Hey guys! Sorry it took so long to upload, my schedule has been so busy lately. The fanfic is going a bit slow at the moment but the interesting stuff should start happening in the next chapter. Thanks for reading and enjoy!

Jon awoke with a brain splitting headache. He could hear the echo of his heartbeat pulsing around his weakened body. He needed to leave the house in a few hours so that he could fly over to Iowa. The thought of being in that State scared him. He didn't want to see one of his previous acquaintances. Sami assured him that he wouldn't let anyone go near him if it came down to it. There was nothing to worry about really. He had changed his name. No one knew who he was. He was safe.

But that didn't stop the constant paranoia rattling around his mind.

Seth was making progress with his injury. He spent three hours at the gym everyday and a further two hours at the wrestling academy. His knee no longer hurt when he walked and he was pretty much ready to get back into the ring. He just had to wait one more month. 

The thought of going back to the WWE was always on his mind. The sound of the crowd cheering or booing him was amazing. It was his way of coping with life. The WWE audience was his drug. 

Another thing that was always on his mind was, Dean. Had his former lover really changed his name and gotten engaged? Was he happy in his new relationship? He did look pretty happy in the picture that Seth saw. Seth didn't want to ruin their relationship, he wasn't like that. He just wanted to talk to Dean and see if he really did love his new fiance.

Seth had thought about finding someone new. He didn't want to keep sulking over the loss of Dean. He had been going on a few dates with different men to see if he liked any of them, but there was only one who could fill the void in his heart. And that person was getting married to someone else. His plans of finding a new boyfriend were put on hold the moment he saw the flier for CZW.

The CZW show in Iowa was only two days away and Seth had to make sure he was ready to go, mentally. There was a large chance he would see Dean, he hoped to talk to him, but he knew that it probably wouldn't happen. In a way he kind of thought that 'Jon Moxley' might not even be Dean. It could just be someone who looks like him. There was no reason for him to change his name, so why had he?

Seth had text AJ and Roman, voicing his thoughts. The two men replied quickly and told him to grow up and go to the show. He had to speak to Dean. It was obvious that he was the man on the flier.

The day passed quickly and before he knew it, Seth had only one day to prepare for the CZW show. What would he wear? Where would he sit? Maybe the back row would be the best option. It was most likely going to be in a warehouse so there wouldn't be many people.

What if Dean doesn't want to talk to him? They didn't exactly leave each other on good terms. Dean could easily just put his middle fingers up at the younger man and tell him to 'Fuck off.' Seth deserved it, that's for sure, but he still hoped that it wouldn't happen. He just wanted a civilized conversation.

Roman and AJ would probably speak to Dean if Seth chickened out, so really there was nothing to worry about. All he had to do was wait.

Seth decided to head to the gym and start his harsh work out session.

At the gym Seth ran into a guy who looked familiar. He had black, spiked up hair and was built up quite big. Seth felt as if he had seen the man somewhere before, but was too shy to approach him and ask. 

Seth finished off his work out and headed to the wrestling academy. He couldn't shake off the thought that he had seen that man at the gym before. He thought long and hard before he finally realized that he was the guy on the CZW flier. Sam Calaway, or something like that. On the way to the gym Seth checked his twitter to see that the wrestlers of CZW had arrived in Iowa. The tweet said:

'Get ready for August 14th, The power couple of CZW are teaming up against the Garden State Gods in tomorrow nights main event!'

Underneath was a picture of Dean and the guy that Seth saw at the gym.

That was Dean's fiance. 

The sudden realization shocked Seth. He had just been in the gym, working out next to Dean's fiance. Was his ex-lover really that close to him?

Tonight was the night that Seth, AJ and Roman attended the CZW show in Iowa. There were about 80 people in the warehouse altogether, getting ready to watch the wrestling. The three men had to wear hoodies and hats to hide their appearances, as they didn't want to be recognized.  

Seth was nervous. His stomach was doing flips and he started to sweat. It didn't help that he was wearing a jumper. Roman gave him some water to cool him down, but it didn't help much. He just wanted to get tonight over with. They were at the back, leaning against the wall, but they still got a good view of the ring.

The first half of the show went by quickly. The wrestlers were very talented and Seth wondered if they would ever sign a contract with WWE. Most of them seemed happy in CZW.

The main event match was next. The theme for the Switchblade Conspiracy started playing and Seth almost fainted when he saw Dean enter the room. It was definitely him. He was holding hands with Sami as they made their way to the ring. Once they got up onto the apron, they kissed and Seth felt his heart break all over again.

There were a few moments in the match were Seth had to look away. It was brutal. He couldn't bare to see Dean in so much pain. Towards the end of the match Dean looked up and made eye contact with Seth, a look of shock on his face. The distraction caused Dean to be rolled up into a pin and lose the match.

Sami looked angry at Dean and went to shout at him, until he followed Dean's direction of sight and saw Seth. The look of anger on his face intensified and he grabbed Dean, forcefully by the arm and dragged him backstage.

Dean hung his head down and looked at the floor the whole time.

Seth could see that something wasn't right. He knew Dean and he knew when he needed help.
