That Sunday was hell in a cell. Seth was going to fight who was once his best friend. It had been a very emotional week for him not only was he preparing for a match that was mentally and emotionally difficult but he had also found Ellie.
He had fought off the urge to leave his ego aside and go look for her. He couldn't get her out of his mind and he couldn't wait to leave Chicago.
Ellie's friend Jen had got some tickets from work and had begged Ellie to come along. Her boss knew Vince so they came with VIP tickets.
Ellie sat in the crowd uncomfortable.
"I hate you. I didn't know they were ringside seats" Ellie looked around greeting people that recognized her from her story line with Punk.
"let's go to the back!" Jen said excitedly
"no way. Are you nuts? He will be there." Said Ellie grabbing onto her seat
"Don't you have friends you want to say hi to? Introduce me to …like Dean Ambrose come on.! Be a pal" Jen begged
"Fine. You so owe me" Ellie said walking into the back
Walking into the backstage area brought Ellie back a lot of memories, most of them of her and Seth sneaking around trying to find hidden corners to meet. She couldn't help but smile to herself.
"This is aammmaazing! Hot guys walking around everywhere. I don't know how you quit this heaven" Jen was looking around enjoying the view.
Ellie laughed
"Ellie?" Dean had walked up behind them
"Dean..Hi!" Ellie smiled hoping he didn't also hate her
"what a surprise" Dean gave her a hug
"Nervous for tonight?" Ellie hated that this match was happening. In her time at the WWE she had seen first hand the damage that those cage matches did and she was extremely nervous for the both of them.
"Naw. I am ready. Your boy should be nervous though" Dean smiled
"Oh brother. He is far from my boy anymore" Ellie sighed
"Yeah, he's changed a little hasn't he?" Dean looked at Jen "And who is this?"
"I'm Jen" Jen put her hand out and smiled not waiting for Ellie to introduce
Dean smiled at her and shook her hand "Well, nice to meet you Jen..what are you ladies up to? "
"Well, I want to see more of the backstage area but Ellie is like terrified to get past this point" Said Jen
"I can show you around" Dean offered
"That sounds great. You don't mind do ya Ellie?" Jen gave her friend a look
Ellie laughed "you guys go ahead. " She hugged Dean goodbye and watched them walk away and turned around to walk to the exit
She saw Seth talking to someone from a distance. For some reason seeing him made her extremely nervous for him. She had a random urge to cry and beg him to not go into that cage.
Seth could feel someone watching him he looked up and saw Ellie. He walked over since he also felt kind of guilty about walking out on her at the restaurant the other day.
"Came to see my demise? " Seth joked
"Don't even joke about that!" Ellie said "you be very careful out there you hear me? Don't try to do anything stupid." Ellie looked into his eyes
Seth was taken back by her show of concern.
"it's a cage match, Ells. Goes hand in hand with stupid stuff" Seth smiled
Ellie wrapped her arms around his neck. Which surprised him.
Seth rubbed her back.
"calm down. I will be fine. I gotta go do a video promo for the pre show" he hugged her back now
Ellie shook her head and watched him go.
Ellie sat in her seat and enjoyed the show. Every so often glancing up at the cage hanging above the ring, which made a knot in her stomach.
Jen walked to her seat.
"Well nice of you to join me" Ellie said
"Dean is amazing! Anyway. They're next" Jen sat next to Ellie
Ellie watched their entrances and smiled at Seth when he made eye contact.
The two were set to destroy each other from the moment the match started.
Ellie could hardly breath watching the two former friends beat each other up.
She watched in horror as they both were fighting on top of the cage
"No no no" Ellie put her hands up to her mouth
Just then she saw as Seth misplaced his foot and fell from the top of the cage all the way to the bottom.
The bell was rung as the ref had called off the match. The whole arena had gone quiet. Emergency personnel rushed ringside to help Seth.
Ellie was in shock as they wheeled him to the back. She ran backstage with Jen and they saw Seth being rushed to an ambulance.
Ellie ran over "Is he ok? "
Dean was there watching as well "He's unconscious. Shit..I did not want that happen"
"Can I go with him? " asked the paramedics and hoped inside when she got the ok
