"Match day!" Aurora hooked her arms around Seth's neck from behind and stared at them in the mirror. "Are you excited?"

"Hell yeah, I'm trying to bring that trophy home." He turned his neck to kiss her, and after they did she smiled sadly. How could someone so amazing cheat on her like that?

She wasn't gonna lie, maybe being an eGirl wasn't such a good idea, I mean, she's gotten her heart broken so much already and she's only been with Matt and Seth. "What's up?"

"It's nothing, don't worry." Rory kept thinking about how she didn't want to ever break up with him. He was so sweet and honestly really good in bed, but he cheated on her. And that was wrong.

"If so, then wanna do a lil' something something before the match?" He wiggled his eyebrows and she laughed.

"I'd love to." She turned him around and pushed him onto the bed.

After they had fully worn themselves out, it was almost time to head down to the venue and get the match started.

She wasn't sure who played before them, all that she knew was EnVy had 4-0'd H2K. And she felt kinda bad for Phil and the rest of them.

Seth was in the shower when Rory heard Seth's phone ding from Twitter. She peeked over and saw a DM from Lorah Michaels. Huh, who would have guessed. She didn't bother unlocking his phone and reading the full thing before she got up and walked out of the room, with a room key and her phone. She needed to find someone to talk to, and it was definitely not Seth.

Room 108. Jordan Kaplan's room.

"Knock knock," Rory said from behind the door. "Let me in uglies."

"Rors! Hey!" Jordan picked her up for a hug and she inhaled before saying her hellos. "What are you doing here?"

"Came to see you and Matt, of course. Congrats on the win, Jord."

"Thanks," He smiled. "So, what's up?"

Rory shut the door behind her. "Is anyone else here?"

"Besides Matt, no."

"Alright, good." She ran fingers through her hair before she plopped down on the bed right next to Matt. "Seth's cheating on me."

"With who?" Matt asked.

"The Lorah girl. You know, the one he made the tweet about the night of his birthday."

"How'd you know?"

"Well, first of all, we finished.. you know and he went to take a shower before your match, right? So I'm scrolling through Twitter and I see someone named Lorah Michaels was DMing him. Like, what the fuck?"

"You can stay in the room with me and John if you'd like."

"That would be great." She smiled at Jordan.

"Hey, I have the match today, so I'm gonna head to ESL. I'll see you guys there?" Matt said.

Rory gave him a squeeze. "Good luck, Matt."

"Yeah, good luck man. Me and Rory will be watching from the crowd." Jordan added.

"Thanks, you guys. Means a lot to me. Bye." He took his room key and shut the door behind him, leaving Jordan and Rory alone.

"Speaking of John, where is he?" Rory asked.

"Dunno. I think he went out with Brian and like Danny or someone, I have no idea." She nodded. "Want to head to the studios and take our seats?"

"Definitely." Jordan smiled at Rory and they left the room together.

Seth could not believe his eyes.

Rory was sitting across the room, laughing and chatting away with the dudes from Rise and FaZe and she was sitting right next to Jordan, out of all people. To say the least, he was pissed.

The admins went over and checked to see if everything was working properly for the match and once everything was set up his view of Rory was blocked. So much for knowing what his girlfriend was doing while they played.

He could really faintly hear Maven and Machine talking at the casters table before he shook that out of his mind and talked to the team to get them prepared.

Was he ready and confident that they were gonna win this match? No, because his mind was on Rory the whole time.

+

They lost.

Rory sat reading through her timeline about the upset on the bed, waiting for Seth. She had already told Jordan and John that it would probably be best to just stay with him after they lost the match like a good girlfriend would do.

Matt and Seth walked into the room absolutely devastated, making Aurora's heart hurt looking at them. "Hey."

"Hey." Seth laid down next to her, pulling her in close and kissing her forehead. "I'm okay, Rors. I'm fine."

"I just want you guys to know I love you both very much and one loss doesn't define your whole career, okay? You'll get 'em next time at Orlando and XP." She spoke to both of them.

"Thank you, Rory. I love you too." Matt said. She could tell he didn't mean the last part like he used to.

"I love you so much, please never forget that." Seth kissed her, and they all drifted off to sleep, dreaming of the upset.
