Sister of The Shield

Chapter Twenty Eight

Emily didn't know how l, but she somehow fell was the first one there with her, they had talked briefly before Bray told her to get some rest. She had been through a traumatic event, so far to the point that she tried to take her own life, but no one knew about that. She fell asleep to the gentle and warm touch of Bray holding her hand. Later on Dean came in and Roman not long after that. Bray never really got along with Dean or Roman. The last time Bray and Roman were seen together, Roman had beat the hell out of him in a match, this was because Roman thought that Bray attacked Emily. Ever since Roman had been out because of his surgery, Dean had been watching over her. Roman also had been paying attention to everything that had been going on between Emily, Bray, and Seth. Every time he saw Emily on tv, Roman would notice how much more comfortable she seemed around Bray. Dean called Roman and told him what happened, and Roman got on a plane and arrived in Baltimore as soon as he could. He arrived at the hospital about an hour after Raw ended. Roman was glad that Seth was punished somehow, but a part of him wished that Seth hadn't of got fired and arrested, because he wanted to kick Seth's ass for what he did. Basically, everyone wanted to get their hands on Seth. Even though Dean and Roman didn't get along with Bray, they all agreed that Seth deserved to get his ass kicked, and here they were, together peacefully just for Emily. Roman saw a lot of thing on screen, but he still didn't know that Bray and Emily were together. He didn't exactly know what to think when he walked into the room and saw Bray holding Emily's hand. He looked at Bray, then at Dean before quietly speaking so that he wouldn't wake her.

"How is she?"

Bray looked at Emily and then at Roman before speaking.

"She's hurting... physically, mentally and emotionally, and she's scared. She woke up at one point when I got here, I didn't expect for her to feel like talking, she had been through a traumatic experience, her eyes were red from where she had been crying. I told her that she needed her rest, but we haven't heard from a doctor yet so I don't really know anything else."

A few minutes go by and a doctor comes in the room and started talking to them.

"Hello gentlemen, I have some information about Emily... We were first called to a hotel because she had cut her wrists and lost a lot of blood, but she was also raped. We will have to keep her here for a few days until she recovers, but we also need to keep her so that we can test her for pregnancy or any sexual diseases. Thanks to blood donors, we were able to save her. We were really lucky that we got to her when we did, if she would have stayed there a few more hours, she probably wouldn't have made it."

Dean was slightly confused.

"Wait... So, you're saying that she was raped, but she cut her own wrists?"

"Yes... A lot of times after something traumatic like this happens, sometimes this can lead patients into shock, and sometimes even depression. They do this to try to get rid of or lessen the pain, some have even tried taking their own lives."

The doctor left, all of the men looked at each other with shocked expressions on their faces. This wasn't just a physical problem, but also a mental and emotional problem. None of them were really there for her when she needed them, but Emily was hurting so bad that she tried to take her own life. She would need as much help and support as she could get. After traumatic experiences, some people just wish that they were dead instead of living through the pain and a memory that would haunt them for a lifetime. Bray understood more than anyone knew because his own sister had been raped, only she had been killed. Bray felt like he really needed to talk to Dean and Roman and this.

"Dean... Roman, could we talk?"

Dean was actually the one to answer.

"Sure... Why not?"

"Look, I know we haven't always got along, Roman still probably thinks that I attacked Emily... I've never hurt her, and I never will hurt her. A man does not place his hands on a woman."

Roman cut Bray off.

"I've been watching everything that has happened since my surgery."

"It hasn't been going on very long, but I'm going to be honest with you Roman, Emily and I started going out. We had our first date one day last week before she went to look for her dad and brother."

"I don't really know what to think about that... I never really pictured you as Emily's type, and we've never really got along. I thought Emily wasn't going to do this anymore, keeping her relationships a secret."

"Well... with everything that's been going on with Seth and her family, maybe she just forgot to tell you. I can't say that I can fully understand what Emily's been through, but I think we've all suffered pain and loss before."

"What are you saying Bray?"

"I told Emily this, but I've never told anyone else this. My finisher in WWE, Sister Abigail is actually named in memory of my real sister. Her story is kind of similar to Emily's... So, Abigail was keeping her relationship a secret from our parents, she was fourteen, and the guy she was dating was twenty one. She would sometimes come home late, but never later than ten at night... One day, her boyfriend picked her up early from school, she told me to tell our parents that she would be coming home late, but it wasn't to be... Once it got past eleven, we and the police searched for her overnight, and this was a time before cell phones. I heard a scream in the night. I mistook it for an animal. We searched all through the night, I was always told not to judge people, but there was just something about this guy that I didn't like. I should have trusted my instincts, our dogs started barking and I followed them. It was then that our worst fears had been realized. Abigail was dead... her body was pale and cold, blood and dirt all over her body, and her clothes were ripped from her...She was raped, and killed by a man who supposedly loved her. I should have been there for her... Then maybe she would be alive today... It was then that I learned, the world is a cruel, and evil place. When I found her, there were shadows coming from somewhere, I looked up and surely enough, there were buzzards circling above us."

It was then that Dean and Roman seemed to understand. Dean was the first to respond.

"So... You're really not crazy. There was reason all along why you said Follow the Buzzards."

Then Roman said what he wanted to say.

"Everyone... has really misjudged you. I'm sorry about your sister."

"I can't say I completely understand Emily's situation, but I'm just glad that she's still here."

Dean then continued talking.

"I guess... Bray and I have more in common than I thought. We've both lost our sisters... My sister, she kept having bad breakups and she would come to me every time. I would always ignore her, and I shouldn't have. I went out for a walk one night and I thought she was following me, but instead, she ran out into the road and committed suicide. I always blamed myself."

Roman started talking next.

"Emily was adopted, she had said that she always felt like she never belonged, but I've always loved her like she was my real sister. Now that she's found her real dad and brother, she may not want anything to do with me and my family."

They were trying to talk quietly, but they saw that Emily had started moving around. She heard voices and woke up. Bray was still there, but now Dean and Roman were there too. Emily smiled a little when she saw Dean and Roman.

"Dean, Roman."

They both made their way over to her and gave her a gentle hug. Roman spoke to her first.

"Hey Em... I'm so sorry about what's happened. None of this would have happened if I had been around to watch over you."

"It's not your fault Roman, I'm just glad that you're here... surprised to see you actually, I would have thought that you would still be at home recovering."

"I'm recovering fine, you know I don't like sitting around at home. Dean called me and told me what happened, and I got here as soon as I could. Seth is lucky that he was arrested, surgery or no surgery, I would have killed him."

Dean spoke up next.

"That makes two of us. I kind of got to beat his ass before security pulled me away and had him arrested."

Bray then walked up beside Dean

"Basically, we all want to get our hands on Seth... Seth is public enemy number one."

Dean laughed a little.

"How great would it be if we could all get our hands on Seth. Seth did get what he deserved, fired and arrested, but it's too bad we can't all kick his ass real good."

Emily was surprised that Dean, Roman and Bray were in the same room getting along, much less talking to each other.

"Woah... Hang on... When did you guys get all buddy buddy?"

Bray answered this.

"We were united because we have a common enemy, and we're all here for you Emily."

Roman spoke up next.

"Also... Even though, it's still a little weird to me, I guess I should at least try to get along with my sister's boyfriend."

"Sorry Roman... I really meant to tell you, but with everything that's been going on, I just forgot."

"It's fine. So, you met your real dad and brother, tell me about that."

"It was amazing Roman. I wasn't sure if he would believe me when I told him that I was his daughter, but I looked a lot like my mom and it didn't take much convincing. We were all so happy... a few tears were shed by everyone. My brother Matthew is actually a cop, but they live in Atlanta, and can only arrest people in the city of Atlanta. So... you said Seth was arrested and fired."

Bray nodded his head and answered.

"Yes, but if you ask me, he deserves all of that and more."

Dean actually had a smirk on his face.

"Oh, believe me, Seth will get what's coming to him."

Everyone looked at Dean with confused looks.


Meanwhile in a jail cell, Seth was fighting for his life, there were three large thugs in the same cell as him. They targeted Seth because Seth was smaller and they thought that Seth's two toned hair made him look feminine. One of the guards came in the cell and took Seth out of it only to bring him to a room by himself. This usually happened when someone wants to find out information, but there was obvious evidence against Seth, so he wasn't sure why he was sitting there. He had handcuffs on his hands and he saw what looked like a mirror, instead, it was one of those see through windows that you see in crime shows. There were people looking in at him, but he couldn't see outside. Later on, a man walked in and sat across from Seth.

"So... You're Seth Rollins, so you were this big shot WWE superstar that everyone was talking about. From what I heard... You were on your way to becoming a future champion, and yet... Here you are in this prison. Life can change faster than you think... One minute you're on top of the world, and then, the next thing you know, you're in jail for years, maybe even for the rest of your life. I'm sorry... I forgot to introduce myself... My name is Matthew Thomas. You may not know me, but I think you know the name... I think you're very familiar with my sister Emily."

Seth face turned pale. Matthew got up and started walking around Seth.

"You're Emily's biological brother?"

"I am, and unfortunately for you... I'm a cop."

Matthew then pushed Seth's head forward and down with force until Seth's head hit the table.

"Ow... Damn it! Take it easy!... I already got jumped by three guys that were in the same cell as me."

"Hell no!... You think I'm going to take it easy?! You didn't take it easy with my sister did you?! No... You raped her! You Son of a Bitch! You deserve everything that's happened. A friend of hers... Dean Ambrose texted me and told me what happened. I should be with her, but I wanted to see the Son of a Bitch that raped her! If it were up to me, your ass would either rot in prison or go through the death penalty. Right now... Emily is in the hospital recovering from what you'be done to her. There will be a court case when Emily heals, and we will see what a judge and jury decides. As of right now... I think those guys in your cell can do a lot more to you than what I can.


Back at the hospital, Dean had explained that he had told Matthew what happened. Matthew told him that he would deal with Seth. Emily was surprised at this.

"Matthew knows what happened?"

"Yeah... I thought, he's a cop, why not let him deal with Seth since we can't? One thing I know about Seth is, he can't handle street fights, I'm sure they put him in a cell with a bunch of thugs. I grew up in street fights, in and out of jail, I could handle the thugs, but Seth... he doesn't stand a chance."

Talking about Seth only seemed to upset Emily.

"Can we... Please stop talking about Seth? I don't want to see him, hear him, talk about him or even think about him."

Roman spoke up next.

"Sorry. I know you're upset about that. What I can't believe is that you cut your wrists and try to take your life."

"I just couldn't stand it. The pain I was feeling, and still feeling, it just won't go away. I was just so scared, I just wanted it all to end."

Now it was Bray's turn to come up to Emily. He gently grabbed her hand as he spoke to her.

"Listen Emily... I know this is a difficult time for you, but you mean too much to all of us, and your family to take your life. Seth is in jail now, and he is finally being punished for everything he's done to you, he will never hurt you again Emily. Other people have been through what you have, and they've made it through with the help and support of people that care about them. It is a slow healing process, somethings can never be healed, but you're not alone Emily. Even though Dean, Roman, and I haven't always got along, were here for you."

Now Roman spoke.

"You've said that you always felt like you never belonged. We've always seen you as family."

"I know, and I appreciate all that you and your family has done for me. I just wanted answers. I always felt like my parents had deserted me. My biological dad never even knew that I existed. When I finally met him and saw Matthew again, I couldn't help, but cry seeing them for the first time."

"So... You've met your real family now..."

"Yes, but that doesn't mean that I don't want anything to do with you and your family anymore, you and your family are all I know. I do want to see my real family more now. Matthew is twenty nine and my dad is fifty, they won't be around forever, and I can't really make up for the years lost. Maybe... If it's not too weird, we could blend our families. I want you and you family, and my family in my life."

"That wouldn't be weird at all. Whatever makes you happy. You have a right to see your real family."

Things in the room seemed to calm down. Everyone said what they wanted to say. It still amazed that Dean and Roman were getting along with Bray. Emily healed up pretty quick over the next few days and the marks on her arms seemed to quickly fade away but not completely. She would have small scars on her wrists to forever remind her of how low she had went. She tested negative for pregnancy and any sexual diseases and was released from the hospital. Roman returned home, he was healing faster than expected and would be able to return to the ring within the next month. Dean would call and text Emily to check up on her. The day that Emily was released from the hospital, Bray was the one to pick her up.

"It's good to see you up and moving again Emily."

"Yeah I know, I got tired of laying around in that bed."

"How are you feeling... Emotionally?"

"Better than a few days ago thanks to you, Dean, and Roman, but mentally... What happened I don't think will ever leave my mind. Then I went and cut my own wrists... I will have a scar to remind me of how low I had sunk, I don't ever want to go back down that road again."

"You won't have to Emily. I would imagine that you still need time to heal before returning to work."

"I can't Bray... I can't go back... It will just keep reminding me of what happened."

"I know you're scared Emily, but you're one of the best nurses that WWE has ever had, and that's not just me saying that. Those are the words from Triple H himself. You can't let fear control your life. You are so much stronger than you think Emily. Promise me something Emily... Promise me that you'll never go down that road again. Promise me... you will never try to take your life again."

Emily was quiet for a few seconds as she started into Bray's eyes and held his hand.

"I promise."

"Good. So... Will you be coming back to work?"

"I think I will... I like helping people and if I work, maybe... It will take my mind off of what happened."

A few days later Emily arrived at Raw. She had an older car and she was surprised that she got to Raw, her car had been acting up for weeks. Her first day back on the job, people were welcoming her back, she helped a few people after their matches. She was usually one of the last ones to leave. The parking lot was usually full everywhere they went. Her car, and six others were there. Emily had her stuff in the trunk, but was having a hard time getting her car to start. She was frustrated and wanted to scream.

"No... Come on! I need you to start!"

Emily was going to call a row truck for help when someone spoke and scared her.

"Need some help?"

Emily jumped and almost dropped her phone.

"Oh... Bray it's you. You scared me a little. Do you think you can help me with my car? It's not wanting to start."

"I'll see what I can do."

Bray lifted the hood and looked at her engine.

"Try to start it again."

Emily say inside her car, turned the key, but nothing happened.

"Nothing happened Bray."

"Hang on... I'll bring my car over here and see if I can jump it off with the jumper cables."

Bray left only for a moment to bring his car over to Emily's, he hooked up the cables between their two cars and had Emily try to start her car again. It still would not start. Emily had an older car, and her battery was completely dead, and that wasn't the only problem, her light cords had a shirt in them and her roof leaked really bad when it rained. Dean was already gone for the night and she didn't want to call and bother him.

"I guess I can call a tow truck and see if someone else can fix it. They'll probably keep it over night. I can go to a hotel for the night and pay someone tomorrow. Then I'll have to hurry and get on the road for Smackdown."

"You know Emily, it's not too much trouble, you can ride along with me if you want to. We can travel together, and we'll be able to see each other and talk more."

Emily kind of liked the sound of that.

"I don't know... It wouldn't be a burden to you would it?"

"Of course not. You are not a burden to my Emily, you're my girlfriend and I just want to help."

Emily smiled at this, gave Bray a hug and even a kiss on the cheek.

"Thank you Bray, you're a life saver."

Emily grabbed her stuff from her trunk and walked over to Bray. He smiled and took her suitcase and medical bag and placed it in the back of his trunk. He then opened the passenger side door of his car open for Emily. Emily smiled at him as he got in the car. Soon they drove off leaving Emily's car there alone and forgotten. Emily wished that soon her memory of Seth would be forgotten. She chose not to think about Seth at all, and Bray wanted to do something special for Emily to take her mind off of Seth. Smackdown would be in New Orleans. Bray grew up in places between Florida and Louisiana, Bray was close to home. Emily was currently calm and happy, but tired after her first day of returning to work. Emily was happy that she was traveling with Bray, maybe this would bring them even closer. Bray could drive with one hand, Emily had fallen asleep not long after being on the road. Bray didn't want to wake her, but he drove with one hand and with his other hand, he held her hand and kissed it seeing her sleeping peacefully.
