Fans' tweets

'So is @TheEricaAmbrose and @WWERollins together?!'

'Won't @TheDeanAmbrose freak out once he hears about #Rollica?!'

Today we were in Pensacola, Florida for RAW. We arrived at the arena for RAW extra early so we could warm up. But the fans were already lined up outside, waiting to come in. I swear, the fans these days are dedicated.

"I like Florida." AJ pointed out.

"Me too. It's nice out here." I agreed.

"Erica, you and Seth have to get together! You two are absolutely perfect for one another!" Nikki exclaimed.

I still haven't told Jon about my relationship with Seth. In fact, I didn't tell anyone. Including the girls.

"Why? I don't even like him like that." I protested.

"Yes you do. We can see it in your eyes. It's pretty obvious actually." Brie pointed out.

"I don't have any serious feelings towards Seth okay?" I lied.

"If this is about that Derek guy.." AJ started but I interrupted her.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. How the hell did you guys find out about Derek?" I questioned them.

"You talk to yourself a lot." Natalya mumbled.

I sighed and shook my head. "Don't follow me."

"Where are you going?" Nikki asked.

"Nowhere. Just stay here." I muttered and left the Divas Locker room.

I roamed the empty halls of the arena, arms crossed. I walked through the curtain and stared at the empty seats. The producers were still setting up the ring so I decided not to interrupt. Instead, I hopped over the barricade and sat in one of the empty seats.

I messed around with the moon bracelet around my wrist. I touched the multi colored crystal necklace that rested around my neck. I felt a tear roll down my cheek as memories from my past flooded back into my mind.

Flashback::

"Happy Birthday, babe!" Derek exclaimed planting a kiss on my lips.

"Aww, thanks Derek you're the best." I said as he gave me a piece of my birthday cake.

"Don't move, I have a special surprise for you." He said and disappeared.

I smiled and waited patiently. I ate some of the homemade cake that Derek had baked for me. Derek soon came back holding three small boxes in his hands.

"First one." he said then gave me one of them.

I opened it up and it revealed a beautiful crystal necklace. I gasped at its beauty and looked up at Derek.

"Oh my gosh. It's beautiful! Thank you so much!" I said and gave him a hug.

"There's still two more boxes you have to open." He said smiling. Derek handed me the second box.

I opened it up and it held a small moon bracelet. Again, I thanked him for the wonderful present.

"Now this one is extra special." Derek mentioned showed me the their box.

"Erica, the first time I laid eyes on you, I knew that you were the one. The one who I would spending my entire life with. The one who I would be growing old with. The one girl who would bear my children." Derek knelt down on one knee. He opened up the box and it revealed a diamond ring.
