A/N: This is the reason I chose Jackie. First off, I didn't know it had been used before and thought I would be totally original, failed on that one believe me. So then I thought well who else is there on Raw close to his age that might fit with him. It was a break down between Christy and Jackie and well you all know who won. The jury is still out on Christy but if she shows me she can really fight with something other then a pie then I might make her come in for someone in a later book. I like girls that can fight and if you saw Jackie on Tough Enough she deserved that win believe me, she busted her ass. I also pretty much think Smack Down is a waste of money and air time lately, so I made her jump ship to be with Randy on the better show. I hope that explains my decision a bit better, and if it doesn't then well I don't know what else to tell you. Thank you for the support on chapter two and I hope you like this chapter that's next on deck.

Randy watched as Charlie stormed out of the room and down the hall in the opposite direction of where he was standing. He had heard the screaming coming from the room where Jackie was laid up with only her mind to keep her busy and knew that he had indeed turned out to be an asshole after all.

The doctors came running then, three of them being paged by a nurse that had walked by the room and heard the commotion. Ever since the wrestler had been admitted under high alert, the whole hospital was on guard about who they let into the room when they weren't there to watch the fallout.

As they rushed into the room to obviously find out if she had been harmed in any way, Randy watched through the window and couldn't help but smile. He had hoped Charlie wouldn't make it past the first visit and he hadn't been far off the mark. Sometimes it did pay to wish.

When the doctors had obviously gotten the information they needed and had made their way out of the room and back to deal with their other patients, Randy felt it was time again to enter the room and see if there was anything she needed.

"You mind some company?" he asked, standing by the door in case the answer he wanted wasn't willing to come from her lips. "If you don't want to see anyone after what happened I can take off and come back later." He added for effect, to make the woman without her sight feel more at ease.

"No come on in. I'm up to seeing people—

She realized what she had said and immediately stopped speaking in her tracks. It was obvious from the disturbed look on her face that she hadn't yet come to terms with the fact that she was blind for the time being. Randy hated to be the one to make her focus on it, and immediately felt like kicking himself. Of all the times to come in and make her remember what he had accidentally done to her, it sure wasn't right then.

"I'm sorry about everything Jackie, I didn't mean for any of it to go down the way it did."

"Yeah well I asked for it getting into the match with you guys. If you wouldn't mind though, I would really love to know what happened to cause all of this."

It was apparent that her recollection of the previous Monday night was completely wiped out and he wasn't sure how good he felt about reminding her about what had happened. It was either she didn't remember or just wanted him to make it all clearer for her and her peace of mind.

"Ric was supposed to hit you with something between the eyes, and that was what he did alright, but in the end it shattered your vision in both eyes. I don't really remember anything else after that, just my need to get you the hell out of there."

She nodded her head as he took a seat beside her, obviously recalling what had in fact happened. She had taken one of the hardest hits he had ever seen a woman on Raw take that wasn't in a match with Snitsky. It wasn't one of his shining moments either, as he had been down on the mat from being beaten on by Adam.

"So then why are you saying your sorry now?" she questioned lightly, letting her hand be taken by his, softly and not at all like Charlie's before it.

"I shouldn't have allowed any of it to happen. I thought Flair was going to use something where you could at least deflect what would happen, but apparently he had to go all out."

She could sense the guilt radiating off of him and didn't know what to say to make it any better. The only good news she had gotten in the past hour had been a clear conscience over Charlie and the news that she would be getting out of there today providing she had someone to take her home and care for her until she could do it alone.

"Randy I knew better then to do what I did getting into the match with you guys right away after signing with Raw. It has nothing to do with you and I wish you wouldn't feel so guilty over it. It probably won't be permanent."

Even as she spoke the words she knew there was no guarantee on what would await her once she got out of the hospital. The doctor had assured her that what he had seen would not be permanent but things changed with every passing hour. It didn't give her much stock in herself, of that she was certain.

"Well despite that, I wish there was something more I could do for you what with all that happened. Ric didn't come by and check in with you, so it leaves me feeling as if I am the only one that cared what happened."

"That's because you probably are. People in this business are cruel. I mean look what they did to me on Smack Down; it wasn't the classy way to treat someone who can wrestle. People just don't care."

"For what it's worth, I care, and I am willing to do just about anything to make sure you get through this alright."

She smiled then, not being able to see him but knowing with the feel of his hand held softly over hers just where he was located. It was sweet of him to be so caring when in the end it had nothing to do with him anymore. Maybe there was a way they could both get what they wanted. She needed someone to make sure she got back on her feet, and he needed to make himself feel useful. As she went over the odds she realized it was a win situation for them both.

"If you want to help that badly there is something you can do for me that no one else can at this point."

"Name it." He announced quickly, wanting more then anything to be able to help the woman in the bed beside him now.

"Take me home and stay with me until I get used to all of this on my own."

"Does it get any easier then this? Look at the two of them! If I didn't know better I would say they are already falling for one another." Stacy said, clapping her hands together and fighting the urge to jump up and down on the cloud.

She might now be in heaven, but some things never changed when it came to what her body could do when she put her mind too it. Jeff thought the same thing as he watched her flailing around acting like a three year old on her birthday.

"It's not over yet." Matt said, watching Stacy as Jeff had and wanting to burst her little bubble just this once. Jeff had been the same way when he had been chosen to put Stacy with Paul and look at how that had turned out. The last thing she needed to see was another death.

"Matt man, I thought you said you were going to ease up on the downer pills. She has a right to be happy. It's her best friend who is down there falling for the blind girl." Jeff said, throwing his brother a glare telling him mentally not to fight with him at that moment because he wouldn't win.

"Well you were the same way little brother and look how your love matches turned out." Matt quipped, forgetting that the woman he had been sent to help was indeed now with them and probably not wanting to hear about how she had died.

"Screw you Matt. Love is about happiness and if Stacy wants to hop clouds right now I say that she has the right too. You aren't Lord and master anymore then I am."

Stacy smiled at Jeff and turned back to watch what was now happening below. She had been worried in life that Randy would never really find the right one for him, and looking down on him now; she sure had to admit how wrong she was.

It looked like things were moving along nicely, which meant in no time at all she would be back in Paul's arms right where she had belonged all this time. All she had to deal with now was Matt's attitude and clarifying something she had wanted to say for a long time.

"Jeff didn't kill me Matt, and he didn't cause me to lose the baby anymore then I did. They happened for very valid reasons and in the end, when I am back on earth with the man I love; you will see what I mean."

Jeff walked over to where she now sat on the cloud awaiting the next turn of events for her friend. Not wanting to intrude but wanting his own kind of company, he sat down beside her, watching what was unfolding and feeling a warm sense of pride.

"I believe you will get your wish Stacy."
