It was Monday and I was getting a taxi from the airport. I was supposed to come back last week Tuesday, but the doctor wanted me to rest my leg some more. When I was in the car; I texted Aj that I landed safely and that I'm on the way to the hotel. I leaned back in my seat and tried to relax. I was finally out of my house. I went to Manhattan to shop, but it's only so fun when you're by yourself. So the only option was to go to the gym, but I could only stay there for so long.

"Ma'am, we're here."

I looked up and pay him, "Thank you." I got with my luggage and walked to the front desk in the lobby. Aj was right next to the elevator, smiling at me.

"Hey, Adri!" Aj screamed as she ran to me.

"Hi, Aj." She gave me a big hug.

"I missed you so much. I was bored backstage."

"I missed you, too."

"How about we drop off your things and find Roman and Dean?"

I nodded and followed her to our room. We chatted about what happened while I was gone. And then we laughed about random things. We dropped of my things and headed to the room. When we knocked, Roman opened with a smile.

"Hey, Adri."

"Hi Roman." I gave him a hug and we went inside. I saw Dean lying down on the couch watching TV. I jumped and sat on his stomach, "Hi Dean!"

He just grunted at the impact and glared at me. I smiled and hit his chest.

"Oh gosh, she's back. Just when I was relaxing." He smirked and I rolled my eyes.

"You know you missed me."

He pulled me down and hugged me, "yea, yea, whatever."

My body was tensed and I got up from the hug.

April walked to us, "Adri, do you want to go swimming with us and some people from the company?"

I shook my head and stood up, "I think I'll pass. I am pretty tired." I felt bad for lying to her, but I had to.

"Oh, ok. We'll leave you alone then."

"I'll see you guys later." I waved and went back to my bed in our room.

I heard some people outside the door talking excitedly about the pool and that just made me kinda depressed. After a few minutes of silence, I sighed and went to the bathroom. I took off my shirt and yoga pants and looked at myself in the full length mirror. I looked everywhere on my body. Before I knew it, tears were falling and I curled up on the bathroom floor. My body shook violently and my chest was heavy.

"Adri? Adrianna?" I heard April's voice, "Are you alright?"

I cleared my throat, "Umm, yea. I'm ok."

I got up and put on my clothes. I washed my face and took a deep breath before opening the bathroom door. I saw her sitting on my bed with a worried expression. I didn't make eye contact as I grabbed my phone and looked at the time. Apparently, I was in there for 3 hours. It was almost time to leave to go to the arena.

"Are you sure you're alright? You look like you've been crying." I just nodded and walked to my bags, "Well I'm gonna go and take a shower."

She went inside the bathroom and I got my bag ready and waited for April. When she got out, we left and walked to the car where we saw Dean and Roman.

"You ok, Adri?" Roman asked, putting his large hand on my shoulder.

"Yea, why?"

"You look like you were crying."

April nodded in agreement, "I said that earlier."

I just put my bag in the trunk and slid in the backseat. I plugged my ear buds in my ears and zoned the real world out. April sat next to me and stared. I didn't look at her. I felt someone tap my leg and I looked up and saw Dean looking at me. I stopped my music.

He opened his mouth, "Me, Roman, and Cena have a 6-man tag team tonight."

"Against who?"

"Kane, Orton, and Seth. We were wondering if you wanted to come down to the ring with us."

"Sure. I don't have an actual match tonight anyways." He nodded.

We got to the arena and April and I got dressed in the locker room. I left her so she could get prepared with her tag team match. This time I brought my bag with me to Dean and Roman's locker room. I opened the door and sat on the couch. I looked at them (who were both shirtless).

Dean smiled at me, "Like what you see, sweetheart?"

"Eh, it's alright." He threw a shirt at me and I laughed. Roman sat next to me, "Did your hair get longer?"

"Yea, why?"

I ran my fingers through his hair, "Because it's pretty. You very pretty hair Mr. Anoa'i"

"Well you have very crazy hair Ms. Lopez." Roman looked at the screen to see Cena talking about Battleground. Roman got up, "I'm gonna go to the ring and talk to him. Dean, make sure Adri doesn't leave your sight."

Dean gave him a confused look, "Why do I have to watch over her?"

I stood up, "Yea, I'm not a baby. I don't need a babysitter."

Roman sighed and opened the door, "Don't forget who's after all of us. And even though Seth won't hurt his little sister; the rest of the authority wouldn't mind getting their hands on her."

"But I can take care of myself." I said.

"Yea, you said that last time but Randy was able to corner you." Roman walked out the door, "Just don't let her out of your sight, Dean."

I heard a sigh and Dean sat next to me, "You wanna walk with me to do my segment?"

I nodded and followed him outside the locker room. After what seems like forever, we saw the cameramen setting up. He stood in a place and I stood next to him. Roman and Cena were talking and you can feel the tension in the ring.

Dean spoke up, "Guys," both men looked up at the large screen, "I understand the whole testosterone driven competitiveness that's going on right now; but enough of this 'prettiest girl at the dance' argument routine you got going on. Cause we ain't dancing tonight, boys! We're fighting! We got a 6-man tag. It's Kane, Randy Orton, and Triple H's little bad boy: Seth Rollins. Now the Authority always has a plan, but tonight, I have my own. It's called 'Operation Screw the Authority' and it starts when you two stop arguing, we get together, and we kick their asses!"

All of a sudden, you could feel the tension where we were standing. It's like it traveled from the ring to here. I looked to my side and saw Orton. When I turned my head, I saw Seth behind us. That's when Dean threw the first punch to Kane and Randy threw me to the floor. I was going to get back up and try to help out, but that's when I saw 3 pairs of legs right in front of me. When I looked up, I saw Alicia, Rosa, and Cameron. Rosa pulled me up by my hair and Cameron repeatedly hit my mid section with a chair. When they were done with that, Rosa threw me over a table. I gritted my teeth when my back hit the concrete floor.

Ignoring the pain, I got up on the table and dived down on all three of them. I grabbed one of the pipes that were there and started hitting them. When I was done, I was going to go over and attack Randy, but Alicia hit me and then she suddenly backed off after kicking me in the stomach. I was leaning on the wall to help me stand up. Randy, Kane, and Seth were leaving and I looked at Dean. He was barely conscious when I limped over to him. The paramedics and trainers came and checked on him.

"We have to bring him to a hospital." Mike (the trainer) told me. I nodded as they loaded him up on the stretcher. Mike stopped me from following and brought me to the office so he could see what damage has been done. He brought an ice pack, "So once again, all you have is bruises. Especially on your stomach. So I want you to stay here and ice it. And I actually mean it, Adrianna. Stay here!" I nodded and put the ice pack on my stomach while he went into another room. I was watching the Sheamus v. Miz match when Roman and Cena walked through the door.

Roman ruffled my hair, "You alright, Adri?"

I smiled, "Just a little sore, but I'll survive."

Cena walked closer and put his hand on my shoulder, "Ah, so I finally get to meet the famous Adri. I'm glad you're ok."

I nodded and Roman looked around, "Where's Dean?"

"He's on the way to the hospital right now. So what are you going to do now?"

Cena took off his hat and rubbed his head, "Just continue to win."

"I think you guys could beat their asses. Just try to stay on the same page. Now get out so I could rest for a few minutes." They said their goodbyes and left. I watched the rest of the show in peace and quiet.

(Line Break)

It was later in the night and it was almost time for the main event and I was walking with Roman. Even though my body still hurts, I'm still gonna support them. I followed Roman out into the crowd and the audience went wild. They really love him. He easily crossed the barricade and I hopped over it. While Roman was hyping up the crowd, I went inside the ring and Ric Flair smiled and give me a hug. He shook Roman's hand and left to walk up the ramp. That's when Cena walked out and had a little moment with him. Cena walked down the ramp and slid in the ring, doing his normal entrance. I went out and stood by ringside. Seth Rollins came out with his briefcase; followed by Orton. Then Kane came out and when he went in the ring, I flinched a little at the fire.

The bell rang and the match began. It was Cena against Seth first. But then Seth soon tagged Orton in. and after it looked like Cena was getting the upper hand, Orton tagged in Kane. When Cena was cornered in our side, Roman tagged himself in. now he was getting the upper hand. When he was distracted from hitting Orton off the apron; Kane ran and tackled him. Seth tagged in and attacked Roman. After a little bit, Kane was tagged back in. I climbed and balanced on the barricade, hyping up the crowd to chant Roman's name. Roman got some momentum and tackled Kane. Both were down and the crowd went wild.

He tagged Cena and Kane tagged Seth. But the Kane distracted Cena, which allowed Seth to kick his face. Seth dragged him to the corner and Orton tagged himself in to do a quick 2-on-1 attack. Orton was the one with the upper hand. He then tagged Kane. Roman looked ready to be tagged in. but Kane was still dominate at the moment. Cena tried to pick Kane up for the AA, but he crumbled under the weight. Kane dragged him and Seth was tagged in. I was worried that Cena won't have enough strength to tag Roman. Seth had Cena in a sleeper hold and continued to dominate Cena. Cena finally used all his strength to jump up and tagged Roman as Seth tagged Randy. Roman was dominate, even doing a superman kick to Orton's face. He stopped Kane from attacking him and he pushed Seth over the rope. All those distractions allowed Randy to attack him. But then Roman did a Samoan drop to Randy. Then Kane appeared again and both he and Randy started to attack Roman, causing a disqualification. Then Cena slid into the ring and fought Randy. Cena ducked just in time for Kane to accidentally punch Randy and to punch Kane repeatedly. He went for the AA on Kane, but Kane pushed him into Roman, who was in the middle of giving a spear to Randy. Then when Roman was looking at what he accidently done, Kane kicked his face.

There were bodies everywhere in the ring. Kane turned slowly to me and my whole body just tensed up. He turned back around and Orton quickly put him in a RKO. But then he slid out the ring and walked up to me. He grabbed my arm and smirked at me. He tried to drag me but I kept pulling my arm away. He pulled my arm harder and I punched him in the jaw. He let go of my arm to touch the spot where I punched him and I saw anger in his eyes. I started running around ringside, Randy not too far behind me. I saw Roman running towards us and I quickly ducked under his arms and he gave a spear to Orton. We both climbed into the ring and I raised his hand in the air. I put it down and he climbed the turnbuckle and I climbed the second middle rope. The crowd was cheering loudly and we walked back stage.

"You alright, Baby Girl?" Roman said as he put his arm around me.

I laughed and nodded, "I'm alright. I think I should be asking you if you're ok."

"I'm sore, that's all." We went in the locker room and I looked at my phone.

"Dean said that he's at the hotel and that he's ok. And Aj said she's gonna get a ride with Paige to the hotel."

He was going through his bag, "Ok, how about we get dressed and then leave?"

I nodded, "Can we grab food on the way to the hotel? I'm hungry."

He made a sound and went to the bathroom to change. I took out my clothes and went in the bathroom as soon as he was done. After, we got our bags and went to the car. I actually sat in the front this time.

"Wow, Adrianna Lopez is actually sitting in the front this time?"

I punched his arm and he just smiled. When he started driving, I looked at him, "Thanks for saving my ass from Orton again."

"No problem. You're like family to me. I won't let anyone harm you."

I nodded and thought about what he just said, "You won't let anyone hurt me?"

"I'll make sure that no one touches you?" I was deep in thought when he looked at me, "Why?"

"Oh, nothing!" I snapped out of it and smiled.

"You sure about that?"

"I'm sure. I'm just a little tired. That's all."

He nodded and smirked, "Well we're almost at the hotel. So you can get some rest soon."

We got something to eat and arrived to the hotel.

"Umm, I think I'm gonna go straight to bed. Night, and tell Dean I said the same thing."

He nodded and gave me a hug as my body tensed, "Ok, good night Adri."

I went inside the room and sighed. The night was finally over. I changed into my pajama pants and kept on my shirt from today. I heard a knock on the door and I opened it. I was shocked to see Dean there.

He smirked, "So are you just gonna stand here; or are you going to let me in?"

I quickly moved to the side and closed the door. He made himself comfortable on my bed, "Not to be rude or anything; but what are you doing here?"

"What? I can't spend some time with you?" I sat down next to him and just stared, "Fine, I just wanted to check up on you. Make sure you were alright."

"Why wouldn't I be?"

"Because I saw the show. I saw Randy grabbed you."

"Oh, that was nothing. Roman helped me."

"Yea but I saw something, Adrianna."

I smiled, "Well of course you did, Dean. That's why you have eyes."

"I'm being serious. I saw fear in your eyes. That wasn't there when you first came to the company. And I see it outside the ring too. When I gave you a hug earlier, you tensed up and pulled away quickly. Before, you would love to give people hugs."

I cursed underneath my breath at him being so observant, "Yea, well everyone changes."

He was staring at me for a few moments before he said, "Roll up your sleeves."

I raised my eyebrows, "Why should I?"

"Just do it."

"Who are you? Nike?" he glared at me and I gave in. I slowly rolled up my sleeves and looked away. I couldn't look at my arms or Dean's face.

"Some of these are recent. I knew it."

"How did you know?"

"Cause you were always itching at your arms." I nodded and just sighed, "Why would you do that to yourself?"

"It's complicated, Dean. And I'm not ready to tell anyone. Especially someone I only met a few months ago."

He sighed and ran his fingers through his messy hair, "Fine then. But I'm here when you're ready to tell me."

I smiled and pinched his cheeks, "Awe, I guess Mr. Good does have a heart."

He pushed my hands away and rolled his eyes, "Yea, yea. Just don't tell anyone. I think it's time for bed."

"Are you going to stay here or leave?"

He yawned and made himself comfortable, "I think I'm gonna stay here."

I looked around, "But you're staying in my bed."

"We're both adults. We can sleep in the same bed. Come here." He pulled me down next to him and my head rested on his chest, "And just relax. I won't hurt you."

I tried to relax and he hugged me tighter and kissed my forehead. I closed my eyes and sleep overtook me.

(Line Break)

I woke up and instantly felt something around me. I looked up to see Dean still sleeping. I didn't feel like moving, so I just kept looking at his face. His hair was in his face so I pushed it away. He stirred and he opened his eyes. We made eye contact and he smiled at me.

I smiled back, "Awe, good morning sunshine."

He grumbled and glared at me, "Don't call me that. And I learned something while you were sleeping."

"And that is?"

He smiled, "One, you're really warm. And two, you're a cuddlier."

We both looked down and saw that I was hugging him back this whole time.

I got up and stretched, "Whatever, we should get breakfast."

He ran his hand through his hair, "We should; or we can be lazy today and you can come back here. You're my source of warmth."

"You have to get up at some point."

"No I don't. We're not needed tonight." I cursed at the fact that he was right. It's like he knew what I was thinking and opened his arms. I went back into bed and he wrapped his arm around my body. He smiled then I flinched when his hand came into contact with my side that was currently exposed.

"Why the hell is your hand so cold?"

"I don't know. But that's why I need your warmth." I looked up again at him and I blushed when I realized how close our faces were. His phone beeped and he looked at it, "Roman wants to know if we wanted to watch a movie with him and Aj."

"Sure." I watched him type on his phone and then put it away. I got up from the bed.

"Why are you getting up?"

I ruffled his hair, "Because I want to take a shower."

"Can I join? We could save water."

I rolled my eyes and grabbed my clothes, "No. you can either stay here or get out of my room. But you're not joining me in the shower."

He yelled as I went into the bathroom, "Save the fishes!"

I closed the door and did my hygiene routine. When I was done, I wore jean shorts, a black vest, and black flats. I put my hair into a messy bun and walked out the bathroom. I slipped on a light sweater and jumped on the bed where Dean was looking on his phone.

I took off my flats to stand up and jump on the bed. I continued jumping until he finally noticed me, "Dean, I'm done."

He pulled me down by the waist, "I see that. Then let's go."

I put on my flats and got my room key and phone before leaving with Dean. We got to the room and Dean opened the door. Aj ran and hugged me.

I hugged her back, "Hey, Aj. So what movie are we watching?"

Roman showed the disk, "We're gonna watch World War Z. April's choice."

I nodded and sat on the bed with April as Roman and Dean sat on the other. The movie seemed to finish quickly. While they were talking about the movie, my phone beeped. I looked at the text message and I instantly felt sick. I didn't even finish reading the text before I felt dizzy.

Roman looked at me, "You ok, Adrianna? You look kinda sick."

I faked a smile, "I'm ok. I just need some fresh air."

I sprinted out of the room and didn't stop until I was outside the hotel. I slowed down to a walking pace and stopped when I was a few blocks away. I leaned on the building and breathe heavily. I counted in my head and my breathing was going back normal. I slid on the wall and rested my head on my arms. Tears were falling down my face. When I felt like I had enough strength, I got up and walked back to the hotel. I furiously wiped my face, making sure there were no tears on my face. When I got back to the hotel, Aj was pacing frantically.

She spotted and ran to me, "Oh my gosh, Adrianna Lopez, where have you been? We were worried sick. We thought you were going to be gone for like an hour at most. But you were gone for 4 hours. We thought something had happen."

"It's ok, April. I'm here and unharmed."

"Well you should go upstairs. Roman is keeping Dean in the room. We didn't want Dean to panic too much."

I nodded and both of us went upstairs silently. I followed her into the room and both guys looked at me. I couldn't help but look to the floor. I was shocked when Dean engulfed me into a hug.

Roman sighed, "I'm not gonna say too much because I'm pretty sure Aj made you feel guilty in the lobby. But you shouldn't do that, Adrianna. We were worried." I looked at him and nodded, "Whatever happened, you looked emotionally drained. Maybe you should get some rest."

Dean pulled my arm and we went to my room. When we got there, I laid down on the bed and Dean sat next to me.

"Who is he?"

I sat up, "What?"

"Who's 'Ramon'?"

I looked down, "Umm. He's an ex."

"And he sent you this?"

My eyes widened, "You read it?"

"Yea."

"Why would you do that?"

"Because you were reading this when you ran out the room and left it on the bed. So now answer this: What does he mean by all of this?"

I ran my hand over my face, "Fine, but don't tell anyone." He nodded, "So I had a boyfriend in high school, Ramon. He was like the bad boy of the school. My parents didn't like him at all. So my mom was like; you either break up with him or you're gonna be kicked out the house. I chose to stay with him. Note that I'm about 17 or 18 at the time. I didn't care about what was going to happen. He was like the best thing that happened to me then. Everything about my life was shitty. So we move after high school to Florida. That's when everything changed. He never allowed me to talk to anyone while we were there. That was just the start of it. He became more controlling. And fast forward years later. I ended up with new bruises every night. I was an alcoholic until I decided to go to rehab. I wanted to see my family; maybe they could've helped me. But he didn't allow me to contact them. And that's only a part of it, but I doubt you wanna hear all of this."

He put down the phone and he whipped the tears on my cheeks. He gave me a hug, "I'm sorry, Adrianna. I won't tell anyone."

He didn't let go as we both laid down on the bed. I moved a little closer so that my head was on his chest. One of his hand was rubbing my back. It was actually soothing.

(Line Break)

I opened my eyes and stretched. I didn't even know when I fell asleep. I got up and realized that I was the only person in the room. I saw a note and read it.

Went to the gym with Roman and Kofi. Call if you need anything or go to Aj. See you later.

-Dean

I got up and went to the fridge. There was a salad I put in there yesterday and a water. I got it, sat on the bed, and turned on the TV to Family Guy. I waited for hours for him to get back but he didn't. Maybe he's gonna stay in his actual room. With that thought, I got ready for bed.

(Another Line Break. Sorry for the crappy middle part)

Everyone was backstage. The ride to the arena was awkward. Roman was acting like things are normal. But I felt like something was up. Yesterday me and Dean were really close; and now he's paying me no mind at all. I was sitting in my ring gear next to April. People were still running around trying to get ready for the Smackdown taping.

Dean was walking towards us when Eva suddenly appeared in front of him with a seductive smile and said, "Oh, Dean, last night was fun. We should do that again sometime."

He smiled as she walked away, "Hey, Adri. I'm going down to the ring at the beginning of the show. Wanna come with since Roman wants me to watch you?"

I shrugged, "Sure. Why not?"

He nodded and walked off somewhere. My head was swirling with emotions. So he was with Eva last night. I won't admit it out loud, but I was kinda jealous. But why would I be? I mean, we're not dating or anything. We're just friends. And this is Dean we're talking about. He was all about going to clubs and banging random chicks. So I should expect it. But I still don't get why I feel this way?

"Are you listening?" April snapped her fingers in front of my face.

"Sorry, what?"

"You should get to the gorilla now if you want to walk out with Dean." I muttered a quick thanks and jogged to where he was just in time to walk out of the curtains. We both walked out as they showed what happened on Monday.

I grabbed the mic, "Before we get to what Dean wants to say; I want to say a little something. Alicia, I know that you know what you're doing. You know that working with Layla still didn't accomplished you're sugar daddy's goal to move me away from Dean. So you left her with Layla to get a new little crew. And you know that I could beat you, Rosa, and Cameron. But surprise attacking me? Now that's just cold. You three better watch your backs. I'm coming for you." The crowd cheered as I gave Dean the mic.

He brought it to his lips, "All I heard for the last two years was 'Seth is the smart one' 'Seth is the architect of The Shield' 'Look at the big brain on Seth'. And Seth is smart. Seth is smart enough to know that he couldn't beat me down by himself on Monday Night, so he had his buddies Randy Orton and Kane; two more authority goons, help him out. And so they put me in the hospital, but if you thought for one second that your little 3-on-1 attack was gonna keep me from being here tonight; more importantly keep me from destroying you Sunday at Battleground; well then genius you're not as smart as you think you are. So I'll ask you this one more time: is that all you got? Is that all the authority got? That's not a rhetorical question. I plan to find out. So let's not wait till Sunday. Get out here and let's do this right now!" the crowd cheered.

We heard a laugh and Seth's face appeared on the Titon-tron, "Ambrose, Ambrose, Ambrose. God, you just don't get it do you? You're so talented, but you just can't seem to figure it out. Without me you are nothing. Without me you are just some babbling, out of control, lunatic, destined for an insane asylum. I'll give you this, you got guts, but clearly after Monday you got more guts than brains. I mean think about it, the first time ever: Shield versus Shield. Dean Ambrose versus Seth Rollins. That is a huge box office draw. And there is nothing, nothing in this world I would love more than to come down to that ring, and curb stomp your face into the mat again. But unfortunately I can't do that. Tweaked my knee on Monday and I'm not medically cleared. So sorry man, it's just not gonna happen tonight. I apologize; can't do it."

Dean raised the mic to his mouth again, "Well it looks to me, like you're scared. And you should be scared. I'd be scared to, but it's time to face your fears. Make daddy proud; come out here and take your beating like a man!"

Seth chuckled, "Oh, real clever. You go back to the daddy line. You think you're so tough, Ambrose. All these tough words for such a tough guy. Like you always got something to prove. But right now, I want to say hi to my baby sister. Hi Adri. I see that you're still hanging out with that little boyfriend of yours."

I took the mic, "He's not my boyfriend. Since I'm in this drama, Roman wants to make sure that your friends aren't going to attack me. I still don't see why I need protection. I'm not afraid of you, Orton, or Kane. Hell, I'll even fight them if I have to."

"Awe, so adorable. The only reason you're not hurt right now is because you're family, Adri. But you better watch it. I can easily make you the target of Orton and Kane. All you'll be known to me as the little girl who got in the way. And Dean, I'll give you a chance tonight to prove how tough you are cause I just talked to Triple H. and he wanted me to let you know that tonight, you got a match. Not against me, but against him."

The camera moved to show that it was Kane next to him. Kane did the hand movement and the turnbuckles shot out fire. Dean instantly pulled me behind him and you can hear Seth's laughter in the background. When the fire stopped and the lights returned to normal, me and Dean walked backstage.

"So I guess I have a match against Kane." Dean ran his hand through his hair.

"I wanna come with you." He looked at me like I suddenly grew two heads.

"You sure you wanna be near the ring? It gets dangerous."

"I'm sure. Plus I wanna get my hands on any of them."

He smiled and nodded. The rest of the night was both of us warming up for the main event and Dean staring at me weirdly when I was doing a split on the wall.

"What are you looking at, Ambrose?"

"How can you do all of that?"

"Some of us are just more flexible than others." I looked up at him and smiled as I switched legs.

"Hmm, nice ass, Lopez."

I finished and got up to jump on the spot. When I was done, I playfully shoved him. We got ready when it was time for the main event.

We walked out to the ring together and the crowd cheered. Once we got into the ring, he gave my his sweater to hold. When Kane came out, Dean told me to get out the ring and for once I listened. Kane went inside the ring and did his little entrance. I always flinched when the flames came out of the ring. But Dean wasted little to no time attacking Kane out the ring. When he was going to dive, Kane hit his bad shoulder, causing Dean to stumble back and fall. The bell rang and Kane attacked Dean. Whenever Dean landed on the mat, he hurts his shoulder. Kane had the upper hand for a while. Dean still had enough strength to kick out of pins. But Kane kept aiming his hits to Dean's shoulder.

All of a sudden, Dean got the upper hand for a little. He even went to the top rope to deliver a drop kick to Kane. Both men were in pain and on the floor. When they both stood, Kane grabbed his neck, going for a chokeslam, but Dean was able to jump out of it. Then he pulled down the top rope just as Kane was running at him, causing Kane to fall to ringside. I was glad that I was nowhere near the place Kane had fallen to. Dean ran and jumped over the top rope to tackle Kane. Even I winced at the impact of Dean's shoulder to the floor.

Dean was trying to pull Kane to the ring, but Kane soon hit him and then push him shoulder first into the steel steps. Kane took off the top part of the steps and he used the steps to attack Dean. He was going to tombstone him into the steps, but Dean wiggled out and pushed Kane to the steel post. Then Seth ran down the ramp and used his briefcase to hit Dean on his head. The bell rang for disqualification. He continued to attack Dean and then pushed him into the ring. Both Kane and Seth worked together to put the steel steps in the ring and they slid in with it.

Dean jumped Seth but got pulled off by Kane. I used the moment to slide into the ring, jump off the steps, and attack Seth. I had a good grip on him as I punched him repeatedly until Kane pulled me off. He put his large hand around my throat and I felt myself being lifted in the air and then I hit the mat. The impact made all the air I once had in my body disappear. I looked carefully to my side and saw Dean lying there. Kane lifted me up once again and twisted the ropes around my arms so that I couldn't move. Seth pointed to Dean and then patted the steel steps. Kane pulled him onto the steps and I tried to kick and move free. Seth laughed at my attempt and ran to perform the curb stomp. I closed my eyes. The sound the impact made told me that it had connected. He looked at the both of us, laughed, and then walked away.

Once Seth and Kane were no longer in sight, trainers came to help Dean while officials came and got me untied from the ropes. I refused their help and got out the ring. Once I got my balance, I limped next to Dean, who was being wheeled out to backstage. The crowd cheered loudly as we left ringside.

So now I'm definitely the target of them. And they're not holding back. Oh, how fun.

Not!

Sooooooooooooo that's the end of this chapter. I'm really behind on this story. But I'm not around my laptop a lot because of my family. But I'm not complaining too much. This is the longest chapter so far that I have written. It's 13 pages and 6,100+ words. That's a lot of typing. If you asked me to type this much for school, I wouldn't do it. But this is actually fun. But let me stop talking. If you don't know by now, I always like when you guys review the chapters. Especially all my new readers. Tell me what you think, what you liked about it, what you didn't like about it, any criticism. Anything! So I'll go and start on the next chapter. Bye!
