I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDE'S THE OC'S.
Adora's Point of View-
After we ate a wonderful breakfast that Mike had cooked for us, it took us at least 20-30 minutes to get settled into the car due to loading up the bags and the difficulty with my giant cast and crutches that always get in the way before Mike begun the drive to San Diego where Raw was being taped that night. We arrived to the arena in time to check in, we ate at catering, at least Maryse and I since Mike and Alex had to go suit up for their in ring promo, which meant I got to see Alex in a suit of sorts which I always enjoyed seeing him wear. Maryse escorted me to find Alex and I escorted Alex to the gorilla position. Alex stepped in front of me running his hand through my hair gently smirking happily.
"Alex, can you do me a favor?" I asked looking to my feet as he ran his hand through my hair again.
"Absolutely, what?" Alex asked.
"Don't get hurt, protect yourself and fight back."
"I can't…"
"I don't want to come to these events if all I am going to see is you getting beat up, it breaks my heart and I can't stand seeing you getting hurt day in and day out." I said honestly.
"I won't get hurt…it won't be for much longer sweetie…" Alex said.
"I don't want you getting hurt, especially with Mike being this angry, he's a loose cannon." I said knowing Mike enough that when he gets that mad, especially like he was yesterday, he is literally a loose cannon and he won't know what his strength is or what he is going to do, much like when he is in a good mood and having fun, he can do the weirdest but funniest things because he doesn't care.
"Addie, I got it…trust me…" Alex said as he slid his arms around me holding me tightly to his embrace kissing the top of my head.
"Alex, before you go out, here." Hunter said walking up to Alex handing him an envelope.
"What's this?" Alex asked, I was just as curious as he was.
"Information for your conference." Hunter said as he looked to me then back to Alex, "Good luck…" He said before he bowed out and walked back where he came.
"Let this not worry you either…I am going to take care of this." Alex said shaking the envelope that he was now holding even though I couldn't help to worry knowing inside that envelope held a date along with other information that may pertain to his future with this company and I was somehow involved in it.
"How can I not worry Alex?" I asked feeling tears coming to my eyes, Alex gently wiped at my eyes catching tears that had escaped.
"I know that you're going to worry even if I tell you not too because I'm worried but I don't want to sit here and let my worries ruin what we can do…there is nothing we can do right now besides wait and enjoy each other's presence." Alex said smiling as I made eye contact with him then he began playing with the tips of my hair.
"I love you Alex." I said as I tried to give him a kiss but I was having issues with balancing on my crutches and with my cast weighing my foot down, after a few failed attempts Alex finally leant down pressing his lips to mine for a passionate kiss, one that I always loved receiving and will hate losing if it had to come to it. Mike came to the gorilla position where he stiffened up the moment he saw us in each other's embrace.
"Alex, we have a show to do and I think you can find better use of your time Addie." Mike said looking to me, Alex looked from Mike to me.
"But I want-" I went to say.
"It doesn't matter what you want, you got to do what you got to do and that does not entail making out with Alex." Mike said.
"Mike, it's fine…Addie, maybe you should go sit down and ice your leg, it's got to be killing you." Alex said turning to look at me.
"You are…" I begun to argue with him.
"I'm just saying you don't want to make your leg worse." Alex said giving me a reassuring look and I nodded knowing he was right.
"Good luck." I said giving Mike a dirty look before I hobbled away to get a seat in the monitor room that they always have set up, they call it the green room which I never understood but I called it the monitor room because it always had 1-3 different monitors playing what was being filmed out in the ring. I sat down watching the screen when Mike came out to the ring doing his promo and fired Alex like he was 'supposed' to, it got to the point where Alex was to attack Mike and he didn't. I was a little proud of Alex for not doing it, that is just Alex though he hates fighting and confronting people like that, but Mike did the favor of starting the fight and Alex just took it, I don't know what got into him and I was getting furious with Mike for attacking Alex for not attacking him like he was supposed to and I could tell that Mike was not throwing fake punches either so I knew Alex was feeling the pain. I was also furious and worried about Alex's well being when Alex looked to the camera almost like he was making eye contact with me reading his lips as he said 'I love you.' I smiled when I read that before he reversed it and punched at Mike a couple of times before he stopped himself, I was slightly proud when Alex stopped himself getting up trying to help Mike up but Mike refused the help and I couldn't tell what they were saying to each other but I could tell Mike had a bloody nose. Alex climbed out and begun wandering up the ramp when Mike made the announcement that there was to be a match next Monday and it'll be a no disqualification match which frightened me a little. I nodded as I watched Alex nod as well before he went behind the curtain when Mike stayed in the ring a little while longer before he headed to the back. I sat there thinking about things wanting to clear my head about what I had just saw when I decided I wanted and needed to talk to Mike about what truly happened in hopes that will help make Mike less angry with Alex and help speed up the process of clearing the air between everyone as I finally got to my feet with the crutches properly under my arms hobbling to the men's locker room seeing Justin leaning against the wall outside it talking to a red head that looked like the male version of Wendy's.
"Hey Addie, how's the leg?"
"Hey J. Gabe, it's still attached unfortunately." I said smirking.
"This is Heath." Justin said as I shook the red head's hand.
"Nice to meet you Heath, sorry to interrupt but has Mike came back to the locker room yet?" I asked curiously.
"You just missed him, he came back for a few moments then headed back out to go to the medic for his nose…who did that to him?" Justin asked.
"Alex." I answered.
"We miss everything." Heath said.
"Is anyone else in there?" I asked nodding to the door that led into the locker room.
"Not that I know of, everyone is pretty much cleared out for now…why?" Justin asked.
"May I go in and sit until Mike returns? I really need to talk to him." I asked.
"Sure, go ahead and we will play guard." Justin said as he opened the door for me until I cleared it and he came in helping me rest my leg along the bench and put the crutches somewhere safe but yet close for me to grab if I needed them.
"Thanks Justin." I said smiling.
"No problem…but may I ask you something personal?" Justin asked as he got to the door about to push it open when he got done asking me.
"Sure." I said shrugging.
"Why are you still with Alex? I mean, I know you guys love each other and I have seen you guys around and you two are quite cute together, but why are you with him if he did that to your foot?" Justin asked.
"He didn't do this because he wanted to…it was a mistake and we all make mistakes…this could have happened by stepping off the curb wrong…I love Alex and you got to accept the consequences and the baggage that comes with the ones that you love…may I ask you a question from a outside persons point of view?" I asked.
"It's only fair." He said giving me that adorable smile and a slight shrug.
"Why is everyone treating it like he abused me? It's not like he physically beat me until my leg broke, he made the mistake of driving drunk which led to a car accident, yes car accidents are a serious situation much like drunk driving, but never understood why you all are jumping on this bandwagon like he is some guy that abuses women." I stated.
"That is a good question…maybe because your such a sweet girl that everyone loves and hate seeing you hurt and everyone knows how serious drunk driving can be, we all have heard the horror stories and maybe we are just worried since it had happened once that maybe it'll happen again…but hey, I'm happy for you two…I have never seen Alex that happy before and he definitely lucked out on you." Justin said as he winked before he walked out, I couldn't help but to smile and think I can see a good foreseeable friendship with him even if we don't hang out that much like Cena and I, but I can definitely see us becoming good acquaintances. I sat there trying to put together what I want to say to Mike when he came back and when the door opened I knew it must be Mike or Justin since he had promised he won't let anyone come in unless if it is Mike or himself. When Mike came around the brown wooden door with tissue shoved up the nostril of his nose and he looked tired and beat up knowing he had a rough night, which I saw.
"What's wrong Addie? You never wait for me in here unless if something is wrong or bothering you." Mike said.
"It's a little bit of both." I said when Mike let out a deep breath straddling the bench in front of me.
