Author's POV

Steph stood there in shock as she looked at her ex boyfriend. This love of her life. His bruises were gone off of his arms, he still looked the same but not like he got into a accident in the first place.

"This isn't real..." Steph muttered to herself.

"Congratulations, champ." He offered a small smile. It sent shock waves through her body to hear his voice again.

"Thanks. But why're you here?" Steph asked clearly annoyed a but happy to see that he's doing good health wise.

"What, you don't wanna see me?"

"Honestly no, after the shit you pulled at the hospital when I was the one there for you and where was AJ, hm? Fucking your best friend and then she left like a little bitch and now she's with Punk. I don't see why you're standing in front of me right now Jonathan. Last time I checked you wanted nothing to do with me." Steph growled standing up trying to walk away but Dean grabbed her arm. At that moment she wanted to fall weak and hug him until the end of time.

"Steph wait, let me explain myself." He sighed staring into her eyes. Dean was gullible and she knew that.

"There's no need Jonathan. You showed your true colors already. No need to rub it in my face and bring it back up." She muttered blinking back the tears.

"I'm sorry Steph. I thought about it, trust me I thought long and hard about you and I while I was out of the ring and in recovery. Seth and Roman snapped at me every single day, telling me his stupid and idiotic I was for letting you go like that. Trust me I'm so sorry. I apologize for leaving you out there. I regret it all. I regret - giving up on you the day I went to Seth's house to talk to you. You were the only one there for me while I was dying she wasn't! I know that. I totally understand where you're coming from. I-I just didn't want to believe it . But I should have because I knew no matter how much we fought or disagreed you'd always be there for me , and that's what I need in life." He stopped, clearing his throat.

"You're the only thing I think about before I go to sleep, and when I wake up and going through another day of recovery. I want you next to me cuddling up to me, telling me that you love me and that I love you every second, acting like weirdos not caring who was around. Playing x box and cheating to win. You holding my hand and clinging to me like it was the last time you'd ever see me. I want to be next to you when I'm on my death bed. Baby I miss you. I want you. Nothing could replace you steph. I can't, I can't do it.  Please come back to me. I need you with me. I love you." He explained a few tears rolling down his cheek.

Steph sniffled and began to cry, giving up her tough act.

"H-how do I know when you and I come to a disagreement, you won't leave me again?" Steph stuttered as he took a step close to her.

"Trust me. I need you so why would I leave? Hell I'm an idiot for leaving you the first time."

"It took you three months which felt like an eternity for you to reconnect to me? You didn't even call, text, send Seth or Roman to talk to me, why?" Steph questioned.

"Because I wanted to see you myself. I wanted to tell you myself that I was wrong. Plus I was scared of your response . I was afraid you'd give up on me instead because of the idiotic shit I pulled. I fucked up. Not Roman and Seth. I'm a man, and I wanted to talk to you myself because I can own up to what I did." He confessed.

"Dean no matter how much I hate you I'll never give up on you. I'm positive I proved that for four months at the hospital, well and our whole time we've been together." Steph spoke as the rain began pouring down but neither one of them cared. Steph felt the hot tears rush down her cheeks.

"Plus you left this behind." He whispered pulling out the promise ring he gave her.

"You promised you would never take it off and after what I did I knew you would. I found it in Seth's car." He held it right in front of Steph's face making her gasp. She didn't remember taking it off. She slowly took the promise ring from Dean's hands and stared at it.

"I love you so much. I'm so -

Steph cut him off by jumping into his arms hugging him tight. She wheezed and tugged at his shirt missing his touch, she cried against his shoulder as Dean wrapped his arms around her waist and hugged her back with to the same emotion.

"I love you so much Jonathan." Steph whispered against his neck, smelling his mixture of cologne and slight sweat.

"I love you too Steph." He whispered back as her and his clothes got soaking wet. They stared into each other's eyes and softly connected their lips together. The sparks instantly flew as they were finally able to kiss or touch each other again. Their tongues hungrily yet passionately wrestled with each other's as Steph moaned against his mouth.

After five minutes they finally pulled away. Dean's forehead rested against Steph's as they admired each other and smiled big. They both had to admit this was one hell of a ride but they were just to happy to not think about the bad things and soak in the good things instead.

Even on their worst days they stuck by each other.

Even on their sunny days something had to make it dark. But they stuck by each other.

Only a real relationship has issues

And only a real relationship nows how to overcome the biggest obstacles

And stay together.
