Tuesday morning, before school Bayley and Sasha made a pit stop at the police station.

"Bayley I really don't see why you have to do this." Sasha said.

"It will just take a minute, I just want to make sure everything is okay." Bayley said.

"I'm going to wait in the car." Sasha said.

"Okay, I'll be right back." Bayley said.

She got out of the car and walked into the police station.

"Sheriff Rose?" Bayley asked as she approached the front desk.

"Bayley! She is right in here." Sheriff Rose said.

Bayley followed him down a hall and into an interrogation room.

"Rosie?" Bayley asked.

"I was surprised to get your call. How did you say you knew Captain McMahon?" Sheriff Rose asked.

"Um.. she was an old family friend." Bayley said as she looked down at Rosie.

"What's going to happen to her?" Bayley asked.

"Her father died of brain cancer a few years back and the only living relative is her Uncle Shane.

"An uncle.." Bayley said.

"Yep. It's unfortunate but that's how it is." He said.

Bayley knelt down and smiled at Rosie.

"Hi Rosie. Do you remember me?" Bayley asked.

Rosie nodded her head slowly.

"How are you doing?" Bayley asked.

"Hungry." Rosie said.

Bayley looked up at Sheriff Rose.

"Has she eaten since she's been here?" Bayley asked.

"She has some chips from the vending machine when she first got here." He said.

"You mean last night? Can I take her for breakfast?" Bayley asked.

"She has to stay here." Sheriff Rose said.

"I'm just going to take her to Joe's, it's right across the street." Bayley said.

"Have back within the hour." Sheriff Rose told her.

Bayley looked down as she felt something grab her hand.

"Rosie, are you ready to go?" Bayley laughed.

Rosie smiled as she walked alongside Bayley. Sasha watched as Bayley left the police station with a little girl holding her hand.

"Oh hell no." Sasha said.

Bayley smiled as she got out of the car.

"I'm just taking her for breakfast real quick." Bayley said.

"We have to get to school." Sasha said.

"You can if you want, but I want to make sure she em gets something to eat." Bayley said.

Sasha sighed and reluctantly followed Bayley across the street. They got inside and ordered Rosie blueberry pancakes and an orange juice. Sasha watched from across the table as Bayley    talked with Rosie.

"You're really good with kids." Sasha said with a smile on her face.

"You think so?" Bayley asked.

"You're a natural." Sasha laughed.

After they finished their breakfast they were interrupted by a strange man.

"Can we help you?" Sasha asked.

"Yeah, I'm Shane. McMahon." He said.

Bayley looked down at Rosie in disappointment.

"You're the uncle?" Bayley asked.

"If you don't mind, I'd like to take my niece now." Shane said.

Bayley got up and waited for Rosie to get up but she didn't.

"Rosie, you have to go with your uncle now." Bayley said.

Sasha watched as Rosie hugged Bayley goodbye.

"Bye Bawee." Rosie said.

Shane grabbed Rosie's hand and led her away. Sasha got up and held Bayley's hand as they watched Shane put Rosie in his car and drive away.

"You okay, babe?" Sasha asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Bayley said.

Upstairs, Dean walked into the kitchen without a shirt on. Seth watched as he poured himself a cup of coffee.

"You checking me out man?" Dean joked."

"No." Seth snapped back.

Dean leaned against the counter and laughed. Seth walked closer to Dean so they were face to face.

"I never bought that whole story about you falling." Seth said as he observed Dean's abdomen.

"I don't know what you are talking about." Dean said.

"How did you really get that scar?" Seth asked.

"I promise I'll tell you when I'm ready." Dean said.

Seth looked into Dean's eyes and slowly traced his hand over the scar. Dean looked down at Seth's hand as his heart began to pound faster. He and Seth looked up slowly into each other's eyes just as Aj walked in.

"Okay, I brought bagels and donuts!" Aj announced as she sat a paper bag down on the counter.

Seth immediately backed away from Dean. Aj wrapped her arms around Seth and greeted him with a kiss. Dean watched as Seth grabbed her waist.

"I have to go." Dean said.

Seth and Aj looked at Dean in confusion as he left the loft without a shirt on.

"Well then, looks like we have the place to ourselves." Aj said.

"Um.. I actually thought we could go see Roman." Seth said.

"Fine." Aj said as she let out a sigh.

When Seth and Aj got to Roman's house he was in the back yard shooting hoops.

"What are you two doing here?" Roman asked as he tried to catch his breath.

"Just thought I'd come by and hang out a little bit." Seth said.

"It's been awhile since we've just hung out." Roman said.

"Look, I'm sorry man." Seth said.

"It's okay, I get it." Roman said as he glanced over at Aj.

Roman tossed Seth the ball and laughed. Aj sat down on a mini section of bleachers that were set up at the end of the court. Seth and Roman began shooting hoops as the sun beamed down into the yard.

After about an hour of playing hoops, Seth and Roman took a break and went inside to grab some beers.

"What's Ambrose up to today?" Roman asked.

"Uh. I'm not sure." Seth said.

"Is everything cool between you guys?" Roman asked.

"Why wouldn't it be?" Seth asked as he took a sip of his beer.

"I don't know.. you just got all weird when I asked about him, that's all." Roman said.

"I didn't get weird." Seth assured Roman.

"Whatever man." Roman laughed and walked back outside.

That day after school Finn went to Alexa's house to work on their project.

"This place is huge, what did you say your parents did?" Finn asked.

"I didn't." Alexa said as they sat down at the dining table.

"Okay.. so these essay's.. We just write about each other?" Finn asked.

"Yep." Alexa said.

"Well the only thing I know about you is that you have slept with all of my friends.." Finn said.

"Excuse me?" Alexa asked.

"Dean, Seth, Becky, Sasha, Bayley.. I don't think you've slept with Roman, have you?" Finn asked.

"Are you calling me a slut?" Alexa asked.

"What? No, of course not." Finn said.

"Seth and I were in a relationship and I had feelings for Dean.. Bayley willing participated in that threesome, and Becky and I just kind of happened. As for Sasha.. she's just really good in bed." Alexa said.

"I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to insult you." Finn said.

"Yes you did, Finn. Don't try to play dumb with me, I know what you and your friends think of me." Alexa said.

"You do?" Finn asked.

"Yeah.. I'm the girl that came between two friends. Everything that happened between Dean, Seth and I was all my fault. And I was playing games with Bayley, right? Then there is Becky and I know you all think it was my fault that Becky cheated on Sasha." Alexa said.

"You care a lot about what people think." Finn said.

"What?" Alexa asked.

"You shouldn't care so much about what other people think of you." Finn said.

"That's easy for you to say, you have friends." Alexa said.

"Come on, you have friends." Finn said.

"I had one friend, Carmella. And she barely even talks to me because she's with Nikki." Alexa said.

"Maybe you shouldn't have hooked up with your best friend." Finn said.

Alexa stared at Finn for what seemed like forever.

"You're an ass." Alexa said.

"Let's just try to talk about something else.. what do your parents do?" Finn asked.

"Maybe you should go." Alexa said.

"What?" Finn asked.

"This isn't going to work. I'll ask for a new partner tomorrow." Alexa said as she got up and opened the front door for Finn.

"Alexa." Finn said as he walked towards the door.

"Just go." Alexa said.

She slammed the door shut behind Finn as he left the house in confusion.

At the school, Sasha was working on the school newspaper when someone approached her desk.

"I haven't seen you around in awhile." Carmella said.

"Carmella." Sasha said as she looked up at her.

"Look, I get it.. you don't want to talk to me but I just wanted to thank you for being there for Nikki a few weeks ago." Carmella said.

"What do you mean?" Sasha asked.

"We were going through a rough patch and you were there for her." Carmella said.

"Right." Sasha said.

Carmella watched as Sasha tried to get back to her work.

"I hear you finally got the girl." Carmella said.

"If you're referring to Bayley, then yes, I did get the girl." Sasha said.

"Well congratulations.. I hope it lasts." Carmella said as she began to walk away.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Sasha asked.

Carmella stopped in the doorway and looked back at Sasha.

"It means that she never saw you, Sasha. All those years of pining after her and now she finally wants to be with you?" Carmella said.

"What are you getting at, Mella?" Sasha asked.

"I should get going but good luck with Bayley." Carmella said.

Sasha watched in confusion as Carmella walked away.

Outside on the football field, Bayley was sitting on the bleachers waiting for Sasha. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Dean walking up to the field. The minute he saw her sitting there he turned around to leave.

"Dean!" Bayley yelled.

He stopped and let out a sigh.

"I didn't realize you were going to be here." Dean said.

"Are you avoiding me?" Bayley asked.

"What? No, I just.. I don't know." Dean said as he walked up the bleachers.

"I haven't seen much of you since you have been back." Bayley said.

"Yeah.. I know." Dean said.

"What going on with you? Is everything okay?" Bayley asked.

Dean looked at her in disbelief. He looked into her eyes and knew that now wasn't the time or place for him to get mad.

"I'm fine." Dean said.

"How do you like it at Seth's place?" Bayley asked.

"It's better than sleeping in my car." Dean said.

"You know sometimes I wish we could just rewind everything back to when you were staying at my house. I miss those dinner's with Rosa.. and our movie nights.." Bayley said.

"I should go." Dean said as he got up and looked down at Bayley.

"What? But Dean-." Bayley began to say as he rushed down the bleachers.

Bayley sat there, wondering what is was that she said wrong.

"Ready babe?" Sasha asked as she walked onto the field.

"Yeah." Bayley said as she walked down the bleachers and greeted Sasha with a kiss.

"Was that Dean I saw?" Sasha asked.

"Yeah, he was acting kind of weird." Bayley said as they walked to Sasha's car.

That evening everyone met up at Joe's for pizza.

"How did your thing with Alexa go?" Mike asked.

"It was horrible." Finn said.

"You should just ask for a new partner, there really isn't a point in trying with her." Seth said.

"She asking for a new partner tomorrow." Finn said.

"I always hated those projects." Roman said.

"Do any of you know who Alexa's parents are or what they do for a living?" Finn asked.

"Nope." Seth said.

"She and I never really talked to each other much if you know what I mean." Sasha joked.

Bayley laughed at Sasha and nudged her on the shoulder.

"She lives in this big house and got all weird when I brought up her parents." Finn said.

"That sounds familiar." Sasha said as she looked over at Bayley.

"Don't go there. If she was hiding something I think we would have figured that out by now." Seth said.

"Where's Dean?" Aj asked.

"How should I know?" Seth snapped back at her

Aj was taken back by Seth's comment.

"Sorry, I was just asking." Aj said.

"So have you guys heard anything about Stephanie McMahon?" Mike asked.

"Bayley and I had breakfast with Rosie." Sasha said.

"What?" Seth asked.

"I was just looking out for her, that's all." Bayley said.

"It's not your place to look out for her Bayley. What are you going to do if she starts talking about that day you and Aj picked her up from school?" Seth asked.

"She won't." Bayley said as Seth's phone rang.

Aj watched as he got up and took the phone call.

"What's his deal?" Mike asked.

"I don't know, he was fine earlier." Roman said.

Everyone got quiet as Seth walked back to the table and grabbed his jacket.

"We're leaving already?" Aj asked.

"I am. Can someone give Aj a ride home?" Seth asked.

"I guess I can." Roman said.

"Where are you going?" Aj asked.

"I just have to deal with something." Seth said before walking out of the cafe.

Aj watched as he got on his bike and drove off.

"That was weird, right?" Roman asked.

Seth drove across town and pulled into the parking lot of an old movie theater. He parked his bike next to Dean's car and walked towards the theater. Seth cautiously climbed up the ladder to find Dean sitting on the roof of the theater with a bottle of vodka. The song "Don't You (Forget About Me)" was playing on an old radio.

"What are you doing, man?" Seth asked.

"You know when I gave her the ring she said she was never going to take it off because she wanted everyone to know that I was hers." Dean said with a crack in his voice.

"You're drunk." Seth said.

"She's not mine anymore." Dean said.

Seth sighed and sat down next to Dean.

"What are you doing? I thought you were over all of this." Seth said.

"Sober me is over this.. or at least he can pretend to be." Dean said.

"This is all fucked up." Seth said.

"I left and she didn't even care. I waited for a call.. anything. She didn't want me anymore." Dean said.

Seth looked at Dean, wanting to tell him the truth about what happened to Bayley when he left.

"You're right. She doesn't want you anymore. You're holding on to something that doesn't even exist anymore." Seth said.

Dean's heart sunk into his chest as a tear fell from his eye.

"I should have never came back here." Dean said.

"You can't leave." Seth said.

"No one wants me here! When Roman finds out about me and Mandy.." Dean began to say.

"I want you here." Seth said.

Dean smiled softly and leaned his head on Seth's shoulder.

Roman pulled into Bayley's grandparents driveway and parked his Jeep.

"Thanks for the ride, Roman." Aj said as she unbuckled her seatbelt.

"Hey, are you okay? I know Seth's been acting kind of weird these past few days." Roman said.

"I'm fine.. but thanks for asking." Aj said as she smiled at him.

"If you ever need to talk you know I'm here right?" Roman asked.

"I know." Aj said as she got out of the Jeep.

Roman watched as she leaned back in the car through the window.

"And by the way.. if Seth is cheating on me or some shit I'll cut his dick off." Aj said.

"Oh, okay then." Roman laughed.

"That means if you know that he's sleeping around on me and you don't say anything.." Aj began to say.

"Oh. I didn't realize I would be guilty by association." Roman joked.

"You and I are friends now Roman.. that means you have to have my back." Aj said.

"Yeah.. anything to keep my dick attached." Roman joked again.

Aj looked at him and laughed. Roman let out a sigh as she walked into the house.

"Friends." Roman said to himself.

That night Bayley was laying in bed when she saw the shadow of someone walk into her room. She sat up in bed as the person turned on her bedroom light.

"Becky?" Bayley asked.

She shut the door behind her as she walked into the room.

"You need training." Becky said.

"You broke into my grandparents house to tell me that?" Bayley asked as Becky sat down on her bed.

"And I wanted to see you." Becky said with a smile on her face.

"I shouldn't have kissed you the other day." Bayley said.

"I know." Becky said.

"You've been gone for nearly a year and you just suddenly decide to come back?" Bayley asked.

"You know that I'm only here for business." Becky said.

"I doubt that." Bayley said.

"I see you have been doing better since Dean came back." Becky said.

"Wait.. Have you been watching me this whole time?" Bayley asked.

"I've had people keeping an eye on you." Becky said.

"I was going through hell and you just stayed away? How cold hearted do you have to be to-." Bayley began to say.

"It wasn't me that you needed." Becky said.

"What do you mean?" Bayley asked.

"It was Dean, it was always him." Becky said.

"You're not allowed to talk to me about this. Not now, not ever." Bayley said.

"Fine. I'll be waiting in the woods for you tomorrow morning. 5 am." Becky said as she got up and walked out the door.

The next morning, Bayley went for her morning run and met Becky where she asked.

"Just so you know, I'm here for me, not for you." Bayley said.

"Good for you then. Now let's get started." Becky said as she walked closer to Bayley.

"I don't really know what I'm doing." Bayley said.

"Punch me." Becky said.

"What? No." Bayley said.

"Come on, just punch me. I know you want to." Becky said.

Bayley went to punch Becky but she ducked. She laughed as Bayley tried to punch her again but missed.

"Come on, you can do better than that." Becky said.

Bayley started to get angry and finally threw a punch that connected. She watched as Becky checked her nose for blood.

"Not bad." Becky said as she smiled back at Bayley.

At Seth's loft, Dean woke up on the couch with a sour neck.

"Morning." Seth said as he handed him a cup of coffee.

"Shit..My head is killing me." Dean said.

"You were pretty fucked up when I found you last night." Seth said.

"Yeah, sorry about that. I shouldn't have called you." Dean said.

"No, you did the right thing calling me." Seth said as he put his hand on Dean's leg.

"I should get in the shower.." Dean said as he got up and walked to the bathroom.

That morning Bayley and Sasha walked into school together with Finn and Mike. After getting her things from her locker Bayley kissed Sasha goodbye and she made her way down the hallway to first period. Suddenly, someone fired a gunshot. Everyone froze for a moment then started running through the halls. Sasha's first instinct was to find Bayley but someone grabbed her by the arm and pulled her into the school's newspaper room.

"Let go of me!" Sasha yelled.

"Shut the hell up or you're going to get us both killed!" Carmella yelled as she locked the door and pulled Sasha underneath a desk with her.
