Chapter 19 It all comes crashing down

Randy's POV

I hate bad days, they seemed to rear their ugly heads just when your happiest. Everything seemed to be going right for once and suddenly its gone. I was starting to get tired of it but then again I really couldn't do much about it. The day started out fine enough, finally got a full nights sleep and something good for breakfast. I helped Raven with some walking practice before lunch then right after lunch went straight back to it. She was making progress so fast it was hard to take in. She went from shuffling to being able to actually being able to walk properly, her legs were still shaky but she was moving on her own.

"Ok answer the phone before I smash it" Raven said annoyed, she hated the ringtone even though I couldn't understand why.

"Hello?"

"Hello is this Randy Orton?"

"Yes, who is this?"

"This is Dr Meade from Shadyside Hospital, I have some news concerning your ex-wife Samantha Speno"

By the time she was fininshed my face had drained of colour and I could barely register what was going on. The phone slid from my hands. Everything had just crashed.

"Randy?" Raven asked gently "Randy whats wrong?"

"Sam...she was in an accident"

"Oh Lord, is she ok?"

"She's in critical condition, they don't know if she'll make it" I said suddenly getting up and grabbing my jacket, "Gotta get down there then get to Ally,"

"I'll come with you and I'm driving" Raven was up faster than I was. For the first time in my life I was happy for her wreckless driving.

Seeing Sam lying like that, tubes and cuts all over her body was hard to take in. She had major injuries to her head and vital organs along with minor scrapes and bruises, they had done everything they could and now she was on life support, I had to be the one to turn it off. I wasn't sure if I could. Yes she was my ex-wife but she was still a friend too and not to mention the mother of my daughter. The doctor had informed us that she had lost control while driving, the car sliding into a pole and crushed the life right from her body, not enough to kill her instantly but enough to kill her eventually. Silent tears rushed down my face as I said my good-byes and signed the papers to turn off her life support. It was the hardest thing I ever had to do.
