Dean felt an immense weight get off his chest as he watched the five foot woman retain her title, ultimately moving away from the entrance so he wouldn't bump into her. Either way, he had a segment up next that she wouldn't be such a fan of.
Breaking up was hard. Especially when you're the one being broken up with.
The roles had been reversed a few months back when he ended his relationship with Renee Young a little before the brand split. He'd say it was a very mutual agreement, but still he'd try to avoid having interviews with the blond as much as he could.
He never planned on commencing a relationship only two months after ending that one, but the five feet of fury had her ways that he was just drawn to.
Dean was Alexa's first friend outside of the NXT crew she made after the brand split. Bonding over the fact they were both from Ohio, ditching their friends to carpool together, and her overall personality won over the former WWE champion.
Alexa was as jealous as they came. Not because she was insecure, she was probably the most confident person in the room and Dean loved that about her the most. Alexa never confronted Ambrose about Renee, but he felt like it was a duty of his to try to avoid her even more to not cause any conflicts with Alexa.
He forgot about Total Divas.
He was still with Renee when they started filming the blond interviewer, with him included. Dean had hoped nothing would come out of it, he would be free from the 'Total Divas Syndrome'.
That wasn't what booking had in mind.
With not much going for him in the main event scene for the meanwhile, Dean didn't have the power to deny or defy the creative team when they informed him about the angle he'd be working in with Renee, Miz, and Maryse.
He didn't know how to tell Alexa, so he didn't for the time being.
However when she was backstage watching Renee interviewing The Miz, with her boyfriend standing next to her, and she heard those words come out of Miz's words, Ambrose didn't have to tell her anything anymore.
Locking him out of her locker room, Ambrose eventually gave up and slumped down, sitting down waiting for Alexa to open the door.
And she did. But it was to throw him their rental car keys and a bracelet he had won for her at a local fair back in Ohio. He had no words, and neither did she.
A couple of texts were exchanged between then and now. Dean was never to type to beg for anything much less anyone, but the fact Alexa wouldn't even let him explain was killing him to the core. When she finally did reply, it was to explain why she was even mad in the first place.
Baby Bliss: You lied, you could've told me. The fact you didn't even defend your real and current relationship to a couple of pansies in suits explains your dedication to this relationship.
Dean: I'm sorry, Lex.
From everything he was feeling, he could've found something else to say, something more heart wrenching. But that wasn't the type of dude he was, and that's why Alexa had fallen for him in the first place. But it now felt like it just backfired.
Her silence only confirmed everything else that followed: he lost his five feet of fury.
After wrapping up his segment with Miz and Renee, Dean immediately fled the scene. He wasn't going to go out and search for Alexa, no, that'd make him look desperate (even though that's exactly what he was). But he also didn't feel like engaging in a conversation over the other party feeling 'so bad' and 'sorry' about him and Alexa, the only dudes he would even speak about his feelings to were over at RAW.
Gathering up his belongings from the crowded locker room while also dodging all the looks, Dean walked the hallways with his phone in hand, and her name shining bright on his empty iMessage tab.
Never did Dean Ambrose believe he would ever be distracted due to a damn technology device, but there's a first time for everything. Colliding with another being who also seemed to be distracted with their cellphone, the duo looked up only to realize what they were actually doing.
Alexa was the first to look away, but not before taking a peek at what Dean's phone displayed. The man before her wasn't innocent either, noticing his name still had a blue heart emoji next to it, her favorite one.
Screw it, Dean thought. If he had broken his head over this girl all week and actually sought out for his side to be heard, it was worth breaking his whole rules of never showing emotions.
"Ambrose, you're on in 5 for Talking Smack." It was like the producer was sent from hell, making Alexa snap out of reality and throwing her phone into her pocket but not before exiting out of her messaging tab.
"You got a storyline to get to, Ambrose." Giving him one last look, Alexa turned on her heel and made her way out of the arena, not daring to look back with the fear she'd submit and accept the man before her back.
Breaking up was hard, especially in the WWE.
Just a little thing of these two that I have come to adore with all my heart. They're hella otp, and I intend this to be a one shot, but if you'd like to i can expand with this?
Anyways, hope you enjoyed my little comeback.
