Mike made his way back to the waiting room and decided to get some air, being stuck in such a small space with Haley's brother was getting under his skin. He stepped outside and leaned against the cool brick wall and looked up at the stars. He wasn't the praying type but when it came to Haley he'd do just about anything. God, I know your up there and you can work miracles, so could you please just have Haley wake up and be okay. She didn't deserve what happened to her and if you just let her be okay I will be a better man than I have been in the past. Just please, please…don't take her from us.
As he opened his eyes he saw a shooting star and hoped that maybe this was god's way of giving Mike his miracle. Once he returned to the waiting room Taylor was gone and Punk was sitting in a chair texting. Mike sighed and walked over to an empty seat and sat down.
Taylor stood almost frozen in the doorway as she looked at her best friend hooked up to so many things and had to choke back a sob as she approached the bed and sat in the empty chair. "Look at you…a fighter, that's what you are Haley Michaels. You need to keep fighting to come back to us. I miss my best friend.." tears fell from her eyes as she struggled to keep her voice steady. "I need you to wake up and prove to us that Mike deserves to be with you because your brother and I, we're pretty skeptical. I've never judged you on who you date but I just don't see what you see in Mike. So Haley, as your best friend I need you to wake up because I have a huge secret to tell you.." she whispered the last part even though her and Haley were the only two in the room.
Taylor stayed for a few minutes just watching Haley lay there not moving and her heart ached as she thought about how helpless she felt and wondered if Punk felt the same way. She left the room and went and sat down beside her husband, he reached over and took her hand in his and kissed it. He was so thankful to have Taylor by his side.
Mike took the opportunity to leave the two alone and went and sat in Haley's room; he didn't need to talk anymore, he just sat there and watched the ventilator help her breathe. It killed him that she wasn't breathing on her own because that meant she wasn't out of the woods. The nurse came in and brought Mike a blanket to sleep with and offered to find him a cot so he could sleep more comfortably.
As Mike dozed off a nurse came in and checked her vitals, he overheard something being talked about the ventilator and he immediately woke up.
"Is she okay?" Mike asked concerned as the nurse scribbled something on the clipboard before putting it back at the edge of her bed.
"It seems she's breathing on her own so I'm gonna discuss with the doctor about taking her off the ventilator if her vitals stay where they are." the nurse explained, patting his shoulder before she left the room.
"That a girl Hales, keep breathing baby…come back to us" Mike leaned over and whispered in her ear before kissing her temple. He continued to sit with her and hold her hand as he nodded off.
Out in the waiting room Taylor curled up next to Punk as they tried to get some sort of sleep on the small cot that one of the nurses brought out for them. Taylor's eyes kept drifting shut but she fought to stay awake but when Punk wrapped his arms around her tightly and she pillowed her head on his chest that was all it took.
However, they weren't asleep that long before a loud voice entered the waiting area demanding someone tell him what was going on with Haley Michaels. Punk's eyes shot open at the sound of his sister's name. Punk sat up and went to see who was asking about Haley. He was slightly surprised to find Randy Orton standing at the nurses station.
"Orton? What the hell are you doing here.." Punk asked waving off the concerned nurse.
"Vince informed us that Haley was in an accident…I wanna see her; we are still technically married Punk." Randy stated firmly.
"Look, visiting hours are over, come back in the morning and you can see her then. Its been a chaotic night and we all need our rest." Punk told him calmly.
By now Taylor had woken up and joined the conversation. "Randy, what are you doing here?" Taylor asked confused.
"I heard about Haley, will someone please tell me what the hell happened to her!" Randy said, he was getting rather impatient.
"She was attacked in the parking garage, she has severe trauma to her head and is in a coma right now" Taylor explained sadly.
"Do they know who did it? Why are you just sitting around! We need to find who did this Punk." Randy demanded.
"Believe me, I plan on hurting whoever did this to my sister. But right now she needs our support here. Your welcome to stay but your going to have to wait until morning to see her just like us." Punk replied firmly, then led Taylor back over to the cot where they laid down and tried to sleep.
Randy walked over to the small couch and sat down, too much was going through his head to sleep at that moment. He and Haley had gotten married almost 2 years ago and although their split had been mutual it didn't mean that he didn't still love her and want the marriage to work.
"Come on Haley….you've been in there forever…" Randy stated from where he lay on the bed watching some game on the TV he rotated the silver band on his left ring finger and smiled. Just a little over an hour ago he and Haley had gotten married and he was waiting for her to come out of the bathroom so they could relax and enjoy the rest of the night together.
Finally a few seconds later the bathroom door opened and Randy sat up, Haley came out dressed in her white terrycloth pants and zip up hoodie. He smirked as she did a spin and he read the back of the hoodie I MARRIED THE VIPER is what was written in rhinestones.
"Babe that is hot! Now get over here so I can take it off you" he told her, motioning for her to join him on the bed.
She smirked and unzipped the hoodie slowly to reveal a matching bra and panties set, black and blue with lace. She dropped the hoodie to the floor and joined him on the bed, straddling his waist as she kissed him softly.
"There's two moments in my life that I will never ever forget…signing my first contract with WWE and marrying you. I don't care what anyone thinks of you, I know in my heart I did the right thing and I'll spend the rest of my life making you happy." she told him.
"I love you Haley Elizabeth Orton"
Randy looked down at his hands and rubbed his left ring finger, he had only recently taken the ring off but he continued to wear it around his neck; hoping one day they could get back to that place once again. He laid down and closed his eyes, finally allowing sleep to overtake his body.
