Tonight Raw was in Washington. Brie was glad she wouldn't have to stay at a hotel. Although she and Daniel had been bickering ever since he forgot her birthday. Not to mention the problems she was still having with Nikki. Daniel was at a therapy session so Brie went out for a coffee. She got her coffee and was sitting at a table.
"Hey." She heard. She looked up and saw John.
"Hey."
"Can I sit down?"
"Sure." He sat down.
"How are you today?"
"Alright I guess."
"Wanna talk about it?"
"It's just Nikki, and Daniel did forget my birthday."
"He did?"
"Yeah he called me the next day and wished me happy birthday."
"Ouch."
"Tell me about it."
"No offense but what a dickhead."
"None taken." "We're still kind of arguing about it."
"I don't blame you." "Nikki would've killed me if I would've forgotten."
"I know." "I mean you remembered my birthday."
"Well it was kind of hard not to." "It's the same day as Nikki's."
"Yeah but still." "Where is she?"
"At an autograph signing."
"Oh."
"Well I gotta go but I'll see you at work."
"Ok."
"Bye."
"Bye."
Later that night Nikki and John had just returned from the show. They were at the hotel.
"Did you see what I had done to Brie tonight?"
"Yes Nikki." John said annoyed.
"What John?"
"You've been talking about it all night like it was the greatest thing ever."
"It was."
"It was cruel and mean."
"It was hilarious."
"Ok fine." "You think it was hilarious." "Can we drop it now?"
"What's your problem?"
"You're obsessed Nikki." "You're always talking about what you've done to Brie or what you're gonna do." "Give it a rest."
"I'm sorry." "Can I make it up to you?" She asked smiling.
"I'm not in the mood." "I'm going out." He left.
Brie walked through the door.
"I'm home." Brie said.
"Hi." Daniel said.
"I have a headache."
"Want an aspirin?"
"No." "What a night."
"Yeah I know the situation with Nikki sucks right now."
"You have no idea."
"I'm gonna go to bed."
"Fine."
"What?"
"Nothing Daniel." "Goodnight." Brie left.
John pulled into an all night donut shop. He went in and ordered a donut. As he turned around to find a seat, he spotted Brie sitting in a booth eating her donut. He went over to her.
"We've gotta stop meeting like this." John said jokingly.
"Hi John."
"Can I sit down?"
"Yeah." He sat down.
"Did you and Daniel have a fight?"
"Yeah." "You and Nikki to?"
"Yeah."
"I'm so frustrated with him right now."
"I know the feeling."
"I don't know how much more I can take John." "Not just with Nikki, with everything."
"Don't sell yourself short." "I can tell you're a strong person." "Don't lose that quality."
"Thanks." She said smiling. "It's nice to hear words of encouragement for a change."
"It's nice to see you smile for a change."
John walked Brie to her car.
"Thanks for walking me to my car." Brie said.
"No problem." She dropped her keys. They both bent down to pick them up and bumped heads.
"Ow!" They both said.
"That hurt." Brie said. "This time I'll get them."
"Ok." Brie picked up her keys.
"It's late." "I should go."
"Yeah." "Be careful."
"I will." "Bye."
"Bye."
Brie went home and changed. Daniel was asleep. She got in bed. Her text tone on her cell phone went off. The message read.
