I crawled back into bed with Seth who is still sound asleep. I may not be able to sleep but at least I can cuddle this cute hunk of man. I curled up against his chest and he wrapped his arm around me.
"Hi sweetheart." He smiled. A rush of butterflies flew through my body. "Good morning." I snuggled my face into his chest. A new solution for all my problems: Smush my face into Seth's chest because it's warm and welcoming and makes all the bad things go away.
"How are you feeling?" He asked. I looked up at his face to see he's sporting a minor black eye but he still looks cute as hell. "I've been better." I smiled.
"I mean it, I'm never leaving your side. If I'm banned from ringside I'll be in the crowd or under the ring. I will always be right there Adalia, I swear to god I won't let anything happen to you." I felt a smile grow on my face. But at the same time I feel so weak and defenseless, I'm a professional wrestler and I can hardly defend myself. Its pathetic.
"What's the plan if we run into Dean?" Roman asked as he shoveled a bowl of oatmeal into his mouth. There's something pretty satistfying about that image. Seth fidgeted with his toast for a minute while he thought. "I guess I'll be a man and ask him for an explanation." He sighed. "Will you accept his apology?" I asked. "If it's good enough." He dipped his toast into his egg. "What if it's not?" I asked. He shrugged. "Just hope it is."
"We're set for a mixed tag match against Bray Wyatt and AJ." Seth read from his phone. My heart dropped. I shot him a look hoping he was joking but the look on his face proves me wrong. "I'll be right there 'dalia. Don't worry." He grabbed my hand. AJ shouldn't even be medically cleared yet. How the heck did this match even come into reality?
I am seriously horrified for our match later. AJ hates me and pretty much wants to end my career and Bray Wyatt has some sort of twisted crush on me. I'm pretty sure I've got a concussion as well and that does not mix well my paranoia. Tonight is going to be a train wreck.
Surprisingly Roman isn't banned from ringside. I followed Roman and Seth through the crowd and into the ring. My heart is beating like crazy and I really hope my game face is enough to hide all the anxiety running through me. No sign of Dean.
"Eliminate all fear and you will be invincible." Seth leaned down and kissed my forehead, holding my face in his hand.
"We're here." Bray Wyatt's creepy hushed tone spoke through the arena. Once the lights flicked back on Bray stood outside the ring with AJ in a sheep mask by his side. A pairing that works far too well with eachother. Harper and Rowen are nowhere to be found and that's not settling well with me.
Seth and Bray are about to start. "This ones for you my lovely." Bray shouted at me before Seth charged into him. He makes my stomach churn. Seth rammed Bray into the corner throwing punches at him. The hits didn't even affect Bray. He grabbed Seth by the head and threw him backwards. "It's all for you." Bray smirked walking towards me. Seth bounced off of the rope and landed his heel across the side of Brays face and knocked him onto the ground.
Seth has Bray right where he wants him, down and out. Every chance he got Seth would shove his boot into Bray's jaw as hard as he can. I guess he wants to make sure no other human has the missfortune of Bray Wyatt's lips on theirs.
AJ stared at me in fear as Seth tagged me in, Bray rolled off of the apron and onto the floor. "Come on AJ!" I screamed as I stood in the middle of the ring waiting for her to get in. She jumped off of the apron. "I don't need this!" She screamed. The hell you do. I slid through the ropes behind her and grabbed her arm tugging her backward and close lined her hard into the mat.
I threw her body into the ring and covered for a near 2 count. I locked her into a head lock. "You're pathetic." She hissed as she squirmed out of the lock and smacked my face into the mat. My head started throbbing. Ugh.
She skipped around the ring as I struggled to get to my feet. A boot to the face knocked me back onto the mat. She covered me but I kicked out at 2, barely. "You're weak!" She screamed as she threw a bunch of punches to my head. My vision began to go hazy.
She suddenly got off of my body. "Tag me in!" Bray Wyatt screamed from her corner. Of course she tagged him in. Seth ran into the ring immediately. I tried to roll out of the way but I couldn't. My body wouldn't cooperate. There was a thud against the mat next to me.
My face was roughly picked up as I stared into the menacing eyes of Bray Wyatt. "A girl like you needs a man like me." He smiled. I couldn't even fight back. My body is so weak. Bray received a face to the mat as Seth connected piece of mind.
"Babe it's okay." Seth said as he held me in his arms. "She needs to be checked out." He brought me to the side of the apron where Roman grabbed me and placed me on the floor.
"I'm fine." I whispered as the ringside official shined lights into my eyes. I shoved his hands away from my face. My vision became clear again but my head still throbs. I pulled my wrist out of the officials grasp. "Adalia, come on. You're not fine." Roman spoke. I ignored him.
I got back to my wobbly feet and crawled up onto the apron, using the ropes for support. Seth's giving Bray a hell of a beat down. AJ leaned against the ropes on the other side with her eyes locked on mine and a sick smile on her face.
Then the lights went out. My grip on the ropes tightened. What the heck?! "I'm right here." Seth said as he jumped out of the ring and pulled me down with him.
A lot of commotion came from the inside of the ring. Yelling and fighting. It has to be Dean. This is not good.
The lights flicked back on and sure enough it's Dean and Brays a bloody mess underneath him as he connects hit and hit to the face of Bray Wyatt. "Oh shit." Seth mumbled as he backed towards the barricade pulling me with him.
Deans got some sort of wire wrapped around his fist and he's repeatedly smashing it into the face of Bray Wyatt. Harper and Rowen came running down the ring but Seth and Roman quickly darted towards them. I stood by myself unsure of what to do.
I got up onto the apron screaming for Dean to stop. He stopped. His eyes are full of anger. "Isn't this what you want?!" He screamed, laughing. He spit in the face of Bray Wyatt before he slid out of the ring and walked up the ramp, Seth and Roman are too busy to even notice. Bray Wyatt is laid in the middle of the ring, a bloody mess. I almost feel bad for him.
Of course me being my usual smart minded girl, I followed Dean up the ramp. He made his way out into the parking lot like usual and I trailed close behind.
"It's what he deserved." He repeated to himself with a sickening smile on his face as he fidgetted with the wire wrapped around his bloody knuckle. "Dean, pull yourself back into reality." I spoke softly keeping my distance. He unraveled the wire from his fist, barbwire. He smiled as he balled up his fist and it oozed out blood. His sickening eyes met mine. "Baby girl this is reality." He laughed and closed the space between us. I took a deep breath. "No, Dean. Use your anchor." I spoke with a shaky voice. He laughed and grabbed my face in his bloody hand staring me in the eyes. "Don't I get a thank you?" He smiled completely ignoring everything I've said. I shoved him away from me and backed away from him. "This isn't you!" I screamed.
"It is now." He smirked walking towards me but I just kept backing away. Eventually I backed into the wall and he stood in front of me. "Dean, you're not yourself. Come on, pull yourself out of it." He laughed and grabbed my face again, I could feel the fear building inside of me. His teeth grazed over my ear, "Are you scared now?" He whispered and shoved my head away from him. He walked away laughing and talking to himself. I stood there completely shocked.
"Dean please." I said completely desperate. He stopped walking and turned around, he stared at me confused. Oh thank god.
"Fuck!" He screamed as he ran his hands roughly through his hair. I slowly walked towards him and he didn't budge. "I remember everything I did." He choked out. "I'm so fucking sorry."
I pulled him into a hug. He's broken. It hurts to see him like this. A sob escaped his lips as he finally broke down. "I don't want to be like this." He cried into my shoulder.
This is a Dean I haven't met yet, he's broken and desperate. It breaks my heart to see him like this. I guess all that anchor bullshit doesn't work after all.
"I gotta get back inside, they're probably worried sick." I gave Dean another hug. "I'm sorry for all of this. I'm sorry you have to deal with my bullshit." He apologized. "You're the only person I'll do it for, be careful and text me if anything happens." I smiled.
"Holy shit Adi your boyfriend is going crazy looking for you!" Kaitlyn shouted nearly giving me a heart attack. She grabbed my wrist and led me into catering where Seth sat alone with his head in his hands.
"Hi." I forced a weak smile and he jumped to his feet hugging me tightly. "What the fuck Adalia?!" He shouted as he stared into my eyes. "I got sick." I lied, staring at his chest. "Don't fucking disappear like that." He sighed hugging me again. I buried my face into his chest and eliminated all my worries and everything on my mind disappeared. "I love you." I whispered. "I love you too." He spoke into my hair.
