Finn and I laugh as we walk back through the curtain. We linger at gorilla, waiting for Dolph, Nikki and Brie. "You ok?" he asks softly. "Yeah" I say. "I'm good. Can't wait to get on that plane now, y'know? Just need to get away from all this shit here, get my head together, work out what I want and what's best for me." He nods. "What is your head saying at the moment?" he asks. "Honestly" I say, looking up at him. "My head is telling me to get the fuck away from him. If he can believe I'd cheat on him, what does that say about our marriage? But my heart, well, that's fucking breaking Finn, I'm not gonna lie to you. It's screaming out for him every second. I know it's wrong. But I can't help it." He nods, pulling me to him as the tears start to fall. Nikki stumbles through the curtain first. "Lora?" she asks softly. I smile at her through the tears. "Eileen warned me not to cry until after the match" I say. "I think I managed it." She smiles, pulling me from Finn. "Come on" she says, leading me down the corridor. "Let's get you all packed up and outta here." I nod, waving at Finn as we walk. He waves back weakly and heads for his own locker room.
"Finn isn't the answer Lora" Nikki warns as we walk into the locker room. "I never said he was" I say. "We're friends, Nikki, nothing more." She nods thoughtfully. "Friends, huh?" she asks. "Does Finn know this?" I frown. "Well yeah" I say. She shakes her head. "You're so naive Lora" she says, starting to get changed. I grab my clothes and storm into the bathroom to get changed in peace.
The locker room is empty by the time I get out. I pack my bag quickly, checking around the room to make sure I've got everything before opening the door. Joe is stood outside, looking awkward. I glare at him before starting to walk down the corridor. "I got it wrong Lora!" he yells after me. I stop dead. "You fucking think?" I yell back, turning around. "I told you from the start you got it wrong! Well, congratulations Joe, you fucked up your best friends marriage. Hope your happy, and proud of yourself. Job well done. Go you." I grab my bag and start walking again. "Please Lora?" he says, quieter this time. "Help me sort this out." "No Joe" I say, still walking and not even looking at him. "You made this mess. You sort it." As I get to the men's locker room door it opens. "Catch you on the weekend guys" Finn says, walking out but not looking where he's going. "Ow! Shit!" I groan as he steps on me. "Fuck! Lora! You ok?" he asks, dropping his bags and helping me. "Yeah, I'm good" I say laughing. "Jeez Balor you're a lump aye!" He laughs and kisses my head. "There's my little welsh doll" he says. "You sure you're ok?" I nod, grabbing my bag again. "I will be when I get out of here" I say. "How are you getting to the airport?" he asks. I shrug. "Cab, I guess" I say. "I came with Dolph and Randy but as the arena is practically empty I'm guessing they've gone already." He nods. "I'll take you" he says suddenly. "Least I can do, make up for crushing you with my bulk." I laugh. "Bulk?" I ask. "Please! There's more meat on a butchers hook than on you!" "Ditto" he says, looking me up and down. "You haven't been eating, have you?" I shake my head. "Guilty as charged" I say. "Other things on my mind." He nods, throwing an arm around my shoulders casually. "Well" he says. "There's this great place not too far from here, does amazing burgers. My treat. Come on." I smile and let him pull me down the corridor. "Yeah right" I scoff. "Cos Finn Balor eats burgers!" "Hey!" he protests. "It's been known!" I laugh and we joke all the way to the car.
"Go on" he says laughing, watching me eat. "Say it, say you were right Finn. Go on, you know you want to." I drop my burger, laughing. "You're a dumbass Balor" I laugh. "But, you were right. Happy now?" "Unbelievably so" he says, standing up. "Hey guys!" he yells. "Did you hear that? Lora Ambrose actually admitted I was right!" I laugh and pull him back down. "I also called you a dumbass" I say. "Oh yeah" he says, starting to stand back up. I pull him down again quickly, everyone is still watching us from his last declaration. I shake my head and he grins. My phone lights up and vibrates around the table. "Instagram and twitter" Finn says handing it to me. "I need to switch off notifications" I groan. "I keep forgetting, and I get tagged in the most random things now." He nods. "Yep" he says. "You will. The price of being an amazing diva, I'm afraid." I smirk at him and open the notifications. "Busted" I say, showing him the picture on Instagram. "Uh Lora" he says quietly. "You might wanna read the caption." I frown and take it back from him. "Balor and Lora enjoying a romantic burger for two" I read. I look up at him. "Oh fuck" I whisper as my phone lights up again. Jon.
