SETH POV:

''No, I'll be fine. Look, the quicker I get this done, the quicker I can get back to my girl'' I heard Roman saying in the back of the emergency van.

''While we appreciate that sir, on quick examination you appear to have pretty bad bruising round your skull area, this is always a dangerous place to get injured, so as a precaution we really must insist that you have someone come with you'' the EMT guys were saying to him.

''Look, there's no one alright! My girl and my best friends gone home, so can we just do this please?''

''I'll go!'' I quickly volunteered.

Now before we go any further, let me put to rest what all of you are suddenly thinking...which is no. I'm not planning on messing with Roman in any way shape or form. But I owed him and Faith for all the good that's been happening in my life recently, plus it was kinda my fault for Curb Stomping him so hard in the first place...even though I still say he made me do it, ha! So in the end, I guess this was the least I could do.

''Are you god damn kidding me right now?'' he yelled ''get out of here Seth! I would trust Charles Manson, more than I would ever trust you!'' he snarled.

''Yeah, well he's not here right now, so you're stuck with me buddy'' I said, hoping up into the van with him.

''Seriously, get out Seth! You're not coming! He's not coming!'' Roman protested to the EMT's.

''We uh, we gotta a lot of history him and I, but we're also staying in the same hotel tonight, so I'm happy to tag along and make sure he's alright.'' I told the EMT guys.

''Thank you sir, that's very kind of you. Mr Reigns, we really should get going so we can check you. And while it might not be my place to say, but I think you should take your friends advice and have him come along with you'' they said.

''Fine! But he's not my friend!'' Roman huffed.

1 HOUR LATER...

''I swear, two months ago, if anyone had told me I'd be sitting in a hospital bed, with Seth Rollins by my side, I would have just laughed in their face'' he said.

''Yet here we are'' I smiled.

We were silent for a moment, while waiting for the specialist doctor to come along. When we were out of sight of the arena, Roman had told truthfully the doctors about his condition, and they became very concerned over his well-being.

''Look man, I know you hate me, I would too, but despite everything that's happened...I just want to say to your face how truly am sorry for what I've done...for all of it. We were friends for such a long time and I miss that, I miss talking with someone....I miss talking with you'' I told him, and realised I was being very vulnerable right now, but this may be one of the only times I would ever get to talk to Roman alone like this, and in case you're all wondering, everything I was telling him was the absolute truth. I missed our friendship, and deep down losing that killed me more than anything.

He didn't say a word, he just sat staring at the wall.

I to just sat there, just thinking how crazy this entire day had been.

I thought back to when I was in my car this morning, and that odd feeling I had gotten, I think it may have been some kind of warning...maybe like a premonition.

My thoughts were interrupted though when Roman finally spoke...''Was it bad?''

''Was what bad?'' I asked.

''The way I hurt Faith...tell me again what happened'' he said.

''You sure? I don't want you getting all mad again'' I said.

''I can get mad at you all I want Seth, and there's not a damn thing you can do about it! Now tell me what happened'' he snapped all grouchy at me.

I took a deep breath and told him the entire story again in detail, until he put his put his hand up to silence me.

''I've heard enough'' he said ''oh man'' he sighed ''how could I have done that to her...why would I have done that to her? I'm a fucking animal!'' he said, holding his head in his hands.

''No man, I'm the animal. You had no control over what you did. But I know she forgives you, and I know she...-''

''You can stop talking now. You know nothing about her. In fact, let's just drop this altogether.'' he sighed again.

''Yeah, sure thing'' I said.

Moments later, the specialist Doctor came in and examined Roman from head to toe. He had Romans eye sewn up, before doing some X-Ray, scans, blood tests on him, then finally checked Romans medication he was taking.

''Ok Mr Reigns, you appear to be alright for now, the scans show some swelling just above the eye area, but nothing to raise concern about. What I am concerned about though, is the dosage on this medication. In my professional opinion, especially doing what you do in your profession Mr Reigns, I highly suggest you up your dosage, by at least another 100mg''

Roman sighed again in frustration.

''Now I want you to try these, they will make you extra drowsy at first, but that only lasts until your body gets used to them, then you can continue to take them with no problem. These are enough to cover you for a full 24 hours, without having to take any extra as a precaution. Let's see how they go first ok, then if you happy with them, come back I we will re-do your medical prescriptions ok.''

''Ok Doctor'' he sighed.

''Alright son, now let me go get you some water so you can take you first batch tonight. Is this your friend?'' the Doctor asked looking over at me.

''Yes sir, I'm his friend.'' I said.

Roman didn't protest this time.

''Good, he will need you to look after him when he gets home. I will have our EMT team drop you back to your place of residence, but then after that, it's up to you to make sure he's alright.''

''Will do Doc. And thank you'' I smiled.

''That's quite alright son.''

He returned 5 minutes later with a cup of water for Roman, giving him 15 minutes to adjust, sign papers, and slowly get up from the bed.

We were met by the same EMT guys who had driven us down, and they carefully guided the now very drowsy Roman back inside of the van. I hopped in the back with them, and we all headed on to the hotel.

******

''Here we are'' I said when we finally we reached.

''Where's his key?'' asked the medical staff.

''In my...back pocket'' Roman mumbled.

They held Roman up while they fiddled around and got his key.

''Oh be careful!'' one of the guys said.

''I got him! I got him!'' the other said, grabbing Romans arms which had slipped lose from round his shoulder, causing Roman to stumble slightly.

''Here let me'' I offered.

''You ok buddy?'' the EMT's were asking him.

''Mm hmm...I just wanna lie down...'' Roman mumbled again.

I opened the door, then waited patiently while they took Roman inside...

Poor guy, not something I would ever want to live with, that's for sure. The whole time we were in the hospital, I felt like an asshole for blackmailing him over his condition. Tonight was a real eye opener for me, I actually got to witness first hand, just what it was like to have to suffer with the condition he had. No one deserved that, least of all him. He was a good guy, and I was a jealous jerk.

After a few moments, the EMT's came back out, and very gently shut the door behind them.

''Ok, let the patient get some rest now'' they said.

''If you guys have a schedule tomorrow sir, may I suggest that you give your friend a call, because he's gonna be out of it for at least the next six hours'' they told me.

''Of course, no problem man.'' I smiled ''And hey, thank again, guys did a really amazing job tonight'' I smiled.

''Your welcome sir, and thank you. Have a good night now'' they said, before turning and going back down in the lift.

''You too.''

I turned and began walking down the hall...man, what a night!
