Finding Love (Another Seth Rollins Love Story)

Chapter 7

The next morning, you woke up in an empty bed. You sat up and rubbed your eyes and heard the shower running. You were flipping through Instagram on your phone when Colby came out of the shower. 

"Hey, Jess. How're you feeling?". Colby walked over to you in nothing but a towel and kissed you and went to his suitcase to change. "I'm good. A little sore, but I'm good" "I'm sorry... That'll get better the more we do it". Colby looked at you and winked and you rolled your eyes and laughed. You got up and went to shower yourself.

Once you got out of the shower, you saw Colby was sitting on the bed in joggers and a T-Shirt with his hair pulled back (went to do a ponytail and stopped halfway through. I have no idea what that's called, but it's basically a bun) and his glasses on. You put on your black lace bra and matching thong and slid on a pair of dark denim skinny jeans and a black tank top and slid on your black sandals and let your hair air dry and did simple winged eyeliner and red lips. Colby got up while you were scrunching your hair and wrapped his hands around your waist. "You... You're beautiful". You blushed and turned around in his arms and kissed him and wrapped your arms around his neck. "Thank You for last night, Colby... It was well worth the wait". He smiled and kissed you again and the two of you made your way to the arena for the live event. 

Colby wasn't the main event, but he did have a match. You had just finished your last makeup look for the night and went over to catering to get something to eat. You had just sat down to eat when Jon came running over and told you something bad had happened during the match. You ran over to gorilla and watched the TV. He was nursing his right leg the whole time. "Why isn't he stopping!?". Joe shook his head and stood behind you rubbing your shoulders. Before you knew it, the match was over and Colby was being helped backstage by 2 referee's. 

As soon as he got through the curtain, he fell onto the folding chair against the wall and kept his right leg straight. You ran over to him and squatted down beside him. "Jess, I really fucked up. I don't know what I did, but this hurts like a fucking bitch" "You need to go to the hospital". Colby shook his head and looked down at the ground. "COLBY DANIEL LOPEZ". Everyone around you looked over at you and Colby and he finally looked at you. "You're going to the damn hospital. Whether you want to or not" "I'll be fine until we get back to the states" "Bullshit. Guys, will you help him to the car?". Joe and Jon both stood on either side of him and helped him get to the car. Once he was inside, Joe told you he'd grab your things and meet you there.

A couple of hours later, you were in a private hospital room and Colby had an IV with pain meds.

"Alright, Mr.Lopez, I'm here to take you to your MRI". The nurse smiled and you both and Colby nodded his head in response. You waited about an hour and they finally came back and Colby slowly drifted off to sleep. Around 3 AM, Colby woke up and you were sitting in the chair beside his bed holding his right hand and scrolling through Instagram. "Babe, go back to the hotel. I'll be okay" "I am NOT leaving. I'm your girlfriend. I'm staying right here". He smiled weakly at you and you stood up and kissed him.

"What if these scans come back worse than they think they'll be and I have to retire?" "Don't think about that *you kiss him again and sit on the side of the bed beside him and he put his right hand on your right thigh and you were careful to not touch his leg* You're gonna be okay. I promise". You kissed him again and texted Joe. He said he put your things in the rental car and you can head straight to the airport when Colby got discharged.

Around 7 AM, you woke up in the chair beside Colby's bed with your right hand still holding his. You sat up and looked at the time and a nurse came in. "Mr.Lopez's scans are back and a doctor will be in shortly to discuss them". She walked over and checked Colby's IV and he woke up. "Hey, Cole... The doctor's coming in soon". He nodded and rubbed circles on your hand with his thumb; never letting go of your hand.

Around 7:30, the doctor came in and told the two of you that Colby had torn his ACL, MCL, meniscus, and some ligaments and would need surgery. Colby took the news pretty hard and called his mom to tell her. 

At 1:00 PM, Colby was discharged and the two of you made your way to the airport to head to Davenport. 

Once you landed, you drove the rental car to Colby's and took his things inside as he used his crutches to get inside. While you were throwing his clothes in the washer, he propped his knee up on the couch and took his glasses off and laid his head back. You walked into the living room and sat down on the coffee table in front of him and grabbed his left hand and he looked over at you. "I'm staying here. There's no way in Hell I'm leaving you here along with a bum leg" "My mom's only 20 minutes away, I'll be fine". You got up and kissed him deeply. "I know you would. But I don't wanna leave you. I'll worry too much". Colby pulled you onto the couch beside him and you laid on your right side with your head on his chest and your left hand resting on his stomach. He kissed the top of your head and the two of you fell asleep.

Around 3 AM, you woke up and stretched. You looked at Colby to see him still asleep so you woke him up and made him go to bed. He grabbed his crutches and slowly made his way down the hall and you followed. He pulled a pair of basketball shorts out of his dresser and threw them on the bed. He hobbled over and tried putting them on and failed miserably. "Babe, let me help you". You walked over to him and helped him get his shorts on over his ankles and over his knees and he pulled them up the rest of the way. He threw his shirt on top of the dirty clothes hamper and took his hair out of it's bun and laid his glasses down on the bedside table and climbed into bed and you helped him prop his knee up. You carefully pulled the blanket up to his waist and he pulled it up to his chest.

You went into the kitchen and grabbed a pain pill and a bottle of water and took it to him and he was already asleep again. You put the pill and the water down on the bedside table and went back into the living room and curled up on the couch and fell asleep to the sound of Friends reruns.
