ROMAN POV:

''Hey buddy come on...come on big guy stand up for me'' I could hear Deans voice, and I stirred my eyes open.

''Wha...what happened?'' I asked looking up at him confused.

''Are you...YOU?'' he asked back, looking at me with concern.

''I...I think so, why wouldn't I be?'' I said, rubbing the side of my head which hurt like hell right now. I looked down horrified at the blood on my hand, and quickly touched my head again, feeling now that I had a pretty big cut and bruise on the side of my face.

''You mean you don't remember?'' Dean said.

''I remember yelling some choice words at Seth, but after that, I'm not quite sure'' I mumbled.

''It's probably best you don't know then bro'' Dean winked ''but if it's any constellation, you won buddy...now stand up! I gotta raise your hand'' he smiled, helping me to my feet. I won? But I was supposed to win...what the hell had happened? I looked round and raised my arm in victory with Dean, while smiling for the crowd who was chanting my name loudly. Dean placed my heavyweight title belt back over my shoulder, and began clapping happily for me too, with a big grin on his face. That's when I saw Faith standing by ringside, alongside a bunch of referees and EMT's who were stood with her. I was terribly confused and worried as to what the hell had gone one tonight, but the second my eyes connected with hers, I knew everything was alright...well, to a degree that is, as I could see she was clutching at her back for some reason, while looking at me with a very curiously look on her face, as if trying to figure something out. She then looked away without smiling, and that's when my own smile faded too... seriously, what happened??

FAITH POV:

I was the first one through the gorilla, exciting the ring area up the ramp this time. I had refused all medical help when personnel came filing round me at ringside, as I just wanted to be alone right now, and get out of view of the cameras. I rushed through the gorilla and quickly ducked behind the curtain when I saw Paige bounding in my direction. She hadn't seen me, and that was a good thing, because I was nowhere near prepared to start answering questions as to what had happened out there tonight, as right now it was safe to say only myself, Roman and Seth knew about Romans condition...and I wanted to stay that way.

I still couldn't believe it though that Roman/Joe had god damn speared me out there! Like what the fuck?! My entire body was now hurting like hell, and even though I wouldn't have changed what I did for the world, I couldn't deny the fact that my feelings hurt more than my body did right now. I know Roman wasn't in control of his own mind at the time, but the fact remained that it was still him had scared me tonight...he actually really scared me!

Needless to say I wanted nothing more than to run into the cool night air and have a cigarette, but there were too many people about now, and so I held back a little while longer. I rubbed at my shoulders and back, then gently leaned my head against the cool wall behind the curtain, just as a flood of tears swam down my face...I'm so happy you retained your title Roman, and I'm also so happy to have seen Paige and Dean tonight, but now where do we all go from here? I thought in dismay.

Just then, I heard a whole bunch of commotion on the other side of the curtain...

''Make way please! Come on man get back, here buddy sit down...you ok? You alright? Hey can we get some help over here please!'' I heard Dean yell.

I very carefully peeked through the gap in the curtain, and I could see Roman being attended to by a bunch of medical staff...oh god poor Roman! I thought, staring wide eyed at him through the curtain. It looked like he had a pretty large gash above his right eye, which was bleeding profusely down the side of his face. He also looked like he was back to his normal self again, and I sighed in contentment...it was all worth it Faith, all of it I smiled happily to myself.

''Faith...Faith...'' I could Roman saying, as he worriedly called out my name ''is...is she ok...where is she?'' he was asking Dean.

''Faith?''

I suddenly jumped when I heard someone behind me call my name as well...it was Seth.

''How did you know I was here!'' I demanded.

''Because I know you Faith'' he said, stepping closer ''...probably better than you know yourself''

I started to leave, but he grabbed my arm and gently pulled me back ''not a good idea right now babe...Hunter's looking for you and he does not look happy'' he warned me.

I yanked my arm back and stood there uncomfortably, before turning to him and saying ''what do you care!'' I snapped ''oh and while we're on the subject Seth, just what the hell did you think you were doing out there tonight! Huh?'' I hissed at him.

''Me! What about you babe?'' he chuckled ''I mean if you wanted a triple-threat match, all you had to ask'' he grinned, stepping even close to me. I immediately pushed him back, but he just grinned, looking down lustfully at my hands on his body.

''Ugh!'' I snorted in frustration, while wiping his sweat from my hands on my hoodie.

''That's real cute Seth, but I believe it was your stupid ass Curb Stomp that caused Roman to black out on the first place, and switch to Joe mid-match! I saw it all on the monitor in my locker room, so yeah had to do something!'' I hissed again up at him ''because if I didn't, his secret would have been exposed, and you would have gotten your ass royally kicked, and all of this would have been for nothing!'' I said, raising my voice and angrily at him and pointing my finger in his face, causing me to wince from how much pain my back still was, and Seth immediately saw...

''Are you ok though?'' he asked worriedly ''I mean that looked pretty bad out there'' he said, reaching out to hold me.

''Don't touch me!!'' I snapped, batting his hand away.

''Hey!! Keep it down will you!'' he hissed back ''Hunter's right there!''

I folded my arms in frustration again, just waiting for everything to die down so I could the hell away from Seth ''...and on top of being speared by my own boyfriend, I had my Divas Champion title stolen from me tonight by Charlotte bloody Flair! Can you even understand how I feel? Or is all about you!'' I whispered angrily!

''Of course I understand'' he said softly ''it wasn't just you that had a few surprises thrown at them tonight Faith. If I'd of known Dean Ambrose of all people was gonna guest referee this match tonight, hell I never would have signed that damn contract'' he moaned.

''Yeah, well you deserved it!'' I retorted back ''oh god'' I sighed, running my hands through my hair in irritation ''tonight has been nothing but one huge...'' and I tried to wrack my brain for the correct words to say ''... McMahon screwjob'' I moaned.

''McMahon screwjob'' Seth said at the same time, and we instantly looked at each other in bewilderment, and for a brief second we shared what I think was a smile, before I jolted myself back to reality and snapped at him again ''you tried to pin Roman for the win!'' I whispered angrily.

''Yeah well, when life hands you lemons babe, you gotta make lemonade'' he joked.

''You're a pig!'' I hissed again.

''And you're beautiful, so sue me.'' he smiled.

I ignored his comment and peeked through the gap in the curtain again...

''Hey Dean, can I talk to you a sec?'' I heard hunter saying.

''Sure man'' Dean looked a bit reluctant to leave Roman, but he came when Hunter called, with Paige close behind...

''Hey man, I can't stay long, I got a lot of business that needs taking care of here tonight, and I know you and Paige have got a flight to catch soon too, so uh, I just want to say you really outdid yourself tonight Dean, I made the right decision in making you guest referee for that match. I can't thank you enough for coming, both of you'' he smiled, looking between Dean and Paige.

Dean smiled back ''Thanks Hunter, and hey your welcome. I think I had more fun tonight than I've in a very long time'' Dean chuckled ''and you were right about not trusting him-first opportunity he got and he went for the pin, just like you said. But hey, I'm just glad I was there to control the situation'' Dean smiled.

''That's what I paid you for...'' Hunter smiled ''and here's a little extra for doing such a good job'' he said, taking out his chequebook.

''Nah man, you keep it'' Dean smiled, ''I've already been rewarded just by seeing the look on that jokers face'' Dean smirked ''and trust me when I say it was sweet victory after all these years of living in the shadow of his lies'' he said.

''You're a good man Dean. And hey, my offer still stands-anytime you wanna come back home to us...the doors always open for you, both of you. You have my word'' Hunter finished.

''Thanks man, I won't forget it'' and I watched with sad eyes as Dean took Paige's hand to leave.

''Just one thing...'' Paige said, turning back and looking at Hunter ''I know it's not my place but um, go easy on Faith ok, she's a good person, and I know that she wouldn't have done what she did tonight if it wasn't for a reason.''

''You're right Paige...'' Hunter said ''it's not your place. But uh, I'll keep that in mind'' and with that they both he turned and walked away.

My heart was breaking so much right now, that I without thinking I just ran so I could go say goodbye to Paige before she left, but Seth dragged me back again.

''Get off of me!'' I yelled.

''Trust me babe, it's even harder to say goodbye'' he said softly.

It killed me to admit it, but Seth was right.

I began crying into my hands now, as my emotions had become all too much.

I suddenly felt Seth standing very close to me ''Faith...I know it's not what you want to hear right now, but in this quiet, very rare opportunity I have to talk to you, I want to tell you once more just how sorry I am for everything I did to you, and well, if you could just let me show you that I've chang...-''

''Do you think I care about that now! Huh Seth? My best friend, who no longer speaks to me because of what happened, is walking out of that door right now and you want me to forgive you so that you feel better about yourself? Pft! You're a joke!'' I laughed in his face.

''That may be the case Faith, but I'm also dead serious when I say I've changed. Just let me show you...'' he whispered as he took a step closer, and for a brief moment everything around us was still, and I was once again felt like I was at the bottom of the abyss, staring into a sea of darkness...

I quickly snapped back into reality when I heard Dean and Paige saying their goodbyes, and I pushed Seth away from me in a desperate attempt to go see my friends ''don't ever come near me again!'' I hissed at hum, before running out from behind the curtain, ready to take whatever consequence that came my way.

''Baby!'' Roman called the second he saw me.

''Roman!'' I cried, and limped my way over to see him, but was side stepped by Hunter who came and stood directly in front of me...Uh-oh!

''Faith, there you are, oh good, Roman your here too'' I looked at Roman, who looked just as nervous as I did ''Don't worry, I'm just here to tell you both to come see me in my office tomorrow...I think we need to talk'' he smiled, then walked off very calmly....I was already preparing for the worst.

I hurried over to Roman now ''Baby you ok?'' I asked, looking at the deep gash above his eye.

''I am now'' he smiled ''but you're not'' he observed with a very concerned look in his face ''...what happened to your back baby?'' he asked, standing up to examine me, while wobbling ever so slightly, enough to force him to sit back down again.

''Don't worry about that, you need to go to medical'' I told him.

''No.'' he said firmly ''I just need you'' he said, and tried to hug me again, but I stepped back slightly. I know it wasn't his fault, but all I could see was Joe's evil eyes as he speared me into that announce table.

''Okay, will someone please tell me what the hell happened out there tonight?!'' he asked, looking at me, and looking behind at Seth who had now emerged from behind the curtain.

''You turned into Joe and speared Faith through the announce table'' Seth said.

''Seth!'' I said turning towards him with irritation ''I'm quite capable of talking for myself thank you!'' I snapped, and turned back to Roman again.

''Wh...what?!'' he gasped in shock horror ''is that true?'' he said, his eyes filling with water ''please tell me it isn't true, please tell I didn't hurt you like that baby'' he said, his eyes desperately pleading with mine.

I just looked down and nodded ''it's true'' I told him.

''Your back...I did that?'' he asked nervously.

''You sure did! And if you wanna see it again, you can watch the re-play on the WWE Netw...-''

''Hey you shut the hell up!!'' Roman yelled at Seth, quickly jumping to his feet to confront him, but then stumbled forward in his haste, to which Seth and I quickly caught him and sat him back down again.

''Jokes aside babe, he doesn't look good'' Seth said seriously.

''Yes genius I see that!'' I snapped at him ''look will you give us a second please!!'' I yelled at Seth, and he went and stood by the wall, and I turned my attention back to Roman ''Look baby, I'm gonna need you to go to medical alright, you took a pretty big bump out there from that doofus's curbstomp. But don't worry, I managed to get you to take your pills, figuring you may need it after such a big impact'' I told him in a low tone ''that's actually why I was at ringside in the first place, I saw all what was happening on the monitors out back. But Roman, I'm still worried about your condition, so please baby, please promise me you'll go to the ER just for a check-up at least'' I begged.

''Ok baby, we'll go together then'' Roman said reaching out to hold my hand, but I pulled away from him again ''I'm sorry Roman, but with everything that happened today, I just need some time to myself right now'' I said, holding my hand to my back and lowing my eyes from him.

''I hurt you badly didn't I?'' he asked, looking extremely upset and ashamed with himself, as he tried once again to comfort me.

''No baby, Joe hurt me. Look, I just need some time ok, so go please, go get yourself sorted down at ER, and I'm gonna go back to the hotel and take a long hot bath, then I will see you when you get back ok'' I smiled.

''Ok'' he said sadly ''and I'm so sorry baby...for everything, I really am'' he sobbed.

''I know Roman, and I don't hate you, god knows I could never do that'' I said softly ''it's just all been a bit much for me today that's all, and I just need some time alone to gather my thoughts. I promise I'll be fine after that'' I reassured him.

I knew way I was feeling right now, I would be of no help to anyone. I couldn't even help myself right now. I'd lost my championship, I'd been screwed over, my hair was a god damn mess, my best friend suddenly showed unexpected, and with curious that questions I wasn't not ready answer, Seth was being an annoying little shit! I had just ruined one of the biggest Pay Per Views in WWE history, given the matchup! And on top of all that, I was probably going to lose my job tomorrow, all because I had blackmailed my own boss, who now can't stand the sight of me!! I hated myself so much right now right now, and rather than fall back into old habits of taking my aggression out on everyone and everything around me, I decided that being alone this time, which honestly was the best option for everybody.

''Ok. But, I'm gonna make this up to you baby'' Roman was saying ''I promise you with all my heart I will'' he smiled, gently running his hand down the side of my cheek.

I kissed his lips softly and told him to wait there, while I called for the EMT's to come and take him away for a check-up. I know he felt so bad for what he did, but I couldn't help him with that right now, not in the state I was in.

The EMT crew came quick, and gently carried Roman into the back of the vehicle. I blew him a kiss goodbye then turned to leave the arena.

SETH POV:

''Hey Faith, wait a sec! Wait!'' I said, running after her out back at the arena.

''What?!'' she snapped, spinning round to face me with an angry tone in her voice.

''What about you? I mean, shouldn't you be going with him? Because of your bac...''

''Oh my god what are you my fucking mother!'' she yelled up at me, and I stared at her wide eyed, completely taken aback by her viscous profanity.

''I...I was just concerned about you babe, that's all'' I said, putting my hands up in surrender.

''Don't call me babe! Can't you get it through your thick skull Seth... you raped me! You fucking RAPED me! And I will ALWAYS fucking hate you for it!! Just because we're working together again, does not give you the right to ever speak to me! You got what you wanted out of me, now just leave me the hell alone!!'' she cried.

My god, I don't think I've seen her this angry before, well that's a lie, but she looked to be really hurting tonight...

''I never got what I wanted from you bab-Faith'' I said softly ''...because what I want is for you to be happy.''

She began clapping her hands like a mad woman now ''Bravo! And the sympathy award goes to: drum roll first please...''

''Ok fine! Jeez! I just wanted to know your ok was all!'' I yelled back.

''Oh I will be. As soon as I get away from you, and away from this whole god damned arena!'' she cried, throwing her hands in the air with frustration ''heck I'm probably gonna get fired tomorrow anyways, so I don't give a fuck right now! I'm gonna go buy me a nice full pack of cigarettes, a truck load of fucking alcohol, and a picture of Charlotte ''I'm so perfect'' Flair, then I'm gonna go back to my hotel room and drown my sorrows, while getting lung cancer and burning cigarette holes into Charlottes fucking face! Wooooooo!!'' she yelled, laughing and throwing her hands in the air with more crazy in her eyes. I just stared after her in complete bewilderment.

''But babe, you don't even drink'' I pointed out to her ''why would you do that to yourself?'' I asked.

''Because Seth, whatever I can do to make you, and this horrible day go away...I'm gonna do!!'' and with that, she stormed off, got in her car, and sped out the arena leaving nothing but a cloud of smoke behind her.
