Psychological Scars (Dean Ambrose Fanfic) Sequel to Ten Tonne Skeleton.

Learning to live again - Part 20

Seth was still in the hospital, but was told by the doctors that he would be released in the afternoon. Before he could leave, he had to answer some questions from the police officers who were running his disappearance case.

The two police officers who were sat next to his bed weren't very intimidating, but Seth knew that they would be annoyed if he didn't answer their questions.

"Mr Rollins, could you tell us what you remember from the night you were taken?" Officer Malcolm asked.

"Um, I had just got home from the bar. Someone was in my house. At first I thought it was Dean, but obviously it wasn't." Seth sighed. "The man grabbed me and punched me a few times, before dragging me out of my house and into the woods behind my garden, where his car was."

"Did you try to escape once you were outside of your house?"

"Yeah, he was pulling on my jacket, so I took it off and ran but he caught up with me and that's all I remember from that night." Seth felt a bit shaken up. He didn't want to relive that memory.

"We think we found your jacket during our search, it had your DNA on it." Officer Malcolm said, as the other officer wrote down some notes.

"Oh cool." Seth replied, not knowing how to continue on the conversation.

"Mr Ambrose helped us find you. He had a big impact on the search, if it wasn't for him we wouldn't have found you. He was the one that told us about the house in the woods."

Seth frowned at the mention of Dean. He didn't care for the older man anymore.

"The house belonged to a man called Sami Callihan. Was that the man who took you?" Officer Malcolm asked.

Seth wasn't sure whether to answer the question or not. He remembered the threat that Sami had told him. He knew what the man was capable of and he didn't want Dean dead, but at the moment he didn't care about anyone but himself and Kevin II.

"Yes, it was." Seth murmured.

"We thought so. Thank you for your time Mr Rollins, we wish you a speedy recovery and we will keep in touch throughout this investigation. We have a good team so, hopefully Sami will be caught and thrown in jail as quickly as possible."

"Thank you for helping me." Seth smiled.

"No problem, it's our job." And with that, both officers left Seth.

A few hours later, Seth was released from the hospital with a prescription for painkillers. He made his way to Roman's hotel room to collect Kevin II and then he headed home.

Chills ran up his spine as he walked through the front door. Memories of that horrible night haunted him and he was constantly paranoid that Sami would be there to take him again.

Seth made sure to lock all of the windows and doors. He closed the curtains and checked the house, thoroughly to make sure no one was there. After searching every room, Seth snuggled up with Kevin II, on the sofa and turned on the TV. 

He decided to watch RAW. Seeing people that he knew on the TV, comforted him. Within thirty minutes the paranoia had left.

Dean and AJ arrived at the arena for the SmackDown taping, in the early afternoon of Tuesday. Dean had briefly met Luke and Karl before and they got along well, but now he was nervous to see them again. 

AJ wanted to tell the two men about his and Dean's relationship, since they were really close. Almost like brothers. Dean didn't mind this, but he was worried about the outcome. He didn't think that Luke and Karl would be happy about their relationship, as Dean didn't see himself as a likable person.

AJ reassured his lover that everything would be fine. He knew that his friends would approve of his relationship.

The locker room was empty when the two men arrived, so AJ decided to get changed into his ring gear before heading to catering with Dean.

All of the wrestlers were in catering, including Roman, Luke and Karl. The nerves really started to kick in once Dean saw the three men. AJ guided Dean over to the table that his friends were sitting at. Roman saw Dean and decided to come and sit with him.

"Hey man, what's up?" Roman asked.

"Not much, what about you?" Dean replied.

"Just been working." Roman smiled.

"So um, me and Dean have something we wanna tell you guys." AJ announced to the group, catching his friends attention.

"What is it?" Luke asked.

"Well, we've kind of been getting really close lately, but the other night we made it official. We're dating." AJ replied.

"That's great man, congrats to both of you." Luke smiled, giving AJ a pat on the back.

"Yeah he's right." Karl commented. "I'm glad you two find happiness in each other."

"Thanks guys." AJ smiled. 

Dean felt as if a weight had been lifted off of his shoulders. AJ's friends were okay with them dating, which made Dean feel extremely happy. He was now nervous about what Roman would say. He turned his head to look at the Samoan, only to find a big smirk on his face.

"I knew there was something going on between you two, Jey owes me ten bucks." Roman laughed.

"Wait, you were betting on us?" Dean was shocked, but also laughing.

"Hell yeah! It was obvious that you guys were head over heels for each other, but Jey didn't believe me. It was an easy way to make cash if you ask me."

"Well, I'm glad our relationship got you ten bucks." AJ giggled.

"So am I, but seriously, I'm glad you two are together. It's about time you started dating, I've been waiting for months. At one point I thought I'd have to force you to confess your love for each other." Roman smiled.

The rest of the conversation was entertaining for Dean, he didn't know he could have so much fun just by talking to people.

Dean was left alone in the gorilla, watching his friend's matches on the monitor. The night had been good so far, but it was about to go downhill.
