Roman slowly opened his eyes. He looked over and saw Seth flipping through the channels on the television.
"Seth?" Roman quietly spoke out. Seth turned his head to see that Roman is awake. Seth smiled and went over to him. He leaned down and gave him a kiss on the lips.
"Baby, I thought you were at the library." Roman asked. Seth pulled the chair up to Roman's bed and sat down next to the bed. Seth grabbed Roman's hand and kissed it. "I got a text from Dean and I immediately came here. How are you?" Seth asked.
Roman smiled at him. "Really sore." Roman looked around the room. "Where's my mother?"
"She's talking to the doctor. They're releasing you tomorrow." Seth said.
"Has she talked to you?" Roman asked.
"No, why?" Seth asked.
Roman took in a deep breath. "She found your boxers on my floors and asked me who they belonged to and I told her about us."
"I thought you wanted me there." Seth mentioned.
"I did, but you were in Sacramento for your swim meet. I was actually going to tell you tonight because she wanted to take us out for dinner tonight." Roman said.
Seth blushed. "I can't believe that I left my underwear in your bathroom"
"I can't believe your cute big butt can fit into something so small.
Seth playfully slapped Roman's leg. "You love that cute big butt."
Roman lifted himself up and moved over. "What are you doing? You're in pain."
Roman tapped on the spot next to him. "Come sit, we're going to find something to watch."
"Well, how are we feeling Roman?" The nurse said, as she walked in to check on him.
"Well, hello Nurse Kelly!" Roman said.
Kelly smiled at Roman. "You must be Seth." Kelly said. "You're picture is in his wallet."
Seth looked down at Roman. "You have a picture of me in your wallet?"
"Of course baby, why wouldn't I?" Roman rhetorically asked. Roman then placed a kiss on Seth's shoulder.
A knock was placed on the door and Kelly, Roman and Seth looked over.
"Hi," the man said.
"I'm Officer Chris Jericho."
"I'm Kelly Souray. I'm Roman's nurse."
"I need to talk to Roman about the accident. We need to file a hit and run report and see if it has been linked to driving under the influence." Officer Jericho said.
Chris pointed to Seth. "Son, were you in the car with Roman?"
"No, I wasn't." Seth replied.
"I'm going to need you to step out for a few minutes, so I can talk to Roman," Chris said.
Seth nodded. He kissed Roman on his forehead and left the room.
Chris closed the door behind him.
"Okay Roman," Chris started.
"Tell me exactly what happened."
Roman came out of the gym. It was eight in the morning on Saturday. Roman went to get a work out in because he missed practice yesterday. Roman was on his way to get some breakfast and then rent a movie for him and Seth to watch that night. Roman's mom is taking them out for dinner because she found out about their relationship and wanted to show her son that she supports him.
Roman looked at his phone and saw a text from Seth that said he was on his way to the library and cannot wait to see him tonight. Roman put his phone down and put his seatbelt on. He checked his mirrors and then turned on his car. Roman was about to back out of the spot when a black BMW comes up and runs into the driver's side of Roman's car.
"Did you happen to get the license plate number?" Chris asked.
"Yeah, it was an Arizona plate. The license plate was 814-POY2." Roman said.
"Did you happen to get a look at the person driving the car?" Chris asked.
"All I saw was that they had short black hair." Roman responded.
"Okay Roman, I'll do what I can with the information that you gave me. Take care and I hope your recovery is a quick one." Chris said. The officer shook Roman's hand exited the room. A few moments later, Seth came back in.
He went over and sat back on the bed with Roman.
"So, are they going to find him?" Seth asked.
"I hope so. The tag was from Arizona."
Seth sat up and looked down at Roman. "I'm from Arizona."
"I know," Roman said. Roman grabbed Seth's hand and kissed it. "Maybe you know them" Roman joked.
Seth knows who it was and he wants to tell Roman, but he doesn't want Roman to think that he's still in contact with Randy.
Roman tugged on Seth's hand. Seth looked down at Roman. "Kiss me," Roman said.
Seth leaned downed and kissed Roman. Roman wrapped his hand around Seth's cheek and kept his lips pressed against Seth's lips. Seth climbed on top of Roman and continued to kiss him. A few seconds later, Roman grabbed at his rib cage. Seth quickly got off Roman.
"Okay, well I will come back to see you later. I'll let you get some sleep, so we can watch our movie later tonight." Seth said. Seth gave Roman one last kiss, before leaving his hospital room.
Seth walked over to the elevator. He pulled out his phone and called the number that called him a month ago.
"Hi Seth" the voice said.
"Leave Roman alone. He didn't do anything wrong."
"He won your heart and Randy wants to win your heart back."
"He had his chance and he blew it…besides, he cheated on me with you and I hate you both."
"Aww come on, you don't mean that."
"Yes I do. I hate Randy and I hate you."
"You leave my boyfriend alone. You got it." Seth said in a threating manner.
"Whatever you say Seth."
Seth hung up the phone and got on the phone. Seth needed to tell Roman that Cody Rhodes is the one who did it. Does he risk the fight with his boyfriend in order to save his boyfriend, or just let all this stuff happen so Roman doesn't think that Seth keeps in contact with his ex?
Seth left the hospital and drove home. He pulled up into his driveway, when he saw Alexa getting ready to go on a run. She smiled brightly and waved over at Seth. Seth adores Alexa. She's sweet, bubbly and always has a smile on her face. Whenever Seth is down, she can always cheer him up.
Alexa came over towards Seth and then gave him a hug.
"How's Roman doing?" Alexa asked
"He's getting better. He's very sore. A few bruised ribs and a few cuts and bruises." Seth replied.
"Don't tell him, but the cheer squad is pitching in to get him something." Alexa said.
"Ooh, what is it?"
"I can't tell you, because it's something he can use for you." Alexa said and then smiled.
"Oh lord," Seth said and then blushed.
"Hey Alexa, can I ask you something?" Seth brought up, switching the conversation.
"Sure, what's up?"
"If you know that someone is hurting someone you love, but you're too afraid to tell them because you're afraid to see their reaction and they'll think that you're talking to that person and they don't like that person." Seth said.
"Seth, if you know who hurt your boyfriend, you need to confess. Roman may be pissed that your ex is contacting you, but he'll be happier that you are safe from harm and that your ex is locked up." Alexa said.
"Well, my ex didn't hit Roman."
"Who was it then?"
"My ex's boyfriend…my ex best friend."
"You need to tell the police and Roman. Roman will forgive you, but you'll never forgive yourself if you don't say anything." Alexa said.
"You're right. I rather have him safe and fighting with him than hurt and no fighting with him."
"Cody, I told you not to hurt Roman. I just wanted to talk to the guy, not actually hurt him." Randy said.
"Well, I wanted to hurt Seth, by hurting something he loves." Cody replied. "Besides, Seth won't have the guts to say anything because he doesn't want Roman to think that you two are speaking again."
Randy sat down on the chair in the hotel room.
"You know, I don't know why you would say that you want Seth back when I'm here." Cody added.
"Well, you were his best friend and you knew he liked me and you still slept with me." Randy replied.
"What happened in the past happened. I can't change that, but you still like him, but I don't think he likes you back." Cody replied.
"I just need to talk to him. If he tells me to go, then I will."
Seth walked into Roman's hospital room with his computer and a few movies. Roman smiled at Seth when he walked in.
"Hey baby," Roman said. Roman put his tray on the table and pushed it away. He moved over and patted the bed. Seth moved onto the bed and kissed his boyfriend.
"You're late. I thought you weren't going to come." Roman joked. "What movies did you bring?"
"I stopped by the precinct to talk to officer Jericho." Seth said and then kissed Roman again. "I brought Forrest Gump, Jaws, and How to lose a guy in 10 days. I know it's a chick flick, but—"
"What do you mean that you stopped by the precinct to see officer Jericho?" Roman asked cutting off Seth.
"Well, I kinda know who hit you..." Seth said.
Roman quickly sat up, grasping his ribs. "What are you talking about?"
Seth took in a deep breath and began to explain.
"For the last month and a half, I have been receiving phone calls from this guy, who I used to be friends with and the reason I used to be friends with him is because he slept with Randy."
Seth took in a breath and continued. "I received a phone call that Randy was looking for you. Apparently the Ortons are coming to visit soon."
Roman grabbed Seth's hand and held it. "Ro, I'm not talking to him. I don't know how Cody got my new number, but I couldn't live with myself if I didn't tell you. I would rather fight with you and have you safe, then have you not safe and not fight with you."
Seth moved down to snuggle up next to Roman.
"I love you Roman and I don't want you to get hurt." Seth said and then kissed his cheek.
"What did you say?" Roman asked.
"I don't want you to get hurt." Seth repeated.
"No, before that."
Seth hesitated before repeating those three words. "I love you."
Roman sighed. "Dammit"
Seth quickly sat up. "What? Do you not love me back?"
"No…wait…yes." Roman faltered
"I was going to tell you at Homecoming in two weeks. I had it all planned out." Roman added.
Seth smiled and gently hugged his boyfriend. "So you do love me?" Seth asked to be sure.
"I'm not saying it until Homecoming." Roman said.
Seth kissed Roman on the lips. "Well, I love you."
Roman smiled and kissed Seth back. "Still not saying it until Homecoming."
So, I changed the ending a lot and I'm 95% confident with this one!
Sorry for the late update!
