Charlie's Hero

Chapter 4

What did he just...? Did he just call me.....damaged? DAMAGED! Even though I wasn't in a good mental state and emotional state, didn't mean I liked being reminded of it.

I felt anger rising in me and suddenly had no interest in ever apologizing to him.

"Thanks. At least now I know the kind of guy you are outside the ring. But I don't think I've formally introduced myself." I stood up and picked up my glass of orange juice and took a sip. "I'm Charlie Doucet."

Then, without hesitation, I poured the nice on his head. I heard the Shield boys snigger behind me as I drenched Dean in orange juice.

I placed the glass down and smiled sweetly before walking out of the breakfast room.

*5 minutes later*

"YOU DID WHAT!?!" AJ exclaimed as I walked into our room and told her my previous events.

"I was pissed!" I said.

"Charlie, do you know who's gonna be pissed when he comes to his senses?" She asked. "Dean Ambrose. The exact Dean Ambrose that, before yesterday, you were terrified to even go near." She said.

"So? He'll be pissed. Why should that be any of my concern? And, as far as being scared goes, I don't think that'll be a problem for me anymore." I said.

"Wow, Charlie. But seriously, I would've payed to see that." She said.

I told her what happened the day before.

"You realize you ruined everything right?" AJ asked.

"What?" I pulled a confused face as she stared at me in disbelief.

"He totally has.....well....had a thing for you. Unless he still does." She said.

"Oh AJ, not you too. Emma has already come to that conclusion." I said.

"It's true." She said. "After everything you told me he did, it's so obvious."

"He called me damaged. Why would he say that if he was interested?" I asked.

"Well, you said you called him messed up." She said.

"Yeah, but....."

I started, but I paused. "I didn't think that would hurt him."

"Maybe calling you damaged was payback." AJ said. "I mean, what if it hurt his feelings?"

"I dont think Dean Ambrose even has feelings." I said.

"Why are you judging him so much, Charlie?" She asked.

"I don't know." I sighed stressfully. "I guess I wasn't thinking when I said what I said. I just figured I couldn't hurt him cause he's such a cold hearted person."

"What if he's not?" AJ asked.

I thought about this. I never thought of Dean Ambrose being anything, but a jerk. Maybe he wasn't as bad as I thought. Maybe I should think twice about apologizing.

I didn't say anything else. I just slowly walked to my room. I gathered my things and Tamina drove us to the Smackdown arena.

"Let's go work on some moves down at the ring." I said.

AJ and I went out towards the ring. My luck was just going great (NOT) as I saw The Shield were the only ones occupying it.

"Can we help you, ladies?" Seth asked.

"We just came down to practice a few moves before the show tonight." AJ said.

"I don't know." Seth said. He turned his attention to look at me. "Dean had a little trouble getting the orange juice out of his hair."
