Curtis watched as Seth drove off and turned his attention to his teammates.

"You guys ok?"

"Yeah…" Kaitlyn replied weakly. "Just a popped shoulder. It's nothing to worry about."

"I'm so sorry Kat." Ryback apologized in a small voice. "I never meant for you to get hurt.

Curtis and Kaitlyn were stunned. They never heard Ryback sound so…sad. They were even more worried about him.

Curtis decided to change the subject, "We should get Kaitlyn to a doctor."

"Yeah, we should." Ryback agreed.

"I'm fine guys. Really, I am."

Curtis was hearing none of it and picked Kaitlyn up, threw her over his shoulder and made his way over to the rental.

"Put me down!" Kaitlyn squealed happily, kicking and screaming like a child.

"Not a chance." Curtis laughed. He gently placed Kaitlyn in the backseat, laughing more when she started playfully hitting him.

"Let me out!" she squealed, laughing.

"Big Guy! I need your help!"

Ryback couldn't help but laugh at the sight, Curtis trying to keep Kaitlyn in the car as she's hitting him and yelling like a child. He hurried over and got in the backseat, wrapping an arm around her waist, "We're taking you to a doctor, no further argument."

Kaitlyn pouted, "Fine, I give."

The boys laughed as Kaitlyn's hit them each playfully in the arm. Curtis got in the driver's seat, turning the car on and headed for the nearest hospital. He made sure to go the opposite direction Seth did, not wanting to confront the Shield yet, not when Roman was still very pissed off.

Ryback was taken aback, neither one of his teammates were immediately questioning him about the incident. They didn't show any anger toward him. Not even when he was carrying Kaitlyn back up the cliff, she didn't show any anger.

Kaitlyn looked up at Ryback, noticing something amiss with him, "Ry? You ok?" she asked.

"Why?" he questioned softly. "Why…aren't you guys…mad? I…I practically just-"

"Big Guy." Curtis started, "We understand what almost happened. I'm a little ticked off since your actions affect all of us. We all could be fired for this." He sighed, "But…we figured you weren't yourself you know? I could tell it wasn't you through your eyes. And once Kaitlyn fell, you snapped out of whatever trance you were in. We won't force you to explain, do it when you're ready. We're here for you."

There was silence for most of the ride after that. Ryback's mind wondered about Curtis' words. He truly didn't know what happened. Just something must have snapped in him, and it scared him. What if this happens again? And the next time, he's successful in killing one of them? He started rubbing his hand up and down Kaitlyn's back, trying to take his mind out of that image.

"I…" he hesitated, "I…really…don't know what caused all that." He then took a deep breath, "I…I guess…my jealously…just got the best of me."

"Ry…" Kaitlyn sighed.

"I want us to main event the shows, you know? I want us to be up there, with the big names. But…we'll never get there with the Shield in the way. Seeing them in the spotlight…I guess…set me off. I figured that the only way for us to be there was to get rid of them."

"…Why Dean first?" Kaitlyn asked.

"…Felt he would be the smartest to go after first. I feel WWE is taking pity on him for his rough upbringing and that's why they push him. Roman and Seth seem to guard him a lot. They always baby him and I figured that with him gone first…the other two would crumble easily."

"They always act that way around him." Curtis said. "When something happens to Dean, or any of them for that matter, the other two go into a panic. Remember when they first lost Dean?"

Ryback nodded, how could he forget? Roman and Seth tore the entire hotel apart looking for him. Apparently, Dean woke up in the middle of the night and decided to take a walk outside or something. Seth woke up at some point after Dean left and realized he was missing. They called everybody, asking if they saw him as they checked everywhere in the hotel. After about an hour or so, Summer Rae gets back to them, saying she found him fast asleep on a bench across from a bar.

"They were so worried about him." Kaitlyn commented softly. "They assumed the worst. Luckily Summer spotted him."

"I…remember…getting so pissed that night." Ryback mumbled. "I was exhausted after a tiring show and just wanted to sleep. Roman and Seth's voices were booming through the halls and it aggravated me more."

There was silence for a brief time, each person in their own thoughts. Curtis broke it after a while. "Can we circle back to how Summer stayed with Dean?"

Kaitlyn laughed, "Honestly, it was kind of cute seeing the two of them like that that night."

"You were there?" Ryback asked.

"Yeah, me and AJ were coming out of the bar when we spotted Summer with Dean on the bench. She looked around in a panic is seemed, and Dean looked so adorable with his head in her lap fast asleep. We went up to her and asked what was going on. She explained that she found him laying on the bench and worried about leaving him alone. She knew Roman and Seth were looking frantically for him so she called Roman back and said she found him and will stay with him until they arrive. I snuck a picture as we were leaving; it's still on my phone."

"Who would have thought Summer as the caring type?"

"She must have developed it from somewhere. I don't remember her ever acting like that."

"Maybe she wants to attract Dean?"

"Please, neither have an interest in each other. I overheard a conversation once where Summer said that she has no romantic interest in him. She did comment that he's a handsome looking man."

"He strike your fancy Kat?"

"Oh no no no." she laughed. "I mean, he's cute and all, but not my type."

"Was going to say, thought you would be more of a Rollins girl."

"You're just saying that because he and I used to have similar hair!" she said, laughing

"…Maybe…"

"Shut up!"

"Although," Ryback started, chuckling, "I thought you would be more of a Reigns girl. You're both powerful and have the same finisher."

Kaitlyn's face reddened more, "Stop it guys!"

All three erupted in laughter. Ryback knew what they were trying to do with the subject of Kaitlyn's love interest, and if he was being honest, it was working. He looked at Kaitlyn's smiling face; her laughter was like music to him. When she met his eyes, he quickly turned away, blushing.

Kaitlyn looked over at him, worried when she saw the blush, "You alright?"

"Yeah…"

Kaitlyn didn't believe him, but decided not to question further. Curtis soon pulled into the hospital parking lot. Once he parked the car, Ryback got out, pulling Kaitlyn into his arms.

"Ry, I can walk." Kaitlyn giggled.

"…I like carrying you…" he mumbled so quietly Kaitlyn almost missed it.

All three entered the hospital and a nurse quickly ushered them into a room. Once the nurse was done checking Kaitlyn's vitals, she left the room to get the doctor. Curtis noticed Ryback deep in thought.

"You ok Big Guy?"

"…"

"Ry?"

"What if…the thoughts come back? What if…I do…kill them?" His body started to shake, fear filling his body. He suddenly felt his head being pulled. It landed on Kaitlyn's shoulder, her soft hand curling behind his ear. He felt another hand on his shoulder, squeezing it.

"Big Guy," Curtis started, causing Ryback to look at him, "We'll help you. Talk to us man; voice your concerns to us. If we need to, we'll try therapy. We won't let you go through this alone."

"We'll be with you every step of the way." Kaitlyn chimed in. "We won't let you go through this by yourself."

Ryback looked at her, then at Curtis, smiling. He's so lucky to have their support. He wouldn't know what to do without them.

"…Thank you…"
