Chapter 9 Some people just don't listen

Randy's POV

I got used to having Raven around, it still seemed as though she was wasting her time but that didn't matter to me, she was around and I found that very good. I tried to pry and poke my way into getting to know her but everytime something personal came up she avoided the question and then fled, it made me wonder what exactly she was hiding and why. On a typical sunny day I was relaxing on the couch while she made me another hot drink, I fuelled on coffee and so did she. It was the most personal thing I knew about her to be honest.

"Could you do me a favour Rae?"

"That would depend on the favor" She raised an eyebrow at me, yeah I was still making dodgy suggestions.

"Could you get a few snacks ready, a couple of friends of mine are coming over later to hang out with me"

She just shrugged pulling out a bowl and some corn chips "Sure"

"Can I ask you something"

"What?"

"Do you and father get along?"

She looked at me oddly "Of course we do, we're very close"

I rasied an eyebrow at her statement, that beautiful smile came out as she got my thoughts

"Not that close Orton. Is your mind always in the gutter?"

"Pretty much"

"Good to know" She set the bowl on the table "You do that and I'm gonna go and clean out your bedroom. It has a funky smell coming from it"

As soon as she went upstairs the doorbell went off, I was going to call for her but I decided against it.

"Come in!"

"Hey Rand, hows the injury?" Teddy and Cody asked at the same time. I quite liked them. During our legacy days we had grown close and I guess in some way I was like an older brother to them just like during my Evoloution days Triple H was like my big brother.

"Coming along nicely, well according to the hot nurse it is"

They took a seat opposite me in different chairs "Wait you have a hot nurse?" Teddy asked his eyes shining. It was no secret that the three most important things in Ted's life were wrestling, money and women.

"Yes and she's mine so hands off Teddy unless you want them broken"

"So where is this hot nurse?" Cody asked looking around at my really clean house. I don't think its ever been this clean.

"Upstairs in the bedroom"

They both got that devious grin which made me laugh "I wish guys but sadly she's not going for the bait"

"Maybe she's a lesbian?"

"Or a robot?"

"Or maybe your powers are dwindling Orton" Teddy laughed.

"You'll see, eventually I'll get her because I always do so ha"

Light footsteps made their way downstairs which of course could only belong to the hot nurse. "You know Orton I just cleaned behind your dresser drawer and pulled out a huge mass of dust, it was like pulling out my own head"

As soon as she saw Teddy and Cody she stopped talking and her face went dark. All three of them suddenly went cold. I had never seen three people go into cold silence so fast.

"Teddy, Cody" Raven said icily staring holes through them both.

"Raven" They both replied in the same tone.

"Wait you three know eachother?"

"Unfortunely" She still held that same icy tone, her eyes not leaving Ted or Cody.

"How do you three know each other?"

"We used to go to school together"

"No Raven we went to school, you got yourself suspended every thirty seconds"

"Well maybe if people like you stopped pissing me off then maybe I would of been there longer"

"Wow can't you just feel the love between you three"

"Ok guys this isn't our house and we're being rude, I'm sure we can act like adults" Teddy interrupted trying to make peace between them. Cody as always didn't listen.

"Tell me Raven have you smacked anyone out with a shovel lately"

"You know you talk but all I hear is quack quack quack"

"Yeah whatever"

Raven just rolled her eyes and set about doing some work in the kitchen.

"You know Randy with her as your nurse I'm surprised that your still alive" Cody remarked again, he seemed to really like pushing her buttons.

"With the way he hits on me so am I"

"Ok someone tell me, why do you three hate each other?" I was getting more and more curious as to why these three hated each other.

"She knows what she did" Teddy remarked acidly shooting a look at Raven.

"For the last time it wasn't me!" Raven suddenly exploded.

"Sure it wasn't"

She rolled her eyes shaking her head "I'm telling you, it wasn't me. Why would I do that anyways?"

"Because your an evil vindictive cow"

"You would think that after what happened you two would be very careful with your words"

"Ok someone tell me!"

"Its not important" Cody shrugged it off but I could tell whatever it was it was still a big deal to him and Ted.

"Oh so now you wanna be quiet about it" Raven scoffed "Why don't you tell him and put your spin on it to make me the bad guy and maybe just maybe he'll stop hitting on me"

"What happened?" I said again, it was starting to get to me. Who knows maybe I would find out something personal about her.

"Fine" Cody rolled his eyes "It was last year of college and me and Ted were having the perfect year until this bitch starts a nasty rumor about us"

"It wasn't me"

"Yes it was, just admit it Raven"

"I'm not going to admit to something that I didn't do"

"What kind of rumor?" I had a feeling I knew what was said because honestly I thought the same thing about them at one point.

"She spread around the whole school that me and Ted were gay and we did all sorts of sick shit together and the girls we had were a cover. Suddenly everyone was talking about it and we were the laughing stock of the whole school. She made our lives a living hell"

Raven scoffed "Oh puh-lease! Try living my life for thirty seconds then you'll know the definition of living hell"

"Whatever Raven, everything bad that happens to you, you bring on yourself"

She shook her head again but didn't say anything.

"So you hate her because she started this rumor about you two?"

"Back then it was a huge deal especially when suddenly your an outcast and your girl dumps you because apparently your a cock sucking homo" Ted said bitterly.

"Ok listen to me you idiots for the last time it wasn't me that started that rumor and it wasn't Izzy either so let it go and move on" Raven snapped going back to her cleaning.

"What makes you think it was her in the first place?"

"She may of tricked you into thinking shes innocent but we know her Rand, shes an evil twisted bitch with an ugly heart"

"Well there's your first mistake, I have no heart" Raven snapped again.

"Wow this is just awkward" I had to say that because it really was a tad awkward. I snuck a look at Raven. Her entire face was flushed red and she was clenching and unclenching her fists, I knew that look she was trying to calm down.

"Raven seriously though, can I ask you a question?" Cody asked innocently, I could just tell this wasn't going to end well.

She didn't say anything breathing heavily.

"How are the scars? Do they still tingle?" Cody asked while Teddy laughed.

Whatever that sentence meant it got to her because she instantly walked out the front door and slammed it behind her. Obviously they had hit more than one nerve.

An hour later she came back, thankfully Ted and Cody were gone and she had calmed down a little.

"Are you alright?" I asked softly, for the first time in ever I was actually concerned about someone elses feelings. I hated that they had made her that angry and obviously sad.

"Fine" She gave me a fake smile, I could tell it was fake. "What would you like for dinner?"

"Whatever you cook will be fine"

"I'll get right on that"

As she busied herself in the kitchen my insides burned with questions. I wanted to know all about her, the good, the bad and the ugly. I had asked Ted and Cody about her but they didn't seem to know as much as they thought they did. I had asked what they meant about the scars but they suddenly went quiet and didn't say anything.

"Raven?"

"Yes Randy?" She didn't look up from chopping the veges. Maybe I shouldn't ask personal questions when she had a knife in her hands because the one thing they did tell me was she was psycho no matter what spin she put on it.

"Never mind"

She gave me an odd look before shaking her head. Those beautiful curls glinting in the light.

"So did you do it?"

"Do what?"

"Start that rumor?"

If looks could kill I'd be dead ten times over. Wiping her hands on her jeans she continued on with making me dinner "Think what you want, no one ever believes me anyway"
