Someone Special

Chapter Sixteen

Melody didn't know what was going on, one minute Bray is talking to her and trying to get in her head, the next thing she knew, he said he was going to let her go and was untying her. The things Bray said to her about Roman not being good for her she didn't believe. He was trying to get her to think that Roman was the bad guy and that she should be trusting Bray instead. Bray noticed that the things he was saying wasn't really throwing her off like it had before. He thrived off of chaos and would do anything to screw with people's heads. If he couldn't get in her mind with his words, he would have to do something else. He had a feud with Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, and now he was looking to feud with Roman Reigns. Roman may have the advantage of strength on his side, but Bray was sure that if he destroyed the mind of Roman Reigns that he would be easier to beat. Bray could hear The Shield coming down the hall. Then an idea popped in his head, thid would be the perfect opportunity to mentally mess with Roman and Melody. Surely this would mess things up between Roman and Melody. Bray grabbed Melody by her waist and pulled her close to his body. Melody was shocked and disgusted, she tried to push him away, but he only pulled her closer and shoved his tongue in her mouth and enjoyed the taste of something cherry flavored she had earlier. He felt her shaking and knew that she was afraid so he also enjoyed the taste of her fear. There was nothing Melody could do to get away and to make matters worse, with Bray kissing her, that was the exact moment that she heard the door open and she saw Roman. Dean and Seth were also there, but Roman was the first person she saw and Roman was the one that opened the door. Roman was shocked at what he was seeing. He was shocked, hurt, but also angry, but wasn't sure who his anger should be directed to. Bray stopped kissing her and started laughing as he walked out of the room, he looked back at her and winked saying...

"Thank you Melody for that... amazing experience. Thanks for stopping by... and feel free to do it again next time you feel lonely or need a male companion."

Bray walked down the hall and knew that his plan worked when Roman didn't chase after him. Melody just stood in the doorway speechless over what happened and afraid of what Roman would say or do. Melody avoided direct eye contact with him because she was afraid of what Roman would say. When Roman noticed Melody avoiding him and looking down at the ground, he mistook her fear for guilt and now he was wondering if Melody was the one that kissed Bray and not the other way around, and the fact that she hadn't said anything wasn't helping either. He started thinking that Melody had a guilty look on her face because she had been caught in the act. He suddenly just snaps.

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT MELODY?!"

Melody looked up at him and was scared of his tone.

"I... I didn't..."

"You didn't what?!... Think you'd get caught?!"

Melody was trying to explain herself, but was cut off by Dean and Seth.

"Roman! Bro chill!"

"Right before our match I hear that you're in trouble so we pretty much kill New Day and rush back here and I find you kissing Bray Wyatt!"

Melody remembered something Bray told her and she got upset.

"You think I would do that to you?!... You think I would go behind your back and kiss Bray?! What about you?! You're trying to accuse me of something I didn't do and you... you've admitted to it... You've fucked plenty of women and left them the next day!"

Melody was upset and said something she shouldn't have said that caused Roman to lose his temper. He was pissed off after seeing Bray and Melody kiss and what she said only pissed him off even more. He wasn't thinking and punched a hole in the wall which wasn't far from Melody's head. She was pinned up against the wall because the hall wasn't very wide and when she saw Roman swing to hit she thought he was going to hit her. She screamed and closed her eyes as she heard a piece of the wall crumbling and felt the vibrations of the hit near her head. Dean and Seth pulled Roman back from her. Seth started yelling at Roman.

"Roman calm the fuck down!"

Melody was shocked and scared, she looked at the large hole about the size of a basketball just inches away from the right side of her head, and a thought went through her head.

"Oh my God... He tried to hit me."

All of this happened all at once, Dean and Seth pulled Roman back as that thought went through her head as she looked at the hole in the wall. She was scared and upset that he thought Melody kissed Bray. She couldn't help what she felt anymore and just wanted to run away. Tears ran down her face as she yelled at Roman.

"I didn't...fucking kiss him!"

Melody cried and ran away from all of them. She just needed to be alone. Roman could tell that Melody was really upset now and wanted to go after her, but Dean held him back.

"Melody!"

"Let her go man... Just let her go. She needs to be alone right now, and so do you. It's probably not a good idea to be around each other because you'll only upset each other more."

Roman had a look of concern and remorse on his face as he watched her run until she was out of sight. He wished he could take back what he did. With Bray talking to her he was probably trying to get her to believe that he was the bad guy and that Bray was who she should really trust. After Roman almost hit her he was sure that he only added to the doubt that she had about him. The terrified look she had on her face would haunt him forever. The last time she had a look on her face like that was when her boss broke into her Melody see Roman the same way now? He didn't know where Melody went, but he hoped that it wasn't back to Bray. The thought if seeing Melody with Bray again made his blood boil. He really had to calm down. He was shocked, hurt, and angry when he saw Melody and Bray kissing, but he really should have listened to what Melody had to say instead of jumping to conclusions. He didn't know her side of the story and at the time was only concerned with how he felt without thinking of how she felt. He wished he would have listened to her. Dean and Seth finally let go of Roman. Dean was confused and Seth was pissed off and even hit Roman in the head.

"Roman what the hell were you thinking? With what happened with Abby with Dean and Olivia for me, don't you think you should be there supporting her instead of accusing her of sneaking around with Bray? If there is anyone that needs to be suspicious of anyone sneaking around it should be Melody being suspicious of you sneaking with other women. We all know how you are."

"Seth I haven't done that in three years! I know what it feels like now. Before Melody came along there actually was a girl that I really liked, but she was just using me to buy her things."

Dean had a smirk on his face.

"Looks like the player got played."

Roman rolled his eyes and gave Dean a hit on his shoulder. Seth had something to add.

"How do you know Melody isn't the same way? How do you know she's not just using you for your money?"

"I know Melody isn't like that, when I took her shopping she wouldn't hardly get anything. She still feels bad about me buying things for her. She's worried about finding a job, she wants to do things on her own. I was afraid that when she had what she needed that she wouldn't want or need me around anymore. I may have already ruined that. I wish Abby or Olivia were here to talk to her, they've had their problems with Bray and would know how to help her. They haven't met Melody, but I'm really surprised that they're ok with you and Dean hanging out with her."

"Well unfortunately, they're both out of action because of injuries, but we've already talked to them about her and explained what was going on. Melody is like a sister to me and Dean, and besides, she's your girl. Brothers don't mess around with each other's girls."

Now Dean had something to add.

"You don't always trust women because they used you the same way you used them and they took your money and left."

"I know... I wasn't sure about starting another relationship because when I really thought I found the right girl she just ended up using me. I'm not proud of my past... I've hurt a lot of women that may have actually had feelings for me. I made a promise to myself after my last relationship that I wouldn't get too serious unless I was sure that I found the right girl for me. So... I've had one kiss with Melody and after seeing her with Bray I became possessive and acted like I owned her. That's one thing she didn't want, she wanted to be free and have control of her own life. We haven't had time to really talk to each other since the Smackdown taping or really confirmed that a relationship is going on. She may not even want to be in a relationship, and even if she did... I probably just blew my chance with her, I almost hit her... That's what I do... Ruin every relationship I've ever been in. I really need to talk to her and make this up to her... If she will give me another chance. She probably doesn't want anything else to do with me. I need to prove to her that I've changed and that I'm not the same guy that I was three years ago... If she gives me another chance, I need to really tell her how much she means to me."

Dean looked at Seth then said.

"Go get her, made things right."

After Roman almost hit her she was scared and hurt inside, she couldn't believe Roman would try to hit her or would think she would mess around with Bray Wyatt. If Seth and Dean didn't hold Roman back who knows what would have happened. She had to get away, she was so scared and upset that she needed time to think. She ran away from them, she didn't know where she was goung, but she knew she wasn't goung to run to Bray. He said all the things she wanted to hear, got inside her head, and now set her up to make it look like she kissed him in front of Roman. She ran out of the arena, she knew suicide wasn't the way out, but she just kept running as tears ran down her face. All she wanted to do was run, run away from all of her problems. She was running along the side of the road, it was already dark out and even though it was the end of July, there have been unusual below average night temperatures. The temperature at night had been at least in the 50's. She made it at least two miles away from the arena by running and was now unsure of where she was. At the arena The Shield were looking for her and were afraid that Bray got her again. Seth knew that Melody was upset with Roman and probably didn't want to talk to him so he thought of calling her himself. When Melody heard her phone ringing she looked and saw that Seth was calling her and was trying to decide on if she wanted to answer the phone or not. She decided against it because he would probably hand the phone to Roman. Seth was frustrated when she didn't answer the phone and left a voicemail for her.

"Melody it's Seth, we're all still here at the arena looking for you. I know you're probably still upset with Roman, and it's fine if you are, he was an Asshole earlier. I know you're probably scared right now because Roman almost hit you, but he hit that wall because he's always had a temper. He cares about you, we all care about you and we only want you safe and to help you. Whenever you've calmed down could you please call us back? We're all very worried about you. The Shield may be like brothers, but even brothers disagree with each other every now and then. Dean and I ... We see you as a sister now and we only want to look out for you. You can talk to us about anything, you know that right?... Please just be careful where ever you are, we really think Bray is getting to you're head. Roman isn't really mad at you, he's mad at Bray for getting in his head. Please just call us back... It doesn't have to be right away, but please just call us back so we can know that you're safe."

Seth now had an idea, phones these days could be tracked down.

"Roman! I've got an idea!"

"What?!"

"Most iPhones these days have an app or something that says find my iPhone, you can look for anyone this way."

Seth looked for the location where he ended the call with Melody and it showed that she was at least two miles North of the arena.

"Come on, she's on the move. As long as her phone is on, we can track her down."

The Shield went to their SUV, all of the fans were gone now and they could get out easier. A few minutes after Melody ignored the call she heard and felt her phone buzz again. She looked at it and it showed that she now had a voicemail from Seth. She was sure that if she kept her phone on, they would all keep bugging her so she turned off her phone so she didn't hear the voicemail Seth sent. She ran until she couldn't run anymore. She was upset and started thinking to herself.

"I'm tired of this... I'm tired of running from my problems. I've had just about enough! I can't take this... My emotions are all over the place and it's all because of Roman. One minute he's holding me and comforting me in his arms, then the next thing I know he's about to hit me and he's cussing at me. He thinks that I would mess around with Bray... Does he not know what I've been through with Mark? I don't know why Roman was trying to act like he was so perfect, Bray told me that Roman fucked women and then left them the next day. Roman even told me himself... I shouldn't judge him because of his past, but how do I know he's not planning the same thing with me? I guess I never gave him a chance... I shouldn't have even brought that up, and with him seeing Bray kiss me, no wonder he was so mad at me. He's got feelings too... I guess it really hurt him seeing Bray kiss me. Woah... It's really starting to get chilly out here. It makes me wish that I was still in Florida... I'm getting kind of hungry too. It's dark out here and I didn't really think this through... It's not really safe out here alone at night. I don't know if I want to go back to the arena... Even though it wasn't my fault with what happened with Bray, he still might be mad about what I said. I guess I really blew it this time... People make mistakes, but he's probably had enough of me and is ready to move on... Face it Melody... This is no fairy tale... You can play hard to get all you want now... Roman isn't going to come after you."

Melody was interrupted from her thoughts when she heard a car horn beep at her. It was The Shield, they found her. Melody couldn't believe it, they did come after her. Roman was driving and he pulled off the road in front of her then got out of the car. Dean and Seth stayed in the car, but later on rolled down the windows once Roman left so they could listen in on the conversation. Melody stopped walking now and looked at Roman who was standing near her, but with just the right amont of space they needed. He could see that her eyes were red from crying and some of the tears that were falling down her face. He could see her holding her arms and shivering from the cold and from being scared. Her red eyes and tears that ran down her face was enough to break her heart. He stopped himself from hurting her physically, but it broke his heart seeing her cry like this. He had been the cause of her emotional pain. It seemed like Melody was always getting hurt somehow, but most of the time it was emotional pain. It was no wonder she tried to commit suicide before, he was really surprised that she hadn't tried again. A person could only go through so much pain. They look at each other, neither of them saying a word. Roman slowly starts making his way over to her, she is still scared because of what happened earlier and took a few steps back.

"Stay away from me!"

"Melody please... Just listen to me."

"Why should I?! When I tried to tell you what happened, you snapped at me... You even tried to hit me."

"I know and I'm sorry, I let my emotions get the better of me... I've always had a hard time controlling my emotions. I almost hit you and I scared you... I should have listened to what you had to say... I can't apologize enough for what I've done. I'm so... so sorry Melody... What I've done is... unforgivable."

Melody actually took a few steps closer to him when she noticed something different about him.

"Roman?... You're crying."

He didn't say anything about that, he only continued what he was saying.

"I hurt you Melody... I'm supposed to be here to protect you, but I ended up hurting you. I know I can't take back what I did... But I would do anything to take the pain away... All I've done is push you away... I don't blame you if you hate me now and never want to see me again. You don't have to travel with me anymore if you don't want to... I'm sorry if I made you feel like you had to... I'm not trying to take away your freedom, you're a grown woman and you can do what you want. I started getting possessive over you... I'm sorry if I made you feel like you were a tradable item, but you're not... You're one of a kind. You deserve better... The very best... I don't deserve another chance... Melody... I don't even deserve you."

Melody felt touched by what he was saying. The sincerity of his voice, and the look in his eyes, every word he said he meant. Melody now wrapped her arms around him.

"I'm sorry Roman... For what you saw with Bray... I don't know if you believe me, but Bray... He kissed me. I'm sorry about what I said earlier."

"Don't worry about it... I wanted to apologize... For my temper, whatever happened with Bray, for everything."

Neither of them said anything else. Roman could feel how cold Melody was getting and he heard her stomach.

"It's kind of cold out here, and you seem hungry... If you still want to travel with us, we could get something to eat somewhere that's warm just for you."

Roman gave her a small smile and waited on what she had to say. Her stomach rumbled again and she shivered again. She then gave him a small smile.

"That would be nice."

Roman actually had a hoodie that he was wearing, he took it off and handed it to Melody and smiled.

"Here... You need this more than I do."

Melody smiled as she pulled it over her head. It was so big on her and since Roman was wearing it, it was still nice and warm for her.

"Thank you."

"And when we get back to the hotel, maybe we can talk somewhere whereDean and Seth Are not listening to us!"

Roman and Melody look towards the car and see Dean and Seth put their heads back in the car and start rolling up their windows. Melody laughed at this and took Roman's hand.

"Come on... Let's go."

Roman laughed and they made their way to the car when Roman opened the door for Melody to get in first. They were then riding down the road and at the moment, the only thing Roman had on his mind was settling the score with Bray. He planned on calling out Bray on Raw, but right now it was time to enjoy the rest of the night with Melody and his Shield brothers.

Someone Special

Chapter Seventeen

When Roman and Melody get back to the hotel, Roman really wanted to talk to Melody, but after the night they've had he was surprised that she even wanted to travel with him let alone speak to him. He could tell that Melody was tired and wanted to go to sleep. They hadn't really said anything to each other since Roman found her walking on the side of the road, even when they went to eat they didn't talk to each other. That could have been because Dean and Seth were with them, but even when they got to their hotel room they still didn't talk, even after five minutes. There was this awkward silence between them. It was like they meeting each other all over again, things seemed weird between them before anything happened with Bray. Every time Bray was around, things only seemed to get worse for them, but the awkwardness between them really started after Roman and Melody kissed. They never really had a chance to talk and if they were going to, they would have to before it was time to leave for Raw the next day. Melody looked over at Roman getting his stuff ready for the next day.

"I'm going to go take a shower."

Roman looked at her as she took what she needed into the bathroom.

"Ok."

Melody had a frustrated look on her face as she grabbed her shampoo bottle. She was out of her favorite green apple shampoo and knew that she would have to use the small bottled shampoo the hotel provided. With her hair being as long as it was that could be a problem. She knew this was a problem because with the cheap hotel shampoo , you were lucky if you had enough shampoo for one shower. She sighed in frustration and threw her empty shampoo bottle in the trash. While Melody was in the shower this gave Melody and Roman time to think .

"I'm such an idiot... Things haven't been right between me and Melody ever since the kiss. Now with all of this shit happening with Wyatt, Melody is becoming more distant from me now than when I met her. My anger was directed to the wrong person, I took my anger out on the wrong person. I took my anger out on her when I should have taken my anger out on Wyatt. Of course ... I was a stupid Asshole earlier when I punched the wall and scared her off. It's a good thing Seth did that iPhone tracking thing, otherwise I might have never found her. I'm glad we found her when we did, who knows what could have happened to her if we never found her. Melody wants to be an independent woman, she doesn't like to feel like a burden to anyone so she doesn't ask for anyone's help. She's tired... She's physically tired from traveling, and she's mentally and emotionally tired from all of the shit that's happening to her. I can't say I know all of what she wants, but it's what she needs that's really important... She needs a place to stay, not just go from hotel to hotel, but an actual place she can stay to call home, she needs a job, and she needs people that will be there for her. I want to be there for her, but I don't know if she wants me around. Dean... He sees her like a sister. I guess Seth does too, but Dean was really protective of her the day she tried to commit suicide. He lost his own sister to suicide so I guess Melody reminds him of his sister and he wants to be around to protect her. I was such an Asshole earlier, she was so terrified of me, I'm supposed to be here to protect her, but instead I just keep screwing things up. She came with me this time, but if I screw up again she might not give me any more chances. I've got to make it up to her or I'd end up losing her... I just want to see her happy and smiling again. I have to make it up to her somehow."

He knew it wasn't going to make up for everything, but it was a start... He remembered seeing Melody throw away her shampoo bottle, he had another idea and grabbed the car keys. He was sure that Dean and Seth wouldn't need to go anywhere so he knocked on the bathroom door to let Melody know that he was leaving.

"Melody... I'm going to the store, I'll be back in a few minutes."

"Ok."

Melody could hear the room door shut and knew that he left. Now Melody was alone with her thoughts.

"Things seem a little better now... I still can't believe Roman almost hit me. Why did I come back here?... Things seemed weird before anything happened with Bray. Things first started getting weird... I guess after he kissed me. We haven't really had time to talk as much as I'd like. I just feel like such a burden... I've had to travel with Roman from hotel to hotel and he's bought me things... He probably think that I'm just using him for his money... Maybe he's keeping me around so he can try to screw me sometime. Will he just move on when he's tired of me? This just doesn't seem real... Roman is a WWE Superstar, and I'm just a nobody. How does this happen? Why would Roman even pay attention to a girl like me? We've just been traveling so much and going from hotel to hotel... What's going to happen when The Shield want to see their families? I can't just interrupt time with their families, that's their personal time. I need a job, and I need my own place to stay, I don't know how long I can take all of this traveling. WWE Superstars are used to it, but I'm not a WWE Superstar, I don't think I can take this much longer... I'm physically tired and emotionally tired. I need to get my life straightened out. I haven't been myself for so long... So much stuff has happened, it just seems like I'm always worrying about something. I just want things to go somewhat back to normal... Things will never be normal again. It's hard right now, but I'll figure something out... As for right now I know what I can do... Something I haven't done since that night at the bar."

Melody would sometimes sing to calm herself down, she would usually sing in the shower, but the last time anyone heard her sing was at the bar. She's been so stress with everything that's happened that she hadn't felt like singing. Melody was nervous when there wasn't music on, she could sing in front of people, but there had to be music playing. The radio wasn't on, but Roman left and she was alone so she decided to sing whatever felt right, she thought of the perfect song to sing and put her heart and soul into every word as she started singing.

(The song she started to sing was called Temporary Home by Carrie Underwood.)

(First Verse)

Little boy, six years old, a little too used to bein' alone. Another new mom and dad, another school, another house that'll never be home. When people ask him how he likes this place, He looks up and says with a smile upon his face...

(Chorus)

This is my temporary home, it's not where I belong. Windows and rooms, that I'm passin' through... This is just a stop, on the way to where I'm going. I'm not afraid because I know, this is my temporary home.

(Second Verse)

Young mom on her own, she needs a little help, got nowhere to go. She's lookin' for a job, lookin' for a way out, cause a halfway house will never be a home. At night she whispers to her baby girl, someday we'll find a place here in this world...

(Chorus)

This is our temporary home, it's not where we belong. Windows and rooms, that we're passin' through... This is just a stop, on the way to where we're going. I'm not afraid because I know, this is our temporary home.

(Third Verse)

Old man, hospital bed, the room is filled with people he loves. And he whispers don't cry for me, I'll see you all someday. He looks up and says, I can see God's face.

(Chorus)

This is my temporary home, it's not where I belong. Windows and rooms, that I'm passin, through... This was just a stop on the way to where I'm going. I'm not afraid because I know, this was my temporary home... This is our temporary home.

Melody felt a little better once she was done singing. Music always made her feel better no matter what kind of mood she was in. She felt like with her current situation that she could easily relate to this song. She was actually in the shower a lot longer than she thought. She was lost in her thoughts and then sang that song, she spent an extra ten minutes and didn't know Roman came back. She changed and then realized that she forgot her hairbrush in the room. She left the bathroom and went to get her hairbrush and then noticed that Roman was back and wondered how long he's been back and how much he's heard. She was surprised when she saw a few things he had in his hands. She blushed a little, but smiled and said.

"Roman... When did you get back?"

Roman smiled back at her and started walking up to her.

"A few minutes ago?"

"So... How much did you hear?"

Roman laughed a bit but answered her.

"I didn't hear your whole song, but I would guess most of it."

Melody blushed and looked away. She didn't expect Roman to come back so soon. He could tell that she was embarrassed.

"I don't know that song... But you'rereally good Melody."

Melody still had a blush on her face but looked up at him and gave him a small smile. Roman then showed her what he had in his hands. He had some flowers for her, they were roses mixed with a few daisies. She also noticed a big teddy bear, what looked like an envelope, and was really surprised when she saw green apple shampoo. He smiles at her and hands her these things things one by one.

"Roman... What's all this?"

Roman had a serious look on his face and avoided looking at her.

"Why don't you read the card first?"

Melody put the flowers on the table beside the bed and put the bear and shampoo on the bed, then opened the card. On the front there were two words printed on the front that read, I'm Sorry. There were also flowers on the front of the card with a sad face. Melody flipped it to look at the inside. Three words were printed on the inside that read, Please Forgive Me. On the rest of the card things were hand written on the left and right side of the card, the rest of the space was taken up by a hand written message, Melody read the card.

"I don't think the space on this card will even be enough space for me to say what I want. I can't say I'm sorry enough, I took my anger out on the wrong person, you didn't deserve that. If it's what you want, I want to be with you, to protect you and make you smile. I have a lot to do to make it up to you, but this is a start. I don't think I deserve your forgiveness or another chance, but I hope I at least made you smile... You have a smile that could brighten the whole world. P.S. I know how much you hate hotel shampoo and I know you like green apple shampoo so I got you more, which is perfect for your long, beautiful hair." -Roman

Roman had to write small and wondered if Melody could read it all, he really did take up the whole inside of the card. He wanted to write more, but there was only so much room on the card. Melody finished reading the card, smiled and looked at Roman before giving him a hug, Roman was surprised but hugged her back. Her heart was racing and she couldn't stop smiling.

"Roman..."

"Yes Melody?"

"I forgive you."

Roman was so relieved to hear those words. He fixed things this time, but what would happen the next time he messed up? Those thoughts were gone the second Melody surprised him and kissed his cheek. It was the first time Melody ever took action in a romantic relationship, especially since this was her first. She was slightly worried that she went a step too far, but then remembered that Roman kissed her the other day and now he got her a card, flowers, a teddy bear, and even her favorite shampoo. Roman was surprised , but smiled as he held her in his arms.

"Thank you Roman, this was really a nice surprise, you've really made me happy."

"That's what I was hoping for."

They let each other go and Melody put the card beside the flowers he got her, she put the shampoo in her bag. She couldn't believe Roman went out and bought shampoo for her. She looked over on the bed and noticed the teddy bear sitting there. She picked it up, felt how soft it was and gave it a squeeze. Roman gave her a smile.

"What are you going to name him?"

"Him? It's a girl bear."

"Ok... What are you going to name her then?"

Melody took a moment to think of a name.

"She looks like a Sophie to me."

Melody then remembered what she came in the room for. She came in to grab her hairbrush. Her hair was actually drying fast. The more she brushed her hair, the faster it dried. When she came back in the room she was tired now and ready to go to sleep. Roman still wanted to talk to her, but he would have to do it once she woke up. Melody was happy and all of the things she was worried about seemed to disappear when she was with Roman. Things slowly started to feel somewhat back to normal between them. Roman still wanted to respect her boundaries so he lay on his side of the bed. Melody wondered why and rolled over closer to him.

"Roman..."

Roman turned back over to face her. She lifted up his arm and moved it around her, this was how she was comfortable sleeping, in his arms. It gave her a sense of comfort and safety. Roman smiled at this, he also enjoyed having Melody in his arms when they went to sleep. He kissed her forehead and held her close.

"Good night Melody."

"Good night Roman."

They soon fell asleep together. No matter how strong Bray's mind games were, no matter how hard he tried to mess things up, the more time Roman and Melody spent together, the more comfortable they felt around each other. This wasn't over, Bray still had more tricks up his sleeve to make them doubt one another.

The next day Roman and Melody seemed to wake up at the same time. Roman smiled as he saw Melody open her eyes. Melody was happy, the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was Roman's gray-blue eyes looking back at her. She smiled and blushed and wondered how long he had been awake and how long he had been staring at her.

"Good morning Melody."

"Good morning Roman. How long have you been awake?"

"Not long, I just woke up actually. Did you sleep ok?"

"Yeah, how about you?"

"I slept great."

Both of them were quiet for a moment and wondered what the day would be like.

"So Roman, Raw is later tonight, are we going to workout before the show?"

"We can, but I was hoping that we could take it easy today and just talk. With all of the live events, house shows, traveling with Dean and Seth... sometimes it's hard to have a conversation with just you."

"Ok, what do you want to talk about?"

"There's actually a lot on my mind, but we've got all day... I need to know what happened between you and Bray. I need to know what he's been saying to you... and how you two ended up kissing."

Melody was afraid he would bring this up, she didn't want to talk about it because of the way Roman acted. Roman could tell Melody didn't want to talk about it, but Roman wanted to know.

"Please Melody... I promise I won't get mad. I just need to know what happened."

Melody sighed and realized that she would have to tell him sooner or later.

"So... Bray's words didn't really get to me this time. There were a few things he said that did make sense... He said that the people in this world are afraid of what they don't understand and they judge someone like me because I'm different. He said that there is something special about me that sets me apart from everyone else. He told me the last time I saw him that you went around with other women, he called you a pretty boy and told me that I shouldn't trust you. He said that he could understand me more than you could. Then he says that he was letting me go. He unties me, turns me around, and the next thing I know... he's kissing me. That was when you opened the door... I swear Roman... he kissed me, not the other way around. He didn't get to me with his words, but he freaked me out when he kissed me."

Roman nodded his head and it seemed like he understood.

"Ok, that's all I needed to know, but now there is something I want to talk to you about. I already told you that the part Bray said about me going from one woman to another was keyword there is WAS. I know it can be hard to believe that people can change, but Bray wants you to believe that I'm still the same guy I was three years ago. I was a different man three years ago... I would get drunk and mess around with any girl I felt like. Then about a year ago, I met someone I really liked, we dated for a few weeks and I really had feelings for this girl and I thought she felt the same way, but she was just using me for my money. I was crushed when I found out that she left me for a guy with more money and then realized that other women may have felt about the same after I left them. Since I then understood what it felt like to be hurt and used, I promised myself that I wouldn't say how I felt about a girl until I knew that she was someone special. That night we got into our first fight and I went to a bar... I only had one drink. I was an asshole that night and something changed my mood quick. It was the song I heard... It was the same song we danced to earlier that day. It reminded me of you... Melody... You talked to me about how your parent's relationship, and I really hope that you won't judge someone because of their past and be afraid to be in a relationship. You deserve to be in a relationship with someone that will make you happy. You should know that in a relationship, things aren't always going to be perfect, people make mistakes. If two people really like each other, I think they will stick together no matter what. I know we've known each other for about three weeks now, but I've been thinking about this for a few days now..."

"What?"

"Maybe three weeks isn't long enough, and you may have your mind made up already, but I've been thinking about this for a few days now and I wanted you to know that you had a choice. You're free to do what you want, but there's something I've been wanting to ask you."

"What is it?"

"I really like you Melody... I think I have feelings for you, and I was really hoping that you would give me a chance... So I could ask you to be my girlfriend."

Roman was quiet as he gave Melody time to think and respond. Melody was surprised, this was the first time anyone asked her to be their girlfriend. She noticed that Roman was gently holding her hands. This reminded her of the day they kissed, only now they weren't dancing to any music. She looked into Roman's eyes and noticed the same look he gave her the day he kissed her, and the same look he gave her the night before when he was apologizing to her. Melody couldn't deny her feelings for him anymore, she felt her heart beating, and she gave him a smile while blushing slightly and she intertwined her fingers with his.

"I will Roman... I'll be your girlfriend."

Roman had the biggest smile on his face, he was so happy that Melody wanted to be his girlfriend that he let go of her hands only to pick her up by her waist and spin her around in a circle before he put her back down and brought her into a hug.

"I can't believe it... You'll really be my girlfriend?"

Melody giggled at this and hugged him back.

"Yes.. I will."

"Great!"

Roman was about to kiss her until he remembered that he needed to take things slow, especially since this was Melody's first relationship. The first time he kissed her he surprised her and may have even caused her to freak out, so he wanted to ask her to make sure it was ok.

"Um... Melody?"

"Yes Roman?"

"May I... May I kiss you?"

Melody giggled and thought it was funny that Roman was asking, especially since he's kissed her before.

"Yes... You don't have to ask."

Roman smiled before he leaned down and kissed her gently. Melody closed her eyes and melted into the kiss as he held her in his arms. This time it was longer than than their first kiss and now Melody could kiss him back. It was a gentle and sweet kiss just like the first time. They let go of each other and both had a smile on their faces. Roman was the first one to speak.

"So... We're officially together now. What do you think about this?"

"It's great... I feel really happy about this... Being with you, it's better than I thought it would be."

"We still have the whole day ahead of us... You had mentioned something about working out."

"Yeah... Do you want to?"

"Sure, I'm up for anything with you. There's actually a gym here at the hotel, so we don't really have to leave the building."

"Ok cool."

Melody and Roman made their way down to the first floor and down a hallway until they saw a gym. It had treadmills and several different weight lifting places. Melody got on a treadmill and started running, she was right across from Roman and could see what he was doing. His strength impressed her, and after ten minutes he took his shirt off. Melody couldn't help but smile, blush, and stare at him as she thought to herself.

"Oh my God... He's so hot!"

After ten minutes on the treadmill Melody decided that she needed a break and sat over beside Roman and started drinking water.

"Hey Roman... How is your weight lifting going?"

"Fine. How was your run?"

"Fine... Do you think I could do that?"

"What bench pressing?"

"Yeah... Women can lift weights too."

"Have you ever done it before?"

"Not since middle school... Will you help me?"

"Of course... But we're starting you off easy."

After a five minute break Melody was laying down at the bench press area. Roman knew he had to be careful with Melody because people have gotten hurt from trying to lift too much. He started her off with no weights. He held onto the weight lifting bar with her at first because she seemed nervous and unbalanced.

"It's ok... I'll be right here with you the whole time. If I think you need to stop, then we'll stop. I'm here for if you really start to struggle lifting."

"Ok."

Once Melody got used to lifting the weight bar, they moved onto five pounds. The weights increased by five pounds as you went up. Melody easily went through at least fifty pounds without really needing help. After she got up to seventy-five pounds Roman was impressed. He noticed Melody start to struggle, but she got seventy five pounds up.

"Ok... Seventy-five pounds is impressive, but I think we should stop here."

"Wait... I think I can do a little better. Please let me keep going."

Roman wasn't sure that it was a good idea, but he would help her if she really needed it. Now Melody had eighty pounds, she had to push with everything she had, but she made it to eighty.

"See... Back in middle school, I think I got to maybe ninety or one hundred pounds."

"Yes, but you probably did it with your gym class. You said you haven't done it since middle school, I don't think it's a good idea to try to get to ninety or one hundred pounds if you haven't done it since middle school."

"Please Roman, I'm only ten pounds away from ninety. I promise I'll stop if I can get to ninety."

"I really don't think it's a good idea to continue... You struggled with seventy-five and barely got eighty pounds up. If you push yourself too far, you could get hurt, and I don't want to see you get hurt. Maybe overtime if you start working out regularly, we'll get you back up to ninety, one hundred, or maybe even past that, but for today I think we need to stop."

"Ok... How long have we been here now?"

"At least over an hour or so. How about we get cleaned up and go get some lunch?"

"Sounds good to me."

Melody got up and walked over to Roman and gave him a kiss. They were surprised when they heard people shouting at them. They looked over in that direction and noticed Dean and Seth walking their way. Melody blushed and Roman just had an annoyed look on his face. Dean gave Roman a smirk and a playful pat on the back.

"Looking good Brotha... I saw that little kiss."

Dean and Seth then started doing kissing noises at Melody and Roman.

"Aw come on... You guys kiss your girls in public."

Seth smirked.

"We know... We just like giving you a hard time about it. She's got you whipped already."

"So what?... I'm not ashamed. I've got nothing to hide. She's my girlfriend now... If we want to kiss then we'll kiss."

Roman proves his point by giving her a quick kiss. Melody smiled in the kiss and was happy that Roman wasn't embarrassed of her.

Dean then changed the subject.

"Ok, so how long have you been here? Seth and I just got here?"

"We've been here a little over an hour, but we're going to go get cleaned up and go get lunch. I guess we'll see you guys later when it's about time for Raw."

Roman and Melody leave the gym hand in hand with their fingers intertwined again just to show everyone that they were together. Things seemed ok at the moment, but what would happen later on at Raw? What mind games would Bray play next?

Someone Special

Chapter Nineteen

Roman and Melody spent most of the day together, every second since Roman asked Melody to be his girlfriend she's had the biggest smile on her face. It just didn't seem real, three weeks ago she was just a fan of his, but now she was his girlfriend. Her mood only changed when she started seeing comments on pictures of them from Twitter. Roman could tell that she was getting upset and wrapped his arm around her.

"Hey... Don't let what people say online bother you. These people don't know you and probably wouldn't dare say any of those things to your face, especially with me around. You shouldn't let what people think bother you. I really like you and wanted you to be my girlfriend. I think you're absolutely beautiful Melody... Don't let anyone tell you different."

Melody smiled and kissed his cheek. Dean and Seth were in the front seat and exchanged looks with each other as they saw Melody and Roman snuggling close in the back seat. Dean had a smirk on his face and said.

"Well aren't you two the cutest? Did you forget that Seth and I were here?"

Melody was quiet and Roman rolled his eyes at them.

"I already told you guys... She's my girlfriend and we can do what we want."

Seth laughed and held up his hands in self defense.

"Ok man... We get it. No harm done, we're happy for you, but we do need to get into the arena."

Dean was having fun teasing them.

"Come on Lovebirds."

There weren't as many fans waiting for them this time since they got there earlier this time. Melody still felt nervous about people seeing her because she didn't know what they would say. The Shield got their bags out of the car and at first Melody just followed behind them until Roman remembered what happened the last time they went in. The last time they went in, someone grabbed her. Roman had a rolling bag behind him, he stopped and then grabbed Melody's hand. The people behind the barricade cheered, but Roman made sure that he was on the side closer to the crowd so that Melody was safe. Once they were in The Shield's locker room, Roman knew he had to do a better job of protecting Melody from Bray. After Melody was abducted even from the diva's locker room Roman thought that the safest place for Melody would be in The Shield's locker room. It just so happened that Roman would be the only one in front of a crowd. He planned on going out there by himself and calling out Bray while Dean and Seth watched over Melody. Roman left the locker room to go to the ring to call out Bray. Melody was slightly embarrassed that Dean and Seth were having to watch over her, but she was also thankful that she was with someone she knew this time.

"Thanks for sticking around guys."

Seth was the first to respond back.

"Sure, no problem. Roman wanted to call out Bray and he wanted us to watch over you."

Melody blushed a bit.

"It's kind of embarrassing... I'm twenty four years old and I feel like you guys are babysitting me."

Dean pat her back.

"That's not how we see it. The Shield is like a brotherhood. You're like a little sister to us now Melody, you're very important to us too. We just want to make sure that you're safe."

Melody smiled and gave them both a hug.

"Thank you guys... I've always been the oldest in my family, I never knew what it was like to have a protective older brother... Now I have two. I can't help but worry about Roman..."

"He's a tough guy, smart too. He knows how to get out of dangerous situations."

Something weird started happening. The lights started flashing the same way they did in the diva's locker room when Melody was abducted and Melody starts freaking out and hides behind Dean and Seth. Dean and Seth watch the door and were prepared for a fight. The lights go out and Melody screams. Lots of shouting and other noises were heard. The lights came back on and showed Luke Harper with a chair hitting Dean, and Erick Rowan hitting Seth with a Kendo Stick. Melody screamed as she watched the attack, she didn't know what to do. Luke and Erick were there, but where was Bray? Seth and Dean started fighting back to keep Luke and Erick away from Melody. It took all of Dean's strength to keep Luke away and he yelled something at Melody.

"Melody!... Find Roman!... Run to the ring!"

Melody hesitated for a moment because she felt bad about what was happening. They continued to fight and Seth noticed that Melody was still standing there and yelled at her.

"Go!... Run Melody!"

Melody ran right past the men fighting with tears now in her eyes. She was scared, but mostly concerned for Dean and Seth. She ran out of The Shield's locker room. She didn't know where she was going and ran down a hallway. She looked back to see if Luke or Erick were following her. They weren't following her, she ran around a corner but wasn't paying attention to where she was going and bumped into someone. Once she realized who it was, it was too late to run the other way. She screamed as a pair of hands grabbed her and silenced her screams. She tried her best to escape, but he was stronger than her and she ended up being dragged to a dark room. It wasn't completely dark, there was a light that kept flickering and a few candles that were lit. Melody now had tape over her mouth. She could scream all she wanted, but no one would hear her. She was pushed to the ground and instantly someone was on top of her. She struggled, but it was no use, she was held down, laying on her stomach as her arms were tied behind her back in a tight knot. Her legs were then tied together around her knees, and around her feet. She was then tied down to a chair and saw a bright light that she later on realized to be a tv monitor. She was scared, but at the same time annoyed. How much longer would she have to deal with this? She was terrified, she had no idea what to expect. She saw Roman in the ring and started worrying about him, he was out in the ring alone and since Dean and Seth were attacked, it was possible that Roman would have to fight The Wyatt Family alone.

Roman was in the ring alone with a mic in his hand.

"I came out here to the ring on my own because recently Bray Wyatt has been sticking his nose where it doesn't belong. I'm calling you out Wyatt, how about you come out here by yourself to this ring and face me like a man?"

Suddenly the lights go out in the arena and Bray pops up on the big screen laughing.

"You think you want me to come out to the ring... But you really don't know what you're asking for. It's funny... Playing with your mind and emotions. You're so easy to manipulate, everyone seems to think of me as a bad guy, but I'm not really a bad guy... I have a gift for you Roman..."

A spotlight shines on Roman and something slowly falls down to him, it looks like a piece of paper at first until Roman realized that it was a picture.

(Instead of the picture being of Roman and his daughter, it was a picture of Bray kissing Melody.)

Roman was surprised when he realized that it was Melody in the picture and started worrying about her. He could hear a reaction from the crowd, but shook those thoughts from his head because he was sure that Dean and Seth were watching over her. Bray then started laughing and spoke again.

"She's beautiful isn't she? I'll never forget what it felt like or how it tasted when she kissed me... Her lips... That day her kiss tasted like something cherry flavored, but also like something else... Fear... I could taste her fear... The fear of the unknown. I tasted this once before... from my beloved Abigail. She is no longer with us, but she wouldn't want me to be alone... No, she would want me to be happy. Melody... She is a lot like Abigail. I think Abigail is looking down at me smiling because finally... I have found my beloved. She is a lot like Abigail, she's been wrongfully judged because she's a little different. I believe that she's someone special, and I'm going to treat her the way she's supposed to be treated. She's been blinded... Blinded by your lies Roman. It will take her time... Time for her to believe my truth, but in time... She will, and soon she will forget you and in time... Love me, the same way I love her."

The camera then focused on Melody and Roman dropped the mic and made his way to the ropes to get out of the ring.

"Where are you going Roman? Mr... Samoan Superman? If you leave now, you'll miss the best part."

Roman stopped for a moment and looked to the screen to see what was going on. The camera switched for a moment to show Dean and Seth still being beat down by Luke and Erick. Then the camera switched back to Bray and Melody.

"It was a good plan, but not good enough... I'm always one step ahead of you Roman... One... Step... Ahead... You're no good for her Roman, you'll only break her heart. You can try all you want, but you can't keep me away from my beloved."

Bray then removes the tape from her mouth, a shout of pain is heard from her, but she's silenced when Bray kisses her. This is enough to make Roman's blood boil. Before Roman can do anything, a shout of pain is heard from Bray once Melody headbutts him. Bray is embarrassed from this and hits Melody in the face.

"That was very foolish Melody. You're going to wish you hadn't done that."

Melody glared at Bray, and now that she had the tape off her mouth, she could say something.

"Go to Hell Bray!"

Bray hit her again and now Roman was out of the ring. Bray felt at his head from Melody's headbutt and laughed.

"You like the fiesty ones... Don't you Roman? That's something we'll have to change."

He hits Melody once more and Roman is livid and made his way to the top of the entrance ramp before Roman hears a scream of pain from Melody. He looks up at the screen and realized that Bray had Melody by her hair and that he had her near one of the candle's flame.

"Stop right there Roman!... Fire... It can destroy even the most beautiful things."

Roman now had a mic in his hand again.

"What do you want Wyatt?! Why did you drag Melody into this?!"

"I didn't drag her into this, you did... The first day you met her, you dragged her into this! All I want is to protect her... To protect her from your lies. Out of all the people she could have been with... It had to be you!"

"Enough!... I've had just about enough of you. You can either come out here, or I can come back there and find you. You're always asking for people to find you... One way or another I'm kicking your ass!"

Bray laughs again.

"Oh we will fight, but it will be on my terms... I hold the playing cards, that means I'm in control. Don't worry yourself too much Roman... You have one less burden on your hands. I'll take good care of Melody for you... And you're going to let me Roman... Because if you really care for her like you say you do, then you'll let her go. She deserves to be happy, and she will be with me. She'll be happy with almost anyone... Anyone... But... You Roman."

Bray then disappears leaving a confused and frustrated Roman. If he did anything to try to save Melody, Bray would hurt her, but if Roman didn't do anything it would look like he didn't care about her and Bray would still hurt her. The lights come back on and Roman could hear a lot of people shouting at him. He turned around and is met with a Superkick from Luke Harper which knocked him out. Melody saw everything that happened, the attack on Dean and Seth was replayed and now the attack on Roman. Melody felt completely helpless and guilty over what happened. Even when she was in The Shield's locker room there was absolutely nothing she could do to avoid ending back with Bray. Tears ran down her face as she was scared of what was going to happen to her and The Shield. Bray blew out the candles in the room and the flickering light was all that was left. Bray noticed that she was upset and started laughing again.

"Don't be upset Melody... I know it hurts now, but soon you'll be able to watch The Destruction of The Shield and feel nothing at all. In time... You will come to love me and my family the same way you love The Shield... Maybe even more."

Melody only cried more and wondered if The Shield would come for her. After the attack she had doubts in her head and was afraid that she would have to accept her fate and become Bray's beloved, and part of The Wyatt Family.

Someone Special

Chapter Twenty

Roman had been knocked out by Luke Harper's superkick, and referees had to come out to check on him. Back in The Shield's locker room, Dean and Seth were just waking up from the attack, they were completely unaware of anything that happened. They had a hard time walking out of the locker room, they were sore everywhere. They came out of the locker room and noticed Roman being helped be referees and took over. Roman seemed out of it until he saw Dean and Seth and then realized where he was and what happened. Dean came over to Roman and shook him to see if Roman knew what was going on.

"Roman... Ro, what happened?!"

Roman was quiet for a moment, he couldn't get what he saw out of his head. There was concern in his eyes and worry in his voice as he said only one word.

"Melody..."

Dean and Seth seemed to understand and backed away. Roman only seemed to get more upset and started yelling at them.

"What the hell happened back here?! You guys were supposed to watch over her! I thought you guys cared about Melody, you guys know how much she means to me!"

Dean was about to yell something back to him, but Seth stepped between them.

"Hey! Roman, Dean, Back up! We do care about her Roman, and we know you're head over heels in love with her, but would you shut up and listen to me for a minute!"

Roman didn't say a word and Seth started talking again.

"We knew The Wyatt's would attack. Dean and I were ready to fight and do whatever it took to keep Melody safe. The lights went out and we were ready to fight. It was just Luke and Erick, but we didn't expect for them to have weapons. Luke had a chair, and Erick had a kendo stick. We fought them off as long as we could. We told Melody to run out to you in the ring, Dean and I got our asses beat and I guess Wyatt got to her first. We did all we could."

Roman wasn't upset with them anymore, but was upset with himself.

"It's my fault, Bray was one step ahead. He wanted us to split up, he knew we were going to split up. He knew I was going to call him out and he knew you guys were going to stay in the locker room with Melody... Damn it! No matter how hard I try, Melody somehow ends up with Bray."

"Well what are we waiting for? Let's go find her and kick Wyatt's ass."

"We can't just go after them, he has Melody and she could get hurt. You guys may not have seen what happened, but Bray had her tied up and kissed her... He kissed her right in front of me and there was nothing I could do about it. She headbutts him and then he slapped her. She told him to go to Hell and he slapped her again. I was running up the ramp to find him and kick his ass myself, but he had Melody by her hair and was threatening to burn her. He said that we will fight, but it will be on his terms. What the Hell am I supposed to do? If I try to find her he'll hurt her, but if I do nothing he'll still probably hurt her."

"So you're telling me that you're giving up on her?"

"No Dean I'm not giving up on her, I just don't know what to do. Bray seems to know our every move."

"That's because you don't know how to play mind games. I haven't really come up with a plan in a while. Our plans have always been put together by The Architect. How did that last plan work out for you Seth?"

"Shut up Dean... Since you're so smart, why don't you come up with a brilliant plan."

Dean gave Seth a smirk.

"Ok I will. You seem to forget that I'm the only person that's ever got inside Bray's head."

"So you're saying we should play mind games on Bray until we get inside his head."

"Yep... Once we get in Wyatt's head, he'll screw up and we'll get Melody back."

Roman liked Dean's idea.

"That actually sounds like a good idea."

Dean smirked at Seth.

"See Seth? You're not the only one that can come up with a brilliant plan. When we're talking Bray Wyatt, it's best if you let The Lunatic Fringe come up with the plans. Don't worry, The Architect and The Powerhouse will get to kick Wyatt's ass, but you have to let me come up with the plan. Bray expects us to come for him, but we're going to make him come to us... To fight crazy... you have to think crazy."

Seth rolled his eyes annoyed at Dean.

"Ok, we'll let Dean handle this one."

Dean has a mischievous smile on his face and starts patting Roman on the back.

"So here's the plan..."

There was still a lot of time left until Raw ended. Bray's promo was at the beginning of Raw. Melody was still tied to a chair and Bray was just pacing back and forth around her trying to predict what The Shield would do next. Bray expected The Shield to barge in and demand Melody back. If The Shield came for Melody, Bray would be ready with consequences. Bray seemed to have a fascination with fire, so he decided to light the candles again. He could tell that Melody was nervous and wanted to have fun with her. He comes up behind her, puts one hand on her shoulder, and with his other hand he plays with her hair. He starts running his hand through her hair the same way you would pet an animal.

"This is great isn't it Melody? I just love this special alone time we get to spend together."

Melody doesn't say anything, she just looks down at the ground feeling helpless and hopeless. Almost an hour had passed since Bray abducted her, she started to believe that The Shield wasn't coming for her. Bray tilted her chin up so she was forced to look at him. Once he did this, her sadness turned to anger.

"Don't touch me!"

"Come on Melody... Why do you have to be like that? I'm only doing what's best for you."

"Bullshit! You're only doing what's best for yourself. You keep talking about someone named Abigail, and you keep calling me your beloved and you don't even know me... Obviously Abigail is someone you loved in the past, you keep comparing me to her. Get this through that crazy mind of yours... There is nothing going on between us and there never will be. I will not be your Abigail replacement. You threatened to burn me... you're out of your fucking mind!"

Bray laughed for a moment and then slapped Melody in the face. Melody fought back the tears from the pain she was feeling and felt mostly anger.

"You should watch your tone and your language. You don't know what you're saying, surely you don't mean that."

"I do mean it! I can say what I want, I'm a grown woman, I can say and do what I want. Just because you have me tied up don't think you have control over me. That's what you want... To control people."

This was getting to Bray because he was getting mad and slapped her in the face again.

"I really would watch what you say Melody... It seems like you could use a lesson in discipline. I would hate to have to bust that pretty little mouth of yours... Why don't you be a good, sweet little girl? I would much rather plant a kiss on your lips than hit them. You're beautiful Melody... The first time I kissed you, I had to have more. I loved the taste of cherry and fear on your lips. You're an addiction... I need more and more of your kiss."

Melody tries to pull away, but Bray pulls her into a kiss. Melody couldn't take it anymore, even though she had no control of the situation she felt like she was cheating on Roman. She really didn't have any control in the situation, every second she spent with Bray was torture and now she had tears rolling down her face. This is what Bray wanted, to have control of the situation. He only stopped kissing her so he could laugh at her.

"I knew you would warm up to me eventually... You're so happy to be with me that you're crying tears of joy."

Bray was going to go back to kissing her until he heard a voice on the tv monitor. This voice belonged to Dean Ambrose.

"Bray! Hey... Bonehead I'm talking to you. I know you can hear me, we're out here."

Bray walks away from Melody and walks up to the tv screen. The Shield is out by the ring. Dean has a mic in his hand and Roman and Seth were standing beside a rocking chair. Dean destroyed Bray's chair, and another chair was brought back when Bray called out The Undertaker around Wrestlemania. That chair was also destroyed, but now here was another rocking chair. Melody was confused and didn't know what was going on. The rocking chair was rocking on its own. There was nobody in the chair, but Dean thought this was the perfect way to play mind games with Bray, Dean started talking to the chair.

"Hi Abigail... I think we've met a few times before. I think Bray is confused... He seems to think that our friend Melody is you, he even kissed her like he would you."

Bray was wide eyed as Dean continued.

"Oh... Bray I would not want to be you. She came back for you like she promised and now you broke your promise to her...You promised Abigail that you would always love her and only her. Aw... You've upset her. She said she saw you kissing Melody."

Bray started talking to the tv screen

"No... I would never do that to you Abigail. I love you."

Melody was confused, but kept watching the screen. Dean kept talking.

"Woah what's that Abigail? You want us to what? Since Bray doesn't care about you all you want us to do is put you out of your misery. Well... Usually we don't hit girls, but if you really want us to we will. If it will make you feel better, we'll do it."

Melody and the crowd was confused as they watch The Shield destroy the chair. This caused Bray to yell and drop to his knees.

"No! Not again!... I will not lose you again Abigail. Luke! Erick! Go down to the ring! Now! Go down there and save Abigail and destroy The Shield!... Hurry!"

Luke and Erick do what Bray asked them and ran down to the ring as fast as they could. Bray continued watching the screen as he saw The Shield triple powerbomb Abigail through a table. The crowd cheered and Bray lost it. The door to the room opened and Bray turned around automatically wishing he hadn't. He was knocked to the ground by a powerful spear by Roman Reigns and Roman kept punching Bray. Dean and Seth were there too untying Melody. Bray and Melody were both confused. Bray looked at the tv monitor and still saw The Shield out by the ring. Roman grabbed Bray by the hair and yelled at him.

"It's a pre-recorded video dumbass! We put this video together before you saw it!"

Bray then realized that he made a mistake by sending Luke and Erick to the ring. Once Melody was untied, Dean and Seth joined in on the attack and Melody watched with a satisfied smile on her face. The now live video was shown to the audience and Luke and Erick. Roman got the most hits in on Bray and he felt at his ribs from when Roman speared him. Roman ran at Bray with full force and was looking to hurt Bray. There was a table in the room and The Shield triple powerbombed Bray, but Roman wasn't done there. Even after they triple power bombed Bray, Roman jumped at Bray and kept hitting him in the face. Dean and Seth wanted to get out of there with Melody before Luke and Erick came back so they had to grab Roman and pull him off Bray. Bray only had a second of air before Roman was back on him, this time Dean, Seth, and a bunch of referees had to hold Roman back. Once they were separated, it was hard to tell if Roman had busted his knuckles or Bray's nose or mouth because there was blood everywhere. As Dean, Seth, and referees pulled him back Roman yelled something at Bray.

"IF YOU EVER TOUCH MELODY AGAIN... I SWEAR I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU! YOU SON OF A BITCH!"

WWE doctors started looking at Bray. He would end up with two black eyes, a broken nose and a busted lip. His face was also swollen, and he even had a bit of hair missing from his head and his beard. He also ended up having a few broken ribs from when Roman ran at him and speared him with full force. With his broken ribs and broken nose, Bray would be forced out of action for at least three months. Most of the blood was from Bray, but Roman had hit Bray so much and so hard that his knuckles bled. Even when the doctors were wrapping up his hand it still took Roman a while to calm down. Dean and Seth gave him space to cool down and told Melody that she should do the same, but she came up behind him concerned.

"Roman?..."

Roman turned around when he heard her, just seeing her was enough to make the look on his face soften. Maybe he shouldn't have went off on Bray the way he did, especially in front of Melody and wondered if he went too far.

Dean and Seth looked at each other and Dean started talking to him.

"I don't think it's a good idea for Melody to be around Roman, especially since she saw Roman almost murder Bray. He even said that he would kill him if Bray touched her again."

"She'll be fine Dean ... It's not her that he's mad at. Bray crossed the line, there are certain things you don't do... The biggest would be don't mess with Superman's Lois Lane."

Chapter Twenty One

Melody couldn't believe what just happened, The Shield planned out how to get her back and found her once they saw Luke and Erick leave the room. Luke and Erick went to the ring because Bray thought The Shield was attacking Abigail. Melody enjoyed seeing Bray get beat down, but it really did seem like Roman was trying to kill him. Dean and Seth kept their distance, but Melody noticed Roman's hand being wrapped up and she could tell that he was still upset over everything that happened. She was concerned and slowly came up behind him, she waited for the doctor to finish wrapping up his hand. Once the doctor left, Roman thought he was alone in the hallway, he thought Seth and Dean were with Melody until he heard Melody call out his name.

"Roman?..."

When Roman turned around to look at her, the look on his face softened when he saw her. He was still pissed off at Bray, but started feeling ashamed of acting the way he did in front of Melody. If he kept acting like this, he would scare her off. Melody slowly came up to him, put her hand on his shoulder and called his name again.

"Roman?"

He looked at Melody and noticed that her face was red from where Bray hit her so many times, it almost brought tears to his eyes seeing her like this.

"Melody... You're hurt, Bray hit you so many times... There was nothing I could do..."

"It's ok Roman, I'm fine, it doesn't even hurt that much. What matters is that you're here now."

Roman still felt bad about what happened.

"I'm just... so sorry for what happened Melody. I really thought you would be safe in the locker room, but Bray will stop at nothing until he gets you."

"Why is that Roman? Why is Bray after me?"

"It could be because he really has feelings for you. He's been trying to find his Abigail replacement for years now. He's targeted Dean's girl, and he's targeted Seth's girl, but apparently he's not only messed with The Shield's girls, he's gone after other women too. Every woman that Bray has gone after has had brown hair and brown eyes. I've never seen Abigail, but she must have had brown hair and brown eyes. What WWE doesn't know about Bray is that he really is out of his mind, but they keep him around for entertainment purposes. He rambles on about random things, but the scary thing is, the crowds are starting to believe what he's saying. He likes to screw with people's heads... When he lost Abigail, he must have lost his mind because he's living in denial and still believes that she's here on earth, that's why he's been searching for her, or at someone that reminds him of her. He must have been abusive to her because the same thing happened to Seth's girl... Whenever she would talk back or not do what he wanted, he would hit her. For whatever reason he doesn't go after Abby or Olivia anymore. He's not going to be around for a few months, but the second he's back, I'm not letting him out of my sight. I'm not going to let him put his hands on you again."

"The worst part wasn't that he hit me, I saw the attack on you guys and I was worried about you, but the worst part was when he kissed me. That day he kissed me the first time and you saw what happened surprised me, but this time it was even worse. He had me tied up and there was nothing I could do about it. He kissed me and I felt terrible about it, I felt like I betrayed you."

"You didn't... Not even the first time, he kissed you. I'm sorry I didn't believe you that day."

Melody could tell that he was starting to calm down, she started rubbing the back of his shoulders.

"I didn't see everything that happened, what happened to your hand?"

"I busted my knuckles open from hitting Bray so much, and so hard. My hand was the only thing that got busted, Bray ended up looking a lot worse. He probably has a few broken ribs, hair missing on his head and from his beard, two black eyes, a swollen face, broken nose and busted lip. He may be missing a few teeth. He said he liked your taste of cherries and fear, right now, and probably for about a week, the only thing he's going to be tasting is his own blood. He'll probably have to eat his meals through a straw for a while."

"Wow... It sounds like you almost killed him."

"If Dean, Seth, and those referees didn't pull me back, I probably would have. You're my girlfriend, and I'll do whatever it takes to keep you safe...even if I have to kill Wyatt to do it."

Melody didn't say anything, she just took her hands and slowly started rubbing them down his back to try to get him to relax. It seemed to work because he took in a deep breath and held it in for a few seconds before slowly releasing the breath. It was weird, usually Roman would be trying to get Melody to calm down not the other way around. Roman still felt bad about fighting in front of Melody. He closed his eyes and took in another breath and slowly released it before speaking again.

"I'm sorry about my temper Melody, but no one is going to put their hands on you. I'm sorry if my temper scared you, I really shouldn't have fought in front of you. I..."

Melody cut him off and gave him a smile.

"You seem to forget that you work for a wrestling company, and that I'm a huge wrestling fan. You don't have to apologize, I like seeing you and The Shield beat people up."

Melody was still behind him, she wrapped her arms around him and gave him a hug from behind. Roman smiled at this and it was like all of his anger left him. Melody could see the smile on his face and he grabbed one of her hands and kissed it, this made Melody smile.

"So... Are you feeling better now? Did I get you to calm down?"

"Yes... I'm feeling much better now that I know you're safe here with me."

"Good, because I want to know how you guys saved me."

"We'll have to ask Dean about that. Hang on."

Melody thought that he meant hang on as in wait, but with her arms still wrapped around him, he held her legs and she held onto him piggyback style as he got up and carried her on his back as he walked down the hallway and to the parking lot until he saw Dean and Seth. Seth looked confused and Dean had the biggest smile on his face trying not to laugh. The Shield wasn't needed for the rest of the night so they were allowed to leave. Melody laughed as Roman put her down.

"Thanks for the piggyback ride Roman, but I can walk."

"Well walking is no fun and I thought you wanted to ask Dean something."

"Oh yeah... Dean, how did you guys come up with the rescue mission?"

"Well Melody, usually Seth comes up with the plans since he is The Architect, but his plan of staying in the locker room didn't work out very well. I'm the only one that's ever got inside of Bray's head so I came up with the plan. The only way to beat someone crazy is to think crazier."

"Ok, so you guys had a pre-recorded video?"

"Yeah, and we got the camera guys to somehow get Bray to see it after we did it live. These camera guys are good at their job. So we all pretended that we saw Abigail, she's pretty much Bray's imaginary girlfriend. Who knows, she may have actually existed at one time, but Bray would always act like he's talking to her like we could all see her. For some reason, Bray believes that every rocking chair possesses the spirit of Abigail so every time a rocking chair is destroyed Bray freaks out. So we smached a rocking chair and pretended that we were beating her up and even triple powerbombed her. The crowd loved it, then we had to hurry backstage before the camera guys showed the video on Bray's tv. We had to hide backstage to make sure no one saw us. Once Bray saw the video I was hoping he would send Luke and Erick out to the ring for Abigail. Luckily my plan worked and we saw exactly where Luke and Erick came out, leaving just you and Bray. By the time the audience saw the live video, Luke and Erick were down at the ring and it was too late for them to come back for Bray. So go ahead... Say it Seth."

Seth rolled his eyes but said what Dean wanted to hear.

"Ok... So my plans don't always work, you're smarter than me when it comes to Bray Wyatt... Great plan Ambrose."

Melody went over to Dean and Seth and gave them both a hug.

"Thank you guys for saving me. I would have thought that you guys would have had enough after Luke and Erick attacked you. I thought you guys were tired of having me around and gave up on me."

"Why would we do that? You're fun to be around. You're part of The Shield now, you're like a sister to us Melody. The Shield is a family, you're family to us now. You don't give up on family, and no one gets left behind."

Melody hugged them again.

"I love you guys."

"We love you too Melody."

Melody was happy that she was considered family to them, but something that Dean said about not giving up on family made her feel sad. It made her think about her own family, her mom and her brother. Her and her brother didn't always get along and the last time she saw her mom, her mom told her that she hated her and Melody lost it and almost committed suicide. Roman could sense a change in her mood and wrapped an arm around her.

"What's wrong?"

"Just... All of this talk about family made me think of my own family... My mom and my brother, and what happened last time I saw them. I know Dean just said that you shouldn't give up on family, but my mom told me that she hated me and wanted nothing to do with me. She even threatened to call the cops if I didn't leave. My brother John, he seems to care about me now, but it wasn't always this way."

"Some things just take time Melody."

"I'm really thankful that you guys cared about me enough to let me travel with you, but I still have things that I need to take care of on my own. All of this traveling is getting to me, I'm still not used to it like you guys are. I just wish that I could find a job on my own and have a place to call home."

Roman smiled at her and kissed her forehead.

"You will... Everything is going to be different now Melody. Things will get better, it just takes time."

Melody smiles at him and agrees. Dean and Seth put their stuff in the back of the car and sit in the back, Roman drives and Melody sat in the front seat. Dean and Seth fell asleep fast, but Melody was having trouble. She could never really sleep and travel. Roman wasn't sure if it was a good idea, but it couldn't hurt to ask.

"Melody?..."

"Yes Roman?"

"I know that we haven't been together very long, but I wanted to ask you something."

Roman was quiet for a few seconds so Melody asked him.

"What is it?"

"You really mean a lot to me Melody... I wanted to ask you... Would you like to meet my family?"

Melody was quiet for a moment, she was sure that his family was nice, but she was afraid of what they would think about her.

"I'm sure your family is really nice, but what if they don't like me, what would they think of me?"

"I'm not trying to make you do anything you feel uncomfortable with, but I don't think you have anything to worry about. My family isn't really the type that will judge you because of where you come from or what you've been through. Pensacola isn't too far from Orlando anyway, you won't be too far from home."

"Ok sure, I'd love to meet your family."

Roman smiled at her and was excited.

"Ok, we'll go see them this weekend."

Melody smiled back at him, but she was really afraid that his family wouldn't like her, she was always afraid of meeting new people because she was afraid of people judging her. She was surprised that she got along with The Shield as well as she did.

Someone Special

Chapter Twenty Two

The week went by and the weekend was here, The Shield had the weekend off, but decided to hang out anyway. Ever since Roman asked Melody if she wanted to meet his parents he's noticed that Melody seemed a bit nervous. He talked to Dean and Seth about it and asked if they would come along to make her more comfortable, but Melody didn't know until they were all on the road.

"I'm really surprised that you guys decided to come. Since you had the weekend off I thought you guys would want to relax at home."

"Well, we know Roman's family. His parents are pretty cool."

"Plus, you seemed a bit off this week. We thought we would come along to make you feel more comfortable."

"Aw, thanks guys. I'm always a bit nervous when I meet new people."

"It'll ok. We'll be here if you need us."

"Wow Roman... Your parents have a really nice house."

Melody felt a little better since Dean and Seth were coming along, but she started feeling nervous the moment Roman pulled into a driveway. Dean and Seth got out, but Roman noticed the look on her face and grabbed her hand.

"Melody... I know you're nervous..."

"I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't be, but I just am."

"It's ok, and I'm sorry. I shouldn't have pressured you into doing something that you didn't want to do."

"You didn't pressure me, it's nothing personal about your family, I'm always nervous when I meet new people."

"You don't have to meet them if you don't want to. We could always come back another time when you feel more comfortable. The boys and I could go in for a few minutes and then come out."

"No... I do want to meet your family. If I don't meet them now, I may never get over my fear of meeting new people. I want to do this... I need to do this."

Roman smiled at her and kissed her hand. He gets out and makes his way to the passenger side and opened the door for her. He held out his hand to her, she smiled, took his hand and got out of the car. Roman and Melody made their way to the door holding hands, Dean and Seth follow close behind. Roman knocked on the door and it opened. Roman told Melody to stay with Dean and Seth. Roman went in and looked through his house until he saw his parents in the back yard on their patio. He went out for a moment and said hello to them. He told them that he had company with them. They were grilling food and told Roman to bring them around back. Roman went back to the front door and motioned for them to come inside. Dean and Seth went out to the patio first. Melody was nervous and stayed close to Roman and held his hand. His parents saw him first, then Melody. Roman spoke up.

"Mom, Dad, you guys know Dean and Seth... This is my girlfriend."

Melody stepped forward blushing a little, but held her hand out to shake.

"I'm Melody, it's nice to meet you."

Roman's dad stepped forward, grabbed her hand for a moment only to pull her in for a hug.

"Roman didn't tell you?... We hug around here."

Roman's dad let her go and went back to grilling. Roman's mom hugged Melody.

"Sorry if you're uncomfortable with all this close attention, but that's the way his family is... I can see why Roman likes you, you're very pretty Melody."

Melody blushes at this and felt more comfortable around them as each moment passed. Roman's mom spoke again.

"For the last week or so all Roman has talked about is you."

Melody laughed at this and looked at Roman.

"Really?"

Roman scratched the back of his neck and looked the ground.

Roman's dad looked back at Roman and spoke up.

"Yeah, he keeps talking about how beautiful you are. He's right about that. When he told us you were coming, we were excited and wanted to do something to welcome you so we thought about having a cookout. What better way to welcome someone than by welcoming them with food? You look hungry, I just finished cooking some of the food, help yourself Melody you look hungry."

Melody looked at Roman and grabbed his hand and pulled him along with her so she wouldn't be eating alone, but Roman stepped back and let Melody go first.

"You go ahead, ladies first."

Melody smiled at this, Roman was so polite, his parents raised him to open doors for women and let ladies go first. Not many men these days were as polite or as sweet as Roman was. Melody got something to eat and Roman's mom followed her, then the guys ate next. Once they finished eating they all sat down and Roman's parents started talking to her again.

"So Melody... Roman tells us that you're a Florida girl too."

"Oh... Yes, I'm from Orlando."

"How did you and Roman meet? He hasn't told us that."

"Well... It's actually kind of complicated... We didn't exactly meet under the best circumstances... My life is complicated, but I'll tell you. I just hope you won't think any less of me."

Roman's parents look at each other and then back at Melody.

"We don't judge people because of their past or where they're from."

Melody took a deep breath and knew that she would have to tell her life's story again, Roman held her hand once she started talking.

"I actually first met Roman at a bar... I never drank any alcoholic beverages, some bars have strippers or bands that play. All I did was sing at the bar I worked at. I only went to community college because that was all I could afford and... I wasn't smart enough to get into a university anyway..."

Roman gave her a look and shook his head. He didn't like hearing Melody talk bad about herself. Melody noticed the look he gave her and tried to talk about herself in a better way.

"Well... I guess I've always had self esteem issues and never thought I'd be good enough for anything. I'm trying to change that. The only reason I started working at a bar in the first place was so I could sing for people. Music is my life. If I knew what a creep my boss was, I never would have taken the job. People started judging me, my mom included because my dad would always drink and he cheated on my mom. When she found out that I was working at a bar she kicked me out, she was embarrassed of me. My boss would pay me, but I got more money from the people that came in. I never played much attention to the kind of guy my boss was... So one night him and some of his friends decided that they wanted to put a drug in my water to make me sick and tired... This was the night I met Roman... He noticed that something wasn't right and followed the guys outside. I was sick and tired, but I started to realize what was going on when they started taking their clothes off and mine... They were going to rape me, and probably kill me, but Roman showed up and saved me just in time."

Roman's mom came over and wrapped her arms around Melody.

"I'm sorry that happened to you Melody."

"That's not even the worst part... My boss, he was stalking me, he found out where I lived and beat the hell out of me and almost killed me. Out of all the people I thought would help me, my brother has to donate blood to save my life. He was one of the last people I thought would help. Roman found out I was in the hospital and came to see me along with Dean and Seth. They watched over me for about a week before I was released from the hospital, we all got really close that week. When I finally got home and they left for a few hours, my boss broke into my house again and tried to kill me again. This time I had The Shield watching over me and they saved me, but that night there was a bad storm and a tornado completely destroyed me house... Which I was renting. So the day after the storm my brother called me on my mom's phone and said that they wanted to see me. My brother did, but ever since my dad died, even though he cheated on her... I think she may have wanted him back before he died, but once he died she was just so hateful to me. She's so controlling and wants me or my brother to become a doctor. Doctors are important, but I never wanted to be a doctor. All I want to do with my life is something with music. My mom wasn't as supportive as my dad was, since my dad cheated and drank a lot, when I started working at a bar she said that I was just like my dad... She told me that she hated me and that she would call the police if I didn't leave. I wasn't going to stay where I wasn't wanted. I was just so angry, and depressed, I had lost everything and was hoping my family would be there for me to love me and help me in my time of need, but she pushed me away... I was so upset that day that I almost committed suicide. If Dean didn't stop me... I probably wouldn't be here today. I've had my issues with The Wyatt Family, Bray more specifically. He's obsessed with me... He's kidnapped me, said all kind of things to get me to believe that he's better for me than Roman is. He's kissed me, and even threatened to burn me. I don't know what I would do if The Shield weren't here for me. I've always been afraid to give love a chance because I've always been afraid that I would end up like my mom, bitter and alone. I've been afraid that someone would cheat on me and my life is just so complicated... I never thought anyone would want to be with me. Roman... He's changed my mind. He's the first boyfriend I've ever had. Dean and Seth... I love those guys like brothers. They're like the protective older brothers I've never had. The Shield... They took me in, gave me a home, cared about me. The Shield is a family... My family."

Roman's mom gave Melody a tight hug.

"She's been through so much, but finally things are turning around. I wish you and Roman the best. You seem happy with Roman, I hope you two are very happy together."

"Thank you."

Roman gave both of his parents a hug and told them goodbye.

"I'm glad we could catch up and get comfortable around each other, but it's about time for us to go."

Roman's dad gave Melody one more hug before she left. Melody walked to the car with Dean and Seth while Roman's dad stopped Roman to talk to him.

"Roman... Before you go, I wanted to talk to about Melody."

"Ok. What about her?"

"I know about the way you were with women."

"Dad... For someone that doesn't judge people because of their past, you sure don't mind bringing up mine."

"I don't judge other people, you I can. Now listen... That girl has been through hell and back, she deserves the very best. If I find out that you cheated on that girl, or broke her heart in anyway... I'm sure that Dean and Seth will kick your ass, but I'll be the first one to do it."

"Trust me dad... That won't happen, I wouldn't even think of leaving Melody. Every second I spend with her is precious, I pretty much almost killed Wyatt for all the shit he's put her through. If anyone wants to get to Melody, they're going to have to kill me first, then Dean and Seth. I'm not letting her go... Unless she wants me to. You taught me to respect women's boundaries, if things don't work out and she wants to go... Then I'll let her go. I would do anything for Melody."

"Hmm... I'm surprised at how much you've changed in three years. Do you think you've found The One?"

"It's possible... I'd like to see myself spending my life with her, but it was hard enough getting her to be my girlfriend. I don't even know if she's interested in marriage. It will take a lot of time before she would even think about getting married."

"Well... The way I see it... If you found The One, it wouldn't matter how much time it took."

"You're right dad... Melody is worth it. Thanks for talking with me, but I really do need to go. She's waiting on me."

Roman said goodbye to his mom and dad one more time before getting in the car. Melody asked him where they were going.

"You're parents are really nice Roman. Where are we going now?"

"I wanted to show you my house."

"Ok."

Melody gave him a smile. The day turned out better than she thought it would. She felt more comfortable with meeting people if they were as nice as Roman's parents. Roman saw how happy and relaxed she was and thought to himself.

"I love seeing that smile on her face. Things are going to get better Melody. Marriage... That's a big step and it will take a lot of time, but I don't care how long it takes... You're worth it Melody."

Melody noticed that Roman had a certain look on his face. This usually meant that there was something on his mind.

"What's on your mind Roman?"

"Oh... Just thinking about how much we've been through. Can you believe it's been over a month now since we've met?"

"Wow... It's amazing what can happen in a month."

"I'm glad we're together... This month has had it's ups and downs, but I hope to spend many more with you Melody."

Roman was driving so all he could do at that moment was reach for her hand and kiss it. A few minutes later they got to Roman's house. Melody thought Roman's house was just about as great as his parent's house. Roman let Dean and Seth stay there for the night. Seth had his own room, and Dean had his own room. Roman and Melody would be sharing, which is something she was used to at this point, but this was his house, she would be staying with him in his room. Melody was happy, it felt good to be staying in an actual home instead of a hotel. She knew it was a little early, but this was that home like feeling she had been wanting. Dean and Seth were busy doing their thing and so it was just Roman and Melody. He came in the room with her.

"So... This is where I live. What do you think Melody?"

Chapter Twenty Three

Melody was surprised at how amazing Roman's house was, Dean and Seth had their own rooms and were busy doing what they wanted to do. Melody went into a room that she guessed to be Roman's, and placed her stuff on the floor, in a corner out of the way. Melody made her way over to a window, moved the curtains back and opened the blinds to enjoy the sun and ocean view. She didn't know Roman came in the room so when he came up behind her and said something he scared it.

"Wow, it's bright in here."

"Oh... You scared me. Sorry, I just opened the blinds."

"It's ok Melody, make yourself at home... So this is where I live, what do you think Melody?"

"It's beautiful Roman... Your house is amazing, but I absolutely love the view of the ocean. I've only seen the ocean and beaches in movies. Even though I've lived in Florida my whole life I've never actually been to the beach before."

"Wow, we should change that. How would you like to go get something to eat and go for a walk on the beach?"

Melody blushed as Roman took her hand.

"You mean like a date?"

Roman smiled at her blushing.

"If you want it to be. That's what I was hoping it would be now that you're my girlfriend."

Melody giggled and blushed even more as she held his hand.

"Ok sure, it's a date then."

"When do you want to go?"

"Whatever time is good for you. We just got here, if you want to just stay and relax for a while we can."

"No it's fine, we can go now if you want to. I could show you around town."

"Ok sure. Let's go."

Roman and Melody walked down the hallway and they looked into the rooms Dean and Seth were staying in and noticed that they were both passed out on the bed. Melody laughed as she passed them

"Look at these guys."

"They pretty much sleep anytime they can."

She noticed Seth actually wasn't asleep.

"Oh... Actually Seth is jamming out to his music."

"They won't miss us. We can finally go have some fun together, just the two of us."

Roman and Melody leave and drive until they come across several different stores and food places. Roman found a place to park and they got out and started walking.

"So Melody, you've really never been to the beach before?"

"No, I've always lived farther inland."

"We could go to the beach later if you want, but first we would have to go shopping for some beach stuff."

"Ok sure, I'd love to go to the beach."

As they were walking along the different stores, Melody could hear the familiar music and sounds of an arcade. Melody turned her head and looked to see what kind of games there were. She saw many games that she liked, but didn't want to get her hopes up, she didn't want to seem like the type of person that kept wanting things, especially if she didn't have money to pay for it. Roman noticed that her attention was over at the arcade, he smiled as he held her hand.

"Do you want to go play some arcade games?"

Melody looked back at Roman and felt bad and kind of embarrassed for wanting to play arcade games. Roman probably thought she was childish.

"Oh... No thanks... I wouldn't want you to think I was childish or anything."

"Childish?... You seem to forget that we travel with Dean and Seth. Playing arcade games isn't childish, I don't think you're childish, in fact... Dean and Seth are more childish than you are. If Dean and Seth were here, they would be having and betting on very competitive air hockey games. Those guys love arcade games, especially Seth."

Melody laughed at this.

"Ok, but what do you think about arcade games?"

"I love them. Every time I come here I have to play at least one arcade game. So are you sure you don't want to play some games?"

Melody was quiet for a moment and Roman gave her puppy dog eyes and stuck out his lip.

"Please? Come on... It'll be fun."

Melody giggled at his puppy dog face and finally agreed.

"Ok sure... I could hear that air hockey game calling my name from a mile away."

"Oh, so you want to play some air hockey?"

"Sure, but I have to warn you... I'm a very competitive player."

Roman followed her over to the air hockey table and gave her a smirk.

"That makes two of us. Just because you're my girlfriend, don't think I'm going to take it easy on you when it comes to air hockey."

"I don't... Bring it on Superman."

Once they started playing, after about a minute the score was already three to zero, Melody was winning. She gave him a smirk and laughed.

"I thought you weren't going to take it easy on me."

Roman smiled but rolled his eyes at her.

"Beginner's luck."

Two minutes passed and Roman got ahead by two points. The score was now five to three.

"What was that about me taking it easy on you?"

Melody gave him a determined look.

"The game isn't over yet."

Melody caught up and even got ahead by one point. Roman scored a second later making the score six to six. The next person to score would win the game. The puck was now on Roman's side of the table going left and right really fast. He hits it to Melody and is surprised that she hit it back to him so fast. He barely has time to block it, but it actually ended up behind his hand and he scored on himself. Melody started jumping up and down and celebrating.

"I won!"

"Aw... You got lucky on that last one, I scored on myself."

Melody smirked at him.

"Hey... You're in WWE, a win is a win... No matter how it's done. I thought you said you weren't going to take it easy on me."

"No one likes a sore winner Melody."

"No one likes a sore loser either."

"Oh yeah?... How about we play again?"

"Ok sure... If you want to lose again."

They were both very competitive and were looking forward to playing again. This game wasn't as close. Melody won again with a score of seven to four.

"See Roman... I beat you again."

"Ok... You made your point. You beat me fair and square... Ok so maybe you're better than me at air hockey, but how about racing games?"

"Let's find out."

Roman and Melody sat down and played a racing game, at one point during the game Melody got ahead of Roman. Towards the end of the game, right before Melody crossed the finish line Roman used his car and ran Melody into a wall and crossed the finish line first.

"Hey... That's cheating, I had that won and you know it."

"If I remember correctly, I believe you said a win is a win no matter how it's done."

"Yeah... I did say that."

"Do you want to play again?"

"No... Let's do something else."

They looked around and decided to play Guitar Hero. Melody loved Guitar Hero, she loved anything that had to do with music. They weren't as competitive with Guitar Hero as they were with the other games.

"You're really good Melody."

"Thanks. This is my favorite game. I love anything that has to do with music."

"Seth is a beast at Guitar Hero... If he were here, I bet you would give him a run for his money. That would be something to see."

"Maybe we can come back another time and I'll challenge him."

"This was fun."

"Yeah it was. I really showed my competive side."

"Are you ready to go get something to eat?"

"Sure."

They left the arcade and walked a while until they decided to eat at a hotdog and hamburger restaurant. They sat in a booth together and just enjoyed each other's company. After they ate Roman took Melody to one of the stores so she could buy a swimsuit, swimming trunks for himself since he forgot to bring them and a few other beach things. Once they left the store they found a place to change and then went down to the beach. Melody enjoyed the feeling of warm, soft sand between her toes.

"Oh my gosh Roman... It's so beautiful out here."

Roman agreed, but look at her.

"Yeah... It is."

Melody put her hands in the sand and started making something.

"What are you making?"

"I'm not sure yet, we'll see what it turns into."

After about ten minutes of just messing with the sand Melody knew what she wanted to make. It ended up being a turtle.

"I made it into a turtle... Turtles are my favorite animal."

"Nice job."

Melody took a picture of it and admired her work. She had been in swimming pools before, but never the ocean, she was a bit nervous. She noticed a few people surfing the waves, but wasn't sure if she wanted to get in the water, but the heat started getting to her so she decided to get in the water. The water was chilly and it took her a while to get used to it. She was taking it slow, but Roman ran right past her and went under one of the waves.

"Come on Melody, the water's great."

Melody shivered as she made her way to him.

Roman smirked, swam over to her and surprised her by picking her up and throwing her over a wave. She went under the water, when she came back up she screamed from the cold.

"Roman! That was cold you big jerk."

Roman laughed and started floating on his back.

"Well are you used to the water now?"

Melody knew he was just playing around and started laughing.

"Not quite... It's still cold."

Roman had his eyes closed as he was floating and was surprised when he felt water hitting his face. He looked up and saw Melody splashing him.

"Hey... Cut it out."

Melody laughed at him.

"That's what you get for throwing me in the water."

"Want me to do it again?"

She splashes him again and he started making his way over to her. She started laughing and swimming the other way, but Roman had been swimming longer than she had and he was faster than her so it didn't take long for him to catch her. When he caught her she screamed and then started laughing as he turned her around to face him. They were just floating in the water and she blushed as he pulled her close to his chest. Melody was still in a playful mood and kept laughing.

"Ok... You caught me. Now what are you going to do?"

Roman smiled and pulled her even closer, he leaned down to her and planted a gentle kiss on her lips. Melody leaned into him, wrapped her arms around him, closed her eyes and kissed him back. She never thought she would be in a situation like this, her heart was racing as she melted into the kiss. Roman could feel his and her heart racing. He pulled back and noticed the smile on her face.

"Thank you Roman."

"For what?"

"For bringing me here. I've had a lot of fun today, and I really enjoyed this time we got to spend together."

"You're Welcome. Thank you Melody for coming with me. I hope we can have many more days like this. Dean and Seth are like brothers to me and I like hanging with them, but sometimes it's nice to spend time with you and only you. Do you know what I mean?"

"Yeah. Dean and Seth are cool until they start teasing us. We're out here by ourselves where no one can bother us."

Roman kissed her head this time and just enjoyed holding her in his arms for a few minutes. The sun was starting to go down and they got out of the water. They decided to just walk along the water until they came to a pier. They got on the pier and found a place to sit and watch the waves. The sun had went down for the most part, there were still colors in the sky from the sunset, but now the stars were starting to pop up and the moon was out. Every now and then a few random fireworks would go off. Everything was peaceful, all of their worries seemed to fade away when they were together. They sat there for at least an hour, Roman had his arm wrapped around her and Melody smiled as she leaned her head on his shoulder. Roman tilted her head up so he could look in her eyes before kissing her. Melody kissed him back, this kiss was deeper than the one they shared before. Once the kiss was over Melody smiled and sighed in happiness as she closed her eyes and leaned into his chest. As much as Roman would love to stay there and hold her in his arms he knew she was getting tired and they needed to get back to his house.

"Melody... I think it's about time for us to go. You seem tired."

"Ok. Thanks again for this amazing day Roman."

"You're welcome Melody. I'm glad you had fun."

As they made their way back to the car Melody noticed a sign that said help wanted. She took a look and noticed that it was a sign that was asking for a teacher's music assistant.

"Oh my gosh! Roman look!"

"What?!"

"There's a school that needs an assistant music teacher. It says they will train anyone. I always thought I had to have a degree to be a teacher, but they said they would train anyone. Do you think I should write down the number and check it out?"

"Absolutely, this is what you've been wanting. Go for it Babygirl."

Melody blushed at this new nickname, but pulled out her phone and put the number in. She would call it first thing the next day. She smiled and took Roman's hand as they made their way back to the car. Once they were back at Roman's house they both needed to take a shower too get rid of the ocean water and sand that was sticking to them. Melody finished first and was back in Roman's room brushing her hair. Once Roman was done Dean and Seth caught up to him.

"Hey man... It's about time you guys got back. Dean and I were wondering if you wanted to go with us to get a few drinks?"

Roman looked over at Melody and she looked back at him. She heard Seth ask him and she nodded her head.

"Go ahead... You haven't hung out with them all day. I'll be fine here."

Roman shook his head at Seth.

"No thanks Seth... You and Dean have fun. Melody and I had a long day. Maybe we can go some other time, but we had a long day so you and Dean go ahead."

Seth laughed and walked away.

"Ok... Goodnight Lovebirds."

Dean finally poked his head out of the room he was in and started doing kissy noises at them before him and Seth left. Melody was surprised, but happy that Roman decided to stay.

"What made you want to stay?"

"Well... We did have a long day, but you did. You made me stay. I don't really want to leave you alone after everything that's happened, but most of all I don't want you being here alone, and lonely thinking that no one wants to be around you. I do like having a few drinks, but I'd rather stay here and know that you're safe and happy and hold you in my arms as you go to sleep."

Melody smiled and for the first time kissed him instead of him kissing her. Roman was glad she finally kissed him and knew they were making progress and felt that Melody was getting more comfortable around him. They were now laying in his bed and Melody felt more comfortable and at home at Roman's house than she did at a hotel. She finally felt truly relaxed now that they had a few days off. She was also happy that she saw that sign about an assistant music. Roman had the lamp on for a few minutes as he noticed that Melody seemed to have a lot on her mind.

"Is there anything you want to talk about?"

"I was just thinking..."

"About what?"

"My life... Things are finally starting to turn around for me, and I have you to thank for it."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because... You came into my life and turned it around. You've been letting me travel with you, you've been buying me the things I need, you've cared for me when no one else has... You saved me Roman... In more ways than one. So... I'm hoping that I can finally get a job and make my own money. I'll call that number tomorrow."

Melody suddenly had a sad look on her face that Roman caught onto.

"What's wrong?"

"The only thing about getting a teaching job is that I'll be at a school while you're on the road with WWE... We won't get to see each other."

Roman was quiet for a minute before he ran a hand through her hair.

"It's your choice Babygirl, you do what you feel is right, but I know how much you love music and have been talking about singing or being a teacher. This is your chance."

Melody knew that this was something that she had to think about and had a look of concern on her face. Roman held her close and moved the hair out of her face.

"It's a lot to think about, but I wouldn't worry about it right now. All that matters is this moment we have here together right now."

Melody nodded her head and agreed and smiled at him.

"There's that beautiful smile... There's Melody."

Melody leaned up and gave him a kiss. Then she layed down on his chest and listened to his heart beat.

"Goodnight Roman."

"Goodnight Baby girl."

Roman kissed her head and soon both of them fell asleep.

Someone Special

Chapter Twenty Four

Melody woke up early the next day, she couldn't really sleep, she had a lot on her mind. It was a little after eight in the morning and Roman was still asleep, Melody didn't want to wake him up so she quietly got out of bed and went into a different room. She had her phone in her hand and remembered that she had a phone number about a possible music teacher's assistant. Melody decided to go outside so she wouldn't wake anyone up. She went out on Roman's back porch and looked out at the ocean, the sun was already up, but the sky was still a mix of pink, orange and yellow. Melody needed a moment to think to herself.

"I don't know what to do... I've always wanted a job in music, I love singing and I went to a community college for a few years so I was taught a little about being a music teacher. Once I ran out of money for college and couldn't transfer I thought that my only option for music was singing at a bar. Now that I saw that sign about being trained to be a teacher I put that number in my phone. This is what I've been waiting for, opportunities like this don't always come around, I would be crazy not to call... I want to call, but if I do get this job that would mean I'll have to stay here while Roman is on the road. Sure we can call and video chat, but it's not the same as being with him. We just got together... This is the first time I've ever gave anyone a chance. I don't know if I want to do this... Do you really expect Roman to keep letting you travel with him, buy things for you, or let him stay at his house? He's not going to do it... He's going to get tired of buying things for me, and staying with him. He needs time to hang out with Dean and Seth and do guy things. I know he wanted to go with Dean and Seth last night, but he didn't because of me. I keep getting in the way and stopping him from doing what he wants to do. I need to make my own money and get my own place, find out how I'm going to get around. When Roman leaves and if I get this job I don't think he'll want me to stay at his house..."

Melody thought about it long enough and made her decision. She looked out at the water, took a deep breath and looked down at her phone.

"I've got to this... I'm calling the number."

Melody was really nervous when she called the number, but she did her best to sound confident. The phone call went better than she thought it would and the person she was talking to talked about meeting at the school office for a job interview. Melody was then really excited, thanked the person she was talking to then hung up the phone. She was happy that she had a job interview, but a few things crossed her mind like if things would ever be good with her family, or if she got the teaching job how would the kids act around her. She wondered how things would be between her and Roman with him traveling on the road. Melody had a lot on her mind and it was upsetting her. She had her phone on and opened up a music app that would let her listen to live radio. She had it turned down low so it wouldn't wake anyone up. Melody leaned up against a guard rail and looked out at the water listened to music and tried to clear her head. She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't hear someone come out. She was surprised when she felt someone's arms wrap around her waist from behind. She tilted her head back and and looked up and saw Roman's gray eyes and a smile on his face. She smiled as Roman planted a kiss on her head and leaned into his chest.

"Good morning beautiful... What are you doing out here?"

"I couldn't sleep. I had a lot on my mind so I got up and came out here to think. I called that number I saw last night."

"Oh... What did you find out?"

"Well... Like most other jobs I'll have to go in for a job interview."

"That's great! It's a start anyway. Did you ask when it was?"

"The lady I talked to said that today was the only day that she was doing interviews. She told me that she could squeeze me at noon. She told me that the school wasn't far from the beach. Will you take me?"

"Of course, I'll even go in with you if you want me to."

Melody was glad that Roman was so supportive. She went back in and saw that Dean and Seth were up. Seth was tired, but Dean had a headache and a hangover. Melody noticed that Dean had a black eye.

"What happened to you?"

Dean was grumpy and didn't say anything so Seth answered for him.

"I kept telling him it was time to go. I had a few drinks, but Dean was drunk as hell and got into a fight. The guy that he got into a fight with hit him in the eye."

"Yeah well that's about the worst that happened. I still kicked his ass and knocked him the fuck out!"

"Yeah and I had to drag you out of there before the cops showed up. The last thing WWE needs is someone suing the company because you got drunk and got into a bar fight. What if someone recognized you?"

"Well no one recognized me... We got out without any problems."

"Yeah maybe this time, but you need to cut that shit out or we could get into serious trouble."

Roman spoke up.

"He's right you know... I wasn't there and you couldn't control yourself."

"Oh like you haven't got into fights at a bar before."

"I have, but most of the fights I've been in have been started by someone else. Knowing you... You were probably the one that started the fight."

Dean smirked and laughed.

"I did."

"Well anyway... Other than your bar fight I just found out some interesting news."

"What?"

"Well last night Melody saw a sign that was asking for a teacher's assistant for music... And she says they train people, no degree required. Melody called the number and now she has an interview later today."

Melody was close to Dean and Seth. They were both about to give her a hug, but as Dean tried to run over to her he tripped over his feet and fell flat on his face. Roman and Seth burst out laughing. Melody hid the smile on her face and did her best to keep from laughing. Dean was embarrassed but started laughing. Once Dean started laughing that was when Melody started laughing as Seth went over to him and helped him up.

"Damn Dean, you're still drunk as hell."

Melody walked over to him.

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah I'm good... Anyway congrats... I hope you get this job."

Dean and Seth both hug her. Seth was the next one to speak.

"I'm really happy for you. Your life is finally starting to turn around."

"I have you guys to thank for it, especially you Dean. You saved me that day and stopped me from making the biggest mistake of my life."

"I knew what you were trying to do and I wasn't about to sit around and watch you take your life."

"I haven't ever done that before... It was crazy that I really went that far. I had just been through so much at the time. My boss kept stalking me and tried to rape and kill me, I lost the place I was staying at, and to top it all off when I thought I was going to fix things with my mom things only seemed to get worse and she told me that she hated me. I couldn't take the pain anymore and wanted it all to end. I know I probably overreacted but what was I supposed to do?"

Seth still had her in a tight hug and said what he wanted to say.

"I don't think you overreacted, I think other people have taken their life and they haven't been through half of the stuff you've been through. If it had been me a few years ago... I probably would have done the same thing. I think you're a very brave and strong willed woman Melody. Sometimes you can't help but break down and you feel like you have nowhere to turn. You're at that point of your life where you're not living with your mom and you want to do things on your own and don't like people seeing you struggle, but it's ok to ask for help Melody."

Dean added what he wanted to say.

"Yeah, but I think you're tougher than all of us put together. We were here with you, but for the most part you picked yourself back up and fixed most of your problems except for maybe the problem, but you know what... Screw your mom... She told you she hated you, but we're here for you."

Melody hugged Dean and Seth

"Thanks guys. Things started getting better between me and my brother, but I feel closer to you guys than I do with my own family."

A few hours passed and Roman was taking Melody to her interview. Even though Roman offered to go in with her Melody wanted to go into the interview alone and with confidence so she told Roman to pick her up in an hour. Melody dressed as nice as she could, she had a pair of black pants and a dark blue sweater. This was actually one of the only outfits that she had from before she met Roman. Her hair was neatly brushed and hanging over her shoulders. Even though it was really hot outside she wanted to look as professional as possible. A lady invited Melody into an office area. It was an elementary school and there were many colors everywhere in the school. The lady had several drawings from students hanging in her office. Melody then realized that she must have been the principal. The lady looked at Melody and smiled while holding out her hand.

"Hi, my name is Lisa Monroe, but you can call me Lisa. I'm the principal at this school. You must be Melody."

Melody shook her hand and smiled back at her.

"Yes Ma'am... Melody Shores. Thank You so much for meeting with me on such short notice."

"It's not a problem at all, twelve was the only hour I had open. I usually would have lunch right about now, but I thought... It wouldn't hurt for me to miss one meal. Interesting outfit you're wearing."

Melody started getting nervous.

"I'm sorry if I'm underdressed, but I don't really have much to choose from. I'm trying to straighten my life out again."

"Oh... What you're wearing is fine dear... I just thought it was a little hot outside to be wearing a dark blue sweater and black pants."

"Oh... Well I just really wanted to look as professional as I could. I was afraid that I was underdressed. Like I said, I'm trying to get my life straightened out and this was really the only nice outfit I had."

"Your outfit is fine. These days teachers don't always dress like that. We're not really strict with what we wear here unless someone dresses in something too revealing in front of the kids. We don't want our kids here going home to their parents and telling them that they saw something inappropriate at school. That wouldn't look very good on my behalf. Anyway let's get down to business... Tell me why you're interested in teaching here?"

"Well... Growing up I was never really interested in math, science, or reading. I was always kind of a troublemaker when I was younger, but the one thing I loved about school and the one thing that kept me out of trouble at school was my music teacher. I've always loved music and as I grew up I knew that I wanted a career in music whether it was singing for people or being a teacher. When I saw your sign about needing a music teacher's assistant and said that you would train people I thought this was the perfect opportunity for me to do something I've always wanted to do. I got through community college with an associate's degree, but I couldn't afford to go to a university. I tried to apply somewhere else once, but I was told that I needed a bachelor's or master's degree to teach."

"Not if you're an assistant teacher."

"I'm planning on getting my own place... It will probably be a place rented to me so I would have to pay rent to someone so I've got to ask the question... How often are teachers paid?"

"It varies from place to place, but here it's every two weeks. The school year will be starting soon and we really hope that we can find a teacher that will connect with the students regardless of how much their paid."

"I'm not in it just for the money, maybe so I can get back on my feet, but I don't really need much. I want this job because I love music and I want to teach."

"I wish I could find more people with your passion and confidence Melody."

"I've always wanted to work with kids, but I've never had the chance... Would you really train me?"

"Absolutely, we train all of our teachers regardless of their education. I have a few kids of my own, if you can handle them you can handle the kids here at this school. The kids at this school for the most part are usually well behaved with the exception of maybe two or three. You seem like a woman that is very passionate about what you want to do."

"I am... Music is my life, if I can get at least one student to understand it's value then I would say I've done my job."

"That's the kind of passion I'm looking for. A teacher can have all of the knowledge in the world, but if students aren't interested and the teacher can't connect with them then what is the point?"

"So... You're saying that you would hire me even if I didn't have a bachelor's or master's degree?"

"I would... I like your passion and personality Melody, but before I make my decision, I want to know how you can handle being around kids. Like I said before... If you can handle my kids, you can handle any of the kids here. My kids for the most part are well behaved, but they're not always perfect angels. They have their good days and bad days. If you impress me then maybe I'll let you have a job here. There are two other people that applied that want to be teachers. Whoever I think does the best with the kids will get the job. Would you be willing to come back here tomorrow at about eight so I can evaluate you?"

"Absolutely. I'd love to."

"Excellent... Then I guess I'll see you bright and early tomorrow morning."

"Ok great! Thanks again so much for meeting with me Mrs. Monroe."

"No problem, I look forward to seeing you tomorrow Melody... And it's Lisa."

"Right. Thanks! See you tomorrow."

Melody walked out of the office with the biggest smile on her face. She was one step closer to getting the job she's always wanted. All she had to do was connect with the kids and impress Lisa. If she did a good enough job then she would have a job being an assistant music teacher. Roman was waiting outside for her by the car. He saw Melody come out with a smile on her face. Melody walked out of the school and when she saw Roman hugged him tight. Roman laughed and hugged her back.

"So I take it that the interview went well."

"Yeah... Lisa the principal said she wasn't necessarily looking for the smartest teacher, but someone with passion and someone that could connect with the kids. She said that two other people applied for the job, but she wants to see who does the best with the kids. So she told me to come back tomorrow at eight so she could evaluate me. So... I have a one in three chance of getting the job."

"Those odds are better than if you didn't call at all. I really hope you get the job Babygirl, I already know... You deserve it more than anyone else."

Melody smiles at this and kisses him. After this they got in the car and went back to Roman's house.

"How cool would it be?... Your name is Melody and if you get this job, you'll be teaching kids music, and a Melody has something to do with music right?"

"Right, and yeah it would be cool."

Melody smiled at him and was looking forward to the next day.

Someone Special

Chapter Twenty Five

Melody woke up early the next day, she was excited and nervous at the same time. She woke up before her alarm and made sure she was quiet so she wouldn't wake up Roman. She decided to go outside on the porch to look at the ocean. The sun was coming up over the horizon, Roman's porch had become her quiet place to think.

"Today is the big day... I have a one in three chance of getting this job. Lisa said that if I could handle her kids that I could handle any of the kids. I've never worked with kids before. There is a chance they may not like me, I've always thought of myself as a fun person, but if they don't like me that's it."

Melody turned around when she heard a door behind her and saw Roman come out.

"Is everything ok Babygirl?"

"Yeah... Everything is fine."

Roman came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her.

"Are you sure? You seem to come out here by yourself when you have something on your mind."

"I came out here to think so I wouldn't wake you up."

"It's ok to wake me up... If there is ever anything you want to talk to me about you can. Communication is important in relationships, even friendships...you don't have to keep everything bottled up to yourself. If you don't feel like talking to me, you could always talk to Dean or Seth. What you talk about with them is between you and them, but they are very good listeners. I know we just started dating a week ago, but really we've been together for a little over a month now. I can tell when something is bothering you...So we'll try this again... Is there anything you want to talk about?"

Melody leaned up against his chest and let out a breath.

"I've mostly been thinking about how this evaluation will go. I've always thought of myself as a fun person, but I don't know if I can do this... I've never worked with kids before, I don't know if I can handle kids...what if they don't like me?"

Roman rubs her shoulders to try to calm her down.

"You can do this. You're very fun to be around, those kids will love you."

"It's not just about being fun... I have to also be serious, look, and act professionally or Lisa won't take me seriously."

"You'll do great! I believe in you."

Roman drove Melody back to the school, wished her good luck, and gave her a good luck kiss before she went in. Melody wanted to make sure that she was early in case she was needed. She actually showed up twenty minutes early. She wasn't exactly sure where to go so she went back to the office area and went to Lisa's office and knocked on the door. She was surprised when a kid opened the door. She looked in the office and saw two other kids younger than the one that opened the door. Melody smiled and introduced herself.

"Hi... My name is Melody, I'm here for the day to hopefully become the new music teacher. I'm looking for the principal ."

One of the younger kids sat down in the principal's chair.

"That's me... What can I do for you?"

The kid that opened the door interrupted.

"She's pretending to be our mom. She's in the bathroom right now."

A few seconds later Lisa came into the office.

"Oh... Good morning Melody, you're early."

"Yeah... I like to show up for things at least ten or fifteen minutes ahead of time... That's just the way I am."

"It's understandable...I'm the same way. I like to show up early to prepare for the day. It looks like you already kind of met my kids."

She pointed to the girl that opened the door for Melody, she had blue eyes and blonde hair and looked a lot like her mom. She looked older than the others. Melody would have guessed that she was about eleven or twelve.

"This is my daughter Tiffany, she's probably the most behaved out of the three, she's not shy around new people."

"I can see that, she opened the door and smiled right at me."

Lisa pointed to a boy sitting quietly in a seat acting nervous and shy. Melody guessed that he was about eight or nine.

"This is my son Jacob, he may be acting quiet and shy right now, but it's still early in the morning. He's actually the troublemaker of the group, he likes to fight with his little sister Hannah."

Melody looked at the little girl that was sitting in her mom's seat, she looked like her mom too but her hair was a dirty blonde. Melody guessed that she was about five of six years old. Jacob had brown hair and brown eyes.

"It's nice to meet all of you. I hope we can have a day of learning, but also a day of fun. I met with you mom yesterday, but I didn't get a chance to look around the school."

Lisa smiled at her kids and grabbed Hannah's and Jacob's hand.

"So how about we show Ms. Shores around the school?"

"Um... It's ok if you call me Melody."

Melody smiled and followed Lisa and her kids around the school. There were three separate hallways for the growing age groups. She went around and saw the gym, cafeteria, playground, computer room, art room, drama room, and finally the music room.

"So this is the music room. So Melody... I'm going to go back to my office for about thirty minutes and then I'll come to check on you."

"Ok."

Lisa left Melody alone with her kids and went back to her office. She had cameras in her office that showed video footage of the whole school. Melody and her kids were the only people at the school, she thought this was the best way to watch her kids and see what Melody could do. In the music room Melody thought that the best way to get started would be by having the kids introduce themselves and say a few things to get to know them before they started.

"So... I think we actually met each other a bit earlier, but you'll have to say your names again. It takes me a while to learn names, but I guess I'll start. My name is Melody Shores, but you can call me Melody or . I wanted to be a music teacher because music is something I've always loved and my goal is to hopefully help kids know what they want to do and hopefully learn to enjoy music. If there are any questions just raise your hand and say your name that way I can learn your name.

The little boy raised his hand. Melody smiled and answered him.

"Yes... What is your name, and what is your question?"

"Um... My name is Jacob... Are you here to replace our teacher ? I like Mrs. Burns."

"Hi Jacob... No I'm not here to replace anyone. I'm guess is your main music teacher. If I get this job... I'll be like her helper."

He still had his hand in the air and his younger sister cut him off.

"What will you be helping with?"

Melody was about to answer her question until Jacob cut her off.

"Hey! Hannah I wasn't done!"

Jacob actually hit Hannah in the arm. Instead of crying like Melody thought Hannah would she actually hit him back and they started screaming as they started hitting each other. Tiffany the oldest started shouting at them to stop fighting. Melody started to panic, she didn't think they would start fighting. Things were not going well and she had to figure out a way to get them to stop fighting without getting physically involved because she knew that teachers couldn't physically get involved to break up a fight. She knew shouting wouldn't help so she had to think of something and she had to do it fast. She saw one of those train whistle toys, grabbed it and did one loud, long whistle and held her hand up in the air. All three kids were shocked and stopped fighting and arguing. Melody didn't really yell at the kids, but she did want to speak so that she had their attention.

"Ok... It looks like you two need to be separated."

Melody found some tape that would stick to the carpet. She put some down on the other side of Tiffany.

"Jacob... So you and Hannah aren't fighting, I'm going to have to ask you to sit over here by Tiffany."

Jacob was mad, but he got up and did what she said. Melody made sure that they were all separated with enough space between them so that they couldn't fight each other. Jacob actually looked like he was about to cry.

"Now we're going to get in trouble."

Melody remembered getting in trouble a lot in school and felt bad for him.

"No... You're not going to get in trouble."

"You're not going to tell my mom?"

"No... I got in trouble a lot of trouble when I was your age. You're not in trouble this time, but I wanted to know why you hit your sister."

"Because she interrupted me. I had my hand up and she interrupted me."

"I'm sorry about that, but she's younger than you. She's probably not used to the rules yet."

Melody looked around the class room and spotted a drum that was about his size and had an idea.

"Hang on Jacob, I'm going to get something for you."

Jacob watched as Melody brought a drum over to him.

"Why did you bring me a drum?"

"Because I thought of something that might help you. How are you feeling right now? Sad?"

"Not really... Mostly mad."

"Are you mad at me... Or Hannah?"

"I'm mad at Hannah... And myself."

"Why are you mad at yourself Jacob?"

"Because... I didn't mean to hurt her... I just get mad a lot."

"It's ok to get mad sometimes, I get mad a lot too, but instead of getting mad and fighting I've got an idea for a little game... I think it will be a lot of fun. Whenever you feel mad... Instead of hitting Hannah you can hit the drum. You can't really hurt the drum. I found a drum for you too Hannah. Tiffany... I found an extra train whistle toy if you want one."

Tiffany smiled and took the train whistle toy. Now they all had something in their hands.

"Ok so we all have something. Hannah... Next time you want to ask a question raise your hand and wait until Jacob is done ok?"

"Ok."

"How are you feeling Hannah? Sad, Mad?"

"Kind of mad."

"Ok... How about you Tiffany?"

"Kind of annoyed that Jacob and Hannah are always fighting."

"I think I have a way of fixing that. Just keep them separated until they don't want to fight anymore."

Hannah was just looking at her drum while Jacob had his hand raised.

"Yes Jacob?"

"You said we were going to play a game. How can we play a game with drums?"

Melody grabbed a drum and sat down in the middle of the room so she could see all three of them.

"Ok so do what I do... You hit the drum three times if your happy and count one, two, three. If you're mad... We can hit the drums ten times and shout as we count to ten."

"What if you're sad?"

"If you're sad you can blow on the train whistle toy. How is everyone feeling now?"

Jacob was still mad, Hannah was actually a bit sad and Tiffany was actually happy now. Tiffany and Hannah had to trade. Hannah blew on the train whistle while Tiffany hit on a drum three times, while Jacob yelled as he counted and hit the drum ten times. They kept going so Melody had to blow on her whistle and put her hand in the air to get them quiet and to get their attention.

"Ok... When I have my hand in the air and blow on the whistle that means stop and listen ok. So... Jacob... Now that you hit the drum ten times and counted to ten, how do you feel?"

"I feel better now. Thank you ."

"Hannah... You had the whistle, you were feeling sad. How do you feel now?"

"Better, thank you."

"So what we did was use music to feel better. I get sad or mad sometimes and I have to listen to music until I feel better. So... Is everyone happy now?"

They all answered with an excited shout of yes. Melody laughed.

"Good. Now how about we have some real fun. I have another idea for a game. Who likes trains?"

Jacob and Hannah both are excited and shout.

"We do!"

"Great... I had an idea, but I was hoping Tiffany could help me with this. I need you to keep a beat on the drum like this. We're going make music, but we're also going to pretend to be a train. Tiffany, you're going to keep beat on the drum, you're our train's engine."

Melody hits on her drum until Tiffany caught on. Then she went over to Hannah.

"Here Hannah do what I do."

Melody did a march in place and Hannah started doing the same thing.

"Good job, with our train's wheels we'll get to where we're going really fast."

Jacob had a frown on his face and started to feel left out.

"What about me? What am I supposed to do?"

Melody looked around the room and found a train conductor's

"I couldn't forget about you Jacob... You'll have the most important job."

She hands Jacob the train conductor's hat and train whistle.

"Can we count on you to be the leader of the train? I need you to be our train conductor. You'll blow the whistle and warn us if any cars, trucks, or wild animals are coming. Can I count on you to get us home safely."

Jacob had a big smile on his face as he put on the train conductor's hat, took the whistle and blew on it two times.

"You can count on me."

Tiffany continued to beat on the drum and pretend to be the train's engine. Hannah continued to stomp her feet and pretend to be the train's wheels.

" watch out! There is a big truck coming at us!"

"Oh no! Hurry Jacob, blow the whistle and let them know to watch out."

Jacob blew the whistle long and hard. Everyone suddenly stopped what they were doing when Lisa walked into the room. Hannah smiled, stopped what she was doing and ran over to her.

"Mommy!"

"Hey Hannah. What's been going on?"

"Me and Jacob got into a fright, but then we started beating on drums and blowing on train whistles when we were mad and sad. Now we're being a train."

"I see... Why don't you keep being a train while I talk to ."

"Ok."

Melody follows Lisa outside of the room.

"So... Hannah and Jacob got into a fight?"

"Yes, and I'm so sorry about that. I didn't expect for them to get into a fight. I knew I couldn't physically get involved to break up the fight so I did the best I could."

"It's ok Melody... I actually have a camera in my office that shows the whole school. This isn't the first time they've got into a fight and I'm sure it won't be the last time either. The other two people that applied actually did get physically involved to break up the fight. What you did was very smart."

"I just thought that if I made a loud noise that they would stop fighting and pay attention to find out what the noise was."

"That was a good idea... The other two people that wanted the job had music books with them, but the kids don't seem to be interested in learning that way. Tell me what you did."

"Well I knew they were probably mad at each other so I thought that instead of beating on each other, they could beat on some drums instead. I did this until they weren't mad anymore. I had the train whistle and thought of something. I asked them if they liked trains, they said yes so I thought of a way that we could all have fun. I gave Tiffany the drum to keep beat and be the train's engine. I let Hannah stomp her feet to pretend to be the wheels, and I found a train conductor's hat for Jacob and gave him the whistle so he could be the conductor."

"I have to say Melody... I'm very impressed with the way you handled that stressful situation. I do need to go talk to them about you and the two other people that want the job. The kids help me make the final decision so if you would wait a few minutes out here while I go talk to them."

"Ok."

Melody was nervous, she had done everything that she could do. She started pacing back and forth. The final decision was up to Lisa and her kids. Five minutes went by and Melody became even more nervous as each second went by. Suddenly the door opened and Melody was surprised when the kids hugged her. Melody laughs at this as Lisa walks out.

"What's going on?"

"I believe we've found our new assistant music teacher."

Melody was shocked but had the biggest smile on her face.

"Are you serious?!"

"I am... You knew how to stop a fight without getting physically involved and you managed to teach my kids something while still having fun. Kids aren't interested in learning music from books. You did a great job with my kids... I think you can handle a whole classroom. I already told you that it's not necessarily the smartest people that are the most qualified... It's about the connection with the kids that really matters. My kids... They already love you, and I'm sure the rest of the students will too. I would be crazy if I picked anyone else. So if you really want this job, can I expect you here in two weeks at eight?"

"Yes! Absolutely! Thank you so much! I've wanted this job more than anything!"

Lisa holds out her hand for Melody to shake. Melody smiles and shakes her hand.

"We'll see you in two weeks then ."

Melody left the building with a huge bit of weight lifted off her shoulder. She now had a job, but she knew that if Roman went on the road with WWE that she wouldn't see him as much. She didn't want to feel like a burden to Roman, she wanted to find a place of her own while Roman was on the road. She also thought that things were going really fast between them and wanted to really test their relationship. How would their relationship be if they spent time away from each other? If they spent months without seeing each other, how would their relationship be? She thought of the many married couples in the army, their loved ones are overseas fighting for months before they get to see them, and they don't always come home alive, but they still loved each other. Melody thought that if they could do it, she could do it. Roman was told that Melody would be at the school all day, but she was really out looking for her own place. She found an apartment for rent, and found the person in charge of the rent and explained her situation. She told the person that she was new to the area and that she just got a job as a teacher and that she would get get paid every two weeks. She convinced the person to let her stay in two weeks when Roman left. The person that would rent her the apartment was very understanding and was willing to wait the two weeks that Melody needed to get her first check for rent. The apartment was nice and already had furniture. Melody was happy that she had a place to go to once Roman left. She managed to figure out how to get a job and a place to stay on her own. This apartment was about a mile from the school but it was farther to Roman's house. Melody walked back to the school and called Roman to come pick her up. When Roman got to the school Melody ran up to him and gave him a hug.

"I got it Roman!"

"You got the job!?"

"Yes! I'm going to be a music teacher! This is what I've always wanted, I get to start in two weeks!"

Roman picked her up, spun her around then kissed her.

"That's great Melody! You've come so far, I'm so proud of you Babygirl! You're going to be the best teacher here. We should go celebrate!"

"Can we maybe go back to the arcade so I can challenge Dean and Seth to air hockey and guitar hero?"

"Sure... We'll do whatever you want. I was hoping you would want to go back to the arcade... I'm going to beat you at air hockey today."

Melody laughed and smirked at Roman.

"We'll see about that won't we?"

Chapter Twenty Six

The two weeks seemed to fly by faster than they thought it would. Dean, Seth, and Roman were packing up their things and were getting ready to go to the airport to go to the next city. They were leaving on the same day Melody started her teaching job. They would be leaving an hour before Melody had to be at the school. They were at the airport and the time came for the boys to leave, this would be hard on all of them, but the hardest on Melody and Roman since they grew so close so fast. Seth was actually the first one to hug her before he left.

"Take care of yourself Melody... You have all of our numbers so you can text us, call us, or video chat us anytime you want. You don't have to keep to yourself. Talk to us anytime you need."

"I'll try to make sure it's not during school hours or when you guys have a match."

Then Dean came up and hugged her.

"One thing you and I have in common is that we've been through a lot of shit in our lives... Keep your head up Melody... Promise me something..."

"What?"

"No matter what happens... No matter how bad things may be, promise me that you'll keep pushing through. Promise me that you won't try to commit suicide while we're gone or ever again for that matter... I lost one sister because of it, I can't lose you too."

Melody was surprised that Dean brought it up. He didn't really show his emotional side much, but he did care for her like an older brother. Melody hugged him tight.

"I promise Dean... I'm never going back down that road."

She watched as Dean and Seth waved goodbye to her and then walk off. They gave Roman and Melody their time alone. Both of them avoided eye contact and looked down at the ground for a moment. Roman was the first one to speak.

"So this is it... No turning back. You know you could always stay at my house, it's really not a problem."

"I couldn't do that Roman... It wouldn't feel for me to stay there without you there. I found an apartment of my own to stay at. It's in a safe neighborhood and it's close to the school."

Roman handed her a spare key.

"Here... In case you change your mind. How far would you have to go and how are you going to get there?"

"It's about a mile. It's within walking distance."

"I don't know if I'm ok with you walking."

"You told me that it's pretty safe."

"Yeah, but that was when I was with you. I really don't like the idea of you walking everywhere..."

Roman reached into his pocket and handed her a few hundred dollars in the form of twenties.

"Here... Take this. For a taxi, food, or anything else you may need."

"Roman... You know I can't take this from you. I'll be getting my first check in two weeks for rent, I'm sure I'll have some money left over... I really want to feel like I don't have to depend on you for everything. I want a place of my own, and I want to make my own money."

Roman felt hurt by this, he felt like Melody was telling him that she didn't need him or want him around. He felt like she was trying to push him away.

"So... You don't need me around... Are you trying to push me away Melody?"

"No!... It's not like that at all. I just want to feel independent... So that I don't feel like a child having to depend on their parents."

Roman nodded his head like he understood, but smiled at her gently placed the money in her hand and placed his hand on top of hers. His gray eyes were looking directly into her brown eyes.

"Here... It's for what you need until you have your check then... At least promise me that you won't walk where you need to go. I want to know that you're safe... Please, take it."

Melody finally sighed and put the money in her pocket.

"I know now that with your new job you may not get to call me everyday, but call me when you can, which I hope is at least once a week. I'll want to know that you're safe. I'll want to hear your voice and see you so I would prefer video chat."

"I'll call you when I can, and hopefully we'll get to video chat each other a lot. Of course I'll be at my apartment watching Raw and Smackdown cheering you and The Shield on.

"Good. I told you this before, but I'm very proud of you Melody. You've come a long way since we met."

Melody trying to stay strong, but it was getting closer for him to leave. She finally couldn't take it anymore and wrapped her arms around him to hug him.

"I know we can talk and video chat, but it's going to be so hard not being with you. I just thought about all the army couples... They go fight for months, and some of them don't come back alive. I'm just... really going to miss you Roman."

Roman noticed that Melody was trying to hold back tears. Melody was also afraid that while they were apart that Roman would find someone else.

"I'll miss you too Melody... Don't do that... Stay strong for me. I can't have you breaking down on me now. If you do that I won't be able to leave."

Roman wrapped his arms around her and hugged her tight.

"Promise me something Roman."

"Anything."

"Promise me that if you want to be with someone else you'll be honest with me and not play around with my emotions."

Roman was surprised by what she just said and had to really hold her and he looked into her eyes.

"No... Melody look at me... I would never do anything like that to you. You shouldn't even be thinking like that, you mean too much to me."

Melody couldn't take it anymore and tears started falling from her eyes. She knew it would be months before he would be able to hold her in his arms again. Roman held her close to his chest, they could both feel each other's heart beating. Melody still had tears in her eyes and noticed that Roman was trying to fight back tears now too and he took his thumb and wiped off Melody's cheeks then brought his forehead close to hers. Melody took a breath and finally said something back to him.

"I just wish... There was a way to teach music and still be with you. It's... Really hard trying to choose between two things that you want."

"I know... But now we're both living our dream. I'm a WWE Superstar and now you're a music teacher, but yeah it is really hard trying to choose... This is hard on me too... I know we'll have to go months without really being together... It's going to be really hard for me to let you go, to not have you in my arms, or not be able to kiss you."

"Then... We should do that now... For as long as we have left. I think we actually need this time apart so we can really test our relationship."

Neither of them said anything else, Melody looked into his eyes and knew that he meant every word. They were already in each other's arms, Roman put his other hand on her chin and tilted up as he leaned down to kiss her. This is what they needed. When words weren't enough, it was time for action. Ended the kiss when Roman had to say something.

"Stay strong for me Melody. The last thing I want to see when I leave is your smiling face, and happy beautiful brown eyes. I want you to stay happy, today is the first day of your dream job. You're going to be the best music teacher that school's ever had. Believe That!"

Melody couldn't help but giggle but things turned serious again when Roman kissed her again and then looked into her eyes.

"I love you Melody."

Melody was shocked. She thought that things were happening so fast, this was the first time he had ever said he loved her. Her shocked expression changed to happy and excited.

"You love me?!"

"Yes... So much."

Melody then pretty much attacked his lips with a kiss. Roman didn't hesitate to deepen the kiss. This time they kissed until they had to pull away for air.

"I love you too Roman."

They kissed one more time, but it was brief because Roman heard the last call for his plane.

"I really do love you Melody, but I have to go."

"Ok... Call me when you land. If I can't answer the phone, leave me a voicemail and I'll call or video chat you later."

"I will. Good luck today."

"Thanks, be careful in the ring ok."

"I'll try."

They gave each other a quick last kiss and said I love you one more time before they went their separate ways. They waved at each other and Melody watched him until she couldn't see him anymore. Once Roman was on the plane Dean came up to him and pat him on the back.

"There you are... We were starting to wonder if you were coming."

"Yeah, I made it... Barely."

"What do you mean?"

"It was really hard to let her go..."

Seth looked at him and spoke up.

"Did you tell her?"

"I had to... I couldn't leave without telling her that I love her."

"So you told her... What did she do, or say?"

Roman laughed.

"Well she pretty much tackled me with a kiss and then said that she loved me too. She seemed a lot happier too. I really hope she'll be ok now that we're gone."

Dean nudged Roman arm and had a smirk on his face.

"She'll be fine, It's you we're worried about. Do you think you can keep her out of your head long enough to have a match?"

Roman rolled his eyes and ignored the question. Truth be told, he probably would have a hard time focusing on matches. As for Melody, she did what Roman wanted and decided to play it safe and take a taxi. She was sad that Roman was gone, but was excited for her first day as a music teacher. She wondered how this time away from each other would effect their relationship. They both knew it would be a while before they could really be together again. Would their time away from each other cause their relationship to fade or would it grow even stronger?

Someone Special

Chapter Twenty Seven

Melody arrived at the school ten minutes before school started to meet up with the main music teacher. This teacher had more experience, but had a bunch of music books that the students would sing songs out of. She smiled and held out her hand and shook Melody's hand.

"Hi, you must be Melody, I've heard great things about you from Lisa. My name is Stephanie, I'm the main music teacher. I was starting to wonder if anyone was going to take the job. The classroom size has been growing for the last few years and I the more students there are, the more help I need so thank you for taking the job."

"No problem, I've actually always wanted to be a music teacher, but I always thought I needed a degree."

"If you're a main teacher, but I needed help so I wasn't going to turn help away. On days that I may not be able to come you'll be in charge. So if you stay for two or three years, you'll be used to the way things are and you won't even need a degree."

"I guess you'll be in charge of lesson plans. What exactly will I be doing?"

"Well after what Lisabtold me about you, I may need to rethink my lesson plans. She said that you really made a connection with her kids. You seem really young, are you married or have many kids of your own?"

"Oh I'm twenty four years old, I just look younger than I really am. No I'm not married and I don't have any kids."

"Wow... Are you planning on having kids in the future?"

"I don't know... I actually just got into a relationship with someone, my first relationship. Teaching kids is completely different from having kids of my own... My life is complicated... I don't know how I would do with kids of my own... The last thing I want to happen is ending up being a single mom trying to raise a bunch of kids, because marriages these days... They don't last. I just don't want to have kids and have them growing up hating me. Kids grow up and move on, at a school there are always younger kids that come in when the older ones move on... Why get so attached to them if they're going to move on in a few years?"

"You must have really been through a lot, but anyway I didn't mean to get so personal so quick. Lisa told me that I needed to rethink my lesson plans because she said that students aren't really interested in learning music from books. She said that her kids were interested in what you were doing...she said you were really good with them. My problem is that kids of certain age groups are hard to teach, but Lisa's kids are twelve, nine, and five. She said you did great with all of them and even stopped a fight."

"I had to do something without physically getting involved so I found something that would make a noise that would get their attention and stop them from fighting, then I separated them. I didn't have much time, but I did what I could that I thought would interest them. I found some drums and train whistles and made up a game so they could get rid of their anger. Music isn't just about singing songs and learning from books... It has to do with what your emotions and how you're feeling. I got in trouble a lot as a kid, music was the only thing that kept me out of trouble. For the kids that don't like math or science, music is their way of getting through school. I'd like to try to connect with students with things that relate to them. I don't want them to just learn about music from books, I want them making music and feeling the emotion from the music."

"Yeah... I think I know what you mean, but it is also important to learn from the books. I think we can work together and divide the time up. For one half of the class we can have the students learn from books and the other half of the class can be whatever you decide. We can switch up the order each time. We can do book learning at the beginning of one day and then on another day we can do what you want to start off the day."

"Ok, that sounds good. You have the most experience so for the most part I'll watch and see what you do."

"You don't have to follow what I want to do, we don't exactly have to go by the lesson plans, we can change it up. Don't be afraid to take charge, the kids may get tired of just listening to me. It's good to have teachers that teach in a different way."

The first school bell of the day rang.

"Oh... Here they come Melody, our first class of the day is Kindergarten."

Melody smiled and watched as about thirty kids came in the room. Many of kids were staring at her, but she could tell that they were tired since it was so early. These were Kindergarten kids, they were just learning to read so she thought it would be a bit challenging if they had to learn from the books. It was early in the morning and they didn't really have a lot of energy so if they tried to read, it would probably make them even more tired. Stephanie told them to find a spot to sit down. She had bits of tape on the carpet which showed where the kids were to sit. There was a bit of talking from some of the kids, but most of them were tired so they were quiet. Lisa got on the intercom so she could talk and do the morning announcements. After the kids did the Pledge of Allegiance they sat back down. Melody didn't like that they had to sit back down. She thought they should get up and move around so they could really wake up. She didn't want to say anything to Stephanie because it was the first day and she had more experience. Stephanie introduced herself to the Kindergartners and to Melody. Melody was standing at a certain part of the room and finally noticed someone she recognized. Lisa's daughter Hannah was in Kindergarten. Once Hannah noticed Melody was there she smiled and waved. Melody smiled and waved. She had already made an impact in her life and thought about what she said earlier about not getting too attached.

It was ok to get attached to the kids even if they grew up and moved on. If she could make a difference in their lives for the better than she was doing her job. She noticed that even the first graders were having a hard time reading the books. The second graders didn't have as hard of a time reading, but they didn't seem very interested. As the classes went along the students didn't seem very interested or awake until eleven, the third grade class. Around two, the sixth grade class the students seemed to talk a lot and were ready to go home and weren't really interested. Melody knew that she didn't really have a say in changing anything since she was new, but she thought that since the older kids were used to school better than the other kids they could handle having a music class first thing in the morning. She noticed that the classes that were the most interested and awake were the third, fourth, and fifth grade classes. This could be because of their age, or the time of day they had class. She wasn't sure if changing up the last class of the day would change anything because at the end of the day she was sure that everyone was ready to go home. She wasn't sure if there was anything she could do to change the way they learn or the time of day the classes met, but she at least wanted to talk to Lisa and Stephanie about what she thought. At the end of the day Melody took a taxi back to her apartment and since she had money she could pay the person that was renting her apartment the rent for the month. Melody had enough money for food and was actually thankful to Roman for the money he gave her, but was glad that in two weeks she would be making money of her own from the job she really wanted. Melody was busy for the most part when she got to the apartment unpacking the things she had to make it as homey as possible. By the time she was done it was five in the evening and she was busy with everything that she forgot to check her phone. She finally checked her phone and noticed that she had missed a call from Roman and that he left her a voicemail.

"Hey Melody, I know you probably can't answer the phone right now because you're at school, but I thought I would call you like I promised to let you know that me and the guys landed safely and that we're on our way to the arena to help set up. So when you get a chance you can call me, or video chat me. I'd like to know how your first day of school went. Also... About the whole I love you thing, I'm sorry about having to tell you and leave. I hope I didn't freak you out with me telling you since we just got together, but I started feeling this way before we got together and I just had to tell you before I left. It wasn't just a heat of the moment thing... I meant it. I miss you already... I hope I get to talk or see you soon... I love you Babygirl. Bye."

Melody smiled at the message he left her and how he said that he loved her again. She took her phone and decided that she wanted to video chat him and that calling him wasn't enough. She waited for a few seconds to see what would happen. Roman and The Shield were working out when Roman heard his phone going off and he looked to see who it was. Dean and Seth weren't far behind him. Roman had a smile on his face once he saw who it was. Dean gave him a look.

"Well are you going to answer it or stare at it all night?"

Roman ignored Dean and Seth and pressed the button to accept her video chat. He noticed the way her eyes lit up when she saw him.

"Hey Beautiful."

"Hey Superman... Hey Dean and Seth, I see you guys in the background."

Dean and Seth wave and say hey. Roman got straight down to business.

"How was your first day Melody? Tell me all about it."

"Not really much happens on the first day. I mainly had to watch Stephanie the main music teacher and watch how she did things with each grade. I think a few things need to be done here."

"Like what?"

"Well she teaches them with textbooks... They're little kids, they don't want to be reading out of books in a music class, they want to make music. I think she expects too much of them. She expects Kindergarten and first graders to be able to read out of the books, she's too tough on them, and they have a Kindergarten class for the first class of the day."

"Oh... Are they hard to handle?"

"No... Actually the opposite. The younger kids have a hard time having classes so early in the morning, they were so tired. Most of the kids didn't seem interested in learning from the books. The easier classes were third, fourth and fifth grade, maybe because of their age or maybe because of the time of the day, but the sixth graders were kind of hard to handle maybe because they're older and it's hard to have them learn and have fun. They're the last class of the day and they talk a lot and seemed uninterested in the way things were being taught. This could happen with anyone because at the end of the day the kids are ready to go home."

"Oh... So did you have a bad day? Because from the way you talk, you sound like you had a rough day."

"Oh I didn't have a bad day, but Stephanie might have, she just wanted me to watch and see how each class behaved. If it were up to me I would have the older kids in the morning and the younger kids at the end of the day. She told me that we could switch up the way things are taught. I think tomorrow I'll try something and see if the kids like that better than learning from the books."

"Sounds like the kids were bored on their first day."

"I don't mean to sound like I'm trying to tell Stephanie what to do since she has more experience, but yeah... They did seem bored."

Roman laughed.

"Ok so you take over tomorrow and show her how it's done."

"You make it sound like I'm better than her."

"Well when you went that day to practice, it seemed like you did ok with those kids, and you said they were different ages."

"Yeah."

"Well you do your thing tomorrow and we'll see who the kids like better."

Melody was blushing over this.

"Well... How was your day Roman?"

"Not very interesting... We sat on a four hour flight, helped set up and now we're working out, the interesting part doesn't start until Raw starts... You had me a little worried."

"Why?"

"It was getting late, I was starting to wonder if you were going to call me back."

"I was... sorry... I've just had a busy day. Once I got back to my apartment I paid rent for the month and then I went out to get some groceries, then I unpacked my things and tried to make it feel like home a little. I'm a bit stubborn sometimes... So thank you for giving me money for food. I don't always think things through."

"You're welcome... It's ok to ask for help sometimes."

"I know... But here in two weeks I'll have my own paycheck. I'll be able to buy what I need or what I want, but thank you for everything Roman, you helped turn my life around."

"Well actually you saw the help wanted sign and took matters into your own hands and found your own place... Even though you're always welcome at my house. What's mine is yours."

"Thanks Roman, but it wouldn't feel right for me to be there without you."

"So you didn't do it because you needed space? If I were there you would stay with me?"

"If you really wanted me to..."

"Of course I'd want you to, that's why I was saying you could stay there even with me gone."

Melody was quiet for a moment until she thought of something else to say.

"Do you know what's going to be hard for me to get used to?"

"What?"

"Sleeping on my own again... I was just starting to get used to being around you and you would always hold me when I was upset or hold me as I went to sleep."

"I know... It's going to be so hard for me to go to sleep tonight... I miss you already Babygirl... It doesn't feel right to not have you here in my arms."

"I know and it's only been a day. How in the world are we going to make it six months?"

"I don't know, but I think I would rather video chat than talk on the phone because this way at least I can see your face. When we're together again I'm not letting you go, I'm going to hold you in my arms and kiss you as much as I can."

Dean and Seth were still nearby and for the most part tuned everything out, but heard that last part and started making kissy faces and kissy noises. Melody laughed a little.

"You guys are still back there? Way to kill the mood."

Roman sent Dean and Seth somewhere else.

"Sorry Melody... Next time we video chat I'm going to make sure it's just us."

"It's ok... They don't bother me."

Melody was smiling, but had a blush on her face.

"You're beautiful Melody... I really do wish I was there so I could kiss you and hold you in my arms."

"I'll be counting down the days. I think we can make at least a few minutes to video chat each day. How long have we been talking?"

"Um... Two hours."

"Woah really? I'm sorry, you probably have things to do before Raw starts."

"I've still got a few minutes. Don't apologize... Anytime I get to spend with you is worth it... Even if it's by video chat. I know there are only twenty four hours in a day, but I'd make time for you. So yeah... We can try to video chat each day, that's perfectly fine."

"We can still make this work... Army families probably do this all the time."

"I don't think Army families are this lucky... Overseas they don't really have the technology we do. We are actually really lucky... It's amazing how fast technology changes... Ten, or fifteen years ago there were still huge computers and now you have computers that will come apart like a tablet, video chat ten or fifteen years ago video chat would seem like a hundred years away. Technology is great, I like that we can talk and see each other's faces, but a picture on a screen isn't good enough. I don't think I can wait six months Melody...I'll do everything I can to see if I can see you sooner."

"Well I'll see you later on. Who are you fighting?"

"Well... Since I almost killed Bray it won't be The Wyatt Family because Luke and Erick are like mindless zombies without their leader. I have to be fair so sorry... No spoilers."

"Aw come on please?"

"Nope... Sorry Baby girl, you'll just have to wait like everyone else. But it probably won't be as interesting as Shield vs Wyatts."

"I'm sure I'll still like it. Even if they're easy opponents out there, you guys be careful out there. I don't want you guys getting hurt."

"We'll be fine. I hope you enjoy the show, I'll be sure to really bring the fight then. I've got to go Melody, I'll video chat you tomorrow ok?"

"Ok."

"Have a good night Babygirl. I love you."

"I love you too Roman."

"Bye."

"Bye."

The video chat ended and Roman caught up with Dean and Seth to get ready for Raw. Melody sat down on her couch and waited for Raw to come on. She loved the main event and would have to talk to Roman about it the next day. Once Raw ended Melody knew that she had to go to bed since she would have to get up early, but she couldn't sleep. A few hours later Roman was in his hotel room with the same problem. It was now one in the morning and all Melody wanted to do was sleep. A thought came across her mind, she grabbed the teddy bear Roman bought her and held onto it. It wasn't the same as holding onto Roman, but the memory of the night he got it for her made her smile and she closed her eyes and finally fell asleep. As for Roman, he had to hang onto a pillow and imagine it as Melody before he fell asleep. This made sleeping a little easier for both of them.

Chapter Twenty Eight

The next day Melody decided that she would take over the music lesson to see how the students respond to her. She needed to talk to Stephanie before school started.

"Stephanie... I was hoping I could talk to you before the day starts."

"Ok, what's on your mind?"

"Well... I don't know if I have a say in anything since I'm new, but there was something that I just had to talk to you about."

"What is it?"

"It could have been because yesterday was the first day, but it seemed like the Kindergarten and first graders were really tired and they really seemed to struggle with reading from the book. Everyone else didn't have a hard time, but they didn't really seem interested. Then at the end of the day it seemed like the sixth graders weren't interested in anything, maybe this could have been anyone because at the end of the day I guess the kids want to go home. I was just watching, but the third, fourth, and fifth graders seemed the most interested once you started playing the piano. Maybe it was because their age group is right in the middle or it could have been because of the time of day. Again... I'm new here and I don't really have a say in anything, but couldn't we make it so that the older kids have music first, and if you want them to learn from books, couldn't you focus on the older kids?"

"I noticed all of that yesterday. I wanted you to watch yesterday to see how I did things, but you're right, they didn't seem really interested in learning from the book. I guess I was a little tough on the younger students by expecting them to read from the books. I don't think I can do anything about what time the classes come in, you'll have to talk to Lisa about that. I can let you take over for today, I'd like to see how the students respond to you."

The school bell rang and the Kindergarten class came in looking tired. Melody was going to be in charge for the day, she was nervous and excited. The Kindergarten class was only on their second day of being at school so they weren't used to the way things were supposed to be. Once Lisa finished the morning announcements some of the kids were sitting down being quiet while a few others were walking around the room talking. Melody decided that the best way to get everyone's attention would be by blowing the train whistle like she did during her interview. The kids that were talking got quiet and the kids that were tired were scared. Melody had her hand in the air and now everyone was looking at her.

"Can I please have everyone go stand by the wall?"

They did what she wanted and stood by a wall near the piano Melody still had her hand up.

"I don't know if you remember me from yesterday, but my name is Melody... Ms. Melody. I'll be here to help out . I do have one rule... Everyone listen ok?"

Everyone was listening.

"When I blow the whistle and put my hand in the air, it means to be quiet and look at me. Whenever you have a question, quietly raise your hand and I'll answer your question. Let's test it out... I want everyone to raise their hands in the air... No talking please."

They were quiet and put their hands in the air, some of them put both hands in the air.

"Ok very good, but just one hand. I noticed that everyone seemed really tired yesterday... Some of you look tired today, who's tired?"

Most of the kids kept their hands in the air.

"Ok... So I have an idea to wake up... I want everyone to take your hands and reach up as high as you can."

The kids had their hands up and were on their tippy toes trying to stretch and look really tall.

"Very good, now everybody reach down low to the ground and touch your toes like this..."

Melody had to show them what to do and then they did it.

"Ok... Everyone remember that when I have my hand in the air and blow the whistle that means to look at me and be quiet ok? I want to do something else... On the count of three I want everyone to yell HEY really loud... One... Two... Three!"

The kids all yell HEY really loud. They didn't know whether to yell it once or more than once. Some of the kids stopped after yelling one time while the others kept shouting. Melody raised her hand and blew the whistle. They stopped shouting and looked at Melody.

"Ok good... I want you to try one more thing... While I beat on this drum, I want you all to jump and shake your heads. When I stop beating on the drum, everyone stop jumping ok? Ready... Go!"

Melody beat on the drum twenty times as they jumped and shook their heads. They were all smiling and laughing. Once she stopped the kids stopped.

"Great job everyone! Is everyone awake now?"

They all shouted yes and they were now happy and full of energy. Melody smiled at them and was officially ready to start the day.

"Good. Everyone is awake now. I don't know if will do this tomorrow, but on the days that I'm in charge we can do this to wake up. Did everyone have fun with our wake up exercise?"

Everyone shouted yes.

"Good, we can do this next time I'm in charge. Now that everyone is awake, we can have some real fun."

Once the day was over Stephanie was really impressed with how Melody handled the kids. Melody had more fun teaching the kids than she did standing and watching. She was happy that the kids were able to have fun and learn at the same time. She got to her apartment and remembered that she could video chat with Roman, she was really happy and couldn't wait to tell him about her day. She started the video chat and waited to see if he would answer. After a minute the video chat no longer showed that there was a call waiting which means that Roman missed the call. She knew that he was probably busy so she didn't think much about it. She sent a text message to Dean and Seth and told them that today was really her official first day of teaching and for them to tell Roman to call her back with a video chat when he had the chance. She didn't really expect for Dean to respond, but thought about sending him the message anyway. Seth on the other hand had his phone a lot and Melody was surprised that he didn't respond back. Seth was usually fast to respond, but Melody didn't get a call or a text from anyone all day. Melody spent a lot of time singing along with her radio. The hours seemed to go by slow for her, but she stayed up after eleven hoping for a message, call, or video chat request, but didn't get anything from them. Melody sighed sadly and held the bear that Roman got her close. She held the bear close to her heart, turned on the tv for a while. Not much was on, but Melody watched tv until she fell asleep. Melody's phone was on silent so thirty minutes after she fell asleep she didn't know that Roman was trying to video chat with her. Once Roman knew Melody wasn't going to video chat with him he noticed that it was after midnight and assumed that Melody was asleep so he sent a text message to her that she would get the next morning.

"Hey Babygirl, I really sorry I couldn't video chat with you earlier. You sent messages to Dean and Seth, we were all very busy today, we stayed and signed autographs for hours, then we had the taping for Smackdown. It was after midnight when we got back to the hotel, I wasn't really thinking and I tried to video chat with you, I forget that you have to get up early now. Dean and Seth told me that today was your official first day of teaching. Congratulations Babygirl, I hope it went well. Wednesdays we don't really do anything. I promise I'll video chat with you tomorrow, please don't be upset with me for missing your call. I'm sorry I didn't get to see or talk to you today, I hope you sleep ok and I hope you get this message in the morning when you wake up. I love you so much Melody." - Roman.

The next day Melody did get his message. Since she got up so early and he got to his hotel so late she was sure that he was still sleeping. He promised to video chat her so she smiled at his message and got up to get ready for school. This time Stephanie was in charge of the classes, but she went with Melody's plan with morning stretches. Melody didn't get to do much because it was Stephanie's day to teach, they agreed to switching days. She did get to video chat with Roman. A few weeks went by, video chats between Roman and Melody were hit or miss. The date was September twenty eighth, Melody's birthday, it was a Friday, but it had been two days since she talked to Roman and she was really starting to miss him. The kids had unusual bad behavior. When she didn't get to talk to Roman and the kids act up, it would make Melody feel down and out. It was lunchtime and around noon, Melody had fourth graders this hour, they had their good days and bad days. Nobody knew it was Melody's birthday, with not talking to Roman for two days and the fourth graders acting up she wasn't having a very good birthday. Everyone came back to the music room from the lunchroom and some of the students noticed a bunch of flowers on a table along with a bunch of cupcakes. Melody was feeling down and out and didn't notice it at first. Lisa's son Jacob was in this class and got her attention.

"Ms. Melody?"

"Yes Jacob?"

"There is something over there on that table for you."

Melody was surprised but confused, she didn't think that anyone at the school knew about her birthday. There were flowers, but also a card. She told the class that they could all get a cupcake. Stephanie noticed that Melody was busy and decided to take over. Melody loved the flowers and opened up the card. The kids were quiet as they noticed a few people come in. Melody read the card.

"Happy Birthday Melody. Sorry We've been busy for the past few days, I guess the last few days have been rough on you. I hope these flowers and card are enough to cheer you up, but since today is your birthday, we do have a surprise for you... Turn around."

Melody was confused when she finished reading the card, but turned around when she was finished reading and was in the biggest surprise of her life. Her eyes went wide and she had the biggest smile on her face when she saw who was.

"Roman!"

He was standing right behind her with the biggest smile on his face. Melody almost tackled him with a hug.

"Hey Melody."

Dean and Seth were there and saw the way she hugged Roman.

"Hey... We're here too."

Melody gave Dean and Seth a hug too. Everyone in the room was confused. Stephanie came over to Melody.

"I didn't know today was your birthday Melody. You've done a good job for today so you can go ahead and leave if you want to. You seem a little busy anyway."

"Ok thanks Stephanie. I'll make it up to you on Monday."

"Oh don't worry about it. Happy birthday, go have fun."

Melody left the room and the boys followed her out. As soon as she was in the hallway she tackled Roman with a hug again.

"Oh my God! How are you guys here?!"

Roman smiled at her and gave her a quick kiss.

"We had the weekend off. Plus it was your birthday... I just had to be here. Come on, let's go enjoy your birthday, and the weekend while we can."

Melody had a smile on her face, and even a few tears. She really missed him and was so happy he was here. She gave Dean and Seth another hug before kissing Roman again. They made their way out of the school and got in the car, the first place they went was the arcade. Melody didn't have a birthday cake and she didn't blow out candles to make a wish, but today she got exactly what she wished for.

Someone Special

Chapter Twenty Nine

Melody was surprised when Roman and The Shield showed up for her birthday. They went to the arcade where Melody challenged Seth to air hockey and lost, but when she challenged him to Guitar Hero she beat him. She ended up beating Dean in everything, but this time when she challenged Roman to air hockey he won a game then she won a game. As long as Roman was in town she wouldn't feel bad about staying in his house. She had agreed to stay with him at his house only hen he was in town, even though he didn't mind having her stay. Melody still wanted to feel independent, she was making her own money now, but Roman still offered to buy her things. The Shield was in town for the weekend and Melody spent every moment she could with Roman before he had to leave. The weekend went by faster than they wanted it to and soon Roman was on the road again. They would have to go back to video chat. As the months went by Melody improved as a teacher and Stephanie was impressed and noticed that the kids seemed to really connect with Melody and decided that she would let Melody take over as the main teacher. Even though Melody and Roman weren't together much their relationship didn't seem to be effected by it because they would always talk to each other, maybe not everyday, but at least once or twice a week, they would always have something to talk about. They were both living their dream jobs and were excited to talk about it. Finally after three months WWE was coming back to Florida. It was going to be in Miami, Melody's hometown. Roman surprised her with ringside tickets. Melody knew the show ended late, but she had been staying up late even though she had school the next day. Melody was traveling with The Shield for a few hours until they got to Miami.

"It feels so good to be traveling with you guys again. I've missed you guys. Thanks for picking me up Roman."

"No problem Babygirl, We're stopping in Miami and Orlando. You stay up pretty late so I thought I'd get you some tickets. I guess after a while Pensacola gets a little boring."

"Not really, but if I could choose between watching it on tv or watching it live, I would want to watch it live. But I'm making my own money now, if I had known WWE was going to be in Florida I would have bought my own tickets."

"Then it wouldn't be a surprise now would it?"

"I guess not."

It was actually about three in the afternoon when they got to Miami. They were driving around and Melody recognized a lot of her surroundings, but things seemed slightly different and then things from earlier that year came back to her and Roman noticed that Melody's mood seemed to change. He could tell that she wasn't as happy as she was just by the look on her face.

"What's on your mind Melody?"

"I was just thinking about the last time I was here and how my life was... It was late spring, early summer... I was working at a bar, my boss beat me and tried to rape me... Then I lost my home to a tornado, and my mom tells me that she hates me. I almost committed suicide here. I've just been so happy over the last few months, I just don't want to go back to living the way I was... I'm just afraid that one day I'm going to wake up and find out that what I'm doing now is just a dream. I can't go back to that."

"You won't ever have to Melody. We may be on the road a lot, but we're not going to let you go back to the way you were living. You're better than that Melody."

"I'm glad you think that. My mom doesn't seem to think that I'll be worth anything unless I do what she wants me to do."

Dean was upset over this and started shouting.

"You know what Melody... Screw your mom! Who cares what she thinks?! She doesn't understand what you've been through and she doesn't care either. I saw the kind of house you mom lived in... It's not right what she did. She kicked you out and you had to struggle while she didn't have a care or worry in the world. That's why I can't stand millionaires... They don't have to worry about where they live or where their next meal will come from. They think they're better than everyone else. They're selfish and only think and care about themselves. That's why it pissed me off so much when I saw what kind of house your mom lived in... People like... Donald Trump... I just want to kick their asses and knock their smug looks and selfish egos off their faces."

Melody's phone started going off and she was surprised because the only people that ever called her was Roman, Seth, or Dean. She looked down at her phone and noticed that her mom was calling her and hesitated. She wasn't sure if she should answer it but remembered that the last time it showed that her mom was calling, it was actually her brother with her phone. She looked at Roman still trying to decide if she should answer it.

"I don't know if I should answer or not. Last time it was John, but what if it's her? I don't want her telling me that she hates me or that she's disappointed in me for dropping out of college."

"You don't have to answer it if you don't want to, but if your mom, or even your brother want to talk to you, then I would answer it."

Melody decided against it and a few seconds later her phone stopped ringing.

"I wasn't going to answer it. After she told me that she hated me and threatened to call the cops on me. Now I'm supposed to believe that she suddenly cares about me? If it was John he'll probably leave a message like he did before, but the weird thing is, he hasn't talked to me since that day I was at her house... Maybe she doesn't want him talking to me."

About a minute after her phone stopped ringing it started ringing again.

"Maybe I should answer it... Maybe it's John."

"If you do answer it... We're not here... We won't say a word, it's just you and the caller."

Melody was nervous, but finally decided to answer her phone.

"Hello?"

She was really nervous when she heard her mom's voice.

"Is this Melody?"

"Yeah... Mom? You're calling me?"

"Yeah... I needed to talk to you. I wanted to... apologize for what happened the last time we saw each other. I didn't know it at the time, but I had a problem... I realized that I liked being in control of things. I tried to control your life and I was doing the same with John. After that day... With all the things I said I realized that I had a problem. For the past five months or so, I've been seeing a therapist. I realized that my anger, bitterness and hatefulness wasn't because of you, but because of your dad for cheating and walking out. When he died... I guess I realized that things were never going to be the same. I had things that I still wanted to say to him, I did want to get back together, but I was just afraid of getting hurt again. My sadness turned to anger and hatefulness. I should have never taken my anger out on you... You don't have to forgive me... I don't deserve your forgiveness, but I just wanted you to know how sorry I am and that I'm getting help so that I can understand how you feel. I'd really like to see you and try to fix things."

It was quiet for a minute on both ends. Melody actually had a few tear in her eyes. Roman didn't want to say anything, but it was getting harder not to stop the car when he saw the tears in her eyes. She could tell by her mom's tone that she really meant what she was saying. She was actually happy that her mom called her and felt that her apology was a step in the right diretion. When her mom didn't hear anything she thought Melody hung up.

"Melody are you still there?... Please say something."

Melody wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled.

"You... you want to see me?"

"Yes Melody... I'd like to talk to you in person and hopefully sort something would like to see you too."

"Hang on..."

Melody held her phone so that he mom didn't hear what she was saying.

"Roman... she wants to see me?"

"Do you want to see her?"

"I don't know... I'm kind of afraid to because of what happened last time, but she apologized to me and told me that she's seeing a therapist."

"Did you forgive her?"

"I don't know yet, but she said that she wanted to see me, and John does too."

"So... do you want me to take you to your mom's house?"

"If you're ok with it."

"Melody... she's your mom, we're in your hometown. Of course it's ok. We don't have to be at the arena until six. We still have three hours. If you want to want to go see your family then we'll go see your family."

Melody smiled at this and started talking on her phone again.

"Ok... I'll come by mom."

"Ok... I'll see you soon Melody... Bye."

"Bye."

Melody hung up the phone and noticed that Roman had a smile on his face.

"I really hope things go well for you. At least she's talking to you now... that's a little bit of progress."

Melody gave him the address and about ten minutes later they were pulling into her mom's driveway. Melody sat in the car for a while still unsure about going in.

"I don't know if I want to do this... the last time I was here she told me that she hated me and I almost comitted suicide."

Dean spoke up.

"If things don't go well I'm TPing the house this time."

Roman cut Dean off.

"Do you want us to come with you?"

"No... this is something I need to take care of on my own... If things don't work out this time I'm walking out and I'll never come back or think about her again."

"Ok... we'll be right here if you need us."

"Ok."

Melody got out of the car and slowly made her way to her mom's door. She knocked on the door and looked at the ground. When her mom opened the door she was surprised when her mom hugged her.

"Melody... thanks for coming over."

Her brother came down the stairs when he heard another voice.

"Melody!"

Melody smiled when John joined in on the hug.

"Come in... we have so much to talk about."

Melody came in and sat down on the couch. Things seemed different from the last time she was here. Her mom did seem different. John even seemed happier. Her mom started the conversation.

"So Melody... I wanted to invite you here because I thought it was time we fixed things between us. John suggested that I see a therapist and that has probably been the best thing I've ever done. I got help for my controlling problem. So when John's in football now... whenever he graduates high school he can go to college for whatever he wants. I've also become more understanding of people's feelings. So... we can talk now and hopefully I'll actually listen to what you have to say."

"You have no idea how long I've wanted this... to just talk and not yell at each other. It got so hard for me that I didn't even want to talk to you because we could never do it without yelling at each other... Even though dad walked out he still went to my concerts to support me... you could never understand why music meant something to me. Even though dad walked out... I always felt like he understood me better."

"Then... maybe tell me. I want to understand. Why is music important to you?"

"I guess because it's the only thing I've ever been good at. I was never good at math or science... I could never be a doctor even if you wnted me to be because... being a doctor is all about math and science, which is something I've never been good at. So when I dropped out of college it was because I ran out of money and I gave up because I always thought I would never be good enough to go to a university. So... when I got a job at a bar, it was never because I wanted to whore around. I'm still a virgin.I actually made good money singing for people, but I wasn't proud of working at a bar, but I was actually making good money, I had my own place... until the tornado came around. If I had known my boss was a creep I would have never worked there... I had water one night and when I wasn't looking he put a drug in my drink and it made me sick and tired. He and his friends tried to rape me, and they beat me. If it wasn't for Roman... they probably would have raped and killed me."

"Wow... I'm sorry. I really didn't know what you've been through, but who's Roman?"

"He's actually me boyfriend now... he's actually a wrestler for WWE."

"You mean that wrestling thing you and your dad used to watch? He's a wrestler?"

"Yeah... I know it doesn't sound realistic, but he was really there that night and he's saved my life more than once... I guess we kind of bonded and now we're together."

"Oh... I'll have to meet him sometime."

"He's actually outside with Dean and Seth. John has already met them."

"Dean and Seth?"

"Yeah, they're wrestlers too. Dean and Seth are two of my closest friends... they're like older brothers to me. They helped look out for me. The last time I was here... I really had a breakdown and I lost my home and my job so I almost comitted suicide."

"I guess I was no help to you that day when you really needed me... I'm sorry that I drove you that far."

"It wasn't just that... my boss tried to rape me, I lost my job and my home. I just lost everything and wanted it all to end. But Dean... he saved me and he told me that his sister comitted suicide and that I was like a sister to him. Dean, Seth and Roman, they're all a group in WWE called The Shield, they all care for me. They're actually outside if you want to meet them."

"Ok."

They all went outside and Melody waved her hand to get Roman's attention. The guys got out of the car and made their way to her. Melody's mom went over and shook their hands. She met Dean and Seth first and stopped when she got to Roman.

"Woah... so you must be Roman! You're a tall one. Strong... handsome too. Melody... you sure found a hot one."

Melody blushed.

"He found me actually. I told you that already. I've actually got a ticket for Raw tonight."

"Wow that sounds like fun. I guess you'll be going soon."

"Yeah... they need to be at the arena at six so I guess we need to get going."

"Ok, but you'll come back sometime right?"

"Sure, but it will have to be on a weekend."

"Why?"

"Because I actually have a place of my own now. I live in Pensacola and I'm actually a music teaher at a school."

"Wow that's great Melody. You always said that one of the things you wanted to be was a music teacher. How is that working out for you?"

Great! To me there is nothing better than seeing a kid be excited about learning about music. They learn and they have fun while doing it, and I have fun teaching them. Most of the time, they're really well behaved."

"Well good. I'm glad things finally turned around for you. You're doing great on your own. You have your own place, and a job you've always wanted, you've got two friends, or even brothers, and even a strong, protective boyfriend. I'm very proud of you Melody. I'm sorry for all of the hurtful things I said to you in the past. When I said I hated you, I didn't mean it. After all the hurtful things I said to you I understand if you don't forgive me. I probably don't tell you this enough, but I love you Melody.."

Melody smiled and gave her mom a hug.

"I forgive you... and I love you too mom."

"So you'll come back sometime?"

"Yes, but right now we need to go."

"Ok.

Melody gives her mom and John a hug before she leaves, and they go to the arena. Things went better than she expected. Roman held her hand in the car.

"So that went well."

"Yeah it did... I didn't think I would ever get along with my mom like that. It feels good now that I can finally talk to her wihout her yelling at me. Now things are finally good in my family again. I get along with John and my mom now. Maybe we can be a happy family again."

"I'm happy for you Melody."

"My life really is turning around for the better. I'm finally getting along with my mom, I have the job I've always wanted, my own place, two big brothers and an amazing boyfriend."

Roman held her hand and kissed it.

"I'm glad things are turning around for you. You deserve happiness in your life."

"It's been a good day. Things are getting better with my mom, and now the day will get even better. I get to hang out with you guys and see Raw later."

"We're going to make this extra special for you tonight... Believe that! And believe in The Shield."

Melody smiled at him for using the old catchphrase.

"I already do believe in The Shield."

Melody was excited and couldn't wait to see what was in store for that night, what she didn't know was that she was in for a surprise later that night that he didn't want.

Someone Special

Chapter Thirty

Melody couldn't believe how great her day went, she seemed to make a lot of progress with her mom. Her mom had been seeing a therapist and her mom seemed like a completely different person. She actually listened to what Melody had to say and apologized for not understanding. At first when her mom called her and apologized she wasn't sure if she could forgive her. When Melody got to her mom's house and her mom apologized to her face she could tell by her tone of voice and the look in her eyes that she really had changed and that she meant what she was saying. Even though her mom said hurtful things to her in the past she decided to forgive her mom and be the better person. All Melody wanted was to fix things with her mom, they were definitely taking steps in the right direction. At first Melody wasn't sure if she wanted her mom to meet Roman and The Shield, but her mom was very accepting of them. She seemed a little impressed even that Roman and Melody were together. Roman could tell that Melody really was happy now that things were getting better with her mom. Melody had been through so much and now it seemed like all of her problems disappeared.

She had ringside seats and could see everything, she really enjoyed watching the matches live. She looked around at the other people in the crowd and wondered if anyone recognized her. She checked her twitter and didn't notice anything about her and Roman which must have meant that no one recognized her. The Shield were usually in main event matches, but tonight The Shield was in the first match of the night. They were going to challenge the new tag team champions The New Day. Melody thought it was weird that The Shield was having to fight The New Day. The Shield were main aventers and The New Day were mid-card wrestlers and yet The New Day were tag team champions. Maybe this was because the mid-card tag team division didn't have much competition besides Prime Time Players, Los Matadores, and Lucha Dragons. It seemed obvious to everyone when the match was announced that The Shield would beat The New Day since The Shield beat them before.

The match was pretty much dominated by The Shield, Roman was in the ring with Big E and was getting ready to end the match with a spear. Suddenly The Wyatt Family images flash quickly on the screen and the lights go out. The crowd reaction was huge with mostly cheers. With all the confusion Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston went over to The Shield corner and knocked Dean and Seth off the ring apron. Big E was still down, but while Roman looked up at the screen expecting a promo he was attacked by Luke and Erick. Big E got out of the ring and went over where Kofi and Xavier were and joined in on the attack on Dean and Seth. Roman did his best to fight off Luke and Erick, but they were two big guys and the numbers game caught up to him. It was a set up. Everyone thought The New Day was going to be an easy win for The Shield, but really it was just a distraction to bring back The Wyatt Family. As The Shield was being beat down by The New Day and two thirds of The Wyatt Family the crowd started booing this and then they could hear Bray talking on a microphone, but he still wasn't being shown on the screen.

"You thought this was over Roman? This doesn't end until I claim what's mine. I could have come back anytime I wanted, but I was waiting for her. I was beginning to think you left her like you do many others because I haven't seen her in a while. I was beginning to think I would never see her again, but you've been hiding from me... You can run and hide all you want, it doesn't matter, sooner or later you will come back to me. I already saw you, I know you're here. You're trying to blend in with the crowd, but you're not like anyone here, which makes you that much easier to find. Luke... Erick, find her... Bring her to me. I call her Abigail, but she may go by Melody."

Melody was freaking out and hoped that Luke and Erick didn't see her. She wasn't going to stay in one place and risk being seen so she kept her head down so no one could see her face. She decided to put a hood over her head so hopefully no one would notice her. Melody thought that if she could make her way over to the stairs that she could make her way up and make it to a bathroom where they wouldn't think to look for her and give up looking for her. Even though she was scared and wanted to get out of there as fast as she could she knew she couldn't run because that would easily give away her location. She had her back turned and started making her way up the stairs as calm as she could, but her heart rate increased and her hands and legs started to shake. She made it halfway up the stairs when she heard Bray's voice again.

"She's probably trying to hide her face and make her way out of the crowd. I can sense her fear... This will only make it easier to find you Melody."

Outside of the ring, The Shield were down on the ground still trying to figure out what was going on. Roman was also looking for Melody and saw her before Luke and Erick did and actually thought she was going to get away because he saw her towards the top of the stairs. Melody thought she was going to get away, but she didn't notice that someone spilled their drink so she didn't notice the sticky, slippery mess and slipped on one of the steps and tumbled all the way back down. Everyone saw her fall and their attention was on her which is something she hoped she could have avoided. She ended up scraping her knees, her arms, and even the top of her head. When she finally got down to the bottom everything went black for a moment and she couldn't move. When Roman saw Melody fall down the stairs even though he was hurt himself he still willed his way up and tried to run over to her, but The New Day were still at ringside and attacked him with chairs. Melody blacked out for a moment, she heard boos and noticed The New Day attacking Roman. She then noticed Luke and Erick making their way over to her. She was going to get up and run, but found that she couldn't move. She then felt the extreme pain in her right ankle, it had to be broken. She felt tears burn in her eyes and fall down her face. This was from her ankle and because she was scared and knew that there was nothing she could do to get away. Luke and Erick make their way over to her. Melody tried one last thing.

"No... Please... Leave me alone."

Even with her tears and pleas for them to leave her alone, her emotional state didn't seem to effect them at all and Luke only grabbed her and threw her over his shoulder and carried her away like she weighed nothing. Melody was hurt and knew it was no use in trying to fight back. She closed her eyes as the tears fell and hoped that this wasn't happening, and that this was all just a bad dream. She was still dizzy and in pain from falling down the steps and soon passed out. The New Day left and doctors and referees had to check on The Shield. Once Roman was aware of his surroundings he remembered that Melody got hurt and now was being taken away. He was concerned because Melody was hurt before Luke and Erick found her. Now that Bray was back, who knew what he would do to her. Even though Roman was beat down more than Dean and Seth he refused medical attention and only wanted to find Melody. Luke and brought Melody to a room and Bray told him to place her on a couch. Bray saw her fall down and noticed the places where she was bleeding. Her knee and forehead had large cuts and he knew a bandaid wouldn't be enough. He had skills no one knew about. He took a cold wash cloth and stopped the bleeding and then stitched up her knee and forehead. She had scrapes on her arms, but bandaids would take care of that. He then took off her shoes, he knew right away that it wasn't just her ankle, but her whole right foot that was broken. He decided that ice could be used later, but right now he would wrap up her foot. Once he was done with that he went back over to her head. He avoided touching the place where her stitches were, but he still held her head in his lap and he was petting the top of her head like an animal. Luke and Erick went somewhere else so it was just Melody and Bray. He rubbed her head and gently started talking to her.

"Rest now Melody... We can talk when you wake up. As you rest maybe just listen... I thought I lost you... Don't you see?... Roman is no good for you, otherwise you wouldn't be hurt right now. This is only physical pain, it's only tempotary... I have to wonder, how much mental and emotional pain has he put you through? I don't know why you do this? You're just like Abigail... We were destined to be together forever, but she didn't think so. She didn't love me the same way I loved her... She left me right before I could make her mine. I don't know where she is today... She's was wondering this earth and finally she's come back to me... It's you Melody... You are Abigail, me beloved. Why must you run from me and hide your feelings. If you want to be called Melody fine, but why must you deny your feelings for me when you know we are destined to be together? You're confused, you're still trying to find out who you are. In your confusion, you think you belong to Roman Reigns. To clear your confusion... Abigail... Melody, when you wake up I need to mark you. Of course you won't be alone in this... Luke and Erick must also recieve this mark so they themselves remember that they are my brothers. This needs to be done so that you have a permanent reminder as to who you really belong to. You're mine. You belong to me!"
