I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDES THE OC'S.
Alex's Point of View-
I finished the interview going back not seeing Mike anywhere in the theatre knowing that he had left me to go do whatever he wanted to do or cool down from whatever was eating him alive from what I said but I honestly don't know what I said in the interview that had gotten him that upset. I gathered my things from the designated changing area, I threw my strap over my head onto my shoulder and headed out of the theatre being escorted to the arena by security and went into the backstage area where I headed to the locker room.
"Hey Mike…why did you leave the interview in a hurry?" I asked as I pulled my bag off tossing it onto the bench.
"It's nothing…" Mike said as he stood up fixing his wrist bands on his wrist before he shut his locker heading towards the door.
"Where are you going?" I asked turning around to look at him but he didn't even turn to look at me.
"Out…" Mike said as he pulled the door open and walked out leaving me there to get ready. I honestly didn't know what I said that made him that more upset, I knew he was still angry with me about last night but I didn't think he would let that interfere with our work. I got changed getting ready for Mike's match while others were slowly showing up doing our general conversation starters as we got ready getting memo's and sheets from the crew member that came in seeing that Mike's match was second so I figured I should go get ready. I went and found a bottle of water in a 24 pack that was outside catering taking it with me as I went back to the gorilla position seeing Mike so I stood afar until it got closer to our time and got the courage to go up to him.
"Hey man, it's time to go on." I said as he looked up at me seeing the pissed look in his eyes, he got up pushing past me to the stairs that Hunter was next to flipping through paperwork of how the matches were supposed to go, at least how the creative team had came up with for each match. Addie hobbled up to us on her crutches and I could tell she was in pain. "Addie, what are you doing?" I asked as I walked down the steps I climbed with Mike to stand in front of her.
"I wanted to come wish you good luck…and because I have a broken leg doesn't mean that I'm not mobile Alex, I can still move." Addie said smirking pushing a strand of hair behind her ear before putting it back on the crutch.
"But you shouldn't be on it all day of everyday." I said resting my hands on his hips before I leant down pressing my lips to hers hoping that it would help her pain.
"What happened to your leg?" Hunter asked in a concerned tone, I turned to look at Hunter as he walked down the couple of steps to stand beside us closing the paperwork setting it at arms length.
"It's nothing, the doctor said 4-6 weeks time I will be back to physical therapy to get back into the ring." Addie said smirking and shrugging, I looked at her then to him.
"Nothing? It's something Addie, it's a blessing because that may be how long it'll be until we can split Alex from Mike but what happened to get your leg broken? It wasn't the match was it?" Hunter asked.
"No, Alex and I got in a minor car accident last night and it just happened." Addie said shrugging.
"At least your both are okay…are you okay?" Hunter asked looking to me with a slight point.
"I'm fine, just a sprain wrist…it's no big deal Hunter…" I said as John came around the corner to make his entrance after Mike and me.
"Show time you two…" The crew member said.
"I love you." I whispered as I hugged Addie then kissed her real quick before I ran up the couple of steps and Mike allowed me to slide past him to go up rest of the steps to be behind the curtain thinking that Mike was behind me. I ran out from behind the curtain to go down the ramp like normal thinking that Mike was behind me when I got mid-ramp when I turned around to see where Mike was, the moment I turned I got speared to the ground hitting the ground flinging my head back hitting the cement then looked up seeing Mike on top of me punching me, I flung my hands up trying to protect myself as much as I could and I had no idea why he was attacking me but all I could do was protect myself when Hunter pulled Mike off me and set him down pushing him down the ramp away from me trying to keep us separate as I looked over at Mike as I was dabbing at my lip seeing blood on my fingers as I looked up to Mike who was smirking and staring at me.
"Mike go do your match!" Hunter exclaimed pointing to the ring as Mike started backing up heading to the ring smiling at what he just did, Hunter squatted down. "Are you okay?" Hunter asked as he was looking me over from the cuts and bruises I had from the car accident.
"I think I landed on my leg wrong…"
"What about your head?" Hunter asked as he begun helping me to my feet, I wrapped my arm around him as he helped me up the ramp.
"It's fine…" I said as we got to the stage when John's music hit and he walked out up to us.
"You okay?" John asked.
"Fine, kick his ass…" I said as I looked back to Mike who was bouncing between his feet getting pumped before I turned back around heading behind the curtain seeing Addie still at the bottom of the steps.
"Are you okay?" Addie asked as I could hear her voice cracking knowing she was trying not to cry, I think the medicine or the car accident last night is making her emotional.
"I'm fine…just got to get my lip checked…" I said as I dabbed at it collecting more blood.
"How is your leg?" Hunter asked.
"It's feeling better after walking on it slightly…" I said rotating my foot at the ankle feeling how much better it was.
"What the hell would make Mike crack like that?" Hunter asked seriously as I looked to Addie then to Hunter. "What aren't you guys telling me?" Hunter asked knowing that we weren't exactly telling him the truth.
"May I talk to you privately?" I asked realizing now was the time to man up and accept the consequences of my choices of what I did.
"I want to be there." Addie said.
"Addie, no…I can do this…" I said as I looked to her as she nodded.
"It must be important, let's go to my office…" Hunter said as he pointed to follow him and I followed him to the office where I waited until he walked behind his desk setting his paperwork down on his desk and sat down before I did, "Please sit." Hunter said sticking his hand out flat sitting down across the desk from him, "Talk." Hunter said leaning back in his seat locking his hands over his lap to listen to what I had to say intently.
"Mike is mad at me because of the car accident last night…" I said.
"Why is that? I mean, there is no reason he should be mad at you over that besides the fact that Addie is injured." Hunter said.
"The car accident happened because I was an idiot and drove drunk…it was all my fault and I know that my career is on the line due to this, I know that you guys don't approve of that type of behavior so do whatever you think is necessary." I said regretting it more than I had already felt when Vince walked in right when Hunter went to respond to what I had said.
"Hunter, that was great! I didn't even see that coming, Alex…you played that well, you truly looked like you didn't see that coming…" Vince said coming over, I jumped to my feet shaking his hand.
"Thanks sir?" I asked looking to Hunter giving him a questionable look.
"You liked it?" Hunter asked.
"Yes, I didn't see it coming…what is coming next? You know what, don't tell me…but why did you stop it so soon?" Vince asked.
"Um…because we are crunched for time sir…" Hunter said.
"Well, give those two time on Raw because it was great….good work…" Vince said smirking happily as he walked out of the room, Hunter waited a few seconds when he knew that Vince was out of ear shot even though the door was shut.
"Look, we have rules and regulations…I got to talk to other members of the board and you can get anywhere from suspension for 30 days to being fired considering members of our company got injured during the process which will weigh it's affect on the poll. I will let you know when the conference where you will need to be at will be held where your future with this company will be decided and you can testify of what happened and if you can get someone to come in to testify in your favor will or won't help your testimony, but until then go to the medic to get that lip fixed, don't tell Vince about this quite yet, keep your nose clean until then and congrats on getting yourself a push, I think you found your way to get into the solo scene of wrestling." Hunter said smirking as he reached over shaking my hand.
"Well, you always look at the bright side of things, huh?" I said smirking knowing that this may be the last feud I may have in the WWE and should make it last, but what a way to go out of this company than wrestling against the man that mentored me the years that I was here? I have to enjoy the time here with Addie, I'm sure I will see her if I do end up getting fired because I don't want this to ruin the relationship we have but I got to expect the worse.
"You have to look at the bright side because if you think negative, the negative will attract to you so keep your head up and go be with Addie…" Hunter said as I nodded knowing what he was saying as I got up heading towards the door, "Did I say you could leave?"
"No…but I thought we were done." I said.
"Not yet…I know I said go be with Addie but I have a few things to say about what happened…" Hunter said as I went back sitting down in the seat, "Look, Addie means a lot to me, a lot to this company, a lot to her sister, a lot to Mike and hell she means a lot to some of the talent here, I understand accidents happen but the fact it happened out of you drunk driving makes me pissed beyond believe, I don't blame Mike one bit for doing what he did tonight and you should be lucky it wasn't me…if I was you, I'll be careful and if she ever comes injured worse or again because of another idiotic move you had made I will seriously evaluate your career, my personal feelings for you and I really have to talk some sense into Addie to leave your dumb ass." Hunter said.
"Let me guess, your trying not to hurt me?"
"I'm not going to hurt you, but just know you are not my favorite person right now, especially now that I know the truth…now you can leave before I decide to get my own punch in." Hunter said as he picked up his phone, I nodded getting up to leave the room closing the door behind me to do whatever business he needed to do especially to get the ball rolling on getting my conference set to see where I stand with this company. I looked down the hall where I was about to walk seeing Addie sitting on the crate holding her crutches in front of her, the moment she saw me she was scooting closer to the edge of the crate.
"Stay there, you got to be careful." I said hurriedly walking over to her helping her down to her feet where she slid the crutches under her arms.
"What happened? I saw Vince come out of the office, how much trouble are we in?" She asked.
"Correction, you aren't in trouble, I'm in trouble…"
"But-"
"Addie, I'm the one that drove and I'm the one that did this, it's my fault…" I said resting my hands on her shoulders.
"Then how much trouble are you going to be in?" Addie asked as she looked down at her feet, I knew she was waiting to hear the bad news, I moved my hands wrapping them around her waist as I stepped forward to where her head would lean against my chest, I kissed the top of her head.
"I don't know yet…Hunter is mad at me, he said he is going to set up a conference to determine my punishment but he said I could get suspended or fired…"
"Fired? You can't get fired…not because of this…" Addie said aggravated and more pissed than I have ever seen her, "I'm going to go talk to him."
"Addie don't, I deserve whatever is decided…just let me deal with it…"
"Alex, they need to know what happened in that car…"
"But Addie, it doesn't matter what happened in the car, the point is I still drove drunk and the accident itself wouldn't have happened if I hadn't drunk…"Alex said.
"I think they will take it easier on you if you told them what had happened."
"Like they will believe me, plus they are going to look at the bigger picture….let's just enjoy whatever time we can get together before the conference so whatever happens happens and we had enjoyed whatever time we had together."
"What is going to happen if you get fired?" Addie asked seeing tears coming to her eyes.
"Don't want to think about it…we will figure something out, I'm not going to give up on us yet unless if you want to." I said not wanting to think about the possibility of getting fired nor the fact that if I did that it is going to be harder to see the love of my life which can end up breaking us up which was breaking my heart. I pressed my lips against the soft skin of her forehead wrapping her into a hug as much as I could just enjoying the cuddling we had going.
"What the fuck are you two doing?" Mike asked as we both looked down the hall seeing Mike storming towards us.
"Cuddling?" Addie said.
"Not anymore, Alex, I thought you had learned your lesson from earlier…" Mike said giving me a dirty look.
"I'll catch you later Addie…" I said giving her a quick kiss before I walked down the hall keep looking back at her as I could tell she was letting into him before she let herself into Hunter's office, 'I thought I told her not to get involved but I couldn't expect any less from her.' I thought as I went to the locker room collecting my things before I headed out to find a ride to the hotel since I figured I wasn't welcomed back to Mike's house. "Hey Justin, where you staying tonight?" I asked going up to Justin Gabriel who was sitting at a table in catering.
"At the Hilton, why?" Justin asked.
"May I get a ride? I need to get a room for the night."
"What do you mean you need to get a room?" Maryse asked joining us at the table.
"I'm going to leave right now…excuse me." Justin said collecting his things leaving the area.
"Well, I didn't think I was welcomed back to your house after last night and Mike has made it pretty obvious that he is pissed off more than I knew at me…" I said.
"He did that to your lip?" Maryse asked grabbing my chin to look at it better, I'm assuming she just noticed my swollen lip.
"Yeah…that's not the point, I kind of need a place to stay without thinking I am going to die when I'm asleep." I said.
"You can still stay at our house, I won't let him kill you…"
"Why are you being nice to me? I thought you were mad at me?"
"I am mad at you but yet I am thankful for what you did, trying to look on the bright side…just sleep with one eye open, I'll try my best to keep him far enough away but I will never kick you out…" Maryse said.
"I don't get you Maryse."
"I don't get why Adora still wants to be with you after last night but there is some things we just never know…" Maryse said shrugging as she turned around to walk away.
"Thank you Maryse…" I said, she stopped turning around giving me a slight smirk.
"No problem…" Maryse said as she went to turn back around.
"I told Hunter…I came clean, I wanted them to find out from me…" I said, I figured she would want to know, she stopped turning back around walking the short distance back to me.
"What did he say?" Maryse asked as I leant against the table.
"He said he was going to call a conference and that I may get suspended or fired…" I said.
"Hate to say it Alex but you did realize that your actions come with consequences right?" Maryse asked crossing her arms over her chest.
"I know…you think Addie will leave me for someone else if I got fired?" I asked.
"Alex, she won't leave you if you got fired and if I know my sister, she won't let you get fired…plus, if she didn't leave you after last night, I think it will take a whole lot more than you getting fired to get her to break up with you." Maryse said.
"Okay…thanks Maryse…" I said smirking.
"No problem…" Maryse said as she patted me on the shoulder before she walked out.
