The next Monday from the last chapter*

Bayley and Tommy were on top of the world after going on their fourth date. Even though she's not counting, Bayley feels like they are getting closer each and everyday they spend together.

After the concert, she knows that he's more comfortable around her. They did see a couple bands that he's not big in their genre, but he did enjoy it especially since it put a smile on his girls face.

The whole night was a success to both of them since they met new faces, saw an incredible show and slow danced.

But the spark was broken as they were forced to go back to work that following Monday.

With Money in the Bank long gone, everyone is scrambling to start building matches for the next pay per view; Extreme Rules.

Tommy was on the phone, calling and emailing everyone backstage that worked in writing or producing and was feeding them idea's. At first they didn't know to feel about it, but he was trying to push them to go with it since this could build a fantastic story against two groups.

Multiple meetings were set up for when they walk into the building.

On the drive to RAW*

Everyone was driving into San Antonio, Tommy picked up his girlfriend Bayley eailer that morning.

She had the idea of them having a little roadtrip down there together.

It was a five hour drive and they listened to different music and he introduced her to some of his heavy metal bands. She was hesitant but listened since she got him to change a little, and then it wasn't long before Bayley was adding songs to her playlists.

Selfies were taken and were on hold since they still haven't gone public on their relationship. Fans were on the search for clues on both of their Instagram pages.

A couple photos of her's were of someone holding Flex, and then they would switch to Tommy's to match up the sweatshirt he was wearing while holding her dog.

Things were adding up with them, now everyone was just waiting for them to announce it themselves.

Later on that night*

There wasn't much going on after everyone showed up to the arena. Tommy put his bags away and was stuck inside the conference room with all the writers.

Bayley hadn't seen her boyfriend in over an hour so she went to find the others in the group.

Catering*

Bayley walked in and saw only Alex and Lexi sitting at a table, on their phones. She walked over and sat with them as they started up a conversation about their plans instantly.

Lexi: So Pam, are we still on for this weekend?

Bayley: Should be.

Alex: Are you and Tommy busy?

Bayley: I'm not..

Lexi: And Tommy?

Bayley: I- haven't asked.

Lexi: Pam. We had this whole thing planned. The boys needed to reconnect.

Bayley: I know. I guess we've just had so much fun together it went over my head.

Alex: Do you want me to ask him?

Bayley: I'll do it. As soon as he's out of the meeting then I'll pull him aside.

They continued to talk as rehearsals were moving along. Her segment was thrown out as Tommy's plan was upped by her, she was planning something to make his idea's look like his vision.

While people were being pulled from the back to rehearse, Bayley got a text from her special one.

Tommy❤: Alright, I'm finally free.

She was happy that she could finally talk to him, but another text came in that pushed her away from him.

Stylist: We're ready Pam.

This is the first time she would have to blow her plans off with him.

Bayley: I'll be busy until tonight. I'll see you then 😘

She the pocketed her phone and walked to hair and makeup where something was happening in secret.

4 hours later*

With Tommy*

Him and Donte were sitting at the table since something was building up for him and another partner in the group.

Tommy: Alright, I pitched your idea's for a character change.

Donte: Anything?

Tommy: They didn't say much, but they were asking more and more questions about it.

Donte: So that's a good sign.

Tommy: I'd say so. I think it'll fit perfectly with the storyline coming up.

Donte: Extreme Rules can't come fast enough.

The show was going on as Donte ans Alex were in the dark match against another tag team.

Tommy wasn't on the show until the last segment. Then there was his girlfriend Bayley, who he hasn't seen all day.

Multiple texts and one facetime call have all been ignored. He tried hard not to worry but ever since they started to date, this is the first time this is happening.

RAW was more important to worry about since Tommy needed to get ready. He said goodbye to his bro and walked back to the mens locker room to lock up his attire and get ready to run.

Out in the ring 30 minutes later*

Anthony was battling a hard fought match against Ricochet as they were chopping the living hell out of each other.

The loud cracks of the slaps would make the crowd cringe as a reaction since both men could feel it.

Becky was sitting ringside as her match was the one before where she beat Alexa Bliss.

She was also reacting on commentary as Ricochet knocked down the universal champion. The whole WWE crowd watched as he climbed to the top rope and went for a 450 but quickly countered as Anthony rolled away.

He quickly jumped up and hit his famous finisher "Lights Out" before his opponent could turn around.

Ricochet dropped and the champ covered for his one, two, three count.

The universe jumped out of their seats as he had won his match, and Becky also got up and grabbed his title for him.

She passed it over to him before watching him raise it, then..

The factions theme kicked on which ment someone was coming out. With the month being a tough one with a certain leader, they both knew who it was.

The cameras quickly spotted Tommy sprinting out from the back.

Cole: Money in the Bank briefcase holder Tommy Majors is cashing in!?

Everyone watched as Tommy slid in and saw the shock on his friends face as he quickly hunted him down and hit him with the briefcase.

The ref tried to stop him from assaulting the champion, Tommy then stood in front of a downed Anthony Jenkins and handed over his prized position.

He kept hitting the case over and over as the referee then took it and walked to the announcers who went back to the microphone and waited for the two to get ready.

The call was then sent.

Announcer: Ladies and Gentlemen, Tommy Majors is cashing in his Money in the Bank contract!

People cheered, people booed. He's starting to get a mix reaction from the WWE universe, but his character was building to not care.

Tommy stood in his corner and watched the referee guide Anthony up and to his corner. Becky was in her boyfriend corner worried that he's venerable.

He slowly got up in his corner*

Anthony was now up on his feet and looking straight at his friend while holding his neck.

Referee: Are you ready? *Looks at Tommy* Ready? Ring the bell!

The bell rung and Tommy fired out of his corner and immediately grappled Anthony into his own version of the "Cross Rhodes" DDT.

Cole: Major Selection! He's going for the cover!

Tommy quickly fell on Anthony and went for the pin.

1.. 2..

Then, out of no where came the cracking sound of a chair hitting someone.

Camera's caught Tommy lunge off of Anthony and roll around in pain as the match was called for interference.

When Anthony rolled over and looked up, there stood Becky holding both of their titles in one arm while the other had a chair in it.

He was shocked to see that she stopped the match to continue his universal championship title reign.

She jumped out and put the chair down while still staring at him. Suddenly she was blindsided by someone running in from the crowd.

A hooded figure stood over her, beating her senseless until Becky was down for good. More camera's ran over and caught Bayley undoing her hoodie and letting down the hood to reveal a new look.

She stood there with new makeup and short hair. That definitely sent suprise throughout the arena as she continued to stand over her before walking over to Tommy who rolled out and was now helping him to the back, covering her ears as fans showed their displeasure of her heel turn.

No one knew what was happening as the faction they all know and love were going against each other without explanation.

In the back after interviews*

Tommy grabbed a bottle of water and walked to go change where there stood his newly styled girlfriend in front of the men's locker room door.

Bayley: Hey you.

He was still in shock to see her new look since she looked almost like a completely different person. She then stood up and was now in front of him as she was just all smiles while watching his eyes.

Bayley: So. What do you think!?

She shook her head as her new hair and waited for his response.

Tommy: I like the hair.

Bayley: Really!?

Tommy: Of course. It was just a surprise to come to the arena with you, then I see you and you're different.

Bayley: I figured you'd have something to say about it.

Tommy: Babe, no matter what you do to change yourself a little, I'll always like you.

Bayley: Awe.

She then gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and was going to wait for him to get ready.

Bayley: You're so cheesy, babe.*winks*

Tommy: Laughs* Alright. Let me get changed and we'll head out.

Bayley: Perfect!

She then sat back on the crates as he quickly got inside the locker room and got cleaned up.

10 minutes later*

He was showered and changed as he walked out with his bag to see her still waiting.

Tommy: I'm surprised you're still here..

Bayley: Well, you are my ride.

Tommy: Fair enough. Well, shall we?

He held his hand out and she grabbed it as this is becoming a thing between the two.

Tommy and Bayley walked down the halls of the arena as the dark matches were just ending. When they got to the parking lot, he packed their bags in the back seat and joined her in the front where they took off back on the road towards home.

The next day*

After a five hour drive back to Dallas, Tommy pulled up into Carmella and Bayley's house around four in the morning.

He lost Bayley around the third hour as she fell asleep on him. He didn't need anyone to stay awake to keep him awake on the road since he's been doing this since he was in his late teens.

But when Tommy pulled up into the driveway, he jumped out and grabbed her bags before seeing her get up and out of the truck.

She grabbed the bags from him and was ready for bed. Bayley fetched her keys in her bag and went to say her goodbyes.

Bayley: I'll see you later?

Tommy: Sure, come on over whenever.

Bayley: Be on the lookout for somewhere after three *laughs*.

Tommy: Understandable.

He smiled back as she leaned in and they shared a goodnight kiss. She then unlocked and watched him off down the road and went inside to go to bed.

Tommy wasn't far behind as he locked up and quickly crashed as soon as his head hit the pillow.

Late morning, 10:50am*

No alarm was set today since they got home really late. Tommy wanted to sleep in and catch up on it since his schedule has been messed up from the constant traveling.

Luckily Bayley was also sleeping in from the long drive last night.

Both slept through the morning until one of their phones went off around noon.

Bzzz.. Bzzz.. Bzzz-

Tommy grabbed his phone to see a facetime call coming in from Pamela❤.

Of course he couldn't see that and not answer it.

Answer's*

Tommy: Hey..

Bayley: Well, I see someone just woke up.

Tommy: I crashed as soon as I walked in.

Bayley: I was about the same. Flex of course had to go outside as I was ready so I prayed he rushed himself.

She then flipped the camera and lifted up the covers to show the little white pup laying ontop of her.

Bayley: This dude, I swear. He jumped on me around six and wouldn't stop running around the bed for ten minutes. I finally kicked him out and fell back asleep until Leah let him back in an hour ago, and now here we are.

Tommy: I miss that little guy.

Bayley: He misses you too! How about we go for a run? It'll wake you up, plus you two can see each other again.

As she said that, Bayley watched him get up out of bed and search for clothes.

Bayley: I'll take that as a yes?

Tommy: Absolutely.

She smiled into the camera and both hung up to get ready.

Later on that night*

Bayley and Tommy have been spending the whole afternoon together as they were hanging out in his backyard, enjoying the nice weather.

Now it's past seven and the sun is now starting to set.

Their night was a little ruined as Tommy planned to grill out but he didn't go shopping since they slept in all morning. So now he scrambling to find something else.

Inside the kitchen*

Bayley sat at the counter as she watched Flex follow Tommy around, he was on the hunt for something until he found a pamphlet.

He grabbed it and put it down in front of her.

Tommy: Alright, what do you think?

Bayley: Chinese takeout? I'm down.

Tommy: Cool. Let me call.

He walked into the other room as she was feeding him her order from the other side of the room. Then she tried to make him laugh on the phone while talking to the person taking their order.

When he hung up, Tommy and Bayley sat at the counter and were getting drinks made while waiting for the delivery driver.

An hour later*

Bayley: Still eating* That did not happen.

Tommy: I swear it did. You can ask Alex, he's a witness.

Bayley: How do you drop your phone off a twenty story building?

Tommy: I'm telling ya, don't flip your phone on your finger.

She laughed as they were eating and just talking. That's when another subject came up.

Bayley: So. You've heard a little into my life of becoming a professional wrestler. Now, if it's alright; Why were you sent to Japan?

Tommy: Oh boy is that a long story.

He set down his fork as she kept eating and listening.

Tommy: Ok, so remember. Throughout this story happened when I was sixteen through the time I turned eighteen.

Bayley: Sure.

She had a smile on her face, he knows that may go away after some time.

Tommy: Alright I'll start when my mom moved us to Vegas. My dad is in the Navy and is stationed over in Japan so we had to move around when he would come home. Not a problem since I never had actual friends that would want to hang and stuff.

Bayley: Awe.

Tommy: It's fine, I didn't care since I got into building and boosting cars. I would get these old beaters that barely ran and would revive them from parts at auto shops I would work at.

She was still sitting next to him and slowly eating her food as this was a huge part of his life that he was explaining to her.

Tommy: I would go to school for half the day then drive to the scrap yard during my extra credit classes. Shithead Tommy Majors was the kid that didn't give a shit about school and would come and go as he pleased.

Bayley: That's surprising. Especially since you're we'll spoken like someone that was looking at college.

Tommy: I get to that. Now fast forward to my senior year. I currently have two reckless driving charges and nine points on my driver's license, I'm on the verge of losing my license forever.

Bayley: How'd you get those charges Majors?

Tommy: laughs* So, when I started to fix up the clunkers. Tommy made a little scheme to make money, and by that I mean I would hustle people out of huge bets. Someone would set up a race between someone with a ridiculously nice car while I show up in a rust bucket. Everyone would place bets on my opponent and I would easily smoke them.

Bayley: Why am I not surprised?

She giggled a little as this was all a true story.

Tommy: I made a name for myself. People knew not to bet against me whenever I would show up to car meets. After rolling up in rusty cars, they would see under the hood a monster.

Bayley: How did you come up with this? I would never think of a teenager to plan this.

Tommy: I just saw people look at this kid, still in high school thinking he could play with the big boys.

He saw her and she looked baffled on what he was saying.

Tommy: Ok, so back to where we were. This is now our third time moving because of me. I would get these charges, get expelled and forced to move to another state.

Bayley: Are you still racing?

Tommy: It picked up more when we kept moving. One day I skipped school and was working on my car, a old 1978 Dodge Charger. Paint was scratched off and had no plates, that's my first mistake.

Bayley stopped eating and listened as it was getting to the good part.

Tommy: Were outside of an old airstrip. Fifty high school kids all making bets against me. They threw down money on mommy and daddy's Nissan GTR that some kid was driving. He tried to flex what he can do with it so I made it a challenge to him. We were the last race of the day and lined up, the other kid had a huge gathering of people around him while I had my one friend standing with me.

Bayley: ...

Tommy: Next thing I know, this dude pulls out his keys and jingles them.

Bayley: What does that mean?

Tommy: We race for pink slips.

Bayley: Ohh..

Tommy: Of course I'm instantly down since that's a ninety thousand dollar car while I paid one thousand for mine before boosting it. Alright, so the guys girlfriend walks out and counts us down until we take off.

At this point in the story, Tommy is getting deep to what caused his life to change.

Tommy: We race past the finish and I try to press my brakes, nothing. They went to the floor and I was coming up to the little cliff that overhangs the end of the runway. I turn into the other guy and we both wreck. His was a dent in the door with a blown tire, I on the other hand rolled my car and totaled it in the matter of seconds.

Bayley: Jesus Tom..

Tommy: Cops came, taken to the hospital and then sent back to the police station. The guys parents were pressing charges against me for pressuring their son into racing. I'm sitting there with my mom, face all busted with no car. They took my seventy eight charger and trashed it.

Bayley: ...

Tommy: The chief of police pulled me and my mom into his office as he sat there for ten minutes yelling at me before threatening to put me in jail. That's when the idea of sending me to my dad's in Japan.

Bayley: Jeeze Tommy. You've been through some stuff.

Tommy: I think of it as a wake up call that helped me to the path of professional wrestling. If I never went to Japan then I would've never found the New Japan Pro Wrestling dojo.

They were now sitting on his couch still talking on this subject.

Bayley: You wouldn't have found wrestling?

Tommy: Nope. The day me and my friends were out and about, we came across the sign and that's where I went for a tour.

Bayley: So you going to Japan really gave you wrestling.

Tommy: That's why I say if I never was shipped over then I wouldnt have met everyone. I wouldn't have met you.

He wrapped his arm around his girl on the couch as she smiled. Then they both leaned in and connected their lips for a kiss, then he was pulling away a little but that made her lean in more.

It got a little heated for a second until the teasing stopped and she unlocked when they got closer and watched a movie.

Midway through*

The couple were watching "21 Jump Street" and holding each other. Bayley had her hand on his chest and head on his shoulder while he had his arm around her holding her up.

While a fight scene came on, she popped her head up and quickly paused the movie.

Tommy: Woah woah.

Bayley: Sorry, I just remembered something.

Tommy: During a fight scene?

Bayley: Listen. Alex and Lexi are going to Disneyworld next weekend, and she wants you and Alex to hang out.

Tommy: Sure, why not?

Bayley: Great! I'm excited!

Tommy: I can tell.

He laughed as she played the movie and they continued to watch.

After the movie ended*

Tommy was exhausted and yawned while trying to keep his eyes open. He noticed that Bayley hasn't moved in a while, so he looked over and saw she was asleep.

He didn't want to move since he was extremely comfortable, so he dragged the blanket closer to them and fell asleep.
