Georgina Hale's Point Of View
A gentle yet sturdy knock sounded on my hotel room door the next morning. I jolted awake, my body taking a few seconds to realise where I was or what was happening. I looked around, the room still shrouded in darkness. Past the gap in the closed curtains a gentle light shone through. I yawned and looked down at my cellphone that sat on my bedside table. It was 6am.
I yawned again, the knock sounding for a second time. So I got out of bed and wrapped my dressing gown around my body to answer it.
It was far too early in the morning for interruptions like this, so whatever Hunter or whoever was here had to say better be worth it.
But as I opened the door, a feeling of happiness and relief washed over me as I saw it wasn't a vile member of The Authority who was waking me up. It was Dean Ambrose in all his handsome glory.
"Morning, sleepy head," he said with a smile and a wink, an expression I had not seen on his face in a long time.
"You do know it's 6 in the morning, right?" I said as he kissed my forehead and walked into the room, closing the door behind him. "And if anyone spots you here you're a dead man."
"Guess I'll just have to take that risk then, won't I?" he said with a smirk.
I couldn't help the smile that washed over my lips at Dean's upbeat attitude. Ever since I'd revealed the truth to him last night, he'd been like his old self again. He no longer seemed mopey or sad or lost. It was like divulging the truth had put the pep back in his step again, like he had this new found sense of optimism. Sure, he still had to play the part and he was not allowed to reveal what was truly going on, but knowing I was not the enemy and was still on his side had brought the old Dean back.
Yeah… plus you told him you loved him and you kissed him on more than one occasion!
Indeed, I was pretty sure that had a large part to do with it too.
We'd admitted our feelings, we'd told each other how we'd felt, and after what felt like a lifetime of waiting, this wonderful man was finally mine. And I was his, all his. It didn't matter what The Authority did to me or made me do, they could never change my head or my heart. Both belonged to Dean Ambrose, and it would remain that way forever.
I'd been through too much to let this man go now I finally had him. He was the one ray of sunshine I had amongst all this chaos. He was my one lifeline to normality, and I loved him with every fiber of my being.
"What are you even doing here?" I asked. "You know you could get caught at any moment."
"I came bearing gifts," he said, holding up a bag I hadn't even realised he'd been holding. He sat down on my bed and I sat down beside him, curling my legs up beneath me.
"You got me a gift?" I asked curiously.
"Sure did," he said, handing me the bag. "Open it."
I did as he said, taking the bag and dipping my hand into it, pulling out the box inside. I looked at the picture on the front of it.
"It's… a cell-phone," I stated.
"Sure is," he said proudly.
"But I already have a cell-phone."
"Well now you have two," he shrugged.
I stared at it in confusion before looking up at Dean questioningly. "Okay… I don't understand."
He ran a hand through his hair before taking my hand in his.
"Look, to put us through all the shit they have, The Authority clearly know what they're doing. I'm not sure how far their hold on you goes, but we can't trust them with anything. They are having you watched and for all we know they have you tracked or even your phone tracked. With this one, we can talk to one another without the worry of them."
"Really?" I asked, looking back down to the box.
"I've set it all up for you and put my number in it. And I've got that number on my phone too," he explained. "It means we can keep in contact safely. They will never know."
"How did you manage this?" I asked, looking back up to him.
"I always have a trick or two up my sleeve."
"But how did you get a phone this quick or this early in the morning?"
"I have my ways," he said with a wink, causing me to smirk.
"You're… amazing. Did you know that?" I said in amusement.
"You've told me once or twice," he replied as I put the box back down onto the bed.
I looked up at him, wrapping my arms around his waist and resting against him, closing my eyes as I held him close. I felt his arms snake around my body, his fingers on my waist as he pulled me up onto his lap.
It was crazy how easy I found it to be this intimate around this man so quickly. We'd only admitted the truth of our feelings a matter of hours ago, not to mention we'd been at one another's throats for days before that. But it was the natural draw we had to one another. It was the dire need we had for each other. It was like all was right in the world when Dean was here. It didn't matter about The Authority or the horrible position we were in.
If Dean was here with me, nothing could hurt me.
He was my comfort blanket, the one who could calm all the madness down. I guessed that's what love did to people.
"Thank you," I said softly as I buried my face in his neck, breathing in his scent. He smelt of aftershave and leather.
"Anytime," he replied, and I could hear the smile in his voice. "Anything for you."
"How are you feeling this morning about everything I told you?" I asked him, my fingers playing with a loose piece of cotton on the collar of his t-shirt.
"Well I've had all night to think about it," he said. "And to be honest it's just made me more determined than ever to get you out of this."
"That's gonna be easier said than done," I sighed. "The Authority aren't stupid. They know exactly what they're doing."
"And don't I fucking know it," he said. "I just wish you'd let me tell Roman and Seth."
"No, Dean," I said, pulling away from his neck and looking up at him.
"But why not?" he asked. "Surely four heads are better than two in all this."
"Because it's dangerous enough that you know," I replied. "You don't mess with Hunter and Steph. If they know that you've found out the truth, they will stick to their word and all four of us will be out on the curb with no jobs and no career. I'm not risking that."
"But-"
"But nothing," I said sternly. "Dean, this is hard enough to deal with. They have eyes everywhere. Its already worrying me that they'll figure out you know. I can't have extra people involved in this. At least not until we have a plan to sort all this out."
"And we will figure all this out," he assured me. "I promise."
"I know we will," I said with a smile.
"And until then, you have this to keep in touch," he said, gesturing to the phone that lay on the bed.
"Thank you," I replied, leaning up and kissing his lips softly. His hand came round to the back of my neck, pulling me closer, making the kiss deeper.
I hated that I couldn't be with this man and my friends full time, but at least the phone gave me an escape and a safe point of contact. It was shitty, but it would have to do for now. At least until we had a solution to our problems.
xXx
As I walked through the arena that following Monday, I stared mindlessly at the message I'd received that afternoon on my phone, my heart sinking as I read it for what was probably the 23rd time that afternoon.
Georgie, it's Becky. Please message me or call me back. I have no idea what is happening or why it's happening,, but I don't care. We don't have to talk about any of it. I just miss my best friend. Please, just call me. I'm begging you. B x
I hadn't seen or spoken to Becky since the night I'd turned on the boys. I'd had countless missed calls and text messages from her, but I hadn't responded to one. It was wrong and it was selfish of me, but I doing it for her own safety as well as mine. Becky knew me too well and she knew I'd crumble under the pressure of her constant questioning. She'd figure out what was going on in a matter of minutes and I couldn't risk that.
So I'd taken the coward's way out and I'd chosen to ignore her. That way she couldn't learn the truth and potentially run the risk of losing her job too. It was just safer this way.
I felt like utter shit doing it. I never ignored Becky like this. She was my best friend in the whole wide world, a woman who had been by my side through thick and thin. She was practically my sister. But I did what I had to in order to keep the truth secret. I was just grateful she still had someone like Sami by her side so she wasn't completely alone.
I closed the message and slid my phone into my pocket as I walked swiftly through the arena corridors to the locker room I'd been assigned. I just wanted to get there as soon as possible so as to avoid a conversation with anyone or get stuck answering questions I didn't want to answer.
But when does luck ever swing my way, huh?
No sooner had I put my phone away did I see Seth and Dean walking towards me. I wasn't sure where Roman was but it wasn't a concern of mine. What was a concern, however, was the irritated look on Seth's face as his eyes finally landed on me.
After the shit spewed from Triple H's mouth last week on TV, I could see why he looked pissed off with me. After all he hadn't seen the hurt on my face like Dean had. To him, I had agreed with every word The Authority had said. I'd fully established myself as his enemy, and now he was seeing me for the first time since all that. It was a relief to see Dean at his side, but that didn't make me any less worried about the confrontation that was no doubt about to happen.
But I sucked it up and held my head up high, giving of an air of indifference to him. I walked past him as he gave me the dirtiest look he could muster. I scoffed at it but the noise didn't go unheard by him as he stopped in his tracks to speak to me.
"If you got something to say, Hale, just fucking say it," he said to me, causing me to turn to look at him. His face was a picture of hatred, but my eyes did notice Dean grab his arm, thankfully pulling his friend back.
"I think I said everything I needed to last week, Rollins," I said to my former friend. "Or perhaps Hunter was right. Maybe you were too stupid to hear and understand it."
"Son of a bitch," he seethed, taking another step in my direction. Dean's strong hands stopped him firmly.
"Dude, don't rise to it," he said to his friend. "Look at her, she's not worth it. Let the little bitch run off to the pigs."
Dean's words hurt, but I knew I shouldn't take them seriously. He was simply playing his part. He was doing what I'd asked and he was making this whole break-up believable. And I was grateful for that.
"Go have fun with the mid-card," I told Seth. "That's all you're worth anyway," I said before turning on my heel and walking away from them. It wasn't till I was out of sight and in my locker room that I could fully relax. I closed the door behind me and rested my head on the wood, a breath of relief leaving my body.
I hated this. Acting so vile to them was so out of character to me. Seth wasn't mid-card, Seth was one of the greatest wrestlers I'd ever seen or worked with. But I had to keep this up; I had to act like a complete ass to them. Ironically, I had to play a heel.
I didn't want to and I didn't mean to… but I had to.
But as my second phone vibrated in my pocket and I pulled it out to read the message, a small smile did slither on to my lips.
Hope we did well enough just. Seth doesn't suspect a thing. I love you. So much. DA xx
In this world of sadness and drama and angst, at least I had one shining hope to hold onto. Without Dean I wouldn't be able to survive all this. I loved him, and I knew whatever happened, we'd only come out stronger from this.
Good. He can't know a thing. Love you too. G xx
