After the first-ever aftermath ended Alex walked backstage and collapsed onto a couch, "One down... three to go..." Alex moaned as May tiredly walked through the backstage halls, "This... taken?" May asked.
"Nah." Alex took a deep breath, "I just need a moment. This stupid aftermath show is so stressful."
May gave a slight smile, "Eh... it wasn't that... bad. Well... mostly not that bad... anyways."
"Yeah, but you don't have to change your entire personality to be more... 'presentable'." Alex gagged as he put up air quotes.
May shrugged, "You did... a good job at it... at least."
"I guess, but I just do my own thing," Alex sighed, "I don't wanna deal with whatever Drew has for me. And I sure as hell don't want to be banned from talking to Will, like what is that? Drew just wants to milk him for ratings." Alex complained.
"Yeah... that's... uh... really bad." May agreed.
"Really bad is an understatement," Alex rolled his eyes, "That's just messed up and wrong in every regard, and I'm sure Drew knows it."
"Yeah... but there's nothing we can do..." May laid back, "I'm sorry... about that."
"To be honest," Alex looked down, "I kinda hope that Will gets eliminated, this show is clearly hurting him. Like I know I said I hope he doesn't do anything stupid, but at the same time, I kinda hope he does something to make himself get eliminated, I just wanna talk to him."
"I... know..." May yawned, "Who knows... maybe you will get to see him soon..." May yawned again, "Sorry... I'd love to keep talking but... I'm feeling really tired..." May dozed off and fell into either a daydream or fell asleep entirely, it was pretty hard to tell with her.
Alex sighed and got up, "No problem." he mumbled to himself, "Thanks for talking..."
