After a long media day today, it finally came time to get ready for the show tonight. Aly just finished getting ready, and walked out of the bathroom after doing her hair and everything. She sits on the bed and reaches for her shoes.
"So, anymore Rock imitations tonight?" She asks, giggling.
"No, I don't think so." Mike laughs.
"Too bad." She laughs.
"That was funny. In all honesty, the bald cap...couldn't take you seriously."
"I was laughing too hard." She adds.
"Glad to have amused you so much. But you have to agree, I pulled it off the whole gimmick pretty well."
"Yes, yes you did."
"But I do have a huge reveal tonight."
"Oooh."
"Before you ask...I'm not spilling. You're gonna have to wait."
"Aww." She pouts.
"Alex has big news too, that he'll reveal as well tonight."
"I don't get to know that either, do I."
"Nope, sorry."
She pouts again.
"You just have to make it through basically the whole show. Alex and I are closing it tonight."
"Oh that is so not fair."
"Sorry." He chuckles.
"Hmph." She says, putting on her jacket.
"The night will fly on by, don't worry."
"I hope so." She mumbles.
"Just don't think about it, and it'll fly by."
"I'll try."
"Good. Ready to go?"
"Yeah." She grabs her bag and laces their fingers together.
As they head out and down to the car, I've just come out of the bathroom with everything
done and my shoes on.
"Gonna be sneaky again tonight?"
"Not really." Alex chuckles.
"Then what are you doing tonight?"
"Its a surprise. You'll see."
"Well it's obviously something important...you're dressed up."
"All I'm saying is that I'm making an announcement tonight, and Mike's revealing
something." He adds.
"And no you don't get to know what that is either." He cuts me off.
"Awww you're no fun."
"Try not to think about it and time will fly by."
"I can try, but you may have to distract me at times."
"I can do that." Alex smirks.
"Of course you can do that."
"I'm just glad you're getting the tv time back."
"I know."
"But I'm ready to go, you?" I ask, grabbing my bag and putting on my jacket.
"Yeah." He nods.
We head out and down to the car, and we all make our way to the arena. We get there and as per the usual, we walk to our designated room.
"Anxious to hear the announcement from Alex, and the reveal from Mike?" I ask Aly, clearly seeing the look on her face.
"Yes. He won't tell me."
"Well if it makes you feel any better, Alex won't tell me either."
"Good because if he told you, I'd have a conniption."
"You honestly thought he was gonna tell me?"
"I don't know." She shrugs.
"It's gonna be a long night, blehhh."
"Yup." She sighs.
Eventually the show starts, and we see the ring. Then Justin introduces JR, and his music goes off.
"Hm...wonder what he's going to say this time."
But when he comes out, unfortunately it's not him. It's Michael Cole being the disrespectful
jerk he is, imitating him.
"Oh that's REAL funny. Not."
He walks around the ring, stopping in front of the announcer's desk. He whips the hat at
Jerry, and rushes into his little box.
"Someone should lock him inside there."
"That's why he has his own security...psh."
"You think they're tough? Please. We've taken out the old Nexus by ourselves, I think we
could handle two measely security guards."
"All I'm saying is that, if he interrupts in our match tonight...I'm clocking him."
"I want first shot, I warned him last week he was in trouble if he did it again."
"You got it."
"Good."
Then to start the show off, Hunter's music played and he walked out.
After his entrance, he gets into the ring and at one point he grabbed a mic.
"Almost 20 years in this business. That's a long time. Standing in this ring. As I walk out here I look at all of you, and I wonder to myself...could this be the last time I work in this building? Two weeks...is a defining moment of my entire career. In two weeks, it's the defining moment of the Undertaker's career."
"That is going to be a crazy match." Aly points out.
"Oh yeah, it'll also seem neverending."
"I hear everybody talking, I see the signs...19-0, 18-1, time to end the streak. The whole world is talking about this match. Two icons clashing like never before. The Undertaker, Triple H, No Holds Barred. I have no idea what this match will take out of me, I have no idea how much it'll take out of The Undertaker. I know neither one of us will ever be the same, I can assure you of that. This is...this is the biggest match I've ever been in, in my life."
"Well duh."
"That streak...18 years that streak has been bigger than any championship. Hell it might be bigger than all the championships I've ever held combined. And ending it, will be a career defining moment. You know...before we go to the ring in two weeks and tear each other apart, put each other through hell...I want you to do me a favor deadman. I want you to come here next week. I want you to stand in this ring, and one last time, one week before we collide...I want to look you in the eye. I want to stand face to face, man to man, and I want to tell you what is gonna happen in two weeks at Wrestlemania."
"Oh boy." We say.
"I am gonna look you in the eye and tell you...you will lose. I will end the streak. The thing is when it dies, so does the Undertaker. If I can't do it, I promise you I will die trying. But deadman, I want that one last opportunity...to stand face to face with you. Like your song says, ain't no grave can hold this body down right? When I end the streak, that's it, it's done. Undertaker at Wrestlemania, you go 18-1. Undertaker at Wrestlemania, you will
rest...in...peace."
"Close up much?"
His music plays but that's interrupted by someone yelling 'hey'. The camera pans to Ted walking out, to confront Hunter.
"Rich boy, you are going to get your ass kicked."
"One year ago, I was one of the...the rising superstars of WWE. I competed in my first Wrestlemania match against Randy Orton. And now this year, I'm just an afterthought."
"Uh yeah, 'cause you're lame!" I yell at the tv.
"Well I won't be an afterthought anymore, because I'm making my own opportunity. What if Triple H...what if I...I take out the cerebral assassin on live television two weeks before Wrestlemania?"
We look at each other and bust up laughing.
"Then people will have no choice, but to take notice of me...Ted Dibiase." He finishes, and climbs up onto the side of the ring to get in, but only to get knocked back down by Hunter.
"Pfft, what I dumbass." Aly shakes her head once she's gotten control of her giggles.
Then Hunter gets out, and goes after Ted immediately. He totally destroys him, ending it with a pedigree through the announcer's table like what he did to Sheamus.
"Told you Rich Boy." Aly snickers.
Hunter's music plays, and he points to the Wrestlemania sign. The screen changes and we see that John is going to respond to Mike's actions from last week. And with that little preview thing, they play the video of him imitating Rock. We both start laughing. Then the screen changes again with it just Mike on the screen with the words 'rewriting Miz-tory'.
"I'm not telling you." He says without looking at Aly.
"Boooooo..."
After the first commercial break, we're back in the ring with Sheamus...the United States Champion. Once his music fades, Evan's plays and he comes out.
"I hate to say it, but Evan stands no chance."
"Nope."
Just like we said, Sheamus won in the end with that vicious kick to the head. After the replay, Sheamus gets a mic to talk.
"I am now your new champion of the United States of America!"
But then Daniel Bryan's music plays.
"Ugh. The brat."
He walks out and down to the ring, picking up a mic on his way.
"Sheamus...Sheamus, one of the great things about this country...is that everybody gets an opportunity, no matter where they're from. Now as former United States Champion, I would like to invoke my rematch clause. And I'd like to do it...at Wrestlemania."
"Ooooh like that's a shocker." I say sarcastically.
Sheamus starts talking to Bryan, before throwing him the belt and kicking him in the head. He picks up the title and walks back up the ramp. Then after that we see that a Wrestlemania Rewind match will happen tonight, and it's Randy vs Rey.
"Boring."
"Watch Punk do something."
"Duh."
During the commercial break, the usual stagehand knocked on the door and said that Aly and I had to get ready for our match coming up next.
"Time to go kick some ass."
"And Maryse has no idea you're fully recovered from your injury."
Aly smirks and snickers. We give our rings to Mike and Alex, before grabbing our bags to head to the locker room.
"Hey! Forgetting something?" Alex asks.
"Oh course not." I smile, walking back over and kissing him quickly.
"I know I know." Aly laughs and says to Mike before he can speak up.
She walks over and kisses him too.
"Better?"
"Yes, better."
We both laugh and leave for the locker room.
"You know, I think we should go out individually...I can't wait to see the look on Maryse's face out there."
"I'm down with that." She smirks.
"This is gonna be great, as long as Cole doesn't interrupt."
"He better not."
"You know if he does and we try to go after him, his 'security' will step in."
"Psh, they'll be nothing compared to Wade and his bunch."
Then we get to the locker room and walk in, getting changed and everything for the match. Once we're done, we walk out and head down to the ramp to wait to come out individually. I go out first, glaring at Eve and to a lesser extent, Maryse. After doing all my things in the ring, I lean into one of the corners with an evil smirk on my face. They look at me, kind of puzzled. Then Aly's music hits and Eve goes 'Oh great' while Maryse starts flipping out. After her in-ring entrance, we decide that she'll go first against Maryse
The bell rings, and it seems like Maryse is going to start fighting, but she backs off with her little hand motion, followed by the hair flip thing. Aly starts mocking her, and then she and Maryse get into a verbal argument. Maryse starts yelling at her and whatnot, and goes to slap her. But her plan backfires because Aly slaps her instead, making her stumble away. Maryse suddenly starts attacking her. At one point she stumbles into the ropes, and Maryse pushes her throat into it. She backs away and goes to hit her, but Aly moves out of the way just in time...and Maryse falls to the mat. Then once Maryse and Aly get back up we hear Cole's voice.
"Ladies and gentlemen, can we get this over please?" We hear Cole interrupt...again.
"Oh he did not just interrupt."
All during the match, he talked. At one point you tagged me in so that I could finish the job of taking care of Maryse to make sure she never tagged in Eve at all. Aly glares over at Cole, still growling. Maryse counters a move of mine, and then gets me in the position for her finisher. But while she was distracted, I lifted her up on my shoulders and for the 2nd time in my career I used Alex's finisher and I pinned Maryse to win the match.
"Hah!" Aly laughs.
"Well thank goodness that's over. Now we can get onto business for the night."
Aly and I exchange looks and Aly nods subtly, both of us turning towards Cole's cubby. Cole looks at us confused, and only one of the security guys tries to hold us back, while the other protects the door to Cole's box. We take out the first security guy easily. That's when the next one comes over to restrain us, and we take him out as well. Cole is looking terrified at this point. Then Aly walks over to the doors, and opens them.
"What did I tell you about interrupting again?"
She grabs him and drags him out.
"You, are in a lot of trouble now."
She full out decks him once she gets him to stand up.
"Now, if you can respect Mike and Alex...learn to respect us!"
She kicks him and then steps back to let me have at him. At this point he's leaning back against the ring for support, and I walk up to him.
"This all started with my title match. Now you disrespected me, you're so lucky Alex isn't out here to deal with you. Because mark my words, buddies or not...you don't disrespect his fiancee."
Then I smack him hard across the face, shaking my hand after I back away.
"Disrespect us again and you REALLY won't like what happens." Aly hisses at him, kicking him again.
We walk away making our way around the ring, and back up the ramp, heading backstage.
"Oooooh that makes me so freaking mad." Aly growls as we walk backstage.
"I know...total disrespect. What did he have a attitude change towards us or something?"
"Apparently."
"Well he's been given a message tonight, hopefully it gets through that thick skull of his."
"If it doesn't...well we'll have to show him just why we're the next generation of DX."
"Oh yeah, that's for sure."
"Back to the room or to the locker room?"
"I say back to the locker room, I don't think we'll be doing anything else we need our ring
gear for."
"Right." She nods as we begin to walk that way.
We get to the locker room and change, then walking back out and back down to the room. We walk in from there, drop our bags on the floor and sit back down next to Mike and Alex.
"Stupid ass." Aly mumbles under her breath.
"Are you two okay?"
"Not really, no." I say, as calm as I can.
Aly just gives a quiet growl.
"I'm just...I don't know...aggravated."
"Agrravated, annoyed, disrespected, pissed off...not really sure we can pin one word to it."
"A jumble of emotions."
"Yeah."
And then as if it couldn't get any worse, the commercial break ended and we see Corre in the ring.
"Ugh! Now they're here, that's just flipping great."
We see a replay of what happened on Smackdown last week with Big Show and Corre and Kane. Then once the replay ends, we go back to the ring and then Santino and Kozlov come out...clearly to face Gabriel and Slater. But of course in the end Gabriel and Slater win due to cheating. And then they all attack Santino and Kozlov, that's when Big Show and Kane come out and totally destroy Corre.
"Hah!" We point and mock them.
The screen fades to John, talking to someone and in the top corner it says 'via satellite' and that's coming up next...apparently from his home.
"Anything else the world wants to piss me off with right now?" Aly throws her hands up in the air.
And it's like the world heard her, because after the commercial break we see that the Rock is going to be on Raw next Monday. She goes deadly quiet, her hands gripping the couch to the point of her knuckles turning white. After that we see the view of the city, and then another replay of what Mike did last week to John...imitating the Rock. Alex and I snicker but Aly has her eyes closed. After the preview/promo thing, the screen changes to John via satellite and of course Josh asks the first question, before John answers.
"Next week on Raw will be epic. It won't be the time for telling jokes, or talking about breakfast cereals or singing rap music. Next week on Monday Night Raw, I will be face to face with the Rock. And if we do have a problem, then next week on Monday Night Raw...that problem gets settled."
"Whatever Cena." Mike says.
"John uh..Jerry Lawler here. I just wondered if all of this attention that you focus on the Rock, has it taken your mind off your Wrestlemania opponent the Miz. Have you underestimated the Miz?"
"Yeah, yes I have. That's why the Miz has been able to do what he's been able to do, for the past 4 weeks. If there's any doubt in the WWE Universe on the ability of the Miz, the fact that I'm sitting home right now is proof. I know, but it's proof that Miz deserves to be the WWE Champion. It's also proof that he deserves the right to claim that he can change the face of the WWE."
"Sure, now you admit it." Mike rolls his eyes, while trying to get Aly to loosesn her grip on the couch.
"Haha...Miz dressed as Rock last week, that was one hell of a stunt. I'm sure that this uh...celebration tonight will be equally as creative. I know I won't be able to be there tonight, but I'll be watching. I truely hope tonight the Miz rewrites history. Because at Wrestlemania, I plan on making history."
"Whatever." Alex scoffs.
The screen changes to Cole, back in his little box...the results of our beatings given to him clearly showing. Mike and Alex snicker.
"Well ladies and gentlemen, John Cena and the Rock have a lot in common. While they're coming to you live via satellite, Michael Cole is here in Pittsburgh live and in person! And coming up next, I have for you another worldwide exclusive Mr. Lawler. Something that...you're not gonna want to miss. Next."
"Who cares about you." Aly glowers at the tv.
After the commercial, it's Lispy and Cole in the ring, running around. Lispy stands in front of the announcer's desk to keep Jerry at bay. The whole thing was pretty dumb, with Cole making fun of Jerry's family and whatnot. That ended with Cole giving Jerry the ankle lock he learned from Lispy.
"Retarded."
The screen changes to the matchup between Randy and Rey for their match tonight, before heading to another commercial. After the commercial they play the usual Wrestlemania promo thing with the number of days left until the day itself. We see more of the city, before going back to Cole ranting on and on again. After that, they show what happened last Monday between Snookie and LayCool, followed by all the media attention she got.
"Okay I need to go walk this off." Aly says, abruptly letting go of the couch and standing up.
Before anyone could say anything, she was already out the door. The three of us just look at each other like 'oookay...' She comes back a while later, and sits back down next to Mike while we were on a commercial break.
"Feeling better?" Mike asks quietly.
"Somewhat."
"That's good enough." He says, wrapping his arms around her, and pulling her close.
She leans into him and silently soaks up the comfort of being held. After the commercial a lot of things played, the new promo for the new WWE superstar coming soon...Sin Cara. That's followed by Cole and Josh, and then a long video plays with WWE superstars speaking out about the match between Hunter and Undertaker. Once that video was over, Randy's music played and he walked out for his match against Rey.
"This is a stupid match."
The match wasn't really that long, Randy was going to the place where he hears those voices in his head. He never got to strike, because Punk showed up on the tron.
"Hello Randall." Punk sings.
"That's creepy."
"How're you doing Randall Keith Orton. You know you're right, I don't know what sick and twisted is. But I do know that's a really nice bus, and I can't wait to meet your wife."
"Oh shit." Our eyes go wide.
Randy rushes out of the ring, and up the ramp heading backstage. We see him running through the backstage area, and reaching the parking lot. Randy gets to the bus, and rushes over to open the door only to be attacked by Punk with a wrench.
"Ouch."
Then Randy's 'wife' came out of the bus, standing in the doorway, screaming for Punk to stop, only for Punk to mock her and yell 'shut up' back to her.
"Punk seriously needs to be locked up or something." I comment.
"I bet right about now those voices you hear in your head, are telling you that you shouldn't have kicked McGillicutty, or Otunga or Mason Ryan. Now I don't think you'll be punting anybody in the skull at Wrestlemania. Now ain't that...a kick in the head." Punk says, then kicks Randy in the head.
"I think you've pissed off the Viper and once he's healed enough, he's going to hunt your ass down." Aly remarks.
Punk then looks at Randy's 'wife' again, as she glares at him. He smirks and blows her a kiss, before walking away. As soon as he's gone, she comes out of the bus and goes to Randy's side. Then she starts screaming for help, before the screen changes and we see that up next it's finally time for Mike to rewrite Miz-Tory.
"Finally we get to find out what the two of you are being so sneaky over." I say, while Aly nods.
Alex gets up as we're on the commercial break, and motions for me to get up as well. I look at him confused, but get up anyway.
"I guess we'll see you out there."
"Okay."
So Alex and I leave, and start walking down the hall to the direction of the ramp. We wait a while before going out and walking down the ramp, getting into the red carpeted ring with a table and something under a sheet on the table. I'm comfused but managed to hide it as I stand off to the side. Once we're back from the commercial, Aly and Mike were in the backstage area watching one of the tv screens near the entrance to the ramp.
"My name is Alex Riley! And 3 weeks ago I was fired as the Miz's apprentice. Well lucky for all of you, earlier this week I was rehired under a new job title, the vice president of corporate communications. So that being said, allow me to introduce the most must see champion in WWE history and the best man at my wedding. Ladies and gentlemen, the Miz!"
Mike offers Aly his arm and she takes it as they walk out. While they walk out, I'm standing there in the ring raising my eyebrow and giving Alex a look.
"Vice president of corporate communications..."
He just gives a small grin and chuckles.
"I like the sound of that." I smile.
"Of course you do." He laughs.
We wait as Aly and Mike get into the ring, and then Alex hands him the mic as his music fades. She comes and stands by me.
"This oughta be interesting." She murmurs.
"But I bet you John is going to interrupt."
"At least it's only via satellite."
"Or so we hope." Aly points out.
"You know in the 1970s, people would travel great distances to gather, so they could say
they saw Muhammad Ali box in person. In the 1980s, people would pay outrageous prices for the thrill of watching an in his prime Michael Jordan play basketball. Now in 2011, you people have been blessed with the honor of watching me."
"You know when I first started...people didn't take me seriously. You know some people said that I was annoying, but now look how far we've come. Now John Cena, like the Rock, like each and every one of you, hang onto every single word that I say. You know last week, I...imitated the Rock. Thank you, I know it was good..got you all."
We laugh.
"And it's ironic because while there has been many wannabe Rock clones over the years, the one person who imitated him correctly and amazingly, is the one person that is a one of a kind. A once in a lifetime original. I have rewritten history. Someone has come who has more charisma than Shawn Michaels. Who is physically more dominant than Andre the Giant. Who is far more intelligent than John Cena and the Rock combined. I...am the greatest WWE Champion in history."
"And we would agree." I say quietly and Aly nods in agreement.
"And in the process, I have become bigger than the entire WWE Universe, and every single one of you that's in it. I have flipped the WWE since day one. And that, is what I'm about to reveal symbolizes and celebrates." He continues, walking over to what's covered by the sheet, then taking the WWE logo thing off of the microphone.
"This...iconic WWE logo, I have flipped it upside down in the form of an 'M'." He adds, putting the flipped logo thing back onto the mic.
"Niiiice."
"And that 'M', stands for Miz. The time has now come, ladies and gentlemen...it is time to rewrite Miz-tory."
The lights go out and a spotlight is shined on the cloth, and we hear a drumroll until the sheet is removed to reveal the title, but with the WWE logo flipped on that as well.
"Oh my god, haha wow." Aly laughs a little.
Mike takes the case off and hands it to Alex who puts it down, then he takes the title and raises it up like he always does. Then he lowers it, and places it around his waist and motions for Aly to come over. She walks over and reaches to secure the belt. She finishes securing it, and he picks up the mic to talk again.
"This is what the WWE Championship will look like moving forward. It will no longer spin like a toy. You will look at this title as the most prestigious, most coveted title in the world. And I don't plan on being a multi-time champion, because I don't ever plan on losing this title. Because I'm the Miz...and I'm...awwweeesooome!"
Then we hear clapping and a bit of cheering, but we don't know where it's coming from until the tron change to reveal John.
"Jolly good show Miz, fantastic, moving, epic. I haven't seen something that emotional since the season finale of Flip This House. I mean you took the...the WWE logo and turned it into an 'M', for your name...because it begins with an 'M'."
I'm like 'Oh great', while Aly's wearing a scowl.
"Really good Miz, just like you beat me up. You see the WWE Universe knows that I'm not invincible, I can be hurt. The WWE Universe also knows something that you're about to find out. You should never make me angry. You see you two gentlemen have targeted the wrong individual, and in 13 days I will make history at Wrestlemania!"
Then we see people coming in and taking away the walls, couch and everything else to reveal John being in the arena.
"I told you." Aly says to me.
"Oh no! What's happened? I was supposed to be broadcasting tonight from my home. I am, for the past 9 years the WWE has been my home! And right now you two jackwagons are right in the middle of my living room and I'm coming to take out the trash!"
We both sigh frustratedly.
"Great."
We decide that it's our best bet to get out of the ring, considering John will try to go after Mike and Alex. Eventually John's music hits and he comes out, then takes all his gear off on the stage. Mike grabs the table to use in defense, and as Mike throws the table at John it misses and he gets into the ring where Mike and Alex gang up on him. The two of us are watching intently, hoping that nothing go wrong.
As John gets takes care of Alex, Mike manages to roll out of the ring and run up the ramp away from John. Alex rolls out of the ring, but gets right back in to go after John. He gives Alex the STF, and one ref comes running out to get John to let go. He doesn't of course, but Mike comes back and John lets go, staring Mike down. Another ref comes running down and John gets Alex in another STF, now two refs trying to get him to let go. Mike walks forward a bit and John lets go again which makes Mike stop in his tracks. And like the 1st and 2nd time, John puts Alex in the STF again and not letting go.
"What the hell!" Aly throws up her hands.
Another ref comes running down and now all three try to get John to let go, but he's struggling. John eventually lets go, and the refs attend to Alex.
"You go back with Mike, I'll deal with John this time." I say to her.
She shakes her head.
"I want in. Alex is more my brother than John is."
"Alright, let's go." I say, and we slide into the ring.
As John's turned around, I spin him around to face me showing a not so pleased look on my face. Aly's standing slightly behind me, a matching look on her face as well.
"What the hell John? I forgive you for getting Alex fired, and now you go and do this? He did nothing to you lately."
"Using Alex to try and goad Mike into attacking doesn't work and you knew that, so why do it?" Aly adds.
"Of all the things you could do due to your anger, this is the worst."
"Car-" John starts to say.
Aly sees the look on my face.
"Uh-oh here it comes."
WHACK!
"It's gonna take a while for me to forgive you this time..."
John's clutching his face from me slapping him. I shoot him one last glare efore going over to check on Alex. Aly steps up and stares at John silently for a minute. He lets go of his face and she goes to walk away. At the last second she stops, turns, and full out decks him.
"That was for Carly AND Alex." She snaps before walking away.
Along with the all three refs' help, we get Alex out of the ring and help him backstage. Mike is waiting for us back there and Aky hands him the things he left behind. We bring Alex down to the trainer's to get him checked out, and we wait outside the room. Aly leans against the wall, frowning as she rubs her knuckles. I stand there still fuming with anger, arms folded across my chest and looking down at the floor. Mike is looking back and forth between us, wondering what he should do.
"I think I'm gonna go get some air, if I stay inside this arena any longer I'm gonna end up punching a wall or something, and I don't want to end up breaking my hand or whatever." I say, after a bit.
"Okay. I'll text you when we're coming out." Mike replies.
I nod, and start walking back to the room to grab my things, then head outside.
"You're not going to punch anything are you?" Mike looks at Aly.
"No, I got my shot in on him. I put as much into that as I could to make sure it hurt." She mumbles, still rubbing her hand.\
"Do you need ice or anything?"
"Maybe." She nods a little.
"Alright, I'll be right out." He says, going into the trainer's to get ice.
Mike comes back out and she takes the ice from him.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome." He smiles.
And not too long after that, Alex walks out.
"Feeling better?"
"Yeah, just a bit."
"I'm glad." She hugs him.
"Now we just have to get our stuff."
He nods, and they all head back to the room to get their things, before heading out of the room and outside. I'm standing by the car as they walk up. I immediately hug Alex and burrow into his arms.
"I'm going to be fine." He reassures me, pressing a kiss to my forehead.
"I know, but what happened still worried me."
"I know." He replies.
"I'm just tired of this, again always the one being attacked or whatever."
"Not much I can really do about it." He sighs.
"But let's put this aside for the night."
"Yeah, you're right." I nod.
We all pile in the car and go to the hotel.
