This Means War
One day since the blind date*
After Tommy dropped off Bayley last night, he drove back home to see Alex up walking around the house.
When Tommy walked inside, he saw his friend awake at the kitchen counter with water.
Alex: Hey, how'd it go?
Tommy: You know, I've been doing alot of thinking on my way back home. And I don't really know.
Alex: Was it bad?
Tommy: No, but something felt off. Like a spark she didn't have.
Alex: Is it the spark that, let's say a certain ex girlfriend would have?
Tommy: I don't know. Maybe. This was my first date I've been on since the break up.
Alex: Alright, listen. Do some thinking tonight before you go to bed and tell me a different story in the morning.
Tommy: Sighs* I'll try.
Alex washed the glass, then walked down the hallway to the spare bedroom; leaving Tommy in the kitchen alone with his thoughts.
Everything was mixing around his mind as the house fell quiet. His head was filling up with mixed feelings with Bayley, and he has no idea what to do now but keep it to himself.
After locking up the house and turning on the outside lights, he walked upstairs to his bedroom. Closed the door and changed; It didn't take him long to lay down and fall asleep, womdering.
The next day*
Tommy woke up a little late as he heard noise downstairs which means that his temporary roommates are up and awake.
It didn't take him long to get enough energy to wake up completely and get out of bed.
He walked away from his bed and grabbed his clothes from his dressers. Then took the time to jump in the shower to continue his thoughts on his current situation with his new relationship with Bayley.
10 minutes later*
Downstairs*
There was music coming from outside and brewed coffee smell filled the whole house.
Tommy was now awake, but grabbed a cup anyways and walked to the sliding glass door.
There he saw Anthony, Alex and Donte sitting outside. They were listening to music and starting their last off day before RAW tomorrow.
Door opens and closes*
The guys looked back and saw Tommy walking out all dressed with a cup of joe in his hand.
Alex: Morning.
Anthony: Did we wake ya?
Tommy: No, well maybe a little.
Anthony: Sorry about that.
Tommy: You're good. I wasn't getting much sleep anyways.
He sat next to them as they all looked at him with worried faces.
Tommy: What?
Donte: Alex here told us what's going on.
Tommy: Oh.
Alex: I had to tell them.
Tommy: Its all good. But yeah, still don't know how I feel.
Donte then shifted a little to look at him face to face.
Donte: Did I rush you into doing this?
Tommy: What? Going on the double date? Nah.
Donte: Are you sure? It sounds like things could be moving quick and making you have alot on your plate.
Tommy: D, trust me. I'm good. Last night was fun, but I just don't know.
Alex: Was Pamela the issue?
Tommy: No, she was perfect. She seems like a perfect match for me.
Anthony: So you had a good time with her?
Tommy: Yeah.
All three were baffled on what it could be, they had no idea what was wrong.
Anthony: Then what was it?
Donte: C'mon man, you two looked really good together.
Tommy: I- I don't think I'm over Ariel.
They weren't shocked as he was really stuck on her, and since they recently met didn't help the situation.
Donte: Bro, you gotta move on. She has.
Tommy: No, she hasn't.
Donte: Wait, how do you know?
Tommy: She came over a while ago, one thing lead to another and I was walking her out the next morning.
Donte: Oh, I see.
Alex: Listen, are you trying to get over her?
Tommy: I'd like to, and then I can try and focus on getting to know Pam better.
Alex: I have an idea, and this should help. Let's have a little get together with some of the girls and other superstars here, then that'll take your mind off of things.
He looked up and smiled as he agreed with that idea.
They all then also agreed, got up and started to plan a bit.
Later that night*
All of the guys were hanging out at his house, music playing in the backyard as Tommy overheard the door bell.
Tommy: Hey, can someone get the door.
They all looked at him as he was grilling everything.
So Anthony shot up, walked inside and opened the door to see Carmella and Bayley walk in.
Anthony: Hey, come on in.
Carmella: Anthony!! Its so good to see you!
They both hugged him as he walked them to the back as this would be everyone for tonight.
Alex was sitting on his phone as Lexi was next to him watching him, until Carmella and Bayley walked to the back and smiled at everyone.
Donte got up and greeted his new girlfriend and they sat together as Bayley joined them.
She looked up and saw Tommy standing at the grill working his magic.
Bayley: Hey, theres Tom.
Carmella: Go over there.
Bayley: I'll wait until he's done, I don't want to bother him.
They all started to enjoy themselves as Tommy walked over to the table and put the meat down.
Tommy: Alright, its ready.
Everyone then stood up and surrounded his new, big wooden table as they sat together.
The music was turned down a little as all were making their plates and enjoying the time together.
Tommy then popped another bottle of alcohol open.
Alex: Jeeze man, you're downing those.
Tommy: Its only my third.
Donte: Yeah, third of the hour.
Tommy: Hey, I gotta enjoy my time.
The boys got a little worried as they were hoping this wouldn't continue.
But the subject needed to get changed to lighten the mood.
Bayley: So Leah, how was yours and Dontes date?
Carmella: Amazing. I never knew this guy could be such a sweet guy.
Anthony: Going soft on us pal?
Donte: Ey, watch it you.
They all laughed as they continued to go through everyone's relationships.
Tommy: Hey Anthony. What's up between you and Rebecca?
Carmella: Wait. You and our Becks?
Anthony: Nothing is official. So far it's just a storyline.
Tommy: Alright, says the one that's up half the night on his phone face timing a redhead.
He smiled and they all wanted to question him but he wouldn't say another word about it.
Anthony: And what about you Alex, you seem to have kept your relationship with Lexi there pretty quiet.
Alex: I'm a quiet guy.
Alexa: Well, I'm not a quiet girl. I've maybe told most of my friends.
Carmella: We knew the day you asked her out.
Bayley: Sorry Alex.
He looked at his five foot girlfriend as she smiled at him.
They all continued to eat and tell stories around the fire.
Then at one part of the night, Tommy dissapeared and Bayley wondered where he went.
She thought they were having a great conversation, and then hes been gone for almost an hour.
Bayley: Hey, where did Tommy go?
Anthony: I think he's inside.
That then got the others attention as she stood up.
Bayley: I'm going to check on him.
They then watched her walk away and up to the sliding glass door.
Alexa: I see love heart eyes.
Carmella: She really likes Tom, and last night she was over the moon when he dropped her off from their date.
Alexa: Wait they went on a date?
Donte: Oh boy, I should clear something up real quick.
As they all listened to him say what Tommy said to him about the situation, Bayley had come back out and overheard the conversation.
Donte: He told me she's a very nice girl, but he can't get over his ex girlfriend.
Carmella: That's rough.
Bayley: Yeah.. that is.
They all quickly turned around as she was standing there with a disappointed look.
Carmella: Pam..
Bayley: Of course, when I start to like a guy then something always happens.
She waved her arms around and started to walk back where Carmella and Lexi got up and quickly caught up to her as they walked back inside while the guys stayed behind.
Inside, they found Tommy sitting at the kitchen counter with a couple bottles next to him.
He was drunk.
Tommy: Oh- H-hey ladies.
Bayley: ...
She moved by him and went for the front door and put her shoes on.
Carmella went after her as Lexi stayed with Tommy to make sure he doesn't fall or anything.
Outside*
The front door closed as Bayley started to walk away when Carmella caught her.
Carmella: Pam, c'mon now. What Donte said doesn't mean anything.
Bayley: Yes it does, Tommy doesn't like me. Nothing will ever change his mind Leah, and I have to move on.
Carmella: You can't take someones word. He's not in the best shape to talk to him now so let him be the one to tell you.
Bayley: I can't do this again. If he wants to tell me then he wouldn't have invited me over. I'm walking home.
She turned around and started to walk out of his driveway and down the street.
Carmella: Pam!
Bayley: ...
She ignored her and continued, pretty upset.
Back with Tommy*
He put his head down as Lexi was just standing there watching him as she got a message on her phone.
It was from Alex and he walked in a couple seconds later.
Alex: Oh jeeze. Tommy.
Tommy: Lifts his head* I'm- hiccups* I'm not d-oing so well.
Alex: Alright, let's get you up.
He helped his brother out and slowly walked him up the stairs to his room.
That's when Carmella walked back in and Lexi caught up with her.
Alexa: Hey, wheres Pam?
Carmella: After hearing that in the backyard, then seeing her crush like that; She had enough and walked home.
Alexa: She left?
She nodded and that started to worry everyone when they found out.
The next night*
In Houston, Texas.
Tonight, RAW was still in Texas as they were getting ready to start putting people in matches for the next pay per view, Elimination Chamber.
Everyone was at the venue as multiple superstars were put into a chamber match.
It would be Alex Auditore, AKX, Karl Anderson, Luke Gallows, Buddy Murphy, Ali and the Intercontinental Championship Kevin Owens putting his title on the line.
That would be opening the show in a week and both members of Firing Squad were excited as it was their first title shot.
Then, throughout the show they would be introducing more superstars to be thrown into the next championship match, but no one knew who it would be.
But so far it's only Seth Rollins, Finn Bálor and Samoa Joe in the main event chamber match.
Last segment of the night*
Tommy, Donte, Alex and Anthony were waiting backstage as Sasha was in the middle of the ring getting destroyed by Charlotte while Bullet Club watches from outside the ring.
Firing Squad theme hits*
All four men ran out and started to attack the other end of the faction as a massive brawl has broken out.
Sasha and Charlotte ended up rolling out and still attacking each other as AJ and Anthony got into the ring. Then Finn threw Tommy in as mayhem continued.
Everyone was fighting everyone with everything they could find and use.
Then the brawl halted after Finn launched Tommy into the turnbuckle and when he grabbed his face, his hands were bright red.
His nose had been split open from a cut next to the bridge.
Then, Hunter walked out and everyone stopped after his announcement.
Hunter: Everyone Stop!
The fists and kicks were finished as Tommy just stood in the corner holding his gushing nose.
Hunter: Since we have three more spots in the final chamber match, and you all seem to want to kill each other. I'll go ahead and throw Tommy Majors, AJ Styles and the WWE Universal Champion Anthony Jenkins. And you will be defending your title!
He pointed straight at Anthony and dropped the microphone.
Everyone then split into their groups and backed away from each other as the show ended.
Backstage, 30 minutes later*
Tommy had his bags packed and needed to do something before leaving the venue.
The guys were already gone as Alex hitched a ride with Lexi and Nikki Cross.
Donte went with a couple referees to the hotel.
And Anthony, well we don't know where he went. During the day he was texting Becky and he took off as soon as the show was over, so they all assumed he was out with her.
Back with Tommy*
He was rolling his bags down the hallway as he saw Sasha standing in front of the women's locker room.
Sasha: Tom? What are you still doing here?
Tommy: I need to do something, is Pamela still here?
Sasha: Yeah, I'm her ride.
Tommy: Can you give us a minute? I really need to talk to her.
Sasha: Uhm, yeah.
She then grabbed her bags and went around the corner to wait.
Tommy then took a deep breath and knocked on the door, which it opened instantly.
Bayley: Oh, hey.
Tommy: Can we talk?
Bayley: Uhm, yeah sure.
She waved him in as she was the last one in there, so he walked in and sat down with her really quickly.
Tommy: Pamela, I just want to apologize on what happend last night..I didn't mean to get that drunk-
She interrupted him
Bayley: Tom. It's fine.
Tommy: Ok, cool. So are we still on for next weekend?
She then showed him a confused face and that also showed concern.
Bayley: Tommy, I know what's going on. I know your situation with you're ex girlfriend, and I don't want to hold you back.
Tommy: Wait, what? How did you find out?
Bayley: I overheard it. Listen, you're a great guy and I really like you, alot. But I don't want to hold you back from you being happy, and it seems like you'll be happier with Ariel
Tommy: Wait Pam; no- that's not what I mean-
Bayley: I had a good time Saturday night, but all dreams don't come true.
Tommy: No Pam, let me speak; this is all a huge misunderstanding now.
Bayley: Goodbye Tom.
She kissed his cheek, looked at him in his eyes and sighed. Then he turned around and watched her walk her bags out and dissapear after the door closed.
To be continued..
