That night he just laid there in my arms and told me everything that had happened over the past few months. Everything Victoria had done to him, everything she's said to him. He said in the beginning he was strong, that he'd fight back, but after a while, he just got sick of fighting. I don't blame him. I was in a relationship like that once, and when I had the chance to leave, like he does now, I left and never looked back. Laying there in bed that night, I heard the old Steven come back. Some of the newer damage that the bitch had done was already starting to chip away and my Steven was coming back to me.
" I watched you on TV. I think that's what made me realize that I had to come back to RAW, they offered me a spot on Smackdown, but I knew that I wouldn't be happy there." I said.
" Why couldn't you be happy on Smackdown?" he asked.
" Because you're not on Smackdown." I said smiling. I felt him smile against my shoulder and close his eyes again.
" It's nice just being here like this." He said with a sleepy sigh. He really needed to get some sleep.
" It is nice. Can I ask you something Steven?" I said.
" Mm-hm." He hummed. I smiled at the vibration of his lips on my shoulder.
" How did you find out where I was staying?" I asked.
" A little birdie told me." He said.
" A little birdie?" I asked, confused.
" Raven is over at the other hotel, he was in here seeing if they had anymore rooms, but they were all full. He saw you walk in, he walked out, found me in the lobby alone after Victoria kicked me out and told me to come over and see you." He said.
" Why was Raven here?"
" Just passing through on the way to his next show. He said something about fate putting him here. You know how he is sometimes."
" Yeah, too smart for his own good. That is kind of weird though." I said.
" Yeah, but he has this knack for being in places at strange times." He said. We laid there quietly and soon I felt Steven's breathing become steady and he wasn't moving. I look down and he's sound asleep on my shoulder. I lean down and kiss his forehead. I've got him now, and he's not going back to her.
