Chapter Fourteen: Planning the Wake
The next day I found out the hospital released Randy's body. My family was
coming to the hotelroom today so that we can start planning the wake and the
funeral. When I woke up, I immediately sat up and I combed through my hair.
Things over the past 24 hours haven't been smooth sailing as far as personally
was concerned. And I also found out that I was suppose to go with Phil out to
his promo with Paul Heyman. You know, tonight's the night that Heyman explains
his actions over the past few weeks. But I don't think Phil was in the mood to
do anything. Today's the day he meets my family. AND it's also Monday Night Raw.
Should be interesting huh? Anyway, as I'm sitting on the bed, I felt Phil's
anger. No literally, the entire bed was shaking I felt his anger rising. I
crawled across the bed and wrapped my arms around him. He smiled and he kissed
my arm. "I love you" he said
"And I love you" I said. "And you have nothing to worry about. Tonight will go
smoothly. I promise"
He just held my hand and he said "I hope you're right my love"
Then, I heard a knocking on the door. I took my arms off of Phil and he got up
and he walked to the door and he opened it. "Mr. and Mrs. Orton hello"
"Hi. You must be our daughter's fiance?" said my mom. I got off the bed and I
saw my parents. After my dad and Phil shook hands, he let them in. My parents
walked in and we shared a family moment. After we hugged, Phil got his laptop
out and my dad said "Phillip?"
Phil looked at him and he said "Yes sir?"
"I don't think now is an appropriate time for us to start planning"
"I'm sorry sir" Phil said. I walked over to him and I hugged him. I kissed Phil
on the lips and said "He's still mourning"
"I understand" Phil said.
Then, we all sat down and I felt Phil's arm go around me and him comforting me.
I faintly smiled at him. Then, my father said "So what are you gonna do about
tonight, my boy?"
"Tonight's my promo where I ask Heyman to explain his actions over the past few
weeks"
"Will Skylar be in the ring with you?"
"No mom. I'm gonna be front row ringside" I said.
"Oh? Why?" she asked. Then I looked at Phil and he said "Do you wanna tell
them?"
I nodded my head as I said "The only reason why I'm not going into the ring is
because I'm pregnant"
"Pregnant?!" said both my parents. I nodded my head.
"Is that why you asked my daughter to marry you?" asked my dad.
"Oh no sir. I was going to ask her to marry me even if she wasn't pregnant"
My dad nodded his head in understandment. I looked at my mom and I think she saw
the hurt in my eyes as she pulled me into her arms and hugged me. "It's gonna be
ok, honey" said my mom. I started to cry and she just started rubbing my back
softly. My dad knew how much of a rough childhood me and Randy had. My dad
wasn't around much when me and Randy were growing up. So he can understand why
me and Randy had such a strong bond. At least I think he does. And now that he's
gone. What else is there? Only the love that me and Phil share and the memory of
my brother. After a couple of hours in mourning, it was time for me and Phil to
go to Monday Night Raw. When we had walked into the arena, everyone saw me and
Phil and they knew to stay away. Me and him walked into the actual arena where
the fans would sit. He helped me over the rail and I sat down. Then, he held my
hand on the guard rail and he just rubbed my hand. "It'll be ok baby" he said.
"I know my love" I said. Then, he kissed my head and he left for the backstage
area. Then, into RAW, I heard the record scratch and the fans started cheering.
Then, I saw Phil and he walked straight to the ring and he grabbed a micraphone.
Then, he said, with rage "I know Paul Heyman is in the building, and I know
Brock Lesnar is in the building. And I know I'm not waiting anymore so come on
out boys"
Then, Punk pulled the mic away from his mouth and he waited for Paul Heyman to
come out. Then the arena was filled with boos as Heyman came out and stood on
the stage. Then, he held the mic to his mouth and he said "You know what I'm
looking at right now? I'm looking at an empty ring because in my world; you
don't exist. Try this one on for size, am I lying? in 2005, WWE had no vision
for you. CM Punk was a figment of Paul Heyman's imagination. And what did I do?
I took you in, I befriended you, I taught you, I trained you, I martyred my
entire career for you. And we reached the holy grail together, WE were the
reigning defending WWE Champuon for 434 days, WE were the longest reigning WWE
Champion of the past 25 years, WE came within an inch of breaking the
Undertaker's streak at WrestleMania, WE, CM Punk, WE were the Best In The World.
And here's part of the equation you seem to forget about; without me there is no
'we', without Paul Heyman, CM Punk, you're not the Best In The World. See, you
can boo that all you want, cause everyone's been stopping me and asking me the
same question; 'Paul Heyman, what happened here?' 'Why Paul Heyman?' 'Why did
you betray CM Punk?' 'Paul Heyman you are a Judas'. Here's the truth, because
I'll tell you why I have some version to the truth and the truth is a harder
pill to swallow, Mr. StraightEdge. And a spinon thing; the truth is you failed
us when you couldn't defeat the Undertaker at WrestleMania, and when you went
home, you found yourself, and CM Punk comes back to the WWE," Paul said and he
turned to the ring where Punk was clenching his fists. Then, Paul said "And you
think you're better than me." Paul chuckled and he said "CM Punk better than
Paul Heyman. So I lied to you, I manipulated you, I played you because you can
never claim that CM Punk dumped Paul Heyman. No history is goin to write that
Paul Heyman dumped CM Punk!" Then, as the fans were booing Paul, he would then
go on to say "You didn't want a buisness relationship with me, you wanted to
keep it PERSONAL so I made it as personal as I can possibly make it. You know
this to be true. Here's the truth, you have no family, you're estranged from
your own mother and father, you have no wife, you have no children-" Then, Punk
said "I'm gonna stop you right there Heyman." Then, he walked out of the ring
and walked over to me and he said "See this beautiful, young woman sitting front
row? This is my lovely fiancee WWE Diva Skylar Orton. AND here's a little pill
for YOU to swallow, Heyman; She's pregnant with our first child" I waved around
and the fans started cheering. Me and Phil kissed as Heyman said sarcastically.
"Oh how touching. Well, here's something you two should be prepared for, Mr. and
Mrs. CM Punk. You're going to find out as bad of a reputation as I have in
buisness I'm a whole lot worse personally. And here's the kicker of it all, best
friend, brother, buisness son, man who wouldn't be my client, you made me swear
on my children, but it was my children who made me see this so clear 'Daddy, why
doesn't Punk listen to you like Brock listens to you?' 'Daddy isn't Brock going
to hurt Punk?' 'Daddy, can Punk beat Brock Lesnar?' And if you wanna know why I
double crossed you, why I betrayed you, why I cost you your opportunity to cash
in Money In The Bank and go for the WWE Title, here's the harshest truth of them
all; I betrayed you because CM Punk you can't beat Brock Lesnar!" I saw him feel
the 13 staples in his head that were still left in his head from a few months
ago. I saw his anger in his eyes and I sighed. Punk looked at me and he saw I
was starting to get scared. He sighed a sigh of anger and then he held the
micraphone to his mouth and he said "Are you done?" and everyone in the arena,
including me, knew that he was really pissed off. "You wanna talk about the
truth? I saw first hand last week that the truth does hurts. And maybe I should
have seen it coming but damnit Paul I trusted you and all I have to show for it
now is these 13 staples in my head! And another truth is that you know me better
than anybody-" He stopped and he looked at me and he said, while looking at me
"Well not as much as Skylar." Then he looke back at Heyman and he said "And you
know when I'm lying and you know when I'm telling the truth and you know that
when I want something bad enough I am the most relentless man on the planet, and
I will not stop until I get it! And the truth is Paul; I'm gonna get you" Then
the arena was filled with cheers. "This time, *I* swear on *YOUR* children and
*MY* child that I'm gonna get you" he growled. "And I will get everybody who
conspired against me, every single one of your associates, everyone who profited
from it, everybody who had knowledge of it anybody who enjoyed it, your friends,
your clients, your family, anybody inbetween the time I get my hands on you and
now that steps inbetween you and I and opens their eyes at me I will get my
hands on and I will rip apart and I will hurt!" I sat down because I knew he
meant buisness and I was afraid of him at the time. "You want the truth? The
truth is you don't have a future because I'm gonna burn down everything around
you until you're the last man standing and I'm gonna keep you alive long enough
to you in the eyes and hurt you worst of all. So tell me you son of a bitch! Am
I lying?!"
I looked at Paul and he said "No. No you're not lying and since you wanna tip
your hand and tell me I have a lack of a future, let me spell out your immediate
future for you" Then he got on the ground and he mocked Punk shouting "It's
Clobbering Time!"
Then, I heard Brock Lesnar's ring music. Phil ran into the ring and he prepared
for The Beast Incarnate. I held onto the guard rail nervous as I can be. Then, I
saw him. My eyes locked on Lesnar, but what I didn't see was Heyman running into
the ring and attacking Punk from behind. I immediately snapped my head to the
ring and I covered my mouth in shock as I saw Phil trying to fight off Lesnar.
But Lesnar's strength over powered him and I saw my fiance being decimated by
Lesnar. After Lesnar was done, him and Heyman walked by me. Lesnar looked at me
and he disrespected me and my engagement to Phil by blowing me a kiss. I slapped
Lesnar, but he tried getting in my face. I sat back down, and then Lesnar slowly
walked away with Heyman. I saw Phil slowly crawling towards me. When he reached
to me, he pulled himself up to the guard rail and I held his hand. Then the
security guards helped me over the guard rail and I helped Phil up. We walked
backstage to the trainer's room, where Phil was being checked out by trainers.
He kept on wincing in pain, but I just held his hand. "I'm sorry" he said.
"What for? You did nothing wrong" I said.
"For you having to see me get brutalized" he said.
"I don't give two shits" I said. "You did nothing wrong. If anything, you're the
victim in this"
He sighed and he said "You just don't get it."
"Get what?"
"The soverity of this."
"Ok? What am I suppose to get?"
"You're suppose to understand that being your fiance, I just wanna make you
proud of me"
"And I am proud of you. I've been proud of you ever since I first met you"
"Well why don't you show it to me?!"
"I'm carrying your kid! This has to be the ultimate show of how much I'm proud
of you! AND I'm your fiancee!"
"Why are we arguing about this?!"
"You wanted to know why I don't show how much I'm proud of you and now I'm
telling you! So why are you being a jerk?!"
Then, he was about to say something. But then he just clamped up. He didn't say
anything else. After a minute, he said "I'm sorry. I just don't like seeing you
see me at a low point. Especially tonight"
I slightly smiled and I said "It's fine. And I'm sorry I raised my voice to you"
He looked at me and he put his arm on my waist and he said "It's ok love"
I kissed his cheek. Hey, love conquers all
