I think a lot of you might hate me after this so I'm sorry... Review please! :)

It was a few weeks later and Dean was on crutches now able to move around on his own. We had called Triple H and Stephanie to let them know what was going on and to request more time off. They were pretty pissed about it. None of us really cared though since at this point we were leaving. After thinking long and hard about it I decided walking away from WWE was what was best for me. It sucked but I lived my dream, had an amazing career and did this for more than half of my life. Roman and I talked about it and thought we would do some indy appearances some times so we can still wrestle. His dad also offered to let us help him train aspiring wrestlers which we jumped at. Seth however would be leaving in a few days to return to WWE as a solo competitor. Dean and Roman apologized non stop to him for what they have done to his career but he constantly told them to not worry that he understood. I convinced him to move to Florida and he would be living in the same neighborhood as Roman so when he went home on his days off he was coming home to friends- family. Roman and I also talked and tomorrow I would be flying out to Vegas with Seth and packing up my apartment and officially moving in with Roman. Roman, Seth and Jessica were out at the beach while Dean and me were at home. I walked outside to the patio where he was sitting and sat down next to him.

"How you doing?" I asked looking out at the yard.

"I'm alright just thinking."

"About what?"

"My life. Ya know all I ever wanted to do was wrestle. I started when I was 16.. I've been doing this almost 13 years and I wanted to do it at least another 13 and now it's been taken from me." over the past few weeks Dean realized the doctors were right and he would be unable to return to wrestling.

"I'm sorry Dean but you proved people wrong before, you beat the odds before and you can do it again. It's improbable not impossible for you to wrestle again."

"By the time I heal and can get ring rust off, the newest guy would have taken my place and it will be over with."

"Don't give up before you try Dean. You know what you could do?"

"What?"

"Help Roman and I train people."

"I can't wrestle Rox what part of that don't you get?!" he asked irritated.

"But you have the psychology still. The mic skills. You are the total package and you can help us train them with that part of it then when you heal you can help train them and that will help get used to being in the ring and see if you can handle it. I'm sure Regal, Seth, and all the other people who back you would fight for you to be able to return if you could. Hell Hunter probably wouldn't need convincing. They know how good you are and how much you would help the company. We just need to get you better and prove the doctors wrong."

"That all sounds like a nice...dream." he said putting emphasis on dream.

"You made your last dream become a reality." I pointed out.

"You have too much faith in me." he said shrugging drinking out of a water bottle.

"I do. I know you and I know you can do it."

"I'm going to try but I don't want to get my hopes up ya know?"

"I know Dean. I believe in you though."

"Thanks" he said smiling sweetly at me.

"There's something I wanted to ask you.." I said clasping my hands together.

"Alright what is it?"

"Well you know tomorrow me and Seth are flying out to pack my stuff and I was wondering if you would move down here too."

"Why?"

"I don't want to live that far away from you. Selfish I know but I'm so used to being around you every day that you not living 30 mins away would be weird and you love Florida."

"I don't know Rox."

"Think about it. Seth and I could pack your stuff tomorrow too."

"I don't want to be the permanent 3rd wheel."

"You won't be though. You don't live with us and Seth is moving down here too."

"He is?"

"Yeah he just had his family pack up his stuff and they're shipping it out here."

"I guess I did miss living in Florida." he said. I looked at him hopeful sitting up straight. "Alright pack up my stuff I'll move down here."

I jumped up and ran over to him hugging him.

"You're really happy about that." He laughed.

"Of course!" I said smiling.

Seth, Roman and Jessica opened the sliding glass door and came out with bags of food.

"We brought lunch!" Jessica said carefully climbing onto Dean's lap.

"Hey short stuff guess what?" Dean said when Jessica stopped moving.

"What?" she said looking up at him.

"I'm moving out here too." he said smiling. Jessica screeched and hugged him bumping his hurt arm in the process.

"Jessica be careful!" Roman said sternly.

"Uncle Dean is always going to be here." Jessica said.

"Maybe a few minutes from here but yes." Dean said smiling. Jessica smiled hugely as everyone started joking and talking. And this is when I realized life without wrestling would be fine.

Seth and I got to my apartment the next day around 11 am. We knew Dean's apartment would go fast, he gave a very short list on what to pack but I was way more complicated. We stopped at the door so I could unlock it.

"Do you think Jason still lives here?" Seth asked leaning against the wall.

"I don't know. Maybe." Just as I opened the door and was about to walk in I heard a voice call my name.

"Rox.." I turned and saw Jason standing there.

"What do you want?" Seth asked with an edge to his voice I never heard before.

"I'm not trying to cause problems I just wanted to warn you.."

"About what?" I asked standing in the door way.

"Aaron..he's mad as hell."

"And? We already know that pretty boy." Seth asked rolling his eyes.

"He said he wanted to hurt Jessica."

"What!? How?!" I shouted stepping out of the door way.

"I'm not sure."

"Bull shit! Tell me and you tell me right now!" I said getting in his face.

"Rox I'm telling the truth! He said the way to hurt Roman the most was to hurt Jessica."

"Call him right now and figure out what the hell he is doing." I said Jason started to shake his head when Seth got in his face too. "You heard her." He said in a quiet intimidating voice.

"Can we at least do this in your apartment?" Jason asked. I reluctantly agreed and all 3 of us walked into my apartment.

"What are you waiting for? Call him. On speaker." Seth said staring at Jason with a deep hatred.

Jason took out his phone and started dialing "You two better be quiet." he warned as we heard the cell phone ringing.

"Yo Jason, what's up?" Aaron asked.

"Just hanging out I saw that bitch Rox and it got my blood boiling a little." I glared at him and kept telling myself to be quiet.

"I know how that is. She's is an irritating little thing. Where'd you see her?"

"Down here in Vegas, she was going into her apartment with two toned."

"That ass hole huh? Wonder if Dear Roman knows shes got his best friend in her apartment. Told you girl couldn't keep her legs closed. This will be a good thing to tell Roman." Aaron laughed.

"Yeah man you got that right." Jason laughed. "But speaking of that I just had to hear what you have planned for Jessica. I can't wait to see Rox get what's coming to her."

"I'm going to hurt Jessica."

"How man? Come on details. What are you going to do to the little brat?" I started shaking my leg wanting to beat the crap out of both these guys.

"Bro you know I wouldn't lay my hands on a child. All you need to know is, Jessica is going to be in a lot of pain. Pain that will never go away. I gotta go, I'm taking Brittney out talk to you later, avoid Rox. She's too much drama got it?"

"Yeah man, bye."

"What the hell is he going to do?" Seth asked thinking out loud.

"You can go now Jason." I said walking to the door and making him leave.

"We need to hurry up and get home."

"You're right." Seth said. We tried to call Roman or Dean all day before our phones died and neither of us brought packed up my apartment and Dean's in record time as we had a moving company driving it all to Florida. Seth and I booked the first plane out to Florida, which was the next day and sped back to Roman's.

Our flight was delayed multiple times and it was dinner time by the time we got dropped off at the house. Seth paid the taxi and I ran into the house to see if anything happened. As soon as I opened the door Jessica saw me and ran up to me. I picked her up and hugged her as tight as I could.

"I missed you Rox."

"I missed you too sweetheart. You have no idea." I said squeezing her tighter. I saw Roman look at me concerned.

"I missed you Uncle Seth." Jessica said letting go of me and reaching out to Seth.

"How are you angel?" Seth said hugging her tightly just like I just had. I saw Roman and Dean look at each other confused then back to us.

"Roman I need to talk to you right now." I said walking out onto the patio. I noticed Dean had followed us while Seth played with Jessica in the living room.

"Dean -" I began to say before he waved his hand at me.

"Somethings going on and I want to know what." He took the seat next to where Roman was standing and they both stared at me.

"Jason ran into me and Seth at my apartment and said." Just then Roman's phone started ringing.

"Hang on baby let me get this." He said picking up his phone.

"Hello? Yes this is Roman. What?! Oh my God, what happened? Was anyone with her? But he's okay? Yeah what time? Okay I'll be there." Roman hung up and sat in the chair looking dismayed.

"Rome..baby..who was that?"

"A doctor or police..someone.." he said quietly.

"Man what's going on?"

"Aaron and Brittney were found in their house.."

"And?" I asked walking up and sitting down in front of him.

"Apparently someone broke into their house while they were home... they were both beaten badly and ..and.."

"What Roman?" I asked reaching out grabbing his hand

"They can't tell me all the details over the phone but Aaron survived but Brittney didn't.."

"Oh my God." Dean said while I just sat there shocked. Then it hit me what Aaron said on the phone. Pain that will never go away. Like the pain a little girl would feel losing her mother.

"That son of a bitch." I said getting up pacing.

"What? Who?" Dean asked.

"Aaron!"

"What are you talking about?" Roman asked looking up at me.

"Jason told us Aaron wanted to hurt Jessica! He called him infront of us and we heard Aaron say he was going to cause her pain without putting his hands on her that's what I was going to tell you." I said.

"And you didn't think to call anyone!?" Roman yelled getting up.

"I tried! We both did but our phones died and we didn't have our chargers." I tried to explain.

"Then drive your ass to the store and buy one!" Roman yelled again. "I can't fucking believe this." He said getting up and walking inside slamming the sliding glass door.

Seth walked out and looked at us "What's wrong with him? He just snatched Jessica up and left."

"Brittney died. Aaron is fine." Seth looked confused and then I saw the realization hit him.

"He killed Brittney?" he asked shocked.

"I don't know..we don't know the details Roman is going somewhere at some time to do something but he's mad at us."

"Us?! What the hell for?" Seth asked

"We didn't call to warn him."

"Our phones were dead, we had no charger!" Seth said getting irritated.

"You two could have gone to the store and bought one Seth." Dean said standing up and walking to the door. Before he walked inside Seth grabbed his arm.

"Wait, so you're blaming us for this?"

"I'm not saying it's your fault because you didn't make the choice or do it yourself I'm just saying if you were being logical it could have been prevented."

He walked inside and we followed. "Seriously Dean? You're not exactly fucking thinking straight when you hear what we heard! We tried to get back here as fast as we could to let Roman know! How the hell were we supposed to know that he was going to do anythin within 24 hours?!" I yelled.

"I don't care what the excuse is, you two could have found a fucking way to tell me!" we heard Roman yell as he walked down the stairs.

"We tried!" I yelled.

"Not hard enough!"

"Come on man, we didn't do anything-" Seth said

"That's right you didn't!" Roman interrupted.

"Okay we fucked up sorry!" Seth said getting irritated.

"Sorry isn't going to bring the love of my life back!" Roman yelled. I felt my heart break. I know he loved her and had memories with her but that cut me deep.

"You still loved her?" I asked quietly.

"She's the mother of my child I was always going to love her. That's beside the point Rox!" Roman said in a loud voice. We all stayed standing there in awkward silence. I know it's not fair to be hurt but I was.

"You two need to get out of my house." Roman said quietly.

"Rome..." I said taking a step to him.

"GET OUT OF MY HOUSE! NOW!" He yelled I jumped back and looked at Dean behind him who avoided eye contact. I turned around and looked at Seth.

"Come on Rox." Seth said grabbing my arm and walking out.

We walked to a hotel and got a room with two beds.

"You okay Rox?" Seth asked as I sat down on the bed. I nodded my head and looked out the big window.

"Are you?" I asked.

"No.." I looked up at him and he looked shaken. "Do you think if we had said something she would be alive?" He asked.

"For tonight maybe..for good? No.. I know Aaron. Nothing was going to stop him." Seth nodded his head and got up walking to the window.

"I feel guilty too Seth." He turned and looked at me.

"I swear I had no idea he would kill her or have someone kill her."

"I didn't either Seth. I was so scared for Jess getting hurt that my common sense wasn't working. We could have bought chargers or used someone elses phone something... i know all the now but at the time I didn't... I was too scared.."

"I know what you mean Rox. Honestly they can yell at us all they want if they were in that situation they'd understand common sense leaves and you aren't thinking straight. We came back as fast as we could to tell them."

"I can't believe Roman kicked us out.. I can't believe they blame us ya know?"

"Yeah I know." Seth said. We fell into a silence both consumed in our own thoughts.

After a few minutes Seth sat down in front of me on my bed. "With what Roman.. I mean are you..do you need..."

"What is it Seth?" I asked looking at him curiously.

"With Roman saying it wouldn't bring back the love of his life... are you okay?" he asked. I could see concern in his face.

"I understand it..they have history together, they were together for a long time and have a kid together. I guess, never mind." I said shaking my head.

"Tell me."

"It's selfish."

"I don't care tell me. I won't tell anyone I promise."

I took a deep breath and looked into his eyes "I guess it just hurt. Roman is the love of my life and I'm not his. I know it's so selfish to say right now and I'm a horrible person because I'm just sitting here like he wants her back because he wanted to be with her. Like if I was the one Aaron went after, if i'm the one who died.. would he have said I was the love of his life?"

"I get it. Trust me I understand. I know he loves you though if that helps."

"I know he loves me i just feel like I'm in competition, that I always was. And it's one I'll never win. And I'm such a heartless person for thinking about this. I know he is hurt and ugh i hate myself"

"I don't think you should hate yourself.. I think a lot of people would feel that way. He's just in shock okay? He'll call you when he is ready to deal with all this okay?"

I nodded my head and grabbed the hotel phone.

"Don't call him Rox."

"I'm calling Dean."

Dean answered after the first few rings.

"Hello?"

"Dean, is he okay?"

"Is that a real question?" he asked annoyed.

"Did he tell Jess?"

"Nope. Not yet."

"Do you hate us Dean?"

"No."

"So...you're still cool with us?" I asked hopeful

"No." he was short and I blinked back the tears. I heard talking in the background before Dean spoke back to me. "Where are you?"

I told him the hotel I was at and heard him tell Roman then he just hung up on me. I told Seth Roman wanted to know where we were and he just nodded.

An hour later there was a knock on our hotel room door and Seth went to get it. It was Roman standing there with a lot of luggage.

"I brought you guys clothes, tooth brush, paste. Those type of things." He moved the bags in and wouldn't look at me.

"Roman I'm sorry.."

"Yeah, you're sorry a lot." Roman said glaring at me.

"If I knew this was going to happen..."

"You pretty much did. And you did nothing." He said cutting me off.

"Man put yourself in our shoes, it's not fair." Seth finally spoke up.

"You really want to say what's not fair right now Rollins? What's not fair is that I have to go explain to my daughter that her mother is dead because of a psycho Rox brought into our lives!"

"Brittney brought him into your life!" Seth defended me.

"Who went after me because of Rox."

"So all this is my fault.,,?" I asked him looking at him hurt.

"A lot of it is."

"That's not right Roman!" Seth once again jumped in defending me.

"Oh it's not? So the reason Dean was almost killed was because of Brittney?" He asked.

"No! It was because of Aaron! Not Brittney or Rox!"

"He went after Dean because of what again? Rox!" Roman yelled.

"I know it's my fault okay!" I yelled while crying.

"I'll pack the rest of your stuff tonight and bring it by tomorrow." Roman said turning to walk away.

"Roman wait! We have to talk about us we-"

"There is no us." Roman said coldly.

"We're over...?" I asked taken aback.

"I've seen what you bring with you and what happens when people are tied to you.. I'm not putting my daughter through that."

"I'll take care of him.."

"You've said that before and Brittney is dead now."

"It's not her fault! She's done nothing but be there for you and your kid that your perfect little Brittney abandoned!" Seth said from the other side of the room.

"I should have just fucking stayed with Brittney." Roman scoffed turning around.

"You regret being with me?"

"I regret meeting you." and with that he turned and walked away. I turned around and looked at Seth who immediately got up and hugged me.

"He's just mad right now Rox. He didn't mean any of that okay?"

"Yeah he did..." I started crying harder.

"It's going to be okay." He whispered.

"You think Hunter will let me come back?"

"Rox..."

"I have nothing keeping me here...mine as well go back to WWE."

"You two will work it out."

"He kicked me out. He regrets me, blames me for what happened to Dean and blames for Brittney's death.. we're over Seth." I started sobbing as Seth just held me trying to soothe me.

Roman just walked out of the room, out of our relationship and out of my life.
