Save Me, Ambrose

Edmonton

January 30: Jayden

"Edmonton?"
"Yeah, in Canada."
"You mean I'm going to another country?"
"It's not like you haven't before." I rub my arm and look down.
"I know."
"Sorry, Jayden. I forgot about the incident." I look up at Seth and smile.
"It's fine, let's go."
"Are you sure?" I nod, "alright." He grabs my suitcases and loads them into a rental can.
"Wait, what?"
"I'm going to Albuquerque with Dean, John and Daniel."
"Oh...have fun?"
"Don't worry, Leati's promised to protect you. Besides, the Bella's are at the Super Bowl thing."
"Yeah, but plans change. Summer was there but now she's on her way to Canada." He gives me a sympathetic look, "well, alright." Colby smiles and pulls me in for a hug.
"I'll see you in a few days."
"Can't I just go with you?"
"Sorry Jayden, Vince said that you're going to Canada and I'm staying in the US."
"Damn, alright." He hugs me again before I limp into the car and begin driving.
Gonna be a long and lonely road trip.

I stop the car on the side of the road and lean back, relaxing. I check the vibrating phone and pick up, smiling.
"Hey, Roman."
"Hey Jayden."
"What's up?"
"Just wondering where you are, Colby texted me saying that you're on your way."
"I'm in Montana."
"Oh, so you're pretty close then."
"Yeah."
"Great, meet me at the border, we'll go to breakfast or something." I glance at the time, it read 5:30.
"No wonder I'm so tired. Alright, see you in a bit." I hang up.
Alright, just keep driving.

I make it to the border that's connected to a small town named Coutts. I spotted Roman's car and drive towards him.
I park and get out.
"Hey, Roman."
"Hey, so Lethbridge is just an hour from here, wanna go there to eat?"
"Sure."
"Alright, see you in Lethbridge." He smirks and takes off.
"Oh you." I smile and head back to my car.

I drive into a mall parking lot. I spot Roman's car and park next to it. I get out and pull up my hoodie. I limp inside, watching my footing carefully.
"Hey, you look lost." I smirk as I look up to see Roman.
"Funny."
"I thought it was." He chuckles and we head towards the food court. I order a Mean Mocha from Booster Juice. "That's all you're getting?"
"Yeah, not really hungry." I take a sip and sit down at one of the tables.
"Your cars a rental, right?"
"Yep."
"Why don't you just ride with me?"
"That sounds great, but what am I gonna do with the car?" Roman smirks.
"I've got an idea."

"Seriously?"
"What? It's a good idea." I look at the car, now freshly washed and sitting in a rental area.
"You're terrible." Roman chuckles and grabs my hand.
"C'mon, let's go." I shake my head but follow him. He opens the door for me and I slip in, placing my travel bag up front with me. I pull out my phone and laugh as I read a text.

Seth: hey, so R told me that you 2 ditched the rental car. That's gonna be extra money for me. Luv ya too.
Jay: sorry! Romans idea.
Seth: figured.

I smile and turn off my phone as Roman gets into the car. He looks at me and smirks as we drive away.
"What's so funny?"
"Seth."
"Oh?"
"Yeah, he texted me about the rental." Roman laughs and looks at me as my phone goes off. It was from Dean
I look at Roman but he was looking ahead, his knuckles were turning white from holding the steering wheel so tight.
"Be careful, the wheel might break." I attempt to lighten the mood but his hands only tighten more. "Alrighty then." I mumble and look at the text from Dean.

D: hey, how's my bestie?
J: I'm good, on the road with Ro
D: how's that going?

I look up to look at Roman, he glances at me and attempts a smile that turned to look like a snarl. I smile at him and look down.

J: it's alright. We ditched my rental.
D: lemme guess, Ro's idea?

I laugh.

J: how'd you guess?
D: magic
J: funny :P
D: I always am.
J: how's you and Renee?

I wait for him to reply but he doesn't. I sigh and place my phone on my lap and lean back.
"What's wrong?"
"Dean."
"What happened?"
"I asked him about Renee." Roman goes silent and I look at him. He pulls over and sighs before turning to me.
"There's something you need to know, baby girl. Renee and Dean...the broke up."
"What? Dean was so in love with her!"
"I know, and Renee loved him but due to rumours and other things, the trust they had was diminished." I glance down at my phone, to where the screen had just turned on.

D: we're not together anymore.
J: I'm sorry. I didn't know.
D: it's alright :/
J: when we get a day off, you can tell me, k?
D: alright, thanks Jayden.
J: anything for you.

I shut my phone off just as we pull into Edmonton.
"Summer texted me and asked if we could pick her, Sasha and Charlotte up at the airport."
"Absolutely."
"I thought that would be the answer." He chuckles and we drive to the airport. The girls hop in and we drive to their hotel.

I sit on one of the crates beside Emma and lean on her as my eyes flutter close.
"We're almost done, then we can go to Calgary."
"Yep." I mumble and she laughs.
"Wake up, Jayden. Seriously, it's almost time for you to go out there with Roman." I groan and open my eyes and notice Chris Jericho and Tyson Kidd standing in front of me.
I squint and close my eyes again.
"Can't go to sleep just yet, Jayden. C'mon, wake up."
"But I don't wanna." I moan, causing a ripple of laugher. I open my eyes just as the Big Show hoists me over his shoulder and carries me towards the gorilla. "I need my crutches."
"Superman's got them." I look up to see Roman walking behind the Big Show with my crutches. I give a slight wave and he smiles in return.
I'm set down on my good foot and Roman hands me my crutches before giving me a mic and I walk out.

"Wow, is it good to be in Canada or what? All the snow and the grey skies, the lights! Man, it's beautiful here!" The crowd cheers and I spot a girl with short blonde and black hair and I smile. "Anyways, I wanted to introduce this match so please welcome one of my brothers good friends, as well as mine, the Big Show!" His music comes on and he smiles as he walks out. He gets into the ring and gives me a hug. "And now, much to my displeasure, they guy who still apparently thinks the SHIELD is still together, Roman Reigns!" The crowd gives off a mixed emotion as Roman walks down the steps.
Roman slips into the ring and I smirk as I stand between the two big men. "This match will be a Street Fight." I hand the ref the mic and Big Show helps me out of the ring. I walk up the ramp and backstage.

"That was good." I smile at Emma.
"Thanks, I need sleep." she laughs and I lay down on one of the crates. My eyes close and I'm out.

"What do we do with her?"
"Put her in the backseat with Roman."
"But..."
"No buts. C'mon, I don't wanna injure her leg anymore."
"Alright." The voice grumbles and I'm placed on something soft. My head touches a lap or something and I open my eyes. I notice Roman staring out the window and I wince as they close the door, hitting my foot.
Roman looks down at me and smiles.
"You're beautiful." I smile.
"Thank you." He leans down and kisses my forehead before sitting back up and leaning back.
"See you in Calgary." I whisper as my eyes close and I fall asleep.
