After finishing up getting ready in the bathroom, I walk out to make sure my bag with my ring gear is all set. Once I make sure it is, I look up to see Alex fixing his tie and whatnot. I lean against the table with my arms folded across my chest as I watch with a smile on my face. Alex finishes with his tie and looks up. He sees me watching him and chuckles.
"Can never get enough of this." I mumble.
"I can tell." He says in amusement.
"But then again, I can never get enough of you period." I add, and Alex smirks.
"Well that's a good thing, because I can't get enough of you either."
"Is that so?"
"It is."
"Hmm, I think I need a more proof than the words 'it is'."
His smirk gets wider and he walks over. He takes my face in his hands and kisses me intensely.
"Okay...we have...a show...to get to." I say after a while, between kisses.
He kisses me one last time, and then releases me.
"Now, let's go." I say, reaching behind me and grabbing my bag.
He offers his arm and I take it, the two of us leaving the room and going out to the car. In Aly and Mike's room, she's come out of the bathroom after changing, and sat down on the bed to put her shoes on. She slips them on and buckles them before moving her feet to make sure the shoes are comfortable enough. Once she's satisfied, she looks up. She sees Mike slipping on his suit jacket, adjusting it after it's on. Aly bites her lip and smiles while resting one of her hands on her stomach, her other hand braced against the bed. Once he's satisfied with how the jacket is, he looks up and sees her looking at him. He smirks and she giggles.
"I know, I look incredible." He says.
"You do." She agrees.
"And so do you." He adds.
"So you tell me all the time."
"Because it's true."
"You're supposed to think so."
"That's right." He smiles.
"Give it a couple weeks and I won't really be able to wear dresses like this anymore."
"You'll still be beautiful to me."
"Even when I'm huge?"
"Yes, you'll be beautiful to me then. You'll always be beautiful to me, no matter how you look."
"You're too sweet." She says, as he walks over.
"As you tell me all the time." He smiles, taking her hands and pulling her up so she's standing.
"Because I love when you're super sweet."
"And I'm super sweet, because I love you."
"I love you too." She squeezes his hands.
He then leans in and kisses her gently, still holding her hands. The kiss starts to heat up and she struggles to get his attention.
"We're...going to...be late."
He reluctantly pulls away, but when he does he kisses her once more, before stepping aside and holding out his arm for her to grab. She grabs her purse and takes his arm. Then they both make their way out the door and down to the car, where Alex and I are already waiting. We all get in and drive off to the arena. When we get there we hang out in the backstage area, and then I drop off my bag in the locker room real quick, before returning. We watch as the normal intro plays, and then the Raw intro. The pyros go off as the music continues, then the show is introduced as always. While we stand there John walks past us with a mic and the title, heading towards the curtain to head out to the ring.
"Ass." Aly mumbles under her breath.
Once he's out of sight, Mike starts muttering things to Alex. All we see is nodding and whatnot. We give each other a weird look, before turning our attention to the tv, where John has just come out onto the stage.
"Ladies and gentlemen please welcome, your WWE Champion...John Cena!" Justin announces after John has gotten into the ring.
I roll my eyes, and then suddenly Alex grabs me and we're walking to the curtain ourselves.
"Alex, what in the world?" I ask as he tugs me along.
"You'll see in just a few minutes."
"If you say so..."
John's music fades, and we watch on the screen as he has a mic in hand, and the title over his shoulder. The crowd cheers and there are some boos. Alex then motions to me, and I follow him out onto the stage, a mic in his hand.
"Ahhem!" He exclaims, cutting John off before he could finish his sentence.
I stifle a laugh at John's annoyed face.
"Save it John alright? Just save it man. I have heard it time and time again. Let me uh...let me guess here...let me see if I can get this correct alright? Uh...hustle, loyalty, respect. Uh...I never quit. And this Sunday you're going to beat the Miz at Over The Limit give or take huh? Am I okay?"
"Why don't...why don't you take a look...at this." Alex says, turning and pointing up to the tron.
We all watch as a video package of Mike plays of him totally owning John in the weeks leading up to Wrestlemania, and Wrestlemania itself. I nod in approval as I watch. When the video was over, John didn't have a pleased on his face. Mike in the meantime quickly ushered Aly towards the curtain herself, with him following.
"I'm going to be mad if this goes badly." She mutters.
"Don't worry, it's not going to go badly. Alex and I are just gonna talk to him."
"You've said that before and looks what's happened."
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the most must see champion in WWE history...The Miz!" Alex introduces, and Mike's music plays.
Aly and Mike walk out, and after he and Alex shake hands, Alex and I walk ahead of them down the ramp. We all get into the ring, and stand before John as the music fades. Aly and I stand together, scowling slightly. The crowd boos before Alex could talk. Alex turns to Mike shaking his head and says 'they love you'.
"From the very beginning you people have underestimated The Miz. From his start on WWE Tough Enough, all the way to the main event of Wrestlemania 27, you people said that he didn't have what it took! That he should quit!"
"They did." Aly mumbles.
"Well you people also said that the Spurs were gonna make it out of the first round, and we all know what happened to that." Alex says amusedly, then faking a cough/choke.
Aly can't help but snicker. Mike looks over at Alex and starts laughing, and Alex goes over to John still faking the cough.
"This Sunday at Over The Limit in an 'I Quit' match for the..." Alex goes to say, but is cut off by 'you suck' chants.
"Haters gonna hate." I roll my eyes.
"Yup." Aly too rolls her eyes.
Mike motions for Alex to ignore everyone and continue on.
"Ahem...in an 'I Quit' match for the WWE Championship. This man is gonna prove all of you wrong once again! Because the Miz will never ever utter the words..." Alex trails off, going over to John and getting into his face.
"...I quit." He finishes, backing away.
"Alex Riley...you are as stupid as you are useless." John states.
"Real funny...not."
"What an insult." Aly says sarcastically.
"If you want to talk about things The Miz would never say, the Miz would never say 'you know what, I'm gonna pass on tickets to the Jonas Brothers'. The Miz would never say 'I don't think I wanna play with My Little Pony anymore'. The Miz would never say, 'I'm the Miz and I have testicles'."
"And that's a shame, because you're gonna need a set for an 'I Quit' match. Now listen
there's no denying what you've done here in the WWE. You've gone from laughing stock to WWE Champion, and I've already told you I respect that. But there's a reason I chose this match." John says, staring at Mike with Mike staring back at him.
"The reason I chose this match, is because when I look past all the fancy suits and the loudmouth brovado, I can look into your mentor's eyes and see fear." John continues, looking at Alex then back at Mike.
"Same fear I see right now. I've been in these matches, and I've gone the distance. But right now I look in your eyes and you're wondering...how bad at Over The Limit will I get hurt. Or you're wondering maybe just maybe I'll say I quit, before I get hurt. And I can see in your eyes that you're so...so very scared, because after Over The Limit...you won't be saying 'I'm the Miz and I'm awesome'. You'll be saying 'I'm the Miz and I quit'."
Aly growls quietly. Then as John backs away a bit, the GM chimes in.
"Oh lord, what now?" I sigh.
"Could I have your attention please? I have just recieved an email from the anonymous Raw general manager on my iPad. And I quote. Miz, since I allowed John Cena to make the stipulation for Over The Limit, as long as you and Riley are not involved...it's only fair that I allow you to name the kind of match and the opponent for John Cena here tonight."
"Huh. What do you know, the GM's actually being somewhat fair." Aly says quietly.
Mike smiles at this and is handed the mic by Alex. Mike looks around as if he's thinking about what and who to choose.
"You know John I uh...I don't know who you're opponent's gonna be yet. And you know I uh...I don't know the stipulation yet as well. But there is one thing for sure. It's gonna be awesome." Mike says, getting into John's face with a huge grin.
We both exchanged slightly amused looks. Alex bounces around laughing, then pats Mike on the back as his music hits. He and Mike back away with grins on their faces, and then hold the ropes for us to get out first, followed by them. Mike and Alex back up the ramp, with the grins still on their faces as we all head backstage, and the first commercial break of the night comes up.
"You two are dorks."
"And yes we know, you're our dorks." I add, before either one of them could say it.
They grin at us.
"Want to join me on the adventure of finding John's opponent?" Mike asks her.
"Sure why not."
"Alright, let's go." He says, putting an arm around her.
"Bye guys. Alex don't enjoy your alone time too much. She has a match later." She says, teasingly.
I lightly hit her arm, and give her an amused look.
"Couldn't resist." She giggles.
"Yeah yeah, just go on the little opponent search adventure." I laugh.
Mike pulls her away as she keeps giggling.
"Always has to tease about that stuff." I say amusedly.
"Wouldn't be herself if she didn't." Alex points out, chuckling.
"True that. But she is right you know."
"Damn." Alex pouts.
"The match isn't for a while though. So we do have some time."
"Good." He smiles and puts an arm around my shoulders and walks me back to the room.
Almost immediately when we walked into the room and sat down on the couch, he pulled me over onto his lap.
"Someone's eager." I laugh.
"I told you earlier, you know I can't get enough."
"If you're acting like this now, I can only imagine how you'll be when we're married and on our honeymoon."
Alex smirks and chuckles.
"Alright, it'll be much more than this. I can see it in your eyes." I say, moving a bit to get more comfortable.
"Only about a month left now." He says as he holds onto my hips.
"I know."
"I'm so ready for it to get here."
"Me too, everything's all set for it. I can't wait for it to get here."
"I'm looking forward to seeing you in your dress. I know you're going to be gorgeous." Alex smiles and kisses my shoulder.
"Oh you'll love it alright."
"I know I will."
"And don't think you're the only one who's looking forward to seeing how nice I look. You know I can't wait to see you either, especially since I already know how you look in suits."
"Right." He chuckles.
"But the question is...are you gonna actually wear a tie or that bowtie you wore at the Hall Of Fame?" I laugh.
"What would YOU like me to wear?"
"Hmm, I don't know. I mean the bowtie was cute, but I do like the ties." I say, playing with the tie he's wearing.
Alex watches me with amused eyes.
"I think the tie wins it." I smile.
"Alright." He laughs.
Then he drops another kiss to my shoulder, moving along and up to my neck.
"You just have to start there, don't you?"
He smirks against my skin.
"Of course."
"No spot tonight. Remember...match."
"Uh-huh."
"How come I don't believe you?"
"I promise I'll behave."
"...for now." He adds after a pause.
"Planning more for later I see..."
"Not telling."
"Oh yes, that's right. It's a surprise." I laugh.
"Yup." He says before returning to what he was doing.
He moved from my neck and to my lips, gripping my hips as he deepens the kiss, and I grip onto his shoulders in return. I slide my hands up into his hair, gripping lightly. He instinctively pulls me closer and his hands move, so his arms wrap around me now. I bring my hands down and lay my arms around his neck. Then I unconsciously drag my nails across his neck. Then I unconsciously drag my nails across his neck, but realize what I did after I heard and felt him growl. I laugh a little into the kiss. I then do it again, but this time purposely. He growls again and pulls away from my lips.
"Must you do that?"
"Yes, I must." I laugh.
"Just like you love to leave marks on my neck, I love making you growl like that." I add.
Then before he could respond, we heard Punk's voice on the tv.
"What you just saw was leadership by example. And it's just step one. You see I've heard all the rumors..Nexus...Nexus isn't formidable. But I promise you right now, no more Mr. Nice Punk. I'm doing things my way for now on, and I'm not gonna stop until each member of Nexus individually and collectively as a group is THE most dominant force the WWE Universe has ever seen."
"Oh joy." I mumble.
Punk's music hits, and the cameras stay on him and Nexus for a bit before switching to backstage. We see Aly and Mike with Vickie and Dolph, Mike clearly talking to him about being John's opponent tonight. Aly's standing slightly behind Mike, eyeing Vickie warily. The screen fades to a commercial, before we could find out if Dolph agreed. After a bit, there was just a knock on the door, signalling that my match was next.
"Aww, that means we have to move." I say.
"We'll have time for this later."
He lets me go so that I can get up. We both stand up and head out the door, heading down to the locker room. Once we get there, Alex waits outside while I change. I come out and Alex grins as he always does.
"You don't have to say it, the grin says it all." I laugh.
Alex laughs and kisses my cheek. He puts an arm around my shoulders, and we make our
way down the hallway to the curtain. We wait until the commercial break is over, and when it was they played a replay of what happened last week with Eve, Kelly Kelly, The Bellas and Kharma. After that, they hit my music and then Alex I both walk out. After posing on the stage with the title, we make our way down to the ring and get in. I do the usual poses on the turnbuckles with the title before hopping off and standing over by Alex near the ropes, as we wait for my opponent. After my music fades, the Bella's music hits and they both walk out.
"And her opponent, accompanied to the ring by Nikki, from Scottsdale Arizona...Brie Bella!"
Justin announces before getting out of the ring.
Alex and I watch as they make their way down the ramp, and then into the ring together. The
ref tells Nikki to get out of the ring as the music fades. Alex gets out of the ring too, then kisses me quickly before jumping down. I stand across from Brie as the bell rings, and then we circle each other. We lock up, but Brie elbows me then twists my arm around applying pressure when she can. I manage to elbow her in the face when I get the opportunity. Then I reverse her hold and flip her over, and when she gets back up I kick her feet out from under her, then grab her by her hair and slam her backwards onto the apron. She slowly rolls her way over to the ropes and uses them to get up. When I storm over to her she kicks me in the gut, then grabs me and throws me so I'm leaning against the ropes. She then puts a knee to the back of my neck, making my throat push against the middle rope. The ref is distracted with Brie, and this gave Nikki the chance to get involved. Alex knew exactly what was gonna happen, so he rushed over and was yelling at Nikki not to even touch me. She backed off of course, and I was left leaning against the ropes. Brie pulls me off so I'm laying on my back and she goes for the cover, but I quickly kick out at two. She pulls me up again, and gets me in a submission move of hers. The ref is asking me if I want to quit and whatever, I just shake my head no. I manage to get myself to a standing position, but Brie grabs my head and slams me back onto the apron. She goes to do a leg drop on me, but I move out of the way and she misses. As her back is turned I elbow her in the back, and she turns around in rage.
She goes for a clothesline and I duck, going against the ropes and coming back towards her. I clothesline her instead, and I do that a couple more times as she keeps getting up. The last time she gets up, I kick her so she bends over. I get closer and I put one of her arms around my neck/back, and grab her by her ring gear bottoms and deliver a supplex. She cries out in pain and rolls over to the corner. I back up into the opposite corner and just like Mike does...since he taught me this and well I've watched him enough to pick up on it...I wait until she's in the right spot before I run and hit her with that corner clothesline. She stumbles forward and I climb to the top turnbuckle and wait until she turns around. When she does, I jump and hit her with a top rope drop kick and then quickly cover her. She kicks out of course, and I immediately grab her by her hair and lift her up to her feet. She counters and knees me in the gut, and I cry out in pain. She goes to do something else, but I had enough strength to trip her by grabbing her feet. I then step over her and pull her head up by her neck, and also bending her legs back sitting on those as I apply as much pressure as I can. She's nowhere by the ropes to get to them, so she's basically in a whole world of trouble right now. Nikki keeps telling her to hold on, but she can't no more and taps out. The bell rings and my music hits, as the ref comes over and raises my hand in victory.
"The winner of this match..." Justin goes to say.
Alex then starts shouting to me to watch out behind me. Right then I knew the Bellas were gonna attack. So what I did was swing my arm behind me, and I managed to hit one of them. Then I take my other leg and swing it around so I hit the other one. It takes a while for them to get up, but in the meantime I look down at them, and they're holding the places I hit them. They do manage to get up, but then like every week now...Kharma's music hit. Alex looks worried and motions for me to get out of the ring. I don't hesitate, and I get out of the ring quickly and over to Alex. The Bellas get up and look like they're ready to fight her, while Alex and I stand there outside the ring and watch as she walks down the ramp and stops at the side of the ring. Alex gently pushes me behind him. Kharma gets into the ring, staring past Alex at me of course. One of the Bellas then try a sneak attack on her, but it doesn't phase her whatsoever. She turns her attention away from me and stares down the Bella that attacked her. She goes to hit her again, but is stopped and knocked down. The other Bella climbs to the top turnbuckle and jumps, only to be caught by Kharma and dropped to the mat after her sister quickly rolls out.
"Let's get out of here." Alex says to me over his shoulder.
I just nod and we make our way around just as Brie yelled to her sister, before Kharma destroyed her like she's done previous weeks. We make our way up the ramp, just as she starts walking fast backwards up it as well. I sigh in relief as Alex and I get backstage.
"So glad that wasn't me out there."
"I'm glad it wasn't either."
"But you saw the way she was looking at me..."
"Yeah, I'm worried about that. I don't want anything to happen to you."
"I know you don't."
"But for now, let's just get you changed and go back to the room."
"Right." I nod, and then we start heading back to the locker room.
On our way there, we see Aly and Mike.
"Hey. Any luck finding John's opponent?" I ask, when we stop.
Mike shakes his head.
"Yeah, Ziggler declined and so did Big Show." Aly adds.
"And now we're off again." She says with a small sigh.
"Well I hope you find someone."
"Oh I will." Mike says.
Then they say bye to us, and walk off in search of the opponent for John still. Alex and I continue our way to the locker room, and as usual I go in and change while he stays outside. After I change and grab my bag, we head back to the room to watch the rest of the show. Mike walks in front of Aly as they go down the hall, one of his hands laced with one of hers.
"Are you sure you're gonna find someone?"
"Yes, I'm sure." Mike assures her.
"...if you say so..."
"Sure it's gonna take some time, but I will find someone."
She nods quietly, squeezing his hand gently.
"You have nothing to worry about."
"Okay."
"You don't believe me do you?"
"I do believe you."
"You sure? I mean it's okay if you don't, I do pretty stupid things, especially when it involves him."
"This is true...but I do believe you at this point anyway."
"Love you." He says, lifting her hand and kisses it.
"Love you too." She smiles.
Then as they're walking, Mike comes across Punk and Mason Ryan. He walks down the
small corridor and approaches them, asking Punk to see if he'll be John's opponent tonight, or if Mason will be his opponent. Aly stands off to the side, twisting her rings around her finger. Like Big Show and Dolph, Punk decided to turn him down for both himself and Mason. Mike steps back and grabs Aly's hand again as they walk away.
"This is becoming hard."
"There'll be somebody who wants to vent some anger." She shrugs.
"It's just a matter of finding them."
"We don't have much time left though."
"Relax. You'll find someone."
You walk some more for a while, until you both see Kane getting ready for his match coming up soon. Mike approaches him to ask him to be the opponent for John tonight.
"You are the most dangerous man in the WWE. I want everyone in the WWE Universe to see what I see. I want them to see the Big Red Machine." Mike says to Kane, and Big Show walks up handing Kane the Tag Team title.
"Take out John Cena, the WWE Champion. Big Show you know..." Mike trails off, before Big
Show shakes his head and walks off with Kane.
Aly can tell Mike's getting a little frustrated so she slides her arms around him and raises up
to kiss the back of his neck.
"Calm down, you'll find someone. I know you will."
"I better before Kane's match is over."
"You'll be fine. Relax."
"I'm trying to, but this is all so frustrating." He sighs.
"I know but I believe in you." She squeezes him gently and kisses his neck again.
After he calms down a little bit, they continue on their way on finding John's opponent. Mike didn't find one before Kane's match ended. By the time Kane's match ended, Mike found R-Truth and you both walked up to him. Mike started explaining things to him, trying to convince him that he should be John's opponent. But of course, Truth had to decline.
"He makes me nervous anyway. He's totally snapped." Aly says quietly after they walk away.
"Which is why he would've been the perfect opponent." Mike adds.
"True...but at the same time it makes him unpredictable, so who's to say he wouldn't turn on
you?"
"And I don't want you hurt like he hurt Morrison and put him in the hospital." You add.
"Good point."
Then Swagger starts to walk by. Mike then remembers how he got angry at Cole and all that out at the contract signing for Cole's match against Jerry Sunday at Over The Limit.
"I know the perfect person who would want to take their anger out on John..." Mike trails off.
"I told you."
"Come on." He says, and goes over to Jack.
He tells him about how he knows how angry he is about what happened tonight. Then asked if he wanted to take his anger out on John. Jack thought about it and agreed to it, then arranged for him to issue a sneak attack on John.
"I told you that you'd find somebody." Aly says to Mike with a small smile.
"So you did. Now let's go get Carly and Alex, I so wanna be out there to watch this beatdown."
"Okay." She agrees.
They both walk to the room, and knock on the door before opening it. Alex and I are cuddled up on the couch and Alex is fixing his messy hair, making it obvious that we had been kissing.
"Hey lovebirds, we got someone so let's go." Mike says, chuckling.
"You're one to talk about being lovebirds Mike." I laugh, getting up.
Alex snickers as he gets up.
"Yeah yeah, just come on."
All four of us leave the room and head towards the curtain. As soon as we got back from the commercial break and when Mike was handed his special mic, they hit his music and we all walked out.
"I have decided that tonight's main event will be...a No Holds Barred match. So Cena, get out here!"
Aly and I both move close to Mike and Alex, scowling slightly. John's music hits and John slowly walks out, staring down both Mike and Alex, just in case they were going to attack him. Mike motions him to go on down the ramp, and when he does Jack comes from the back and hits him from behind in that sneak attack.
"Him?" I ask.
"Yep." Aly answers.
"He has some anger to let out from that contract signing of Cole and Jerry's earlier." She adds.
"Ah. Right."
"Oh and allow me to introduce to you your opponent tonight...Jack Swagger. Referee ring
the bell!" Mike demands.
"I don't have a great feeling about this." Aly mutters quietly, after she and I step back.
"I know me neither."
"I'm going to be pissed if he does something to Mike."
We all watch closely as the match between John and Jack went on. At first Jack had total
control over the match, that is until John gained the momentum. But he was slowed down when Jack stopped him, and took control again. We went to a commercial break and Jack still had the control over the match for a while, until it went outside the ring. When we came back Swagger was in control again for a bit, before John reversed a move and took control himself again. The control in the match went back and forth the whole time, until John took complete control. Jack went to get a chair and then he hit it across the back of John, before going for the pin and John kicks out. Mike shakes his head in frustration. Jack goes back over and gets the chair, laying it on top of John before running and jumping over him onto the top rope, and landing back down on John with the chair on him. Another pin, but John kicks out. Jack gets the chair again and wedges it into the corner, then goes back over to John...who of course comes back to life and starts going after Jack. He got fired up before Jack grabbed him midair and dropped him to the apron, going for the pin again which John kicked out of. Mike again shakes his head and gets even more frustrated. Swagger gets John in the ankle lock and holds it until John manages to flip out of it. The tables have turned because when Jack runs at John he moves and pushes him into the corner headfirst and making impact with the steel chair wedged into that corner. The ref starts counting but both of them get up, and of course John is all fired up again. Of course he did the AA, and Swagger taps to the STF.
"Figures." Aly sighs.
Mike just shakes his head in disbelief, but he accepts it.
"Very very very impressive Cena. But I want you to cherish this thrill of victory. 'Cause come this Sunday, what you're gonna be feeling is emptiness, regret, and disappointment. There are so many ways to make a human being say 'I quit'. You could beat them so badly, that they have no choice but to say 'I quit'. Take this stage for example. I could throw you off of it, and watch as you crash face first into the concrete."
"Or see this camera?" Mike asks, walking a little ways down the ramp to the flying camera
that's used for the crowd shots.
"I could put you up against this stage, and do something like this..." He trails off, grabbing the camera and smashing it into the stage, and does it a 2nd time for good measure.
"Or take these steel steps..." He trails off again, as we all walk down the ramp.
"I could ram you again and again and again, until you couldn't stand up. Or I could look underneath the ring. Alex go find something useful."
Aly and I exchange looks while Alex searches for something under the ring. Alex goes and looks underneath the ring, right in front of us. He doesn't see anything, so he goes around to the side and finds something useful.
"A pipe...nice." Mike says, as Alex comes back handing it to him.
"I really don't like this." Aly whispers to me.
"Yes, I could use this pipe, I could use all those things. But that's the obvious stuff." Mike continues, walking up the steps and staying outside the ropes, and Alex does the same.
Aly and I stay down on the floor, resting our hands on the apron.
"That's actually the stuff...I'm not going to use. There's a million ways to beat you Cena. A million ways that you haven't even thought about, that I already have. I am more intelligent, conniving and ruthless than anyone you have ever faced in your entire life! And I found a way John. I found a way that you have never even seen before. So come this Sunday I guarantee you, I guarantee you, I guarantee all of you...that after our match at Over The Limit...I will be declared the new WWE Champion!"
"We hope." Aly mumbles quietly under her breath.
"Why are you looking at me like that John? You're looking at me as if...you don't believe a word I'm saying. Because well I won't use this pipe on Sunday...hm...I have no problem using it tonight."
"Shit. Here it goes."
Alex gets in first, and of course John knocks him to the mat. Then Mike gets in and strikes John in the side with the pipe, before striking it across his back. Mike backs away as John starts to recover, and that's when it turns bad. John stops Mike and he drops the pipe, and he hits him in the gut with it. Then he goes after Alex, continuously hitting him with it.
"Dolce." Aly says in alarm, knowing it isn't a good idea for her to get in there while John wields the pipe.
"Now THAT'S the final straw." I say, storming up to the side of the ring Mike's on.
"Mike get out...now!" I exclaim, climbing up onto the side of the ring.
Mike actually listens, sliding out and into Aly's arms. She checks over him worriedly. I get into the ring, and walk up to John angrily, and then pull the pipe from his hands.
"Enough John! You are WAY out of control!"
I toss the pipe down and Aly grabs it, throwing it under the ring.
"Do you not understand that I'm getting married to Alex in almost a month now?" I yell, getting into his face.
"I'm sick of you hurting him for no reason!" I snap.
"I swear to god, if this wasn't WWE or on tv..I'd have your ass arrested."
While I'm yelling at John, Aly's been making sure Mike and Alex are both okay. Mike was fine, but it was Alex that wasn't looking so good.
"Carly!" Mike yells to me.
I glance back and see Aly checking over Alex with a concerned look. I totally forget about
John now and rush out of the ring, to Alex's side with Aly and Mike.
"We need to go." She says.
"We have to make sure he can move first...if not...then it's being carried out on a stretcher...as much as I hate the idea."
"You think I didn't ask him that already?" She retorts.
She motions for help, and the medics come out with the stretcher and everything. We back away so they can do their job, and I shake with worry and whatnot as I watch. Mike puts an arm around me in comfort and we follow them backstage. We get to the ambulance, and I wait to get in since they're putting him inside.
"Be sure to grab my things. I'll see you at the hospital."
They nod and hug me. Once everything is set, I climb up and into the ambulance, sitting down next to him and immediately take hold of his hand. The doors shut and one person bangs on the doors signaling the driver to go. I kiss the back of Alex's hand, my eyes welling up with tears.
"He's gone way too far this time."
"I know."
"Come on, let's get to the hospital." Mike states.
Aly nods tearfully, chewing her lip. She and Mike head back to the room, grabbing all our
things, then head out to the car. They just throw everything in the trunk and get in, heading off to the hospital.
"Are you sure you're okay?" Aly asks Mike as they pull into a parking space.
"You did get hit in the stomach with that pipe...maybe you should get checked out too." She frowns, chewing on her lip.
"I'm fine now, but if it'll make you feel better, after we find out if Alex is alright, I'll ask to get checked out."
"Yes please. It would really make me feel a whole lot better."
"Then I will do that." He nods, and then they both get out and head inside.
They ask directions and then walk through the halls until they find me. Aly immediately hugs me.
"Any news yet?"
"They're doing x-rays right now. That's all I know."
"God I hope he's okay." She says, her eyes watering.
Mike sees how upset she's getting, so after she pulls away from hugging me, he wraps his arms around her and pulls her into him. She buries her face in his chest, clutching his shirt. I sit down after a bit, and just stare at the ground, tears welling up and then falling. Mike sits down in the chair beside me with Aly on his lap. He leaves on arm around her and puts the other around me. After what seemed like forever, one of the doctors had walked up, to tell us what was going on. The doctor basically told us Alex was fine, that he'd be sore for a day or two and would need to take it easy and if any new symptoms appeared to come back. I breathe a sigh of relief, and we all thank the doctor. He nods and walks away. After a few minutes Alex comes out and immediately I'm in his arms.
"Shhh, I'm okay." He says soothingly after hearing me sniffle.
"...you almost weren't..."
"I know but I'm okay and there's nothing to worry about now."
"Besides the fact that you're gonna be sore for a day or two, and new symptoms can appear."
"They said new symptoms are unlikely but just to keep an eye out as a little warning." Alex assures me.
While Alex is calming me, Aly grabs the doctor as he passes by and not only ask a few questions about Alex's situation but tells him about Mike being involved. The doctor agrees to check Mike over and they walk away down the hall. After I'm calmed down, I turn to Aly and motion for her to come over, since she was as concerned as I was about Alex. She walks over.
"I'm glad you're okay. You had me really worried." She tells Alex quietly.
"I know, and I'm sorry I worried you."
She nods lightly, twisting her rings around her finger.
"Mike should be fine Windy. He didn't get it as bad as I did." He says, seeing the concern on your face.
"You know I worry. Especially after Wrestlemania and even more now." She replies, subtly touching her stomach.
"Right, we know."
She gives Alex a small smile as he reaches out and squeezes her shoulder.
"I'm going to sit down, I've been on my feet for a long time."
He nods, and Aly goes back and sits down, waiting for Mike to come out from being checked out. A few more minutes pass and finally Mike appears.
"I'll be just fine." He says, before she could ask.
Relief is written all over her face as she gets up and steps into his arms.
"Now how about we all get out of here."
We all agree and head out.
