Chapter 9 - I love you too!
What the hell just happened? Is Kate alright? How could this be happening? Why did she have to go to that damn party? All of these questions flooded Randy's mind on the way to Chicago.
At the hospital: Nina (Kate's Mom), Brock (Her Step Dad) , Georgie, Kelly and Walker were all in the waiting room. Randy ran into the waiting room as he noticed her family.
Randy: Nina, I got here as soon as I could how is she?
Nina pulled Randy into a hug as the tears began to fall once again from her eyes.
Brock: Randy all we know now is that she has a broken leg, bruised ribs , they are worried about internal bleeding.
Randy: Is she awake?
Brock: No, they are watching her closely in the ICU, if she doesn't wake up soon she may never wake up.
Randy couldn't believe what he was hearing, he was in love with Kate. She just came into his life and now she was being taken away from him, if she did wake up would she even remember him. Randy noticed Kelly sitting in the corner her eyes wet with tears as well, he wanted to yell at her that would make him feel better. He blamed her for all of this, if Kate would have stayed home last night then none of this would have happened.
Georgie came to them: I just want my sister to be OK.
Randy looked over at the 10-year-old who was crying and pulled her into a hug. He had only met her a few times in the last month but he knew how much Kate's step sister meant to her.
Randy: Have any of you seen her?
Nina: I did for a bit. Would you like to sit with her?
Randy couldn't bring himself to say the words just shook his head yes.
Walker: I'll take him to her.
Nina nodded as she went to comfort her 10-year-old.
As they were walking down the hall to her room.
Walker: Randy you have to prepare yourself for what your about to see.
Randy just nodded: Walker right?
Walker: Yeah, I talked to you last night.
Randy: You've been friends with Kate for a while?
Walker: Since kindergarten.
Walker laughed , Randy gave him a look.
Walker: Kate and I actually dated in High School. She's amazing.
Randy smiled: Yeah she is one in a million!
Randy walked into her room, he heart was breaking as she laid there looking so pale and helpless. There was a nurse in there. Randy stood next to the bed, he wanted to take her hand but he hesitated. There were IV's and wires all over.
Nurse: It's ok, you can hold her hand.
Randy softly grabbed her hand and kissed it.
Nurse: You must be the boyfriend?
Randy: Yeah Randy.
Nurse: Hi I'm Mallory, I will be her nurse for the next 12 hours, if you need anything let me know.
Randy: Thanks.
Nurse: You know you can talk to her, she can hear you.
Randy nodded and looked back at Kate and softly stroked her hair. As tears began to fall from the Vipers eyes he began to talk to her.
Randy: Oh Kit Kat, You can't leave me! Not when we just found each other. I know this is insane we haven't known each other for that long. But I love you and I want to be with you for the rest of my life. You make me a better person, I want to be your husband, I want us to have kids, a little girl just like you and a little boy just like me. Those are my hopes and dreams for us. I don't want that with anyone else. Just you Kate Lynn, but you have to wake up for me. You have to survive this. You have to.
He held her hand leaned in and kissed her cheek.
Over the next several hours Randy wouldn't leave her side, he talked to her and just begged her to wake up. In the ICU only two people were allowed in the room, so it was Randy and then her family took turns.
Brock: Randy, You need to go eat something.
Randy: I'm not leaving her, I can't if she wakes up and I'm not here...
Brock: I will tell you the second she wakes up, besides you have some friends in the waiting room.
Randy: What?
Brock: Go see them, I will stay with her she wont be alone.
Randy nodded and headed to the waiting room, he couldn't believe his eyes, there stood, Cody, Ted and John. John pulled his best friend into a hug.
Randy: What the hell are you guys doing here?
Cody: We came to support our friends.
Ted: How is Kit?
Randy filled them in, there had been no change. The doctor said the sooner she woke up the better.
John: Well we're here for you whatever you need.
Randy: Thanks.
John: Vince said take all the time you need.
Randy: Vince, if he would have just offered her the job she would have been with me in Ohio not here.
Ted: Yeah I know man.
Kelly came up: Randy can I talk to you?
Randy looked at her: No, I don't have anything nice to say to you. So I would rather not talk to you now.
John: Randy?
Randy: What John? I don't want to say something that I would regret I am trying to be the bigger person here. It's Kelly's fault that Kate's in this hospital right now. She had to drag her to that stupid party and get drunk. So I am choosing not to talk to her right now.
Kelly between the tears: I know it's my fault Randy. I know I am to blame. I already feel bad enough, she is my best friend, she's my only friend really. I just wanted you to know that I called her work and they said that she could start in a few months and they hope she makes a full recovery.
All the guys stood there confused Randy didn't even look at Kelly.
Ted: What job?
Kelly looked at Ted: Some wrestling magazine she was supposed to be in Pennsylvania next weekend for a Dragon Gate USA Show.
John: She took that job?
Kelly nodded as she walked away and went back over to Lane.
Cody: Did she tell any of you?
Randy: I can't believe she didn't tell me. Why didn't she tell me?
John: Probably because she knew you would hate it.
Randy: None of that matters now. I just want her to wake up. I love her man, I am in love with her.
The next morning Randy was at the hospital holding Kate's hand and talking to her.
Randy: Kit Kat You have to wake up now. I need you... without you I am just an ass whole. Ask Cena he'll tell you. So please wake up for me please? I love you so much.
Randy laid his head on the bed and repeated those words several time I love you Kate.
Kate's POV: As my eyes began to open , I couldn't see much things were blurry where was I? What happened. I feel so tired and I hurt all over. I don't remember anything, the last thing I remember was talking to Randy on the phone. Randy he's an amazing guy and I am so lucky to have him in my life. I try to move my head but it hurts, I feel someone holding my hand. It was Randy, I hear him tell me over and over that he loves me. Randy really loves me. I am in love with him too.
Kate looks slowly towards Randy and in a quiet almost whispers she tells him.
Kate: I love you too.
Randy's head shot up and he got a huge smile on his face.
Randy: You're awake! Oh Kit Kat! You're awake. Oh Baby I love you so much.
He kisses her on the lips softly.
Kate: I love you too Randy.
