We all walk backstage, I left Aly to go back to the locker room because she needed something to drink.
"Alright, meet you there."
Aly grabs some water, but that's when she sees two shadows looming over her. She turns around and she's in the presence of Cody Rhodes and John Morrison.
"What do you two losers want?" Aly spats.
They look at each other then they grab her, and start dragging her out to the ring.
"Let me go! Mike! DC! Carly!" she exclaims as they drag her down the ramp.
They get to the ring and Morrison has Cody hold her over by the ropes. He goes and gets handcuffs and walks back over to Aly. He then handcuffs her to the ropes and goes over and grabs a mic.
"Miz, I demand you to come out here right now! I got Sadie, so come out here NOW!"
He waits and Aly is struggling in the handcuffs. Miz's music plays and he comes out.
"What on god's green earth are you doing? How dare you kidnap Sadie and handcuff her to the ring? Really? Really? You got issues John!" Miz exclaims coming out.
"Miz, I don't got issues. But there is something I want."
"Oh HELL no! YOU JACKASS!" Aly exclaims.
"Yeah? What is that?"
"It's simple really, I want Sadie." John shrugs and smirks at Miz.
"No way John. Let her go!" Miz exclaims.
"Ah ah ahh...no can do Miz. The only way she gets free is if you manage to beat me in a no disqualifications match." John taunts.
Miz stands there thinking about the stipulations.
"You're on!" he exclaims.
He then proceeds to drop the mic and rip his shirt off and walk down the ramp. Aly leans into him as he comes over.
"Be careful please."
"I will, he's not going to have you. Mark my words."
"I believe you. Love you Wonder Boy." she says smiling shakily.
He smiles back and gets into the ring and the bell sounds. They start off with a stare down. It gets about 3 quarters of the way through the match and as they're fighting outside the ring on the opposite side, and Aly remembers that in the past she's been able to get free from cuffs before.
"This better work."
Aly mumbles to herself while pulling down on the cuffs and twisting her hands in a certain way. Suddenly one hand slides free and then the other follows.
"Good thing this is a no DQ."
She give the fans a 'shhh' motion and reaches under the ring for a steel chair and slowly creeps around the ring to where John is beating up on Miz. She sneaks up behind him and wait for the opportunity to strike. She seizes the moment and hits him in the back making him go down. She hits him once more for good measure and drops the chair, going over to help Miz get into the ring before throwing John's limp body into the ring so Miz can get the pin. He slowly crawls over and covers him and he gets the pin. Aly slides into the ring and helps him get up, then leans into him still shaking lightly.
"Way to go Wonder Boy."
"How'd you get free?" he asks.
She holds up her red wrists.
"I have small wrists and he didn't make them super tight like he should have. They were pretty tight but not enough."
He hugs her happy that he won, but also in a way that he was thanking her for helping him win. She hugs him back and realizes how bad she's shaking so he looks concerned but she shakes her head.
"Not out here." she mumbles quietly.
He nods and helps Aly out of the ring and holds her as they walk backstage together. She waits until they get back to the locker room and sinks into the couch, covering her face with her shaking hands while almost crying.
"I've never been so freaked out in my life." she says through muffled tears.
We all sit around her, Miz right next to her.
"Talk to me about it Lyssa. Why were you?" he asks.
She's bent over, resting on her knees and shakes her head without lifting it up. I frown and bite my lip before speaking up.
"I think it's because she was cuffed to the ring and you were being beat up and she couldn't do anything about it. Nobody wants to see the love of their life being beaten and not being able to do anything about it." I explain.
He looks at me, then back at Aly in concern and then grabs her and pulls her to him to try calming her down. She buries her face in his chest locking her arms around his waist.
"You sound like you're speaking from experience." Alex says quietly and looking at me.
I look at him for a while before saying something.
"I am, what happened earlier tonight when Nexus came into the ring and started beating up on you. I was still outside that ring being held in place by Heath. I couldn't do anything."
He frowns and wraps his arms around me.
"Hopefully we won't end up in these situations again."
"If Cody leaves me alone, I still have 2 people to worry about trying to get me away from you Alex." I state.
"Well they won't have it easy by any means. I'm not letting you go." he says tightening his arms around me.
"I know. But you have no idea who these other people are do you?" I ask.
"One is Barret I'm guessing. I saw him giving you looks." he says.
"You're right about him, he is one of them." I state.
"Who's the other one?" he asks.
Mike looks over at me.
"Dibiase right?" he asks.
I look at him and nod.
"Yeah, it's rich boy."
Alex growls faintly.
"Well they aren't going to have you."
"I know, they keep trying but no success. I think Maryse is catching on to Ted about like
stalking me, so he may be backing off a bit."
"He better." Alex grumbles.
"Aly's also got 2 more people after her as well, not just John." I state.
Mike straightens up with a quiet growl.
"Who?" he asks.
"McIntyre and Gabriel." I state.
"They're in for it." he says with angry look on his face while rubbing Aly's back to help her calm down.
"Well did you notice Monday Night what happened to McIntyre? He had a bruise forming on his jaw and he was limping? Well Aly did that, and he rushed off with Cody afterwards."
He looks at Aly proudly.
"Good, he should learn not to mess with her."
"You know what I don't get? Since 2 members of Nexus are after us, why they're not trying to get us to join them along with Cena. Unless that's in their future plans."
Alex and Mike scowl.
"There is no way in hell I'm wearing one of those bumble bee shirts." I state.
"Yellow isn't really your color anyway." Mike snorts.
"But hey we did an...should I say it...awesome job surrounding Wade. Talk about a Nexus beatdown." I smile.
"That was awesome indeed." He says chuckling and looking down at Aly.
"She fell asleep."
"Well I have to change since I'm still in the pillow fight match attire, so just hold tight and we can head back to the hotel."
Mike agrees.
"Why change? Goes great with the jacket." Alex says referring to my jacket that I had made
and debuted tonight.
"Nice try, but I'm still changing." I say laughing.
"I guy can try can't he?" he says as I get up.
"Yes, but you fail almost everytime." I tease with a smile.
"I shall return." I say leaving and heading to the diva locker room to change.
~Alex & Mike~
"Man tonight's been one of the craziest night I've ever had." Alex says as he makes sure all of our stuff is together and ready to go.
"You'll get a lot of those." Miz says to him.
Alex agrees with a tilt of the head.
"True. I wish it wasn't so hard on the girls."
"They're tough, most things they can deal with themselves. But I wish the same thing."
"Do you think she'll be alright to show up on Smackdown tomorrow?" Alex asks looing at Aly.
"Well we'll see how she feels in the morning."
Alex nods and looks up to see me walking back in.
"Alright, ready to go?" I ask.
"Yeah."
Alex grabs his and Mike's bags while I grabs Aly's and mine since Mike is carrying her. We get back to the hotel and walk into the room.
"Going right to bed Mike?" I ask.
"Yeah."
"Alright night. Make sure she's okay." I say referring to Aly.
"Of course. Night guys." he says disappearing into the room.
"Ugh, I think I need to take a shower. Wash away the feeling of Nexus when they carried me out of the ring tonight. I didn't want them touching me...gross." I say disgusted.
"Can't say I blame you, some of them are a little...ehh." Alex says chuckling a little.
"Especially Rhodes when he was all grabby with me." I say shuddering.
"Stupid pretty boy." Alex grumbles.
"I shall be right back." I say grabbing clothes to change into and heading into the bathroom to take a shower.
Mike also decided to take quick shower, and he comes out ready for bed and sees Aly sitting up in bed clutching a pillow for dear life.
"Nightmare" she whispers, scooting to the edge of the bed so that she can get up and change into her pjs.
He looks at her in concern.
"You don't have anything to be afraid of okay? Get changed, we can sleep. Everything is going to be okay...I promise." He says to calm her down.
She picks up her clothes and sighs.
"I know but I just can't help it."
"Just remember, here...you're safe from everything."
She kisses him lightly, and goes to change. She comes back to the sound of 'I Need You Tonight' playing quietly and she looks at Mike with a small smile.
"I know music helps you and this was on your most played list." he says shrugging.
"That's because I love this song."
He laughs softly.
"I figured." he says opening his arms up.
"Come on, you need your sleep if you're going to be on Smackdown tomorrow."
"Depends on how I'm feeling tomorrow." she says.
"That's what I figured." he says as she climbs onto the bed and curls up beside him, her
head laying on his chest.
"Just go to sleep, I'm here and everything will be fine."
She slowly falls back asleep to the sound of the music playing and he sleeps soon after.
I come out of the bathroom feeling so much cleaner.
"That feels so much better." I say as Alex laughs.
"No longer will I have that gross feeling on my skin..blehh."
That's when I look at my arms and notice bruises.
"What the hell?"
Alex looks over and sees the bruises and growls.
"They bruised you! That's it, their asses are getting kicked!"
"Hey calm down okay? Don't go starting anything this time at night. Save it for tomorrow night."
He grumbles and leans back against the headboard.
"I'm fine though, okay? They don't even hurt."
"That's not really the point but I guess. I'm still kicking their asses though."
"I know, they deserve it. But let's just forget about everything and get a good night's sleep."
Alex agrees and slides down into his spot, lifting one arm so I can lay against him. I get in next to him and lay against him and his arm around me.
"Don't be getting all grabby in your sleep now." I joke.
"Can't control that babe." he laughs.
"If I can control it...sometimes...I think you can...sometimes."
"Key word being sometimes." he snickers.
"Right. Well night." I say shutting the light off.
"Night love."
