August 25th 2015, after SmackDown and NXT tapings…
'Well fuck…' Amanda thought after reaching the hotel room and hearing Dean and Roman arguing drunkenly before having to jump back as Dean stormed out and down the hall.
"Don't come crying to me when Renee tosses you out on your ass!" Roman yelled out the door.
"I'll sleep in the damn rental car if I have to!" Dean shouted before disappearing into the elevator, Amanda grabbing what she could and packing them up as Roman tried to stop her.
"Mandy, please stay! It was just a little fight between friends!" Roman begged as Amanda headed out the door with her duffel bag before turning around.
"I can't crash with you guys when you're drunk… call Seth if you want a roommate." Amanda responded before heading down the hallway.
She had gotten out of the elevator and would've headed to the front desk had it not been for the nearby door opening and her seeing Sami.
"Told ya I heard someone out here!" Sami said into the room before lightly grabbing Amanda by her right wrist and led her into the room before closing and locking the door… the last thing Amanda thought that she'd see this late was a lego house on the floor but the second Finn saw her, he stopped building it and stood up, walking over and the two hugging.
"So sick of them fighting like that… they'll be over it by morning, friends usually are but I just didn't feel like hearing it tonight." Amanda said quietly as they let go and Finn's hands resting on her shoulders.
"Can't blame you one bit, people get out of control at times." Finn responded after setting Amanda's duffel bag on the bed before she and Sami hugged.
"Yes they do and I am gonna go crash out in my own room… these walls are thin, try not to make too much noise when you get at it." Sami replied, the last part jokingly and Amanda swatting him before Sami walked to the adjoining door and opened it, walking into his own room and closing the door… and Amanda seeing that Sami had dropped off Finn's duffel bag, having accidentally grabbed it after leaving instead of his own.
Finn disassembled his Legos as Amanda took her makeup off with a Neutrogena Makeup Remover wipe before tossing it in the small trashcan and closing the pack of wipes before putting it away in the front pocket… and Finn seeing the expression on her face change.
"Was in such a rush to get out of there that I…" Amanda said, trailing off when she saw Finn grab the white shirt he had worn during the promo before NXT: TakeOver: Brooklyn and hand it to her before turning around as she stripped down to her hiphugger panties before putting the shirt on and putting her own clothes away and climbing into the bed.
Finn took his own clothes off, leaving him in his light blue boxers as he climbed into the bed with Amanda and reached his left hand over to brush her hair back.
"If I have to put up with one more fight between them, I'm gonna lose my fucking mind… as much as I care about those guys, I just need a break from them." Amanda whispered before giving into sleep, Finn kissing her on her forehead before closing his eyes.
'We all just need a bit of quiet time…' Finn thought before drifting off into sleep…
Present time…
Amanda stretched her legs slightly as she felt Finn's arms around her and opened her eyes after rubbing them, her mind fuzzy and her body feeling like it was weighed down by bricks and tried to close her eyes again after seeing that it was only 5:40 in the morning but noticed that Finn was half awake… and then it registered to her why he wasn't sleeping when she heard fists banging against the door.
"Open this door and give me back my Shield Sister, Balor!" Dean yelled drunkenly, Amanda turning the lamp light on.
"Yeah… he's beyond drunk." Amanda muttered as she and Finn sat up and Finn grabbed his phone, turning to the video recorder and turning it to them as Dean continued yelling and hitting at the door.
"The disintegration of the group formerly known as The Shield continues… it is nearly 6 in the damn morning, Dean is still drunk and living up to his Lunatic Fringe gimmick, it seems. Mandy showed up here at about 11 last night because of the fighting… you all can hear that in the background…" Finn replied before feeling Amanda's right arm wrap around him and her head rest on his right shoulder as Dean continued yelling. "You see how exhausted she is, right? This is ridiculous, she should be able to get away from them for a few hours." He responded.
"And Dean's not gonna go anywhere anytime soon with how he is, we might find him passed out in front of the door in the morning. Unless he wakes Sami or… Sami's in the room on the left, who's staying in the room on the right?" Amanda replied.
"Johnny Gargano, I think." Finn answered before hearing the door on the right open and Johnny storm out and grab Dean, Finn stopping and saving the recording before closing the app out and setting his phone down.
"Get off me!" Dean yelled, Johnny punching him as Sami reached them.
"We're all trying to sleep, Dean! Now leave Mandy and Finn alone!" Johnny responded angrily.
"We're all exhausted but you, Roman and Seth are stressing Mandy out even worse than normal!" Sami said.
"And what, they're gonna make a big fuckup together and split the whole group up! Oh wait a second, the… group's already dead, ain't it?" Dean replied angrily.
"Yeah, now just head back to your room!" Johnny said.
"Can't… got into a fight with Roman, he'll kill me if I show back up there." Dean responded.
"Why were you two fighting?" Johnny questioned.
"Something about the escalating tension and I stupidly suggested that Seth and Mandy should fuck and get it out of their system." Dean explained, Amanda clamping her right hand to her mouth as her face turned red and Finn rested his right hand on her back as Johnny and Sami dragged Dean away.
"The hell has gotten into him?!" Amanda whispered after lowering her hand, Finn rubbing his up and down her back.
"I hope he won't remember it later." Finn responded before turning the lamp light off and wrapping his arms around Amanda before they stretched out and closed their eyes, giving into sleep.
