Chapter 23
Lori is IHeartTeryse and she has been an amazing support for my stories... as has Rellys Gurl... I LOVE YOU BOTH SO MUCH! :D I dont think you realise how much your reviews cheer me up and give me the inspiration to keep writing.
"I have no idea why she would think that, But I don't blame her." Layla nodded supportive.
"Maybe we can all come back tomorrow and see how she is then?" Randy suggested. Sam was sniffly but felt weak, as if she couldn't move. Randy kept his body twisted around her, shielding her from invisible threats. Sheamus nodded.
"I just want to say something to Lori first." He took off in the direction of her room, stopping at the door. She was awake, going through her phone which was surprisingly not broken after the crash. He placed his hand on the handle and took a deep breath. She didn't look up when he entered the room.
"Out." She spoke, not raising her voice but sounding stern. He was about to leave when a sudden thought struck him. He turned back and walked to her side, lifting her hand up. He traced a finger over where her ring was, covered in dry blood and scratched to hell.
"Do you love me?" He asked. She let a tear roll down her face and she turned her head. She muttered a response.
"Do you?" He asked. She snapped round to face him.
"Of course I do jackass!" She snapped, shocked at her own actions. She looked at the soft expression etched on the face of the man she loved. All she wanted to do was be held and told everything was going to be ok. Only he could make her feel better.
"So why did you say you wanted to break up?" He questioned, sitting on the edge of the bed. She looked up.
"Dont you get it? I can't walk. That means no more wrestling, no more running into your arms, no more sex, which means I'm not having children. I can't even walk down the aisle when I get married!" She sobbed and he started rubbing circles into her palm.
"Okay firstly, Wrestling is the one problem we have. That is the one thing you love to do and not being able to will cause you the biggest heartache in your life." He looked at her and she nodded. "Secondly, Sex isn't what a relationship is built on. Sure its important but it's not a necessity. We can still have kids - We can adopt - and as for running into my arms?" He paused, rubbing his chin.
"I'll just have to run into your stretched out arms." He smiled. Lori had a small smile stretched across her face. "And... as for walking down the aisle? I havn't asked you to marry me... Yet." He rounded off and by now Lori was grinning.
"No matter how much you try, You aren't getting rid of me that easy." He stated, leaning over and kissing her, feeling a grin stretch across her face, he pulled back.
"I like how you said 'Yet..." She trailed off, feeling warmth spread through her body. He laughed and looked down.
"I love you too much not to make you mine." He stated.
Since they hadn't arranged anything and he had been escorted out of her room, Sheamus wasn't aloud to stay with her overnight. Lori insisted that he stay, saying she would be calmer but the hospital stood their ground. Sam managed to waggle an overnight stay so Randy and Sheamus booked into the closest hotel together. Everyone was dying to know if Lori was okay. Rumor was spreading on the internet and one website even claimed she was dead. Another claimed she had been shot and another said Sam and her had bought baby clothes...
Sheamus quickly squashed them by writing out a tweet.
Yes, Lori has been in a car accident. She is alive and well but her condition is quite serious. Thanks for the support and I'll keep you updated.
Within seconds, Lori had retweeted it, obviously not wanting to say anything online about the way she was. Minutes after #GetWellSoonLori was trending and Sheamus felt his heart drop as he read the tweets.
'Cant believe what happened! Cant wait to see her back in the ring!'
'She will be fine, Back as the Diva's champ in no time.'
He knew Lori would be reading them, tearing up. Everyone expected her to be okay, for her to walk out and return like it was nothing. Except she couldn't He burrowed himself under the sheets, willing himself to get at least a few minutes sleep.
He was standing in the cold air waiting to be let in. It was half seven in the morning and he had stood there for twenty minutes already. A smiley nurse opened the door for him and he smiled at her as he walked past, heading straight for Lori's private room. Sam was standing outside, biting her nails. She hadn't slept and there were big deep back circles under her eyes. She had been crying to.
"Is everything ok?" He asked, obviously worried.
"She woke up this morning and said she could feel her legs burning." She muttered.
"Thats good news isn't it?" He asked, sounding hopeful. She shook her head.
"She tried and tried but se couldnt move them. One of the doctors kept prodding at her knee and she punched him." Sheamus smile half-heartedly as he thought about his girl punching one of the doctors.
"They are taking her for more surgery... something to do with spinal fluid." She looked up at him, her eyes glazed from the thin layer of tears. He pulled her into a hug.
"Randy will be here soon." He soothed and she relaxed a little. He looked up when the door opened and they wheeled Lori out, already unconscious.
"Is she going to be alright?" He asked. The doctor gulped at the large man towering over him. He realised what he was doing and sat on one of the plastic chairs.
"Lori is going in for exactly the same surgery she did a few days ago. This time it is less life threatening but has a higher chance of letting her walk again." He never waited for anymore questions and he scuttled off down the hall.
Lori had hundreds of tubes sticking out of her arms and neck. Her eyelids had been taped shut and her face was pure white. Sheamus leaned in and gave her a small kiss on the lips before retreating outside.
