I'm sorry for not updating the story. I decided to update this story every Tuesday, but I was away from my house overnight, and with the hecticness of my family, between arguing and them running and I just couldn't find enough quiet time to update. Don't worry, I'm here now and ready to update. Thanks to the one and only person who updated. That's okay, cause I don't do this for reviews, I do this for my enjoyment. Not only that, even if you don't review, I know that fans out there are reading and your silence will help me continue.
The smell of freshly grounded coffee woke an already exhausted Dean as he sat down at the chestnut table at the small, quaint coffee shop. It had been six days since the Shield broke up. He couldn't remember what happened much on Monday, but he heard through the grapevine that Seth had cheated on Jeff with Jessica and Jessica on Roman with Seth. He didn't think that Roman would take it hard, he was strong. His only concern was with keeping the group closer, one member less. He had a plan that he hoped would work. He had already spoken to Roman a few days before about this plan, about how they were going to take down Evolution without Seth. Now all he needed to do was talk to Jeff.
Dean had tried for days to reach him, but he either couldn't or Jeff made up some excuse where he was busy with some big thing that he just had to do. Dean felt awful for him, he was there when Jeff had made up his mind about changing his sex preference, but it seemed that it was a mistake seeing how that went with Seth. Dean took a deep breath to try and calm himself down before he took a swig of his coffee, it wouldn't help him any to be angry when they had a plan to unfold.
A few hours went by and Dean saw no sign of Jeff, so he paid for his check and walked out. It was only then that his eyes shifted to the bar across from the coffee shop. Maybe he went in there, he thought, then shook his head. He didn't. He promised he wouldn't, and he's not one to break his promise to...Seth. That was the issue. He had promised Seth he wouldn't do that because he would be tempted to start the drinking again, but because Seth cheated on him, he had no reason to keep his promise. Well, he also promised...Jessica. She had been there when he promised Seth and she made him swear to her that he wouldn't go back on his promise.
Dean sighed and walked through the doors, the smell of beer hitting him. He was actually shocked that a bar could be open this early. He looked around for the bartender. He came across a woman who looked to be in her 20's, but her eyes showed her true age. Dean tore his eyes away from her, shaking his head. Always the flirt that one.
"I'm looking for a guy with dark hair and tats. Seen him?" Dean asked sitting down, his coffee never leaving his hands.
"Lots of guys 'ave been in 'ere wit those. But I willing to bet ya lookin' for te one in a black shirt, black tights, and who is currently sleeping wit his head on te bar." She pointed over to the end of the bar, where indeed, Jeff was lying with his head on the bar. "That him? He musta been heartbroken. I could tell. I didn't have te heart to tell te poor dear no, so this was his home for te last six days." She looked over at Dean before speaking again. "He belong to you?"
"Yes ma'am. You mind if I take him with me?" Dean asked shocked that he would break his promise to Seth and Jessica. He must've been desperate.
"Seein' that you walked in 'ere askin' for him, who am I to tell ya no?"
"Thanks," he said reaching for his wallet. "Here's my money for whatever he drank." The bartender laughed and shook her head. He cocked his head to the side, what was so funny about a drunk man drinking himself silly and not having any money to pay for it?
"Honey, you don't 'ave to worry about te money. It was on te house. Will I be seeing you two again?" She smiled sweetly walking over to the still sleeping Jeff.
"Nah, I don't think we'll be coming back in here soon. No really, we travel." Dean walked over to Jeff. "Don't worry about waking him, I'll just take him back to the hotel."
"Ahh, okay. Well, I hope he feels better, and if he does come back before ya leave, he can always sit here at this table." She chuckled.
Jeff stirred awake as he looked around. Wasn't he just at the bar. I hope no one found me there... He looked around and looked at a furious Dean Ambrose. Dang, I hope he understands.
"What were you thinking going behind my back and chug beer like there was no tomorrow!?" Dean pratically yelled. He sighed and took a deep breath, before continuing. "Look, I know things are tough for you right now and I know Seth is gone, but you have to understand that we have a tag team match tonight with Evolution, and if we don't win, then that makes us weak. Do you think we can work out your issues later?"
"Listen, you don't know what's going on in my life right now so can you please back off?" Jeff pratically sounded sad.
"I have no idea what's going on? You're the one who didn't listen to Ryah about Jessica and Seth when she told you before about them. Seth was in the wrong here, betraying us, cheating on you, all of it. You can't stop living your life to worry whether or not Seth loved you from the start or there's something wrong with you." Dean breathed again, something he had been doing a lot within the last hour. "Look, if you don't want in this match..."
"That's all you're worried about isn't it? This dang match with Evolution?"
"I don't mean to sound harsh, but yes, it is at this moment. I am concerned about you, really I am, but it doesn't change the fact that you cannot go on living like this. We do the match tonight, and we have fun later. That simple. Seth is not worth it."
Or is he? Is he too irresistible for other's taste? Will he still have feelings for him when this is all said and done? He hoped not, cause in all honesty, Jeff did not want to wait around for someone who didn't want him anymore.
