The air rushed out of my lungs as Aksana dropped me into my back. She dropped onto my knee and I pulled it in and used my other leg to kick her in the face.
She stumbled back and I took it as a perfect chance to strike. She tapped out after I used my submission hold. I fell back and held onto the top rope.
AJ came running out and before anyone could stop her, she had attacked me. She focused on my knee. Finally she left, slinging the divas championship belt over her shoulder.
By the time I'd reached the trainer's room, I was breathing heavily and I felt as though my heart was in my ears. And just my luck. The shield were all in there getting a checkup. I willed for the redness in my face to go down even by a bit, but it wouldn't
"Jesus Christ!" Dean cried and pushed the trainer away from him. He hurried over to me and tried to help me
"I'm fine" I huffed and limped over to one of the stretchers
"I'll be right with you ms. Ambrose" the trainer nodded and moved into Roman. Dean fussed over me and I kept pushing him away
"Stop it!" I finally shouted at him "just leave me alone!"
"You heard her" AJ scoffed as made her way over to Seth.
"I suddenly feel so much better" I growled.
"She's just a worthless loser" AJ giggled as I was walking out. It took everything I had to stay out of there.
I can't wait till the title match. Them she'll see what I'm really made of.
•~•~•~•
I sighed and stood under the stream of hot water. My knee was numbed from how long the ice was on it.
I turned the shower off after about half an hour in it. I got dressed and grabbed a powerade from the fridge. Today was the day I return home. Every other time I wasn't in a reserved hotel for WWE, I was in a booked hotel in Iowa.
Corny. I know. But it was the only place I figured they wouldn't look for me.
Besides. I haven't seen Henry in so long.
Stepping out of the taxi was harder then I thought it would have been.
"Dean?" I called into the house. There was no response besides the scurry of paws. I got chocked up as Henry gave me hugs and kisses.
"I missed you!" I cooed. I felt my eyes fluttering. I was tired. "How about a nap Henry?" He nodded his big furry head and followed me up the stairs.
I winced as I walked into my room. All the boxes were still packed and beginning to collect dust
"Hold that thought Henry" I smiled. I opened some boxes and began putting stuff away. I took a step back to look at the shield decor on my wall
I guess I never realised how big it was until now
"Should I take it down?" I asked Henry. He trotted over an stood next to me. He tilted his head one way, then the other. He erupted into a barking fit and ran down the stairs.
I hurried to the window and saw Dean getting out of the car. Roman followed close behind and Seth with AJ wrapped on his arm.
What?!
I closed my door and locked it. Why is AJ here? How did I not see this coming? my breath became shaky and my room began to spin. I had the sudden urge to burn everything.
I sat on the edge of my bed with my head in my hands.
"I'm so tired" I could hear Seth yawn. "I'm going to go have a nap"
"You do that!" Dean called after him. Footsteps. Shuffling. The doorknob turned. Well rattled. Because it was locked.
"Uhhh Dean?!" Seth called. Had he been sleeping in here? I grabbed a pillow and checked to see if it had his smell. Which it did.
"What?!" Dean called back
"Why is Indigo's door locked?!" Seth asked. More footsteps.
"What do you mean?" I stopped breathing. I unconsciously stood up and wandered over to the door. I opened it slowly and put my finger to my lips. I pulled the. In and locked it after them.
"I'm sorry" I whispered "I didn't know..."
"Your home" Dean smiled.
"I'm going to stay at a hotel" I shook my head "just get AJ out of here for five minutes while I leave"
"What?" Seth rose an eyebrow.
"Just please" I breathed out.
"I don't think so" Dean snorted and walked out the door "AJ you need to get out of my house"
Seth burst out laughing and pulled me down the stairs by my hand. I dragged my feet along
"What are you talking about?" she laughed as though he was joking
"I mean" Dean rolled hi eyes and I came into view "you need to go home. Like. NOT be here" I couldn't help but smirk as her mouth drop. She turned her gaze to me and glared.
"So you are choosing her over me?" AJ scoffed. The shield looked at each other before looking back at her and nodding.
She screamed in frustration and rage before storming out of the house.
"Hey a few things I should tell you..." Dean have me a small smile
"Uh oh" I waited for the bad news
"No noon nothing bad" he waved his hands "Roman just lives with us now"
"Oh..." That was... unexpected. "That isn't so bad" I looked around the room and tried to avert the eyes of the three men staring at me. "I think I'm gonna..." before I even finished I was out of there. Back in my room and sitting against the door.
What is wrong with me?
