A/N: I decided that I shouldn't make this any longer than I have made it as it is the ending and I didn't want to overdo it. Apologies if this is a disappointment, but I thought it would sound much better this way!

The author's note at the end will be longer, as I shall just let you read the story, now. Enjoy!

I'll Save You

Chapter Eight - Happiness

Randall Orton, aged twenty, was arrested earlier this week after being reported for multiple cases of physical and sexual abuse by two brave individuals; Seth Rollins, aged sixteen, and Emma Dashwood, who has just turned seventeen. The police immediately went to Orton's apartment after being given the address, where they made a successful arrest.

When sent to court, the man did not try to deny his actions, and pleaded guilty to at least eight counts of rape, and countless times of physical assault. He has been given a minimum of twelve years imprisonment and is strictly forbidden to come into contact with either teenagers. His friend, Paul Levesque, was also given four years imprisonment for being involved in one count of rape.

"You completely took advantage of a young boy's struggles with his problems at home for your own personal pleasure, and even went on to try to do the same thing again to a girl. Your actions are unforgivable," the judge had commented. Indeed, they were unforgivable. Seth Rollins was just fifteen when he and Orton first met. It was on his sixteenth birthday when he was kicked out of his own home and had no other choice but to go to his partner's home. His parents had been contacted, and both stated that they had no clue that Seth was in a relationship. They thought that their son would go and live with a friend.

"If we had known any of this would have happened, we would have never asked him to leave," his father had said. "I truly thought he would be safe."

However, Mr and Mrs Rollins weren't successful in their pleads for their son to return home.

"No parents should make their son leave home if they aren't completely sure that they would be safe and away from harm," Seth said when we asked him about this. "If I didn't have Randy, my life would have still been made a nightmare – I'd be homeless. That's why I can't forgive them just yet."

The abuse lasted for a devastating nine months before Seth finally plucked up the courage to leave. Packing just a few belongings, he fled Orton's apartment once the man, after kicking Seth in the stomach multiple times out of anger, left. After having no contact with family, however, Seth didn't know where to go. Luck was on his side, however, when he was approached by twenty-year-old Dean Ambrose, his current partner, who was on his way to see his friends.

"I could never just walk by someone who clearly needs help," Dean had told us. "He was sitting on a bench when I saw him. Blood was running down from his lips, and there was a large bruise on his face. It was clear that someone had hurt him. I couldn't just let him go back to whoever it was who was hurting him, so I let him stay with me and my friend Roman. He still lives with me now, but I don't mind that at all. It wouldn't be the same not having him there any more."

"Dean's made a lot of mistakes in his life, but he's still a great guy," Roman said when we asked him about this. "If he had walked by Seth that day, he would regret it for the rest of his life. I personally don't mind either that Seth lives with us. He's one of the most caring people I've met. He's not just Dean's companion – he's mine, too. I count him as one of my closest friends, even though we've only known each other for just over a month. It's hard not to love a guy like him. I could never forgive Orton, or even his parents, for treating such a pure person like they did. So I have, and will continue, to treat Seth the way he deserves. I know that Dean will too. Both he and I will show Seth what love truly is."

After ten minutes of standing in bliss under the hot water showering over him, Seth turned the shower off and stepped out of it. He grabbed a towel off the rack by his side and began to dry his body. His eyes flickered over at the mirror after he had pulled on his boxers and slim jeans, and when he saw his reflection, stopped for a moment. A smile grew on his face when he realised how much he had changed for the better over the last month and a half.

He remembered the first time he had looked at himself in this mirror. Bruises were inflicted on his face, neck and torso; his ribs were painfully obvious to see; his eyes were dull and had dark circles under them. You would hardly believe that the reflection of Seth back then was the same person. Now, his body was clear of bruises and looked so much healthier. His stomach had slowly gotten adjusted to eating normally again over the weeks he had been living with Dean and Roman, and he had managed to bring himself back up to a healthy weight. He had even managed to start exercising again, for the first time in almost a year. He was hardly able to recall the last time he was able to see muscle rather than bone in his body.

Dean's confession came as a surprise. The same day he had gone to the police, he had been sat down by Dean once they returned home, and wasn't expecting the man to say what he did.

"I've been putting off saying this for the last couple of weeks, not because I am scared to admit how I feel, but because after everything you've been through, I doubted that it was something you'd want to hear. You've come so far, though, and I'm hoping that the time is right. Seth, you mean so much to me. We haven't even known each other for a huge amount of time – and yet, it's hard to imagine my life without you. What I'm trying to say is… Well, Seth, I have feelings for you. I want to show you what a true relationship is like. That is, if you feel the same way. If you don't, I understand, especially after what happened with Randy. But I would be very happy if you did."

Seth was unable to say anything for a moment, too shocked by what Dean had just confessed. It had caught him completely off guard. The last thing he expected was Dean to have romantic feelings for him.

But, it also made him happy. He had been questioning his own feelings towards Dean for a while. He felt a connection between them; nothing like how he felt towards Randy. A relationship with Dean was something Seth realised he wanted.

"I… I feel the same way. I'd love to be with you, Dean."

After those words, Dean gave Seth the most heart-warming smile. His hand cupped Seth's cheek, his eyes asking permission. Seth gave him a small nod, and closed his brown eyes as Dean leant in and gently pressed his lips against Seth's. When Dean pulled away, his smile was even larger than it was before.

"I'm glad."

At far too many moments, Seth had believed there were no reasons for him to carry on living. All he saw in his future was further abuse and pain for the rest of his life. But the one decision to leave it all behind, to finally run away from the nightmare he had been living in, made him realise that his life could be so much more than that. He had a future now, and though the past was terrible, it was something which he now knew he could move on from.

He was, at long last, truly happy, and he had Dean Ambrose to thank for that.

A/N: Firstly, thank you so much for all of your reviews on this story. Even with my long updates, you still kept with this story and I appreciate that. I'm so happy so many of you have seemed to enjoy this!

Secondly, I don't know when I will be writing a Wrestling fanfic again. I prefer AUs for this fandom, and I currently don't have any ideas for one at the moment. I may write a oneshot, but I'm not sure yet.

The next multi-chaptered fanfic I'll be posting will actually be a Pokémon one; a fandom I've never written for in the past! Recently, I've been more interested in writing for fandoms I've never written anything for. But, you never know, I might suddenly be hit with another Wrestling idea!

I always list upcoming stories in my profile so feel free to visit it at any point.

Anyway, thank you again for your support and for reading this story. I hope you enjoyed it!
