XOXO

Everything was a complete blur of events as nurses and staff members raced around the entrance of the hospital door attending to the unconscious body on the bed that was connected to a breathing mask. Doctors were pacing up and down as Stephanie McMahon and Hunter Levesque were walking alongside the moving bed.

"Ma'am, Katy West will be needing immediate attention in ER, which means you two will have to stay back in the waiting room." A young nurse stated as she held a clip board and pen in hand.

Stephanie exhaled as her eyes were slowly flooding with tears. Her mind only focused on the image of Katy being rushed into the closed off section of the hospital, allowing all sorts of thoughts to ignite in her mind.

Hunter nodded as he held Steph's hand in support as he saw her tense up.

"What is the relationship between you and Katy?" The nurse asked as she started to write with her ballpoint black pen.

Stephanie looked toward Hunter before looking back at the medical staff. "Family friend.. very close family friend." Steph said as her heart was racing. There was no doubt that with the horror that Steph was facing, she was way more than a friend to Kates. If anything, Katy was more as a daughter in their eyes. Kates meant a lot to Hunter and Stephanie, it was like she became their on road daughter. They loved her, and seeing her in the condition she was in was enough to have Stephanie's motherly instincts up the roof with fear.

"She will be okay." Hunter said as he looked back to his wife, and kissed the back of her hand. He rubbed his thumb over it soothingly as he tried to convince himself that Katy was going to walk out of here fine. Hunter was always the positive type of guy, but the mere image of what Katy looked like had him beyond worried. However, he knew that sometimes cuts and bruises may appear a lot worse than what they really are.

"Where is she?" An English accent shouted loudly as the entrance of the hospital swung open. Everyone in the room staring at the raven haired beauty whose face was leaking with worry. Paige scanned the room as she felt like her world was stopping for a minute. The fact that Katy was hurt, and Paige was not there to help her made her feel like she has failed to be her friend that was meant to guide her in the right path.

"Paige." Hunter said as he came up to the diva who finally recognized him through all her panic.

"Hunter, thank God. I felt like I was going to faint if I was here alone? Is she okay? What did they say?" She rambled as she looked back and forth from the married couple.

"They said she needs immediate attention in ER, and we have to wait until they clear her for visitation..." Steph said with an emotionless expression, her mind still wandering of all the possible problems that could be happening to Katy.

"How did she look?" Paige dared to ask.

Stephanie just shook her head as tears finally escaped her eyes. With that one question finally being asked, and the sight of Katy's bruised and battered body coming back to her head, her mind broke down.

Paige bit back a sob as she realized the silence and tears from Stephanie was enough to know just how bad Kates was. The raven diva wiped her eye with her index finger as she tried to stifle back her cries. Hunter wrapped Stephanie around his arms as he rubbed her back soothingly as the busy scenery of the hospital continued to play out, however, for the few in the waiting room, it felt like the time was frozen in a dark hour.

Roman sat in his black Range Rover as he watched the entrance of the hospital. He clenched his hands on the steering wheel harder as he remembered exactly how the incident took place. All he could do was feel like this was all somehow his fault. If he was to have went after Katy, maybe she wouldn't be in the hospital. He punched the middle of the wheel with anger as he let out his frustration. Never once in his life did he want to see Katy, the fragile beauty, in a hospital for something that was so easily avoidable, all he had to do was walk. Walk a few more steps to grasp onto her, and tell her not to leave. Call her name for her to stop in her stride for at least a few seconds, so that the car that was speeding could have passed by already. All the what ifs were starting to slowly take over Roman's mind, and all he wanted to do was blame himself.

He got out the car door, and walked toward the hospital. He needed to see her, and no one was going to stop him.

Paige looked up from her seat as she wiped away the remaining tears on her pale face. The doors of the hospital flew open with a rather large and tall being entering in. His hair out, and covering his face as if he was in the ring, his muscles being clung onto by his tight black t-shirt, and his tattoo easily giving away his identity to anyone who was acquainted to him.

"Who the hell do you think you are for coming here?!" Paige shouted aloud not caring who was near. As soon as she saw Roman, her anger was about to blow up. She has not seen this man prior to when he had broken Katy's heart, which was probably a good thing considering she was ready to kill him with any given second.

"Paige, I am not in the mood, so I suggest you keep it shut for the both of us." Roman snarled as he looked over to the goth.

"Since when do I have to follow what you say Mr. Samoan. You think that just because you are so good looking, you can do whatever the hell you want like break my best friend's heart you pathetic piece of shit!" The anti-diva screamed making Stephanie and Hunter jump up to stop the argument.

Roman chuckled as he crossed his arms. Nothing that Paige could say can make Roman aggravated since his heart was basically stone cold at this point. Seeing Katy in the state she was in with his own two eyes was enough for his heart to get frozen along with his emotions, and the only person with the ability to melt it was the grey haired beauty herself.

"Paige! This is not the time or place to pick a fight! We are here for Katy, and I suggest you keep yourself together or I will have you sent back to the hotel regardless of your relationship with Katy! This is not how Kates would want us reacting toward each other. Whatever drama you two have spewing will need to come to a pause for now. Got it?" Stephanie lectured as she got in between the two superstars.

Roman threw his hands up in defeat. "Fine with me." He said before he went to take a seat on the opposite side of the room.

Paige growled under her breathe before exhaling hard for the Samoan to hear. She took back her respectful seat, but her eyes were still locked on to Roman as she sent daggers his way.

3 Hours Later

The hours seemed to go by slower and slower as time went on. Seconds felt like minutes, and minutes felt like hours. Either way, Stephanie, Hunter, Paige, and Roman were in no hurry to leave.

"Hello, is this the party for Katy West's visitation?" The same nurse from earlier asked as she walked over to where Hunter, Stephanie, and Paige were seated.

"Yes." Roman said from behind the nurse as he walked over, clearly inserting his name onto that visitation list.

The nurse turned around, and almost fell over by just how breath taking the man in front of her was. "Oh, I am sorry. What is your name sir?" She asked as she tried to keep her eyes on the paper in hand.

"Roman… Roman Reigns." He said as he paid no mind to the googly eyes he was receiving. He only had eyes for one female, and it was the one laying in one of those rooms.

"Relationship?" She asked as she arched an eyebrow as if she was asking for her own personal info.

Roman paused for a moment as he realized that if he wanted to see Katy before everyone else, he needed to say something other than a friend. "Boyfriend." He stated making Paige open her mouth to say something, but her warning from Stephanie made her shut it rather quickly.

The nurse who was now at slight disappointment, turned around and smiled. "Well due to the relationship differences here, Roman will be the first to visit." She said before turning back around to face Roman.

"Right this way sir." The nurse stated before taking the lead to the deeper parts of the hospital. Roman followed right behind as he dodged the many staff members that were invading the halls. All you heard were monitors peeping, doctors chatting, visitors crying, and doors constantly opening. All Roman could think was how could he have let Katy get herself in here when he had the opportunity to save her.

"Okay, here we are. First this is first, Katy is still under IV sedation, so she is still asleep. She may not respond for the next few hours since she had surgery for a broken rib. Keep all voices to a minimum, and Dr. Kim will be in momentarily to go over her medical examinations with you."

Roman nodded to the nurse as his eyes were already peering into the opened up door revealing a Katy connected to a breathing mask. Without one slight hesitation, he walked in allowing him full view of her tainted perfection.

She had a few bruises on her face, her hair was disheveled, and her skin looked pale, but yet she still kept a glow of innocence to her as she laid there in the patient gown.

"Katy.." Roman said as he walked over to her bed slowly before pulling a seat next to it. His heart was racing as if he was talking to her for the first time. All he felt was the tears threatening to pour out of his ash orbs as he listened to the monitor peep occasionally. "I am so sorry.. God.." He said as he held onto her one free hand that was placed on her chest. He held it close and gently as he placed it against his chest.

"Even when your in this state, you still have my heart racing..." He said as he gently laid his hands on top of his chest to feel the beats of his heart. Roman looked down as he felt a tear slip out of his eye. Seeing Katy's body so lifeless was enough for his emotions to break free from the chains they were in earlier. All he wanted to do was confess.

Roman breathed in as he kept his eyes locked on her face. "I just wish I was there to stop you… Stop you so that you wouldn't be here right now. I wouldn't care if you would still not be speaking to me, but just to know that I could of saved you from all of this." He said before looking around the room. "Is enough to make me hate myself...Seeing your beautiful body lifeless on that cold street made me realize that my feelings I have toward you isn't fake. It is all real. It is not infatuation, but it is love. From the moment I laid my eyes on you in that catering area was the moment I heard the heavens speak to me that I have met the one. The one who whenever I lay a single glance on can make my day better, the one I see myself with, the one I can envision a whole future with. I know I hurt you babygirl, but I am so sorry. If I was able to prove myself just how much you mean to me, I would. I just hope that once you are out of these walls, you can forgive me because I will never stop trying until you do. Everything about you is beautiful from the grey shades of orbs we share to the way you blush uncontrollably when I kissed you that day. You are a blessing in this world babygirl. I am so sorry..." He said before kissing the back of her hand, and holding it close to his lips for yet another tear to slip from his eyes.

All Roman wanted to do was just stay there with her, and never leave. His protective being coming out just to want to hold and nurture Katy back to herself just so he can see that smile he was head over heels for. All it took was this very incident for the Samoan to realize no one else could ever sum up to what was blossoming in his heart for the woman in front of him, not even Jamie.

"Excuse me.. I am sorry to interrupt, but I am here to speak with you Mr. Reigns." Dr. Kim said as she walked in with a warm smile as she closed the door behind her.

Roman nodded as he got up, and placed Katy's hand back on her chest gently before turning his attention to the doctor.

"So from the information here, it says that you are in a relationship with Ms. West, is that correct?" Dr. Kim questioned as she spoke directly to Reigns.

Roman knew that was a lie, but he couldn't go against his words from earlier. "Yes ma'am."

"Okay, great. Well thankfully Ms. West is going to be fine. She has suffered a fractured rib on the right, and a slight concussion, but the results show that it is nothing to major that a few nights of long rest, and pain medication can not fix. I will prescribe her pills, and have you take them with you for when she is ready to be discharged. Now is she staying with you or does she have a home alone?" She asked as she continued to take notes.

"Uh, no she lives alone.." He said as he looked back to Katy who was still asleep and high on painkillers.

"Okay, well she will need to be with someone for the next few weeks until the concussion aftermath is over. She should be fine by tomorrow for a discharge. She will just be a little fatigued…. I will let you finish up here for another minute, I will go and inform the other visitors of her results. Have a nice day Mr. Reigns, and I will have one of my nurses take your information down as her pickup information for when she is discharged tomorrow." Dr. Kim said before walking out of the room.

Roman looked back to Katy before kissing her head softly. "I will take care of you… I promise you.. once your out of here… I will never leave your side.." Roman said as he reluctantly turned around. This was his promise to Katy, and he knew he was going to keep it even if she wanted to stand miles away from him.

"Your time is up.." Paige said as she looked at a standing Roman. Her attitude still clear as day.

Roman nodded before walking straight past Paige to the waiting room where Stephanie and Hunter were speaking with Dr. Kim.

"So basically, anyone who Katy is very familiar with will do. I don't know the scheduling for your business, so I will allow you to discuss this matter on who Katy stays with for her recovery." Dr. Kim said as she kept a professional tone.

Stephanie nodded as she listened to all the words attentively, her mind still running on overdrive on how Katy is, and now with this whole situation of who tends to her was just another load of added stress.

"Thank you Dr. Kim. I will let you know our decision before we leave." Hunter said as he decided it was best for him to be the voice for his wife.

"Great." Dr. Kim said before letting her eyes roam to Roman. "Oh, Mr. Reigns. I have the medication listed for your girlfriend, Ms. West, to take. All the instructions are listed down below. Please keep up to date with it or whoever is tending her." Dr. Kim said before handing Roman a yellow sheet of paper. He let his eyes skim over the large medical terms, and already felt like he was going into nursing school.

"Not a problem." He said before smiling lightly to the doctor.

"How does she look?" Stephanie finally mustered up as she looked toward Reigns.

"She has some bruises, but nothing too crazy." Roman said as he sugar coated his words not to startle Steph anymore than she already was.

"Roman, I think you will have to take care of Katy…." Hunter blurted out as he thought about the WWE's upcoming scheduling.

Roman's eyes bulged out for a little as he turned toward Hunter with Stephanie following.

"Hunter, I don't think that is a good idea." Roman stated knowing how Katy and him left things off. If it was up to Roman alone, he would of already brought Kates back to his home in Las Vegas, but he was just afraid Katy will be too upset to even want Roman tending to her.

"Listen, we don't really have a choice. WWE has the European tour coming up, and Paige has lost a lot more television time than we expected, and she plays a pivotal point in the upcoming storyline. You however aren't booked for the tour because of the storyline with Seth, who is still staying in the country. We can grant you some off screen time as if you are on injury. Please Roman, I really don't have another choice here. Steph and I would take her, but we have to be on the tour too." Hunter explained as he talked man to man with Roman.

Roman nodded as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"You guys can go in now." Paige said as she walked over to the group unaware of the decisions being made.

Hunter nodded to Roman before taking Stephanie's hand, and walking toward Katy's room leaving Paige, and Roman alone.

Roman felt the awkwardness building up, and decided it was best to call it a night. "Tell Dr. Kim I will be here waiting to pick up Katy tomorrow morning." Roman said knowing this would annoy Paige very much, a perfect way to get back at her for her earlier words.

Paige clenched her jawline tighter as she heard that, but she remembered Stephanie's warning leaving her just to nod.

Roman chuckled lightly before walking out with a huge smile on his face. Tomorrow he will be taking care of Katy West, his angel.

The alarm clock was blaring next to an already awoken Roman, who was cleaning up his room as if it was the first time he was having a female over. He hit the snooze button before folding the final sheets on the bed.

"Okay, soothing candles, plush sheets, remote, neck rest, and fresh white roses in a vase….. Thank God for Google.." Roman said as he mentally checked all the post surgery relaxation materials that he found online.

Roman was beyond nervous, but more so ecstatic. He did one final check around the house before grabbing his car keys. Today was going to be a good day.

Katy looked at the nurse who was working speedily around the room to make sure everything was completed for Katy to leave. Kates was in honest shock to know where she was when she had awoken from her slumber. She has never had surgery before, and the aftermath was way worse than just groggy as people would say. She looked down to where they had inserted the IV in her arm, and let her hands run over it. A slight feeling of sensitivity coming to her senses. The same feeling she got whenever she touched her cutting wounds. She looked over to them to see that they were healing up nicely, and she was beyond happy. Sadly, she still had bruises to worry about, but they were the ones on her face. They weren't terrible, but they were more so unappealing.

Katy sighed as she shook her head. She could not believe she had got herself in this mess. All she really remembered was that she went to a bar, saw Roman, and then it was all black.

"Goodmorning Ms. West. It is time for you to discharge out of this sad place." Dr. Kim said as she smiled happily to Katy. "Here is your medical report. I sent an extra copy to Stephanie McMahon for wrestling record circumstances. All we have to do is have your boyfriend sign your papers, and you should be on your way."

Katy arched an eyebrow as she heard that one word. "Boyfriend?"

"Uh, yes Ms. West. Mr. Reigns. He came last night, and took a generous amount of time to talk to you when you were asleep. I can't even remembered the last time I have ever witnessed a boyfriend speak such beautiful words to a girlfriend. He really did pour his heart out." Dr. Kim said as she admitted she had eavesdropped a little.

Katy couldn't help, but blush even if she didn't want to. She smiled as she looked down to her medical wristband as her stomach went into butterflies.

"Anyways, I will get him to sign the papers. He will be here shortly."

"Wait he is my pick up?" Katy said loudly as she was now nervous and in shock that he was going to be the one to take care of her. Yes, she was in awe to hear that he poured his heart, but it doesn't change the fact of what happened before the accident.

"Yes, he is… I will have Carol bring the wheelchair for you. I hope you have a quick recovery Ms. West." Dr. Kim said swiftly before walking out of the room leaving Katy in her thoughts.

Roman sat in the waiting room with a million things running through his mind. All he could think was how would Katy react when she sees him. Would she have no emotion, smile, or just give him a cold shoulder. All these things were pacing the Samoan's head as the seconds went by.

Katy was wheeled into the waiting room as she let her grey orbs scan the room quickly letting it come to a halt as she spotted Roman who looked deep in thought. She let the nurse roll her over to him as she felt her heart rate speed up with every circular motion of the wheel.

"Mr. Reigns." Carol the nurse said as she smiled to the Samoan, snapping him out of thought.

Roman jumped as he turned to his left to be introduced to the same nurse who had the eyes for him last night, and Katy who had her eyes glued to her hands that were fiddling with her nails, avoiding his stare.

Katy felt her cheeks go red as she felt his familiar strong stare. She knew she was not in a shape to call herself pretty or attractive, at least in her eyes. She felt gross and disgusting in her hospital gown, and the fact that Roman was going to see her with zero makeup on was embarrassing. She was always insecure about herself to begin with, but now she felt terrible about herself.

"Thank you for you taking her out.." Roman said as he got up, and took the wheelchair. He could see that Katy was going to avoid him, and he did not blame her.

"Not a problem Sir." Carol said as she blushed uncontrollably making Roman chuckle awkwardly. Katy took note of the nurse's goo goo eyes, and felt a pit of jealousy hit her stomach.

"Can we go to the car please.." She said quickly as she tried to get away from the nurse who made Katy want to try some new wrestling moves on her.

The nurse nodded before letting Roman roll her out of the hospital. Today was going to be a long day Kates thought as she looked down still. She just wanted to get herself rested up.

The car ride was just as awkward as the encounter at the hospital. Roman just prayed that things got easier between the two because he really could not stand this amount of silence between them.

"Okay, so you can take the master room." Roman said as he rolled the wheelchair into the grand doors allowing Katy to look at the huge room that was furnished with luxury items making her sit there in awe. The whole room smelt like home, and the bed looked like a huge cloud.

"Where will you stay?" Katy finally spoke as she looked over to him, her first eye contact with the familiar shades of grey.

"I will take the couch. Its fine, you need to get yourself better..." Roman said as he rolled her over to the bed. "I don't really know much about what makes you relaxed, but I got a few things I read online.." He said with slight embarrassment.

Katy bit back a smile as she looked at the set up of the room. He really did try his best to make her feel at home, which reminded her of what Dr. Kim said. It made her wonder what did Roman say when she was asleep.

"If you need anything, just let me know." He said as he looked down to Katy who was still playing with her nails nervously. It killed Roman to see her so timid next to her. He hated how she got uncomfortable, he just wants her to feel safe with him.

"Well, I need to get out of these clothes." She said as she looked down to her unappealing gown.

"Of course, I will get you an oversized shirt. It will be easy for you to change in and out of." He said as he walked over to the dresser and pulled out one of his black shirts that would swallow Katy.

He handed it over to her delicate hands before realizing that Kates would need her privacy, but yet she will still need his help.

"How are we doing this?" He asked as he looked at her nervously.

Katy's eyes bulged out as she realized she didn't think this through. "Just get me up on the bed, and I should be able to the rest. If I need help I will let you know."

Roman nodded as he helped her steadily out of the wheelchair, and aided her onto the bed. "I will be outside the door waiting." He said as he turned around and walked away reluctantly.

Katy nodded as she watched him walk out. Kates slowly took off the gown allowing her eyes to come to the bandage on the side of her hips that were stained with blood. Instantly she was horrified to know she had this big scar on her body yet she was unaware of it. The painkillers clearly were working wonders, thankfully the surgery wasn't anything major. Katy turned around to see a huge side mirror looking back at her, and all she felt was her insecurities. Who was she kidding? With all the makeup in the world, scandalous clothing, and fakeness, she will always feel ugly. As she looked over her new cuts on her face, she let a tear fall. All she felt was what she felt when she was younger. She felt gross, and now with all these disturbing cuts, she felt disgusting in her own skin making her break out crying. No matter how much she tried, she always felt like garbage. It was like the nasty comments made to her when she was younger was a spell used on her to hate herself in every way. Just when she thought she was coming to see herself in a new light, this whole incident had to happen, and all she wanted to do was hide and cry.

Roman heard the sobs, and instantly ran into the room to see Katy crying into the black shirt with a black bra on along with her bandage on her sides. "Katy.." Roman said cautiously as he walked over, but she quickly covered up her body with tears coming down her face.

"Don't look at me! I look like a horror movie scene!" Katy sobbed as she held the shirt close to her body as she cried some more.

Roman stood there in disbelief as he heard what she was saying. Katy may have some bruises on her body, but those were nothing but temporary wounds. Even with them, Katy West was still the most beautiful and unique woman he has ever witnessed.

"Katy.. stop crying." Roman said as he walked next to the bed. "Look at me." Roman ordered as he looked directly toward her. Katy resisted at first, but she heard the dominance through his voice, and knew she had to obey.

Katy looked up locking eyes with Roman letting her feel like she was in a trance.

Roman took Katy's hands in his as he rubbed the back of it soothingly. "Katy West, from now on, those words are not to come out of your mouth. The word horrific and your name should never be associated with each other because that is the last thing you are. If only you see what I am seeing right now…. Honestly, all I see is beauty. Beauty in every angle… every aspect. Your perfect. You may have a few minor bruises, but they just make you even more unique and amazing to me. Your eyes are pools of perfection, your smile can make any ones day in a split second, your body is flawless… your just perfect Katy. Beautiful in every way, so stop saying your a 'horror movie scene' because that is literal bullshit." He said as he looked into her eyes, not breaking contact as he watched tears spill out of her eyes.

Katy felt her heart race as she listened to Roman. She felt like she was in a dream. The words Roman were using to describe her were never once told to her before in her life. She felt beautiful even with no makeup on. Even with the new scars that were created to go along with her cutting wounds, she felt pretty. She felt of use. Katy looked down to her their hands making Roman pick up her chin with his other hand.

"Eyes on me beautiful.." He said locking their eyes together. "Now I want you to get yourself some rest." He said before kissing her forehead as he turned to leave, but Katy pulled him from leaving.

"Please stay.." Kates said as she held his hand. Roman felt his heart leap in his chest as he heard that.

He nodded as he helped her put the t-shirt on before getting into the bed on the other side, keeping a good distance between him and Katy.

Roman watched as Katy eased herself into the plush sheets of the king sized bed. As he watched Katy's eye lids slowly come shut, he realized everything right before his eyes. All the reasons for her cutting, all the reasons for her terrible past is all because she felt like she had no self worth. It became clear to Roman that she needed more than just aid in her physical health, but in her mental, and Roman was going to make sure that Katy felt how she was suppose to feel, which is beautiful in every way.

A/N: So Roman finally put the puzzle together. That hospital scene had me very emotional too. *sobs* I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter since it is the primary set up for the next few chapters.
