Haunted By The Past (Sami and Adrian)

Chapter 11 - I Have Eyes Everywhere

"How the fuck did that happen?"
"We can't tell you Dean. When you get out of here, I can take you to where it happened if you like?"
"Yeah, thanks Randy."
"You're welcome lunatic. Hopefully you'll remember. Just remember it might not help ok?"
"I know, I know."

*Two weeks later*

It has been two weeks and Dean was out the hospital and back on the road with everyone else. They all kept a close eye on him, just in case anything happened. As promised, Randy took him back to where he was jumped but it didn't help at all. He still couldn't remember anything.

He wasn't in the ring. He wouldn't be for at least a month and a half so the Authority being the Authority, he was stripped of the WWE title.

He understood why they took the title away, he wouldn't be able to defend the title. Be a fighting champion like he wanted to be but he was pissed. He always defended that title with honour. He gave it prestige, the prestige it deserved. He upheld it like all the other past champions. He made the title, not the title making him. He proved himself worthy, worthy of a long title reign. Now, it had been taken away because of Coreys little friends attacking him. His pathetic thugs had cost him his title. Dean will make sure he'll pay for that. You don't cost him something, something he'd worked his life for.

During the segment, he had looked through the crowd and had spotted a familiar face, Luna. Their eyes locked together for a moment as they both gave each other a small smile. After he had to hand over the title he had looked over at her again, his blue eyes threatening tears. The young woman gifted him a small smile. A small smile that said I'm sorry that this is happening to you.

He came backstage after that segment avoiding everyone. He knew this was coming but now it had happened, man he felt terrible. Like he had failed people. Failed the fans. Failed his friends. Failed himself.

He decided to take some time to himself. Wallow in his own self pity you could say. Feel sorry for himself. He was pathetic really. He still couldn't remember when he was jumped, that was a few weeks ago. He remembered Randy taking him back to where it happened but it didn't help whatsoever. He still couldn't remember and now he had lost his title. What next? What or who was he going to lose next? Someone going to hurt Sami, Adrian or Randy? Hell, even Seth and Roman?

Nobody better touch any of his friends, he'll make them pay. He'd make sure they would wish that they were never born. He'd been alone for about half an hour when he decided to head back to the locker room. He couldn't let them worry about him for too long.

He opened the locker room door to find his three friends there waiting for him. Sami instantly got up and hugged him.
"It's ok Dean. You'll get it back."
"One day." He replied as he returned Sami's embrace.
"It will happen. We'll get involved and make it happen. Don't you worry."
"I want to win it back myself."
"Ok, just know we're gonna be here for you ok?"
"Yeah." Deans phone went off. Randy chucked it to him. He opened the new message to see a photo. A photo of... Luna. A photo of her standing up, cheering in the crowd. She looked so happy, so cheerful. She had no idea that she was being watched. There was a caption that read:

I have eyes everywhere. Eyes everywhere and on everyone. I hope you'll protect your little girlfriend. She's such a sweet an innocent girl. I wouldn't want her to get accidently hurt.

Corey.

"Luna." He dropped the phone.
"What about Luna?" Sami asked.
"He's watching her. She's in the crowd. I need to get her backstage."
"He, as in Corey?" Sami voice stumbled over saying his name. Sami picked up Dean's phone, took a quick look before handing the phone back to Dean.
"Yeah I gotta go-"
"Hey guys." Kevin came into the locker room.
"Hi, gotta go." Dean breath had sped up, he was panicking. He couldn't bare it if anything happened to her.
"Ok." Dean quickly ran out the room.
"What's up with Dean? He hungry again? The guy is always hungry."
"No. Coreys just sent him a message with a picture of Luna. The nurse he got close to at the hospital. She's here tonight." Adrian explained.
"And Coreys here? Where?"
"Why would you care?"
"Sami, he hurt you. I know we weren't on the best of terms but your my best friend. Maybe you don't consider me that and I understand but I still think of you as my best friend and I never wanted to hurt you or see you hurt by anyone. I don't want to see any of your friends hurt either. Sami, why won't you believe me?"
"You know why."
"Then let me show you how sorry I am. Let me be here for you guys more often. Please, Sami. Let me show you how sorry I am."
"Let me think about it. I'm not promising anything. Don't expect anything from me."
"Sami. Thank you. All I ever wanted was to have a small chance at us at least being friends again."

*With Dean*

Dean's Pov

I am panicking right now. I need to make sure she's ok. Make sure she's safe. I want to keep her close, I need to protect her from Corey. I know what's he's capable of. I'm not going to let anything happen, not to her. She was there while I was in hospital. She stayed with me, kept me company, looked after me. I owe it to her to protect her from him.

I convinced one of the security guards to go into the crowd and bring her backstage. He was only gone five minutes bit it felt like an eternity. Anything could happen in those five minutes. He could have gotten to her in those five minutes. He could have done anything. I just need to have her close. Keep her safe...

He finally comes around the corner with her. My heart speeds up for a moment, until I realise she's ok. She's not hurt or anything. She's fine, she hasn't been physically hurt. Thank god. A smile crawls onto my face. I jog towards her and pull her into my arms. I will protect her, even of its the last thing I do. No one will harm her.

"Thank god you're ok. Has anyone bugged you? Anyone at all." He asked, taking a closer look.
"No, nothing. Dean what's up?"
"Remember I told you about that Corey guy?"
"Yeah."
"He's watching us... Stalking us I guess. He's here and he sent me a message. A picture message. It was of you... He's been watching you too..."

## Sorry it's kinda crappy. I'll make up for it. Little spoiler, the next chapter will have a flashback of how Dean and Luna became close friends in the hospital. :) :)
