Endlessly ( A Dean Ambrose Story)

Kansas City Pt.2

Smackdown started off great! I had a match with Paige tonight. I had heard so much about her in NXT but never got the chance to be in the ring with her. I set my stuff down and was about to get ready when I heard a voice address me.

"Annaleigh?"
"Yea?"
"Stephanie needs you in the office."
"Okay. On my way." That news scared me. I knew I wasn't in trouble but it always felt like you were going to the principles.
"Annaleigh! Come on in!" Stephanie said smiling.
I went to sit down and noticed Paige was sitting next to me. She smiled and waved and I returned the gesture.
"I'm guessing you two are wondering why I called you in here." Stephanie asked us. We both nodded.
"Well, for newcomers just coming out of NXT, you both have a growing fan base. They want to see more of both of you. Annaleigh, you with more solo matches a Paige, you with more feuds with A.J Lee for the Divas title, but they also want Annaleigh to have a shot at the Divas title. So my team and I have decided on how we'd like this to get this going. We want to put you 2 in a feud. This feud will last until Over the Limit. But what will happen is only one of you will face A.J. That's where the #1 Contenders match will take place, and the winner of that will go on to face AJ. How does that sound?" Stephanie asked.
Wow! They want to see me as champion?! Already?! I can't believe it!
"I love it! I think this will be a great opportunity for the both of us!" Paige said.
"I agree with Paige. I can't wrap my head around it but I'm in!" I agreed. Stephanie looked pleased. But then she turned to me and said, "But Annaleigh..." She trailed off.
"Yes mam?"
"The thing is, once you sign this contract, you're on your own. This title shot is meant for only you. Which means you'll have to break away from The American Outlaws. Are you willing to do that?"
My heart sank. I've wanted this chance for as long as I could remember! But I never imagined abandoning my boys. We've come so far together.... I imagined us getting titles together, but this is what wrestlers do... it was part of our job. But I still can't fathom no longer being an Outlaw.
"Annaleigh?" Stephanie spoke bringing me out of my thoughts. " You still with us sweetheart?"
"I have to leave my boys?" Saying it only made it worse. Stephanie must have seen the hurt on my face.
"I know it's hard, but I can assure you that this isn't permanent. You're just getting a push first. We can always work you back in when you're done. I know it's too soon to split you guys up, but we have to give our audience what they want...and they want to see you as a Divas Champ. That's a really big deal!" Stephanie assured. She was right. It wouldn't be forever and the fact that my fan base is growing and they want to see me with the title is a dream come true. I just don't know how I'm going to break this to the boys. I know they will not like this one bit. With a heavy heart, I agreed and signed the contract. Now, I either asked for a miracle or I signed over to the Devil.
"Great! Now Annaleigh would you like us to inform your friends?"
"No ma'am. They need to hear it from me."
"Oh! When do we start this feud?" Paige asked
"It starts when we get to Florida."
As I left the office, I went in search of the boys. I went to Catering first, but they were not there. I asked around and no one had seen them. I decided my news would have to wait.
Mine and Paige's match was intense. Our energies from the news we got earlier shown. Each of us wanted to make a better impression. I had the upper hand and was about to deliver my finisher, but she somehow managed to get out of it. I threw her to the ropes so that I could set her up for a spear but she kicked me in the gut. I fell to the mat gasping for air. Paige walked over to me, picked me up, and delivered her Rampaige finisher.
"1...2...3!" Paige won the match. I hate losing, but the better woman won tonight. I was not at all on top of my game.
After my match, I headed to the locker rooms to shower and change. On my way there, I saw Tyler talking to Summer Rae. I rolled my eyes as I watched Summer play with her hair and laugh flirtatiously. I don't know what it is, but I just don't like her. I had to pull him to the side and tell him, but I didn't have the heart to.
After the show, we all decided to eat at Olive Garden. Tyler and Joe brought dates (Summer Rae and Emma) while Jacob and I were the third wheels. All in all we had a good night. We laughed and talked and shared a few stories. Once we got home, I took a long hot bath and called it a night.
***Dean's P.O.V***
I woke up to the hotel being empty. I went to the kitchen and grabbed a carton of milk and took a big swig of it. I noticed a piece of paper with writing on it. I picked it up and I read,

Jon,

Picked up Leighla from the airport and going to have lunch date and spend some time with her. Joe is spending time with his family. We'll be back in time for our interviews though! Later man!

"What are you my mother?" I asked out loud. I decided to change and go for a workout for a bit then explore the town.
I had a good work out. It was 10:30am and our interviews weren't until 4 so I decided it was time to go exploring. I started walking out of the gym and took a drink of water when I crashed into someone. I looked to see who it was.
"You know? We're going to have to get you a collar with a bell so that we quit bumping into each other all the time." I teased. I held out my hand but Annaleigh just laid on the floor. She sighed and said, "That's it. I quit."
"Quit what?"
"Today. Life... my life to be exact."
"That's not funny." She's never like this. She finally accepted my hand and I could tell she had been crying, and I hated it. I've made alot of girls cry and I'll admit it never bothered me, but to see Annaleigh crying... I realized I never wanted to see her like that ever.
"Is everything okay?" I asked, but I knew she wouldn't tell me.
"Yea. Just have a lot of stuff on my mind and I just had to let it out." She chuckled. There was more to it than what she was saying but I didn't push.
"Hey you want to go with me somewhere?" I asked.
"Where?"
"Anywhere. I need to get away for a bit and it looks to me like you do too."
"Okay... yea sure."
We walked to my rental car and got in. We stopped by Sonic (my treat), got a drink and drove around looking for something to do.
"World's of Fun" I heard her say.
"What?"
"World's of Fun. It's an amusement park." Perfect! I pulled in, paid our way and walked in to have some fun.
We rode every ride in the park. Played a few arcade games and stuffed our faces full of funnel cake and corn dogs. We shared a few laughs. Her laugh was contagious! It seemed she had forgotten all about whatever was bothering her which I was happy about. We decided to ride one more ride before we had to leave to do interviews.
"That one!" She yelled pointing. I looked in the direction to where she was pointing.
"Swings? That's our last ride?' I asked making a face. I was hoping for a more thrilling last ride.
"Oh stop! Come on!" She laughed. I followed her to the ride and stopped dead in my tracks. The ride was a swing alright, but a very tall swing. I have a strange fear of heights but there was no way I was telling her that!
"Uh... how high does this thing go?" I asked the conductor.
"300 ft."
*Gulp* I felt my knees about to give out.
"Come on! Come on!" Annaleigh shouted grabbing my hand and leading me to a pair of swing.
After the long and torturous ride, we left and headed back to the hotel to get ready for our interviews. Two things I learned today: 1.Annaleigh... is a girl of many secrets that I'm dying to get to find out, and 2. That was the first and last time I will ever ride Steel Hawk.
