Roman's Little Sister

THIRTEEN

        I used to be accustomed to the silence. I was so used to it that I didn't realize how deafening it really was, until now. Now I realized how cold and empty it was. I quickly turn on the t.v. for some noise. I sink onto the bed and stare at the ceiling trying to figure everything out,  how had my life become a CW teen drama?

       I felt a little off not going to the gym with Seth, but by the time I got to the arena I had finally started to relax a little. Though that feeling was starting to slip as it got closer to time for the show. A cool blast of air hit me as I opened the door. People were everywhere trying to get things set up for tonight. I had my head down looking in my bag as I was digging around for my phone, so I could listen to some music to drown out all the voices from everybody. I was so into my own head that I wasn't really paying attention to anything until a voice left me no choice but to pay attention. "Destiny!!!"

      I looked up slowly towards the area where the voice came from and looked at my brother like he had lost his mind. "Hey, what's up?" I asked as I readjusted the strap of my bag onto my shoulder. "What's up? What's up is that I've been texting and calling you non-stop since you texted me about riding with someone else." he replied in an irrated tone. "Why didn't you call me back or at least send me a damn text to let me know you were okay Dez?"

      I let out a sigh as I rolled my head back as I realized why I couldn't find my phone in my bag. "Ugh! Drew still has my phone. I'm sorry I didn't mean to worry you." I explained. His eyebrows closed in together as he took in what I had just said. "Drew. Drew McIntyre?" he asks. "No, Barrymore. Yes Drew McIntyre."  I say with a chuckle and start walking towards the locker rooms.

     Roman puts his hand out to stop me from leaving. "Why does McIntyre have your phone Desi?" he asks crossing his arms across his chest. I couldn't very well tell him that his friends were blowing my phone up so Drew decide to hijack my phone, but I also didn't want to lie. "Because he took it before we got on the road, because it kept going off." I say deciding to go with as much of the truth as possible.

     "So it's true then. You and Drew are a thing?" he asks through clenched teeth. How the hell did he come to that conclusion from me riding here with Drew and Nia, and Drew having my phone. I look at him waiting for him to start laughing at his joke, only he didn't even crack a smile. My eyes widened as I realized he was serious. "Woah, are you serious right now? You're out of your mind, you know that right?" I reply to his insane question.

     "So you're telling me that you weren't seen hugging each other in a very inappropriate way in front of the hotel last night then?" he asks shaking his head in disbelief.

      I step back as I try to control my emotions. I suddenly feel like I am back in foster care. In a time where nobody listened to me. Or believed me. They always automatically thought the worst and had their minds made up before they even talked to me. I felt myself starting to collect all the emotional walls I had built up over the years back up around me, closing myself off.

     Roman steps towards me reaching out to pull me to the side. "Dean saw you last night Desi. He told me you and Drew were laughing and hugging each other." he shakes his head and runs his hand over his face before continuing, "Dez, you can't be getting involved with these guys okay. They're my friends, we work together. It's just not a good idea. I'll deal with Drew later tonight."

     I can feel my eyes burning from the tears that are building up trying to release. I shake my head at his attitude towards this. I honestly don't know if I am more upset or pissed at this point. I count to ten in my head and take a deep breath and force the tears back before I shake his hands off of me roughly. Pushing past him, I start to walk away. He reaches out trying to grab my hand. "Dez, wait. We need to talk about this."  I staighten my back as I turn to look at him narrowing my eyes.

     "No, Roman. We really don't. And by the way what Dean saw was innocent, but don't worry big brother, your friends are safe from me. And stay the hell away from Drew. I mean it Roman." I stated before walking off before things were said that couldn't be taken back.

       I was seething as I walked towards the locker room, when I spotted Drew going towards one of the corridors. "Drew. Hey slow down, not all of us have mile long legs." I called after him. He turned his head and laughed at my comment, but quickly stopped when he looked at my face.

      "What's wrong?" his face flashed with concern as his eyes scanning my face. I had already dragged him into my mess more than I should have, but I didn't know if Roman would listen to me or not so I had to warn him. I shook my head and looked at the ground. He lifted my head to look at him. "What's the matter Little Reigns?" he asked.

       "It's Roman." I reply shamefully. I repeat the conversation me and Roman just had to him, "I told him to stay away from you but, I just wanted to give you a heads up. In case he didn't listen to me." I say.

       "Well that explains the match I have for tonight then." he says as he throws his arm over my shoulder as we walk. "Oh no, Drew I'm so sorry. I really didn't mean to get you involved like this." I groan. "Nah, you don't get apologize for other people and their ignorance Little Reigns. Don't worry about your brother, he's not going to hurt me. At least not to bad." he digs into his pocket with his free hand, "By the way, here's your phone. Or I can keep a hold of it so you don't have deal with any of them."

       I honestly thought about letting him keep it. But I was going to have to deal with it all sooner or later. "No. Thanks though. I'll just turn it off for now."
"Alright if you're sure." he says before we went our separate ways.

       On my way to the locker room I try not to think about the matches tonight. Looking at the paper for the nights match sets, I see that all the members of the Shield have one on one matches. I'm secretly thanking whatever is on my side because I only have to interact with Seth tonight and not for very long. As I round the corner, I come to an abrupt stop and take a deep breath and march straight towards both Seth and Dean, who are standing outside the Women's Locker Room.

      "You have got a set of balls on you Ambrose." I state as I get ready to tear into him. "Thanks Darlin', maybe tonight I can give you a close up look." he replies in a cocky manner, like he did nothing wrong. I jab my finger into his chest "You had no right to go running to brother with what you saw. It was none of his business, hell it's none of your business."

       "You were ignoring my phone calls, then that Scottish asshole answered, and the cherry on the cake he put is hands on you. And that makes it my business." he says stepping so close that I could feel his breath on my face.

        Stepping back I look between the two of them, Seth's face is full of confusion, "I'll see you tonight for the match Seth." I say before turning to Dean, "And you. Leave me alone." Seth steps in front of me before I can get to the door. "Just tell us what's going on Dez. Why did you ditch us? Let's talk this out." he pleads.

       Looking at them both; I knew, that no matter that outcome of anything, I would never be able to make everybody happy. Someone was going to get hurt, and with my luck that person would be me. I can be mad at Roman all I wanted but, I knew he was right. I couldn't get involved with either one of these guys, no matter what they made me feel.

      "If you guys really knew what I wanted, you'd hate me. So let's just do the storyline, and then I'll see about getting me reassigned to another Superstar and we never have to worry about this situation again. I'm sorry." I let out a deep breath and walked between them, looking back one last time at them. Both with a look of shock on their faces. When they started to say something I opened the door to the locker room and closed the doors to anything that could have happened with them.
