ATM: The Bonehead and the Brain – The Black Heart Diaries

After her movie with John Cena and the Rock becomes a Hollywood hit Sasha Banks pitches a web series called the Black Heart Diaries and offers Bayley the lead role based on her diary.

Chapter Twenty Five – The Last Entry

Sasha's bedroom, the Rock's mansion, Hollywood, CA, 7am PST

Bianca Belair came into Sasha's bedroom while the Boss was having a shower and Seth was just waking up. It had been quite an event at the Performance Center but thanks to Beth Hardy, Belair had missed most of it after being Transcended back to Los Angeles with Seth and Roman.

"Hey Seth," Bianca said giving the Prayer Warrior a little shove as he sleepily smiled back from under a sea of light black curls. He reached for her and pulled her towards him so they were eye-to-eye.

"Well isn't this a nice surprise," he said resting on his elbow and he brushed his curly hair out of his face with his free hand before yawning. "I thought you'd be avoiding me after what happened at the Performance Center yesterday. I screwed up big time,"

Bianca looked down before responding. Her version of things being screwed up was way different from Seth's. Things were screwed up way worse than he realised, "Seth there's something I have to tell you. It's about Roman. I found out why he's been acting so weird lately," she said gently twirling her braid.

Seth furrowed his brow and slowly sat upright with his back against the wall, "What's wrong with him?" he said gingerly.

"Don't worry it doesn't have anything to do with cancer, well it sort of does but...okay let me just tell you what he told me," Bianca said and she took a deep breath, "Roman and Sasha slept together in New York the night Chyna Helmsley drowned," she said. "Roman told me he'd been feeling really bad about himself because of the cancer and he felt like less of a man. He really wanted to talk to you about it but you were with that MacKenzie girl from Clearwater and Sasha was the closest he could get to you, so they got real close and she made him feel better about himself. They slept together and then he broke it off and he told Sasha he didn't want to continue seeing her. He told his wife and they had a big fight, he said that she forgave him because of the cancer but he felt terrible so he did everything he could to reassure Galina that there was nothing going on between him and Sasha. He thought the best thing would be for you to date her and that way his wife would have nothing to worry about. He says he was being selfish but he didn't want to lose his marriage and the reason he didn't tell you about the affair was because of what happened with Bayley. It just didn't seem like the right time to tell you he slept with Sasha when Bayley was trying to break you both up, he said he Truly believes you and Sasha belong together and he would hate for you to break up. The last thing he wanted was for me to find out his secret because he knew I would tell you and that means that you and Sasha could possibly break up over what happened in New York. Now that you know Roman's secret the ball is in your court Seth,"

Seth looked a in silence before slowly gazing into space deep in thought. "I'm not gonna break up with Sasha, it happened before we started seeing each other," he said quietly still staring ahead. "Roman's got nothing to worry about, I'm good,"

Bianca got up off the bed and came around to the other side and stood in front of Seth. "Don't lie to me," she said. "You can't be good,"

"I'm not mad okay?" Seth said, "How could I get mad? It happened before we started seeing each other. Roman's my brother and he was hurting, she was there for him, how can I be mad at that?
The only person that should be mad is Galina, Roman cheated on her and that sucks. He didn't cheat on me so when I say I'm good, I mean I don't have any ill will towards Roman about him sleeping with my wife,"

Bianca raised her eyebrow doubting Seth's honesty, "What about Sasha, do you have any ill-will towards her?" she asked.

"It happened before we were together," Seth replied.

"But she slept with a married man, doesn't that make you angry? You're a pro-marriage Christian this should be burning you up inside," Bianca said. "Doesn't this change the way you feel about Sasha?" Bianca softened her tone knowing this was fresh news that Seth probably hadn't digested fully so she took her time and patiently spoke to him, "Would you have even married her if you knew she slept with Roman back in New York?"

Seth went to get out of the bed when he remembered that he was naked and he changed his mind. "I can't answer that question because we are married now," he said.

"Roman said the things you gave him he got from Sasha in one night. That tells me that he misses you Seth, he misses you a lot. Do you think you can put this in perspective and rebuild your friendship with Roman?" Bianca asked and Seth nodded with a smile.

"Absolutely, I love Roman but I can't gloss over the fact that he cheated on his wife just because I love him. I have to speak to him and make sure that his marriage is okay. My marriage is fine," Seth said and Bianca shook her head.

"You can't be serious," she replied incredulous. "Your wife slept with your best friend there's not a man on this planet that could be fine with that, I don't care when it happened. You need to talk to her as soon as she gets out of the shower, then you'll see how fine your marriage is," Bianca said and she hugged Seth deeply and kissed him on the side of the head, "I'm here for you okay?"

Bianca let him go but he still held onto her so she let the hug last for as long as it needed to. By the time Sasha got out of the shower Belair was leaving for her workout and Seth was praying to God for wisdom. Of course he was still naked so God didn't respond until he had showered and put some clothes on.

"Sasha I need to talk to you," Seth said to the Boss as he pulled on his jeans and she played with his hair lovingly.

"What is it baby?" she asked with a smile.

"Bianca told me about you and Roman in New York," Seth said and Sasha pulled her hand away suddenly as her heart skipped a beat in shock.

"Wow, she really does know Every Secret Thing," Sasha said faintly and she looked up at Seth but he was avoiding her eyes. "It happened before we got together, I'm sorry I never told you but it wasn't really something I wanted to talk to you about. I mean, how do I tell you I slept with your best friend? It's not like I knew we were going to get married and have a baby,"

Seth sighed, "I'm not asking you to re-tell it Sasha, I just wanted you to know that I know now that's all," he said and Sasha nodded. "Roman thought I might leave you when I found out but I'm not.
I love you both and it was a long time ago and that's where it needs to stay,"

"Seth look at me," Sasha said but Seth couldn't look at her, "Seth look at me I need to see your face right now,"

Finally Seth made eye contact with her and his face was tight because he was holding his emotions back, "I still love you Sasha so don't worry about it. I just need to talk to Roman about Galina and make sure things are okay between them,"

"Okay," Sasha said and she took hold of Seth's arms, "things are okay with us too Seth. If I knew things were going to get so serious between us I never would have slept with Roman. The last thing I want is for your life to get any more complicated than it is already. Is there anything you want to know about what happened that night?"

"Its really Roman I need to talk to but there is one thing tha said that I wanted to ask you about. She said that Roman said that the things he would get from me you gave him in one night.
So how many times did you do it?" Seth asked and Sasha's jaw hit the floor.

"What?!" she asked in shock.

"How many times did you do it with Roman, was it just once that night or did you do it and do it and do it again?" Seth asked and Sasha balled up her fist ready to strike her husband square across the jaw for his question.

"Of all the things you could have asked me you decide to go there?! We did it Seth and we did it a lot, there I said it. I can't even believe you'd ask me that!" she snapped furiously.

"I'm competitive I have to know how good it was so I know what your expectations are. I mean you've been comparing me to him this whole time, I think I should know what I've been competing against," Seth said and Sasha gritted her teeth as she continued to clench her fists of fury.

"I'm a let that slide Rollins because you just found out about me and Roman but if you ever talk to me that way again you won't have to leave me because I will leave you, got it?" Sasha warned her husband.

Seth rubbed the back of his neck sadly, "You asked me if there was anything I wanted to know,
I can't be held responsible if you don't like the question I asked. Is there anything else I shouldn't ask you? I think we should put it all on the table Sasha, let's get it all out so I don't make the mistake of telling the great Sasha Banks how I feel about her banging my best friend in New York,"

Sasha stormed out of her bedroom before the expletives flew out her mouth; she was beyond mad while Seth just wanted to keep talking but there was no-one around for him to talk to now that Sasha and Bianca had left him alone. Then he saw Bayley's diary sitting on Sasha's chest of drawers and he sat down and began to write in it. He wrote down all of his feelings and didn't hold anything back.

When he was done it was almost 9am, he had been writing for well over an hour. "This will give Bayley something to smile about," he said and he closed the diary and knocked on the closet door. "Bayley I know you're in there, I wrote something down in your diary and I think you should read it,"

Bayley came out and Seth saw that she had been crying, "Seth I'm so sorry," she said but Seth frowned at her. "I never meant for any of this to happen,"

"What are you talking about?" Seth asked her.

"If I hadn't gone nuts back in New York, Roman would have told you about Sasha and you never would have married her. This is all my fault!" Bayley exclaimed and Seth shook his head with a smile.

"It figures you'd make this all about you," he said and he hugged her sweetly, "but thanks for giving me something to laugh about,"

Bayley frowned at Seth, "I don't see anything funny about this," she said and she scanned Seth's face like a forensic investigator, "you're hurting I can see it in your face, you look just the way you did the night you broke up with Mac,"

"Actually Mac broke up with me. You were there for me then too," Seth said and he sighed, "I gotta go see Roman. Don't worry Bayley, my marriage is fine," he hugged her tightly, "thanks for being such a great friend,"

Seth disappeared out of the room leaving Bayley alone finding herself locked in Sasha's closet once again. Bayley privately read Seth's entry in her diary with disbelief, her heart thundered in her chest at the words Seth had written describing his feelings about his wife sleeping with Roman Reigns before they got married. To her it was like discovering America.

"This is all the proof I need. I have got to end this sham of a marriage once and for all. Seth deserves so much better than this, he deserves the best wife on the planet. He deserves Bayley," Bayley said and she knew she had to resume her business with Stephanie McMahon Hardy sooner than later if she was going to replace the Boss as the woman in Seth Rollins life that mattered to him the most.
As far as he was concerned only she was capable of giving him the love he so dearly needed and according to his last entry, he wasn't going to be giving that love to Sasha Banks anytime soon.
