The Choices We Make (Sequel to Blank Space)

Chapter 5: Forgetting Death

Dean's p.o.v.

I wake up two hours later. It's 7:00 a.m exactly. I turn around and see Ana in deep sleep. I smile and stand up. I run my eyes and head to the bathroom. I splash water in my face and dry it off. I head back to the room and find her awake, but facing the other way. I sat down next to her.

"Hey." I greeted wrapping my arms around her.

"Hey, mornin'." she manages to say.

"You feeling okay?" I ask.

"Yea. Perfectly fine." she said starring at the ground.

I sigh and stand up.

"Want to head out somewhere." I asked.

"That's in fact what I need right now." she said standing up.

She looked for her purse and found it. We headed off and got in someone's car I didn't know.

"Whose car is this?" I asked.

"Long story." she said.

We entered and drove to a nearby Ihop. We ordered our place and got to our seats. We sat down and didn't talk for a while. We ordered our breakfast and talked for a while, but nothing important. I realized that was Raw, and I had a match against Seth. Now that I remember, it's a title match. I can't believe I forgot.

"Hey Ana.." I blurted out.

"Yea?" She said looking up.

"Well tonight I have a title match, and I haven't practiced much lately, so would you like to practice with me?" I asked.

She let out a weak laugh.

"Me? Wrestle with you? I might as well get crushed right now." she joked.

I chuckled.

"I'll go easy on you." I said smiling.

"You promise?" She said twirling the straw in her drink.

"Yes I promise." I said taking my money out.

"Now let's leave before I regret it." she said laughing.

I left the money on the table and left out running.

After about twenty-five minutes later, we arrived at the performance center, where I met up with Roman, and Randy. Roman and Randy were wrestling together, so Ana and I wrestled a little.

"Man I'm tired." she said panting.

"I'm gonna go with some other divas, I'll meet you back here in twenty." she said jogging off into another room.

Ana's p.o.v.

I jogged off into another room and met up with Brianna and Trinity. (Brie and Naomi)

Brianna looked at me like if she just saw a ghost.

"Trin.. do you see what I see." she said backing off a bit.

"Uh-huh" Trinity said backing up with Brianna.

Oh crap I forgot to tell them I was alive, I've been to busy with what's been going on with Jackie.

"Guys.. I'm.. I'm alive." I said trying not to make a scene.

"Yeah we can tell." Brianna said putting herself behind Naomi.

"Are you guys mad at me?"

"Well let me think about it one of my closest friends has been pretending to be dead while she was alive." she said trying to calm herself down.

I stayed silent. I felt so guilty, but I didn't want to talk about it. I left and went into the room that Dean was in with Roman and Randy. I sat down on one of the benches. I might as well text everybody that I'm alive. I texted my friends, except my mom. The last time I ever heard of her was when I left for my dream. She hasn't talked to me ever since I was 18. I went by Dean, which was sitting on another bench a couple yards away from me.

"I feel so guilty." I said laying my head on his shoulder.

"Why? What's wrong?" I said facing me.

"Well I forgot to tell everybody that I'm actually alive so now it's a huge shock for them." I said as guilt filled up my throat.

"Aw, Ana cheer up. Its not your fault that Jackie has been ruining our lives, and now is making you feel guilty. Just with a little time they'll get over it." he said calmly.

I nodded, as he kissed my forehead. I smiled, and kissed his cheek.

"Can we leave now?" I asked.

"Sure." he said wrapping his arm around my neck as we left.
