*Roman's P.O.V*
I was woken up the next morning by consistent knocking on my door. I looked at the time, it was only 8:17. I groaned as the knocking continued, getting out of the bed and opening it. Surprise crossed my face, it was my brother, Matt. "Hey Matt, uhh… Not that I'm not happy to see you or anything but uhh…what are you doing here? Did you tell me you where meeting me here?" I asked, confused. "I've got something to show you and I don't think you're going to take it well." he said. It was then that I noticed the seriousness on his face, I raised an eyebrow and moved aside so he could come inside. "What is it? What's wrong?" I asked, he sat on my bed and I sat next to him as he pulled out his phone and handed it to me. It was a video of Caroline with some guy, I didn't know who he was, and she was giving him money. I seen as he looked around, making sure no one was around, and in return he handed her 3 baggies. I couldn't see what was in them, but I was pretty damn sure I knew what the hell it was. Sophia was no where in sight. The video ended and I handed the phone back to Matt.
I could feel his eyes on me, studying my face. Waiting for what I just seen to sink in and it did 2 minutes later. "Oh my God! She's doing drugs around my daughter!" "I caught them a couple of blocks away from her house. I was heading to CrossFit and there they where. I recorded it and once I found out what state you where in I hopped onto the first flight I could get." "I need to call the court house. I need to get full custody of Sophia. Can you send that to me?". Matt nodded and sent it to me. I called the Pensacola Court House and told them the situation, they said that they would handle it when our court date came and to bring whatever evidence I had. I thanked them and hung up. "Oh, I am going to kill that bitch. Can you make the court date?" Matt nodded "yea, I'll be there". There was another knock on the door and I opened it. It was Dean and Seth. "Oh good, you're here, we've got an issue." The two men looked at each other then back to me, "what is it?" asked Dean, I moved aside to let them in, "hey Matt, we didn't know you where coming down." Seth smiled, "it was a little unexpected." he said. I handed them my phone, "look at this." I said. They watched it, curiously, then handed my phone back to me. "Dude, you need to get Sophia out of there and fast." Dean said, Seth agreed. I took a seat on my bed and buried my face in my hands. Then turned to Matt, "Go back to Pensacola tomorrow. Keep an eye on Sophia for me? Please?", he nodded "you don't need to ask, man, she's my niece to. I'll head out on the first flight I can get.".
The guys badgered me about getting breakfast, and I went with them, just to get them off my back. We went to a small café close by the hotel. All through breakfast I couldn't stop watching the video. "Stop watching it." Matt said, I sighed and put my phone back into my pocket. When we got our food I picked at it more than I ate. It was a relief when we finally went back to the hotel. I wanted to be left alone but that didn't stop the three guys from following him back to his room. I sat lost in my own thoughts, accepting the fact that they where not going to leave me alone for a while. I don't know how long I sat there when a thought occurred to me. I shot out of my bed, startling the guys, and grabbed the keys to the Range Rover. "Where are you going?" asked Seth, "Pensacola is only a couple of hours away. I'm going to go and punch that bitch in the face." "Oh, no you don't" Matt said, grabbing my shirt, Dean and Seth moved to stand in front of the door. "I can't just sit here knowing she's using drugs around my daughter!" I glared, Matt glared right back "you can and you will. Go to the gym or something, but do not leave this hotel and do something stupid!". I growled and sat back down, it didn't take me long to find another option. I didn't know why I hadn't thought about it in the first place. "Emma." I spoke, "Emma? Who's Emma?" Matt asked, confused, "She's one of the divas. I'll go and see if she's in her room." Dean said, and left. He came back 2 minutes later, Emma trailing behind him, in yoga pants and a hoodie. She walked over to me, ignoring Seth and Matt. "What's wrong?" she asked, I handed her my phone and she watched the video. She watched it, frowning, then handed me back the phone. "Is that Caroline?" she asked, I nodded, she scoffed "I can't believe it, she's ruining your life just so she can get a quick fix." "Caroline is a crazy bitch, she always as been…" I mumbled and stood up again "…I need to go for a walk or something. Em, do you mind coming with me?" "of course not" she said, she bid goodbye to the others. "Oh, sorry, I didn't introduce you. Emma, that's my brother, Matt. Matt, this is Emma." They smiled at each other and shook hands, then we left for our walk.
The two of us left the hotel and walked wherever our feet carried us. "I really hope you get full custody of Sophia, Roman" "me to, you have no idea how badly I want to go and kill Caroline." "I know, but if you do then your going to be in jail. Then what?" "I know.". We walked for almost two hours, sometimes talking, sometimes in silence, but a comfortable silence, none the less. We walked back to our rooms "do you want me to stay with you?" she asked, I shook my head "I think I could use sometime alone." she nodded in understanding and gave me a hug "alright, you know where I am if you need me." She disappeared into her room and I went into mine. Around 7 o'clock Matt, Seth, and Dean forced me to have dinner before leaving me alone to my thoughts. I spent the next couple of hours looking through all the photos and videos I had of Sophia. I eventually decided it was time to try and get some sleep. I wasn't anywhere close to sleep when there was a quiet knock on the door.
*Emma's P.O.V*
I was surprised when Dean came to mine and Kaitlyns room and said that something had happened and Roman needed me. I had stood in the hotel that day, simply to tired to want to go out. I grabbed my key card quickly and made sure I had my phone before heading out of the room and into Romans. I couldn't believe what he had showed me. I went for a walk with him and when we got back to the hotel I let him be alone, but as time passed I couldn't help but wonder about him. I had dinner with Kaitlyn in our room and packed our stuff to leave early tomorrow morning for Raw in West Virginia. She fell asleep at almost around 10 but I couldn't sleep. I got out of bed quietly and put on my slipper boots and grabbed my key and phone and slid out of the room. I knocked on Romans door and he answered looking confused, "still want to be alone?" I asked, he shook his head and let me in. He laid in his bed and I laid next to him. It was then that I heard his sobs as he finally broke down. He laid his head on my shoulder and I held him as he let out what he's been holding in. I felt tears sting my eyes as I listened to him. I felt helpless that I couldn't help him. His daughter was his world and knowing that her mother wasn't caring for her the way she should was eating away at him. This man, who always looked so tough, focused, unbreakable, intimidating, was made of glass, and right now that glass was shattered. It was almost dawn when the both of us finally fell asleep.
