The Shield One-Shots!

Love Hurts Pt7/Ambreigns

Dean Ambrose; one third of The Shield, walked through the quiet park alone. The night was cool, causing him to do up his leather jacket, as he walked through the almost deserted park. He sighed, as he found a bench and sat down, he was exhausted and sore after the match he and his two best friends...brothers and Shield stablemates Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns, had that night against The New Day. Unable to sleep though Dean decided to go for a walk to clear his head.

Dean loved both his brothers and was so grateful he had both of them in his life, but truthfully he was scared of Roman! Dean and Roman had dated for four years, they were so happy and in love. Months ago, everything changed when Roman began to drink, at first it was only a drink or two after work, but it quickly got worse and he drank all the time.

Dean and Seth were worried about him and tried talking to him, but at first he refused to listen to either of them. Until after a fight with Dean, Roman apologized and promised him it would never happen again, he'd quit drinking. He broke his promise though and his drinking turned him into a monster towards Dean; he began to verbally and physically abuse Dean all the time. Seth hating what Roman had become, stood up to him all the time for Dean, telling him off, but even then he still refused to listen. One night Roman attacked Dean, but Seth saved him and ended the relationship between his brothers, before he took Dean to his room. Roman tried to get Dean back, but Seth wouldn't let him anywhere near Dean, except when they were at work.

Roman continued drinking and eight months ago Roman caught Dean alone in the hotel parking lot and convinced him to go for a drive to talk. Dean agreed, but on the drive they ended up fighting, which caused them to crash the car, Roman wasn't seriously injured, but Dean was. Dean woke up in the hospital a couple days later, with Seth by his side and no one knew where Roman was. Dean slowly healed from his physical injuries with Seth's help, but his emotional ones to this day still haven't healed.

For two months after the accident no one knew where Roman was or even if he was okay! Both Dean and Seth were worried, they both missed and still loved him; especially Dean! They had no contact of any kind with him and Hunter had told everyone he was out with an injury. Three months ago Dean and Seth received a call from a Doctor Stone, telling them Roman had been in rehab this entire time and he had beaten his drinking problem. Both his brothers were so proud of him and had gone to see him. They had spent the day with him, they talked and Roman apologized to both his brothers and they accepted his apology. Dean told him that he still struggled to let go of the hurt and wasn't ready to take him back...he might never be. Roman accepted it, knowing he had caused too much damage for a simple apology to fix.

It's been three months now since Roman got out of rehab and returned to the WWE. Even though both his brothers are happy to have him back, Dean's still terrified of Roman, he tried so hard to move on knowing Roman's a different person. The hell Dean went through because of him though was something he couldn't forget and relived every time Roman raised his voice or fought someone in the ring. Making things worse, was the date he went on with Roman two months ago, which only confused the hell out of him! Even though he was still scared of Roman, that night had been the first time in months that he had felt completely at ease with Roman. The connection and love between them still there and as strong as always, this was the Roman he had fallen in love with...was still in love with. They ended up kissing and Dean was completely torn between his love for and fear of Roman, he told Roman how he felt and Roman understood. He was so confused, he wanted to give Roman a second chance, but the fear of being hurt again was stopping him. His thoughts were interrupted by his phone ringing, he quickly wiped his tears away, as he took it out of his pocket, before smiling he answered it.
