Chapter 4

2014

This year hadn't gone the way that Karen had expected at all her father suffered a massive stroke and she needed to take months off of work to be by his side as he spent 5 months in the hospital. As the school year ended she made the difficult choice to not be a full time teacher any more , that choice broke her heart but her father needed around the clock care. She wasn't close with her dad at all but it was something she needed to do for her mom.

Over the Summer Karen went into a deep depression over the events of the last several months. She hadn't been working out much and just had been keeping to her self the only thing that seemed to get her thru the long depression summer as odd as it sounds was Dean Ambrose. She went back and would watch his old Jon Moxley promos and of course his current work as Dean Ambrose. Crying herself to sleep had become an all to common thing for her but hearing Dean's voice was calming to her. Watching Dean Ambrose in the ring pulled her out of the darkness that seemed to plagued her life and chose to look to the brighter things. She looked forward to Mondays and Thursdays for Raw and Smackdown and every PPV.

December 2014

Karen got tickets to Smackdown she was of course taking Parker. This seemed to be their thing every time they came to Michigan she didn't mind spoiling him because he deserved it. It was the day of the show she showered and got ready to go she went and picked up Parker from school.

"Hi Karen." He smiled wearing his Roman Reigns shirt.

"Hi Little Man. How was school?" She asked.

" It was great. I passed my spelling test." He said with the biggest smile on his face.

"That is sooo awesome. Are you ready to have some fun?" She asked as she text Terri and told her they were headed to Smackdown.

As they drove to the arena they talked about what they thought was going to happen tonight and who they may see.

"I hope we see Roman I wonder if we'll be near when he comes down the crowd." Parker smiled.

Karen smiled she was 90% sure she got their tickets in the arena Roman would be coming down and she was so excited to surprise him.

"We'll have to find out." She grinned.

"You just want to see Dean because you looovvveee him." He said.

"Yeah yeah." She joked.

As they parked the car they went to eat at TGI Friday's Parker was loving his Chicken Tenders and Karen was eating her French fries. When she received a text message from her friend Sara.

"According to twitter this is the car Ambrose drove today." She sent with a photo of the rental car.

"Awesome maybe we will head that way after we eat. Thanks." She sent.

That is exactly what they did after they enjoyed some dinner they walked around in the cool brisk December air and headed around to the back to the arena. Parker had Karen's phone looking at all the cars when he see one Dean had been driving.

"That's Dean's!" He said all excited jumping up and down .

"Yeah it is isn't it." She smiled as she could feel the butterflies already.

"After the show we have to come stand right here by this fence." Parker stated.

"Sure thing little man. It's super close." Karen said trying not to get her hopes up.

When the doors opened they headed inside and did their normal routine of concessions to get their collectors cups and of course the merchandise stand. As they were walking to their seats Parker was getting even more excited.

"WOW this is even closer than last time." He said hugging her.

"It is buddy and we can see pretty much everything." She said pointing to the commentator table and the ring.

They weren't sitting on the floor but they were sitting 5 rows up so it was fairly close. Karen and Parker took a few photos and sent them to Terri before the show started .

"I have my signs." He smiled. "I hope they see them and I wonder where Roman is going to be coming down at?"

"I am not sure." She smiled hoping he could chose their section since they were lucky enough to get the end seats.

As Smackdown started Roman's theme played and he was coming down the stairs and Parker freaked out as he was coming towards.

"AHHHH THAT'S ROMAN! ROMAN ROMAN." Parker screamed full of excitement as Karen was recording and taking photos of this moment for Parker as Roman looked at Parker and gave him a thumbs up and winked.

"THAT just happened please tell that happened." He said sitting in his seat as Roman made his way to the ring. .

"Mr. Man that totally happened." She grinned so excited for him.

The show was amazing as they sat thru Miz TV , Roman vs Fandago , Miz down and The Miz in a tag match. When Dean's music hit Karen began feeling butterflies as Parker held up his Dean Ambrose sign.

Dean got in to the ring as the video of Monday Night Raw was beginning to play. Dean cut an amazing Promo on Bray Wyatt.

"So tonight right here in GRAND RAPIDS MICHIGAN I am gonna kick Bray Wyatt's ASS!" Dean said at the end of his promo as his music his and everyone cheered. He stood on the ring ropes and looked to be pointing in Karen and Parkers general directions as Parker was screaming and holding his sign up.

They also saw Rollins Mr. Money in the bank vs Dolph Ziggler the current IC Champion.

"I want Seth to win." Parker smiled

"Me too. Kick butt Rollins." Karen yelled.

"Karen." Parker giggled.

"To much?" She joked

"A tad." He laughed as she tickled him.

The dark match for the evening was Dean Ambrose vs Bray Wyatt. Dean came to the ring again focused and ready for a fight as Bray got into the ring Dean attacked.

"GO DEAN GOOOOOOOOO." Parker screamed.

As Karen smiled watching Dean fight live was amazing to her his movements were magic to her. She could tell he loved what he did and gave his whole heart she respected and supported that. She took a few photos hoping they would turn out because Dean never seemed to stay still in the ring. As Bray got out a kendo stick to even the odds Dean countered and was playing to the audience and he hit Bray a few times and then ended the match with a Dirty Deeds for the pin. The place went wild as Dean celebrated on the turn buckle and then got out of the ring and stood on the announcers table and blew a kiss to the crowd and a bow. As he walked past the fans he was clapping their hands as he glanced up and Karen and Parker and couldn't help but smile for some reason.

"She looks familiar?" He said to himself and he headed back stage.

As everyone was leaving the arena Parker was running back to the fence.

"Slow down please." Karen said. "Sorry he's a bit excited" She said to someone he had bumped into.

"We're here we made it." He smiled standing by the fence next to the rental car. Parker then proceeded to get into Karen's back and get out a marker and his program for Dean to sign.

They waited for about 10 minutes when the fans started screaming as Dean Ambrose was coming to his car followed by Renee Young.

"DEAN , RENEE DEAN!" The fans were screaming as they were putting things into his rental car.

Renee went over to the fans for a selfie with a few of them.

"Dean Can my nephew get a photo with you please?" Karen said.

Dean tossed his back into the car and looked up getting a huge smile on his face as his eyes met Karen's her heart was beating so fast as he her hand started shaking. When Renee got to the passenger door.

"Let's go it's cold and wet out." She said sternly to Dean.

Dean glanced at Karen as she smiled at him. He slammed the back door to the rental car and got in to the car and drove away.

"Aww man." Parker said upset.

"I know I'm sorry Mr. Man. Please don't cry there is always next time." She said.

"Why was that blonde so mean?" He asked.

"I think she was just cold." Karen said as she was holding in her tears.

That night after Karen dropped off Parker she got home and went right to bed. As he head hit the pillow her tears began to fall.

"DAMN it. So close yet so far away. I thought tonight would be the night. I guess I was just fooling myself. I am not expecting this epic love story I mean clearly he's with her. But I mean I would have liked to meet him and not only that but Parker was so upset tonight. I had to be brave for him and tell him there is always next time which is something I need to keep telling myself. I mean of course I don't expect him to fall in love with me or anything but I just want to tell him that he's helped me. I really don't know how i would be dealing with my life right now if it wasn't for him." She sniffled thinking to herself. As she started the Moxley From the Streets DVD that seemed to be living in her DVD player as of late she finally drifted off to sleep listening to his voice.

In Grand Rapids with Dean.

He was laying in bed when Renee came out of the bath room.

"What the hell was that?" He growled.

"What?" She asked.

"You stopped for fans but the second I wanted to it was time to go?" Dean stated.

"Come on they were just fan girls any way. Besides it was starting to snow and it was cold." She said laying on the touching his face.

"I am really not in the mood. I have an early flight home." He said.

"Want me to come to Vegas with you this week?" She smiled.

"No I don't. You can go to New York." He said laying there as he was thinking to himself.

"Is this the best I can do? I mean that is what she is always telling me that I can't do any better than her. Maybe she's right I want a real woman and not a ring rat. Maybe Renee is the one for me that seems to be what everyone around here is telling me. Is there someone out there for me that's not Renee? I just get so confused when it comes to women. I was the hit it and quit it type I hit this and she's stuck around." He told himself as he drifted off to sleep.
