Turnaround

Part 36

It took about a week for Roman to get released from the hospital. After he left from there everyone drove back to his home and helped him pack his belongings for Rehab. Roman just sat there and watched everyone pack his stuff, he couldn't physically do it. He couldn't believe this was his life right now. Rehab? Really? It was a new low and now he would have to go there with all of these other people who are out of their fucking mind. But could he blame them? Life is hard and Roman didn't sign up for a hard life. Not that it would be simple in anyway but a life this hard? No way.

After packing Roman and Dean got into Seth's car together. Roman got into the backseat and watched the scene outside. Snow, snow, and more snow. Dean looked back at Roman from the passenger seat and saw the far away look he had. That definitely wasn't his Roman. Dean swallowed and closed his eyes for the rest of the ride. Behind Seth were three more cars. Jimmy, Jey, Naomi, Tyson, Dolph, and Nattie.

Roman looked around when Seth stopped the car. He saw that they were here. It was actually time. Dean and Seth got out of the car first and Roman just watched them two, he didn't want to get out the car. He didn't know if he could do this. He didn't know what would happen once he finally went through those doors. What if Dean actually leaves him? Dean hasn't said one word to him ever since they talked at the hospital about getting help. His heart was beating quickly now and he was breathing in and out fast.

Dean knocked on the window with his knuckle and opened the door. Roman whipped his head to Dean, his eyes were wide and showed all of his fears. Dean pursed his lips and leaned in to unbuckle Roman's seat belt. He helped Roman out and gently let his fist hit Ro's chest. Dean didn't miss that fear in Roman's eyes and he can certainly see him breathing fast. "Relax."

Seth, Dean, Jimmy, and Jey got all of Roman's luggage while Naomi, Nattie, Tyson, and Dolph helped Roman walk to the building. Roman held his hand over his chest and stopped. Everyone stared at him with concerned eyes. "Dean..Dean don't give up on me." Roman eyes watered and he felt like he was about to pass out. Dean gave the luggage in his hand to Dolph then quickly stood at Roman's side.

"I'm not giving up on you. But if you do this, you are giving up on me. Do you understand?" Dean hesitantly grabbed Roman's hand and intertwined their fingers. Roman's breathing slowed a bit as he felt that familiar warmth again. "You have to get help, okay? What I'm looking at is not the Roman-" Dean let out a shaky breath. "You aren't the Roman I love. When I love, I love hard. And as long as it took you to get me in to your life..Why would you wanna force me out of your life?"

"I dont..I don't want you to go away." Roman looked down at their hands and squeezed gently then look back up into Dean's eyes. For a second Roman saw the old Roman but it quickly changed back into this..This broken man. He looked so tired and so done with trying. Dean really hoped that they could get through this. he hoped Roman could get through this 2 to 3 month program. Roman sniffled and closed his eyes. "Okay. I'm ready."

Just then four men came out of the building dressed in all white. "Which one of you is Roman Reigns?" One of the men said. Roman waved slowly and they smiled at him. "We're going to take your luggage and bring it to your new room, okay? Come on in. We have some things for you to sign." The four men grabbed Roman's luggage then went back into the building.

Dean looked at everyone and smiled. "You guys stay out here. I got this." He squeezed Roman's hand and looked at him. "Lead the way." Roman nodded and led the way. he opened the door and let go of Dean's hand as he looked around the place quickly. There was a blonde haired woman at the desk with a smile. The blonde looked up and smiled even more and Roman could tell it wasn't a fake smile.

"Hi! I'm Trish. I'm the receptionist here. You must be Roman Reigns." She stood from her chair and put out some papers. "Oh and you, you must be Dean Ambrose." She looked at the shorter man and waved. "Got some papers for you both to sign." Roman and Dean came to her desk and took two pens to sign some papers. Dean signed his name for Roman's emergency contact and bit his bottom lip slightly as he wrote what his relationship was to Roman on the paper. After the two finished signing the papers Trish opened the door for them so they could see where it all went down.
