It has always been a big clue for me about my feelings for Allen. I mean, yeah I did dated Matt for like, a while but I never had an attachment that strong. Like what I had with Allen -or Fergal
I was placing down Fergal's bag on the couch when Rebecca -Becky, came inside the room with flowers for Fergal.
She put it on the counter across Fergal's table and bid me a smile. She walked quietly towards Fergal and sat on the chair beside him, I lean on the table and watch as she stared to her brother-like friend.
People would always ask me "Don't you get jealous about them?" I admit yep, I kinda do. But still, it was her who was always first. I never understand how they never dated, I never believed that.
Some point inside that friendship, I know they dated, flirted for a while. Until they called it quits.
With a woman like Rebecca and a man like Fergal, I would immediately take the chance to date either one of them.
With that said, I didn't regret anything. Dating Fergal, befriending Becky, letting both of them hang out with or without them, I trust both of them. I trust them enough.
I glance over my phone and saw Allen calling on my phone. The ringtone might have startled Becky which made her jump a bit and turn towards me.
I immediately turn the phone off and flip my phone over. I faced Becky again and hissed, in which I followed a full teeth smile "Sorry" I said and crossed my arms
She laughed it off and turn back to Fergal "Thank you so much for coming with me. Finn might really need someone beside him besides me, it might bet tiring seeing my face" I said in a chuckle then walk towards them, going to the other side of Fergal's bed
After I sat down beside Fergal, Becky chuckled and lean back to her seat "With a face and attitude like yours, who would get tired?" I just chuckled at her response and I saw her yawn
"You need to rest. Tonight's been tiring, and very eventful. Visiting hours start at 8, maybe bring a few of them if they want to. For now, you need to get yourself some rest, take my car" I said and fished my keys from my pocket and gave it to her.
She took it and look at me, reading my face if I'm serious or not "I'll stay here with Fergal, wait until he wakes up" I said which probably convinced her.
She stood up and hugged me, from across the bed "Good night, Brice"
"Good night, Rebecca. Drive safely, pull over somewhere if you think you can't help your eyes"
I escorted her out the room and went to the bathroom after she left. I remove my sweatshirt and put my hair up in a bun.
I washed my face and sling my sweatshirt to my shoulder for the mean time.
After freshing up, I toss my sweatshirt to the chair and remove my shoes. I climb on top of the bed and went beside him, putting the covers on top of us. Putting my head under his good arm, I wrap my arms around his torso and finally slept
---
It was morning once again, how'd I know? The sun is now shining to the wall across ours.
With a groan, I fluttered my eyes open and saw Fergal's eyes staring back at mine "Good morning, did I woke you up?" he asked, moving to the side to let me stretch for a bit.
With a smile on my face, I shook my head and faced him "How are you feeling?" I asked him, clutching his hands to mine, burying my forehead on his chest while waiting for an answer
"I'm fine, what did the doctors say?" he asked, looking down at our now entangled hands, which he started playing "I need surgery don't I?"
"You'll be out for 6 months or so. I'm sorry" I said and kissed his lips and return to his chest
He shook his head and he followed it with a chuckle "You did nothing, so does Colby-" when us wrestlers who has a stage name far from our real names call each other in our actual names, something's up or just something "-I botched the move. It was my fault." he said which just made me sad even more
He worked so hard for that title, without even a day, it was taken away from him. He was the first NXT draft pick and definitely a fan favorite, he was on his high. Maybe something is just planned bigger for him, and I'll be with him on the way there.
We remained like that, just surrounded with silence, a comfortable silence "Becca came with me last night. She would visit again later on, maybe bring a few of our colleagues as well" I said and look up to his face, seeing if he wants anything to say
He nodded and closed his eyes again, removing his hands from mine and pulled me closer to him "Few more minutes....." yawning while saying it, my head on his chest
I stayed there under his arms for a few more minutes until the door swung open, revealing Becky and friends "Take a pic-"
Before Becca could even finish her sentence, Candice -who's arms are clinged to Gargano- took a picture which made the others laugh "Done!"
Both Fergal and I chuckled and his hug from me lightened up, me getting a chance to sat up from the bed "Mornig guys" I greeted them and Finn turn around to face them.
Before anything else, Seth runs towards us and hugged Fergal. He makes it seems like my hugs are just a simple pat on the back.
Fergal chuckled while hugging back, smiling as well.
I on the other hand, stood up to give them more space and Jessicka handed me my duffel bag from the hotel, probably with a few of my clothes. I took it from her and mouthed a 'thank you' before going inside the bath to change.
In there, they have a simple shower and a pack of shampoo and soap. I took a very quick bath and rinsed off, stepping off and brushed the shower curtains away to the side.
I look at my myself in the mirror and applied foundation and lipstick, and my face looks like a human. Done in one, two, three!
I opened the bag and examined the clothes in there, I have only few of them. This aren't all my clothes, Jessicka might've put it on some other bag, probably my actual luggage.
So, I got an oversized hoodie, denim shorts with some prints on the tip, Katana snapback and my Puma sneakers. I scrambled at my bag and saw the case of my Ray Bans, I opened it and fortunately it is there
I finished up the look and got out the bathroom, to see them talking with Fergal -Allen on the side where I use to be.
My ex boyfriend, who played with me and my feelings and took my virginity, is here beside my boyfriend, talking and laughing with him as if nothing happened and everything's fine.
With a cold face, I put my bag down and took my wallet and phone "I'll grab breakfast, anyone wants anything specific?" I asked without facing them, pretending I'm texting someone.
"We're good with anything you get" Alexa answered with a smile, I just nodded and didn't look anyone of them
"Devitt, anything?" I asked and finally looked at his direction, seeing Allen as well since they're so close at each other
Fergal shook his head with a smile before answering "I'm good with anything you get as well. Do you want Allen to join you-"
"No I'm good! I'll be back in a few minutes" I said immediately, cutting Fergaloff before going out the room.
I don't just go and tell my other half "Stay away from him! He's my ex!" and forget about the fact that they've spent longer years than we did.
I'm not that kind of person, I know my limits. But acting as if everything's okay, especially when you know you're far from it, that's where our problem would start.

After the Two kids who took a picture with me, the waiter came beside my table and put all my orders on top of my table.
When he saw me struggling, he took 3 bags away and asked "Do you need any assistance, ma'am?"
With a smile, I nodded and was about to motion for the car but hands took it away from him "She doesn't need assistance, I'll help her" I look at the direction of the voice and saw Allen with his P1 cap on
The waiter handed it to him with hesitation and walked away, after giving me a smile "Well, thank you for your help!" I told him before he went back inside the restaurant.
Without even minding the person beside me, I walked straight to the car and fiddled with my keys.
Finally getting to click it and got in, putting the foods on the other seat. I closed the door after but Allen tapped my window endlessly, I finally gave in and rolled it down "Come on, Brice-"
"-Sage"
"Sage, it's been 4 years! You gotta bury the hatchet"
"First of all, I'm not Vince to bury anyone. Second-" I remove my gaze from the steering wheel and glare at him by the window "-I'm going to bury the hatchet after I swing it by your head. Move away" I warned him, he still didn't budge.
"I told Fergal we would be back by 15 minutes -and he sent me here."
"Oh yeah, that's going to change everything. Go back like how you got here"
"People are watching!" he shouted/whispered. I glanced around and saw a few people walking out the restaurant looking at us, as if some married couple decided to take the drama out on public. You know, usual stuff.
I sighed in defeat and unlock the doors "Get in"
The drive was hella silent, my grip on the wheel tightening every minute. I told myself I would never get this close to him again. Yet here we are on the car, sitting side by side, holding some muffins and cupcakes as I drive
After a few more minutes of silence, he sighed and finally said something "It would be Albey's birthday, 2 weeks from now. No one in the house mentioned you anymore, except when they watch wrestling from time to time. Albey wants you there, for the kid's sake, please be there."
Silence
Instead of a verbal answer, I just nodded and pulled over at the parking lot "I'll think about it" I said, not one of us leaving the car even though it's parked already "But if I would go, it's because of the kids" I told him, pulling the keys out from the ignition and get out the car
I left him there struggling with the food, he did came for assistance though. He should be at least a bit useful somehow, someways.
I walked into the lobby and saw Dixie on one of the couches, making me stop my tracks. I glanced at Allen who gave me a nod, leaving after just in time as the elevator closed.
I faced the she-devil with arms crossed and raised eyebrows "Can we have a short conversation, just for at least 15 minutes?" she asked, saying the time rather not sure
I nodded but my face didn't change "Don't waste my time"
