Chapter 25

You felt someone shaking your shoulder gently, pulling you from your deep sleep. You had shut off your alarm clock hours ago, not wanting to even think about training. And now you were woken up again.

"Hey...sweetie. I got you some breakfast."

You cracked open an eye as you heard Seth's voice and looked up at him. His hair was wet and he smelled fresh. He must've showered after his morning run. Slowly, you sat up, adjusting the pillows behind you. "You did? Thank you. That was thoughtful of you."

Seth smiled and bought the tray over to your lap. It was room service food but it didn't matter. It smelled delicious. He sat down next to you and sighed. "So...what do you think about what happened last night?"

"I'm really upset. I mean...I guess i can understand where he's coming from. It's not easy being in a relationship like this. None of us are used to it but it seems like he just wants me to choose him over you. I can't do that." you replied.

"But, you like him more than you like me, right? At least...you have a deeper connection with him." Seth stared at his lap and you could practically feel the sadness filling the room.

"That may be so but you do mean a lot to me Seth. I mean I have more in common with you then I do Roman. I've always like hardcore metalhead guys, Roman is seriously not the type I usually go for. Plus it's easier to talk to you and i...please don't leave me too Seth." You gripped his hand tightly.

"What? No! I would never...I don't want to hurt you."

You smiled and gave him the tightest hug you could managed. "I want you to stay with me...always."

He pressed his forehead to yours and gave you a gentle kiss. "I will, ok? I'm not the problem with Roman but he might make you choose one or the other."

"It's an ultimatum I don't want to face but if he leaves I...don't really know what I would do. But i also can't force him into a relationship he doesn't want. And if he does leave than that means you and i would be together and I'd rather give you my all then be all depressed over Roman."

"Would it be so bad if he left?" Seth asked.

"Well no. I'd still have you by my side...but i still don't want to choose."

"I know. I wouldn't want to be in your position either. I mean, I'm not even really dating him. He just uses me from time to time."

"God Seth, why do you let him hurt you like this? It breaks my heart...you love him, don't you?" You said sadly, tears prickling your eyes.

"Yeah," he let out a large sigh. "But it doesn't matter."

"It does so matter! You're just torturing yourself for no reason."

"You're a good reason. I wanted to stay with you too. And i knew that if Roman was going after you I'd loose my chance. Who knows, maybe he'll come around and maybe he won't...we just have to wait it out and see."

Your appetite had already left you but you ate anyway. Heavy thoughts were bringing you down entirely. You wished it was easy to make decisions like this, or even that you didn't have to make such tough choices. Sometimes you even envisioned what it would be like if you hadn't ever fallen for these two men...if you hadn't asked Roman to spear you on that fateful day. You laid your head against Seth's shoulder and exhaled slowly. You hoped going back to sleep would help you forget it all.

It had been several weeks since you and Roman had had a decent conversation. Everytime you even attempted to speak to him about anything serious he would deflect it or turn it into an argument. If you were lucky you could sneak a kiss or get some sort of affection from him. He was rising more and more up the corporate ladder, becoming of the biggest names the WWE had. Seth and Dean were busy having their feud which barely left any room for a scattered "shield" member. The matches they gave you were pathetic especially since the Aj/Paige thing was growing in popularity as well.

The bosses were fed up with your lack of being a "Diva", that your image wasn't what the company was looking for. Either shed some clothes and start loosing or go somewhere else. That's how you saw it. Seth was there to comfort you as best he could. You felt so bad. You wanted to give him your entire world but you were never feeling your best these days. You feared hurting him, breaking his heart. It tore at you day in and day out. Dean was the only one who knew the extent of your problems but he wasn't much help in making decisions. He would always say that you should choose with your heart, those decisions were solely up to you and that he couldn't help. He wouldn't even tell you what Seth or Roman said when he talked to them. You were desperate to pick their brains. You all went into this as a team and now the three of you were in this weird broken up hiatus thing, like your very own personal Shield heel turn.

It was driving you insane and you could barely focus on anything. And even on top of all that there had been this sickness hovering over you for awhile now. Every morning you were nauseated, every night plagued my soreness, aches and pains. You were cranky too, but you figured it was all the stress. When you told Dean the first thing he said was literally the last thing you wanted to hear.

"Maybe you're pregnant."

"Dean, seriously, shut the fuck up. Don't jinx it!"

"Hey I'm just saying what could be true. Was there ever a time they uh...didn't use a condom."

"No! Of course not!" You thought for a moment. "Well..."

"Dude, really? I thought you of all people would be more careful than that." Dean scoffed.

"Hey! I was in a transitional period with my birth control because this stupid fucking company didn't cover my old kind so I had to get a new one and...and there was a time with Roman and a time with Seth."

Dean ran his fingers threw his hair frantically as he started to pace. "You mean to tell me that if you are in fact pregnant you don't know who the father would be?!"

You gripped Dean by his shoulders and faced him. "Stop fucking jinxing it, Dean. I'm not pregnant. At all. It's fine. I got this."

"You. Are. A. Fucking. Idiot."

"Don't blame it all on me, Dean!"

"I'm not I just...i need to hit something with a chair. Fuck."

You rolled your eyes and sat him down on the bench. "Calm down, dude. You're starting to freak me out. I don't need you going all ADHD right now. Why are you going so crazy?"

"Because, Leena this is bad news. If Wade was here he'd be all over it! This is bad news for you, bad news for Seth and Ro, and bad news for the company because it means a fucking huge ass scandal. You could get fired over this. Do you understand that?" Dean said.

"They can't fire me for something so stupid! It's just unreasonable." You sat down beside him and gnawed at your bottom lip. He was making your blood pressure skyrocket, you could feel it. "Dean...what am I gonna do?"

"Fuck if I know, kid." he grabbed your hand and held it tight. "I'll be here every step of the way though. You know that."

"Yeah... but will they?"

"I don't know...I'm sorry but I have to go hide in Seth's car now, ok? Once I'm done and the cameras are off I'll come pick you up. Unless you want to see Roman's match?"

You shook your head. "No, he's already upset that they're not giving him the titles. I really don't want to be at the end of his anger. I might just stay with you and Seth."

Dean nodded. He kissed your forehead before leaving towards the venue's parking lot. You sighed as you grabbed your cell phone from your bag. Your hand were shaking as you looked threw your contacts. Deep down you knew what you were about to do would probably fuck shit up even more but it was a last resort. Everything seemed like it would end badly anyway. Roman ignored you, Dean wasn't enough help, the company hated you, you felt like you were leading him on, and you might be pregnant. What else could you do?

You waited as the phone dialed, anticipating hearing the voice on the other end.

"Hello?"

"H-hi...I don't know how to explain this and doubt you're the last person that wants to hear this but I really need some help. I need you and-"

"Say no more, darlin'. I'll be right there." Jeff said.

ANNNNDDD that's a wrap you guys! it's finally finished:) Thank you to all my readers, followers and reviewers, i really appreciate it. This little one-shot turned saga got close to 4000 views in just under 2 weeks. But if you're desperate to find out what will happen next I plan on making a sequel, The Future Keeps Rollins (funny I know) in the next few days. Also the latter part of the story takes place on Battleground, which is why Dean was going to hide in the car (in case anybody needed that info)
