When raven woke up the first thing she noticed was the pain in her mouth. She could taste the coppery blood and feel the inflammation in her gums. Next came the excruciating head ache, and almost as if on cue the pain in her body slowly started to surface. She hurt so bad it made her sick to her stomach. Her throat burned. Then it all came back to her. she opened her eyes, scared of where she might find herself. The first thing she saw was juice.

She relaxed at the sight of him and not her nightmare. She tried to talk but struggled. He noticed and pulled a white board off her bedside table and handed it to her. "the doctor said you wouldn't be able to talk for a while so when the guys came by to visit I went out and got this for you." Her eyes welled up and she scribbled thank you quickly on the white board. Juice laughed and blushed a little. She let a few silent moments pass then she started to scribble on her white board and passed it to juice. The board read "Whats the damage? How bad is it?". The smile dropped from his face. Juice looked at her with an mixed expression of sadness and sorrow then stuttered. "its… pretty bad ray. Your vocal chords are damaged. You have a broken rib. Other then that its all surface damage. Itll heal".

She scribbled angrily on the board and handed it back to juice. It read "can I please have a minute" and she nodded towards the door. Juice got the hint and left quickly. He stood outside the door and he could hear raven sobbing hard and angrily. Her sobs raspy from the attempted strangulation by her attacker. Everything has their breaking point he thought to himself. He didn't even get to ask her who did this to her. Something told him she wouldn't give the information willingly. He dialed up his VP and told him raven was awake and to let the club know.

Juice thought about raven sobbing and his heart broke for her. She could fool everybody else with that "made of stone" bullshit but he could see past it. He knew she'd seen some shit and been through the ringer. she got too drunk one Friday and let it slip to juice and chibs that she came to charming because she thought it was far enough away from her demons. She'd said nothing more about it to either of them sense.

Juice knew raven was a tough little broad, but she was still a woman. Maybe this crazy shit has something to do with the way she is. Why she thinks she has to act so tough. These thoughts raced through his head so quickly he didn't even notice ravens sobbing stop. He peeked through the door and saw her sleeping again. "well she was awake" he said out loud to himself.
