The little group of six returned to their locker room, where a backstage help had returned Seth's belongings, they were all sat their thinking about the events that had just happened, and what might happen with the Authority now they didn't have either of Paige or Seth. Roman was sat next to AJ, who was using his shoulder as a cushion and leaning against him, almost as if he was a big Samoan teddy bear, Dean was sat opposite Roman and AJ with Emma wrapped up in his arms, where as Seth was sat on the far end of the room, with his head in Paige's lap smiling up at her, finally happy that he had got what he wanted most, his close friends back.

"Seth" suddenly said Emma, curiosity getting the best of her about one thing in-particular. "Why didn't you tell any of us when The Authority gave you that ultimatum?" asked Emma, that was the only thing that was bugging her at the moment, and she couldn't hold back any longer, she had to know, Seth had turned his head in Paige's lap to look at her, while she spoke and smiled at her when she finished speaking, he knew this was coming and he had to admit he owed when all an explanation, considering everything he had single handed put them all through, he was still trying to get over the fact that Paige had given him another chance, and hadn't given up on him in the first place.

"In all honesty, I didn't know how to tell you, it killed me not knowing how to tell you, there were several times I almost told all of you, and I know now that I should have told you, because you guys would have helped me through it, and stuck by me like you always have" said Seth answering the question and feeling incredibly stupid for not telling at least one of them what happened when it actually happened, maybe if he had told them, then they would have been able to find away out of it, away to defeat The Authority, by doing what they do best, and by doing what the love together as a team.

It went silent again after that, Seth had shifted so that Paige was now wrapped up in his arms, he couldn't believe The Authority wanted him to let her go, so they could put him with Nikki Bella, his unfortunate worst nightmare for a girlfriend, he wanted Paige and Paige only, nobody could replace her in his mind, because of how extraordinary she was compared with all the other Diva's, she had raven black hair, instead of brown, red or blond, she was English, didn't wear a lot of make up or fake tan, and she didn't care what anyone thought of her, that's what he loved about her, she was different and proud of it.

"I never wanted to hurt you, I just wanted to protect you guys, without all of you then there wouldn't be Seth Rollins, I would be some random guy wrestling, I know now I should of told at least one of you when they gave me that choice and you guys would have helped me through it, and feel free to scream, shout, anything you have been holding back against me" said Seth, with his arms snaked around Paige and his head resting on her shoulder, he really was thankful she never gave up, he wouldn't have known what he would have done without her and to be honest he didn't want to know.

Emma untangled herself from Dean's arms and walked over to Seth and Paige, Paige moved out of the way as she knew what was coming by the look in the Australian's eyes, she had bottled up all her hurt and sadness when Seth left them, she was close to hating him, but bottled it all up to help Paige get through her tough time. Emma knew what Seth was doing and admired him for it, as she was certain nobody else would do it. Seth also sacrificed his own well being for the team, and that is what he was doing now, letting his four friends and girlfriend get the anger for him out so they can move on together. Seth stood up at Emma's request, not even attempting to defend himself when she constantly slapped him for about two minutes before she let out and breath and hugged him, he hugged back thankful that she still had her big heart to forgive him for hurting her sister like friend and her boyfriend. Roman refused to do anything to his friend, even when the said friend had turned on him, he had to much respect for him, plus he knew AJ, Dean and Paige had yet to let out their anger, and he knew it was going to hurt.

AJ walked up next looking incredibly angry, but Seth had expected her to be, after all he had practically asked his friends to be angry so they could let out all the anger they were holding back.

"I hated you for what you did to Roman, Dean, Emma and myself but more for what you did to Paige when your turned against us, but I admire how you are sacrificing your well being to let us get our anger out" said AJ, before she did one of her wrestling moves of a kick to the stomach to him, forcing him to fall back in the lockers, Paige appeared at his side, it didn't matter how angry she was, she could never bear to see him hurt. Once Paige had helped him up Dean stood in front of him, clearly angry, and frustrated, with what happened, or at Roman for not wanting to let his anger out.

"We stick together as one, you remember that was the promise we made when the girls joined us, but you Seth turned your back on it, you turned your back on your friends, your brothers, even your own girlfriend" said Dean, calm to begin with but was practically shouting by the time he had finished with what he was saying, that was the point when Seth stepped forward urging Dean to do something. Seth ended up on the floor after that, holding his mouth from where Dean had just sucker punched him. "But if it wasn't for you coming back, then we wouldn't have the Anti-Diva we all know and love, instead we would have the one bent on revenge" added Dean walking over to Emma and winding his arms around her waist hugging her close to him, like she was the only thing that could calm him down.

Seth looked around at Paige, wondering what she was going to do for revenge, if she was going to do anything, after all she was an unpredictable diva, something he loved about her, then again he loved everything about her, hence why they were dating. He was still on the floor well she was stood to his left, when a smile appeared on her face and she held out her hand, the one with the promise ring on it, Seth took hold of her hand and accepted her help, getting of the floor, waiting to hear what she had to say.

"When you gave me the promise ring, you promised me you would never give up and that we would be reunited, even when it doesn't seem like things will go that way, and when we started dating, you promised to be there whenever I needed you" said Paige remembering all three promises he had made to her, "You kept to two of those promises, even when you joined The Authority you never gave up, and now we are reunited, because you returned, but you weren't there when I needed you the most, the days after you left, I despised you for leaving that way, and I wanted to take out The Authority, you included" added Paige, stopping to wipe away her tears and try and calm herself down, Seth just stood in front of her, listening to what she was saying carefully, knowing she had been holding all of her feelings back for a while. "You broke my heart when you left, especially the way you left, and I wanted revenge, I didn't care if I had to take them out one by one. But the main thing I wanted to do was to make you feel, the pain you made me feel, when you broke my heart, betrayed AJ and Emma and attacked your own brothers" finally finished Paige, just letting her tears fall freely, and feeling a huge weight lifted from her shoulders now she had let out how she had felt the few weeks, and she knew it had hurt Seth finding out what she really felt like when he did what he did.

"When I said I would spend the rest of my days make it up to you, I meant it, I left you guys to protect you, but I left The Authority because I couldn't lose anyone of you, especially Paige, I will make it up to everyone of you, I don't care what I have to do and I will make it up to the WWE Universe too" replied Seth, pulling Paige into his arms, well she cried, he was only thankful that she had given him another chance, like his brothers had done along with Emma and AJ, and he knew if it ever happened again, he would always choose them over whoever they were against, they meant the world to him. Once they had discussed all of that, they decided to head back to the hotel, Punk was there too, as was Roman's wife and daughter, he couldn't wait to see them. Dean and Emma went to their own room as did Paige who dragged Seth along with her, He was going to get his own room and was surprised when she took hold of his hand and literately dragged him to the elevator to go to her floor, but he was also glad she trusted him enough, tomorrow was going to be one hell of a day as they were going to be filming Raw, and getting ready for the consequences of Seth returning to his friends.

Seth couldn't believe how lucky he was to have The Anti-Diva as his girlfriend both on and off screen, without her at his side every-day when returning to the hotel he felt lost, but knew now he had returned to the people he trusted and loved that she would be there for him and once again be at his side. Seth spent the rest of the night making it up to Paige, by the end of the night they were both in bed with Paige lying next to Seth, his arms tightly secured around her waist to make sure nobody can take her from him again. Seth whispered three little words lovingly into Paige's right ear.

"I love you"
