It was the very next morning as Taryn had been up a little bit early. Preferably around 8:30 in the morning. Seth had given her some alone time to get out of the previous clothes she had slept in last night, to change into some comfortable clothing. She slipped on her Hollywood Undead band t shirt and some cameo sweatpants, putting her hair in a bun.

Her eyes were still red from crying last night and sometimes she had felt like breaking down again. She never spoke a word. All she did was cry until she couldn't cry anymore.

And Seth was there for her. He held her in his arms as she would cling onto him. He would caress her back, kiss the top of her head and let her know that it was ok, even though the situation wasn't.

It was hell for her. And it still was.

She still kept thinking about Kristen and Stefan and how they could betray her. Where did the notes come from? Who was stalking her and making her life hell all over again? As if she didn't have enough to deal with as it is.

She laid in bed as she heard the footsteps, as Seth opened the door, having a nice steaming cup of coffee for her. It was indeed a white chocolate mocha from Starbucks where as he had a simple cup for himself.

He looked so good; He had his hair pulled back in a ponytail, his usual blonde was fading as his hair was becoming mostly dark. He was wearing a Tapout shirt, courtesy of the WWE and he was wearing a pair of shorts.

He sat on the bed with her as she sipped her coffee, saying thank you to him.

Seth took a deep breath, sighing as he looked at her. "Taryn you haven't spoken a word at all. I know we tear each others heads off a lot and we have said a lot of stupid shit to each other, but you can tell me what's on your mind. Say something.." He looked at her as she looked down.

She closed her eyes, unsure of what to say. She didn't know how to express it. Where could she even start?

She wanted to talk but she felt like Seth wouldn't understand. She would probably be called stupid or idiotic for staying with Stefan and putting up with his emotional abuse for so long.

Seth could see her trembling as she was nervous. It wasn't easy to get it all out in one opening. After all, being betrayed by two people who you thought loved you can truly tear you down in the worst possible way, especially if its your own husband that was having an affair with someone you knew and was your best friend.

"Taryn...this is Colby you are talking too." He rubbed her cheek with his thumb, tilting her chin upwards to look into his eyes, filled with sincerity. "Please talk to me..."

Taryn shivered and softened, seeing as how gentle he was with her, genuinely concerned about her. She felt herself breathing heavily, her heart felt as though it would explode from her chest. She knew she had been quiet about this for awhile. And even though she had cried out her emotions, she had to be honest about how she felt, no matter how much it hurt.

She couldn't bullshit it anymore and pretend she could handle the pain, when the reality of the situation, was that it was so damn hard for her.

"I thought I had everything together. I was thinking that I had the perfect life. The perfect home..." Her eyes filled with tears again. "And now this...this is what I can't understand; Why did he choose to hurt me? What have I done wrong for him to sleep with my sister? To betray me and break my heart into a million pieces? Why did my sister do this to me? I have looked up to her ever since I was just a kid. Even though I wasn't the most popular girl in school, I had always wanted to be like her." She sniffled, wiping her eyes with the back of her hand as more tears came down. "And I just don't understand it. I have tried so hard to be everything he had wanted. I have tried to be smarter, to be better, to give him all my love and attention as much as I could...and he, they, do this to me."

She cried again as Seth gave her some tissues, listening on. "I feel like a failure. A failure as a wife and as a woman. I knew everyone was warning me about him and I mean everyone, but I just loved him so much. I really wanted him to love me back as much as I did for him."

She blew her nose as Seth took her hand. "You know you have never been a failure. You have always wanted to make people happy. I'm not making his actions justifiable but its pretty clear that all he cared about was Stefan and he was a dick for that. As for Kristen, she is a screwed up piece of shit as well."

"Maybe I can see why he wanted to be with her..." She drank more of her coffee, running a hand through her hair, shaking a little.

"What do you mean?" He inquired, wanting to dig a little inside her mind.

She sighed as she had her head down, looking back up at him before she went on, knowing she had to speak her piece.

"Seth, I don't know how long you have been in school with us but, Kristen was the head cheerleader and every guys dream. She had the long legs, skinny, tanned, the long hair with blonde highlights. The beautiful hazel eyes and whatnot. Even she had perfect breasts but a small butt of course." She chuckled softly. "Still...she was built perfectly. It's no wonder that every man wanted to go for her."

"Taryn-" She cut him off quickly; holding a hand up to signal for him to hold that thought.

"And I know what you are going to say; That I shouldn't focus on my insecurities and that there is no need but Seth...you have never been bullied before like me. You have never been talked down too and people calling you fat and Ms. Piggy and that even when your mom says that as a woman, curves are the most beautiful thing on you, you often don't believe it because you see the other girls, especially the ones in the magazines." She scoffed, shaking her head at herself. "You have never been the one to go on diets, starving yourself and then when they don't work, people still continue to make fun of you...so you stay in your room, locked in there and eat as much as you can until the pain is numb. It doesn't help, I know but you do what you can to make it last."

She drank the rest of her coffee as she stood up, pacing back and forth on the floor. "All I have wanted to do was make my husband happy. For him to say "Hey Taryn, I'm proud of you and you have been busting your ass and I am honored to have you." Instead what do I do? I practically play the dumb ass boo boo the fool to him and do everything I can to serve and please him and what do I do? I have let him use me, disrespect me over and over again and I have had to smile while his friends and family constantly shit talk me while I have been nothing but a fucking doormat for him. Even taking these stupid ass fucking diet pills for him which I have hated, and putting up with every shitty thing he has done to me. I am so angry at myself that it's no wonder I am as fucked up as he says that I am. That I am nothing more than a fucking embarrassment.."

She had talked herself into a rage, the anger bubbling up inside that she grabbed the closest thing to her, which was a glass mug from her tea the other day as she smashed it against the wall, with it shattering to pieces as she was hyperventilating, breathing hard.

Seth had quickly went over to her, wanting her to calm down for the moment. He didn't want her destroying the room but he understood deeply how she felt.

It was then that he started to blame himself for her self esteem issues she was dealing with. He knew he was one of the people making fun of her and would even call her fat from time to time and being childish back then. Of course, she didn't stand up to everyone else except him and even got payback on him a couple times.

He didn't realize how badly it was affecting her. Especially after all those years.

"You didn't deserve any of this. Stefan was nothing more than an asshole. And yes, you may have let him do these things to you but love is blind and it can make you do stupid things, especially since you want to try so hard to make your loved one happy. But he was only caring about his needs. He was only looking out for himself." He held her in his arms. "You could have done everything as he had wanted and it wouldn't have changed how badly he was treating you..."

"I still don't know what to do. What to say about this. I feel as though I should have known something was wrong. It was staring at me right in the face. But all I wanted was for him to love me." She wiped her eyes as more tears came down. She thought she would never stop crying.

Now she was truly angry. She was angry at Stefan and Kristen, but mostly she was angry at herself.

At the same time, she felt like she was the reason that Stefan went to Kristen. She had always believed she was not enough for him and still did right now.

"Was I not enough for him? Could I have done more?" She asked these questions aloud, not towards Seth directly.

Seth sat down on the carpeted floor as Taryn followed suit, with Seth pulling her down with him.

"Don't even start taking responsibility for his shit. I don't even want you to begin or think about it, do you understand me?" He cupped her cheek as he made her look into his eyes. There was so much pain in her eyes that his heart was hurting for her and he was angry for her as well.

"But Seth-"

"But nothing, Taryn." He cut her off. "You have more to offer and he was an ungrateful fucking idiot. All he wanted to do was just continue to hurt you over and over again. You gave him everything you possibly could and he was being a stupid shit. You have been taking responsibility for his shit for so long and I'm sick of it. It's time you put a stop to it too. Especially when you know deep down in your heart, you are wonderful."

Taryn thought about this for a brief moment. Was Seth actually right? Had she been taking responsibility for Stefan's actions and making excuses for them. A part of her was screaming yes but on the other hand, it was as though she thought she was only defending her husband and what she thought he was doing what was best out of love and not intentionally.

She slowly realized he was right. Looking back at it now, from the time when they first got together up until now, she had made stupid ass excuses for his actions and she was always getting the backlash from him whenever something was wrong or if he had done something screwed up at his job and whatnot, she was the target. She was the one who was to blame for everything that had gone wrong with his plans.

"You're right..." She said quietly, bunching her knees up to her chest as she looked at him, ashamed. "I have been doing this for so long that it was an unhealthy pattern. I had honestly believed in my mind, he was doing this out of love when the truth was that...he only wanted to hurt me again and again. But even though I'm realizing it now, as a woman, you can't help as to wonder why? It plays a part with everyone whenever someone gets hurt in a relationship, especially if they have been cheated on. You have to ask yourself why? How did it become a failure? When did all of this go wrong?"

"I know that sweetheart, and it's ok to feel that way. You don't have anything to be ashamed of. Trust me. You were only being a loving person. It's how you've always been, even when you have been threatening to cut my dick off on more than one occasion."

At that moment, Taryn snorted softly with laughter as she wiped her eyes. "This is coming from the man who would threaten to cut off a chunk of my hair and then would threaten to come into my room late at night, glue it to my face as a beard."

"Yeah I did say that." Seth's cheeks turn red as he chuckled lightly.

As much as Taryn was still hurting and it wouldn't go away over night. It would take a while. Maybe even a week or two weeks. Hell, probably even longer. But getting most of what she was feeling took the heavy weight off her shoulders, emotionally.

And then Seth of course, he didn't make fun of her. He didn't say "I told you so" whenever he warned her of her husband. He didn't make her feel like shit even more. He was all ears for her and she appreciated it more than anything.

"How about you and I go somewhere today?" He got up from the floor as he saw Kevin and Oreo squeezing their small bodies through the crack of the door.

"Like where?" She asked curiously as she got up with him. She giggled as she saw that Kevin would circle his way around her leg, trying to lick her purple painted toes.

"Oh god Kevin no.." She groaned, laughing as he would try to nibble on them.

"That's Kevin way of saying he misses you." He smirked at Taryn.

"Well I have missed him too." She bent down and kissed the heads of both dogs. "But where would we be going today? You have your class today with the academy and I have to go to the studio and we have to train as well."

"Well, since my class doesn't start until 1:00 and you don't have your studio time until 4:30, I say let's just go for a drive. No where in particular. We can even stop and grab some doughnuts."

"I do like doughnuts." She smiled, hungry for some as her stomach growled.

"Gotta get that sugar, you know?" He laughed as he picked up Kevin, heading out her room.

"I'll be ready in a few minutes, ok?" She told him as he nodded, ready to hit the showers as she did the same.

...

About 30 minutes later, Taryn was waiting for Seth downstairs as he had finished and he came down the steps, his hair pulled back and he was wearing a fitting black shirt that said "DESTROY EVERYTHING, REGRET NOTHING"with some black skinny jeans, vans and he was sporting his usual snapback, which was a Day To Remember.

Seth couldn't help but smile as he saw Taryn playing with Oreo and Kevin. She was also wearing a pair of glasses, her hair in a side ponytail and she had on an Invader Zim "Let's Taco Bout It" shirt with some black skinny jeans and sneakers.

He always knew she was a nerd and thought it was the cutest thing on her.

But she really didn't think she was sexy or beautiful. He could see that she didn't find anything positive about that.

He really wanted to change her point of view on that. But for right now, he knew she was still hurting, still sad inside from a broken failed marriage. He would help her to heal and let her talk his ear off if she had too.

"You all set?" he asked as he jogged down the steps to meet with her.

"Yeah." She nodded, eyeing the way he was wearing the jeans. He had always worn skinny jeans, even back in high school. They were his thing anyway.

She found herself wondering about his entire body. She had seen him without his shirt plenty of times and even thought of the few chest hairs on him, which she thought were so damn sexy. She had never given it that much thought to be honest but damn...

"Taryn are you ready?" He kept calling her name as she jumped up, zoned out in her lost thoughts. She thought she was going to be dizzy.

"Yeah, yeah I'm ready.." She nodded, grabbing her small purse as Oreo and Kevin would be coming with them.

"I see you like Invader Zim." He noticed the shirt design as she smiled.

"Yeah. I know I'm an adult and all but Invader Zim is one of my favorite shows, especially when they would play Saturday morning. They were weird and funny, and in some way, I can relate to that weirdness...well not completely but for the most part." She giggled as they walked outside, heading to the car.

"Hey, I don't judge. I'm a Harry Potter nerd, in case you didn't know." He wiggled his brows as she giggled.

"I still like Harry Potter but just not the books, they would take too long and really didn't get me too into what it was all about. But the movies however, I would binge watch them like crazy. Of course I gotta say that they could never beat my Scream Queens and my American Horror Story Series."

He chuckled lightly as he unlocked the keys to his Escalade as all of them hopped inside.

Seth turned on the ignition as Kevin and Oreo were sitting in Taryn's lap and then they had driven off.

The drive was honestly the best thing ever for Taryn. She had the windows rolled down a bit as Seth would play from a Day To Remember To Parkway Drive. Even Taryn had played her favorite bands such as Escape the Fate, Disturbed, and Don Omar and Arcangel as her favorite singers.

Sometimes they would sing the bands, with Seth of course, mostly screaming the words, making Taryn laugh on purpose even though she tried not too. Then Taryn would sing some of the songs that played in Spanish.

Overall, the drive was amazing as they cruised down the highway, with the wind blowing and Taryn laughed, just enjoying the breeze. Seth enjoyed it himself as well.

They had stopped for some ice cream and Taryn had decided to order Mint Chocolate Chip as Seth made a face of disgust.

"What?" She asked as she ate some, while Seth had usual Vanilla.

"I don't understand Mint Chocolate chip. That has to stay separate. Yuck." He stuck his tongue out, making a face.

"Oh please. Mint chocolate chip is amazing." She ate some more as they had walked nearby to the lake, Oreo and Kevin were in the car, but the windows were down so they wouldn't be suffering in the warm weather.

They found somewhere to sit as Seth and Taryn sat down on the grass, watching the small ripples of the lake, enjoying the view.

"Thanks for the ice cream." She giggled, eating more of it.

"Don't worry about it." He ate some, looking at the view of the lake. "Honestly...besides the gym and the beach, this is the third spot I come to whenever I want to clear my head. Whenever I just want to get away from it all.."

"Even the WWE?" She asked, to which he nodded in reply.

"Honestly...me too." She confessed. "I love being in the WWE, I really do. Just its so much to take on, you know? Being away from your family and friends, you have to make a lot of sacrifices and barely any time on your hands."

"I can fully relate." He sighed as he set the plastic bowl of ice cream down as they both laid down on the grass, both of them staring at the sky.

"It's so peaceful." Taryn sighed, enjoying the peace and quiet. Only she could hear a few birds chirping here and there but it was mostly quiet. She looked around seeing the trees and enjoying the feel of the grass, while also hoping nothing crawls on her too.

It was quiet between them as she sighed once more, as Seth turned his head to look at her.

"Penny for your thoughts?"

"I don't think you even want to know." She scoffed softly, crossing her legs.

"Perhaps I do." He replied, curious. "Give me a chance, you know?"

"Well..." She sat up slightly, laying on her elbows. "It's like as much as I had loved Stefan...I had that feeling..well it was just that..." She stopped, thinking carefully as to what to say next. "I guess..."

"What is it?" Seth looked at her, carefully watching her facial expression as she spoke carefully.

"It just hurts to know when you love someone, they feel nothing but disdain towards you. Nothing but hate..." She lowered her eyes, sadness in her voice. "I knew deep down, that's how Stefan felt towards me and I honestly believed that it was just tough love. I know it's pretty stupid. it's stupid that you can't even read your own spouses' emotions or how often they think sometimes, or even if they have any ounce of love for you. I was just so indulged into this stupid fairy tale. But I guess there really is no such thing is there?"

She picked out a dandelion as she blew into it, picking at it as she expressed her thoughts, as Seth wished he could have the answers for her. He wished she didn't have to suffer from this pain, to which he knew was partially his fault.

There was nothing neither of them could do about it. They had their share of fights. Their share of making each others lives hell. It wasn't as though they could sweep everything from under the rug. Taryn wasn't an angel but she wasn't guilty either. Seth knew he was a piece of shit to her back then and at the times when they had worked together on RAW and Smackdown, he was still an asshole to her. He didn't even know why sometimes, given that he knew he would get the backlash from it from her, especially with the fiery attitude that she had.

But at the same time, if he had to be completely honest, he actually liked it. As strange as it was, he liked how she would snap off at him, threatening to kill him, beat his brains out, rip out his nuts and she would have them as her jewelry set. It was any kind of attention that he really liked from her.

From the days he had to deal with Zahara being an absolute first class bitch and their straining relationship, arguing with Taryn was like a breath of fresh air to him.

"Taryn.." He looked at her as she looked up at him. "I'm sorry..."

"For what?" Taryn had the obvious confusion in her voice.

"For being a shitty asshole to you back then and well...being a dick. I can't change the things I had done, especially when I had bullied you, but I want to try again."

"I was no better, Rollins." She sat up as she ate the rest of her ice cream. "I was being an asshole as much as you were."

"But you are adorable with it." He stuck his tongue out at her playfully as she found herself blushing at his statement.

"...Thank you." She smiled at him, knowing he meant that apology. It felt good to hear that from him. She was surprised to hear it from out of all the people who had bullied her, who made fun of her, who ridiculed her, it was Seth Rollins that actually apologized for hurting her.

They had gotten up as they had decided to head back to the car, grab some lunch and attend to their respective places. They had to get on the road very soon for Smackdown.

...

As Taryn was in the studio, working on a new song, one that she could say was filled with passion and even filled with her emotions, she saw that Brandi held up her cellphone, telling her to hold on. Taryn asked the producer to stop the music as she stepped out the booth.

"What is it?" She asked.

"Someone named Mark Carrano from WWE Talent Relations is calling." She said.

Taryn quickly grabbed the phone, her heart was beating rapidly as her anxiety was rising; Normally if Mark or Stephanie was calling, it could either be good or bad. She couldn't help but to be nervous, seeing as how she was still on suspension.

"Y-Yes..." She swallowed hard, nervous as to what he had to say.

"Hello Ms. Hilton. We actually have some good news for you. So as we had all talked, we know you were still on suspension. However, we have decided that you can come back tonight and that you are scheduled for a match.

"Wait what?" Taryn was indeed shocked and flabbergasted.

"According to your doctors and your therapist, you have been improving over the last 2 months and decided you should come back sooner. If you feel you are not ready yet, it's up to you completely." He said proudly, hoping she wouldn't turn down the opportunity.

Taryn closed her eyes, her heart jumping for joy. She missed being in the squared ring, to be a part of the Women's Division. She hated being placed on the shelf. She knew she would be stupid if she didn't take this opportunity when it was smacking her right in the face.

"You just tell all the women, that they had better watch out." She smiled proudly.

"Sounds wonderful. We can't wait. Your opponent tonight will be Nikki Bella." He confirmed it as she smiled. "Your sister will also be with you ringside."

"Sounds like plan. See you tonight." She ended the call as she hopped up and down with excitement. She had to keep herself from exploding all over as she told her manager Brandi what happened.

She didn't say too much to her manager but she did say that Stefan had an affair. Nothing else of course.

Of course, her manager was very supportive, trashing him and calling him a piece of shit.

Even though Brandi was only trying to help, Taryn knew even talking about it still stung her at the moment and hurt her deeply. Even with the greatest day with Seth, the feelings of betrayal were obviously not going to go away. She had to keep her emotions separate though. Even though she wasn't sure what to do about Stefan and his ultimatum, she knew she had to focus on tonight's match and mentally prepare herself for the return.

The moment she called Ariel and told her the news as well as her other friends, she practically screamed through the phone as well as most of her friends called and excited. She talked to Mama Lucia as well about her return and she already knew her Mama would be watching on her TV.

She didn't tell her yet about what Kristen and Stefan had done. She knew she would find out soon but right now, she had to focus on one thing at a time.

The woman had finished her hair, curling it up as the other women did her make up. As Taryn had been keeping up with WWE RAW and Smackdown, the scripted storyline was that The Bella Twins attacked Ariel, igniting a feud. The Bellas had talked so much shit about Ariel and Taryn, and even though they were not allowed to talk about the incident on the Pay Per View, the writers had made sure the Bellas had spoken of an unfortunate incident and called Taryn and Ariel, stupid losers.

They had done sneak attacks on Ariel during her matches and Taryn was glad to be back. Even though they were actually got along with the Bellas, she couldn't wait to fight them too.

Taryn had her ring gear on, which was a white metallic romper with a hoodie and her matching boots on. She wore white lace gloves. Of course, to add some effect, she designed for the seamstress to make it look as though there were tears of blood on the side of her gear, like tiger claws.

She had done her makeup and black cherry lipstick as usual and she had stretched, working the muscle kinks out. She even did her push ups over and over, working up a bit of a sweat. As she went to go get herself a bottle of water, she noticed how Nikki Bella was flirting with Seth Rollins, as he was laughing at whatever she said but it wasn't as though he was flirting back.

Everyone knew that Nikki was with John Cena and that she was always friendly like this towards everyone, but at that point, Taryn felt like walking up to her and slapping the shit out of her.

"She better grow some fucking wings fast, now that I'm seeing that hand on his arm. What the hell is she giggling about anyway?" A voice in her head told her, which had sparked an ounce of jealousy out of nowhere.

"Whoa calm down with that." She grabbed her water, drinking it as Smackdown had started now. She had to wonder where did that even come from, seeing as how she didn't even see Seth in that way.

Well...at least that's what she kept trying to convince herself, despite the fact that he has actually been amazing company to her ever since the situation of her husband's cheating and her Kristen's backstabbing.

In the later segments, it was a match with Ariel VS Brie Bella. Taryn had watched backstage, knowing that the WWE Universe was unaware of her return. She didn't reply to any messages on Twitter or retweet back.

She made no hints what so ever.

After the hard match, eventually the Bellas had done twin magic and screwed over Ariel, to which they both attacked her, both of them stomping on her.

"Insane In The Membrane" by Cypress Hill had played throughout the arena as everyone screamed when they saw Taryn run down the ramp that even the commentators had gotten outta their seats. Taryn slid into the ring and started to fight on Brie Bella, throwing punches on her as Ariel had gotten back up to fight Nikki. Both sisters were putting in work as Taryn had tossed Brie Bella out the ring as well as Nikki Bella.

Of course Stephanie had came out and she made the match; Taryn VS Nikki Bella, which started now.

...

Seth was actually watching backstage at Taryn's match. Even though Nikki had the upper hand in the beginning and with trash talking, Taryn came back harder than ever, with the WWE Universe behind her as she had used her signature moves with a quickness and gracefully, being able to counter the moves that Nikki Bella was throwing at her. She even did the butterfly suplex on Nikki, trying to pin her, but it didn't work as she kicked out at 2.

However, she was tiring out Nikki.

Eventually, during the course of the match, Brie had tried to distract Taryn by trying to attack her, but Ariel had grabbed her leg, pulling her off the apron as she fell on the floor, both of them fighting with Ariel driving her into the wall.

Taryn took this opportunity to do her submission; The Straight Jacket.

With pulling at Nikki's arms, having her locked completely in the hold, she had no choice but to tap out.

Seth actually grinned as Taryn had gotten the victory, with the ref raising her hand.

"Here is your winner by submission, Taryn!" The ring announcer said as Ariel climbed in the ring, both of them hugging each other.

At the same time, Taryn was sweating, proud that she got the victory as Ariel hugged her, whispering "about fucking time you came back"

Of course, the Bellas had laid there, cursing at them as Ariel and Taryn left the ring, with Taryn hugging her fans, giving them high fives and even doing a few pictures with them.

She had went backstage as her friends greeted her, smiling.

Being that they were still on live, Seth couldn't smile or greet her as he still played the villain. But she knew he was happy for her anyway.

After a interview with Tom and Jojo, she made her way to the locker room to take a quick shower and to change to prepare for the long trip ahead.

However, before she made it to the locker room, she saw the one person who made her heart froze in fear. The one person she wished she never saw.

Alex Riley.

He had greeted all the ladies and Taryn had decided to pull the hoodie over her head to avoid Alex.

In a few minutes, she was glad to have avoided him.

She stepped outside for a brief moment, just wanting the cold air to get to her to lower her anxiety levels which were skyrocketing by now.

She even fought the urge to cut again. She told herself not to do it over and over, she just had to.

In a second, she relaxed and she felt herself coming back to earth again

As she had turned to go back into the building, there was Alex right in front of her, still tall and built.

"Why hello there Taryn. I haven't seen you since high school." He chuckled, seeing her frightened state. "I mean we may work in the same company but I'm sure soon we'll get a chance to talk one on one." He smiled eerily.

"No thank you." She stated mildly. "I need to head back inside."

"Not just yet." he grabbed her arm. "Just wanted to say one thing."

"Get your hands off me Alex." She snatched her arm away from him as he smirked.

"Now what are you going to do about it." He whispered to her as she was trying not to tremble out of fear.

She didn't say a word. No response.

"Exactly. Absolutely nothing. Just like how you've always been." He recalled to all the times when he had bullied her and all she would do is cry or run away. He especially took great joy in raping her.

Of course now, his career was nothing more. He couldn't wrestle ever since that night he was brutally attacked by the masked person. He would find out soon who it was though.

In the meantime, he had to make things clear to Taryn so she wouldn't open her mouth.

"Just so we are clear, that other night...was fun for me." He chuckled, touching her cheek with only his index finger as she cringed. "And just so you know, no one will believe you even if you do say something. Everyone will turn their backs on you. And no matter what, I own you forever because of it."

She smacked his finger away from her face as he scowled, his fist balled up, ready to punch her in her face. That was until they heard some voices.

"Go to hell..." She remarked as she ran off, with Alex chuckling as she ran from him.

"I'd like to see her try to do anything. I'll make sure she will regret it if she opens her mouth about what happened back then..." He swore by that.

Seth and Taryn had traveled back to the hotel room of the Marriott. They had to be in the next city in a couple hours but for now, all the WWE Superstars were in the hotel.

Taryn had a hotel room by herself, despite that Maria and Ariel said that she could room with them, she felt it was indeed necessary.

Seth had invited Taryn to watch a movie and order some food before they had gone off to sleep.

It was a movie that Seth had gotten from Walmart real quick, not thinking much of it. Taryn was fine with it being an action movie.

During the course of the movie, they had ordered some burritos and barbecue wings.

"Sometimes, I don't like staying at the hotel." He shook his head. "It's just not for me."

"I wonder how Oreo and Kevin are doing." She wondered as she bit into her burrito.

"Probably having a house party." He shrugged, eating into his wings.

"Ugh, without us though?" She did a little dance move which made Seth laugh.

Things were going ok during the movie and the food until a certain sex scene had come on.

Taryn then felt her skin being warmed as Seth had watched out the corner of her eye. It seemed to him that she was indeed getting uncomfortable.

"Can-Can we watch something else please...or fast-forward it?" She saw the actors taking each others clothes off, the scene getting intense.

"What's wrong? I mean its not as if they are-"

"Just change it please.." She said a bit harshly.

Seth sighed as he changed it, not even doing the movie anymore. However, it seemed that the other few channels had something regarding sex or a commercial regarding sex toys.

"Ok, I need to go.." She got up quickly, slipping on her sneakers.

"Taryn wait, it's just a sex toy commercial, and you already have those." Seth accidentally slipped out from his mouth, as Taryn's eyes widened.

"What did you just say? How did you know that I even had one in the first place?" She raised her eyebrows in suspicion. She hoped that whatever he was about to say wasn't true.

"I...it was the other night when you were at my condo...I had walked in on you masturbating during porn.." He confessed, already the voice in his head calling him a dumb ass.

"Oh my god, you were watching me?" She was pretty pissed off but she was more embarrassed than upset.

"I wasn't watching you. I thought you were having another nightmare and I didn't know alright?" He quickly defended himself.

"Knocking helps, you know? God, I can't believe you!" She threw her hands up in disgust as she grabbed her jacket, having already lost her appetite.

"Taryn wait a minute." He was confused. "I wasn't watching you ok? So don't accuse me of that. Secondly, even if I was, there was nothing wrong with what you are doing. Hell, every woman does it. Everybody masturbates." He argued.

"I don't, alright! I'm not like every woman, as you so called put it." She defended herself, wanting to be upset at Seth but knew that she shouldn't. She was upset at herself and embarrassed at the fact that she did it and now it was out in the open, even if Seth hadn't meant to blurt it out.

"It was just disgusting ok? I was disgusted by what I had done and I never want to do it again. I just don't." She tried to leave, feeling extremely embarrassed but Seth wouldn't let her.

"Taryn what are you talking about?" He blocked her exit, trying to reason with her. She wouldn't look him in the eyes. She just couldn't.

"Nothing Seth. I'm sorry alright, can we just drop it and let me go back to my room?" She knew she was being a coward as she tried to avoid the topic but Seth knew this was eating away at her.

"Taryn just sit for a few minutes. Just talk to me." He took her hands in his. "I'm not going to make fun of you."

"Yes you are. I'm used to it anyway." She bit her bottom lip.

"I told you this already. I don't want to be a dick towards you anymore. I told you earlier today you can talk to me and I won't say anything. Can you just trust me...please..."

Anything of sex had bothered Taryn as of lately. Seth could even remember during that time they had kissed, she was hesitant to kiss back and cringed. He knew it was more than just the fact she was married.

Taryn was so ashamed to even look at Seth, the black and blue sneaker designs were more interesting as she looked down.

Seth had then led her to the bed as she sat down with him, tilting her head up with his index finger.

"I promise. Anything you say to me, I'll listen. What's going on?" He questioned. "You never acted like this before, especially when it came to some stupid sex scene, which was pretty bad taste anyway."

She knew he was making light humor of this and was grateful for that. But her run in with Alex and her recurring nightmares for years now, it had been killing her. Sometimes the nightmares were so bad, she would have mild seizures or she would wish she would just die whenever she went to sleep at night. Her insomnia was a real bitch because of it.

"It's ok..." He gently pushed her. "Just give me a chance."

"I can't..." Her eyes filled with tears. "I'm so scared."

He held her hands as he could feel her trembling. His eyes were pleading for her to trust him. Seth was never a man who begged for anything in his life, no matter who it was. But he knew something was eating away at Taryn, much more than her husbands affair.

Taryn sighed as she sat up. She decided to go for it. Give him a chance. She just prayed it wouldn't backfire on her.

"Seth..." She swallowed hard as she shook, tightening her hands on him. "I'll tell you.."

He nodded not saying a word.

She took a deep breath, finally breaking the silence.

"I was raped."
