"Oh my God!"
"Randy don't do this!"
Rebecca couldn't watch as Randy Orton kicked her husband in the head. The doctor told Shawn he had a mild concussion and that he shouldn't compete that night.
But he did. And now he was paying the price.
When Rebecca looked up her husband was lying on the canvas, his blue eyes blank.
"NO!" Rebecca leapt over the barricade, not caring that this was a pay-per-view, not caring that there were millions of people watching. All she cared about was Shawn.
Rebecca shook uncontrollably as she followed the EMTs to the ambulance. She sat in the back with Shawn and gently took his hand, tracing her finger over the "R" tattooed on his ring finger where his wedding ring was supposed to be.
Barely conscious Shawn lightly squeezed her hand back. Rebecca looked up and saw a weak smile on his lips. He knew it was her.
Hold on to me love
You know I can't stay long
All I wanted to say was I love you
And I'm not afraid
Can you hear me?
Can you feel me in your arms?
Holding my last breath
Safe inside myself
Are all my thoughts of you?
Sweet raptured light
It ends here tonight
Rebecca walked with the EMTs all the way to the emergency room until the doctors told her she had to go to the waiting room.
Rebecca sat there still trembling. If anything happened to Shawn she didn't know what she would do.
Her cell phone rang making her jump out of her skin .Rebecca didn't recognize the number but figured it had to be a call from the hotel she and the kids were staying with Shawn at.
"Mommy?" A little boy's shaky voice asked "Is Daddy okay?"
"I
don't know Cameron" Rebecca replied trying to keep it together
for her children Listen you and Cheyenne go to bed okay?"
"Okay"
Cameron replied. He hung up.
I'll miss the winter
Our world of fragile things
Look for me in the white forest
Hiding in a hollow tree (Come find me)
I know you hear me
I can taste it in you r tears
Holding my last breath
Safe inside myself
Are all my thoughts of you?
Sweet raptured light
It ends here tonight
Agonizing minutes ticked by. Rebecca would fall asleep only to reawaken seconds later for fear something bad would happen. Hunter had called to see if there was any news on Shawn and to say he would watch Cameron and Cheyenne if she wasn't back by the next morning.
This was driving her nuts when was a doctor going to come talk to her?
Closing your eyes to disappear
You pray your dreams will leave you here
But soon you wake and know the truth
No one's there.
At long last a doctor appeared in the doorway. Rebecca jumped to her feet. She was the only one in the room so he was obviously here for her.
"How is he?" Rebecca asked anxiously
"Your husband's going to be just fine" The doctor reassured her "He's got a really bad concussion though. We want to keep him here overnight"
Rebecca collapsed back into her chair "Thank God!" she cried rubbing her eyes tiredly "Can I see him?
"Sure" he replied "and…is you name Rebecca?"
"Yes" Rebecca said
The doctor smiled "The entire time we were examining your husband that was all he could say"
Say goodnight
Don't be afraid
Calling me calling me
As you fade to black
Rebecca walked into Shawn's room and saw him wake up when he heard her footsteps.
"Becca…"He said weakly trying to sit up.
"No don't" she ran to his side "stay down honey' she stroked his light brown hair, tears rolling down her cheeks,
"Come here" He held out his hand and moved over so she could lay next to him.
Say goodnight (Holing my last breath)
Don't be afraid (Safe inside myself)
Calling me calling me (Are all my thoughts of you0
As you fade to black (Sweet raptured light)
(It ends here tonight)
"I'm so glad you're safe' Rebecca whispered.
