Amber didn't know how long she had been awake for, how long she had been in bed not even moving. Just staring at the ceiling, watching the fan go in circles at a rapid pace. It could have been one hour, two hours, maybe even five hours, she didn't know. And in all reality she didn't care either, because the longer she procrastinated, the longer she didn't get out of bed, was the longer she could just forget reality, forget the situation she was in. She could forget that she was part of the shield, she could forget that she know had to follow their rules, and she could forget that the man she hated the most in the world had taken away her phone, like she was some teenager who was grounded. Amber growled lowly making sure to not wake up her roommate. She turned onto her left side and stared at the figure that was hidden under a blue blanket his Blonde Brown hair poking out of his home made cocoon.
She was glad that Colby, Seth's real name which he completely despised for some very strange reason, had volunteered himself as her roommate because she honestly couldn't deal with Mr. Silent aka Roman who hadn't spoken a single word until he had introduced himself and even then he had only said 'Roman' before going into silence mode. Plus if she would have been roomed with Dean one of them would have either come out in handcuffs or in a Black Garbage bag. She lay back onto her back and sighed gently really wishing she had her cellphone so she could at least call her sister… Or Natalya or Kaitlyn… Maybe John? Oh John… How was he handling everything? She thought to herself as she bit her lip fiddling with her fingers. Was he okay? Did he get injured really badly? Was he blaming himself for the loss? So many questions ran threw her mind that she could no longer stay in bed she had to do something, had to at least try to get in contact with her sister and John, In that order specifically.
She sat up and after thinking for a few minutes she thought of the only place she could possibly accidentally bump into one of them. The Gym. She didn't know what time it was but by the way that sun was up she knew it had to be at least 6 maybe 7 am. She had to work fast before Seth woke up and figured out her plan. She slowly and quietly walked over to her bag and pulled out a pair of Black Running shorts, A white tank, a pair of socks, her white and black running shoes, and of course one of her hoodies. After changing quickly, yanking on her socks as well as her sneakers, and putting her hair into a ponytail she made her way to the door watching Seth's body for any sort of movement as she opened the door and closing it right behind her. She waited a few minutes before tip toeing across the next door aka Hotel room since it currently inhabited the remainder of the Shield, the remainder of her group know.
After she made her way across she quickly scurried to the elevator hitting the button as she continued watching down the hall, looking at two doors specifically. When the Elevator finally arrived, which had felt like eternity, she hopped inside and pushed the lobby button. She had to find someone with a phone and quick, before either Seth noticed she was missing. She didn't even let the thoughts of what would happen if Dean found out she had left without letting one of them know. When the Elevator opened she got out and looked around noticing that their wasn't that many people out but she still put her hoody up so no one would recognize her as she made her way out the front entrance and walked down the street towards the large gym, and by large she meant that the damn Gym was four floors of workout material, any Gym Rats fantasy.
She pushed open the glass door and was instantly greeted by a very overly excited woman. "Hi their welcome to Steel Cage Gym."
"Hi, Uh Yeah… Thanks." Amber said as she searched the Bottom floor before coming to the conclusion that no one she knew was down here.
"Um, you wouldn't have noticed any wrestlers coming in here have you?" She said calmly the other woman perking up and getting even more excited than she was already, which to Amber seemed to have not even been possible. "Oh yeah a couple of them came in this morning, it was Zack Ryder, Dolph Ziggler, that one crazy chick, AJ, That one cute guy Fandango, Natalya-" "Natalya? What floor did she get on?" "She's on the second floor-"Amber didn't even wait just began running up the marble steps of the gym and arriving at the top in less than five seconds. She searched frantically around for her before spotting the older woman running on the treadmill a sad look on her face as she talked to Eve. Amber made her way over to her and saw Eve spot her and tell Natalya who turned, almost falling as she got off the machine running towards her.
"Oh My God Amber what-"
"Look, I can't talk okay I totally ran out of my hotel room, can I borrow your phone?"
"Yeah, here." She handed her cellphone to Amber. "Go into the girl's locker room it's over there." She pointed at a door and Amber nodded heading over and going inside. The Locker room was huge plus there were a couple of stalls which she entered locking herself inside before putting in her sister's phone number, the number she had memorized since she was a kid. On the third ring her sister answered, "Hello?"
"Mayra It's me-"
"Amber! You had me fucking worried! Why didn't you answer! I called you fifty times and you didn't answer what the hell!"
"Look okay, that stupid asshole Dean toke away my phone."
"He did what! That Mother fucker can't do that!"
"Yes he can he owns me Mayra, I'm under contract he can do anything he wants."
"This is some bullshit! You can't do anything?"
"No, I can't. Unless I quit and I can't do that either, I worked too hard for this so some dumb ass guy just to come around and make all my plans go down the toilet just because he has some issues. I just have to deal with it in the best way I can."
"Then wait how are you calling me?"
"I ran away from my hotel room, and came to find Natalya. When they find out they are going to be pissed."
"I don't get it why?"
"Because Dean told me not to talk to anyone but them, and also that they needed to know where I was twenty four seven, every minute of every day."
"That's creepy."
"No duh, At least I can room with Seth."
"Yeah." She responded.
"Mayra, I need to go okay."
"Amber-"
"I'll call you as soon as I can."
"Be safe, I don't like this guy at all."
"I will." She hung up and she felt better knowing that she had called her sister. Now she could be calm. As she walked out of the stall the door suddenly burst open and standing in the doorway was John. He spotted Amber and ran over to her picking her up and hugging her.
"I am so sorry Amber, I fucked up, he got out of my hold and it all happened so fast, I should have tried harder. If I would have tried harder you wouldn't be there with them, and you'd be here with all of us. You wouldn't have to deal with being their slave and not be able to do anything about it. I am so fucking sorry, Amber." He said as he set her down burying his face in her hair. She leaned against his chest and squeezed him.
"No John it-It's okay. You tried your best that's all I could ask for okay. Don't beat yourself up about it okay? What happened, Happened, there was nothing you could have done to stop it, you passed out and that was it."
"But if I would have gripped him-"
"John." She said seriously. "Stop." He sighed and rubbed his eyes.
"It's because I feel so guilty."
"Don't. you tried your best right?"
"Yeah." He said gently.
"Okay that's it there was nothing else you could have done okay. Now shut up you're annoying me." She said jokingly as he sat down on one of the benches. "How did they let you out of the hotel room anyway?"
"They… Didn't. I snuck out, I had to talk to my sister and well… Get things settled… with you." She said reddening slightly. John smiled his dopey smile, revealing his white toothed smile including his dimples.
"Idiot." She whispered running a hand through his buzzed hair as he pulled her closer to him and wrapped his arms around her waist, laying his head on her abdomen.
"Maybe we can talk to Vince?" He suggested looking up at her, His baby Blue eyes bright. "John… You heard Vince the Contract isn't reversible there is nothing we can do, as I've told myself and my sister. I just have to deal with it until… Until we figure something out."
"It has to be fast though." Added Natalya, making Amber and John look up. "I know." Amber said, Sighing as she ran a hand through her hair. They stayed silent thinking of any possible ideas, solutions for her to get out of this horrible predicament but there wasn't anything.
Then their time ran out as the locker room door was once again opened this time with horrible kick which made the door creak in protest and even threaten to fall off the hinges. Dean stood in the doorway, his nostrils flaring, and his eyes ablaze as he glared at the man who was Hugging Amber. Amber could just make out Seth in the background his eyes averted towards the ground as Roman looked down the hall. "Amber Get over Here" He said through clenched teeth his eyes not moving from John.
"Dean-"
"Now Jimenez!" This caught the younger woman of guard, 'How in the hell did he know her last name?'
"No." She said lifting her head in defiance which made Dean finally ripped his eyes away from John and they landed on her before stalking forward and yanking her arm roughly towards him. Yanking her away from John, his arms falling to his sides,
"Now listen here Jimenez, you listen to me, or I'll tell everyone who your father is." He hissed into her ear. Amber turned looking at him, a shocked and slightly fearful expression on her face. "How the-"
"You don't need to know how I know, I just do, are you really sure you want to disobey me? Now if you don't want anything to happen to John you will go outside and wait for me." She glared at Dean, "Fuck You Ambrose." He just smirked and released her as she walked out of the locker room giving Natalya her phone as she passed, whispering something in her ear, something that involved someone by the name of Mayra. He then turned his attention to the man who was sitting watching Amber as she walked out of the room.
"Now you listen to me Cena, You even take a step near her and there will be consequences you understand?" "I'm not scared of you."
"You may not but she does and if you want her to be Safe and Sound you'll stay away from her. Got It Cena?" John glared at him and watched as Dean walked out of the locker room pulling Amber roughly, Amber turning and looking at John with a pleading but also determined look as she mouthed,
"I'll be fine, and I'll talk to you somehow" as she disappeared down the hall. The minute they stepped into the hallway that was empty, Dean pushed her into the wall causing her to yelp in surprise as well as pain as her head bounced against the wall. Dean pinned her against it his face inches from her face. "Know listen to me, Amber. You won't talk to John or anyone else unless I say you can got it?"
"No I don't." She hissed back glaring at him just as he was. "I'm not going to become you're slave. You cant fucking control-Ah!" She cried out as his hands squeezed her arms tighter. His eyes were dark and clouded as he stared at her.
"Dean, Stop Y-Your hurting me." She whimpered but he didn't budge, his grip tightened even more, to the point where Amber was terrified her eyes tearing up. "Dean-Stop." She cried the first tear slipping down her face, her lip quivering.
"Dean." Roman said, his voice deep. Dean snapped out of his trance his eyes going back to their natural shade and released her, Amber slipping down the wall as she held both of her hands which had dark red marks which were reddening more by the second. Dean looked down at her before he looked away. "Give it to her and that's the only warning I'm giving you."
Dean said as he gave Seth her cell phone before walking down the Hall. Roman looked over at him before following after him. Amber watched them walk away and then looked at Seth who had leaned down and extended his hand.
"Come on Amber." He said picking her up and letting him lean against her. He handed her the cellphone which she toke and wrapped his arm around her shoulder as she looked through it wanting to know what he had done to it. She figured it out when she reached her contacts, she had all the numbers of friends and family.
But Dean had erased the numbers of everyone from the WWE including Celeste, Natalya, Sheamus, Phil, and, Of course, John which sent a weird sense of anger through her but also a sense of question. Why did he not want her to talk to John? And why was he so controlling?
