It had been a week since Alanna's death and it was time for her funeral, and the fans had been in mourning for her on Smackdown. They did a really beautiful tribute for her showing her with John and all the work she did for the WWE. A couple of the Divas and Superstars came and did really sweet speeches on her since she was loved by all. John Cena was not on that Smackdown that night since it was way too hard on him, and he refused to comment on what happened that night.
All the WWE superstars and divas had gathered at the church, and they were the only ones there because Alanna had no family. Alanna was lying in a white coffin wearing a white pantsuit with a light blue top, her blond hair surrounded her head like a halo. Her make up was done perfectly, and she looked like she was sleeping peacefully instead of being dead. The church was covered in roses and cala lilies, Alanna's favorite flowers. There was not a dry eye in the church as Amazing Grace was being played throughout the church halls. When it was done the minister said, "Now John Cena would like to say a few words."
Everyone was surprised as John emerged from the side door of the church, since no one had seen him since last Sunday. John was wearing a all black suit, his eyes looked puffy from all the tears and lack of sleep, and he was carrying a red rose. He came up to the podium and looked at his follow WWE superstars as he said, "Thank you Reverend." When the reverend sat down and John began to speak, "A week ago was supposed to be the best night of my life. I had won the WWE championship from Kurt Angle, and it was supposed to be perfect... but the victory was bittersweet because I lost something that was more important that any title. I lost the love of my life... Alanna Richardson. When Dawn Marie disappeared... Alanna came into my life like a breath of fresh air." He smiled lightly, the continued, "After that life became wonderful, and we first kissed, I knew that I was in love with her..." John sighed as he remembered that moment well.
FLASHBACK
He winced she placed the cloth on his wound, "Ow! Damn it all to hell!"
"Sorry, and watch the language!" said Alanna and continued to clean the wound. John started to fidget and Alanna sighed, "Stop moving."
"I can't help it, it hurts!"
"You are being such a baby!"
"Please I am 27 years old!"
"Well you are acting like my three year old nephew! Now relax I am I done" She finished cleaning the wound and threw that cloth away. She got up again and grabbed some ointment and a bandage, she sat back down on his lap and placed it on his forehead. "There, now was that so hard?"
"No," said John, "thank you."
"Your welcome."
"How did you know how to do that?"
"I've had a lot of practice," said Alanna as she then kissed the bandage. "There now it should be all better." She laughed and John loved how it sounded.
John laughed as he said, "It is now." He looked into her eyes and smiled at her. Alanna smiled back, but both their smiles slightly faded when John's eyes moved to her lips. She got lost in his eyes and the connection between them pulled them together and suddenly their lips met in a passionate kiss. John wrapped one arm around her waist while his other one slipped through her hair feeling its softness and pulling her closer to him. Alanna wrapped her arms around John and opened her mouth, allowing John's tongue to slip in. Their tongues did a slow tango as John glided the hand from her hair down the length of her back. They felt like the whole world disappeared and that they were the only people were there. John suddenly thought, "My God, I am in love." A couple minutes later they broke the kiss to get some air, John and Alanna were panting for breath afterwards.
END FLASHBACK
"And when we confessed our love to each other... that was the best moment of my life, since I knew that the woman I loved returned my feelings." He remembered that moment too.
FLASHBACK
"Alanna there is something strong between us, I feel you, and I can see it in your eyes, you feel this too. Let's not deny what is in our hearts."
"John," said Alanna, "there is something you must know." Alanna was about to confess that she was sent to protect him by the FBI, but suddenly she looked into his eyes and everything she wanted to say just faded away. Suddenly she felt something in her heart that she had not felt since Jason died... love. She realized that she was in love with John Cena and she could not live without him. Out of nowhere she lowered his lips to hers and kissed her with such a passion, that it left John shocked. But suddenly John began to kiss her back with equal passion. John lifted her up into the air and Alanna wrapped her legs around his waist. When she broke the kiss, she looked at him and said the words John longed her hear, "I love you too Cena." John smiled and kissed her again, then took her into her bedroom where the spent the whole night giving into love.
END FLASHBACK
John sighed as he felt the tears beginning to flood his eyes, "Everything was going perfect... until that night." He took a deep breath as he flashbacked to what happened one week ago.
FLASHBACK
"Come on John you can do it!" She slapped the mat as John was inching toward the rope since he was in the Ankle Lock and she got the crowd to root John on. He finally got to the ropes and Kurt pulled him back to the center of the ring, but then John kicked out of it. He quickly got up and went after Kurt. He whipped Kurt to the ropes and knocked him down with a shoulder block. He then went and did the five knuckle shuffle, but he only got a two count. He then signaled for the F-U, knocked down Luther Reigns from the ring, but suddenly he was grabbed for the Angle Slam, but John reversed it and got the F-U for the win.
"Your winner and the NEW WWE Champion... JOHN CENA!" said Jimmy Kimmel as Alanna slid into the ring and smiled as the ref gave John the title. She and the ref rose his hands in victory, John was smiling and crying with joy as he pulled Alanna into his arms. He then spun her around in a circle and she then let him got to celebrate for the fans.
Alanna was clapping her hands and watched Cena, but then noticed the red dot on his chest. "JOHN!" she screamed, ran up to him, and pushed him down just as Hart took the shot. The bullet landed right into her shoulder as she and John landed on the ring. The crowd was shocked at what happened and were scared for Alanna. John was pushed out of the ring and out of Jack's reach.
John was surprised that Alanna had shoved him out of the ring, but as he got up he noticed that Alanna was lying in the ring, and bleeding. "Oh my God, Alanna!" he screamed as he slid back into the ring and up to her. He was shocked that she had taken a bullet for him, and that she was bleeding pretty bad. "Alanna, oh god, I am so sorry." Alanna moaned in pain and waved him off as if saying don't worry about it. "I love you."
Alanna looked at him and between groans said, "I love you too." He kissed her sweetly and held her hand.
The medics ran down and quickly got Alanna on the stretcher and ran quickly to the ambulance. When John wanted to ride in the ambulance, the EMT said, "Sorry sir, we can not let you ride with us."
"I understand completely," said John and the ambulance drove to the hospital. John quickly hopped into his car and drove to the hospital. He ran to the main desk and asked the nurse who was sitting there, "Where is Alanna Richardson?"
Just then the doctor arrived, "Are you John Cena?"
"Yes I am," said John, "how is Alanna?"
The doctor sighed, "I think you should sit down for this." When John sat down the doctor gave John the new he never wanted to hear, "I am sorry to say this... but we lost her."
John looked at the doctor, "What?" His heart stopped for a minute as he thought he heard the doctor wrong.
"John... Ms. Richardson is dead. She went into cardiac arrest during the surgery and we could not revive her."
"No... she can't be dead. Not her, not... my Alanna. Not Alanna!" He then got up and rang out of the hospital and into the rain. He ran a good hundred yards before he ended up in the park and fell to his knees. "ALANNA!!!" he screamed as he began to cry as he felt like his heart was pulled out of his chest and Big Show stepped on it.
END FLASHBACK
"The best and worst moments happened in my life that night, I gained a title, only to lose the woman I loved." He wiped the tears from his eyes and he then looked at Alanna's body. "Alanna was the one person who understood me like no other. She knew how to make me smile, how to comfort, and mostly how to love. She taught me to love again, but now she is gone. I know she is at peace again and that she is always in my heart. Alanna we all love you, and will miss you forever." After he finished John made his way to her coffin, he placed the rose over her folded hands, and whispered softly, "I love you, and will always love you." He then kissed her lips, closed her coffin and then made his way to a pew. He felt the hands of a couple superstars on his shoulders in comfort.
The minister then said, "Let us pray," and everyone bowed their head in a silent prayer. A couple minutes later, everyone said "Amen." Then, John, Kurt Angle, Billy Gunn, Eddie Guerrero, Rob Van Dam, and Vince McMahon surrounded the coffin. Everyone stood up as the six men rolled the coffin down the aisle and then lifted it off and placed it into the Hurst. Everyone got into their cars and drove to the graveyard where Alanna was to be buried. The coffin was then placed in the grave site right next to her husband Jason's grave.
After another prayer, the coffin was then lowered to the ground, and one by one the superstars then each dropped a handful of dirt onto the coffin and said their final goodbyes to a good friend. John waited until everyone left and he then finally broke down and cried, "Please Alanna come back to me! I need you! I can't go on without you! Please come back to me." A couple minutes later John finally pulled himself together and went to the hotel room he was staying in, lied in bed and began to wonder how he was going to go on without Alanna.
