Endlessly ( A Dean Ambrose Story)

Chapter 21: Championships

The next morning we all went out for breakfast before heading to New York. Luckily, after Over the Limit, we have a few days off before our Overseas tour.

"So Smackdown was crazy!" Joe said laughing.
"Yea no kidding! And look at you Anna with your mad mic skills!" Jacob said nudging me.
I laughed, "Jeez guys! Ain't that big of a deal."
"Where do you even come up with half of the things you say?" Joe asked curious.
"Honestly I just wing it. I say what I think sounds good and what fits and it just flows."
"Bad ass! Tyler, cat got your tongue man or what? You haven't said a word." Joe asked throwing a piece of hash brown at his friend. Tyler hasn't said much since I told them I was with Dean.
"So when did Dean ask you out?" Tyler finally spoke.
"The night before Smackdown."
"How?"
"Well he signed us up for volunteer work, then we took a tour on the bayou, and then he treated me to dinner. Then he asked not too long after that."
"So a few dates is worth saying yes to a guy you don't really know?" Tyler fired back.
"Come on man, this is not the time or place." Jacob pleaded.
"Actually Tyler, Dean and I have been hanging out alot more than a few times and I actually do know him! If you weren't so caught up in Summer, or actually talked to me like you used to, instead of being pissed off at me all the time you'd know that!" I yelled back.
"Alright guys. You're getting too heated. We'll talk about this some other time." Jacob advised.
"Screw you Annaleigh! The only one who's ignoring anybody is you! We've made plans with you, but you'd cancel on us to go hang out with your boy toy! And if you paid any attention, Summer and I have only recently been hanging out! But that's cool. We're no longer included in your life. Guess Dean's more important now."
"Tyler! Enough!" Joe yelled.
"But I hope you know that this little romance of yours, won't last long. You're just flavor of the week."
I was fuming! I wanted to re-arrange his face so that he'd be unrecognizable! My face felt hot and my vision became blurry.
"Yea you would know something about flavor of the week wouldn't you Tyler?! Considering that's all I was to you 4 years ago and suddenly you have feelings for me?! Screw you! I'm out! Have fun in New York without me!" I said as I got up to leave.
"How do you plan on getting there then?"
"The bus!!!"
I made my way to our hotel room to pack. I didn't know how I was getting to New York. I didn't know where I'd find a bus and I was low on cash. Al I did know was I wouldn't be riding with Tyler! My eyes were filled with angry tears. People were probably staring but I didn't care. I fumbled for my room key while I turned the corner and ran into someone.
*** Dean's P.O.V***
Joe, Colby, and I were on our way to load up our car when I collided with someone: Annaleigh. I reached down to pick her up but her hands covered her face. That's when I heard the sniffling.
"Annaleigh? Sweetheart what's wrong?" She uncovered her face and when she realized it was me, she wrapped her arms around my neck and buried her face in my chest and just sobbed. Joe and Colby looked at me confused but I had no answers either. I sat down with her and tried getting her to calm down.
"Annaleigh relax babe." I said rubbing her back. The other 2 sat their bags down and sat with us. I unveiled her face and wiped her tears away and kissed her forehead.
"Babe what's wrong?"
"Tyler and I had a fight and he said some pretty hurtful things." She explained. I saw red. I knew why he came at her like that. He was pissed that we were together. I understood but you don't attack my girl!
"...and I was on my way to pack my things." She must have continued talking but I didn't hear the rest.
"So if they were your ride, how do you plan on getting to New York?" Colby asked.
"I don't know. I said bus but I'm low on cash so-"
"Come with us." Roman interrupted.
"What?"
"Come with us." He repeated.
"Oh no I couldn't burden you guys." Roman put his hand up to stop her.
"Sweetheart you're dating our brother now. That makes you family as well. Besides, we have plenty of room for another hound." He said winking. She looked at me and I smiled.
"Okay thanks. But I need to pack."
"I'll help you." I said following her to her room.
We loaded up and made our way to New York. I sat in the back with Annaleigh while Roman drove and Seth sat passenger. Annaleigh had fallen asleep with her head on my lap. I sat there playing with her hair and looking out the window. I felt something vibrate and looked to see her phone ringing and saw that it was Tyler calling. I wanted to answer it and give him a piece of my mind, but I decided not to. I'll get him when the time is right.
***Annaleigh's P.O.V***
We made it to Albany. I decided to room with The Shield instead of my boys. I'm still pretty pissed at Tyler. We unpacked what we needed and headed for the arena. Dean walked me to my locker room. We kissed goodbye and departed. I started to get ready. Mine and A.J's fight was the Main Event. CM Punk and John Cena started the show. I sat and watched the match and was very impressed. A.J walked in and joined me.
"Punk's really good!" I said smiling at her.
"That he is!"
"Hey do you mind if I ask you something?"
"Sure."
"Did everyone approve of yours and Punk's relationship?"
"Not at first, but it's really not their choice. Phil makes me happy and if they cared for me, they would be happy for me."
"What about friends?"
"They were extremely happy for us. They actually rooted for us to happen. Why all the questions?" A.J asked.
"Well, you know Dean and I are together right?" She nodded.
"Well one of my friends, my best friend, does not approve. We had a fight this morning and said some hurtful things."
"The blonde one?"
"Yea."
"Well, if you haven't figured it out by now, blondie is crazy about you!"
"Yea I knew that."
"Okay. Well that's why he doesn't approve. He wants to be the guy who makes you happy. But the thing is, this is your life. Your choices. I haven't known Dean or the other 2 for very long, but I do know that Dean doesn't just date anyone. In fact you're the only girl I've seen him with. Dean is crazy about you. So don't let someone else make you doubt your own feelings. I'm not saying that you and Dean are forever. Maybe blondie is your one and only, but you and Dean are together now. And for good reason. So enjoy it." She said smiling.
"Thanks!" I said giving her a hug.
"No problem! Now, I love you and all, but I have a title to retain." I laughed and finished getting ready.
Tyler and Joe's match was up next. The boys came out pumped up. I still wanted to punch Tyler in the face! I had half a mind to attack and disqualify them, but I wouldn't stoop that low. Roman and Seth came out. As big teddy bears that they were, they were still pretty intimidating! Especially Roman. The match started and I heard a knock on the door. A.J. opened it and in walked Dean.
"Hey!" I said running towards him.
"Hey beautiful." He said as he leaned in and kissed me. He sat down watched the match with me.
"Who are you going for?" I asked.
"Silly question. My brothers." He laughed. "You?"
"Definitely not Tyler!" I said bitterly.
"What about Joe?"
"Joe sure. Not Tyler."
Dean laughed, "Sweetheart I know you're mad, but he's your friend. You can't let this fight ruin that."
"Do you even know why we were fighting?"
"It's not hard to guess. Tyler wants you and I threaten that. So he's pissed." Dean could see that I was upset. "Babe nothing's going to happen. You're mine and I'm yours. Nothing or no one is changing that."
"So you're not bothered by Tyler liking me?"
"Well I mean I'm not a fan, but if you wanted to be with him you would be." He smiled. We cuddled up and watched the last few minutes of the match. Seth curb stomped Tyler and tagged in Roman. Roman let out a yell.
"Welp, your friends are done." And just like that, Roman speared Tyler earning a pinfall and retaining their titles.
"Well, I'm next. I gotta go." I said getting up and kissing Dean goodbye.
I arrived at the Gorilla in time to see Tyler and Joe walk through. Joe approached me. "Hey I'm really sorry about this morning." He said apologizing.
"It wasn't you, Joe. It was Tyler."
"He was out of line but you need to understand where he's coming from."
"Oh believe me I know!"
"Anyways, how'd you get here?"
"Dean. And The Shield."
"Oh."
"Sorry about your loss."
"Eh. There's always next time. But you're on! Good luck!"
"Thanks!"
My music played and I made my way to the ring where A.J was waiting. My whole day had been thrown off by mine and Tyler's fight but I needed to focus on my match. The bell rang and A.J and I locked up. I placed her in a headlock. After I clotheslined her, she had the upper hand. She dominated the ring. At one point she threw me outside of the ring and landed hard on me from the top rope. The hit was hard and it took a moment for me to catch my breath. She grabbed me by my head and managed to whisper, "Get your head in the game!" I guess she must have noticed I wasn't myself. I knew she was right. As she was about to throw me into the steel steps, I reversed and threw her into the steps. The crowd began cheering once I had the upper hand. We wound back in to the ring. She bounced from the ropes wrapped her legs around my waist and began to perform the Black Widow. I was weak from the beatdown early on in the match, but this title meant everything to me! I managed to loosen her grip and tried to figure a way out. Then I thought counter acting and pinning her. "Here goes nothing." I thought as I flipped forward and held her in a pin.
"1...2...3!" My music rang through the arena and was almost drowned out by the screams of the fans.
"And here is your winner... and the NEW Divas Champion... Annaleigh!!" Lilian said. I did it! I won! I was the new Divas Champ! The ref handed me the title and I collapsed crying. I was afraid I was dreaming. I celebrated with the fans and made my way backstage where I was greeted by Dean. I ran towards him as he picked me up and spun me around.
"I'm so proud of you babe! You did it!" He said pressing his lips on mine. Soon Joe, Jacob, and a few others gathered to celebrate with me.
"Well I've got to go. My match is next." Dean said giving me a quick kiss.
Jacob and Deans match was intense. They were very well matched and both went above and beyond in the ring. Each pin was pretty close. But Dean delivered his Dirty Deeds and retained his title. I was very proud of both men but I was glad my guy had won. Jacob walked backstage and I gave him a hug.
"You did really good! I'm very proud of you!" I said smiling.
"Thanks! But I wasn't in that match really."
"What do you mean?" I asked. He was just about to answer when Dean came around the corner and shook his hand.
"Hey man good match! You're one hell of a competitor." Dean said wrapping his arm around my waist.
"Thanks. That means alot."
"Did good little man!" Joe said patting Jacob's back. Tyler followed after.
"Hey! While I have you all here, I need to tell you something."
Dean tried to excuse himself but Jacob asked him to stay.
"I'm flying home tomorrow to propose to Lexi and I'd like you guys to be there. You're not only friends of ours but family as well."
"We'd love to man!" Joe basically spoke for all of us.
"And you're more than welcome to bring someone." Jacob said gesturing to Dean and I. I looked at Dean and he smiled. Guess I didn't have to beg him to go.
After the show, Dean and I headed back to the hotel room and found Roman and Seth playing video games.
"Hey guys. Change of plans for this weekend." Dean said.
"What?! Why?!" Seth asked.
"I'm going to Texas with Annaleigh. Her friend Jacob is proposing to his girlfriend and he invited me." Dean explained.
"Well dang! Can we tag along?" Seth teased.
"You know why not? It'd be fun showing you guys my hometown." I said.
"No I was just kidding. Leighla's coming this weekend and I've kinda planned something."
"Oh okay. Well offer still stands. Mortal Kombat huh? I'm awesome at that game."
"You play?" Dean asked.
"Yep!"
"Yea right! You couldn't beat me even if you tried." Seth said.
"Please! I can kick you ass 10 times over in that game! Challenge accepted! Let's go a few rounds." I said confidently.
"Good luck." He said with a grin.
"Yea cause you're going to need it!" I said.
