"Always remember I love you" Jon whispers, kissing me as the music hits. I nod, waiting for Joe and Colby to make their way through the door before following them. Jon grabs my hand and walks beside me to the barrier, helping me over and into the ring before wrapping his arms around me. "It's gonna be fine" he says, loud enough for the cameras to pick up. "I'm not gonna lose Lora. I'm not losing you." I nod, cuddling in to him as Finn's music hits. I watch nervously as he makes his way to the ring. He smirks as he stands in front of me, taking my hand and bowing as he kisses it. I pull it away from him and rub it in my trousers, rubbing hard to wipe the kiss away. Jon, well, he's mad. He pushes Finn hard, and Finn falls on his ass. Joe and Colby pull me out of the ring and the ref calls for the bell.
Jon fights hard. I wasn't expecting anything less. But eventually the match turns, and Finn manages to land the coup de grace. Jon groans as Finn covers him. "Kick out!" I yell, banging on the ring. But it's no good. The ref hits the three count, and my time with The Shield is over. Tears roll down my face as Joe and Colby look at me. "No" I whisper. They shake their heads, each of them taking an arm, not letting me go even though Finn is calling me into the ring. "Lora" Hunter calls on the tron. I look up, barely registering what the crowd is doing. "Get in the ring" Hunter says. "You're with Finn now." I shake my head. "Now!" Hunter yells. I look at Finn as he holds his hand out to help me. I ignore him, climbing the steps and through the ropes on my own. I start to run to Jon but Finn stops me. "He's not your concern anymore" he says loudly. "Now, put your foot on his chest, like this, and raise my hand in victory." I shake my head. "No" I say. "I'm not doing that." "You are" Finn says, lifting my leg and putting my foot down hard on Jon's chest. He grabs my hand and uses it to raise his arm as we both stand over Jon. "I'm so sorry Dean" I sob. The crowd cheers as Finn's music plays. He drags me out of the ring and up the ramp, leaving Jon lying in the middle of the ring.
"That was amazing!" Nikki squeals, rushing to us as soon as we're through the curtain. I smile, wiping my eyes. "You ok?" Finn asks quietly. I nod. "I'm good" I say. "Had to make it look good for the cameras, right?" "Right" Hunter says. "Amazing job out there Lora. I'm looking forward to seeing where this storyline goes. Well done." I don't get chance to answer, Joe and Colby carry Jon through the curtain and he runs to me as soon as they let him go. "Oh baby" he moans, picking me up. "You're freaking amazing, you know that?" I smile, kissing him. "I love you" I whisper. "It's not for long" he says, kissing me. "A few weeks of fun then I get you back at the Rumble." "Lora" Finn says softly. "I'm just gonna grab my stuff from the locker room. Meet you at the door, ok?" I smile, nodding at him before looking back at Jon. "We've got five minutes, tops" I say. "Make them count." He nods, sprinting down to the locker room with me in his arms.
"Lora!" Colby yells, banging on the bathroom door. "Finn is waiting in the corridor!" I groan, straightening my clothes as Jon grins at me. "Five minutes well spent, Mrs Good" he whispers, kissing me softly. I kiss him back and unlock the door, walking out to Colby and Joe. "You do realise you're only going as far as the hotel with Finn, don't you?" Joe asks, grinning. "You're gonna be seeing Jon in like, ten minutes." "Ten minutes too long Anoa'i" I say, kissing his cheek before heading out into the corridor to meet Finn.
"Ready for this?" he asks as I walk to him. I nod, linking my arm through his. "Of course" I say. "Let's do it." He nods, opening the door and holding my hand as if he's pulling me along with him. As we get near the car we can hear the fans yelling at us. "Smile for our public, Lora" Finn says, loud enough for them to hear. I glare at him, shaking my head and trying the passenger door on the car. "Locked" he says, waving the keys at me. "Now smile for the fans." He puts his bags in the car and pulls me to the fence. "Hi guys" he says cheerfully, taking pens and signing autographs. I stand back watching him. "Photos Lora" he says. "Now." I walk to him and stand next to him, forcing smiles for the fans. "Have a good night guys" he says finally. "Be safe. Come on Lora." I follow him to the car, glad when he opens the door so I can get in. He gets in and starts the engine, pulling out of the car park quickly. I check my phone, smiling when I see a text from Jon. "Let us know when you're in the room" I read. "We can't get in the hotel until you've finished your photo ops with the fans. I love you." "I love you too" I reply, then check Instagram. The photos of Finn and I are everywhere. I smile, reading some of the comments. "Her smile doesn't reach her eyes" I read. "She's not happy at all." "Of course she's not!" someone replied. "Her husband just lost her in a wrestling match! Would you be happy? Divorce soon I think!" I laugh and Finn looks at me quickly. "What's so funny?" he asks. "Fans thinking this is gonna make me divorce Jon" I laugh. He grins. "That's actually really good" he says. "It means you did your job well tonight. Well done." I smile, looking at the hotel as he pulls into the car park. "Come on" he says, shutting the engine off and looking at me. "Time to go through it all again."
