HATE THAT I LOVE YOU

FORTY SIX

Steph's POV

"I can't look at you right now. Let alone let you touch me." I muttered pulling away from him.

"Steph please." He sighed. I shook my head and grabbed my suitcase and made my way out of the door. I shut the door behind me and sat down in the front porch and cried even more as I held the ice pack on my nose. I heard the front door open and didn't even bother to look at the person. The person sighed and sat next to me and hugged me. I sighed and rested my head against his shoulder.

"Where are you gonna go Steph?" He asked.

"To a hotel until the week is over or something Seth." I muttered.

"You can stay at my other place." He suggested.

"You have another place?" I asked.

"Just a small house. To get away from them at times when I'm annoyed or want to be alone."

"Oh well uh sure. Thank you so much Seth I really appreciate it." I smiled weakly.

"Anything for you pal." He chuckled and ruffled my hair. I got up as he ran back inside to grab his keys. I hopped inside the car and waited. Roman walked out and I looked ahead avoiding his gaze as he made his way to the car. He opened the door and stared at me. I slowly turned around and looked at him.

"Where are you going?" He asked.

"None of your business." I muttered.

"Steph please just listen to me. I'm sorry." He sighed.

"You're full of shit Joe. If you still have feelings for that girl, then go back to her. This wouldn't have happened if you'd just listened. I'm done I told you what was gonna happen, so I'm done. That's it."

"You just want to be done with me so you can go running back to Dean. I totally get it." He chuckled shaking his head sounding so stupid and bitter.

"Don't try and turn this around on me, you're the one that fucked up and cheated, not me! I was the one who put my issues aside to actually invest in you!"

"Then how come when he cheated you took him back? When I cheated you don't want me back? You don't want anything to do with me?" He asked. I stayed silent. I wanted to say something but nothing was coming out.

"Roman please go away." I sighed.

"No I wanna hear you say it. Tell me you still love him, even while you were with me." He growled.

"Roman, please go." I raised my voice higher.

"No Steph! Not until you give me a valid reason!" He screamed.

"Because I love him okay? I love him you idiot! I- it's not that hard to give up on him because I will always love him! Is that what you wanted to hear? "I screamed.

"See, then maybe it was a good thing I slept with Leah." He walked back into the house.

"I'm so glad I'm leaving this group, I refuse to work with a bunch of dysfunctional people."

"Wait, what?" Seth asked me.

"Hunter and Stephanie want me to get into the title picture and in order to do that I have to leave. I had a choice whether I wanted to stay but I chose to leave. I'm sure you guys understand." I explained.

Roman's jaw clenched but he didn't say anything. He just turned around and walked back into the house again, slamming the door. I shook my head and put my head down as Seth drove off. We didn't say anything to each other throughout out the whole ride.

Finally we arrived at this small house. I got out and grabbed my suitcase. Seth handed me a key and I thanked him.

"Hey." He called. I turned around slowly as he got out of the car.

"Proud of you. You know, making it this far." He smiled pulling me into a hug. I sighed and hugged him back tightly. He kissed my forehead and pulled away.

"Thank you again Seth." I smiled weakly. He nodded and kissed my forehead again before walking to his car and driving off. I sighed and opened the door and looked at his house. It had the perfect amount of room. I shut the door and locked it as I took a look at the house.

A flat screen tv, couches, a normal house had. I walked into the bedroom , and sat my things down on the bed. I laid down noticing it smelled just like Seth's scent and it smelled good of course. I smiled and buried myself under the blankets and fell into a deep sleep.

About a few hours later I woke up yawning. I slowly got up and stretched until I heard some bones crack. I honestly needed that nap. I felt somewhat refreshed but not any better from Roman. I walked to the front room and heard thunder outside, rain thumping on the window which was also soothing.

I sighed and turned on the tv and looked at Seth's DVD collections. Mostly Wwe documentaries and of course Star Wars. I chuckled and grabbed my phone, deciding to order Chinese. I put in the Tyler black documentary and plopped down on the couch. As I sat there, I heard a knock on the door. I groaned and got up from my comfortable position and walked to the door.

Expecting it to be Seth checking up on me, there he stood right in front of me with his hands shoved in his front pockets.

Dean.

"Dean." I whispered.

"Can I uh come in? We need to talk." He asked. I hesitated but nodded and moved aside so he could walk in.

"We need to talk, about us."
