Trust Comes First (A WWE Fanfic)

Chapter 91 Jackson

"Are you ok?" Dean asked, gazing from me to Jackson.

I put my hand on his arm, looking up at him nodding my head. A sob escaped from my mouth and I took off, covering the short distance in seconds. Throwing my arms around him I burst into tears, my whole frame shaking. His hands were hanging limply until finally they wrapped around me, holding me tightly. I could feel him taking shaky breaths as his hand found the back of my head, gripping me tightly. I finally managed to calm down enough to wipe my eyes, thankful I had waterproof make-up. Leaning back I looked up into the eyes that were almost an exact copy of mine.

"Jackson what the hell are you doing here?" I asked, holding his face in my hands, seeing the moisture in his eyes.

"Never mind that. What are you doing here?" he asked and I frowned, suddenly realizing he must not have known I was back.

Roman came up beside us and Jax looked over, a grin on his face. They clasped hands, pounding each other on the back as they greeted each other for the first time in years.

"Woo you got bigger buddy." Jackson grinned, slapping Roman on the arm.

"Comes with the job." Roman answered before turning his gaze on me, "So good surprise?"

I gazed up at Roman, and wondered how I got so lucky to have someone like him in my life. Seth and Dean were looking at me too, smiled on their faces. I grabbed the three of them the best I could, pulling them into a hug. I pressed a kiss to Roman's cheek and then Seth's their scruff rough against my cheek.

"You guys are literally the greatest human beings on the planet." I announced, holding them tightly.

"I don't really do group hugs." Dean mumbled and I let go, holding onto him, pressing a kiss against his cheek as well, "What was that for? I didn't do anything."

"Doesn't matter. You're still one of the greatest." I grinned, letting them go and wrapping an arm around Jax.

"So are you going to introduce me?" Jax asked, looking down at me fondly.

"Oh shit my bad." I grinned, looking over at my team mates, "Jackson this is Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose. Guys this is my brother Jackson."

"Hey man. I'm the one who got security to get you here while we distracted Lila here." Seth winked at me, making me roll my eyes as they shook hands.

"I'm Dean, the one who had no idea what was going on." Dean held out his hand and I let out a little chuckle.

"Nice to meet you guys. So do you wrestle with Roman?" he asked, throwing an arm over my shoulder.

"Ya we're a team, The Shield." Roman nodded, and my eyes darted around glancing at each of their faces for a second.

"So what are you doing here? I didn't even know you and Roman were talking again. Are you here to watch him?" Jax asked, and I saw Seth open his mouth but I cut him off quickly.

"Ya he's going up against another group. I'm just here for moral support." I blurted out, seeing Dean's eyebrows go nearly into his hair, "I guess he just wanted to surprise me with you."

"Oh well it's good to see you guys together again. It was pretty brutal when you two split which I should be giving you a punch for." He pointed at Roman and I smacked his hand down.

"Jackson..." I said warningly.

"No it's fine. I get it. I promised to look out for your sister and I didn't. If you want to still, lay one on me." Roman offered, eyes locked with my brother.

Jax stared at Roman for a moment before shaking his head, "Nah, it's the past now, plus I think she would deck me right after." He shook his head, staring down at me.

"Damn rights." I grinned, holding him close.

"So I'm guessing we have time to kill before tonight so what to do?" Jackson asked, looking around at each of us.

"Well we thought you two might want to spend some time together and we could meet up later before the show starts." Seth spoke up and I leaned my head against Jackson's shoulder.

"Sounds like a plan. I've got Roman's number so I'll text you guys later." Jax nodded and turned to go.

"I'll be right there Jax, just need to grab my hat." I told him, walking back to the table, the three guys walking behind me.

I took my time, grabbing my hat and placing it on my head. They crowded around me, looking down at me with identical expressions of wonder. I knew what they wanted instantly.

"Why did you lie?" Roman whispered, and I glanced over at Jax who was on his phone waiting.

"I don't know. I just opened my mouth and that's what came out." I whispered back, seeing Dean's face break into a grin, "Oh stop it with that face."

"You're gonna have to tell him you know. Before we go out there tonight and before your match against Becky." Seth rubbed his jaw, beard getting long.

"I know Seth, you're not helping." I growled, wishing I had just told the truth, "I should go."

"See you later doll." Seth grinned, and I punched him in the chest making him grunt.

Throwing a grin over my shoulder I jogged up to Jax who shoved his phone in his pocket. Linking arms with him we headed through the stadium, making our way outside and to a waiting cab. I gave them the name of the restaurant I had looked up earlier, wanting to try it out.

"So you seem awfully chummy with them." Jax commented, hand on the back of the seat.

"They're alright guys." I nodded, knowing what he was asking.

"I'm serious though October. I'm glad to see you and Roman reconciled. 4 years is a long time to go without talking." He smiled and I gave him a weak one back, wondering how to tell him.

"I know, it feels great and we've been catching up a lot." I nodded, drumming my fingers on the seat, "So how are you doing? I'm sorry I haven't been around in a while. I keep meaning to go and see you but I never do it."

"I know. It's the same with me. I always say I'll go out for a weekend to see you but then something always comes up." He frowned, running a hand over his longer black hair.

"You need a haircut brother." I laughed, tugging on a lock, brushing against his shoulders.

"You're one to talk." He flicked my hair and I nodded, knowing he was right.

We made it to the restaurant and went inside, conversation a steady stream and as we ordered and ate. I kept on thinking about trying to come out with the truth but I couldn't do it, feeling guiltier and guiltier as the meal went on. Despite that we had a good time, hours passing as quickly as seconds. Jax insisted on paying and we exited the restaurant. He had his phone in his hand as he hailed us a cab. Getting in we went back to the stadium and I chewed a nail quietly, wondering if I should just blurt it out.

"Roman and the guys are on the bus so I take it we can head there?" Jax asked, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Sure sounds like a plan." I nodded, folding my hands in my lap.
