A/N: I own Persephone.

Thank you to Emmettluver2010 , FantaseyImager, Guest and Yankees01 for the reviewing!


I was glad that I didn't have to face Seth after finding out he was cheating. I mean he hadn't admitted it, but it looked pretty obvious from seeing him and her in that coffee shop. Cesaro had checked on me the next day and I told him I was alright, but I knew that even he knew I wasn't really alright. I made it through the next show and left immediately for the airport. Renee was going to Tampa to see Nikki and Brie, so I had days to myself in Vegas. I hadn't even told Seth that I was leaving... I just left. I didn't feel that I owed him anything anymore.

I walked into my apartment and fell onto my bed. I was happy to be in my current home. I looked over to see a picture of Seth and I on my nightstand. I don't know what came over me, but I picked up the picture and threw it as hard as I could at the wall by the front door. I sighed and knew that I would pick it up later, but it felt good to do that. I was staring at the ceiling when I someone knocked on my door. I was tempted to tell them to go away, but instead I dragged myself off the bed and to the door.

I stepped over the picture and opened the door to find Dean standing on the other side. I was seriously not in the mood to see him. I knew I owed him a thank you, but it wasn't about to happen right now.

"Renee is in Tampa." I said and he chuckled.

"No shit. I came to see you." he said and held up a case of Yeungling and some popcorn. I raised an eye brow as he pushed past me. I sighed and shook my head. He barely listened to Renee... he wasn't going to listen to me.

"Yes, Dean, please come in." I said as I shut the door behind him. He looked at the picture and shrugged as he walked over to the kitchen area of my studio.

"Seriously, what do you want?" I asked him and he leaned against the counter. I hadn't decided if I was thankful for having someone around, or just flat annoyed that he was the someone who was around. He was so hot and cold.

"I'm bored." he said and I sighed as I started to pick up the glass pieces from the picture. I swear he always needed a babysitter... I would have quit already if I was his PA.

"Fuck!" I hissed as a piece sliced through my finger. I shook it as I felt the blood flow down my finger. I stood up and Dean pulled me over to the sink. He turned it on and stuck my hand under the water. I watched as he then walked over and picked up the rest. He threw it away and held up the picture.

"Bastard." I mumbled and he chuckled as he let it fall into the trash can. He nodded in agreement and I knew that he wasn't going to start defending Seth anytime soon... he could stand him, not like him.

"Why are you being nice to me?" I finally asked him as he started to dry my hand. He put a band aid on it without saying anything.

"Dean." I said again and he looked at me.

"Why are you being nice?" I asked him again and he handed me a beer. I shook my head and gave up. I sat down on the couch and he followed.

We settled on The Departed because it was already playing on one of the channels. I was sitting there and suddenly became aware of Dean's actual presence. He moved and I got a whiff of his cologne. He smelled really good. I glanced over and he was in workout shorts, a wife beater, his black hat was on backwards, and had left his tennis shoes at the door. Dean wasn't a big guy, but he was a tall guy. He looked almost cramped on my little sofa and he had his foot hanging over the other side of the coffee table. He was imposing, and could come off as an asshole. I shifted a little and he glanced down at me. I quickly looked back at the TV, but he watched me for a second longer.

"You hungry?" he asked me and I looked at him quizically.

"I'm ordering Chinese." he said and stood up. The couch seemed much bigger without him on it. I quickly stood up to stop him.

"No, you don't have to... it's ok. I know you don't really care for Chinese." I said and put my hand over his. He looked at our hands and then me. I realized I was almost holding his hand and moved it. He looked at me and I started to walk past him, but he pulled me to him. I started to protest, but I didn't have time as his lips crashed onto mine. I was shocked and put my hands on his shoulder. I tried to push away, but he held me closer. I had no idea what was going on. My mind was screaming at me to get away, but my body just wanted to be next to his. My mind finally won out as I shoved him off and into the counter. He was looking at me with dark eyes and I didn't know what to do or think.

"I think you should leave." I finally whispered. He ran a hand over his face, but didn't move.

"Dean!" I snapped and he pursed his lips together.

"You are Renee's..." I was saying when he cut me off.

"Boy toy... I'm not stupid. I did love her, but not anymore. I fell out of love with her and I am ready to move on. I see you almost daily and... well, you knew that I hated Chinese. Renee doesn't even know that shit." he said and I realized just how frustrated he was with her and in that relationship. I forced myself to nod and show him that I was listening.

"I still have no idea what I'm doing with Seth... and you are with Renee. No matter what else this can't happen." I said and he almost looked disappointed.

"I will make it happen. I get what I want." he said and started for the door. He picked up his shoes and put his hand on the door. I wasn't sure if I should stop him or remain silent.

"Just don't let Seth use you." he said and walked out of my apartment. I sighed and looked at the ceiling. I was already confused and upset over the past few days. I had no idea if Dean was using me as well, or if he meant what he said. I almost just wanted to go back to being invisible and doing my job.


AN: What will she do?
