Chapter 30 Silence
Randy's POV
Since that night Raven had spent most nights with me, it killed me being that close and not being able to touch her. She had gone back to not wanting to be touched which really sucked because it was definately a lot harder to play by the rules when she was right next to me. Thankfully she had spent last night in her own hotel room so quite bluntly I didn't have to endure the torture of having her right there and not being able to touch. I got to the arena earlier than I needed, I guess I was hoping to see her and hopefully sneak a kiss finally. I didn't hold much hope of that but I still stuck to my theory, when we did get there it would be mind blowing. I went to where her office would be for the day, she wasn't there. She was probably with the girls or at the coffee machine.
"Hey Hunter, have you seen Raven?"
He raised an eyebrow "I thought she was with you?"
"No she spent the night in her own room last night"
Hunter didn't say anything for a moment, pulling out his phone he checked the time before calling her. After a few moments he ended the call. "Something ain't right"
"What are you talking about?"
He didn't answer me instead he just went to Vince's office and I had no choice but to follow.
"Vince we may have a problem" Hunter started not bothering to knock or anything. I guess because he was banging Steph he could do what he pleased.
"Whats that Hunter?"
"Raven isn't here yet"
Vince just looked at him "So she's a little late, it happens"
"Not to Raven it doesn't, fifty jobs and she has never been late once"
"Well when she comes in I'll have a word to her"
"I think me and Randy should go back to the hotel and look for her, seriously Vince something is wrong. You know as well as I do this isn't like her"
Vince gave a sigh "Do what you have to Hunter, just make sure she's ok and she hasn't you know" He said shooting a look at me.
All the way back to the hotel Hunter kept trying to ring her, she just wasn't answering and I hoped that she was ok. I would never forgive myself if she wasn't.
"She'll be ok, shes a tough girl" Hunter said I'm picking it was more for his benifit than mine. He was trying to reassure himself that she would be alright. That car trip seemed like the longest one in history and at last we were making our way up to her room. Hunter knew instantly which room she would be in, apparently it was always room thirteen unless she was with me.
"You wanna barge it open or should I?"
I tried the handle to find it was unlocked, the first good thing to happen that day. Her room was practically the same as always and just like we prayed she was in bed huddled underneath the blankets. Hunter sighed in relief, "You had us worried kiddo"
He pulled back the blankets and neither of us were prepared for what we saw, Raven was battered and covered in blood. Her breathing came in short raspy breaths, each one she took she fought to stay alive. Hunter quickly rang an ambulance and did what he could to keep her breathing, I somehow felt like it was my fault, if only I had stayed with her last night.
"You go back to work and tell Vince he's a medic down, I'll go with Raven to the hospital"
"No I wanna stay with her"
"No! You have to go, she will never forgive you if you miss work because of her. I'll keep you updated every step of the way. I promise"
Feeling like I had no other choice I left the room, I just hoped Raven would pull through. I tried to stop the tears but they just came out and I knew once and for all, I was in love with Raven and I may of been too late to tell her that.
