The rest of the week was full of Live Events, so that meant that I was with Seth almost twenty-four seven. At the end of each night, I can't wait until I get the hell away from him. Mostly because, he always has something to yell at me for.

I want to quit this storyline with him and when I tried to on the second day, Steph said that we're getting a lot of positive heat from the WWE Universe and it wouldn't be good to stop it now. I have promised her that I would be good as long as he does, too. So far, he hasn't lived up to his end, though.

I was currently backstage at a live show in Ohio and I very obviously didn't know my way around. Anyone could see that. And as I turned the corner that I believed the women's locker room was located on, I bumped right into somebody's hard ass chest.

"Ow!" I winced, rubbing my nose that was most damaged out of the impact.

"Well, well, well," a familiar deep voice said in front of me while I tried to regain my sight. I knew that voice. Of flipping course I did. I forcefully and slowly opened my eyes back up and seen Seth standing there with his arms crossed and a smug smirk on his bearded face. "You lost or something?"

Fuck, I thought to myself when I rolled my eyes for him to actually see. "I'm not lost, asshole," I lied, sarcastically. "And why would you care, anyways, if I'm lost? Would you lead the way back to safety?"

"Heh," he chuckled, fake as day. "You're funny, Ellie. That seems to be new about you today."

"Shut up, Seth," I growled, biting down on my bottom lip. "Don't you have better things to do than bother me right now?"

I must have been amusing to him because he cracked a smile – an actual warm smile – and took a step towards me, in which I had to take a step back to avoid him being in my personal space. He seen that I obviously wanted no part of him, so he gave up.

"I have to say, Ellie, you're starting to grow on me some," he admitted, which didn't feel like the truth to me deep down. "You're a real bitch sometimes. Well, all the time around me, but you're okay."

I didn't know if I believed him or not, so I just nodded and uttered out, "Thanks?"

That's when he busted out laughing so loud, it nearly killed my ears. "Just kidding, Ellie," he joked, placing a hand over his belly from laughing. "No, you're truly and utterly cold-hearted. On top of all that, El, you don't deserve to be here and especially in this storyline with me. You were given this."

Why did I, for a split fucking second, believe a word he said? Well, I'm obviously stupid, first of all. And, second of all, he's as stupid as I am.

"Damn you, Seth Rollins!" I exclaimed, showing him backwards. It didn't do any damage, but it was probably enough for me to get my point across. "You're nothing more than a pretty face that runs this dysfunctional place! You walk around here like you're all high and mighty, wanting every single person to kiss your ass for you. When one person doesn't fall under your spell, you have to punish them for even wanting to be alive! I hate to break it to you, but you're not the only one whose dream it is to be a wrestler in the WWE!"

Seth seemed almost frozen in time and taken back from what I had just said to him. Maybe I did hurt his feelings more than I wanted to, but I had to get my point across to him.

"Oh, you're somehow different?!" he finally said something, roughly. His face was turning red, so yeah, I would say that he was pissed. "You know you're the same exact way! You probably grew up with a fucking silver spoon in your spoiled mouth! I want all the guys to want you and the girls to be you. You're a straight-up bitch with no mercy at all and a cold heart. Go fuck yourself, Ellie!"

Oh and he thinks that hurts my feelings any? No, I've heard much worse. I didn't have anything to prove to him, so I turned my back on him and started to storm away. However, this wasn't finished. "Oh, and since you like to take so many pictures of yourself so much, then you can go fuck your selfie!"

As the words fell out, I had no time to see his reaction as I practically flew away as fast as my legs would carry me. The door to the women's locker room was in sight and I had no time at all to distant myself from him, but the door did a good job of that.

I flew inside and slammed the door shut, receiving multiple looks from all the women in there. None of them bother me, except for the special one I was getting from Lillie. So, without hesitation, I ran up to her and took her wrist in my hand, dragging her to the one-stalled bathroom.

"El, what the hell is going on with you?" she asked, physically scared. "You ran in here like a murderer was after you."

"Okay, Lil, I gotta tell you something," I breathed out, shaking. So, then, detail by detail, I told her what just occurred between Seth and myself. I didn't leave anything out. Not a damn thing.

By the end of my confession, she was a mixture between scared and wanting to laugh in my face for my last comment to him. So, I popped down on the cover of the toilet seat and covered my face with my hands.

"Oh, Ellie, I'm sorry that happened," she sighed, brushing a hand through her hair. "Maybe... Maybe..."

"Maybe, what?!"

Banging on the door interrupted us and we heard this: "Ellie, someone's at the door for you!"

"Who?!" I called out, thinking the absolute worst.

"Seth Rollins," the voice, belonging to Sasha Banks, replied to me. Seth Rollins?! "Yeah, and he said that it's urgent, too." Wait, did I seriously say that aloud?

"Tell him I'm dead!" I said to her, hiding my face in my knees.

"No, you tell him that we'll be there in a minute, Sasha," Lillie told her instead, which I growled to. "Now, Ellie, you two are going to work this out once and for all. You can't be lovers on-screen and haters off it."

"What's there to work out? He's a prick and I hate him," I scoffed, rambling on, "with a burning passion..."

"Good, tell him that, then," she suddenly said and tanked me up by the shirt, dragging me out of the bathroom and to the actual locker room part of the place.

Before I knew it, we were outside of the room with a fuming Seth Rollins in the hallway. Lillie got between us and said, "Look, you two, you're going to work out any frustration right here and now! Do you understand me, dammit?!"

"Loud and clear, beautiful," we all obviously heard and spun around to see Enzo heading our way. He swooped in and placed his arm around Lillie's back. "So, what's going on?"

"Hiiiii," she said out, blushing. Really, Lillie? I snapped a few times in her face to bring her back to reality. "Oh, yeah! Seth and Ellie are about to work out their problems. Once and for all!"

Enzo had a look of concern, but didn't say a word. Instead, Seth did and he said: "No way! I don't like her!"

"And I don't like him," I claimed, standing next to him with our arms crossed in defeat.

"You two need an intervention," Lillie suggested and Enzo nodded, backing her up. "Spend some time together and I bet y'all will be best friends in no time! But just know, Seth, she's my best friend, dammit."

Jesus Christ... "Can we just stop this? Please?"

They all turned to me, seeing that I'm all frustrated and about to pull all of my hair out. "Stop what, El?" Lillie asked, innocently.

"Stop... THIS! It's pathetic and pitiful because I, Eleanor Nicole Knight, will never, ever, ever like Colby Lopez, A.K.A. Seth Rollins, in all the time that I live," I stated, feeling defeated everywhere I go. I seek guidance within Lillie, but she's let me down by always taking Seth's side on everything. I turned on my heel and stormed away. "Now, good day!"

"Ellie, wait—"

"I said good day, dammit!"
