I was getting ready for my match tonight against Kaitlyn. I've had Eva, Nikki, Brie, and a few of the other girls be there for me as emotional support. Seth has been checking-up on me here and there like he's changed, but part of me thinks he's just waiting for the chance to hook-up with me because Roman was no longer my boyfriend.

I had to get ready for my match, and then I bumped into Charlotte, who was snickering at me after seeing me looking down at the ground in defeat. I hated her for making Roman cheat on me. It started to bother me until I isolated myself from all of my friends in the hallway, sitting in a corner.

I heard footsteps coming towards me and I looked behind my shoulder to seeing Dean, who looked at me with a saddened expression on my face.

"Ashley, we need to talk about something." He said.

"Dean." I sighed. "If this is about Roman, I don't want to hear about him."

"It is, but please hear me out."

"Please, I don't want to talk about him."

Dean grabbed my hands and looked me in the eyes, "Ashley. Roman did not cheat on you for Charlotte. Didn't you look closely at that picture? He looked surprised and angry at the same time over it. Charlotte waited for him to walk to the vending machine to get some water, just to kiss his cheek. Renee and I didn't know that at the time and when we came back to the hotel after your day with Eva. We were furious with him, but it turned out that he was innocent the entire time."

"Are you fucking serious?" I said with anger, "She planned this?"

"Yeah. Do you think I look like a liar?"

I looked at him as he crooked a smile in attempt to make me feel better.

I smirked, "A little."

"Come on, Ashley. Want to talk to Roman before his segment?"

"I guess I can. However, I don't want to be his girlfriend for awhile if he tries to ask me back out."

"Fair enough. Follow me."

I walked over to Roman's locker-room and watched Dean knock on the door.

"Ambrose, what's up?" He asked with a smile and watched his smile begin to fade from the moment he seen me.

"Hey man. Ashley wanted to talk to you." He said.

Roman sighed whilst opening the door. Then he looked at me with an unreadable facial expression, "Come inside, Ashley."

Dean abandoned me, leaving Roman and I alone in his locker-room before his segment started with Daniel Bryan and Paul Heyman.

This was the first time I'm communicating with Roman after Fastlane when we ended our relationship.

I sighed, "Here we go."

Roman
I really missed Ashley. I hated how our relationship ended because of Charlotte, and now half of the entire roster knows because Ashley was deeply heartbroken last night. Everyone was sending me nothing but glares all down the arena. After a few days, I didn't expect her to talk to me after the Charlotte incident, but I assumed Ambrose talked her into seeing me.

"Hey, Ashley."

"Hey, Roman."

Silence filled the room until I looked into her eyes, "...Look."

Ashley interrupted, "I know, I know. Dean told me that you weren't in love with Charlotte and she sat you up."

"Yeah. I was pissed off at Charlotte after she did that; because she sabotaged what we had together for almost a year. It's just...I'm so sorry."

"Roman. Before you say anything else, I just want to remain friends for awhile, and I'll give you an answer before WrestleMania."

I really didn't want to wait until WrestleMania and it killed me on the inside. As upsetting as it was, I needed to accept her wishes.

"Fair enough. Also, there's something I heard that's been going around the locker-room lately."

Ashley tilted her head, "What's that?"

I looked frustrated as I moved the hair from my face.

"There's a rumor going around that Seth Rollins came to your bedroom the night we broken-up. Did you have sex with him or anything?" I asked, sternly.

"What? No. He just wanted to know if I was alright and didn't try anything stupid with me for once. He was actually caring and stuff. Even when I was going to the gym, he put an umbrella over my head. It felt awkward because he hasn't done that in years for me."

"Are you sure that's all he done? It sounds sketchy to me."

Although I hated how I was just her friend for awhile, I knew something was happening behind closed doors. Seth wouldn't be so supportive until that incident happened.

"Yes, Roman." She rolled her eyes.

"Sorry."

"You're fine. What's happening tonight?" She asked.

"Well, Daniel is going to come out and congratulate me and then Paul Heyman is coming out to warn me about Brock Lesnar. I have a good feeling that I'm still taking back what is rightfully mine and that's the WWE World Heavyweight Championship."

"Yeah, I wish you the best of luck tonight."

"Thanks but back to what you said about Seth, please don't trust him."

"I'm not." Ashley huffed. "I confronted him about what he would say to me in the past. Then he replied that he was just 'looking out for me.' Might I add, Seth also said that he was like that because we were together and it bothered him."

"Oh?" I raised an eyebrow in suspicion.

Part of me believes Seth took that picture on purpose to get Ashley to leave me for him. There goes what I was wanting to do for WrestleMania.

I sighed. "Well, I need to get ready for my segment when Raw starts. I'm kicking off the show tonight."

"Alright, good luck. I'm going to get ready for my match later on tonight."

I nodded and hugged her close to me. I watched her leave the room and she looked so beautiful tonight. Just being in her presence was enough to make me smile.

Ashley
I didn't feel uncomfortable as much talking to Roman, but I felt like it'd be for the best if I waited to even think about dating him again; however, I went to my locker-room and noticed a small present next to my duffel-bag with a note.

"Ashley, I want you to meet me at my locker-room about something. I come in peace and I need to talk to you.

Love, Seth."

I was concerned, but I made sure nobody was around. I knocked on his door to seeing him opening it with a smile. I took a seat next to his stuff while he closed the door.

"Hey, Ashy."

"Don't call me that please."

"Alright, but there's something I wanted to ask you."

"Let me guess, you're wanting to be my boyfriend? If so, I decline."

Seth shook his head and I was shocked. He chuckled as he handed me a pair of black gloves.

"Would you want to join the authority with me?"

"Seth, I don't know about this."

He chuckled, "It's alright. I'm going to give you until WrestleMania to await your answer."

Seth sat down next to me and I felt his hand intertwining with mine. I started to blush. 

The room was silent as he looked at me with a smile. "Want to know something I've always wanted to do, but I didn't have the balls to do at the time?"

"What's that?" I said confused.

He leaned forward and his lips crashed with mine, bringing himself closer to me while I pulled back, realizing what I was doing and I felt ashamed of myself.

"Well, what do you think?" He pulled back while he had a huge smile on his face.

"Why?" I said, repulsed.

"I mean, remember when we were best friends? I've been waiting years to kiss you like that."

I sighed, gazing into his darkened brown eyes. "Seth look, I don't really feel that way for you as I once did back when we were teenagers. I used to love you, but when you changed, I lost everything that I had for you at that time. I'm so sorry."

He looked down in disappointment, "Oh."

"Yeah...I need to get ready for my match tonight, I'll talk to you later."

I left Seth's locker-room without anyone around and I went down the hall to purchase a drink before the match. Suddenly, I felt something hit me in the back of the head, causing me to collapse onto the floor and blacking out.

"Sweet dreams, Ashley." I heard a woman speak while my eyes began to close.

Everything went black.
