THE LONE WOLF (COMPLETED)

CHAPTER 43

SETH POV:

''No, I'll be fine. Look, the quicker I get this done, the quicker I can get back to my girl'' I heard Roman saying in the back of the emergency van.

''While we appreciate that sir, on quick examination you appear to have pretty bad bruising round your skull area, this is always a dangerous place to get injured, so as a precaution we really must insist that you have someone come with you'' the EMT guys were saying to him.

''Look, there's no one alright! My girl and my best friends gone home, so can we just do this please?''

''I'll go!'' I quickly volunteered.

Now before we go any further, let me put to rest what all of you are suddenly thinking...which is no. I'm not planning on messing with Roman in any way shape or form. But I owed him and Faith for all the good that's been happening in my life recently, plus it was kinda my fault for Curb Stomping him so hard in the first place...even though I still say he made me do it, ha! So in the end, I guess this was the least I could do.

''Are you god damn kidding me right now?'' he yelled ''get out of here Seth! I would trust Charles Manson, more than I would ever trust you!'' he snarled.

''Yeah, well he's not here right now, so you're stuck with me buddy'' I said, hoping up into the van with him.

''Seriously, get out Seth! You're not coming! He's not coming!'' Roman protested to the EMT's.

''We uh, we gotta a lot of history him and I, but we're also staying in the same hotel tonight, so I'm happy to tag along and make sure he's alright.'' I told the EMT guys.

''Thank you sir, that's very kind of you. Mr Reigns, we really should get going so we can check you. And while it might not be my place to say, but I think you should take your friends advice and have him come along with you'' they said.

''Fine! But he's not my friend!'' Roman huffed.

1 HOUR LATER...

''I swear, two months ago, if anyone had told me I'd be sitting in a hospital bed, with Seth Rollins by my side, I would have just laughed in their face'' he said.

''Yet here we are'' I smiled.

We were silent for a moment, while waiting for the specialist doctor to come along. When we were out of sight of the arena, Roman had told truthfully the doctors about his condition, and they became very concerned over his well-being.

''Look man, I know you hate me, I would too, but despite everything that's happened...I just want to say to your face how truly am sorry for what I've done...for all of it. We were friends for such a long time and I miss that, I miss talking with someone....I miss talking with you'' I told him, and realised I was being very vulnerable right now, but this may be one of the only times I would ever get to talk to Roman alone like this, and in case you're all wondering, everything I was telling him was the absolute truth. I missed our friendship, and deep down losing that killed me more than anything.

He didn't say a word, he just sat staring at the wall.

I to just sat there, just thinking how crazy this entire day had been.

I thought back to when I was in my car this morning, and that odd feeling I had gotten, I think it may have been some kind of warning...maybe like a premonition.

My thoughts were interrupted though when Roman finally spoke...''Was it bad?''

''Was what bad?'' I asked.
