Chapter 15 Risk

Randy's POV

Since that chat with Triple H I left Raven alone and just stood back so I could study her properly. The weeks seem to pass by and before I knew it, I was counting down the days until I could go back to work, and also counting down the days until she left, I knew I would be somewhat sad when she did leave finally, afterall I would go back to work she would go back to her own life and I would never see her again. Looking her over again as she folded my laundry I reflected back on what I had learnt. Minor things that held no significance whatsoever. What surprised me the most was the fact that I had actually remembered what she had told me. I remembered that her favourite colours were black and silver, her favourite movie of all time was Jumanji. I remembered that her favourite video games were Phantasy Star four, Gain Ground and Mortal Kombat. She liked all types of music but right now she was an oldschool Eminem kick. Tiny little facts that gave me no insight to who she really was, I had tried to ask about her past but she always shut it down, claiming it didn't matter. The past was dead and done and she no longer wished to discuss it with anybody.

"So are you excited?" Raven asked as she folded the last of my washing, she had one earphone in her ear and the sounds of Eminem blared out at me.

"A little but also a little sad"

"Why sad? The mean nurse will finally be outta your life"

I chuckled "You've been nothing but nice to me"

"Yeah but I also punched your friend in the face"

"He deserved it, he should of known better than to touch you"

"Some people just don't learn" She gave me a beautiful smile which made me wonder again just how could she be broken. She looked so happy.

"You still haven't told me why you don't like to be touched"

"I did tell you, germs. I hate germs and everyone is covered in them"

"So thats the only reason?"

"Yeah pretty much" She gave me a look and in those eyes she held a sadness that told me she was lying and she hated it.

I decided to take a risk, one that I wasn't sure I wanted to take, but I had to take it because I may not get another chance.

"Rae can I talk to you a minute?"

"Sure" She took out her headphone and turned the music off giving me her undivided attention.

I wasn't sure where to start, it had been a while since I had taken a risk like this, still I had to try. "Uh?"

She just looked at me patiently waiting for me to go on.

"Ok this is going to sound stupid but I'll say it anyways, lately I've been having feelings for you"

"Randy" She cut in sadly, I put my hand up and I swear I saw her flinch.

"Let me go on"

"Ok"

"I was told that you were broken and I wanted to know if there was any chance that I could help. I really like you and I would like a chance with you"

She just looked at me, all sorts of emotion pouring through those beautiful silver eyes. Without saying a word she got up and left. My heart broke watching her leave but there was something inside me that told me that maybe just maybe I still had a chance.
