Thank you for the reviews!
I hope that everyone has enjoy this story. I apologize for the long delay, but this is the last chapter. I wanted it to be perfect. I hope that you all enjoy it.
I sighed as I looked outside. Dean and I had talked until 11:30 that night and I had just told him to stay in the guest bedroom. I couldn't figure out what to do. I knew that I had Cesaro and he was my best friend, but I couldn't deny that I still and would probably always love Dean. He had been the one person that I had always clicked with in life.
I grabbed some water and glanced at the clock. I knew that I needed to sleep soon, since it was now well past 2 am. I had already emailed that I would be working from home the next few days since I did still have to deal with the mess I was currently in. I took a sip of water and went to sit the glass down, but missed. I couldn't catch it as the glass shattered all over the kitchen floor. I groaned and knew that I had probably woken Dean up. He was a light sleeper. I tiptoed over and turned on the light. I grabbed the broom and started to clean up. I was picking it up when I stood up to find Dean standing next to me. I gasped because I wasn't expecting him and a piece of glass slipped out of my hands. I caught it out of reflex as I felt it slice through my thumb. I hissed at the contact and dropped everything.
"I didn't mean to scare you. I heard the crash and wanted to make sure that you are alright." Dean said and I sighed. I started to clean up again, but saw red dots appearing on the ground below me. I knew that I had cut my thumb, but when I finally looked at the cut it was much worse than I had expected. Dean saw it and grabbed my hand as he pushed a dish towel onto it.
"Let me see it." he said and I shook my head.
"I will be ok. Don't cut your feet." I said and Dean shook his head. He lifted me up and sat me on the counter. He pulled the towel away after a second and looked at my thumb.
"Come on, you need stitches." he said and I groaned. I didn't want to go to the hospital. I just wanted some sleep.
"I will be fine." I said and Dean shook his head no.
"Percy, you are really hurt. I am taking you." he said and I looked at him. He was very serious and I could hear it in his voice. I knew that I probably needed stitches, but I just didn't want them. He brushed some hair out of my face and I was caught in his eyes. I couldn't understand why I did it, but I kissed Dean. He was surprised, but quickly pulled me closer to him. He was intoxicating. He was perfect. I realized what was happening and quickly broke the kiss.
"I am so sorry." I mumbled and Dean leaned his forehead against mine.
"I wish you wouldn't apologize for doing what you want." he mumbled and I sighed.
"Let me take you to the hospital and I will leave you alone." Dean said and I looked at him. He looked tired and weary. I wanted to tell him that I didn't want him to leave, but I just couldn't make the words come out. I caught my ring in my sight and knew that Cesaro was my fiancé. He was whom I was supposed to be with, not Dean.
"Fine." I said and he nodded. We got some better clothes on and headed to the ER. My towel was now covered in blood and I was freezing cold. Dean helped me into he waiting room and I was leaning on him as we waited.
"You didn't have to cut yourself if you wanted to be in my arms." he joked and I smirked.
"I couldn't think of a better way." I said with some sarcasm and he kissed my forehead.
We were called back and they immediately cleaned my hand. I had to get 16 stitches and some pain meds. I was just happy when it was all over with. Dean held my hand and helped me the whole time. We drove back and my phone was dinging when we got back into the kitchen. I had left it at home while we were at the hospital.
"Is everything ok?" Dean asked me and I sighed.
Cesaro had texted me because Roman had told someone that Dean had come to see me. He wanted to know the truth. I had missed numerous text and calls.
"Did you tell anyone you were coming here?" I asked him and he ran his hand through his hair.
"Roman and Renee knew... why?" he asked me and I shook my head.
"Cesar found out. He has gotten to the point where he assumes that I have cheated on him." I said and I saw Dean's face drop.
"I just wanted to talk to you. I didn't mean to actually ruin your relationship. I wanted to ruin it, but I care for you. I couldn't do that." he admitted and I nodded.
"Can you not believe that I am happy?" I asked Dean and he looked at me. I saw his eyes glistening and knew that this was a conversation that I had wanted to avoid, but had to have with him.
"I can make you happy." he said as his voice cracked. I had seen Dean in many different aspects, but this was Dean at his most vulnerable. I had tried to convince myself that I didn't want him, I had tried to convince myself that I didn't love him, and I had wanted him to find better. I thought that in all of that I would move on and find better.
He looked at me and I realized that he had gotten something out of his pocket. I looked at what he was holding and he had a beautiful ring between his fingers.
"I bought this the moment you broke up with Seth. I wanted nothing more than to give it to you as a promise ring. I wanted to promise you the world, or whatever you wanted. I wanted the promise you that I would take care of you, that I would love you like no one else ever had, and a promise that I would never hurt you because you were my soul mate." he confessed. I didn't realize it until I felt the tears streak down my face that I had started to cry.
"I just wanted to promise you forever, Percy." he said and laid the ring down on the counter.
"Now, I just want you to promise me that you will be happy, even if it's without me." he said and I couldn't look at him. I couldn't do anything but let the tears fall from my cheeks. He turned and walked out of the room. I let myself pick up the ring and look at it. It was beautiful; it was a platinum band with a small princess cut diamond, and small diamonds on the band. I felt an indention on the inside of the band and looked at the inside. Mine was in the band. I felt tears fall harder as I heard him walking towards the kitchen.
"Bye Percy." he said from the hallway and I wanted to stop him, but I was just sobbing into the countertop. I know that he didn't hear me as he closed the front door. He was gone. I knew at that moment what I wanted.
Dean POV
I didn't want to leave Percy, but I had go. I had done what I wanted to do; I told her how I felt. I wanted her to know. I had never meant to ruin her relationship with Cesaro, because it meant that I hurt her. I was calling a cab from her driveway when I heard footsteps coming up behind me. I turned in time to see Percy running to me. I grabbed her as she flung herself to me.
"I do love you." she sobbed and I knew that everything was going to be alright. I didn't know how, but we were going to be fine because we were together.
AN: That's the end of the story. I hope that you all enjoyed this story. Thank you to everyone who read, reviewed, followed, and favorited it.
