I slept awfully peaceful overnight, not really feeling any pain from my hand thank god. But I wake up the next morning, to Alex already awake and looking at me.
"...morning...?"
"Morning." He kisses my forehead.
"How's your hand?"
"It feels fine."
"Good."
"Did you get much sleep last night? Or were you up all night worried about me?"
"I slep alright."
"That's good. I slept alright myself...not the best night's sleep I could've gotten though."
"Right."
"I'm sure sleep didn't come easy for her in there." I motion to the connecting door to our rooms.
"I doubt it." Alex sighs.
"Tonight will definitely be rough for her..." I say sighing, lacing my fingers of one hand with one of his.
"Yeah."
"If that was you last night...I don't know what I would've done to be honest..."
"Hopefully you won't have to find out."
"I really hope not, you already went through something simular...I don't want it to happen again."
Alex nods.
"That's always my number one concern..." I say quietly, tucking my head under his chin.
"I know." He slides his arms around me.
"And that's also my number one concern about you." He adds.
"Of course."
"I love you...always will." I add, kissing him on the cheek.
"I love you too. Forever." He says back and kisses my cheek as well.
Then in the meantime Aly's awake because she hasn't gotten much sleep and she couldn't go back to sleep. She just kept her eyes on Mike, making sure he's okay. She's sitting at the table on her laptop, energy drink in hand. Every minute or so she looks up from her computer and watches him for a few minutes before looking back down. After a while, he stirs and he's facing her when he opens his eyes.
"Morning." She says softly.
"Morning...you're up a bit early."
"Couldn't sleep."
"Nightmares?" He asks, and she nods slowly.
"I kept waking up and checking on you."
He sighs and slowly gets up, walks over to her and wraps his arms around her. She leans into him, trying not to cry again.
"I know it's natural reaction to worry, but the trainer said I'd be fine as long as I take it easy
for a week."
"I know, but it's harder because of my sports medicine background. I know all those things
that can happen with concussions. It scares me."
He frowns and hugs her tightly. She gets up from her chair so she can hug him properly.
She lays her head in the crook of his neck and shoulder.
"I can't have you getting seriously hurt, if you had done any more damage to your head...you would've left on a stretcher with a neckbrace." She mumbles.
"I thought my heart was going to stop when I realized you weren't getting up." She adds, a
few tears escaping.
He feels the tears when they hit his shoulder, he pulls away from the hug and takes her face
in his hands.
"I'm still here, and I'm fine. I'm not going anywhere." He says, wiping whatever tears escape
away.
She gives him a watery smile and puts her hands on his, closing her eyes and relishing in
his touch. He presses his lips to her forehead, and keeps them there for a bit, before
embracing her in another hug.
"I love you...so so much..." She says, muffled against his shoulder.
"And I love you so so much, maybe even more than that." He replies.
She can't help but laugh.
"There's that laugh I like to hear." He smiles.
She giggles quietly.
"Are you sure you'll be alright to go out on Raw tonight? Whenever that will be?" She asks,
pulling back from the hug after calming down.
"I'll be fine." He assures her.
"Good." She nods, smiling slightly before stifling a yawn.
"Why don't you get some sleep? You'll need it in order to be awake for Raw tonight." He
says, seeing her trying to hide the yawn.
She mumbles a protest, pointing at the energy drink she set on the table.
"You're still yawning though..."
"Hasn't set in yet." She says whining a little.
"...alright then, you don't have to sleep."
"I wouldn't turn down some cuddling..." She compromises after seeing him frown.
His frown turns to a smile, and he pulls her back over to the bed. She laughs a little and
climbs onto the bed with him.
"Try not to fall asleep." He laughs.
"Haha very funny."
"I am very funny, thank you for the compliment."
"You are such a goofball." She laughs.
"YOUR goofball." He says, putting emphasis on 'your'.
"Yes I know. All mine."
"And you love me."
"Very much."
"Even though you worry me sometimes...I still love you very much." She adds.
"I don't try to worry you. And I love you too."
~Fast Forward~
We've all gotten to the arena, after getting ready not to long ago for the show. Tonight's going
to be interesting for sure since it's the night after Wrestlemania and we're still in Atlanta. As
of now we're just chilling out in the usual room until the show starts. I'm cuddling with Alex
while Aly does the same with Mike.
"Bowtie again Alex?" I ask, giggling and noticing the bowtie.
"Yes." He says dryly.
"I think I can get used to it."
He smiles at me.
"Yeah, you look so cute DC." Aly comments, giggling.
"Cute?" Alex makes a face.
"Oh you know what I mean...in the brotherly sense."
"...thanks?"
I just shake my head and laugh at his confusion. Mike snickers and she laughs. Eventually
the show starts with the intro and then the pyros. We see that John is going to call out the
Rock, before the music fades and Hunter's plays and he walks out.
"That was one hell of a match."
"Oh yeah, I only hope Taker is okay...he couldn't stand let alone walk after that match."
"I know, hopefully everything's okay."
He does his usual entrance to the ring, before posing on the turnbuckles a few times. He
gets down and is handed a mic, standing in the middle of the ring as his music fades and
people cheer. People start chanting 'Triple H' which is mixed with cheers and whistles.
"I got to tell you this is the most tired, and beat up I think I've ever been in my life."
"I bet." We laugh.
"Last night, 71,000 fans...in the Georgia Dome...I stood in the ring at
Wrestlemania...against the Undertaker and the undefeated streak. And I got to tell you right
now...I have never been a nervous guy, I have never been an emotional guy, I have never
been a guy that gets rattled. But I stood in that ring last night with 71,000 fans watching, and
when that gong hit and he walked down that ramp...I almost hyperventilated. I've never been
that nervous in my life."
"I can only imagine. Yeesh."
"And I've wrestled the Undertaker before you know? I've...hell I've wrestled him at
Wrestlemania before, but never like this. Never...that undefeated streak has become
everything to him. It's bigger than anything, and uh...he's willing to absolutely destroy
himself to keep it intact. I hit him harder than I have hit any man in my entire life."
"Well yeah...it's huge." I comment.
"I beat on him like no man I have ever beat on in my entire life, and he just kept getting up.
He just kept coming. You know we uh...we've both left absolutely everything we had...in that
ring last night. Apparently for me it wasn't good enough. Um...you know...I hear a lot of
people talking today about that match. I'm telling you right now, I don't know...you call it what
you want. You can call him a phenom, you can call him the deadman, you can call it
supernatural, but ain't no main alive ever walked through my stuff like that. And no man alive
has ever been hit, like I've been hit by him and just kept coming."
"And I'm struggling with it today...I guess it's just willpower, because you can call him all
those things but what saw getting carried out of that arena on the back of a stretcher was a
man. A man that is willing to destroy himself to keep that streak intact."
"Yeah, that's true."
"Now a lot of people are talking today that the fact that he got carted out, and that he is just a
man, and that he left everything he had that he'll never be the same. Hell I'll never be the
same, but a lot of people are saying...that's it, he's done and he won't be back."
"Oh no. He'll be back." I say and everone nods.
"If that's the case then...I mean I'm not buying it, but just in case...I wanted to come out here
and say one thing." He says, taking off the sunglasses. "And uh...I just wanted to say thank
you deadman. Thank you. You gave me the fight of my life. Thank you. And here's the
thing, 'cause I don't believe you won't be back, not after what I felt last night. Not after that
magic...you'll be back. And when you're back, I'll be waiting." He finishes, dropping the mic
and his music hits.
"Nice."
He exits the ring, and walks back up the ramp. The cameras go back to Jerry and JR, before
we go to a commercial. After the commercial break we see the city view of Atlanta, then we
see that Stone Cold is gonna be on Raw tonight. Again we're back with JR and Jerry, before
we hear 'Can I have your attention please'.
"Nope."
"Can I have your attention please?" We hear Cole repeat and he walks out in that ridiculous
old school wrestling gear again.
"Would it kill him to put some decent clothes on...?"
"I know right?" I'm kind of grossed out."
"Can I have your attention please? Despite overwhelming odds last night, history was made
at Wrestlemania. Despite biased refereeing from Stone Cold Steve Austin, Team Cole
emerged victorious!"
"And nobody cares."
"I overcame every obstacle to defeat YOU Jerry Lawler. When Wrestlemania was over, the
world wasn't talking about the Rock, it wasn't talking about the Undertaker's undefeated
streak at Wrestlemania. The world was talking about me, the world was talking about
Michael Cole."
"No we weren't. Shut up."
"The WWE Universe was talking about how I stole the show. How I am now 1 and 0,
undefeated at Wrestlemania. And now with Shawn Michaels now inducted into the WWE
Hall Of Fame, the WWE Universe will now and forever refer to me as Mr. Wrestlemania!"
"Bullshit. That is Shawn and always will be."
"Cole, may I have your attention please? Will you please shut your piehole? First of all you
didn't beat anybody last night. A stupid computer beat me, if you know what I mean. I made
you tap out Michael Cole, and you were crying like a little girl!" Jerry interrupts.
We all laugh. Then everyone starts chanting 'you tapped out'.
"So you see Michael Cole, in YOUR record book you may go down as the winner. But you
will forever be known as a worthless jackass."
"That's real cute Jerry, way to be a mature adult...way to stand up like a man. Hey, listen get
over it. I beat you, even with Stone Cold Steve Austin you could not beat me. Stone Cold
manhandled me, and then you took advantage of that. Why don't you admit to the world that
I'm a better athlete, and that I'm a better man."
"No you aren't. Oh my god just make him shut up!"
"In fact, in order to prove that I'm the better man, I've got a proposition for you. How about
you...have a rematch tonight? How about it Jerry? Why don't you prove to the world that
you're still 'The King'."
"A rematch tonight? Yeah okay Michael Cole, you're on."
"Oh great." Aly rolls her eyes.
"Let's do it right now." Jerry says, taking off his shirt to reveal himself already in his gear
while Cole starts walking down the ramp, and Jerry gets into the ring.
"Oh Jerry Jerry, I...I forgot one thing. I'm not talking about a Wrestlemania rematch. Why
would I do that? I've already beaten you. I'm talking about a rematch of your match from last
week on Monday Night Raw...against this man..." Cole trails off, and then Lispy's music
plays.
"Pointless and stupid. I'm not paying attention to this." Aly shakes her head, choosing to lay
her head against Mike's neck.
Lispy walks out and down the ramp to where Cole is, then they both start doing pushups.
The match was pointless really, and in the end Jerry lost to the ankle lock. But since Lispy
wouldn't break the hold, the ref changed his decision and Jerry wins by DQ. Cole is furious,
then goes over to JR then goes into his box and grabs BBQ sauce and after a few moments
squirts it all over JR.
"Wow, what are you...three?" I comment.
"Apparently."
"He's more immature than the Brat...and that's pretty bad." Aly remarks.
JR whips the headset at Cole, and that's when Cole starts running for the hills as JR went
after him. As they make their way towards the ramp, Cole is still squirting the BBQ sauce
before he whips the bottle at JR. From there he runs up the ramp and backstage, while JR
walks his way up and back. Then we see the matchup for the next match which is Randy
and Rey vs Punk and Rhodes, before we go to another commercial.
"That isn't worth paying attention to either."
"Not really." I agree.
I snuggle closer to Alex while Aly burrows deeper into Mike's arms. After the commercial
break they played the replay of what Cole did, and we hear him rant on and on and on.
Thank god Randy's music cut him off.
"Thank god."
After Randy gets into the ring, his music fades and Reys hits. Then of course after his music
fades, Cody's hits. He takes his time getting to the ring, and finally Punk's music plays and
he walks down the ramp and gets into the ring. We didn't really pay any attention to the
match, and in the end Randy and Rey won..with Cody getting the 619 and RKO.
"Haha." I snicker.
Again we see that John is gonna be calling out The Rock, and then we see Stone Cold
backstage and he's walking to the ring. That's when he stops and Hunter comes onto the
screen.
I don't know if it's ever gonna happen again, but if it does...I'll be there. Hell of a match."
Stone Cold says, holding out his hand.
"Thanks man. Means a lot."
Stone Cold smiles, and continues on his way to the ramp.
"Nice."
After the commercial break we see another thing on Sin Cara, and then we go back to the
ring where after a few seconds Stone Cold's music hits and he walks out and down to the
ring. He gets a mic as his music fades.
"Oh hell yeah!"
We watch with mild interest.
"We got Tough Enough making it's premiere, immediately following Monday Night Raw. So if
you're ready for some Tough Enough give me a hell yeah."
The crowd screams it.
"I damn near heard you, I said give me a hell yeah!"
Everyone screams it louder.
"That's what I thought! I want to bring these kids out here right now, line them up and let's
see what they got. Bring them kids on out to my ring."
"Should be interesting..."
The music for Tough Enough plays, and one by one the contestants walk out and down the
ramp. Then one by one they get into the ring and line up around it.
"Alright how's everybody doing here tonight? Ladies and gentlemen, I got 14 men and women here, and we're gonna put them to the paces Stone Cold Steve Austin style. I'm gonna break out my staff of trainers Bill Demott, Booker T, and the lovely lovely Trish Stratus."
"Eh..."
"We're gonna open up a can of whoop ass on these kids, and you're looking at 14 fine
human beings right now. By the time I get through with them, there will be one and one only,
and that's gonna be Stone Cold's choice, and that's just the way it is. And that's all I got to
say about that. I'm gonna toss a horn around and let these kids introduce themselves. Tell
you who they are, and get a chance to meet a future WWE superstar or a future WWE Diva,
and let you find out something about these fine folks in my ring."
"I think we need to take a little...walk." Mike comments out of nowhere and Aly knew instantly
what he was talking about.
"You're going out there...to insult Stone Cold...with a concussion."
She's clearly not happy with this, drawing back to fold her arms over her chest.
"I'll be fine."
"Its Stone Cold. you think he's just going to let you insult him and walk away?"
"I'll be careful, plus I have a plan."
"I still don't like this."
"If you don't want to come out, that's fine. Alex and I are going though."
"Oh no, I'm going out there. I just want to make sure you're aware that I really don't like this."
"I know you don't like this...but I promise you I will be careful."
"Okay."
We all get up, and head out to the entrance to the ramp. From there we watch the
introductions.
"Pass that horn around, and introduce yourself son." He says to the first guy with the blonde
hair.
"My name's Ryan Howe, I'm 23 years old from Louisville Kentucky. I'm a Rock N' Roller, and
I want to be a wrestler baby, that's why I'm here."
"He reminds me of Slater...except he's the blonde version."
"I know right?"
"Keep it short and sweet, you're in my ring pass that horn."
"Hi I'm Christina Crawford and I...and I'm a future WWE Diva."
"Yeah so you think." I roll my eyes.
"Youuuu keep thinking that."
"Ariane Andrew, and I am the next WWE Diva."
"Luke Robinson, Auburn Maine. Future legend."
"What's up Atlanta, Georgia? Jeremiah Riggs, I'm from Vicksburg Mississippi. Always
representing the dirty south."
Good evening Atlanta. I'm very happy to be here today, and I just want you all to know that
you can be hot, sexy and tough. And that is Miss USA 2010, Rima Fakih from Dearborn
Michigan."
"Miss USA? Really?"
"Apparently."
"My name is Michael Zaki, and ain't nobody tougher than me."
"What's up Atlanta, Georgia!" She says in english, then says something in Spanish.
"Uh...english please?"
"Just shut up, we already have Muffin Top and his sidekick speaking Spanish, we don't
need you too."
"I come from the beautiful island of Puerto Rico, and I'm here to give...and I'm here to give
the WWE fans what they want. And that's the best entertainment that they've ever seen."
"My name is Eric Watts, and I'm from beautiful sunny southern California."
"Nice hair too." I laugh.
Aly laughs too.
"My name is Matt Capiccioni, and I'm from Cleveland Ohio."
"Oh god..."
"Oh great."
"My name's Michelle Deighton, and I'm from North Carolina, and I am definitely good looking
enough to be a diva."
"It's not all about looks..."
"She needs to go home if she thinks its about looks."
"My name's Martin Casaus from Salt Lake City, Utah...I cannot wait to wrestle for the WWE
Universe."
"You need to win in order to do that."
"Yup."
"Fine looking...fine looking bunch of human beings." Stone Cold trails off until the crowd
starts chanting 'stun them all'.
"And you know it takes an extreme amount of commitment to make it in this square circle."
That's when Mike signals for his music to hit. It does, cutting off Stone Cold. We walk out
with Mike and Alex, Mike holding the WWE title and myself holding the Divas title...Alex is
cracking up laughing and whatnot as we stand at the top of the ramp. Aly looks a little
amused as she holds Mike's other arm.
"You're absolutely right Stone Cold. Just look at me, back when I was on Tough Enough in
2004, all I heard were voices telling me to go back to the Real World. But after last night, no
one will ever tell me where to go ever again."
"You want to talk about being tough enough? You want to talk about valor and
determination? Then look at this..." Mike says pointing to the tron where they replay footage
from last night and his head bouncing off the concrete which we didn't necessarily see last
night.
Aly cringes and bites her lip.
"Last night I had a concussion that would've ended most men's careers. But not only did I
continue, I went on to retain the WWE Championship!" Mike continues after the footage
ends, and we start walking down the ramp.
"Now, well the 14 of you will never achieve the success that I have, you can always dream. I
just headlined Wrestlemania and beat John Cena!"
Aly and I try not to growl at the mention of John.
"I am the most must see WWE Champion in history! I am the new face of the WWE!" He
exclaims as he walks up the steps and gets into the ring...followed by us.
"Move Buckwheat." He says to Eric.
We hold back a snicker.
"So get a good, hard look. Soak it in, because this...is the closest you're going to get to a
WWE Championship."
Then I quickly grab the mic from him to say a few things myself.
"And you all should get a good, hard look at this. Because this is also the closest that you're
going to get to a Diva's Championship."
Alex and Aly both laugh.
"I plan on keeping this title for a long time. And if one you so called future divas win Tough
Enough. I hope you don't make the choice of coming after me, because that would be a very
bad decision." I add, handing the mic back to Mike.
Aly nods in agreement. That's when we notice all the guys in the ring basically checking us
out, and we roll our eyes. I wiggle the fingers of my left hand at them, causing my
engagement ring to sparkle. Aly reaches up and tucks some of her hair behind her left ear,
making sure they see the rings sitting on her finger.
"And to all of you, that means...eyes off." Alex says, grabbing the mic from Mike for a
moment, after seeing us showing the guys our rings, then handing it back to him.
Aly and I laugh and even Stone Cold looks amused at the trainees being called out. Then
Mike turns to look at Stone Cold.
"What is it Steve? You want to hold my WWE Championship too?" Mike asks, Alex still
cracking up and Stone Cold has a smile on his face.
"Wait uh...are you thinking what I'm thinking? Do you think you have one more run? I bet you
think you're tough enough."
The crowd starts chanting 'One more match'.
"You hear em' Steve? You hear what they're saying? What do you say, we clear this ring and
find out if you can have one more match."
Aly looks at Mike incredulously.
"Clear the ring."
"Oh no..."
Alex looks at us and motions for us to go out of the ring.
We hesitate, but get out of the ring and watch from ringside concerned as Mike and Stone
Cold stare each other down.
"Please don't." Aly whimpers quietly.
Out of nowhere when Stone Cold was distracted Mike gave him a cheap shot and quickly
got out of the ring, while Alex went after Stone Cold. My eyes are glued to Alex, hoping he
doesn't get hurt. Aly immediately goes over to Mike.
"You had me worried..." She mumbles, somewhat clinging to him.
"I know, I'm sorry."
"Try to warn me next time please."
"Promise." He nods.
She nods slightly and turns her attention to Alex. But Stone Cold turns the tables and starts
beating up on Alex. Alex turns the tables for a brief moment, before Stone Cold takes over
again. He waits for Alex to get up before giving him the Stunner, which makes him roll out of
the ring. I'm instantly at his side, checking him over with a worried look. He groans in pain,
holding the back of his head/neck.
"Not one of your greatest plans...again."
"I know." He groans.
"Come on..." I say, helping him up.
He leans on me a little as the two of us walk towards Mike and Aly. The four of us then head
backstage. We get back to the room, just in time to see Stone Cold spill the beer on Cole
again.
"Hahahaaa..."
"That's payback for last night."
"Yup."
After Stone Cold and the trainees leave, we once again see that John is gonna call out Rock
tonight before we go to a commercial.
Need me to take care of that neck of yours?" I ask Alex, after looking over and see him still
holding it.
"Please." He replies.
"You know I'm always here to help." I say, starting to work on his neck.
"You've got to stop getting into these bad situations."
"I don't try to, it just happens." He mumbles.
"One of these days, something's gonna happen to you. I don't want anything happening to
you."
"I know."
After the commercial break, we see Ricardo in the ring...that only means one thing.
"Oh great...Del Douche."
"Nice name." Aly laughs.
"Thank you." I laugh too.
He comes out without the fancy car tonight, shortly after him Brodus Clay walks out. Del
Rio's match was against Evan.
"Yeah, Evan's gonna lose."
"Yup, poor guy."
In the end we were right, Evan lost and we went to another commercial. When we came
back, a video package of Wrestlemania Axxess played. They got to the part where some
WWE superstars were playing golf. They showed Booker T, Big show, Kofi, the Bellas,
Daniel Bryan who hit the ball into the pond.
"Pfft, fail."
"Haha!"
Then we see Mike.
"I just got a birdie putt, I am like Chi Chi Rodriguez. I'm the Miz and I'm awesome...at golf."
"Dork." Aly giggles.
More things were played, before going back to Booker T and Josh Matthews ringside. Cole
butts into the conversation ranting on again and Josh just goes 'oh my god'. He rants on
until we hear 'excuse me'.
"Hi Vickie!" Cole stops, waving.
"Not her." We groan.
"Excuse me! I have something to say! Snooki beat LayCool, this is all LayCool's fault! Dolph
had nothing to do with our loss last night, because Dolph is full of perfection."
"Yeah okay."
"Psh yeah right."
"Congratulations John Morrison, you finally got your big Wrestlemania win, your big
moment. Or should I be congratulating Snooki? Hey who knows? Let's see what you can do
without the most talented member of your team. So why don't you and Trish come down to
the ring, join us and see if you two can do what you do best. Not get the job done." Dolph
adds, his music hits and then he and Vickie walk down the ramp as we go to commercial.
"How about no one cares?"
After the commercial, Morrison comes out and then Trish. The match was pretty pointless
really, and in the end Morrison won for him and Trish. After that win, we go to another
commercial and when we came back the next match was for the United States
Championship.
"Okay so clearly the brat is gonna lose."
"Yeah. What is with all the retarded matches tonight?"
"It's the night after Wrestlemania, I guess Creative didn't want to work as hard."
"Guess not. I suppose its because most of us that competed last night are too beat up."
Sheamus' celebration in the end was short lives as this music played and the lights went
out. The camera moves to the stage, and we see the new WWE superstar Sin Cara who
points at Sheamus and runs down the ramp, jumping up and over the top
rope...immediately going after him.
"Nice."
The attack ends with a high flying cross body before he runs back up the ramp and onto the
stage. They show the replay, before showing that John will call out Rock up next and we go
to a commercial. After the commercial, and a few moments John's music plays and the
crowd erupts into a mixture of cheers and boos...a majority of them in the beginning
sounding like boos. I growl and glare. Aly just closes her eyes and hides in Mike's chest,
her arms tight around him. After the usual routine, he grabs a mic to talk of course.
"I know I know I know I know I know. There's a lot of people upset about a certain
someone's actions last night at Wrestlemania."
"Yours? No freaking shit!" Aly mumbles.
"I must admit I'd be a bit naive if I didn't think anything was coming, because that certain someone put on his twitter he was headed to Wrestlemania, to how does he put it...whip
some candy ass. So right then I knew he wasn't talking about Zack Ryder. I didn't think that
certain someone would actually decide the winner of the main event of Wrestlemania. But
you know what? If he didn't do what he did, the final moment of Wrestlemania 27 would've
been...a draw..."
"Only because you gave him a concussion!" She snaps at the screen, pulling her face back
enough to glare.
"Hey calm down." Mike says soothingly, while rubbing her arm.
She don't reply, still glaring at the tv.
"...and that would've sucked donkeys. So you know what? Things didn't go my way, I will not
complain. As a matter of fact, I'm gonna congratulate...the Miz."
"Only because you're an ass."
"Miz, congratulations. Because I've been around long enough to know that it doesn't matter
how you did it, the fact is you did it, you were able to walk into the main event of
Wrestlemania the WWE Champion...and walk out of Wrestlemania still the WWE
Champion. There's something to be said for that."
"I know you're watching and trust me you are still the most annoying person on the face of
the earth, and I hope I never get another chance to face you again. But, I think these people
would agree with me. That after your showing tonight, you have earned all of our respect."
"Yeah right, you're lying."
"Which of course brings me back to that certain someone. Because after hearing him speak
for so very long, it's obvious I have not earned his respect. It's obvious he doesn't like me
very much. Here's the good thing, that certain someone is here tonight. That certain
someone was also supposed to be the guest host of Wrestlemania, but very quickly
became involved in business...MY business."
Aly pulls herself from Mike.
"I need to go for a walk or something. I can't handle listening to him or seeing his face right
now." She says as she stands up.
"Want me to come with you, or are you gonna be alright by yourself?" Mike asks.
"Up to you."
He thinks about it for a bit, looking over at Alex and myself, and I just nod telling him to go
with her. She's already out in the hall as he comes out, jogging to catch up. Once he
catches up, he walks beside her but is quiet just like her. She takes his hand and slides her
fingers between his.
"I want to go back to the hotel. I don't think I can stand being here for much longer..."
"I can't look at him or hear his voice without seeing your head bounce off the concrete and
its messing me up. I don't want to have a breakdown." She adds, trying not to get upset and
he frowns.
"We can leave now if you want..."
"Please."
He nods, before turning them both around to head back to the room so they can get their
things.
"We're going to head back to the hotel, are you guys coming or staying?" She asks while
Mike and her pick up their things.
"I think we'll come, I really don't want to see this as much as you. And if we don't get out of
here now, there may be some problems if we see John as we're leaving."
She nods. Alex and I get up and get our own things before we all walk out heading to the
car. The ride back was mostly silent, and the whole time Mike had one hand with his fingers
laced with hers, while the other was on the steering wheel. We get there and we all get out.
Mike and Aly lace their fingers together while Alex drapes an arm across my shoulders and
lays a kiss against the top of my head. We make our way into the lobby, then get into the
elevator and when we get up to the floor we walk out and go into our respective rooms
"I swear John is in such deep shit when I see him next." I say as Alex and I take our shoes
and stuff off.
"Which is why we're gonna avoid seeing him..."
"Because we don't need you and Windy getting in trouble." Alex finishes.
"I know." I sigh, and he hugs me.
"And here I thought tonight was going to be a non-stressful night."
"I know." He sighs.
"I can't imagine what she's going through right now..."
"I don't envy her, it has to be hard."
"Right, well hopefully by next week things will be better. I mean he did say he can't do
anything for a week just to be safe."
"Yeah. I hope so."
"But anyways, it is getting late and I am getting tired."
"Alright, let's get changed and get some sleep." Alex agrees, kissing my forehead.
He lets me go, and I grab some pjs out of my bag before heading into the bathroom to
change. After coming out of the bathroom, I immediately climb into bed after putting the
dress into my other bag. I snuggle into Alex as he puts his arms around me.
"Night love." He says after giving me a light kiss.
"Night." I repeat, and then drift off to sleep.
When Aly and Mike walk into their room, he drops his things and then wraps his arms
around her. She sinks into his arms, pressing her face to his chest.
"Feeling a little better?" He asks.
She nods silently.
"Good, if you want we can fly out to my place tomorrow. Get away from everything."
"That sounds really good right now." She mumbles.
"I figured you'd like that idea. We can sleep in for a bit in the morning, then whenever you
want to leave, we'll pack up and head out."
"Okay." She agrees.
"Take the whole week off, since I have to anyway."
"Yes you do."
"We definitely both need this."
"Yes we do." She nods in agreement.
"Why don't we get changed and go to sleep..."
"I can't promise I'll get much sleep but I'll try."
"As long as you try."
She pulls her head back enough to look at him.
"Just for you."
"I love you." He smiles.
"I love you too." She kisses the corner of his mouth.
He smiles and lets her go. She goes over to her things and grabs pjs to change into. Both
of them change and climb into bed. She slides over to him and then pauses for a second,
looking thoughtful. He looks at her curiously. She comes out of her thoughtful daze and
instead of laying against his side like usual, she moves to lay on top of him. From there he
wraps his arms around her and kisses her.
"Goodnight."
"Night, love you."
"Love you too."
