A/N: Thank you all to everyone that reviewed the last story in the series and to anyone thus far that has reviewed this one. I tend to do thank you chapters at the end of each story because I want each person to have their own unique thank you for all the support they give me, so if you are new to my writing and I do not thank you here personally, just wait until the end and you will get the thank you that you deserve. This chapter will tell you who the female lead really is, since I didn't tell you that in the first chapter and it will also sow together some of the seeds for the romance in later chapters. No one dies in this one folks, so the sadness will be there but on the down low. To Lori I just want to say this, after going back and reading the review chapters on all of my stories, you did not do 70 percent but by far close to 90. So please accept my apologies on the error in the thank you chapter of a Walk to Remember.


He couldn't remember the last time he slept. He only knew that it had been what felt like weeks ago. He shouldn't have been in the ring that night, and he knew better then to get in the ring with a female and go all out. The last thing he had wanted to happen always seemed too and for that he would always be eternally sorry.

Making his way back to the archway where he would continue with his waiting he noticed a blond haired man already sitting there, the expression on his face one that couldn't be hidden no matter how far away Randy had been from him.

As he stumbled closer he noticed who the man was and his stomach immediately hit rock bottom. There had been a huge party only six months before to celebrate the upcoming nuptials of this couple so it would be hard not to know why he was here, but Randy knew instantly he didn't like it, not one bit.

"Charlie man what are you doing here? Did someone call you and tell you what happened on Raw?"

Charlie turned to him then, his face unmistakably ashen and tear stained as if someone very close to him had died. It was only when he spoke that Randy knew this wasn't going to turn into a social visit. Not by a long shot.

"No one needed to call me you asinine jerk. I knew she was making a mistake heading back to Raw again what with all the guys on the show trying to prove themselves. I wasn't far off either considering what I just found out her prognosis was. What the hell were you thinking out there man? You could have killed her."

Randy ran a hand through what was now left of his hair, which he had shaved after one of the biggest matches of his career with Triple H only months before. He didn't have the words to tell Charlie how upset he was himself at what had happened. The only thing he really had going for him now was that he had taken her away from the match and done what was needed so that indeed she wasn't laying dead somewhere.

"Jackie agreed to the match Charlie, what the hell was I supposed to do. The last time I checked she was a grown woman who knows the impact of the job."

It was obviously taking everything within Charlie not to hit him then and there, and Randy couldn't have been happier that they were both standing in the middle of a hospital wing at that moment. The last thing he wanted to do now was get into a fist fight with Charlie over his fiancée.

That's right pal, she isn't your woman, and you have no business being here with her now. His inner voice had been brow beating him for the last two days, and he knew better then to argue with it. It was always right. The only thing he knew now was that he had to stay with her, because no matter what way you shook the dice, it was his match that had done this to her. No matter what Charlie Haas or anyone else thought.

"Yeah well she can't see anymore Randy, so if you can live with that then I guess there is nothing left to say. If you don't mind, I need to go be with her now. Let her know that she isn't alone in all of this."

As Charlie walked away Randy wondered if he was really the one that Jackie was going to depend on at a time like this. He didn't want to admit this to anyone, most of all himself but he did wonder if maybe he wasn't a better man for the job. Sure Charlie might care about her, but caring didn't always make someone better.

He also wasn't about to admit to himself that no matter what he had done to help her, he was still the one at the end of the night that was still at fault. Whether Charlie wanted him there or not, he had to make sure he stood by her and helped her get back to the one thing she loved as much as her life.


"Jackie its Charlie, you don't need to worry now I am here for you."

She heard him and turned her head to where she thought the sound was coming from. If the sound had come from the left hand side of the room she was in, then that obviously meant he had to be standing there as well right?

"No baby, I am on the other side of you." Charlie said, taking her hand into his and sitting down in the chair beside her. "I am so sorry that I couldn't get here any sooner then now. You must have been going through hell without me."

As she felt his hand above hers, strong and tensed as always was the case with Charlie she realized that as hellish as this experience had been, she hadn't been going through any of it alone. Randy had been there with her the whole time making it seem a lot less worse then it really was.

What are you thinking Jackie? Randy isn't the man you are set to marry in six months. The man sitting in front of you and begging to care for you is. Get your damn mind out of the gutter.

Her inner voice had been telling her that for hours now, especially after Randy had made his last visit less then an hour beforehand. She knew the reaction she was having with Randy and then now with Charlie was mixed and the sooner she forgot about the man outside the room the better it would be for everyone. Then why was she having a hard time thinking of anyone else but Randy?

"Really Charlie, it has been fine."

"Is that all you have to say to me at a time like this? Why the hell were you in the match to begin with?"

She tensed up at the sound of his voice, wondering what his face looked like right at that moment. Of all the people to ask her what she was doing out there in the ring, she hadn't thought it would be Charlie. It seemed more along the lines of her own father and his attitude toward the life she led.

"It's our job remember? I can't believe you would even have to ask that." She replied, keeping her voice as cool as possible but feeling the weight of his hand getting tighter around hers even as she spoke.

"Yes but those guys don't care about anyone else but themselves."

"Well they obviously cared enough to make sure I got here before something worse happened."

"There is something worse then being blinded?" Charlie shot back at her, making her blood instantly run cold and her patience reach its end. "I can't see how there could be something much worse then that to contend with."

"So what's your point here Charlie? Are you feeling the need to rub it in? Did I deserve this because I didn't listen to you and quit and stay home and having babies?"

He broke away from her then; making her wonder if she had overstepped her boundaries. Don't you dare back down, this is your job and your life that has been affected not his. Her inner voice hit at just the right time because she sensed he was only a minute away from walking out of the room altogether. She knew that anytime they came close to fighting he always got that way near the end of it and it made her sick just thinking about it.

"Well if you had done what I told you too then this wouldn't have happened now would it?"

By that point she had already had enough and didn't need this one last shot to take her over the edge. He always thought he knew what was best for her, and even on his worst day her father had never been that bad. There was only so much that a person could take and with that in mind she made the first decision since learning she was blind.

"Charlie, screw you!" she screamed not allowing herself to back down any longer. "You want a girlfriend, a wife that will listen to what you say all the time? You think having someone at your beck and call will make you really happy? Then go and find her asshole because we are no longer. Now I want you to leave before I have to push this little button under my fingers."


They all watched in awe at what was taking place before them and finally understood what the other Angels had been talking about when they were told who the new couple meant to be together would be. It just didn't make any sense that it had happened so fast.

"I always knew that guy was an asshole." Matt said kind of wondering what he would have to pay for swearing in the great beyond. "What the hell did she see in him?"

Jeff looked at his brother, also taken aback by the amount of language that was falling out of his brother's mouth. "Dude, I don't think you are allowed to say hell in heaven. That is like a no-no or something."

Stacy laughed and watched the two brothers carrying on before her. Of all the people she had been expecting to see upon her entrance to heaven, it was funny that it had to be these two. What she didn't get enough of in life, she was now seeing too much of in heaven. What was the point of having a female God if she didn't hand on better assignments?

"Guys, the point here isn't the swearing, it is the fact that the woman who should be with Randy has now become available and attainable to us and the powers that be."

Both brothers turned to her then, letting down their guards and remembering the lady in the room with them now. "Sorry Stacy, you're right as always." Jeff said first, smacking his brother and forcing him to do the same thing.

"Yeah Stacy, just what Jeff said, I reciprocate."

She nodded and they all went back to watching what was happening below them which were now at the closing curtain. She hadn't been here for more then a few weeks and already she had something to take her mind of the love she shared with Paul. If she couldn't have what she really wanted, she could darn sure make it happen for her best friend.

"You want to place a bet on how long this one will take to bag?" Matt asked nonchalantly, wondering what heaven was like for talk of betting.

"That's a no-no too older brother." Jeff said taking the chance and reading his brothers mind. From the look Matt then gave him, he second guessed ever doing it again.

"It's Randy, he already feels something for her, or he wouldn't be here. This shouldn't take that much time. By then I should be back on earth and with the man I love."

"Fat chance princess, you are here with the two of us until the end of existence, or didn't the brochure tell you that?" Matt said, staring at her with an uneasy glare. He knew she had made some sort of deal but he had no idea what it was and if it would indeed take her home again.

She just smiled innocently at him, walking back to the edge of the cloud to watch the couple below them. If they only knew what her deal was about they wouldn't be eager to point out how long she would be really there for. First things first though, she had to make sure she got Randy and Jackie together pronto.


A/N2: I will explain in my authors note in the next chapter why I chose her, and also why I felt the need to make her switch shows. Don't worry people, in my mind choosing her made the most sense.
