A gunshot rang out in the room and Paul fell to the floor dead. Seth looked over at Paul's dead body numbly. Nothing mattered anymore without Roman. He felt a hand on his, but kept his eyes on Paul's body.
"Baby Boy, are you okay?" Roman asked as he turned Seth's face to look at him.
Seth's eyes were teary as he looked at Roman. "Am I dead too?" Seth asked as he looked at Roman's ghost.
Roman kissed Seth on the forehead. "No. We're both alive." Roman lifted his shirt and showed the bullet-proof vest he was wearing with three bullets sticking out of it.
Seth started crying again and Roman cut the zip-ties off Seth and pulled him into his arms. Antonio rushed in with his gun drawn and sighed in relief when he saw that both Roman and Seth were okay. He went over to Paul and checked for a pulse, finding none.
Roman felt Seth slump in his arms. "Antonio, help me with him." Roman said, standing Seth up. "I think he passed out."
They carried Seth between them with one arm over each of their shoulders up the stairs. Roman picked Seth up in his arms and Antonio opened the door for them and walked with them out to the SUV. Roman buckled Seth into the passenger seat and got into the drivers seat.
"I'll stay here and take care of things with the authorities." Antonio said as he closed the door after Roman.
"Antonio." Roman said through the open window. "I don't know how to thank you for everything you've done for us."
Antonio thought for a second. "Find out if Seth knows that hot singer Aksana so he can set us up on a date."
Roman laughed. "Will do."
Seth opened his eyes slowly and looked around the room. He saw soft grey eyes looking at him and smiled. "Have I ever told you that I love you."
Roman laughed and leaned forward to kiss Seth gently. "I love you too." Roman said when he pulled away.
"Why am I in the hospital?" Seth asked as Roman passed him some water to drink.
"You don't remember passing out on me?" Roman asked sitting down and holding Seth's hand.
"No." Seth said squeezing Roman's hand back.
"You're okay now. It was just stress mixed with whatever drug he pumped you with." Roman said as he looked deep in Seth's eyes. "You'll be good to go soon."
Seth jumped as the door burst open as Dean lead the rest of the band and Glenn into the room. Dean hugged Seth hard and Xavier pushed him out of the way so he could have a turn hugging Seth.
"You really scared us man." Dolph said as he took his turn hugging Seth.
"Sorry about that guys." Seth said as he looked at all his friends.
"Not your fault." Dean said. "We're just glad you're safe."
"Hunter must be pissed that we missed the concert last night." Seth said.
"Kind of." Glenn said. "He was pissed and worried. In fact we have to leave soon to go to the next venue."
"Really?" Roman asked in shock. "He's in the hospital after a traumatic experience."
"It's okay." Seth said patting Roman's hand. "I want to get back to my normal life as soon as possible and try to forget about this whole week."
"You're not cleared to leave the hospital yet, so we will go in the bus without you and you can drive there on your own." Glenn said as he ushered the band out of the room with a chorus of 'Good Byes' and 'Get Well Soons'.
"I almost forgot to ask." Seth said to Roman. "Is Jey okay."
"Yeah, just a concussion." Roman answered absently. "He's already resting back at the hotel."
"Good. I was worried." Seth said noticing Roman wasn't looking at him. "What's wrong, Baby."
Roman sighed. "When you said you wanted to forget this week, did you mean me too?"
Seth was shocked. "Never. You're the best thing that ever happened to me."
Roman gave a breathtaking smile as he climbed up onto the hospital bed with Seth. He lay on his side with his arm around Seth's waist and his head on Seth's chest and cuddled into him tightly. Seth smiled and put his arm around Roman's back and cuddled him right back.
