Lea was feeling the stress of her situation. She couldn't believe how her whole world had gone to hell in just five days. She had lost her two friends and more importantly her boyfriend of two years.

While she understood why Heath and Jinder had chosen Drew over her, it still hurt. Then she had found out she was being booked in a mixed tag match against 3MB.

The WWE wanted to cash in on the drama. The fans were loving the whole situation. The thing was, this wasn't a planned storyline. Everything was real. Unfortunately, the fans didn't realize this. So know it was becoming a storyline.

Roman had offered the only apology to date. He felt bad for Lea. Having your personal life play out on television couldn't be fun.

Seth had acted like a class A jerk. Smirking over everything. She wanted to punch him so bad but that would be dangerous.

Dean ignored her. He was great at pretending she did not exist. His job was to protect her not befriend her.

It was pretty much uncomfortable and somewhat hostile. Hoping the storm would just blow over, she prepared for her match.

The WWE wanted her to walk to the ring with the guys. So, here she stood. Staring down at the ring. Surrounded by a sea of rowdy fans.

Roman had given her a few tips on avoiding being mobbed. She was walking with Dean. He told her to walk in front of Dean.

After what seemed like ions, it was time for their match. She heard 3MB's music. She peeked out and saw Drew flirting with Aksana.

He was doing his best to hurt her. She pasted a fake smile on her face and waited for the cue.

It was time to go. The security team parted the curtains and cleared the path to the steps. From here on out, she had to fight off the fans.

One fan in particular grabbed her arm and wouldn't let go. Starting to panic, she tried to shove the large hand off her arm. She felt Dean's body press into her and the fan backed away.

She didn't want to feel relieved and thankful that Dean had been there. She wanted to hate him. But he kept coming to her rescue. The asshole was serious when he said he would protect her.

Once they got to the ring, Dean and Roman flanked her sides while Seth talked trash.

Roman checked her arm for bruises. He scanned the crowd looking for the bastard who had grabbed her. He saw the security guys leading him out of the arena.

He leaned down to Lea's ear and let her know what was happening. She smiled up at Roman.

Seeing Lea smile at Roman, Drew lost control and attacked Seth trying to get to Roman.

Dean shoved her behind him. She was pushed into the turnbuckles. Roman let out a feral roar. He was ready to throwdown.

Finally, the referee gained control of the situation and rang the bell. Drew and Roman would start the match.

The two heaviest hitters collided. Tired of getting beat down, Drew tagged Aksana into the match. Immediately, Lea entered the ring. She was ready to unleash her hurt and anger with violence.

She didn't have any issues with Aksana. She was just the only person she could get her hands on. She threw punches that were just a little harder than usual. Kicks that had more strength behind them.

As she locked Aksana in a Boston Crab, Drew ran into the ring. Breaking the hold and knocking Lea out of the ring.

Jinder grabbed her and threw her back into the ring. She stared back at Jinder. The betrayal stung. She tagged in Seth. She was done. As far as she was concerned, this match was now a six-man tag match. She stepped off the apron and stood on the ring steps. Making her stance clear.

Dean kept one eye on her. It was clear that Drew was willing to attack her if he got the chance.

Seth was flying all over the ring. Everytime Heath tried to fight back, he knocked him back down to the mat. Frustrated, Heath tagged in Aksana.

Pissed off now, Lea climbed back into the ring. Determined to finish the match and get away from Drew. Knocking Aksana to the mat, she locked eyes on Drew as she relentlessly kicked her in the stomach.

Lea was a former MMA competitor and one of the most dangerous divas on the roster. She locked Aksana in her Triangle ChokeHold.

Immediately Aksana tapped out. Seeing 3MB start to enter the ring, she broke the hold and crawled back to her corner.

Rolling out of the ring, she jumped the barricade and began walking back. She could care less if The Shield was behind her or not.

Catching up with her, Dean jerked her against his body. He started down into her eyes. He felt the fire that was blazing underneath her skin.

He leaned down against her. "when are you going to learn, you don't go anywhere without me. I am your shadow. We are joined together at the hip."

"Fuck you. You don't own me. You have no say in my life. I do what I want, when I want, whenever I fucking want."

Dean couldn't contain his laughter. Stroking his finger across her cheek. "Put your claws away kitten."

Lea was confused by Dean's actions. He wasn't a toucher by nature. So for him to instigate touching was unusual.

She felt like she wasn't getting the whole message.

Instead of waiting for a response, Dean grabbed her wrist and continued to the locker room.

He liked having her knocked off balance. She got quiet and seemed to draw into herself.

Roman didn't like the game Dean was playing with Lea. It was one thing to play mindgames with opponents but Lea was different. She was a victim. He felt like a big brother towards her and Samoans were fierce when it came to family.

Seth watched quietly. He didn't really have a problem with Lea per se. He just didn't like this whole situation. So he tended to be a jerk. It was his default setting. He would protect her but he didn't have to be her friend.
