Liv woke up and saw me still sitting in the same spot I was in last night.

Liv: Did you fall asleep?

Oliver: Nope, I just sat here all night.

Liv: Why did you just sit there all night?

Oliver: I didn't want to move and wake you up.

Liv: How are you holding up?

Oliver: As good as I'll ever be.

She sits up and hugs me.

Liv: Oliver I can't imagine the pain you're in right now. I just want you to know that I'm here for you.

Oliver: Thanks babe, it feels like a bad dream. 

Liv: We'll get through this Oliver, I promise.

Oliver: I know, I'm glad that I have you by my side I don't think I could do this by myself.

Liv: I'm not going anywhere babe don't worry. I'm going to be by your side through everything we'll get through this together.

Oliver: Thank you Gionna. You being here with me right now means more to me than you could ever imagine. I'm going to shower I'll be back down in a few minutes.

After I got out of the shower I got dressed and went to go back downstairs, on my way down I stopped by Emma's room. I walked in and just stood there for a moment and then I went and sat down on her bed and I picked up the picture she had of the two of us sitting on her table by her bed. I looked at the picture and my eyes started to tear up and now I'm crying. Liv walks in and sits down next to me and starts rubbing my back.

Liv: What do you have there?

Oliver: It's the picture we took together that night I brought her to the live event.

Liv: I love that picture; you could see how happy she is.

Oliver: I know, I miss her so much already.

Liv: Do you want to get something to eat?

Oliver: I'm not hungry but if you are I'll go with you and try to eat.

Liv: Come on let's go, maybe the fresh air will help you out.

Oliver: Can we go home after we eat?

Liv: If that's what you want babe.

Oliver: Yeah, I'd rather be at my own house right now.

Before Liv and I left I said goodbye to Brittany and Steven. I thanked them for being there for me and for letting us spend the night with them. Liv and I went to get some food then we went back home.

*Later that night*

We've been in Orlando for a few hours. I'm still out of it I've just been sitting outside with Liv. I really haven't said much but Liv has been by my side the entire time. Finally, she breaks the silence

Liv: Babe, I'm going to go to sleep I'm tired.

Oliver: I'll be there in a little bit.

Liv hugs and kisses me goodnight then she walks into the house to go to bed.

*A few hours later*

I've been sitting outside for about 2 hours after Liv went inside. I pulled out my phone and tweeted the last picture I took with Emma.

"@oliverpiercewwe: (Picture of me and Emma with tag titles) Last night my beautiful daughter Emma was taken away from me. Words can't express how hurt I am right now. My daughter was my everything. I'll continue to make you proud Emma, keep watching down on me and keep me safe. I love you baby girl."

Minutes after I sent out the tweet, I got responses from fans, and friends from WWE

@sonyadevillewwe: I still can't believe it. She meant the world to both of us. Aunt Daria will always love you Emma. RIP beautiful girl.

@zryder85: Keep your head up bro. Emma was an amazing kid I'm going to miss her.

After I read the tweet from Liv I looked over and saw her standing in the doorway.

Liv: Babe, it's 2 am you need to get some rest.

Oliver: I'm not tired though.

Liv: You really need to sleep babe you're going to burn yourself out.

Oliver: I can't. I'm in too much pain.

Liv: Well then just lay down and we'll talk.

Oliver: Fine.

I laid down and Liv laid her head on my chest and put her arm around me. I put my arm around her and held her for a while.

Liv: Oliver, she may not be here physically, but she'll always be with you in your heart.

Oliver: I know, I just don't think I'll ever get over it. I can't keep fighting this pain.

Liv: You're not doing this alone babe.

Oliver: I love you Gionna.

Liv: I love you too Oliver.

Seconds later I passed out.
