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."

Someone Special

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?"

Someone Special

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!"

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.

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.

Someone Special

Chapter Thirty One

The Shield had been beat down by The New Day, Luke and Erick. They all took a beating, but Roman took most of the punishment, but he still refused medical attention. When he woke up he realized that they had Melody and despite being in pain he got up and made his way to the backstage area leaving Dean and Seth behind. It wasn't the best idea to take off alone, but he didn't care. The only thing he cared about was finding Melody before something happened to her. The last time Bray had Melody not only did he kiss her, but he also hit her and threatened to burn her. Roman tried not to think about what Bray could do to her, but as each second went by the more worried he got. Dean and Seth came backstage and saw Roman freaking out. Roman was beyond angry at this point, it seemed like there was nothing he could to keep Bray away from Melody. He started flipping tables and throwing things. Dean and Seth came up to him and tried to calm him down.

"Roman Bro calm down!"

"Don't tell me to calm down Dean, you know it only pisses me off more! Every time... Every Fucking time Melody is here Bray finds a way to take her from me... He always manages to do something to get to her, then he does something either physical, or mental to her. Either way she is never the same... She ended up getting hurt, she's supposed to feel safe with me, but I can't even protect her. What the Hell am I supposed to do?!"

Seth looked over at Dean.

"We let our Lunatic think of something... We'll fight crazy with crazy just like last time."

"Yeah... Leave it to me Roman... This time I don't think we're going to get in his head so this time we're bringing out the big guns. We're going to find them and kick their asses."

They were interrupted when one of the tvs backstage cut to Bray in his promo location. They turned their attention to the screen and saw Luke and Erick sitting in chairs and at first Bray had his back turned to the camera. He wasn't in his normal promo location. He was in what looked like a basement area. There was a fireplace area and it looked like he was trying to heat up some kind of metal. Bray turned around and showed everyone what he had in his hand. It was a branding iron, something some farmers used to mark their livestock. He started speaking.

"Luke, Erick... I think you know why you're here. To prove your loyalty to me, and to be called my brothers you must receive the mark of brotherhood... The mark of family."

This branding iron just happened to in the shape of a buzzard, the same symbol on Bray's fedora. Luke and Erick were quiet and stayed still. The Shield thought for sure that Luke and Erick would object to this but were surprised and watched in horror as Erick went through with it. As the branding iron made contact with his skin he closed his eyes balled his hands into a fist and did everything he could not to cry out in pain. Once the metal was removed everyone could see the buzzard symbol almost like a tattoo on Erick's forehead. It was a permanent reminder that Erick was a brother to Bray. Bray smiled at this and then looked to Luke and Melody. Melody was now awake and aware of what was going on. She could smell the burning flesh from Erick's forehead. Her mouth was taped so no one really heard her scream, but everyone could see the look of terror on her face. Bray spoke again.

"I'm so proud of you Erick. You have shown me great loyalty by taking the mark of family. You are my brother. I had to do this a symbol. I mark what is mine. Melody... My Beloved, beautiful, dear sweet Melody. Soon you will have this mark and then everyone will know who you really belong to... You belong to me. You're mine. Patience Melody... First I need to reheat this and mark our other brother."

Luke had his left arm ready for this as Bray went to reheat the branding iron. After The Shield witnessed Erick follow through with it they realized that they needed to find Melody before Bray. Dean picked up something and handed it to Seth and then picked up something for himself before he handed something to Roman. Roman noticed that Seth had a chair, Dean had a kendo stick and he was holding out ba chair and kendo stick to Roman.

"Here... What's your weapon of choice? Seth prefers a chair and I prefer a kendo stick. I have a chair and kendo stick for you if you want both."

"I don't need that. My weapon of choice is my hands and feet. Bray thinks he's going to mark Melody as his... Oh Hell No! I'm going to mark Bray when I stick my foot up his ass!"

They finally found out where Bray was and started making their way there. Meanwhile everyone was watching in the audience Bray was making his way to Luke.

"Luke... It's time."

Luke rolled up his left sleeve eager for the mark.

"Do it."

Bray smiled at this and put the branding iron on Luke's left shoulder. Luke only closed his eyes. Erick looked like he was still slightly in pain, but Luke looked stronger and it looked like he wasn't in pain at all. Now the smell of Luke's burning flesh filled the room.

"Another loyal brother. You are strong... You showed no fear and no pain."

He looked over at Melody and smiled. She was terrified. She was tied to a chair, she felt the pain from her broken foot and all the scrapes she had from falling down the stairs. She knew there was no getting out of this, Luke and Erick were just as crazy as Bray and they weren't going to stop him. She was terrified and felt so helpless, she put her head down as tears started streaming down her face. To make matters worse Bray saw this and laughed at this. He put the branding iron down for a minute to reheat it again. He walked over to Melody with a smile on his face tilted her head up and forced her to look at him. He got down on his knees so that he was eye level with her, he moved some of the hair out of her face.

"Aw... Don't worry Melody, it will only hurt a little. I can see it... You're crying tears of joy for me. You can't for the mark... A permanent reminder that you belong to me."

Bray removed the tape from her mouth.

"Your beauty... It amazes me Melody. I couldn't wait another another minute... I just had to feel your lips against mine."

Melody couldn't do anything but continue to cry as Bray kisses her. Once he stopped she could finally say something.

"Please... Stop."

Bray only ignored her and started asking her questions.

"Where have you been these last few months? I've missed seeing you. What have you been doing?"

Melody stayed quiet so Bray pulled her head back by her hair and repeated the question, only this time his voice seemed darker.

"I don't like repeating myself... Answer me!... What have you been doing?"

Melody was quiet for a second, but his grip on her hair only got tighter so she finally answered him.

"Teaching music... At an elementary school."

Bray didn't seem happy about this.

"This will have to change... You're not going to do this anymore... I never really liked teachers... I had a mean teacher that thought that she was better than me, she thought I would never do anything with my life, but now... I can look back and laugh at her because I proved her wrong... So yeah... Melody, this teaching thing your doing, it's going to stop... Right now. I guess tomorrow... The little kiddies at your school will have to have someone else teach them."

Suddenly instead of being sad and afraid she became angry.

"This is my life! All you want is control over me. You can try all you want... But you don't own me... You will never own me! You call me your beloved... If I'm your beloved like you claim, wouldn't you want me to be happy? Why won't you let me go?... I don't love you, and I never will."

Bray only slaps her in the face to get her to be quiet and put the tape back on her mouth.

"You don't mean that... You're just confused... You've been with Roman too long. You know you love me, why would you lie and say that you don't or never will? You already love me and you always will. Why are you trying to deny how you feel? It is our destiny to be together forever, and once I mark you as mine... We will be together forever."

Bray went back to the branding iron and Melody had that feeling of terror and helplessness return. Bray looked at the branding iron and wanted it to heat up for at least another minute. This was a mistake because suddenly the door is kicked down and The Shield charged at The Wyatts. Roman grabbed Bray and threw him up against a wall and beat him down while Dean and Seth got a little bit of payback on Luke and Erick by attacking them with the kendo stick and chair. After about a minute The Wyatts were all on the ground. Roman beat Bray and ripped the shirt off his back. He noticed the buzzard mark on Erick's head and on Luke's arm. He didn't have the chance to mark Melody, Roman still felt like he needed to release some steam. He had Bray's back exposed and he grabbed the branding iron. He could hear the reaction from the WWE universe. Roman pressed it on Bray's back and Bray let out a shout of pain. Roman watched as the smoke from the branding iron cleared. He then noticed the buzzard symbol quickly change from red to black. He threw the branding iron on the the ground and stormed off away from Bray. He seemed to calm down when he noticed Melody. He went over and took the tape off her mouth and untied her. He helped her up and noticed that she couldn't stand so he put a hand behind her back and another hand behind her knees and carried her out of the room. Seth looked back to make sure The Wyatts didn't follow them and then he left with Roman. Dean stayed back and started laughing at Bray.

"What's the matter Bray? Luke and Erick didn't scream in pain... Those guys are tougher than you are. It hurt like hell didn't it? Maybe that will teach you not to mess with The Shield's girls. You marked Luke and Erick. It looks kind of cool on Luke, but Erick, you look like an idiot. Just think... You have to live with that mark forever now. Bray you tried to mark Melody, but instead Roman marked you as his Bitch!"

Dean smirked at them and finally left the room. Bray was still rolling around on the ground in pain. Dean just added insult to injury. It worked because Bray decided then that he was going to stop going after Melody. He didn't think she was worth the pain and humiliation. He realized that the original Abigail left him and wasn't going to come back. He also realized that he would never get an Abigail replacement out of any of The Shield's girls. Finally after this beating and humiliation he decided to look for someone else to be his Abigail replacement. The Shield took Melody to a WWE doctor and the doctor didn't have to do much of anything since Bray took care of stitching her up, but he couldn't do anything about Melody's broken ankle and foot. He told them she would have to get a cast for her foot and that she would probably have a hard time walking for a while after it came off. Roman felt guilty, if Melody wasn't here, this wouldn't have happened. Dean and Seth were ready to go and they grabbed their stuff. Dean had to grab Roman's stuff since Roman had to carry Melody to the car. Seth decided to drive and Dean sat in the front in the passenger seat. Roman wrapped his arms around her and Melody leaned on Roman's shoulder like a pillow. They hadn't said much since he found her. Melody tilted her head up to look at him and finally broke the silence.

"Roman?"

"Yes Melody?"

"Are you ok?"

"I'm fine... I'm not hurting that bad anymore... I was worried about you. I saw you fall down the stairs. I feel like this happens way too much, I'm always having to apologize to you for what Bray did. I don't think you imagined your night like this."

"You shouldn't blame yourself... You guys were attacked by The Wyatts and The New Day. You guys were out numbered. You can't blame yourself for this. You showed up when it mattered, you stopped Bray from hurting me. I'm just glad you decided to show up to save me... I would have thought that you would get tired of saving me. That's what you've been doing ever since we met. I've lost count on how many times you've had to save me... No matter how hard I try... I can't seem to stay out of trouble."

Seth interrupted them.

"You're Lois Lane."

"What?"

"Well some people call Roman Superman... You keep getting into trouble, Lois Lane always gets into trouble and Superman always has to save her."

"Yeah, but Superman doesn't mind saving people."

Roman gently started rubbing her shouldered.

"You think I would stop saving you?"

"Well... I get tired of getting in trouble, I would think you would get tired of saving me."

"I don't mind. I'm not going to stop saving you and I'm not going to get tired of it. I'm not going to get tired of you... I want you in my life. Do you remember when you were in the hospital the first week we met?"

"Yeah..."

"Do you remember me telling you that I would be a friend to talk to, or a shoulder to cry on, or a body guard that would protect you?"

"I think I do remember that... But I don't remember you saying anything that day about being my boyfriend."

Melody looked up at him and smiled at him, he smiled back at her.

"No I didn't say that... We had to work our way up to that, but I do remember saying that I would be whatever you wanted me to be."

Roman kissed Melody's head and she blushed.

"Oh yeah... You did say that."

Melody got her cast and was on her way home. She was sad because she knew Roman would have to leave in a few days. They would still be in Florida for a show in Miami, but after that it would be a while before she would see him again. They would have to go back to video chatting. Melody said that she still wanted to go to school the next day.

"Are you sure you want to go to school tomorrow? It's late and you've been through a lot. You can take one day off."

"I could, but this is what I've always wanted... I've always wanted a job teaching music. I'm still going tomorrow."

"Ok... But after tonight you probably don't want to go to Miami tomorrow do you?"

"Yes I do... If I don't then I won't get to see you before you have to leave."

Dean interrupted them.

"Oh I don't think Bray will be a problem."

"How do you know?"

"Mel... I think you forgot that I'm crazier than Bray... Bray is not going to be a problem... Sometimes you just know these things."

Melody was going to stay at Roman's house as long as he was in Pensacola. She still wouldn't feel right staying at his house if he wasn't there. When they finally got to Roman's house he had to carry her to his room. They could finally talk alone, Melody had something on her mind.

"Roman... Could we talk?"

"Sure, what's on your mind?"

"It feels like you just got here and after tomorrow, you'll be gone again. It always feels like our time together flys by while our time apart seems so long. Video chatting is nice, but I miss your touch, your kiss. It's still hard for me to go to sleep sometimes, especially on Mondays, Thursdays, and pay per view Sundays. I have to hold onto the bear you got me to go to sleep."

"I have a hard time going to sleep too... I always have to hold onto a pillow and imagine it as you. It's not the same."

"What I mean is it really sucks when you're not here and I can't kiss you or have you hold me."

"I'm here now... We should fix that."

Melody smiled at this and let him hold her in his arms as they kissed. They shared a few kisses for a few minutes until something came to Roman's mind.

"Melody... I know this may seem random, but I wanted to ask you something."

"Ok."

"One thing you haven't talked about is kids... You're a teacher, but have you ever thought about having kids of your own?"

Melody was quiet for a moment, she didn't think Roman would ask her that.

"I have thought about it, but I've always been afraid for a number of reasons."

"Why?"

"I guess the first thing I would be afraid of is childbirth itself... It would be very painful... I guess for the same reason why I was afraid of falling in love. I don't want to end up heart broken. Then I would be afraid of ending up like my mom I guess... I don't want to end up bitter and alone, a single parent, or growing up with kids that hate me."

"If you had kids, they wouldn't hate you, you're great with kids from what I saw on your birthday. Those kids love you, if you had kids of your own, you would be fun to be around... You would make a great mom Melody, your kids would love you."

Melody smiled at this.

"You really think so?"

"I know you would... If you had the choice, would ever want to have kids of your own?"

"Yeah... I think I would at some point... A boy or girl wouldn't matter to me, but I would want to wait a while before I even think about having kids... I'm still trying to figure out my own life. How can I take care of a kid if I can't even take care of myself?"

"Moms tend to find a way to do things... You are taking care of yourself if you really think about it, you have your own place... Even though you can stay here... And you have a job. You're doing great on your own."

"Well... What about Roman? What would you think about having kids of your own? You seem to have fun sometimes with kids in the crowds."

"I would love to have kids of my own. If I had a boy I would teach him how to play football and how to wrestle, but most of all he would have manners and respect women. If I had a girl I would protect her, she would be a daddy's girl, but I would want her to grow up as beautiful as her mom. Then of course when she hits that certain age, I may have to kick a few boys asses if they don't respect her or break her crowd. But yeah... Someday down the line I would love to have kids of my own."

"Aw... You would make a great dad Roman."

"I don't know about that... I look up to my dad, but I won't ever be like him no matter how hard I try."

"It's ok... You don't have to be like him... There's no such thing as perfect parents, and I learned that there is no such thing as a perfect relationship, people make mistakes, but if the relationship is strong enough it will last. The problem these days with marriages is that couple fight over the silliest things. They're so busy working trying to take care of their families and they end up stressed and forget the most important part of a relationship... Communication."

"I agree."

Melody looked over at the clock and realized that it was one in the morning.

"Oh wow... It's one in the morning. I have to get up at seven."

"Ok... Sorry I've been keeping you awake."

"It's ok, I've went to bed later than this. I'm glad we had time to talk."

"Me too."

"I don't think I'm have any trouble sleeping tonight with you here."

"Me either."

Roman held her in his arms and kissed her again.

"I love you Melody."

Melody lay her head on his chest as a pillow and smiled at him.

"I love you too Roman."

After about thirty minutes they were both sleeping happily and peacefully. Melody used Roman's chest as a pillow and listened to his heart as she fell asleep. Roman held her close to protect her and fell asleep smelling her favorite green apple shampoo, his favorite thing to fall asleep to.

Someone Special

Chapter Thirty Two

The next day Melody woke earlier than normal because of the pain she felt in her broken foot. She was still going to go to school because this is the job she's always wanted and she wasn't going to let a broken foot stop her from doing her dream job. The kids would probably ask her what happened, she didn't have to tell them everything that happened. When Roman woke up he wanted to help her.

"Good morning Melody."

"Good morning Roman."

"How are you feeling?"

"Well... My foot hurts like hell, but other than that I'm fine. How about you?"

"I'm fine... So you said you wanted to go to school today and the Miami show later."

"Yeah I'm still going to school. You guys took care of Bray so I think I'll be ok to come."

"So... The doctor gave you a cast and crutches..."

"Yeah, I've actually never broke a bone before so I'm going to have to get used to getting around with crutches. I tried it out last night, it's like hopping around on one foot, It hurt having to put all my weight on the crutches, all of the pressure went to my foot."

"I could get you a wheelchair to use. Some of my family members had medical problems and had to use a wheelchair, they don't need it anymore. I still have it if you want to use it, I think it would be a little easier on you. Would you like to use that instead?"

Melody smiled and put the crutches away.

"Yes, please."

Roman smiled at her and kissed her head.

"Ok, I'll go get it."

Roman had a storage building and after five minutes he had the wheelchair out. Since it was in his storage building he had to clean all of the dirt and spider webs off it. Once it was all cleaned off he helped Melody up and helped her into the wheel chair. There was a foot petal that could be adjusted so she could prop her foot up. Roman had a few extra pillows so he gave her one to support her back. Roman had to move her foot so he could adjust the foot petal so she could prop her foot up to take some of the pressure off of it. There was just enough room for a small pillow for her foot. He put the pillow up and knew that he had to be careful with her broken foot.

"There... How is that Melody."

Melody felt the softness of the pillows and smiled at him.

"Better... Thank you Roman."

"No problem."

Melody got ready for the day and once she was ready Roman took her to the school and even pushed her wheelchair into the classroom. They were still early so Stephanie wasn't there yet. Once they got to the classroom Roman stood behind Melody and started rubbing her shoulders. She leaned her back against him and tilted her head back so she could look up at him. Her smile met his and he crouched down and kissed her forehead.

"Thank you for your help Roman, you've really made this a lot easier on me."

"Good, I'm glad I was able to help."

Their moment was interrupted when a few kids came into the room. Sometimes kids would come in before the bell rang.

"Well I guess it's time to start the day."

"Ok... I guess I'll go then. I'll be back at the end of the day to pick you up."

"Ok... I love you."

"I love you too."

They share a quick kiss before he left. There were three kids in the room, one boy and two girls. They were about nine so they were in third grade, the boy made a face and said ew while the two girls giggled. Once Roman left one of the girls came up to her and started asking.

"Good morning Ms. Melody... What happened to your foot?"

"I had a little accident... I fell down a bunch of stairs and ended up breaking it, but that doesn't mean that I wasn't going to show up."

"Oh... I'm sorry. I hope your foot gets better soon."

"Thank you, me too. Once I get my cast off it will probably take me a while to get used to walking again."

"So Ms. Melody, are you married? Was that your husband?"

Melody only smiled.

"No... He's not my husband. I'm not married."

"So, he's your boyfriend."

"Yes."

"He seems really nice... Do you want him to marry you and do you want to be a mom someday?"

Melody smiled at the thought of being married to him and being a mom.

"Yeah maybe someday..."

---

Later once the day started it seemed like one student asked her what happened to her foot. It warmed her heart that the kids were concerned about her and wanted her to get better soon. A few kids actually knew because they were WWE fans and saw her with Roman on tv. They wanted to know if she was ok. Roman was right, these kids did love her, it made her think twice about having kids, maybe she would make a good mom. Once the day was over, Roman picked her up like he promised and they went to Miami for Smackdown. There were no incidents with Bray and other than a few people recognizing her there were no problems. Roman and Melody were both sad when he had to leave again, Roman wanted to be there for her, especially since she was hurt. Once he left it was back to video chatting.

Three months went by and Melody was up and moving again, she was back in her apartment when Roman was gone. Video chatting was nice but she missed him holding her and kissing her. Before Melody took the teaching job they were close, almost inseparable. Even though they video chatted they would always say how much they miss each other. You would have thought that time apart would mess up their relationship, but that wasn't the case in their relationship. If they were together all the time, there could have been moments that they needed their space, but since they were far apart and they were longing to be together, the time apart was actually a good thing and strengthened their relationship even more. Everything seemed to be going very well for Melody at the school, it was December and Roman would be home in a few weeks for Christmas.

Once Melody was used to Pensacola she decided to join a church. She would need someone to talk to while Roman was on the road. She made a few friends within the church, when she got comfortable around them she told them her story. She was still fairly new to Pensacola, but the people didn't judge her for working at a bar. This was all part of Melody's past and they had all done things they wish they hadn't done. They understood Melody's situation and welcomed her into the church with open arms. Life for Melody seemed to be going great, but all of that was about to change...

Melody didn't exactly live on a safe part of town, it didn't happen a lot, but recently there were more crimes. Most of the reports were for break-ins, but Melody heard something in the news about a woman being raped and murdered not far from where she lived. There was a neighborhood watch and people were told to call the police, there was a man on the run. They were told to watch out for a middle aged man that was overweight, over six foot tall, a scar under his right eye, a tattoo of a gun on his left shoulder, and a tattoo of the devil on his right arm. This guy was running around Melody's neighborhood because he was looking for somewhere to hide from the police, but he was also looking for his next victim. Someone called the police because they recognized him and now he was running because he heard police sirens somewhere near him. He was looking around the apartments, most of them were married couples with kids who had strong looking dads that would fight him off.

Finally he looked into a window and saw Melody laying on her couch watching tv, he didn't know if there was a guy in the apartment with her, but he knew he had to hide before the police showed up. Melody had actually fallen asleep while watching tv so she was startled when she heard a loud banging noise. She turned the lamp on and got up to see who was at the door. She was in the middle of the hallway when the guy kicked her door in before quickly locking it. Melody took one look at the guy and realized that it was the guy the police were after. She quickly ran to the kitchen and grabbed a frying pan, she held it up and was ready to use it.

"Get out of my apartment!"

They were actually a good distance away, this was what she wanted, but he started making his way over to her.

"Get away from me! Don't touch me! I swear I'll hit you with this!"

The guy then pulled out a gun, he didn't have any bullets, but he wanted her to cooperate so he had to make her think he was going to shoot her. He also had a pocketknife so he was ready to use that if necessary. Melody saw his gun and knew that things were not going to end well. She thought about throwing the frying pan at him, but guns were quicker, and what if she missed? She still held the frying pan in front of her, but her knees were shaking. The man finally spoke to her.

"Put it down right now or I'll blow your brains out."

Melody was slow to move, but put the pan down on the table. She started backing up to try to get away from him but he kept the gun pointed at her.

"You don't seem to get it... If you run, I'll kill you... I don't want to do that...You're a fine looking piece of meat... If you try to run or scream I'll kill you right now. I have to hide from the police, but I'd like to have fun while doing it."

The man kept his gun pointed at Melody with one hand and unbuckled his belt with his other hand.

"Alright girl, lets see that body of yours."

Melody kept backing away from him.

"No... Get away from me! The cops are on their way!"

She didn't know this for sure, but she hoped they were on their way.

"Look girl, either I can shoot you now, or I can have my way with you then shoot you. Either way... I'm going to kill you."

Melody was terrified and decided to run. He locked the front door so maybe she could make it to the back door before he shot her. Melody took off running, but he wasn't far behind. He didn't shoot her like she thought, he dropped the gun and she realized that the gun was empty. He must have known that she was going to run because he caught her and pushed her on the floor. He grabbed her and started beating her. She started screaming and crying, this only seemed to excite him more as she struggled against him. He hit her a few times in the face, then wrapped his hands around her neck and started choking her, this was to get her to stop struggling. He wanted her to know what was going on, he let her go for a minute so he could take his pants off. This allowed her enough time to get some air but she couldn't move because he was on top of her again.

He kept her quiet for a minute by kissing her. She kept struggling, crying and screaming, but he only held her down and ripped off her pants and shirt. Then he started touching her body, her crying and screaming was getting on his nerves so he hit her in the face, grabbed her neck and then put a knife against her neck.

"I will slice your fucking neck open right now if you don't shut the hell up!"

Melody stopped screaming, it would be pointless, and she knew there was no use in struggling so she gave up. He was going to kill her once he had his way with her. He still had the knife against her neck as he was getting ready to remove the rest of her clothes. She closed her eyes but the tears kept flowing, she didn't want to see what happened next. Right before anything else happened a bunch of cops kicked her back door open, saw the guy on top of her and shot the guy in the head killing him instantly. The knife dropped out of his hands and onto the floor. Melody screamed, his now dead body was lying on top of her. She thanked God that the cops showed up when they did, but they killed the guy right in front of her. His blood splattered all over her face. These cops didn't even try to arrest this guy, they must of had orders to shoot to kill. She pushed the dead body off of her and tried to cover herself, she was still scared and embarrassed. One of the officers came up to her.

"Are you ok Ma'am? Do you need to go to the hospital?"

"N...No."

"What's your name?"

"Melody... Melody Shores."

"Well Melody I'm glad we got here when we did, some of the other women haven't been so lucky."

"How did you find me?"

"Well we were in the neighborhood because someone called and said that they saw him and then there were reports of screaming so it wasn't too hard from there. I need you to come with me to the police station so the rest of the guys can investigate. The is now a crime scene. You can stay at the police station for the night, you'll be safe there."

"Ok... But can I go change first?"

"Of course."

---

Melody went into her room to change. She was still in shock so her knees were shaking, came out and saw the other cops taking away the dead body. She went with one of the cops to the police station and he started talking to her again.

"I know this must really have you shook up, is there anyone you can talk to or have come to calm you down. It's times like this that you need family and friends to support you. Do you have anyone to talk to?"

"Yes."

She didn't know if she wanted Roman to know yet so she decided to call a few of her new friends from church. She told then where she was and that she would explain when they got there. When they got there and she told them what happened, they gave her a comforting hug. She decided to call her mom. She knew something was wrong because of the shakiness in her voice.

"Mom..."

"Melody, what's wrong?"

"I really needed someone to talk to."

"What's going on? Did your boyfriend break up with you?"

"No, but he's not here."

"What's wrong, why are you upset?"

"Because... I was almost raped again."

"What?!"

"I was in my apartment and this guy broke in and attacked me. I'm glad the cops showed up when they did, the guy didn't rape me, but that was because they killed him... The killed him right in front of me... It freaked me out."

"Well where was your boyfriend, he should've been there for you to stop this from happening."

"It's not his fault, Roman doesn't know about it yet... I haven't told him. He's a wrestler, he travels with WWE, it's very important to him... I can't expect him to come running to me every time something goes wrong... I'll just have to deal with this on my own."

"You don't have to... Do you want me to come see you?"

"No... It's a long drive, I just wanted to call you and let you know what happened and that I'm ok."

"Ok, thanks for letting me know, but I think Roman deserves to know too since he is your boyfriend... I think he has a right to know what goes on in your life, he would want to know that you're ok."

"You're right... I should tell him."

"Ok, I'll let you go so you can tell him, take care of yourself Melody... I love you."

"I love you too mom."

"Bye."

"Bye."

Melody hung up the phone. She thought Roman was busy so she decided to send him a text message.

"Please call me when you can... It's urgent." - Melody.

Roman actually wasn't really busy so he saw Melody's message and could respond back fairly quick. Melody was surprised to see him responding back so fast. There was a video chat request from him so she had to pull herself together. She was still a mess mentally and emotionally. It seemed like everything else she's been through didn't compare to this because she thought that all this was behind her, she thought she was safe. She accepted the video request but didn't look directly at the screen, she knew she had bruises on her neck and face, she didn't want him to see her like this. He didn't know what it was yet, but he knew something was wrong because usually she would look at him with a look of excitement in her eyes, but this time she didn't even look at him. Maybe she didn't know he was on the screen yet so he said something to her.

"Melody, can you hear me?"

She didn't look up, but she answered him.

"Yes I can hear you."

"What's going on? I got your message, you told me to call you and that it was urgent."

Melody knew that she was going to break down and she put her hand up to her face and wiped away the tears that had already begun to fall. Now Roman could tell that she was crying and got really concerned.

"Melody, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"

Melody finally looked up to face him and he saw the marks on her neck and face.

"I almost got raped again Roman... A guy broke into my apartment and attacked me. I was saved by a bunch of cops, I'm glad they showed up, but they killed the guy right in front of me... His blood got on me, but I've never seen anyone killed in real life before. I'm just... Really freaked out right now... I thought I was safe, I thought all of this was behind me."

Roman was shocked.

"I... I don't even know what to say right now... I'm so sorry. This shouldn't have happened. So the guy is dead... Did he rape you?"

"The guy is dead... He would have raped me if the cops didn't show up when they did. I just wanted to let you know what happened and that I'm ok... Physically anyway. I just have a few bruises, I didn't have to go the hospital. I just don't know what to do... I don't know if I'll ever be safe."

"Where are you right now?"

"At a police station... I don't want to go back to my apartment, they said I could stay here for the night, they said I would be safe here."

Melody was also slightly out of her want to be independent phase, she had a job and was making money.

"Do you still have the spare key that I gave you to my house?"

"Yes, but I wouldn't have felt right staying at your house without you there. Are you sure it's ok for me to stay there?"

"Yes... That's why I gave you a spare key... I wanted you to stay at my house, your my girlfriend... I want you in my life, I want you safe. You would be safe in my house. My home is your home. There are cops in the neighborhood, my neighborhood, we look out for each other. I know you want t do things on your own, but I don't want you going back to that apartment. I have to know that you're safe... Will you please stay at my house?"

Melody wiped away the last bit of her tears, it warmed her heart that Roman would really want her to stay at his house.

"Ok..."

"Good."

"Thank you Roman... I just really needed to talk to you and let you know what happened, and to let you know that I'm ok. I'll let you go now."

"Ok... Are you sure you're ok?"

"Yeah..."

Roman could tell that she really wasn't but let her go anyway.

"Ok... Take care of yourself Melody... I love you... So much. I'll see you soon ok?"

"Ok... I love you too Roman."

"Bye."

"Bye."

Melody ended the video chat. She talked to the police officer and told him that she would be moving. She asked him if he would take her back to her apartment to get her stuff. The police officer felt bad for her so he agreed to take her back. Once Melody was there, she new it was really late, she decided to write a letter to the person that rented her the apartment and put in money for this month's rent, thanked the person for letting her stay there and said in the letter that she would be moving out. She put this in an envelope and put it in the mailbox where she knew they would get it. There was police tape around her apartment, but she was told that she could go in to get her stuff since it wasn't much. The police officer was nice enough to wait for her and even help her with her stuff when she got to Roman's house. She got the key out of her pocket, took a breath and unlocked the door. She went in and put her things in Roman's room. She really wanted to thank the officer by paying him something, but he wouldn't take her money and told her that he was just doing his job. Melody was really tired, but at the same time she was afraid to go to sleep. She changed into a pair of pajamas, she would unpack things later. Even though she was still scared she knew she needed to get some sleep even though it was a Friday night. She had her eyes closed but couldn't sleep. Suddenly there were noises going on through the house. Roman told her that she should be safe at his house. There were footsteps in the house and Melody started getting scared, stayed quiet and pulled the covers up to her face. She kept her eyes on the door and when she saw it open she screamed and started freaking out. She heard a voice and saw someone turn on the light in the room.

"Easy Babygirl, it's just me."

Melody had been so scared that tears were falling down her face.

"Roman, you're here!"

"Yeah... Once you told me what happened I had to come see you. I got on the fastest plane to Pensacola and got here as fast as I could. I asked you when we video chatted if you were ok. You said you were, but I knew better. Dean and Seth had to stay... Otherwise there would be no show... I told Vince, Stephanie, and Triple H that I had a family emergency and had to leave. I'm going to stay for a few weeks with you until I know for sure that you're ok. I'll be here at least through Christmas."

As Roman was talking he was making his way over to Melody. Once he was done talking he took Melody into his arms to comfort her, she was happy to see him, but she still broke down in his arms. This is why he was here... To love her, protect her and comfort her. After about ten minutes of comforting her she had finally calmed down and they were laying in bed talking to each other.

"I can't believe you're really here... I'm just so much trouble... I know how much WWE means to you... It just seems like every time something happens, you drop everything just to be with me."

"WWE is important... But you... You're my number one priority... Your happiness and safety are what matters to me. You really have no idea... How much I love you Melody."

"This is hard for me to believe... That I would actually find love, and find someone that would love me for who I am and stand by me no matter what. I just feel like if what happened to us was a book or movie other people would be interested in our love story... Something like The Notebook."

Roman smiled at her. They kissed for a few minutes before they both finally fell asleep. Melody finally felt happy and safe and could sleep comfortably now that her Superman was home.

Someone Special

Chapter Thirty Three

Melody didn't know where she was or what was going on. She looked around at her surroundings and noticed that for the most part she was in a building that was mainly dark. She noticed that something was in her hand, a microphone. There were a lot of people shouting things at her, she was in a room full of mostly guys that were whistling at her and yelling inappropriate things at her. Finally it occurred to her that she was at a bar and that she was the entertainment. There was music playing and she did her best to ignore the people around her, but in the middle of one of her songs, there were two guys that were really drunk and got on the stage with her. One of the guys that was there grabbed the microphone from her and threw it somewhere. Melody was confused and just looked at the guy like he was crazy while he started talking to his friend.

"Hey... How about we let her know what we think of her singing. She likes singing... Let's see if she will sing just for us. Hey girl... How about you and my friend here get out of here and we can... Get to know each other if you know what I mean?"

The guy winked at her as he said this. Melody just rolled her eyes and started walking away, but he caught up to her and grabbed her arm.

"Let me go... I'm not interested... I'm a music teacher."

"That's not what we see... Hey Dan, we've got ourselves one of those singing stripper whores."

"I'm not a whore!"

"Then what are you doing here?"

Melody didn't have an answer for this and didn't say anything else. The two guys that were there had her by the arms and started pulling her off the stage.

"Let me go!"

"No way... We're hard working men that pay for good beer and pretty whores to fuck."

One of the guys ripped off her shirt, all of this was happening in public. No one made a move or seemed to care about what was happening, in fact most of the bar was filled with guys that were laughing. Not only was Melody scared and helpless, but she was also embarrassed because people were pointing and laughing at her. Melody noticed that someone had their back turned to her, she saw the tattoo on his arm and recognized it to be Roman. Maybe he didn't know what was going on so she yelled out to Roman.

"Roman!... Help!"

The guys that had her seemed to stop for a minute as Roman turned to look at them. Melody noticed the look of anger that was on his face, anger directed at her for some reason.

"Why? I don't even know you."

Melody was surprised at this.

"Roman it's me Melody! You said you loved me."

It seemed like Roman knew what was going on, but he only seemed to get pissed off at her.

"Save it Melody... I know who you are. You don't love me, you're just a gold digging whore that only wanted me around for your protection. What we had... Meant nothing to me, I can go back to fucking whoever I want without thinking or worrying about you. I don't love you... I never did... It's over Melody."

Roman then got up and left the bar. The guys started tearing off the rest of her clothes and started touching her as Roman walked away. Melody started crying and screaming as she watched Roman storm out of the bar leaving her.

"No!... Please! I love you Roman!... Please! Don't Leave Me!"

Roman turned around one more time to face her and he saw the tears running down her face but he didn't seem to care. There was anger in his voice.

"You brought this upon yourself... You're not my problem anymore... It's over."

Roman left and Melody continued to cry and scream. She was heartbroken... What did she do to deserve this? She cried as the two guys were going to have their way with her in front of everyone. It was humiliating, no one even lifted a finger to help her, the guys had their clothes off. Melody saw that one of them had a knife and held it against her neck. She closed her eyes and continued to cry and scream. She heard a familiar voice calling out to her and felt arms around her.

"Melody!... Melody!"

Melody cried and screamed as she opened her eyes. She was so scared and upset that she was shaking. A big pair of arms wrapped around her as she cried and screamed.

"Melody I'm here! Everything is going to be alright!"

Tears ran down Melody's face as she opened her eyes and looked around recognizing where she was. She was at Roman's house, in his bed. There was a lamp on and she realized that he was there holding her in his arms. It was all a really bad nightmare, but it all seemed too real to Melody. As she thought back to the nightmare she cried harder and held onto Roman. He held her in his arms and noticed how upset she was, he started rubbing her back and kissed her forehead.

"Shh... It's ok Melody... I'm here."

He had to hold her for a few minutes to calm her down. As he held her she had her head against his chest and she listened to the beating of his heart to calm down. She wasn't shaking anymore and had calmed down for the most part. She finally looked up at Roman, he could see that she was still upset and started wiping away the tears that were rolling down her cheeks.

"This must have been a real serious bad dream, it had you crying, screaming, and shaking."

"It... It wasn't just a bad dream... It was a nightmare... It seemed so real."

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"No... Not right now... Could we please just talk about it later?"

"Sure... No problem"

"Could you... Just hold me for a while?"

"You don't have to ask Babygirl. I love holding you in my arms."

Melody didn't say anything else, she was still upset and needed Roman now more than ever. Roman noticed how clingy Melody was being. He loved that she was getting close to him, but he hated seeing her so unhappy. She could have just been upset from her nightmare, but with her being so clingy it led him to believe that he was in her dream. She didn't want to talk about it at the moment so Roman decided he would ask her when she felt better, now was not the time. She wasn't crying anymore but she still held onto him, she had her head against his chest listening to his heart beat. It calmed her down listening to Roman's heart beat and being able to hold each other. He rubbed her back and shoulders and every so often he would plant kisses on her head. She somehow managed to calm down and go back to sleep. Roman felt her breathing slow down and he looked down at her and noticed that she had her eyes closed. She was asleep, it looked like Melody was sleeping a lot better now. Roman was almost sure he saw a small smile on her lips. It was moments like this, holding Melody while she slept that were so precious to him.

He was glad that she was happy with her teaching job, but he missed holding her every night and kissing her. It just seemed like things kept happening to her. He wasn't there for her when she really needed him. He felt guilty because he wasn't around to protect her. He wanted to hang onto Melody because he was afraid of losing her. He was off for a few weeks now and would get to be with her through Christmas. It was four in the morning and Roman wasn't surprised that Melody woke up screaming, she had almost been raped again and he scared her when he came in. Even though she told him that she would be ok he knew better and wanted to get to her as soon as he could. He didn't call her because he wanted to surprise her when he got home. He didn't expect the reaction that he got, after her reaction he felt bad about scaring her. After what happened, she could have just been thinking about it and was just re-living it through a nightmare.

Even though he couldn't always be around he was glad that Melody finally decided to stay at his house. There were police officers that lived in his neighborhood and the neighbors looked after each other, Melody would be safe here. This would be something to talk about when Melody wanted to talk about it. Roman had decided to stay awake until she fell asleep, once he knew she was asleep he kissed her head one more time and kept his arms around her even though his right arm was falling asleep. He didn't care, he only smiled at her and fell asleep holding her. The next time Melody woke up it was nine in the morning, Roman woke up when he felt her moving. Melody didn't move all night so when she woke up she moved her head to look up at him as he looked down at her, their eyes met and Roman gave her a sweet smile and spoke softly to her.

"Hey Babygirl... How are you feeling?"

Melody smiled back at him and answered him.

"A lot better with you here."

"Good, then I guess I'm doing my job."

"I still can't believe you're here, especially with WWE having such a demanding schedule."

"I already told you, I told Vince, Stephanie, and Triple H that I had a family emergency. WWE is important to me, but family is everything. Melody... You are my number one priority, your safety and happiness is what matters to me."

Melody gave him a small smile but she knew that she had to talk to him about her nightmare, communication is the most important part of a relationship. Roman was surprised that she wanted to talk about it so soon, but was glad that she was opening up to him.

"Roman... I need to tell you about my nightmare."

"Right now? Are you sure?"

"Yes... I want to tell you now so I can get it over with."

"Ok, how bad was it?"

"Bad is an understatement... It was hell. I found myself... Back at a bar. These two guys were there, they were drunk and wanted to rape me. Of course it doesn't help that I was almost raped last night, but I don't even know if that was the worst part."

Melody paused for a moment and Roman noticed that she wasn't really looking at him.

"What was the worst part?"

"I don't know if this was the worst part, but it had me pretty upset when I woke up...You were there at the bar... I didn't know what was going on, but for some reason you were pissed off and wanted nothing to do with me... The guys that were trying rape me were doing it in public, it was humiliating, everyone laughed at me and no one helped me, not even you. At first it seemed like you didn't even know me, but then you were pissed off at me and told me that I deserved what was going to happen... You called me a gold digger and a whore...You told me that you could go back to fucking whoever you wanted and told me that I wasn't your problem... You told me that what we had meant nothing, that it was over, and that you never loved me... I don't know what was worse, being raped or watching you walk away not giving a damn about me... I was so heartbroken... I think losing you was worse, but the guys were about to end my misery, they had a knife against my neck. I finally woke up when I heard you calling my name."

Roman wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into a tight hug.

"Is that what it was like when that guy broke into your apartment? Did he really try to kill you?"

"Yes, but the police showed up and killed him."

"Melody... I would never do that to you... I would never say any of that to you, and I definitely wouldn't leave you like that."

"I'm just... So afraid that one day I'm going to wake up and find all this to be a dream... That I would wake up and find myself still working at a bar with guys trying to rape me... I'm afraid that I'm going to wake up with things being bad with my mom again, and that we never met or got together. I just don't want things to go back to the way it was... With me sinking so low that I would try to commit suicide."

"That won't happen... I won't let it, you've come so far. Have you tried committing suicide again?"

"No... I made a promise to Dean because of his sister... He made me promise him no matter how bad things got that I wouldn't try to commit suicide again. I haven't tried it, but that doesn't mean that I haven't thought about it."

Roman gave her a concerned look.

"When did you start thinking that?"

"Just yesterday after the guy was killed... I just thought that all of that was behind me, and the guy just broke into my apartment and started thinking that I would never be safe and that I would never really escape my old life. I told you that I joined a church and that I made a few friends... They stayed with me for a little while yesterday and just talked with me and told me that they would pray for me. I even talked to my mom yesterday. She offered to come and see me, but I told her that it was a long drive. Then of course you show up and surprised me."

"More like almost scared you to death... I really didn't expect for you to freak out the way you did, I wasn't thinking. After all the the things you've been through, why wouldn't you freak out. I guess I need to stop surprising you and let you know when I'm coming."

"No... You don't have to do that. I just need to not be so paranoid."

"So... I know this isn't the only nightmare that you've had."

"It's not, but most of the time I forget what happens... This last one I had was probably the worst I've ever had, but probably because I was still thinking about what happened."

"Well why don't we do something to get your mind off what happened?"

"Like what?"

"Well I know how much you like arcade games, how about we go play some arcade games."

Melody smiled and even smirked at him.

"Oh... You want me to kick your butt at air hockey again."

They loved that fun and competitive side to each other. Roman chuckled a bit and returned the smirk she was giving him.

"You're on! You know we're pretty evenly matched at air hockey."

"Ok... Whatever you say Roman."

Roman could hear her sarcasm.

"You think you're better than me?"

"Maybe... Why don't we go find that out?"

"Ok we will then."

It was the winter months, the middle of December and there wasn't as many people out by the beach and arcade as there was during the summer months. It was warmer in the arcade area than it was out in the open air. Just because they were in Florida didn't mean that it wasn't cold like everywhere else during the winter months. The first thing they did was play a few rounds of air hockey. Melody won two games and Roman won one game. Roman had to admit, Melody did have bragging rights as far as air hockey went, most of the time when they played it Melody won. Melody was having fun already and didn't think about what happened the day before at all. She wasn't thinking about anything about her past and she had no concern or worry about the future. She was just enjoying the here and now. After Melody beat Roman the second time in air hockey she could tell that he was frustrated. She laughed and went over to him.

"Hey... Don't be mad, I told you I was going to kick your butt at air hockey."

"I'm not mad, I just can't believe you beat me again."

Melody thought of something and laughed while saying it.

"Believe That!"

Roman rolled his eyes.

"Really Melody? You're real cute... You're a comedian now?"

"I thought it was pretty funny."

Roman still had a frustrated look on his face.

"It's ok Roman, it's just a game, you don't have to take it so serious."

Roman actually then cracked a smile and started laughing.

"Gotcha."

Melody rolled her eyes.

"Real cute Roman... I do like seeing your reaction when I beat you though... Your eyes get all big and you stick out your bottom lip and get all pouty, it's hilarious and kind of cute."

"Cute? Oh you're going to get it now!"

Melody could tell that he was just playing around but ran away from him anyway and made him chase after her. He caught up to her, grabbed her from behind and started tickling her down her sides. Melody laughed really hard and had the biggest smile on her face. He smiled to himself happy that he could make her smile and laugh and make her forget about everything else. He finally let her go when she laughed and begged for him to let her go. Melody looked to her left and saw a photo booth. She smiled and grabbed Roman's hand and started dragging him over to it. They had never really had any pictures together so it was time to change that. When they got in the photo booth they found it to be crowded, especially since Roman was so big and muscular. They paid the money hand had four quick pictures done. Even though it was cramped in there they had more privacy behind the curtain. They were both still in a playful mood, especially Melody. They both made funny faces for the first two pictures. They had a few seconds in between pictures to do a different pose. After the second picture, Roman put his hand up and cupped her face and started moving even closer to her. The third picture showed them coming close for a kiss and the last picture actually showed them kissing. A special effect was added to the pictures, on the last two, the words I love you showed up at the bottom. It really was a romantic moment, they got to share this moment together alone without anyone bothering them. One kiss wasn't enough, the pictures were done, but they had to have at least one more kiss and enjoy the moment. When it ended Melody gave Roman a hug.

"Thank you Roman... I've had so much fun today, and I'm so glad I got to spend this time with you."

"You're welcome Melody, I'm glad you had fun today and there is no one else that I'd rather share this moment with."

Someone Special

Chapter Thirty Four

Once Melody and Roman were done with the arcade games they started thinking about how they were going to spend Christmas. This was their first Christmas together and they wanted it to be special. If they were always together, how would they surprise each other?

"Roman?"

"Yes Melody?"

"I'm really glad that you're here with me, and I hope this doesn't upset you, but would you mind if I went shopping with a few of my friends from church?"

"It's not going to upset me, go have fun with your friends...Just be careful ok?"

"I will."

"You have my number, if you need me just give me a call."

"Ok."

Melody called one of her friends from the church and a few minutes later there was a car pulling up in Roman's driveway. Roman watched Melody leave and stood in the doorway to get a look at the people she was leaving with. He was relieved when he saw that there were two women in the car, he wouldn't have to worry about any guys trying to make a move on her. He trusted Melody, but if there was a guy around Melody that he hadn't met he wouldn't be as comfortable letting Melody go. He was glad that she made a few friends that could hang out with her. Now this was the perfect time for Roman to find a present for Melody. Before Melody left she gave Roman a kiss and a quick hug. When she got in the car she looked and saw Roman still standing in his doorway. She smiled at him and waved, he smiled and waved back at her. Knowing most women he was sure that Melody would be gone for at least two hours. In the car one of her friends got a good look at Roman.

"So, that's your boyfriend Roman?"

Melody smiled and responded back.

"Yes, that's Roman."

"You haven't told us much about him... You didn't tell us he was hot."

Her other friend spoke up.

"Ok he is good looking, but look how big and muscular he looks. Does he treat you alright?"

"Yes, he's always been so sweet. We've had our ups and downs, but what relationship doesn't? He's never forced me into doing anything something I didn't want to do, and he's always been very protective of me. He's actually the first boyfriend I've ever had, I never wanted a boyfriend, but he was just so sweet to me, I changed my mind. I never thought I would ever give love a chance, but he makes me feel loved, he makes me feel things I've never felt before. I don't always get to see him. He travels a lot with WWE... That's a wrestling company, he does sometimes have a hard time with his anger, but I try to be there to calm him down."

"Aw... Melody, you two seem so perfect for each other. Has he hinted about maybe wanting to marry you?"

"Well I'm not sure... You girls know I teach music, he says that I'm great with kids and asked me if I ever wanted kids of my own. I think I would at some point, but I would be worried about taking care of them on my own if something went wrong. I don't want to end up being heartbroken, being a single mom trying to raise a bunch of kids and hope they don't hate me."

"Melody, you've got to have faith. You're capable of more than you think, but sometimes you just have to let go and let God take control. He has a plan for you, he knows what's best for you."

"You're right... As far as Roman and I go, we haven't been together for a year yet. It's probably too early to be thinking about marriage."

"But could you imagine spending your life with him?"

"Yes... He's just made me happier than I've ever been, he's shown me what love is."

"I'm happy for you, I hope things work out for both of you."

---

Melody and her friends got to the mall. It seemed like they didn't have that much of a hard time shopping for their husbands, but Melody had absolutely no idea of what to get Roman. What kind of a gift would a guy like? This is a question many women had to face, women are easy for men to shop for, but women usually had a hard time trying to find something that men would like. Finally Melody thought of something, she wanted to make sure that whatever she she got him that it would be something that he would always use. What she found could be useful for a man or a woman, you could never go wrong with technology. She found a Bluetooth and Wireless speaker for his phone. He would be able to share his music with everyone else, the speaker would make his music louder and more people would enjoy it, but it was also good for if you try to call someone, it would make it easier to hear a conversation. Melody had been saving money for a while, which was a good thing because it ended up being a little over one hundred dollars. She even had Roman's gift wrapped up before she left. Melody and her friends ended up being at the mall for two hours trying on clothes and looking around at things. Roman had been out and did what he needed to do, but barely got home before Melody did so he had to hide her gift and quickly turned on the tv to a game and pretended to watch. He enjoyed watching Georgia Tech football, when Melody came in she actually had a few bags. She had Roman's present wrapped at the mall, but while she was there she also bought a few things for herself. She kept Roman's present hidden with the rest of her stuff. She came back into the living room with Roman.

"Hey Roman, I'm back."

"Hey Melody. Did you have fun?"

"Yeah, it's nice to have a shopping day with friends."

"What all did you get?"

"A few new outfits, a pair of shoes. You know... Girl stuff."

Roman smiled at her and pat the spot on the couch wanting her to sit down with him. He wasn't sure if Melody knew he went anywhere, but he hoped she wouldn't catch on. He only got home a few minutes before she did and had to act quick. He was happy when she sat down with him.

"So you've been watching football the whole time I was gone?"

"No not the whole time, I just found this game and wanted to watch. I played football at Georgia Tech so I'm watching to support my team. We've got a pretty big lead, I'm not really worried about them losing. Do you want to watch something else?"

"We don't have to, we can finish watching the game."

Melody was sitting near him, but Roman motioned for her to get closer. She did and smiled when he took her in his arms. He smiled back at her, pushed the guide button on the remote and went to the movie channels, and then handed her the remote.

"Here... Find us a movie."

Melody took the remote and looked through the channels and found one of her favorite movies. The movie Just like Heaven was getting ready to come on. Melody and Roman had been together since May, but only started dating in June. Roman was her first boyfriend, but just because she never had a boyfriend before didn't mean that she didn't enjoy romance movies. The movie Just like Heaven was about a nurse that was too busy with work to worry about romance. When she is set up on a blind date she ends up getting into a life threatening car accident that left her in a coma. Her spirit is still in her apartment and a guy moves into her apartment. Once he finds out that her spirit is still lingering he does everything he can to try to get her to move on, but she doesn't think that she is really dead. Overtime they actually bond and they find out that she was in a coma on life support. They find out that they were supposed to meet on the blind date. When she is taken off life support her "ghost" disappears and she wakes up from her coma, but has no memory of anything and doesn't remember him. Later on she is at her apartment and the guy is there to return the spare key from when he lived there and then they touched her memory came back and they ended up together.

Two weeks later Melody's mom and brother, and Roman's family came over for Christmas. They exchanged gifts, and ate holiday treats and just enjoyed being together. Roman and Melody decided to give each other their gifts once everyone left. It was late on Christmas night when Roman and Melody could finally exchange gifts. They could have done this earlier, but they wanted it to be extra special since this was their first Christmas together.

"Ok... Now that everyone is gone we can finally exchange gifts."

Melody had Roman's present, but was slightly nervous because she was afraid that he wouldn't like it, but handed him his present anyway.

"I really hope you like your present Roman... Shopping for a man is so hard... My friend gave me an idea for something a man or woman would like... I'm hoping that it's something you don't already have, and I hope it's something that you would use."

"That doesn't really give me an idea of what it would be, but it's the thought that counts Melody."

Roman rips through the paper and smiles at her when he saw what it was.

"It's a speaker for music on my phone. I've been wanting one of these."

Roman gives her a hug and kissed her.

"Thank you Melody. I can share my music with Dean and Seth, this is something that I'll use all the time. I just hope you'll like what I got you."

Roman had a bag for her, reached in and handed her a card. He wanted her to open the card first. She smiled and looked at the card. She looked at the inside of the card and read the message he wrote. This wasn't the first time he gave her a card with a written note in it. He did it when they got into a bad fight, and he also did it for her birthday. The card was just for looks on the outside. On the inside there wasn't enough room so there was a piece of paper folded up for her to read instead. She loved his hand written messages, she smiled as she read his message.

"Melody, from the moment we met, those first few weeks we were getting to know each other were very important to me. We've had our ups and downs like every relationship, but we've always came out of it together and stronger than ever. I gave you the space you needed and I was so happy when you finally agreed to be my girlfriend, you gave me a chance and made me your first boyfriend. We don't always get to physically be together, but we still stay together and communicate through technology. Of course nothing can beat actually being with you, to hold you, or kiss you. I already told you that my neighbors look out for each other, but I took it a step further and asked one of my neighbors to watch over you while I was gone. You already know who it is, you already hang out with her. I feel like even though we're not always physically together, our relationship keeps getting stronger. I've made many mistakes in the past, moving from one person to the next overnight. I guess I can say that you're my first REAL relationship. I'm not the same man I was three years ago, or even a month ago. You're really someone special to me, you've changed me so much for the better. I feel things with you that I've never felt for anyone else. I felt a big relief when you finally decided to stay at my house. My home is yours... You like doing things on your own, and I'm proud of you for finding a job you wanted and can make your own money, but before all of that you were so unsure about a lot of things, and you still may be. Not once have I ever thought you were taking advantage of me, you were always worried about me buying things. It never bothered me, I was always happy to buy you things. You make your own money and can buy what you want, but that doesn't mean that I don't want to buy you things. When you were wondering where you were going to live I wanted you to come with me, but you felt like a burden. You have never been a burden and you never will be. I mean this when I say this... My home is YOURS. Time flies... It's already Christmas season. It's our first Christmas together... And hopefully we'll get to spend many more together. Merry Christmas Babygirl, I love you so much." - Roman

Melody was so touched that she had tears falling from her eyes. Roman noticed this and took her in his arms.

"Melody... What's wrong?"

Melody wiped away her tears and hugged him.

"It's just... I don't think I've ever had anyone care about me or love me as much as you do... And I never thought I could be so in love with you Roman."

Roman handed her the bag. She finally pulled herself together and looked in the bag. She smiled and saw that Roman had bought her a Christmas themed teddy bear, it was a teddy bear in a Santa suit.

"Aw... Cute."

"That's not it Melody... Santa Bear brought you a gift too. You need to really look under his beard."

Roman smiled as she did this and watched her reaction. She looked through the beard and felt something like a chain, when she finally moved the beard out of the way and saw what it was her mouth fell wide open in shock. It was a gold necklace. More specifically, it was a gold heart shaped locket with the words Always & Forever on it. Melody felt around for the hook to take it off the bear. She looked at it and then looked at Roman.

"Oh Roman... It's beautiful."

"A beautiful locket necklace for my beautiful girlfriend... Here, let me put it on."

Roman came up behind her, she held up her hair as he brought it around her neck and fastened the hook.

"Turn around, lets see it."

Melody turned around and smiled at him. He looked at the necklace and then at her.

"Beautiful."

Melody literally jumped into his arms and kissed his lips.

"Thank you Roman for this beautiful locket necklace, I can put two of the pictures we had done a few weeks ago in here... I love it, and I love you Roman."

"I'm glad you like it Melody. I love you too."

"I'm always going to wear this, that way when you're on the road I'll always have a piece of you with me."

Melody hugged him and kissed him again. Things seemed so perfect, but what they didn't know was that they were about to hit trouble in paradise... (Kofi Kingston reference I know lol.)

Someone Special

Chapter Thirty Five

The last few weeks Melody and Roman spent together were enough for Melody to calm down and get used to living at Roman's house. She didn't care so much about staying there. She wouldn't feel like a burden if she had a job and money to pay for things. She thought back to the message Roman wrote her around Christmas and smiled. He told her that she had never been a burden and that she never would be. He wanted her to stay at his house and said that his house was hers. The time came for Roman to leave, he felt better about leaving Melody since he asked his neighbor to watch over Melody. Melody talked to his neighbor and actually started to become friends with her. Safety wasn't an issue, but leaving was still hard on both of them. Melody had two of the pictures from when they were in the photo booth. One of the pictures she had was of them just goofing off, and the other picture was of them kissing. Three more months went by, it was late March. Melody had been busy with teaching, and Roman had been training and working out even more than usual, it was Wrestlemania season so Roman was also very busy with interviews, live appearances and with fan meet and was almost time for spring break, that would be a least a week or two out of school. Now that she thought about it, she would always have a piece of him with her because she lived at his house. She never messed with any of his stuff, but would look at pictures of him and his family that he had hanging up around his had come to love the students at the school and they loved her and loved learning about music. The students had learned about different instruments. She would have the kids beat on the drums, taught the older kids how to play a recorder and even the piano. The younger kids mainly just enjoyed singing and dancing.

Melody taught them the number of beats notes had, and what certain words meant in terms of how fast or slow to go or how loud or soft to play. She loved teaching, and seeing the kids be excited about learning. Music class was a class that a lot of the kids looked forward to. A few of the kids even told Melody that they wanted to be like her. This made Melody feel special, it meant a lot to her to know that a lot of the kids loved her and looked up to her. She felt the strongest connection with the Kindergarten through Third grade. Her bond with a lot of the kids made it seem like they were a big family. She began thinking about Dean and Seth, they were like brothers to her, her family seemed to be getting bigger and bigger. Melody's mom and brother had moved to Pensacola to get closer to Melody. Their relationship between the three of them strengthened and they would see each other at least once a last time Melody talked to Roman was after Raw, it was now Thursday, it had been three days since they spoke, she knew he was very busy, but she really missed him. She told him before he left that she would wear the locket necklace so that she would have a piece of him with her while he was on the road. It was lunchtime, Melody loved her students and they loved her. She loved her family, but she still really missed Roman. She wore her heart shaped locket necklace everyday, she was just listening to all of the noise in the lunchroom, but she looked down at the words Always & Forever. She opened the locket and looked at the two pictures inside. She held the locket up to her mouth and kissed it. She closed her eyes to try to tune out the noise, closed the locket and held it up to her heart and said something to herself.

"We'll be together soon Roman."

Melody was startled when one of her students came up to her, she still had her eyes closed.

"Ms. Melody, why are you sleeping?"

"Oh... Jamie you scared me. I wasn't sleeping."

"What were you doing?"

"I was just thinking about someone I love... I don't always get to see him. He bought me this heart shaped locket necklace so that whenever I really miss him I can open it up and look at a few pictures of us."

"A picture is in there? Can I see?"

"Sure."

Melody opened up the locket and showed Jamie the pictures of her and Roman.

"Ew... Kissing is gross."

"Maybe you think that now, but in a few years you probably won't."

"Are you married Ms. Melody?"

"No... This is my boyfriend, Roman."

"Do you want him to marry you?"

Melody smiled and though about him.

"Maybe someday. It won't be anytime soon. I don't always see him because he travels a lot? If he does eve ask me, it will probably be a few years from now."

The bell rang for the next class.

"Oh, there's the bell Jamie, we better get to class."

---

When Melody got home later that day she was excited when Roman requested a video chat, she instantly accepted his request with a big smile on her face.

"Hey beautiful, how was your day?"

"Great! The kids were really well behaved today, they learned a lot and had fun doing it. A lot of them told me that music class was their favorite class of the day. A few have even said that they want to be like me when they grow up, they look up to me, we're kind of like a big family."

"They love you Melody, you're not like some teachers, you actually care about them and put your heart and soul into your work."

"I love them to... So Stephanie, the main music teacher has kind of stepped back and let me take over. She's impressed with how I work. She can't always get the kids to have fun while learning so she kind of let me take over."

"Awesome! See, I told you that you would be the best teacher that school has ever had."

Melody smiled and blushed while holding her head down, but Roman saw her blush anyway.

"I see you blushing... That's so cute... You're so beautiful Melody... You're still wearing the necklace I got you I see."

"Of course. I wear it everyday. I can always take a part of you with me wherever I go... So how was your day Roman? You look really tired."

"I am tired, but I had a good day, it's even better now that I get to talk to you. So if I remember correctly, I think you said something about having your spring break around the same time as Wrestlemania."

"Yeah, it's around the same time."

"Ok... How would you like to watch all of the matches and hang out with The Shield backstage?"

"I would love that! I've never seen Wrestlemania, I've always wanted to see it live!"

"Well congratulations, here in two weeks you'll get to."

"I'm excited already, I can't wait to see you... These two weeks can't come fast enough."

"I'm excited too, I can't wait to spend Wrestlemania with you, but until then I guess I'll have to video chat with you tomorrow. You look tired and you have to get up early tomorrow so I guess I'll let you go then."

"Ok, you should get some rest too."

"I will. I love you Melody."

"I love you too Roman."

"Bye."

"Bye."

Once the video chat ended Melody was still excited, those two weeks couldn't pass by fast enough.

---

Finally the two weeks went by and it was the day of Wrestlemania. The Shield were still together, but they had been doing singles matches. It just so happened that all three members of The Shield had singles matches for Wrestlemania. Seth was facing Kevin Owens, Dean was facing Randy Orton, and Roman was challenging John Cena for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Melody was really excited about all of these matches, but especially for Roman's match against John Cena. Roman had been improving so much in the ring and he had been working so hard. John Cena actually picked Roman to be his opponent because he wanted a challenge and thought that Roman was the most deserving out of everyone else. Seth had the first match of the night. Melody would have thought that with Seth going up against Kevin Owens that Seth would get an easy win, but Kevin gave Seth everything he had. It was a very back and forth match and the Wrestlemania was clearly behind both men. Finally Seth did end up getting the win because of his quickness and because he outsmarted him. They didn't call Seth The Architect for nothing. Everyone seemed to enjoy Seth and Kevin, they were just the opening match, there was more to follow. Melody congratulated Seth when he got backstage and gave him a hug. Around the middle of the night it was Dean's turn for his match against Randy Orton. The build up between Dean and Randy had become very personal and this is probably one of the matches that the WWE universe was looking forward to. Randy had more experience and he could be crazy, but there wasn't really anyone as crazy and unpredictable as Dean. The match was very physical, Dean was in a lot of pain in his knee and Randy made that his target. Even though Dean was in a lot of pain he out crazied Randy and hit him with Dirty Deeds when he least expected it and got the pinfall victory. Dean limped backstage and tried his best to ignore the pain. When Melody saw him she gave him a hug and congratulated him.

"Hey Dean! Great job out there, congrats on the win."

"Thanks..."

Melody watched as Dean tried to shake away the pain from his knee.

"It was a very physical match, maybe you should go see a doctor."

"Nah... I'll be fine."

"Dean stop being stubborn, you can barely walk. Seth, go get a doctor for him."

Dean rolled his eyes, but didn't argue. A few minutes later a doctor had Dean's knee wrapped up. Another hour goes by and finally it was time for the main event. Dean and Seth stayed with Melody and watched the main event backstage. John Cena is one of the hardest people to beat in WWE, the build up between Roman and Cena wasn't really personal, they had nothing against each other, they busted wanted to see who was the best. This was a hard match for the WWE universe to get behind, there was the Cenation, and then there was The Roman Empire. There were people that didn't like Roman or Cena, but Roman didn't get as much hate like he did at last year's Wrestlemania. It seemed like most of the crowd cheered for Roman over the night in Seth's, Dean's and now Roman's match there was a point where the crowd was chanting This is Awesome. Both men became physically tired and frustrated from all of the nearfalls. Roman hit Cena with a ring apron dropkick, two Superman punches and two Spears. Cena hit Roman with three Attitude Adjustments and Roman into the STF a few times. Roman overpowered Cena and got out of the submission hold. Both men were down trying to think of what they were going to do next. Cena got to his feet first, saw Roman getting up and decided to do the Attitude Adjustment to hopefully end the match. Roman was tired but somehow managed to avoid this Attitude Adjustment and push Cena against. Roman had to dig deep and use all of the energy he had and ran at Cena and hit him as hard as he could with a Spear.

Cena was down and didn't move and Roman didn't move either, it took everything he had just to hit it. The crowd was chanting so loud for Roman to go for the pin. Roman started crawling his way over to Cena. The WWE universe was enough to get him moving. He finally got over to Cena and went for the pin. This time when the ref did the count Cena didn't move and the ref counted to three. Roman was so tired that for a moment he didn't realize what happened. Finally when his music hit and the ref checked on him it dawned on him that he had just won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestlemania. He had so much emotion on his face, the struggle to get this far and the joy of finally reaching the top. He had to drag his body up, Cena was now up, shook Roman's hand and then held his hand up in the air as a sign of respect. Roman made his way to the top of the ramp entrance and listened to most of the WWE universe cheer him. He smiled at everyone and held his WWE World Heavyweight Championship in the air as fireworks went off everywhere. Roman was sore everywhere and physically tired so about after a minut of celebrating, he went backstage where Melody was the first one to congratulate him. All three members of The Shield had won their matches, but she was happy for Roman the most. Roman was surprised when she jumped into his arms and started kissing him. His shock wore off and he kissed her back.

"Congratulations Superman. I'm so proud of you Roman, you killed it out there. You deserve that championship more than anyone."

"Thank you Babygirl, you're my number one fan and I'm so glad you were here to see this and that you enjoyed yourself. I'm glad that you were the first person to congratulate me."

Dean and Seth came up and hugged him.

"Great match out there Roman! Congrats champ!"

"Thanks Seth."

"That crowd was more in favor of you than Cena, if Cena would have won, I think we would of had a lot of upset fans. I know I would have been pissed!"

"Thanks Dean, but there was no way I was letting Cena walk out with that championship."

A lot of other WWE Superstars and Divas and backstage crew came up and congratulated Roman. Vince, Stephanie, and Triple H shook his hand and congratulated him and told him that he would be a fine champion. Then came time for all of the pictures and media interviews. Roman told Melody that she could hang out with Dean and Seth until all of the chaos died down. After about an hour Roman thought that he could finally celebrate vwith Melody and the rest of The Shield until he got a call from his dad.

"Excuse me Melody, I promise we'll celebrate soon, but I really need to take this call, it's my dad."

"It's fine, we're not in that much of a hurry."

Melody was just hanging out with Dean and Seth while Roman went down an empty hallway and answered his phone. What he didn't know was that he wasn't alone, him and Summer Rae had been close friends for a while, but Summer saw him in a different way. She didn't get to congratulate Roman earlier because she was hanging out with some of the other Divas. She had never seen Melody or knew that Roman was dating anyone and thought this was her chance to make her move. Once Roman was done talking on the phone Summer started talking to him.

"Hey Ro!"

"Hey Summer."

"I didn't get to talk to you earlier, but I just wanted to congratulate you on your win."

Summer gave him a hug. Roman didn't think much about this because they had hugged before. Roman was about leave, but Summer didn't let him go, she kept him in the hug. She looked up at him and brought her body close to him.

"Wait... I wanted to really congratulate you."

Roman was confused and shocked when Summer started kissing his lips. He didn't like this at all, she was trying to stick her tongue down his throat. He didn't have time to respond because the next thing he knew, Dean, Seth, and Melody were coming around the corner and Melody saw them kissing. Melody felt confused, hurt, anger, and sadness all at the same time. She didn't have to because Dean said something for her and they stopped kissing.

"Roman! What the Hell?!"

Melody reacted on her own, she didn't say a word. She looked at her necklace as tears started falling down face, took it off and threw it at Roman and then ran the other way. Roman pushed Summer away, Summer left disappointed and right when Roman was going to go after Melody, but Dean stopped him and punched him in the nose. While Dean was busy with Roman, Seth went after Melody.

"Melody calm down."

"Don't tell me to calm down! I just saw him kissing another woman!"

"How do you know she wasn't kissing him?"

"I'm pretty sure I just saw him try to suck her fucking face off! I'm going to go to airport, go home and move out. If he would do something like this in front of me, who knows what he's done behind my back... All of that stuff Roman said about changing his ways because of me... It was all a lie. If he loved me, he wouldn't have done this to me. I'm leaving Seth... I hope Roman has fun with his skinny blonde bitch!"

"You're making a mistake."

"I should have known you and Dean would take his side... Bros before Hoes they say."

"I'm not on anyone's side, I just think you're making a mistake. I know you're hurt by what you saw, but you should at least let him explain himself."

"I'm not going to stand around and listen to him lie to me. I'm leaving... Roman is the champion, he can do what he wants. Tell him I said goodbye. I need time to think. Goodbye Seth..."

Melody got into a taxi and was on her way to the airport. Seth knew that if he tried to stop her that he would only upset her more. Now Seth was pissed off and wanted to give Roman a piece of his mind. Roman had already been punched in the face, while he had to deal with Dean and Seth, Melody was on her way to the airport and she called her mom. Her mom was busy so Melody left a voicemail.

"Mom... It's Melody... When you get the chance will you please call me? I really need to talk to you... I'm moving out of Roman's house... I caught him kissing another woman."

Melody was heartbroken, she loved Roman, how could he do this to her? The taxi cab driver handed her a box of tissues. Even though Melody was afraid of heights she knew that taking an airplane would be the fastest way to get home. The box of tissues came in handy, but she was so upset that she cried until she cried herself to sleep.

Someone Special

Chapter Thirty Six

Melody woke up when a flight attendant came over to her and told her that they had landed. Melody looked at her phone and it was after eight at night. She noticed that she had three missed calls and a voicemail from Roman, and another missed call and voicemail from her mom. Melody was still upset with Roman, she didn't want to talk to him. She decided to call her mom.

"Mom..."

"Melody, what's going on? What's wrong?"

"I'm... really upset mom... I'm moving out of Roman's house... I saw him kissing another woman."

"Oh... I'm so sorry Melody."

"He hurt me... I loved him... I can't believe he would do this to me. Mom...since you I've closer now, could I please stay with you for a few weeks? Long enough so I can find a place of my own?"

Melody didn't think her mom's answer would be yes, but was shocked when it was.

"Yes. You don't have to worry about finding somewhere else to live. John and I would love for you to stay. I'm really sorry about you and Roman... Where are you right now?"

"I'm at the airport. Could you come pick me up and help me get my stuff from Roman's house?"

"Sure. I'll be there in ten minutes."

While Melody was waiting she couldn't help but let the tears flow as she thought about Roman. Her mom got there and hugged her.

"Oh... Melody, I hate seeing you like this. He really broke your heart."

Her brother came up to her and hugged her.

"I guess now we knew why you didn't want a boyfriend, because you would get your heart broken. If I see him again I'm kicking his ass. I'll try to anyway. I don't care how big and bad he thinks he is, no one hurts my sister and gets away with it."

Even though Melody was upset she managed to smile and hug him.

"Thanks John."

Melody, her mom, and her mom got to Roman's house and helped Melody with her stuff.

---

While Melody was dealing her heartbreak, Dean and Seth were giving Roman hell for what he did to her. Seth saw Dean punch Roman in the face. It was hard to tell if Dean or Seth were more pissed off at Roman.

"Roman you Son of a Bitch! How could you do this to Melody?!"

Seth tried to hold Dean back and added in what he wanted to say.

"Give us one good reason why we shouldn't kick your ass right now?!"

Roman felt at his nose from where Dean punched him.

"Because, Summer kissed me!"

Dean wasn't buying it.

"Right... That phone call was just an excuse for you to go meet her, she probably called you and told you where to meet."

"Dean! Shut the hell up! You didn't see what happened so you can't judge me. I swear, Summer kissed me. We've been friends for a while now, but I've known Melody longer. I had no idea she was going to kiss me, and I definitely didn't enjoy it."

"That's not what I saw, I'm pretty sure you were sticking your tongue down her throat and trying to suck her face off."

"You've got this backwards... She was the one that came up to me, she wanted to "congratulate" me for my win. At first she just hugged me, but the next thing I knew, she was trying to stick her tongue down my throat and that was when Melody and you guys came around the corner. This is all a big misunderstanding... Like when I thought Melody had something going on with Bray, but later found out that Bray kissed her."

"Dude, you are so stupid, why would Melody hook up with Bray?"

"I know I was stupid, but I wasn't thinking, I was still hurt."

Seth cut in.

"Well how do you think Melody felt? Even if you didn't mean for it to happen, you broke her heart. I tried to stop her but she was so upset, I knew that if I kept trying to stop her that she would only get more upset so I let her go. She said she needed time to think, she said that if you did this in front of her who knows what you've done behind her back. We know you haven't done anything, we're around you too much for you to do anything, but that kiss with Summer looked pretty convincing that something was going on."

"Well go ask Summer!"

Roman was pissed off at Summer for causing this, at Dean for punching him in the face and at Seth for not stopping Melody from leaving. He was mad at himself for getting caught up in this situation, he's been trying to convince Melody that she made him into a better man, but after what happened with Summer he knew it would be a while before she trusted him. He remembered Melody taking off her necklace and throwing it at him. As Dean and Seth went to look for Summer to get her side of the story Roman reached down at his feet and picked up the necklace. What nobody knew about Roman was that once he and Melody had pictures done together that he always kept two of the pictures in the front pocket of his Shield vest. So in a way he always kept Melody close to his heart. He opened up her locket and looked at the pictures for a moment. Then he closed it and looked at the words Always & Forever. He kissed the locket and hoped that he would be able to fix things with Melody. He put the necklace in his pocket and knew that Melody would be the only one to have his heart. He made sure that no one was around before he let his tears fall. He may have won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, but at the same time may have lost Melody. There were King of the Ring tournaments, but the real king of WWE would be the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Roman had been crowned as champion, but what is a king without his queen? Roman knew that Melody was upset and wouldn't want to talk to him, but thought that he would try to call her anyway. Now he knew how Melody felt when he accused her of doing something that she didn't do. At the same time Melody was feeling the way he did when he thought she kissed Bray, angry, sad, and hurt. Roman didn't know Dean had come back.

"Hey Roman..."

Dean stopped when he noticed Roman start wiping his face.

"Dude were you crying?"

"Shut up..."

"Oh man... You were crying... Over Melody?"

"Yes over Melody!"

"Oh man, we were wrong about you... Any man that cries over a woman... Must really feel something for that woman. You were telling the truth."

"That's what I've been saying... Now because of Summer, I may have lost Melody forever."

About a minute later Seth is coming back with Summer.

"I found Summer, she admitted to kissing you."

Summer was going to say something, but Roman cut her off.

"Ro, I'm so sorry about..."

"Stop! I don't want to hear anything you have to say... Because of you, I probably just lost the love of my life. She's never going to trust me again."

"Ro, please..."

"Don't call me that! I don't care how you felt about me. We were friends for a reason, because I was seeing someone else. I'm not your friend... I don't want you talking to me, I don't want to see you. The best thing you can do is walk away and don't talk to me, don't look at me, or even think about me ever again. You mean NOTHING to me! Walk away, right NOW!"

Summer felt anger and sadness at the same time, she slapped him in the face, turned around and stormed off. Roman actually found humor in this.

"Bye Bitch!"

Dean and Seth smirked at each other and thought the same thing. They started shouting out to her the lyrics to a song making sure she heard.

"Na na na na, Na na na na, Hey Hey Hey, Goodbye."

Summer stopped before she went around a corner, turned around and flipped them off. All three members of The Shield flipped her off, she rolled her eyes and left. It made Roman feel better knowing that Summer would no longer be a problem, but he was still concerned about Melody. It had been a few minutes and Roman tried to call her again, but wasn't surprised when she didn't answer. Roman knew that now that he was WWE World Heavyweight Champion that it would be even harder to have time to be with Melody, he would be lucky if he even got a weekend off.

---

Melody had moved into her mom's house and she was still teaching, but a lot of the kids could tell that something was wrong. It had been two days since Wrestlemania, Roman and the rest of The Shield had been calling her but she ignored their calls. In a way she did want to talk to Dean and Seth, but she thought that maybe Roman was trying to call on their phones so she ignored their calls and messages too. Finally after two weeks, they all stopped trying to call her and message her. One night Melody was at her mom's house, it was almost eleven at night, Melody's brother is a junior in high school and he also liked spring sports, but the games would sometimes end late at night. Melody's mom found this out first, she started getting worried once it got past midnight. His friends would bring him home from games, but one night Melody's mom got a call saying that John had been in an accident and that he died on the way to the hospital. Her mom let out a scream of terror which got Melody's attention. She came out of the room she was staying in and went into the living to see what was going on.

"Mom, what's going on?"

"It's John... He's dead!"

"What?! This... Better not be some kind of joke!"

"It's not... His friend's mom told me that they were run off the road by a drunk driver that was texting. They were in an accident that wasn't their fault... His friend went to the hospital, but John... Died on impact. He was on the passenger side, and that is where the car hit."

"No..."

Melody and her mom were both crying at this point.

"No mom... Please tell me this isn't happening."

Neither of them said a word and hugged each other as they cried for several minutes. Finally Melody's mom spoke up.

"Melody... I know I haven't always been the most loving and... understanding mom, but you're all I have left now. I love you Melody, it times like this that we need to be together the most."

"I know, and I love you too mom. You weren't that bad of a mom... I turned out ok."

"Promise me that no matter what happens, that we won't ever go back to the way things were. You're the only family I have left Melody, it's important that we stay in touch."

"I know... I don't think things will ever be as bad as it was between us. We're different now... We can talk, listen, and understand each other."

Melody had talked to a few of her friends from church, but that didn't seem to help. The next day when she went to school, it was really hard not to break down in front of everyone. What happened with Roman and now with her brother's death was becoming too much for her. Around lunchtime she found somewhere to talk privately. She had her phone out and called Seth, she still wasn't sure if she wanted to talk to Roman, she was sure that they were all busy but she tried to call Seth anyway. Seth wasn't busy anyway, Dean and Roman were in a tag team match together. The matches could happen at different times during the day, not just late at night. Seth looked at his phone and noticed that Melody was calling. They weren't actually doing anything, things usually calmed down after Wrestlemania. Seth answered the phone.

"Hey... Seth... I really need to talk to someone."

"Melody, what's going on?"

"I'm sorry if I've been ignoring yours band Dean's calls, but I thought that maybe Roman has tried calling from your phone."

"He's tried a few times, but finally he thought he would just let you think for a while. He hasn't given up on you."

"I didn't call for Roman... I still don't know if I want to talk to him. Please Seth... Will you keep this between us?"

"Ok, what's wrong... You sound really upset."

"I am... My brother... Died in an accident last night."

"Oh... I'm so sorry Melody... We'll be over as soon as we can."

"We? No... I don't want to see Roman, I don't want to talk to him."

"Ok... What about me and Dean?"

"You know I love you guys like brothers, but wherever you guys go, Roman follows."

"Ok Melody listen! This is getting ridiculous... What happened between Roman and Summer was like what happened between you and Bray... You didn't feel anything for Bray, and Roman doesn't feel anything for Summer. It was all a big setup, Summer thought she could hook up with Roman, but she didn't know you were already with Roman. I know that you're probably still upset over what you saw, but Roman really is a changed man... He has never been with another woman since he met you, you're all that he talks about. Whenever he's not in a match he's all down and depressed... Listen Melody, this breakup or whatever this is has really got to him... You're the Lois Lane to his Superman... He loves you Melody. Dean and I knew this a long time ago."

"He's... Really all depressed because of me?"

"He is... I'm not trying to tell you what to do or anything. If you don't want to be with him fine, but will you at least talk to him?"

"Is... Is he around?"

"He's in a match right now, but are you going to talk to him?"

"I might... Could you tell him that I called?"

"I will."

"Ok... Thanks Seth. I'll talk to you some other time ok?"

"Ok."

"Bye Seth."

"Bye Melody."

Melody hung up the phone and her lunch break was over, the rest of the day went by slow and Melody didn't seemed very focused. She was lost in her thoughts.

"I am still hurting after seeing what I saw, but what if Seth was right? I really should've listened to what Roman had to say. From what Seth said, it sounds like Roman is taking it just as hard if not harder than I am. Maybe I shouldn't have called it quits... I was just so hurt by what I saw, but Roman felt the same way when he thought something was going on between me and Bray. Roman isn't going to want to talk to me... Not after I kept him waiting. He's the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, he going to be even more busy now than he was before. If I hadn't of overreacted... None of this would have happened. I had an amazing relationship going and I ruined it because of my jealousy and because I didn't give him a chance to talk. Trust and Communication are two of the most important things in a relationship and I wasn't doing either one. Maybe I wasn't ready for a relationship, all I do is mess things up, my whole life has been a mistake. Maybe I don't deserve a prince charming... It all seems like a big fairy tale anyway... Here I am a fan of WWE and I end up meeting and getting into a romantic relationship with Roman Reigns... It sounds like something that would only happen in a book or a movie. Not everyone gets their fairy tale happy ending."

"Ms. Melody, are you ok? You don't seem like yourself."

"I'll be fine Jamie... It's just grown up problems, nothing you need to worry about."

Melody had a paper that she was writing on, but she stopped when Jamie and two other kids hugged her.

"We love you Ms. Melody... I hope a hug will make you feel better."

Melody smiled at this and hugged them back.

"I love you too... All of you. Thank you, your hugs did make me feel a little better."

Melody had finally just heard the kids actually said that they loved her and it really warmed her heart when they hugged her. She thought about being a mom someday, she hoped that if she had kids someday that they would love her as much as these kids did. Somehow the kids knew something was wrong and it made her feel good knowing they were concerned about her. She needed to get her life in order so she wouldn't be bringing her problems with her to school. Later on Melody felt like just laying around, but woke up when she heard the doorbell ring. Melody was going to get it, but her mom got it first.

"I got it Melody."

When Melody's mom opened the door and she started glaring when she saw who it was.

"You've got a lot of nerve to show your face here after what you did."

Melody started walking to the door when she heard her mom raise her voice.

"Mom, what's going on? Who's here mom?"

"You've got company Melody."

Her mom moved out of the way. To say that Melody was surprised would be an understatement.

"Roman?"

Someone Special

Chapter Thirty Seven

Melody's mom opened the door and glared when she saw Roman.

"You've got a lot of nerve to show your face here after what you did."

"Please... I just need to see Melody."

Melody only heard her mom and wanted to know who was here and what was going on.

"Mom, what's going on? Who's here?"

Her mom moved out of the way and went into another room.

"You've got company Melody."

Melody went to the door and opened it wider. Roman was the last person she expected to see.

"Roman?"

Roman didn't know how she felt about him being there, but just being there with her was enough to bring happiness to his heart. He gave her a small smile and talked softly to her.

"Hi Melody... May I please come in?"

Melody looked around and didn't see her mom. She really wanted to fix things with Roman. She thought she messed up by leaving and that he wouldn't want to see her again, yet here he was at her door. She doesn't say a word and doesn't look at him, but motioned for him to come in. She closed the door after him, but didn't look at him. She didn't know what to say so she stayed quiet and looked at the floor. He kept his distance from her, as much as he had missed her, he knew that he couldn't jus take her in his arms and kiss her. He knew that out of respect that he needed to give her time and space. Melody had talked to Seth about her brother's death. She had told Seth to let Roman know that she called, but she didn't want Roman to know. Seth told him anyway because he thought Roman deserved to know.

"Melody... Seth doesn't want you to be mad at him... But he told me about your brother."

Melody didn't say anything, but as she started thinking about her brother she put her hand up to her face and tried to fight back the tears, but they fell anyway. It took all of the strength Roman had not to take her in his arms right then and there because she may not have wanted him to. So many times when Melody had been upset, he would hold her and kiss her until she stopped crying, but this time he gave her space.

"I'm so sorry about your brother Melody."

Melody finally said something to him.

"How are you here right now?"

"I had the weekend off, but that doesn't matter... Once I was done with my match, Seth told me what happened and I left as soon as I could... I know you may have mixed feelings about seeing me, but I wanted to be here for you. We haven't seen or talked to each other in two weeks, since Wrestlemania. I wanted to give you the time and space you needed, but I need to know something... Was this time away, or was it meant to be a break up? You moved out and wouldn't return any of my calls or messages. Just tell me... We don't necessarily have to date, we can be friends... The point is I still want you in my life, but if I'm upsetting you by being here and you want me to leave, or if you want to break up let me know. I need to know what you want... Do you want to break up."

Melody was actually happy that he was here, she had been needing him. All of this time apart was hard on both of them and all because she had overreacted. Roman didn't hear anything from her so he thought that Melody didn't want anything to do with him. It was the hardest thing he would have to do, but he was prepared to leave if that was what made her happy, leave and never bother her again if that's what she wanted. He started walking over to the door.

"I guess you have your mind made up... I'm sorry Melody, for everything. I'll walk out that door and never bother you again, but know that I will always love you and I'll never give up on you, or on us.

Roman make his way to the door and twisted the knob, but before it opened all the way Melody ran over to the door, shut it, and blocked him from leaving. She looked at him for the first time since he got there as tears started forming in her eyes, she shook her head and finally ran to him wrapping her arms around him. He wrapped his arms around her and held her close as she finally broke down in his arms. What they didn't know was that Melody's mom had been watching everything that had happened, but she managed to do it without them noticing. Melody did notice that there was something different about Roman, she looked up at him and noticed that he had tears in his eyes too. This is something that she's never seen from him before.

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

"I am... I thought that I lost you forever... These two weeks I haven't seen you or talked to you... It's been hell on me Melody. You left before I could explain that what you saw with me and Summer was not planned. I don't blame you if you don't believe me... I didn't exactly believe you when I thought you kissed Bray... It was stupid of me to think that you would try something with Bray, but I wasn't thinking... I let my emotions take over. I felt the same way that you do now. I felt angry, and hurt at the same time."

Melody held Roman close and said something back.

"This whole thing... It was all my fault. If I hadn't of overreacted the way I did, none of this would have happened."

"It's not your fault... You had every right to yell or cry."

"Well because of my stupid emotions, I made the biggest mistake of walking away from the best thing that had ever happened in my life... These two weeks have been hell on me too. In a way I wanted to call you back and text you, but at the same time I was just so upset over what happened that I just wanted to be left alone to think. Being away from you was hard enough on me, but now with John..."

"I know... You don't have to go though this alone. I'll be here for you... If you want me to be."

Melody actually smiled at him and hugged him.

"This whole thing has been a huge misunderstanding...If I would have known what was going to happen, I would have stopped it from happening. Do you believe me?"

Melody could hear the sincerity in his voice and the truthfulness in his voice.

"I do..."

Roman smiled at her and put his hands on her face and started rubbing her cheeks with his thumbs.

"I'm just sorry for acting the way I did and not calling you back. So when you finally stopped calling, I thought that you gave up on me."

"Never... I was just giving you time and space you needed to think. I told you... I love you Melody and I'm not giving up on you, no matter how much you play hard to get."

Melody blushed. She really had been playing hard to get and thought that it was actually pretty romantic that Roman was chasing after her. This is one of the things Melody wanted in a relationship. Her thoughts came back to her from the day they shared their first kiss.

"Come on Melody... You know you want to be in a relationship. It beats living alone. You should really just take a chance... And get my heart broken? No thanks. Use your head... If you end up falling for someone... Possibly Roman and your heart gets broken, you won't think very clear at all and probably try something very stupid... Wait a minute. What was I thinking a moment ago? Possibly falling for Roman? You can't do that... He's a friend to you? Then why would he ask me something like if I've ever had a man in your life? Maybe he's just curious. There is no way he could have feelings for me... Even if he did I couldn't just ask him... That would be way too awkward. But just imagine what the perfect man for you would be like... He would be very handsome, he would be there to protect me, he would be the sweetest guy I've ever met. Maybe he would be someone that chases after me if I play hard to get... If I don't do that already. He would comfort me when I'm sad, calm me down when I'm angry, and make me laugh. He would be someone that would never give up on me. Just imagine what your first kiss would be like... Maybe he would slowly dance with me and then he would hold me close... Kiss me gently, but with passion and tell me that he loves me and how much I mean to him. He would have to be someone who loves me for the way I am... He would have to be honest and faithful to me. Someone that will never try to change me and to always be there for me when I need him."

Roman noticed that Melody had been quiet for about a minute.

"So Melody... I know I don't deserve another chance, but I'm asking you for another chance anyway."

"Why are you asking me? I was the one that messed up by not talking to you... I should have trusted you. Trust and communication are two of the most important things and I didn't do either one. Maybe I wasn't ready for a relationship."

"What about now? We could start all over."

"We could, but I don't really want to start over... I would rather just try to pretend that these last two weeks never happened."

"Ok so forgiven and forget then?"

"There isn't really anything for us to forgive Roman... Neither of us were really in the wrong... It was just a big misunderstanding... Wrong place at the wrong time... But seriously, could we please just forget these last two weeks?"

"Of course... So no break up?"

"No... I never wanted to break up, I was just hurt band needed time to think."

"Ok... There is something else you need to know Melody."

"What?"

"Well... I'll show you..."

Roman had his Shield vest and reached into his front pocket and showed Melody two of the pictures they had done together.

"These are the pictures we had together... I've kept them with me everyday since we got them done. During all of my matches, I always keep these pictures in the front pocket of my vest... I'm always thinking about you Melody... Even during my matches, you're always close to my heart."

Melody then remembered that when she got mad at him that she threw her necklace.

"If... I hadn't of thrown my necklace then I could say the same... It really was a lot harder not being able to see you, especially since I didn't have my necklace."

Roman smiled and reached in his pocket again.

"Well then I guess it's a good thing that kept this for you."

"You kept it?"

"Of course, my heart belongs to you and only you... Why would I give it to anyone else?... I wouldn't give it to anyone else."

Melody smiled, but tears still fell from her eyes. She turned around and lifted her hair as Roman fastened the necklace around her neck. When she turned around he smiled at her and looked at the necklace.

"There... Now it's back where it belongs."

Melody's mom had listened to everything they had to say and watched everything that went on. At the moment they were just holding each other close and staring into each others eyes. Her mom thought it was a beautiful moment, but rolled her eyes slightly annoyed and came around a corner.

"Just kiss already!"

Roman laughed as Melody blushed.

"Mom! How long have you been standing there?"

"The whole time... I heard and saw everything... You're an ok guy Roman... Oh come on... I've seen everything else that's went on, it's obvious that you two belong together... I still want to see a kiss."

Roman thought he would play along. Even though Melody was embarrassed with her mom being there she kissed Roman back. It was a quick kiss, but still a passionate kiss. They would kiss when they had more privacy.

"Melody... Will you move back in."

Melody wasn't sure if she should so quick, especially now that John was gone, her mom would be living on her own. She looked at her mom and she just gave her a nod giving a sign that she would be fine. She smiled at Roman and took his hand.

"I will."
