Quitters
Sometimes, we need to think of big solutions to get rid of big problems...
Daphne Consuelos and Colby Lopez opened the door to Phil and April Brooks' home in Chicago, Illinois after a movie date. The reason that Daphne was still living with Phil was because she still had no idea where she wanted to live. Did she want to go back to Ajax with her parents or live in with Colby in Davenport, Iowa? The two of them had been going on for about three months now, so it did not seem right for them to move in with each other? One thing that she was sure about was that she wanted to move out of Phil's home because she had enough with April. She knew that when she moved in with Phil that she would have to deal with his petite wife, but Daphne saw April at work and did not want to see her in a home. At work, Triple H was booking Daphne versus April for the Divas Championship at Survivor Series and was unsure with which Diva he wanted to be champion, but he wanted this match to be a good match like the ones at NXT.
Daphne was still dealing with her shoulder injury and wore the sling on her date, while her ribs slowly began to heal up, but were not back to one hundred percent, Vince still wanted her to wrestle at the event. The same thing applied with April, who claimed that she was already one hundred percent and was ready to wrestle, but Daphne knew for a fact that it was impossible and that she was trying to kiss ass to the Chairman.
"So, you claim that Phil and April are not here?" Colby whispered the minute that he entered the house. The one thing that he did not want to get involved with was with another ugly confrontation with Phil because the last time that he had seen the guy was at Thanksgiving in Ajax and it did not go well at all. He wondered if Phil was still convincing Daphne not to wrestle because Colby had been doing his best to do the exact opposite.
"Yeah, he and April went to get some dinner and should not be back until eleven," Daphne whispered back to him as the slowly walked into the living room, before Colby turned on the lights of the living room and that was when Daphne screamed and covered her eyes. Colby made a disgusted noise as the couple saw April stripped down to her bra and panties, sitting on top of Phil, who was in his boxers as they groped each other. April got off of Phil as she felt embarrassed for them to walk into one of their "lovely" sessions.
"What the fuck are the two of you doing here?" Phil screamed as he got off the couch and quickly found his pants to put back on, "I thought the two of you were going on your movie date! I thought that I would have the house to April and myself for the next couple hours! God, next time, please call or text me, when you're going to be coming home!" he sighed as April scuffed, having a mouthful to say to Daphne.
"The next time? There is not going to be a next time because I am kicking her out of our home," April took a few steps towards Daphne after she put on her shirt again, "You have overstayed your welcome here and I think it is time that you make the decision, but hell, I'm making the decision of you're not going to be bunking with us! So, it looks like you have no other choice, but to either live with Colby or go and live with your parents because I have had enough with seeing you in the presence of my own home. I can barely stand the sight of you at work. You know what Daphne? I give you forty-eight hours. Forty-eight to pack your belongings and get the hell out of our home." she demanded. She had enough of having Daphne live under their roof. She did not care if her husband valued her has a friend, but he also needed to take her feelings under consideration.
Daphne did not like that April talked to her in that particular fashion. However, she did have a point; she overstayed her welcome with them and she needed to find a place, where she can. She felt like in her heart, she needed to be the better person and give her what April wanted and that was a home, where she does not need to look into the eyes of Daphne Consuelos. Daphne took a deep breath, before responding to the Divas Champion, "You want me out of your home? Alright, I'll do that, but I want to thank the both of you for letting me stay and I'll be out of your guys' place within two days. It is no problem with me. I'll find a place, where I can stay and call my home." she responded cooperatively as Colby and Phil exchanged a look with each other, seeing that Daphne was not trying to start an argument and feeling very uncomfortable about it.
April smirked, loving that she got what she wanted, "Great! But, I'm going to retain my championship." she turned on her heels and marched to the kitchen as Daphne displayed a fake smile, before she left. There was no doubting that Daphne had grown to hate April for everything that she has done, but she was not going to let this woman get the best of her. She hoped that WWE Management saw things her way and that they will finally approve the idea of her winning the Divas Championship. She had high hopes for her feud with April and she hoped that things were finally in her favor.
"So, you walked into Phil and April getting it on?" Jonathan Good was informed of the encounter that she and Colby had with Phil and April. The whole thing still freaked out Daphne and she had no idea, which of her friends she wanted to open up the news to, so she decided that she would open up to Jon, a man that she would not consider her friend, but someone that was really forward with her and could lightened up the emotions that she felt, "I probably would have never gotten the vision out of my eyes, but it sucks for you!" he teased, while he laughed as Daphne sat next to him in the trainer's room. Daphne was getting her shoulder evaluated by Dr. Andrews, while Jon was getting his ribs taped. He was just like Daphne and he felt the impacts of Hell in a Cell.
"April gave me this ultimatum that I needed to find a place to move into because she does not even want to be under the same roof as me. I gave her what she wanted, so I have been living in hotel rooms for the past few days. I mean, I would live with Colby, but I feel like its too soon in our relationship to be moving in and I wanted to be sure that moving in with Colby was going to be the next step of our relationship. Also, I do not want to live under the same roof as my folks because they normally have their ways of treating me like shit and then with Connie, she is at school and I do not want to distract her, so I am basically homeless. I do not want to live with John Cena and Nikki because they are like mating jackrabbits and with Brie and Bryan, they do not even have a television, so I would not be able to survive for as long as I want to. Plus with Renee, she's difficult to live with. I got in an argument with my parents when I was seventeen and I asked to live with Renee and she is one of the most sloppiest people that I have met in my entire life! I couldn't bear it!" Daphne exclaimed as Jon nodded in agreement. Renee was not one of the most cleanest people that he had ever met, but he decided to look past that.
"Yeah, Renee is not the best person, if you want a clean place to live in, but," Jon sighed, knowing that he was going to hate himself for the rest of his life for giving this offer to Daphne, but she had been running out of options and he needed to help her in some way, "If you are looking for a temporary place to live, then you can come bunk with me in Las Vegas. I know, that we've had our differences in the past, but I hate to see you bitch and complain because it gets fucking annoying from time to time, but I do not want to see you be homeless. OW!" he yelled, when he felt the tape being wrapped around his stomach by Dr. Andrews, "Be easy with me, Doc! I got to wrestle Bray Wyatt at Survivor Series!"
"Are you sure that Renee will not get jealous? I mean, the two of you have been going out for about seven months now and I do not want her to get the wrong feeling. Will she be offended that you asked her best friend to move in with you rather than her? The last thing that I wanted to do was cause some tensions between the two of you. I hate you guts, but I actually like seeing you happy. You have never been this happy in your entire life and its fucking adorable seeing you all happy and giddy like a school boy," Daphne grinned as Jon rolled his eyes as he elbowed Daphne in her right arm, "OW! The fuck!" she hit him in the ribs as Jon growled in pain, "You fucking asshole! Don't fucking touch me!"
"Are you still seeing that therapist?" Jon asked randomly as Daphne raised a brow.
"Yeah, I have an at home appointment next week, why?" she asked, not knowing why Jon asked her such a question. She was still seeing Jamie, her therapist and she has been able to pick things from herself that she would have never seen without her assistance. She knew that she would have to talk to Renee, before she gave Jamie a certain address for their appointment. As much as she like the office, she would rather much prefer a home because maybe Jamie would be able to pinpoint something about the way that she presents herself in front of her.
"I just have been seeing a little change in you; that is all," Jon nodded and looked straight ahead of him, "I just hope that you are able to get better." she could have sworn that she saw Jon smile, but she could not confirm that. Was there compassion from Jon Good that Daphne was seeing for the first time ever? Daphne got her shoulder checked as Dr. Andrews twisted her arm, trying to see if Daphne felt pain from it.
"I hope I get better as well." Daphne whispered.
"I do not get why the two of you are fighting in the very first place," Daphne Anne yelled at Brie and Nikki Bella. She was furious at them because they were identical twin sisters. They were blood related and they should not be fighting because there was a saying that goes: blood is thicker than water. She hoped that The Bella Twins will eventually realized that. The three of them were backstage, Nikki and Brie sitting on The Authority's couch, while Daphne stood in front of them, trying to get them to mend their broken relationship, "You two are The Bellas! You are "Fearless" Nikki Bella. You are the woman that Stephanie McMahon selected as my replacement if I never came back to the WWE," she looked at Nikki and then at Brie, "You are "Brie Mode" Brie Bella! You are the woman that has overcame so much from Handicap matches to wrestling with one hand tied behind her back... and WINNING! You do not realized that you are strong as a team as you are as individuals!"
Brie stood up and looked into the eyes of her old rival, "You do not realized the things that I have been through since you left. I have been put through hell and I have been stabbed in the back. What happened with you? You broke down because things were not going your way and you quit, when things got tough for you. I did not do that, when my sister turned her back at me at SummerSlam and when she and Stephanie have made my life a living hell. I thought, when you returned that there was a glimmer of hope that you would be my knight in shinning armor, but I think you made it pretty damn clear what side you're on and it breaks my heart to say is that you are on Nikki's side. I guess, "sellouts" have to stick with each other." this was the last thing Brie said, before she stormed out of the office, feeling disappointed at Daphne.
"What's her problem?" Nikki scuffed, "Daphne, you do not realize how much I want to rekindle my relationship with my sister. I never meant the things that I've said to her, but she brings the ugly out of me sometimes. The thing is: I love Brie, she is my twin sister, but I just want her to see things in my perspective. I want her to see that the things that I have done will benefit us in the future. What I have done is not only good for Nikki Bella, but they are also good for the Bella Brand. Sadly, she fails to see that." she sighed as Daphne put a hand on her shoulder.
"She'll come around. I mean, the three of us have a common goal and that is to dethrone AJ Lee as Divas Champion. I mean, she is already tied with Eve Torres as a three time Divas Champion. I feel like we need to put a stop to her before it is too late. I feel like if we tell Brie what I have said to you, then she will be on board with our plan to get rid of AJ." Daphne explained as Nikki nodded, trying to take in all of Daphne's words.
"You honestly think that you can dethrone a queen?" the camera went to Divas Champion, AJ Lee, who stood inches from them with her custom t-shirt and title on her shoulder, "What in the hell makes you think that I am going to bow to you bitches? I do not see that happening anytime soon. Who knows? I might surpass my record title reign of two hundred ninety-five days. I might solidify my place as the face of the Divas Division. I think that this is what the WWE Universe would want from me. If they want me to get rid of a bunch of reality trash, then that is exactly what I will do. What are you going to do about that, Daphne Anne?" she asked with a smirk on her face, while Daphne nodded and gave a fake smile, while the two Divas exchanged a look with each other, inches apart.
"What I am going to do about it is the one thing that needs to be done. At Survivor Series, you are defending the Divas Championship, but if you lose, you not only lose your title, but you lose your career," Daphne dropped an ultimatum of her own, even though it was part of the scripts. AJ looked even more angry as Daphne smirked, "How do you like them apples? You could lose everything to the girl that you have taken everything away from. How ironic is that?" she grinned as she gave Nikki a high five, "I'll give you time to digest to all of that." she told her as she and Nikki walked past AJ, who had not seen the stipulation coming.
How many expected that stipulation to happen? I kind of wanted to play with the rumors of AJ leaving WWE around Survivor Series time and make that into an angle. Also, how do you think that Renee will respond to the fact that Jon offered Daphne a place to stay? How do you think Colby will respond to the news? Hopefully, you all enjoyed the chapter and please favorite, follow and review! :)
