To Be Torn Between Two

Chapter 20: The Thing That Matters To Me The Most...

Bursting through the hospital doors, Randy screamed for help and nurses came rushing from all directions. He had no idea what had happened to Eve, it seemed like she had fainted. Now, a couple of hours later he was sitting by Eve's bedside, hoping she'd come to sooner, rather than later. He had texted the others the terrible news, yet no one had turned up just yet.

"C'mon Eve, you have to wake up. I know the doctors said you'll wake up in an hour or so but...but Punk might not be around and you need to say your goodbyes because if you don't, I know you won't be able to live with yourself" Randy rambled. "C'mon..." he whispered, as he grabbed her hand and gently caressed it with his thumb.

"Randy..."

The Viper turned his head toward the door and saw Kelly standing there. She looked like she'd been crying for hours. "Kelly...is Punk..."

"Phil's still hanging in there..." Kelly replied and realized that Randy's hand was tightly intertwined with Eve's hand. Randy sighed in relief whilst Kelly couldn't take her eyes off their intertwined hands. Jealousy was really a bitch. "I...I came as soon as you texted everyone. Is she ok?"

"I don't know...the doctors said she went into shock...she should be awake soon..." Randy mumbled, as he gripped onto Eve's hand tightly, causing Kelly to start fidgeting. There was a short silence before Randy spoke again. "Kel, I don't know what to do. All of this is my fault." Kelly clapsed her hands together, her gaze fixated on the ground in front of her.

"You sound like me...That's exactly how I've been feeling the past couple of hours" Kelly admitted. "I screwed up Randy, I really did and now it's landed two of my friends in the hospital." Randy stood up from his chair, finally letting go of Eve's hand, and walked over to the blonde Diva. He could see the tears forming in her blue eyes, and it broke his already emotionally worn out heart. "I-I can't believe this is happening..." He wrapped her up in a tight embrace, gently rubbing circles on her back to comfort her.

"Kelly...I'm sorry you feel this way..." Randy stated, hugging her even tighter. There was a knock on the door. Kelly and Randy pulled apart, and were somewhat relieved when a nurse was standing there.

"Mr Orton, may I please talk to you about Miss Torres and Mr Brooks?" the nurse asked. Randy swallowed the prominent lump in his throat and Kelly gave him a nod, signifying that she'd stay with Eve.

"Sure."

Slowly opening her eyes, Eve looked around and realized Kelly was at her bedside. The blonde's immaculate looks were disheveled. Her blonde hair was slightly messy and it obvious she hadn't slept at all.

"Kelly?" Eve asked, wondering what on earth the blonde was doing here.

"How are you feeling?" Kelly asked but Eve had nothing to say to her. The brunette felt both physically and emotionally exhausted. She didn't want to talk to Kelly, she didn't want to talk to anyone. All she wanted to know was whether or not Punk was alive. "Are you just not going to say anything to me?" Kelly placed a hand on the brunette's arm, however, Eve brushed her off. Kelly swallowed the prominent lump in her throat, and placed her hand back into her pocket. Eve avoided her gaze at all costs. She wanted Kelly to leave, badly. "I messed up Eve, I fell for Randy even though I knew he was yours and I can't help but think that this never would have happened if it wasn't for me." Eve, didn't look at her. She kept her eyes fixated on the ceiling not wanting to even acknowledge her fellow Diva. "We were best friends Eve, and to be honest, I want my best friend back, I didn't want this rift between us...I...this was never my plan..."

"You're the one who made it this way. When I said that I used you, I didn't mean it because I truly did see you as my best friend. But you know what I couldn't stand? The one thing that hurt me was the fact that my best friend couldn't be happy for me when I was with Randy. You were never happy for me, never. You were always envious and you never cared about me. You were my best friend, but clearly, I was never yours," Eve concluded, blinking away the tears that were welling up in her eyes.
