Armageddon-December 16, 2007

Lena's POV

It had been almost a month since I last talked to Chris. Since then things had been awkward between us. I always tried talking to him, but he would push me away. Eventually I just stopped trying to contact him and moved on with my life. Since I stopped talking to Chris, things had surprisingly gotten better between me and Randy. I don't know what caused his change of heart, but I didn't really care. My bruises seemed to fade with time and soon my skin was almost bruise free.

Now it was Armageddon. For the weeks leading up to it Randy and Chris had been in an intense feud. Each week leading up to Armageddon Randy interfered in whatever Chris was doing. Of course, I usually had to accompany him to the ring. Each week the results would end up in a beating of some sort. At first it hurt me to see Chris being beat down by Randy. But eventually my worry turned into anger. I was mad at Chris for leaving me. Soon I found myself encouraging Randy when he was in the ring.

Now I find myself sitting in catering sitting with Mickie James and Maria as they debated where to go tonight after Armageddon. I was suppose to help pick out a place, but my mind was already wandering.

"Lena!" Mickie shouted at me.

"What?" I asked as I shook my head.

"Get your head out of the clouds and help us pick out a place to go tonight." Mickie told me.

"I don't really care to be honest with you." I told her.

"What's going on with you? You're really spacey." Maria asked concerned.

"I'm fine, really. Things have been great." I said, smiling a little.

"Randy seems to be such a sweetheart around you! If I was his wife I would watch out." Mickie joked.

Maria and I laughed as Mickie smiled. Suddenly Mickie's smile fell as she looked over my head. Maria and I looked at her in confusion.

"What are you looking at Micks?" Maria asked.

"Don't look back Lena." Mickie whispered to me.

Of course since Mickie said that to me I just had to look back. When I did my eyes grew wide. I gasped and ran behind Mickie's chair and bent down to hide. I peaked out from behind Mickie to make sure I was seeing the right thing.

Randy's wife was looking for me. I was sure of it.

Did Randy know she was here? Maria bent over the table and whispered something to Mickie that I couldn't hear. Mickie hushed her as Sam walked over to the table.

"Excuse me. Have any of you girls seen Lena Lorenzo? She's my husbands escort." She asked.

"Nope. Not at all." Mickie asked quickly.

"So you don't see her hiding behind you." Sam pointed out as she looked right at me.

I avoided looking right into her brown eyes as I slowly stood up. I eventually faced her and looked her in the eye. She was really pretty. Her brown eyes looked soft against her dark brown hair. The thing that distracted me was her wedding ring.

"So you must be Lena." She stated.

"That would be me." I said laughing nervously.

"Can I talk to you? In private?" She said, looking at Mickie and Maria.

"Yeah. We can go into Randy's room. I don't think he's there right now." I asked her.

"Wherever works for me." She said shrugging her shoulders.

I lead the way out of catering and out into the hall. The whole time we walked it was in silence. My nervousness and fear grew with each passing second we didn't talk. What did she want to talk to me about? I opened the door to Randy's room once we got door and held it open for Sam. She smiled slightly as walked in. I closed the door slowly behind me. As soon as I closed the door Sam completely transformed. Her eyes narrowed at me as she crossed her arms under her chest.

"Who the hell do you think you are." She said glaring at me.

"Huh?" I asked confused.

"I know what you've been doing to my husband. You can't pull one over on me." Sam said matter-of-factly.

"I have no idea what you're talking about." I answered truthfully.

"I know what you're trying to do! Ever since you became Randy's escort he's changed. When he comes home he's not the warm and gentle man I remembered." Sam told me.

"I can assure you…" I started to say before being cut off.

"And now he's just completely ignoring me. I try talking to him but he always has to go. I know what's going on and I'm telling you that YOU need to stop." Sam warned.

"I haven't done anything!" I said defending myself.

"Then what's going on? Has Randy done anything to make him this way?" She asked me.

I opened my mouth, but closed it quickly. What would she say if I told her that her husband use to be abusive? What would happen if I told her that he use to beat me daily? Or that now since I ignored the man I cared about so much we've become much more closer? I decided to keep my mouth shut as I looked down at the ground.

"Just as I thought. My husband isn't at fault here at all." She said, winning her argument.

"No, he isn't." I whispered lying.

"If you don't wanna tell me what your doing then fine. But whatever it is you need to stop. Got it?" Sam told me.

"Got it." I said, still looking down.

I moved out of the way so Sam go get out. I watched her as she walked slowly out of the door. Once she was out of view I saw him standing there as he watched her go too. I stood there in shock as his eyes met mine.

"You can never tell the truth can you?" Chris asked.

"Chris…" I started to say before Chris held up his hand.

"You couldn't even tell his wife. Your life is a lie Lena." Chris told me.

"For your information I haven't been hit since I stopped talking to you." I said angrily.

"Oh so you getting hit was all my fault now." Chris argued.

"Well it sure as hell was half of it." I spat out.

"And to think...never mind." Chris said before walking off.

"Wait…what were you gonna say?" I asked him, suddenly interested.

"Nothing. Just forget it." Chris said before walking off.

I was left alone in the hallway as Chris turned the corner. I shook my head as I walked back into Randy's room. As I closed the door it was opened once more. Someone pushed me against the couch and I fell right into it.

"What the hell was Sam doing in my room? And why were you talking to Chris!" Randy asked enraged.

"Sam wanted to talk to me about you but I didn't say anything I swear!" I told him as I was suddenly filled with fear.

"What did she say." Randy snarled.

"She said that whatever I was doing to you I needed to stop because you had changed. She asked if you had anything to do with it and I didn't say a word." I told him as I cowered against the couch.

Randy laughed as he walked over to me. He crouched down and looked right into my eyes. He smiled, which instantly made me melt.

"The only thing your doing is being so damn gorgeous and I don't want you to stop." Randy whispered.

Suddenly Randy pressed his lips against mine. He pushed me down to the floor and started to kiss my neck. I tried pushing him off but I couldn't move him. Our lips met one last time before he lifted himself off me. His hand lifted as he slapped me hard across the face. I held my hand to where he slapped me. A familiar sting rose in my left cheek.

"Don't say anything to Sam about this. And no more talking to Chris. Got it?" Randy asked of me.

I nodded my head as Randy walked out of his room. After a while I got up off the floor and got a cold cloth. I held it up to my cheek and leaned against a wall.

Just like that I was out of paradise and back into reality.
