Psychological Scars (Dean Ambrose Fanfic) Sequel to Ten Tonne Skeleton.

Old friendships never die - Part 12

Dean's hand shook as he re-read the two sickening words, scribbled across the miniature piece of paper. He recognized that hand writing. It was from the Devil himself, Sami, but how did he get the letter to Dean? So many questions circled around Dean's mind. He jumped suddenly, when he saw Seth walk into the room.

"Hey man, you alright?" Seth looked confused as to why Dean was so shook up.

"Yeah, um I was just daydreaming and you scared me." Dean laughed. It wasn't a complete lie.

Seth passed Dean his coffee and they spent the next five minutes sat in silence, sipping away at their hot drinks.

"Who was the letter from?" Seth asked. Dean instantly started to worry. He didn't want to burden Seth with more of his problems.

"Oh, uh It was just someone from CZW saying congrats on leaving Sami and everything."

"That's nice. I'll have to meet him one day, he seems to be the only person from that company who was nice to you." Seth sighed.

"Yeah." The room fell silent once again. "So where are AJ and Roman?"

"They're downstairs. Roman just got up, but AJ is still asleep. You need to force him to wake up. The guy never stops sleeping, I swear." Seth laughed. "Hey, do you wanna go to the WWE live show that's on tonight? You can catch up with a few old friends."

"Yeah, that sounds good." Dean replied. He hadn't talked to Kevin Owens in ages and he hoped that he could bump into him for a chat.

"Cool. We've got a long time before the show so what do you wanna do?" Seth asked, suddenly ready to face the day.

"Can we just stay in and watch movies?" Dean really enjoyed watching movies.

"Of course." Seth smiled.

Roman and AJ went to the gym before work, so Dean and Seth had the afternoon to themselves. They had lunch and watched movies.

They left to make their way to the live show. They weren't going to be watching it from the audience's perspective, they were going backstage.

As soon as they opened the door to the locker room, they were greeted with a roar of 'Heys' and 'Oh my gods.' The numerous men that filled the room had a look of disbelief on their faces. They hadn't seen or heard from Dean in months.

When Owens saw his best friend standing at the door he ran over and gave Dean a big hug. It was an emotional moment for the two men.

"I missed you, man." Kevin said, holding onto his friend just in case he decided to leave again.

"I missed you too, Kev." Dean smiled. It felt great to be back. The two men finally finished hugging.

"Where were you? Why didn't you call?" Kevin asked, wanting to know why Dean had been ignoring him for the past five months.

"I was in a few places, but mostly in Denver, Colorado. And I couldn't call because I didn't have a phone." Dean sighed. Kevin could sense that something wasn't right and he knew that Dean wanted to tell him, but he didn't want the unwanted attention from the rest of the locker room.

"Wanna go to catering?" Owens asked. Dean nodded.

Once they found a hidden away seat in the cafeteria, the story telling began.

"So, I joined a wrestling company called CZW just over a month ago. That's how I met Sami, my ex-fiance." Dean began. Kevin listened intently.

"That relationship was just a train wreck from the get go, but I was too much of a fool to see it. Sami made me change my name, so that no one could find me and he wouldn't let me have a phone. He said you guys were bad and for a short amount of time, I believed him." Dean sighed.

"Wow, I wasn't expecting that. I thought you had gone to Mexico or something." Kevin laughed, causing his friend to laugh as well.

"Well, he pretty much controlled me for a month and then Seth somehow found me. He came to one of the shows with AJ and Roman. I freaked out on them and ran off. Then they kept trying to find me because they knew what was happening and eventually they helped me, told the police about everything."

"You've been through a lot then." Kevin said, not knowing how to approach the situation. "But I'm glad that you're back and that you're no longer with that guy. He sounds like a jerk."

"Yeah, he was." Dean laughed. "Anyway, what have you been up to recently?"

"Not much, Found out my wife was pregnant, so that's something to be excited about."

"Dude, that's awesome!" Dean smiled. "There's gonna be a mini Kevin."

"That sounds terrifying." Owens laughed. "But yeah, I can't wait to meet the little one. Only 3 months to go."

"Do you know the gender yet?"

"Yeah, it's a boy." 

"Aww, you're gonna have a little boy. That's so cute." Dean was happy for his friend. "Do you think he'll follow in your footsteps and become a wrestler?"

"I hope not." Kevin laughed. "This job is way too much effort."

The two men spent another hour talking, before they headed to the gorilla. Kevin had a match against Sami Zayn.

Dean found Seth, AJ and Roman in the gorilla, watching Kevin's match on one of the monitors.

"Hey." Dean greeted them.

"Hey Dean, we thought we'd lost you." Seth laughed.

"Nah, I was just catching up with Owens."

"That's nice, did he tell you about the baby?"

"Yeah." Dean smiled. "It's gonna be a mini Kevin."

Dean and Seth wished Roman and AJ luck for their match that they had up next. The two men were facing each other in the main event along side their tag mates.

The match was fun to watch and it really caught Dean's attention. Their moves were performed perfectly. He had forgotten what technical wrestling looked like. He was so use to doing the violent kind.

After the match all four men said their goodbyes. Roman and AJ were travelling to the next state ready for the next show, so Seth and Dean wouldn't see them until the next week.

Seth and Dean made their way home and headed to bed. It had been a long, but eventful day for both of them.

The next day, Dean awoke and made his way downstairs. Seth was still asleep. The first thing Dean saw when he passed the front door, was an envelope laying on the door mat.

The address on the front was hand written and Dean knew straight away what it was. It was another letter from Sami. He wanted to throw it away, but curiosity got the better of him. He made sure that Seth was definitely asleep, before tearing the envelope open and taking out the piece of paper from inside.

Just like the previous morning, his heart raced as he read the words, and then his heart stopped altogether.

'I miss you baby, I can see that you're getting close to that kid with the tight pants and the black hair. If you get any closer to him, I'll kill him and then I'll kill you.'
