CHAPTER 11: Back to New York
Several hours had past and it was now a little after 9am when Dean and Paige had arrived at his and Seth's apartment. Both were equally filled with their worries. "Rest well?" he asked as he turned the latch. "Not really" Paige said. "Between being woken up out of my sleep in the middle of the night, the airplane trip and the baby's constant kicking yeah…I'd say I slept really well." "Well I'm sorry about that" Dean said as he opened the door. "Wow I'm surprised that he didn't already changed the locks."
"Are you even sure that we should be in here?" asked Paige. "I don't think that he'd appreciate us being here. I for one am really trying to avoid feeling his wrath again…for the sake of the baby." "I think he hates me more than he hates you" said Dean. "I don't believe you." "Believe me. I know him better than you." "So you're telling me that Colby hates you more than he does me?" "Yes I am Saraya" said Dean. "Whatever you say" said Paige as she took a seat on the couch. "Now what?" "Now we wait" said Dean as he sat next to her. "Do you even know where he is?" asked Paige. "I mean he could be anywhere in the world right now doing a show or two."
"I have his itinerary already programmed onto my phone" said Dean. "I did it earlier this year…before all hell broke loose and he should be coming through that door any minute." "I just don't have a good feeling about this" said Paige. "I really, really don't." Dean became quiet as he placed his hand over hers. "Try not to stress so much" he said. "Just let me do all of the talking." As soon as he finished his sentenced, Seth had entered into the apartment with his luggage in tow and after closing the door, his facial expression showed rage.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TWO DOING HERE!?" he shouted. "Look Colby I-" Dean said as he stood up. "I DON'T WANT TO HERE IT GOOD!" shouted Seth. "YOU AND YOUR WHORE ARE NOT WELCOMED HERE!" "HEY!" shouted Dean. "DON'T TALK ABOUT HER LIKE THAT!?" "Oh really why not!?" Seth shouted. "You slept with her didn't you!? DIDN'T YOU!?"
"Colby, you have to calm down otherwise somebody around here's going to call the cops and we don't want that" said Dean. "Why'd you do it?" Paige tearfully asked. "Why did you do that to me!? How could you take everything away from me?" "Because you took everything from me" Seth said coldly. "That's why." "I'm sorry Colby" said Paige. "I really am." "Tell me something Saraya. Were you sorry about nearly destroying AJ and Joe's marriage? Were you sorry about making a fool of yourself at John and Nikki's wedding? Were you sorry when you fucked my fiancé!?" Seth said.
"I didn't plan on this to happen Colby" said Paige. "I just wanted him…so bad and yes I didn't care how I got him but…I never meant for this baby to be here." "It's too late" said Seth. "I…I'm sorry Colby" Paige repeated. "No. You're not sorry" said Seth. "Now get outta my house and go back to Florida or wherever the fuck you came from so that you can continue playing your sick and twisted game of house."
"We're not playing house Colby" said Dean. "Oh, you're not?" Seth laughed. "Alright Colby! I messed up! We messed up! WE ALL MESSED UP BUT I AM SICK AND TIRED OF ALL OF THE BULLSHIT OK!? I LOVE YOU AND I MESSED UP AND I AM SORRY AND THERE'S NOTHING ELSE LEFT THAT I CAN DO ABOUT THIS OK!?" "Leave" Seth seethed. "You know what Colby? Joe and I didn't react this way with you when you with causing Nikki to cheat on both John and Randy. I HAVE NEVER JUDGED YOU THIS HARSHLY FOR YOUR MISTAKES! WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT YOUR ASS IS SO DIFFERENT!?" Seth's fist immediately connected with Dean's jaw, sending him sprawling over onto the ground.
"Jon!?" Paige worriedly called out as she went to his side. "Are you alright." "He will be if the two of you get out of my apartment before I call the police. NOW!" Seth said. Paige hurried Dean up and out of the apartment without another word and the two continued that until they had reached their hotel which was nearby.
"This is so going to end up in the papers" Paige said as she closed their door behind him. "Meet me in the room. "I'm going to get some ice from the freezer for your face." "Thanks" Dean said as he continued clenching his hand over his jaw. "That shit hurt more than what I've ever received in the ring before." "That was because he did it out of rage" Paige said from a distance. Dean made his way into his room where he sat on the bed and waited for Paige's return.
"Here" she said as she handed him an icepack." "Thanks" he said. "Speaking of work, when are you planning on going back?" asked Paige. "Saturday the 14th" said Dean. "And it's in Sacramento." "This is really terrible" said Paige. "I have no friends as no one wants to talk to me. My house is constantly surrounded by the press and everyone hates us anymore." "Not everyone" said Dean. "We really have each other, don't we?" Paige asked. "I guess so" said Dean as he sat the icepack down onto the nightstand. "The worst part is that I don't even have a job anymore…I have nothing." "That's not true" said Dean. "You still have me remember...you're not going to be alone."
"Here" Paige said as she picked up the icepack. "You should still keep that on your eye. You'll need it." "No thank you" said Dean. "It's not what you want or don't want it's what you need" said Paige. "I'll ice it again in a few" said Dean. "I promise." Paige sighed as she made her way out of the bedroom. "Goodnight Jonathan" she said. "Goodnight Saraya-Jade" said Dean.
