Daddy! Chapter 9
After I got inside I found Katie watching tv. She looked up at my being back at 10:00 a little surprising. I flashed a quick smile at her. Then I walked in the kitchen to call my dad. All I got was his voicemail.
"Hey dad. When you get this call me back." I hung up the phone.
"So how was the date?" Katie asked.
"It was fine and it was only a friend date."
"Sure."
"I'm not going to fight with you over it. Did anyone call for me?"
"Just Zack. He said the funeral was going to be on Tuesday."
"Oh okay was that it?"
"Yep." Well. I have a full week. I thought, but I can't but wonder where my dad is.
Katie got up and headed to bed. I decided that I should too. That night I tossed and turned not able to sleep very well. Every time I woke up it felt like something was gnawing at the inside of me. Almost as if something bad was going to happen. I woke up with a start. It was a half hour before the alarm was to go off. I got up and rubbed my eyes. Katie groaned and rolled over putting the pillow over her head at the same time. I stood up and stretched. Then I headed in the bathroom to get ready for school. I took a quick shower and changed picking blue baggy cargo pants with a blue halter top saying everything's so blurry under that I put a short fishnet under it. Of course I cut the fishnet short so it would work under the halter top. I looked in the mirror to do my hair and I noticed that the swelling was gone and there was only a bruise left. I put my hair in a zigzag part and from that into two buns with chopsticks.
"Lookin' good." she yawned.
"Eew. Brush your teeth!" I teased. She gave me a funny face. I did my make up and then picked it up and put it away. Then left so Katie could get ready for school. I did my morning stretches. Katie walked out. She was wearing tight blue jeans with a white tank top. Her hair was in particle cornrows that were pink and only went to before her ears. The rest of it was piled and pinned up in the back. We grabbed our bags and left for school. When we got there I headed to my locker and Allen slammed it shut barely missing my fingers.
"What do you want?" I asked. He laughed and walked away with his buddies. I walked up behind him and punched him in the back of the head. "How's your new 'lady?'" I asked when he turned around.
"You want more?" he asked.
"You wouldn't hurt me." I smirked "You're a ladies man remember?" I walked away. The rest of the day was a blur. We got back to Katie's at 3:00. I tried to call my dad and again no answer. I sat by the phone, just in case he was to call. At 5:00 Jeff picked me up and he talked Katie into coming. As soon as we got there Amy greeted us.
"Have either of you heard from Matt?"
"No." We both answered.
"Amy. I'm sure his fine." Jeff tried to assure her.
"Hey. Amy meet Katie. Katie, Amy." They shook hands. I headed out to sit with King and JR. Jeff won his match against Booker T. The main event was up and a security guard came up to me.
"Are you Raven?"
"Yes."
"Come with me." I got up and followed him to the parking lot where Jeff, Amy, Katie, and other superstars were standing. I got up next to Jeff, Amy, and Katie were standing and I saw Matt knocked out on a stretcher. He was grasping for air and there was blood over his face. Amy got in the ambulance with him. I stayed back with Jeff and Katie.
"What happened to him?" I asked Jeff.
"I don't know. Let's get to the hospital." With that we left for the hospital. I just knew this was my fault. Somehow I would fix this, when I find out who's doing this. We arrived at the hospital. Amy had taken care of everything and was waiting in the waiting room. She came up and hugged Jeff and then me. Katie just sat down dumbfounded by this.
"How's he doing? "Jeff asked.
"The doctor is in with him." She looked scared. "Jeff, who would of done this to him?" I couldn't stand it. The doctor came out. He looked at us.
"Is he okay?" I asked.
"He'll be okay. He has a deep cut on his forehead. By looks of it he was hit several times in the back of the head along with his back. He's lucky he's not seriously injured. Of course we want to keep him here a couple of days. He's sleeping now, so you can go in if you want." With that all four of us headed in to see him. I saw him laying there even though he seemed quite helpless at the same time quite strong still. I looked over to where Amy was. She was silently crying. Jeff was trying to comfort her. I couldn't take it. I had to leave so no one else would get hurt. I turned and ran. I ran from the pain. I ran from the guilt. I ran from the fear. As I ran down the street I heard someone calling my name. I kept running. I figured it was Jeff. The person grabbed my arm. I tried to keep running but they had me by my arm. I was forced to see who it was. For a minute I thought I was imaging it. It was Zack. Despite what happened between my mom and him, he was always there for me.
"What's wrong, Raven?"
"Someone killed my mom and attacked my dad." I said in one breathe. "And it's all my fault!!" I started to cry. He put his arms around me. He lead me to his car and I got in, without thinking. He drove us to a hotel. We pulled to a halt.
"Why are we here?" I asked.
"The house is having some work done."
"But why are WE here?"
"So we can talk, catch up, and ect." We went inside. We talked for about half hour. I started to get uncomfortable. I got up to leave.
"Raven before you go. I want to let you know that now that your mother's gone. We can be together."
"What are you saying?"
"Come live with me? Marry me?"
"No!" I screamed. He stepped in front of me. I ran to the window. It was locked. I quickly unlocked the window but couldn't get it up fast enough before everything went black...
At the hospital
Jeff returned without Raven. Amy looked at him.
"I'll go find her." Katie said and left. About five minutes after she left Matt was waking up. He looked around weakly.
"Hi Jeff. Hi Amy. Where's Raven?"
"Matt. After she saw you like this she ran off." Amy practically whispered.
"I got to go find her."
"You can't. Jeff already tried and you're too weak."
"Okay. Someone needs to find her. I know who did this and she's in trouble."
"Jeff go help Katie find her." Amy commanded. He left with that. "Matt. I have something to tell you." she went over and kissed him.
"What's that?" he asked a little amused.
"Well, it has a heart beat and it's a boy."
"Are you pregnant?" They had been hoping for this since she's been out on injury already. Besides that fact Matt was planning on asking her to marry him in a few months or so...
"Yes. I was planning on telling you and Raven." she said. They kissed. Amy sat next to his bed.
During this....
Jeff ran to catch up with Katie.
"Come bock to my car with me." she followed him. "Okay. Matt woke up and said she's in danger so let's find her."
"Did he say who did it?"
"No he didn't"
"Where should we start?" He shrugged.
"Let's try Zack's house." When they got there. The place was empty. They continue to drive down the road to find Zack leaving a hotel.
