Saying Goodbye

 Roman took a deep breath to steady himself as he read Dean's goodbye.

  My dearest Ro,

 By the time you read this I'll already be gone. This wasn't an easy choice to make, but I needed to leave to keep you safe!

 I'm writing this goodbye to you while you sleep, because I'm too much of a damn coward to say these things to your face. Ro, this wasn't easy for me to do, I thought a lot about it for days and I knew I had to go! I couldn't let my family hurt you Ro, and they would have if I stayed! I love you Roman, I could never tell you how much, even if I could find the words! Dammit Rome, this wasn't supposed to be the way our story ended! We were supposed to get married and grow old together, but just like everything else in my life I screwed up and now I have to live with the pain of losing you!

 Ro, I never needed love like I need you! I never cared for anybody the way I care for you, hell I never wanted to share the things I want to share with you! Roman, I never lived for anybody, but I live for you! I wish I could be the one who could give you love, the kind of love you really need, but I know I'd only hurt you, I'd only make you cry! You deserve so much more than a low-life criminal like me, you deserve the world! You'll find someone who will be the one I could never be, and they'll love you better than I ever could!

 As much as this hurts now Roman, when you find that person you'll see I was right! I don't want to leave you baby boy, it rips me apart inside, but this is the last thing I can do for you! Roman, I hope someday you'll find a way to understand I'm doing this for you! I'm not the one you need, it would never work out!

 I'll think of you every day of my life, and look back on our time together as the greatest time of my life! All because I was lucky to love you! You changed me Ro, you make me want to change who I used to be, start again you know? To be a better person, to be the man you always saw in me!

 It's almost morning, almost time for me to go, but before I do I want to tell you one last time that I love you Roman Reigns. I'm sorry I hurt you, it's something I'll live with for the rest of my life! I want you to hate me Roman! Hate me today, hate me tomorrow, but hate me so you can finally see what's good for you! Roman, don't stop believing in love because of me please! That's something I couldn't live with if you did! Oh, and Roman call Seth please! Talk to him, let him back into your heart okay? He only did what he did, because he truly loves you, so forgive him...for me!

 Don't worry about me Ro, I'm tough I'll be okay as long as you are! I'm returning to my family, I belong with them! Don't try to contact me, it's safer that way! I'll never forget you Agent Reigns, and I'll never stop loving you!

                                                                    Love Forever,
                                                                           Dean

 A single sob escaped Roman's mouth as he began to cry. He laid down on the bed holding Dean's pillow tight; it still smelled like him. Dean was gone and all he had left of him were empty words on a piece of tear stained paper!

**With Paige And Seth**:

  After eating breakfast, Paige and Seth decided to go to different hotels, and show people pictures of Dean and Roman. Paige wasn't sure how to get Seth to go to The Rose Mount Inn without making him suspicious.

  After the third hotel with no luck, Paige knew it was finally time to suggest the hotel. She just needed to be careful how she brought it up!

  "Seth, I've been thinking, I know Dean and he'd want to stay hidden! He'd choose a hotel that was nice, but not flashy!" Paige said, as they walked back to the car.

  "You're right! So, we need to start looking for hotels like that!" Seth agreed. "We should ask someone."

  "No need! I already got a list of hotels like that from a housekeeper here while you were inside!" She lied.

  "That's great!" Seth said smiling, as he kissed her. "What's the first hotel?"

  "Um...The Rose Mount Inn!" She answered pretending to check her phone.

  "Alright, let's go then!" Seth said, as he started the car and they drove away.
