Someone Special
Chapter Thirty Six
Melody woke up when a flight attendant came over to her and told her that they had landed. Melody looked at her phone and it was after eight at night. She noticed that she had three missed calls and a voicemail from Roman, and another missed call and voicemail from her mom. Melody was still upset with Roman, she didn't want to talk to him. She decided to call her mom.
"Mom..."
"Melody, what's going on? What's wrong?"
"I'm... really upset mom... I'm moving out of Roman's house... I saw him kissing another woman."
"Oh... I'm so sorry Melody."
"He hurt me... I loved him... I can't believe he would do this to me. Mom...since you I've closer now, could I please stay with you for a few weeks? Long enough so I can find a place of my own?"
Melody didn't think her mom's answer would be yes, but was shocked when it was.
"Yes. You don't have to worry about finding somewhere else to live. John and I would love for you to stay. I'm really sorry about you and Roman... Where are you right now?"
"I'm at the airport. Could you come pick me up and help me get my stuff from Roman's house?"
"Sure. I'll be there in ten minutes."
While Melody was waiting she couldn't help but let the tears flow as she thought about Roman. Her mom got there and hugged her.
"Oh... Melody, I hate seeing you like this. He really broke your heart."
Her brother came up to her and hugged her.
"I guess now we knew why you didn't want a boyfriend, because you would get your heart broken. If I see him again I'm kicking his ass. I'll try to anyway. I don't care how big and bad he thinks he is, no one hurts my sister and gets away with it."
Even though Melody was upset she managed to smile and hug him.
"Thanks John."
Melody, her mom, and her mom got to Roman's house and helped Melody with her stuff.
While Melody was dealing her heartbreak, Dean and Seth were giving Roman hell for what he did to her. Seth saw Dean punch Roman in the face. It was hard to tell if Dean or Seth were more pissed off at Roman.
"Roman you Son of a Bitch! How could you do this to Melody?!"
Seth tried to hold Dean back and added in what he wanted to say.
"Give us one good reason why we shouldn't kick your ass right now?!"
Roman felt at his nose from where Dean punched him.
"Because, Summer kissed me!"
Dean wasn't buying it.
"Right... That phone call was just an excuse for you to go meet her, she probably called you and told you where to meet."
"Dean! Shut the hell up! You didn't see what happened so you can't judge me. I swear, Summer kissed me. We've been friends for a while now, but I've known Melody longer. I had no idea she was going to kiss me, and I definitely didn't enjoy it."
"That's not what I saw, I'm pretty sure you were sticking your tongue down her throat and trying to suck her face off."
"You've got this backwards... She was the one that came up to me, she wanted to "congratulate" me for my win. At first she just hugged me, but the next thing I knew, she was trying to stick her tongue down my throat and that was when Melody and you guys came around the corner. This is all a big misunderstanding... Like when I thought Melody had something going on with Bray, but later found out that Bray kissed her."
"Dude, you are so stupid, why would Melody hook up with Bray?"
"I know I was stupid, but I wasn't thinking, I was still hurt."
Seth cut in.
"Well how do you think Melody felt? Even if you didn't mean for it to happen, you broke her heart. I tried to stop her but she was so upset, I knew that if I kept trying to stop her that she would only get more upset so I let her go. She said she needed time to think, she said that if you did this in front of her who knows what you've done behind her back. We know you haven't done anything, we're around you too much for you to do anything, but that kiss with Summer looked pretty convincing that something was going on."
"Well go ask Summer!"
Roman was pissed off at Summer for causing this, at Dean for punching him in the face and at Seth for not stopping Melody from leaving. He was mad at himself for getting caught up in this situation, he's been trying to convince Melody that she made him into a better man, but after what happened with Summer he knew it would be a while before she trusted him. He remembered Melody taking off her necklace and throwing it at him. As Dean and Seth went to look for Summer to get her side of the story Roman reached down at his feet and picked up the necklace. What nobody knew about Roman was that once he and Melody had pictures done together that he always kept two of the pictures in the front pocket of his Shield vest. So in a way he always kept Melody close to his heart. He opened up her locket and looked at the pictures for a moment. Then he closed it and looked at the words Always & Forever. He kissed the locket and hoped that he would be able to fix things with Melody. He put the necklace in his pocket and knew that Melody would be the only one to have his heart. He made sure that no one was around before he let his tears fall. He may have won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, but at the same time may have lost Melody. There were King of the Ring tournaments, but the real king of WWE would be the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Roman had been crowned as champion, but what is a king without his queen? Roman knew that Melody was upset and wouldn't want to talk to him, but thought that he would try to call her anyway. Now he knew how Melody felt when he accused her of doing something that she didn't do. At the same time Melody was feeling the way he did when he thought she kissed Bray, angry, sad, and hurt. Roman didn't know Dean had come back.
"Hey Roman..."
Dean stopped when he noticed Roman start wiping his face.
"Dude were you crying?"
"Shut up..."
"Oh man... You were crying... Over Melody?"
"Yes over Melody!"
"Oh man, we were wrong about you... Any man that cries over a woman... Must really feel something for that woman. You were telling the truth."
"That's what I've been saying... Now because of Summer, I may have lost Melody forever."
About a minute later Seth is coming back with Summer.
"I found Summer, she admitted to kissing you."
Summer was going to say something, but Roman cut her off.
"Ro, I'm so sorry about..."
"Stop! I don't want to hear anything you have to say... Because of you, I probably just lost the love of my life. She's never going to trust me again."
"Ro, please..."
"Don't call me that! I don't care how you felt about me. We were friends for a reason, because I was seeing someone else. I'm not your friend... I don't want you talking to me, I don't want to see you. The best thing you can do is walk away and don't talk to me, don't look at me, or even think about me ever again. You mean NOTHING to me! Walk away, right NOW!"
Summer felt anger and sadness at the same time, she slapped him in the face, turned around and stormed off. Roman actually found humor in this.
"Bye Bitch!"
Dean and Seth smirked at each other and thought the same thing. They started shouting out to her the lyrics to a song making sure she heard.
"Na na na na, Na na na na, Hey Hey Hey, Goodbye."
Summer stopped before she went around a corner, turned around and flipped them off. All three members of The Shield flipped her off, she rolled her eyes and left. It made Roman feel better knowing that Summer would no longer be a problem, but he was still concerned about Melody. It had been a few minutes and Roman tried to call her again, but wasn't surprised when she didn't answer. Roman knew that now that he was WWE World Heavyweight Champion that it would be even harder to have time to be with Melody, he would be lucky if he even got a weekend off.
Melody had moved into her mom's house and she was still teaching, but a lot of the kids could tell that something was wrong. It had been two days since Wrestlemania, Roman and the rest of The Shield had been calling her but she ignored their calls. In a way she did want to talk to Dean and Seth, but she thought that maybe Roman was trying to call on their phones so she ignored their calls and messages too. Finally after two weeks, they all stopped trying to call her and message her. One night Melody was at her mom's house, it was almost eleven at night, Melody's brother is a junior in high school and he also liked spring sports, but the games would sometimes end late at night. Melody's mom found this out first, she started getting worried once it got past midnight. His friends would bring him home from games, but one night Melody's mom got a call saying that John had been in an accident and that he died on the way to the hospital. Her mom let out a scream of terror which got Melody's attention. She came out of the room she was staying in and went into the living to see what was going on.
"Mom, what's going on?"
"It's John... He's dead!"
"What?! This... Better not be some kind of joke!"
"It's not... His friend's mom told me that they were run off the road by a drunk driver that was texting. They were in an accident that wasn't their fault... His friend went to the hospital, but John... Died on impact. He was on the passenger side, and that is where the car hit."
"No..."
Melody and her mom were both crying at this point.
"No mom... Please tell me this isn't happening."
Neither of them said a word and hugged each other as they cried for several minutes. Finally Melody's mom spoke up.
"Melody... I know I haven't always been the most loving and... understanding mom, but you're all I have left now. I love you Melody, it times like this that we need to be together the most."
"I know, and I love you too mom. You weren't that bad of a mom... I turned out ok."
"Promise me that no matter what happens, that we won't ever go back to the way things were. You're the only family I have left Melody, it's important that we stay in touch."
"I know... I don't think things will ever be as bad as it was between us. We're different now... We can talk, listen, and understand each other."
Melody had talked to a few of her friends from church, but that didn't seem to help. The next day when she went to school, it was really hard not to break down in front of everyone. What happened with Roman and now with her brother's death was becoming too much for her. Around lunchtime she found somewhere to talk privately. She had her phone out and called Seth, she still wasn't sure if she wanted to talk to Roman, she was sure that they were all busy but she tried to call Seth anyway. Seth wasn't busy anyway, Dean and Roman were in a tag team match together. The matches could happen at different times during the day, not just late at night. Seth looked at his phone and noticed that Melody was calling. They weren't actually doing anything, things usually calmed down after Wrestlemania. Seth answered the phone.
"Hey... Seth... I really need to talk to someone."
"Melody, what's going on?"
"I'm sorry if I've been ignoring yours band Dean's calls, but I thought that maybe Roman has tried calling from your phone."
"He's tried a few times, but finally he thought he would just let you think for a while. He hasn't given up on you."
"I didn't call for Roman... I still don't know if I want to talk to him. Please Seth... Will you keep this between us?"
"Ok, what's wrong... You sound really upset."
"I am... My brother... Died in an accident last night."
"Oh... I'm so sorry Melody... We'll be over as soon as we can."
"We? No... I don't want to see Roman, I don't want to talk to him."
"Ok... What about me and Dean?"
"You know I love you guys like brothers, but wherever you guys go, Roman follows."
"Ok Melody listen! This is getting ridiculous... What happened between Roman and Summer was like what happened between you and Bray... You didn't feel anything for Bray, and Roman doesn't feel anything for Summer. It was all a big setup, Summer thought she could hook up with Roman, but she didn't know you were already with Roman. I know that you're probably still upset over what you saw, but Roman really is a changed man... He has never been with another woman since he met you, you're all that he talks about. Whenever he's not in a match he's all down and depressed... Listen Melody, this breakup or whatever this is has really got to him... You're the Lois Lane to his Superman... He loves you Melody. Dean and I knew this a long time ago."
"He's... Really all depressed because of me?"
"He is... I'm not trying to tell you what to do or anything. If you don't want to be with him fine, but will you at least talk to him?"
"Is... Is he around?"
"He's in a match right now, but are you going to talk to him?"
"I might... Could you tell him that I called?"
"I will."
"Ok... Thanks Seth. I'll talk to you some other time ok?"
"Ok."
"Bye Seth."
"Bye Melody."
Melody hung up the phone and her lunch break was over, the rest of the day went by slow and Melody didn't seemed very focused. She was lost in her thoughts.
"I am still hurting after seeing what I saw, but what if Seth was right? I really should've listened to what Roman had to say. From what Seth said, it sounds like Roman is taking it just as hard if not harder than I am. Maybe I shouldn't have called it quits... I was just so hurt by what I saw, but Roman felt the same way when he thought something was going on between me and Bray. Roman isn't going to want to talk to me... Not after I kept him waiting. He's the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, he going to be even more busy now than he was before. If I hadn't of overreacted... None of this would have happened. I had an amazing relationship going and I ruined it because of my jealousy and because I didn't give him a chance to talk. Trust and Communication are two of the most important things in a relationship and I wasn't doing either one. Maybe I wasn't ready for a relationship, all I do is mess things up, my whole life has been a mistake. Maybe I don't deserve a prince charming... It all seems like a big fairy tale anyway... Here I am a fan of WWE and I end up meeting and getting into a romantic relationship with Roman Reigns... It sounds like something that would only happen in a book or a movie. Not everyone gets their fairy tale happy ending."
"Ms. Melody, are you ok? You don't seem like yourself."
"I'll be fine Jamie... It's just grown up problems, nothing you need to worry about."
Melody had a paper that she was writing on, but she stopped when Jamie and two other kids hugged her.
"We love you Ms. Melody... I hope a hug will make you feel better."
Melody smiled at this and hugged them back.
"I love you too... All of you. Thank you, your hugs did make me feel a little better."
Melody had finally just heard the kids actually said that they loved her and it really warmed her heart when they hugged her. She thought about being a mom someday, she hoped that if she had kids someday that they would love her as much as these kids did. Somehow the kids knew something was wrong and it made her feel good knowing they were concerned about her. She needed to get her life in order so she wouldn't be bringing her problems with her to school. Later on Melody felt like just laying around, but woke up when she heard the doorbell ring. Melody was going to get it, but her mom got it first.
"I got it Melody."
When Melody's mom opened the door and she started glaring when she saw who it was.
"You've got a lot of nerve to show your face here after what you did."
Melody started walking to the door when she heard her mom raise her voice.
"Mom, what's going on? Who's here mom?"
"You've got company Melody."
Her mom moved out of the way. To say that Melody was surprised would be an understatement.
"Roman?"
