Chapter 10

I walk with my head down back to the waiting room. I wasn't sure how I would try to explain what they saw earlier.

When I walk in everyone looks up but no one says a thing. Everyone had joined hands though I notice and I was close to tears to realize that they were all worried sick. Many had tear stained faces and quivering lips.

Roman was the first up and over to me. He nearly crushed me in a hug that gets no better when he is joined by Ambrose.

"Guys..." I try to start but I am overcome as more Superstars and Divas enforce a large group hug.

"Guys, please." I say and slowly everyone releases their grips. Some sit down in near seats and others continue to stand.

"I have to start by saying thank you to all of you." I say wiping my eyes. The group hug had gotten me emotional. "You've been here all night for Seth and I'm sure he would appreciate that. I'm not sure when the next time you all will be seeing him is, but when you do, know that he is grateful for very thing you all have done for him."

Stephanie turns and hugs Hunter, the quiet sound of weeping coming from the area. I see the many with tears rolling down their faces even as I speak and some wiping their eyes constantly. Roman turns away from me and everyone else and I assume it was because there were noticeable tears in his eyes. Dean looks around at all of the crying people and folds his arms though I can see a single silent tear roll down his cheek.

'C'mon, Seth' I think to myself. 'Now would be a nice time to intervene. Just leave me in a room with a group of crying individuals.'

"She's right." I hear a voice behind me chime. Everyone freezes and looks behind me and I grin. "I appreciate all of you guys." He pauses. "Ambrose, are those tears?"

I can't help but jump back as yelling and people rush towards Seth.

"Rollins, I'm gonna kill you!" I hear Dean say in particular but there was a smile on his face when he said so.

I back up and stand in front of Seth quickly. "Easy!" I say to everyone and they stop right in their tracks. I step away from Seth and gesture towards him. "We need no more broken bones." They laugh and try to maneuver around his broken parts as they greet him once again.

I smile as I watch everyone greet Seth with open arms and warm smiles. I look over to the corner and see Randy sitting, watching everyone as well. I walk over to him and sit in the chair across from his own. He looks at me with fear but doesn't look away.

"You don't wanna go see Seth?" I try to start a conversation.

He shakes his head. "Not after knowing that this is all my fault I don't." He says, looking at the ground rather than my face.

"Then why did you do it?" I ask, struggling to keep all bits of anger out of my voice. He looks back up at me.

"It was an honest accident I swear." He says and I raise and eyebrow. "I heard when you were talking to Hunter and I want to make sure you know, this wasn't just a storyline. This wasn't because I lost to him. This wasn't some kind of sick payback, ok?" He says, his voice hitching lightly. "I didn't mean to. I don't know what happened by it was an accident I swear." He runs his hand over his face. "I tried."

"Randy..." I start but he shakes his head.

"No, I tried dammit." He says, his voice catching on the last part. A tear slips out of his eye but he doesn't let it get anywhere as he wipes it away. "I tried to stop that car. Then when I got out and I saw you sitting on the ground with Seth I just, I knew that everyone would take it just like you did. They would think I did it on purpose. But I really didn't." Another tear falls from his eye and I find myself wanting to cry, not seeing the same Randy Orton that goes in the ring. I saw someone generally consumed with their own feelings. His voice cracks as he continues. "I didn't mean to do it. It was an honest accident and if I don't get both of you to accept my apology, I don't know what I can do with myself at that point." I quickly hand him a tissue as more tears fall. His voice wavers with every word and I realize that he had most likely been being consumed by his guilt all night long, not knowing how Seth was gonna come out. "I don't know."

"Look Randy." I say and he looks up at me after wiping his eyes. I look over me shoulder and see that everyone was still preoccupied. "You keep telling me that all of this was an accident and I guess it might make me crazy to say that I absolutely believe you. I don't think that even you would do something as extravagant as to hitting someone with a car over a lost match. I accept your apology and as for Colby..." I trail off looking back over my shoulder at him. He was smiling and his face was lit up like a small child's would. Randy looks over at him as well. "Colby accepted it as well."

"How do you know?" He asks me, balling up the tissue.

"He may say that he won't forgive you for this but I know him. He already has. And he doesn't even know it was you." Randal nods and takes a deep breath. I pat his shoulder. "Coke one, everyone s in good spirits right now. Would you like to join us?"

He gives me a stare for a moment but then smiles and nods. We stand from the chairs and walk back over to the multitude. Seth sees us joint he group and he smiles at the both of us. He raises his hand slightly. "Hey Randy." He says nodding to him. Randy gives a half smile and nods back to him. I notice that Seth had retrieved his title from the counter in his hospital room and was wearing it over his shoulder.

"Ok, everyone scoot in!" I hear Naomi say from the other side of the room. She was standing on a chair with her phone in her hand. I crouch down beside Seth's wheelchair and he looks over at me with a smile. "Everyone smile!" Naomi calls and Seth hold sup his title as far as he can and holds a smile. Naomi taps her screen and takes the picture. "Hold on, one more." She says and I catch Seth looking at me.

I look over at him. "What?" I ask and he just smiles and kisses me.

"This works. Instagram bound." She says getting off of the chair. Seth and I pull away from each other and I laugh as he kisses my forehead. Happy chatter fills the room and I smile at the change in atmosphere.

"Excuse me everyone." Dr. Worth says and everyone looks to him. "We're gonna have to steal Seth away for a few seconds."

"Get him outta here." Dean jokes and Dr. Worth smiles and I roll him out of the room and toward the elevator area with Dr. Worth by my side.

"So." I say.

"So." Colby agrees.

I grin. "About the wedding..."

Seth chuckles and rolls his eyes. "So it begins." He says.

"So it does." I agree and Dr. Worth shakes his head with a smile as he presses the elevator call button.
