Disclaimer: I still only own, Cori, Adriana, and XA/N.

A/N: Well, as you might've guessed, I'm getting into a swing of updates now. (I have to go back to school next week, so I hope to be finished with this story by then.) But fear not, oh loyal reviewers!!! For I have another story accumulating in my head....I can't tell you any more than that.

XA/N: A mystery person was about to be revealed.

"JB, who is it?" Lizzie yelled at her. The man stepped out from the darkness so that everyone could see his face. It was none other than.......

Shawn Michaels

Shawn stepped out into the light, and kept his right arm firmly clutched. He had blood all over him. He looked like a wreck.

But he was alive, and that's what counts.

Everyone soon realized why JB had been so shocked when she saw who it was. Shawn was supposed to be dead, so why was he here?

"How did you escape?" Rockie asked suspiciously, remembering the Lizzie clone from SHWM's XA/N. Shawn looked up.

"After the water drained down a little farther, a vent on my side of the room appeared. The gator happened to catch a piece of me though." Shawn said. Another person walked up behind him.

"This girl was in one of the tunnels and we started to walk around the tunnels together." He said, motioning to HBKSteph, whom was behind him. (BTW, I'm going to shorten that, and we'll call her just Steph. Sound good?)

The group nodded at her, and then began to discuss which way they planned on going through the ventilation system. They all crowded into the center of the junction and began to talk about it. As they were talking, the vent suddenly closed up, leaving only the area where all of them were.

"Great." Jericho mumbled. Lizzie walked over to him and he put his arm around her protectively. Rock walked over to Rockie who was trying to figure out some sort of new ninja move that would bring the doors down. Kazza mumbled something about being claustrophobic, and Edge only held her tighter. Blazer was looking for something to climb up to the vent she saw up there. Shawn and Steph were talking a lot about something and JB was listening to a strange noise. (That was a mouthful.)

"Something's coming!!!" JB yelled as a rumbling became more audible.

To be continued.......

Chris sat next to Shawn in one of the pink, plastic hospital chairs. Cori had her head in his lap and Cameron sat at his feet. Shawn was slipping in and out of consciousness; so there was no need to even try to start talking to him.

The doctors believed that his spine was shot. None thought he would ever walk or even sit up again. Chris knew better. He knew that Shawn would make it out of this again. Hell, he'd even bet that Shawn would be up by Summerslam.

Shit. He'd already forgotten about Summerslam. He knew who he wanted to challenge. RVD. RVD was going to wish he'd never met the man named Chris Irvine, but called by so many, Chris Jericho. He'd also wish he'd never laid eyes on Cori Irvine.

But Shawn had a match against Hunter at Summerslam, too. Shawn was supposed to be ready and able to fight Hunter. What if he wasn't?

"Chris." Shawn mumbled.

"Yeah?"

"Tell me what they are saying is good." He said, referring to the doctors. Chris shook his head.

"It's not. They don't think that you'll ever walk again."

"Heh, they said that last time too." Shawn said, propping himself up. He then made his way to a sitting position, then finally swung his legs over the bed and tried to stand.

"Shawn what are you-?!?!" Chris asked not taking his eyes on the miracle that was happening before him. Shawn was standing up, right in front of him!! The man had been hit with a freaking car!!

"God works in mysterious ways, Chris. Don't ever forget that." He said, the promptly walked over to the bathroom and shut the door.

Chris' jaw was almost hanging down to the floor. Had he just seen what he thought he saw? He pinched himself to make sure. Yup, he had just seen Shawn Michaels walk across the hospital room to take a leak. Chris shook his head and happened to glance out the window. He saw a woman being rushed into the hospital, and he decided to check it out.

Chris walked out in the lobby and watched the scene play out in front of him. The woman was already dead. And, they hadn't rushed her in like he thought. As a matter of fact, that girl looked just like.....Then it hit him.

That girl on the gurney was Adriana.

Chris felt his eyes begin to sting. He walked into the group of people, and demanded to know what was going on.

"She shot herself. Nice-sized bullet, went clean through her skull." One of the paramedics said. All of the harsh words he had said to her suddenly came back to him.

"Was there anything with her? Like a note or something?" Chris asked frantically.

"Yeah, actually there was, here." Said another paramedic. "You're name's Chris right?"

"Yeah."

"Then it's for you." The guy said, handing him the letter and wheeling her away. Chris felt the hot tears streaming down his face as he walked back to Shawn's room. Cameron and Shawn were chasing each other around the room, both stopped when they saw Chris.

"What happened to you, it looks like someone stole your balloon?" Shawn said. Chris ripped open the envelope the letter was in and silently read it to himself.

(Chris,

I know that we were never on the best of terms after I left you. I also know that you had reason to hate me. Cori hates me; I can see the resentment in her eyes. She's very protective of you; do you know that? Chris, I never meant to hurt you. But, truthfully I was never in love with you. That might be hard for you to come to terms with. I didn't feel like causing you any more pain, so I have decided to end my life here. I cheated you Chris, and cheaters must pay a price.

Adriana)

Chris held the letter in his hands and Shawn came over to read it. Chris couldn't help but feel guilty. The pain he was feeling wasn't that huge. It was only a little sad to him. He knew that was horrible, but he did, and he said so. Shawn shrugged it off.

"Some people can let go faster than others, it's a fact of life." Shawn said, then started to chase Cameron around again. Chris sat down in the chair again and put the letter in his pocket where he would remember to take it out. He felt a chapter of his life suddenly coming to an end. His aching heart would finally heal.
