Haunted By The Past (Sami and Adrian)

Chapter 5 - Feeling Guilty

"Dean?! What happened?" Randy helped up a bloody Dean, his eyes had only just fluttered open. Blood was still pouring out of one of his nostrils. Just above his right eyebrow was split open slightly.

"Ummm... I thought I saw Corey out here so I came out to have a look, that's when one of his little cronies I guess jumped me." He replied, rubbing the back of his neck.

"We need to get that nose and eyebrow looked at." Randy took a loose hold on Deans head so he could examine Dean's face better.

"It'll be fine." He pushed Randy away.

"Dean, your nose looks crooked and your eyebrow needs stitches. We're going to the hospital, like it or not."

"Don't hold back dude. Hurt my feelings why not?"

"You'll get over it one day."

"What if I don't? What if this had scarred me for life?"

"Just come on. I'll phone Adrian when we get back to the car, I left my phone there."

"Use my hump of shit." Dean dug into his jeans pocket, where was that thing? That thing, where is it? He checked his other pocket and then his back pockets. "Mines gone."

"What do you mean gone?"

"It was in one of my pockets. I know it was..." Dean began to stumble.

"Dean? Stop messing around... Dean?" Dean suddenly lost his footing. His eyes fluttered shut. "Dean?! WAKE UP! Shit, now your definitely going to the hospital."

Randy picked up a lifeless Dean bridal style and ran for the car. He laid him gently on the floor while he opened one of the back doors then placing Dean on the backseat. He rushed around the car to get into the drivers seat. He pushed the steering wheel and shouted that it was his fault, he should have been keeping an eye on Dean. He began driving, he grabbed his phone and called Adrian.

"Randy, everything ok?"

"No. No its not. I'm taking Dean to the hospital."

"Hospital? Why?" Sami looked around at Adrian the second he said hospital. Fear consumed his face. His eyes glistened with fear, you couldn't find any positive emotion in his eyes. Concern. Fear. Worry.

"Dean thought he saw Corey outside the petrol station so without letting me know, he went off to check it out. I came out after him after getting our stuff. He was lying on the floor. We were walking to the car when he just collapsed. I'm gonna take him to the hospital now. I think your closer so we'll see you there."

"Holy shit. We are on our way."

"Ok, see you soon." Randy cut off, throwing his phone wherever it went. That piece of shit wasn't important, Dean was. He needed to get Dean to the hospital ASAP.

It was a ten minute drive to get there. Sami and Adrian were stood at the entrance waiting for them. A face of pure shock, panic, worry, fear, everything flew across Sami's face.

"I need some help here! Someone help!" Randy shouted as he burst through the hospital doors.

"Bring him over here. What happened?"

"He was jumped. He's our friend. I helped him up and he was fine but on the way to the car he just fainted I guess. He started to stumble and then just fell."

"Thank you, we'll get him checked out right now, what his name?"

"Dean. Dean Ambrose."

"Just go wait in the waiting room and we'll come back to you soon with an update on your friends condition."

Randy just stood there as they took Dean away. He should have been taking more notice of Dean. He's unstable enough at the best of times, just walking about on his own. It was all Randys fault, well that's what he thought. He should have kept a closer eye on Dean. Especially knowing Corey was around somewhere.

"Randy?" Adrian spoke with the softest tone. "Come on, let's go wait in that room."

"What about Dean?"

"He's in good hands. Come on."

"Someone needs to call Seth and Roman. I'll do it now. I'll meet you there."

"Don't be long ok?"

"Yeah..." He just walked away. Adrian let out a sigh. He knew already, Randy was blaming himself. How could it be his fault? He didn't push Dean into doing anything. He didn't tell him to go and look for Corey. This wasn't Randys fault. Adrian needed to tell him that when he gets back from calling Dean's former Shield members.

*With Randy*

Randy sat for a few minutes with his phone out, his finger hovering over Seths name. What do you say? How do you say it? Oh hey! Deans in hospital after being jumped. No I don't know if he is ok. Sorry I should have been looking after him more. I should have always kept my eye on him. Sorry I failed to keep my promise to you both.

He finally plucked up the courage to click on Seths name. He was finally calling him. He put the phone up to his ear.

"Hello! Randy my man, whats up? Why you calling so late? Don't tell me Dean got pissed again."

"He... he didn't get pissed."

"What's up then?"

"He... got jumped."

"WHAT?! Oh god, is he ok?"

"We're at the hospital now, he seemed ok but when we were walking back to the car... he... collapsed."

"Where are you? I'll wake Rome and we'll come to you."

"Where Sami and Adrian live? The hospital there."

"Yep, I remember where. We'll be there in a couple of hours. ROMAN! GET UP! Sorry Rando. We'll be there soon. Hang tight."

"Will do... Seth?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm sorry."

"What for?"

"I didn't keep that promise I made. I promised to keep him safe. Look after him."

"This isn't your fault Randy. You didn't ask for Dean to get hurt. We'll be there soon."

"Ok."

"Stay strong."

"I will, see you soon. Bye."

"Bye."

Randy sat silent for a few minutes before going back inside. He picked the perfect time. Just as he walked back into the room, a doctor walked in.

"Friends of Mr Ambrose?"

"Yes. How is he?"

"He's awake."
