Part 2: The middle of a long night.
Lita sat in the waiting room, biting her nails, something she hadn't done in years. She hated hospitals, the way everything was so white and sterile, the doctors and nurses always rushing about, the smell of disinfectant. Hospitals made her nervous, all the life and death decisions being made. She imagined someone tossing a coin, heads you live, tails you die.
She looked at her hands, she should wash the blood off them but she didn't want to risk missing John's doctor. She got up and walked over to the vending machine. She didn't really want anything, she'd never been a big fan of coffee but she needed something to do. She took a sip of her coffee; it was even more disgusting than she thought it would be.
The redhead looked at the clock on the wall, it was 2.30 in the morning, she'd been here since 1am. She wondered if anyone would be missing John by now, she vaguely remembered seeing him with Randy at the club earlier.
The diva's train of thought was broken when one of the doctors who were treating John walked quietly into the waiting room.
"How is he?" the redhead asked nervously.
"He has a few cracked ribs, his left wrist and right ankle are broken, luckily the knife missed his heart but he is going to need surgery…"
"But he'll be okay though wont he?"
The doctor sighed.
"At the moment we just don't know…without this surgery…"
"Are you saying he might die?"
"I think you should try to get hold of his family if you can…"
Lita had to choke back tears at the doctor's words.
"Thank you doctor…"
The doctor smiled sadly at the redhead before leaving the room.
She had no choice now, she had to call someone. She called Randy, she didn't know John's mom's number but she guessed Randy probably did.
"Hello?" the St Luis native answered sleepily.
"Randy, its Lita…I'm at the hospital with John…"
"What?" a confused Randy asked.
"S-someone attacked him…I f-found him in the street…t-they stabbed him…" she sobbed.
"Its ok Li…I'll be there in 10 minutes…"
"Someone needs to let his mom know…he needs surgery…he might die."
Randy was silent for a second, trying to take in what the redhead had just said.
"I'll call his mom, and then I'm coming straight to the hospital…"
"Okay…"
Lita hung up the phone. She was glad Randy was on his way, she couldn't sit here on her own anymore. She still couldn't leave; she needed to know that he was going to come through this alright. She started biting her nails again and looked at the clock every 2 seconds.
It was 20 minutes since she'd called Randy and still there was no sign of him. She walked out of the waiting room and down a hallway when she saw him talking to a nurse.
"Randy"
"Lita…what the hell happened?"
"I don't know…I was walking back to the hotel and I saw him…there was so much blood…"
Randy pulled the redhead into a hug. He knew she and John weren't really friends, in fact they barely knew each other but he couldn't imagine how much it must have shaken her to find him like that.
"Its ok Li…he's lucky you were there…"
"Did you call his mom?" Lita asked, trying to rid her mind of the image of John lying there bleeding.
"Yeah, she'll be here first thing in the morning, his dad's coming too…you should go back to the hotel, you look exhausted."
"No…I wanna stay…I need to make sure he's ok."
The door of John's room opened and the dark haired superstar was wheeled out past them. They could already see the bruising coming out on his face and chest. He was covered in wires and tubes. Lita tried to hold back a sob.
"He's gonna be ok…he's too much of a pain in the ass to go this easy…" Randy said. Lita wasn't sure who he was trying to reassure more, her or himself.
"You need to get some sleep Li."
The redhead protested slightly but slouched back into the waiting room and sat in the closest thing resembling a comfortable chair.
"You'll wake me up if there's any news?"
"I promise, now sleep."
The diva eventually drifted into a restless sleep but it didn't last long, 30 minutes later she woke up with a start.
"I can't sleep here…I hate hospitals…"
"I don't think anyone likes them…I never should have dragged him out to that club tonight…he didn't even want to go"
"You didn't know this was gonna happen…"
"Did you see anything Li? Someone running away? Anything?"
Lita closed her eyes and thought back through everything she'd seen tonight. She remembered the people she saw laughing.
"I saw some people, maybe 3 or 4; they were laughing when they walked past me…"
"You have to tell the police…do you remember what they looked like?"
"Not really…it was dark…one of them was a woman though, tall and blonde."
"Was she wearing a silver necklace with something hanging from it?"
"I don't know…maybe, why?"
"She was at the club tonight…the last time I saw John he was trying to get her number…"
"You think she was like…bait or something?"
"Probably…"
"How could someone do that to another person then laugh about it?"
"I don't know…"
Randy put his head in his hands and sighed.
"You look like you could use some sleep too…" Lita said with a half smile.
"I don't think I'd sleep if I tried." He replied, returning her smile.
Lita glanced at the clock again, it was 4am. That's when she remembered Mickie. The redhead was supposed to be sharing a room with the other diva and knew she'd be worried about her.
"I should call Mickie; let her know I'm ok…" the redhead made her way out to use the phone leaving Randy in the waiting room.
"Micks…"
"Oh my god Li, where are you? Are you ok? I was so worried when I got back and you weren't here…"
"Calm down, I'm fine…someone attacked John Cena…I found him in the street…"
"What? Is he ok?"
"He's in surgery now…he might die Micks…"
The other woman fell silent for what felt like an eternity.
"Is anyone else with you?"
"Yeah, Randy's here"
"Good, I'll be there as soon as I can…"
"Micks you should just stay there, he's probably gonna be in surgery for a while, there's no point in both of us losing sleep tonight…"
"If you're sure…"
"I am Micks…I'll call when there's any news…"
"Hug Randy for me…bye Li."
"I will Micks…bye."
She hung up the phone and caught sight of her own hands again. She looked around for the nearest bathroom, she had to get John's blood off her hands, she didn't want his mom seeing that when she got there.
The diva scrubbed her hands until they hurt but she finally managed to get the blood off them. She walked back into the waiting room; Randy was pacing like a caged tiger.
"How's Mickie?"
"Calmer, now she knows where I am…she wanted to come down here but I told her not to…it's not like there's anything she could do…"
"There's not really much anyone can do except wait…"
"Do you want something to drink? The coffee's vile but at least it's warm…"
Randy was about to answer when the door opened and John's doctor walked in. 2 hopeful faces gazed at him before he spoke.
"Well…"
