A/N: Just a note, this story is in two POV's. One being Paige's and the other is the author (me). Just in case anyone was confused or curious. Anyways, enjoy.

I laid in my bed all morning. I couldn't get up or even want to do anything. All I could think about (despite me wanting to) was what those grueling animals known as the SHIELD did to me. They not only hurt me sexually and emotionally but mentally. I can't even think straight ever since those DOGS started harassing me! I felt sick!

I knew I couldn't let them get to me though. Yeah, I was scared but you know what … I WON'T allow them to take over my life and destroy it all because I called them pathetic. I am the WWE Diva's Champion and I deserve RESPECT.

I decided to get up out of bed and make myself something to eat. After all I was starving. I took out some pancake mix and blueberries from my refrigerator and made myself a wonderful batch of blueberry pancakes. My gosh, it felt so good to eat.

After I ate, I went to go watch some television. Flipping through the channels, I came across a haunted show. I always enjoy something scary and creepy.

About 45mins later, the show ended. It was a very good show. I never saw it before but now I can add it to my list of television shows. I looked at the clock and it was 3:00p.m.

I was pretty thirsty so I walked back to the kitchen and poured myself a cold glass of water. So refreshing!

Just then, my phone buzzed …

I grabbed it and saw that it was … the SHIELD!

Message one was from Roman. It read;

"So Paige, how fast can you run … because it won't be long before we come for another visit"

I swallowed hard

Then Seth's message came through …

"You know, if I were you, I'd get away FAST because once we find you … you won't get away!"

I cringed ..

Then, Dean …

"If you thought last night was bad, you haven't seen ANYTHING yet!"

Right then I had it …

I tossed my phone on the counter. I was so confused and frustrated. Why the hell are they still attacking me?! I thought I was free!

I felt my heart beat a thousand times over and over extremely fast. But then, it hit me. These guys want me to feel scared and they want to screw with me and my Diva's title. They are going to do everything in their power to screw me out of my rightfully earned title and then continue to make my life hell. Well you know what, I won't allow it!

I grabbed my jacket and car keys and made my way down to the arena. I knew Hunter and Stephanie would probably be there. At least I hoped.

Once there, I quickly stormed to the office. I knocked viciously, my nostrils flaring. The door opened.

… it was THEM

"Oh …well looky here fella's " Seth's voice spoke as he held the door in his firm grasp

Dean and Roman come up behind him and smirk "Well hello there …crumpet" Roman then said.

I panicked! Why. Why. Why.

I had to play it cool, but it was so hard. They were so intimidating.

"W-what ..."

I was then cut off

"Come in!" Dean then said dragging me inside.

Seth closed the door and followed as Dean and Roman stalked me as I fell on the couch, not even realizing it was there.

"G-guys …p-please" I begged "W-hat do y-you want?"

They loomed over me as I shrieked in fear on the couch.

"What do we want … or what do YOU want?!" Dean said

I shook my head "I want NOTHING from you guys. All I want is to be left alone. For you three to leave me be. You got what you wanted, now leave me alone"

Each of them laughed and then gave me a look I didn't like.

"You don't understand. Once you mess with the SHIELD, you deal with us … FOREVER!" Roman said

Okay, now that was too much to take in. I was not going to take that shit.

I looked at him confused and got up "ARE YOU KIDDING ME! FOREVER?! NO WAY!"

Dean hissed and grabbed my hair and yanked it back … "WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU TO GET UP AND START YELLING AT US YOU BITCH!"

Right then I had it. I wasn't going to be their puppet or anything. I REFUSE that.

With all my strength and anger building up, I swatted his arm away in which got him to release his hold on my hair. Roman and Seth looked at Dean and then at me, completely shocked at what I just did.

Dean boiled "YOU BITCH!"

I stood my ground "NO! You listen to me now!" I told him, also looking at Roman and Seth in the process. "I REFUSE to let you three animals ruin my life and I'll be damned if you think you are going to screw me out of my Diva's championship all because I said one little word about you guys. .You think you guys are tough, YOU'RE NOT! It shows how WEAK you are because you pick on all the women. I won't tolerate it. I'm the Anti-Diva! And I deserve RESPECT!"

All three of their eyes grew wide. The silence in the room was uncomfortable. As soon as I finished, every word that came from my mouth shattered through their ears and felt like there was going to be a terrible explosion; being them. I could tell I probably made a mistake but deep down I know I did the right thing. I'm a woman that takes no bullshit from anybody.

As the anger inside of me calmed down a bit, I could tell especially on Dean's face that the anger was quickly rising. Roman and Seth were pretty pissed as well. I mean, I'm sure no women have talked to them like I just did.

Right when Dean was going to approach me, the door opened and in came Hunter and Stephanie. We all looked at them.

"Oh, well hello all of you" Stephanie said with all smiles. She then saw me and her smile grew even wider "And Paige, so nice to see you"

I wanted to smack her so bad. Evil witch!

Hunter sat down in his chair and propped his feet up on the desk "So what brings you all here to my office"

I looked at the Shield and they looked at me. I spoke …

"I came because I have a serious problem on my shoulders"

Hunter and Stephanie looked at each other and then to me. The Shield gave me a serious look.

"And what is that exactly Paige?" Stephanie added

I pointed to the three men standing beside me.

"THEM!"

Stephanie and Hunter laughed "Yes, they are three fine men, you definitely have a problem" Stephanie said with her sarcasm.

I clenched my fists "DON'T act like you two aren't in on this. Two nights ago you have these goons drag me out of here and do whatever they want to me and now sit here and make JOKES. What kind of cold-hearted corporate people are YOU?!"

I could see the Shield's skin crawling the louder I got with my tone.

Hunter leaned forward "What did they do" he asked curious

I looked at them. The look of anger in their eyes and their bodies tensing up. I didn't care though.

"They sexually assaulted me!"

Hunter looked at the Shield who were trying to remain calm through all of this but inside they were fuming with so much anger.

Hunter then started laughing out of nowhere after looking serious for a second. I bowed my head in frustration.

"Okay, so they sexually assaulted you. Look Paige, I understand your frustration but you did call them … you know what and-"

I cut him off

"YOU'RE KIDDING ME RIGHT! YOU JUST GOING TO LET IT SLIDE. NO SUSPENSION. NO PUNISHMENT WHATSOEVER. THIS ISN'T RIGHT. I AM YOUR DIVA'S CHAMPION! WHERE IS MY RESPECT!" I yelled, very emotionally frustrated.

Stephanie walked up to me, a very serious look at her face. I looked at her.

"Listen to me and listen good Paige. I don't care what problems you're having with the Shield, and I DAMN sure don't care what they did to you. You want to start problems, then you deal with the consequences. And if you want to be rid of your championship, keep up the attitude. Because you're working your way up to that point." Stephanie told me making complete eye contact with me. "Do I make myself clear?!"

I swallowed hard and nodded.

"Good!" she walked back around the desk to stand next to Hunter who was smiling "Now as far as the Shield goes, they have a proposition for you. Whether or not you accept it, is up to you but do know that if you say no to this then you deal with the consequences."

I looked at the Shield who seemed to have calmed down a bit but still had anger written all over their face.

"What's the proposition" I ask them worried

Dean and Roman nudged Seth and he walked up to me …

"If you join the Shield, we will be a bit nicer to you"

He can't be serious. And what the hell a 'bit' nicer like what the hell is that going to do?!

"You're kidding me right?!" I told him completely baffled

He shook his head "Nope. Either you accept it or don't but like Stephanie said, you'll face the consequences if you don't" he then leaned down close to me ear "And it'll be worse than last night"

Goosebumps went down my spine. Roman and Dean smirked at my reaction.

No way did I want to join the Shield. These guys were animals and hurt me in so many ways. It's completely ridiculous.

"What's the catch?" I asked them

They looked at each other and back at me "No catch really. We just want to get to know you more, that's all" Roman added.

I find that one hard to believe.

"So what do you say?" Dean said walking close to me.

"U-Um"

I looked over at Stephanie and Hunter who weren't giving me much sympathy in this situation.

"For how long?" I asked them

Dean huffed "What the hell is this, a questionnaire …just answer a simple YES or NO!"

I-I …d-don't know"

Stephanie got up and made some distance between Dean and myself. "Alright hold up. I got an idea. You want to get to know each other better? You want to ask questions and air your pent up frustrations? Fine, I'll set up a session so you Paige, can say how you truly feel about the SHIELD before making your decision. Is that fair to you guys?"

The Shield looked at each other and looked at me "Fine, set it up." Dean said staring daggers into my chest.

"Great! Tomorrow it's set. I'll text each of you the address of the place." Stephanie said.

"Now you all are dismissed" Hunter said leaning back in his chair "Have a nice evening"

I quickly ran out of the office and out to my car. I didn't want the Shield catching up to me. Thankfully, I made it home in one piece and no signs of the Shield followed me.

The next day

It was the day of the session. I was a bit nervous for this because I would finally be addressing how I feel about these guys in which can either make or break me. Stephanie had sent me the address to this weird location that I had no idea where it was but thank the Lord for GPS.

I found the building, parking in the driveway. There was already a car there which I figured was the Shield. I went inside and followed the arrows to a room in which was the one with the Shield and another person who I had no idea who it was.

The Shield turned and looked at me as I stood in the door frame.

"Come on in Miss Paige, I'm Mr. O'Donnell. I'll be instructing your session with the Shield today"

I walked in and took a seat next to Roman. I didn't like being so close.

"Alright, now we won't waste time. Now, who wants to go first?" Mr. O'Donnell asked "Any volunteers?"

I just decided to get up and get this over with.

"Paige, great. Please, step up to the podium and start off by telling Roman, Dean and Seth individually how you feel about them" Mr. O'Donnell said "They're all ears now"

Roman, Dean and Seth sat there with their arms crossed awaiting for me to begin speaking. I inhaled a breath and released it slowly.

"Okay, well … I guess Roman I'll start with you"

Roman was all ears.

"When I first saw Roman, I thought he was the caring guy that loved everyone. He was the man of the hour. Him coming from a strong family blood-line, family is what thrives him to be at his very best. Truthfully, I feel Roman Reigns isn't a bad guy. I don't believe he is. I believe that him being in the Shield has driven him over the edge, so he acts out like an animal but deep down, his motive is to love. Without love, he is crushed."

Roman looked shock as he blinked a few times quickly. I think I took him by surprise.

"Good Paige, continue to the next"

I look at Dean …

"Dean Ambrose. Where do I begin? Well, to many Dean comes across as a man who is cruel and a lunatic which yeah, he is in a way but when I first came across Dean, he portrayed a man of independence. He lives by his own rules and lives life in the shadows. Dean Ambrose makes people see who he wants them to see, but beneath that thick layer, is what I've always seen Dean for, and that's a guy that loves to go out to the ring and be the very best he can be. He may not show it a lot, but he also loves. He has a heart no matter how hard he hides his feelings"

Dean probably was vomiting inside but the look he was giving me was a look I don't think anybody has seen in a long time. It's like all the anger and intensity that he has build up inside him left for a moment and he was relaxed, just calm as the storm.

"You're doing awesome Paige. Now lastly, talk about Seth"

I swallow hard and look at Seth.

"…Seth. Wow, time sure does fly. There's so much history between Seth and myself. There's the side of Seth that makes me wish I never met him, because he acts out in a conceited arrogant way that makes me feel like a shell of a woman … or in most cases, scared. But then there's this side of Seth …(I start to dwell up with tears at this point) …There's this side of Seth that I once called my friend."

"It's okay Paige, keep going" Mr. O'Donnell said "Tell him how you feel"

"Seth was the first man I ever had any real connection with. Not only was he my friend, but he was like a brother to me. He always had my back even when I felt I didn't deserve it. He gave me a reason to smile. Every time I'd show up to work, he'd be there with open arms. And ever since the day we met, it was a day that kept me most alive. Seth Rollins gave me a gift of friendship. After joining the Shield, our friendship went downhill. It was like I was a stranger in his eyes. But when I look at him, deep down I still see the man I saw years ago when I first met him. I see my friend. And no matter what he does, that's all I'll ever see, because it was that special to me."

Seth was looking at me like he couldn't believe what he had heard. Dean and Roman were silent, just looking at both me and Seth back and forth. They were shocked!

Dean swatted Seth's arm "Dude, are you okay?"

Seth got out of his trance "Yeah, I can't believe she brought that up. I didn't think she still remembered that"

Dean huffed "Don't tell me-"

"No, relax. I'm not falling in love with her or anything. It just took me by surprise" Seth said as he watched me return to my seat.

Roman and Dean looked at me as I was bowing my head, too embarrassed to look at them.

I can't believe I confessed that. Seth probably thinks I'm pathetic now.

"Alright then, do you gentlemen want to say anything in response to Miss Paige?" Mr. O'Donnell said

Dean, Roman and Seth just looked at me. I glanced over at them and noticed.

"Is that a no?"

Roman, Dean and Seth just got up and left. I watched as they just walked out, not saying a word. I was very confused.

"Alrighty then. Well I guess we'll conclude the session, Thank you Miss Paige. I'm sure they'll come through."

I smiled slightly and left.

I headed back home and went up to bed. I couldn't exactly process that entire session properly but all I know is that it was weird … VERY weird.

A/N: Alright well I'm going to stop here because I have to think further with this.
