Travis flew home, walked into the house and it was quiet. He turned all the lights just to look around knowing that it's been empty all week.

Travis: God I hate this.

He then called Becky who was already home.

Becky: Hey Trav.

Travis: Hey can you come over? I'm in a terrible situation.

Becky: Uh yeah sure, I'll walk over in five.

Travis: Thanks.

He hung up and popped a beer open and sat outside as it was nice out, he looked at his clock and saw it was 1am.

About five minutes later he saw Becky walking up his driveway with someone familiar next to her, she let him go as King sprinted into Travis's arms as he hasn't seen him in two weeks.

Travis: I miss you bud.

She walked up and sat next to him, he looked at her worried.

Becky: Ok what's up?

Travis: So after the show, Hunter walked in.

Becky: Oh? What did he want?

Travis: I was told if I dont do this love story then I wont beat AJ for the title.

Becky: What's the love story?

Travis: Well it's with Ashley and Dakota.

Becky: Are you serious?

Travis: There using the fighting to there advantage.

Becky: What the hell.

Travis: I dont want to do it, but I'd like to get my push.

She doesn't know what to say so they sat there for a good minute.

Travis: How did Ashley take that kiss?

Becky: You were there.

Travis: I don't really remember anything that happend until I got on the plane

Becky: Well she's really upset, she's back home sleeping.

Travis: After this and the new storyline that's being forced on us makes me feel that we'll never get together again.

Becky: Dont talk like that.

Travis: No I think she'll leave.

Becky: Well invite her over tomorrow since were off of tour.

Travis: I guess, hey; thanks for coming over and bringing my boy.

Becky: No worries, I'm always here.

She hugged him and took King back home while Travis turned all the lights off and headed to bed.

Back at Becky's*

She walked in the front door and saw Charlotte sitting on the couch with the pup.

Charlotte: Where did you go?

Becky: I took King on a midnight run around the gated community.

Charlotte: Oh ok, well I think I'm going to bed.

Becky: Ok, hey! Are you ok?

Charlotte: Not really.

Becky: Do you want to talk?

Charlotte: Ok sure.

Becky grabbed a bottle of wine and they both went outside to the back and sat down.

Charlotte: I dont know what to do.

Becky: What's on your mind about this whole situation?

Charlotte: I hate it, I still feel like I cant trust him.

Becky: What about what happend earlier tonight?

Charlotte: Oh I'm pissed that he agreed to that.

She looked and saw Becky looking at her like she was wrong.

Charlotte: What?

Becky: Ok, I took King on a run to Travis's house.

Charlotte: Why?

Becky: Because he needs someone to talk to, he misses you.

Charlotte: Well he should've thought about that before what him and Dakota did.

Becky: That's the thing, he didn't know that was happening.

Charlotte: How do you know?

Becky: He told me he cant remember anything.

Charlotte: ...

Becky: I probably shouldn't tell you this..

Charlotte: What?

Becky: Nevermind, I'll let him tell you.

Charlotte: And how is he going to do that?

Becky: When you visit him tomorrow.

She didnt look to impressed on how she's telling her to talk to him, even though everytime it happens, it ends in a fight.

After an hour, the bottle of wine was gone and both girls went to bed.

The next day*

Travis woke up and got ready as he had a busy schedule all afternoon down at the Performance Center, he was happy that he was going down there so it could clear his head.

He usually takes King down to the PC but he doesn't have him now, so he went alone.

An hour later*

Travis got done with his workout with Seth Rollins and both taught in the promo class with William Regal.

An hour later*

He got ready to go to his signing downtown Orlando for the children's hospital. Travis, Braun and Bayley were going to each room of the section to give away alot of memorabilia and sign stuff for them.

Travis arrived to meet everyone there as they walked through the place, he was heartbroken at all the struggles that each child was going through.

He met this one little girl who was a big fan of his and Charlotte's, he sat and watched her draw pictures of them together.

Girl: Here you go.

Travis: Wow, that's really good.

Girl: I love to draw wrestlers.

Travis: Maybe you could design my gear?

Girl: Really?!

She jumped up and hugged him as he smiled, he learned that she was going through needing a heart transplant and has been in the hospital for almost a year.

He was broke after he heard that news, so he contacted clothing and production in Stanford to ask one simple favor.

Before they had to leave*

Travis had some news for the girl, he came back and signed a few things for her.

He knew he had to go but had one more thing to tell her.

Travis: So, how would you like to design a set of gear for me to wrestle in?

Girl: Are you serious?

Travis: Yeah, make a design you like and I'll have it made.

The little girl was happy and jumping for joy again. He hugged her and took a picture for her parents to remember this forever and he left.

Later that night*

Travis was feeling good after that trip and decided to call Charlotte, he thought since he was in a good mood then he could think straight and maybe work things out for her to come home.

Charlotte: Oh.. hi

Travis: Hey.. would you come over real quick? I think we need to talk.

Charlotte: Sure.. I'll be there in an hour.

He hung up and got a little nervous that she was coming over, so he cooked up her favorite meal, Prime Rib.

Everything was lined up and ready for them to enjoy it.

The doorbell rang and he opened it to let her in, it felt a little awkward eating with each other as they didnt say much besides him telling her about the little girl he met at the hospital and how she's going to design him a gear set.

20 minutes later*

Both were sitting on the couch and he looked at her as he got a little depressed, he hasn't seen her in the house for over a month.

Travis: Ok, we need to talk about this.

Charlotte: What is there to talk about?

Travis: Well that you're not home, where you should be.

Charlotte: I'm fine at Becky's, I like living with people I trust.

He knew at that point, it wasn't going to be a good conversation.

Travis: Wow, ok. Let me start off by saying that everything that had happend the past couple months, I take all responsibility.

Charlotte: Even what happend Tuesday?

Travis: That I didnt know was happening.

Charlotte: Oh that's bs.

Travis: Ash, I was knocked unconscious after AJ hit me.

Charlotte: ...

Travis: Now I brought you here to also talk about what Hunter wants me to do.

She just looked at him not saying anything, he was hoping she was listening because this is important.

Travis: When I came to last night in the locker room, after you left; Hunter walked in.

Charlotte: Yeah?

Travis: He informed me that I'm in a new love story.

Charlotte: Of course you are, who else are you sleeping with?

Travis: Ok chill, it's with you.

She didnt say anything and he knew she was listening now.

Travis: And apparently Dakota.

Charlotte: Well I'm not doing that.

Travis: I told him I wasn't going to either, then he told me if I dont then my push is over.

Charlotte: Well that doesn't concern me so.

Travis: Wow ok.

He stood up and paced around on how he was going to ask this important question.

Travis: So are you ever coming home?

Charlotte: I am home.

Travis: You're at Becky's.

Charlotte: Yeah that's my home. I have someone I trust and my dogs.

That was a shot to the heart at him as that killed him inside.

Travis: So what are we?

Charlotte: What do you mean?

Travis: Are we still together or?

Charlotte: I dont know, I dont date cheaters.

Travis: So when it was You, Me and Becky in a bed that one night, I cheated on you then too.

Charlotte: That never happend.

Travis: I swear it did, you and Becky cornered me and you can think of the rest.

She still didn't believe him, that made her more upset.

Charlotte: I'm telling you, you're just making excuses to avoid the leaks.

Travis: Ok this isn't going anywhere.

Charlotte: It doesn't with you.

He scratched his head as he didnt want to ask but he needed to know.

Travis: So do you want to take a break?

Charlotte: A break?

Travis: Well it seems like we already are.

Charlotte: Is that what you want?

Travis: Is that what you want?

Charlotte: ... yeah.

Travis: What?

Charlotte: Yeah, I want a break.

He felt his heart fall, he felt sick and weak. She watched him sit down and put his head into his hands.

Travis: Ok, I understand.

She didnt say anything as he didnt know she was about to cry.

Charlotte: I'll be over tomorrow to get some of my things.

Travis: You dont have to move out.

Charlotte: I do.

Travis: Oh.. ok then.

She grabbed a few things for tour up in what used to be there bedroom and walked back downstairs to see him just sitting there.

As she got to the door, he stopped her and turned her around.

Travis: Ashley, I'm sorry. I love you.

He hugged her and she walked back to Becky's in tears.

Travis locked up the house and went to the basement bar, he popped all of his bottles of hard liquor and just drank until he forgot.

Back at Becky's*

Becky watched Charlotte walk in with makeup all over her face, she got up and helped clean her face.

Becky: What happend?

Charlotte: We.. uh.. we are taking a break.

Becky: Char, why?

Charlotte: I dont know, what do I do?

Becky: Well maybe this little break will do you two good then.

Charlotte: I dont trust him, but I still love him.

Becky: And I know he loves you back.

Charlotte: He told me, I may have made the biggest mistake of my life.

She started to cry again and she fell asleep on the couch from it.

Becky texted Travis to see how he was doing but he didnt ever respond, she didnt know he was drinking his pain away.

She then went to sleep.

Back home*

Travis was drunk as hell, just walking around the house getting more and more depressed at the photos he had all over the walls of him and Charlotte.

He grabbed one and sat on the couch just looking at it.

Travis: I need you Ashley, I love you so much.

He really missed his boy, King. Travis went through his phone just scrolling through the photos of him and Charlotte at the beach, dates and backstage at pay per views.

It was killing him on the inside and he made a tweet that caught alot of attention from news wires and other superstars.

@tsharpwwe

"I made the worst mistake of my life and now I can't live without you. I need you. I love you."

He then fell asleep on the couch a couple minutes later.
