Victim Of Love [On-going]

Just to see you smile

A week passed and the three of them were now sitting in Dean's car outside a house that caused Seth's anxiety to skyrocket. After a long conversation a few days prior, Seth had decided that he wanted to go back to the house that he once shared with Randy so that he can collect some of his belongings that were still there. The police had confiscated everything that was on Randy when he was in custody, but most of Seth's treasured possessions were still at the house that he hadn't stepped foot in for almost three months.

''We don't have to do this'' Roman said as he turned the key, killing the engine. ''We can just turn the car around and go back''

Seth was sitting in the backseat staring out the window while Dean was sitting beside him holding onto his hand

''I've got too'' Seth replied, not taking his eyes off the house in front of him ''If I don't then I'm letting him win''

Roman and Dean understood where Seth was coming from, but it still didn't make the situation any easier to deal with. They both hated seeing Seth so distressed and they just wanted to make him feel better in any way they could.

''If you're sure, then we're behind you 100%'' Roman assured

''That's right'' Dean added. ''We won't leave your side, I promise''

Seth finally looked away from the house, gazing back and forth between the two men. ''Let's get it over with''

An overwhelming sense of dread came over Seth as he approached the house. Everything about the place was bringing back memories he would rather forget. Everything was a trigger. The rooms brought back memories of arguments and endless hours of torment. The furniture reminded him of how many nights he'd spend laying on the couch crying. Even the smell made an unpleasant sensation settle in his stomach. Seth was pretty sure that without Roman and Dean being there with him, he'd be a quivering mess on the floor and would probably leave without getting anything he came for. After just over an hour, the three of them left the house with a large duffel bag and a suitcase full of Seth's belongings. The drive back was quiet, and Roman and Dean had swapped places. Dean opting to drive the three of them back to their hotel so that Roman could sit with Seth for a while.

''I still think you should have let me start a fire'' Dean announced, cutting through the silence

''I don't see how getting arrested for arson would solve anything Dean'' Roman argued

''It would've gotten rid of that asshole's clothes though wouldn't it'' Dean replied as he chanced a look at the two men in the rearview mirror

Roman chose not to reply, simply shaking his head instead. Seth was in a daze, staring out of the window, unable to focus on anything as Roman rested his hand on his good leg.

''You alright?'' Roman asked softly

''Yeah'' Seth replied, dragging his eyes away from the window for a second as he looked at Roman. ''It was just a lot''

''I know'' Roman replied. ''But it's over now and you never have to step foot in that house ever again''

''That's right'' Dean added. ''And next week you get to see your mum''

Seth's expression instantly softened as he thought about going home. His mum still lived in the same house that he grew up in and although his house wasn't that far from his mums, he still loved going there. It was his home and always would be.

''Are you worried?'' Dean asked as she chanced a look behind him

''Worried?'' Seth asked, confused

''Yeah that your mum might try to steal me away from you?'' Dean explained. ''From what I can remember, she's pretty fond of me.''

Roman snorted loudly ''Man you're not half as charming as you think you are''

''I beg to differ. The older ladies love me!!'' Dean's heart swelled as he heard Seth laugh. Mission accomplished, he thought with a smile.
