"Ahem… I thought I said there was an off limits room Ambrose". I visibly jumped, quickly neatening up the box. "I was looking for the bathroom and went right instead of left. I'm so sorry" I look up at Emily apologetically. "It's fine, these things happen Dean… I suppose I should explain myself, huh? Well let's head down stairs and I'll tell you all about it"….
Emily's P.O.V
As we headed downstairs and Dean sat on the sofa, I felt my pulse quicken. Barely anybody knows about this, except for my family and Becky. Now I am about to sit down and tell a stranger. Let's just get this out of the way…As I sit down opposite him, I can feel Dean staring at me, waiting for me to speak. "Right… Basically, I have been living alone for about two years. As I told you before, my best friend moved away for university. But before that, she used to stay with me. My mum and dad passed away about three years ago, the day before my 18th birthday…" I paused for a moment to contain myself, and I felt my sofa sag as Dean moved next to me, prepared to comfort me. "I'm so sorry, Emily. Do you mind me asking how it happened?" Dean murmured, as he took one of my hands into his. "My parents went out in their car to pick up my birthday surprise. They never came home. I found out that they were in a car accident with a drunk driver on the way home. It turns out that they were picking up tickets to a WWE event from a friend who had been hiding them from me. The only thing I had ever asked for, and it lead to my parents being killed." "Emily, that was in no way your fault. It was the asshole who was drunk- driving. He didn't walk away from the collision did he?" "Yeah, he walked away. Well, kind of. He had a broken leg, a couple of broken ribs and cuts on his face." "What the fuck. He doesn't deserve to get away with killing two people!" "Oh, he didn't. He's currently serving time for manslaughter and death by dangerous driving. He won't be free for a very long time. Anyway," I said as I stood up, wanting to change the subject, "Time for bed. You are more than welcome to stay downstairs, or you can head up yourself". Dean thinks for a moment. "I'll head up now. Maybe you can actually show me the right way to go!" I laughed as I helped pull him up. "Follow me then, Mr. Ambrose".
Dean's P.O.V
My heart broke for Emily as she told me what happened to her parents. When she mentioned what happened to the man that caused it, I felt my blood beginning to boil. He was lucky to get away with a prison sentence. His life should have been the price he paid… Why am I getting so emotional about this? I barely even know Emily. Emily snapped me out of it when we reached my room for the night. "This is your stop. Again, I apologise for the bed covers. Good night Dean" She smiled sadly as she walked to the room next to mine. I pushed the door open and put my jacket on a chair. I couldn't help bursting out in laughter when I looked at the bed covers. Stone Cold Steve Austin was staring up at me. I stripped down to my boxers and climbed in bed, the fatigue suddenly catching up with me. My last thought before I closed my eyes was of the picture of Emily with her parents, sporting a beautiful smile.
Emily's P.O.V
It wasn't long before I had put on my bed shirt and crawled into my warm duvet. I suddenly remembered the writing on my hand and punched Brie's number into my phone before it wore off.
E: Hi Brie, you probably don't remember me, but its Emily from earlier. Thanks for your number. I need some advice if possible? Xoxo
Pretty much instantly, my phone buzzed with a reply. As I picked it up, it buzzed with a second message. The first message read:
B: Oh hi Emily, I didn't think you would remember to message me! You're welcome, how can I help you?
The second message was creating a group conversation with myself, Brie and an unknown number:
B: Nicole, you need to stop being so damned nosy.
#: Well BRIANNA, I am your sister, we share everything. Besides, I already said to Emily that I would get her number from you. So what's up girl? I'm sure we can help you out!
I smiled to myself as I read the brief exchange between Brie and Nikki. I swiftly tapped in a response:
E: It's fine Brie! Basically, I don't know how much you know about this, but Hunter and Stephanie (by way of apology) have offered me a once in a lifetime opportunity to travel with you guys for a while. But I don't know if I can afford to leave my business. Yeah it's mobile, but I don't think there's much of a need for it with you guys.
N: What?! That's amazing! How long for, a week or two?
E: More like a year…
B: THAT'S AMAZING! No one has ever received an opportunity like that before. They must be desperate for you not to sue.
N: Not that you ever would, right Brianna?
B: Oh of course! I didn't mean to sound harsh! So what's your business Emily?
E: I'm a mobile hair and beauty technician. I want to be useful to the company whilst I'm there, but I'm sure there wouldn't be a space on the team for me!
N: That is fantastic. Take Hunter and Steph up on the offer, please. Brie and I will work on the work side of things.
B: For once, I agree with Nicole. Do it. No one receives opportunities like this with the company. Besides, I'm sure that Dean would love to travel the road with you ;)
E: What do you mean? Dean was just showing me around the backstage area.
N: Oh come on, everyone saw the way he looked at you. Anyway, Roman told us you went for dinner, and it's late and Dean is not back at the hotel yet. I am sure he is still with you.
E: He felt bad for hurting me, so he insisted we go out for dinner. But because I was knocked out, he had to drive my car. I didn't want him to take a cab home. Don't get too excited though, he is in my spare room.
B: Very exciting! He hasn't really been seen with a girl for a long time. You must mean something to him! Nicole, you and I have to get some beauty sleep. We have the Smackdown taping tomorrow. Goodnight Emily! Hopefully see you on the road!
N: You need more beauty sleep than me, but we do have the taping tomorrow. Night Em, see you soon! Have a good night with Ambrose ;)
E: Oh haha girls. I'll give the job thing a think and I will let you know, it's a huge decision to make. Goodnight 3 xoxo
I was grinning like an idiot as I plugged my phone into its charger and settled under the covers. I have already seemed to have made friends with two of the company's top Divas, and they want to fight to get me working there. I might have to take up the offer of work. I will have to talk to Dean about it tomorrow. Dean Ambrose… He is sleeping in my house. In the next room. Holy crap. I did a little dance of excitement. This has to be a dream. I close my eyes and drift off, looking forward to the day ahead.
