Hey. I have no clue where I'm going with this story... I have like chapter 12 done, but not 11 and I'm confusing myself... that was a stupid idea so here's chapter 10. I have marching band all next week, so I don't know when I'll update again, maybe next Saturday, maybe before I head out the door. I don't know. Enjoy! I feel like I've said it enough, but just incase, I CLAIM NO OWNERSHIP OF THE WWE! NOTHING IS MINE, JUST THE STORYLINE AND THAT'S IFFY!
Smackdown rolled around and Dean was back, and he was livid. Pacing around and hitting his head with his hand. He called Seth out, but got Kane instead. He came back to the dressing room mad and angry. I sat back and watched as Roman's eyes followed Dean back and forth. Ambrose was angry at everything. Suddenly, he whirled around, punching Roman in the face, hard. I jumped up and got between them, facing Roman to hold him back, my back to Dean.
"What the hell!" Roman said, holding his jaw.
"Where the hell were you! They were kicking my ass and Jojo almost got choke slammed trying to help me!"
"I came as fast as I could! Ain't my fault you guys were in the furthest room from the ring!" Roman yelled back, them both shoving against me. Dean reached around me and socked Roman again, hitting me in the side of the head with his elbow-pit. Roman shoved me to the side and went after Dean, shoving him into the wall. I pushed my way in-between them, again.
"Enough! Dean, stop punching him, he came as quickly as he could. So stop."
"He sure took his sweet ass time! All buddy buddy with Cena! What if Seth couldn't call Kane off? Kane could and would hurt her bad! He don't care!" Again Dean reached around me and punched Roman.
"I tried! I'm sorry dude! Stop hitting me" Roman said in his calm voice.
"Well! Sorry don't cut that you abandoned us like Seth did!" Dean roared, getting angry at Roman's calmness.
"You know what? Fuck this. I'll see you Monday." Roman started packing his stuff and stormed out. Leaving.
"Well your fucking stupid! What are you going to do later in your match against Kane later? You know Seth's going to be forced to come out! I'm not that much help!" I shrieked. Dean shrugged, shooing me out. I stormed off, running into Nikki, who was wearing a ref outfit.
"Hey Jojo! Good to see you back! Oh my god! I love your outfit! The shred affect to your top is so cute!" Nikki gushed, giving me a hug.
"Thanks. Why are you wearing that?" I asked.
"Steph wants me to ref the diva's match. Alicia fox against Eva Marie."
"Want me to come out and help if Alicia starts attacking you?"
"No. Eva will help me, but thanks! Oh it's next, see you in a bit!" Nikki hurried off. I shrugged, walking to the eating area and grabbing a water, still mad. Dean's just dug himself into a hole. I can fight Seth, but not Kane. Kane will hurt me bad. I sat next to Naomi, who was alone.
"Hey." I said. She looked odd without Cameron by her side.
"Hey." She crossed her arms. I pulled my legs up on the chair. Watching the Diva's match, a little mad Eva didn't tell me she had a match. It started out ok, Eva getting mad when she only got a 1 count. She started yelling at Nikki, poking her forehead, still yelling. I felt dread grow as Eva and Alicia attacked Nikki, doubled teaming her.
"Dang. Looks like Eva turned to the authority's side too. Just like Cameron." Naomi got up. discussed. I stormed off to where Eva was coming from, looking happy and smiling with Alicia. I walked up and glared.
"Oh, hey Jojo." She said, nonchalantly, like she did nothing.
"What was that out there? She's our friend! How could you turn on her?" I demanded. Stomping my foot.
"I was doing what was best for business." She said back. Glaring down at me.
"Why?" I demanded,
"I'm sick of you having the spotlight! All you did was take a dare from me then suddenly you got a push! All from screwing Seth! You got a diva's title shot!" She yelled.
"I didn't get all that from screwing Seth! This has nothing to do with Seth! I got a title shot because I'm good! In case you haven't noticed!"
"No you're not! Your lucky!"
"I am not! I work my ass off every fucking day! I know you've been talking about me behind my back! Calling me Seth's screwbuddy!" I stood on my tip toes. Eva shoved me back.
"Whatever. I don't need you."
"Your making a big mistake Eva. Your selling out." I called to her as she walked down the hall, she sent me a middle finger and it hurt.
"You have till next Smackdown to move your shit out!" Eva yelled back. I froze.
"Can I have time to find a place to stay?" I begged. She shook her head no.
"Nope. You have till Friday, or I'm calling the cops." With that she walked away. When we got the place, I was too young to have my name on the lease, so she's the only one on there. I felt tears prickle in my eyes. But pushed them down. Turning on my heel and storming in the opposite direction. I was so pissed, that I was looking at the ground and I ran into someone. A big someone. 7ft tall, 320lbs of the devils favorite demon. I gulped. Stepping back. Holding my hands up. A camera came out of nowhere and I knew this was being televised to the crowd.
"I'm sorry." I stuttered out, afraid. He was alone and no one was there to tell him to leave me alone. He started coming towards me. In a mensing manner. I stumbled back, running into a wall. He glared. When his hand suddenly jerked out and grabbed my chin, pulling me up the wall till I was his height. My feet two feet off the ground. I grabbed his arm terrified.
"You kicked me in my groin Monday. And elbowed me." He said, in his scary voice. I whimpered.
"I'm sorry." I felt his grip tighten.
"You know why I'm called the Devil's favorite demon?" He asked. I shook my head no. "I have no remorse. I buried my brother alive twice, without a single second thought." He pulled me away from the wall, holding me with one arm. I started kicking my legs out, hitting him in the nuts again, He dropped me, I fell to my butt and went to scurry away, but he caught me by my hair, jerking me back. I let out a shriek as he jerked me harder, slamming me into the wall, muffling my shriek with his hand. He suddenly pushed a curl off my forehead. Staring at me. Staring straight into my eyes. His being two colors. One being a glassy blue and the other being brown. I cringed back as his hand rested on my cheek.
"Seth's right. You do have fire." He leaned closer, "I like it." Suddenly there was a slapping of a chair and I grunted as Kane fell forward, crushing me to the wall. There was another slap and Kane fell to the right of me, Dean standing in front of me, holding a chair. I clutched at his vest thing, leaning into his back, scared and shaking. Close to loosing it.
"Ain't nobody gonna hurt her." Dean held the chair up, ready to hit Kane again. Kane laughed and held his side. Walking away, still laughing. I sank to the floor, in shock. "Oh shit. I'll go get Eva, I can't deal with this." Dean went to go,
"She hates me! She just threw me out and I got to find another place to live an-and Kane touched my face, telling me I had a fire and Roman left and this is all fucked up!" I put my head in my knees.
"I'm getting Nattie. Nattie like's you right?" He asked, looking uncomfortable. I nodded. Putting my head back in my knees. Dean ran off, looking for the blonde. I kept my head down, the camera leaving, I tucked myself deeper into a corner. "Found her." I heard Dean say.
"Oh my god! Jojo! What's wrong with her!" Nattie asked, crouching next to me.
"Eva threw me out and Kane touched my face, saying I had fire and Roman left." I said again, feeling myself shut down. Nattie pulling me into a hug.
"Aww Sweetheart. It's ok. It'll be ok." Nattie rocked me back and forth. "What do you mean Eva threw you out?" I sniffled.
"We got in a fight, and she told me I got till next Friday to be moved out." I said, not allowing myself to cry.
"Oh my! What's wrong with Jojo?" Naomi crouched by me too. Nattie gave her the lay down as I sat there. Dean was sitting in the chair, looking very out-of-place. Naomi patted my shoulder.
"Just go back with your parents." She offered. I shook my head.
"They threw me out." I hiccupped.
"Why?"
"My dad hated me for joining NXT. He told me that if I walked out that door, not to come back unless I gave up on my dream and come back to reality! And I rather be hit with a chair again than give this dream up," I said, my stubbornness coming out,
"Come stay with me and Tj." Nattie offered. I shook my head.
"I ain't staying with no one. I'm finding my place. I've wanted to move anyway. I'll figure it out." I gave a thumbs up. Smiling.
"But honey, how will you find a place in a week?"
"I'll figure it out. I will. I appreciate your support and offer, but I got this Nattie." I looked up and Dean was gone. I shrugged as Naomi helped me up.
"Want me to get Jimmy and Jey to help you move?" Naomi offered. I nodded.
"Yeah. I'll rent a storage unit to keep my stuff till I find a place." I hugged her. Walking back to Dean's dressing room, sitting down and holding my knees to my chest, wondering where he went.
*Dean's pov* *Yay! Switching it up again, starting where Jojo is being attacked or whatever by Kane.*
"Stupid Roman, stupid Seth. Stupid Randy, stupid Kane. Stupid wall." I muttered to myself as I stalked around backstage. When a shriek caused me to jerk my head, it sounded like Jojo. I grabbed the nearest chair, since I didn't know how many people and ran toward the sound. I saw Kane hunched over a curly-haired girl, I swung the chair, hitting him in the back. I heard Jojo grunt when Kane crushed her, so I changed tactics and hit him in the side, knocking him away from Jojo, standing in front of her, protective. I ain't breaking my promise again. I felt her clutch at my vest, shaking.
"Ain't nobody gonna to hurt her." I threatened, holding my chair up higher, Kane just laughed, walking away, laughing. I turned to face Jojo. She had sunk to the ground and was in shock. Shit. I don't know what to do, and I pointed that out, telling her I would go get her red-headed friend, but her voice stopped me. Eva had thrown her out, Kane had a crush on her and Roman left. I mentally thought of all the people she was close to and Nattie was the first one to pop in my head, actually, Seth did, but I crossed him off.
"I'm getting Nattie. She like's you right?" Jojo nodded, still staring at a wall. I took off, looking for Nattie. I asked random people, probably looking like a loon, but not caring. I finally found her in the cafeteria, I jerked her arm pulling her away from Tyson.
"What the hell Dean, I'm eating." Nattie sputtered out, Tyson moving in front of me.
"Jojo's about to freak, no time to explain. Let's move!" I pulled her to where Jojo was still curled in a ball in the corner. She explained what happened and Nattie started calming her down. I sat down in my swinging chair, feeling out-of-place. Girls who are about to cry ain't my thing. Ain't never been able to deal with one. Naomi showed up and was in the loop, offering her boyfriend and his brother to help with moving. Jojo telling them that her parents threw her out. I left, going to confront Eva, hating her. I spotted her talking with Cameron and Alicia.
"Yeah. I just threw the little brat out. Tired of her dead weight. She wasn't even paying her half of the rent." I stormed over, interrupting her.
"Yeah. cause you bet her that if she won her open challenge, she won't have to pay. Now what the fuck is your issue. Why did you throw her out! You know fucking well that she is too young to be able to sign a lease!" I yelled, staring at her.
"That's her problem now. I'm sick of her fame because of her screwing a member of the shield."
"Bull shit!" I roared, seeing red. "She's fucking good, one of the most determined divas I've ever met! Did you see what she did Monday? She tried to take on Kane, Seth and Randy for me! She had more guts than you boobs!" She suddenly reached out and slapped me. Hard. I reeled my head back to face her. Hitting my face. "Come on! That all you got? Hit me again!" I said, feeling the crazy rising. Eva looked confused, but slapped me again harder. "Pussy." I muttered and turned to walk away.
"Fuck tard!" She screamed at me. I shrugged. Walking back to my locker room. Jojo sat there, curled into herself.
"Hey. You'll be fine." I said. She shrugged, pulling her legs closer to her body. A man came back and said my match was up. "Ok. Stay here and don't come out, ok?" She shrugged again. I shook it off and headed down to my match. I threw caution to the wind, not caring about my shoulder. I did a suicide dive on to Kane, and hit my shoulder hard on his head. Kane threw me hard into the steps, then setting me with for a tombstone. Hell no. Ain't going down like that. I wiggled and pushed him headfirst into the post, giving me time to breathe, but before I could capitalize, Seth hit me with the briefcase. I fell, not expecting it, it wasn't a hard, but I was unsteady anyways. He fake punched me, showing his knee was better. He rolled me in the ring, I laid there as I heard the steel steps being put in. I quickly tackled Seth, showing I had fight left, but Kane grabbed me and choke slammed me. I groaned, not knowing how Jojo could take these. I felt Kane grab my hair, I was in front of the stairs, the step to me. I was laid down, I got ready for the curbstomp when suddenly, I felt a weight on me and saw curly hair hanging in my eyes. Knowing Jojo was shielding me with her body, "Git out of here mini, I can handle it." I groaned as I was laying on the steel steps. She continued to stay on top of me, knowing Seth wouldn't curbstomp her, no way, no how. I look and saw Kane try to pull her, but she held on to the stairs handles, not letting go. I could faintly hear JBL calling Jojo stupid and Cole asking how is she stupid for protecting a friend.
"Just stomp her too!" I heard Kane yell at Seth,
"Nah dude, I can't jump that high." Seth lied.
"Then help me get her off him!" Kane yelled again.
"No. Let's just go. He's beat." I guessed Seth and Kane left because I felt Jojo get off me, sitting back on her knees, in a weird w position. Suddenly Kane grabbed her, lifting her up, She shrieked as he choke slammed her on to the steel stairs that I just rolled off. I went to attack him, but Kane just kicked me down. I laid down, my head ringing and shoulder in pain. I heard Jojo whimpering in pain, I tried to get to her, not wanting to break my promise. But Kane kicked me down as he lifted her up again. I heard her connect with the steel stairs again and Kane finally left. I finally gathered the strength to pull myself to my knees, seeing her curled in a ball. I bumped her, helping her sit up.
"I'm sorry." She muttered. Standing shaky to her feet, cringing, but holding her hand out to me. I grabbed it and she pulled me to my feet. I held my shoulder, still pissed that she got hurt, again, because of me. I held the ropes open as she slowly climbed out, still in pain. She walked slowly up the ramp, I walked just as slowly. Finally making it to the back. Jojo, that girl amazes me. She's been thrown through the wringer and life just loves to kick her while she's down, but she still treks on. Putting others before her. Seth's one lucky son of a bitch. He better not screw this up. I'll have to beat his face in. It was weird, not seeing her flocked by Eva, her being worried about her. I knew where to go, a place where Seth, Roman and I have secret meetings. I slowly slipped away from Jojo, walking pass other superstars, leaving. I turned down a back room, climbing a ladder to the rafters, no body's going to be up there till tomorrow for tear down. I walked carefully around the rafter, seeing Seth with his head in his arms, straddling a beam. I sat next to him.
"Where the fuck was Roman?" He demanded, not looking at me.
"I pissed him off and he left." I admitted. Seth slowly moved so he was facing me.
"What the hell man!"
"I was mad at him for not coming sooner! It ain't my fault he left! She's hurt." I muttered the last part.
"No dip! She just got fucking choke slammed twice into the steel steps!"
"No, before. Eva and her got into it and Eva threw her out. I say we move the plan to battleground. We're falling apart bad bro. She's losing it. She needs you and Roman and I need you to break up our arguments, you are the peacemaker in the Shield."
"We can't. Romans in that Fatal four-way for the titles, and I can't ask him to give that up. No way. And we got that match together."
"I'll get myself escorted out. We ain't fighting."
"Thanks, but make sure to attack me backstage. Make it look real, and if I got to curbstomp you, remember to throw your arms up, it'll lessen the blow."
"Got it bro." Seth went silent for a moment.
"Could you go get her for me? I need to talk to her before I have to head out." I nodded, moving down the beam back to the ladder,
"Hey, I'm sorry I broke my promise again. She wasn't suppose to come out."
"Hey, no big deal. She's so stubborn and protective. It ain't your fault. It's mine. I should have made sure Kane was in front of me, then I could have stopped him." I climbed down the ladder quickly and hurried to find Jojo, seeing her sitting on a box, looking broken and sad. I grabbed her arm and lead her back to the ladder, she looked confused, but I mouthed Seth and she was up that ladder quicker than I thought was possible, I climbed slower, wanting to give them a little time to themselves. I poked my head and she was crying into his shoulder, her hands curled around his shirt. He held her tightly, just letting her cry. I never saw Jojo cry, only when she's really angry or sad, but that's just a few tears running down her face. This was a deep, gut-wrenching sob she was doing. It was a weird sight. Her shoulders were shaking and she was burrowing her head into Seth shoulder and he just held her, not saying anything, but saying everything all at the same time. I just watched the scene as Seth accidentally went to rub her back and she froze. Seth instantly put his hand down and lifted her shirt up, since there was a light directly above us, I could see her back was bruising bad. She sniffled again. Seth held her tighter, being careful of her back, I could faintly hear him whispering apologizes into her ears, I felt bad. I listened in to their conversation, being nosy.
"It's just all messed up, Seth! I-I just don't know what to do. Every where I turn, someone is stabbing me in the back! I just feel like it's only a matter of time before Roman and Dean get sick of helping me and just leave me too!" She cried. I felt bad. We wouldn't do that. I saw Seth eyebrows scrunch together, a sign he was thinking.
"Hey, they would never do that. They are loyal to theirs, and your considered one of them."
"I've known Eva for 3 years and we've lived together for 2 years and she still dropped me and kicked me out!" I heard her hiccup, gasping as she was still crying.
"Hey, she's just being dumb. Remember, you told me she was never a long-term thinker, she's going to realize soon that she dropped the best friend she's ever going to have."
"I'm a horrible friend." Seth shook his head.
"No you're not. You're caring, selfless, honest and tough."
"I'm so caught up in my troubles, I neglected Eva. I didn't show her enough support."
"How much support has she given you? Friendship is a two-way street. How many times has she been there for you? From what I see, she left you for alone for a week when you had broken ribs."
"She had to go to home." Jojo jerked away from Seth, jumping to Eva's defense. This was getting interesting.
"Why are you defending her? She's been talking behind your back for a while now!." Seth almost yelled, but toned it down. I leaned back, nodding. I've heard shit about Jojo for almost a year now. All stemming from Eva and Cameron gossip ring.
"She may not want to be mine, but I'm still hers." Jojo said simply. Seth shook his head, looking amazed.
"You amaze me sometimes. Come here." Seth gently pulled her by her arm, till she was seating back in his arms. "Now tell me about something."
"What exactly?"
"I don't know. Tell me about your family." Then Seth cringed, same time Jojo did. "I mean if you want to." Seth quickly said. I remember from earlier, Jojo said she was thrown out. So I'm guessing she don't have a close family.
"I don't want to talk about it. They hate me and that's all." She muttered the last part.
"Hey, We're your family now." Jojo and Seth both jumped and looked at me. I waved and moved closer. Jojo glared at me.
"We could've fell!" She scolded. I shook my head,
"Look at Seth's waist." I pointed to the harness. "You ain't falling as long as Seth's holding you."
"Well, where's yours then?" She crossed her arms.
"I ain't wearing one." I said, like it was so obvious. She shook her head and leaned more into Seth, her head on his shoulder, cringing when she shifted wrong. "Hey, I'm sorry you got choke slammed. I should have done something." I felt bad, being choke slammed before her and Kane got her up way higher than me and slammed her on to the steel steps. She shrugged,
"You didn't get curbstomped. That's all that matters." She said simply.
"So? I told you not to come out! Why can't you listen?" I stressed, a little mad she didn't listen.
"I know it Seth hates to curbstomp you. I'm completely fine with taking a couple of choke-slams to prevent that." She shrugged, then cringed.
"Well, thanks, but stop. Kane can really hurt you. I'm ok with taking a few curbstomps, I got a thick skull, I can take them." I turned to straddle the beam, looking straight in her eye. "So stop putting yourself in danger for me. I can take care of myself."
"If I can help, I'm helping. I need to prove myself. I just need to prove them wrong." She glared. Crossing her arms.
"Hey, cool it. We just don't want you getting hurt." Seth tried to cool her down, but she jerked her head to face him.
"Oh, but it's completely ok for Dean to risk permanent injury to his shoulder?" She demanded, glaring at Seth. Seth looked shocked. "I ain't a little girl, I can handle myself."
"Obviously not." I muttered, not meaning for her to hear me. She glared back at me and scooted away from Seth.
"Let me pass." She demanded. I scooted back till I was to the base and scooted to the left, letting her pass and to the ladder, which she stomped down.
"Well. I'm going to hear about this later, thanks Dean." Seth muttered, leaning against the post, looking annoyed.
"Hey, just pointing out the obvious." I said, leaning forward on my hands, shrugging.
"So, how are you and Paige doing?" I shrugged again.
"Since she lost the title, she's been different, a bad different. She ain't the same girl I started dating 4 weeks ago."
"Different how?"
"She doesn't talk to me anymore, and when she does, it's about her friendship with Aj and how she still friends with her, but attacks her every chance she gets. She's just turning crazier than me."
"And that's saying something. Just break up with her." Seth said, unhooking his harness.
"No, she'll come around. I'm gonna head out. See you Monday." I climbed down the ladder, still mad about Roman ditching us and leaving. I saw Jojo and Eva arguing, I walked closer, catching the tail end of the argument.
"Just drop me off at the airport! Come on Eva! It's the least you can do!" Jojo was on her tiptoes, trying to seem taller.
"I rented the car, you can walk your ass to the airport. I don't care."
"Eva!"
"Ride with Dean or Roman."
"Roman left and Dean rode his motorcycle! Paige is riding with him!"
"I'll give you a ride, if you beg." I saw Eva smirk down on her, I leaned against the wall, just listening.
"You know what," Jojo's hand jerked out and she slapped Eva right across the face. "Fuck you. I rather walk than ride with you anyway." She walked past Eva shouldering her bag and storming off. I laughed and felt someone on my side. I saw dark hair and knew it was Paige. She wormed herself under my right arm, her arms wrapping around my waist.
"Hey, I'm sorry. I've been so obsessed with Aj and the title. I'm the worst girlfriend in history." She said, her head on my shoulder. I kissed her temple.
"It's fine. Just please stop with the Aj obsession and go back to being the anti-diva I know."
"I'll try, but I'm getting that title back." She promised. I lead her back to the parking garage.
"That's all I ask." I said, climbing on my bike and patting the back seat, she threw her leg over after tucking her bag into the side bag and we drove off into the night.
Soooo, how do you like it? Thought I'd try something different. Ending it on Dean's POV. I kinda like where Dean's going on WWE right now, His outfit could be better, I feel it's the less sweaty/nasty version of Luke Harper's outfit. Review! I'll figure out where to go with this. Eventually. Ninjafish out! Peace!
