February 12:

"Charlotte?"

"Yeah?" Charlotte looks over at me before turning her eyes back to the road.

"How's Sasha?"

"Banks? She's good, why?"

"Good."

"What's up?"

"Oh, nothing."

"Bullshit Jayden, what's up?"

"I don't think she likes me."

"Banks is a nice person, she just doesn't know you yet so she's acting hostile. Don't worry, Rollins. You're a nice person and she'll warm up to you eventually."

"Alright." Charlotte laughs slightly before placing a hand on my thigh.

"Everyone likes you, Jayden. You're kind and smart, extremely talented, funny, and gorgeous." Charlotte looks over and gives me a sincere smile. My eyes well up and I give Charlotte a hug. "Now stop distracting the driver." she laughs.

______________

"Hey Colby, how ya feeling?"

"Eh, I can't believe she would do that!"

"I know, I'll talk to her, ok?"

"Alright, I should go. It's getting late here."

"I miss you, bro."

"I miss you too, Jay."

"Bye, love you."

"Love you too Jayden, bye." I hang up and wipe at my eyes.

"Hey, are you ok?" I look up to see Sasha standing there. I smile and nod.

"I'm good, thanks."

"So you're the Rollins everyone's talking about."

"I think that might be Seth." she laughs.

"Yeah, right now but a few weeks ago you got all the hype. Why aren't you wrestling?"

"I sustained a knee injury and required surgery immediately. I'm getting back into training though, Charlotte promised to help with the rehab."

"Well, whenever Charlotte's busy, I'm happy to help."

"Thanks, Sasha." she smiles and turns around, walking out. I instantly feel this sinking feeling in my chest and I shake my head. "No, no, no! I refuse it!" I try to distract myself by having a shower but I just break down. "No, God please, I can't do this again!" I scream as I begin crying. "No, God, no!"

Dean Ambrose:

"Dean!" I turn around quickly to see Sasha running towards me. "Dean, it's Jayden." I instantly become worried. "She was screaming and crying, she won't open the bathroom door. I'm worried."

"Which room is she in?" Sasha grabs my hand and we run to her room. Sasha opens the door and I could hear the water running.

"No! I can't do this again!" a voice screams from the bathroom. I pound on the door but no answer.

"Sasha, I need a bobby pin." she takes one from her hair and I unlock the door. I run to Jayden, collapsing beside her as I pull her to my chest. I place my forehead on the side of her head and hold her close. "Sasha, call Seth. Tell him it's an emergency." she nods and I toss her my phone before going back to a very upset Jayden.

Seth Rollins:

I grab my phone and answer it, eyes still closed.

"Seth, it's Sasha. I'm using Dean's phone." her voice was on edge.

"What's wrong?"

"Its Jayden, she's crying and she's screaming. Dean's trying to calm her down now."

"What happened?"

"I heard her get off the phone with you and she was sort of crying and we talked about her getting back into the ring and I was willing to train her and then I left and I forgot to mention something but when I got back I heard screaming from the room. She was pleading to God to not let it happen again." the phone just slips from my hand as I sit in shock. Jayden's been clean for two months.

I pick my phone off the ground. "Sorry Sasha, I will be there in a couple of days."

"Alright." she hangs up and I get up. I put some pants on and a shirt and I call Paul.

"Seth, what's wrong?"

"Its Jayden. She's losing control again."

"Who told you?"

"Dean and Sasha Banks."

"I'm sorry, Seth."

"When does this tour end?"

"In a few days." I sigh.

"Alright, then I need to go home. I need go be with Jayden."

"Absolutely." I hang up and pace back and forth. My phone begins ringing again.

"Hello?"

"Seth, it's Jayden."

"Are you ok?"

"I'm sorry."

"Don't apologize, it's ok."

"I - I don't know what happened. I don't wanna slip back."

"I know, I know. I'll be home in a few days. Put Dean on the phone."

"What's up?"

"Stay with her, I mean it."

"I wouldn't leave her."

"Do you love her?" silence, "do you?"

"Yes, I di."

"Then whatever you do, no matter what it takes, keep her sane. Do you understand?"

"Yes."

"I mean it, Ambrose. I couldn't live with myself if she went back."

"I couldn't either."

"I'll call back later."

"Alright." I hang up and sit on my bed. I look over at my laptop and smile as a picture of Jayden and I popped up.

"I can't lose her again." I mumble to myself, "never again."
