Chapter 10.


It's strange how a hospital can be involved with two complete opposites of life. In one room you can have a woman going into labor, bringing a new person into the world and in the other you can have a man taking his last breath. Hospitals are said to be the safest place on Earth, no one can get to you besides your own mind, that is. It's amazing how the white walls can resemble a mental home; they seem like they enclose you and leave you alone with your thoughts- which isn't always a good thing. A hospital can bring one back to life or closer to insanity and Candice for one loathed hospitals. She doesn't know if it's because of the way it saves lives or if it's because it's a place where some come to die either way the walls were tormenting her.

She sat on the bed with her chin pressed to her knees. Her eyes fixed on the white wall that lay in front of her. The TV that was in the corner of the room showed a Spanish soap opera and was the only means of the outside world in the entire room. Candice though could hear the TV but what went in one ear went out the other. Her eyes were little puddles of water ready to become a cascading waterfall. She just couldn't accept the fact that her baby was gone. All her means of living were gone. Poof, vanished into thin air.

The door creaked open but her eyes remain fixed on the white wall. How could something so simple giving someone such a strange feeling of fear and reassurance? How can a plain white wall capture someone's mind and keep it hypnotized?

Cody walked in first, Maryse following him with Alanna in her arms. The blonde female wrestler looked back at the nurse and gave her a small smile as to say thank you because if she talked she'd be sure the nurse would notice the quiver in her voice. Cody's heart broke when he saw Candice, her hair in oily, wild curls. Her eyes remained focused on the wall even when Cody stepped in between the wall and herself. It's like she was looking right through him. Maryse placed her hand to her mouth, suddenly moved by Candice's appearance. She was extremely close to the diva and it hurt her hard seeing her so vulnerable- a word never associated with Candice before.

"H-hey." Cody broke the silence that contained the room with a small whisper, hoping she didn't hear his voice crack or how much effort it took for him to break that silence. Maryse took a seat in the chair that was placed by Candice's hospital bed and reached out to touch her hand. The no longer soon to be mom snapped at Maryse's sudden attempt to connect with her. She broke her trance with the wall. She brought her to reality. She didn't want to be in reality. It hurts here. "Candice, it's just us." Cody added quickly as he saw the fear in her eyes.

"Candy, how are you?" Maryse asked completely ignoring everything that has transpired. Silence filled the air again and Cody opened his mouth to fill it but stopped when Candice looked at Maryse dead in the eye.

"I'm fine." She simply said, "Perfectly fine." The blonde shared a look with her fiancé's best friend. She's not fine. Alanna stirred in Maryse's lap and that was the first time Candice let tears fall from her eyes since this whole ordeal began. Candice's hand slowly began moving down her body, stopping at her stomach. It was flat. She was flat. Alanna's blue eyes looked up at Maryse and then around the room, stopping at Candice a little longer than she did to the others.

"Why are you crying?" She asked completely oblivious of the occurring situation. Everyone's attention was diverted to Candice, awaiting her reaction.

"Because you're so beautiful. You look just like your daddy." Cody stared at Maryse hoping that this whole Randy issue wouldn't go any further.

"Daddy? Where's daddy?" She immediately asked, panicking at her father's disappearance. The room went silent again and you could hear Cody curse under his breath.

"Daddy went to the- uh, bathro-"

"Car" Maryse added when she saw how Cody needed some input but mumbled shit when he clearly said bathroom. His head shot up to Maryse and gave her a strong scowl.

"Wait- he went to the bathcar?" Candice asked confused.

"Yea-"

"No" Maryse said interrupting Cody again.

"Can you stop?" He yelled in a low whisper.

"Tell me what the fuck is going on." Candice yelled as she jumped out of the small hospital bed. This sudden change caused Maryse to stand up and Cody to step in front of Candice.

"Candice, there's nothing to worry about. You really should get back in bed and calm down. The doc-"

"SHUT UP." She screamed in Cody's face causing Alanna to start crying. Candice fell onto the bed and began crying uncontrollably.

"Don't you think I've gone through enough? Don't you think the least you can do is let me know what's going on?"

"We're trying to protect you."

Silence filled the room again.

"I've been cheated on, stabbed in the stomach and I lost my baby. My own baby. I need to know what's going on. I feel like I'm on the verge of insanity and if you two don't tell me where the fuck Randy and Ted are then I'm going to go looking for them myself." Cody looked at Maryse which gave him a defeating nod.

"He went after- He left and went to go look for- He went to go get…"

"WHAT?" She yelled, grabbing onto Cody's collar and shaking him back and forth.

"Candice, he went after Ken."

It's funny how the white walls who were once her salvation seemed to become her enemy. The white wall that kept her from returning to reality looked like it was going to collapse on her. Why wouldn't it just hypnotize her again and take her away from this pain that was inside her?

And before they knew it Candice was yanking out the IV's that were in her arms and flying out the room.

"Candice?

Candice!

Miss?

MISS!

Stop.

Call the cops!"

She didn't stop; she wouldn't stop until she got to Randy and could see with her own eyes that he was okay. Because he is the only important thing in her life as of now, right?
