MissPhilippinesSuperStar: As I said before, you need to find out if it's Shawn 'grin' Whoever it is, drama is on its way 'grin' Thanks for the review and I hope you like the new chapter 'huggles'
sarahblue: For you goes the same, read to find out who was in that elevator... and since you need it, here comes more story ... hope you like it 'hugs'

pinKsLip22: I'm continuing, I'm continuing 'hurries to upload the chapter' have fun with the new chapter 'hugs'
Roxxy1984: Thanks for the kind words 'big hugs' I really appreciate it 'smile' I'm glad that my friend is doing better and I hope you will like the new chapter 'hugs'
Zanderlover: 'grin' Well thanks for the compliment... I wasn't originally going to use him and had two different managers but I'm glad I took him and not my original character because it fits better into the story 'grin' Well let's see what Vince is going to fix... if he's able to fix it that is 'evil grin' Vince the care salesman 'grin' interesting picture there 'grin' almost as interesting as Randy dressed up in a Tigger costume 'chuckle'
Yepp I'm sure I'm not a secret McMahon 'grin' even though being one wouldn't be that bad... 'grin' I could write so much interesting storylines for the wrestlers 'starts to dream' 'slaps herself to come back to reality' Okay okay... they'd probably fire me after I present my first idea 'grin'
Chris in a teddy bear costume... another interesting image 'grin' but I guess he really is something like that for Alexi... well besides being the big brother she never had... and I'm glad you like the way how I write Alexi... I'm always insecure when it comes to my original characters because I fear I'm overdoing it and the character is too perfect or too... well I don't know... just too unreal...
And again you were right about Chris and Alexi and their dating past 'grin' But aren't ya glad they broke up 'grin' more Chris for you 'smile' and well I'll just keep Randy and John... 'locks them up in her bedroom' and why Chris and Alexi broke up will be explained too, don't worry about it... at least when he falls in love again and this new love wants to know all about Chris and Alexi's past... or when Randy asks Alexi about it... 'grin'
Glad you like the twist with the belt and how Alexi found out that they were Wrestlers... I was thinking how to let her find out without making it look too unreal... and I'm glad it worked out that well... and it's all Hunters fault... 'evil grin' okay actually it's mine because I'm the evil author, but hey, who cares... 'grin' fact is that she found out and that there's a lot of talking to do...
Yeah Dave is a sweet guy because I like him that way... and don't worry he'll get a romance in that story too... don't really know how I will do it but I will do it because he deserves someone to love him too... and so does John... but also I have no idea about that yet... hopefully I'll have a good idea soon... but the romances have time because they've more important things to do now to make right the mess Hunter has put them all in...
Well as all the others you will have to read the new chapter to find out who she ran into 'grin' and don't worry they won't forget about the surgery 'grin' They will soon get to meet the nice female doctor that will operate Alexi... and if the operation is successful or not... you have to wait and see 'evil grin'
Thanks for the nice words for my friend... I'm so glad that he's feeling much better now... I don't know what I would've done if I had lost him for good... 'wipes away a tear' but he's way better now and the doctors are optimistic that he can leave the hospital soon to go home for a few days before starting his rehabilitation.
And
don't worry I won't give up on the story just because of my demanding
readers 'grin' Actually that's what makes writing worth it... when I
have reviewers like you and all the others who like my story that much
so that they want to be a part in it 'smile' That's what keeps me
writing, so don't worry about it and don't worry about your long
reviews since I'm always smiling after I've read them because I'm so
happy you like the story that much 'huggles'
And I don't need to write myself into the story since Alexi is
practically like me... well besides that she's a lot prettier... but
hey... who cares 'grin'
Oh my god, I seriously hope that Randy won't be stuck in a long and boring feud with the Undertaker... if he will be... I'll personally kick Mr. McMahon's ass 'grin' since Randy deserves better and I hate it that it's the Undertaker he's feuding with since I like the man too... he's one of the first wrestlers I've ever seen wrestler and I can't help but think he's cool... even though Randy will always be my favourite... shortly followed by John, Dave, Chris and Shawn 'grin'
Of course I'm giving you credit for the nickname because if I hadn't used it the chapter wouldn't have been half as good as it was 'grin'
Oh by the way I've written you an e-mail to the same adress than last time 'smile'
But now I should stop before my author's note becomes longer than my whole chapter 'grin'
Have fun with the new chapter 'hugs'
Disclaimer: see last chapter 'too lazy to write it again'
Chapter 12: Coincidences
"Damn…." Chris cursed when he saw Alexandria storming out of the hotel room. He ignored the curious glances from the non-wrestling guests and the waiters and ran a hand through his hair.
"Chris… I'm sorry… I didn't mean to…" Randy started and avoided to look at Jericho.
Y2J just shook his head.
"It's not really your fault Randy… it's my fault. I should've told her the truth right from the beginning. If I had told the truth to Shawn too, then Dave didn't have to lose his belt…" Jericho sank down in his chair and buried his head in his hands. Sure he wanted to go after Alexandria but he knew her well enough to give her a few minutes alone or she would still be too angry to listen to him.
And besides that Jericho needed to sort his own thoughts and emotions out before he faced Alexi.
John looked from Randy, who avoided looking at anybody, to Dave, who just shrugged and then to Chris, who sat in his chair, sighing heavily.
"Okay… I know I probably don't even know half of what's going on around here… but don't ya guys think we've more important problems at hand than drowning in self-pity?" The current WWE Champion questioned, trying to sort out the little pieces of information he had just gotten to put them together to get the whole picture.
He hadn't been very successful so far. That there was a secret about Alexi that Chris didn't want Shawn to know, he had known since the conversation with Randy.
What that particular secret was John still had no clue. He just figured it had to be bad, because otherwise Batista wouldn't just give up his belt to Hunter of all people.
Chris had regained his composure and looked at John.
"You know what, you're right. I need to talk to Alexi to explain to her… and hopefully she'll understand." He said and stood up from his chair, grabbing Randy's arm, dragging the Legend Killer with him.
"Um… Chris?" Randy questioned dumbfounded, not prepared for this.
"You're coming with me…" Jericho just said and the tone of his voice told Randy that it was better not to argue.
John watched them go. He was tempted to follow but he didn't because he had no part in this whole drama.
Batista had sat down at the table again and sighed, studying his hands.
John sat down opposite to the Animal and stared at him, waiting for him to say something.
When Dave didn't, he just questioned: "Well? Do you mind telling me what's going on?"
Batista turned his gaze from his hands and looked at the Dr. of Thuganomics.
He
shrugged. "It's not really my place to tell ya… it should be
Chris or Alexi telling you, but since Hunter seems to know, I think
it's better for you to know the whole truth… but you need to
promise not to tell Randy… and I can just hope that Jericho won't
kill me for telling ya…"
"Don't worry about Y2J, I'll
deal with him and tell him I forced ya to tell me…"
Batista
smiled a little but then he said dryly: "As if he'd believe that
I'm scared of you…"
Cena chuckled, glad that Batista at
least hadn't lost his sense of humour.
"Let's worry about that when the time comes, and now please spill. I mean Randy is my best friend and I want to help him. And Alexandria seems like a nice girl and I really want to help her too."
Batista nodded. He figured that, with Hunter knowing everything, the chances were high that soon the whole RAW roster would know what was going on. He just hoped that Chris could clear everything up with Alexi and Shawn before that happened because if not someone was bound to get hurt and it would most likely be Alexandria, who actually was the one who had nothing to do with Triple H's hatred for Randy, Dave and Chris.
He was brought out of his thoughts when John waved a hand in front of his face.
"You
still with me Dave?"
"Yeah sorry… well this whole mess
started twenty years ago…" Batista started, wanting to get
everything out in the open.
"Marissa?"
Alexandria
was too shocked to move for a minute but then she asked softly:
"Excuse me, what did ya just call me?"
The man she had ran
into smiled a little, not knowing that Alexandria couldn't see
that.
"I called you Marissa… I'm sorry about that… it's just that you look like a woman I was friends with about twenty years ago." He apologized.
He can't mean my mother, can he? Alexi thought, wondering who this guy was.
I
need to find out… She then mused and decided to
ask.
"You don't mean a Marissa Reed, do ya?" She questioned,
expecting the stranger to say no.
"Yeah… as a matter of fact I do… how do you know her?" The man questioned.
"I'll tell ya if you tell me who you are.." Alexandria said, not willing to tell a complete stranger who she was.
"Oh sorry… I forgot to introduce myself. My name's Sid Eudy..." Eudy explained and shook the girl's hand.
Alexi smiled. She had heard that name once or twice but she couldn't place it.
"My name is Alexandria Reed and Marissa Reed is my mother." If Alexandria would've been able to see, she would've seen the stranger pale and perhaps would've gotten suspicious, but since she couldn't, she waited for the stranger to say something.
She's… oh damn…why the hell am I meeting her here? If Shawn knows about her than I'm in trouble. Eudy thought shocked. He could immediately see the resemblance between Marissa and Alexi, but he could also see who the father was, since there were some features in her face that were unmistakably Shawn's.
It has to be her… what am I going to do now? He wondered but a smile crept into his face when a plan started to form in his head.
"So you're Alexandria… your mother has told me so much about you… unfortunately I lost contact with her a few years ago." Sid said even though it was a complete lie since he hadn't spoken to Marissa in the past twenty years but he knew he needed to gain the girl's trust.
Alexi was curious now and had forgotten all about Chris and her problems for now.
"She has? Sorry… but I can't say the same about you…" She apologized.
"That's okay… by the way is your mother around here somewhere?" Sid questioned.
"No she isn't… I'm here to have an eye-surgery to get my eyesight back but Mom couldn't accompany me because of her work…" Alexandria told the stranger and wondered in the next second why she was doing it. It had to be something about the man's voice. It sounded warm and gentle and if he was her mother's friend it was okay.
"So you're here all on your own?" Sid questioned incredulously.
"No…
well I'm staying with a friend of mine… but we sort of had an
argument and I needed some time alone."
"Oh I see…" Sid
said, trying to sound as concerned and trustworthy as possible.
"Do you need any help?" He then offered, hoping to gain the girl's trust.
"Well…actually it would be nice if you could help me to go to my hotel-room." Alexandria confessed. She had no idea how to get there on her own, because she had never been alone in the elevator so there was no way she could tell which button to push to land in the right floor.
"Of course I'll help you…" Eudy started when he suddenly heard someone calling Alexandria's name.
"Alexi, please we need to talk."
When he looked into the direction he recognized Chris Jericho and Randy Orton at once. He then looked at Alexandria who had a pained expression on her face.
"Please
Mr. Eudy… can we hurry… this is my friend… I really don't
want to talk to him right now."
"Of course Alexandria… and
call me Sid…" With that he followed the girl into the elevator.
"Which floor?" He questioned.
"Third…" Alexandria replied.
Sid pushed the button and watched the elevator doors close seconds before Jericho and Orton reached them. Before they closed however, Eudy shot Jericho a sly smile.
Jericho still dragged the Legend Killer with him and Randy had enough of that now. Since Chris was pulling so hard on his arm his still injured shoulder hurt.
"Chris, come on slow down… or you'll be ripping my arm off and you can explain to Vince why I need an even longer pause."
Jericho immediately realised what he was doing and let go of Randy's arm.
"Sorry…" He offered, running the now free hand through his hair.
"It's okay… I know you're just worried about Alexandria…" Randy replied, searching the lobby to see if the girl was here somewhere.
Suddenly he spotted her in front of the elevator, talking to a man, Randy thought he'd seen before but he wasn't sure where.
"Chris, there she is." He said, since Jericho hadn't seen Alexi yet.
Y2J quickly turned his head into the direction Randy pointed and stiffened.
"Come on Randy we need to hurry." He said through clenched teeth and quickened his pace.
"Alexi, please we need to talk." He then called, trying to sound as sorry as he could.
Alexi obviously had other plans because she quickly vanished into the elevator. The man followed her. Now Randy was getting a little worried. Chris had nearly reached the elevator, when the doors closed, but Y2J could see the smirk on the man's face.
With his hands clenched into fists he stared at the elevator for a few seconds before he felt Randy's hand on her shoulder.
"Chris? Everything okay?" He questioned.
Jericho shook his head wildly.
"Nothing's okay… do you have an idea who that just was?" He questioned angrily, waiting for the second elevator to arrive so that he could follow Alexi.
Randy nodded. He had recognised the man before the elevator had set off.
"Yeah… that's Sid Eudy, better known as Sid Vicious… but I thought he was out of business by now. What's he doing here?"
"That's exactly what I'm worried about… there have been too much coincidences in the past hours…" Jericho replied, dragging Randy into the elevator.
The Legend Killer was totally confused now. Sure, it was unusual for Sid Eudy to be here but then again, some older wrestlers often came to watch the shows. And perhaps Vince had called Sid Vicious back in business. So Randy couldn't understand why Chris was so worried about him being here, well except that he was in the same elevator than Alexi, which could've been coincidence too.
"Chris? Why are you so worked up over that?" He finally questioned.
Jericho looked at the Legend Killer. "You've no idea, do ya?"
Randy just looked at Chris with questioning eyes and with a sigh Y2J explained: "Sid Eudy or better Sid Vicious was Shawn's first manager…"
Orton was
still not sure why Chris was so worried. After all he had no idea
that Shawn was Alexandria's father and that Sid had played a big
role in the whole story too.
"And that's bad why?" He looked
at Jericho, who looked back with a look of defeat in his eyes.
Now Randy was really worried. He had never seen Jericho look so lost like at the moment.
Before Jericho could answer the elevator doors opened and Chris and Randy left it. They looked around but the hotel floor was empty.
Chris quickly walked to his room and Randy followed silently. It was obvious to the Legend Killer that Jericho had other things on his mind right now than telling Randy why he was so worried about Sid Eudy staying at the same hotel than them.
Damn… why couldn't I just kept my mouth shut… then Alexi wouldn't have found out that Dave and I are wrestlers. That was exactly the thing she didn't need on the day of her surgery. I just hope we can make it right… The Legend Killer thought sadly.
He watched Chris knocking on the door. Randy knew that he wanted to give Alexi the chance to open the door herself because Chris still had the key and it would be no problem to get into the room.
There was silence for a moment and then they heard something collide with the inside of the door. Alexi had thrown a shoe or something like that against the door.
"Go away…" Alexandria called and it was obvious that she had been crying or was still crying.
So she isn't willed to talk… well I didn't really think it would be that easy… Jericho thought, looking at Randy, who just shrugged helplessly.
"Alexi, sweetie, please open the door… we really need to talk." He tried, knowing that it would be no use.
"I told ya to leave…" Alexandria called again, this time angry.
Chris sighed. He hated to do it but he finally unlocked the door and opened it, just barely avoiding his second sneaker thrown into his direction.
Randy, who was standing behind him wasn't so lucky and the sneaker hit his shoulder.
Man, for someone who can't see, she knows to aim well… He thought, just slightly amused. But it was gone the second he saw Alexandria.
The girl was lying on her bed, her head buried in a pillow and now it was obvious that she was crying.
Randy looked at Jericho, waiting for him to do or say something.
With a shrug, Chris walked over to the bed and sat down beside Alexandria. Randy thought it was better to just stay in the background for now. So he closed the hotel room door and sat down in one of the chairs in the room.
Alexandria didn't react to their presence, even though she must've heard them entering.
Chris started to stroke her hair, saying nothing, knowing that he needed to wait for Alexandria to start talking.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity but was only about five minutes in reality, Alexandria calmed down, turned around and sat up on the bed.
"Why Chris? Why did you lie to me? You promised me you'd never lie to me…" She said, trying to hold back her tears that threatened to fall again.
Randy could see that Chris had to fight his own emotions. He had really never seen Jericho that upset over something and he concluded that Alexandria's trust was pretty important to him.
"Alexi… I'm so sorry… if I could turn back time, I would never do it again… unfortunately I can't… so all I can do is to say sorry and to explain it to ya. Hopefully this will be enough."
Alexandria nodded and Randy realised that she wasn't really angry. She was upset that Chris had broken her trust.
Jericho smiled sadly, stroking her cheek while trying to figure out what to tell Alexandria.
Chris was about to start his explanation when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Jericho looked at Alexandria with surprise.
"Are you expecting someone?" He questioned, fearing that it might be Sid Eudy standing in front of the door.
"No…" Alexandria answered, her anger forgotten for a second.
"I'll open the door…" Randy volunteered, glad that he could do something.
When he opened it, he was surprised at who was standing outside.
"Hi
Randy…"
"Um… hi… what are you doing here?" The Legend
Killer questioned and turned to look at Chris who had an equally
surprised look on his face.
Batista had just finished telling John the whole story, careful that nobody was overhearing him this time. The Dr. of Thuganomics had managed to stay quiet during all of it but now he just shook his head.
"Wow…" was all he said at first.
"That's… I don't know… that's just confusing… and I thought the part what Randy told me sounded like one of Vince's storylines… but this whole story… this is Vince-like through and through… I bet he would give a lot to have thought of such a storyline himself…" John told Batista, trying to process what he had heard. This wasn't exactly what he had expected when he had asked Batista to tell him the whole truth.
But now he could understand why Dave had made that agreement with Triple H.
If HBK found out about Alexandria before the girl was ready to face him, the drama was inevitable.
"You know what… that's the first thing I thought too when Chris told me the story… that Vince had come up with this storyline." Batista agreed.
"That would make things a lot easier though…" John sighed, rubbing his chin, trying to figure out what to do now.
Suddenly Batista looked into the direction of the entrance again and said: "Look John, doesn't that man look familiar?"
John turned around and after he'd spotted the man, he nodded.
"Yeah… I know what you mean… I've seen him before but I can't tell where…" He agreed.
Batista nodded.
"Well I guess we'll find out who he is once we get a closer look at him…" He said and then added: "Look there's Shawn…"
John smiled and called out loudly: "Hey Shawn… long time no see…"
The head of the Heartbreak Kid, who had just entered the room turned to see who had just called him. Shawn smiled when he saw John and Dave sitting at a table, but suddenly they could see his smile drop and being replaced by anger.
It was directed at the man who had entered just about a minute before Shawn. HBK quickly walked over to the man and the Dr. of Thuganomics and the Animal realised that it wasn't going to be a friendly meeting.
Batista suddenly slapped his forehead with his hand.
"Of
course… now I know who that man is… this is going to be
trouble…"
"Huh?" John questioned confused.
"The man that entered the restaurant before Shawn… That's Sid Eudy, better known as Sid Vicious…" John's eyes widened in realisation. This was indeed meaning trouble.
to be continued... if I get reviews 'grin'
