Chapter 47) Heartbreak & Pain
Ashley
Heartbroken. It was hard to process what I just seen on the titantron in front of thousands of people. I was humiliated, ashamed, and disgusted with myself. I loved Roman. Why would he allow Charlotte to kiss him on the cheek while I was gone with Eva? Speaking of Eva, I needed to talk to her.
After I called her, I couldn't control my emotions as I explained to her about what transpired earlier during Fastlane.
"He what?" Eva shouted through the phone.
"Yeah, he cheated on me for Charlotte Flair."
"Girl, you deserve so much better. Fuck him!"
I began sobbing over the phone.
"Ashley, do you want me to beat his ass?"
"No." I sniffled.
"You know I would for you. I love you."
"I love you too, Eva."
After finding out that Roman cheated on me for Charlotte, I couldn't stop sobbing. Eva being here for me through the phone was comforting. She was already becoming one of my best friends, more like a sister.
I hung up the phone with Eva and I was going to see her tomorrow so I could get my mind off of Roman. I thought he loved me, but then again, I knew love wasn't for me after what happened many years ago.
I crawled into bed and continued sobbing uncontrollably with the blanket pulled over me. I asked for a new room in the hotel after the show so I didn't have to be around Roman.
I started to hear my door creek and then I heard a deep voice as I felt someone sitting at my bedside. "Hey."
I looked up from the blanket and it was none other than Seth Rollins.
"Why are you crying this late at night?" He asked, "I could hear you across the hallway."
"Seth, I don't want you in here."
He tilted his head. "Why not? I heard about what happened and I wanted to say that I'm so sorry, Ashley."
"It's alright."
He scooted closer to me and I could smell his cologne lingering around me. He looked at me with concern in his eyes and his hand intertwined with mine. Where was this Seth Rollins when I needed him?
"Ashley, I-"
I sighed, "What is it?"
"Look, I know we got onto the wrong foot but I knew he wasn't good enough for you, Ash."
"Seth, I still remember those things you said about me before you kidnapped me, and I'll never forgive you. I suggest you leave. I'm asking you nicely."
"Ashley, I didn't mean any of that, please."
"If you didn't mean any of that, then why did you say it? You know exactly how I feel over things like that!" I interrupted him.
"Maybe I was just jealous because Roman was your boyfriend and I wanted to make you happy."
"Where was this Seth when I needed him the most, huh? You told me that nobody liked me and how you were only friends with me because you pitied me. I want you out of here!" I shouted.
"Fine, whatever." Seth stood up and walked towards the door.
Before he left the room, he looked at me with his hand on the doorknob, "Just so you know, I'd do anything for you because I love you; and to tell you the truth, I don't like seeing you heartbroken like this. I've always loved you. I just wasn't good at showing my emotions towards you at the time. Goodnight, Ashley."
I sighed as he left the room and before I said anything back, he closed the door and left. Seth turned into this monster the moment we were in Ring of Honor; moreover, I looked into those dark brown eyes of his. The eyes of my old best friend who had betrayed me for everyone else. I couldn't trust someone like him again after the things he said and for his past actions.
He tried splitting-up Roman and I by kidnapping me twice. The things he said to me were as painful as anything else I've ever heard in my entire life. Although I loved him when we were in high school together, I never wanted to risk our friendship at the time. He and I were the best of friends. He always made sure nobody bullied me and always checked up on me when I wasn't having a good day. Nowadays in the WWE, I no longer feel that love I once had for him.
I attempted to sleep as I felt the tears stream down my face.
The following morning, I woke up feeling drained and empty on the inside; especially heartbroken. It was a rainy day, which made things feel worse. I had little-to-no motivation to get one of my outfits on for the day. I wasn't waking up next to Roman Reigns anymore and it felt different. I cooked my own breakfast, took a shower, and applied some small makeup before I left the room to go to the gym and work out.
Thankfully, Eva was coming with me to workout at the gym. I knew that she could help me through this situation. As I made my way down to leave the hotel, I heard a voice emerge from behind me.
"Ashley."
"Leave me alone, Roman."
"Look, let me talk to you."
"No, I don't want to talk to you. If you excuse me, I have to see Eva now."
I walked away and kept myself from crying. For someone who cheated on someone he claimed to love, why weren't you with Charlotte?
I walked outside in disparity. I had the hood from my jacket over my head with my duffel-bag over my shoulder. I was walking to the gym to get prepare for Raw tonight. It was pouring to rain and while I was walking, I started to feel nothing hitting me as an umbrella was over my head. I glanced behind me to seeing Seth attempting to be a gentleman towards me.
"Here, let me walk you to the gym." Seth said with the umbrella over my head.
"Thank you for the offer, Seth. I'm good on my own."
"Alright, I'm still here for you."
I sighed and carried my Nike duffel-bag with my shoulder to the gym. Upon arrival, I seen Eva sitting on the bench inside, waiting for me.
"Hey, Ashley!" She hugged me.
"Hey, Eva."
"It's going to be okay. Let's focus on our workout, shall we?"
"I can at least try. This has been hard on me, and for some reason, Seth keeps trying to be there for me after everything he's done to me. He's changed completely ever since he heard the news that Roman and I broke-up last night."
"What did he do to you?" Eva asked.
"Well, this is going to be a crazy story, but when I was younger, I went to school with Seth and we were the best of friends. Later on when we went to Ring of Honor, he neglected me for everybody else and began bullying me after defending me from that for many years. When we went into the WWE, I fell in love with Roman and we became a couple for almost a year; unfortunately, Seth started trying to ruin our relationship by kidnapping me twice. He also told me that he was just my friend because he pitied me and that nobody truly liked me." I sighed.
"Beautiful, listen to me when I say this, but I feel like he could be regretting his words and actions towards you. He most likely opened his eyes the moment you and Roman broke-up."
"I can't trust him, Eva."
"I'm just saying. I just want what's best for you and I've never seen you upset before."
"I don't want to be in love anymore, Eva."
"That's fine, but you'll at least love me, right?"
"Of course." I hugged her. "Thank you for everything."
We started to work out in the gym until I heard a loud sigh come out of nowhere. I seen Dean with Roman. I noticed Roman looking over at me with sadness in his eyes; which looked puffy as if he's been crying. I looked away from him and then realized that Eva wasn't next to me anymore.
"Why the fuck did you hurt her like that?" Eva slapped him.
"Look Eva, I didn't do anything to Ashley. I swear." Roman looked at me, frowning.
"Sure...She was literally at her worst last night because of you!" Eva shouted.
"Calm down, Eva." Dean looked at her.
"I'm not going to calm down, Dean!" She looked over at Roman. "My best friend is trying to get over you, and you're making it difficult for her just by being here!"
"But I-" He tried to speak.
"Leave!"
"Fine." He huffed. "I'm sorry, Ashley."
He carried his duffel-bag to the other side of the gym with Dean following alongside him.
