*******************************************

[KIRAN POV]
Dean still had his hand wrapped around mine. While adjusting himself in his seat, he happened to notice the bruises on my wrists.

"Kiran — what the fuck happened to your wrists?" He grabbed hold of my arms and closely inspected the bruises. There were dark purple-reddish finger marks where Roman had his grip on me.

"It's nothing, just bruises from working out..." He kept staring at me.

"Stop covering up for him and just tell me the truth, what happened back in the room?"

I was not about to ruin things for Dean and Roman so I told the partial truth. "He was grabbing at my wrists when I told him I was leaving."

"Asshole...." Dean mumbled under his breath. He still had my arms in his hands, looking at the finger marks that were running up my forearms. "You know what Kiran?....This looks like he was doing a lot more than just grabbing your arms.....you wanna tell me the whole story?"

I didn't know what to say. He could see right through my lies. I didn't want to relive the last few hours again so I pulled the sleeves back down and curled up into him. He draped his arm over my shoulders and rested his face on my head as I leaned against his chest and drifted off to sleep.

[DEAN POV]
Something wasn't right. Kiran was hiding something from me. I had tried asking her a few times about her and Roman's arguement, but she was just vague about it. It sucked to see her hurting so much and I couldn't do anything to comfort her.

>>> fast forward a few weeks

[DEAN POV]

It's been a few weeks since Roman and Kiran had broken up. Honestly, I missed them being together and having the three of us hanging out and rooming together. The only times I saw Roman was when we went to the gym. Other than that, I'm mostly hanging around Kiran because every time I leave her alone, trouble always seems to find its way to her. They needed a good amount of time away from each other, especially because at this point, Kiran still held her stance and refused to give any details about their fight.

It was one afternoon when Kiran and I walked into the same gym where Roman also happened to be at the same time. I didn't want Kiran getting upset because it took her so long to just start getting better. I was thinking about turning around but it had taken me forever to convince her to come along in the first place, so I had to just go along as planned.

[KIRAN POV]
As we walked into the gym, I scanned the room for an empty space for us and my eyes immediately stopped by the bench press and weights. Even though he had his back facing us, there was no mistaking Roman with his tatted sleeve and the man bun he would do when he was working out. He was busy with the dumbbells, not even taking notice of his surroundings. I hadn't been around him in quite a few weeks, even at work. I had confided in Dr. Amann and told him that it was not healthy for me to be around Roman for a little while so he would take care of anything relating to him. I wanted to keep things professional so I avoided Roman any chance I could at work.
