Chapter 37

(Warning: Sexual Content, Language, and Sensitive Situations)

"So when did the pain start?" Doctor Morgan asked as he pressed his fingers gently on my lower abdomen again and I winced.

"Two weeks ago? It was pretty sharp so I thought I strained a muscle but now it only hurts when I touch that area" I explained as he pulled his hands back and nodded.

"I'm going to set up an ultrasound, I'm sure it's nothing but just to make sure alright?" I nodded and pulled my shirt down "Relax for a few minutes, I'll be back" I nodded again and stayed lying down as he left the room and I took in a deep breath.

This is why Peaches needed me to go see the doctor to get the clearance to compete, I had gone to him briefly and brought up the pain so he suggested in seeing my personal doctor but I was a wuss when it came to this stuff. I hated the dentist and the doctors, they both gave me the creeps because I wasn't in control, they were.

Minutes later a nurse walked back in with Dr. Morgan and they set up the ultrasound machine "This is going to be cold" The nurse said and I nodded

"Yeah I know" I mumbled and then she proceeded to turn the machine on and press the device to my lower stomach and moved it around slowly.

"Hm" Dr. Morgan said "The accident was 3 years ago correct?" I nodded

"Yeah, why what's that have to do with anything?" I asked as he flipped through some of my paperwork

"It looks to me that you are having menstrual cramps, it's completely normal but I'm sure it was a shock to feel those types of pain again"

"How is that even possible? I only have a half working ovary and the other was removed after the accident"

"See this black spot?" Dr. Morgan said as he pointed towards the monitor and I nodded "That there is your ovary and it's not half working anymore, it's completely healed. And yes you only have one ovary but you don't need both to be working to feel cramps" I nodded and kept my eyes on the screen "Now you said that you and your boyfriend are sexually active, have you been using protection?" Now I was really confused.

"Why would we need it if I can't get-"

"You can get pregnant" I blinked a few times "According to this, you aren't but there is a risk" I nodded slowly "Thank you Nurse Karen" He said as she wiped the gel off of my stomach and left the room after.

"So I can get pregnant… my doctor who performed the surgery said that there wasn't a chance ever again"

"I guess he didn't understand how the human body works because wounds do heal overtime" I pressed my hand over my stomach and nodded "So this is a good thing, would you like to be set up on birth control?" I nodded almost instantly.

"Yeah that would be smart… so this pain should go away?" He nodded

"Yes, give it a few days; I'm sure it's just your body adjusting" He signed the papers then and handed them to me "I'll put that prescription for you, it should be ready in a half hour"

"Thank you" He nodded and let me check out.

'How'd the dr.'s go?' – Dean

I sighed and looked over the text and typed the truth and then deleted it and went with a simple answer.

'Fine, all cleared'

I didn't receive a text back from him so I tossed the new phone into my bag as I pulled out of the parking lot and headed to the store where I picked up the pack of pills and then back to the apartment. It took me little less than twenty minutes to be sitting on my couch with a coffee in my hand while I flipped through channels. I had already gone to the gym, then to Verizon, and I went to the doctors and now I had nothing to do.

"How do I look?" Paige asked as she came into the living room dressed in high waisted blue jeans and a cute half black misfit's shirt. Her hair was in curls, she looked perfect.

"Where is he taking you again?"

"To a late lunch and then to a show, he didn't tell me who but we like the same stuff…" I nodded and smiled at her

"You look great, his jaw should hit the floor when he sees you" She grinned wide and I could see the blush come to her cheek quickly before she turned to finish up her look for the afternoon and night. Smiling wide, I took a long sip from my hot coffee and the doorbell rang twice "Wow he's even getting out of the car to come collect you" I mumbled as I got up "Don't worry I've got it!" I called to Paige who was still in her room.

Opening up the door I was surprised on who was on the other end. "You're not Seth" I said as I looked at the taller blonde with his snapback turned backwards on his head "What are you doing here?"

"I texted you yesterday"

"I know that" I laughed "Hi?" I said as I hugged him and he squeezed me to his tall body and then let him inside.

"What are you doing today?"

"Nothing really… but obviously I have plans now, what's up? Why are you in Tampa?" I asked him as I hopped back onto the couch again and he sat down next to me. He took his hat off and ran his fingers back through his blonde curly hair and I smiled a bit.

"I have a show tonight and you're coming" I raised an eyebrow at Chase and he chuckled "Unless you don't want to…"

"No I'll go, I just have to change; give me a few minutes" He nodded and then the doorbell rang again "That has to be Seth, hold on."

I grabbed the door and there was the two toned best friend of mine "Hey… why is there a giant ass tour bus outside?"

"A friend of mine… wait" I pushed his shoulder a bit and saw the tour bus in front of the apartment building and started to laugh and looked back at Chase on the couch who had the remote in his hand "You brought the tour bus? You're crazy."

"I didn't have a car" He laughed "Hey man" He stood up as Seth made his way into the apartment "I'm Chase"

"Seth" He said as they shook hands.

"Chase is in town; apparently he's playing tonight so I'm going to go to that… And I'll get Paige for you" Seth nodded at me after he looked over Chase again to make sure nothing else was going to be happening tonight. I knocked on Paige's door and she opened it up, she was wearing her black leather jacket and shoes now. "Seth's here for you, Chase is here so don't mind the huge fucking bus outside"

"Chase is here? Really? What are you two doing?"

"He's in town for a concert tonight so I'm going to that, music and a big crowd… it'll get my mind off things for a couple hours" She nodded and hugged me tight

"Call me if you need me alright?" I nodded

"I won't but sure… have fun tonight and I want all the details on Friday" She grinned and then walked down the hallway. I walked into my room and pulled off my sweats and pulled on black skinnies and a guns and roses fitted t-shirt. Tugging my hair from the ponytail it was in; I sprayed some product into it and checked my makeup in the mirror before pulling my leopard vans on and grabbed my leather jacket. "All set, let's go cowboy!"

"You know I love it when you call me that" He grinned as he shut the television off and stood up and followed me out of the apartment. I quickly locked it and we got onto the tour bus and were off. "So what does your schedule look like next month?"

"Busy probably why?" I asked as I sat back on the couch and he handed me a beer from the fridge.

"Think you could spare two days straight?"

"Why Chase?" I asked again, he was always so cryptic.

"Video shoot" I sighed. I had been in his videos since he started out; apparently I was the only girl he wanted to work with.

"What song?" I asked "I'll talk to Mark about it, maybe I can spare two days but it'll have to be a Wednesday and Thursday" He nodded

"It's for '50 Shades of Crazy', just let me know" I nodded and tapped the neck of my bottle against his before taking a long, much needed sip of the beer. "So how are you and what's his name?"

"Dean?" I asked and he nodded "We're pretty great, he's home in Vegas for the day. We have to do a Wizard World tomorrow in Chicago so tonight will be a much welcomed break away from anything wrestling" He grinned and slung his arm over my shoulders and pulled me into his side "Who are you playing with?"

"Sam Hunt and Lee Brice" I nodded and smirked. I had never met Sam but I did listen to his music from time to time.

"You better dance with me for that Lee Brice song"

"No doubt baby girl" He took a swing of his beer and I kept by his side once we arrived at the arena and I slipped my sunglasses onto my eyes as the fan girls started to scream for Chase. I grabbed another beer backstage and was introduced to some new faces. I pulled my phone off when Chase went up to do a quick sound check and took a photo of him and sent it to Dean.

'Wish you were here' I put as the caption. My phone started to ring a few minutes later and I smiled as Dean's photo popped up on my screen.

"Hey you" I greeted him

"Hey, where are you?"

"Chase came and surprised me, I'm backstage at his show but it doesn't start for another three hours"

"That was nice of him" I heard his tone and I rolled my eyes

"What are you up to?" I asked to further the conversation

"Headed out with the guys so I thought I'd call now instead of later"

"Why? I love hearing you talk gibberish when you're drunk" He chuckled then over the phone and I couldn't help but smile wider.

"Then I might call… Chase is a good dude; he'll get you home after the show?" He asked

"Of course and if not then I'll call Roman because he's in town, either way I'll get home safely and I'll see you at Wizard World at eleven"

"I love you" He said and I felt my chest tighten up a bit

"I love you too, talk to you later stud" I hung up then and entered the side stage and walked out while Chase continued to hum and sing softly into the microphone as the band played around him.

"You got me; you got me three to four sheets to the wind, the wind without no drinks…" He sang and wrapped an arm around me and I giggled. I pulled my phone out and snapped a quick photo of the two of us and sent it to twitter.

"Hanging with this loser ChaseRicMusic tonight, if you're in the Tampa area come check out the show it starts at 7!" I posted it and Chase let me go so I could look at my mentions and there was a link to a youtube video that was being sent to me by a lot of people. Raising an eyebrow, I smiled up at Chase and the band and walked backstage again and clicked on the link.

"DJ Hyde tells a hilarious Dean Ambrose Story" was the headline and I contemplated listening to it and checked to make sure no one was around and I clicked play. I held the phone speaker up to my ear so I didn't have to turn it up really loud. DJ Hyde proceeded to describe a time in the indies when Dean was drunk in a bear suit, and then slept with a woman while accidently taping it.

I swallowed hard and shut my phone off. Why did my curiosity get the best of me? Maybe because any time I would ask him about his past he would just dismiss it and say it didn't matter? Was this really how he was like? I raked my fingers back through my hair and grabbed another beer from the cooler and cracked it open.

I felt sick to my stomach to learn this from a damn youtube video, and now the fans knew. I downed half of the beer quickly to keep the bile from coming up and it wasn't helping anything, especially my running thoughts. The music cut off on the stage and the guys piled backstage. "Hand me one sugar?" Chase asked as I leaned over and picked up a beer and gave it to him. "You look pale, what's up?"

"Not feeling too hot all of a sudden" I mumbled as I shot the rest of my beer back and tossed the bottle into the blue bin where the empties were going. "I'll be okay though, don't you worry" I poked his chest and he grinned and caught my hand as I grabbed another beer "I do wish you guys had something stronger though."

"Try this on for size" Sam said behind me and I turned and took a look at the Jose Cuervo.

"Oh you just became my new favorite person Sammy" I took the bottle and took a sip and winced but then took another and it wasn't too bad. Chase took the bottle next and took a shot.

Later after the show started, I danced along with some of the girls backstage as Chase sang on the stage and to say I was just a little drunk was an understatement. During Sam and Lee's set's I continued to drink and drink more when the ladies of the band showed up and I got along with all of them surprisingly. Tiffany, the wife of the drummer in Chase's band twirled me around and kept her hand with mine while we danced around.

"I think you've had enough sweetie" She said once the Jose Cuervo bottle was passed along to me again and I narrowed my eyes at the pretty brunette but nodded at her once I felt myself falling backwards a bit "Come on, let's take a break" I nodded again as she wrapped her skinny arm around my lower back and we walked slowly towards the couch and I plopped down as she handed me a bottled water. I took a couple sips and then screwed the cap back on.

"He's a great singer" I mumbled

"He is; how long have you two been friends?"

"Almost three years" I sighed and kept my eyes closed and enjoyed the vibration of the bass going through the backstage area.

"How long has she been out?" Chase asked once he walked backstage and saw that I had fallen asleep with my head in Tiffany's lap.

"About fifteen minutes ago" Tiffany said as she continued to brush her soft fingertips along my hairline and back through my curly blonde hair.

"I should probably get her back" He chuckled and leaned over me and sighed "Hey Abs, wanna go home?"

I nodded through my dreamy haze and he took my hands and pulled me to sit up. "Take my car, it'll probably be easier" Tiffany said as she handed him her car keys.

"Thanks Tiff" He said as he got me to stand "You gotta open your eyes girl" I shook my head and he chuckled lightly again "Fine, up you go then" He crouched down and I fell over his shoulder and he stood up.

"Don't forget her bag" Tiffany said as she handed it to him and he nodded at her and a few others and then walked out of the side door and found the red pickup truck and tossed me into the passenger's seat before climbing into the driver's side.

"Jose is not my friend" I mumbled as he drove

"Should have stuck to beers but you definitely made a few new friends tonight thanks to Jose" I nodded and turned my head and looked at him.

"I have to be up for an eight am flight, Jose blows" He laughed and slid his hand onto my knee and patted it gently.

"You'll be okay, I've seen you run on little to no sleep while being drunk before" I nodded and put my hand over his and gave it a small squeeze. "Here we are" He stated a few minutes later and he helped me get out of the truck and I fished for my keys in my big bag. He unlocked the door for me and handed me the keys. "Are you going to be alright from here?" I nodded

"Thanks for inviting me out" He smiled and wrapped his arms around my lower back and I wrapped an arm around his shoulders in a hug.

"I'll see you later baby girl, get some sleep" I nodded and shut and locked the door behind me and stumbled into the coffee table once I turned around.

"Ow you son of a bitch" I cursed and felt the sore pain coming to my shin while I walked to my bedroom. I got my shoes off easy and my jacket as well; but the jeans proved to be difficult so I just left them on and grabbed my phone to put it on the charger by my bed. I set the alarm again for six and almost instantly fell asleep.

Waking up was incredibly difficult especially because I still felt drunk. I could hear someone moving around in the kitchen but I didn't even want to bother to tell them to keep it down. Stupid me, I kept my door open last night. Taking in another deep breath, I sat up and made sure my head was somewhat on straight and stood up and shut my alarm off. Glancing at my phone, I shook my head when I saw the three missed calls from Dean and four texts. I didn't bother answering any of them back just yet.

"You look like…" Seth said and I looked at him in the kitchen with his shirt off, he was just in sweats.

"Shut up" I grumbled and walked into the bathroom and made myself get sick in order to get some of whatever alcohol was left in my stomach out of my system. Then I took a shower and did my makeup in the mirror afterwards. There was a knock on the bathroom door and I opened it up a peak.

"I made you an omelet and the coffee's brewing, good luck today" Seth said and I smiled and opened up the door and hugged him.

"Thank you" He nodded and rubbed my back gently and then let me finish up in the bathroom. So apparently his date with Paige went well if he stayed the night; that at least made me happy this morning.

I made sure my two suitcases were packed for the house shows this weekend as well as Raw and SmackDown and that I remembered to pack my championship title because that would have been stupid of me. I dressed in my vans, dark blue skinnies with rips at the knees and an AJ Lee shirt just for shits and giggles.

The private WWE jet was waiting for me at the airport and I was happy I could at least sleep for two more hours on the plane alone without being bothered and that's exactly what I did. I put my headphones on and just lay back in the comfy seat. I wish I had enough money for a private jet to take me everywhere but that wasn't possible. I had to be John Cena status before anything like that happened. But thankfully we were getting Jet rides to all of our appearances, thanks to Vince for signing off on it of course.

I made sure to pull my leather jacket on before exiting the plane at ten fifteen, and then I pushed my sunglasses onto my eyes once I got inside the airport. There was a black SUV waiting for me outside and the driver put my bags into the trunk after I grabbed the Diva's title from one of them first. The last time I was in Chicago things didn't end so well so hopefully today things would be different. Plus I was stuck here for the night so maybe I'd call up AJ and take her up on that Coffee date she wanted to do.

"Here are your passes" Greg, the main man of Wizard World handed me two lanyard's and I clipped them to my belt buckle "You probably already know the gist but I'll go over it again for my own peace of mind… first is the panel, a simple Q and A and then you'll be off with Mr. Ambrose for photo Op's with fans" I nodded "Then you can either walk around or leave but I do suggest sticking around to enjoy the sights and sounds of Wizard World"

"I'll definitely be sticking around Greg, thank you. Where is Dean?" I asked

"Just through here" He said as we walked through a set of double door and there he was eating at a table with a hot coffee currently up to his lips. He looked up from the table and smirked, but all I could do was press my hand to my stomach because I felt sick. DJ Hyde's came back up into my head once again.

I was in love with a guy I didn't even know. How was this even possible?
