Everyone was on their way to school while Dean was still recovering from his heart break. he grabbed the bottle of vodka sitting on his nightstand and poured himself a shot as he thought back to the day he first met Bayley.

"Excuse me." Dean said as he approached their table. He took a seat next to Sasha. "Dean Ambrose."

Across the courtyard Roman and Seth watched in amusement.

"Sasha Banks. This is Finn and Bayley." Sasha greeted.

"Hey guys." Dean greeted them quickly before bringing his attention back to Sasha. "I couldn't help but notice how beautiful you are. I hope you are going to the back to school Bash tonight?"

Sasha smiled amusingly. "I might be."

"You might be going. Well I hope you do. Come find me if you show?" Dean asked.

Dean took the shot as a tear fell from his eyes.

 Roman, Mandy, and Finn were standing outside his jeep talking when Sasha pulled in to the parking lot. Mike got out of the drivers seat while Seth hopped out of the back. Becky pulled in on her motorcycle with Bayley on the back of her bike.

"Hey guys!" Mandy yelled as everyone watched Bayley and Becky.

Bayley walked over to the group with intent. She approached Seth and slapped him right across the face.

"What the hell?" Finn asked.

"You know what that was for?" Bayley asked.

"Yeah, I got it." Seth said as he stormed off.

"Give me a second."Roman said as he walked over to Bayley.

"Hey, Roman." Bayley said.

"I need to talk to you." Roman said.

"Now?" Bayley asked.

"Yeah." Roman said as she looked at Becky.

Becky looked at Bayley as if she were going to punch Roman.

"It's fine, Becky. I will meet up with you at lunch." Bayley said.

Becky walked in to school, passing everyone else.

"Go on, I'll be inside shortly." Roman said, motioning his friends to go on without him.

Bayley followed Roman to his jeep and got in.

"What do you want?" Bayley asked.

"Are you doing okay?" Roman asked.

"What did he tell you? Bayley asked.

"Not much." Roman said.

"Where is he? I didn't see him with everyone else." Bayley said.

"James is taking care of him. He was drinking all last night and this morning." Roman said.

"Is he okay?" Bayley asked.

"I don't know." Roman said.

"Well tell James that he should try putting a cold wash cloth on his forehead. Let him take a nap for about thirty minutes then give him a shot of whatever he was drinking. Have him repeat that two times then after that try to get him to eat something." Bayley said.

"Bayley." Roman said.

"It should help him." Bayley said.

"Bayley. How are you doing?" Roman asked.

"I don't want to talk about it because if I do then I am just going to fall apart." Bayley said.

"You know I am here if you need me right?" Roman asked.

"I know." Bayley said as Roman rest his hand on hers.

Sasha was getting her books from her locker when she heard arguing.

"Fuck you!" Nikki yelled.

"I told you it didn't mean anything!" Carmella yelled.

"Well obviously it did or it wouldn't have happened!" Nikki yelled.

"We are done! We are so done!" Carmella yelled as she walked away.

Nikki fell to the ground and burst into tears.

"Get up." Sasha said as she approached Nikki.

"What?" Nikki asked.

"Wipe the tears off your face and get up." Sasha said.

Nikki did what she said. Sasha pulled grabbed a kleenex from her bag and wiped Nikki's face.

"What are you doing?" Nikki asked.

"You showing her how upset you are is just going to make her feel better. She cheated right?" Sasha asked.

"With Alexa." Nikki said.

"That doesn't surprise me." Sasha said.

"She told me they were just friends." Nikki said.

"Look, you have to pull your shit together and pretend like everything is fine. If you want her back you have to make her think that she's not worth your time." Sasha said.

"What? Who said I want her back?" Nikki asked.

"Don't you?" Sasha asked.

"Yes." Nikki said.

Sasha laughed.

"Come on, I will walk you to class." Sasha said.

That day at lunch Roman, Mandy, Finn, and Mike were sitting at their usual table.

"I have so much make up work to do it isn't even funny." Mike said.

"Same." Roman said.

"Well you guys shouldn't have skipped all those days of school. Where did you say you guys were again?" Mandy asked.

"It was a family emergency for Bayley, remember? I thought I told you." Roman said.

"Oh, yeah. I remember now." Mandy said.

"Hey guys." Seth said as he and Sasha joined them at their table.

"Your face is still red from that slap?" Roman asked.

"Yeah. It fucking hurt." Seth said.

"Why did she slap you anyway?" Roman asked.

"You don't want to know." Seth said.

Sasha began to eat her food but stopped when she saw Nikki looking for a place to sit. She noticed Nikki was starring at Carmella and Alexa who were sitting a little too close to each other.

"Over here, babe!" Sasha yelled.

 Nikki looked to Sasha in confusion but walked over to her anyway.

"Just go with it." Sasha whispered in her ear.

Carmella was now staring down Sasha with dagger eyes.

"What's going on here? Finn asked.

"Yeah, what are you doing Sasha?" Nikki asked.

"Your ex is staring." Sasha said.

"Oh, I see. Nice work." Nikki said.

Bayley and Becky suddenly walked into the courtyard and looked for the others.

"Why is she with Becky?" Mike asked.

Bayley and Becky sat at an empty table.

"Come on." Sasha said to Nikki as she got up and walked over to Bayley.

"What is she doing?" Roman asked.

"Picking sides apparently." Seth said.

That day after school, Becky and Bayley went to Joe's Cafe while the guys had basketball practice.

"You didn't have to stay with me at lunch today." Becky said.

"I wanted to. They think you're responsible for Charlotte and I know the truth. I wouldn't feel right if I had left you alone." Bayley said.

"So we haven't talked about us.." Becky said.

"Us?" Bayley asked.

"You know I have feelings for you." Becky said.

"Can we just not talk about it now? There is obviously something between us but talking about it and saying it out loud would mean that Dean and I are really over." Bayley said.

"I assume talking about it means that I can't tell you that I think I might be in love with you?" Becky asked.

Bayley stared at Becky, frozen.

"Becky." Bayley said.

"Relax, I'm joking." Becky laughed.

"Don't do that! You nearly gave me a heart attack!" Bayley yelled playfully.

"Scoot closer." Becky said as she rest her hand on Bayley's leg under the table.

Bayley looked into her eyes as Becky slid her hands in Bayley's pants.

"What are you doing?" Bayley asked.

"Let's get out of here." Becky whispered.

They both got up and ran outside to the side of the building as Becky pushed Bayley against the wall. Becky grabbed Bayley's waste as they began making out.

That day after practice, Sasha and Seth returned home to find Dean passed out on his bed.

"Bayley?" Dean asked in a raspy voice.

"No, it's me." Seth said.

"Get out." Dean said.

"You have been in here all day." Seth said.

"Please get out!" Dean yelled.

Seth walked out of the room, shutting the door behind him.

Dean laid in bed with a killer head ache as he remembered the first conversation he had Bayley that night at the beach.

"I'm Dean." Dean said.

"Ya I know." Bayley said annoyingly. Dean looked confused. Roman laughed.

"What's up guys?" Seth approached everyone.

"This is Sasha and Bayley." Roman told him.

"Hello." Seth greeted them with a smile.

"Oh is this the girl you hit on at lunch?" Seth asked.

"Yup." Dean Said.

"So how did you guys like your first day?" Roman asked.

"Absolutely boring." Sasha said.

"And you?" Seth asked.

"I thought it was fun." Bayley said. Everyone laughed.

"I think we have English together?" Dean suggested.

"Ya, unfortunately." Bayley said. Seth and Roman laughed.

"But your'e not a senior?" Dean asked.

"I took a placement test to get in." Bayley said.

"Damn." Seth added.

Dean threw a pillow across the room, hitting a vase of flowers and shattering glass all over the floor.

Downstairs Sasha and Seth were making themselves sandwiches downstairs while they talked to James.

"So how has he been?" Seth asked.

"Not that great. I tired doing what Roman told me but Dean won't even let me in the room long enough to get a word in." James said.

"Damn. He's doing worse than I thought." Seth said.

"Was Bayley at school?" James asked.

"Yeah." Seth said.

"That's why his face is red." Sasha laughed.

"She hit you?" James asked.

"She seemed to be doing a lot better than Dean is." Seth said.

"Give it a few days. Bayley likes to bottle things up. Eventually, something is going to set her off and she will lose it." Sasha said.

"Seriously?" Seth asked.

"Yeah. When her mom died, she didn't even cry, not at the funeral or anything" Sasha said.

"I remember that, because the next week Maria did something that reminded her of her mom and she flipped out." James said.

"Bayley flipped out? How?" Seth asked.

"She tried to light the house on fire. Then she was stuck in her room for like four days." James said.

"Damn." Seth said.

Upstairs Dean was pacing his room, trying to get Bayley out of his head.

"I saw you at our football tryouts, thinking about joining? Seth broke the ice.

"No way." Bayley joked.

"What you like to do then?" Roman asked.

"I write sometimes." Bayley replied.

"Hey Dean." A blonde girl greeted as she passed by. Bayley laughed.

"What?" Dean asked.

"I told Sasha you were a player." Bayley said. Roman and Seth laughed.

"What makes you think that?" He asked. Bayley just rolled her eyes.

"I'm going to get another drink." Dean said.

"He is unbelievable." Bayley said.

Dean laughed at himself and poured himself another shot.

Downstairs, Mike had just got home.

"Hey, you want a sandwich?" James asked.

"I'm not that hungry. I'll just steal some of yours." Mike joked as he took a bit of James sandwich.

James laughed as he looked at Mike.

"Come here, you have something on your face." James said as he wiped mayonaise off Mike's lip.

Seth and Sasha watched as Mike looked into James eyes.

"Okay, what the hell is going on?" Sasha asked.

"What?" James asked.

"Nothing." Mike said as he ran upstairs.

Sasha stared at James for a moment.

"I'm watching you." Sasha said as Seth laughed.

Bayley and Becky returned home that evening and got started on their homework.

"I really don't want to do all of this." Bayley said.

"I know. I could think of so many other things that we could be doing." Becky said as she leaned over and kissed Bayley.

"No. I have to get this done." Bayley said.

"Fine, I'll get us some snacks." Becky said.

Bayley sorted out her assignments and came across her English notbook, remember bck to the second day of the school year.

"Mr. Stone." Bayley asked.

"Yes?" He asked.

"You didn't assign me a partner." Bayley informed him.

"Yes, let's see." Mr. Stone searcher his list. "It looks like you will be partnering with Mr. Ambrose."

"I can't work with him." Bayley said.

"I am sorry Bayley but you will have to partner with him." Mr. Stone assured her. Bayley sighed.

"We will spend the rest of our class time reviewing the project with our partners.

Dean walked to Bayley's desk.

"Howdy partner." Dean greeted.

"Just sit down." Bayley said.

"You really don't like me do you?" Dean asked.

"Not at all." Bayley said.

"Why not?" Dean asked.

"Why don't I like you? I don't know. I just don't." Bayley said.

"Whatever." Dean mumbled.

"Okay. I have chips and soda." Becky said as she returned to the room.

Bayley was frozen, staring at her notebook.

"Everything okay?" Becky asked.

"You're right, let's do something else." Bayley said as she got up and threw Becky on the bed.

"What made you change your mind?" Becky asked.

"Does it matter?" Bayley asked.

"I guess not." Becky said.

Sasha invited Nikki over to hang out for a little bit. They were drinking out in the pool in their bikini's while they talked.

"She called me earlier but I didn't answer." Nikki said.

"Why not?" Sasha asked.

"I thought I would keep her guessing." Nikki said.

"Good. You're learning." Sasha joked.

"Can I ask you something?" Nikki asked.

"Sure." Sasha said.

"What happened between you and Carmella?" Nikki asked.

"You really want the full story?" Sasha asked.

"Yeah." Nikki said.

"So Bayley was basically the first girl I ever had feelings for. Her and Bayley were best friends when I moved here and after I started hanging out with them, Carmella caught on to my crush on Bayley. Eventually, she and I started kissing from time to time. But as we got older things just escalated. Then all these years later, they hated each other and Becky came to town. Then Bayley found out about me and Mella. Becky and I started seeing each other while you were with her then Alexa and Bayley had some weird thing that made me realize I was still in love with Bayley. That's when Becky cheated on me with Alexa and now Becky and Bayley are actually friends and you are with Mella." Sasha said.

"And you're all alone?" Nikki asked.

"That's what you got out of all that?" Sasha asked.

"Pretty much." Nikki laughed.

"Yeah, I guess I am." Sasha said.

Upstairs, Dean was passed out again, now dreaming about the day he first felt something for Bayley.

"Let's get this over with." Dean said as he joined her.

"Don't you want to put a shirt on? Bayley asked.

"I'm good." Dean said. Bayley rolled her eyes.

"Hey Dean!" A brunette shouted as she walked by.

"Hey Peyton." Dean yelled back.

"Can we start now?" Bayley asked.

"Sure." Dean took a seat.

"Tell me something about yourself." Bayley said.

"Like what?" Dean asked.

"Anything." Bayley said.

"My favorite color is green." Dean said.

"Something deeper." Bayley laughed. "What about your parents?"

"My dad took off when I was a baby. and my mom is in the hospital." Dean said bluntly.

"Wow. I'm so sorry. Can I ask what your mom is in the hospital for?"

"Bipolar disorder." Dean said shamefully.

"It's good she is getting help." Bayley said.

"Ya, I guess." Dean said.

"How long?" Bayley asked.

"Two and a half years." Dean said.

"That must be hard. Who takes care of you?" Bayley asked.

"Me." Dean said.

"Do you live with your grandparents or another relative?" Bayley asked.

"No, I've been staying in my mom's old apartment. No one knows she isn't there. I just make rent and no one asks any questions." Dean said.

"Are you serious?" Bayley asked.

"It's not a big deal." Dean said.

"You have a job?" Bayley asked.

"Kind of." Dean said.

"That sounds sketchy." Bayley said.

"Trust me, it is." Dean laughed. "What about you? What happened to your mom?"

"She was murdered." Bayley said. Dean laughed.

"Wait are you serious?" Dean asked.

"Ya." Bayley replied.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to laugh. I though you were messing with me." Dean said.

"No." Bayley said.

"How old were you?" Dean asked.

"Seven." Bayley said.

"And you said your dad travels a lot?" Dean asked.

"Ya." Bayley said.

"So who takes care of you then?" Dean joked.

"My nanny Maria." Bayley said.

"You have a nanny?" Dean laughed.

"She is like a mom to me." Bayley said.

"That's good then." Dean said.

"Ya." Bayley said. Speaking of, it's starting to get dark I should probably get going." Bayley said.

"Yeah me too." Dean said in disappointment.

Dean and Bayley walked to the parking lot and stopped at Dean's car.

"You don't actually have anywhere to be do you?" Bayley asked.

"What? Ya I do." Dean defended himself.

"Like what?" Bayley asked.

"No I don't have any plans." Dean said.

"Why don't you come over for dinner?" Bayley asked reluctantly.

"What?" Dean asked.

"Come on, it will be fun." Bayley said.

"I thought we hated each other? Dean asked.

"We do." Bayley said.

"Okay fine." Dean said.

The two got into their cars. Dean followed Bayley to her house.

"This is where you live?" Dean asked.

"Ya." Bayley replied.

"There are a lot of security cameras. Is the president inside?" Dean asked.

"Funny." Bayley said as she lead Dean inside.

"Who is this?" Maria asked in surprise.

"This is Dean. I invited him over for dinner." Bayley said.

"Nice to meet you young man. I hope you like meatloaf." Maria said.

"That sounds great." Dean said.

"So you are a friend of Bayley's? Maria asked as they gathered at the table.

"I guess I am." Dean laughed.

"We are working together on a school project." Bayley said.

"Dean?" Seth asked.

"Go away." Dean said.

"I'm not leaving this time." Seth said.

"Get out." Dean said.

"Get the fuck up." Seth said.

Dean sat up, shocked at Seth's bluntness.

"Whoa. What happened to your face?" Dean asked.

"Bayley happened." Seth said.

Dean laughed.

"There he is." Seth said.

"What am I going to do?" Dean asked.

"You're going to get out of bed and be the superstar I know you are. Tomorrow you are going to school and we are going to figure this out." Seth said.

"She really slapped you?" Dean asked.

"Yes." Seth said.

"I know what I have to do." Dean said.

"What?" Seth asked as Dean got up and headed for the shower.

"I'll be at school tomorrow, don't worry." Dean said.

Back at Valerie's house Bayley had fallen asleep.

"Dinner was amazing. Thank you Maria." Dean said.

"Thank you Dean, you are welcome." Maria said.

"I should probably take off." Dean said.

"I will walk you out." Bayley said.

"Thanks for inviting me." Dean said.

"Of course." Bayley said as hey approached his car.

"Goodnight I guess." Dean said as he and Bayley shared an awkward hug.

"Dean?" Bayley asked.

"Ya?" Dean asked.

"Are you sleeping in your car?" Bayley asked.

"What? No." Dean said.

"There are blankets and a pillow in the back Dean." Bayley said.

"I like to be prepared for the ladies." Dean said.

"Dean." Bayley said seriously.

"Just leave it alone Bayley." Dean said.

"You are staying here." Bayley said.

"No I'm not." Dean said as he got in his car.

"Dean get out of the car." Bayley said.

"Thanks for dinner." Dean said. Before he could drive off Bayley jumped in the car.

"Shut the car off." Bayley said.

"I can't stay here." Dean said.

"Why not?" Bayley asked.

"I don't need you to feel bad for me." Dean said.

"Just stay here for tonight." Bayley said.

"One night." Dean said.

"Thank you." Bayley said as as they exited his car.

Maria was cleaning off the table when the two reentered the house.

"Is everything okay?" Maria asked.

"Dean is going to stay here tonight. His parents are out of town." Bayley said.

"Of course. We are glad to have you Dean." Maria said.

"Thank you." Dean said.

"This way." Bayley said as she led him through the house.

"This is where you can stay tonight. There are extra blankets and pillows in the closet. My room is right across the hall if you need anything and the bathroom is right there." Bayley said.

"Thanks Bayley." Dean said. She smiled before going to her room.

The next morning Bayley woke up, forgetting that Dean stayed and walked into the bathroom.

"Excuse me." Dean shouted.

"Oh my god." Bayley yelled before running out of the bathroom.

"Like what you see?" Dean yelled from inside the bathroom.

"I'm sorry." Bayley said as he left the bathroom.

"Now you." Dean said.

"What?" Bayley asked.

"I showed you mine now you show me yours. That's the rules." Dean said.

"Um, no." Bayley said. Dean gave Bayley a smirk.

"Breakfast is ready." Maria shouted from downstairs. Dean and Bayley ate breakfast before leaving the house.

"Hey, don't tell anyone you stayed here last night okay." Bayley said.

"I was going to tell you the same thing." Dean said.

Becky covered Bayley up as she smiled in her sleep.

"Sweet dreams, kiddo." Becky said as she kissed Bayley on the forehead.
