A/N: This one was inspired by what happened last night :( Dunno if this is gonna be a one-shot or a story lol We'll see. What I can tell you is that this is not in anyway a part of the Roman/Lily saga. This is a completely different deal.

So with that being said, enjoy ^_^

DISCLAIMER: I only own the OCs. All other characters belong to WWE and NXT (FCW).

...stuck up in the world on her own
Forced to think that hell is a place called home
Nothing else to do but get some clothes and pack
She says she's 'bout to run away and never come back...

I did it... I actually did it...

The voluminous tidal wave of boos and "YOU SOLD OUT!" chants echoing throughout the walls of the arena did nothing to faze him out of the reality of the deed he just committed.

Lying unconscious before him with the scars from Payback were the men he called "brothers". The same be men he trained with tirelessly at NXT. The same men he came together with in the name of justice. The very same men who night in and night out he was prepared to give his life, even commit murder for. The very same men that he stood side by side with in battle last night to take down the figureheads of injustice were now laid to waste because of him.

"Well done, kid..." The king of kings snaked his arm around his shoulders, his tone of voice glistening with satisfaction like a proud parent. "You did the right thing. No one can touch you now..."

He was right. Tonight, he became his own man. No longer would he be subjected to the burden of being the "glue". No longer would he be known as Seth Rollins, the heart and soul of The Shield. Not that he didn't enjoy the good times with his "brethren". And, oh, did he enjoy every minute of them.

But in the end, no matter what they were to him personally, there comes a time when one much accept the fact that it's what's best for business...


"Mommy!"

The calling of her five year old son, Colby, snapped her out the horror that she witnessed on screen. "What's da matta?" Worry bored from his eyes as he toddled up to his mother. Seeing her fiancee' sell his soul to the devil by decimating his close friends was heartbreaking enough. The last thing she needed was her little boy to be sad also.

"Nothing's the matter," she lied as she gently stroke his arm with her hand. "How would you like to go on a little vacation?"

The concern that Colby showed was quickly replaced with excitement as he smiled from ear to ear giggling. "Disney? Disney!"

"Disney? Hmm, I don't know..." She rubbed her chin thoughtfully with a smirk. "How fast do you think you can pack?"

Without missing a beat, Colby raced to his bedroom laughing with such jubilance. It always brought joy to her heart to see him happy. He was truly a spitting image of his father. Baby Seth, that's what her friends would call him. They figured that if he was anything like his father, she shouldn't surprised if he started during crazy stunts the moment he found his legs. Unfortunately, that made it all the more upsetting to have to resort to this desperate act of taking him away. However, she couldn't take any chances given what transpired on RAW tonight.

His eyes... They were so cold... How could he? So many questions rattled around in her brain as she tried to process what Seth had done. He wasn't just friends with Dean and Roman. They were brothers. Like a family. During days off, Seth, Dean, and Roman would come to the house to hang out. Roman would bring his daughter over for play dates with Colby. She could still remember the hilarity that ensued in the whenever Dean would bring the food. But those happy days turned sour after tonight.

At a brisk pace, she proceeded to pack her belongs as well. She packed one full heavy suitcase, one carry on, and placed her passport in her purse just in case.

"I ready!" She perked up and spotted Colby all dressed with his Avengers backpack and Captain America baseball cap on his head. "I ready to go, mommy!"

She found herself doing her damnedest to fight the tears that were threatening to escape. But no matter what, she couldn't afford to breakdown especially in front of Colby. "Hey.. Well, you look ready to me. Go get your Thor plushie."

"Otay!" Colby once again bolted to his room and returned with his stuffed Thor doll snuggled in his arms following her mother closely behind. After a quick last minute inspection of her belongings and even doing a little packing for Colby, she wheeled their things to the front door. "Sweetie, you need to go potty before we go?"

As if his bladder heard her, Colby keeled over with face scrunched up. "Uh-huh. I go." She chuckled as he disappeared into the bathroom to take care of his business. But her chortle flattered as she reached into bag for her cell phone and dialed. "Pick up, pick up, pick up..." Her heart wavered with each passing dial tone. "Please, pick up..." She never expected to contact him again, especially at a time like this. But as they say, desperate times call for desperate measures.

"Hey, sorry that I couldn't come to the phone. But if you leave your name, number, and a message, I'll call you back. Thanks." As refreshing as it was to hear his rugged voice again, it would've been better if it wasn't via voicemail.

"*beep* Hi... I-It's me... Listen, um... I know I'm the last person in the world you wanna talk to right now. But I really need your help... After watching RAW, I..." She choked on her words with sobs that hiccuped from her. "I can't stay with Seth! I-I'm scared shitless for us... For Colby and I... Please, if you get this message... Please help... I know I shouldn't be asking you for anything after what happened the last time we talked... But... Please... Please help..."

With that, she hung up and stuffed her cell back in her pocket. She turned around to see Colby all better, but with the worry from earlier peaking through his eyes again. "Mommy, why you crying?"

"What?" She didn't know that she cried. She sniffled and wiped her tears away with her sleeve. "Heh, mommy's just had a tiring day that's all," She fibbed once again. "You ready to go?"

"Uh-huh!"

"Ok." Not willing to waste anymore time, she stuffed hers and Colby's things into the car, picked Colby up and secured him in his booster seat. "All comfy?"

"Yeah!" Colby cheered.

She put her key into the ignition and started the car. "Let's roll..." She pulled out of the driveway and hit the road with her little boy. From her peripheral vision, the house that she and Seth found together after he made into WWE disappeared on the rear view mirror. She knew that she this was going to be an arduous journey ahead. And how is she going to explain to Colby that his father had betrayed his best friends and sold his soul to the devil? And how long can she keep it together before falling apart?

There was only one thing she could do. Pray with all her heart that he can let go of the past and help her and Colby stay safe from the trauma that may lie ahead...

A/N: Well? What do guys think?
