Who Do I Trust?
Chapter Seven
Everyone has been talking about depression happened on Raw. Dean Ambrose and Abigail were the talk of the locker room and the WWE Universe. There was also talk about The Wyatt Family, but most people were talking about what happened between Dean Ambrose and Abigail. When Bray Wyatt was having a match wit Roman Reigns, she sent out Luke Harper and Erick Rowan to distract Roman Reigns so Bray could get the upper hand. While The match ended in disqualification, Dean Ambrose had found the place where The Wyatt Family did their promos. Abigail was alone backstage when he started talking to of what he had to say made since, but the other part of her didn't want to believe him. Everyone saw that Bray slapped her and Dean Ambrose wasn't happy about it. He got her thinking about if it was a good idea to join The Wyatt Family. Before she could make up her mind The Wyatt Family attacked him. Later that night Abigail had a match against AJ for the Diva's championship belt. The Wyatt Family were out there with her because she had a feeling that something was going to happen. She was right, the match never really ended with a win or a loss, but the match was interrupted when the lights went out. The Wyatt Family joined her in the ring because even they didn't know what was going on. When the lights came back on Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns were in the ring and started to attack The Wyatt Family. Dean Ambrose had a steel chair to even the odds. Roman took out Luke Harper and Erick Rowan and his work was done. Dean Ambrose had his sights set on Bray Wyatt. Abigail didn't know what to do. She was frozen with fear,and backed up into the corner of the turnbuckle. Dean Ambrose hit him with the chair several times and then pushed him out onto the floor. Then it was just him and Abigail in the ring. She was so scared that she didn't know what to do. Dean Ambrose was just having a little fun with her and acted like he was going to hit her with the chair. She screamed and blocked her face while ducking down in the corner. He threw the chair out of the ring and made his way to her. He saw how scared she was and kind of felt sorry for her. She started crying and begged for him not to hurt her. He raised his hand and she closed her eyes thinking that he was going to hit her. She was surprised when he didn't hit her, but instead gently put his hand on her cheeks to wipe away the few tears that had escaped her eyes. He told her that he wasn't going to hurt her. He placed his hand under her chin and gently tilted her head up so she could look at him in the eyes. She calmed down as she realized that he was telling the truth. He wasn't going to hurt her. What he did next surprised everyone. As he tilted her head up, he leaned down and kissed her. She was shocked, but finally kissed him back. This was live on TV in front of a sold out crowd. They cheered in approval and even started doing Yes chants. When The Wyatt Family finally came to their senses they saw what was going on. At the moment they didn't know what to do but Bray wasn't happy about it. Dean and Abigail left the ring together hand in hand.
No one really saw or heard from Abigail since Raw . It was a very confusing night for her and she needed time to think about what happened. Dean Ambrose was just as confused as she was. He had been thinking about the kiss all week. What he wanted was for her to trust him and leave The Wyatt Family. He kept wondering if it was just the heat of the moment that made him kiss her or if it was something else. Abigail has not seen or heard from The Wyatt Family or Dean Ambrose since Raw. She was wondering what she was going to do. Before Dean Ambrose kissed her she had been alone and Bray welcomed her into the family. Then again something Dean Ambrose said started to make sense. Why would someone that supposedly loved her hit her? Bray had told her that it was for her own good. He only did it to protect her. He had to slap some sense into her. He didn't want her to believe everything that she saw and heard. He didn't want her to believe Dean Ambrose. He tries to convince her into believing that he was lying to her. She decided to go out to the ring on her own. She didn't really want to go back to The Wyatt Family, but at the same time she didn't want to go to Dean Ambrose. She still wasn't sure about who she should trust. She didn't want to be lied to by anyone. She was thinking that maybe she was better off on her own. Bray Wyatt and The Wyatt Family came out for a match. The Authority had put Roman Reigns in a three on one handicap match. Dean Ambrose ended up coming out and cost them the match. He didn't get physically involved but his presence was enough of a distraction. Dean Ambrose still wasn't done with Bray Wyatt. He wanted to make sure that Bray never came near Abigail again. Later on Abigail had a rematch against AJ since no one really won or lost on Monday. It was a back and forth match between them. It came down to AJ putting Abigail in her Black Widow submission hold. Abigail somehow reversed it and put AJ in a submission hold of her own. Just when it seemed like AJ was going to tap out, the lights went out again, but this time when they came back on AJ had left the ring. The lights didn't completely go off but it got a lot darker. There was a spotlight on Abigail in the ring and Bray Wyatt was on the big screen for his promo. He laughs getting everyone's attention. Abigail had a bad feeling about what was about to happen.
"What's the matter Abigail? You look like you've seen a ghost. You look terrified. You should be terrified. I want you wondering when... When will I be coming for you? I'm coming back for you Abigail. I believe you're confused and that you need me now more than ever. You need me to answer those burning questions. Why doesn't anyone love you, or why do bad things keep happening to you? You try to act tougher than the rest, you try to act like nothing is wrong, but I know you Abigail. I know you better than you know yourself. You smile to everyone out here like nothing is wrong, but those few weeks ago in the parking lot, you didn't know you were being watched. Everyone saw you breakdown. Once you thought the cameras were gone you broke down in tears. You aren't like normal people, and yet I know plenty of people like you Abigail. You try to live a happy life, but every day, every moment for you is a battle, not just against your opponent, but against yourself. You are your own worst enemy. Your battle with depression sometimes clouds your judgment. That night when Dean Ambrose wanted nothing to do with you, you were going to go as far as to take your own life . He saw you crying and he felt sorry for you. I hope you enjoyed your little moment with him, but I hope you realize that he still doesn't love you. He only did what he did because he felt sorry for you. You need help Abigail. You are not well. The one thing I hate is watching people suffer. The way I see it, you can either come home on your own, or we can bring you home. You need to come back home Abigail, but of course since you ran away in the first place you'll have to be punished. If I didn't love you, I wouldn't punish you when you need it. I only do what's best for you. We love you Sister Abigail. Come Home."
The lights come back on and Abigail is left in the ring. She was scared and she had tears falling from her face. Bray Wyatt had just told everyone her secret. She didn't want anyone to know, but now the whole world knew that shewas struggling with depression. She needed to get away from the crowd and the cameras. She didn't want to believe him, but he could have been telling the truth. What if Dean Ambrose only kissed her that night because he felt sorry for her? As she was going to leave the ring, the lights go off again, and a few seconds later they come back on. The Wyatt Family surrounded her on the outside of the ring. Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns came down to the ring and were ready to fight, but Randy Orton came out and attacked Roman Reigns. Roman was more involved with The Authority feud. Now it was Dean Ambrose on his own taking on The Wyatt Family. Abigail had nowhere to run. She was cornered again. She was forced to watch as The Wyatt Family beat down Dean Ambrose. The words Bray said were coming back to her. They were coming back for her. He wanted her to be in the family whether she wanted to or not. She had a bad feeling about what was going to happen. Bray hit Dean Ambrose with Sister Abigail and Dean Ambrose didn't move after that. It almost felt like Deja Vu only this time Dean Ambrose was the one laid out. Then they turned their attention to Abigail in the corner. The crowd booed as they had a feeling like they knew what was going to happen. Luke Harper and Erick Rowan grab her arms and legs so she couldn't fight back . She screams at them to let her go, but Bray grabs her from them and hit her with his move Sister Abigail. She was unconscious as Bray sat down and pulled her into his arms. He starts singing He's got the whole world in his hands as he rubs her hair. The crowd boo loudly instead of singing and moving their lights like they usually would. Once Bray was done singing The Wyatt Family take her out of the ring and carry her back up the entrance. Dean Ambrose started to wake up and saw them carrying her off . He wasn't happy about this and got up to follow them out. When he got behind the curtain away from the crowd he felt at his head, but kept going in a blind rage to find The Wyatt Family. He ended up finding Bray, Luke and Erick, but Abigail was nowhere to be found.
"Where is she Wyatt?!"
Bray chuckles at him, but does not give him the response he wanted.
"You just don't know when to quit do you Ambrose."
"Stop playing games Wyatt! Where is she?"
Bray chuckles at him again.
"You'll never find her. I won't let you fill her head with lies. You're never coming near her again."
Dean Ambrose was about to attack them when the lights backstage went out and The Wyatts disappeared again. Laughter was all that was heard as the lights came back on. Dean Ambrose was confused and frustrated., he was tired of The Wyatt's tricks. He saw Abigail out there when Bray was talking. to her. He wished he could have been out there sooner, but at the time he was in the locker room. He got out there before they attacked her but Roman had his own problems with The Authority so he ended up fighting The Wyatt Family by himself. He was out numbered and put down. At the end of the day, Bray still attacked Abigail. He wasn't just upset with The Wyatts, he was upset with himself because he couldn't protect her like he thought he could. He was frustrated and kicked over a trash can. He stormed out of the building thinking that maybe he could find them outside. Smackdown goes off the air showing Dean Ambrose throwing things outside.
When Abigail finally woke up, she had a headache, she found herself in a dark room. Bray noticed that she woke up.
"It's good to see that you're awake."
"Bray? What's going on?"
"You're home now Abigail. You don't have to worry about sleeping in your car anymore."
"How did you know about that? How did you know that I'm fighting depression?"
"I saw you sleep in your car one night. We were still at an arena. You must have been getting a few hours of sleep before the show. So that left me wondering... Are you homeless?"
Abigail was shocked. It was as if he knew more about her just like he said.
"Yeah. I'm homeless. I moved out of my mom's house when I started working for WWE. I didn't know what to do or who to turn to. So I've been living in my car for the past few months. But like I how did you know that I'm fighting depression? "
"Sometimes people just know. How could you not be fighting depression? You don't live anywhere, you're mom told you that she never wanted you, and you don't trust people because of your dad. Which leaves me to wonder. Why would you try to leave us like that Abigail? I promised to protect you and to give you a home, so why would you take off with Dean Ambrose?"
"I don't know. There was just something that he told me that got me thinking. He said... if you love me like you say you do, why would you hit me. The WWE Universe saw you hit me twice now. You hit me with your finishing move and dragged me away against my will."
"Sometimes you have to take extreme measures to protect the ones you love. Dean Ambrose will tell you anything. I'm begging you. Please don't listen to anything he says. On Raw he caught you off guard and kissed you. If he really loved you then why didn't you see him after Raw?"
"I don't know... I think we were all a little confused about the situation. I didn't want to come back because I didn't know what you would do. "
"I wouldn't have done anything. He was the one that took advantage of you. You should have talked to me instead of avoiding me. Dean Ambrose thinks that he understands you. He could never understand you like I do. I promise I'll protect you, and I promise I won't make you do anything against your will unless I really think you're making a mistake. Sometimes when people suffer from depression, they don't always think clearly. An example of that would be the night we met. You were going to lay down in the parking lot. You would have took your own life if I had not been there. So I think you need someone to look after you. Dean Ambrose caused your breakdown that night. Do you honestly think that one little kiss would make him care for you?"
"No . You're right Bray. I'm sorry I left, and I'm sorry I ever doubted you."
She opens her arms wanting a hug, but wasn't sure if he wanted to hug her. Bray saw this and gladly accepted the hug.
"It's ok Abigail. We all make mistakes. I still love you Abigail. Remember that."
"I love you too Bray."
She hugs him but still had certain doubts in her mind about Bray and Dean. She still wondered what Dean Ambrose's true feelings were. Did he just kiss her because he felt sorry for her?
(To be continued. So Abigail comes back to The Wyatt Family, at first against her will but is Bray just telling her what she wants to hear? Are The Wyatts really as bad as everyone thinks? Is The Wyatt Family the only people she should trust? Will Dean Ambrose ever get a chance to talk to her without being influenced by The Wyatt Family.)
