Let Me Go

Rayna POV

Today is the day I've been waiting for, WWE is in my home town of Charlotte and I can finally give that money to Vince.
I had decided to wait rather then spend money on flights just to hand over a cheque.

As I get in my car I'm filled with nerves, I'm nervous about seeing Vince and I'm nervous about bumping into Jeff. I'm hoping that by going early I won't see him, he never normally gets there early so fingers crossed I can get in and out without issue.

As I park up at the arena I notice my hands are shaking so I take a moment to calm myself down. Just go in hand over the cheque and leave I tell myself like it's that simple. I grab my bag and leave the car. I walk through the quiet familiar corridors eyes darting everywhere looking out for him, but there is no sign.

When I reach the door to Vince's office I knock and wait feeling my entire body start to shake.

"Come in" his voice calls out

I walk in and notice that Vince looks confused, well he wasn't expecting me I never told him I was coming.

"Rayna, it's nice to see you" he smiles

"Wish I could say the same" I sigh taking a seat

"Listen I owe you an apology" he says "I never should have got you involved, my issues with Jeff were my issues and it should have stayed that way"

"I accept your apology and this is for you" I say sliding the cheque towards him

"What's this" he asks looking at the slip of paper

"Every penny I owe you" I say

"Well thank you" he says "any chance you would consider coming back?"

"No" I say shaking my head "my wrestling career is done"

"Thats a shame" he sighs "I really wanted the chance to make it up to you"

"You can" I say "by giving Jeff the push he deserves...no needs"

"Consider it done" he smiles

"Thank you" I smile back "he needs to see you have faith in him"

I stand up from my seat and offer Vince my hand, he takes it and we shake. I give him a nod and then leave the office.
As I head back to the parking lot I feel myself start to relax, the worst is over now I just need to get out of here without being seen.

I had almost made it to my car when....

"Ray?....Ray wait"

Damn it! Why, why did he have to be here? He's never early. I keep walking to my car and say nothing hoping he will leave.

"Ray please" he calls out

It's taking all my strength not to turn and look at him, I unlock my car and open the door but a tattooed hand closes it.

"Ray please I just want to talk" he pleads

"We have nothing to talk about" I say not looking at him

"Yes we do" he says turning me to look at him.

I look at his face, he looks awful, he looks tired, his eyes have dark circles around them and he looks broken. It makes my heart hurt to see him like this, to see what I have done to him but there is nothing I can do to make it better.

"Jeff please, just let me go" I say looking at my feet

"I can't do that Ray" he says "I'm not making the same mistake twice"

"Do yourself a favour and forget about me" I say "you deserve so much better"

"I don't want to forget about you Ray I......" I cut him off before he finishes

"Jeff please dont" I beg "don't say anything else, I'm sorry I have to go"

"Then meet me tonight after the show" he asks "please"

For a moment I'm silent, I just look at him. No matter what I say he is just not going to give up. Maybe I should hear what he has to say, I owe him that much.

"Ok I'll see you after the show" I sigh

"Thank you Ray" he says sounding relived

Before I can say anything he hugs me, my arms wrap around him as though I have no control over them what so ever. I'm not going to lie I've missed his hugs, I've missed everything about him.

"Look I really need to go" I say moving back from him and getting in my car.

"I'll see you tonight" he says smiling for the first time and I find myself smiling back.

The whole drive home all I can think about is how awful Jeff looked. I had honestly thought after what I did that staying away was the best thing to do but after seeing him today I'm beginning to wonder if I've made yet another mistake.

A/n I don't normally do this but this chapter was kind of done of the top of my head and I wanted to apologise if it's not very good.
