Roman's Little Sister

TWENTY-NINE

            Desi

   By the time Dean and Seth got back from the gym, I was exhausted from crying.

  "Come on Darlin. We brought back food."

  "Thank you but, I'm not hungry." I say. My voice is hoarse from crying.

  "Nope. That's not what is happening. I understand you're upset and worried but you have to eat. We brought back your favorites, including that disgusting milkshake you like." Dean responds.

  "Look Dez,  Roman will come around. You'll see." Seth says. In truth I think he is trying to convince himself as well as me.

  "He's ignoring me. I went to his room and he wasn't there. I tried calling three times and it just rang. He's never going to forgive me. He asked me not to get involved with anyone in the company and I just completely ignored him." I explain.

  "Son of Bitch." Dean exclaims throwing his gym bag on the with enough force to knock the lamp over.

  "Cool it Dean!" Seth says through his teeth.

  "Are you seriously trying to play 'Peace Keeper' right now? Look at our girl Seth. This is bullshit and you know it!" Dean replies raising his voice as if to make sure he is getting his point across.

  "I see her but, us acting like a couple of angsty teenage boys isn't going to help the situation. We need to keep our heads for OUR girl." Seth spits back.

  Dean rakes his fingers through his hair as he paces back and forth while muttering under his breath.

  "We'll talk to him Dez. We'll make him understand how we all feel about each other. Dean and I will fix this. I promise." Seth says as he rubs my back trying to calm me down.

  "No. No, I appreciate the offer but, this is something that I have to take care of myself." I reply softly.

  I am still drained by the time we get to work. I know I have to find Roman and talk to him but, at the same time I am dreading the thought of actually doing so.

  Dean and Seth want to go with me to find him but, I finally got it through to them that seeing all of us together wouldn't be the best thing to do right now. They finally relent and let me go on without them.

  I had looked everywhere trying to find him and still nothing. It was almost time for us to go out to the ring so I knew I would see him then.
At least I hoped he would be there.

  We're doing another segment with The Miz and Maryse and then Drew would come out after we get down to the ring.

  As we get into position to go out I spot Roman.

  I rush to him. "Roman! Roman, I know your mad and I am so sorry you found out tha..."

  "Not now!" He spits out without even looking at me. His nostrils flare as the anger rolls off of him.

  "Roman please just let me explain. Please!" I beg him and he still just stands there.

"Some of us are trying to work Destiny."

"Ok. Then after. Can we talk after our segment? Just me and you." I ask.

"I don't know. We'll see." he responds before our music hits.

  We finish our segment and Roman starts walking away. He doesn't speak to any of us. I shrug off Dean and Seth and go after him.

"Roman. Please. I just want to talk."

"I think you did enough talking last night." He retorts.

  "I was drunk Roman. I didn't know what I was saying." I explain.

" So, you're not fucking my 2 best friends like a common whore? Is that what you're trying to say?" He bites back at me.

I yank my head back as if he had slapped me. Shocked at his tone and words. I've seen Roman mad before but this. This was a different Roman all together.

"That's what I thought. I can't talk about this right now." and with that he turned and walked away.

  I just stood there watching my brother turn into a complete stranger and it was all my fault.
