I hope you'll enjoy my little story. Here are the first two chapters. Just let me know how I did.
Betrayal, pain and love
Chapter 1 "A Riddle called Dean Ambrose"
Seth stared at the script for the new storyline. He couldn't believe what he read.
'WTF! Are they nuts? What is the purpose of that? No way, I am going to do that. I caused enough damage!' He thought to himself and was on his way out so he could talk to Stephanie.
He walked down the hallways and his mind slipped to the target of the new script and his heart started to ache. As he reached the door of Steph's office he heard voices but he still knocked forcefully on the same one and opened it. Seth was so angry with the climax of the new storyline and so he started talking without checking who else was in her office.
"Steph, what the hell are you thinking? That storyline is insane you can't make me do this! I won't hurt him anymore. I told you that I never meant to hurt him as much as I did. How could you let them write such a story when you knew I would never agree? He is been through enough. More than you will ever know! So would you please explain yourself to me?"
"Seth, and a good day to you too. What is your problem? First of all, I don't owe an explanation to anybody. And second we didn't make this story up by ourselves. The top event in four weeks was his idea. So would you explain to ME, what's bothering you, Seth?" She pointed at a corner of her office. Seth's eyes followed the invisible line that her finger drew. When his eyes reached their destination he was shocked.
He inhaled deeply. "Dean?" That was everything he got out. 'Is this supposed to be a sick joke? Why would Dean suggest a match that could end his career? Why would he want to get his head driven through some cinderblocks? Why? Why? WHY? Would he ever be able to figure out the riddle what he called Dean Ambrose's mind?' All of those burning questions are running through Seth's head. He knew that Dean loves his job more than anything else. Dean always says that he owes pro-wrestling, he probably owed that sport his life. Seth pushed his thoughts away and fought back the tears pooling in his eyes. "You came up with that insane match in four weeks? Do you want to die or something?" Seth asks in a very bitter voice.
Dean was still shocked from Seth's words. He couldn't believe that the other man was still thinking about him. Him and his feelings. Dean couldn't bring himself to forgive Seth that he took on that storyline a few months ago and kept quiet about it. Seth and he had a lot of matches or you might say fights against each other. He had two reasons for it. Dean didn't want to see his other "brother" in pain too often when Roman had to fight Seth. Roman and Seth are still very close. They are working out together, watching football at Seth's house and calling each other to see how they've been doing. So he stood up for them as Steph asks a little after the break up who will be the one holding the grudge against Seth and fight him more often than the other. Rome had thanked him for that over and over and over. And the other reason was that he was broken. Broken in every imaginable way . . . physically, mentally and emotionally. He was done… done with thinking, done with hoping and done with hurting. He wanted to bury himself in a dark hole and never come out of there again.
Finally he looked at Seth and said in a cocky voice. "Sounds like fun. Dying … I never tried that!" He crocked an eyebrow and half smiled at the shock in Seth's face. "Steph, would you mind if we sign a contract on the final match in four weeks. I don't want that sly snake to bail out on the main event." Now Seth and Steph, both of them were shocked at his demand. "I won't sue you or anything if something goes wrong. I promise. Neither one of you!" Dean said in a very confidential and serious voice.
He pulled a piece of blank paper from Stephanie's printer. He wrote a brief note about the following four weeks. Then he showed it to Stephanie for her approval. She nodded and signed the paper. She also put an official seal of the WWE on the head of the paper and in the middle of the back. She handed it back to Dean. Stephanie's eyes wandered from him to Seth. She wanted to get up and pull the two-tuned man in a tight hug. She turned to Dean again and spoke with a shaky voice. "You're still damn sure about the end of this fight and I still don't like it. Dean, please tell me what I have to do to change your mind. Your behavior is irrational and you know it yourself. Dean, that stunt could end your career or even your life. I've been telling you this for weeks." She needed Seth to know that she didn't have anything to do with it and already tried to get Dean to listen to her. Dean started to hit his chest with his bare hand. He rolled his eyes at her and said. "Like I said all those other times . . . I FUCKING don't care." He started to get really pissed. Seth had to sign this paper god damn fast or he would lose it right there. He walked over to Seth and looked him in the eyes for the first time in weeks. It hurts, it hurts so much! Dean thought Seth could see his very soul breaking inside of him. His eyes turned into a determent and scary glare. "You know I don't trust you anymore. But I know you're freaking good at your job. So the only thing I am asking for is that you do the best you've ever done." He handed Seth the paper and said a littler calmer than before but with a hint of despair in his voice. "Let's make it like you've always wanted. Big! Dramatic! Breathtaking and heart stopping! Followed by a 'WTF'!" Steph inhaled deeply.
Now it was Seth's turn to wonder about the man looking at him with that frozen eyes. Dean still knew that. He'd told Dean that he wanted an epic fight over three years ago. Seth took a deep breath and fought the urge of shoving Dean back against the wall to knock some sense into him. "Dean…!" He was cut off by those frozen eyes that didn't suit Dean at all. He missed the caring, warm eyes from him. He knew it was his fault. All of it! Everything! But he would never admit that to his brothers. At least not yet. Dean whispered into Seth's ear after he moved slowly closer. "Just sign the paper and do your job." Seth knew Dean too well so he obeyed. He took the paper and signed without taking his eyes of Dean who exhaled loudly as he saw the younger man signing. Dean mumbled a quiet thanks and walked out of Steph's office. "I'm so sorry, Seth. I tried my best to get him to listen to me but . . ." She didn't know how to finish the sentence. "It's not your fault, Steph. Don't blame yourself. I need to talk to him though. Maybe I can get through to him." Seth turned around and ran after Dean.
He caught up with him just before he would walk into the cafeteria. Seth grabbed his shoulder and said. "Dean, I need to talk to you. Now! Roof or basement? Your choice." Dean looked at his so called brother and answered. "Roof, so I can practice dying for crying out loud." Seth looked in his eyes and couldn't hide the fact that he was hurt by this answer.
Roman who was waiting for Dean caught the whole incident. He didn't know what was going on but he thought it would be best if he followed. Although he gave them space to talk in private. He just wanted to make sure they wouldn't fight on the roof. Dean's saying about dying wasn't new to him. After the whole mess that Seth left them in, Dean was broken and hurt beyond words. Roman would call or text him every single day just to know if Dean was still breathing. Roman didn't know how to help his brother except being there for him. He promised himself he would see Dean's infectious smile again! No matter what! Roman had tried so hard to get his two baby brothers to talk to each other but nothing worked. After Dean told him why he couldn't bring himself to see Seth's actions only as business act he stopped pushing the issue. Roman kept his distance but followed his brothers up the stairs to the rooftop. Dean leaned on the wall right next to the door and Seth walked a couple more steps to the center of the roof so he could feel the wind. Dean glared at that beautiful man for a moment. He missed being with both of his brothers. His family. Yeah family, because his own family was too messed up to mean anything to him. But he wasn't here to dream about some 'what if's'. So he puts a foot on the wall which he was leaning against and asks in a cold voice. "What do you want, Rollins? I ain't got all day. You wanted to talk, so talk already!"
"Would you fucking tell me what is wrong with you? What riddle is stuck in your mind now and how can I figure it out? You can't be serious. This stunt is some dangerous shit and I don't want to hurt you or even be the reason for the end of your career. So tell me, what I need to do to stop you?" Seth couldn't hold back all of his tears but he still looked in Dean's eyes. That simple act calmed Dean down and his eyes were so clear. Seth was so worried about one of his best friends. Even if Dean didn't feel the same way anymore but he still cared for him. He actually cared very deeply about the lunatic. "Dean, please! Please, let me change your mind." Roman got his hopes up for a brief moment. Maybe Seth could smash some sense into the difficult mind of Dean Ambrose.
I hope you enjoyed the first chapter. Let me tell you, it will get worse and than worst . . . after that it gets better.
Sorry for wrong punction, I am not a native speaker. I still know it's a lame excuse.
Hugs to all of you.
