A/N: Hope yall like this new one…kinda different but trying to still figure if I want this to be a multi chapter fic or just basically a fic of no more than three or four chapters. It depends on how this goes. So without further ado, enjoy!
"Dr. Ambrose! Dr. Ambrose!" Bayley yelled as she ran down the hallway to catch up to the young doctor. "I need to ask you a question!"
Bayley, a bubbly young intern for a nursing position, has just started working with him for the past month. Very energetic and always positive, Dean basically "hired" her because of how she is with the patients. They always seem to be calm and relaxed when she is there, which is a huge help to him when he has to things he isnt' to fond of.
"Shoot Bayley, what's up?" He asked as he stops but doesn't look up at her, he is looking at his chart for the patient that he is just seen and is double checking to see if he missed anything of importance. That is his thing he does. Always checks and rechecks over and over the charts to make sure that whatever the patients he sees, gets the best care he can give them. You see, Dean isn't just a doctor, he is a people doctor that specializes in the heart and lungs. Ever since he was young, he was always fascinated with how the human body worked, especially the heart and the lungs. To him, those two are the most important organs in the body. So, anytime a patient has either heart troubles or lung problems, he checks over everything on those two to make sure nothing gets missed. Because of him being this through, he hasn't lost one patient in the 15 years he has been doing this. A rarity among doctors.
And because of his success rate, he and his partner decided to open their own doctor's office, a clinic if you will, Ambrose Asylum. He figured it would be a good joke that many patients did, in fact, find funny since they knew it really wasn't a REAL asylum.
"I was just…" Bayley started, trying to catch her breath, "I just wanted to see if I could possibly have this Friday off?"
Dean looks up at Bayley, who is still a bit winded, and raised an eyebrow. "What's going on on Friday? We have a full schedule that day."
"I know, and I have already asked Dana if she would work for me and I would work for her the following Saturday. My parents are coming into town and I would like to be able to visit them if that is possible."
By this time, Dean puts the chart to his chest and crosses his arms over it and thinks a bit. Bayley hasn't asked for any time off or asked to change days since she started working for him. He smiles softly, "yeah, that will be okay as long as your shift is covered by Dana. We have a full day and she has to be here, otherwise, you will be called in if she doesn't show up, okay?"
Bayley squeals and hugs Dean before realizes that is was impersonal. "Sorry, but thank you Dr. Ambrose! Ill make sure she shows up or Ill give her the old knuckle sammich in the nose!"
Dean laughs as Bayley skips away. He really did like her as a sister, but man, she can be a bit much at times, but Dean wouldn't change it for the world. He chuckles to himself as he heads to his office.

"So, are we all still on tonight?" Dean asked Seth, who is his partner at work. They have known each other since college and have always gotten along. They did try dating when they first met, but realize that they were just better off as friends.
"As far as I know, Randy and I don't have any plans until later on so its still a go." Seth and Randy started dating after him and Dean called it off. Randy is a successful CEO banker who is two years older than Seth. They all were college roomates with Randy graduating a year earlier. Randy and Dean didn't quite hit it off at first, but than after a while, both realize that they both had more in common and that they both loved Seth, (for different reasons of course), and decided it was better to be friends than jackasses to each other. Since then, Dean would always come over on Sundays to watch sports and BBQ. But tonight, they were all three going to out to a sports bar that was new in town.
"Okay, first off, eww on you and Randy's plans tonight, I'd like to keep my food down thank you very much! And Secondly, what time should I be ready?"
Seth laughs as Dean crinkles his nose up a bit at the thought of him and Randy. He always knew how to get to him on that.
"Well, the games starts at 7, so maybe 6:30 be okay?" he asked as he takes off his doctors jacket and hangs it up on the hook by the door.
Dean sits down and finishes up the paperwork for the day since he just got finish seeing his last patient for the day. "Yeah, it should be okay. I'm pretty much done for the day so that will give me about an hour to get home and get cleaned up and ready to go."
"Good, I'll text Randy and let him know and then I will text you when we head your way to pick up, sound good?"
"Yeah, sounds great! Hope they serve pineapple dipped chicken wings!"
This time, it was Seth that crinkled HIS nose. "Okay, that is seriously gross and you say I'M bad!?"
Dean looks up and sees Seth's face and starts to laugh, "Yeah, but at least I am not talking about fucking it in every damn direction! Sheesh, you guys fuck like rabbits, it's a wonder you can still walk straight and not bow legged like you rode a bull!"
"Well…."
"Don't you EVEN finish that sentence Rollins! You know damn well what I meant!"
Seth laughs hard as he opens the door, "Okay, fine, but you missing out buddy, you haven't been laid since college, I feel for your dick dude…its got to feel lonely with just Mary Jane and her four sisters!"
"Yeah yeah yeah, I know, but there is nobody that catches my eyes right now." Dean responded, "By the way, fuck you dude..leave me dick alone! By seriously, hasn't been anyone that makes him swoon."
Seth then closes the door and walks over to Dean and puts his hand on his shoulder, making Dean sighs as he puts the pen down. "You miss him, don't you?"
Dean laughs humorlessly as he looks up at Seth. "No-"
"Dean, don't lie to me, you miss him, don't you?"
Dean looks down and closes his eyes, he thinks about him every day, wondering why they couldn't make it as a couple. They were so in love that they were talking marriage after they got their careers going after college. But things went from good to bad that they never spoke to each other once Dean broke it off with him.
"Every fucking day Seth, every fucking day I miss him. Every time I think I could move on from him, he fucking sneaks back into my head. Every time I think I could maybe try dating again, he sneaks into my fucking head. Like the universe is laughing at me for what went down between us. I often wonder if he even thinks about me like I think about him. If he even knows I still exist to him. It kills me to think that maybe he is married and has a family he always wanted but that I couldn't give him. If he could ever forgive me for the betrayal, the hurt but I love him still Seth, you know? I never stopped loving him no matter what I did to him. He didn't deserve the hurt, he had such a good heart, but I will never forget the pain and heartache I saw in his eyes."
Seth sighs as he pulls a chair up to Dean and puts his arm around him to comfort him. Seth was there the night Dean showed up at his apartment he shared with Randy in tears. He told him what he did so that if he wanted to bail on him, he could, after all, Seth was his friend too, not just Dean's. But instead, he pulled him inside and they stayed up that night talking and assuring him that no matter what, he would always be their friend. He wasn't gonna pick sides cause he knew one day they would meet up again and work their problems out. He knows deep down, they belong together. But he told Dean that if it was meant to happen again, it will.
"Dean, he loves you, he will always love you no matter how hurt he was. So much time has passed that I don't think there is much to forgive anymore. Just got to let that pass and be blessed that you are still here and doing what you love to do. If he is meant to be back in your life Dean, he will be. But at the same time, you can't keep yourself from being happy either."
"But Seth, I cheated on him! He caught me and Sami in bed together on the same night he was gonna propose to me! How the hell can I let that go? Huh? You know this Seth, its not something that I get over or passed. He was my world Seth, he was the reason I wanted to be a doctor. He taught me how to love and how to care for people the way he did. Now, he is some hot shot lawyer who is the total opposite of what he was in high school and college! Instead of helping people with problems, he literally puts them away no matter how light the charges are. It's like I turned him into a bitter man and that kills me inside. Not what I ever wanted for him."
Seth pulls Dean into his chest as he starts to sob. This is the first time in years they have talked about what happened and it seems like it weighs so much on his mind more now than it did. Dean feels like he will never be happy and Seth knows that it will take Dean's former lover to bring him back. But that is only if it was meant to be.
"Hey Dean, its okay, I promise, okay?" he says as he rubs his back to calm him down.
Dean pulls away and wipes his eyes on his coat. He sniffles but Seth lets him be for a bit. He then puts his hand on his neck and pulls him near him again. "Its okay Dean, I'm here for ya as well as Randy. So, lets get out of here and get home to get ready to try out that new sports bar, okay?"
Dean smiles weakly, silencing thanking him for being there for him. Seth smiles back. He then gets up and puts the chair back and heads to the door. "Ill see you in a about an hour, okay?"
Dean nods as Seth leaves. Dean then opens his front drawer and pulls out the pic he has of him and the man whose heart he broke all those years ago. It's the one picture of both of them wearing Santa hats and laughing like nothing could touch them. They were so in love. He gently glides his finger over his face and softly whispers, "I'm sorry baby, so so sorry that I broke your heart, I just wish I could see you again and tell you just how sorry I really am."
He then brings the picture to his lips and place a gentle kiss on his face and the places it back in the drawer before getting ready to leave for the night.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Seth, I am going to go ahead and drive to the sports bar and just meet you there, okay?
Dean got ready early and instead of waiting around for them, he decided to just drive there himself so that they could get a good table. So he sent Seth a text.
Okay Dean, that would be okay, see you there in a few.
Dean read the text, sent Seth one that said 'okay cool' and then put his phone in his pockets, headed out the door and to the new sports bar.
About 10 minutes into the drive, he comes upon an accident site with about four cop cars and a fire truck, but no ambulance just yet, meaning it had to just happened in the last few minutes.
"Hey sir, road is blocked off for about an hour, you may have to find another route to take." The officer said as he came up to the window.
"Is anyone hurt? I am a doctor so maybe I can be of service until the paramedics gets here. " Dean said as he pulls out his doctor's badge.
"Yes Doctor. Two fatalites and one that is barely hanging on. Seems like it was a drunk driver that crashed into two cars before he himself hit a tree. Come on."
Dean gets out and follows the officer to the scene with his doctor's bag in tow. The officer wasn't kidding either. A red car was literally wrapped around the tree on the driver side, white sheet covered the person in that car, no way that person could have survived that. Then two other cars, a black sports car and a beige van have basically hit head on, like they were trying to avoid each other and ended up hitting each other instead. The person in the van had a sheet over them, so he knew they were dead, but he person in the black sports car was laying on the ground by they side of the road, barely hanging on. There was two other witnesses that was trying to keep the person awake.
"Okay guys, have a doctor here that can help until the ambulance gets here. Let him have some room." The officer instructed the other two. One held his head as the other held his hand.
"Let's see what or who we have here." Dean said as he bends down with his bag on the side of him. He opens the bag up and gets out his stethoscope to listen to the person's heart. When he turns to look at the person who was laying there, he literally froze on sight.
No….it can't be…no…no…
There, was the man whose heart he broke all those years ago….it was Roman…..
