It took Kaitlyn a little bit to get use to the awkward hello's and whispers her colleagues told one another as she passed. She knew they all wanted to know the reason for the break up or how she was granted all that time off, but she shrugged it off and smiled as she passed them. She wasn't going to let them bother her, she had bigger problems.

Kaitlyn's smile instantly faded when she walked into catering. Her eyes locked on the three men sitting in their all black attire at the table farthest from her. She could feel her stomach in her throat and she wanted to run as far away as she could possibly get. She slowly started to back away in hopes that she wouldn't be noticed, but it was too late. She and Seth had locked eyes, his facial expression went blank and he froze in whatever conversation he was in. I can't not say hello, she thought to herself, as she gave him a small wave. Before she could even get a reaction from him she was surrounded by wrestlers coming over to welcome her back.

"Alright, I'm done here. I think we should, uh head out. Collect ourselves" Seth said to Dean and Roman. He couldn't let his best friend see Kaitlyn, not yet. He had watched Dean sit at the entrance of the arena's they performed in looking for any signs of Kaitlyn. He would sit at the entrance until the very last minute possible and when all signs pointed to her not showing up, he would sulk back down the hallway into the locker room. He didn't want him sulking now, they were a week away from the Extreme Rules pay per view where they would be, as they were told, winning the titles. He needed Dean in tip top shape, to show all the doubters why they deserved it.

Dean and Roman looked at each other and let out a small chuckle.

"What the fuck is there to collect ourselves about?" Dean asked, tossing his food from one side of the plate to the other, he eyed one of the newer divas as they strolled by. He looked back at his teammates at the table and wiggled his eyebrows.

"Welcome back Kaity girl" Dean heard a voice say from behind him. It was as if time stopped and everything went cloudy. Did he hear correctly? Kaitlyn's here?

Roman and Seth looked at each other with their eyes wide. They quickly turned their attention back to Dean, and watched as he tried to process what was just said.

Dean threw his fork down in his plate and stood up. "Yeah, let's get out of here" he demanded, causing the two other men to dispose of their things and walk with him. He turned back to see if he could catch a glimpse of her but, to no avail. She was surrounded by her old friends. She was back, and he really wasn't prepared for it.

Seth patted Dean on his shoulders as they walked out, "just keep your focus, man. Eyes always on the prize" he reassured.

"Pfft, absolutely. Nothing's getting in my way" Dean chuckled, hoping to convince his friends. Truth was, he wasn't convinced himself.

However as much as he tried to push it out of his head , the night just seemed to be one big blur. He barely paid attention to anything that was going on. During his match he had become so lost in his thoughts of the last time he saw her, that he just barely missed getting kicked directly in the face by Jimmy Uso. He fell back into the corner of the ring and blinked a few times before realizing what was going on.

"You alright?!" Roman shouted at him, giving him eyes that seemed to ask, what the fuck are you doing?'.

Dean nodded slowly looking up at the huge Samoan.

"Alright, let's go!" Roman shouted at him, hoping to refocus him.

Much to Dean's liking, the night ended quickly. He immediately showered and got dressed. "I'm gonna go heat up the car!" he called to his friends. What a stupid lie, Dean knew they didn't believe him, hell, he didn't even believe it himself. He rushed to the parking lot and threw his luggage in the car, not really caring how and where it fell. He turned on the car and sat in the drivers seat watching and waiting. "What a fucking creep I am" he said aloud to himself. His frustration grew as he saw Roman and Seth coming towards the car.

"You fuckers ready or what?" Dean asked, playing off the real reason he was sitting in the car.

"Yeah, we were just giving you some time" Roman told him, making it very clear they knew what he was doing.

Dean nodded, caught. Seeing her wasn't meant to be. They were in the same building for hours today and not once did their paths cross. If they were meant to reconnect and be together then he would've seen her, that's all. This logic seemed to work for him. He quickly shook it off and turned to his friends "You boys up for some drinks tonight?"

"Not going to lie Kaitlyn, I was pissed off at how you just disappeared. You didn't answer my text messages or phone calls. I just wanted to help, you know?" AJ told her best friend as they laid on the hotel room floor, side by side. "That was really scary" she finished.

"I know, I'm sorry' Kaitlyn apologized, taking a huge bite out of one of her Twizzlers. "It was like, I just wanted to disappear. I had literally just told you how I was praying that he would propose soon and not 20 minutes later was he telling me it was over. I was.. embarrassed"

"He should be embarrassed" AJ snapped. "He let you go! You were the best thing he had going on in his life!"

Kaitlyn laid quietly. She was deciding how she would word the next question, or if she even should ask it. She knew regardless of the answer, she wouldn't be able to handle it.

"I see your wheels turning, Kaitlyn" AJ said, looking her dead in the eyes. "What's going on in that pretty, big-haired, little head of yours?" she asked.

Kaitlyn let out a small laugh, no one could cheer her up like AJ did. "Ok, I want you to be honest with me, promise?" She said before taking a deep breath. Her anxiety crept up on her and she felt her chest tightening.

"As always" AJ nodded.

"Did he like .. start date anyone while I was gone?" She asked and immediately regretted it.

"No" AJ answered simply.

Kaitlyn let out the breath that she was subconsciously holding.

"But.." AJ began, she knew the next thing she was going to tell her best friend would kill her. "You asked me to be honest, and I have to, there's no way I could ever keep anything from you"

Kaitlyn gingerly nodded.

"He slept with a few girls, a few of the newer girls that were coming up. Quite a few." AJ reiterated quietly. She hoped that been so quiet that Kaitlyn didn't hear it, but as she watched the tears well in her eyes ,she immediately regretted the moment. She wished for once, she could've just lied to her.

Kaitlyn continuously nodded, not really sure of what to say or do. The thought of him being in the bed with other women shattered her heart. "I mean, I'd be stupid to think that he wouldn't right?" she said, wiping the tears from her face.

"It's just men" AJ said disgusted. "That's what they do"

Kaitlyn continued to nod, it was the only thing she could do that wouldn't make her burst into tears. If she asked who the women were she'd probably be arrested and never let out to see the light of day for the rest of her life. She didn't want to know who anyway, it wasn't their fault - it was his. It was all his fault, he left her. Her sadness quickly turned into anger and she repressed her tears. She looked at the clock, 12:30, it read. "It's getting late" she managed to let out. "You should head to bed, I don't want to keep you up any more with my nonsense"

"Are you sure?" AJ asked, "I'll stay for a while more. I just want to make sure your ok"

Kaitlyn plastered on a fake smile. The last thing she wanted from anyone, including her best friend, was a pity party. "Yeah, no, I'm totally okay. I'm gonna head downstairs to grab a drink and some food." She said looking down at the candy wrappers all over the floor. " Real food" she added with a half hearted chuckle.

"Alright. Sweet dreams, I love you, best friend" AJ said sweetly, as she shut the door behind her.

Kaitlyn threw her Dallas Cowboys sweater over her wife beater and pajama shorts and walked out of her room. She pressed for the elevator and leaned her back into the cold tiled wall. I just have to get over the fact that he slept with them, she thought to herself, he was single after all. She smiled a little at the thought of them being in the same vicinity earlier and not seeing one another, "what are the chances of that happening?" she scoffed aloud to herself. The elevator bell sounded signaling it had reached her floor. As the door swung open, there he was, his hair all messy with a blonde hanging onto his hip and sucking his face. She gasped in complete shock.

Dean looked up to seeing her staring at him "Kaitlyn" he whispered.

She stared at him blankly, unable to move. There he was, the love of her life, swapping spit with this little blonde thing right in front of her face.

Dean managed to pull the girl off of him, and step out of the elevator towards Kaitlyn.

"Don't . Don't you dare fucking touch me" she let out, moving away. It took all of her strength not to break down and cry in front of him. " I.. I .. I gotta go" she stammered.

"Kaitlyn, wait.." he called out.

Kaitlyn quickly walked back into her room and slammed the door shut, collapsing into her bed in tears. Though AJ had warned her that he had moved on while she was away, nothing could've prepared her for what she walked in on. The pain that she felt tonight night was beyond anything she could've ever imagined. "I hate you!" she managed to yell into her pillow, in between her sobs. It's over, she told herself, as the picture of what she had just witnessed kept flashing in her mind like a broken record. It's really over.
