It was supposed to be their wedding anniversary.
It was a big deal. Every year Christina tried to make a big showy spectacle of it even though Seleana would have been happy just having dinner at home.
Not this year.
This year, Seleana had been home alone with the kids. Christina had been off making "appearances" with Mercedes Vargas and Alexandra had stormed out to look for her.
Seleana just sat with the children watching them play and pretending she didn't really want to scream her head off. Now she'd come back to where she and Alexandra had enjoyed dinner before she'd gone off looking for Christina to demand to know what the fuck she was doing.
Now it was just Seleana and the cake she had made herself to celebrate.
Seleana looks down at the slice of cake in front of her with the number seven candle on it. She lights the candle and nods while trying to hold back tears.
Seleana Zdunich: Grattis på årsdagen till mig.
She blows out the candle and nods as tears start to fall.
Seleana Zdunich: Jag älskar dig Stjärna.
She looks down, unable to stop herself from sobbing uncontrollably anymore.
Seleana Zdunich: Jag saknar dig.
She looks down and loses herself in her tears. As she starts to lose it funny, her phone rings. She picks it up and sees the name of her sister-in-law, Olive "Krigare" Zdunich. Nodding, she tries to pull herself together and paints on a smile.
Seleana Zdunich: Heya, Chickie, how's it?
Hearing the real emotion through the facade, Olive is taken aback.
Olive Zdunich: Sel, what's wrong? You sound like you've been sobbing hysterically.
Seleana bows her head, holding the phone as close as she can.
Seleana Zdunich: Idag är det vår bröllopsdag och Christina har inte kommit hem än. Alex gick bara ilsket för att leta efter henne.
Olive pauses for a second, tamping down her personal rage at this news. Olive had never really liked Christina and this was doing nothing to improve her opinion.
Olive Zdunich: Good on Alex.
She pauses again while Seleana tries not to just collapse back into tears.
Olive Zdunich: You're not gonna let this slide are you? I know the Zdunich sisters are forgiving to a fault BUT...
She pauses to take a deep breath.
Olive Zdunich: If you were to let this slide, I will fly down to SoCal personally, slap you silly to wake you up, then go hunting for Chrystalina and murder the bitch in cold blood myself!
Seleana shakes her head.
Seleana Zdunich: I do not know what is happening. I am afraid she has fallen off the wagon on coke and drink and possibly cheating with Mercedes Vargas. Alex is looking but I do not know where she is supposed to be tonight.
She shakes her head again as the tears return.
Seleana Zdunich: I just wanted to have dinner. I make cake.
Seleana dissolves into sobs again.
Seleana Zdunich: What I do wrong?
The sobs come heavier and Olive's entire countenance changes.
Olive Zdunich: Sel, you did nothing wrong. Christina is just bound and determined, as always, to make everything about her.
Seleana just sits there sobbing.
Seleana Zdunich: Why she no come home? It anniversary and Friday the 13th. She love Friday 13th.
Olive sighs.
Olive Zdunich: There's no telling which brainie weasel is running things for her now but whichever one it is, it's not you. It's never been you, Sarabi. It's always her, it's always about her and it always will be if she doesn't change things.
She pauses, thinking things over again.
Olive Zdunich: And if your fears are founded, you can't fix her, Sel. She has to want to and if she doesn't there's nothing you can do but wait for that phone call.
Seleana shakes her head, trying to pull herself together to say something, anything to her sister-in-law.
Seleana Zdunich: I…Jag…
She tries toi stifle herself but she can't.
Seleana Zdunich: Jag svikit henne.
Olive audibly sits bolt upright at these words.
Olive Zdunich: You did not fail her, you did not let her down or any other permutation of that phrase. You've been a fucking saint to last as long as you have and this…
She motions at the phone knowing no one else can see it.
Olive Zdunich: This right here is why so many started using that hashtag against Crystalina so much.And do you know why it bothered her so much?
Seleana blinks through her tears.
Seleana Zdunich: No.
Olive Zdunich: Because she knows its true and it drives her fucking nuts!
Olive's voice gains in both anger and intensity.
Olive Zdunich: She knows!
The anger turns cold.
Olive Zdunich: She knows she's doing wrong and it feeds on herself. The more she does wrong, the more she needs to medicate. The more she medicates, the more wrong she does and the worse it gets. It's her vicious cycle that she kickstarts and rides and the way she's going, she's gonna ride that cycle until it breaks and the crash will not be pretty.
She exhales heavily, her tone softening.
Olive Zdunich: You need to prepare yourself, Sel.
Seleana looks at her phone, worry mixing in with confusion and everything else.
Olive Zdunich: You need to prepare yourself that you might just need to run or to get that call that there is nothing to worry about anymore because the worst has already happened.
Her voice softens even more.
Olive Zdunich: You need to prepare yourself for either because no matter what, you're gonna be the one who has to tell Brit, Bray, Rori and E.
Seleana shakes her head as she starts sobbing again with this new melancholy crashing into her existing despair. Seleana lets out a long, high-pitched wail and almost drops her phone just as Aledxandra comes back into the room. Alex rushes over and takes the Swedish woman into her arms, gently slipping the phone from her hand.
Olive Zdunich: Sarabi?
Alexandra nods, lifting the phone up to her face.
Alexandra "Diamond" Caldwell: I've got her.
Olive sighs, seemingly relieved.
Olive Zdunich: Thank God. I'm sorry this happened.
Alexandra nods sadly.
Alexandra "Diamond" Caldwell: Me too.
She ends the call, sets the phone down and envelopes Seleana in an embrace to let the Swedish woman cry her eyes out.
Alexandra "Diamond" Caldwell: It's ok, I got you.

The camera opens on Seleana Zdunich sitting on the bed in the room she's sharing with her second wife and soon-to-be-tag-team-partner Alexandra "Diamond" Caldwell, looking like she's almost rather be anywhere else but here right now.
Seleana Zdunich: So, here we are.
She looks around the room and nods.
Seleana Zdunich: Denver, Colorado.
She nods to the floor, visibly unhappy.
Seleana Zdunich: I cannot remember the last time I saw my wife.
She shakes her head, both in despair at the truth of that statement and the fact that she just said out loud to be heard by the general public.
Seleana Zdunich: Alex and I will be a team for the second time in the upcoming match here against Kayla Richards and her soon to be challenger, Frankie Holliday.
She smiles wryly to herself.
Seleana Zdunich: It is a match we will be underestimated and sold short in, ja?
Nodding affirmatively as if she knows the answer that will greet her on this, Seleana looks away for a second before looking back into the camera.
Seleana Zdunich: I know.
She nods pointedly
Seleana Zdunich: Ja, I know, this is Kayla so we have no chance because I am me and she is the Dream Killer, Ja?
Seleana shrugs.
Seleana Zdunich: I have heard this near every match I have ever had, so often that you are boring saying it again.
She shrugs as if it's nothing new at all.
Seleana Zdunich: I am certain Alex has heard this as well and I am certain you have said this and will say it many times to Frankie.
She manages a smile.
Seleana Zdunich: But as pointed out early here, we know each other while you are at cross purposes. I know Alex!
She nods pointely.
Seleana Zdunich: I know you, Alex. Who Dat Girl? Diamond Dat Girl!
Seleana nods as if Alexandra can hear her and is the only other person in the room.
Seleana Zdunich: You dat girl. You have been since before I met you and you will after we are all gone.
She almost spits in disgust.
Seleana Zdunich: Kayla can say whatever she wants. I know how she operate. I saw her before she came to SCW. She saw me get fired in Hybrid. I know she operates on lower level and play dirty.
Seleana glares into the camera.
Seleana Zdunich: We are coming to show you that I am the Cat and Diamond is Dat Girl whether you like or not, Kayla.
She nods to the camera emphatically.
Seleana Zdunich: And you better be ready to work with Frankie or you will have a problem you never expected.
Seleana shrugs almost playfully.
Seleana Zdunich: You will lose to the one person you always thought beneath you and completely incapable of such things.
She points to herself in the chest.
Seleana Zdunich: You. the Dreamkiller Kayla Richards, the SCW World Bombshell Champion, will have lost to me because you were arrogant and stupid about things in this match.
Shaking her head, Seleana almost laughs.
Seleana Zdunich: How sad would that be for you?
