       CANDACE walked alongside Tyson as he spoke to her about the show later alongside the skit they had planned for BTE as well. She silently scrolled through her Twitter with a prominent frown. Tyson took notice and reached over grabbing her phone, he read the string of tweets.

He read the tweet and rolled his eyes, 'I would like to apologize to all the WWE fans and my family and friends for private photographs that were distributed without my consent. I'm truly sorry I hope you'll forgive me.' He read to himself from the architect's Twitter.

Many were tagging the blonde in front of him, some enraged over what happened, some pleading Candace to take him back and forgive him. Tyson shook his head, "Don't read this garbage." Tyson said exiting out the app.

"I know I shouldn't, but, it . . ." She took a deep breath and shook her head, "I want to ask why, why would he do this? How long has it been going on for? Just something that will give me some peace of mind, but--"

"He knew what he was doing." Tyson denied, his baby blues softened at her sad ones. "You deserve the world. You're an amazing and beautiful, and kind woman and you deserve so much better than this." He said holding her phone up, "I get it, you need closure. But -- as someone whose known you for a long time, I don't want to see you forgive him and run back into his arms when this is who he is, it's his pattern." Candace rubbed at her nose as her eyes began to burn. "I -- we just want what's best for you."

Candace nodded as he wrapped his arms around her, she gratefully accepted. He leant his bearded cheeks against the side of her head, as he gently rubbed her back.

"It just hurts." She whimpered into his chest, "I love him." Tyson swallowed a lump in his throat and nodded, "I gave him everything."

"I know, I know."

Brandi Rhodes came up behind Tyson seeing the two and embracing she smiled to herself. She cleared her throat, Candace pulled away and looked to her good friend.

"Hey." Brandi smiled, "How you feeling?" She asked walking over to the two.

"I'm okay." She nodded falsely wiping her reddened nose.

Tyson looked from Brandi to Candace, "Um, I'm gonna go talk to the guys, I'll see you guys later."

Candace and Brandi both nodded.

"What was that?" Brandi hummed with a smile Candace rose a brow at her, "He's really sweet."

"Yeah, he's a good friend." Candace nodded placing a loose strand of hair behind her ear. "He was just letting me know I deserve better and I guess cheering me up." She shrugged.

Brandi bit her lip and nodded, "Well, he isn't wrong." She said as the two began walking down one of the hallways of Ring Of Honour. "I always knew there was something off about him." She admitted, "He always had that 'I'm a douchebag' vibe."

Candace looked over at the brunette who shrugged innocently, "Just sayin'." She came to a stop halting the blonde, "Are you going to be in the boys' show?" She asked with hopeful eyes.

Candace sighed, "I don't know."

"I think it'll help distract you." She admitted, "I'm not telling you to sign or get involved in their shenanigans, but I think it'd be cool. Especially since Tyson and Cody will eventually be feuding, I think it'd be cool if we like even worked something together." Brandi said with a smile.

Candace thought to herself, "Marty's been trying to get me to join BTE, which I mean would be cool and yeah, it would get my mind off of everything that's gone downhill in my life, right now." She sighed, Brandi looked at her hopefully.

"I'm not gonna force you. But, I just want you to be happy again. The guys too, with the whole DM skit they've got going on." Brandi smiled as did Candace, "We love you, and we want what's best for you."

Candace gnawed on her lip, maybe Tyson and Brandi were right. She thought to herself, she couldn't let go of everything she loved. She already lost one, she couldn't afford to lose wrestling as well. It did give her a release from her real world when she'd be out in the ring.

People would watch because she was good at what she could do in the ring, not because of who she was dating or her personal life. They were invested in her character.

It been a little over a month and she still had Colby Lopez stuck in her mind. She needed a distraction, she needed to move on. She knew that. She also knew reading comments on social media was most definitely not going to help her mentally in a healthy way. It was taking a toll on her.

She gnawed on her lip, maybe BTE could help with that. Maybe even joining a promotion with her good friends would help as well.

"You're right." She nodded, Brandi's brows rose.

"I am? I mean of course I am." She scoffed.

Candace smiled, "I need to move on." She concurred, "Can't be sad forever." She said as her heart ached at her words; she was going to try. And that's all she could do at this point.

"Excellent!" Brandi clapped her hands in excitement.

Candace entered the room quietly and shut the door behind her seeing the boys acting out a fight sequence, she crossed her arms over her chest and observed the group. She winced as Kenny 'kneed' Masa in the face.

Masa held his jaw in faux pain, "Harmful reeb." He whined.

Candace snorted as did Nick, she sent a apologetic look to the boys as she covered her mouth.

"Oh, whoah, did you say 'rib' as in like pro--wrestling lingo, 'rib' in a joke?"

"I think he did." Matt nodded placing his hand on Masa's shoulder.

Kenny sighed crossing his arms over his chest, "You know it's funny that you can actually say that because showing another man's DM -- something that was supposed to be private something for you Nick, something meant for you Matt, and someone who shall not be named as of right now." Kenny said turning to the camera and winking, he turned back to Masa. "I just wanna know why?"

"Explain yourself." Matt ordered.

"Why did you do it? Huh?" Masa stammered, "Come on. You just wanted to get in Marty's good graces you wanted another one of the boys' to hang out with, another one of the boys' bills to pay. Another one of the boys' to go to wrestling shops with. That's all you wanted!" He pointed as Masa who raised his hands in surrender.

"Tell him." Matt nodded.

"I--I uh, english is a bit difficult." Masa said as the men groaned at his answer.

"Yeah right!"

"Yeah, yeah, okay, okay." Kenny nodded in disbelief, "Just say whatever you want, speak Japanese. Come on, come on."

"It wasn't me! The Young Bucks -- they sent all the pictures. All of them . . . The Young Bucks." He spoke in his native tongue as Kenny listened intently.

Matt and Nick looked at Kenny in confusion, "What, huh?" Nick asked not understanding the Japanese man.

"He's admitting to everything right?" Matt asked excitedly as Masa looked at him in confusion. "Huh, right?"

"Is that the truth?" Kenny asked as Masa nodded.

"Yeah." Masa confirmed.

"Yeah it is." Matt said slapping the man's shoulder still unaware Masa exposed both him and his brother. "Yeah, that's the truth. Thank you, Masa."

"It's about time you came clean." Nick chimed in.

Kenny looked at Masa who subtly pointed to Matt.

"It's about time, is this all cleared up now, huh?" Matt asked. "Can we just move on? The harmless rib is done, can we go to our favourite restaurant TGIF Friday for breakfast." Matt ranted.

Kenny nodded placing his hand on Masa's shoulder, "I really appreciate your honesty Masa. It's made things crystal clear now."

Matt nodded, "Good!"

"So—" Kenny was cut off by Nick's phone ringing. Candace played the tone from her phone as the men continued to ask who it was.

"Ah, Cody's calling." Nick said from behind the camera.

"Yeah, take it, take it." Kenny nodded as Candace turned her phone off and took Nick's camera/phone and began filming him.

"Hey man, you wanna go for breakfast?" Nick asked, "Yeah, yeah. You wanna talk to—" Nick turned to the boys, "He wants to talk to Masa." He handed the man his phone — a clear shot of a gaming app on his phone and not the call log where it should have been when you're on a call with someone. Candace's lips wrinkled as she suppressed a giggle.

"Hey Cody! Hey, yeah." Masa said holding the phone to his ear. "Yeah, yeah." He nodded, "What, really? Oh shit! Oh my, God." He nodded, "Yeah, okay." He said removing the phone from his ear.

"So, what did he say?"

"What did Cody want?"

"What'd he say?"

"Fuck the holy bible." He said meaning 'fuck the revival.' The group busted out in laughter as he did as well.
