"I'm heading back to Detroit today, to finalize everything with the restraining order," Brooke said. "Zack wanted to come, but I told him that he should just head on to the next city, and that I'll meet him there."

The crisp Detroit air blew Brooke's hair back as she shoved her hands into her coat pockets. She had found a parking spot about a block away from Vanessa's office, choosing to walk the short distance.

When she opened the door, the receptionist's head looked away from the computer and at Brooke. She smiled.

"Brooke Freeman?" She asked. The Diva nodded. "I'll let Vanessa know you're here. You can have a seat."

As the receptionist picked up the phone and spoke to Vanessa, Brooke took a seat. She pulled out her phone and saw she had a text from Zack.

Let me know how everything goes! :)

"Miss Freeman?" Brooke looked at the receptionist. "Vanessa will see you now."

She led Brooke down the hall, to Vanessa Perry's office. The door was closed, so she knocked and opened it.

"Miss Freeman is here," The receptionist said, poking her head in. She moved out of the way, opening the door wider and letting Brooke inside.

One of the seats was taken by a man in a suit, Jace's lawyer. Brooke didn't really remember his name, and she honestly didn't want to. Although Vanessa was now looking at Brooke and no longer him, he continued speaking.

"Come in, Brooke," She said, giving her a smile. That made him stop talking. He watched as Brooke walked into the room, taking the empty seat next to him.

"So, everything's okay?"

Brooke laughed, softly, moving her phone from one ear to the other. "Everything's fine, Zack. I promise. I've been through all of this before. We have to go to court and testify, and then the judge decides whether or not to give me the restraining order."

"Well... Can I be there?" Zack asked. "I wasn't there last time, and I want to be there for moral support."

"I barely knew you last time I did this," She pointed out. "But I'd love it if you were there this time."

"I know I should be stressing out or something, but I honestly feel fine," Brooke confessed. "I've done this before, and this time, Zack is with me. But, besides having to get a restraining order, life is actually pretty good."

"We can talk about it when you get here," He said.

"Sounds good," Brooke said.

"I – " Zack started to say, but stopped. Brooke frowned, confused. He eventually said, "I'll see you later, Brooke."

"Um...yeah," She responded. "See you later, Zack."

He sounded a little weird near the end of their phone call, but Brooke decided that if Zack had a problem or needed to tell her something, he'd say it eventually.

By the time Brooke reached Columbus, Ohio, where they'd be filming a house show that night and Raw the following Monday, she didn't have time to go to the hotel, so she headed straight to the arena.

She and AJ had a match that night, and since she was running a little late, she only had time to put on her gear and talk to her for a few minutes before their match. Once she parked her car, she texted Zack, letting him know she was there.

After putting on her gear, she went to Gorilla, where AJ was waiting. She smiled when she saw the champion, and they went over a few things for their match.

And then, Justin Roberts began announcing them.

"The following is a match set for one fall, and it is for the Divas Championship!" He announced. "Making her way to the ring first, from Detroit, Michigan: she is the Divas Champion, Brooklyn!"

(A/N: I'm pretty sure the matches at house shows are for the title. xD Never been to one, but I think that's how it normally is.)

The crowd cheered as Brooke walked out, and she grinned. Once she got in the ring, AJ's music began playing.

"And the challenger, from Union City, New Jersey: AJ Lee!"

AJ skipped out to the ring.

The bell rang, and AJ lunged for Brooklyn, who quickly moved out of the way. AJ spun around, only to be met with a punch to the face.

As AJ staggered back, Brooklyn ran and clotheslined her. She fell to the ground, and Brooklyn went for an elbow drop. AJ rolled out of the way and got up, while Brooklyn laid on the ground.

AJ watched as Brooklyn got to her knees. She grabbed her by the hair, and began setting up for the Black Widow. Once it was locked in, Brooklyn tried desperately to get out of it.

Suddenly, Naomi came running out, while AJ and Brooklyn were oblivious to this. She slid into the ring, attacking AJ, who let go of Brooklyn.

"The winner of this match, as a result of a disqualification: AJ Lee!"

Brooklyn fell to the ground, as AJ and Naomi fought. AJ quickly put Naomi in the Black Widow, and Brooklyn slid out of the ring. She was given her title, and she quickly made her way up the ramp.

Naomi had begun tapping out, but AJ wasn't letting go. Once the refs got involved, she released her grip, and Naomi fell to the ground. AJ looked at Brooklyn, who was still standing on the ramp, watching.

"I want my title back!" She screamed.

Brooklyn just smiled and waved, turned around, and walked backstage.

She didn't see anyone she wanted to talk to, so she headed to Catering to get a bottle of water. The match wasn't very long, but trying to get out of the Black Widow is a lot of work.

Once she got the bottle and had taken a sip, Brooke turned around. Her eyes scanned the room, looking for Zack. She soon spotted him at a table, sitting with Dolph Ziggler and The Miz (Mike). Putting the cap back on her bottle, she walked over to them, taking a seat next to Zack.

"Hi!" She greeted, smiling.

"Hey, Brooke," Dolph said.

"Oh, hey, we actually have to go," Mike said, looking at Dolph. "Our match is coming up."

"Yeah, you're right," Dolph agreed, standing up. He looked at Zack and Brooke. "See you guys later."

As Mike and Dolph walked away, Brooke looked at Zack.

"Do they actually have a match, or did they just want to leave?" She asked, suspiciously.

"A little bit of both," Zack replied, chuckling.

"Well, I think we're super cool, so it's their loss," Brooke said, smirking. "Anyway... I haven't eaten much today. I was thinking that I could get dressed, and we could get something to eat? But, like, something that wouldn't take long to eat, because I'm also really tired."

"Your wish is my command."

"I'm sorry," She apologized, frowning. He looked at her, confused. "I must sound really bossy."

"You don't sound bossy," He assured her, standing up. She followed suit, and they began walking.

"I sound bossy sometimes, especially when I'm both hungry and tired," She explained.

"Brooke – "

"It just kind of sounds that way, because I'm just – "

"Brooke," Zack said, stopping and grabbing her arm. He turned her around to face him, and placed his hands on her shoulders. "You are not bossy. You're just hungry. And you're also tired. But not bossy. You were very polite when you asked. So quit apologizing."

"Okay..." She trailed off. She bit her lip, trying not to apologize again. "I'm...going to get changed now. I'll meet you out here."

"Now that's bossy."

She laughed and shook her head. "Shut up!"
