Rainy Season || R.R {#1}

15. |Broken|

I was laying in a hospital bed, awaiting to be wheeled into surgery within the next hour or two.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine. Maybe it'll look better when its all put back together." Roman smiled.

"I hope. I'm not gonna go out like that. She thinks she won? Just wait until im strong enough to go back. I can, I will." I said.

"Thatta girl. Keep your head high but your expectations low. There's no guarantee." He said.

"I know that.. but I also know I WILL return and reclaim what's rightfully mine." I nodded. He weakly smiled in return.

"Ms. Reilly?" The doctor smiled as he entered the room.

"Yes?" I sat up, knowing what he was about to say.

"Its time to go ahead and take you to surgery. I'll have to ask you to wait here or in the lobby, Mr. Reigns. She should be out within the next two hours." He said.

I nodded as Roman grabbed my hand.

"I love you." He smiled.

"I love you too." I whispered as he kissed my forehead.

A few nurses came in the room. They grabbed ahold of my bed and began wheeling me down the hall.

"Everything will be fine, don't worry." The doctor smiled.

I nodded in response, but I was honestly terrified. What if I never make it back? I know I'll fight as hard as I can, but what if I really am out for good? I don't think I'd survive.

I was staring at a light as the doctor placed a mask over my face. He counted down from 10 as my eyes began to get droopy.

"Everything will be fine." He said as I fell asleep.

After surgery

My eyes slowly cracked open to see Roman sitting beside me.

"Hey." He whispered, flashing a faint smile.

There was a knock at the door, indicating it was the doctor,

"Ms. Reilly, how are you feeling?" He asked, shutting the door.

"Kind of tired. Other than that I'm good." I said.

"Good to hear. I have some fairly good news for you." He smiled.

"WHAT?" My eyes widened and I sat up.

Roman laughed and held my shoulder.

"The surgery was a success.." He trailed off.

"And?" I crossed my arms.

"There's a chance you may return to in-ring competition. Not too quickly, but depending on how quickly you recover and how everything feels from now on, we'll just have to see." He said.

"So, there's a chance I'm not out for good?" I asked.

"Definitely. I believe your career is far from over if you follow your rehab process correctly and maintain yourself. The sooner you try to go back, the worse it'll be. I know you'll be getting anxious, but the longer you wait, the longer career you'll have." He nodded.

"He's right you know." Roman said.

"You're right. Thanks for the good news." I smiled.

"Ms. Reilly, you have a few visitors." A nurse smiled, letting them in.

In walked Dean, Brie and Nattie.

"There's the champ." Dean smiled.

"How are you feeling?" Brie asked.

"A lot better at the moment. That's for sure."I nodded.

"That's great! Hope to get you back in the locker room as soon as possible." Nattie smiled.

"It'll happen. I promise. But what's important is I get fully healed so I can really kick Victoria's ass." I smirked.

Roman looked over at me and smiled in approval, which made me feel really happy.

"Looks like she's being pretty smart about this." Dean said, looking over to Brie and Nattie.

"That state of mind is exactly what you need Rose. Hope but balance. We'll all be praying for a speedy recovery and even speedier Payback." Brie said.

"Oh she'll get her Payback." Roman smirked.

"Damn right I will." I nodded.

I HOPE THIS DIDN'T SUCK. Sorry if it did. It was kind of a filler/cliff hanger *molester moon emoji*

Payback starts in 3 hours

I need air
