A few months passed as I walked through the backstage area. I haven't been here for a while because I fractured my leg. It wasn't too bad. I was just upset about what happened while I wasn't here. I saw Roman and waved to him. Dean was talking to someone next to him.
"Hey, Adri. Long time no see." Roman gave me a hug. I turned to Dean.
"Hi, Dean."
"Hi, Adriana, welcome back." He smirked at me.
"Did you know that little Dean here missed you?" Roman said, laughing.
"Awe, did you really?" I laughed with Roman, but Dean looked annoyed. I tried to poke his cheek with my finger, but he swatted it away.
"No, I didn't miss you. I was actually happy that we got some peace and quiet for once."
I mocked hurt, "Is that how you feel Deany?"
"Yes, that's how I feel."
"Here I thought you loved me."
"I really don't love you."
"The lies you tell, Deany." Roman kept laughing. I saw Dean's body tense and I followed his gaze. It was Seth talking to Randy. Me and Randy made slight eye contact and he had a smirk on his face. It was long enough to send a cold shiver down my spine.
I looked at Roman, "So he really did quit The Shield."
Dean started twitching a little, "Yeah, and I want to make sure he regrets it."
Roman patted my back, "Maybe you should speak to him. He is your brother after all."
"I'll do it later. But for now, I want to catch up with two of my favorite boys."
"I have to go and call the wife, but you could catch up with Dean since he missed you so much." Roman smiled and walked off.
"Don't leave me alone with her." He puffed.
"Awe, come on Deany, let's go hang out." I pulled his arm to the locker room.

The Friday Night Smackdown tapping finally started and I was sitting on top of a box with Dean looking at the screen next to me. Seth was already in the ring talking about how he's gonna get the championships because he has the brief case. I just rolled my eyes.
"I'm gonna go out and talk to him. You wanna come with?" Dean asked me.
"I'm gonna give you a few minutes to get your point across." I gave him a smile and he actually smirked back, "Oh my gosh, Deany! Are you actually smiling at me?" I laughed.
He just shook his head and pushed me playfully, "Whatever, Lopez. I'll see you out there."
He left with a mic in hand and I was getting mentally ready. Seth talked to me for like a month when I got injured, but that was it. Dean's music played and he appeared on the screen.
"You're delusional Rollins," he started, "You're talking crazy. You think you're gonna get your hands on those titles? No, not while I'm around. I warned you; no matter where you are, no matter what you do, no matter how much of a plan you and your sugar daddy, Triple H, concoct; I'm gonna be there every time. I mean hey, how did your little championship thing played out for you last Monday?"
They showed the video of Kane hurting Cena and Triple H calling for Seth. Where he tried to hand in the briefcase but he was attacked by Dean.
"Watch that footage. Watch that footage and watch it over and over and over again. Cause that's your life for the next year. Think that briefcase is a blessing? No, that briefcase is a curse cause it's every excuse I need to ruin your life, to ruin your future, and to ruin that precious face of WWE."
Seth smirked, "Yeah? You think I care? You think I care if you show that video over and over and over again? Look, I know you better than anybody. And I know you don't have what it takes to keep that up for a year. You got LUCKY on Monday Night. You can't keep that up for a year. And you can't stop me from cashing in this contract and becoming the next WWE World Heavyweight Champion."
Dean started walking to the ring, "Of course I can. But I think a certain sister of yours wanted to come out and see her dear big brother."
"Seth has a little sister? I wonder who it could be." Michael Cole asked.
My music played and the crowd went wild.
"Adri is his sister?" JBL asked, shocked.
"Hey there, Seth. You know, when I was home, I thought that maybe it wasn't real that you turned your back. That maybe I was just inside the house for too long and I became delusional. Like, my brother wouldn't do that. He loves his brothers way too much. But coming back to the locker room, it looks like it's true. But not only did you sell out, but you're with the authority? I think you got punched a few too many times by now. Maybe that's why." I glared at him.
"Hey, Adri, haven't seen you in a while. I see you're still hanging out with that crazy lunatic and that big, tough, Samoan backstage. Why don't you ditch them and stay with me. Stay with the authority. Together, we could be a powerful set of siblings."
"I see you're still an asshole. And why should I go to you and the authority? So I could be their little bitch like you and Randy? No thank you." I dropped the mic and Dean ran full speed into the ring and pounced on him.
Randy soon came from backstage and ran to the ring. By then I was next to the announce table. Both of them had the upper hand against Dean. Randy soon stopped to stare at me with a smirk. The shivers I had earlier soon returned. But his face suddenly turned into a frown when a certain music played. He turned to attack Roman who had just slide into the ring. It almost seemed as if Roman wasn't gonna win against them when he got up punching him.
Seth rolled out of the ring and faced me. He stuck his hand out and I just stared at it. The crowd was yelling in excitement and for me not to take his hand. I looked up at him and punched him in his face. Randy pulled him to the ramp and Triple H came out to his music.
He brought the mic to his lips, "Alright, I think you guys made your point. So now let me make my point. And my point is the only one that matters." I rolled my eyes as he continues, "Dean Ambrose, first you want a fight? Well you will get a fight when you face The Viper, Randy Orton. And Roman, since you like to stick your nose in everybody's business, if you interfere tonight, then you are out of the Fatal Four way at the Battleground PPV." I slid in the ring and stood next to the boys. Triple H smiled at me, "And last but not least, Adri. You shouldn't be focusing on Seth. Oh no, you're main concern is the match you have tonight against Ms. Alicia Fox and Ms. Layla in a handicap tag team match. Enjoy!"
Him, Seth, and Randy walked backstage as I growled. That was the equivalent of a teacher giving you a huge project that's due in a few days and they say enjoy. He keeps getting me mad.
(Line Break)
I was in the locker room with Dean and Roman, changed into my ring gear. Roman was watching the screen and Dean was pacing. I was in a corner stretching, when there was a knock on the door. Roman got up to answer it.
"Adri, Kofi wants to talk to you."
I got up and walked to the door, "Ok, Roman, tell Deany to stop pacing or he might create a hole."
Roman didn't even have a chance to say anything; we heard a, "Shut up, Lopez." I laughed and walked out the door. I barely closed the door behind me before I jumped into Kofi's arms.
"I missed you, Adri"
"I missed you too." He put me down.
"So, I had to wait months to find out that your brother was Seth?"
"Yeah, he's my older, annoying, brother."
"Then enough about him, what about tonight?"
I let out a puff of air, "I really don't think it's fair, but it's Triple H we're talking about. But I'm gonna go out there and kick some ass."
He smiled and patted my head, "There's the confident Adri I know and love."
"She never left, Kofi." He continued to pat my head.
"I like your hair." I did change it a little. Instead of just purple and blue randomly on my head, most of my hair was blue with my side bang being purple.
"Thanks. It even grew a little."
"I should go soon, let you get ready for the match. Bye." He hugged me and walked away.
"Hey, Adri, can you get Roman out here so I could interview him please? And I want to talk to you later in the show."
"OK. Roman, get your butt out here!" I yelled into the room. He came out and glared at me and I quickly ran into the room. I jumped on the couch and watched Dean watching the screen. I was on my phone when I was suddenly picked up. I yelped as I realized I was upside down. I looked up, down, whatever, and saw Roman holding me by my legs.
"Let me down, let me down."
"No, not until you say sorry for yelling."
"I hate you soo much right now." I yelled.
"I don't believe that. Dean, get her." Dean suddenly got up and moved closer to me.
"Dean, help me!" I yelled to him. He smirked to me and put his fingers on my sides.
"Mm, I think I'm good." He started tickling me and I squirmed in Roman's arms.
"Ok, ok, let me down first." He turned me over so I could stand on my feet. I was gonna run for it, but Roman still had his hand on my sleeve. Not wanting any of my arms to show, I quickly tried to pull my hand away, "I'm sorry, now let me go." He did and he sat down on the couch. I continued to stretch in my corner. I looked up and I saw Dean staring at me.
"May I help you, Good?" he shook his head and walked to the couch, "Well, I'm gonna go to the gorilla. Wish me luck." They grunted and I walked out of the room. I skipped in my spot for a few seconds and continued walking to the curtain. My music began to play and I ran through the curtains.
The crowd was going wild already. I was in game mode as I slid into the ring. Alicia and Layla were already there. All three of us were in a fighting stance. As soon as the bell rang, both of them ran and attacked me. I was already cornered and it wasn't even twenty seconds. The official finally got some order to put one of them outside. I just got to my feet when Layla came over and slapped me. I glared at her and there was a flash of fear in her eyes.
She tried to run to tag Alicia, but I caught her in a running bulldog. I dragged her so she could stand up and threw punches after punches to her head. She suddenly blocked my arm to punch me in the face. She used the moment to run to Alicia. I caught her feet and pulled her even though she was still hanging on to the rope. I kicked her gut and dropped her to the mat. But then Alicia ran in and clotheslines me. Still in shock, it took me a little bit to get back up to my feet. I was then brought back down by a kick to my face. She grabbed my hair and pulled me up to push me through the ropes.
My head was the first thing to hit the floor and I had to stay there for a little. Layla was running towards me but I pushed her past me and she was knocked out by going head first into the steel pole. I moved kinda slowly to get to the ring. I used all the power that was left to run to her. I did a battle cry as I performed a Hurricanrana on Alicia. I pinned her for the three count and the ref raised my hand.
"And your winner by pin fall, Adri!"
The crowd was cheering until I felt a blow to the back of my head. I fell to the mat as both Alicia and Layla stomped on me. I had no more strength in my body so all I could do was try and protect myself. It seemed like forever until the officials pushed them away. My body was in pain. One official helped me get out of the ring and to see the trainer.
"Hey, Adriana. Just set her down here." They helped me climb to the table. He was examining me and I was watching Dean on the screen. The trainer looked at me and smiled, "Well the good news is that it's only bruising. The bad news is that you're not gonna look too pretty tomorrow. So you could stay here and I'll give you an ice pack for your head." He gave me one and went into the office. I slowly but surely made my way of the table and walked to the locker room Roman and Dean was staying in. I wanted to try and get my stuff together so that I could leave and go to my bed. Roman had my bag in his hand and gave it to me.
"I'm gonna go check on Dean. Go change and we can leave." He patted my head and left me to go to the girl's bathroom. I changed into a purple long sleeve shirt, black shorts, and black combat boots. I let my hair down and threw away the now melted ice pack as I left the bathroom.
"Leave it to you to take long in the bathroom." Dean said with a pain smirk. He was holding his shoulder.
"I'm guessing your shoulder hurts?"
"No shit, Sherlock."
"Well someone's in a pissy mood. Where's Roman?"
"He went for the car. And I don't think you're gonna be in a good mood once you see your face in the morning."
"So I've been told." I really wasn't excited to look at my face tomorrow. I frowned and he chuckled at me.
"Awe, don't be so sad, you're gonna look ten times more attractive."I punched him in the side and limped away. He jogged up and put his good arm around me. I grumbled and he just smirked in response. We walked out the door and saw Roman leaning against the car.
"It looks like Dean's happy he got his girl back." Dean instantly let go of me and put our things in the trunk. I climbed into the back seat of the car and put my head against the window. Soon enough, we were off to the hotel. I sighed at the fact I'm staying in the same room as Dean and Roman because the hotel was full.
"Everything alright, Adri?" Roman asked.
"She's upset on the bruises on her face." Dean chuckled.
"Whatever, Dean. I'm going to sleep." I shifted and was dozing already.
"But we're already here. You have to get up." Roman said. I looked up and I groaned.
As soon as we got into the hotel room I went straight for the bed. Roman had the room next to us. There were two; twin-sized beds and I randomly chose one. I heard the door closed and I got up to change into my pajama pants in the bathroom. I also brushed my teeth and put my hair into a bun. When I went back into the room, dean was sitting on the other bed, flipping through the channels. I dived under the covers to my bed and looked at the TV screen.
"Adriana, are you still awake?" he asked. I nodded and saw him stare at me. The only light in the room was the one coming from the TV. "Can I ask you a question?"
I giggled and said, "You just did."
"I'm being serious."
"Go ahead."
"Why do you always wear long sleeves?" I got a bit uncomfortable.
"Just because I like wearing long sleeve. Is there a problem?"
"You and I both know that's bull." He got up and sat right in front of me.
"No it's not. I'm telling the truth!" he just stared at me and grabbed my arm. I jumped as he pulled my sleeve up. It revealed a bunch of scar marks going up my arm. Some were as recent as late last year, and some were fading now because they were old. I couldn't even look at my own skin. But he kept staring at it. Almost like if he was thinking about something.
I cleared my throat, "Umm, I think that's enough looking. You should go to bed; we have a long day of travel tomorrow." He nodded and mumbled a goodnight. And even though I tried to fall asleep, I couldn't help but think about what Dean just saw. And I thought it was weird that I didn't do anything. Usually I move away so people wouldn't see. But this time I allowed him to see some of the scars. Ugh, guess I'm getting only a little bit of sleep.
