She was in searing pain… and all she had done was try to help out in her own way.
But here, Amanda was sprawled out on the black leather mat that separated her tiny frame and the concrete… in too much pain to even scream as a pair of worried blue eyes looked at her, the familiar ones of her boyfriend.
"Ouch…" Amanda managed to say, dragged out a bit as Finn picked her up into his arms and held her close to him… which sent the pain in her sternum and pelvic areas through the roof and she screamed as Finn tried to comfort her.
"It's okay, it's okay… shh." Finn whispered as tears streamed down both of their faces and he clung on tighter to Amanda as Sheamus ran to them. "Back off!" He growled menacingly at the red haired Irishman.
"It was an accident-" Sheamus starts to say.
"I said back off! You could've broken something, did you look before running at the ropes?!" Finn yelled, lightly rubbing Amanda's back when she flinched and clung onto his leather jacket.
He rarely yelled, especially around her after she had been on the wrong end of too many violent tempers… but he was pissed off because she was hurt and hurt badly.
Brushing past Sheamus and the others, Finn took Amanda up the ramp and into the backstage area as a concerned Corey took his headset off and followed them… she drew deep yet careful breaths through her mouth and nose but her tiny body was still trembling against his larger one as paramedics rushed to them with a stretcher.
Corey gave them a look that meant to stop for a second before he turned to the two, Amanda not looking up and Corey knowing why her distrust of paramedics was there.
Somehow after her first seizure, Amanda had gotten herself unstrapped off of the backboard in what Corey guessed was an attempt to get free in her disoriented state of mind… and the paramedics were less than gentle when strapping her back to it, Corey having seen bruises on her arms when he had stopped by to see her that night.
"She's gonna be okay, Finn… they just need to make sure nothing's broken." Corey says softly after seeing Finn instinctively tighten his grip on Amanda but not to the point where she would be in worse pain.
Amanda nodded, Finn carefully untangling her from him and placing her on the backboard… she didn't scream when they strapped her to it but she was trembling like a frightened child, Finn reaching out and holding her right hand in his own while brushing her bluish black hair back with his left hand.
It had taken a while but in a nearby E.R, Amanda had been through X-Rays and MRI scans… nothing was broken but she had some really bad bruising and she was admitted for observation.
"I was gonna surprise you later…" Amanda says, Finn looking at her as he held her hand again. "Rose petals on the bed, some music and candles…" She says before they kissed again.
"We'll wait til you're better for that, lass… doesn't mean we can't be close." Finn says, standing up out of the metal chair and sitting down again but this time, it was on the bed as he carefully took Amanda into his arms and she rested her head on his torso.
Amanda began to relax completely, their arms wrapped around each other as they kissed again.
But relaxed didn't mean that Finn wasn't still angry at Sheamus for what had happened.
