Happy Thanksgiving my wonderful readers! Here is my small gift to all of you.. the season finale for Arlington Heights! I hope you all enjoy the chapter!

Friday night everyone gathered for the homecoming game against Fulton High. Seth had managed to get Becky to come to the game. He was talking with the rest of the team in a huddle when he looked up at her in the bleachers with Luke and Anna. Becky let out an awkward smile as Seth waved to her.

"What the fuck happened to your face, Rollins?" Randy asked.

A few of the guys took notice of the busted lip on Seth.

"Did someone kick your ass, Rollins?" Dolph joked.

"Hopefully." Roman added with a hint of satisfaction in his voice.

Seth rolled his eyes and tried to stay focused on the game.

Corey walked onto the field and positioned himself to take photos of the game when Fulton's team came out. Brie was standing against the fence between Arlington Heights football team and the cheerleaders when Phil stopped by her. Roman glanced over as Brie gave Phil an uncomfortable smile.

"So is you think your girl got cozy with any of these pricks while she was in Fulton?" Adam asked Roman.

Roman was a little taken back by how jealous he was getting.

"Not a chance." Roman told Adam.

Bayley accidentally glanced over and saw Adam watching her.

"Dude, what the fuck do you think you're doing?" Kyle asked as he pulled Adam aside.

"What do you mean?" Adam asked.

"Stay away from her, man. I'm serious." Kyle warned him.

"Why do I have to stay away? I mean it's not like she's your girlfriend or anything, right?" Adam asked with a smirk on his face.

Kyle watched in frustration as Adam walked away from him.

Finn was getting a quick drink of water before the game started when Sami approached him.

"So you and Bayley are talking again?" Sami asked.

"It's complicated." Finn told him.

"Right." Sami said uncomfortably.

"We're just friends, Sami. It's not like you think." Finn assured him.

"Then what's it like?" Sami asked curiously.

"She's helping me out, okay? It's not a big deal." Finn said casually.

"You haven't been home in weeks, Finn. Did something happen?" Sami asked.

Finn tried to walked away without saying anything.

"They found out didn't they?" Sami asked suddenly.

Finn stopped in his tracks at Sami's question.

"And they kicked you out?" Sami asked.

Finn looked back at Sami as he tried to fight back tears. As Sami went to comfort Finn with a hug he backed away.

"What the do you think you're doing?" Finn asked him.

"I'm sorry, I just thought-." Sami began to say.

"Well you thought wrong, Sami. Nothing has changed between us." Finn told him before walking away.

Sami stood there for a moment uncomfortably as the guys made their way out to the field.

Artem was sitting on the bleachers with Principal McMahon when he glanced over at Nikki. She gave him a slight smile, careful not to draw attention to herself.

As the guys lined up for the first play of the game Seth's attention was brought to Nikki as she cheered on the team.

"Let's go boys! You've got this!" Nikki shouted with a smile on her face.

Seth watched her for a moment and admired her smile. When Nikki saw Seth looking at her he turned around in a panic. He was now facing the opposite direction that the other players were in.

"What is he doing?" Anna asked in confusion.

"What the fuck, Rollins?" Randy asked.

"Sorry, I uhh.. Thought I saw a bird." Seth said as he tried to play it cool.

Everyone gave him an awkward look while Nikki laughed to herself at Seth's embarrassment.

As the game kicked off, Adam snapped the ball off to Seth as Roman ran down the field. Seth threw the ball to Roman but as soon as he caught the ball, Phil tackled him to the ground aggressively. The crowd let out a gasp of concern as Brie covered her mouth. Seth made his way over to help Roman up but Miz beat him to the punch.

"You okay, man?" Miz asked as he pulled Roman up to his feet.

"I'm fine. What the hell is that dudes problem?" Roman asked.

Miz looked over as Phil winked at Brie. Roman stormed over to the sidelines and approached her.

"Who the fuck is this guy?" Roman asked as everyone on the field brought their attention to him and Brie.

"It's a long story." Brie said.

"Well I've got like three seconds so summarize it for me." Roman told her.

"He's my ex.." Brie said.

Roman looked at her for a moment as he tried to contain his anger.

"Okay, that's all I needed to know."  Roman said.

"Roman, wait-." Brie began to say as Roman walked away.

Seth and Miz were talking when Roman approached them.

"Let's take that mother fucker out." Roman told them.

Seth looked at Roman in confusion for a moment.

"You got a problem with that?" Roman asked.

"No, not at all." Seth said with a slight smile on his face.

Roman walked away and put his helmet back in.

"The boys are back, baby!" Miz yelled in excitement.

Nikki, Alexa, Sasha, and Mandy all looked at each other with a little bit of excitement, all knowing that the guys were about to kick some ass.

"Why do I have a sudden urge to flash everyone right now?" Mandy asked.

Everyone shared a small laugh as the guys lined up for their next play. An intense silence came over the crowd as Adam snapped the ball to Seth. Seth faked a hand off to Miz as Roman ran down the field. Phil watched carefully when it looked like Miz handed the ball off to Kyle. Colin was chasing Miz down the field as Seth tossed the ball. Phil was on his way to tackle Roman but before he could, Sami tackled him instead. Roman caught the ball, getting a loud cheer from the crowd. A big smile came across Seth's face as Roman ran down to the end zone and made the touchdown. Becky let out a smile too when she saw Miz, Seth and Roman bump chests like idiots.

A few more plays into the game, Aj made her way up the bleachers to find a seat.

"Aj!" Paige yelled.

Aj looked at Paige awkwardly for a moment as she waved her over.

Renee glanced over from the sidelines as Aj sat down next to Paige.

"What the hell?" Renee asked herself as she watched Paige say hello to Aj.

When it was Fulton's turn to make a play, Kenny Omega snapped the ball to their quarterback, Cody Rhodes. Cody looked down the field and saw Phil was open. As he threw the ball, Roman nearly speared Phil into the ground. Mandy couldn't help but be a little turned on by Roman right now.

"Damn, it's getting hot out here."
Mandy said under her breath.

Brie was a little concerned for Phil but she kind of liked seeing this side of Roman.

"Stay the fuck away from my girl." Roman whispered to Phil before getting up.

Phil watched uncomfortably as Brie flashed Roman a smile. Cody walked over and helped Phil up.

"You okay?" Cody asked him.

"I think a few of my ribs are still on the ground but other than that I'm fucking great." Phil said as he limped away.

Later that night during half time, Paige was on her way to the concession stand for popcorn when she saw a familiar face lurking in the parking lot.

"What are you doing here?" Paige asked as she pulled her mother between two cars.

"I went by the cafe but no one was there. I figured I would find you here." Her mother said in a shaky voice.

"Are you high right now?" Paige asked her.

"I just need a little bit of cash to get me through the week." Her mother tried to say.

Paige looked at her mother with disappointment for a moment as she felt her heart break into pieces.

"I don't have anymore money. I bought a homecoming dress and-." Paige began to say before her mother interrupted her.

"Don't you love me?" Her mother asked.

"What?" Paige asked in confusion.

"I'm your mother sweetie. If you love me then you'll just give me the money." Her mother told her.

"I told you I don't have money for you." Paige tried to tell her.

Her mother suddenly grabbed her arm aggressively.

"Damn it, Paige just give me the money!" Her mother yelled at her.

Paige's eyes filled with tears when she realized she didn't recognize the woman stand big tiny of her.

"Mommy, you're hurting me." Paige said with a crack in her voice.

"Let her go." Phil said as he approached the situation.

Paige looked at her mother helplessly as she let go of her arm.

"Now get out of here before I call the police." Phil told her mother.

Paige watched as her mother hurried away. Phil looked over at Paige as she began to shake. He wasn't exactly sure what to do but he took a step towards her.

"Are you okay?" Phil asked her.

Without thinking, Paige fell into Phil's arms for comfort. He cautiously wrapped his arms around her as she cried over his shoulder.

"I'm so sorry. I don't know why did that." Paige said as she backed away from him.

"It's okay, I don't mind." Phil assured her.

Paige wiped the tears from her eyes and let out a small laugh.

"Yeah,, I bet you don't." Paige joked.

"I'm not trying to hit on you, if that's what you think." Phil said.

"I know.. I'm sorry, that's just how I-." Paige began to say.

"Deflect your feelings?" Phil asked suddenly.

Paige looked up at him in surprise by his comment.

"What was your name again.. Flip something?" Paige asked him.

He let out a small laugh to himself.

"It's Phil." He said.

"Right. Well Phil.. are you having fun getting your ass handed to you tonight?" Paige joked.

"Not really But you Gus do have a great football team. Maybe I'll have to tryout next year." Phil suggested.

"Tryout?" Paige asked in confusion.

"Don't tell anyone but I'm transferring here in a few weeks." Phil told her.

"You're moving to Arlington Heights?" Paige asked him.

"Yeah. Maybe I'll see you around?" Phil asked her.

Paige let out a small smile as he began to back away.

"Yeah, maybe you will." Paige said as he walked away.

The guys were still in the locker room when Nikki was William walking towards the field.

"I'll be right back." Nikki said as she took off towards the parking lot.

William was walking with purpose to the field when Nikki stopped him.

"You shouldn't be here." Nikki told him.

"Get out of my way, little girl." William told her.

"No, you get out if my way!" Nikki yelled as she pushed him back with force.

Will looked at her for a moment as she stared at him furiously.

"Unless you are going to go out there and apologize to your son for being a horrible father then I suggest you get the hell out of here." Nikki old him.

"Excuse me?" William asked her.

"You're son is a kind and gentle young man who has one of the biggest hearts I have ever known. But you have tried time and time again to turn him into some kind of monster. You are a broken and miserable man with nothing to live for except making your own son feel as pathetic as you do." Nikki told him.

Will look down at her uncomfortably as she continued.

"Well I've got news for you, Mr. Rollins.. Seth is doing just fine without you. Hell, he's doing better without you! For once he has a grown up in his life that actually cares about him."
Nikki continued.

"Luke has no right to care for my son." Will mumbled under his breath.

"Luke has been more of a father to your son these past few weeks than you've been his entire life!" Nikki yelled at him.

"He's my son." William told him.

"If you care about him at all you will turn around, get in whatever fancy car you drove here and drive back to whatever hotel you have been staying at in the city. He doesn't need you anymore." Nikki told him.

"You've got some nerve talking to me like this." William told her.

"She's right." Seth said as she revealed himself.

Nikki looked back at him in surprise.

"You should go, dad. I don't need you." Seth told him.

Tears filled Williams eyes as he looked at his son with regret.

"I've got Luke now." Seth said.

"Right.. You've got Luke." William said before walking away.

Seth tried to fight back tears as Nikki tried to walk off.

"Did you mean all of that?"
Seth asked her.

Nikki stopped in her place.

"All of that about me being kind and gentle, me having a big heart?" Seth asked her.

Nikki looked back at him and let out a small smile.

"I meant every word of it." Nikki said seriously.

Seth took a deep breath and watched Nikki walked back to the field.

Carmella was getting a drink of water when Colin approached her.

"You crazy bitch, you really think you're gonna get away with trashing my car?" Colin asked her.

Carmella looked up at Colin with fear in her eyes.

"Get away from me, Colin." Carmella said as she tried to walk away.

Colin grabbed her arm and stopped her. Carmella turned around and smacked Colin across the face.

"Don't you ever touch me again! Next time I'll load up my daddies shot gun instead of just trashing your car." Carmella told him.

"Did you really just threaten to kill me?" Colin asked her.

"Don't touch me, don't talk to me, don't call me, Hell don't even look at me ever again, Colin." Carmella told him before walking away.

Corey was watching from a distance when Carmella approached him.

"Everything okay?" Corey asked.

"Yeah, I think so." Carmella said as she glanced back at Colin.

"Because I could totally take him." Corey told her.

Carmella suddenly burst out into laughter.

"No you couldn't.. but it sweet of you to think you could." Carmella said as she kissed Corey in the cheek.

Butterflies filled Corey's stomach as she let out a slight smile.

That night, Seth and Roman assured each other in making the winning touchdown. The crowd went crazy as Becky watched Roman and Seth give each other a nod of approval. Brie ran out to the field and jumped in Roman's arms. Mandy watched from the sidelines as Brie presses her lips against Roman's. They shared a kiss for a moment before. Roman pulled away and let out a smile.

"Does this mean we're back together?"  Roman asked her.

"Maybe." Brie said as she leaned in and kissed him again.

Alexa ran out and congratulated Miz with a kiss of her own. Seth looked up at the bleachers but Becky was looking down at her phone. He glanced over and met his eyes with Nikki's. She gave him a smile of her own, almost speaking to with with her eyes.

Bayley was about to walk up to Kyle to congratulate him herself but Peyton and Dana already beat her to the punch.

"You looked so hot out there tonight." Peyton said as she ran her hand down Kyle's muscles.

Bayley stood back at watched uncomfortably for a moment as Adam approached her.

"You I won I could really use one of those congratulatory kisses that are going around." Adam told him.

Bayley rolled her eyes and walked away from him.

Later that night, everyone made their way to Randy's house outside of town for the big party. Seth parked his truck down the street from Randy's house and looked around at all the cars.

"Damn, there's a lot of people here." Seth said.

He looked over to find Becky looking at her phone again.

"Are you still waiting for him to text you?" Seth asked.

Becky looked up in confusion.

"Do me a favor and shut that thing off." Seth told her.

"What?" Becky asked him.

"Shit off your phone and go into this party with your handsome ass boyfriend and have a good time. Take a break for the night and have fun." Seth told her.

Becky took a deep breath and shut off her phone.

"Fine. Let's go." Becky said as she got out of the car.

Seth put his arm around Becky and they walked up to Randy's house where everyone else was ready partying.

"Chug! Chug! Chug!" A group guys cheered on Carmella as they held her up to the keg stand.

Corey stood back and watched in disbelief at what he was seeing.

Finn was talking with Kyle and Adam when he saw Bayley getting a drink with Sami.

"So Finn.. How do you feel about Kyle stealing your girl?" Adam asked.

Finn let out a small laugh as he looked over and saw some guy approach Bayley and Sami.

"Hey, I'm Kenny." He introduced himself.

"Yeah, I know.. we just kicked your teams ass." Sami told him.

Kenny let out a small laugh to himself.

"Why don't you let me get you a drink?" Kenny asked him.

Bayley steppes back a little when she realized what was going on. Finn furrowed his eyes as he watch a stranger try to hit on Sami.

"Fuck no." Finn said as he handed his beer to Adam.

Adam and Kyle watched in confusion as Finn stormed across the parked and approached Sami and Kenny.

"Get lost, he's taken." Finn told him.

Bayley's eyes widened in surprise by Finn's comment. Sami looked up at Finn as Kenny walked away.

"I'm taken?" Sami asked him.

"Damn right you are." Finn said as he leaned in and pressed his lips against Sami's.

A few people at the party turned their heads as Finn and Sami shared a slow and passionate kiss in the middle of the party. Bayley was suddenly piecing together the night she slept with Sami as a rush of guilt came over her. She casually walked off and made her way out of the party. Kyle was still a little shocked by what he was seeing but Adam noticed Bayley sneak off.

"Need a refill man?" Adam asked.

Kyle nodded his head in silence.
Adam let out a small laugh before grabbing his friends cup walked away.

In front of Randy's house, Bayley had made her way out to an old sodden swing hanging from a tree. She took a deep breath and chugged down what was left of her beer.

"Don't tell me you still have feelings for Finn." Adam said as he approached.

Bayley rolled her eyes and let out a sigh. Adam walked in front of her and saw that she had tears in her eyes.

"Are you okay?" Adam asked sincerely.

"Do you care?" Bayley asked him.

Adam looked down at her for a moment with soft eyes.

"You'd be surprised." Adam told her.

Bayley looked up at him helplessly.

"I slept with Sami." Bayley confessed to him.

Adam raises his eyes brows for a moment in surprise at what he had just heard.

"You and.. Sami?" Adam asked in confusion.

"I thought Finn actually cared about me but after what just happened back there I think it's obvious that was all a lie." Bayley began to say.

Adam felt and uncomfortable ache in his chest when he saw how hurt Bayley was.

"I was drunk and hurt when Finn.. When he told me he didn't feel the same." Bayley tried to explain.

"And that's when you slept with Sami?" Adam asked curiously.

Bayley nodded slowly as a tear fell down her face.

"It was my first time." Bayley said with a crack in her voice.

Adam closed his eyes in disappointment as he crouched down to face her.

"Look I don't why you decided to go through this whole bad girl phase of yours but I don't think it's you. I mean every time I look at you I just see that little girl from Sunday morning mass that always wore her hair up in that cute pony tail with the white bow and some modest sundress. Too me you'll always be that sweet, innocent little girl. And to be honest, I think you're trying to run away from that girl you used to be. I don't know why but you don't want to be that girl anymore.. so if that's the case then congratulations.. what you did with Sami is not something the old you would have done." Adam told her.

Bayley looked at Adam skeptically for a moment.

"I feel like I am supposed to be offended by that but I actually feel a little better." Bayley told him.

Adam let out a small smile and got up. Bayley looked down and thought over what he said again.

"Wait.. It's me isn't it?" Bayley asked.

"What's you?"Adam asked in confusion.

"You remembered how I used to wear my hair at church.. I'm the girl you had a crush on aren't I?" Bayley asked in amusement.

Adam shocked his head in disapproval and let out an awkward laugh.

"In your dreams." Adam told her.

Bayley looked up and saw his cheeks turn red.

"You're blushing right now!" Bayley told him.

Adam let out another laugh.

"Whatever. I'm going back to the party." Adam told her.

Bayley looked back at him for a moment.

"You can't tell anyone,  Adam." Bayley told him.

"That you chose Sami Zayn for a one night stand instead of calling me up? I'm taken that shit to the grave, sweetheart." Adan told her before walking back inside.

Bayley smiled to herself, completely taken back by Adam's kindness.

As soon as Seth and Becky made it into the party, Becky got herself a drink. Seth watched as she nearly chugged down the cup of beer.

"You don't wanna slow down a little bit ?" Seth asked her.

"I thought you wanted me to have fun?" Becky asked as she grabbed another beer.

"Yeah, I'm kind of regretting that now." Seth said as he grabbed a beer and chugged one down himself.

In the living room, Brie and Roman were sitting down on the couch with Miz and Alexa when Mandy walked over.

"Truth or dare?" Mandy asked.

"Sure." Alexa said.

Miz and Roman looked at each other awkwardly, knowing that this game never needed well. Sasha returned with Nikki and they sat down with the others.

"What's going on?" Seth asked as he and Becky approached the group.

"True or dare, you guys wanna play?" Mandy asked.

Seth glanced down at Nikki and got an uneasy feeling in his stomach.

"Nah.. I think we're good." Seth said.

"We'll play." Becky said as she sat down with everyone.

Seth reluctantly sat down next to Becky.

"We'll play." Paige said as she and Renee joined them.

Everyone gathered around as Mandy started off the game.

"Miz, Truth of dare?" Mandy asked him.

"Um.. truth I guess." Miz said skeptically.

"True or fake.. You've had sex in the supply closet at school." Mandy said.

Miz accidente let out a small laugh as Alexa looked down in embarrassment.

"True." Miz said.

"Which supply closet?" Nikki asked.

"The one down the hall from Mr. Chigvinstev's room." ALexa told her.

"Oh yeah, we've done it in there." Paige told everyone.

Seth looked down awkwardly, remembering that he and Sasha has spent some time together in that same closet.

"Okay, truth or dare, Sasha?" Miz asked.

"Truth." Sasha said.

Miz hesitated to say what he wanted to say.

"Who did you cheat on me with when we were together?" Miz asked suddenly.

Everyone got real quiet as the mood changed dramatically.

"Excuse me?" Sasha asked offensively.

"I know you did it.. I just wanna know who." Miz told her.

Alexa scratches her head awkwardly as Roman and Nikki took a sip o their beers. Seth and Becky both stared down at the ground.

"Which time?" Sasha asked.

Miz looked at her in disbelief. Seth glanced over at Sasha in confusion for a moment.

"You cheated on me twice?" Miz asked her.

"I cheated on you multiple times with two different people." Sasha told him casually.

"Who?" Miz asked as he began to get a little angry.

"I promise you.. you don't wanna know." Sasha said as she got up and walked away.

Everyone sat there in silence for a moment.

"Well that was a fun game.." Seth said as he got up, hoping Becky would follow him.

"It was Seth." Roman said suddenly.

Nikki closed her eyes in disappointment as Seth stopped in his tracks. Miz looked at Roman in confusion.

"They were sneaking around behind your back." Roman said as he glanced up at Becky.

As Miz stood up to confront Seth, Becky got in his face.

"Get the fuck out of my way." Miz told her.

"Not a chance." Becky told him.

"Miz." Alexa said as she tried to pulled him away.

Miz stared Seth down with anger in his eyes.

"So that's it then.. You just sleep around with all your friends girls?" Miz asked.

Seth looked down shamefully.

"After all the times I have been defending you with Roman! I guess the jokes on me, right?" Miz asked as he stormed off.

Alexa gave Becky a dirty look before following Miz away. Roman stood up, accidentally make eye contact with Becky.

"Was that really necessary?" Becky asked him.

"Lets go, babe." Roman said as he grabbed Brie's hand and walked away.

Becky turned around to find Seth he was gone.

"Damn, you guys have all the drama, huh?" Paige asked.

No one answered her.

Outside, a group of guys had just thrown Carmella into the pool when Corey approached.

"Corey!" Carmella yelled excitement.

"Can we talk to for a minute?" He asked as she stood next to the pool.

"Sure, just help me out of here." Carmella said.

Corey crouched down and grabbed her hand. But before he knew what was happening, Carmella pulled him into the pool.

"Okay.. I should have seen that one coming." Corey laughed at himself.

"What do you want to talk about?" Carmella asked him.

"Well.. I kind of wanted to talk to you in private." Corey said as he took notice of all the people standing around the pool.

"No one is paying attention, Corey. Just say whatever it is that you were going to say." Carmella told him.

Corey looked into her eyes as his heart began to beat faster.

"Corey?" Carmella asked.

Corey suddenly leaned in and pressed his lips against hers. Carmella closed her eyes as they shared a slow passionate kiss. Carmella  pulled away for a moment and looked into Corey's eyes.

"Should I not have done that?" Corey asked.

"It took you long enough." Carmella said as she leaned in and kissed him back.

A few people cheered them on as they began to make out in the pool.

Upstairs, Seth had snuck in to an empty room to clear his head.

"Everything okay in here?" Nikki asked as she knocked on the wall.

Seth looked up at her from the bed as she walked in and shut the door behind her.

"I'm always gonna be the bad guy aren't I?" Seth asked as she sat down next to him.

Nikki looked over at him with sympathy in her eyes.

"You can't change the past, Seth. All you can you do is make the right choices now." Nikki told him.

Seth looked over at her with heavy eyes. He suddenly leaned in and kissed her on the lips. Nikki let herself fall into the kiss for a moment before forcing herself to pull away.

"Seth." Nikki said as she tried to catch her breath.

"Fuck. I really shouldn't have done that." Seth said as he rested his forehead on hers.

Nikki looked into his eyes with desperation.

"Are you kissing me right now because you want me or because you feel her slipping away so you're trying to hurt her before she hurts you?" Nikki asked him.

Seth stood up in frustration.

"Don't fucking do that shit right now, Nicole." Seth told her.

"Well.. which is it?" Nikki asked as she stood up to face him.

Seth looked down at her and thought over what she was asking.

"I honestly don't know." Seth told her.

Nikki grabbed his hand and looked up at him apologetically.

"You should go find your girlfriend, Seth." Nikki told him.

Seth looked down into her eyes and watched her for a moment.

"Why did it have to take me drowning to realize that you're my anchor?" Seth asked her with tears in his eyes.

Nikki let go of his hand and looked down shamefully.

"Go, Seth." Nikki told him.

Seth reluctantly walked out of the room. Nikki leaned against the wall and wiped the tears from her eyes.

Downstairs, Becky had stolen an entire bottle of vodka and sat on Randy's front steps.

"Becks?" Seth asked as he walked outside.

Becky looked back at him with tears in her eyes and took a big sip of her vodka. Seth let out a sigh and sat down next to her.

"You're wasted already aren't you?" Seth asked her.

Becky nodded in approval as Seth grabbed her vodka and took a big drink.

"I'm sorry about today at lunch.. You know you're not the bad guy, right?" Becky asked him.

Seth looked over at her curiously.

"Not to me, anyway." Becky slurred her words.

Seth put his arm around her and she rested her head in his shoulder.

"Mama Lynch is gonna kill me for binging you home like this again." Seth joked as he tried to fight back tears.

Becky let out a small laugh and scooted closer to him.

The next morning, Paige was waiting tablesaige t at the cafe when she saw Renee standing outside.Paige took off her apron and walked out to find Renee with tears in her eyes.

"What's going on, babe?" Paige asked her.

"We need to break up." Renee told her.

Paige froze for a moment in shock.

"What?" Paige asked cautiously.

"This is working for me anymore." Renee continued.

"No. Please don't do this." Paige begged her.

"We can still be friends but you and me.. We're done, Paige." Renee told her.

Paige's eyes now filled with tears as she tried to comprehend what Renee was saying.

"I can't lose you.. Just don't do this to me.. tell me what I have to do to fix this and I'll do it." Paige told her with a crack in her voice.

"It's too late, Paige." Renee told her.

Paige stood there with an ache in her heart as Renee hurried away.

Homecoming Night

Roman and Mandy were sitting at a table with Miz and Alexa.

"Are you sure she changed her mind?" Roman asked curiously.

"Yeah, Mandy said she didn't want I come with us." Brie told him.

Roman nodded awkwardly. Miz looked at the entrance in annoyance as Seth and Becky walked in. Nikki was standing by the punch table with Aj when she looked over at Seth.

"I know that look.." Aj said as she examined Nikki's face.

Nikki shook her head and tried to ignore Seth's presence. Adam was sitting at a table in the other side of the gym when Kyle and Bayley walked in together. Adam looked up from his table and laid eyes on Bayley. For a moment he forgot to breathe as she walked towards him with Kyle. Liv was looking at her nails when Adam stood up. Bayley and Kyle looked at him in confusion.

"What are you doing, Adam?" Kyle asked.

Bayley watched as Adam tried to bring himself back to reality.

"Are you gonna bow for us too, man?" Kyle asked him.

Bayley let out a small laugh.

"I need a drink." Adam said as he hurried away.

Kyle and Bayley shared another laugh.

"Do you think you can wait here for a minute? I've got something I have to do real quick." Kyle asked her.

"Um.. sure." Bayley said as she sat down next to Liv.

She watched in confusion as Kyle disappeared through the crowd.

"I'm out of here." Liv said as she grabbed her purse and got up.

"What? Where are you going?" Bayley asked.

"This dance is lame and my date is even lamer. I'm going anywhere but here." Liv said before walking off.

Bayley looked up as Adam returned to the table.

"Your date just ditched you." Bayley told him.

Adam looked down in embarrassment as he sat down next to Bayley.

"Whatever, her loss." Adam said.

Bayley wasn't sure why but she actually kind of felt bad for him. She suddenly stood up as the song, "Crush" by David Archeleta began to play. Adam looked up at Bayley as she offered out her hand.

"I believe were promised a dance?" Bayley asked.

Adam let out a slight smile and took her hand. Bayley lead him into the dance floor. They faced each other and Bayley awkwardly wrapped her arms around Adam's neck. Adam put his hands on her hips with caution as they began to dance.

I hung up the phone tonight
Something happened for the first time deep inside
It was a rush, what a rush

After trying to avoid eyes contact with each other, Bayley and Adam suddenly looked into each others eyes.

'Cause the possibility
That you would ever feel the same way about me
It's just too much, just too much

Adam felt a warmth in his heart as Bayley surprised herself with the flutters in her chest.

Why do I keep running from the truth?
All I ever think about is you

Adam watched Bayley's eyes for a moment and admired her beauty.

You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I've just got to know

Adam suddenly spun Bayley around.

Do you ever think when you're all alone
All that we can be, where this thing can go?

Bayley let out a playful laugh as Adam pulled her back to him.

Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real or just another crush?

Bayley's smile slowly faded as she looked into Adam's eyes again, this time feeling a deeper connection to him.

"I lied last night.. you were the girl I had a crush on." Adam told her.

"Yeah, I know." Bayley said.

Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back like the way you do?

"But it wasn't just a crush." Adam began to say.

Cause I'm trying and trying to walk away
But I know this crush ain't goin' away-ay-

Bayley looked at Adam in confusion when the music in the gym suddenly stopped. Everyone looked around as Kyle suddenly appeared in the front of the gym with his guitar.

"What's going on?" Bayley asked.

Adam watched Kyle with an unsettling feeling in his stomach as he grabbed a microphone.

"Hey everyone, how are you all doing tonight?" Kyle asked.

Everyone gave Kyle a big applause.

"I hope you guys don't mind but I have a song I want to sing for my girlfriend, Bayley." Kyle said.

Bayley froze in disbelief as someone shined a spotlight on her.

"Did he jus say-?" Bayley began to ask.

"Yep." Adam said awkwardly.

Kyle began to play a cover version of "Heart on Fire" by Johnathan Clay.

I'm falling in
I'm falling down

Bayley felt her heart grow warm as a group of girls swooned over Kyle.

I wanna begin but I don't know how
To let you know how I'm feeling

Butterflies filled Bayley's stomach as Kyle sang to her.

I'm high on hope, i'm winning

A big smile came across Bayley's face as Kyle sang the next verse.

And I won't let you go

Adam walked off through the crowd, not wanting to watch what was happening.

Now you know

Kyle began walking towards Bayley.

I've been crazy for you all this time

Everyone watched in awe as Kyle sang to Bayley's face.

I've kept it close

Bayley let out a smile of approval.

Always hoping

Kyle put down his guitar and leaned in to kiss Bayley. Everyone cheered them on as they shared a slow, passionate kiss.

Aj was looking around awkwardly at all the couples when Renee walked in to the gym by herself. Aj's eyes filled with admiration as she watched Renee. As a cover of the song, "Call Your Girlfriend" by Clara Mae began to play, Renee walked over and approached Aj.

"Dance with me?" Renee asked her.
Aj looked at the gym entrance for Paige but she was nowhere to be found.

"Where's your girlfriend?" Aj asked.

"Just dance with me, nerd." Renee told her.

Aj let out a small laugh and took Renee's hand. They made their way out to the dance floor and Aj wrapped her arms around Renee's neck.

Call your girlfriend

Renee casually slid her hands down on Aj's waist.

It's time you had the talk

"Watch it with those hands." Aj joked.

Give your reasons

Renee let out small laugh before giving Aj a serious look.

Say it's not her fault

"I broke up with Paige this morning.." Renee told her.

But you just met somebody new

Aj looked into Renee's eyes and let out a grateful smile.

Tell her not to get upset,
second-guessing everything you said and done

Aj tucked Renee's hair behind her ear when Paige suddenly walked into the gym with Dolph.

And then when she gets upset
tell her how you never mean to hurt no one

Paige watched with an ache in her heart as Aj leaned in and pressed her lips against Renee's.

Then you tell her that the only way her heart will mend
is when she learns to love again

Renee's stomach filled with butterflies as she and Aj shared a passionate kiss.

And it won't make sense right now but you're still her friend

Aj pulled away as flutters appeared in her chest.

And then you let her down easy

Renee and Aj both looked into each others eyes as their breathes grew heavy.

Call your girlfriend
It's time you had the talk

Paige's eyes filled with tears as she stared at Renee and Aj helplessly.

Give your reasons
Say it's not her fault

"Paige." Dolph tried to say.

"Don't. Just.. don't." Paige said with a crack in her voice.

But you just met somebody new

Aj suddenly spun Renee around.

Don't you tell her how I give you something
that you never even knew you missed

For the first time in a long time, Renee truly felt happy.

Don't you even try and explain
how it's so different when we kiss

Aj pulled Renee back in close to her as they came face to face once again.

And you just tell her that the only way her heart will mend

"Just in case it wasn't obvious.. I'm in love with you too, Aj. Like stupidly in love." Renee told her.

is when she learns to love again

Aj let out a small laugh and looked up at Renee for a moment.

And it won't make sense right now but you're still her friend

"Yeah.. it was totally obvious." Aj said before leaning in for another kiss.

And then you let her down easy

Paige turned and ran out of the gym in tears, not understanding what was happening.

"It's Paige, right?" Phil asked as he stopped her.

"Oh god, what are you doing here?" Paige asked as she tried to wipe the tears from her eyes.

"I'm here to make a grand gesture." Phil said as he showed Paige a bouquet of flowers.

"Brie is there having a great time with Roman so whatever you are about to do.. I promise you it's not a good idea." Paige told him.

"Look you might not understand this but I'm in love with her, okay? When you love someone like this.. it's worth fighting for." Phil told her.

"If you really believe that then you're an idiot." Paige smarted off before walking away.

In that moment, Phil was conflicted between following through with his plan to get Brie back or follow Paige.

"Why are you crying?" Phil asked as he ran after her.

"I've got about ten reasons. which one do you want first?" Paige asked him.

"I don't know.. Why don't we go get a pizza and talk about it?" Phil asked her.

Paige looked at him in surprise for a moment.

"Here. I guess these are for you now." Phil said as he handed her the flowers.

"Fine. But you're buying." Paige told him.

Phil let out a slight smile before following her to the car.

Back in the gym, Becky and Seth were sitting by themselves when Sasha walked in with Tessa.

"Is that Sasha's date?" Seth asked in confusion.

Becky looked Tessa up and down judgmentally as the rest of Sasha's friends watched in confusion.

"Do you wanna dance?" Sasha asked as she looked around nervously.

"Sorry Barbie but I don't dance." Tessa said as she grabbed Sasha's arm and pulled her in close to her.

Everyone watched in disbelief as Tessa pressed her lips against Sasha's. Becky felt an ache in her heart as she tried to look away.

"Wow. So this is just how people come out now a days?" Adam asked no one in particular.

"Wait. Sasha's-?" Seth began to ask himself.

Becky took a sip of her punch as she tried to fight back tears.

"Did you know about this?" Miz asked Alexa.

Alexa shrugged her shoulders.

"Well did you know Nikki? I mean did you know when you suggested the girls kiss yesterday?" Miz asked.

Alexa looked down uncomfortably.

"What are our talking about? That kiss was all Alexa." Nikki told him.

Miz looked down at Alexa in confusion for a moment.

When the song, "Someone You Loved" by Lewis Capaldi began to play, Seth got up and pulled Becky away.

"Seth." Becky tried to stop him.

"One dance." Seth begged as he pulled her onto the dance floor.

I'm going under and this time I fear there's no one to save me

Becky looked awkwardly over Seth's shoulder as they began to dance together.

This all or nothing really got a way of driving me crazy

Nikki and Roman both watched uncomfortably from their table as Seth spun Becky around.

I need somebody to heal
Somebody to know
Somebody to have
Somebody to hold

As Seth pulled Becky back to him, Dean suddenly appeared in the doorway.

It's easy to say
But it's never the same

Dean watched with an ache in his chest as Becky danced with Seth.

I guess I kinda liked the way you numbed all the pain

Roman glanced over and saw Dean standing there.

Now the day bleeds
Into nightfall

Becky smiled up at Seth with an unsettling feeling in her stomach.

And you're not here
To get me through it all

Dean's eyes filled with tears as he forced himself to watch them together.

I let my guard down
And then you pulled the rug

When the smile on Seth's face faded, Becky turned around to see what had caught his attention.

I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved

Seth looked down uncomfortably when Becky saw Dean.

"Becks." Seth said as he tried to stop her.

"Don't!" Becky yelled at Seth as Dean left.

Everyone watched as Becky ran outside after Dean.

"Dean!" Becky yelled as she followed him out to the parking lot.

Dean stopped in his tracks but kept his back turned.

"Nothing to talk about?" Beky asked suddenly.

Dean looked down at the ground and listened to her.

"How could you say that we have nothing to talk about? We have everything to talk about!" Becky yelled at him as tears filled her eyes.

Dean stood there with his back turned to her for a moment.

"How could you just leave me?" BEcky asked.

Dean still wasn't responding to her.

Becky stared at the back of Dean furiously.

"I guess the apple doesn't fall to far from the tree does it, Dean?" Becky asked suddenly.

Dean suddenly turned around to face her.

"Please tell me you didn't just say that." Dean said seriously.

When Becky saw the disappointment in Dean's eyes she immediately regretted what she said.

"I didn't teman-." Becky tried to explain.

"I found his t-shirt on your bed." Dean interrupted her.

"What?" Becky asked in confusion.

"The night I left.. I found his t-shirt on your bed." Dean told her again.

Becky furrowed her eyes in confusion for a moment.

"That's why you left?" Becky asked shamefully.

"You're damn right that's why I left." Dean told her.

"So instead of talking to me like an actual person you just decided to run away?" Becky asked.

"You of all people have no right to lecture me about not talking to you about things. I mean how mandy secrets have you kept from me?" Dean asked her.

Becky stopped for a moment and looked up at him.

"I mean first it was Roman.. Then Seth and now Sasha.. I mean I thought we were friends, Becks?" Dean asked her.

"Sasha?" Becky asked in confusion.

"She came to see me a few days ago. Said something about you needing me." Dean told her.

Becky looked down furiously.

"But I think I got that from the hundred texts you sent me." Dean said.

"I did need you, Dean.. but you weren't here.. You said you would always be here for me." Becky told him with tears in her eyes.

"How long were you sneaking around with him, huh?" Dean asked suddenly.

"Dean." Becky tried to stop him.

"Were you just playing me the whole time? Were we even friends?" Dean asked her.

"Of course we were friends, Dean! How could you even ask me that?" Becky asked.

"Because the girl I met this summer would never be with someone like him.. Not in a million years." Dean told her.

"He's different with me." Becky tried to explain.

"Oh come on, don't give me that crap. I've been in town for two weeks and even I can see that he's the same guy he was before." Dean told her.

"I'm in love with him." Becky said as a tear fell from her eye.

Dean felt a sharp pain in his chest.

"Are you though?" Dean asked her.

Becky looked up at him in confusion.

"I mean you have to see what you're doing here.." Dean told her.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Becky tried to say.

"Sasha broke your fucking heart, Becks. She ruined you." Dean told her.

"Wow, she must have told you a lot.."
Becky said under her breath.

"That's when you decided to shut people out. That when you started building a damn fortress around your heart. So when Roman happened.. you kept him at a distance. You let him in enough to feel something but you didn't completely let him in. And that little bit that you let him in was because you knew it wasn't you going to work out. Deep down, you knew the moment you guys got back to town that things were going to go south." Dean began to tell her.

Becky shook her head in disapproval.

"That's why you cheated on him a few times with Sasha, right? Because the thought of you guys actually lasting scared you to death?" Dean asked.

"Please stop talking." Becky begged him.

"And at some point you actually started to have hope again. You actually thought Roman might be the one.. then he cheated on you and everything you were afraid of happened.. You got hurt again." Dean to her.

Tears were now streaming down Becky's face as she listened to Dean.

"Then when I came to down you were careful weren't you? You tried to keep me on a leash and not let me get too close but it didn't work did it? You accidentally let me in. And that's when this whole thing with Rollins started isn't it? When you realized you had a little crush on me you wanted to find away to ruin it." Dean continued.

"I never had a crush.. I don't know what you're talking about." Becky tried to deny what he was saying.

"But what I can't figure out is how the hell you let someone like him in. I mean I get that you have a big heart but Seth? Really?" Dean asked.

Becky looked up at Dean helplessly.

"I don't understand you being with him and to be honest just thinking about it makes me sick to my stomach. But I think you were running from your feelings for me and some how that lead you to asshole Rollins in there. Now you guys are together but you know deep down that it isn't going to last. That's why you're with him.." Dean told her.

"What are you talking about?" Becky asked in confusion.

"You're still afraid! Don't you get that?" Dean asked her.

Becky tried to think over what he was telling her.

"You're scared to death of having an actual relationship! You are terrified of just being happy and not having all of these obstacles to overcome. You're afraid of being loved.. unconditionally." Dean told her.

Becky froze for a moment in disbelief at what Dean was telling her.

"You don't want your happy ever after or a romantic love story. You want temporary love.. you want love that you know isn't gonna last.. Because forever scares the hell out of you." Dean told her.

"Why are you telling me this?"Becky asked him.

"Because I'm in love with you!" Dean yelled in frustration.

Becky felt a sharp pain in her chest as she stared at him helplessly.

"No. You're just saying that." Becky tried to explain.

Dean walked towards her and grabbed her hand. Becky felt a rush of passion come over her as Dean placed her hand in his heart.

"Do you feel that?" Dean asked her.

Becky looked into Dean's eyes as she felt his heart beat fast.

"No ones heart beats like that for just another friend." Dean told her.

"No. Stop talking." Becky said as she tried to back away.

"Tell me you don't feel the same. And don't forget I know when you're lying." Dean said.

"I'm in love with him." Becky said suddenly.

"No you're not." Dean told her.

Becky looked up into his eyes as he hovered over her.

"Tell me you don't want to kiss me right now." Dean said suddenly.

Becky looked down at his lips with an uneasiness in her stomach.

"Go to hell, Dean." Becky told him.

Dean watched in disbelief as Becky backed away from him again. They both stared at each other for a moment as distance grew between them.

"This is the part where you push me away, right?" Dean asked as Becky began to walk away.

Becky stopped for a minute and tried to focus on her breathing. Dean watched with an ache in his chest as Becky walked away from him.

Inside, Nikki had snuck off down the hallway. She walked into Artem's room when he was waiting for her.

"You look.. amazing." Artem told her.

Nikki looked at him from across the room for a moment. Suddenly, she walked towards him and pressed her lips against his. Nikki grabbed his face as they shared a slow, passionate kiss. Artem suddenly pulled away.

"Nicole." Artem tried to say.

"I'm so sorry, I know that was really inappropriate and I-." Nikki began to say before Artem kissed her back.

In the hallway, Seth was passing by the room when he saw Nikki with Artem. For a minute he couldn't believe what he was seeing. But when Nikki's foot came off the ground like in one of those cheesy romance movies he felt a rush of jealousy come over him.

In the gym, Brie was still sitting with Roman when she got a text.

"Did you get the check I sent you?"
     -Andrade

"You still owe me two 250k or I talk."
     -Brie

When Becky returned to the dance, Seth was just making his way make into the gym. When Becky approached him she didn't even notice all the color was drained from his face.

"Did you guys talk things over? Is everything good now?" Seth asked uncomfortably.

Becky threw herself in Seth's arms and broke out in tears.

"I wish he had never came back to town." Becky told him.

Seth was still in a bit of shock at what he had just seen but even he was confused at why Becky had a sudden change of heart.

"I hate him." Becky said as she cried on his shoulder.

Seth reluctantly wrapped his arms around Becky and comforted her with his embarace.

Suddenly, two police officers made their way into the gym.

"Seth Rollins?" One of the men asked.

"Yeah, that's me." Seth told them.

"There was an accident outside of town. You should come with us to the hospital." An Officer told him.

"An accident?" Seth asked.

"It's your father. He's in critical condition." An officer told him.

Seth looked at Becky with concern.

At the diner, Paige and Phil were just finishing their pizza when Paige began to get nauseous.

"Excuse me for a minute." Paige said as she hurried away.

When Paige got to the bathroom she vomited in the toilet. She wiped her mouth and looked at herself in the mirror, suddenly noticing that her breasts looked a little larger. She looked down at the date in her phone and realized her period was late.

"Fuck." Paige said to herself in disbelief.

Later that night outside of town, Dean pulled up to the lake to meet a familiar face.

"I almost didn't think you were in a show." Joe said as his boys, Santana and Ortiz walked up behind Dean.

"Here's fifteen hundred. I'll get the the rest soon." Dean said as he handed Joe a paper bag full of cash.

Joe handed the bag to Santana to count.

"Since it's taken you so long to make your payment you now owe me another grand. That's twenty five hundred by next month or your I'm coming for your girl." Joe told him.

Dean looked at Joe furiously.

"As long as I'm back in town you ain't laying a goddamn finger on her! You understand?" Dean asked.

Joe laughed at Dean's protectiveness if Becky. Ortiz punched Dean in the gut for his remarks.

"I accept a payment in two weeks, Ambrose." Joe said as he got back in his car with Santana and Ortiz.

Dean laúd in the ground for a moment and tried to catch his breath as Joe drove off. He looked down at his stomach and saw that Ortiz had reopened his wound from yesterday.

"Damn it!" Dean let out
In frustration.
