Charlie's Hero

I froze in the ring. He looked back at me. Smiling.

Tamina looked confused, but didn't want to ruin the show. She took advantage by knocking me down. She dragged me by my hair and did a superfly splash on me.

1....2....3

She won.

And I lost my second televised match.

I quickly made my way backstage, not caring about anything, but getting far away from Brian.

I breathed heavily in frustration.

"Charlie?"

I turned around to see AJ and Tamina coming towards me.

"Hey, what happened out there?" AJ asked.

"I saw him." I said.

"You're gonna have to give us a little bit more information, C." Tamina said.

"Brian." I said quickly. My eyes were wide in shock for seeing him for the first time in over a year. "I saw Brian."

With that said, I ran What was I gonna do? He was gonna follow me around until I lost it. I suddenly didn't feel safe anymore. That is until I felt strong, protective arms wrap around me from behind.

"Dean?" I asked.

"What's wrong sweetheart?" He asked.

"Um...." I hesitated.

Do I tell him? Do I just keep it to myself and make up some excuse? I didn't want Dean worrying every second.

"I just......I feel kinda light headed." I said.

"In the ring.....you looked surprised. What's up?" He asked.

Great. How was I gonna get out of this one? I guess I had to tell the truth.

"I may or may not have seen Brian sitting in the crowd." I said.

Dean's fists instantly clenched. "What? Where?"

"Dean, calm down." I said.

"Which one was he?" He asked.

"Don't do anything stupid, Dean." I said, trying desperately to calm him down.

He couldn't stay still. He started pacing in the middle of the hallway and rubbing his hand roughly against his shoulder.

"Which one?" He asked again.

"Dean, stop!" I said.

"DAMNIT CHARLIE, WHICH ONE WAS HE?" He yelled.

I jumped in surprise. His eyes instantly softened when he must've noticed the scared expression on my face.

"Sorry I snapped. Just tell me which one he was before I lose my mind." He said.

I took out my phone and opened the WWE app to see the uploaded pictures from my match. Luckily, Brian was captured in one of my pictures. I showed it to Dean and he took a nice, long look at it before he nodded.

"Got it!" He said.

"Please Dean. Don't do something you're gonna regret." I begged.

"Oh trust me baby, I won't regret anything." Dean said.

He pecked my cheek and walked away.

The hell? I could definitely see something going wrong tonight.
