Randy and Me
Chapter 25
Don't Forget..
Tomorrow, Natalie would become Mrs. John Cena. Over the last six months, her life had been overcome with stuff dealing with the wedding, so she was semi relieved that the wedding has finally come to an ending.
Right now, she was sitting around, surrounded by the rehearsal atmosphere. John and Drew were speaking with the minister and everyone was just in awwe of the beautiful scenery that was one of the best churches in West Newbury. Her thoughts were soon interrupted by her best friend, Nickie, hitting her on the shoulder.
"Holy Crap! Have you seen Jericho over there? Now, that's fine." Nickie said sitting beside her friend.
"He's ugly."
"You have taste for crap."
"Hmm, John's pretty sexy."
"He's alright."
"What's going on, ladies?" John said walking up to them.
"Talking about you."
"What about?"
"We're discussing who's better looking - you or Jericho."
"Me, definitely."
"That's what I said." Natalie said standing up and hugging him.
"I can't wait to marry you tomorrow."
"Me neither." Natalie kissed him.
After practicing the walk down the aisle a few more times, everyone including Randy and Stacy went to John's house for the rehearsal dinner. At the rehearsal dinner, John made a toast.
"I'd like to thank you all for coming tonight and helping Nat and I celebrate this joyous occasion. Nat, I love you more than what I thought I could love anyone, I want to thank you for making me such a better person," John smiled. "Marc, I want to thank you for being my best man, I love you bro. I want to thank the rest of you again for helping make the biggest day of Nat and I's lives so much better. Cheers!"

"Just think tomorrow at this time, you're going to be Mrs. Cena."
"Crazy thought, eh?" Natalie said cuddling in between his legs.
"I always knew that you would be."
"Really? Even with all the Randy situations?"
"Yeah, because I finally let go of my first love, and now, here you did as well. Man, I'm so psyched."
"Me too." Natalie smiled and kissed him.
Glancing at his watch, John realized it was time to go to his bachelor party.
"As much as I want to lay here forever with you, I'm going to go the party."
"Okay, have fun!" Natalie said kissing him. "Not too much fun!"
"Babe, those strippers will never be as sexy as you are." John winked.
"See ya! Love ya! Tomorrow.."
"Yeah, tomorrow." John said as he walked away.
Natalie, then went to her hotel room where she changed from her fancy outfit to a pair of pajama pants and a Chain Gang shirt. She was shocked to hear someone knocking at the door, when she opened the door, there stood Randy.
"Shouldn't you be at the bachelor party?" Natalie asked scooting in to let him in.
"I wanted to come here first and talk to you about something."
"What would that be?"
"Stacy and I are getting a separation."
"What? You guys were together tonight."
"We've been separated for about a month now, and we just decided we didn't want anyone to know about it."
"Why did you two separate?"
"Mutual decision. She's cheated on me for the last five months with Andrew, and I can't stop thinking about you." Randy looked her in the eye.
Everybody knows that I was such a fool to ever let go of you
And baby I was wrong
And yeah I know I said we'd be better off alone
It was time that we moved on
I know I broke your heart, I didn't mean to break your heart
But baby here I am, banging on your front door
My pride spilled on the floor
My hands and knees are bruised and I'm crawling back to you
I'm begging for a second chance
Are you gonna let me in?
I was running from the truth and now I'm crawling back to you.
I know you aren't there and you can make me wait, but I'm not gonna wait
It's the that least I could do, just to tell you face to face
I was lying to myself, now I'm dying in this hell
Girl I know you're mad
I can't blame you for being mad
If you could see these tears I'm crying
Touch these hands that can't stop shaking
Hear my heart that's barely beating, you would see a different man…
"Randy, what does this mean?"
"It means that you and I can finally be together."
"Randy, you choose to tell me the night before my wedding."
"Natalie, I just didn't think the time was right."
"Everything is planned, and I'm going through with it."
"Through with the wedding?"
"Yes. Randy, you had so many chances to leave Stacy and I would have left John, but John is one of the best things that has ever happened to me, and now, I'm in love with him. I'm sorry, Randy."
"Yeah, whatever. See you. I'll see you tomorrow."
"Don't be mad at me. This is as much your fault as it is my decision."
"Fine, see you." Randy said walking out of the hotel room.
After shedding some tears, Natalie logged onto her computer and seen that she had mail. Surprised, she opened it to see an email from Randy.
I know I walked out of your life five years ago, but now, I regret that moment everyday. I, truly, cannot wait to see you walk down the aisle tomorrow, except for the fact, that I'm not going to be standing up there at the altar with you. You, definitely will make the most beautiful bride. I know you made your decision, but I found the perfect song for us, even though we're not together anymore.
Don't forget about us cuddling during thunderstorms..
Don't forget about us laying on the swing…
Don't forget about everything that we've shared..
And mostly, Don't Forget About Us.. Love, Randy..
As soon as she read this, the lyrics and video for Mariah's "Don't Forget About Us" came on the screen.
(Don't forget about us)
Don't baby, don't baby, don't let it go
No baby, no baby, no baby no
Don't baby, don't baby, don't let it go
My baby boy...
Just let it die
With no goodbyes
Details don't matter
We both paid the price
Tears in my eyes
You know sometimes
It'd be like that baby
Now everytime I see you
I pretend I'm fine
When I wanna reach out to you
But I turn and I walk and I let it ride
Baby I must confess
We were bigger than anything
Remember us at our best
And don't forget about
Late nights, Late nights, playing in the dark and waking up inside my arms
And wakin' up inside my arms
Boy, you'll always be in my heart and
I can see it in your eyes
You still want it
So don't forget about us
I'm just speaking from experience
Nothing can compare to your first true love
So I hope this will remind you
When it's for real, it's forever
So don't forget about us
Oh they say
That you're in a new relationship
But we both know
Nothing comes close to
What we had, it perseveres
That we both can't forget it
How good we used to get it
There's only one me and you
And how we used to shine
No matter what you go through
We are one, that's a fact
That you can't deny
So baby we just can't let
The fire pass us by
Forever we'd both regret
So don't forget about
And if she's got your head all messed up now
That's the trickery
She'll wanna have like you know how this lovin' used to be
I bet she can't do like me
She'll never be MC
Baby don't you, don't you forget about us
Don't baby, don't baby, don't let it go
No baby, no baby, no baby no
Don't baby, don't baby, don't let it go
When it's for real, it's forever
So don't forget about us.
