10/1/15, Florida Hospital E.R…
"They should've been back by now, what's taking so long?" Sami asked when he realised that the girls weren't back yet… there had been a mistimed shot that ended with Carmella getting dropkicked in the face and crashing against the barricade and it also ended with Colin punching Enzo in the face and Amanda and Finn helping a bleeding Carmella up to her feet.
But before Finn or Colin could respond to Sami's question, they heard what confirmed more than one person was injured.
"Where is he?!" All three heard Amanda yell as she ran past them, Finn stopping her and Colin seeing wheel marks on Amanda's back after pulling up the jacket that Amanda was wearing over her ring gear… they didn't have enough time to grab their clothes and Finn had put his jacket on Amanda.
"You better go find Enzo before she murders him." Finn says, Colin leaving and Amanda readjusting the leather jacket. "He goes and knocks Carmella out by accident, then runs you over…" He says as she leaned against him, her head resting on his right shoulder.
"I'm not the only one chasing him down, he also ran over Bayley!" Amanda says, both hearing Bayley yelling "Enzo, I'm gonna rip you limb from limb! Stop hiding!" as Finn helped Amanda sit down.
"He is gonna get himself killed." Finn says, checking Amanda's arms and finding them bruised too as he guided her to a trauma room.
Enzo kept wheeling down the hallway, trying to hide from the now furious Bayley… he had rarely, if ever, seen her get angry.
But Enzo was snatched out of the chair by Bayley and pinned against the wall before Bayley started choking him with her hairband.
"Not so funny now, is it, you crazy bastard?!" Bayley growled, Enzo startled at how evil she sounded.
"Bayley… I swear… it was an accident! I didn't… mean to hurt you, Mandy or Carmella!" Enzo chokes out.
"Oh you want to see accident?! How about I choke you until your eyeballs pop out of your head?!" Bayley yells, pulling tighter on the headband until she was restrained by Colin and Enzo gasped for air.
"Thanks… for that." Enzo says.
"I wasn't doing it to save your ass, Enzo! You owe the girls an apology!" Colin says.
Enzo nodded, apologizing to Bayley before he and Colin found Carmella and Enzo apologized to her.
"No concussion, no bad head injury, no worries." Carmella says.
Enzo left and found Amanda… but she gave Enzo a look that meant "Fuck off or I'll rip your throat out!"
"Damn, Tiny, it was just a joke." Enzo says.
Amanda responded by grabbing the metal tray and smacked it against Enzo's ribcage, Finn getting her to drop the tray as he pulled her close to him.
"Now you know how she feels, you cracked six of her ribs!" Finn growled at Enzo, who's eyes widened in shock.
"Aw, fuck, I swear I didn't know!" Enzo says defensively.
Amanda nodded as her right arm wrapped itself around her ribcage, Finn pulling her into his lap after sitting down and Amanda resting her head on his right shoulder.
She was gonna be sore as hell for a while… and he didn't want to leave her side.
Present time…
"Did he ever try to apologize again?" Talora asks.
"No… I got my revenge when I put red hair dye in his conditioner bottle." Amanda says.
"And that's why I usually keep my things away from her." Enzo says.
"Probably for the best…" Amanda says, struggling to stay awake.
"Alright, back to the hotel with you…" Finn says, one arm around Amanda's shoulders before the two left.
Amanda didn't want to leave… after all, Seth had just had surgery to fix up his knee.
But at the hotel, she had scrubbed her makeup off and changed into a pair of leggings and one of Finn's Balor Club shirts before curling up in the king sized bed, Finn lying down next to her after changing into pajamas himself.
The lack of proper sleep was really catching up to them and Amanda was out like a light, Finn pulling the covers closer to her before placing a kiss on her forehead.
It wasn't long before he was asleep too, his arms around her.
Some time had passed as it was nearly one in the afternoon before Amanda had opened her sleepy eyes and turned over to her left side.
She turned the small radio on low… and it played a familiar song.
There must be some misunderstanding
There must be some kind of mistake
I waited in the rain for hours
And you were late
Now it's not like me to say the right thing
But you could've called to let me know
I checked your number twice, don't understand it
So I went home
Well I'd been waiting for this weekend
I thought that maybe we could see a show
Never dreamed I'd have this feeling
Oh but seeing you is believing
That's why I don't know why
You didn't show up that night
There must be some misunderstanding
There must be some kind of mistake
I was waiting in the rain for hours
And you were late
Since then I've been running around trying to find you
I went to the places that we always go
I rang your house but got no answer
Jumped in my car, I went round there
Still don't believe it
He was just leaving
There must be some misunderstanding
There must be some kind of mistake
There must be some misunderstanding
There must be some kind of mistake
Was what happened between her and Seth before his match a misunderstanding, could it be fixed up?
Or were the two drifting further and further apart from each other and was that why he was acting like this?
There was another question going through her mind… was Seth just simply jealous of Amanda spending time with Finn? He didn't act like this whenever she was around Enzo or Colin.
Amanda felt Finn's left arm wrap around her and felt his head resting on her right shoulder, his mouth lightly kissing it.
"I already miss you using my shoulder as a pillow, love." Finn says, Amanda turning back over and resting her head on his left shoulder.
Amanda wrapped her left arm around Finn and pressed herself close to him, Finn kissing her on the top of her head as her head moved from his shoulder to his torso.
Under her right ear, she could hear the comforting sound of his heart.
And she was making her decision.
