Roman and I got in the truck and we headed home. I had been driving in silence for about 20 minutes when I finally said "Roman you know this isn't over with Jessie, she's going to have something to say about this."
"Yeah, I know. I haven't gotten serious with someone because of her." He said as he settled back into the seat.
"You know Roman we haven't been a thing for long we can end it now." I half whispered.
"No, that's not going to happen. I like you, Jojo likes you, and I want something for me. I want someone to share my life with."
"Roman, I don't know what to say!"
"Angel, there's something else I've been fighting hard not to tell you, but I feel like I have to. Right now. In this moment. I am in love with you Angel! I would love nothing more than for us to be a family." Roman gushed from the passenger's seat.
"Holy shit Roman! That's something to lie on a girl while she's driving. But even so, you know it won't be just you and me Roman. You know that I will always need Seth and Dean." I replied my voice soft with fear as I shot glances his way.
"Yes, Angel I do know that. That's what I meant by all of us being a family. I want us to all share a home, a life both on the road and off. I want to roll over and know that somewhere in that bed is you and you're mine." He said as he put his hand on my thigh.
"That's… Well fuck… That's huge Roman." I croaked.
"I know it is Angel. I'll let you think about it and wrap your mind around it. But know I'm right here and I'm not going anywhere." He replied and settled back to sleep. I pulled over and called my pilot and told him where to pick us up and drop us off. I also called Tampa headquarters and sent a couple of other agents over to lock up Romans house. I woke Roman up and told him what I was doing and he called his cousin to get him to pick up his truck at the airport. It was around 5 a.m. when we got to the airport. We boarded, stowed our stuff and went back to the living area of the plane. I sat down on the couch and pulled out my phone. I dialed Dean and waited for him to answer. My breath caught and my heart rate picked up when I heard the gravelly voice say hello.
"Dean, baby I'm sorry to call so early but something has happened."
"Oh god! What?" he said as I heard his bedsheets rustle.
"Britney tried to kidnap Jojo, we stopped her, and she got arrested, and then released." I spelled out.
"Oh holy shit. Is everybody ok?"
"Yeah Jessie and Jojo are in a safe house and Roman and I are headed to the next venue. Be careful Dean. I don't know where she is or what she's doing! Keep Athena with you and come to the venue as soon as possible. I can't stand you being so far away. And could you please call Seth and tell him everything and get him to come too? I would, but I'm fucking exhausted." I breathed.
"Of course baby girl! Don't you worry, we'll be there as soon as we can." He reassured.
"Thank you Dean!" I sighed and hung up the phone. I got up and headed back to the bedroom. Roman sat down and reached for the remote control. I kicked my shoes off and took my pants off and lay down on the bed. I felt Roman's eyes on me and I raised my hand to him in invitation without even opening my eyes.
"Please, stay with me Roman!" I whispered. Without a word he walked in the room, kicked off his shoes and took off his shirt. The bed shifted under his weight and I felt his warm strong arm around me. I drifted off to sleep. I woke right before the plane landed. I woke Roman and we got redressed. We rented a car and headed to the motel. I made sure that we had adjoining rooms. That way it looked like separate rooms but we could travel between the two without being seen. I called and had extra security added to the arena for each show. I slept lightly and made sure to check on Dean and Seth often throughout the night. I also made sure the boys all had bullet proof vests on every time we left a motel or an arena. And every time we left I forgot to put one on. We woke on Monday and I felt it. I felt every hair on my body standing on end and I had knots in my stomach. I had my hand resting on the butt of my gun as we went to the rentals and headed to the arena. Seth pulled his rental right next to ours and we all got our suitcases out of the back. Roman and I were out front and Seth and Dean were behind us. I saw something glint before I heard the first shot. Roman went down hard. I pulled my gun, leaned down and checked on Roman. His vest had done its duty. I stood, my gun in both hands, searching.
"Everybody get down! There is a shooter!" I shouted as I found what I was looking for. Britney had come out from behind Randy's bus and was walking toward us. I pointed my gun right at her.
"Britney put the gun down and no one has to die here today." I shouted. She didn't say anything just came at me. She shot me in the left shoulder and I responded with a shot of my own, hitting her in the same shoulder. Roman, Seth and Dean were crouched behind a car.
"Britney put the gun down and we'll get you the help you need." I shouted.
"What help? I don't need help!" she sneered and fainted to the right looking for a target. Unfortunately Dean stood up and gave her one.
"Britney put the gun down. We can go just you and me." Dean tried to persuade her into dropping the gun. It didn't work however as she took a shot at Dean and I took another shot at her, hitting her in the other shoulder. Her shot hit him square in the chest. He didn't hesitate; he continued to walk toward her.
"I was the good one remember Britney?" he purred. She looked confused for a minute and almost dropped her gun until she saw Roman motioning for Summer Rae and Rosa to get down as they had just arrived and didn't know what was going on. She took another shot and it ricocheted off a nearby car.
"Britney this is the last time I say this put the gun down and I'll make sure you get out of here alive." I said as I stared her down.
"That's not going to happen." She said as she took another shot at Roman. This time Dean came right up behind me as if to shove me to safety, she saw this and it pissed her off. She lifted her gun a little higher aiming it right between Dean's eyes. I shoved Dean and knocked him off balance so she couldn't hit him. Dean stood again and without thinking I stepped in front of him and got hit twice in the chest. I looked down and saw the blood stain start to bloom. I saw her aiming for Dean's head again; I stood, squared my shoulders and pulled the trigger. I saw the bullet hole open right between her eyes before everything went black. Somewhere in the darkness I heard all 3 of them scream my name.
Deans POV
The three of us stood and watched as the back of Britney's head blew out and she fell to the ground. Angel fell back into my arms and I saw the blood.
"Roman, Seth she got hit in the chest. Someone get something to press against the wounds and call 911!" I shouted. Seth had opened his suitcase and pulled out some of his shirts and thrust them at me. Angel's violet eyes opened and she smiled at me weakly.
"Rome, Seth come here. Angel looks like she wants to say something." I shouted. Angel somehow had brought her hand to her chest as she fell and her hand was covered in blood as she reached up and palmed my cheek.
"It is what it is my boys!" Angel whispered and then she shuttered. Roman and I pressed the shirts tighter to her chest. Angel's eyes closed again as we heard the ambulance screech into the parking lot. The paramedics dropped down beside me and shoved our hands off Angel's chest.
"Your fast thinking may have saved her life." One paramedic said. Just then everyone heard Wade's tortured scream as he saw who it was that was on the ground.
"Angel! God no! Not my Angel!" he bellowed as he ran across the parking lot. Seth handed me a couple more t-shirts and I wiped my hands off on them. I held Wade up as he looked down and saw all the blood. Just then I saw that Dolph had been recording the entire thing. I yelled at him to get his attention.
"Dolph go in and tell Triple H what has happened and where we're going." I ordered.
"Of course Dean! No problem." Dolph replied and trotted toward the arena door.
"Wade! Wade! Look at me! You have to get yourself together! Angel wouldn't want you like this. You'll go to the hospital with me and Roman. "I said as I locked gazes with Wade. "What hospital are you guys going to?" I asked the paramedic.
"We're going to St. Vincent's." He replied. Seth had dug around in his suitcase and grabbed a manila folder and headed toward the ambulance.
"I'm going to ride with her to the hospital." Seth said to the paramedics. They had just finished securing Angel to the gurney and was wheeling her to the ambulance. "Roman make sure Alex knows what's going on! Tell Mikail and James too." Seth yelled before they closed the doors and the ambulance took off.
Meanwhile inside the arena
Dolph ran down the hall looking for Triple H. He found him after ten minutes of looking. He ran toward him and Mark from creative. They looked as if they were having a serious conversation.
"H. H!" Dolph panted as he came to a halt beside Triple H.
"I'm busy right now Dolph." He snarled.
"Not for this! Angels been shot! And it doesn't look good." Dolph replied as he rested his hands on his bent knees trying to catch his breath.
"Holy shit! Are you serious?" Triple H asked.
"As a heart attack." Dolph replied. Triple H pulled out his phone and dialed Stephanie. "Steph are you still in the conference call with your dad?" he gushed.
"Yeah, why?" she questioned.
"Angel's been shot! What should we do?"
"Holy shit!" he heard both Stephanie and Vince say. Then Vince said "Cancel the show! We'll roll something from here in Connecticut. All of you get to the hospital. Make sure she lives and that the boys are ok."
"All right. Steph meet me at the limo." Triple H said and ended the call. "Get all the runners to gather as many of the roster as they can and get them to catering." Triple H said to Dolph. Steph and Triple H walked into catering 15 minutes later.
"Everybody quiet down!" Triple H yelled above the noise. "We're cancelling the show. Angel has been shot and we don't know what Dean and Roman's status is. We're headed to the hospital now. Feel free to follow." Triple H shouted.
"I got a text from Dean. She's at St. Vincent's hospital." Dolph yelled as everyone started to clear out.
