"We just slept together twice.. That's what he said Ren." I whispered as the phone was laid down on the passenger seat.

"Are you driving?" She asked as her voice filled the car.

"Yeah" was all I could get out.

"Pull over, so we can speak"

I sighed as I heard her hang up and turned over to the side of the road.

My phone rang again and I picked it up as I saw her face come into view on the screen.

"The weekend was fine I mean we slept together but Dean is the problem, I just want this feud to be over so I can just tell him. I want him Ren..."

I glanced ahead at cars driving past me.

"I know you do Nicole.. I told you I would tell Dean to.." I saw how bad she felt even though it definitely wasn't her fault.

"Its too late now I'm only seeing him Sunday anyway. I don't know why I said yes to this storyline its so stupid." I leaned my head back as I held my phone.

She stared for a bit and I knew she was thinking.

"Its not actually , I mean now you'll be on screen with him, I'm sure it will be fun.. Do you know in which direction it will be heading?"

I sighed.

"No, Hunter just said I had to go out there and improvise but they basically wanted me pinning The Beast against The Lunatic the two most unlikely to ever save a woman to show the power of Nikki Bella"

I rolled my eyes as at this point I could care less about my power as divas champion.

"Well Dean likes the idea because now his plan is working but that's only because he doesn't know how you feel.. He told me that you said Brock hasn't bothered you at all" she raised her eyebrow and I groaned.

"I wasn't going to tell him I spent the weekend with Brock... I don't even know how he'll react , Brie was annoyed by the idea and she was just suspecting it"

"Sorry but Fuck Brie, she can't even understand that you need to be without John right now. So she should have nothing to say about you and Brock"

"But there is no me and Brock? I just told you what he said.. The way he looked at me, he doesn't care Ren. Thinking the beast would care about the porcelain barbie is stupid. He sees me as everyone else sees me ..."

"Fuck everyone else too! You are the one who told me he doesn't judge you for being yourself so why would he now? He just needs to know you are not taken then everything will be A for away and Bella and Beast can finally start progressing"

I simply laughed as I loved how much faith Renee had in our non-existent relationship.

"Which will hopefully be Sunday"

"How are you exactly planning on telling him anyway?"

She set the phone down and I saw her unpacking her suitcase as we were all off for the week until Fast Lane.

"What do you mean?" I asked and I heard a door in the background and she looked ahead.

"Never mind we'll talk again...our boyfriend is home" she rolled her eyes and I smiled.

" are you in town?" She sat down on the bed and stared at me.

"No I'm in Arizona.. My mom called me over and despite it all ,I was having a moment of weakness so I agreed to come down. I just I saw Brie post a picture of them all hanging out on Sunday and I missed it all a bit I guess"

I shrugged as seeing it just made me feel down , hence me having gone to sleep early that day.

Leaving Brock which was for the best, he didn't need to hear those lonely stories as well as I had unloaded enough with John .

"Pssssht we can post our own pictures! Well you and Renee can post. I'm anti-social"

I heard Dean's voice and rolled my eyes as his face was extremely close in the frame and he smiled brightly.

He then moved back and I saw him busy in the background.

"I hope everything goes well sis.. You know your mom most likely supports you but they mess up her head with all their views"

"He has a point Nikki...Well give her my love and I'll see you Sunday . Let us know how it goes okay?"

"Will do..Bye guys.."

I pulled up in front of my mom's and sighed as I took in the house I hadn't seen in months when usually I'd make sure I'd pop in whenever I got the chance.

I breath in deeply before turning off the engine and got out.

"moooooom"

I saw Josie running towards me and I pet her and I knew what it meant.

"I should've known.." I sighed as I saw Brie and JJ walking into the hallway.

"Nice try but I'm leaving.." I set Josie down and turned to walk back out ...

"Nicole wait... " I heard my mom and turned around.

"Please its been ages.. I'm making your favourite" she pleaded and I hated seeing that look in her eyes .

"Its not my fault that it has been but fine.." I walked past them and followed my mom into the kitchen.

"How does it feel to know you're making history in a couple months?" My mom asked as she chopped some veggies and I rummaged the cupboard for some snack as I had been in such a daze I hadn't eaten anything.

"Hopefully and it feels good, that's the only thing that's making me happy right now"

I sighed.

What about Brock?

Not anymore...

" I wonder whose fault that is" JJ remarked and I ignored him but my mom heard.

"JJ please not now.." She warned and I saw him rolling his eyes in the corner of mine.

"Fine!"

"Where's J?" I asked as I noticed my mom's boyfriend aka John Laurinitis wasn't home.

He was a genuinely nice guy and made my mom happy so I approved and well my dad was not close by so he had been there for me a couple of times.

It helped that he wasn't as easily influenced by my siblings as my mother.

"He headed out for a bit.. " She said and I simply nodded as I chewed on a piece of fruit as I gave up on looking for something else.

"Uhm there's a reason he is not here right now..." I turned as they sat at the small dinner table.

"So Nicole there's something that we need to tell you.." I heard Brie as I left the kitchen and by the way she made as little eye contact as possible with me I knew it wasn't good.

"And you might not be happy with it but you have to hear us out...because we love you and we did it for you" all this pre- talk made me even more nervous.

"What did you do? " I raised my eyebrow as I sat down joining her and JJ as my mom continued in the kitchen.

"We asked John to meet us for breakfast on Monday and he kinda just met with me , mom and JJ to let him know where we all stood."

She spoke slowly and cautiously,"What do you mean where you all stood?"

No wonder he had texted me on Monday again after a couple of weeks of nothing.

"Well we had a sister who always wanted two things in life and she gave it up because of how much she loved a man... We just feel like we might've pushed you to ending things with our constant bickering over him having to give you things.. When we know how much you love him and now you just ended it for what? To be alone again.." She raised her eyebrow and I slowly processed everything she had said.

"You invited John? My ex.. To lunch.."

I couldn't believe it, I couldn't believe them..

"Well breakfast.." I narrowed my eyes at her.

"To tell him what I wanted without me there? Please tell me you're joking" I stared at all of them as my mom finally came to sit down and I saw the guilt written on all of their faces.

"No we're not joking.. And this has maybe made John realize.."

"Why would you do that?" I snapped.

"Because Nicole its been this back and forth with you and John and well we realize that it needs to end. So.." Brie was cut off as my brother decided to speak up .

"Its like an endless saga so we figured if we spoke to him he would realize what you want if we just gave him a push in the right dire.."

This time I cut him off.

"Which you guys have told me is not good for me and now when I decide I had enough of being with someone that couldn't provide me with the most important things I wanted in life you want me back with him again?"

"Its not as bad as it sounds , we think he'll.." My mom spoke and I sighed.

"Really ,not as bad as it sounds mom? Because now my ex probably thinks I want him back when frankly I don't.."

I shook my head and I heard Brie again.
"Nicole you need to stop being in denial you love him and.."

I frowned as I hated that they were telling me that I didn't know how I felt.

"No I don't love him but you guys wouldn't know that because all you have done all these months is try to get me back with him. I left him because I didn't want him anymore not because you pushed me to it. Don't go giving yourselves that much credit" I stood up and walked out of the kitchen.

"Nicole calm down jeez we're just trying to help you before we have to hear you nagging about how much you miss him again.." JJ scoffed.

"JJ!" My mom glared at him.

"When have I ever ..."

"Nicole its always the same case" Brie sighed as she folded her arms and leaned against the wall.

"No! you are the ones who always bring it up and remind me how much my life sucks compared to yours and how you have the perfect thing going but I don't care I am fucking fine with being alone!"

I hated that I was shouting but it was like the more I told them things the more they were telling me how wrong I was when they didn't know shit and I was sick of it.

"You guys honestly had no right whatsoever to do that and whether it wasn't bad or not ,mom you had no right to tell him how I feel when none of you know how I feel!"

I shook my head and turned opening the door and I left the house.

"Nicole come back inside please.."

I heard my mom begging but this time I didn't fall for the look in her eyes as I had come for a simple afternoon with my mother to just forget about the last couple of day but instead I got ambushed by the people who call themselves family meddling in my business.

"No I am leaving and mom ..next time you make me feel guilty for not speaking to you in months remember what you did today by ambushing me with your perfect kids" I hopped into my car and slammed it shut as I drove off not bothering looking back.

I didn't make it far as I stopped along the road as I couldn't drive anymore...

I leaned back and wiped the tears before they could fall.

That was the final straw.

All the months I hadn't showed any emotion and it felt like everyone was just trying to weaken me even more.

They were breaking down Fearless Nikki piece by piece and I felt powerless.

I picked my phoned up and went through my contacts.

I dialed and waited as it rang, I wasn't sure if he'd pick up but somehow I was tempted to take a flight there as he had somehow in his own way just made me feel better before..

But then I remembered his words.

"I guess you'll probably come pouting at my door again making me feel sorry for you"

I was just about to stop when I heard the ringing stop and decided what the hell he would see the number anyway and although he didn't have my number he could call back and it would just be even more embarrassing..

"Brock.." I breath out as I tried to let my voice not sound shaky.

"Er.. His occupied at the moment may I ask who is calling?" I heard a woman's voice and I tensed as I wasn't expecting it.

I knew he didn't have my number..

I had just taken his well I wasn't sure why..

"Uhm no sorry its fine.." I spoke as I didn't know what else to say.

"Who is this?" She asked.

"No one.. Uhm sorry for disturbing.. bye" I immediately hung up and slowly pulled onto the road again.
