Too many different thoughts were flashing through my mind and I didn't even realize that I was still standing in the middle of their locker. But Roman brought me back to reality as he started to walk towards me. I gave him a confused look but he just said unfriendly: "I don't even wanna know what you have done to him but I tell you something, you better keep your hands off him. We have enough troubles so we don't need more. And now get out!" I couldn't believe it and I had the feeling that Seth was at the same point. On one side I felt the urge to tell Roman some things but I wasn't in the right mood, so I just nodded and left.
I haven't been back at my own locker for long when someone knocked at the door. I felt my heart as I wished it would be Dean. But it was Seth and I wasn't that pleased. He seemed to notice it: "Please, can I come in?" I turned around so he could enter the room. We sat down on the couch and it was completely silent for a few moments. Then he began: "I don't know how to say and please don't get anything wrong. But I worry about you, even if I haven't really a clue what's going on here I'm able to notice that things take a negative turn. I'm afraid if nothing happens we can't go on as The Shield. Roman will be the first on to quit this. And I'm not only worrying about you it's also about Dean. I don't want another horror to happen. So would you tell me what's really the matter?" I knew that I had no choice cause all he said was true so I told him about earlier: "The match. He surprisingly won but Sheamus attacked me hardly after it and Dean came to my rescue. He has beaten him until he was passed out and they brought him to the hospital. Yeah then we got faced by the whole bosses and I could fortunately convince them not to fire him. I think he wished you guys would have come out to help and now he's pissed cause you didn't even watch the match. And honestly I can understand him." Seth looked away, trying to put the right words together: "I can't believe that really happened. Okay it was our mistake not to watch the match backstage but...you know the point is I guess every action would have been the wrong one. Now he's pissed cause we didn't come out but if we had done it I'm sure he would be also pissed cause we didn't let him do his own thing. That's Dean...it's not easy to handle him and sometimes you can't find the right way cause there is none." I nodded: "Yeah that may be true. But I think he knows that and his problem now isn't cause you didn't help him it's cause you haven't watched the match. You guys are his friends and I'm sure he thought you would watch him in an important single match like it was." Now Seth seemed to understand, he only mumbled "Shit" in a low voice. I said: "It will be okay, I'll try to talk with him later." After another quiet time he asked: "Has Sheamus hurt you much? I never thought he would do something like that, I mean you were together." I tried to block this subject: "He did and I thought the same." Seth put his arm around me, saying: "I'm really sorry for that and also for Roman's behavior earlier. I hope everything will be alright again." Then he left and I thought about what to do next.
I decided to talk with Dean right after it so nothing more could go wrong. The first problem I had was to find him cause surely he wasn't at their locker. At the lobby I found Ryback who said unfriendly: "I'm only hoping you come to tell this idiot how to behave right." I gave him an angry look: "If you're talking about Dean, take care of your words." He shrugged: "However, good luck for bringing him back in." Even if I felt the need to punch him in his face I had no time cause I had to go out to see what's with Dean. For real he sat outside on a bench and he wasn't sober anymore. As soon as he realized that I stood beside him he mumbled: "Leave me alone." I shook my head: "Listen, I wanna talk to you. What's wrong now?" He raised his voice: "There's nothing to talk." I tried to protest but he stood up and yelled: "Go the fuck away! Or I..." Dean didn't finish the sentence but for me it was enough to turn around and leave.
