Be my Shield (Roman Reigns)

Chapter Nine

Sierra. Hotel. India. Echo. Lima. Delta. Shield

I began to walk down the stairs with Dean, Seth and Roman behind me and my title belt over my shoulder. I hadn't spoken to Roman since he blew up at me a few nights ago and after crying about it for a while i got angry, if he didnt want to let me explain then screw him. Stephanie had given AJ a chance to win the title back but i wasn't about to let that happen, i was going to make this quick.

"This title match is scheduled for one fall making her way to the ring accompanied by the shield from Miami, Florida. Mia Rose"

I jumped over the barrier and walked up the steps, climbing confidently into the ring. The guys stood outside the ring smiling up at me, except Roman who kept a straight a face. Rolling my eyes i jumped down and handed my belt to the ref. AJ stood across from me poised and ready to strike, this match was definitely going to be a good one. The bell rung and we began to circle each other before AJ pushed me back hard. I let her swing me into the ropes but as i bounced back i kicked her hard in the chest. Lifting her by her hair i set her up for a pile driver. Throwing my head back i howled to the crowd then pulled off the pile driver before pinning her. After the three count i lifted my belt victoriously. I glanced over at the guys Seth and Dean were cheering while Roman just stood there not even a hint of a smile on his face. As i watched the impassive look on his face my heart clenched in my chest, i realised i had deep feelings for Roman and seeing him not even acknowledge me made me snap. My anger and frustration grew tenfold and i lost it, dropping my belt i grabbed AJ by her hair and pulled her up before throwing her into a corner of the ring where i pounced, kicking her over and over again. She tried to get away from me by rolling out of the ring but i went after her throwing her into the metal steps. I could barely hear the ref yelling at me to stop but i couldn't, I got her into a suplex and i could feel her struggling when suddenly i was lifted off her by a pair of strong arms

"GET OFF ME"

i screamed as i struggled and fought against whoever it was that was holding me.

"MIA STOP"

It was Roman, he lifted me over the barrier never letting go as he climbed over and lead me back through the crowd. My anger was dissolving but was being replaced by hurt. Hurt over Randy and AJ and hurt over Roman. By the time we got to our changing room i was about to burst.

"Mia what the hell was that?"

Roman growled as he finally let me go. Thats when the dam broke and my tears began to fall. I rounded on him and pushed him back

"Screw you Roman. Don't touch me"

I screamed as i stormed over to my bag. I needed to get away from him asap.

"what the hell is going on?"

Seth finally cut in, him and Dean were both staring at me obviously puzzled by my behaviour and hostility towards Roman. I didn't want to speak to any of them, my emotions were so messed up i was afraid of saying something i'd later regret. I contemplated heading back to the hotel but then i remembered we were leaving for the next town from here, we had been given a new bus to travel on as a team so i couldn't leave.

"Look Seth just drop it okay, I was just a little worked up"

Seth gave an unconvinced look but after looking at my pleading eyes he seemed to give in and came over to hug me. I let him pull me into his arms trying my hardest not to shed any more tears, he did make me feel better but i could still feel Romans eyes burning a hole in my head. After Seth finally let go i grabbed my bag and headed towards the showers. I managed to get my emotions in check as i stood under the stream of hot water and i decided i had to speak to Roman. To settle things with him, either he hears me out and we make up or he shuts me down and i let him go. I couldn't put up with any more of the hurting 

"Mia come on, Stephanie wants us to go meet some fans"

I could hear Seth shouting at me so i got out and got ready, throwing on some faux leather leggings, a crop top and jacket and a pair of heels i quickly brushed my hair out and put on a little make up. I had to keep up appearances after all. I met the guys and grabbed my suitcase and belt before following them to the bus to drop our stuff off. I could see Roman in the corner of my eye staring at me but i wouldn't look in his direction, i just wanted to go meet some fans then get on the road.
