"No, you can't go, Seth," Janessa cried. "I didn't mean to. It was an accident. Let's sit down and talk about it. Come. Let's go to the bedroom and lie down. Let's talk."
He looked at her and wondered how he had ever gotten involved with her. Her long, platinum blonde hair and her baby blue eyes had sucked him right in. He had been warned about her. She was known to hurt her boyfriends because she thought every man was hers to treat as she saw fit. He still got into a relationship with her, and for a while everything had been great. Until tonight.
"Let me go," he said.
"Seth, please!" She whined.
He had come home earlier than expected. A whole day earlier in fact. A show had been canceled and everyone had been sent home. It was early morning and he was tired and wanted to sleep. He hadn't expected to find his girlfriend in bed with another man. He wasn't proud of it but he had grabbed the other man and gotten a few punches in before telling him to fuck off. The other man did just that. He grabbed his clothes and ran while Janessa was screaming at Seth that he was misunderstanding everything.
"You got it all wrong," she said.
"You were naked in bed with another man," he said.
"We were just sleeping," she said.
"Naked?" He asked. "There's a used condom on the floor. You didn't even bother cleaning up."
"It meant nothing. He means nothing to me. I love you, Seth," she said.
She kept holding on to his arm while he tried to get out of the front door. She refused to let him go.
"Seth, please!" She whined again.
"Let me go," he said.
"No!" She cried.
"Let me go!" He screamed.
She looked stunned at hearing him scream like that. He had never raised his voice like that before. Her grip loosened and he quickly made his escape out of the front door. Once he was outside, he knew she wouldn't follow. She was still naked and she had no interest in letting the neighbors see her.
"For fuck's sake!" He growled.
He jumped into his car and drove down the street. He didn't know where he was going. He just needed to get away. He didn't even think until he turned down the street to Roman's house. He parked and ran up to the front door. He walked inside without knocking first, and then the tears finally started running down his cheeks.
"Roman!" Seth yelled.
Roman came running and put his arms around Seth. He had no idea what was going on but his friend was clearly upset.
"What's wrong, Seth?" Roman asked.
"She cheated on me," Seth cried.
"Fucking hell," Roman sighed. "I'm sorry, Seth."
"Dean warned me. I should have listened," Seth said.
"Don't blame yourself. She's the one who chose to cheat. You didn't ask her to," Roman said. "Come on."
Roman guided Seth into the living room where they sat down on the couch.
"What do you wanna do?" Roman asked.
"I don't know," Seth said.
"You can crash here tonight if you need a place," Roman said.
"Thank you," Seth said. "Can I have some water?"
"Of course," Roman said.
Roman got up and got a bottle of water for Seth. Seth drank several sips while turning everything around in his head.
"I'm not going back to her," Seth said.
"Okay," Roman said.
"I still have my house in Iowa. It hasn't sold yet. I can take it off the market again and go home," Seth said.
"Do you wanna go home?" Roman asked.
Seth took another sip and then nodded.
"I think I do," Seth said. "I wanna go home, Roman. I've never liked it here. I moved here for her."
"You haven't even been here a month," Roman said.
"I know, and that cunt already cheats on me. She could have waited at least until after Summerslam, right? Wait for it to get a bit more normal and boring," Seth said.
Seth cracked a smile at Roman, and Roman chuckled in return. Seth leaned back in the couch and let out a loud sigh.
"I should have listened to Dean. He told me she would fuck me over," Seth said.
"Because she fucked him and several of his friends over in the past," Roman said.
"What?" Seth asked.
"Dean asked me not to tell you because he didn't want to make it awkward but he dated Janessa way back right when he joined NXT. They were only together a few months and then he caught her sucking some dude's dick when he came over for a surprise visit. He saw them through the window and he watched until she suddenly turned her eyes towards him. She looked shocked and he just raised his middle fingers and walked away. She tried calling and texting but our boy ignored it. He was hurt though but you know him. He always deals with that shit alone," Roman said.
"For fuck's sake," Seth said. "Call him. He's still in Florida, right?"
"Yeah, he and Renee are coming over tonight for dinner," Roman said.
"Call them and ask them if they're up for helping me move right this second," Seth said.
Roman grinned, picked up his phone, and called Dean. He quickly filled Dean in on everything, and not even 15 minutes later Roman and Seth heard a car stopping outside. Dean and Renee came walking in. Seth stood up and Dean hugged Seth without saying a word first.
"Thank you," Seth said.
"I told you she's a cunt," Dean said.
"I wish you had told me the full story," Seth said.
"Roman?" Dean asked.
"Yeah, I told him," Roman said. "He needed to know."
"It's alright. It's all in the past, and now it's time to make her your past too," Dean said. "Renee's got some single friends if you're interested."
"Not now, Dean," Renee said. "Let the man heal first."
"Just saying," Dean smirked. "My boy needs a real woman. Not a cheating cunt."
"I'll think about it," Seth chuckled. "Can we please just go and get this over with?"
Dean turned around and walked back the way he came from. Renee smiled at Roman and Seth, and then followed after her husband.
"Let's get you far away from her," Roman said.
Seth nodded and walked out of the house. Roman locked up and turned to look at Seth.
"Let's take my car. You shouldn't be driving when you're upset," Roman said.
Roman and Seth got into Roman's car while Dean and Renee took their car. They drove back to Janessa's place, and Seth walked in first with the three of them following after him.
"Seth?" Janessa called.
Janessa came running out with a hopeful smile on her face. Her smile fell when she saw Seth had brought his friends.
"What are they doing here?" Janessa asked.
"Helping our friend move out," Renee smiled sweetly.
"What?" Janessa looked at Seth. "You can't do that. You can't leave me like that. We need to talk about this."
"Everything that needed to be said has already been said," Dean said.
"Dean," Janessa crossed her arms.
"Yeah, I remember you too," Dean said. "Cunt!"
"Get the fuck out of my house!" Janessa yelled.
"In a moment," Dean said. "Which way, Seth?"
Seth escorted them into the bedroom and pointed at his things. Dean and Renee started packing everything while Roman followed Seth around the house to gather whatever he had left other places. Roman was a calm voice constantly reminding Seth of things he might not think about like personal papers and toiletry. They were quickly done. Renee, Dean and Roman carried everything out in the cars while Seth found the key to the house and handed it to Janessa.
"No, Seth!" She cried.
She grabbed his arm again and refused to let go. His friends watched through the open door, ready to jump in if it was needed.
"It was an accident. I didn't mean to. Stay with me, Seth. I love you," she cried.
He looked at her and suddenly he couldn't remember what had made him fall for her to begin with. He fell out of love the moment he saw her tears. She had the audacity to cry when he was the one who had been hurt.
"You're pathetic," he said.
"What?" She asked.
"You're pathetic," he repeated. "A fucking pathetic cunt!"
She let go of his arm and he hurried out of the house before she figured out how to use her words again. He jumped into Roman's car, and they took off. Seth's phone started ringing and he growled in annoyance when he saw her name on the screen.
"Fucking hell, we're not even down the road yet," Roman said.
Seth declined the call and blocked her number.
"Block her on everything," Roman said. "E-mail, twitter, instagram, whatever other social medias you might have."
"On it," Seth said. "And done. She can't contact me anymore."
"Atta boy!" Roman chuckled.
Seth fell back in the seat and felt tears run down his cheeks again.
"God damn it!" Seth muttered.
"It's okay. It's healthy to cry. Don't bottle it up inside," Roman said.
"I think I need a bottle of gin tonight," Seth said.
"I think I can manage that," Roman said.
"Tomorrow I'll drive back to Iowa but tonight I just wanna chill with my friends," Seth said.
Roman reached over and patted Seth's arm.
"We got your back, Seth," Roman said. "Whatever you need, we're always here for you."
