Early Monday morning, 9/14/15…
"Ow!" Amanda yelled after being yanked out of her much needed sleep by Seth's size 11 right foot slamming into the back of her left knee, the raven haired man once again drunk.
Fed up, Amanda sat upright and balled her right hand into a fist before giving him a slightly hesitant look.
"No, wake him up." Amanda mutters, slamming her fist down hard onto Seth's torso.
Seth screamed in pain as his eyes snapped open, rubbing his now sore sternum and looking at his now furious roommate, who's hazel eyes shone with anger instead of sparkling with happiness.
"We're not sharing a room anymore if you keep getting blind drunk and hurting me in our sleep, you fucking idiot! You need to lay off the drinking and go crash somewhere else!" Amanda yelled, dragging Seth towards the door after getting up out of the bed as Seth started to regain full awareness around him.
"Mandy, it was an-" Seth says, Amanda opening the door and shoving him out it before throwing his things at him as he pulled himself up to his feet. "Mandy, calm down, it was an accident!" He yells.
"Oh, I'll calm down once you're outta here, now shove off! And don't come back until you get your sleep rage under control!" Amanda yells, slamming and locking the door. Amanda limped back to the bed and grumbled in Irish… before hearing a knock and yelling in the same language.
"I think you meant to say it the other way, sweetheart." Finn says, Amanda's head snapping up and her limping to the door.
Amanda unlocked it and opened it, letting the NXT champion into the room… and he saw her left knee starting to swell up and helped her sit down on the bed, propping her knee up on the pillows before finding the ice bucket and a bag, Amanda cringing slightly as the freezing cold cubes were on her knee.
"Grab your laptop." Finn says, Amanda looking at him. "I've got a good distraction." He says, Amanda grabbing her MacBook Pro and opening it as she rubbed her sleepy eyes.
When it was on, Finn linked his left arm around her shoulders and draped his right arm over her left shoulder, typing in some Irish phrases in on Google Translate.
Amanda memorized them as she leaned against Finn and he started singing to her.
It wasn't long before she was asleep again, soft snores escaping her mouth… Finn smiled slightly, turning the laptop off and closing it after setting it out of Amanda's reach before setting her onto her back and taking the ice pack off of her knee before pulling the covers over her.
"That's better… let those peaceful dreams flood your mind, Mandy." Finn whispers, stretching out next to her and pulling the covers over himself.
His eyes closed when her soft snores soothed him into sleep and his right arm wrapped around her back… now both were content in their sleep.
Present time…
"Do I even need to ask?" Amanda mutters after hearing a loud, persistent knock at the door.
"Open this fucking door, Mandy!" Seth yelled, Amanda sighing as she zipped up her Balor Club hoodie that was used to conceal her bruised back, Finn's teeth marks from the truth or dare contest and black and white cropped bustier before unlocking the door.
"Can't you see I'm getting ready for the show?!" Amanda asks, Seth seeing her destructed white skinny jeans.
"I don't care that you were getting ready, where is he?! Balor!" Seth growled, yelling the last part as he pushed Amanda into the door and barged in.
"Finn's getting ready for his match against Dash Wilder, why are you going off the rails now?!" Amanda says, getting increasingly fed up with this and rubbing her bruised back as pain shot through it from it hitting the doorknob.
She had hit it right where her left kidney is… and she really hoped that she hadn't bruised it too, that had happened once before after a collision with the steel steps late last year and she had to be hospitalized for two weeks as her kidney had lacerated and had to be stitched up.
Thankfully, she had no further problems with it.
"Because Alexa showed me what you wouldn't tell me! How long have you and Finn been screwing each other, Mandy?!" Seth shouts, demanding the last part.
"I don't know what Alexa showed you but she's an evil, lying little bitch! You really gonna believe her?" Amanda says, trying not to lose her temper.
"Why shouldn't I, she at least showed me video of you and the Demon King all cozy! Some honest person you are, huh, my Shield sister?!" Seth shouts, Amanda rolling her eyes and opening the door.
"You need to leave." Amanda said as she tried to maintain her composure.
"I'm not going anywhere until-" Seth says, screaming when Amanda's right hand cracked across his face.
"You want the truth?! I went to him because I was pushed past my limit after you punched me so hard that I was sent flying back first into the bar! I love you to death like a brother but the thing I should've done last night is let you fall on your ass! Now go!" Amanda yelled, getting louder halfway through as her repressed rage spilled out… and the yelling sent Finn running to them.
"Alright… I'll go. But don't guarantee on me walking back to you." Seth said coldly, storming off as he rubbed his sore face and Finn saw Amanda trembling with rage and hurt and carefully pulled her into his arms.
Amanda hung onto him and rested her head on his right shoulder as tears streamed down her face… she was glad that she had bought the Rimmel London 25 hour long lasting foundation a while back and that it held up nicely through anything.
Because if it didn't, she knew that everyone else would go crazy if they saw bruises on her face.
Calmed down, Amanda and Finn let go and Amanda checked her reflection in the mirror, her makeup untouched… she didn't want the world seeing the physical results of the brawl.
"Everything okay?" Both heard, looked and saw Adrian Neville.
"You heard all the yelling?" Amanda asks.
"That… and saw Seth's mouth split open and bleeding." Adrian says.
Amanda felt Finn's arms wrap around her and once again, the two embraced each other.
That nagging feeling was right there in her mind… and it wouldn't let go.
