Molly looked at Raven's arm, draped over her little waist. She slipped, slowly, to the side, on her way off of the hotel room bed. His arm flopped off her body. She sat up, feeling free. She shrieked when Raven's hand grabbed the strap of her silk nightgown.
"Where're you going?" he mumbled through his drowsiness. Molly thought for a second, "The bathroom, Raven. I'll be right back." Raven let go and muttered something but Molly didn't bother asking what. She slipped one of her over-sized shirts on and left the room, with a small plastic bag.
She headed down the hall until she found the ice machine. She pushed the button and heard rumbles of the appliance. She "sshh"ed it, not wanting to disturb anyone. As ice came plunging out, she quickly set the bag under it, catching most of the cubes.
"Hi there, Molly," said a voice. Molly gasped and dropped her ice bag, startled. She looked up to see Edge, leaning against the machine, now looking at her fallen ice. "Hi," Molly whispered before squatting to pick up the ice cubes. Edge helped her and they threw them into the drain.
"Sorry I scared you. I thought you might've saw me," He said. Molly shook her head at him, meaning that it was okay. Edge's smile towards her faded when he noticed her eye, "What happened?!"
Molly touched her bruise and said, "Just an accident. It's nothing, really," She forced a smile, "It doesn't even hurt."
Edge took her face in his hands and examined the mark, a bit aware that she must have been lying. He cringed at it, knowing it must've felt worse than it looked. He ran his thumb, gently, across her left eye. Molly shut her eyes, completely mesmerized by his warm, caring touch.
She hadn't been held or touched like that in years. She never really knew anyone who cared about her. Now, it seemed, Edge did.
She had strong feelings for Edge. When she first came to work in the company, he was one of the first people she met. He was handsome and fun, if not a bit cocky. She saw passed that. She saw a talented man who loved the business. She was sure he would be a success.
Edge let her go, still concerned. Molly smiled at him, appreciating his care for her. "Scheduled for tomorrow?" he asked. Molly nodded, "Against Lita. She'll eat me alive!" Edge chuckled and nudged her shoulder, "Aww, don't be so negative. You'll be fine, don't worry. I'll be all for you." "Thanks. Are you scheduled?" She asked.
Before Edge could reply, a hand grasped Molly's wrist and pulled her away, passed Edge. He spun around to see Raven, yanking his girlfriend behind him, as if shielding her from Edge. "Whoa. Raven, don't you think you should be a little more gentle?!" Edge said, more demanding than asking.
"Stay outta this, your highness," Raven growled. He turned to Molly, "Bathroom, huh?" Molly's look was one of fear. Her eyes narrowed at him and the pressure he was putting on her wrist. Raven then stormed off, Molly in tow. She looked back at Edge, apologetically.
When the couple got to their hotel room, Raven threw Molly in, onto the ground. "What the hell were you doing with him?!" Molly stood, only to receive a hard shove, like she did earlier, and landed on the bed. Her face cried agony and Raven jumped up on top of her.
He grasped his strong hands around her neck and began to choke her! Molly's eyes widened in panic and fright. She slapped at his forearms, desperate to escape. Raven held harder and clenched his teeth, his expression psychotic.
Suddenly, something clicked in his mind. He wasn't sure what but he immediately let her go. Molly rushed to sit up and coughed to relieve the pain. Raven got off the bed, "Get out." Molly turned to him, "What? Where will I go?!"
He opened the door and glared at her, "It's no concern of mine! Stay with Edge for all I care." Molly grabbed her duffel bags and left. Raven slammed the door after her.
Molly leaned against the wall and slid down to sit. She wrapped her arms around her knees and buried her face to cry. As she sobbed, she thought of where to go. She knew only one person could help her, but she wasn't aware of how many ways he would.
