Tonight, Cody was finally getting his match with Max. The build up to Revolution had been great but I was ready for this feud to be over.

"How do you feel about tonight?" I asked Max as he was getting ready.

"I think it'll be a night to remember," Max said.

"I'm just happy this feud can be over tonight," I said.

"I know you haven't been the biggest fan of all this," Max said.

"Don't get me wrong, it's been a good storyline, but it is weird watching my boyfriend and my uncle fight each other," I said.

I felt my phone buzz in my pocket.

Cody: Could you come to the locker room?

"Hey, I'll be back," I said.

"Everything okay?" Max asked.

"I think so," I said. "Cody wants to see me."

I gave Max a quick kiss before heading to the locker room for the Nightmare Family.

"There she is," Cody said when I walked in.

"Is everything alright?" I asked.

"Oh, yeah. I just wanted to ask you something," Cody said

"And you couldn't have just texted me?" I asked.

"No, because if you say yes then you need to get ready," Cody said. "Will you accompany me and the rest of the family for this match?"

"You want me out there with you?" I asked.

"Of course I do. You're part of the Nightmare Family," Cody said. "So, what do you say?"

"I'll start getting ready," I said with a smile.

Before getting ready I decided to text Max.

Me: Hey, I probably won't see you again before the match. Cody wants me to come out with him so I have to get ready. Good luck. I love you <3

Later...

I stood at the entrance of the tunnels with my dad while we waited for our queue to go out.

"Are you nervous?" Dustin asked. "I know you're not on TV much."

"I'm actually kind of excited," I said. "I get to support Cody and Max tonight."

"Just remember, play in to the kayfabe," Dustin said.

Cody's music started and soon it was time for us to go out.

The match ended with Max using the Dynamite Diamond to win. He may have beat my uncle, but I was still proud of him.

I slid into the ring along with the rest of the family to check on Cody. He was starting to get up when Max started on the mic.

"Isn't that sweet," Max said. "The whole family together."

Cody pulled himself up with the ropes before we all turned to face Max. I was confused since no one told me about a promo after the match.

"I hate to burst your bubble Cody, but not everyone is as loyal to your little family as you think," Max said.

"What are you talking about?" Cody asked.

"The fact that while everyone else has been busy kissing your ass, I've been busy with your niece," Max said.

All eyes turned to me. The whole situation threw me off for a minute. Max and I's relationship wasn't a secret by any means but it had never been mentioned on Dynamite before.

Then I remembered what my dad said before coming out.

"You really expect us to believe you of all people?" Dustin asked.

I hadn't even noticed he had gotten a mic.

"No, but I expect you to believe her," Max said.

"Alright then," Dustin said before handing me a mic. "Go ahead Bella. Tell him he's full of shit so we can go."

"Yeah, I'm not gonna do that," I said. "After all dad, you raised me not to be a liar."

I walked over to join Max and Wardlow. Max pulled me close before kissing me.

"It's too bad you had to find out this way," I said.

"No, I think it's good. It's better that they found out before," Max said.

"Before what?" I asked.

Wardlow passed something off to Max.

"Before we make it official," Max said as he got down on one knee.

He opened the ring box he had to reveal a beautiful diamond ring.

"Are you serious?" I asked.

I could feel tears welling up in my eyes.

"Absolutely," Max said. "Bella, will you marry me?"

"Of course I will," I said.

Max slid the ring onto my finger. When he stood, we kissed as the crowd cheered.

"I love you so much," I said.

"I love you too," Max said.
