Chapter 9: Brotherly Advice

Seth walked into the arena with one thing on his mind. Sasha. However, the sight he encountered made his blood boil. Rounding the corner, he saw Sasha hugging Roman. What the fuck was she even doing talking to him let alone all in his arms, he thought to himself as he watched their interaction. Roman may have been married but that didn't stop his affect that he had on women. The affect he always would have married or not. Ever since their Shield days he noticed that Roman's presence proceeded him. He had an aura to him that couldn't be replicated or duplicated. So Seth would be damned if that affect translated to rubbing off on Sasha. His reaction could be construed as jealousy but he would beg to strongly differ. As much as he was going to deny his reasoning for what he was about to do, he did it anyway.

Walking up to where Roman and Sasha were, he could tell they both saw the look of disgust on his face. Sasha looked confused, whereas Roman looked nonchalant like he knew exactly what he was thinking. That pissed him off even more and made him want to punch that smug look right off Roman's face.

"Seth what….?"

He walked right past Sasha completely ignoring whatever she was about to say. Stopping directly in front of Roman he squared his shoulders and stared dead into Roman's grey eyes.

"Problem little brother?" Roman asked with a smirk on his face.

Seth felt his body getting hot. Roman knew how much he hated being called little brother. All Dean and Roman did was bully him. Always have and probably always would. He could usually deal with it but today was not the day for Roman to picking on him. He had a point to prove to not only himself but to Sasha.

"Don't call me that." He grumbled back at Roman.

"Well what do you want me to call you little brother." Roman laughed

"Ugh, shut up. You and I need to talk. NOW."

Seth stormed off not waiting on Roman to follow him. He knew Roman was following him because he felt him behind him. Once again there goes Roman's presence proceeding him. God his best friend pissed him off sometimes. Yeah they may not talk as much as they use to but he still considered Roman his best friend. So he was about to come at him friend to friend. When they reached a secluded corner in the backstage area, he turned around so fast that Roman almost ran into him.

"Dude could you stop any more abruptly?"

"You'll be fine. Get over it."

"Seth what is your issue? You came in here all huffin' and puffin' like someone kicked Kevin."

"Don't bring my dog into this, but that's not the point at hand right now."

"Then enlighten me Rollins. What is the damn issue?"

"Don't act like you don't know."

"I don't and I'm really starting to get tired of whatever accusation you're too much of a bitch to insinuate."

"Well since you're too damn dense to understand anything you big blockhead let me spell it out for you. SASHA."

Seth just stared at Roman who looked like he was about to laugh. He could read every emotion coming across the Samoan's face before it settled on incredulous. That big smile came across his face and slowly the laugh followed before Roman was almost falling over in tears. Seth stood there in complete dismay as Roman literally laughed at him.

"What the hell is so funny big dawg?" Seth stomped his foot.

"You…dude….you." Roman barely got out as he tried to catch his breath from laughing so hard.

"What about me bro?"

"Seth you can't be serious right now. You just can't. I swear on my life if you stormed over here looking like you wanted to get buck because of Sasha I will punch you square in your bearded jaw."

Roman went from laughing to serious in a matter of seconds. Seth knew he was serious so now he had to start back tracking because that was the exact reason he came over to Roman. He could've just asked Sasha to talk and clear up the mishap from earlier. But nope, he had to go and get defensive for no reason.

"My bad bro."

"My bad? My bad? That's all you got for that punk ass insinuation that I was screwing your girl? My bad? Okay I'll show you, my bad?"

"I didn't say you screwed her. Chill out Rome, it was mistake."

"You damn right it's a mothafuckin' mistake. I'm not you son. I ain't got my dick, pussy deep in some street hoes from 50 area codes. Seth you have me fucked up once again. Did you even bother to look at Sasha when you walked your bitch ass over here? No you didn't because if you did you'd see that she's torn up over you not taking out the trash once again. Damn it Seth you've got a good one in Sasha and all you do is mess it up. What are you doing fam? Are you asking to be left alone for the rest of your life because that's exactly where you're headed if you don't get your shit together uce."

"I know I screwed up. I know I know I just don't know what to do." Seth said as he ran his hands through his hair.

"Look at me. Some brotherly advice. Your words are shit to her now. However, you're going to have to talk to her to start whatever healing you need to get on. Then after that your actions are going to have to speak louder. You can't go around saying this and that just to have your words fall flat because your actions ain't shit. You've got to grow up uce."

"I don't…"

Roman interrupted him before Seth could finish his sentence.

"Stop with the I don't(s), it's time to start owning your shit and fixing them. All those "I don't(s)," are just cop outs and excuses. Nobody has time for that anymore especially Sasha. You keep playing she'll move on and you'll lose the best thing that has ever happened to you since I met you."

Before Seth could respond, Roman clapped him on his shoulder before walking away. He didn't even know where to start with Sasha. This was beyond a screw up. He fucked his ex without a second thought to Sasha. What made it worse was he begged Sasha to give him a chance hours before. Damn had it really been today. How much could he screw up in the span of 24 hours? He guessed he was finding out today wasn't he. Walking back to where he left Sasha, he saw her sitting on an equipment truck swinging her legs back and forth. She looked so broken sitting there yet beautiful at the same time. He knew he was the reason behind her feeling that way and he'd give anything to fix that. So he threw all his eggs into one basket hoping that one good thing would come out of that day.

"Mind if I join you?"

She looked up at him with sad eyes but she scooted over giving him room to sit next to her. They sat in silence for what seemed like forever. He didn't know what to say and he was racking his brain trying to decide on something that would suffice. Nothing did. So instead he listened to Roman's words and turned to action. Taking out his phone he dialed a number and put it on speakerphone. Grabbing Sasha's hand before she could respond he walked them both outside so they could get some privacy. What he was about to do, absolutely nobody needed to hear except him, Sasha, and the other person on the end of this soon to be destructive phone call.
