"Hello?" Amber sat in her locker room, her phone to her ear as she tapped her foot nervousness just flowing through her. Pricking at her skin like a thousand needles, dipped or stuck in a freezer.
"Hey it's me." She said after a long silence which her sister didn't even bother to interfere.
"You haven't called in a long time, was starting to worry. Mom was panicking to." Amber just smiled biting at her lip before playing with the lint on her jeans. She hadn't really been sure what to wear for this match so she had just yanked on a pair of jeans that were ripped at the knee and fit her tight hugging everything correctly, a Dark Green V-neck shirt, with a pair of Green Flats.
"I've only been gone about a month, and I called you two weeks ago."
"But you said you would call much more often as in 3 days." She smiled slightly before rubbing the back of her neck. "Have you been watching?"
"Yeah, is that really what's happening?" Amber bit her lip.
"Yeah." She whispered staring at the floor.
"Alina already knew, she knew you weren't that good at acting." Amber laughed slightly as she thought of the 9 year old girl who always seemed to be able to tell when her aunt was going through something. "Has mom seen?"
"Nope, had to bribe Emily and Alina not to say anything." "They are only 6 and 9 but still they have you around their finger." "Hey, they got it from you." "Have you gone by my apartment." "If you're asking how your beast is, he's actually staying with us."
"He's not a beast okay, Krueger is just big, and what do you expect when he's a Bernese mountain dog." "I'm just joking with you, he actually sleeps all day plus he's a good babysitter, always following the kids around."
"He's a canine mom, should have been a girl."
"No he's fine the way he is, he guards the backyard to. He sleeps inside though so don't pee you're pants." "That's good." "When is your match?"
"It's not my match."
"You know what I mean."
"It's in…" Her eyes looked over at the clock and the pins poked deeper. "Five minutes." "Just trust that everything is going to be okay. And if it doesn't go your way at least that Seth guy sounds okay." "How did you-"
"Natalya was telling me about everything another way I found out, since you don't even talk to me." "I just didn't want to worry you guys." "We're family, it's your job to worry us, hell you're the baby of the family, and everyone is going to worry about you. Especially since you're the only one living your dream baby doll."
Amber knew that was true as well, her sister had gotten pregnant at a young age and since her boyfriend had left her, she couldn't do much but work to let her daughters have a good future. Then her older brother got married and as well had her kids young, hence the reason why his oldest daughter Dafnie was 13 and his youngest son Junior was 11.
"I know, but you know me."
"Yes, I do and I know you won't let anyone know about your problems until it eats you up. That's why I was shocked that you had called me and hadn't made me call you, I was about to." Amber didn't know what to say so she stayed quiet and was glad when one of the Tech guys knocked, "You're on in one minute."
"Okay thanks." She said standing up. "Hey Mayra I have to go okay?" "Okay. I'll… Call you after your match okay." "Okay."
"Bye, Remember I love you."
"Love you too Mayra."
"Okay Bye." "Bye." She hung up and sticking the phone inside her pocket, and walked out. Every step she toke it almost felt like she was walking towards her doom, like this was the end and in some weird and twisted way it was, because this meant a lot of things. Things could change for her, for good or bad. When she got to The Gorilla John was waiting for her giving her a small smile, Sheamus entrance music ringing in the background. "You ready?"
"Not really." She said gently crossing her arms over her chest. John pulled her into a hug, something Amber really needed.
"Look, trust me, we won't let those douches win, and you know that."
"I know but the fact is John you're not indestructible. What If you do and you get badly hurt by it?" "Then at least I know I got hurt trying to keep you safe." He whispered against her head before they separated, "Just stay on our side okay?" "Okay." She nodded before the tech guy played his music and he walked out. She could feel all the blood draining out of her body and nearly screamed when she felt two hands gently squeeze her shoulders. She turned and smiled seeing Cody, Natalya, and Kaitlyn standing behind her.
"They'll do great out there, and then we'll go home and get fat eating ice cream." Natalya said smiling. "In our case," Cody said smiling, "We'll get a packet of Monsters."
"I am going to hold that to you." Amber said before looking over at the Tech guy who nodded to her. "Well better get out there." She said giving them all a smile and hugging each and everyone one of them. Before making her way out. The crowd cheered when she walked out but her stomach dropped when she could see Dean leaning against the turnbuckle inside the ring while the rest of the Shield which was Roman and Seth were deciding who would be first. His head turned to look at her, ignoring his two fellow teammates as his eyes landed on her, his mouth setting in an amused smirk as he watched her walk towards the side were Randy and John were, Sheamus being the first to go against Roman who they had must have decided since Seth and Dean both got out to stand outside the ring, both men leaning against the ropes but Dean's eyes never left her.
When the match began everyone was cheering, encouraging the wrestlers to give it their all. The Crowd cheering for the good guys which in this case was obviously Sheamus, Randy, and John. But that didn't mean that there weren't the occasional cheers for the shield which Amber had to control herself and not go over their smacking them senseless. Roman was a big guy just like Sheamus and they both used that to their advantage, Roman throwing his weight towards Sheamus while the Great White would Clobber and Close line him whenever he could throwing in a couple of Brogue kicks but Roman spotted him as well throwing some spears here and there even pulling a couple of moves off the ropes. They began pinning when Roman hit Sheamus with a spear, but of course the Shield as well as John's team knew it would be that easy, especially since both rivaling teams wanted Amber.
Sheamus tapped in Randy, The crowd cheering louder than before, with a new found energy. Roman of course tapped out after Randy had tried to do an RKO while he was standing up. Seth came in and it was a very unique match, because well they both had very different wrestling styles, Randy was more about making a very quick impact and wanting to knock you out at that very moment. While Seth on the other hand was about technic, you could tell by the way he knew exactly which high flying move to do whenever Randy was in a specific spot. Seth even was able to Kick Randy on the side of his head with his foot when Randy was too close to the ropes, giving Seth an extra lift to just swing his foot making a very strong impact. The impact even able to knock Randy down and shake him up a bit before he stood up glaring at the younger male who showed no emotion. Randy of course then proceeded to jump onto the man and begin to throw punch after punch onto him. If it weren't for Rollins rolling out of the ring the match would have been over.
Amber ran a hand through her hair as she continued watching, pacing from one of the turnbuckle to the next occasionally hitting the mat as a sign of encouragement, but everyone including the audience knew where this match would end and who would decide the fate of her.
The two men who had not entered yet but were ready for anything and to give anything for something they wanted. The two men who it had all started with John Cena and Dean Ambrose. And when they got inside the whole crowd silenced, everything stayed silent, even the commentators who had been animatedly talking about it instantly shut up. Dean and John circled each other, like two rabid wolves eyeing one another up, both knowing that they wanted the same thing and neither willing to give up that easily.
John made the first move and they both locked up. They stayed that way a couple of minutes before John finally pushed the younger male towards the ropes, pushing themselves in it and then John threw Dean who ran towards the other ropes bouncing of those and running towards John, John was going to clothesline him but he was the one who got knocked onto his back as Dean jumped and with both feet hit the older man in the chest knocking him down and causing John to fall hard on his back. Amber knew his breath had gotten knocked out of him by the way he stumbled as he got up.
But John wasn't going to go out that easily. He launched himself towards Dean and hurled him into one of the Turnbuckles, Dean letting out a hiss of pain as his back hit the metal post and even though it was padded still hurt. The match got brutal and more brutal by the minute, even to the point where Amber really badly wanted to head backstage and wait it out their but knew she couldn't. She knew she couldn't just leave not when this was her future, her fate, and that these three men were fighting for it, when in all honesty they could just have not cared.
They could have said you know what no one cares what happens to you go and get stuck with the shield. But nope here they were both having worked and wrestled their asses off as best they could. That's when it happened, when the game changed occurred. John had this match in the bag, he really did he had knocked Dean down and after he had stood, John had pulled him into one of his finishers, The one where he lifts his opponent onto his back and then drops them when everything went wrong.
Who knows how Dean did it but he slipped out of the hold and in one quick and simple move wrapped his arm around John Neck and dropped him, dropped him hard and making John hit his face onto the mat pulling his own finisher. Amber knew John was knocked out the minute his body fell onto the mat by the way he just fell like a rag doll. Dean wasted no time and flipped him over before going in for the pin.
"1," She stared at the John praying, wishing that he would get up, that he was just pulling a prank like he always did to his fans.
"2," She was hitting the Mat know trying to awaken John, Randy and Sheamus couldn't do anything but yell at him knowing that if they even got disqualified they would still lose. Dean was smiling as he watched Amber and let out a full evil and cold laugh the minute the referee said,
"3." The referee stood and motioned for the bell to be rung which it did and no one said anything, even the audience who had been loud through the whole thing stayed silent never having thought that it would end this way. Amber slipped into the ring wanting to go make sure that John was okay, But Dean stood instantly and yanked her back roughly.
"Don't go near him." He growled making Amber Flinch as he looked down at her with his eyes.
"I need to-"
"You don't need to do anything, I'm in charge of you, you have to follow my rules, you understand? Now I want you to go with Seth and go to the Hotel. Got it?" Amber wanted to protest wanted to tell him everything that was currently running through her mind but she couldn't, and as she turned to see Randy and Sheamus they knew just as much as she did that she was right. She was completely hopeless. She looked at John who wasn't even stirring and slid out of the ring looking down at the ground as she walked side by side with Seth.
Passing Natalya, Cody, and Kaitlyn without even glancing at them. She could really use that ice cream that they had promised her, because she knew that not only would tonight suck but as long as she would be under their control she had to be the obedient dog and follow every order they gave her. She wished it wasn't that way but there was nothing she could do, they had won fair and square and know she just had to deal with it.
