Chapter 29
Raven woke up to find a doctor hovering over her. Noticing that she was awake he started talking to her.
"You know, you had your boyfriend really worried. He hasn't left the hospital except to get your sister food. She's real worried about you. How are you feeling?"
"Hurts like hell." She managed to spit out.
"Yea that's really not that surprising with all that you've been through."
"How long until I can leave?"
"You have to stay a couple of days, possibly a week. Then you can go home but you have to take it easy. You've been cut pretty badly, you have at least one broken rib, and you've lost a lot of blood. I'm going to go to tell your boyfriend you're awake." He hurried towards the door.
"No." the force in Raven's voice made him stop. Her tone shocked him and he looked at her questioningly.
"Why not? He's been worried sick about you. He even threatened my receptionist to get you in here."
Raven closed her eyes and her heart clenched painfully. Spot's face appeared in her mind. "He doesn't need me. I don't deserve him. I'm weak and helpless, not at all like I want to be. He's the leader, he needs a girl who can stand beside him. Someone who will be there for him to rely on. I can't do that right now, it'll be a while before I can. How is that fair to him?"
The doctor looked confused, not understanding what exactly Spot was a leader of but he just nodded and smiled thinly. "So what do I tell him?"
"Just tell him I'm tired and don't want visitors right now. Tell my little sister I love her."
"Alright I'll be right back." The man exited the room and Raven sighed against the pillows. It tore her heart thinking about Spot and his next girl. 'Will he love her more than he loved me?' she wondered as she lay back against the pillows and wept.
The doctor strolled out into the waiting room. He saw Spot and walked over. "What's your name?"
"Spot."
"Alright just so you know I'm Dr. Brownfield."
"Alright."
"She's awake."
"Can I go see her?"
"No I'm afraid not. She expressed her clear wishes that no one is to visit her. She didn't want you especially to see her." Turning around a little the doctor saw Tonya and passed along the message. "And she says she loves you."
Spot wasn't going to stand for that. No one else was in the waiting room, it was late evening and the doctor was usually closed by now. "What do ya mean she doesn't want ta us ta see her?" Spot kept his tone calm and collected although his emotions were raging.
"She said some stuff that didn't really make sense and then she just said to tell you that she was tired and didn't feel up to visitors."
"What did she say?" Spot's tone was forced and the doctor picked up on it.
Dr. Brownfield played nervously with his shirt and gulped. Spot was oblivious, intent only upon the answer. "She just kind of said something about you being a leader of some sort, the rest was kind of mumbled."
"Go in dere and tell her dat I want ta see her." Spot ordered using the tone he took when talking to some of his unruly newsies.
The doctor looked relieved to be getting away and hurried towards the room.
"He wants to see you." The doctor leaned on the doorframe and looked into the room.
"I don't care, tell him I can't do this anymore, that we can't be together. It won't work."
"Is that all?" the doctor's tone was not unkind.
"Yea that's all."
"Are you sure?"
"As sure as I'll ever be. Now go before I change my mind."
"I will." The doctor left with a heavy heart. He was not going to like breaking the news to the young man.
"She says that it won't work, that you two can't be together, she doesn't want to see you."
The words slammed into Spot's heart and he felt like the sledgehammer she had used to break the walls down had been slammed into his face. For a second he couldn't breathe. Finally getting his emotions under control so he didn't kill the poor doctor he simply replied "Okay. Tell her Cowboy'll be here shortly and he can take her home. I'll have him here in a week wit payment."
"I'll tell her."
"T'ank ya." The doctor looked at him sadly then turned away.
Spot looked over at Tonya whose eyes were filling with tears. "I thought she loved us."
"She loves you. She loves you way in her heart. She's just tired that's all. Come on. Let's get some food and I'm taking you back to Race."
Through her tears, Tonya smiled up at him and Spot stared into those eyes. Snapping himself out of it he grabbed her hand and they walked out the door.
Spot paused for a moment and then looked back and whispered over his shoulder. "I thought you loved me...
