Chapter 29 Salvation

Raven's POV

I woke up in mid-morning on my third day without Randy, I was being kept her for a few days due to the cyst on my lung. I looked out the window at the bright sunshine, now I knew what that feeling was it was a little easier to deal with. I dreaded the day I would have to go home because that meant I would have to go outside. The last thing I wanted to do. I missed Randy more than anything in the world but I had fucked that up just like everything else. I had pushed him away just like I had everyone else. Everytime Gloria or Angela told me I had a visitor I refused to see them, I just couldn't handle it. Man where was a deep dark hole when you needed one. Sighing I kept my eyes on the window, wondering if I was ever gonna be well enough to go outside again. Right now I couldn't care less. The door edged open slightly.

"Go away Ang, I don't want my pills" I said not taking my eyes off the window.

"I'll be sure to tell her that"

That annoying british accent cut through me and when I looked up it was confirmed. Yes Wade Barrett was standing in my hospital room.

"Hi" I said looking back at the window. Clearly he wasn't expecting that. He was expecting shouting or yelling something to be hurled at him, the truth was I just didn't care what happened to me from now on. Wade didn't know this but if he was waiting for the perfect moment to rape me, it was now.

"I heard you were here" Wade said quietly his back against the door.

"You heard right. Well done"

"What happened?"

Finally I looked at him, he looked a lot different in his street clothes and without him acting like a giant knob-head. "What do you want Barrett?"

"I wanted to see that you are alright and I wanted to apologize" He said gently moving away from the door and taking a seat next to me.

"Uh-huh"

He just looked at me for moment before speaking again "Stu"

"Excuse me?"

"Wade Barrett is a character on TV that is a giant wanker that should be shot, I am Stu Bennett and might I add I'm a pretty nice guy"

I gave a dry laugh "Whats your point?"

"I lost it, I wound up being Wade when I deep down that wasn't me"

"Someone wants their job back"

"Yes but I really am sorry" Wade looked at me "How did you know?"

"I have depression Wade, doesn't make me an idiot"

His eyes widened "Depression? Is that because..."

"Don't flatter yourself, this comes from years of being me"

He didn't say anything for a moment "So where's Orton? I thought he would be at your bedside day and night"

"We broke up"

"Why?

"Why do you care?"

"Because I have come here seeking your salvation Raven. What I did has no excuses or reasons behind it and as a man I would like to apologize and hope that you can forgive me"

The funny thing was I did forgive him, I don't know why. Maybe it was because he was finally acting like a man and not a complete fucking idiot or maybe I just wanted him away from me.

"I don't expect you to forgive me but I'm hoping that you can one day"

"So who is she?"

"What?"

"The woman that has gotten to you so badly that you feel the need to repent and fix your wrong doings despite the fact that it could get you killed"

Wade smiled slightly "Her name is Jasmine."

"Well I hope you two are happy together and you don't fuck it up by being a giant douche and yes I forgive you but only if you leave this room right now and leave me alone forever"

Wade clutched my hand gently "Thank you"
