Don't Leave Like He Did
Ten times
I watched backstage in The Shield's private locker room as my twin brother Seth slammed a chair on my fiancé, Dean Ambrose's back.
I had no idea what had possessed my brother, my own flesh and blood to betray the people he had sworn to protect and to look after, I didn't want to believe that I was watching my own twin brother destroy the most powerful faction known as The Shield, but as much as I wanted to deny it, the proof was right in front of me.
And as far as I knew, the Seth Rollins I knew was long gone.
I watched on in horror as Seth curb stomped Dean into the chair, making Dean lose consciousness.
The more I looked on, the more I told myself I no longer had a brother.
How dare my brother turn his back on the men he called his brothers!? Wasn't he the one who wanted nothing more than to destroy Evolution and prove to Triple H, Randy Orton and Batista that The Shield was the future of the WWE and that they were only the past? What made him decide to do this? Why did he decide to do this?
I then watched as Seth went over to Randy Orton and gave him the same chair he used to decimate Dean and then Randy walked over and then made his way to the ring and began attacking Roman, the third closest person to me, tears streamed down my cheeks as I kept looking at the monitor
When Randy finally decide to cease his assault on Roman, Triple H and Seth walked up to the ring and looked down at the last remaining members of The Shield, Triple H had an evil, sadistic smirk on his face as he patted Seth on the back, while Randy was just enjoying all the heat that the audience was giving the three men standing tall in the ring, and Seth? He just stood there, blank stare, no emotion, no remorse, nothing, he just looked down at the battered and beaten bodies of his former teammates and brothers.
As soon as I saw that the three men were finally making their way backstage, I got up from my seat and made my way to the gorilla to await the arrival of the traitor and his new 'friends'.
Even though I wanted to run over to Seth and tackle him to the ground and beat him into a bloody pulp, I couldn't, I had to take care of the child that was inside me, you see, I'm pregnant with Dean's child and I'm due in a few weeks, so I had to hold back on wanting to rearrange my brother's face.
When I finally arrived at the gorilla, I watched in disgust as Triple H congratulated Seth on betraying The Shield and welcomed him into Evolution, while Randy gloated about how great it felt to finally get his hands on Roman.
The celebration was cut short when I made my way towards the three men
"Well done Seth Rollins, you finally sunk to a new low, good job" I sneered as she clapped mockingly at her brother
"Missy, I-"
"Shut up, Seth! All this time, you talked about how important it was to right the injustices that The Authority caused, to prove to them that The Shield wasn't going anywhere, and yet, here you are, joining the same assholes who you promised to take down"
Seth looked down in shame
"You beat the hell out of my fiancé with a chair, Seth, the father of my child, and you allowed this piece of shit to attack the man who was the closest thing we had to family" I hissed as I pointed at Randy
"Who the hell do you think you're talking to?" Randy growled as he got in my face, I then put all the weight I had into my right hand and slapped Randy in the face as hard as I could
"I'm Marissa Rollins, soon to be Ambrose, and don't you fucking forget it, now get the hell away from me, the last thing I want is to get rabies" Randy got the hint and backed away to lick his wounds
"And you, Cerebral Assassin" I spat as I turned to Hunter "I really hope you're proud of yourself, you got my brother all to yourself now and you finally got what you wanted, bet you feel almighty don't you, King of Kings?"
"I thought you knew, Missy, I always win, even when I lose I always win" was all Hunter replied
I laughed in his face "And I thought you knew Hunter, The Shield may go down, but they don't stay down, you may have won this battle, but trust me when I say, on behalf of The Shield, you are far from winning the war"
"We'll see about that, Missy" Hunter said, looking rather smug
"It's Marissa to you, and we will, believe that"
When I finally looked back at Seth, his eyes reflected no remorse for his actions
"You're not going to explain yourself, Seth?" I asked, hoping I could get through to him
"I did what was best for business"
That sentence shattered my heart, it was like a stab in the heart, and I felt tears brimming in my eyes, but I refused to let them fall, I refused to let these men see me weak and defenseless, my fiancé had taught me to be much better than that
'Don't let no man see you at your weakest babe, prove to them that you are a strong woman who won't take shit from no one'
I was about to speak when I heard voices coming from behind the gorilla, I looked over as the medics helped Dean carry Roman, who looked about ready to pass out from exhaustion, I then saw Dean looking over at me
"MARISSA!" Dean called out, he then asked the medics to take Roman to the trainer's room, while he made his way towards me
"What the hell are you doing with these assholes, Missy?" asked Dean as he placed a protective hand over my bulging stomach
"Just giving them a piece of my mind, babe" I told him as I took his other hand and laced it with mine
"Congratulations on being The Authority's new bitch, Rollins" Dean said as he fought the urge to attack him, Seth looked at Dean, showing no emotion, but I knew my twin brother better, I knew that Dean's words were affecting him a great deal, and I was glad for that.
"Come on Dean, we have to go, Roman's probably wondering where we are" I replied as I took his hand and led him away from the so called 'men', we then turned and began to walk towards the trainer's room
"But wait, before I go" I added as I turned back to face Seth and the others "Just thought I'd let you know, I don't want you near me or Dean when I give birth, you hear me? As far as I know, the Seth Rollins I know is dead; the only uncle in my child's life will be Roman"
"Aren't you being a bit melodramatic, Marissa?" Triple H asked, a devious smirk on his repugnant face
"Don't think I won't slap the shit out of you too, prick" I warned
"You wouldn't dare lay a hand on me, you may be on maternity leave, but you are still an active wrestler and I am still your boss"
I growled in anger, knowing he was right
"From now on just stay the hell away from us, you have no idea who you just messed with" I said, walking away with Dean at my side.
Dean and I had just gotten in the small room where the medical staff was tending to Roman's injuries when Dr. Amman pulled us to the side
"How is Roman, Doctor?" I asked, watching Roman lie down on his stomach
"He'll be fine, although he has some bruises and one or two broken ribs, those men did quite some damage, he'll be sore for a few days, but other than that, he'll be okay, just make sure he has plenty of rest and try to get him to stay in bed for a few days, too much movement on his part can mess with his ribs healing, here is some antiseptic, it'll help the cuts that are on his back heal properly and stop any infections from spreading, other than that, just let him rest as much as possible"
"Thank you, doctor" Dean said, before turning to walk over to Roman
Dr. Amman called his staff to leave the room so we could have some privacy
"Hey, big guy how are you feeling?" I asked as Dean helped Roman sit up
"I'm not sure how to feel, did Seth really turn on us?"
"He did, he turned his back on us, his family" I answered, trying not to start crying
"Don't cry, baby girl, that asshole doesn't deserve your tears" Roman soothed, patting me lightly on the shoulder
We stayed in the trainer's room for a bit longer until we had decided it was time to head back to the hotel we were staying at, once there Dean and I had offered Roman to stay with us, since he was rooming with Seth, but he politely declined and told us he'd be okay sleeping on his own, knowing Seth wouldn't be staying with him anymore, I then offered to put the antiseptic ointment on him before he went to bed, he agreed, Dean went ahead to our room to shower while I went to Roman's room and prepared to put the antiseptic on his back.
"Thank you for doing this, Missy" said Roman as he took off to the bathroom to change into his sleepwear, when he came out I had him sit on his bed while I spread a decent amount of the ointment and began to rub it on his back
"We're not going to stand by and do nothing" Roman spoke as I placed the medicine on his back "We'll get Seth back for this, and we're going to mess him up" I would usually be bothered if someone threatened to harm my brother, but now I was looking forward to it
"I wouldn't expect anything less from the Lunatic Fringe and the Powerhouse of The Shield" I told him playfully, finishing up putting the ointment on his back
"There, that should do it, if you feel any discomfort, don't hesitate to call me or Dean, after the night we've had, I don't think me or the baby will be able to get a decent rest"
"I know what you mean, but I'll be fine, you go to Dean and get some sleep, you're due in a few weeks and we can't have you stressing out"
"Okay, take care Ro and goodnight, buddy" I said as I kissed his forehead and made my way to mine and Dean's room.
When I walked into my room, I noticed that Dean was sitting on the couch watching a Walking Dead rerun on the television
"Dean, I'm back" I told him as I sat next to him
"Will Roman be okay?" wondered Dean
"Yeah, he's already planning on how to get back at Seth" I answered, placing my head on his shoulder
"How's the baby?" I smiled and placed one of his hands on my stomach
"She is well, when I was watching Seth attack you with that chair, she wouldn't stop moving around, it's like she sensed your pain" I told him, trying not to let Dean see the tears that were now freely falling
"Baby doll, look at me" Dean whispered, I did as was told and looked at him straight in the eye
"I love you, you mean the world to me, you're the only girl in this fucked up world who accepted me for who I was, and who I am now, what your brother did to us on Raw was unforgivable, but you stayed beside us and you stood up for us"
"Dean, I love you, too, you are my fiancé and I will always stay by your side no matter what happens, don't ever doubt me, babe, I may be Seth's twin sister, but I'm nothing like him at all, I won't leave you like he did"
Dean then got on his knees in front of me and kissed my stomach, I could tell he was crying too, his eyes were red and there were tear tracks on his face
"Please, Marissa, promise me you won't ever leave me like he did, I couldn't stand it if you were to leave me too, you, Roman and the baby are all I have left, I beg you, don't leave like he did" Dean was sobbing now, his whole body shook as he let everything out
I know of how his life was before he met me, Dean had a tough childhood, everyone he placed his trust in, from his own family and his friends, would eventually leave him, never to be seen or heard from again, even when he began wrestling in the indie circuit, he thought he was able to trust again, but everyone did the same thing and ended up disappointing him, but that all changed when he met me, Roman, and Seth, when creative placed us together as The Shield, Dean had been hesitant at first to be a part of the team, but I had somehow convinced him to have some faith in us, and the more we had dominated the WWE, the more he began to trust again, and we had given him a reason to have faith in us, and eventually, I was slowly but surely falling in love with him, and I knew he was falling for me too, I know I'm the reason he was able to trust and love again, because he won't stop reminding me, but as I watched him crying in front of me, I couldn't help but to cry along with him
"I give you my word, Dean Ambrose, I will always stay by your side and so will Roman, we won't let you go back to your old life, and I love you too damn much to let you slip into the darkness again, as long as you give me your word that you'll never lose your trust in me"
"I give you my word; I love you too fucking much to let you go" I then leaned in to kiss him, our tears slowly fading
"Dean, I need you to promise me something" I said to him as I pulled away from the kiss
"Anything for you, doll face"
"When you get the chance to get your hands on Seth, promise me you and Roman will make him suffer, I don't give a damn if he is my flesh and blood, I want him to pay for betraying us, make him bleed"
"You have my word, believe that"
