Title: It's Just A Crush
I glare at Mark then turn my head away. " Shouldn't you be at the house show? Well let me guess, you've come to yell at me some more. Wait I have a better idea, why don't you take my pillow, put it over my face and get rid of me for good. Or you could always take that bedpan over there and hit me in the head. It was pretty funny when Steve did it to Vince." Mark walks over to my bed. " Damn it Chloe stop, I didn't come here to yell at you. I asked to have my match pushed to the beginning of the card so I could leave and come check on you." I fold my arms across my chest. " Well now that you've seen I'm still breathing you can leave. You're good deed for the day is done." Mark looks at me one more time and walks out of the door. Two minutes later Stephanie comes bursting through the door.
" What did you say to him? He came into the waiting room looking like he lost his best friend?" I stare at her in shock. " What did I say to him? Were you not there when he was yelling at me after I just regained consciousness? Everything I said to him he deserved." Stephanie pulls one of the chairs over to my bed and sits down. She starts speaking so quietly I can barely hear her. " He was crying Chloe. As long as I've known Mark I've never see him cry, not even when things with Rebecca ended. When we got you into the trainer's office I sent Glenn to go find someone. Since the show hadn't started yet no one was around. Mark just kept saying your name and trying to get you to wake up. When he looked down on his hands he saw he had your blood on him. He started freaking out when you wouldn't wake up. That's when he cried. He wasn't hysterical crying but tears were sliding down his face Chloe. He kept asking me to help him get you to wake up because he couldn't lose you. I don't know exactly what the hell is going on between the two of you but its obvious to me Mark cares more for you then he has been letting on. He managed to get himself together before everyone came back into the room but I saw how he was and it's not something I will ever forget."
I start wiping the tears away from my face. I can't believe Mark was so upset. Part of me thought he wasn't even capable of crying. " If he was so upset then how come when I woke up he flipped?" Stephanie shakes her head. " Sometimes I think you are more dense then he is. Chloe the man was worried sick about you. I am willing to bet he isn't used to showing his emotions like he did and when you woke up he went with the emotion he knows best, anger. I bet inside all he wanted to do was gather you close and never let go but instead he decided to yell. I'm sure Mark won't appreciate me telling you what happened when you were out of it; but, once I saw him walk back into the waiting room looking so sad, I decided to take matters into my own hands." Before I can say anything else to her my uncle comes walking in.
" Hey sweetie, how are you feeling? I just saw Mark in the waiting room and he said you seemed ok. I've just spoken to the doctor and he said I could take you back to the hotel. Stephanie do you think you can help her get dressed?" Stephanie nods her head and my uncle steps out of the room. " Come on lets get you ready to go." 10 minutes later I am fully dressed and eager to get out of the damn hospital. My uncle comes back in and told me all of the paperwork has been taken care of so we can leave. Stephanie wheels me down to the car. She tells me she is going to head back to the arena to make sure everything is going ok with the house show. She will come by to check on me later on. My uncle makes sure I am ok in the backseat then gets into the drivers seat. Mark opens the door to the passenger side and slides in. My uncle starts driving. " Mark you could of waited for me to be done instead of taking a cab here. There was no need to rush, Stephanie had called us to let us know Chloe was all right." When Mark doesn't answer him I turn to stare out the window.
Once we get to the hotel my uncle helps me up to my room. I go into the bathroom and manage to change into one of his t-shirts I like to wear. When I walk out I find him and Mark talking. " Chloe, Mark is going to get your pain medication prescription filled then he is going to get some food for all of us. I am going to stay with you because you aren't allowed to sleep for a few hours ok?" I go over to my bed and climb in. I cough to clear my throat before I speak. " Actually Uncle Glenn, do you think you could go do that stuff? I kind of want to speak to Mark alone." My uncle looks back and forth between Mark and me before he agrees. Mark has a surprised look on his face before he quickly covers it up. My uncle gives me a kiss on the forehead and says he will be back as fast as he can. Once he leaves Mark stands over me and looks down on me. " You wanted to talk, so talk."
Review as always.
