Chapter 13 Broken

Randy's POV

It had been two weeks since the incident with Teddy, I had asked her about it but all she said was that she didn't like to be touched. According to her he knew that so he deserved it. I had to agree to that, if he knew that she didn't like it then why do it?

"Good morning Randy" She gave me that dazzling smile, she still had that bandage on her left arm. I wanted to ask about it but I couldn't, it was none of my business.

"Morning Raven. How are you?" I looked closely at her face and thats when I noticed the dark rings. It was like she hadn't slept in ages.

"I am very good. You wouldn't guess what I watched last night"

"Why do I get the feeling your going to say porn?"

Raven laughed "How did you know?"

"Seriously though, what were you watching?"

"Old wrestling tapes"

I just raised an eyebrow "Ok"

"When I was thirteen I went away to camp and I missed alot of the wrestling so Dad recorded it for me and over the years I made my way through it, last night I couldn't sleep so I watched some old wrestling tapes and now here we are"

I couldn't believe it, she was actually sharing something about her, granted it didn't mean much as to why she was how was but still it was something.

"So who was wrestling in these old tapes?"
"It was a talking segment, my uncle Hunter, oldman Flair and Dave were in the ring talking about how great they were, behind him was a giant cake"

I started laughing, remembering that old segment. It was actually quite funny. "I liked that segment, no one guessed I was in the cake"

"I did, that actually earnt me twenty bucks"

And just like that she had lost me "Come again?"

"When I first watched it my sister Iziah was with me, we had a bet that someone was in the cake. She bet twenty that it was a whore in the cake and you would come out from the crowd, I bet that you were in the cake. And alas you jumped out and I earnt twenty bucks. Easiest twenty I ever made"

I laughed again "And did I make you want to lick the cake icing off my stomach?"

"Not me, Iziah yes but not me"

"Iziah eh?"

Raven laughed "She wouldn't stop going on about how good looking you were and how she would make you a man and how she would love to lick the icing off your body"

"Hmm?" I said thoughtfully "Can I have her number?"

Raven laughed again "She's now a happily married woman and Rey Mysterio would kill you"

"Rey?"

"You know short guy, wears a mask, you know, Iziah's husband"

"Damn, that short mexican always gets the girl"

Raven shook her head "Yeah ok"

"But at least your single right?"

"Yeah and I don't like to be touched so how would it work?"

"I'd make it work"

"You do that and I'm going to clean. Hopefully you don't mind the music"

"Music?"

She pulled out her headphones and Ipod "Music"

"Ah what you listening too?"

"Eminem, rock bottem" Raven replied putting on her music and got on with the cleaning. I left her to it and got on with my usual routine.

Around one Triple H dropped by to see me, I was very thankful for that because I knew he could help me. Like I said before during the Evolution days he was like my big brother and to this day he still was. He was who I went to for advice and right now I needed some advice like there was no tomorrow.

"Hey Hunter can I ask you something?" I asked as we took a seat on the couch, hot drinks in hand. Raven was in the kitchen, music blaring in her ears. I knew she couldn't hear us so I was free to talk about her.

"You can ask anything Randy"

I didn't say anything, I was unsure on how to put it, however Hunter got it. He always did.

"My my my Randy Orton has a crush. This is unexpected" He gushed mocking me. I had to laugh.

"Yes its so funny, now tell me what to do about it"

"Well my first suggestion is not to treat her like a whore, women hate that"

"I wouldn't treat her like that, too many people would kill me and she's a little scary"

Hunter laughed "So who's the lucky lady?"

I just looked at him, who was the only woman I had contact with for the past few months?

Suddenly his eyes went wide as he clicked on "No, no, no, anyone but her Randy"

"Look I know she's your neice so I won't treat badly"

"No, no, no, anyone but her Randy" Hunter said again "Not her, anyone but her"

"Whats the big deal?"

"Raven's been through alot" He started to which I promptly cut him off.

"And the last thing she needs is a guy like me in her life?" I rolled my eyes that he was being so mean for no reason.

"No the last thing you need is a girl like her in your life"

"A girl like her?"

Hunter sighed throwing a look at his niece, she was busy mouthing the words to Eminem's Rock Bottom. Looking back at me he spoke "Raven's a broken woman"

I looked at her stunned, the last thing she looked like was a broken woman.

"Don't let the confidence fool you, deep down she's a broken woman that only needs one thing"

"Love?"

"No, to be left alone" Hunter threw another look at Raven, "Being left alone is what she wants because she feels that deep down she's broken beyond repair"

"No one is that broken"

"She is. Her whole life has been a struggle and now Raven has given up trying to live, she just wants to exsist"

I looked at her thoughtfully "Maybe I could be the one to fix her?"

"Look Randy don't get me wrong, I love her, I really do but due to the past she can no longer live in the present"

"Has anyone tried to fix her?"

"She doesn't let anyone try, she just wants to be left alone"

I just looked over at Raven, a happy smile on her face. She didn't look broken she looked like a usual happy woman.

Gently Hunter patted my shoulder "Don't let her smile fool you, deep inside she's dead and no one can ever change that"
