After spending a few days with my family. Ashley, Jimmy, Jey, and I had to go back to work. When it comes to my leg injury, it was feeling better after that incident with Big Show. Before I could compete inside of the ring again, I needed to see if I was cleared to compete in the ring again by the WWE Medical Staff.

In the meantime, Ashley and I began packing our bags and getting ready to leave my Pensacola home. I caught my mother with tears beginning to well-up in her eyes. Worried, I brought her into my embrace; reassuring her that everything would be fine. "I'll be back home soon, ma."

"I know you will be. It feels like forever without seeing my handsome son. You've grown up so much ever since you've left home. But before you leave, I need to ask you something in private." She said.

"Sure, what's up?"

We walked away from everyone else as she whispered in my ear, "Do you plan on marrying Ashley soon?"

I looked over at my mother and nodded. The thought of her son getting married had her exhilarated. Before she started showing her excitement once more in her tone of voice, I had to tell her to quiet down. I was going to surprise Ashley in the future with an engagement ring. Only I know when I'm going to propose. Not my mother, not any members of my family, not even Ambrose, or any of my friends. Especially not Ashley.

"Listen ma, I'm planning on asking her to marry me soon. I'm not telling anyone when I'm going to do it, you'll just know." I smiled whilst reeling my mother into a hug.

After departing from Pensacola, Florida, Ashley and I drove quite a small distance to the nearby airport. We booked our flight to the upcoming WWE show in Illinois.

"Ready to go?" I asked.

"Yeah. We haven't seen any of our friends in a few days."

"You're right. What would you want to do before the show?"

"I'll more likely make some plans with the girls. What about you?"

"I might hang out with Ambrose, and maybe my cousins, too. I'll miss you."

"I'll miss you too, but we're still going to get to see each other before Raw tonight." Ashley started to laugh.

While we were still on the flight. The airplane landed a couple of hours later. Later on in the evening, we met with Ambrose.

"How's you and Ashley been?" Ambrose said.

"We had fun together." I winked.

"What kind of fun are you implying, Rome?" Ambrose asked until a sudden realization hit, "Ohhh!"

I started to chuckle and then realized Ashley looked upset when I glanced over at her.

"What's wrong?"

"What we done was our business and nobody else's, right?" Ashley scoffed.

"Oh...fuck! I'm so sorry babe."

"How long until the plane lands?"

She sounded upset with me; and with good reason.

"I think in about an hour."

"Alright." She says, putting a pair of earphones into her ears.

Ashley and I haven't had an actual argument in our relationship until now. I accidentally spilled the tea to Ambrose about our personal business, and I felt like I needed to make up for the mistake that I've made.

"Wow, you pissed her off." Ambrose said.

"Shut up, Ambrose. Not now."

After we got off the plane, Ashley and I went to the arena. I realized how she didn't speak to me after what happened on the plane. I started worrying and needed to think about how to apologize to her the best way I could.

Ashley
I was feeling upset after Roman hinted to Dean about what happened between us. He forgot about the promise that he sworn to me from last night, that he wouldn't tell anyone about what happened between the both of us. I never wanted anyone besides Roman and I to know about our sex life. I didn't know how to react but to ignore him for awhile.

I was alone in the locker-room after I put my ring attire on and started talking to myself. "Dammit Ashley! Why do you always get worked up over things like this? You shouldn't be letting these small things get to yo-" I stopped myself as I heard my door making a slight creek, and the lights turned off randomly.

I didn't hear anyone inside of my locker-room. Uneasy, I was beginning to feel scared until I felt a pair of lips pressing against my cheek. I thought Roman was sneaking in here to apologize to me after what happened on the flight, but I was wrong.

Little did I know, this wasn't Roman. I felt myself being escorted to sit down and then I felt a hand rubbing on my inner thigh.

"...Oh, Ashley."

I couldn't see who it was because of the darkness. However, I pulled back and started to feel frightened; that is, until I heard a laugh that sounded awfully familiar.

I quickly stood up and turned on the light. And to my surprise, it was Seth as he was sitting there in front of me with a sinister grin that was spread across on his face. I screamed as loud as I could until he put his hands over my mouth.

"I'm here, Ashley. Remember the old Seth? He's back and better than ever." Seth attempted to say in a comforting voice.

I forcefully moved his hands away from me and looked at him, furrowing my eyebrows. "Seth, I know what you're doing and I'm not stupid. I already told you that I'm not in love with you!"

"But Sweetheart, remember what I said? I could give you the entire world, literally everything you could ever want can become a reality. Be my girlfriend, Ashley." His eyes gazed into mine, "Together, we can make this business obey the both of us. We can even be close again like we were in Ring of Honor."

I couldn't escape his firm grip and started feeling tears falling from my eyes, looking up at him as he spoke to me. He worn his jet black gloves that had an extra grip and I still couldn't escape from him. Suddenly, Roman came into the room and stared at me with widened eyes when he noticed that Seth was all over me.

"You bastard!" Roman shouted.

"Hey, Roman. Listen, man. You should dump Ashley so she can become mine; because let's face it, she couldn't abandon her old best friend and she was just telling me that she missed me. Isn't that right, darling?"

"I never said any of that! I told you plenty of times that I don't want you, Seth!"

"And there's no way in Hell that I'll leave her. Get the fuck out of here!" Roman shouted again.

"Why should I leave? I left my mark on your girl already." He said, cackling.

"You did what?" He asked, looking down and noticing a small mark around the side of my neck. The look in Roman's eyes was enough to mortify you.

I watched as Roman ran out of the locker-room and began slamming Seth against the trash cans and rammed steel chairs through his stomach, repeatedly slamming them against his back, and making him cough up blood all over the floor.

"Don't you ever touch her again, you hear me?"

I proceeded to watch him bloodying Seth and watching as the blood continued to spill out from his mouth and collided with his beard. The officials ran towards them in attempt to split them apart, but that didn't stop them.

"You're fucking dead, Rollins!" Roman shouted, "I will kill you with my own two hands! Don't you ever fucking touch Ashley!"

I felt absolutely frightened, my body was trembling and I had no other choice but to lock my locker-room door. While it was locked, I heard Roman trying to open the door and heard him pleading. "Ashley, please open the door. I'm so sorry!"

"Baby. I'm sorry. Please, let me in." He began sobbing.

I've never heard Roman cry before. I opened the door and he immediately pulled me into a hug.

"Listen, I forgive you, Roman."

"I feel terrible about everything and I didn't mean for you to be terrified earlier. I don't want to lose you to anyone else. I just want to show you that I can be a better boyfriend." He continued. He looked at me with sadness in his eyes. "I kept thinking you were going to leave me for him."

"For Seth? You're kidding me, right?" I looked at him and shook my head. "I'm not going to leave you for anyone else. You know that."

Roman
I felt horrible for making the woman I love upset and terrified again. When I found out she was alone in her locker-room and Seth weaseled his way in and started touching on my girl, I snapped instantly. All I could see was red as I hit him with steel chairs. I wanted to hurt him to the point where he'd be in the hospital until the officials took him away. But when he was gone, I had to come check on her the moment they split us apart.

Honestly, I felt like a terrible boyfriend for allowing this to happen again. I couldn't forgive myself to where I began sobbing. I've never cried in front of her before until now. I'm usually someone who refuses to show my emotions, but I felt a different way when it came to Ashley.

RAW - February 2, 2015

The authority called me out to the ring. I had to keep my cool around Seth after beating him up and realized how the bleeding stopped after what happened between us. However, Hunter and his wife, Stephanie McMahon, stood around me while I remained silent.

"As you all are aware, we listen to the WWE Universe." Hunter said.

"And we're listening to all of you right now!" Stephanie said to the crowd. I rolled my eyes in disgust in the back and it was very noticeable on the camera. But I didn't care.

Stephanie whispered into Hunter's ear while he looked interested and nodded, "So change of plans. Here's what I propose! This is an interesting situation; you all have a claim on it so tonight, in this ring, we have a match. Daniel Bryan versus Seth Rollins. The winner goes on to Fastlane to face Roman Reigns. The winner of the match at Fastlane goes to WrestleMania to face Brock Lesnar one-on-one."

My blood began boiling after he said that. Hunter and Stephanie were trying their hardest to strip away my WrestleMania moment if I were to lose my match against Daniel Bryan.

"Whoa. Roman just got screwed, guys," said Booker T on commentary.

"Now the thing is, Roman. You're the one with everything to lose here. But, you have an opportunity here to end the debate, to shut down all the controversy, to get rid of the asterisks next to the name; to stop all the booing. Just accept this."

"Roman, don't listen to them, okay? How about this, I beat Seth Rollins tonight; and you and I wrestle at Fastlane and we rip each other apart, and we tear the house down and we go out and prove who deserves to be in the main event of WrestleMania!" Daniel said.

The crowd went berserk until Seth picked up the mic and looked at me.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey, hey! No one wants to see Roman Reigns versus Daniel Bryan. Roman, we both know that you'd break him in half real quick. To be honest with you, if you don't accept this offer, it's really because you're afraid to face me. I mean, let's be honest here." Seth said.

I looked at him like he was talking a bunch of nonsense. It took everything out of me to hold back my laughter. After what I just did to him before the show, he really thinks I'm scared of him? I'll show him no mercy when the time is right.

"You don't have the guts if you don't say yes to this." Seth added.

"So what do you say, Roman?" Stephanie asked.

"What do you say? It's your choice. Do you accept this? Yes or no?" Hunter looked at me and grinned whilst the crowd began chanting, "Yes! Yes! Yes!"

"Screw it. I'll fight you, I'll fight you. It's been one versus all the whole time. Let's do it." I said, glaring over at Seth and then Daniel.

"There, we have our match. Daniel Bryan versus Seth Rollins tonight. The winner faces Roman Reigns at Fastlane. The winner goes on to WrestleMania to face Brock Lesnar one-on-one!" Hunter said with excitement in his voice.

At this moment, I was very infuriated and if he were to take my moment away from me, there would be hell to pay.
