We all arrived at the arena and went our separate ways to our locker room. I was trying my best to take Dean's advice and not let Seth get to me but it seemed like he was doing everything in his power to try and get under my skin.
"So Seth'' Dean said as we placed his bags down ''Since when have you and Esme been a thing?" 
We still shared a locker room, despite The Shield disbanding
"Not long'' Seth answered ''I told her how i felt while we were out sightseeing and we kinda went from there''
''Just like that?'' Dean asked ''No hesitations or anything?''
''Well what can I say'' Seth replied ''She obviously couldn't resist me''
My blood was boiling as I listened to Seth speak about Esme like that. He had absolutely no respect for her and I made and excuse to leave, telling Dean that I had to do something for the WWE app. I had to warn Esme about Seth before she got hurt.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Esme had just finished changing into her ring gear when there was a knock at her door ''COME IN'' she shouted as she tied up her boots
''Hey''  
''Oh hey Ro'' Esme smiled 
''I need to talk to you'' Roman says ''About Seth''
''What about him?'' Esme asks
''Be careful around him'' Roman warned "He's not as genuine as he'd like you to believe"
''What do you mean by that?'' Esme asked
''I just don't want to see you get hurt'' Roman explained
''And why would i get hurt?'' Esme asked confused ''Has something happened?''
''No'' Roman replied ''I just-"
''I know he's no saint" Esme pointed out "But I decided to take my own advice and give it a go"  
''And that's your perogative but I'm just asking you to be careful"
Roman was hiding something, Esme could tell "Hearing you say that makes me feel like you know something I don't"
Esme was far to observant for her own good sometimes ''I'm just trying to be a good friend and look out for you''
"I appreciate that but until Seth gives me a reason to be, I'm not concerned" Esme replied

It seemed Dean was right after all. Esme would have to make her own mistakes. I wished her luck with her match and made my way back to the locker room. When i stepped inside Dean was nowhere to be seen, Seth was sat in the corner on his phone  
"Where's Dean?'' 
Seth looked up from his phone ''So are you talking to me now?''
''What?'' He was obviously texting someone, if the rapid movement of his thumb was anything to go by
''I saw your face when Esme and I came back from sightseeing holding hands'' Seth replied ''You've been sulking ever since''
I had never wanted to punch someone more that I wanted to punch Seth at that very moment. The only problem was that I knew once I started I'd find it hard to stop 
"I'm just biding my time. Waiting for you to trip up and land on your ass''
Seth stood up "Either way I've already won" 
"You make all this sound like some kind of competition" I pointed out as he made his way over to me
"It is in my eyes'' Seth replied ''And you've already lost''
Before I knew it Seth was on the floor and my fists were making contact with his face over and over again. It was only when I felt myself being pulled backwards that I stopped. It was Dean that had pulled me back as Seth got to his feet, spitting blood out of his mouth. 
''You hurt her and I'll do much worse'' I warned
Dean got between us and Seth quickly left without another word
''What the hell?'' Dean said as he let go of me
''He provoked me'' I explained
"Look I'm not saying that he didn't deserve it because knowing him he probably did but what would of happened if I hadn't of come in?'' Dean asked
Dean was right i probably wouldn't have stopped and Seth would have ended up in the hospital 
Dean looked at me, sensing that there was more to the situation than I had told him ''What did you do?''
"I warned Esme about Seth. She didn't take it well''
"When did you do that?" Dean asked
"When I said I was doing something for the WWE app" I admitted
"And everyone says I'm the crazy one" Dean laughed as someone knocked on the door
