Moving On

Losing Everything

**The Next Day**:

 Dean woke the next morning with a hangover, he couldn't remember much about the night before, except for the fight with Seth and Roman and ending it with them. The whole day he avoided them, knowing they'd want to talk about it, they always did! That night at the arena Dean ignored them, the tension between the three of them so thick you could cut it with a knife. Seth and Roman wanted to talk to him so badly, but they knew he hated them and it killed them. As they changed into their ring gear someone knocked on their locker room door, Dean being the only one changed answered it, a crew member stood in front of him.

 "Yeah?" Dean asked.

 "Mr. Helmsley wants to see you in his office right now Mr. Ambrose." The guy said.

 "Just me?" Dean asked confused.

 "Just you."

 "Alright, thanks." Dean said as he left without saying anything to the guys.

 A couple minutes later Dean arrived at Hunter's office, he knocked before he went inside to find Hunter alone.

 "You wanted to see me Hunter?"

 "Yeah, have a seat Dean we need to talk." Hunter answered.

 "This doesn't sound good." Dean said as he sat.

 "Look Dean, I'll just get right to it! You know I like and respect you, you're a hell of a wrestler!" Hunter said smiling.

 "Okay, now I know it's bad if you're pulling out the compliments!" Dean said.

 "Dean, this isn't something I thought I'd have to do."

 "Am I fired?" Dean asked. 

 "No, but I' am going to have to suspend you."

 "What the hell Hunter? Why?" Dean demanded angrily.

 "Look Dean, we know you went through hell with King, and..."

 "You have no idea what I went through Helmsley!" Dean said angrily cutting Hunter off.

 "Like I was saying, we gave you a grace period to deal with it. We turned a blind eye to your actions, hell Steph went to bat for you a lot the last few weeks with her father! You've become a liability Dean, I'm sorry. Until you get and stay sober, you're suspended starting tonight!" 

 "This is bullshit Hunter! My drinking isn't out of control, I..."

 "Save it Dean, the decision is final!" Hunter said cutting Dean off.

 "You're the boss!" Dean said angrily.

 "Dean, listen to me and take my advice! Take this time to get better, rest up, get your head clear and come back here ready to kick some ass!" Hunter said, as Dean stood and walked out without saying anything.

 After leaving Hunter's office Dean returned to their locker room, he was beyond pissed! First Seth and Roman were bitching at him, and now Hunter, did he miss the memo about it being Attack Dean Month? He went inside, the room was empty so he quickly changed and began packing his bag when Seth and Roman returned.

 "Dean? What are you doing?" Seth asked seeing him back in his street clothes.

 "Don't act like you don't know!" Dean answered.
