" Look. I'm doing everything that needs to be done. And whether you like it or not, I'm getting a piece of that goat faced little bitch." Dean snarled as he looked at the person giving Shield their orders and crossed his arms expectantly.

"This agenda had better not interfere with the one you were brought here to carry out. Remember that, Ambrose." the man replied as he crossed his arms and looked at the leader of Shield expectantly. Dean leaned in and smirking said " You don't intimidate me. And I'll do what I want, when I want to do it."

He turned and walked out of the office, and happened to be passing the gym. The door being cracked, he saw Vivienne in the gym, headphones in, working out. He smirked to himself, stepped in. Better to tell her now than after the fact that now, thanks to her, her little goat faced lover was going to die, or wish he was dead.

Vivienne had turned to grab her towel from the bench when she saw him standing there and she jumped back a few feet, her eyes widening as he stepped closer, grabbed her throat. " Do you remember last time you pissed me off? Do you remember how bad I made that little bitch bleed just for talking to you?"

She went to speak and he held a finger to her lips calmly as he said " This time, he's dead. It's going to take a fucking armed militia to tear me off of him."

Her mind went back to the fight he was referring to and she bit her lip, wincing at the memory as her heart raced and her throat lumped up, making it harder for her to breathe...

" He's going to wind up killing you, Vivienne." her friend Damien stated plainly as he cleaned out a cut in her forehead that she'd gotten in yet another brutal fight with Dean Ambrose earlier that night. Vivienne looked down at her hands and then said quietly, " If I leave him then I'll just be someone else who walked away from him, Damien. I do love him, I really do. I just have to hope that somewhere in there, he's not this monster."

Damien nor Vivienne realized this, but Dean had seen the entire thing from the doorway where he stood hidden. Including a kiss that Damien gave to his girlfriend. His anger flared and he knew he had to do something. He was not just going to stand by and let that son of a bitch touch or kiss his girlfriend. Before he could stop himself, he'd burst in the door and grabbed Vivienne up by her throat, then dragged her out, and down a hallway. Once they were in their shared backstage area, he started beating her again making sure he caused her as much pain as humanly possible, making sure she got that her kissing back or not didn't 'd still let another man touch her, another man kiss her.

And then, about fifteen minutes later, when Sandow went out to his match against Seth Rollins, Ambrose came down and attacked him violently.

After the show, she'd tried to find Damien just to check on him, because since she'd started in FCW, he'd been like an older brothe to her of sorts, but she couldn't find him anywhere. And after that, since she wouldn't leave Dean that night, he'd just basically avoided her, and eventually, he'd told her she was a coward, she was weak and stupid, and he couldn't be friends with someone like that anymore.

"I still hate you for that." Vivienne mumbled softly as his hand went to her cheek and rested there, menacingly. She flinched back, biting her lip as she glared angrily at him and then said quietly, " Don't touch him, Dean or I swear to God, I'll..."

Her words were cut off by his laugh as he leaned in and said with a smirk, "You won't do anything, Viv." as he leaned in and forced her to kiss him, blinking at the slap when her hand made contact with his face, but slapping her back twice as hard.

Vivienne stumbled back and tripped over a yoga mat she'd been using a few minutes ago, and she fell down, landing on her butt. She scooted back across the floor and Dean kept walking towards her, evil gleam in his eye. The door burst wide open suddenly, and he stopped walking, winked at her, then turned on his heel and walked out past AJ who stood looking at her with her brow raised.

" How did you even date that walking sack of crazy?" AJ asked as she walked towards the brunette who'd stood and was now trying to compose herself, powdering her face so that no sign of a bruise showed later.

The words Dean said just now kept repeating in her head. And she wasn't an idiot. She knew that Bryan and AJ had history so she walked to the doorway quickly and shut the door firmly behind her.

" Go find Daniel and tell him that Dean's got something planned for their match tonight. I don't know why, because Bryan hates me, but Dean has gotten it into his head that Bryan and I are together, and, well, you get the rest. Why in the hell did I ask for him to be my valet? Oh wait, I know why, I let my freaking horomones where he was concerned make the decision for me." Vivienne said as AJ raised a brow, studied the other female carefully and then said " Wait a minute.. You actually like Daniel? Gross."

"AJ, you have a better chance telling him than I do, because he didn't even want a valet in the first place and wisely, he trusts me just about as far as he can throw me right now. Please?" Vivienne asked as she looked at AJ who nodded and said quietly, " I'll try, but I don't think that's going to go over very well."

Frantic for some kind of plan, Vivienne stood and said " Oh nevermind. I'll do something about it myself." before jogging out of the gym and down the hallway to find somewhere to sit and quietly plan how she was going to do what she'd probably wind up doing.

The more AJ sat and thought about Vivienne's outburst, the confrontation she'd walked in on just now between Vivienne and her ex, Dean Ambrose, the worse the bad feeling got. But she said nothing. The girl wasn't a friend, and she wasn't an enemy, and AJ didn't want to do anything that might make Vivienne either.

But she did know that Kaitlyn was Vivienne's oldest friend, so she ran off to tell Kaitlyn what she'd just walked in on, what Vivienne admitted, and what she was sort of afraid that Vivienne was about to do.

Kaitlyn raised a brow at AJ's sudden appearance beside her, but when AJ started talking at her frantically, her voice almost a feverishly scared/excited scream, Kaitlyn put her hands on her former friend's arms and said " Slow down, don't shout and start over. Now what did you see Dean doing?"

Her anger grew as well as the knot in her stomach when AJ told Kaitlyn exactly what she thought Vivienne was about to do. "God damn it." Kaitlyn swore as she stood and then said "You stay away from Bryan. I'll go talk to him. He's more likely to believe me over you. I mean you did walk out on him at the altar."

AJ nodded and sat back, biting her thumbnail, nervously. Had she done the right thing by telling what she'd just told Kaitlyn?

Kaitlyn told Bryan first, and then she set off to find Vivienne, because she knew her best friend too well by now, and she knew that if Vivienne had a plan than either she was going to go back to Dean just to keep him from hurting Daniel Bryan, or she was going to do something stupid that might just get her put in the hospital like the night he broke into Vivienne's apartment after they'd broken up, waited on her and then beat her worse than he'd ever beaten her before.

Daniel stood looking at Kaitlyn and said "Wait... So she saw what again?"

" Listen moron. I have to find Viv, I have to stop her from doing what I'm scared she's going to do, I don't have time to explain something two or three times to you.. She walked in on Dean threatening Vivienne. But also threatening you. And then when she wouldn't go back to him, he hit her twice, tried to choke her. And tonight, he's going to do something during your match. Unless she does what I hope she's not about to do and agrees to go back to him." Kaitlyn said as Bryan blinked and looked at her.

" She's not. Go find her, keep her from him as best as you can. I'm thinking, but maybe I'll come up with something. Did she really say that to AJ.. About me, I mean." Daniel asked, feeling incredibly guilty and also incredibly stupid now, because so much about her made more sense now, even though it still didn't. The way she was always flirting with him, trying to tempt him.

"Yes, I have no idea why she'd feel that way, given you've done nothing but make her feel like shit about it, but yes, Daniel, she did." Kaitlyn replied as she looked at his facial expression.

She wasn't baiting him, she was trying to get him to notice smirked to himself as he realized that all along, that'd been what she was doing. She was trying to tell him she was interested in him without having to tell him. Kaitlyn went to find Vivienne and he sat there trying to figure out what he felt and why he cared so much whether Dean Ambrose got his hands on Vivienne or not.

Sure, he hated the guy, because they had a past, but he still didn't trust Vivienne either. She made him feel something, but he didn't know what exactly. Growling, he stood and pulled on a t shirt, then walked out to find Kane, because Kaitlyn hadn't been able to tell him whether it'd be his rematch against Big Show, solo or their tag match against Damien Sandow and whoever filled in for Cody Rhodes tonight.

And the entire time he did this, he cursed and swore at Dean Ambrose under his breath, at the situation that his valet got herself into and was now trying to quietly handle, on her own, when she was clearly in over her head, and just basically because he himself had no clear answer as to what he actually felt about her.
