Since she had a break from filming SOA and Teen Wolf for the week, Tasha headed to Main Event with Jon, they were scheduled as guests on Miz TV.
Despite her heart breaking, Tasha seemed to be dealing with things well, she was channeling all of her emotions into Siren's rage against Seth. She had come to grips that there was no hope for her and Colby, so there was nothing for her to do than move on.
Siren and Dean walked hand in hand down to the ring after Miz announced them, Dean holding the ropes like a gentleman for Siren to enter. She had chosen to wear something a little sexier than her usual ring gear, mostly to show Colby what he had given up. She had on the LBD that Seth had bought her for their date and black ankle boots, her hair was down and she had light makeup on.
The two sat down in the chairs beside Miz, both of them glancing to one another in confusion as Miz spoke and Mizdow copied him like a puppet. It was really weird to sit and watch, and kind of distracting, as you didn't know which one of them to look at.
"You know, Dean, we've got a lot to talk about. But take out this week, it's been a long time since we've seen you. August 18th to be exact when this happened."
The showed the footage of Seth slamming Dean's head into the cinder blocks once again.
"You know, uh, my inside sources say that doctors believe that you sustained significant head and spine trauma. But no one really knows for sure because you refused treatment and, all of a sudden, disappeared. So I've got to ask you, where did you go and what kind of antipsychotic drugs did they put you on when you got there?"
Dean smiled, which was usually a very bad thing. "You think you're funny, Miz?"
"He is funny. Very, very, funny." Damien said, backing up his boss like a good little stunt double.
"You think that's a joke?" Siren snapped, tossing an icy glare Miz' way.
"No. But your skull was put into a pile of concrete which should have shattered your entire head. But somehow you just walked away from it."
"A normal person, doesn't walk away from that. But I'm not a normal person. I'm Dean Ambrose. I might go down. But I don't stay down. And you might not think it right now, but The Authority has picked a fight that they can't win."
"You know what I think?"
"Oh, please Miz, tell us. Because we all care so much about what a B-list celebrity thinks." Siren snarked, her sarcasm rolling off her tongue.
"I think you're both insane. I think that everyone here thinks that you're both insane. And I'll prove my theory. Last Monday on RAW, nothing could stop you from getting to Seth Rollins. Not even a locked room, being shoved in a locked room, being guarded by The Authority's personal security team. Then you escaped which leads to this."
Dean is laughing, biting his thumb nail, as they watch him taking the fight to Rollins and Kane last night.
"Y'all like that?" Miz asks and the crowd cheers. "They seem to like that. But what I want is the breaking news. You can trust me. How did you get out of the room? Did you blow it up? Did you have an accomplice? Did Siren trick the guards to leave? Give me the scoop. Talk to me. How did you get out? How did you pull it off?"
Dean and Siren glanced at one another, before Dean shrugged, "It's simple. There was a back door."
"A back door. Gee, thanks. That's-that's the big scoop? That's, that's it?"
Dean chuckles, "That's all I've got for you. The Authority put me in a room with two doors. I mean I'm not Houdini, you know. Sorry if you feel cheated."
"Cheated?" Miz says getting testy.
Siren rolled her eyes knowing this was going to start a tangent about him losing his title to Dolph last night.
"Oh, you think this makes me feel cheated? You think this is me being cheated? No, no, no, no. What happened on Monday Night RAW, that is the Miz getting cheated because Dolph Ziggler cheated to take my Intercontinental championship! He cheated!"
Dean is so confused by Damien copying Miz, that he's not even paying attention to Miz' ranting.
"He cheated! He grabbed the tights! You saw it. They saw it. Dolph Ziggler knows it. The referee saw it. I will start a petition, a petition to The Authority. That is being cheated! That is what cheating is all about! Do you hear me? Do you get it through your thick skull?"
Siren sits back in her chair smiling as Miz gets up in Dean's face, a second later she's clapping her hands and laughing as Dean head butts Miz right in the forehead. He gets up and tosses Damien out of the ring, before grabbing Miz and delivering "Dirty Deeds" and the man, planting him on the canvas.
Siren laughs out loud as Dean touches his forehead, yelling out, "Ow!"
She watches him pick an unconscious Miz up and set him back in his chair, placing his sunglasses on and putting the mic in his hand.
"Thank you, Miz, you've been a great host. We'll see you next time on Miz TV."
Dean and Siren smile as he helps her down out of the ring and the two walk back up the ramp to the backstage area.
Tasha spends her days off hanging out with Jon, Renee and Nick, otherwise known as Dolph Ziggler, he and Tasha had been hanging out quite a bit in the last week. The four of them going out sightseeing, the two women going out shopping while the guys went to the gym. It was relaxing to not worry about what was going to happen on Smackdown, nor think about Colby.
As they were walking into the arena in Little Rock, Arkansas, on Thursday for Smackdown, Tasha saw Colby down the hallway, she couldn't help but smile as she saw the small bruises that littered his torso from her punches and kicks on Monday. Those dark little marks gave her a sense of peace and contentment for the time being.
Kicking off the show was Siren and Dean coming down to the ring for his match against Miz. After what had happened on Main Event, Miz wanted retribution against Ambrose.
Siren kicked back leaning against the barricade chatting with the fans behind her, watching as Dean embarrassed Miz throughout the match. Miz constantly trying to escape the ring, to avoid Ambrose's wrath, and the punches to his money-maker face. Every time Miz rallied, Dean was right there to knock him back down.
As nonchalant as she looked Siren was watching the match carefully, keeping her eyes on Mizdow in case he decided to get involved. And when he did Siren was quick to run over and take the man's feet out from under him, knocking him down to the floor.
As Miz went for the figure-four, Dean countered it, bouncing off the ropes and clotheslining Miz to the canvas. But his attention was taken off of the match, as was Siren's as they both saw Seth Rollins and Kane walk out onto the top of the ramp. Miz tried to take advantage of the distraction going fro his "Skull Crushing Finale", but Dean was quick to counter into "Dirty Deeds". Staring at Seth as he delivered it and covered Miz for the pinfall.
Siren moved around the ring as Kane and Rollins continued their walk down the ramp. Climbing up on either side of the ring, the two men stalking Ambrose. The two men climbing in and immediately attacking Dean, who fought back the best that he could against the two on one attack. Again he hit Seth with a clothesline, nearly taking his head off, sending him flipping 360 degrees.
A grin split Siren's face as she saw Seth's briefcase lying on the mat unprotected. Forming a plan in her mind she casually walked around the ring and picked up the case. Whistling at Dean to catch his attention, she held up the case, Dean grinning as he rolled out of the ring. The two hopped over the barricade, running up the stairs into the crowd, the case in Siren's hand. Seth stood on the second rope glowering as he held his aching throat, screaming at Siren to give him the case back.
Smiling bright she held the case up over her head, loving the look of anger and hatred Seth was throwing her way. Finally he felt like she did a week ago.
Dean and Siren laughed as they went backstage, both of them ducking into Siren's locker room before Seth could find them. The two of them were done for the night, so they quickly changed and then headed out to the rig to wait for their companions to finish their night.
Once Smackdown was over Renee and Nick joined the two in the rig, the group chatting and laughing as they drove to Chicago for RAW, Seth's briefcase sitting like a trophy on the table.
When they arrived in Chicago Tasha got an unexpected phone call from Jared, his band happened to be playing a concert there on Saturday.
"So, will you please come?" Jared asked.
Tasha laughed as he drew out the "e" in please, like a little kid wanting to get their way. "I'd love to. Do you mind if I bring a few friends?"
"Not at all, the more the merrier. How many passes do you need?"
"Five including me. Please."
"Done. I'll see you on Saturday pretty girl. Shayla will meet you at will call at 6, we go on at 8."
"Sounds good. I'll see you then, J. Bye."
"Can't wait, pretty girl. Bye."
So on Saturday Tasha dolled herself up, her outfit consisting of black leather pants, red high-top Converse sneakers that Jared bought her and a red 30 Seconds To Mars racerback tank top. She brushed out her hair and let it hang down her back, putting on some mascara to highlight her blue eyes and pulling on a black and red 30 Seconds To Mars hat backwards.
Gathering up her friends they headed out to the car and Daryl drove them to the arena. Tasha had tried to convince Daryl to join them, but he declined, concerts weren't really his thing.
When they got out of the car the group followed Tasha up to the will call area where a pretty blonde woman greeted them. "Tasha, so good to see you again."
Tasha smiled hugging the woman, "Hey, Shayla. Good to see you too. These are my friends Joe, Jon, Renee and Nick. Guys this is Shayla, she's the one that keeps this crazy band in line."
They all chuckled as they shook hands in greeting, Shayla then passed them their passes and lead them into the arena. "The guys just finished sound check so they should be in the green room relaxing."
Sure enough when Shayla opened the door Tasha found the three guys sprawled out on the couches inside. Jared jumped up immediately as he caught sight of his friend, "There's my pretty girl," rushing over and gathering Tasha up in his arms. She laughed as he swung her around, a squeal leaving her mouth as both Shannon and Tomo ran over and joined in on the hug, squeezing her body between them.
"Alright, guys, I missed you too. Can't breath." Tasha said laughing as the guys released her from their hold.
"We've missed you blue eyes." Shannon said kissing the side of her head.
"I've missed you guys too. Let me introduce you to my friends. This is Joe, Jon, Renee and Nick. Guys, this is the best band and friends in the world, Jared, Shannon and Tomo."
After the introductions were made the group sat around chatting, the band confessed how they watched every RAW, Smackdown and pay-per-view, and Renee was embarrassed as Jon announced that she had seen all of Jared's movies.
By the time 8 rolled around the two groups were hanging out like they had been friends for years. Jared took Tasha's hand, leading the way up to the side of the stage where they would watch the show from. Tasha danced and sang along to the songs as the band played, her friends joining her, they were all having an amazing time.
When the concert hit halfway Jared took the stage alone holding his acoustic guitar. "So, before we sing the next couple of songs, I want you guys to meet someone. Hey, Siren, come here." He held out his hand towards the side of the stage.
Tasha shook her head smiling as she walked out onto the stage, those in the crowd that recognized her started cheering. She took Jared's outstretched hand allowing him to pull her into his side.
"So, for those of you who don't know who this beauty beside me is, allow me to introduce you to my best friend, Siren. She is a manager for World Wrestling Entertainment. She's also has starring roles on Sons of Anarchy, Teen Wolf and The Walking Dead."
Tasha smiled and waved to the crowd as they cheered for her. Jared pointed to the stage beside him, indicating for Tasha to take a seat, which she did.
"Siren's been having a rough time over the last couple of months, so, these next two songs are dedicated to her."
Tasha smiled as Jared started to play "Hurricane" the video of which she had participated in. She held up her phone and videotaped that as well as his next song, her favorite, which was called "The Kill."
After the songs she waved goodbye to the crowd as she went back over to the side of the stage with her friends. They stood around enjoying the rest of the songs, taking pictures of one another.
At the end of the concert they all stood on the stage with the band and the crowd in the background, as Shayla took pictures of them all. Then she took one of just Tasha with the band and one of Tasha and Jared by themselves.
By they time they bid goodbye to the band and headed back to the hotel, Tasha was feeling better than she had in over a month. It was amazing what good friends could do for your mood.
Colby was laying in bed in his hotel room scrolling through his Instagram feed when he saw that Tasha had posted pictures. He couldn't help but feel like he was an outsider looking in, as he looked through the photos of her with their friends. He had to smile as he saw her blue eyes and bright smile as she stood with Jared and the band.
He watched the videos she posted of the two songs Jared dedicated to her, he felt as though the lyrics were being sung straight to him. He liked all of the photos and videos, he wanted to comment, but he knew that would only bring heat to her from The Authority. He fell into a restless sleep that night wondering if he had lost the thing that meant more to him than anything, for good.
