Lexi-
We got to the store. Wedding dresses along with bridesmaid dresses in one window. In the other window were suits. Brie had the biggest smile on her face. I just wanted to throw up to get the feeling in my stomach to go away. The smell of the store once we entered didn't help any. Eva looped her arm through mine and giggled at my facial expression.
"Wanna stay outside? I'm sure Brie would understand", Eva whispered.
I shook my head and exhaled. A woman approached us as we were looking at some dresses.
"Hello ladies, which one of you is the lucky bride to be?", she asked.
We pointed to Brie, she raised her hand.
"Well my name is Mary, is there anything I can help you look for? Like a certain style?", she asked.
"I haven't really thought about it", Brie said, looking at Nikki.
"Well how about you ladies look around, see what catches your eyes. If you need me I'll be by the changing rooms.", she said.
She was sweet, her smile made you feel comfortable.
We followed Brie, looking through each dress, showing her if we found one she might like. I noticed Nikki had a sad expression on her face. Why did I find it so hard to just go over there and ask her if she was ok. I bit my lip and sighed. Walking over to Nikki she turned to me, giving me a sad smile.
"Are you ok Nik?", I asked.
"Yeah, why wouldn't I be", she shrugged her shoulders, not looking at me.
"I don't know, you just seem, too quiet and sad", I said.
"Its just, we won't ever get to do this for me. I won't get to know what its like to have a baby, you're really lucky Lex", she said.
I rubbed her back.
"You don't know that, John could change his mind, just give him time", I said.
"He won't, I know him", she said low.
She looked over to Brie, then back at me.
"Lets not talk about this here, I don't want Brie to go all bridezilla on me", she said.
We giggled. Brie put a hand on my shoulder, her phone was in her hand.
"Bryan wants to know if you think Dean would want to be one of his groomsmen?", she asked.
"Oh, I would have to ask him, but I doubt it. You know he might not be comfortable with it, but I'll call him now to ask", I said.
She nodded and told Bryan what I said. Taking out my phone and pressing on Dean's number. It rang and rang but no answer, which was weird.
I redialed it, nothing. Leaving a message.
"Hey Dean, it's a miracle you didn't answer. Anyways, Bryan would like to know if you would be one of his groomsmen? I told them I would ask you, so if you can call me back or call Bryan. I put his number in your phone. Let him know as soon as you decide, I hope your ok, I love you.", I said.
I put my phone back into my pocket, Brie smiled at me.
"I had to leave him a message but if he doesn't call me, I told him to call Bryan", I said.
"ok, well I picked my top five dresses. I'm gonna go try them on", she pointed to the changing rooms.
I followed and sat in a chair in between Nikki and Eva. Nikki was playing with her hair looking at her nails, ignoring Brie every time she came out with a new dress on.
"Nikki, what's so important you can't seem to focus on me now? I'm the bride, I brought you here so you could help me and your not", Brie said.
"Sorry", Nikki said, rolling her eyes.
"You've been acting like this since yesterday", Brie said, turning to the mirror.
"Like what?", Nikki asked.
"Like a total bitch", Brie rolled her eyes at Nikki through the mirror.
"You know what Brie, so I won't ruin the rest of your day, I'm gonna go", Nikki stood up, heading to the door.
"How is she getting home?", Eva asked.
"I don't care, she's being a brat", Brie turned back to us.
"Maybe I should call Dean to pick Nikki and I up. You two can head back together", I said, getting up.
Brie shrugged and Eva nodded. It was starting to feel like old times.
"My shopping trip was ruined", Brie said.
Nikki was standing outside with her arms crossed. She turned to me.
"Want a ride? I'm gonna call Dean to pick me up", I said.
"Please", she said.
I took my phone out. Looking at the time, I didn't realize we took almost all day in the shop. It was almost six pm. I dialed Dean, again no answer. I was starting to get worried.
"Hey Dean, its me again. I don't know whats wrong, if something happened to you or if your mad at me, but Nikki and I need a ride. Can you please pick us up?", I said.
I put my phone back in my pocket, Nikki glanced at me, worried too.
"I'm sure he's fine, he's probably in the shower and doesn't hear his phone", she said.
I nodded. Brie and Eva walked out. Jumping in their car without saying anything. Eva gave me a small smile. An hour passed.
"Let me try John", she said.
I nodded. She went through her purse.
"Shit I don't have my phone", she said.
I handed her mine.
"Damn it", she said.
"What?", I asked.
"Your phone died", she said.
I took it from her trying to turn it back on. I sighed. Spotting a yogurt shop.
"I feel like yogurt, want some?", I asked.
"Sounds good, better than hanging out here", she said.
"Yeah, people might mistake you for a hooker", I said.
She laughed.
"A hot well dressed hooker", she said, before looping her arm with mine as we crossed the street.
Once we got our yogurt we sat down at a table.
"Dang it", I said.
"What?", Nikki asked.
"Even if Dean does hear the message he won't know where to find us", I said.
She realized this too. I didn't give Dean the address to where we were going to be. I looked at the guy behind the counter who kept smiling at us. I got up and walked over to him, he looked like he was sixteen. He started to act shy once I reached the counter.
"Hi, James", I said, look at his name tag.
He smiled shyly at me.
"Listen my phone died and I have no way of contacting my friend, would you mind letting me borrow your phone for a second?", I asked.
"I'm sorry but no one can use the store phone but employees, but you can use my cell phone", he said.
He took it out handed it to me, I smiled back at him.
"Thanks, you're a big help", I said.
I went to sit with Nikki again, she smirked at me.
"You can go to jail for flirting with a child you know", she said.
"I wasn't flirting, I was simply using my charm", I said.
"Yes, your womanly charm", she said.
I giggled, remembering Roman's number. No answer. I groaned. Dialing Seth's, nothing. I was starting to worry something really bad happened to them since they were always together. Handing Nikki the phone, she shook her head.
"I don't know anyone's numbers but my own", she said, raising her hands.
"Nik", I sighed.
"I'm sorry", she said.
"There's one more person I could try, but you're not going to like it", I mumbled.
She squinted at me. She knew who I was talking about but gave in, knowing it was our only chance. Dialing, hearing his voice pick up.
"Hello?", he asked.
"Hey Randy", I said.
"Alex?", he sounded confused.
"Yeah, listen I can't get a hold of the guys, my phone died and Nikki doesn't have hers but anyways Nikki I are stuck at this yogurt place", he didn't wait for me to finish.
"Give me the address", he said.
I smiled to myself, looking at my napkin which had the name and address to the place.
He said he would be there in a few. Handing Nikki the phone, tilting my head towards the kid. Who's eyes I felt on us still, not because he was worried about his phone. Nikki got up, handing the kid his phone cupping his face, turning it to kiss him on his cheek.
"You saved us", I heard her say.
The kid giggled shyly, which let me know she had him wrapped around her little finger. I'm sure if she asked him to jump off a bridge for her now, he would. She came back, sitting down.
It was almost seven pm when I saw Randy pull up, leaving the place and waving at the kid. I was gonna get in the back, but Nikki beat me to it. Getting in, Randy glanced at me.
"Where's Ambrose?", he asked.
He said it like he didn't like it that Nikki I were out here alone. I shrugged.
"Thanks for picking us up", Nikki said.
"It's no problem. I'm not going to leave you guys out here alone, no matter how much you hate me", he said.
Backing out of the space. Nikki looked down.
"If it helps, your back on my top ten list", Nikki said.
I chuckled. Randy smirked.
"I'll take it", he said.
He handed me his phone.
"Call Ambrose", he said.
I looked at him confused. He chuckled.
"I want him to know you're safe, he's probably freaking out that he can't get a hold of you. I know I would", he said softly.
"Thanks", I said low.
Dialing Dean's number again, someone answered. I couldn't hear over the loud music coming from the other side.
"Hello, Dean. Dean", I said screaming.
Someone hung up. Looking at the phone I dialed it again, no answer. I dialed Roman then Seth, nothing. Randy's hands gripped the wheel. He was getting angry. I placed my hand on his shoulder, squeezing it. He turned to smile at me.
He turned his eyes back to the road, feeling Nikki kick my seat. I took my hand off of Randy's shoulder fast, realizing what I did. Getting back to the hotel, I heard that same loud music coming from the bar in the hotel. I walked towards it without even realizing I was. Till I felt Nikki's arm loop mine. Randy was on my other side. Walking in I saw the Shield, cheering and taking shots, anger rising in me.
I took my arm from Nikki and rushed over there. Taking the mug out of Dean's hand and slamming it hard on the table. He turned to me angry, then it went away when he noticed it was me.
"Doll face", he said, his words slurred.
"This is why you couldn't call me back?", I said softly.
He looked at me confused. His eyes darted to his phone, I saw his eyes trying to focus but couldn't. Looking back up, he noticed Randy and Nikki now next to me.
"What the fuck are you doing with him?", he asked slurred.
"Don't. Atleast he was there", I yelled.
"No no no, you don't get to play the angry card here, I, Roman, Seth, Nikki, everyone here gets to do that, you lied to us", he said.
Not making any sense, he was too drunk.
"Nikki sit, sit, sit, you look so gorgeous tonight", Roman said, his words slurred as well.
"Not as gorgeous as me though", Seth said, chuckling at his own joke.
"No, Lexi's gorgeous. You should see her naked. Oh wait you have", Dean said.
They all laughed. Randy moved in front of me.
"You let them see her naked? What kind of person does that? You say you love her then do this. You're sick. She needed you tonight and you weren't there", Randy said.
Dean stood up. Anger on his face now. Drunk, angry Dean wasn't a good Dean.
"This coming from the man, who slipped his dick into another woman, when he had a great one beside him. I'm not you Orton", Dean spat at him.
Randy took a dangerous step towards him.
I felt Nikki pull me back a little. Roman seemed to sober a little to realize this wasn't good. Looking at him, he got up, his walking slow as to not trip. He took Nikki and I, moving us out of the way just in case.
"Stay here", Roman said protectively.
"Thats why. You learned nothing from my mistakes. I wasn't there for her, I thought you would be but I was wrong. You're nothing but trash Ambrose, drunk trash who thinks about no one but himself, something could have happened to them", Randy spat back.
Dean poked Randy in the chest, he was really angry now, his face was red and his body shook.
"That's not true. I always put her first, I would die before I let anything happen to her or our child", Dean spat.
I caught my breath and Nikki looked at me. I pulled Roman's arm to look at me.
"You told him?", I asked.
"No, he found your file", Roman said, stumbling from when I pulled him.
Nikki held onto his arm to steady him. Seth was trying to get up. Dean walked over to me almost stumbling. Randy glanced at me before pushing Dean away from me.
"Don't touch her", Randy said.
Dean fell back into a table, trying to regain his balance. Dean's look said he wanted to kill Orton.
"Dean stop", I yelled.
"You think I'd hurt her, I wouldn't", Dean yelled at Randy.
"Well that doesn't change anything. I don't trust you with her", Randy said, pointing at me.
Dean finally regained his balance, moving fast towards Randy. I jumped in front of him, he pushed me aside, landing in Seth's arms. He fell back a little into their table, his arm wrapped around me.
"You ok sweetheart?", he mumbled into my ear.
I nodded, my body shaking. I watched as Dean tackled Randy to the floor. Punching him in the face as hard as he could. Randy tossed him aside jumping on Dean, throwing punches too. Bryan and Batista showing up and pulling them apart. Brie stood next to Nikki watching. She saw me in Seth's arms and they both rushed over to me. Seth let me go once he saw the girls. Bryan and Roman were holding onto Dean tight.
"Let me go, I'm gonna kill him", Dean growled at them.
"Dean calm down", Roman's voice was deep and loud.
"No, I'm gonna kill him", Dean said again.
Batista let Randy go. Knowing Randy wasn't as wild with anger as Dean was. Randy's eye was bleeding, it was starting to swell. Blood coming from his nose as well. He looked at me.
"Randy", I said.
He put his hands up, giving me a look that said it was ok. He and Batista walked out. Dean was still trying to break free from Roman and Bryan's grip. Tears falling from my eyes. Brie squeezed me tight, fear in her eyes. The Bellas have never seen him this angry before. Brie started to pull me away with her.
"Lets go Bryan", Brie said.
He nodded, following. Dean jumped up. Trying to grab a hold of me. Bryan pushed him back.
"No, she's coming with us. Right now, you're the last person I want to leave her alone with. Let us know when your sober. If that's ok with you", Bryan said, anger in his voice.
"No fucking way, that's my woman. She comes with me", Dean said, stepping up to Bryan.
"What are you going to do Jon? Push me like you did her, or are you going to yell at her? Huh, which one?", Bryan asked.
Dean's eyes glanced over to me, soft and warm. He realized he had pushed me.
"You're lucky Seth caught her", Nikki said angry.
"She's safe with us, come and see her when you're sober and can actually carry a conversation without slurring your words", Brie said.
"She's safe with me, she will always be safe with me", Dean's voice was a sad tone.
I pulled the girls arms from me. Walking towards Dean, Bryan stopped me.
"Just give me a second", I said.
Bryan hesitated before dropping his arm. I cupped Dean's face, sadness in his eyes. I kissed his lips softly.
"Go back to your room and sleep this off. I'll be by in the morning to see how you are", I whispered to him.
"You don't feel safe with me?", he whispered.
"I do baby. I know you didn't mean for what happened today to happen. I didn't either, this was my fault, but we can talk in the morning when I know your going to remember our conversation", I said.
"Ok, I love you", he said, kissing my nose.
"I love you too", I said.
I left with the girls and Bryan, leaving them standing there.
