I woke up in the morning and looked to my right. Seth was still sleeping away and he looked so peaceful. I smiled as I watched him for a moment before I carefully climbed out of bed. I walked into the bathroom and looked in the mirror. My smile instantly disappeared when I looked at my neck. Where was a hand print. Last night I'd been attacked by a fan he left a hand print on me. Why did this crap always have to happen to me? Why did I have to get beat up all the time by men? Were they trying to tell me something?
"You okay?" I turned around to see Seth standing in the doorway. He was rubbing his eyes trying wake up.
"Yeah." I said. "I'm fine."
He walked over and put his arms around my waist. His face changed when he saw my neck. I wasn't gonna hide it. Seth was already pissed about what happened. No sense in trying to keep him from seeing what was left behind. He sighed. "I'm sorry that happened to you." he said.
"It's okay." I said. "It's not the first time, remember?"
"I know but I wish you didn't have to go through all that. I wish I could change it all for you." he said.
I set my hands on his shoulders and smiled at him. "I know. And that means a lot. And it sucks going through it. But stuff happens in life. And my life hasn't been easy. Never was. Probably never will be. I've accepted that. And all that matters is that I'm fine and we have each other." I told him.
"We do have each other. And you'll always have me. I'm not going anywhere." he said. I smiled. "Come on. Let's go to the gym. Get some workout in." I nodded and then walked out of the bathroom to grab my workout clothes. I couldn't wait until I didn't have to deal with people targeting me anymore. But knowing my luck, that'll never happen.

The gym was pretty empty when Seth and I got down there. Roman was working out in the corner with Jordan. Dolph Ziggler was working out in the other corner with Braun Strowman and Seth and I started in the middle. I sat down on the ground while Seth stretched me out. It was routine for us to stretch each other before we started our workout together. And damn, he sure pushed me hard every time but I've gotten used to it by now. I expected nothing less when we were in the gym together.
Seth helped me up as soon as he was done stretching me and I smiled at him. "Where do you wanna start?" I asked him.
"Cardio." he said. We walked over to the treadmills and started out walking. We never like to just jump in. But then we always spent a couple hours at the gym because of it. "So, I was thinking about something." he said from next to me. I looked at him. "We should take a trip with Gracie. Like a first family vacation."
"I like that idea." I said. "Where should we go?"
"I'm thinking maybe Florida." he said.
"Florida? Why?" I asked.
"Well Roman's gonna be proposing to Jordan in two days and he wants to have an engagement party next week at his house." he said.
"At his house? Are you crazy?" I asked with a smirk. "The last time we went to Roman's house we ended up doing something as a group that we shall never speak about."
He laughed. "Hey it worked out great. We can add it to our experiences."
"It was awkward." I said.
"Are you saying you didn't enjoy it?" he asked.
"I never said that." I told him. "It was great but it was still awkward."
"Well this time that won't happen. It's just an engagement party." he said. "It'll be fun."
