Dean was sitting in his hotel room, smashing everything in sight. He continued to pull at his hair. The stress was becoming too much, and he still had about two weeks until he would get his best friend back. Remembering this, he broke a lamp on his hotel's table. Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door. He checked the peephole, seeing his co-worker Daniel Bryan and wife Brie standing there. Dean opened the door and walked back into the room. The two followed him in, Brie closing the door behind her. Dean plopped on a chair by the dresser. He was holding his face in his hands.

Brie cleared her throat, "Dean, you need to relax. Seth isn't going to hurt Hadlynn." She leaned up against the wall. Daniel walked over to Dean, patting him on the back to try to calm him down. Brie continued, "Dean, we all know Hadlynn isn't stupid. She'll keep herself safe. She will find a way to get out of this."

Dean mumbed through his covered face, "Hadlynn is like my baby sister. I don't want to see her or the baby hurt."

"This is exactly what Seth wants," Daniel said. Dean looked up and met Daniel's eyes. Dean's eyes looked swollen and puffy. "He wants you to hurt. He wants to watch you lose your mind. Seth wants to see you hurt, internally and externally. I promise you that you will get Hadlynn back. I swear to you that you will."

"And," Dean added as he leaned back in his chair, "I'm going to make his life a living hell the next time I get the chance to."

Hadlynn stared up at the night sky through the car window. The sky was full of stars; it looked peaceful. Hadlynn was still bound and gagged. She wouldn't even face the left side of the car, knowing Seth would still be there. The car was silent since the two left the arena. Neither person wanted to address the other. It had been hours since they even look at each other.

Finally, Seth broke the awkward silence. "So, you feeling okay? Like, do you need anything?" Hadlynn continued to stare out of the window, ignoring him. "Y'know, we could atleast try to make this work. I'm not trying to make your time miserable." Hadlynn turned and faced the windshield. She started to scream something, but it was all muffled. She kept it coming, Seth staring at her the whole time.

After a solid five minutes, Hadlynn turned to look out of her window again. She still hadn't looked in Seth's direction. She tried to wiggle out of her ties once again. Her plan: untie them quietly so she could sneak by Seth later. This is bound to work, she thougt. She chuckled to herself. Good job, Hads. You're still cracking stupid puns even in terrible situations. Go me.

The car stopped suddenly, and Hadlynn turned to face the windshield, stopping herself before she looked at Seth. "God dammit," Seth yelled, "just look at me woman. I mean, I'm not going to hurt you. I told you that at least a thousand times. One thousand motherfucking times." His breathes were heavy. Hadlynn coud sense his eyes trying to burn a hole right through her. He started to drive again.

She hated all of this. Ryan wasn't there to make her smile and treat her like a princess, Dean wasn't there to make her laugh, and she couldn't protect her own baby from dangers. At home, she'd be able to do things for herself. She have somebody who loved her to keep her motivated. She would be able to be happy. At work, she didn't have to do anything. She could go sit at a ringside table and eat all night. Thinking of all of this, Hadlynn begn to cry.

Seth noticed her tears and let out a sigh. He reached for her face gently, causing Hadlynn to pull away. He shushed her, wiping her tears away with his thumb. She calmed down slighty. As she looked at the car clock, she began to drift off the sleep. She attempted to stop herself. However, she couldn't control herself. Now, she was asleep, at peace with her mind.

"Hey, Hadlynn? Hady, wake up." Hadlynn began to drift into consciousness, seeing Seth standing over her. She squinted at him. "We got to get moving, and you've been out for a while. I'll give some time to shower and all that." He rolled her over on the bed, untying her arms. She was in a bed? Her gag was already out, so that was one less thing to worry about. Seth grabbed her arm, leading her to the bathroom. He closed the door for her.

She caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror when she was getting out of her clothes. This gir looked so broken and hurt. Fragile even. It disguisted Hadlynn. She quickly turned and started the shower. She tried to scrub away the worries. Hadlynn prayed that the water would wash it all away. But, it wouldn't leave her that easily.

The door to the bathroom suddenly slammed open. Seth ran over to Hadlynn, wrapping a towel arund her body as he pulled her out of the shower. Hadlynn was freaking out, "Seth, what are you-". He shoved the wash clothe in her mouth typing the bandana around her head. He sat Hadlynn on the floor as she struggle, trying her hands to the pipes under the sink. He tightened the gag before he ran out of the room.

Hadlynn began to think, What is happening to me?
