1/15/18…

Kurt noticed the tension in the AT&T Centre had increased amongst the two old friends… thinking of an idea, he had Amanda and Joe meet up in the office and locked them in.

"Crazy fucker." Joe muttered.

"I've known crazier… he'll cave at some point." Amanda said dismissively as she propped her feet up on the desk, Joe seeing a new tattoo on her right wrist and realising what it was, Balor… Joe reached over, swatting Amanda's right knee. "What now?" She responded after looking at him, Joe gripping her tattooed wrist and looking back at her with narrowed eyes.

"How do you suppose you'll correct this if he dumps you on a sidewalk and drives off into the night?! Or how Nikki will fix things when John breaks up with her?!" Joe questioned.

"Great, now you're acting like Little Miss Bliss and implying that Finn and I or John and Nikki won't last long! You've known me since I was 15, why don't you see me as a friend anymore?!" Amanda replied after pulling her wrist away, the door being slammed open and both jumping up as Kurt attempted to calm Finn.

"One of these days, you're gonna get hurt really badly!" Kurt said as Amanda helped Finn sit down and saw a cut on his head.

"Ní mór duit a bheith cúramach i ndáiríre." Amanda responded, pressing a washcloth to Finn's head.

"Tá mé ceart, mo ghrá." Finn replied before turning to Joe. "And you? I thought I knew you better than this. Now I know why you never introduced me to Mandy nearly 13 years ago, you didn't want things changing between you and her." He said before Enzo and Dianne ran in.

Enzo handed Amanda a tissue when she sneezed and coughed, Amanda blowing her nose before tossing the tissue and rubbing Purell on her hands as Finn held the washcloth to his wound with one hand and rested the other hand on Amanda's back after she sat down… while it hadn't been the flu, Amanda had caught a respiratory infection and the resulting cough was hanging on like a boa constrictor to its prey.

"Not much better, kiddo?" Kurt asked.

"I still get that twinge in my lungs where it feels like they're being squeezed but only for a few seconds." Amanda answered as Finn rubbed his hand up and down her back.

Dianne turned to Joe and slapped him.

"Well, ow!" Joe said, rubbing his face.

"All of this, everything you did… over some childish jealousy?! Let me tell you something, there was someone once who I liked a lot, he made someone else his world and you know what I did? Cried a couple times, then accepted simple friendship and moved on, not try to ruin every other relationship they had!" Dianne responded angrily.

"Out, all of you!" Kurt said, the five leaving… when Finn was being patched up, Dr. Amann also checked Amanda over and then turned the humidifier on for her, Amanda a bit perplexed as there hadn't been the need to use one since she was 5 and had a bad case of bronchitis.

Raw went on, being as chaotic as it could… and then it was main event time. But when Jason tried to trip Finn, he got tackled and beaten up by Amanda and then Seth grabbed her by her hair.

Finn grabbed Seth and threw him down to the mat with a 1916 DDT before climbing up to the top turnbuckle and executing the Coup De Grace before pinning him. The bell rang and Finn got out of the ring and him and Amanda hugged and kissed.

And watching in the back, Joe knew he had to sort things out…

Present time…

He looked around for her and it wasn't long until he saw both her and her boyfriend… and Amanda's hazel eyes widening in shock.

Immediately, she ran to him and they hugged.

"Phil…" Amanda managed to responded as they let go and the two as well as Finn sitting down after he caught up with them… Phil Brooks, best known as CM Punk, had been gone from Amanda's life after leaving WWE almost 4 ½ years earlier.

"Ace said that you'd be here… I missed you, kid." Phil replied, calling their friend Aestrid by their nickname for her.

"You talked to Ace?" Amanda asked, absentmindedly fixing her straightened hair back into its ponytail… and straightening her hair is something both knew was something she did when stressed.

"Yes and she's confused about it like you are." Phil answered, Finn rubbing his right hand up and down Amanda's tattooed left wrist… before Phil turned and saw him. "Hey, get over here!" He called out, Samoa Joe walking over and sitting down.

Joe noticed that Amanda looked away from him and saw Finn lightly squeeze Amanda's hand.

"Hey… I'm sorry. I shouldn't have acted how I did, kiddo." Joe apologised, Amanda looking at him.

"Damn right you shouldn't have, that was wrong of you… well, half wrong of you." Amanda responded before she saw John walk into the hotel lobby… and stood up, walked over and slapped him hard across the face.

"Ow!" John replied, his left hand going to his face as Finn ran over and pulled Amanda back.

"Really?! Why didn't you tell me, John?! I found out through the media, that was damn low of you!" Amanda yelled, Finn keeping his arms around Amanda's waist as Phil and Joe reached them.

"Guys, go back to the table, please." Finn responded, Phil and Joe nodding and heading back before he turned to John. "You should've told your sister… she was in tears when she found out!" He said through gritted teeth.

"I should've… but I didn't know how to break the news because I knew either way, Mandy would be upset." John replied before turning to Amanda. "I really am sorry, Sis." He responded.

"Sorry's not gonna cut it this time, John… you spent 6 years with Nikki, got her hopes up only to break her heart. That was damn cruel of you." Amanda replied, shoving John's hands away when he tried to hug her. "You need to fix things, John!" She said before heading back to the table with Finn, John leaving.

"It'll calm down, love… just give it time." Finn responded as he rubbed his right hand up and down Amanda's back.

At the arena, Amanda was walking around when she saw John talking to a woman who she initially thought was Nikki… until she realised it was Billie Kay and how they were talking was bordering on flirting, Billie squeezing John's ass and John laughing.

The petite diva stormed over and backhanded Billie, who screamed in shock and pain.

"You are fucking married, you sleazy little bitch! Go find your husband and squeeze his ass if you're that attention starved!" Amanda yelled as John pulled her back from Billie, who stormed off… and Amanda turning back to John. "And you are fucked in the head! Barely broken up with Nikki and you're cozying up to someone!" She shouted before storming off.

John had a feeling that his sister had lost all respect for him.
