An Ambreigns Story

Chapter One: What are these Feelings?

"Roman what are you doing still sleeping," yells Dean from the other side of the door. I groan as I sit up in my bed and rub my eyes. We, being Dean, Seth, and I, all went out drinking last night and well we got a bit wasted. I feel something next to me and my eyes widen at what I see. I look at the girl next to me and think about how she got here. I slowly get up out of my bed, heading for the door. I quietly leave my room and walk into the living room where Dean is now holding his head. I ask "who the hell is the girl in there?" Dean smiles and says "oh her. Well you brought her home from the bar last night and well you two were loud." I shake my head and look over to Seth who is still passed out on the couch. I sigh and say "well she needs to go. I can't have her here." Dean almost laughs and says "well you are going to have to tell her to leave then when she gets up." I glare at Dean and say "I will just leave her a note. I have more pressing matters to attend to." I walk to the bathroom after grabbing clothes and quickly get changed. I return to my room quietly of course and write a note for the girl. Then, I head out from our hotel room and leave Dean with a surprised look on his face.

Sometimes I can't handle him and Seth. They really are a handful and today's actually a very special day. There are some new rookies coming in today and they are being given pros. Dean, Seth, and I are actually getting rookies today, but they don't even seem to care. I reach my car and lean against it looking up at the sky. I watch as a few of my co-workers leave for the arena and sigh. I look over to the hotel's entrance and I see the girl leaving with tears streaming down her cheeks. I feel bad about all of this, but I just don't think I can love someone right now. Don't get me wrong I do have feelings for someone, but I am just not ready for a relationship. I groan when I hear a very familiar laugh come from behind me. I turn around and Dean says "let's get going Rome. We should get to the arena." Seth nods and asks "why are we in such a hurry though?" I sigh and say "today is the day we get our rookies. I don't want to keep everyone waiting." I feel as though I am the level headed one out of our group and I watch Dean's eyes light up. Dean says "well, I hope mines a girl." He laughs and I say "that is not what you need right now." Dean glares at me and says "you ain't the boss of me. I can do whatever I want Rome. I can date whoever I want, too."

I shake my head as we all get into the car and I start the car. I put the car in drive and soon we are heading towards where the arena is located for tonight's show. Dean has turned the radio on and I am annoyed with what station he put it on. Luckily though, we are close to the arena and I pull the car into our normal spot. I turn the car off after parking it and get out of the car carefully. Dean and Seth start running towards the arena racing each other. I groan following them from a safe distance and lock the car. We approach the locker room and it sounds like girls are arguing in our locker room. I open the door and ask "what the hell is going on in here?" All three girls look up at us and the one with white hair says "well, we were just waiting for you three to appear. I'm Stormy. This here is Janet and Madeline." The other two wave to us and Dean smirks saying "nice to meet you lovely ladies." I watch as he gets closer to Stormy and she says "you are quite the looker Dean. I can't believe you aren't with someone yet." I watch her lean closer to Dean and I feel anger building up in me. Dean smirks even more at her and says "well, I am just waiting for that right one if you know what I mean." I hate that they are flirting together, but I don't really know why. Stormy gets extremely close to Dean and I grab him away from her and say "I need to have a private conversation with Dean."

We leave the locker room leaving Stormy mad and Dean looks fairly upset with me. I ask "what do you think you are doing?" Dean looks up at me and says "I was only having a bit of fun Rome. You are acting as if you were jealous of my flirting." I groan and say "I am not jealous. I am just you know worried is all." Dean shakes his head and says "whatever Rome. You ain't going to stop me from getting with her. I am tired of being alone and I need someone to love. I don't even care if I stay with them or if they stay with me. I just want to be wild." I feel my heart sink for some reason and I start to realize something is wrong. What is this feeling that I have in my chest? My heart is beating fast and I look at Dean who is leaning against the wall pouting. I think 'I am starting to fall for Dean and I don't know what to do.' Dean says "well I am going to go back in there." He moves from the wall and reaches for the door handle. I have to stop him before it's too late and before I regret something that I never even did. I move faster than I thought and grab Dean's hand turning him towards me. Dean struggles with me and looks up at me with a questioning look. I don't let go and I am not planning on letting go of him.

I look at him and say "Dean. You can't be with her. I won't let you." Dean asks "why the hell not?" My face feels like it's on fire and I can see Dean has a blush on his face. Wait why is his face red, too? I think 'does Dean have a crush on me or something?' I move closer to him and he is against the wall again looking up at me with questioning eyes. I lean closer to him hoping to do something, but Seth interrupts us. Seth says "um guys we need to show the girls around the arena." I reluctantly let go of Dean and walk into the locker room asking "so who is my rookie out of you three?" The nerdy one named Janet says "I am sir." I look at her smiling and say "follow me." She follows closely behind me as I lead her out of the room after Dean looks away from me. Janet asks "if I may sir will you tell me why you interrupted Stormy and Dean?" I look at Janet and say "well, if you must know I think I have feelings for him. I mean I like him as more than a friend." Janet says "ah so you love him. That makes sense. Though I doubt he knows how you feel about him because look over there." I look in the direction she is pointing and I feel my heart hurt. I see Dean and Stormy sitting together making out on one of the chairs. I clench my fists tightly and Janet touches my shoulder gently. I say "I just. I have to do something, but what." Janet smiles and calmly says "well I think the only option is to tell him how you feel." I look at her sadly and I say "I guess you are right.

I walk away feeling depressed as I enter the locker room. I start getting ready for my match against Randy Orton when I hear the door open. I slightly turn around to see a very red Dean standing there looking at the ground. I ask calmly "what is it Dean?" Dean says "um well I want to come with you to the match tonight if it's alright with you." I say "sure. Do whatever Dean." I finish getting my Shield uniform on and I know he is still standing there. I turn around and Dean is looking at the ground still. I sigh and say "Dean you can come down to the ring with me, but don't interfere in the match." Dean looks up at me and says "I won't I just thought that it would be nice to have a friend down there. Also the girls are calling themselves the female Shield." I groan and lean against the wall crossing my arms trying to look mad. I say "just great. First the one is a flirter and now they all decided to call themselves something." I shake my head and walk towards the locker room door not even caring if Dean does follow or not. Dean does follow behind me though and I head out for my match. I knew this was going to be a hard match, but I didn't think it would end up with Dean injured. Randy had told some of his friends to come out during the match and beat Dean up. I wanted to jump out of the ring so badly to help, but I had to finish the match. I won the match, but I only felt horrible about it. I hurry over to Dean, who is coughing, after the match and ask "you alright Dean?" Dean groans and says "I think so Rome." I get him up off the floor and help him back to the locker room where Stormy looks really worried. She glares at me and I glare right back at her.

Stormy asks in an angry voice "how could you let him go out to the ring with you Roman?" I growl and say "it is none of your damn business what Dean does. He can go wherever he wants." I gently put Dean on the couch in the back of the locker room and Dean grabs my arm. He mumbles the words "please stay." I sigh quietly feeling a bit relieved and I sit down on the floor beside him. I feel like this is all my fault and I could have done something to stop it from happening. People would probably tell me that it wasn't my fault, but they don't realize what is going on in my head right now. I can't help, but feel something for Dean and it actually is scaring me. I hear soft snoring and I smile looking at Dean's sleeping face. He is quite cute when he sleeps and I cover him up with a blanket. I sit back down on the floor and lean against the couch looking up. What are these feelings that I have for him? Could this be love?
