something to eat too", he said.

She nodded and followed him out.

Roman woke up early and got dressed to head to the performance center. Autumn was already up and wiping her eyes.

"Hey babe, good morning", he said, leaning down and kissing the top of her head.

He walked into the kitchen and grabbed the cereal box.

"Hey, I'm going to the performance center to meet a friend. Want to go?", he asked her.

She nodded and smiled. Valerie came around the corner, her arms crossed over her chest.

"She can't, I don't want her going down there", she said stern.

Roman raised a brow.

"Why not? You never had a problem with it before", he said.

"I just don't want her going down there today", she said.

"But I want to go with daddy", Autumn whined.

"You're coming with me sweetheart, then we'll go see grandma", he said, smiling.

Valerie rolled her eyes and shook her head.

"Why do you always make me look like the bad parent with her", Valerie said.

"I don't, she wants to go. You don't give me a good reason why she can't", he said.

He looked at Autumn.

"Go get dressed babe", he said.

She ran to her room. Valerie wanted to yell at him. She didn't want her daughter near a whore. She especially didn't want her daughter to think Amaya was going to be her step mom.

"You woke up on the wrong side of bed this morning", he commented.

Valerie looked at him.

"I was thinking, maybe we could get married after WrestleMania. A small, only family wedding", she said.

He stopped eating his cereal.

"I don't want a big wedding anyway", she said.

"We need to talk about that Val", he said, looking into his bowl.

Autumn came running back into the kitchen with her shoes.

"I'm ready", she said cheerfully.

"Good, daddy is ready too. Have fun and say hi to grandma for me", Valerie said, leaving the kitchen.

She knew what Roman was about to say and she had to find a way to stop him from leaving her.

Getting to the performance center, he looked around for Amaya, but she wasn't here. Going over to the ring where the women were training.

"Hey Charlotte, where's Amaya?", he asked.

"Oh, she left last night", she said.

"I know that, I walked her to her car", Roman said.

"I meant she went home, back to Jersey", she said.

She smiled at Autumn.

"What? Why?", he asked.

Charlotte shrugged.

"She just texted me early this morning and said she wasn't coming in, that she went home. Urgent, she said", Charlotte said.

Roman nodded.

"Can I help you with something?", she asked.

"Oh no, it's for our storyline, but I guess I'll just see her on Saturday", he said.

Charlotte nodded. He pulled his phone out and called Amaya, but she didn't answer. He didn't leave a message this time. He was going to keep calling till she answered.

"Hello", a man answered.

"Phil?", he asked.

"Yeah, what do you want? She's sleeping", he said.

"I just, we planned to meet up to train and I was just worried because she wasn't here", Roman said.

"I think you know why she wasn't there. She told you it was over, so just leave her alone", he said.

"I can't, even if I wanted to. We have a storyline together. I love her, I told her I would give her space", Roman said.

"Roman. Don't do this to her, she's heartbroken as it is. Just leave her be", Phil said, before hanging up on him.

Roman sat down.

"Thanks", Amaya said.

Phil nodded. He sat beside her.

"You'll probably see him on Saturday. What are you going to do?", he asked.

"We have a storyline together, I'll just stick to work. Try to avoid being alone with him", she said.

"That is going to be kind of hard. He did say he would give you space, lets hope he means that", Phil said.

Amaya nodded.

"I should go back home, April is probably wondering where I am", he said.

"Thanks for the breakfast", she said.

He nodded and left her apartment. She laid back down and looked through the photos on her phone. It was all of Roman. She smiled. She found Dean's number and called him.

"Hey kid, how's it hanging?", he answered.

She smiled.

"Just wondering what you're up to", she said.

"Just got out of the gym", he said.

"That reminds me, I've got to go to the gym too", she said.

"The gym? Aren't you in Florida?", he asked.

"I left last night, I guess I was just feeling homesick", she said.

He knew she wouldn't actually tell him about Roman, but he had a feeling this call had to do with him.

"Talk to me kid", he said.

"Would you ever want Nikki to give up John for you?", she asked.

"I want her to give him up now, but I doubt that's ever going to happen", he said.

"So you would settle for being the other man for the rest of your life?", she asked.

"No, sweetheart. I hope I'm not, but if she leaves me no choice, I would just break things off and hopefully find the one who won't make me second choice", he said.

Its what she needed to hear. He was right, if Roman won't make her first choice then she'll find someone who will.

"Sounds like a plan", she said.

"Why did you ask me that?", he asked.

A little bit of him hoped she would tell him.

"Just wondering", she said.

"Okay", he said.

"I'll see you Saturday", she said.

"Saturday", he replied.

Dean called Roman right after he hung up with Amaya.

"Hey", Roman said, answering his phone.

"Amaya called me", he said.

Roman stopped what he was doing and walked out to his parents backyard.

"What did she say?", he asked.

"Asking me if I would ever want Nikki to give up John. Then asked if I would settle for being second choice for the rest of my life", Dean said.

Roman sighed.

"She's not my second choice", Roman said.

"That's not how she feels. She has to hide the way she feels for you. She can't touch or kiss you in public. Only being with each other in private, trust me when I say, it does feel like second place", Dean said.

"I was so close to telling Valerie, ending it", he said.

Dean stayed quiet.

"Autumn walked in and I just couldn't do that in front of her", Roman said.

"But you are going to do it?", Dean asked.

"Like I promised Amaya. After Valentine's day and the Rumble", he said.

He heard Dean groan.

"You've already cheated on her, telling her it's over now won't make it hurt any less", Dean said.

Roman had to agree Dean made a point.

"You don't want to leave Valerie, that's the truth", Dean said.

"I love Amaya, that's the truth", Roman said.

"But you also love Valerie. What you need to really figure out, is who you can't live without. Really think about this, because I won't let you hurt Amaya again", Dean said, before hanging up.

Roman sighed.
