Now that they never have to deal with James again Seth and Sky were back on the road just as their mother went back home, Seth had noticed that his sister was clingy the first week he brushed it off figuring she was still a bit scared from their father. The preteen still felt so guilty for what James had done to Sarah she kept trying not to think about it but when she saw Sarah her mind went back to it. Whenever she looked towards the other girl she got tears in her eyes.
"Sky you alright?" Seth asked.
"No". She sniffed.
Seth then took a hold of his sister's hand and brought her away from everyone and tried to figure out what was wrong.
"What's wrong sweetheart?" Seth asked wiping a couple of tears from her eyes.
"It's my fault for what happened to Sarah". Sky said.
"Hey that's not your fault that was James' fault not yours". Seth said calmly but firmly.
"But if i had just went with him then that wouldn't have happened to Sarah". Sky said.
"Listen Sky you don't know what he was planning to do so you can't say it's your fault, what happened wasn't in anyway your fault, it wasn't my fault it was James' fault". Seth said.
"But-" She said but was cut off.
"There are no buts Sky it wasn't your fault and you can't let it get to you". Seth said.
"Alright". Sky said.
"Good girl". Seth said then kissing her temple.
He then went back to his friends since it was the day of the Elimination Chamber ppv and they were going against The Wyatt family so while they were talking Sarah wanted to try to talk to Sky.
"Hey you ok?" Sarah asked.
"I don't know". Sky replied.
"You know it wasn't your fault for what happened to me right. I don't blame you for what happened". Sarah said.
"I just feel guilty because it was my dad that did it". Sky said.
"But you didn't know what he was going to do so you can't blame yourself". Sarah said.
"If i went with him he wouldn't have done that". Sky said.
"But if you had went with him you wouldn't know what he would do to you". Sarah said.
"I'm sorry". Sky said.
"You have nothing to be sorry for you didn't do anything". Sarah said.
"I'm gonna try and move past this but it'll take a while". Sky said.
"It's gonna take time Sky". Sarah said.
"You think the guys will let us walk around?" Sky asked.
"I don't know Dean has been driving me crazy with his over protectiveness". Sarah said.
"Seth has been too but brothers what can you do". Sky said.
"We can try and ask". Sarah said.
The girls then went to their brothers and Sky spoke up. "Seth". Sky said.
"What is it Sky". Seth said.
"Do you think i could walk around i'll have Sarah with me". Sky said.
"Can i go Dean please". Sarah said.
Seth then looked over at Dean then down at his sister, he didn't want Sky to leave his sights after what had happened Dean was the same way but they knew that they couldn't keep their sisters glued to their sides forever.
"Alright but you are to keep your phone with you at all given times and you are not to go anywhere near the authority or the Wyatts do you understand me". Seth said firmly.
"The same goes for you Sarah you hear me". Dean added.
"Yes". They said.
"When you're finished you come straight back to the hideout". Seth said.
"Ok". They said.
The two girls then happily ran off and Seth sighed sadly. "What's wrong?" Roman asked.
"It's Sky, she still blames herself for what happened to Sarah". Seth said.
"Did you talk to her?" Dean asked.
"Repeatedly but she still blames herself, she feels guilty because it was our dad that did it". Seth said.
"Give her time Seth she's gonna need time to heal". Roman said.
"Hey back when Sarah's dick father tried to get custody of her she wouldn't talk to me or anybody for almost a month i just had to give her time and space". Dean said.
"I want her to open up to me but she won't". Seth said.
The two toned then had an idea so he went away from his friends and pulled his phone out making a call.
-Hello. Jennifer answered.
-Mom it's me. Seth replied.
-Seth? Is everything alright? Is Sky ok? Jennifer asked panicked.
-Mom calm down everything's fine but i do have to talk to you about Sky. Seth said.
-What is it? Jennifer asked.
-She's blaming herself for what James did and i don't know how to get it out of her head, what should i do? Seth asked.
-Have you tried talking to her about it? Jennifer asked.
-All the time but she still feels guilty about it god i wanna punch that dick in his face. Seth said.
-Seth language, you may be a grown man but you know i hate that kind of language. Jennifer scolded her son.
-Sorry mom it's just...mom after all he's done though he hurt Sarah so bad she has a concussion and now Sky feels guilty for it, she shouldn't have to feel guilty or sorry for what James did. It pisses me off just thinking about it.
-Seth. Jennifer said warning her son.
-Sorry mom, i just don't know what to do. Seth said.
-Maybe she could come home for a little bit and the two of us could spend time together. Jennifer said.
Seth had felt his heart break. -When do you want me to bring her home? He asked.
-Maybe tonight if you're up for it. Jennifer said.
-I'll see what i can do i gotta go mom, i'll see you later. Seth said.
-I'll see you later baby, i love you. Jennifer said.
-I love you too mom. Seth said.
He hung his phone up and wiped his eyes from the tears that started forming, he had gotten use to having his sister with him again and now she has to go home.
"You alright?" Dean asked breaking him from his thoughts.
"Not really". Seth mumbled.
"What's wrong?" Roman asked.
"I called my mom to see what i could do about Sky and she said that Sky could go home for a bit". Seth said.
"It won't be so bad man it's just for a little bit it won't be forever". Dean said.
"But it could be forever, i just got use to having her with me and i hate the idea of both of them at home by themselves not knowing anything about James or where he could be". Seth said.
"James is in jail man he's not gonna hurt Jen or Sky he's not stupid". Dean said.
"You really don't know him like i do he'll know if i'm not around he will do something and once i hear about it he bolt or deny everything, he's done it my whole life like i said before what he did to me he's doing the same to Sky. I remember when i was 11 and i was on the floor doing my homework just like a normal kid then he came home". Seth said.
*Flashback*
17 years ago
A young Seth Rollins was sitting on the living room floor of his home doing his homework while his mother was in the kitchen doing dinner, his father hadn't come home just yet and to him he was actually happy about that. He didn't know what was going on with his father but whatever it was it was starting to scare the young boy. Just then the front door with a brute force, Seth then felt fear in his body as his father walked through the door drunker than hell and when he was drunk he was very violent.
"Oh James honey your home, how was your day". Jennifer said trying to ease the situation.
"It was fine, where the hell is my dinner?" James slurred.
"It's in the kitchen, Seth honey come on dinner's ready". Jennifer said.
"Coming mom". Seth said.
Once the three were in the kitchen they had began eating, Seth was terrified right now he kept looking at his mother for comfort she gave him her warm motherly smile. Everything was quiet until Seth had accidentally knocked over his cup of milk getting it everywhere, when the young boy looked over at his father his brown eyes were widen in absolute fear and terror.
"I'm sorry dad it was an accident". Seth said quickly.
"You little brat! You think i buy this for you to spill!" James yelled slurring his words.
"James calm down it was an accident". Jennifer said.
"You shut the hell up and stay out of this!" James yelled at his wife. He then looked over to Seth who already had tears streaming down his face. "Oh so now you wanna cry well let me tell you something i didn't raise no wimp or a coward". James said as he got up.
He went to grab Seth's wrist but Jennifer had caught him before. "You will not lay a hand on him". Jennifer scowled.
"I told you to stay out of this". James said as he backhanded his wife as she fell back onto the cabinet and fell.
"Mom!" Seth cried out.
"Oh no you don't get over here". James said.
Seth had tried to fight his father's tight hold but couldn't he was then placed over his father's knee and James had already took his belt off making the young boy squirm trying to get out of the hold.
"This'll teach you, you little snot nosed brat". James said.
James had then begun beating Seth with the leather belt many times, by the fifteenth hit Seth was bawling his eyes out so much he couldn't breath his face covered in tears and snot when James was finished he went and passed out on the couch like he always done. Jennifer had went over and hugged her son tightly.
"It's alright baby it's alright now, mommy's got you it's ok now". Jennifer soothed her upset son.
"I don't like dad no more". Seth sniffed.
Jennifer then quietly took Seth upstairs and they each packed a suitcase and left that night going to stay with Jennifer's sister.
*Back to reality*
"James was always a drunk bastard he made sure his point always got across some how". Seth explained.
Dean and Roman stood in shock they had never once heard something from Seth's childhood.
"He gave me so many black eyes that i had lost count, ended up in the emergency room so many times that i was a freaking regular so was my mom". Seth said.
"Seth i'm...i'm so sorry that happened to you". Roman said.
"I am too". Dean said.
"That's why when i had the chance i left i always kept in touch with my mom but never him because he didn't give a damn he was just pissed because i didn't follow into his footsteps, he wanted me to work with him at his company but i said no i wanted to wrestle and he couldn't accept it". Seth said.
"Did...did he ever do anything to Sky?" Roman asked afraid to know.
"She told me that he'd come around drunker than hell, but one time he beat her so bad she couldn't sit right for a few days". Seth said.
That made Dean and Roman's blood boil, how could anyone ever lay a hand on their own child like that? It sickened both men to their stomachs.
"I may not tell you guys a lot about what happened when i was growing up it's because some of the memories were so painful that it still hurts to this day, hell the man never once told me he was ever proud of me". Seth said shaking his head.
"I wanna kick his ass again". Dean said.
"Well you can't or you be in jail too and you won't leave Sarah by herself". Roman said.
"You have a good point". Dean said.
"So in a way i could see why Sky feels guilty about what happened because i feel guilty as hell for letting him do it all over again". Seth said.
"Hey you didn't know that you had a sister so what could you have done?" Roman replied.
"I could have kept in touch with my mom and she would have told me about Sky sooner, i could have kept them both safe by having them move in with me or at least having them come on the road with me". Seth replied.
"So why don't you? I mean Sky could be home schooled like i home school Sarah, your mom could stay back at the hotel or come to the arena". Dean said.
"My mom doesn't like moving around so much, she did a lot of that growing up she likes to stay in one place if she was with us she'd go crazy after the first couple days". Seth explained.
"So have them move in with you, i mean James doesn't know where you live right". Roman said.
"You're right he doesn't but i don't know if my mom will even go for it". Seth said.
"So you talk to her about it". Roman said.
"I will". Seth replied.
The girls were enjoying their walk then all of a sudden Sky had stopped walking she felt as if her feet were glued to the floor her mind going back to what James had done.
"Sky are you ok?" Sarah asked.
Sky didn't answer she then had tears coming down her cheeks, she felt as if she couldn't breath anymore her breathing came in shallow breaths, she felt something not right in the pit of her stomach she then screamed so loud it it made everyone in the hallways jump, Sarah didn't know what to do Sky started to fight while she was crying she didn't want to approach her but she had to do something she remembered that Dean, Seth, and Roman weren't that far but she couldn't leave Sky so she quickly ran down the hallway and found them fast. Dean looked over to see his sister out of breath so he rushed over causing Seth and Roman to move fast as well, Seth didn't see his sister which made him panic.
"Sweetheart what's wrong? Where's Sky?" Dean asked.
"We were walking then all of a sudden she stopped, she started crying, screaming and fighting". Sarah explained.
"Who was she fighting?" Seth asked.
"I don't know she started wailing her arms and throwing her fist". Sarah said.
"She could be having a panic attack". Roman said.
"Sweetheart where is she right now?" Seth asked.
"She's like right down the hall i didn't want to leave her but i didn't know what else to do". Sarah said.
"Hey you did the right thing by coming to get us sweetheart". Dean said.
The group then ran down the hall to see people trying to get Sky to calm down but it wasn't working, Seth knew his sister was in a full blown panic attack because he had them all the time when he was younger thanks to James he ran over telling everyone he's got it. He got down on his knees gently grabbing his sister's shoulder trying to get her attention.
"Sky, sweetheart it's me it's Seth can you look at me". Seth said gently.
Sky had stopped the fighting but tears continued to stream down her red puffy cheeks as she came back to reality. "S-Seth?" She asked in a raspy voice.
"It's me sweetheart it's me just follow what i do, deep breath in and out, in and out, in and out". Seth instructed.
The preteen then began to follow her brother till she got her breath back she then flung her arms around Seth's neck holding on for dear life.
"It's alright now sweetheart it's alright, shh it's ok i'm right here shh everything's alright". Seth soothed.
Sarah stood in front of her brother as he held her from behind, Seth held onto his sister for a few more minutes as she started to fall asleep in his arms so he lifted her up and she snuggled her head into his neck. He thought maybe she should go home for a little bit after all his mother was the one to pull him from his attacks when he was younger maybe she could do the same for Sky.
"Is she gonna be ok now?" Sarah asked.
"She'll be ok sweetheart". Seth replied.
"How'd you know how to do that?" Dean asked.
Seth gave him the 'i'll tell you later look' and Dean simply nodded as did Roman they saw the time and knew that their match was up soon so they quickly left the girls with Jimmy and Jey then went out for their match the whole time Seth just felt anger grow inside his body and he thought maybe it'll be enough to get him through in the match.
Ring
"This is a six man tag team match set for one fall". Lillian announced.
The Shield's music hit first as they came down from the crowds. "Introducing first the United States champion Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, The Shield!" Lillian announced.
They hopped over the barricade and got in the ring and waited till The Wyatts had came out. "And their opponents The Wyatt family". Lillian announced.
Once all six men were in the ring the ref had them separated for a moment then out of nowhere Dean had jumped Bray causing a whole brawl between the six men The Wyatts had gotten out the ring leaving The Shield in the ring, the ref had finally restored ordered and the men went to their corner, Seth and Rowan had started the match off.
(Skips time)
During the match, Ambrose fought with Wyatt into the Arena Stands. When Wyatt returned, Ambrose was not seen. Afterwards, Harper and Rowan performed a Double Chokeslam on Rollins off the English Announce Table through the Spanish Announce Table. Towards the end of the match, Wyatt attempted to perform Sister Abigail on Reigns although Reigns countered the move before Reigns performed a Samoan Drop on Wyatt. Reigns performed a Superman Punch on Rowan before Reigns performed a Superman Punch on Wyatt. Reigns attempted to perform a Spear on Wyatt although Harper stood in the way, causing Reigns to perform a Spear on Harper, before Wyatt performed a Running Crossbody on Reigns. Wyatt performed a Sister Abigail on Reigns for a three count, giving The Wyatt Family the win.
"Here are your winners The Wyatt family". Lillian announced.
Seth and Roman had picked each other up then went to look for Dean, back with Jimmy and Jey when Sarah saw that her brother didn't come back in put fear into her body.
"They'll find Dean won't they?" Sarah asked.
"Of course they'll find him". Jimmy said.
Sky had started whimpering in her sleep so Jimmy stayed with the girls while Jey went to get Seth, both Roman and Seth had looked all over the whole arena for Dean and couldn't find him anywhere it was as if he just disappeared.
"This is just great where the hell is he?" Seth asked.
"Your guess is as good as mine". Roman said.
Roman then seen one of his cousin's coming towards him and Seth which had put a little bit of fear in the two toned man's mind.
"What's wrong Jey". Roman said.
"I think something's wrong with Sky she just started whimpering in her sleep i figured i come get you before she starts crying". Jey said.
Seth had then ran down the hallway like a bat out of hell trying not to knock anybody over as he made it to the locker room, when he finally got there Sky had started to whimper more loudly and she was slowly started to fight in her sleep he immediately rushed over to her and embraced her trying to get her to calm down.
"It's alright Sky everything's alright, it's just a dream your dreaming. It's nothing but a dream". Seth whispered in her ear.
The young girl then started to calm down some her whimpers had calmed down as she remained asleep.
"Is she ok Uncle Seth?" Sarah asked.
"She'll be alright sweetheart". Seth said.
"What caused her to cry? Nobody had done nothing or said anything to her". Sarah said.
"She had a panic attack her mind went back to what happened with James she thought it was happening again". Seth explained.
"What's a panic attack?" Sarah asked a bit confused.
"A panic attack is a sudden episode of intense fear that triggers severe physical reactions when there is no real danger or apparent cause". Seth explained.
"So in her mind she thought James was coming for her but he really wasn't?" Sarah asked.
"Something like that". Seth said.
Sky then awoke as she felt something lurch in her stomach so Sarah got the trash can and put it in front of Sky as she emptied the contents of her stomach.
"Let it out Sky let it all out, it's alright i'm right here. It's gonna be ok sweetheart". Seth soothed.
Once Sky was finished Jimmy had given him a towel so he could wipe the little bit of vomit off Sky's mouth Jimmy then handed over a bottle of water to the two toned so Sky could rinse her mouth, Sky's throat felt raw after puking she could still taste it in her throat so she took the water bottle and drank some water getting the taste out of her mouth. It killed Seth inside because he remembered all of the attacks his mother had pulled him from when he was younger but to see his sister do it, it practically killed him inside which made more anger grow inside his body he felt his blood boiling at the moment.
"Seth". Sky said in a little voice.
"What is it sweetheart?" Seth asked moving some hair from her damp forehead.
"I want mommy". Sky whispered.
"Alright i'll take you home if you want". Seth said.
"I hope you feel better Sky". Sarah said.
"Thanks Sarah". Sky said.
Seth and Sky had went to get their stuff from the locker room and headed out, after searching for Dean for what seemed like hours Roman and Jey found him knocked out by the boiler room.
"Dean hey Dean wake up". Roman said slapping his face.
The blonde man had jumped awake. "What the hell man". Dean said rubbing his stinging cheek.
"Well you were passed out". Roman pointed out.
"What the hell happened". Dean said.
"Do you remember what happened during the match?" Roman asked.
"Wyatt and I were fighting in the stand then it's all blank". Dean said.
"Well let's get back before Sarah starts panicking". Roman said.
"How's Sky?" Dean asked.
"I told Seth she had started whimpering in her sleep and he ran back to the room". Jey explained.
"Poor kid". Dean said.
Once the trio had went back to the locker room they had seen that Seth and Sky left, Jimmy was trying to calm down an upset Sarah. When the door opened to the locker room and Sarah seen her brother she bolted over to him wrapping her arms around his legs tightly holding on for dear life.
"It's alright sweetheart i'm fine". Dean said rubbing her head.
"Where were you?" She asked.
"It doesn't matter the important thing is that i'm here now". Dean said.
"Let's head". Roman said.
Once everyone had their stuff they all left heading to the next town. Seth was driving while Sky was in the back seat fast asleep he kept looking back to check on her he made sure to keep a bucket with her in case she threw up again, he gripped the steering wheel as if he was strangling James right now it was bad enough he had a crap childhood now his sister had one he wondered if anything in his life will be normal or not screwed up in anyway. After a couple of hours of driving Seth had finally made it to his mother's house and he looked inside to see that she'd been waiting up for him he shook his head as he went to get his sister from the back, when Sky felt herself being lifted she stirred in her sleep.
"Shh sweetheart it's alright". Seth whispered.
He then quietly went up to the stoop and his mother opened the door to see Seth bringing in a sleeping Sky, she then noticed that her little girl had dried tear stains on her cheeks.
"I'll be right back mom". Seth said.
"Alright i'll make some tea". Jennifer said.
Seth brought his sister up to her room and laid her down covering her up then brushed some hair back from her forehead. "Sweet dreams sweetheart". He whispered.
He kissed her head then left her room leaving the door open he went back down to see his mother pouring tea in two cups.
"Seth what happened". Jennifer said.
"She had a panic attack earlier it was bad mom i mean real bad, she kept fighting while it was happening i don't know how but i was lucky i was able to pull her from it before she hurt herself or someone else". Seth said.
"It'll take her some time to heal she could still be getting over from what happened with James". Jennifer said.
Seth had scowled at his father's name. "It's all that dick's fault to begin with he should have stayed away when we told him too". He said.
Jennifer then gave her son a warning glare. "Sorry mom but it's true when we put the restraining order in place he should have followed it, now she feels guilty for what he's done to Sarah and she shouldn't have to". He said.
"She's a child Seth she feels since it was caused by her father she took the blame". Jennifer said.
"But it wasn't even her fault, mom she told me that if she would have went with him then Sarah wouldn't have gotten hurt". Seth said.
"I'll talk to her and if need be i'll put her in counseling". Jennifer said.
Seth had remembered many of those days he went to therapy for it but it wasn't enough he still had so much anger and frustration so when he started wrestling that was his chance to release it all.
"Do you think it'll work?" Seth asked.
"It worked with you didn't it, she'll need time honey just like you did and she will pull through from this she has a strong mother and brother to help her with this". Jennifer said.
Seth saw the time he had to be back on the road to make it to the next town. "I should go mom it's late i have to be getting to the next town and you need some rest". He said.
"You are not driving anywhere this time of night you will go up to your room and get some sleep you can leave in the morning". Jennifer said strictly.
Seth always knew to never argue with his mother because she always won. "Yes ma'am let me just go get Sky's bag from the car". He said.
He quickly ran out to his rental and got his sister's bag then went back inside as he went up to his room but quietly left Sky's luggage by her closet, he then quickly changed for bed but he couldn't sleep he kept tossing and turning for almost 15 minutes till he got up and went to his sister's room he checked in on her to make sure she was alright. Seth knew it was his brother instinct kicking in he then went back to his room to get a blanket and pillow as he put it next to his sister's bed and he laid down on the floor, he wanted to stay close to her as possible in case she may need him again he then slowly drifted off to sleep. Jennifer went to check on her son but noticed his room was empty so he went to check Sky's room and a smile appeared on her face when she saw Sky asleep in her bed and Seth on the floor right by her side she was proud to see the man her son had become.
