Summary: Cassie had given up on all her dreams after her rough childhood and past relationship. Her friend Renee Young helps her pick up a job working for the WWE and her whole life changes as she falls for Roman Reigns. But when the truth comes out about her past, truths she didn't even know, and the past comes back to haunt her will she be able to survive? Roman Reigns/OC.

I imagine Cassie as Cassadee Pope.

One

Reddish blonde hair hung over the woman's shoulders in waves as her green eyes concentrated on the drawing in front of her. The image was dark like the rest of her art and the scars on her arms were just sad reminders of her horrible life but she wouldn't let it bring her down. Most people used their bad life as an excuse to be horrible people but it wasn't. She heard footsteps behind her and tensed up hating herself for it but having a bad childhood wasn't the only thing that haunted her. She looked up and sighed seeing her friend Renee standing behind her smiling. The blonde took a seat across from her and she saw the look in her brown eyes knowing that Renee was up to something she just didn't know what.

"Alright spill," she ordered closing her notebook.

"I know you're probably going to hate me Cassie but I might have gotten you a job with the network as a designer," Renee told her friend.

Cassie looked at the woman sitting across from her and really didn't know what to think. Everyone always told her that she was useless and that she would never go anywhere. She had met Renee by accident really when she had bumped into the woman after leaving the job she had at the bar she worked and knocked her over. Ever since they two have been friends. She traveled a lot working with the WWE but always stopped by in Cleveland to spend time with her. The redhead had a broken past and she never really told anyone about it until she had met Renee and while the blonde didn't know everything she felt like she could trust the woman. Instincts were always something she trusted growing up and the woman meant well she was just mostly afraid that it would turn out that everyone was right and she was a massive failure.

"I have the job or I have to interview for the job?" she questioned.

"You have the job on a three month trial arrangement where you will have to travel but they love the work I showed them," Renee commented.

Renee couldn't help but feel that this girl reminded her so much of Jon that it was almost funny. She hardly had a life and anyone with eyes could see that she had an abusive past but Cassie had never let it get her down. She thought of the girl as a little sister really and wanted to help her get her confidence back and it worked out because Stephanie had loved her work even if it was a little dark. The redhead gave her a look but a small smile graced her face and she nodded her head in thanks. The rest of their problems were forgotten as well as they had a girls night but Cassie still had darkness surrounding her and she didn't know how to get rid of it.

~Broken Angel~

Cassie fixed her blouse one more time glaring at Renee who just laughed at her. The blonde had said that she could wear her skinny jeans as long as they didn't have rips in them with a nice blouse and her jacket. Her red hair was down and curled while her dark blue skinny jeans were void of any marks. Cassie was nervous and almost thought that this was some type of practical joke but she trusted Renee even if she had only known the woman four months and decided to do her best and hope that her demons didn't get in the way.

"I told you a million times that you will be fine," Renee reassured the young girl of twenty four who despite everything at least had a degree in graphic design and business which helped her case.

"When you've been told more times than you can count that you are worthless and that you will never make it anywhere then let me know how you feel when you finally get a break," Cassie snapped at her and then sighed, "I'm sorry."

"It's fine you have me," she said understanding in a way and that was just one more way it reminded her of her boyfriend.

Cassie sung lyrics to Slipknot in her head to stop from being so nervous as her friend led her to Stephanie McMahon's office. The woman smiled at her and stood from the chair. She sighed shaking her hand hoping the woman didn't see the scars or notice them but the way her blue eyes peered down at them quickly told her otherwise. The redhead sighed knowing that the woman was probably going to bring it up and as Renee left she sent a look to the blonde.

"I saw your work and I have to say that I love it," Stephanie started out with, "And I see that you have a degree in graphic design as well as business."

"Yeah I figured it's better to have a backup just in case," Cassie said praying she wouldn't ask about the scars.

"Well as I am sure Renee told you this will be on a three month trial basis. If you continue to do well we will keep you on and I have a feeling that you will. I will have Renee introduce you to main woman in design and show you around. It's good to have you here Cassadee," Stephanie said smiling standing up.

"Oh it's just Cassie," the redhead corrected and then silently cursed herself because that probably wasn't a good idea.

Cassie was surprised when Stephanie merely smiled at her and she was greeted by Renee's excited face. She took a deep breath and accepted the hug her friend gave as she was led away from the office. Nothing was said for a minute as they walked until Renee came to a stop looking at her and the artist just waited raising a brow in question.

"I know you can do this so don't let anything in your past stop you," was all the blonde said before leading her, "Now first I have to introduce you to your boss and coworker Lila Carter. I have a feeling you will like her."

Cassie rolled her eyes following the blonde to the back where everything was designed and waited while the woman shouted out. Renee kept shouting until a brunette with brown eyes and brown hair stormed up seeming to be pissed off until she saw who it was then she just smiled and hugged the blonde. The brunette saw her and she raised an eyebrow in question.

"This is the new girl Cassie," Renee introduced.

"Oh the new designer good to meet you kid," the brunette greeted.

"I'm not a kid and I haven't been for a while," Cassie snapped hating when people called her a kid.

Lila held her hands up and saw the look that Renee gave and she knew that this woman must have a pretty dark past. She honestly didn't care as long as the girl did her work and Renee wouldn't just stick up for anyone or put her neck out. She would give the girl a chance. Cassie could feel Lila assessing her and she crossed her arms tensing up. She really hated meeting new people because she never really knew if you could trust them or not. She was thankful when Renee led her away once again and told her that they had to meet some of the divas. Cassie wasn't one to usually like girls or be friends with them because there was always drama but she was just going to have to give it a chance for Renee because the blonde stuck her neck out to get her this job. They were met first by Nikki Bella and the storyline had made her lose her title to Charlotte as Night of Champions and often displayed her as a stuck up bitch but again a lot of that was writing and she highly doubted that Renee would be friends with someone like that plus she actually kind of felt bad for the girl because of everything John Cena seemed to be putting her through.

"Hey Nikki," Renee greeted her friend with a hug.

"Hey girl. Who's your friend?" she asked seeing the beautiful woman but saw something broken and it kind of made her want to wrap the girl up in her arms.

"This is my friend and new designer Cassie," Renee introduced seeing the protectiveness that seemed to come out in Nikki as the former divas champion looked at the girl.

"So Cassie do you happen to like to shop?" Nikki asked a smile on her face forming a plan to befriend this girl and make sure that no one hurt her.

Cassie saw something in Nikki's eyes that kind of put her on alert. It didn't seem bad though because she could usually sense that kind of stuff. Living the way she did she had learned to trust her instincts and she could usually sense when someone had something bad planned or was lying. Most called her it secret superpower but she just called it a nuisance. Cassie knew that Renee was close to the Bella Twins and she sighed figuring that she would at least give them a chance for the blonde. Besides all of that she wanted to take a chance for once in her life and she didn't want her past or the darkness that haunted her dictate her life anymore so maybe this was a start to finally breaking free and no longer being the broken girl.
