Trust Comes First (A WWE Fanfic)

Chapter 29 Deal Breaker

    I jerked awake, the sunlight streaming through the RV. I was still on the chair and I saw it was 2 in the afternoon. I wondered what woke me and I heard the RV door slam. Looking over I saw Phil walk in, looking just as exhausted as I felt. My mouth dropped open and a look of fury fell over my face. He opened his mouth to say something but shut it again.

"What the fuck happened last night?" I seethed, all the worry disappearing and anger taking its place.

"Lila I am so sorry." He began, running a hand over his head.

"Don't do that. What the hell happened? A fucking text Phil. A goddamn phone call. That's all I would have needed. Instead I wandered around Chicago for 2 fucking hours looking for you." I shouted, getting to my feet.

"You went walking around looking for me?" he whispered, a sick look on his face.

"Ya I got back here at 4." I snapped, rubbing my eyes, feeling gritty from crying.

"Lila I'm sorry. I just..." he trailed off, looking away.

I knew in an instant he was hiding something from me and I took a deep breath. Bracing my hand against the couch I stared him down.

"Phil did you even go see your parents last night?" I asked, voice shaking.

His head jerked up and he looked shocked, "Of course I did. I wouldn't lie to you. I went there and then I went to my place."

"Ya to grab some things you said. I don't see you with anything Phil. Don't, don't do that. Don't lie to my face." I spat, not sure where this conversation was going but knowing it was headed downhill.

"Look I went to the house and when I got there, there was someone waiting for me." He started, looking more and more nervous, leaning against the wall.

He glanced over at me and I watched with wary eyes. I didn't say anything just waited for him to go on. He ran his hands over his face, letting out a breath.

"AJ was waiting for me outside my apartment." He admitted and his words hit me like a ton of bricks.

AJ had waited at his house and he had been gone all night. I was still in my clothes from last night but I didn't care. Running into the bedroom I grabbed my charger, yanking it from the wall. Coming out I grabbed my wallet and phone from the table.

"Lila what are you doing? Where are you going?" he asked, watching me grab my stuff.

"I gotta go. I can't...I cant." I shook my head, pushing past him and jumping out of the bus.

I had no idea where to go so I just turned and started walking. There were a bunch of buses in the parking lot, belonging to people who would rather be in the bus than a hotel. I heard the door open and close and footsteps behind me. Phil grabbed my arm, pulling me to a stop.

"Lila nothing happened. I swear to you." He exclaimed, standing in front of me.

"Phil you were gone all night!" I shrieked, yanking my arm out and pushing against his chest, "You really think I'm that stupid? That I'm that naïve to believe that you weren't with her? If I got close to you am I gonna smell her all over your clothes?"

He raked a hand through his hair, looking scared and anxious. I could see people at the corner of my eye but I was too pissed to notice. They were walking towards us from the buses.

"I'm right aren't I?" I asked, when he stayed silent, "You fucking promised me!"

"Look she tried to kiss me. She said she came back for me when Stephanie and Hunter offered her to come back. I didn't do anything, I pushed her away." He pleaded, eyes wide.

"You just played into it didn't you. Must have taken you all night long to convince her you didn't want her huh?" I shook my head, a bitter smile on my lips, "Stay away from me. I'll get someone to pick up my stuff."

"Lila please. I swore nothing would happen between her and me and nothing did."

I turned away, clutching my head in my hands, feeling broken. Phil put his hand on my shoulder and turned, throwing his hand off of me.

"Don't. Don't touch me."

"Lila are you ok?" a deep voice came from my right and I turned.

"Not a great time Reigns." Phil snapped, glaring at Roman and Seth who were watching me.

"No this is great. You two should bond. Seems like you guys have a common interest in hurting me." I grinned, the smile wobbly.

I turned and ran before anyone could grab me. I had no idea where I was going but I just ran till I made it to a bus, turning a corner and slamming by back against it. I felt the sobs start, shoulders shaking. I slid down, ending on my ass on the concrete. I clutched my head, hands tangled in the strands of my hair and I heard footsteps. Looking up I saw Seth standing there. He crouched down in front of me, putting his gym bag down. Scooting forward he wrapped his arms around me, letting me cry my hearts content out on his shoulder. After what felt like a century I let go of him, leaning back. He grabbed my arms, helping me to my feet. He brought his hands up, brushing my hair from my face and wiping the tears that I missed.

"I don't know what he did Lila but I can see it isn't good." He said quietly, not wanting to draw attention to us.

"I can't..." I trailed off, blinking rapidly.

"I'm not asking you to." He shook his head, wrapping me back in his arms.

I was feeling vulnerable and I let him hold me, my hands resting lightly on his waist. He held me tightly, almost like he was trying to hold me together. He was fighting a losing battle there. Burying my face in his shoulder I took deep breaths until I felt calm enough to lean back again.

"Where do you want to go?" he asked, looking at the buses.

"Nikki's. Well John's I mean." I corrected, knowing she would let me stay.

"Ok." He nodded, picking up his bag, a hand on my lower back, leading me to the huge silver bus.

He knocked on the door as I leaned on the side. I ran a hand over my face, feeling my swollen eyes and I winced. The door opened and John stared down at Seth a frown on his face.

"What?" he snapped.

"Someone needs you." He stated simply, looking at me.

He leaned out further, taking in my swollen eyes, tangled hair and disheveled clothes and he leapt out. Seth moved as Nikki came out, her mouth dropping when she saw me. Seth gave me a nod and turned to walk away, now that I was in capable hands.

"Seth!" I called out, watching as he turned around, "Thanks."

HE nodded giving me a small genuine smile. I turned my gaze to Nikki and John who were looking at me in shock. I let out a sigh as they lead my into the bus, shutting the door.

"What the hell Lila? Did you manage to find Phil?" Nikki inquired, her face a mask of worry when I winced at Phil's name.

John was waiting patiently, knowing I would open up when I was ready. Taking a few deep breaths I tried to find the words. Every time I thought about saying them they wouldn't come out. Swallowing I took one deep breath and looked up at them, my eyes crushed.

"I think Phil slept with AJ last night."
