Charlie's Hero

I knocked softly on the door. AJ opened it instantly.

"Can we make this quick?" I asked.

"Quick as can be." She said.

"What?" I asked.

"I saw Dean talking to Eva today." She said.

That's it. That's what she wanted to tell me? And why couldn't she have done this over the phone. Although, I had a feeling there was more.

I shrugged, "And?"

"Oh come on Charlie, you know how Eva is. She's flirting with everyone around here." She said.

"She's engaged." I stated.

"It won't stop her. Plus, Summer's the same way. She's even flirting with some of the divas' guys. Including yours." She said.

"This is ridiculous." I said, about to walk away, but she grabbed my arm.

"Just look." She said as she shoved her phone in my face.

I saw pics of Summer and Dean talking. "They talked too. I didn't hear what they were talking about, but she was getting pretty flirtatious around him. Look C, I felt bed to show you these, but I didn't want you to find out later that he's cheating on you and be even more hurt than you are now. No matter how much I want my title back, I still care about the person that's holding it." She said.

"It doesn't mean he's cheating on me, AJ. She could've just been bugging him." I said.

"I know. She probably was. I'm just warning you. Summer's gonna do anything in her power to get him. She'll use her advantage of being older and probably use sex as a reason to convince Dean to leave you. Cause....ya know....Dean had his horny days." She said.

She was right. Dean used to be a pretty horny guy. Well....he's still horny. But not enough for him to force me into anything. If Summer brain washed him, he just might leave me. Or cheat.

I tear streamed down my eye as I had this thought.

"Aw C, don't cry." AJ said. "Look," she said as she grabbed my hand in support, "I don't think Dean would cheat on you. I mean, he's proven he's changed. I've never seen Dean Ambrose be so love struck. He'd be dumb to leave you for Summer. He loves you, Charlie." She said.

I gave AJ just about the biggest hug ever.

"I miss my best friend, C." She said.

"Me too." I said softly.

"I'm sorry. For everything." She said.

"Me too." I said before pulling away. "I, uh, better get going. Dean's probably having a heart attack cause I snuck out."

"You snuck out?" She asked.

"Well, he would've never let me come with Bray and Brian on the loose." I said.

"Oh yeah, by the way, how's that been going?" She asked.

"I'll explain later." I said. "I gotta go."

She opened the door for me and I basically ran back to The Shield's room.

Their heads snapped in my direction as I walked in. They were all still sitting on the couch. Dean was drinking his beer. Had they even noticed I left?

"Where were you?" Dean asked.

"AJ's." I said.

He raised his eyebrows, "Since when did you two become BFFs agains?" He asked.

"They're more like frenemies." Seth said.

"Really?" I raised my eyebrows at him.

"What? It's true." He said.

I rolled my eyes playfully. "I'm going to bed."

I snuggled up in mine and Dean's bed. I pulled the blanket over me and slowly closed my eyes. A few moments later, just as I was drifting off to sleep, I felt the door close and arms wrapped around me from behind.

I turned around and snuggled into Dean's chest. I looked up at him, but it wasn't Dean. It was Brian.

I screamed myself awake and sat up in bed. Dean instantly ran into the room.

"What?" He asked cautiously as he rushed over to me.

"Bad dream." I said.

"Bray?" He asked.

I shook my head, "Brian."

"Babe, it's okay." He said as he layed me back down.

He snuggled in the bed and cuddled with me until I fell asleep.
