Chapter 21 Breaking free

Raven went back to her temparary office still reeling about her lunch with Randy, she didn't mean to share so much about herself but something about Randy she trusted. Something in those deep blue eyes made her trust him. Raven knew the early signs, this was exactly how she felt with Chase in the beginning. She had to watch herself around him, she couldn't go through anymore but even she wasn't immune to the sexy charm that was Randy Orton.

"How was your date?" Cody cut through her thoughts shutting the office door so they were completely alone.

"What do you want jerk-off?" Raven snapped in no mood to deal with Cody, not while she was happy-ish.

"I wanted to know how your date went?"

"Thats my business"

"If your talking about me it becomes my business" Cody snapped back leaning over her desk. She could smell his disgusting cologne bringing her back to that horrible night.

"Cody I'm confused, do you hate me or are you in love with me? Because right now your acting like a jilted jealous lover"

"There's not enough alcohol in the world that would make me love you"

"Oh thank God, I thought I was gonna have to go to thearapy to get rid of that traumatic imagery"

"I just wanna make sure my little warning is still fresh in your mind"

"Listen cock-fag, I'll talk to who I want about what I want when I want however I want"

Cody went to grab her but she was faster dodging out of his way she flicked up her giant hunting knife and held it to his throat.

"Don't make me slit your throat Cody, I don't wanna have to clean up another mess today"

"You really think you got the guts to use that thing?" Cody still taunted her despite the giant knife to his throat.

"Don't you get it yet Cody? I am no longer your victim. I'm no longer afraid of you and Ted. I'm free and with each day I only get stronger and eventually I'll be strong enough to tell the world what you did to me"

"Nobody will believe you because at the end of the day Raven your nothing but a whore"

"Get outta my office Cody" Raven spat, her hands shook as he got closer to her.

"He doesn't like you Raven, your nothing but a quick fuck to him and if you tell him he's not going to care because your a nobody and no one cares about one little whore"

He left her in the office shaking and trying not to cry. His words had cut her to the core and she couldn't help but take them to heart, what if he was right and Randy would turn out to be like Chase. Raven locked the office door and slid down to the floor, her back against the hard cold wood. Everything just spiralled in her head, that night, his words, Chase and Randy. She couldn't take anymore and as always the cold metal of her knife bought her comfort.
