(In the last chapter Seth and Olivia got into an argument about how much money was spent. There was a bit of yelling involved and because of her past relationships she was afraid he was going to hit her. Later on Seth broke the news that they were headed to Miami for Raw. Miami happened to have been the place where she was trying to get away from an abusive relationship. She then broke down and told Seth everything.)
Not So Bad
Chapter Four
Olivia didn't care if she cried in front of him anymore. She had told Seth about how her ex boyfriend physically and emotionally abused her. She told him that he threatened to kill her and then broke down in tears. Seth wrapped his arms around her and comforted her.
"I'm so sorry Olivia... I had no idea. So your ex... he attacked you and threatened to kill you."
Olivia wiped the tears from her eyes and nodded.
"If he threatened to kill you, why didn't you leave him sooner?"
"I wanted to when I realized that he wasn't going to change. He would always get drunk and think that he owned me. He wasn't always violent, he only really turned violent when I told him that I was going to leave him. He always told me that he loved me and he kept on telling me that he was going to change and I was foolish enough to believe him. So after he attacked me with a knife I knew I had to get away from him even though I was scared. He almost made me do something that I didn't want to do. So I took off while he was at work. I took a little too long packing my stuff and he saw me when I was getting ready to leave. I ran for my car and barely got away. He said that if he ever saw me again that he'd kill me. Actually he yelled it at the top of his lungs. I thought for sure that he was following me so I got out of Miami as fast as I could."
"Did you live with him?"
"Yes, but only because I had nowhere else to go. My mom kicked me out when I turned eighteen, so for the last six years I've tried to work and pay rent for a house so when my ex told me he loved me, I moved in with him about a year ago because he told me that I didn't have to be alone anymore and that he would take care of me. So now that we're back in Miami, I'm just worried that he will find me."
"He won't... even if he does, I'm not going to let him come anywhere near you. If he even thinks about coming anywhere near you, he's going to have to answer to me."
"I don't know Seth... it just seems like I ran from one problem only to run into another. I was running away from him and then ran into that guy at the gas station. I'm more trouble than I'm worth."
"Don't say that. You've just been through a lot lately. When you were at the gas station, you were just at the wrong place at the wrong time, it could have happened to anyone. Things are going to be different now Olivia. Things are going to change for the better."
"You know Seth... I've got to be honest. When you told me that you were a wrestler, it kind of freaked me out."
"Why?"
"Because when I think of a wrestler, I think of a big, strong guy with anger issues. I was really scared when you yelled at me earlier. I was thinking maybe you would hit me or something, but you didn't even cuss at me."
"I wouldn't hit you Olivia, no matter how angry I got. I probably wouldn't even cuss at you. Plus I already told you that if I ever put my hands on a non WWE employee, I would probably lose my job. So you've got nothing to worry about."
"I know. I guess I overreacted, but I can't help but be a little worried. The fact that I've been in abusive relationships doesn't really help."
"I'm going to be here to protect you Olivia... I promise. Now lets not even think about that anymore. Lets have a good time. Since we're going to be at Raw, why don't I give you ring side seats.?"
"Really ringside seats?"
"Sure. You said you wasn't really sure what WWE was so I thought why not get you a ring side seat so you can see it up close and personal for the first time. Then once the show is over you can come back stage. I'll have security know it's ok and I'll come looking for you. You can let me know what you think once the show is over."
"Ok."
Olivia smiles at this. She didn't know what was in store, but she was sure she would have a good time.
Seth smiles at this. He was glad that he was able to comfort Olivia and think of something to get her mind off of her ex. Over all, he was just glad he got her to smile again. He looked at her in the dress again.
"You know what Olivia..."
"What?"
"You look really cute in that dress."
Olivia blushes, but smiles.
"Thanks."
Seth finally got back on the road and drove the rest of the way to the arena in Miami. Olivia was shocked at the size of the arena.
"Wow! This place is huge."
"Well of course. Thousands of people are in WWE crowds each week."
"Thousands?"
"Yeah, and millions of people around the world watch WWE. Didn't I tell you it was popular around the world?"
"You may have mentioned it, but there isn't really anyone here now."
"Not fan wise anyway. The show doesn't start until later on, but we have crews here that set up the ring, lights, music, and all sorts of things. Fans will be getting here soon. I'll go ahead and show you where you'll be sitting."
Olivia looked at all the seats in the arena. There were seats all around the arena, there were even seats behind the big screen. She saw a table sitting at ring side with three other chairs.
"Hey Seth... what are those seats for?"
"Oh that's the commentary announce table. That's where Jerry the King Lawler, Michael Cole, and JBL call the action. They say what's going on during a match. Not many people here can hear what they're saying. Basically going to a live WWE event is different from watching it on TV. You basically only hear them talking when they're on TV. Sometimes other WWE superstars join them to talk about an opponent, but usually that's when they're going to attack them at some point during or after the match."
Seth hangs around with Olivia until fans start arriving, then he tells her that he has to get ready for the show. About an hour later, Raw goes live on the air. Olivia could feel the excitement from the crowd and she found herself cheering along with the crowd just to try to fit in, even though she didn't know half of the people she was cheering for. She notices that at some point the camera crew show images of fans on the big screen. She saw herself on the big screen. Olivia got tired as the show went on, she could tell the crowd was getting tired too. She has looked at her watch and it was eight when the show started, now it was about ten forty five. Seth didn't really tell her how long the show was, but she started getting tired. Then Seth's music hit. The crowd came back alive, but people were booing him. She didn't understand why. She wasn't going to boo him. Then someone else's music hit and the crowd cheered. The guy was introduced as Dean Ambrose. She didn't know anything about what was going on. She didn't cheer or boo, at least not out loud. Throughout the match, in her head she was cheering for Seth. She didn't want to be the only one cheering for him while everyone else was booing him. Seth would occasionally look over in her direction and see her silently cheering for him. It was the main event. Throughout the match people were yelling things at both men, but mostly a You Sold Out chant directed to Seth. Even through all the crowd's noise, she heard a familiar voice calling her name.
"Olivia!"
"She froze. She knew that voice... it was him."
"Ryan?"
"You made a mistake by coming back. Now you're going to regret it."
He angrily makes his way over towards her. Many fans were only paying attention to the match and not what was going on around them.
"No! Stay away from me."
She goes to try to run away, but had no idea where she was going. Ryan easily caught up with her. He had been in a WWE crowd before and knew how to get around. It was at a point of the match where both men were fighting for control of the match. Ryan caught Olivia and grabbed her by her wrists and started dragging her away. Seth looked over to the spot where Olivia was supposed to be, but instead saw her being dragged off by some guy in the crowd. She was trying to fight him, but the guy was stronger than him. Seth knew he would regret this later, but he had to break character and leave the match. Luckily for him, Bray Wyatt was currently the one in the feud with Dean Ambrose so Seth ran out of the ring like he was just trying to run from Dean Ambrose and he makes his way through the crowd. Dean Ambrose was chasing after him at first, but Bray Wyatt caught up with him and attacked him. The attack was actually planed towards the end, but once Seth ran out WWE had to keep the show going. The camera and the crowd was now focused on Bray Wyatt and Dean Ambrose. What he didn't know was one camera man decided to follow Seth Rollins through the crowd. Seth spotted Olivia and the guy that was trying to drag her away. There were plenty of people screaming in the crowd, but Seth could tell that she was screaming for help. Seth ran and caught up with them. The camera man wasn't far behind. Without Seth knowing, it what was being filmed and was now being shown on the big screen and in front of the whole world.
"Hey you! Is there a problem?"
"Seth Rollins? Shouldn't you be minding your own business and running from Dean Ambrose?"
Ryan let go of Olivia's hand and she runs behind Seth.
"You made it my business when I saw you dragging her off. She obviously didn't want to go with you so I think we have a problem here."
"There isn't a problem. I was just going to take my girlfriend home where she belongs. We have some catching up to do."
He winks at her, she knew what he really meant and this only made her more nervous.
"Come on Olivia."
Olivia only shakes her head no and backs up even more.
"I asked you once... don't make me ask you again. Come on Olivia. Lets go home."
His voice was even more threatening, but that wasn't what scared her. What scared her was the fact that he made it inside the building and he had a pocket knife and she could see it sticking out of his pocket. The longer he waited, the angrier he got. He was going to walk right by Seth and force her to go with him. He made his way to her, but before he could lay a hand on her, Seth grabbed him and threw him into the nearest merchandise table. He could hear a reaction behind him. He looked back and he saw himself and Olivia on the big screen. This was the closing moments of Raw and the camera man stopped filming. The crowd was yelling random things at him. Some of it was positive while the rest of it was negative. He realized that he broke character, but the WWE Universe didn't know that. This was not supposed to happen. Raw went off the air and the crowd was starting to leave. Seth grabbed Olivia's hand.
"Quick follow me."
Olivia ran with him until they got to the backstage area. Seth had to tell security that it was ok for Olivia to be backstage. As soon as they got backstage Seth was confronted by Stephanie McMahon and Triple H, The Authority. Olivia stood quietly and awkwardly behind him. Stephanie was the first one to speak.
"Seth! What happened out there? You broke character and ran off before you were supposed to. You weren't supposed to run out to the crowd."
"Look... Stephanie, Triple H, I'm sorry, but I had to break character."
"Why?"
Olivia steps out from behind him.
"It was my fault."
Stephanie gets an annoyed look on her face.
"Why is this? What is she doing back here?"
Seth puts a hand on her shoulder.
"This is Olivia. Stephanie... this is the girl I told you about."
Olivia felt hurt.
"Wait... you told her about me?"
"Only the part about what happened at the gas station."
Stephanie seemed to know now what he was talking about, but she still wanted to know what was going on. Olivia felt tears starting to form in her eyes.
"Seth... this isn't the kind of thing you tell people. I can't believe you."
Olivia was so hurt and embarrassed. She felt like a victim ans she didn't like people she hardly knew talking about her personal life. The tears started to fall from her eyes and she started walking in a different direction. Seth could tell that she was hurt, but when he tried to apologize and go after her she wouldn't listen to him.
"Olivia wait... I'm sorry."
"Forget it. You said to give you one chance and if you blew it that you would leave me alone. Leave me alone. I don't want to travel with you anymore."
"Olivia please just..."
Olivia broke down into tears and ran away from him.
"I said leave me alone."
Seth wanted to run after her, but he didn't want to upset her anymore. Stephanie and Triple H stood there with confused yet concerned looks on their faces. Triple H was the one to speak.
"You know what... we'll figure this out later. Right now Seth... why don't you just follow her and see if you can calm her down."
Seth nodded a thank you in his direction and ran after her. He was worried about his job, but he was mainly worried about Olivia. He was worried that guy would find her before he did. He was worried that she might not give him another chance. He had to find Olivia and apologize and explain things to her. It hurt him seeing her hurt. He was worried that he might not ever find her, but as he was walking by a WWE door he heard crying and knew it was Olivia. He slowly opened the door. She was sitting in a chair with her back turned to the door. She didn't think to lock the door. She heard the door open and she turned around to see who it was. She saw it was Seth and turned her back to him as she continued to cry. As she was crying she did manage to say one thing.
"What part... of leave me alone did you not understand?"
Seth felt hurt. He would do anything to take away her pain. Only this time he was the cause of her pain. All he wanted was to see her smile again. He stood in the doorway and spoke softly.
"Olivia please... just hear me out."
(To be continued. It seems like things just aren't going well for Olivia and Seth. What are they going to do now? Thoughts? Send me a review.)
