"You're choking me! YOU'RE CHOKING ME! LEENA!"

I tossed Dean into the couch of the tour bus after dragging him by the collar of his t-shirt. I straddled his hips and gripped his neck forcing him to look at me. "What the fuck is your deal, dude?! First you go an tell Seth and Ro what happened but then you lie about the whole thing and fuck things up even more! and THEN you wimp out and decide not to ride with us?! I honestly can't deal with you right now! You piss me off so much!"

Dean looked at his fingernails and chewed one absentmindedly. "You done?"

I slapped him upside the head and screamed. This stupid motherfucker! How could he just...ohhhh. i see now. This little shit was just trying to get under my skin. And it had worked for a second. But i got him now. "You're doing this shit on purpose aren't you?"

That sadistic little smirk appeared on his lips which just made me want to smack him twice as hard. "It's fun seeing you all worked up. It makes you hotter."

"You're a glutton for punishment, aren't you? You're just begging me to kick you in your balls. I get it now."

Dean snapped his legs shut. "No! That's not what I'm asking. Look, I was going to tell them the whole truth because I think i might...maybe have a conscious?...Maybe. Is that a thing? I was feeling some kind of way when i decided to tell them but I got to be totally honest, I chickened out at the last minute. What you said kinda made me think, you know what if they didn't let me hang with you again? I didn't want that so-"

"Oh my god, Dean...you have feelings!"

"I do not!" he shouted, clearly taken offense. "You're the crazy one here."

I couldn't help but laugh. "Dean Ambrose is calling me crazy. That should go down in history as the funniest thing I've ever heard you say."

"Whatever. You dragged me in here to yell at me and you got your wish. Can i go now?"

I stared down at my feet. I didn't want him to go. He was the only company I had ever since everyone left. I was really lonely and just wanted to be around someone. But he didn't seem to want to hangout. It wasn't his usual behavior. "If you want to..."

"You gonna hit me again if I go?"

"No." I said simply, crossing my arms and letting out a huff. I wondered if he could tell that I wanted him to stay. Was it that obvious?

He got up and sauntered over to me. When I looked up he was only a few centimeters from my face. My heart started to pound in my chest and I became nervous. "D-Dean..."

Dean planted a gentle kiss to my forehead. "i'll stay with you but only because you look so pitiful without me."

"Shut up, asshole. I'm not pitiful. I'm just bored out of my fucking mind. There's nothing to do on a damn tour bus." I replied after letting out a sigh.

Dean hiked himself onto the small kitchen counter and picked at a loose thread on his ripped jeans. "Course there is. You can fuck, get drunk, watch videos, listen to music, do stupid shit and put it on the internet. Great times on tour."

"That just sounds like a recipe for diaster. Let's do it."

Dean gave me a high five. "That's my girl!"

"But first, what did you do to Cameron and Eva? I'm dying to know!"

"Oh. That. I just made them confess to what they did to your shit. I got it all on tape. Then i proceeded to sneak into their own dressing room and give them a taste of their own medicine. As in destroying their ring gear leaving them with only one set of perfectly in tact clothes. But those shorts had a nice layer of itching powder right in the crotch. Not to mention their 'untouched' bottle of water had a big dose of laxatives in it. But they weren't smart enough to get proof of me doing it." He said so proud of his evil plan.

"Oh my god! Dean! You're fucking insane. Amazingly so. You're also a giant child." I laughed.

"Hey, they're the ones that wanted to act like they're in fucking high school. Anyway, we're pulling into a gas station. time to booze up, girly!"

"I think you'd get married to a case of booze if you could."

"If you come to my booze wedding, I'll come to your pizza wedding." he replied.

"Speaking of which, let's get pizza."


"Step 1! Grab a buddy!" I shouted as i pulled Dean close to me. I tried to keep my cellphone at armslength so it would capture our little video. Dean stuck his tongue out and made one of his crazy faces. "Ok, step 2! Booze it up!" I set my cellphone down and angled it so it could get Dean and I puncturing our beer cans to shot gun them. The fizzy liquid went everywhere of course, soaking our shirts and getting on the floor of the bus.

"Now that you're thoroughly soaked in cheap gas station beer, pick a song that's gonna get you hyped up!" I selected a heavy song from my iPod and Dean and i both started headbanging, whirling our heads around and putting all that force in our bodies. It wasn't until our heads accidentally smashed into one another that we fell back and stopped. we both landed on our backs laughing our asses off even though our heads throbbed.

"I told you we'd find a way to have fun on the bus." Dean chuckled.

"I guess you were right...for once. My head is killing me though. You've got a damn cement block for a head!"

"I've got to! With all the bumps i've taken to it I've become immune to anything."

I rubbed my head and sighed, staring up at the metal ceiling. I enjoyed the silence for a moment until Dean spoke up again.

"You ever been in love with someone who doesn't love you?"

I shot up and stared at him, my mouth hanging open. How could he ask me such a question? "Dean, don't start this...please."

"No, no! It's not like that. I guess in reality I should've asked what it's like to love someone. I've never been in love before so i'm not exactly sure what I'm supposed to feel."

"You don't feel anything specific. Like there isn't a certain emotion that defines what it means to be in love. And it's different for everyone." I thought for a moment. "See, for me love is painful. I hate being in love. I always get hurt. I'm always guarded, always scared but eventually I let myself go. I give that person my entire being. I love them with all my heart until eventually I'm crushed. But I keep doing this to myself over and over. I say 'this time i won't fall in love' because you know, it's easy to be with someone and not be in love. You can be attached and care about them but that's all you feel. But it never fails."

"Do you think Seth and Roman will hurt you one day?"

I shrugged. "Maybe, probably. Like my ex-girlfriend, my first relationship, she was conscious of some of the things she did to hurt me but other times she wasn't. She also said I was controlling and crazy. But i just didn't want to be with someone that did things I didn't like. I hated her friends, her friends hated me. We didn't even have anything in common."

"So why'd you stay with her then?" He asked scooting closer to me so he could hold my hand.

"You really want to know?" I stared straight into his blue eyes and he nodded, completely focused on what I was saying. "i was scared to be alone. I thought that no one would ever love me. it seems like a stupid thought but when everyone around you starts pairing up you think about shit like that."

Suddenly he squeezed my hand tightly and that was when I realized he knew exactly what I was talking about. We were the same way. Exactly the same in how we presented ourselves in relationships. How i didn't notice before, i have no clue. But in Dean's own way, through my confessions, he was telling me exactly how he felt.

"It fucking sucks being alone. It's nice sometimes but then other times you just feel so fucking alone. Even when I hear the loudest pop in the arena from thousands of people I still feel like I'm the only one. And I can't even share that with someone else. I don't think I'm good enough for anyone."

"Such your mouth you dirty mutt. You are good enough. You've just...gotta find the right person to mesh with you. That sounds completely like some inspirational shit Oprah would say but it's the truth." I said.

Dean wiped his face with the sleeve of his shirt and laughed. "i don't think Oprah would call me a dirty mutt but thanks."

"So what's up with the heavy talk all of a sudden? We were having fun."

"Well...i was trying to sort my feelings out for you. It kept pacing back and forth in my mind because, like I said, I've never been in love before. So i didn't really know if what I was feeling was love or not."

"I can't really help you there. You've kinda have to figure it out on your own. I can't tell you what your love feels like. But i will tell you i'll always be there for you." I pulled my hands from his and instead wrapped both my arms around his broad chest.

"Is that you're way of friendzoning me?"

"Dean Ambrose! There is no such thing as the friendzone! It's just an imaginary ordeal created by douchebag cry babies that complain about not getting their dicks touched! You my friend are indeed a douchebag crybaby but I'm not letting you slip any further down that treacherous path!" I jumped up with a feigned look determination on my face. He couldn't help but laugh.

"Sorry, geez. I won't call it a friend zone. I'll just call Seth and Roman to very big cock blocks." He winked at me then got up. "Gotta go piss, sweet cheeks."

"Thank you for the play by play. I'll be sure to hold my breath in anticipation of your fabulous return!"


~IMPORTANT NOTICE~

Hello my lovey readers and followers! I just wanted to let you guys now there will be one (maybe two) more chapters before this story goes on Hiatus. I'm sure that most of you are already on your way back to school, as am i. I'm a junior in college, going full time and trying to get a job so i might not have enough time to write. I'm also going to be taking a writing class as well as possibly being creative director for a school magazine so my determination to write freely might be really low. I don't want to disappoint anyone but i do want to keep up with this story. So think of this as a Mid Season Finale. (not the Series finally, just the season finale!)

Anyway I hope you guys still keep up with the story and bare with me and my slower updates.

Also, wee bit of input is appreciated. I want to do this sequel as a year in Leena's life so as you might have noticed we're in march, so that give us 9 more months to work with. Anyone want to give me ideas to play with? I love getting reviews even if they are one sentence and seeing your ideas would be awesome. Maybe whoever comes up with the biggest plot twist will get a one shot written by yours truly :)(note: Leena leaving seth and Ro for Dean is an obvious plotwist, so something different :P)

Sorry for the long A/N!
