Chapter 22 Admitting the truth at last
Raven slumped back in her hospital bed clearly upset. She didn't want to have to choose but in the end she would have to.
"Izzy do I really have to choose?"
"No. They are both jerks if they expect you to choose between them"
Raven let out a sigh, "I think me and Charlie should talk" "Oh yeah about what?" "You know what Charlie"
"Should I leave Raven?"
"Nah you should stay, I may need you to act as peace maker"
"Alright, that will be a challenge but I'll give it a go"
"Charlie do you understand what he's asking me to do?" "Yes but you still don't get it Raven. I love him and he loves me. Why can't you see that?" "I do see that but the fact is I like Randy, I really like him but I can't do anything with you there slappin him" "He's not good enough for you, Phil has been there every step of the way. You know that as well as I do"
"She has a point Raven, I doubt Randy would of stuck by you"
"How do we even know that? No one has given me a chance to get to know him"
"Ah touche"
"Raven I didn't suddenly wake up and decided that I loved him you know, I've loved him from day one and that won't change just because you don't like it" "So thats it, I have to do what you want, to hell with me being happy" "I never said that" "Did you know that he was happy the day Chase died" "So was I"
Raven gasped in horror "I didn't mean that Raven I am so sorry!" "Too late! How could you say that Charlie?" Little tears sprung to her eyes, of all the things to say she never expected Charlie to say that. "I loved him more than life itself and you knew that" "Charlie apologize at once!" "I'm so sorry Raven! But you should realise by now that I love Punk as much as you loved Chase."
Raven didn't say anything, she just looked helplessly to Iziah, she had no idea what to say or do. How do you figure a problem like this out? Two people sharing one body in love with two different men. Each with their own flaws and good points. No wonder Raven was classed mentally insane.
"Raven I think you should get some rest. Guys leave her be" Iziah kissed her forhead, "Get some sleep and I'll get some coffee"
Randy's POV
Around seven that night I headed back to the hospital in hopes that both Punk and her sister weren't there. I liked Izzy fine so far, after all she agreed with me about that idiot Punk, finally someone that didn't think he was the worlds greatest man. He was a backstabbing, raping, lying bastard of a man and thats saying alot coming from someone like me.
"Hey you came back" Raven smiled at me as I sat down by her bed. She took my hand "Thank you Randy"
I kissed her hand gently "Anytime princess. How are you feeling?"
"Tired but a little less confused so thats good right?"
I chuckled gently "I guess so. Have you heard from Punk"
"Randy"
"What? I'm just asking."
"No but I was wondering if you could do me a favour?"
"Whats that?"
"When he comes and he will, can you stay. Theres something I have to say to both of you"
I heaved a sigh, I think we already prooved that we couldn't be in the same room peacefully. Something inside me twisted and turned, it kept going and I knew what it was. For her I was willing to try, she was someone special that I didn't want to let go of and neither did the voice. "Ok. If he comes I'll stay"
"Thank you"
Speak of the fucking devil, I really wanted to punch him but somehow I don't think that will help me at all. Sure I'd feel better but Raven would probably never forgive me.
"Hey how ya feeling Rae?"
"Tired and a little less confused" Raven let out a soft sigh "Punk sit down there's something I have to get off my chest"
He took a seat on the other side of her and there we were glaring at each other over her nimble body.
"As you both know I am not one person I am three. Charlie, Sarge and me all share one body but we are all different" She let out a short puff of air "Lately I have come to realise that no matter how hard I try to stop it I can't. Punk, Charlie is in love with you and thats not gonna change"
"Ha! In your face Orton!"
"BUT" Raven interrupted "I have an attraction towards Randy and thats not gonna change either"
"What are you saying Raven?"
"I'm saying Rand, that Punk is right and I have to make a choice"
"So who do you choose?" We both asked at the same time, I know I was no better than him by wanting her to make a choice but I badly wanted her to choose me. At least I wouldn't do half the shit he did.
"I choose...
End
A/N So this is the end and it ends with a cliffhanger! Bom bom bom! So its over to you guys, who should she choose OR should she have to choose at all? Let me know and I'll write a proper ending but until then, enjoy this one!
