A few days later it was Friday; Ryder was sitting at home finally she had a day off. Unfortunately she had so much left to study it wasn't really a day off at all. She flicked through her books completely uninterested, she picked a few of her books up off the desk to take them back to the bookshelf, something fell out from in between them. Ryder placed the books on the floor and picked the paper up. It had Randy's number on it. She sat down on the floor and took her cell phone out and dialed his number.
"Hey this is Randy"
"Oh, hey Randy. It's Ryder, are you busy?"
"Hey Ryder. Of course not, what's up?"
"I was just wondering um, would you have any plans tonight?"
"I don't, did you wanna do something?
"Well I have to look after my brother but would you want to come around and I could make you a proper dinner?" she asked nervously.
"What do you mean? I've been eating properly."
She laughed. "I wouldn't call eating take out proper food."
The phone went silent for a few seconds.
"Your right." He laughed "sure, I'd love to come over. Is 6 okay?"
"Sounds great; I'll text you my address and I guess I'll see you then" She smiled to herself.
"Cool, see ya later."
"Bye.
She was so excited too finally have someone to talk to; it was getting pretty lonely just her and her brother.
After a long day 6pm finally rolled around, dinner was almost finished, the doorbell rang; Ryder ran to get it but then stopped herself at the door. 'Don't seem so desperate.' She thought to herself. She waited 10 seconds and then answered the door.
"Hey Randy!" She smiled.
"Hey, what took you so long to answer the door?" he laughed.
"W-what do you mean?" she asked extremely confused.
"I heard you running to the door. Then, nothing." He smiled.
"Oh, well that's embarrassing." She laughed and looked at the floor. "Damn you hardwood floors." She made Randy laugh.
"Where's your brother?" He asked.
"I'll go get him, just make yourself at home." She left him in the living room as she went to grab her brother. Randy scoped out the room, it was quite a small apartment but it was inviting. There were still unpacked boxes around the place, but it wasn't untidy in the least.
Ryder and her brother walked back into the room. He was looking down at a video game he was playing on his Nintendo ds, not interested at all.
"Randy, this is my brother Sebastian, but we call him Seb."
"Nice to meet you Seb." He smiled.
"Seb this is my friend Ra-"
"RANDY ORTON!" Seb ran over and hugged Randy's leg. "I LOVE you."
"Seb!" Ryder ran over and pried Seb off of Randy. "Stop being such a freak, your embarrassing me." He wriggled out of Ryder's arms and ran off to his room.
"I'm so sorry; he can be a bit weird at times. I don't know how he knew you though." She sighed with a red face.
"It's fine, I get it a lot worse; Ryder look" He was cut off by Seb.
"Sis look!" Seb handed her one of his magazines which had Randy on the cover.
"Randy, you didn't tell me you were famous." She looked away from the cover and up to Randy.
"I didn't want you to treat me differently, you're like the only person in the world who didn't know who I was, and I liked it." He sighed.
"Hey, I wouldn't treat someone different because of who they are, remember I know what it's like to be treated differently." She smiled. "Now come on guys, dinners going to get cold."
They all ate their dinners; Seb wouldn't keep his eyes off Randy they whole time. He couldn't believe his them; Randy Orton was sitting across the table from him, it just made Randy laugh. They had all just finished eating.
"Randy will you come play Xbox with me?" Seb had the biggest smile on his face, basically begging him too.
"Of course little man, but you should help your sister with the dishes."
Seb looked over to Ryder with puppy dog eyes, he just wanted to play.
"Its fine guys, you can go play I'll be fine." She laughed.
"YAY!" Seb jumped out of his seat and ran over to Randy and grabbed his wrist and began dragging him to the lounge room. Randy looked over to Ryder as she mouthed 'thank you' too him. He just smiled at her.
Ryder had finally finished doing the dishes and she could hear the boys in the other room laughing and chatting. She stuck her head around the corner and watched them sitting on the floor playing on the Xbox.
"I'm gonna be you!" Seb laughed as they played WWE12' together.
It made Randy laugh. "But I'm always me, who else would I be?"
"You can be Cena, he's my second favorite!"
"You know, he's one of my best friends; maybe your sister will let me bring him over sometime." Randy looked over to Ryder and smiled. She walked over and sat on the couch behind them.
Seb's mouth was open wide in shock; he looked over to Ryder and grinned. "Pleaaaasseeee" he begged.
"Maybe, if you're good; come on its time for bed."
"One more match!" he kept pleading with her.
She just laughed. "Fine, but then its straight to bed."
Randy and Seb played their match, Seb didn't exactly know how to play he just mashed the buttons on the controller but Randy let him win, he was so excited; Ryder took him upstairs and put him to bed. She came back out to the living room and sat on the couch with Randy.
"He seems pretty cool." Randy smiled as Ryder handed him a coffee.
"Of course he is, I'm his sister." They both laughed.
Randy took a sip of his coffee.
"You know you probably just changed his life because of that." She looked into her cup smiling softly.
"What do you mean?" Randy looked over to her concerned.
"You know how I told you he was the reason I moved here, it's because back home we couldn't get him the proper medical attention he needed. He has problems with his heart and lungs; he was born with defects and I heard about a specialist over here that could help. Luckily I just happened to get a job at the same hospital. But the problem is we don't know if he's going to make it through."
"That's pretty terrible Ryder, I'm sorry." Randy put his hand on her knee.
She looked up and smiled. "Its fine, hopefully he'll get better and someday maybe we can go home but for now were stuck here. He doesn't like going to school cause all the kids pick on him. When he has bad days he can hardly breathe so he has to wear a breathing apparatus he get so embarrassed and doesn't have any friends at all. So it means a lot to him that you played with him tonight. Especially because of who you are." She smiled.
"It was my pleasure and I'll come over every single day if it helps him feel better."
"Thank you, so much." She smiled, leant over and gave him a hug.
"I don't get though, why are you here with him and not your parents." Randy curiously asked.
"My dad well, he's in jail; he murdered our mother and a teenage girl who he was sleeping with while he was still married to our mother. So I'm basically all Seb's got. We have our grandparents but they are too old to travel such distances.
"Ryder. I'm sorry I shouldn't have asked." Randy felt uncomfortable after asking such a personally question.
"Don't be silly, how you were meant to know?" she forced a smile. "That's enough about me for now though, tell me about yourself."
Randy spent the night telling Ryder what he did and how he travelled all the time, she was amazed at what he did and for once someone didn't think it was a bad job or too dangerous for someone who was so injured. She couldn't wait for him to get better so she could see him wrestle.
