Happily Ever After is so Once Upon a Time.

"PHILLY!!! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!?" I yelled at him as i jumped up in his arms.
"I've been in the shower. Can i ask you something?" He said his eyes full of hope.
"You just did," i giggled "yes you can." i said still in his arms.
"Will you go on a date with me?" He asked.
"Yes, of course." i said as i smiled.
"Great tomorrow at eight I'll leave the hotel room so you can get ready but for now lets go to bed"as he laid me down in the hotel bed i remembered i forgot to call my dad.
"Shit i need to go call my dad. Keep my spot warm. Im gonna go outside and talk to him." i said he nodded and i left.
I dialed his number and stepped into the cold Minnesota air. he answered

~* end of call*~
I sat there and cried for a good ten minutes and heard someone walk up.
"Are you ok Mack?" Said the person that i dont know. I looked up to see Seth Rollins aka Colby Lopez.
"What do you want asshole. I dont need any sympathy from your sorry ass. I'm already sick of you and I've only been on the main roster for one day now." i spat angrily.
"I'm sorry for the way i treated you all this time. Ok? I didnt mean to take Joe away from--" i cut him off and stood up and slapped him across the face. I was still crying tears pouring down my face like a waterfall.
"DONT YOU EVER SPEAK TO ME AGAIN. AND IF YOU DO SPEAK TO ME AGAIN IT BETTER ONLY BE AT WORK. SECOND DONT EVER TALK ABOUT JOE TO ME! I HATE HIM HE HATES ME AND YOU BETTER HOPE I DONT BEAT YOUR ASS TOMORROW. AND IF I DO YOU BETTER HOPE I DONT FUCKING KILL YOU!" I screamed at him a dark red mark on his face now turning purple for all the force that i slapped him with. He stood there a look of shock on his face as i stormed off and went to the elevator. I went to my room and walked up to my door and walked in. I saw Phil playing on his phone i went and stood and looked out the window, silently crying my head in my hands. I felt Phil's arms around my waist i looked at him concern written all over his face.
"You were crying. Are you ok?"
"No there's no use in lying i guess." i said feeling bad for putting him in this situation.
"I know what your thinking and yes I'm fine with you telling me anything." He said reassuringly.
"My dad always says when we talk about my mom shes in a better place now and i hate it. i mean wasnt she in a good place here with us. And after my mom died i started cutting and have been trying to stop for the longest time but i just cant." I said tears pouring from my eyes again.
"Let me see." He said as he lifted up my shirt sleeve and saw the old cut marks. Then he lifted up my other sleeve and saw all the new ones. I could see tears forming in his eyes and one roll down his face. I've never seen him cry before.
"Phil dont cry or I'm gonna cry harder. " I said pleadingly.
"I cant help it i just hate seeing you like this. I cant help but think this is because of me. " He said tears falling down his cheeks. I wiped them away with my thumb.
"Dont say that Phil you're my best friend you were there when nobody was. None of this is you're fault. " He looked down at his hands. " Look at me" he looked up and i couldn't help but see how much of a mess we both were.
"I'm sorry for--" i kissed him to shut him up.
"Stop that its not your fault. Let's lay down its been one eventful night" he chuckled.
"Yes it has goodnight Mackelmore." he said and i smiled.
"Goodnight straightedge." i said as darkness overcame me.

~~**NEXT MORNING**~~

Knock. Knock. Knock.
"Come in." I yelled from the bed. Phil was gone and away probably getting ready for the date.
"Hey boo get your ass up." Nikki said loudly in my ear.
"What time is it?" I asked her.
"10:30 Phil told me to let you sleep in a little because something bad went down last night." She gently grabbed both my hands and turned my arms so she could see my wrists. She gasped as she saw the 13 new lines on my arms. 13 its always been my lucky number.
"Come on you need to take a shower. A really hot one." She said and pushed me in the bathroom.
-* after shower *-
"Nikki are my clothes on my bed?" I yelled to the other room.
"Yeah they are" she yelled back.
I quickly got dressed because Nikki wanted to do my hair.
She curled it and just let it flow free.
"Girl now that i look at you i dont see that frilly country girl look on you. I forgot your not blonde anymore. You look all New York tough too bad you can get rid of your southern twang." She said i smiled.
"I wouldn't get rid of this twang for anything. If gives me a piece of myself that i still have." I said and smiled widely
"Will you tell me what happened last night before you came back here i just wanna know. I'm like your big sister." I told her the whole story and cried until i was done. Good thing she hadn't done my makeup yet.
"I wanna wear something else. That shows who i really am." I said proudly.
"Ok give me a moment." She said and walked off to get some clothes from my suitcase.
I changed and felt better wait until my dad sees me he'll be super happy to see that I'm wearing this and not my stupid badass rocker chick shit. Thats my gimmick on tv the badass that follows no rules. Not that my personality is much different.
By the time were were done with my make up and after a few episodes of housewives of Beverly Hills. Dont judge i love that show. It was 7:45. I heard a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Nikki yelled. I got up and went to open the door. I couldn't believe my eyes on who stood in front of me. Roman Reigns.
"Angel. I missed you. Wow you look---" i cut him off by trying to slam the door but he stuck his foot in there.
"Not so fas--" I slapped him.
"GET AWAY FROM ME YOU THINK ITS OK AFTER ALMOST 7 YEARS THAT ITS OK TO TALK TO ME? LIKE NOTHING EVEN HAPPENED? WELL NEWSFLASH ASSHOLE AFTER THIS I WILL NEVER TALK TO YOU AGAIN! OH WHAT? NOTHING TO SAY? NO ONE EVER SAY NO TO YOU JOE? WELL GUESS WHAT YOUR LITTLE STUNT WITH COLBY REALLY PISSED ME OFF! YOU DONT JUST SEND YOUR ASSHOLE FRIEND TO TRY AND TALK TO ME ABOUT YOU!" I paused for breath and pulled up my quarter length sleeves so he could see my whole arm. "YOU SEE THIS I DID THIS TO MYSELF BECAUSE OF YOU! I THOUGHT FOR THOSE WHOLE SEVEN YEARS THAT THE REASON THAT YOU WERENT MY FRIEND ANYMORE BECAUSE I DID SOMETHING WRONG! I FUCKING CRIED TO MY DAD LAST NIGHT FOR AN HOUR ABOUT HOW NUCH I MISS YOU! I FUCKING HONESTLY THOUGHT THAT YOU WERE MORE THAN THIS! PULLING THIS LITTLE STUNT FIFTEEN MINUTES BEFORE MY DATE WITH PHILLP! And i know you fucking knew so dont bullshit me asshole. I hope you have fun contemplating in your tiny brain what i just said i want you too think long and hard before EVER speaking too me again." I look at his shocked face eyes wide and mouth open, before i kick his foot out and slam the door. Honestly it took all the power in me not too slap him across the face.
"Mackie are you ok?" I heard Nikki from behind me.
"Just dandy" I said through clenched teeth.
"No your not, surprisingly your not crying."
"Because hes not worth it anymore."
I heard a beep.
"Babe, are you ready?" Phil came in, i faked a smile.
"Yep. I'll see you later Nik!" She gave me the 'we'll talk about this later look'. I shrugged and laced my fingers with Phil's and walked out, my smile now real and wide.
"Phil?" He looked up at me. "Where are we going?"
"Surprise." He smirked he knew i hated surprises.
"But why can--" I stopped mid sentence. The guys of the shield were all there staring at me. I decided too really piss Joe and Colby off and say hi to Jon.
"Hey Jon." I said and smiled wide.
"Hey Mack what are you doing on this fine evening?" He said and returned the smile. I intertwined mine and Phil's hand again and i pulled him over.
"Going on a date with Phillip" I said smiled and looked at Phil who looked like he was gonna burst out with laughter soon. "Were gonna go now see you 'round Jon!" I said and we walked off and out the door.
Phil started laughing instantly. I giggled.
"Did you see Joes face hysterical. " He said
"That was the point."
"I know you were yelling at him before i came and got you i could hear you in the lobby. I was waiting for the door slam to come upstairs" he let go of my hand and held out his arm. "Shall we?" He said i giggled and got in the car. we drove off
