Quick update. I had to split this chapter into two different parts or it would have been way too long. The next chapter will be longer and in more details

*Romans POV*

I wiped my cheek, took a deep breath and walked back inside.

"Are you okay daddy?" Jess said walking up to me.

"Yeah I'm okay babygirl. I'm going to go make dinner." I said faking a smile and walking into the kitchen. A few minutes later Dean walked in looking at me curiously.

"Seriously man you okay?"

"Rox walked away."

"And?"

"From us, Dean."

"I thought the 'us' was over." he said sitting down on the counter.

"It was but not for good. At least not to me. It is now though."

"I'm lost. Why do you care? You're the one who ended things."

"I ended it because.. I just did okay? But I still love her it didn't just go away."

"I'm not too good at relationships but I'm pretty sure if you love someone you don't break up with them. Or hook up with another girl."

"No shit Ambrose that's why she left!" I said slamming down the spoon that was in my hand.

"Hey I'm on your side here okay? I just don't get why if you really loved her you walked away."

"Just like if you were really a best friend like you two always claimed why'd you walk away?" I turned around and looked at him.

"Because she was wrong."

"You don't leave a best friend because they're wrong Dean."

"That's why you kicked Seth out." he pointed out. I put both my hands on the counter and looked down. I really fucked up this time.

*Rox's POV*

I walked back into Seth's house and sat on the couch crying. I felt completely alone. Any time this would have happened I would have went to Roman or Dean and those are the two who left me. I haven't felt this alone since I met Dean. Everything Brittney told me just started playing in my head. Bet she's somewhere saying I told you so, I thought. Just the thought of Roman made me want to puke. I can't believe he would do this to me. Well... I just to be fair he didn't do anything to me. He is single and it was only a matter of time before some girl went after him. It just hurt that it was so soon. I thought we were going to work everything out and get back together but now that was never going to happen. I'm so mad I believed him every time he said for the long haul, I'm mad I cheated on someone for him and I'm mad I stayed all those times I wanted to walk away just because of him. Now I was stuck here for at least a week because of this damn concussion. I picked up my phone and started dialing Seth's phone number since he was the only "friend" I had. Which is probably only because we had no one else.

"Hey Rox! How are you?" he answered cheerfully.

"I saw Roman with another girl."

"Wait what? Tell me what happened?"

"Jess called me off Roman's sisters phone last night I told her I was home and could visit her if she wanted, she told me she would be home in the morning. Since she wakes up so early I thought by the time I got there she would have been home but instead I saw Roman and some girl making out on his porch. I came back later to see Jess and we just got into another argument and I found out he slept with whoever the girl was 3 times.. he kept telling me he missed me and wanted me back but.." I started crying all over again.

"Hey sweetie it's okay alright? I'm flying home tomorrow and we can do something to make you feel better. Ice cream and stupid movies or whatever the hell it is you chicks do when you go through a break up."

"The only thing I really want to do is go back to the night I started having feelings for Roman and walk away. You know what really gets me about everything over the past few weeks Seth?"

"What's that Rox?"

"The fact that you and I weren't close and when push came to shove you had my back over two people I was closest too. I mean Dean always said he was my best friend but he never stood by me during these fights he was always against me too. It just makes me question if we were ever really best friends in the first place. I feel like I've been lied to and made a fool of."

"Honestly Rox I've noticed that a while ago. I have no idea how you two were best friends when he would leave and take other peoples side so easily. I just think-" suddenly someone knocked on the door.

"Hold on Seth, someone's at the door." I walked over to the door and opened it.

"Hello are you Rox?"

"Yes.." i said quietly.

"Hi Rox, I'm detective Burch and this is my partner detective Morgan."

"Seth I got to go the cops are here." I said hanging up the phone "How can I help you?"

"May we come in?" the female detective Morgan said. She looked very serious and intimidating while Burch looked more friendly.

"Oh yeah of course." I said moving aside letting them in "Would you like something to drink?"

"No thank you." Morgan said sitting down at the kitchen table next to Burch. "Please have a seat we have something we would like to talk to you about." I nodded my head and sat across from them.

"Now I know this happened a little more than a week ago but we had to wait to get Aaron's statement before we moved on. What do you know about Brittney's murder? You could call an attorney if you would like" I took a deep breath suddenly nervous.

"Um no I don't need an attorney. Seth and I were in Vegas to pack mine and Dean's things so we could move out here and I ran into my ex, Jason, who was Aarons' brother. He told us that Aaron was going to hurt Jessica and we asked him how and made him call Aaron in front of us and he said he was going to hurt Jessica without touching her. We flew back as fast as we could and I was going to warn Roman when he got the call that Brittney was murdered."

"So you're telling us Aaron set this up?" Morgan asked. I nodded my head. "Ms. Rox, their house was broken into both were attacked and Brittney died. You expect us to believe Aaron faked a break in, killed Brittney then managed to beat himself up."

"Maybe he hired someone?" I suggested.

"This is what I think happened. We know you and Brittney met for dinner. We know she warned you about Roman. We also know Aaron is your ex and about Brittney fighting for custody of her child. I think you got worried for Roman and took matters into your own hands and you went after Brittney. You killed her and didn't expect Aaron to be home so you tried to kill him too but he fought through. I see you're no longer living with Roman so I'm guessing you two broke up. Now why would he break up with you if you had nothing to do with it?"

I looked at the cop shocked. "He got mad I didn't warn him earlier."

"Well why didn't you?"

"My phone was dead and I left my charger at Roman's house while I was in Vegas."

"And you had no home phone there? No store to buy a charger at? Nothing."

"I wasn't thinking clearly... I was worried about Jess." I said.

"Rox if you had something to do with this you need to let us know right now." Burch finally spoke up.

"I didn't do anything! What you want me to take a lie detector test?! Get my DNA?! I did nothing and had nothing to do with Brittney! It was Aaron!"

"Rox we told you Aaron would not attack himself." Morgan said sternly.

"But he'd pay for a friend to! He wouldn't make it obvious it was him! He was a drug dealer! He has connections!"

"You knew he was a drug dealer and you didn't go to the cops?" Morgan asked in a tone.

"No I didn't you see what happens when you're on his bad side! We all see how well the police can protect people!" I shouted.

"Excuse me ms. Rox but-"

"Am I under arrest?" I interrupted

"No."

"Then get out." I said walking to the door and opening it.

"We would like to continue talking" Detective Morgan said to me standing outside the door looking at me.

"We weren't talking you were excusing me not get off my property!" I said slamming the door running a shaky hand through my hair. I grabbed my laptop and did some research and called a few numbers before I found what I was looking for. I grabbed the address and walked out to the car.

After driving for a little while I pulled up to the hospital Aaron was staying in. I found got his room numbers from one of my calls, I have connections too, and walked in hitting record on my phone.

"Why hello there Rox." he smirked sitting up in bed and turning off the T.V.

"Tell the cops you killed Brittney. They're trying to make me take the fall."

"Afraid I can't do that sweetheart."

"Yes you can!" I yelled.

"I can't tell a lie." he smirked wider.

"What?"

"I didn't kill Brittney. What would killing Brittney do for me?"

"Hurt Jessica like you wanted. I heard what you said to Jason!"

"I'm going to need you to lower your voice if you want to know anything."

"Fine.. you killed Brittney to hurt Jessica." I said through gritted teeth.

"Why would I kill Brittney to hurt Jessica?"

"Because hurting Jessica would hurt Roman and me."

"Think about this for a second. I know you're not that smart but if you actually think for a minute you'd know I wasn't after Brittney. I wanted Brittney to have custody of Jessica. I wanted to hurt you. How would I do that?"

"You were going to go after Roman..." i said after a few minutes the realization hitting me.

"Ding ding ding we have a winner!" he said dramatically.

"Then who killed Brittney?" I asked thinking aloud.

"Jason."

"What?!" I said stunned.

"Baby brother did it. Apparently he wasn't too keen on the idea of you getting hurt so he tried to take me and Brittney out but he failed. In more ways than one. I'm still here. You still got hurt. I know Roman kicked you out. I know you had another fight earlier too."

"How do you know that...?"

"I've got eyes everywhere baby."

"Why didn't you turn Jason in then? He tried to kill you."

"Family is loyalty." I reached into my back pocket and pulled out my phone "I'm taking this to the police."

"What the hell? You recorded me!" Aaron yelled trying to stand up. "If you turn that into the police you're a dead woman I swear to God!"

"Bye Aaron." i said as confidently as I could while inside I was terrified.

I got back home and noticed Burch left a business card on the table so I picked up the phone and called him.

"Hello detective Burch." he said answering his phone.

"It's Rox I have something you need to hear."

"Alright I'm at Roman's right now but Detective Morgan has this under control so I'll head over."

"No! I want your partner to hear this. I'll come to you." I said hanging up and walking over to Roman's.

I ran to Roman's not caring if he wanted me there or not. I started knocking on the door until Roman opened it. I pushed my way in and saw Detective Morgan sitting there.

"There you are! Since you were so busy accusing people I decided to do your job for you. Here listen!" I said hitting play on my phone and letting both detectives hear what Aaron said. They both looked shocked and shook their head.

Burch took my phone and forwarded the message to his phone "Don't delete this just in case the judge wants to hear the original."

"Yup" I said grabbing my phone and putting it in my pocket.

"Don't worry about anything Rox, we can protect you." Morgan said.

"Yeah I'm sure you can." I said sarcastically rolling my eyes. Burch cleared his throat and motioned his head towards the door and Morgan nodded.

"Thank you Mr. Reigns, Mr. Ambrose we'll be in touch if we have any more questions." Morgan said shaking their hands while her and Burch left.

I waited til I heard their car drive off to turn around and face Roman and Dean.

"It's pretty ironic." I said.

"What is?" Dean asked looking confused.

"That you two kicked me and Seth out of your lives and the fact that you." I said pointed at Roman "said some of the meanest most hurtful things to me over us not warning you when in fact us warning you wouldn't have been able to stop it anyway. Almost like... we had nothing to do with it and it wasn't my fault." I faked a surprised face while Roman just looked down.

"What now neither of you have anything to say? You sure had a lot to say before now nothing?" I said.

"I'm sorry." Roman said looking into my eyes and I could tell he meant for more than just what I was referring to. I shook my head and walked off back to Seth's house.

I was crawling into bed with some Pizza to watch a movie when I remembered the last thing I said to Seth was that the cops were here and never called him back. I groaned and picked up my phone calling him.

"Rox! Thank God I was so worried!"

"Sorry Seth I was a little busy."

"So what happened?!"

"The cops tried to blame me for killing Brittney."

"What the hell!? Did they arrest you!?"

"No they just questioned me and I kicked them out and went to talk to Aaron he told me that he was going to go after Roman not Brittney and that Jason did it. I told him I recorded it all and was going to the police and he told me I was a dead woman."

"Oh my God.." Seth said. I could just picture the look on his face right now.

"Roman and Dean dropped us for something we didn't know about either." I pointed out.

"I don't give a fuck about that right now Rox. The guy who made your life hell and was going to go after Roman threatened you!"

"Seth I'll be fine."

"You don't know that!"

"I doubt he'll do anything to me okay?"

"No it's not okay! We all know what he did to you in the first place for no reason now he thinks he has a reason!"

I was trying to put on a brave front but I was scared. Seth wasn't helping either. I already thought everything he said and I was paranoid, scared and worse of all...alone.

"Look Seth everything's going to be okay. I just wanted to fill you in okay? I'm going to go to bed now I'll see you tomorrow. Good night." I said hanging up before he could say anything.

I know everything Aaron has done to me in the past was me getting off easy. Now he was coming after me and I had no idea what I was going to do.

Sometime last night I had fallen asleep. My sleep was filling with nothing but nightmares of what Aaron might do to me. I heard a loud crash downstairs and jumped sitting straight up in my bed. I looked at the time, it was 3 am. I heard doors being pulled opened and slammed shut. I went to get out of bed when I heard "Oh Rox..where oh where are you?" It was Jason. I froze. Now that I knew what he was capable of I knew why he was here. Aaron was serious when he said I was a dead woman. I glanced around the room trying to find the biggest thing I could fight him off with when my eyes landed on the window and I thought of one thing. Run.

I got off the bed and ran to the window opening it and climbing out. I knew he was getting closer to my room and I had to move fast.

I made it to the grass and took off running. In my head I was telling myself to go to Roman's. He's the only person I knew here but that would put Jessica in danger and I couldn't do that. So I was stuck.

"There you are!" I heard a voice yell and a sinister laugh follow. I looked back while running and saw Jason looking at me from my window smiling before he started to crawl out of.

This was it I thought.
