Ava's POV
"You guys cannot be serious." I argued.
"Ava, you have to wear the heels no matter how loud you complain." Nikki said shoving them in my hands.
"Why can't I just wear flats?" I groaned.
"Wear it. Or I will make you." Reby said sternly.
I huffed and sat down. I stared at the Louis Vuitton heels that Nikki had given me.
"Can I--"
"WEAR IT!" Reby and Nikki shouted.
I pouted then hesitantly slipped them on. I stood up and walked around, trying to get used to the feeling of wearing these god damn heels. Tonight I was wearing a black laced skater dress, with of course those heels.
"See," Reby pointed out, "You look really nice in those."
"Yeah!" Nikki agreed. "You should wear heels more often."
My eyes widened and I ran (tried) out of the room. There is no way in hell that I would be wearing heels. Promos and Authority stuff are the only exceptions.
I waited at the Gorilla Position. Randy had a match tonight against Dean. Stephanie and Hunter pretty much forced me to be his valet.
"You look nice." Randy commented as he walked over to me.
"Thanks." I mumbled looking away.
"Hey, thanks for accompanying me tonight." He smiled.
"It wasn't my choice." I said.
"Still." Randy shrugged,"But just to make things clear, you have my back, I'll have yours."
Randy's music hit and he walked out as I followed close behind.
This match is scheduled for one fall, introducing first from St.Louis, Missouri, being accompanied by Ava Lee, Randy Orton!
The crowd boo'ed louder once they saw me. I focused my attention to the ring, and kept my eyes narrowed.
"Oh look at this!" JBL commented, "They're getting along so well."
I stayed at ringside as Randy did his signature pose up on the turnbuckle.
After a couple of more seconds, Randy's music died down and was replaced with The Shield's music.

"Look who's joining us this evening. Miss Ava Lee." Michael said as I walked over.
JBL handed me a headset and I gladly took it from him.
"Hello, gentlemen." I greeted as I sat next to JBL.
"Welcome to commentary,Ava." Jerry greeted.
"Thank you Jerry. I'm glad to be here." I said.
Dean jumped over the barricade, not making any eye contact with me. I casually ignored it. Seth and Roman followed as they also jumped over the barricade. They both gave Dean a fist bump then walked over the commentary table.
"Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns will also be joining us." Michael said. Seth and Roman picked up a headset and sat down next to Jerry.
"Good evening, lady and gentlemen." Seth said.
The bell rung and Dean did not hesitate to attack Randy right away.
"Dean Ambrose getting to work on Orton fairly quickly." Michael commented .
"He tends to do that when he's mad." Seth stated.
"But he'll take his time too," Roman added.
"How and why are you two friends with Dean Ambrose? He's an absolute lunatic!" JBL questioned.
Dean was taking full control in this match. Randy was struggling to get up as Dean tightened the headlock he had.
"Why haven't you been inducted to the Hall of Fame? Why did Kim Kardashian dye her hair blonde? Why did Ava turn her back on us? There are a lot of questions in life that do not have answers." Seth said.
I stiffened up when he mentioned my betrayal.
When are they going to understand? I thought.
"Yeah, Ava. Why did you turn your back on your friends?" Michael asked.
"I thought I already cleared the air when I explained my self last Monday ." I stated.
"I don't think any of us thought that was a good explanation." Roman spoke.
"So, you better start explaining now. Why did you do it?" Seth questioned.
I scoffed and rolled my eyes. "I don't have to answer that when I already explained everything."
"Do you ever regret those actions?" Jerry asked.
"At times." I mumbled.
Dean was about to elbow drop Randy from the top rope, but Randy had instinctively rolled out of the ring.
"Can you guys stop asking these stupid questions. Ava made her decision. It's done. Get over it." JBL defended.
"Come on Randy. Get back in there." I taunted and pointed towards the ring.
"Don't tell me what to do." He spat.
Just as he turned around, Dean knocked Randy down from a suicide dive.
I rolled my eyes. "I warned him."
"Aren't you two supposed to be Authority friends?" Michael questioned.
I shrugged. "I have my fun."
Dean whipped Randy back into the ring and got right back on in attacking him. Randy pushed him off but Dean used the ropes to give Randy a huge clotheline.
"What a clothesline!" Jerry exclaimed.
Dean set Randy up for Dirty Deeds, then hit it perfectly.
"There you go Dean." Roman said.
"Okay, I'm done." I said taking off the headset.
"Where are you going?" Seth asked.
"I think we all can agree who the winner of this match is." I said then walked away.
"Was she talking about Dean Ambrose?" JBL questioned.
Dean pinned Randy and just as I thought, he used the ropes for support.
"The ropes! Ambrose got the ropes!" Michael exclaimed.
I rolled my eyes and shoved his feet off. The ref broke the count and noticed his feet then started yelling at him. Dean looked at me with shock. I just shrugged and pointed behind him. He turned around only to receive a RKO by Randy.
"RKO by Orton!" Jerry said.
Randy looked at me then at Dean.
I shrugged. "I got your back, you have mine!"
"Come on this isn't fair." Seth complained.
Randy got the three count and hid music played. Seth and Roman got up from their seats and went straight into the ring. They both surrounded Randy, glaring at him.
I nade my way to where he was standing then grabbed his feet, pulling him out of the ring.
"Smart move by Ava." Micahel muttered.
We walked up the ramp then disappeared backstage.
"Thanks for saving me. I didn't really think you would live up to that." Randy said.
I shrugged. "We're Authority members, right? Always got to have eachother's backs."
I continued. " But seriously, you got to look out for yourself once in a while. When Seth and Roman got inside the ring, your first priority should be to get out. Not stay in. You're way bigger than me so it's sort of a struggle to pull you out."
He chuckled, "Right. Sorry, I forgot about that. Well I'll see you later. Thanks again."
We went our seperate ways. I made my way to catering to grab a water bottle.
"Hey, Ava." Nikki greeted.
"Great teamwork out there with Orton." Reby commented.
"I never thought you would do that." Nikki added.
"Got to have your partner's back right?" I clarified.
They chuckled. "Right. We'll meet you at the hotel, later."
"Okay. See ya." I waved then they walked away.
As I was walking towards the Diva's Locker room, I passed by The Shield's locker room. I decided to do some eavesdropping. I opened the door a slight bit. Everyone was there-- Dean, Roman, Seth, Leighla, Isa, and Aj.
"Dean, you've been staring at that box for a few days now." Roman spoke.
"You're kinda creeping us out." Seth added.
"What is in there anyways?" Isa asked curiously.
"Nothing." He muttered. I looked closely at the box Dean was holding. I sighed when I noticed that it was the box that had my necklace in it.
"Nothing?" Isa clarified in disbelief. "There's got to be something in there."
"Yeah," Leighla agreed. "I mean, why else would you be so attached to it?"
Aj and Dean sort of exchanged glances. Then Aj gave Dean a slight nod.
"Take a look for yourself." Dean said and handed the box to Roman.
I watched as Roman opened up the box. Everyone else was staring at him, waiting for his response. Roman sighed and took my necklace out and placed it on the palm of his hand.
Leighla gasped in surprise. "What...."
"Are you serious?" Isa said.
"Dean," Seth said, "Are you okay?" He shrugged.
"When? When were you planning this?" Roman asked.
Planning this? Wait what? What's going on? I thought. I looked closely at the object that was now in Dean's hand. He held it in a different position. That's when I noticed that it wasn't my necklace. In fact, it wasn't a necklace at all.
"After Wrestlemania." Dean replied. "I knew that she was going to win. I knew that we were going to win. I wanted to give this to her when we were going to celebrate later that night."
My heart shattered into tiny little pieces. No wonder AJ slapped me. Not only was she upset about me turning my back on them, she was upset because of what Dean was going to do after Wrestlemania.
No, don't jump to conclusions Ava. I thought.
"Come on, I think you need some fresh air." Seth said standing up. Dean sighed and set the box down on the bench.
I quickly hid behind a crate and waited for all of them to get out.
Leighla, Isa, Seth, Roman, and Dean. I counted as they piled out. Just as they were out of sight, I rushed into the locker room and picked up the box that was sitting on the bench. I slowly opened it up and sighed. I shut my eyes as tears were starting to form. I'm so stupid. I stared deeply at the item inlaid inside the box.
I picked up the ring.
Dean was going to propose.
