2 MONTHS LATER
(Brandon POV)

So... this is what it's like to be on the sidelines looking in.

Yeah... the title's gone, my in ring career's on hold and it still hurts a little to breathe... but I guess it could be worse, right?

Honestly... I can't put it to words how I feel mentally right now... like I'm grateful this thing happened, and I can't wait to return... but, I don't know if I'd be eager to...

Demi thinks it's partially ridiculous, but she also understands where I'm coming from, and has been there for me every step of the way to this point, and I couldn't be any more thankful.

That morning, I woke up to my Australian girlfriend's arms wrapped around my stomach as she laid next to me still fast asleep. We usually leave the blinds closed to keep the sun out of the room in the mornings, but this time, a few rays of sunshine poked into the otherwise dark room and reflected a tad off of her hair. It honestly made her look a little more badass... as if she needed it.

She soon woke up and her grip tightened ever so slightly as her eyes opened.

"Well good morning babe."

She said in her slurred morning voice sparking a chuckle out of me.

"Good morning beautiful... seems like someone got a little handsy overnight huh..."

"Mmmm... maybe a little..."

She replied as she began to randomly trace on my chest with her finger. At that point I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her in for a deeper cuddle. This was one of those moments that you just had to let happen. She buried her head in my chest and remained there for as long as we stayed in bed for, which was a good while, but hell I didn't mind. It's nice when she reveals this side of her. We soon reluctantly got up and started our day by taking a shower, and getting breakfast ready to be devoured.

Obviously, in my opinion, power waffles are the way to go.. I wonder why...

Anyways, Demi whipped up some eggs with a hint of pepper and Orange juice as the drink of choice. Honestly, I love her breakfasts, they're different, but delicious and possibly more healthy. As I sat down to eat and scroll through my phone, I felt a pair of hands wrapped around my chest and a head rest on my shoulder.

"Are... you alright? You've been awful touchy feely recently."

"What, there a problem... I can stop if you want..."

"No... I was just curious."

I said in reluctance as she pulled up a chair really close to mine... like within personal space close. I didn't dare do anything to differ from the moment so I just put my phone down and let it happen.

"Mhm... that's what I thought."

She said giggling a little. She used that chair to climb onto my lap and wrapped her arms around my back.

"Your staying there forever, huh?"

"Yup... good luck lifting me to get up."

She said laughing evilly. I always knew she was a little devil around the house. Of course me, not taking no for an answer, gathered my wits, and a little strength, I gently lifted her off of me and grabbed my finished plate and utensils to throw in the sink.

Not to be outdone, however, Demi ambushed me and leapt onto my back. (Keep in mind I'm 5'11" maybe borderline 6'0") This of course resulted in nothing but pure laughter and enjoyment for the both of us. She eventually drug me over to the couch and performed a variation of an elbow drop, obviously looking out for my ribs, before covering me and counting the pin.

"1... 2... 3... Winner!! Come on!!"
She shouted as she rolled off.

"Fast count?!! Really?"

I said catching my breath, well what I could at least haha.

"A wins a win bro, you know how this industry works."

"True... I wasn't working at 100% though."

"Oh... yeah i forgot... sorry."

"Nah it's cool... but you know this means we need to have a rematch, right?"

"R-rematch...?"

"Well... yeah, hell I just now got the idea of building a branch off of the gym to incorporate enough space for a full scale ring."

"No way!"

"I may or may not be in contacts with someone that could make it happen. Gotta stay ring ready at all times right?"

"Your insane... you know that, right?"

"Hey... we get big checks in the mail for a reason."

She then laid on my stomach and kissed my neck. I have a good feeling we both needed this moment after the craziness that was my injury and the whole scenario with Rebecca. This just felt right.

"Hey B...?"

"Yeah...?"

"Can you promise me... that you'll never let go..?"

"Oh Dem... I don't care what happened in the past. I won't ever think about leaving you... hell I mean you said it yourself, it's not often I get to hangout with an Aussie you know."

She only smiled and made herself comfortable on top of me as we cuddled and eventually drifted off to sleep for a little while.

The rest of the day was pretty calming, Demi didn't have to go on tour for a few days so we hung out a little more before she did, and my god did it help the healing process. Sure I'm nowhere near 100% yet, but I think I'm gonna enjoy this time off for a little.

(Demi POV)

Oh my god you guys!! I swear everyday I'm with him I fall more and more in love, it's insane! God it's gonna suck not having him on tour with me, but I know he's at home recovering, I heard Rebecca's there  watching over him, I just hope they're alright.
