The Shield One-Shots!

Saving Him Pt12/Ambreigns

Dean Ambrose sat on the edge of his bed, looking out the window in his hospital room, his arms wrapped around himself; out of comfort, not warmth. He was going home today, after healing from his injuries he received when he was attacked. He was waiting for his two best friends...brothers Seth Rollins and Dean's boyfriend Roman Reigns, to come and pick him up. As he waited he thought back on his life and how this whole nightmare began.

The trio have been best friends since they met in elementary school, clicking from the moment they met. All their lives they remained close, no one and nothing could come between them, but one man named Randy Orton came close! Randy came into their lives three years ago, when he started dating Dean and both Roman and Seth despised Randy because they knew he was abusing Dean. Randy despised both of them too because they weren't afraid of him like everyone else was. Roman and Seth tried to get Dean to leave Randy, but he wouldn't; defending him to his brothers, hiding the abuse. Finally one day unable to stay quiet any longer, Roman confessed his love to Dean and he confessed his love to Roman. Wanting to be together, but afraid of Randy, the trio decided to run away together. While Dean was at home packing, Randy found and attacked him, but Roman and Seth arrived and stopped him. Randy took off before the police arrived though, after talking to the police and getting Dean checked out at the hospital, they left town like planned.

While on the road, Dean; with his brothers love and support, slowly returned to his old self, both his brothers so proud of him. It killed his brothers to see Dean so afraid and knowing Randy was capable of anything, they secretly bought a gun and hid it from Dean. Months ago, after returning to their room, Randy burst in he had come for Dean, but Roman and Seth refused to let him take him! When they refused again, Randy using the gun he had stolen from them, shot Seth once, before he took off with Dean. Seth told Roman to go after Dean, but he was too late, he returned to Seth and called 911; Seth was shot in the shoulder, no major damage, just stitches and a sling.

Days passed with no contact from Dean and both his brothers were scared shitless, both felt like they had failed him. Then one night Roman received an email from him telling them that Randy was going out of town for two days and Dean would be going to Randy's office for him the next day to get a briefcase. He told them to leave a phone in the bushes out front of the building for him and he'd use it to contact them when he could. They did and he called them that night warning them to stay away from the house, which was now guarded by Randy's men, who were told to shoot and kill both Roman and Seth if they came anywhere near the house or Dean!

The next day Dean called and told them about their new ally in one of Randy's men, Dolph Ziggler. At first neither were sure if they could trust Dolph or not, but eventually grew too; both realized though, that Dolph had feelings for Dean and were worried about that, especially Roman! Dolph was going to help Dean escape and then kill Randy himself, but somehow Randy found out and put both Dean and Dolph on lock-down, before he went and confronted Roman and Seth. It took a month after Randy found out for Dolph to be able to contact them again and when he did he told them that Dean had completely given up, even his brothers talking to him couldn't change Dean's mind. After three weeks of no contact, Dolph called them a week ago and told them Dean was at the hospital, after Randy beat him badly. They rushed to the hospital scared they might lose Dean and spoke with Doctor Grant and learned that Randy; backed by Dolph, had lied and told everyone that someone had broken into their house and attacked Dean. Needing to keep Dean safe they spoke to Doctor Grant to try and convince him of the abuse and he promised to do all he could; which unless Dean told the police of the abuse, there wasn't much he could do.

During Dean's time in the hospital Roman, Seth, Dolph and Dr. Grant all tried talking Dean into telling the police, but the fear of his brothers getting by Randy stopped him. Until finally one day, Dean found the courage and with both his brothers and Dr. Grant by his side he told the Detectives everything; including Randy shooting Seth months earlier. After the Detectives left to get Dean's medical reports, Randy showed up and after a small confrontation, he was arrested. Before he was arrested he promised the trio that the charges wouldn't stick, he'd get out and when he did he would take back what was his...Dean and they couldn't stop him! Dean tried not to worry about it, but he knew what Randy was capable of and it scared him to know that what Randy promised could happen! He knew the only way this nightmare would end was if Randy or himself were dead! His thoughts were interrupted by his brothers and Dolph coming into the room to take him home. Dean turned to face them smiling, surprised to see Dolph with his brothers, after hugs Roman spoke.
