Chapter 31 Monsters under the bed
The first thing Raven saw when she opened her eyes was her sister Iziah, her eyes were a little swollen from crying but like a true sister she didn't leave her sister's bedside once.
"Welcome back"
Raven tried to speak but Izzy stopped her "Don't talk, it'll put stress on your lung"
She gave her sister a puzzled look, "You have a collapsed lung along with other various scrapes and bruising"
Raven shut her eyes, blind pain ran up her body. She thought she would be used to it by now, apparently not. Iziah passed her a pencil and paper, it was clear her sister wanted to talk.
"I've kept Randy informed of what's happening and Hunter has informed Dad"
Raven's eyes bulged, clearly she was freaking out.
"He had to tell him Raven, his daughter is in hospital with a collapsed lung. He needed to know that. It would be like not telling him about Jamie's brain injury"
Raven closed her eyes knowing that sister was right. When can I expect him to get here?
"He'll be here as soon as possible but he wants to know who put you in hospital and so do I"
Raven rolled her eyes We all know who did it Izzy, the question isn't who or why the question is how?
"How do you think those two goat blowers did it?"
Raven shrugged, clearly thinking How did they know that I would be in my own room and not with Randy? OMG! You don't think Randy told them do you? You don't think he's been on their side all along do you? More paranoid thoughts began to tumble onto the page and in the end Iziah had to grab the pencil off her.
"No I don't think Randy is on their side, he's a lot of things but he doesn't fit the bill of being a spineless coward"
Raven instantly relaxed and Iziah gave her the pencil back I don't think I could handle it if he was on their side, I think I love him
Iziah smiled at her younger sister "And one day you will be able to tell him that and he will say it back and you'll live happily ever after"
Well I'm making progress I told him about Dad and about why I wake up most nights screaming
"You know underneath all those tatts and stormy cold eyes may lay a decent human being" Iziah said thoughtfully making Raven smile.
I do love him
"And I can tell he loves you"
How can you tell that?
"After what I heard about him its taking alot of will power to be in a relationship with someone that doesn't like to be touched"
Do you think that one day I will be able to handle him touching me?
Iziah shrugged "Yeah I think one day you will heal I mean I did"
Yeah but you had Rey on your side
"And you have Randy, I'm actually a little jealous, he's pretty hot well except the growth on his face"
Raven smiled again before her eyes went all buggy again, furiously she began to write on the page I know how they did it!
"How?" Iziah still couldn't figure how they managed to get to Raven knowing how safety conscious she was now.
They got the room next to mine, when I had a shower Cody snuck in and hid
"Where would he hide? You would spot him in an instant"
Not if he was under the bed when I fell asleep he snuck out and let Ted in and they went to town on me hoping that by the time someone found me I would be dead
"Well dear sister I'll be seeing you in about five to ten years for murder"
No wait!
"For what exactly?"
I want to take care of it, I'm gonna make them think they have scared me and I'll stop talking to Randy about my life and as soon as I'm better I will strike, may I borrow some of your magic syrum please
"Rae are you sure you wanna do it like that? I mean I could take them both out right now"
Raven shook her head I'm tired of being scared and I'm tired of being their victim its my turn to instill the fear we just need to be patient and let them think they are calling the shots
Iziah sighed "Ok if thats what you want Raven"
Raven nodded Thats what I want but where are we on the syrum?
Iziah let out a chuckle "Yeah you can borrow some, hopefully I still know how to make it"
Randy's POV
As soon as I could I rushed to the hospital to see Raven, I was updated thanks to Izzy. Apparently Raven had a collapsed lung and other assorted injuries, whoever did this was going to be murdered and I meant that. I was going to kill whoever did this to her.
"Hey baby" I said gently going into her room, she looked so bad that my heart broke just looking at her.
"I'll leave you two to it" Iziah said standing up "I need coffee anyways. Feel better Raven"
I took Iziah's seat next to her bed and just looked at my girlfriend all beaten and brusied. "How are you feeling?"
Surprisenly upbeat lol
"Any idea who did this to you?"
Raven shook her head Nope your guess is as good as mine
"Raven please for once tell me the truth, thats all I'm asking"
She let out a sigh, clutching her side in pain I think Cody and Ted did this to me
"What? Why?"
She let out a sad shrug and single tear slid from her face Thats the one thing I really don't know your guess is as good as mine
I took her hand and thankfully she clasped it back a small smile coming to her face.
Don't freak out Randy but I think I love you
It wasn't the setting I was hoping for but still it would work "Don't freak out Raven but I think I love you too"
You have no idea how happy I am to hear you say that
"Will you please now stop shuttin me out, let me in Raven. Nothing you tell me is gonna make me love you less if anything it'll make me love you more because you are still here and getting through it"
I still need time Randy but I will tell you the next part of the story as soon as I'm outta the hospital, I promise
I stroked her hand "Thank you"
In the meantime can you do something for me other than not go after Ted and Cody
"You don't want me to go after them?"
She shook her head No I'm gonna go after them myself I'm tired of being there victim please Randy understand this is something I have to do for me so I can move forward and heal
I let out a heavy sigh "Ok I'll let you handle it but if you can't it looks as though me and your sister is gonna have a new activity to do together"
Thank you Randy
"So what is it that I can do for you other than not kill those two cock-sucking faggots?"
Kiss me
I just looked at the words not fully getting it but the look in her eyes told me she wanted me to kiss her. Gently I lent forward and kissed those soft pink lips and despite the setting and the fact that she was badly beaten I was right, because we had waited this long it was mind blowing. When I pulled away she had fallen asleep, a smile on her bruised face. I just sat there for a while and watched her sleep. I think it was safe to say that my friendship with Cody Rhodes and Ted Diabiase was over.
