20. Could Be Different
Neve POV
When Cody had brought me home from the hospital I had been none too pleased to find my mother waiting for me at the house. I had protested to Cody but he simply shrugged at me and said "I had no choice, I'm not available 24/7. It could have been alot different if you hadn't been so stupid"
With that he handed over control of my chair to my mother and left. My mother was the last person I needed right now, she had never wanted me to wrestle in the first place, veiwing it as dangerous so all I was getting was I told you so's much to my annoyance.
"Good morning sweetheart, time to get you up and about" my mom says breezing into my room
"Is it? I want to get myself up today" I say and she places her hands on her hips
"I know this isn't easy for you and I know you are very independent but need I remind you what happened the last time you tried?" She says and I roll my eyes
Last time I had placed my feet on the floor, got myself to my feet and then crumpled to the floor. Apparently when you have no feeling in your legs they aren't there at all.
"Fine" I sigh and then it happens again, my mind drifts to Damian and how different it could have been had I not pushed him away. I could imagine the way he would have done things and I would much prefer him helping me but I had burned that bridge.
I had tried to call him but he wouldn't take my calls. I could understand that he was angry and hurt and who could blame him.
I sit myself on the edge of the bed and my mom helps me dress my bottom half before passing me a bra and t shirt. As I begin to dress there is a knock at the door.
My mom tuts before heading off to answer it. I hear my door slowly open but what I see makes my blood boil - Rhea holding a bouquet of flowers.
"Hi" she says nervously
"You've got some fucking nerve showing your face here" I snap "what do you want"
"I wanted to talk to you" she says
"I have nothing to say to you" I snap
"That's fine I just need you to listen she says placing the flowers down and taking a seat "first I want to apologise, I went too far I know that now. I got so deep into being a heel I let it consume me but I never meant for this to happen......"
"What did you think would happen?" I ask "that I bounce up off the floor and then land on my feet?"
"No of course not, I knew you would get hurt but not like this.....I never would have wanted you to end up like this. Second I really think you should speak to Damian. I know I thought it was an act but I see now that it isn't, he's a mess, he needs you more than you know. I promise you he knew nothing about what I planned it was last minute no one knew but me"
"I'd like to believe you but he won't answer my calls so he clearly doesn't want to speak to me" I say
"Ah, well when you wouldn't take his, he threw his phone at the wall and smashed it and the sim card. He has a new number and he lost yours" she says "well I've said what I wanted to say, these are for you and I hope we see you back real soon......definitely before me" she says giving me a half smile as she places the flowers in my arms.
I watch her leave and then look at the card attached to the bouquet.
Mi amor
I broken my phone and have a new number.
Please call me, I miss you so much
I love you always

At the bottom underneath his name is a phone number - Rhea had been telling the truth, but was she telling the truth about everything.
"Sorry she wouldn't take no for an answer" my mom sighs "oh they are beautiful, here I'll put them in some water......D......is that the young man you told me about?" She asks and I nod as I tear falls down my cheek
"I'll be right back and then you can tell me what happened" she says wiping my tear "maybe together we can fix it" she smiles and I nod
"Thank you mom......for everything" I say "I know I've been a nightmare but I do appreciate you taking care of me"
"You are my baby girl, you always will be" she smiles "and I will always take care of you even when you don't want me to, here while you wait why don't you give him a call" she says handing me the card before leaving the room.
I pick up my phone and dial the number, I listen to it ring and just as I think he isn't going to answer he does.
"Hello?" His deep voice
"Hi D" I say softly
"Neve! Baby! You have no idea how happy I am to hear your voice" he breaths "please tell me we can work this out"
"We can work that out together" I say "thank you for the flowers they are beautiful"
"Flowers? What flowers?" He asks "I haven't sent you any flowers"
