Paige:
"Hey beautiful." Dean slides onto the bed and runs a hand over my hair. I just stay on my side, cuddled into the blankets. "Are you able to compete at SummerSlam?" I nod my head. "Hey, Saraya, look at me." I roll over and look at him. His blue eyes look into mine before he places a kiss on my forehead. "Are you ok? RAW is in Minneapolis tonight and we need to get going."
"Alright." I get up and head to the showers. I shower and get dressed before walking downstairs. I sit down on the stool and just stare at the fridge.
How was Cassidy? Was she still alive?

Dean Ambrose:
I head into the kitchen, only to notice Saraya just staring at the fridge. She looked like a ghost and I was beginning to think she shouldn't come to Minneapolis tonight.
"Ready?"
"Yeah, you?"
"Yeah." Paige gets off the stool and I noticed she wasn't wearing shoes. "Babe?" she stops and looks at me. "Shoes?"
"Right." she runs back upstairs and comes back down with some shoes on.

Paige:
Dean and I arrive at the arena and I keep my sunglasses on. I try to avoid the stares coming from people but it was hard.
"Paige, should you be here tonight?" Stephanie walks up to us.
"I'm fine." I smile and look up at Stephanie.
"Alright, you won't mind having a match with Emma tonight, would you? Seeing as Emma is leader of Charlotte and Becky while you were away."
"I won't mind." I give her a smile and head to the Divas Locker room. I change into different ring gear consisting of black cargo pants, some combat boots and a black vneck t-shirt. I place in some red extensions and slide my hands into some gloves before placing my phone in my bag and walking out.
I head towards the gorilla.

Dean Ambrose:
"Hey man, looks like Paige has got some new attire?" I look behind me and my jaw drops. Paige definitely changed. Who knew a woman could make cargo pants look so good?
I watch as she fixes her gloves before punching the air to get ready.
"Hey babe." I walk over to her and kiss her cheek. She almost punches me in the face.
"Sorry." she squeaks before kissing my chin. I smile and wrap my arms around her waist. "You coming with me to ringside?"
"Absolutely."
"Good, because we're going out now." she giggles and her music hits. We walk out, hand in hand, and we slide into the ring. Paige grabs a microphone and looks down the ramp.
"Emma, you stole my team. You stole my friends and for that, I'm getting payback on you." Emma's music hits and she walks out, a smirk on her face.
"Waging war against me, Paige? Are you sure you wanna do that because I'll hit you right where it hurts." I was taken aback from by how aggressive Emma was.
"Just get in here and fight me." Emma slides into the ring, Becky and Charlotte backing her.
