When they got to Crossfit they stowed their bags into a couple of lockers and went out on the main floor to warm up with the rest of the class. She didn't recognize anyone and Eva was the only one she knew even though she only met her once and that was the night before at the club.

"Okay everyone lets warm up so we can get started," said a tall muscular man with a shaved head and tattoos on his arms. "Eva you look lovely today. Also who is your friend?" he asked.

"Oh this is my roommate Tracy. She is going through a few changes in her life so I said Crossfit it good therapy when things are up in the air," said Eva.

"Nice to meet you Tracy. I'm Jonathan Coyle," he said holding out his hand.

"Tracy James," said Tracy shaking it. She wasn't one to be rude but she couldn't help but notice the looks Eva and Jonathan were giving one another. Does he know what and who he is dealing with. Hell even Tracy knew this was one of those things that she just should avoid. Never piss off the Shield or face the consequences.

"Well Tracy let me show you how to warm out," said Eva taking her by the arm and giving Jonathan a wink. As the two women began to warm up Tracy began to question.

"What the hell was that?" she asked.

"What?" asked Eva.

"Oh please I may be naïve and only eighteen but I saw the way you two were eye fucking one another. Is that why you didn't want what's his face to come?" asked Tracy.

Eva sighed. Even though the girl was young she was smart. She guessed it was her history and her parents. Add the fact she was thrust into something she didn't agree with made her look at everything.

"I'm leaving Jey as soon as I get the nerve. He hasn't hit me or anything and he treats me right, though I just don't have feelings for him even more and I am falling for Jonathan," Eva confessed.

"Whoa! I was not expecting that one. Though listen I am going to tell you this straight up. If Roman asked I am not going to lie. I am going to be completely honest. If it's Jey I am not going to say anything but with my relationship I am going to be honest about everything. That way there is no surprises in the end. Mine is a little bit different than yours," said Tracy.

"I understand! Now lets get our workout on," said Eva as the two women followed the rest of the group as Jonathan started the Workout of the day.

Tracy couldn't believe the blatant flirtation those two were doing. I mean Tampa wasn't a small country town but it wasn't so large no knew about the Shield either. She couldn't believe she was put in this position and she was ready just to call someone to come get her.

When Jonathan had a hand on Eva's ass she couldn't take anymore. Walking out she called her parents to come get her and take her home.

"Hello,"

"Hey mom. Could you are Dave come and pick me up? I am at Fitness Inn Crossfits. I was put in an awkward position based on my new relationship," said Tracy.

"Dave will come get you. Watch for his white H2," said Belinda.

"Will do," said Tracy hanging up the phone as she zipped up her hoodie and sat outside and waited. She decided to call Roman and let him know some of what was going on.

"Hello,"

"Hey it's Tracy. The short of it Crossfit isn't really for me so I called my parents and my step dad is picking me up and we may go out for dinner or something with my mom and then I will be home," she said.

"That Coyle Character?" asked Roman.

"You knew?" asked Tracy.

"People around Tampa talk. I haven't told Jey yet because he has a temper that my not be worse than mine but it goes off easily. I'm waiting for her to finally come clean to what's going on before someone tells him. Thank you for being honest with me. It makes me feel a lot better about me allowing you to do things and go places," said Roman.

Allow? What the fuck she was out of her parents house and in college? She should be able to go places and do things with her friends within reason. Though she remembered that Roman was a feral and they were different than a lot of men. Even the Alpha men. She was glad she could go to her mom and Renee and bounce things off of them because her mom got it and Renee understood about be controlled and what was over the top and what was just an overprotective feral.

"Well I always say if you are in a relationship hide nothing and if you do have something to hide come clean or break it off. Without trust there is no relationship. I learned that a long time ago with my parents. Mom thought dad was sleeping with this woman named Tori. She had no proof but she always accused. Because of the lack of trust and the fact mom wanted more out of life than what my dad was giving her she took me and booked it to Tampa after filing for divorce," said Tracy.

"I am falling more and more for you and to be honest its getting harder and harder not to just take you, but because you have never been with a man and you are not used to being in a relationship with a feral and finally you are not ready yet I am holding off. Though I want to do other things," said Roman as Dave's hummer pulled up.

Getting into the car she continued the conversation as she closed the passenger side door and put on her seatbelt. Dave just drove her to his house that he shared with her mom. He figured he could grill some steaks and let the mother and daughter talk. Though he was going to watch his alcohol intake so he would be able to drive Tracy to her new place afterwards.

"Ummm like what? I'm nervous," said Tracy giving Dave a look as he raised his eyebrows in question at the one sided conversation he was hearing with his stepdaughter and whoever she was on the phone with.

"Well like giving you the most intense pleasure you have ever had in your entire life. Taking showers together so we can explore one another, also maybe sitting in the large tub I have in the bathroom together with a glass of bubbly. I'll go slow but there are so many things I want to do with you," said Roman.

"Okay you are scaring me now, and not in a bad way. Its hard to explain it and I don't really feel comfortable talking about this right now since I am in the car with my step dad. Can we talk later? Just talk," Tracy added.

"See you at home baby girl," Roman said before he hung up the phone.

"Do I even want to ask what that conversation was about?" asked Dave.

"No its not one I feel comfortable talking about with you. It's more a conversation to have with mom and my closest girlfriends," said Tracy.

"So what made you call your mom to come get you? Did you not like Crossfit or something?" asked Dave.

"No I liked it a lot. I just didn't like being used as a front for cheating on someone's boyfriend. Here I thought that she wanted to get to know me and show me something different but it turned out to be a way to make Seth stay home so he wouldn't find out that she had another man on the side. I don't want involved in that so I just left," said Tracy.

"That was pretty smart. I'm glad that you did that. Though I am going to swing by and pick up your mom because we have some things we need to tell you and I figured a family dinner would be the way to do it. It was something that has been in the air for a long time but your mom was holding off because school and you wanted to move back to Nashville to pursue your country dreams, now that things have changed we figured this was a good time," said Dave as he pulled into the driveway of their house. Belinda got into the car after Tracy moved to the back seat.

"Where are we going? I'm not really dressed for a fancy restaurant," said Tracy.

"Oh we are just going to a little casual beachside bar and grill that serves everything from Lobster, to burgers, to steaks," said Dave as he drove.


Twenty minutes later the three were sitting outside on the patio looking out over the Gulf. Dave began to speak first. "Listen I got off the phone with Dana a few weeks ago and he wants all of his competitors to move to where UFC Headquarters is," he stared.

"Okay where is that? Please say its close. Maybe an hour or two away at the most," said Tracy.

"It's in Las Vegas Nevada," said Dave.

"What! When!" Tracy exclaimed.

"Five days," said Belinda.

"Five days? That isn't long enough o do anything. So am I moving with you?" asked Tracy hoping they said yes.

"You have a life here in Tampa honey," said Belinda.

"No! I can make new friends, I can transfer schools. I cannot believe you are leaving me during the most scariest transition in my life. Yes without that one thing I could easily get an apartment with Sasha and Charlotte or I could live with John and Nicole but I cant. I always thought that you would be here so I could come over and talk if I got scared. You know what its like mom and now I won't have you in the same town. I am stuck here while you are moving all the fucking way across the country!" Tracy exclaimed hitting the table in frustration.

"Sweetie you will be fine. Take it from me you are going to be fine," said Belinda putting a hand on her arm.

"Well can I at least have one of your three cars? I don't want to rely on him for a car to get to and from class and wherever else I need to go," said Tracy wiping the tears from her eyes.

"Which one?" asked Dave. "My hummer is off limits so that leaves the Mercedes convertible and the Navy Blue Navigator," he added.

"The Navigator. Sorry I like a big car. When I can afford to by my own I will have it shipped to Vegas. Though that won't be until after I start my business. Though I want you both to come to the grand opening whenever that happens," said Tracy.

"We'll be there. Just make sure its not on a night Dave has a fight," said Belinda.

"I can't do this. I cannot be all the way across the country from you guys and add the fact I have no idea where dad is. This is just too hard," said Tracy crying a bit. Both Dave and Belinda hugged her.

Later on they stopped by the house so Dave could give Tracy the Navigator. She wanted to have a glass of wine but she figured that Roman wouldn't like it if she stayed the night at her parents and she refused to drink and drive.

"Hey you will be fine and we have five days before we go. You can come over all the time and help us get things together and maybe there might be a few things here at the house that you might want," said Belinda hugging her. Tracy hugged Dave and then she got into the Navigator and drove back to her new place.

After she pulled up she just sat in the driveway and put her head on the steering wheel and sobbed. Why did her mom and step dad have to move all the way across the fucking country when she was going through one of the scariest transitions of her life. Yes she was eighteen but she still needed Belinda and Dave Bautista.

A/N: A lot going on in this chapter. Think Tracy can cope with her parents moving cross country due to his job? What about Eva and Jonathan? Hope you enjoy!
