Roman was staring down at their sleeping girlfriend while Dean continued to ramble on.
"...Can't believe this shit. After all we've done for her, after all we've been through...To find out that-"
"Tori, wake the fuck up! Now!" Roman shouted. Seth and Dean flinched a little.
She groaned in her sleep. "What did I do this time?"
"You're a slut and liar and bitch." Dean snarled.
She opened one eye and saw Dean, Seth and Roman standing in front of her. She sat up and asked, "What is going on?"
Roman asked, "Who's jacket is that? Its not mines."
"Not mines." Dean added.
She glanced over at Seth. He was standing behind them with a very upset look on his face. He looked more hurt than angry.
Tori took the jacket off her shoulders and said, "Oh shit."
"...When I went for that walk last night, our neighbor saw me and he walked with me. He said he didn't want anything to happen. It was cold out so he gave me the jacket and I forgot to give it back."
Roman asked, "Are you telling the truth? You lie about things a lot."
Tori had to admit, that hurt much worse because Roman said it.
She muttered, "It is the truth. I would never do anything like what you're accusing me of. I never have."
Dean, surprisingly, believed Tori and went to make breakfast. Seth remained silent and was leaning against the wall. Roman still stared at her.
"Who was he?"
"Dolph Ziggler. From-"
"I know where he's from. I'm not stupid like you, baby girl."
She scoffed, "How am I stupid? You think I'm cheating."
"Dolph isn't your friend. He's not like me or Seth or Dean. Dolph only wants to fuck you, then brag about it to everyone. That's the type of guy he is. Nothing like Dean, Seth or myself."
Tori was appalled by Roman's behavior towards her. She looked on the verge of crying.
Seth pulled Roman's arm. "I think you said enough, Ro. Come cuddle with me and leave Tori alone."
Roman remained in his spot. He said, "Its high time someone told you about yourself. Tori, react how you want, because I'm so through with you."
Seth begged him, "Stop Roman. Don't say anything you don't mean."
Even Dean stopped cooking to watch from the kitchen.
"I really hate you. That's the honest truth. I don't know if I want anything to do with you. Don't even come to our locker room tonight. I'm so through."
Tori nodded slowly, "Its okay, I knew that already. I'll call Steph and get a private locker room."
She grabbed her phone, tossed the keys to the apartment on the table, and stormed pass Dean and out the back door.
Jake saw her opening the gate to the alley. "Where are you going, Tori?"
"I dunno, to be honest. I can't be near your father anymore. We agree to disagree on everything."
"What does that mean?"
She chuckled. "I forgot you're just a boy.." She ran her fingers through his hair.
"Will I see you again?" He looked sad.
A few tears fell from her eyes. "No, baby."
The boy clutched onto her. She hugged Jake back. "Jake, sometimes what hurts is what's best. I don't want to leave you, but its what's best."
Jake asked, "Why is it best?"
"Your father hates me now and I have no one."
"I thought you would get married to my dad and... You would be my mom..."
Tori sighed. She'd really got soft since she joined the Shield. "I'm sorry, Jake. Maybe your dad will meet someone else that will be a better choice for a mom."
"I want you to be my mom."
Tori stepped outside the gate. "Bye, Jake."
Once the Pink haired woman left, Jake went up the stairs and into the apartment.
Dean said, "Hey, little buddy. Wanna eat breakfast?"
"No. Where is my dad?"
"In the bedroom, what's wrong?" Seth said.
Jake stormed into his father's room and glared at him. Roman said, "Not now Jake.."
"Why did you run her off?! I wanted her to stay!"
"What are you talking about?"
"Tori! You made her leave and she's never coming back! I'll never have a mother! I'm stuck with you!"
Roman said, "Watch your tone.."
Jake pouted, "I wish I had different parents.. You're no better than mom and I hate you both." The young boy left the room and stormed into the closet where he went to be alone. He locked the door and powered on the light.
Seth and Dean shared a worried look. Dean finished up with the food and bought Seth a plate. "Things will get better, Seth. Hopefully..."
"He lashed out at Tori and now she's gone. This time, I have a feeling she won't come back. His own son is mad at him.." Seth thought for a moment. "I think we should do the paternity test now."
"What? Why now? I thought we would wait until you were in labor."
"If the baby is yours then I don't wanna be here with him a second longer. This is too depressing. I want Tori.."
"I fucked up too. I called her a fucking bitch and a slut. A liar... This isn't all his fault. I shouldn't have said that because of how sensitive she's got."
"We all make mistakes.."
Jake was drawing and writing in his journal. All about Tori. Her pretty hair, nice smile, how nice she was to him and how different she was from mom. He thinks Tori would have been a great mom.
He was sad and quiet all day. He didn't eat breakfast, or lunch, or dinner. The raven haired boy only left the closet to use the bathroom. Once they arrived at the arena, Roman asked, "Are you still mad at me?"
Jake looked up from his journal and said, "I'll never forgive you. Ever."
