I think the beginning of this is so awkward so I am sorry for that. I'm thinking of adding more and more Dean parts to show more of his and Rox's relationship. So let me know if I should? This is a short chapter mostly about a Dean story. The next chapter should be up by the 4th and will be longer and mostly about Rox and Roman! I'm leaving Rox and Roman for the next chapter so you can tell me what you would like to see happen between them during it. Review and let me know :)
*Rox's POV*
The crowd was amazing for them tonight. When the shield's music hit, everyone just stopped and looked around and when they saw Dean and Roman the place went crazy. Tonight was the first time I ever heard a lunatic chant when Dean was doing his promo and when Roman hit his spear the pop from the crowd was unbelievable. The show went off the air with the audience chanting hounds of justice.
When they walked backstage through the curtain Jessica took off to Roman jumping in his arms right away. The smiles on their faces were huge. I can't remember the last time I saw them that happy and I wanted it to last. Jessica was hugging Dean repeating parts of his promo to him while him and Seth laughed. Roman walked away a bit to go get a bottle of water and I walked up to him.
"That was amazing Rome. They missed you so much." he turned and looked at me with his smile gone.
"Yup it was great."
"Rome.." before I could finish Hunter and Stephanie were walking towards us so Dean and Seth joined us.
"That was a hell of a night boys!" Hunter said with a proud smile on his face.
"It was amazing! I didn't want it to end." Dean said.
"You did good! We would love to be able to figure out a way for you to rejoin. Roman can come back as a wrestler and Dean you can be on commentary." I looked at Dean and saw the disappointed look on his face.
"I don't know Hunter. I'm a full time dad now. That's my number 1 priority." Roman said holding Jessica's hand.
"Sleep on it. But Steph and I are full time parents and we both travel but we make it work. We can work on adjusting your schedule and she is always welcomed here. Just think about it. You too Dean."
Roman nodded his head and Hunter and Steph walked off.
"I can't believe they want me on commentary." Dean said, the disappointment in his voice.
"Hey, stop that Dean. I told you, we're going to work like hell, and we're going to get you back in that ring okay?" I said giving him a reassuring smile.
"You're going to try to return?" Roman asked raising an eye brow.
"I want to man. It's.. I'm always going to want it."
"I'll help you. We can run drills and train like old times."
"I don't want to put you out or anything. Stress you out, especially if you want to come back."
"You helped me in FCW I got you now. Honestly, I'm surprised it took you this long to say you're going to start trying to return." Roman smirked.
"I didn't know how much I wanted to until tonight. I got the odds stacked against me." he shrugged.
"You made a life outta proving people wrong." Seth said, quoting one of Dean's old promos.
Dean got a huge smiled on his face, one where you could see his dimples. A few people came up to us shaking Dean and Roman's hand and telling them how good they did tonight. The divas came over and were talking with Jessica while Roman seemed to just try to avoid all conversations.
"Can I talk to you alone?" I whispered to Roman, he gave me a blank stare. "Please." he stayed staring at me for a few moments before giving me a slight nod and walking outside to the back of the building where we were the only ones out there.
"I'm so sorry Roman." he sat down on the curb and looked up at me. "You were right. I still think I have my reasons to not trust you but I'm a shitty person. I had no idea how much pain you were in, it never even crossed my mind. I'm selfish. I didn't think of how her death and everything affected you, I only thought about what you did to me. I didn't know you were so emotionally hurt and I hate myself for not noticing or even asking."
"You were dealing with your own emotional problems." he said quietly.
"And once again you had to be strong for another person with no one there to be strong for you. You deal with me pulling you in and then pushing you away. You dealt with me killing people. You dealt with me seeing them, scaring Jessica, hurting myself. You were there every step of the way, checking on me and I was too selfish to even be there for you once. But i'm going to fix it. I'm going to be there for you. I promise."
"Don't promise me anything." he said coldly.
"Look, I gave you chances to prove to me you're sorry and to fix us right? Do the same for me. Give me the chane. Let me be there for you and fix my problems and fix us."
I saw him look behind me and roll his eyes and I turned around seeing Seth walk up to us. "Hey guys, just letting you know we'll be in the bus whenever you're ready."
"K." Roman said. Seth looked at him annoyed before shaking his head and walking off.
I sighed and walked closer to him and getting on my knees and putting my hands on his thighs "Roman look at me." he looked at me and there were so many different emotions all over his face. "I love you okay? I'm not saying you're seeing things with Seth I'm just saying I don't but even if he likes me, it doesn't effect us. I do want to fix everything with you, i do want to be with you. I get it if you don't trust me, I am still scared to trust you but you've been strong enough for everyone else. I'm going to be here and be strong for you. No matter what."
He nodded his head and i kissed his cheek before standing up and extending my hand to him. He took it and gave me a slight smile before we walked back to the bus.
*Dean's POV*
I was on the bus making myself some food when Roman and Rox came in. They told me and Seth good night and them, along with Jess went to bed. When my food finished cooking i grabbed it and a beer and walked over to the couch turning on the T.V.
"Listen man, I apologize about earlier. Your relationship is none of my business." Seth said sitting on the couch across from me.
"Whatever man."
"Seriously Dean, I am sorry."
"Why don't you just stop commenting on stuff you know nothing about okay?" I was getting annoyed and fast.
"What's the big deal? I made one stupid comment without thinking it's not that big a deal."
"There's a reason I haven't been in a relationship for so long and maybe if you knew the story you wouldn't make dumb ass comments okay?!"
Seth looked taken aback and I turned my attention back to the tv.
"What's the story?" I heard Seth say after a few minutes of silence.
"It doesn't matter." I mumbled finishing my food.
"Tell me. I want to know why what I said was so bad." Seth pushed.
I groaned. "Drop it."
"You know I'm not going to do that. Tell me."
"Ugh fine! My last relationship was when I was 25. I was with her since I was 23. She supported me in becoming a WWE wrestler. When I made it to wwe, she up and quit her job to come live with me in Florida to keep our relationship going. I thought she must really love me so I would support her until she found a job. I started doing dark matches before Raws and Smackdowns so i would be gone weeks at a time. I knew she still didn't have a job so I left her my credit card for anything she needed. She would take care of all the house hold stuff. Grocery shopping, paying the bills, all that shit." I paused to take a drink of my beer, the memory coming back. "She started taking trips to the spa and getting her hair done all the time and nails and everything. I told her she needed to cool it with spending my money. She started a shit storm about supporting me and how I should do the same. We fought about it all the time so I just gave in and said okay. We were fine after that. We were back to us. That girl.. I loved that girl man. She was my perfect woman. I bought a ring for her." I saw Seth's shocked expression "Yup.. I was going to propose to her. She was the love of my life. She supported me through making nothing to now being in the big times, she never believed the rumors of me with all these women, she always made me feel special and cared about. Her and Rox even got along. I walked into the house on a day I should have been in Cali to surprise her. Take her out to dinner, beach walk all that cheesy shit. I wrote a letter so I wouldn't forget what to say when I proposed. I walked in and there she was..riding some random dude on my couch. I blacked out. I don't remember what happened exactly but I remember pounding my fist into his face. She called the cops and got me arrested. Said I broke in. Broke into my own house." I laughed bitterly. "She came to drop the charges so I could leave. She kept telling me she did it to help me. That she couldn't stop me and didn't want me to kill the guy and that's the only way she could think to stop me. We got to the house and I told her to get her shit and get out and she started crying. She kept sayng how sorry she was and how she would never see him again. She kept telling me she loved me and only wanted me. I believed her. I loved her ya know? I forgave her and we were perfect again. I'd randomly show up and no guy was ever there. She even found a job. We got a joint bank account and a few months later I proposed and she said yes. Hunter kept telling me I was going to be officially on the main roster so I would prepare her for me to leave and then he'd tell me plans fell through and I would have to tell her that. It added so much stress to our relationship. When I went to do dark matches it went from me being gone for a few days to a few weeks and we started fighting all the time. I always tried to fix it. Well one day I got home and unlocked the door and everything was gone. It looked like a brand new apartment. I went into the office part and saw all the documents were gone, then i noticed she left me a note but not my credit cards. I called my bank and found out she cleared out all my money. All the money I earned was gone. I picked up the note and read it. Bitch said she was leaving me for that dude she fucked on my couch. Told me how sorry she was but it was over. She told me she pawned the engagement ring. Then the landlord showed up and handed me eviction papers... she was using my money to support her new guy. Not to pay my bills like she said. I was broke and homeless. Rox and me moved in together and I saw the girl one other time. At a bar. Rox slapped her and we left. I just never wanted to be in a relationship after that. I don't want to be screwed over again. Relationships just don't work. When Roman and Rox can't even work out, i know this whole love thing is bull shit. I'm alone and I like it that way I don't need you or anyone else commenting on it when you know nothing okay?" I got up and walked quickly to my room. Taking deep breaths I remembered her. I remembered lying in bed on a Tuesday morning. Her head on my chest, her hair sprawled out. She would look up at me with her blue eyes and smile. I could feel me running my hand through her hair. I loved her so much. She made me believe love was real. Then she took everything. I let out a loud scream and started breathing hard. I'll never get over what she did to me.
