Nicky set her alarm for every three hours so she could wake Dean and Seth up. She was told that they had a mild concussion when she got back to the trainer's room last night. She asked them simple question like what's your name, what's your birthday, do you know the right from your left? Well the last one was just for her benefit.
When Nicky woke up in the morning she felt like hell, her head hurt probably from last night and she was coughing a lot. Just her luck she caught a cold from the rain.
Roman woke up from Nicky coughing seeing her cheeks were a little paler than usual and her nose was red. She cough harshly having Roman pat her back until she stopped.
"Are you alright babe?" She look up at him shaking her head before having another coughing fit.
"I think I … Caught something in the Rain yesterday looking for Dean. Sorry if I woke you up." Her voice scratchy Roman pressed his hands to her forehead feeling the heat come off in waves. Oh yeah she was sick.
Roman went to his bad pulling out some medication he usually takes with him on the road. He took the cold medicine and pain killers grabbing a bottle of water from the fridge. Coming back to the bed he helped Nicky sit up before he handed her the pain killers and the water. Nicky mumbled her silent thank you before taking the pain killers.
He pulled the covers away just enough to get right next to Nicky pulling her close. She raised one eyebrow going to protest she could get him sick also before he cut her off before she even started her sentence.
"You know your freezing so enjoy. Don't worry about getting me sick." Nicky nodded before she settled more onto his chest listening to the soothing sound of his heartbeat. Roman ran his hands through her hair skimming over the back of her head, Nicky hissed in pain.
"Did I hurt you?" He asked she shook her head lightly floating in between dreaming and reality.
"No, I hit my head when Bray threw me into the pole last night. It's just a bump I'll be alright." She mumbled tiredly, Roman tensed hearing that she was hurt during the match and he didn't even know. Looking down her lips were parted and her eyes were closed as she slept on his chest.
Two hours later Seth phone was ringing loudly around the room, before he picked it up mumbling a low hello getting up going into the bathroom. Dean woke up from Seth phone ringing cursing him and the concussion he had. Roman only chuckled at the two. Nicky started another coughing fit and Roman rubbed her back until she stopped.
"She's sick isn't she? From the rain." Roman shrugged still rubbing her back as she slept.
"Probably. What happened to you after Bray took you into the crowd man?" Dean looked away not wanting to admit what Bray did to him before he threw him behind the dumpster. Luckily Seth walked back in giving them the news that Roman was set for a match against Bray tonight.
"Didn't we just beat them yesterday why do we another match?" Roman asked skeptical about this.
"I don't know Hunter called and he said that Roman had match against Bray tonight." Everyman sighed in the room before they started getting ready to Arena.
Nicky was laying on the couch in the locker room, wearing one of Roman hoodies watching the promo between the boys.
"So walk me through this one more time. Where were…" Seth asked while Dean was standing their shaking. Roman just watching the two.
"I've been... I've been repeating myself for 24 hours. Alright. I'm getting a little sick of your two ganging up on me." Dean said moving around frantically.
"We are not ganging up on you!" Seth yelled but Dean raised his voice higher
"I'm getting a little sick, of explaining myself. So if all that is not good enough for you two. If you don't trust me. Whatever."
"That's not it…" Seth protested while Dean was yelling in Roman face.
"Whatever I'm out of here." Dean said walking off the camera, Nicky could see the pain Seth had in his eyes as he watched Dean walk away but he had to play his character.
"I don't know if I believe him. I want to it makes a lot of sense but so many times now, over and over again." Seth sadly spoke Roman was nodding his head in understand before he look up death glare whoever was off screen.
"Please boys don't allow us to interrupt." Bray Wyatt and his family came on the screen Nicky sat up now, no matter how much her sick body protested.
"You already did interrupt, and that a big problem" Roman growled with anger. "We can settle this right here right now. Or you can man up and fight me in the ring one on one. You leave the family behind and I'll leave the hounds behind." Bray just laughed.
"You are an amazing creature you know that." Bray said to Roman before he walked out the screen.
Nicky stood up in the locker room, scared for Roman. He had a one on one match with her kidnapper. She was freaking out both Seth and Roman walked in to a frantic pacing Nicky.
"Whoa babe. Calm down." Seth grasped her shoulders she didn't Roman out their alone.
"Why would you set up a match, between you and Bray, you're going to get hurt. I can't watch you get hurt. No, Roman you're going to have…" Plucking her from Seth arms Roman pulled her into a passionate kiss shutting her up from her rambling.
"Because I love you Nicky Calloway, and he needs to pay for what he did to you. The Roman Reigns way." Nicky stared up at him.
"You love me?" A cute smiled graced his face before he nodded. A tear fell down her face while Roman whipped it away she wrapped her arms around his neck getting on her tippy toes kissing with so much love and passion. They pulled apart when they saw a flash brightening the room up. Looking over to Seth who was holding his phone typing away fiercely. He looked up at the two innocent in his eyes, they both knew he was up to no good.
"Rollins." Roman growled.
"What I just uploaded it to twitter calm down. See?" He showed his phone to the two cute couple. It was adorable Nicky was on her tippy toes while Roman craned his neck to kiss her his arms wrapped around her waist. Reading the caption under it "I love you." She smiled. Hugging Seth as he chuckled at her.
"You're such a dork." She whispered. He shrugged his shoulders hugging her also. Mumbling how she wouldn't like it any other way. Laughing the three stayed in the locker room talking Roman checking her temperature. She would push him away from her because he would get a little to mother hen about it.
"I got to go babe." Roman said getting off the couch. She stood up also grabbing his hand in hers.
"Please be safe." She pleaded Roman sighed kissing her lightly.
"I promise I will. Stay safe with Seth okay? Get some rest you're still a little warm" she nodded worry started to plague her mind. Hugging him and giving him one last kiss before he left he opened the door turning around.
"I love you." He called out, her heart fluttered.
"I love you too." He closed the door with a giant smile on his face. Nicky then turned to Seth who was looking lost in thought.
"So you going to talk to me about Dean or are you going to keep looking like a wounded puppy?" Seth looked at her smiling sadly a little before explaining.
"Well he obviously feels that you're siding with Roman." She said brushing her hands through his two toned hair.
"Yeah, but I'm not. It's been countless of times were he disappears in a match and it be getting to me because I always get hurt." She sighed
"I know Seth, but think about what Dean was probably thinking." He scuffed
"Probably nothing." She tapped his forehead lightly
"Just talk to him about it and try not to get into an argument on national television." He smirked before nodding. Both their head snapped up when the television turn into static seeing Luke Harper and Erik rowan standing outside the ring.
"Shit! Stay here." Seth ran out the room closing the door behind him.
"What do you mean stay here!?" She got up opening the door her eyes widen.
"Long time no see." Her mouth hung in disbelief, and her eyes wide before she stuttered out.
"What are you doing here?" she stuttered moving back cautiously.
"Oh. You know why I'm here." Nicky shook her head seeing the sharp object in her hands.
"Sara. Just put that down and we can talk about this." Nicky said calmly.
"OHHH. Little Nicky scared, her hounds aren't here to protect her?" Sara cooed. Before slashing the sharp blade towards Nicky. Nicky jumped back falling over one of the tables. She quickly stood up scrapping her hand on the broken glass of the vase. Sara saw the blood on the floor from Nicky hand, a sick smiled twisted on her face.
"Aw little Nicky has a boo boo. Here let me make it feel better." Sara lunged for Nicky but she flipped over the couch before she could touch her. Sara stood up breathing heavily, deranged and crazy in her eyes.
"Come on Nicky let's play." Nicky eyes filled with worry before she took one of the couch and flipped it over pushing it against Sara was she was pressed up into the wall. Nicky smiled turning around heading for the door, she ran out before Sara yells echo through the hallways.
"This isn't over Nicky! This is far from over!"
