HATE THAT I LOVE YOU

FORTY EIGHT

Steph's POV

My heart dropped as I looked at Dean on the hospital bed hooked up to every single machine they had. Dean got into a car accident. He was hurt badly. Luckily, small but not severe head trauma, bruises everywhere though. Broken leg, broken ribs, broken neck, and ankle. They said there's a fifty percent chance he will make it and the other fifty he won't.

They said if he did live he couldn't compete for almost a year. I knew stubborn Dean wasn't gonna listen. He just underwent surgery but they don't know if he's waking up anytime soon. We've been here for seven hours and it was getting late.

Vince had gave us enough time we needed off and I accepted that of course.

I sat in the chair in the waiting room with my face buried in my hands crying my eyes out sobbing, not caring who heard or got annoyed by it. I felt someone rub my back. I shook my head and let it out even more.

"Dean is a strong guy. I'm sure he'll be strong for us. Especially you." Seth whispered. I shook my head.

"No. You don't understand Seth. He came over and told me that we were done. But that doesn't matter. I just want him to be okay." I sobbed. Seth sighed and pulled me to his chest as him and Kaitlyn hugged me tight. Roman was comforting AJ who was also crying.

"I can't do it without him Seth." I sniffled.

"I'm sure he didn't mean that Steph. I've never saw him so in love with someone before. He loves you trust me."

"I don't t-think so Seth. I just need him to be okay." I wiped my eyes.

"Don't say that. I still have faith in you two."

I sighed and shook my head once again. I wish this was all a dream right now. I feel it's my fault. Dean drove thinking about me I'm guessing , he was distracted and he lost focus. I began to hyperventilate and cry louder. Seth pulled me out of the waiting area and into an empty room. He pulled me to him and hugged me tight as I rested my head against his chest.

"I'm so sorry Seth. I never meant to make Dean stress. It's all my fault ."

"No it's not Steph. Don't blame yourself." He whispered. I sighed and didn't say anything and just kept crying. A knock came to the door and in came Roman.

"Seth we gotta go. Doctors orders. He said we can come first thing in the morning."!Roman spoke. Seth nodded.

"Come on." He grabbed my hand and I felt weak to my knees.I fell down and laid there. Seth cursed and picked me up bridle style and carried me to the car. I buried my face through my hands through the whole ride not saying a thing.

Soon enough me, Kaitlyn and Seth went to Seth house while Roman and AJ went to his house. Seth carried me in while Kaitlyn locked the door and went to shower. He laid me down on the bed and rubbed my back softly.

"I'll be on the couch." He whispered kissing my cheek and walking out. I sighed and clutched onto the pillow until I cried myself to sleep.

The door opened and I looked up and saw Dean standing there angel like. I slowly sat up and looked at him.
