Chapter Twenty:

"No Randy forget it" Brooklyn said, walking to grab her bags.

"Brooklyn don't do this."

"Why not huh. You used me Randy. Did you think after I found out I would be okay with it."

"Look if you'd just let me explain." He grabbed her arm but she moved away from him.

"There's nothing to explain Randy. You used me to get a title. Then you treated me like shit for the past month and a half. I'm done. Go find someone else to use because its not going to be me anymore."

"Come on B, you're my girl." Brooklyn looked at Randy.

"No I'm not. Not anymore."Randy growled and was actually able to grab her this time and pull her to him.

"People won't believe you ya know. Who would believe that a sweet, innocent, girl like you would be stupid enough to be used. No one is going to believe you" he said, getting in her face. His words hit her like a ton of bricks. Would people actually think she lied? I mean, her and Randy had always been great friends so who would believe her, especially because everyone thought Randy was cool.

"I need to leave" she said, pushing him away from her.

"You know I'm right Brooklyn. No one will believe you and even if they do, they are just going to see how stupid you are for getting in a relationship with a man thirteen years older than you." Brooklyn swallowed the lump in her throat.

"Goodbye Randy." She grabbed her bags and walked out of the room, hearing a crash as soon as she closed the door but she didn't care. She just walked to the elevators to head to the lobby. On her way down, she couldn't help but think about what Randy said. He was right and it was in that moment she decided not to tell anyone. At least not yet.

Brooklyn's eyes fluttered open, her dream having woken her up. She hated thinking about that day and to see a flashback of it was even worse. She felt a tear sliding down her cheek and she wiped it away, not wanting to cry over it. She had done enough of that after it first happened.

She wasn't going to let the dream or flashback whatever it was ruin her day. Today was her birthday and she wasn't going to let some memories of an asshole ruin it. She looked to her left and saw Jon was missing. Furrowing her eyebrows, she sat up and saw a red rose was on his pillow along with a note.

Brooklyn, me and the boys went to the gym. I didn't wanna wake you so I left this note. I'm sorry I'm not there to say happy birthday when you wake up but as soon as I get back, I promise to celebrate with you. I love you.

Brooklyn smiled and smelt the rose. Roses were her favorite. Setting the note on the nightstand and finding a small vase to put the rose in, she grabbed a fresh set of clothes and went to shower. They were in one of her favorite cities, San Francisco, for Raw tonight. She hated working on her birthday but she loved going out there for the fans so it balanced out.

When she was done, she dried off and changed into a black jada dress that clung to her and left half her back bare. It was one of the dresses she didn't need a bra for so she knew Jon would love it.

Once she was done, she went back to the bedroom and placed her close in her bag before settling on the bed. She responded to all the birthday messages sent to her, even laughing when Brad put a picture collage of them on Instagram with all the pictures they had taken in the past three years.

She then went on Twitter and saw she had hundreds of notifications wishing her a happy birthday, but one caught her attention immediately. It was a tweet from Randy.

Happy Birthday to one of the sweetest and most beautiful woman I know. The only woman who will have my heart. You know who you are. I hope you have a great day.

Brooklyn rolled her eyes. She made sure to block him, not really sure why she hadn't before. While she was replying to everyone, she heard the door open followed by the mens voices.

"Will you shut up. Brooklyn could still be sleeping."

"Oh please she probably woke up the minute she didn't feel you right next to her." Brooklyn rolled her eyes at Colby. She heard a smack followed by Colby cursing making her giggle quietly. She hid behind the door when she heard Jon coming, smiling when he walked in and stopped when he didn't see her.

"Brooklyn?" He walked over to the bathroom and checked. Nothing. Turning back around, his arms were suddenly full with his girlfriend as she wrapped her legs around his waist.

"Hi" she said cheerfully.

"Hi yourself darlin" he said, chuckling. She smiled and kissed him softly.

"Happy birthday" he said before kissing her again.

"Thanks. And thank you for the rose, it was beautiful." Jon smirked and set her on her feet.

"No problem but that's not the only thing I got for you." He walked over to his suitcase and pulled out a wrapped box and handed it to her. She sat on the bed next to him and unwrapped it, gasping at what she saw.

It was a new Nike camera.

"J-Jon, this is amazing." Jon smirked as she opened the box completely.

"Well I know how much you love to take pictures so I thought you could have this to use instead of just your phone. Joe and Colby helped pick it out." Brooklyn smiled and kissed him passionately.

"I love it. Thank you." Jon smiled and kissed her again.

"I'm taking you to dinner tonight after Raw."

"Jon you don't have to. The camera is more than enough." Jon smirked and pulled her to straddle his lap.

"I want to. Now on to other things, are you wearing a bra." Brooklyn laughed as his hands roamed her back.

"Nope. I don't need one with this dress." He slipped his hand under the single spaghetti strap that was crossing her back near the top, feeling she did indeed not have a bra on.

"I think this is my new favorite dress." Brooklyn giggled and kissed him again.

"Randy subbed me on twitter." Jon looked at her weird, making her laugh again. She forgot he wasn't huge on the whole social media thing.

"It means he wrote a tweet about me but didn't mention my name or tag me in it." Jon nodded his head.

"What did he say?"

"Just happy birthday to the sweetest and most beautiful woman he knows and how I'm the only person who will have his heart. I blocked him." Jon laughed and pushed some hair out of her face.

"Good. Have you eaten yet?" Brooklyn shook her head. Jon stood up with her, making her laugh. He took the camera and placed it on the bed before walking out to the living room.

"We're gonna go get some food, you guys wanna come?"

"Sure."

"Happy birthday baby girl" Joe said when they got in the elevator.

"Thanks Joe."

"How old are you now. Like twenty five." Brooklyn laughed, so did Jon, his chest rumbling behind her.

"I'm twenty three jackass."

"You're a cradle robber dude." Jon scowled at his friends while Brooklyn giggled.

"I like older men" she whispered playfully in his ear, making him smirk. He kissed her softly before the elevator doors opened and they walked out. They walked down the block to a restaurant and were seated in the back. Typical.

"So did you like your present" Colby asked after they ordered. Brooklyn nodded and layed her head on Jon's shoulder.

"I love it." All men shared a look of male pride, making Brooklyn giggle softly. After they were done eating, they went back to the hotel and grabbed their bags before heading to the arena. After Raw, they had to travel to the next city so Brooklyn and Jon were leaving for their date right after the boys match.

"I have to go find AJ to grab one of her shirts. I'll be right back." Jon nodded and kissed her softly before she left.

"You didn't give her the other gift" Colby asked once Brooklyn was gone.

"No, I'm saving that for when we're at dinner. You guys don't think its to soon right?"

"Jon, we have never seen you like this with anyone. And from what we've heard, Brooklyn hasn't been like this with anyone either. Not even Randy. Stop being so afraid. Obviously moving fast works for you guys so relax." Jon nodded and checked his bag to see Brooklyn's other birthday present he bought her.

/*/

"Thanks AJ" she called when she left the divas locker room. She had gotten one of her black widow crop tee's to wear and she was pairing it with her jean shorts and converse. She had to get a black wig from hair and make up then her look would be complete.

When she got to the hair stylists, she saw Ariane was sitting in the chair, waiting for her hair to be done. She looked up and gave Brooklyn a fake smile.

"Hi Brooklyn."

"Hey Ariane." They lapsed into an awkward silence. Brooklyn couldn't deny she was angry with the diva for spreading the rumor around the locker room. Ariane was about to leave when Brooklyn stopped her.

"Ariane, can I talk to you for a minute?"

"Sure." They walked over a little away from the hair station.

"So I heard there is a rumor about me spreading around the locker room. And I've been hearing you started it." Ariane rolled her eyes.

"Look, I was just telling people what I heard. Its not a rumor if its true right."

"That's right but that doesn't give you the right to tell people my personal business. That was a private conversation behind closed doors with my parents."

"Then you shouldn't have been so loud about it." Brooklyn felt her anger rise and wanted to hit her so badly.

"Then you shouldn't have been outside my office." Both looked to see Stephanie standing there.

"I don't take eavesdropping well Ariane, especially on a private conversation between myself and my daughter." Ariane looked between the two women before excusing herself, knowing better then to pick a fight with Stephanie or Brooklyn.

"Thanks mom."

"No problem sweetie. Happy birthday." She pulled her into a hug.

"Thanks." Her mom smiled and Brooklyn grabbed her wig before heading of with her mom.

"Your present is on our office." Brooklyn smiled and walked with her mom. When she walked in, she saw her father standing with her back to them but something was weird. She heard panting.

"Okay Paul, she's here." Brooklyn gave her mom a weird look but when her father turned around she gasped.

"Aww!" She ran up and took the puppy that her father was holding.

"Oh my god, he's beautiful." It was a beautiful brown and white boxer puppy.

"We've known you always wanted one. He was just born a couple weeks ago." Brooklyn smiled and hugged her parents.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Her parents laughed. They knew she was having some issues with the whole Randy thing but they wanted to give her something that they knew would lift her spirits.

"So what did Jon get you."

"A new Nike camera." Her parents nodded. They were thinking about getting her the same thing but when Jon called and asked if she had already had one, they decided to let him be the one to give it to her.

"I gotta go show him my new baby. Bye guys, I love you and thank you so much." She hugged them again before heading back to the locker room. When she made it, she saw Jon was tapping his hands with his back to her and Colby and Joe gave her weird looks when she came in with a puppy. She held a finger up to tell them to be quiet and sneaked up behind Jon.

Lifting the new puppy, she giggled quietly when it started licking Jon's ear, making him jump. He turned around and saw his girlfriend holding a new puppy.

"Who's is that?"

"Mine. Mom and dad got it for me for my birthday. Isn't he cute." Jon smiled at how happy she seemed. He scratched the dog behind its ears.

"He is pretty cute. What's his name."

"I don't know I haven't thought of one yet. You don't mind that he lives with us do you." Jon gave her a look.

"Of course not darlin." Brooklyn smiled and put the dog on the ground, letting it sniff around.

"I ran into Ariane" she said when watching Joe and Colby pet him.

"What did she say?"

"That I shouldn't have been so loud telling my parents if I didn't want anybody to know. I almost hit her until mom came up." Jon chuckled and pulled her close to him. She sat there staring at the dog until she gasped.

"What, what happened."

"I think I came up with a name for him." She picked him up and stepped in front of Jon.

"Moxley." Joe and Colby started laughing when Jon smirked.

"Really. You want to name the dog after me?"

"Why not, I like the name. Do you" she asked the puppy, smiling when it licked her face.

"He likes it too. That's his name." Jon smiled and shook his head.

"Moxley it is. Who's gonna watch him when we go to dinner?" She looked at Joe and Colby with pleading eyes.

"Who are we to deny the birthday girl." Brooklyn smiled. When the show started, Brooklyn passed the dog off to Jon to go change. She had to admit, she really did look like AJ.

"Brooklyn!" Her head whipped to the door when she heard Colby yell. Grabbing her clothes and and make up bag, she walked out and saw Joe and Jon laughing while Colby looked disgusted.

"What?"

"Your dog just pissed on my shirt." Brooklyn rolled her eyes taking her dog from him.

"He was born like two weeks ago, give him a break."

"That's what sellouts get doesn't it" she said in a baby voice.

"Its a dog not a baby" Colby said before going into the bathroom.

"He's a baby" she said, sitting on the couch next to Jon. Jon chuckled.

"I'm gonna take him out before my match, wanna come?" Jon nodded as he played with the ends if her hair.

"Um Brooklyn, have you been on Twitter?" She looked at Joe who had a weird expression on his face.

"Not since when we were at the hotel why?" Joe sighed and handed his phone over. Brooklyn and Jon looked at it, seeing it was a dirt sheet report.

"What the fuck" Brooklyn said, scrolling through. It went on to share the story about how Randy and Brooklyn dated until he used her.

"How the hell did they find out?"

"Because fucking Ariane told one of the wreslters when they were with fans backstage thinking they were just crew." Brooklyn's anger suddenly surged at the diva again, that was until she read some of the comments left on the article. Some asking how didn't realize what Randy was doing and how she was basically a whore for going from Randy to Jon and how she was probably only with Jon to get back at Randy.

"You alright babe?"

"Yea. I-I'm gonna go take him out." She handed Joe his phone before grabbing the dog's leash and leaving.

"She alright man?"

"I doubt it. This was what she was worried about and why she never told anybody. Doesn't help that the story was spun to make her look bad. I'm gonna go find her." Joe nodded and Jon grabbed a sweatshirt before going to look for his girl.

Jon headed out back where all the cars and everything were, looking around for his girl. He finally found her sitting up on a crate with the dog laying next to her.

"Baby?" Brooklyn looked up at him before looking back down at her lap. He sighed on jumped up next to her.

"I hate the fangirls and Ariane" she said, making Jon chuckle a little.

"What does it matter what they say. We know the truth and that's all that matters, right?"

Brooklyn nodded, though she was still upset.

"Happy birthday to me" she said, wiping a tear away as quickly as it fell.

"Don't cry darlin. Don't let these people ruin your birthday." He pulled her to him and she layed her head on his shoulder.

"I knew I shouldn't have told anyone."

"Yes you should of. Ariane just shouldn't have been an eavesdropping bitch." Brooklyn giggled softly making Jon smile.

"It went from Brad and Nick knowing then you, then my parents, then the whole locker room to now the whole world."

"I know babe and I'm sorry. If I could do something I would you know that right." She nodded and he kissed her head. They sat there for a while before they had to head in so Brooklyn could go to her segment. She gave Moxley to Jon and kissed him while she waited. AJ was also going against Ariane tonight so Brooklyn was excited to see her get her ass kicked.

"Your up Brooklyn."

Let' light it up!

AJ and Cameron looked towards the ramp when Brooklyn came skipping out. The fans started cheering and AJ looked angry. Brooklyn gave her her best crazy smirk before skipping down the ramp over to commentary. She caught AJ glaring and she waved before sitting down.

"Hey guys" she said as she slipped her headset on and the match started.

"Brooklyn, how are you."

"I'm fantastic."

"We hear its your birthday today, happy birthday."

"Aw thank you, its been an awesome day." AJ threw Cameron into the corner and started stomping on her until the ref pulled her back.

"What do you think about facing AJ again Brooklyn."

"I can't wait to face her again. She needs to learn that I have earned my spot here and am not just some pretty face like Cameron there is." As she said that, AJ threw Cameron out of the ring and into the announce table. When she rolled out, she glared at Brooklyn, making the divas champ laugh.

Throwing Cameron back into the ring, she went in after before putting her in the black widow.

She didn't want to help Cameron win but since she knew she would get in trouble for not following the script, she threw her headset off and started skipping around the ring. AJ automatically let go of Cameron to yell at Brooklyn.

"Stop it! You'll never be like me, ever!" Brooklyn smirked and laughed when Cameron rolled her up and got the win. Brooklyn laughed as AJ went crazy in the ring. Shrugging her shoulder's, she skipped around again before heading backstage.

"I like when you get all crazy baby." Brooklyn giggled when she made it back to the locker room.

"I learned from the best." Jon smirked and wrapped his arm around her while Moxley jumped up on her lap.

Once they were gone for their match, Brooklyn showered and changed back into what she wore to the arena. Folding her clothes back up, she sat down to watch the match. It was the shield versus eleven different men. Brooklyn watched and scrolled through Twitter.

She saw a bunch of tweets to her asking about the dirt sheet report making her sigh.

"What's wrong with people Moxley." The puppy whimpered making Brooklyn smiled before petting him. When the match was done, she rolled her eyes as Evolution came out. Since the shield lost, they were sprawled out catching their breath. Brooklyn took notice when her father whispered something to Randy and he moved from going after Jon to Colby.

"That's what I thought" she said. They beat on the shield until they gained enough momentum to fight back and throw each member of her father's team out of the ring.

"Lets go wait for daddy" she said, smirking. She put the dog on its leash before heading to the gorilla.

"I didn't know you had a twin B." Brooklyn scowled at Dave before hitting him.

"Fuck you David." Dave laughed and pulled her into a hug.

"Happy birthday kid." Brooklyn smiled at him.

"Yea happy birthday B." Brooklyn rolled her eyes at Dave, making the older man laugh.

"Thanks." Randy nodded and bent down to pet the dig when Moxley nipped at him. Brooklyn had to cover her mouth to stop her laughter.

"What the hell" he muttered. Paul laughed before stepping up to pet the dog, smirking when he let him.

"Did you think of a name yet?"

"Yup. Moxley. Named after his daddy." Paul rolled his eyes making her laugh. She stayed for a few more minutes before heading back to the locker room.

When she made it back, Jon was already dressed and ready to go.

"Where were ya babe?"

"I went to go see dad. Guess what the dog did."

"Piss on more of my clothes" Colby grumbled making them laugh.

"No. He bit Randy." All the men started laughing and Jon picked him up.

"That a boy. Are you ready to go darlin?" Brooklyn nodded and handed the dog over to Joe before grabbing her purse and Jon's hand.

"Sorry its not anything to fancy" he said once they were seated at Olive Garden. Brooklyn smiled and squeezed his hand.

"Jon this is perfect. Relax." Jon smiled and rubbed his thumb over her hand. After they ate, they ordered dessert and Jon realized it was time to be a man and give Brooklyn her other gift.

"So what would you say if I told you the camera wasn't your only present?"

"I would say that the camera is more than enough and you didn't need to spoil me. Why?" Jon smirked and pulled her chair closer to him.

"I um, I'm not always so good with stuff like this and I understand if you think that its really soon that I'm doing this but I couldn't help myself. When I saw it, I knew I needed to get it for you." Brooklyn looked at him weird when he pulled out a square box. Her heart spread up a little. When he opened it, she saw a sterling silver ring with the infinity sign in the middle and small diamonds going down the side.

"This is a promise ring. These past almost two months have been the best Brooklyn. I know some people think this is to fast but I honestly see a future with you and Phil helped me realize that. I promise to be the best boyfriend and I can be and hopefully best husband in the future." Brooklyn felt the tears in her eyes and smiled at him.

"I love you." Jon smiled and wiped her tears away.

"I love you too. So, will you wear it?"

"Of course." Jon breathed a sigh of relief and slipped it on her right ring finger. They kissed passionately as their dessert came.

"Actually can we get these to go? We just got called back to work."

"Sure of course." The waiter went to get boxes while Jon looked at her weird.

"What?" Brooklyn laughed and finished her wine.

"Joe and Colby said they were staying until the end of the show, gives us sometime to have fun on the bus before they get back." Jon smirked as the waiter came back and put the desserts away.

"I like they way you think darlin." Brooklyn returned the smirk. Jon payed and grabbed the desserts and her hand before they left.
