New One, New Love | Rhea Ripley | Book 1

wait...what?!

Demi's POV

I woke up alone in the hotel room. I grabbed my phone, dialing Chris's number.

Chris : Yeah?

Demi : Hey babe.

Chris : Oh hey. What's up?

Demi : Are you ok? You seem off.

Chris : Um, I'm in the hospital right now actually.

My heart stopped

Demi : Wait what? What happened?

Chris : Well, I was on my way to the gym for my workout when a car hit the drivers side door. They said I'm lucky to be alive.

I started crying, what the fuck is going on? Chris was just here with me last night and now hes in the hospital. My mind is racing at this point, I dont know what to do.

Chris : Demi dont cry. I'm ok now.

Demi : You cant tell me not to cry because you almost died Chris. I dont know what to do. You know what, I'm going there now, bye.

I hung up the phone, running into the shower, getting myself ready. I ran to my car and started driving towards the hospital.

*15 Minutes Later*

I arrived in the ER, walking towards the front desk.

"Hi Ma'am, how can I help you?" The Desk Lady asked

"Um I'm here to see a patient by the name of Chris Denton. Is he here?" I said

"Yes he is. He is in room 25A, you can go see him now."

"Thank you so much."

"Your welcome."

I went over to Room 25A, slowly pushing the door open. I walked inside to find Chris, on his phone.

"Hold on I'll call you back. There's my baby girl, I missed you." He said

I walked over to his bed, pulling up a chair next to him.

"Hi baby." Chris said "Look what I got myself into now. Hopefully I didnt make you too worried."

"You really outside yourself this time Denton." I cried "You had me so worried. When I didnt feel you next to me, I knew something was wrong."

"I'm just glad your here with me now. Good news is that I'm alive. Bad news is that my left arm is broken. I'm off the shelf for 8 weeks."

"I hope this doesnt effect your career. You just started not yoo long ago. I'm gonna take care of you."

"Demi it's just a broken arm. I can still drive and do stuff."

"No I dont care. I want you to fully recover and come back stronger for your return."

He nodded his head, smiling at me. God I love his smile, it warms my heart. I'm just glad hes ok, it could have been much worse. The driver was remorseful, he gave Chris his number so he could pay for Chris's car. I thought that was nice of him but, that doesnt make him running a red light justified.

"Hey babe?" Chris asked

"Yes..?" I replied

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah I'm fine."

"Demi...."

"Whatt?.."

Chris rubbed my cheek, making me blush.

"What's wrong, truely?" He asked

"I worry about you Chris." I say quietly "I dont like seeing you like this."

"I'll be fine babe. I dont like seeing you upset."

"I know.."

*2 Hours Later*
At the Hotel

Chris lay in my arms, laying his head on my chest. My hand was in his hair, playing with it. I love these little moments we shared, it touches my heart. I leaned my head down and kissed his cheek. He shifted himself, to where he was facing me now. We both blush.

"I love you so much." He says

"I love you too. Like a lot."

He placed his right hand on my cheek.

"Well you have to go back to work tomorrow." He groaned

"I'm sorry Chris..." I replied

"No it's fine. I'm just gonna miss you that's all." He smiled softly

I felt bad that I was leaving for about 2 months. I tried to take those months off but, Hunter told me he'd be fine.

"Dont worry too much about me Demi. I'll be fine, I've had worse." He said

"I'll try to, but it's going to be really hard not taking off on WWE." I replied

"No no, you can do that. Dont risk your spot in WWE for me ok? Can you promise me that?"

"I-I dont know if I can do that..."

"Demi...." He pouted

"Whatt..." I purred

"I need you to promise me that you will do your job and that you wont bail on Hunter for me ok?"

I was silent, I honestly didnt want to do that. It's hard because I like it when hes by my side at work. I have friends but, with Chris its different.

".....F-fine." I said looking down.

"Hey....cmon dont look so down." He said lifting my chin to meet his gorgeous face "I'm fine love, I'll be fine, trust me."

"Ok...."

He laid us both down, pulling me into his arms.

"I love you Demi." He said

"I love you too Chris." I said kissing his lips, closing our eyes

Goodnight
