Seth and Ellie had been sneaking around finding any moment possible to be together. However Seth had been putting more pressure on Ellie to leave her husband and as her fathers health worsen Ellie felt more tied to Punk.
To make matters worse the WWE had added a new Diva, Sandy, to the story line, who had been really friendly towards Seth out of the ring.
Seth and Ellie were in the shields dressing room.
"Are you coming over tonight?" Seth asked between Kisses.
"I can't tonight." Ellie said sadly
"Why not?" Seth started kissing her neck hands roaming under her shirt
"Phil is going to stay in all night so I can't sneak out" said Ellie with a sigh
Sandy walked in with Dean and Roman.
"Woaaahh free show" laughed Dean
"Shit!" Seth pulled away and fixed his clothes.
"Oh my God" Ellie turned to face the wall buttoning up her shirt
Sandy looked away.
Roman shook his head "we are going to have to start putting something on the door to let us know you guys are in here. Like college kids" he laughed
Ellie was extremely embarrassed
"we're all family here" Dean putting his arm around Ellie
"Leave her alone, Dean" said Seth pulling Ellie onto his lap
Sandy was looking around feeling uncomfortable
"If someone else walks in on your guys and tells Punk you are going to ruin us all. " Said Sandy
"No one walks in here except for you guys and you guys won't tell Punk so you have nothing to worry about" Said Seth laying his chin on Ellie's shoulder.
"I really like you Ells and I like how happy my brother is when you are around, but Sandy is right. Why don't you just talk to Punk just end it and do things the right way. " Said Roman who usually stayed out of other peoples business.
"Sorry It was never my intention to put anyone in "Harms way". I'll see you later Seth" Ellie got up and walked out
Seth looked down
"You deserve better, Seth…you deserve someone who gives you your place in her life." She put her hand on his arm
"I deserve her. She's my girl." Said Seth
Sandy shook her head walked out to let the boys get ready for their match.
That night Ellie was sitting with Phil watching a scary movie.
Ellie texted Seth "Hi Handsome, miss you so much" SEND
Seth reached for his phone and smiled. He had been alone in his room driving himself crazy thinking of Ellie being alone with Punk the whole night.
"I want to see you" – Seth
"Told ya, not tonight. He is on some scary movie marathon so it looks like it's gonna be a long time" – Ellie
Seth felt even more jealousy at the thought of a "long night". He wanted long nights with her, he wanted movie marathons he was sick of the left overs.
"on my way to go get you" – Seth
"Lol. Silly" – Ellie
Seth stared at his phone and stood up.
"I'm gonna do it." He said to himself
He made his way to Punk's and Ellie's room and he knocked.
"Did you order room service?" Punk asked Ellie
"No. Maybe wrong door?" Ellie got up and opened the door all color left her face.
"What are you doing here?" she whispered
"I told you I was gonna come get you" Seth smiled
"Are you crazy?! " Ellie was freaking out
"Ells who is it?" Punk made his way to the door
"What the fuck do you want, Rollins?" Punk asked
"I am here to take what's mine." Seth looked into her eyes
"You must be fucking stupid. Get the fuck out of here " Punk punched Seth
Seth returned the bunch turning it into an all out brawl at the hotel hallway
"Stop! Stop!" Ellie was trying to pull them apart
Dean and Roman heard the commotion and ran out pulling the two men apart.
Dean had Seth again the wall
"Are you fucking crazy do you know what this could do if Vince finds out?!" Dean asked his friend
Ellie was shaking, looking at them both all bloodied up.
Dean pushed Seth back into his room.
Ellie followed wanting to make sure he was ok.
She grabbed his face
"you are so stupid!" she kissed his lips
"oww" Seth put his fingers up to his lips.
Roman walked in
"Punk is threatening to call Vince if you don't go back right now, Ells" Said Roman
Seth grabbed her hand
"Let him call whoever he wants." Seth looked at Ellie in the eyes
"you will get suspended. Who knows for how long." Said Roman
"Shit" Dean ran his fingers through his hair
Ellie looked around at the 3 men that had been so kind to her since she first started at the WWE, she knew she was going to hurt their career. It was the last thing she wanted. She loved Seth more than anything and she knew how much he had fought to be where he now and she wouldn't be able to live with herself if he lost it all because of her.
After Seth had fallen asleep that night, Ellie left a letter for him and took the first flight home.
The letter said
My Dearest Seth,
Thank you. Thank you for being so wonderful to me. Your love is the most wonderful to thing to have happened to me. I want nothing but good things for you and I know that if I stick around, Phil will not stop until you are gone from WWE. I know how much your career means to you and I would not be able to live with myself. I am not going back to Phil and my only regret is that I didn't leave him sooner. You deserved it. I will love you always. I hope you can forgive me one day for being a coward.
Love,
Your Ellie.
