Author's Note: Yay! Back with another new chapter. Thank you to all my readers and enjoy reading yet another chapter. It's a bit shorter and I don't think there's that much drama. Just an fyi, lol.

Wade pushed back the curtain as he walked backstage. He had been eliminated so he had no choice but to leave. It sucked because he was so close to winning. He had just two more Superstars to eliminate and he would have become the new World Heavyweight Champion. He knew he would get his chance to shine though. He had to keep thinking positive through the negativity he was having.

When Wade got to his locker room, he thanked the security guard for making sure Elle stayed put and although he was informed Phil went in, he didn't mind. There was only one person that he couldn't have stay away from Elle and that was her older brother. Phil was the most important person in her life, more important than him and he could understand that. He walked into his room to find Elle watching the chamber match still. Her legs were hugged to her chest, her chin resting on her knees, her eyes glued to the television. She stayed still, even when he sat on the couch with her. She didn't even look his way. "You're a troublemaker, Elle. You're unfaithful, you're a liar, I feel like I can't trust you anymore, and you're in love with another man. You defend everyone but me, you don't want a family with me, your career's more important than me. Hell, it seems like everything and everyone else is more important to you than me. I feel like you don't love me anymore, at all. Asking for a divorce would be the easy way out and that's what you probably want, but I'm not doing that."

"And what are you doing? Trying to make me feel bad?" Elle remarked.

"You're a bitch, too and a whore. And no, I'm not. I'm simply stating the truth," Wade replied.

"Why are you doing this?"

"Because you need to know what you're doing to me. I've tried everything to be a good husband to you and to be honest, I really have no idea why you're treating me this way. I do apologize for all the times I hurt you, I was in no position to be like that, but you cheating on me just brought that out. I'm sorry for everything, Elle. For lashing out on you, for hurting you, for any wrong I've ever done, but I truly want to work things out. I hope you do, too." He got up without another word and headed to shower.

Elle heard every single word Wade said, good and bad. He was being very sincere with her and he was giving her the chance for the two of them to work things out like she hoped to. "You love him, Elle," she whispered to herself. She got up and walked into the bathroom. Wade said nothing even though he knew she was there. "I want us to go back to how we used to be and be happy again, Wade." She heard the water shut off and then Wade came out dripping wet, a towel wrapped around his waist. His green eyes had connected to her own ones, his face blank with no expression. She had no idea what he was thinking and usually, she was able to.

"I want you to eliminate Dolph from your life before we can do this. He's the whole reason why we're like this and the only way to start fresh is to pretend he doesn't exist," Wade demanded.

Elle nodded her head. She didn't want to, but this was for the best. "Fine," she said, crossing her arms.

"I'd like to be there when you tell him what's going on."

"Wade, I think it's bet-"

But he interrupted her. "No. I can't have you be alone with him anymore."

"Fine. Get dressed so we can do this." If he wanted to do that to her, then this would be done now. No waiting until later or tomorrow to tell Dolph and fix things. They would start everything tonight. Especially since that's what it seemed like Wade wanted. Once he was dressed, they headed toward Dolph's locker room since that's where Elle thought he'd most likely be.

She knocked heavily onto his door and he answered a second later. He seemed happy to see her. Probably because he had no idea Wade was there. She smiled lightly at him. She knew in a few minutes that smile they both had wouldn't be there anymore.

"So the bastard finally let you out, I see," Dolph said, taking her hand and lacing it with his.

That's when Wade stepped in. "Actually, the bastard is right here. She's on lockdown until she does this," he informed his colleague.

"What is he talking about?" Dolph asked, looking at Elle.

She looked down. Their hands were still enlaced together even after Wade spoke. She smiled again. As she looked back up at Dolph, he had a look of worry on his face. He already knew this was going to be bad news. "We can't do this anymore, Dolph," she said, taking back her hand. She crossed her arms over her chest, not being able to look at him any longer. "And I'm not just talking about our affair. I can't be friends with you either. I'm so sorry."

Dolph had no idea how to feel. He just had a mix of emotions brewing in him. He took a glance over at Wade and the Brit had a smug look on his face. "This is all your doing!" he shouted, pushing Wade. The man stumbled a bit, but he didn't fall over like Dolph hoped he would. If Wade hadn't pushed Elle into doing this, he knew she wouldn't do it. He just had a strong feeling she wouldn't.

"Actually, it isn't just me. Elle had a say in this as well and she agreed to it. You know she wouldn't do this if she didn't agree," Wade pointed out.

Dolph looked at Elle who was staring at the ground. She hasn't looked at him since she last spoke. "Please tell me he's lying, Elle," he begged as he tried to make her look at him.

"I'm sorry," was all she managed to say. She then turned on her heel and walked away.

"Stay away from her, Ziggler. You've caused enough problems in my marriage," Wade threatened. He then walked off, too, going after his wife. He found her sitting on top of a crate, her legs crisscrossed, a distant look on her face. She didn't look too happy, but he knew he could make her happy again. He just had to try and make things right. "Are you alright, love?" Wade wanted to make sure as he stood in front of her.

"Yeah," she sniffled, smiling up at him. "I'm fine."

"Don't worry. This is all for the best," he assured her.

"I know, baby." She gave him a kiss and then wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Hey!"

Elle and Wade turned when they heard a familiar voice. It was Phil. "Don't say anything to make him mad," Elle asked of Wade. "Actually, just don't say a word. I'll explain everything." He nodded his head, respecting her wish. Elle looked at her brother as he got closer. He didn't look too happy.

"What's this I heard about Wade forcing you to break up friendships?" Phil exclaimed.

"He didn't force me into anything and whatever Dolph is telling you is a lie. I broke off my friendship with him because he's the reason why my marriage is a wreck. If I eliminate him from my life, I can go back to being happy with my husband," Elle explained to Phil. "We all know that you don't like Wade, but you did at one point. Can you just support me with this decision?"

"You know I'll always support you, sis. No matter what, but do you honestly have to eliminate one of your best friends from your life?" Phil wanted to know.

Elle nodded her head. "For now, at least. Once everything is back to normal with Wade and I, I can let Dolph back into my life."

"He's devastated, brokenhearted."

"And it serves him right. Now he knows how I felt when I found everything out," Wade spoke up. He then walked away, leaving the brother and sister to themselves.

"I'm sorry, Phil. It is what it is. I'm not talking to Dolph until everything is good with my husband and I. I could of asked for a divorce, but in some way, I don't think I can do it. It may have not looked like it lately, but I do really love Wade. I just fell in love with someone else along the way."

"Fair enough. Breakfast tomorrow morning?" he suggested.

"Is Wade invited?"

Phil chuckled. "Sure." He hugged Elle before leaving to start gathering his things. The pay-per-view was almost done and everyone would be leaving and heading back to their hotel to get some rest.

Once Phil left, Elle headed to the Divas' locker room to get her things and then meet Wade. Maryse was in there when she walked in. "Hi Mars," she replied when the beautiful French-Canadian greeted her. "Heading out?"

"Oui. Mike's waiting for me. He's taking me out to dinner," Maryse smiled.

"How sweet of him," was all Elle managed to spit out.

Maryse noticed her best friend wasn't as upbeat and happy as she usually was. But then again, she hasn't been like that at all lately an whenever she asked if everything was okay, Elle said it was. She really disliked that Elle wouldn't tell her anything that's been going on with her. "Are you alright, Elle?"

"I'm fine," Elle responded.

This time Maryse had to object. "No, you're not. You're lying to me and to yourself!" the blonde exclaimed.

Elle sighed heavily. "I don't want to talk about this right now, Maryse. I have to go. Wade's waiting for me." She took her things and left the room before Maryse said another word. She felt a little bad that she's been keeping her best friend out of the loop with her life, but she knew sooner or later she would have to tell her. Maybe later would be best. When she found Wade, he was just walking out of the locker room. She smiled at him before proceeding to give him a quick kiss.

"You all ready to go?" he asked.

"Mhmm," she replied. She took his extended hand and they were off.

Author's Note: I leave you here. Promise there's better stuff coming up.
