Author's note: Hey everybody... sorry it took me longer to update but I just couldn't get that chapter right... I hope it's okay now and you like it 'smile'

Quick word to my reviewers:

First of all something I forgot in the last chapter: I just want to say I'm sorry for everything Hurricane Katrina has put the people of New Orleans through and I pray for them everyday that they're going to be okay... well as okay as they can be... I'm feeling with all the people who have lost loved ones in this tragedy... I know it comes a little late and probably sounds pathetic and I don't want to offend anyone with that... but I just wanted to say it... and I hope nobody minds that I did.

Zanderlover: I got your mail and I hope you and your family are okay. I don't know if or when you're going to read this but I just want to tell ya that I'm thinking about you and that I'm praying for you and all the other people... and I hope to hear from you soon with some good news 'hugs'

OTHlover04: Thanks for the review and enjoy the new chapter 'smile'

Roxxy1984: Thanks for the compliment... well I hope you missed the characters this time too because here comes a new chapter 'grin' And well it's going to be some time before Alexi will see the guys for the first time 'grin' and now have fun with the new chapter 'huggles'

kandiland: You'll find out what Shawn told Dave and John. Yepp Alexi and Randy kissed... but since I'm evil that doesn't mean a happy-end 'evil grin' And don't worry, Sid will get his ass kicked... it will just take some time 'grin' So as always, thanks for the review and have fun with the new chapter 'smile'

sarahblue2: Yeah a goofy John sounds fun 'grin' Actually I have to admit that I like my fictional Randy better than the one he's currently playing on SD... I hate it that he's turned heel 'sob' Well again... to you too: Thanks for the review and have fun with the new chapter 'smile'

Mizz Molko: Well if you found that mad HBK sexy, then this chapter is going to be heaven for you 'grin' because there's a very very mad HBK. I know I'm repeating myself but thanks for the review and I hope you like the new chapter 'hugs'

randysgirl3: As I said to kandiland: Just because they kissed doesn't mean that it's going to be a happy end 'evil grin' Actually I haven't watched wrestling either when Sid Vicious was still active but well I was doing some research and I thought the character was what I needed for the story. And you don't really have to know who Sid was because most about the way he is is fictional 'grin' So to you too: Thanks for the review and have fun with the new chapter 'hugs'

Chapter 14: Arguments

John had no idea how long Shawn had been talking now, but he knew that what HBK had just told him was confusing him even more.

Shawn had his head lowered and stared at the half empty plate in front of him, just to avoid the look in Dave's and John's eyes.

Batista looked at Cena and confusion was written all over his face. Cena just shrugged and stayed silent for a minute to sort out his thoughts.

He had a hard time believing what Shawn had told them a few moments ago.

This is exactly the opposite of the story Dave just told me… Cena wondered and rested his chin on his left hand, looking at HBK suspiciously to find out if Michaels had made up that story so that he wasn't the bad guy.

Nah… Shawn's not the guy to do something like that. When he makes a mistake he admits it… The current WWE Champion thought and one look at HBK showed Cena that the Heartbreak Kid was really speaking the truth.
But if he believes that story and Chris and Alexi believe the other version something fishy is going on here… John mused in thoughts, trying to figure out what really had happened twenty years ago. The man was clever enough to realise that the truth was somewhere in the middle of both stories.
John looked at Batista and he knew that the Animal had similar thoughts running through his head.

Suddenly, Batista smacked his forehead with his hand.

"That's it… that explains Vince's actions…" He said out loud. Shawn finally diverted his eyes from the breakfast table and looked at Dave with confusion in his eyes. That wasn't exactly the reaction he had expected from Batista. He looked at Cena to find out what he was thinking and if he knew what Batista was talking about.

"Um, big guy no offence but what do ya mean, that explains Vince's actions?" Shawn questioned. Dave stared at Shawn and then he asked carefully: "Shawn, did ya tell Vinnie that story?"

Michaels stiffened for a second but then he nodded.

"I had no other choice… if I hadn't told him I'd be in a romantic storyline right now…" Shawn explained, rubbing his temple. This whole thing was slowly tiring him out. There had been too many encounters with a past he had tried to leave behind in the last days.

"Okay, so Shawn told McMahon, but that doesn't really explain why you suddenly understand Vince's actions…" John looked at the Animal, still clueless what Dave wanted to say with that.

"And I thought you were a smart guy, Cena… I mean who's the one with the Dr. title? You or me?" Batista smirked.

John pretended to be hurt, but he knew that Dave wasn't serious and had just tried to lighten the mood a little.

"Okay, so you're smarter than me, Dave… share your wisdom with all the people who aren't as smart as you…" He said sarcastically.

When Dave just chuckled and didn't answer he added, trying to sound as threateningly as possible: "Just tell me what the hell you mean…"

Batista shrugged. He knew he had to explain but he wasn't sure if Shawn would like what he heard.

"Well… Vince knows the story, and Vince isn't dumb. I guess he brought Vicious back to business to help Shawn to work out everything…" He explained his thoughts in short, holding back the information that he knew the other side of the story too, because that would mean Shawn would figure out who Alexi was.

HBK however, had realised too, why Vince had brought Vicious back and sprung up from his chair, so that it fell backwards with a loud thud, once again attracting the attention of everyone in the restaurant.

"I'll kill him…" Michaels swore under his breath and ran from the restaurant.

As soon as HBK had left, John suddenly realised where the 'middle of both stories' was, or better who…

Oh damn… He swore in his thoughts, springing to his feet too. Batista was already standing and the two quickly hurried after the furious HBK.

"If he finds him first, this is not gonna be pretty… we all know what an angry HBK can do…" Dave swore under his breath, looking around in the lobby for Shawn. He saw him stepping into the elevator after a short word with Trish who had just exited the elevator.

Cena and Batista quickly ran over to her.

"Trish, where did Shawn go?" Dave asked.

Stratus looked at the two men and eyed Cena curiously.

"What are ya doing here?" She asked John.

"I'll explain later… there's no time for that now. So where did Shawn go?"

"Um up to Chris Jericho's room because he wants to talk to Vince…" The diva explained, totally confused what was going on.

"Oh shit…" Dave and John said at the same time and quickly went into the second elevator that had luckily just arrived. So they reached the third floor shortly after Shawn.

To their horror and at the same time relief, they saw Vince standing in the hall talking to Chris.

"At least he won't run into Alexi…" John muttered and tried to catch up with the Heartbreak Kid.

"Yeah, but Vince has nowhere to hide…" Batista replied.

Cena couldn't help but chuckle when he heard Dave's comment.

They could hear Vince and Chris talking.

"Well shortly after the conversation with you I have talked to…" McMahon couldn't finish whatever he had wanted to say because Shawn had reached them and yelled: "Vince… what the hell were ya thinking?"

Batista could easily see Shawn raising his fist and aiming straight at McMahon's nose.

He quickly grabbed Shawn again just seconds before he punched Vince, restraining the smaller man. As much as he sometimes wanted to break Vince's nose himself this wasn't definitely not the right time to do so.

HBK struggled against Dave's arms and McMahon had taken a cautious step backwards and held up his hands in defence.

Chris just looked curious and shocked and glanced at Cena, who just shrugged, smiling a little helplessly.

"Dave… let go of me immediately…" Shawn demanded, increasing his struggles.

"No way buddy, not until you've calmed down…." Batista replied, never loosening his hold on the older but smaller man.

Vince thought this was a good moment to join the conversation.

"Shawn… whatever it is… I'm sure we can talk about it…" He said, trying to calm down the angry wrestler. His words had the opposite effect.

"Talk about it? Talk about it? You wanna talk about it?" Michaels yelled, struggling harder than before. Batista looked at Cena for help because, even though he was bigger than Shawn there was no way he would be able to hold him back alone any longer when he was this mad.

John understood Dave's look and quickly grabbed Shawn's left arm, while Batista held tightly onto HBK's right arm.

Chris looked back and forth between Shawn, Dave, John and McMahon, trying to figure out what the hell was going on.

"What do ya wanna talk about? That I told ya a story, asking you not to tell anybody and you go calling Sid Eudy shortly afterwards bringing him back to business? Is it that what you wanna talk about?" Shawn screamed, still angry but at least he stopped struggling and John and Dave thought it was safe to let go of him for now.

McMahon stared at Shawn in shock. He had hoped that HBK wouldn't find out about Vicious before he had talked to him.

"Shawn… I'm sorry… I didn't mean to…" McMahon started but the Heartbreak Kid interrupted him again: "You didn't mean what? Trying to exploit my personal life for a fucking storyline? Damn McMahon… I lost the love of my life and my unborn child because of fucking Sid Eudy and the fucking WWE… and you want to turn it into a storyline? That's the reason you brought Vicious back isn't it? To get a new fucking storyline…"

Shawn was furious by now. All the emotions he had been bottling up ever since his talk with Vince had finally searched its way out. Cena, McMahon and Dave were shocked by Shawn's outburst. They had never seen the normally calm man this angry, well at least not behind the camera.

Y2J looked at Shawn with his eyes wide in disbelief.

How can he say that? It was his own decision… He thought, getting angry himself and before anybody else could say something, he took a step towards Shawn and grabbed the collar of his shirt.

"Damn you Michaels… don't play fucking innocent right now. It was your decision… you alone are to blame for losing your unborn daughter and the woman you loved…"

When Jericho had grabbed him, Shawn was about to punch him, but Chris's words totally shocked him and he was unable to move or say something. The others in the hall had fallen silent too, watching the exchange with growing worry.

Chris don't say anything wrong please… Dave pleaded in his thoughts.

Chris was just about to start yelling again, when suddenly the door to his hotel room opened a little, and Randy stuck his head out.

"Chris… um… I need your help…" He started.

Jericho looked at the Legend Killer.

"Not now… I'm busy as ya can see…" He said, not letting go of Shawn.

"But… it's urgent…" Randy said and Cena could easily hear the desperation in his best friend's voice.

Suddenly a high-pitched voice called: "Chris-chan!" The tone was panicked and the tears could literally be heard too.

This was enough to alert Jericho that something was very wrong and without another word he let go of HBK, pushed Randy back into the hotel-room, followed him and closed the door.

Okay… that was weird… Batista mused, looking at Cena, who just shrugged. Then Dave stared at McMahon and Shawn, wondering what they would do now. Vince was a little pale and Dave honestly couldn't blame him. The scene he had just witnessed had been pretty scary. Shawn rubbed his throat because Jericho's grip had been tight. The Heartbreak Kid stared at the door.

"What the hell?" He muttered before he turned his attention to McMahon again.

Cena quickly realised that the danger that Shawn would attack Vince was still there. So he quickly whispered to Batista: "You go and take Shawn to his room or wherever far away from Vince and Eudy to get him to calm down and I'll get McMahon so that Shawn won't rip his head off."

Dave nodded. "Good plan…" He confirmed and without another word, grabbed Shawn's arm and dragged the still somewhat shocked Heartbreak Kid down the hall.

John just heard a "Come one Shawn… you need a little fresh air…"

Cena grinned a little, relieved that HBK didn't protest. He then turned to Vince, who hadn't moved one bit, since Chris had disappeared into his room.

"Um… Vince... couldn't ya tell me about my new storylines?" John questioned, trying to sound as normal as possible.

McMahon seemed grateful for that because he nodded. "Of course John, come on let's go to my office…" And with that he carefully walked into the direction of the elevators, looking left and right with nearly every step he took, just like he feared Shawn would jump at him again.

John followed his boss and shot a last glance at the now closed hotel-room door, wondering what was going on in there.

The kiss seemed to last forever but in truth it were mere seconds before Randy finally broke it.

He looked at Alexandria and waited for her reaction. The girl didn't react at first. She just sat there, her eyes wide and her lips slightly parted. With shaking fingers she touched her lips, wondering if this had really happened.

Randy ran a hand through his short hair, wondering what was going on in Alexi's mind.

"Um… Alexi… say something please… yell at me, curse me or do whatever you want to do but please say something…" He pleaded, hating the eerie silence that had settled over the room. Alexandria touched her lips with her hands again and then she asked slowly: "Did this really happen? I mean… did ya just kiss me?"

Randy smiled at that. At least she wasn't yelling at him… at least not yet.

"Yeah… I did… and well I'm sorry…" He said, totally confused and with his feelings playing roller coaster. He had never felt this way before after kissing a girl.

Alexi's eyes widened more. "Why are you sorry? Do you think it was a mistake? Didn't you want to kiss me?" She asked, feeling the tears well up in her eyes again.

The Legend Killer realised that and quickly shook his head, before he reached out with his hand and touched Alexi's cheek softly.

"Oh no… I don't think it was a mistake… quite the contrary. It felt so right… it's just… I'm feeling like I'm taking advantage of you. I mean you're hurt and confused because what happened earlier with Chris… and I caught you in a weak moment… I'm sorry about that but I just can't help how I feel… I hope I didn't scare you…" Randy explained what he was feeling right at the moment, hoping that Alexi would understand.

The girl smiled brightly and she was relieved and confused at the same time. The kiss had felt incredible and she could tell that Randy was telling her the truth and still she was confused because he was a wrestler. But Randy just didn't fit into that picture. He was kind and caring and he was afraid that he'd hurt her by kissing her.

That's so sweet. Nobody except Chris has cared about the way I feel when they kissed me… She thought.

Then Alexi realised that she still hadn't said something and Randy must've been waiting for an answer.

His hand was still gently stroking her cheek and Alexandria reached up with her hand and placed it over Randy's.

"You didn't scare me… and that you asked me how I feel about it shows me that you didn't want to take advantage of me…" She explained. Randy smiled and with his free hand took Alexi's other hand, gently squeezing it.

This simple touch made Alexi shiver because it felt so good. She hadn't felt this way for a long time and for a while she had wondered if she'd ever feel like that again.

Still there was this little voice in her head that told her that Randy had lied to her.

But he did it to protect me… Alexi told herself, deep down knowing that it was the truth. There was silence again between the two but this time it wasn't an uncomfortable silence.

After a while Alexandria asked carefully: "So… where does this kiss lead us? Where do we stand now? And where do we go from here?"
Randy wasn't prepared for that question. He looked directly into Alexi's eyes, trying to find out what was running through the girl's head.

"Honestly… I don't know… I mean… I want us to go somewhere. I want us to be something good, something perfect… but the last thing I want is to hurt you again by forcing you into something you don't want." Randy's voice was soft but still full of emotion.

"Oh Randy…I want us to be something good too… but… " She started, but she had no idea how to continue. Randy could fully understand what Alexi wanted to say and smiled warmly, hoping that the girl could feel it somehow.

"But you need some time to think about it…" He finished her sentence.

Alexi just nodded, glad that Randy understood her.

"I'll give you all the time you need…" He smiled and then he bent down and kissed her softly again. Alexi responded to the kiss and she felt Randy's arms slide around her, taking her into an embrace.
This is just too perfect to be true… Alexi thought, while she enjoyed Randy's kiss.

Suddenly loud shouting from the hallway disturbed the quiet of the moment.

Randy and Alexandria quickly separated and stared at each other, trying to find out what was going on. They both turned their heads into the direction of the door.

At first they couldn't make out what was being said, but the voices got louder.

"Talk about it? Talk about it? You wanna talk about it?" Someone yelled.

Randy immediately recognised the voice as Shawn's. He felt Alexi stiffen in his arms and turned his head to look at her again. She had gone pale and Randy was immediately worried.

Since he had no other idea what to do, he tightened his embrace around the girl and he could feel her gripping the fabric of his shirt, clinging to it for support.

"Make him go away please…" Alexi pleaded.

Randy was about to say something when Shawn started to yell again.

"What do ya wanna talk about it? That I told ya a story, asking you not to tell anybody and you go calling Sid Eudy shortly afterwards bringing him back to business? Is it that that you wanna talk about?"

What the hell is going on out there? Randy wondered. He could hear McMahon's voice but since the man wasn't yelling he couldn't understand what was being said.

"Make him stop yelling Randy… make him go away…" Alexi pleaded and covered the ears so that she couldn't hear the shouting.

Randy was too shocked and too confused to really do something else than to just hold Alexi to make her feel safe.

Shawn's yelling got even louder.

"You didn't mean what? Trying to exploit my personal life for a fucking storyline? Damn McMahon… I lost the love of my life and my unborn child because of fucking Sid Eudy and the fucking WWE… and you want to turn it into a storyline? That's the reason you brought Vicious back isn't it? To get a new fucking storyline…"

"Make him stop, make him stop lying… Chris… I need Chris… he can make him stop… I need my Chris-chan…"

Alexi had broken free of Randy's embrace and she was still covering her ears and was shaking her head wildly.

Now Randy was really worried. He tried to calm the girl down.
"Alexi….please, calm down… it's okay… you're safe in here…"
Alexi didn't really seem to listen to him. She just shook her head and yelled. "No… I need my Chris-chan… please… he can make him stop…"

Alexandria was now crying hysterically and the panic was evident in her voice.

Randy had no idea what to do. He hadn't been prepared for such a breakdown.

With a sad glance at Alexi, he quickly got up from the bed and nearly ran to the door to open it.

He carefully poked his head out and was met by a scene he hadn't expected. Vince was as stiff as a statue. Chris had HBK by the collar of his shirt and John and Dave looked helpless between the two.

He hadn't heard what Jericho had said before so he had no idea why he was so mad, since Shawn had been yelling at Vince and not at Chris. For a short moment Randy wondered if HBK would get fired for that, but another cry from Alexi brought his attention back to the problems at hand.

"Chris… um… I need your help…" He said carefully.

"Not now… I'm busy as ya can see…" Chris replied, not even looking at Randy and never letting go of Shawn's shirt.

"But… it's urgent…" Randy tried again. Chris still didn't react, but suddenly Alexi let out another cry: "Chris-chan!"

This seemed to get Jericho's attention because Y2J immediately let go of Shawn and pushed Randy into the room before he followed and closed the door.

Without a look at Randy Chris ran over to the bed and threw his arms around Alexi.

"Shh… it's okay Sweetie, I'm here…"
"Chris-chan…" Alexi sobbed and buried her head on Chris's chest.

Y2J turned to Randy and the angry look in Jericho's eyes made Randy take a step backwards.

"What happened? What did ya do to her?" He snapped.

Randy shrugged helplessly. "I didn't do anything… she heard Shawn yelling and that was when she became like this. She said that I should make Shawn go away…" Randy explained in short what had happened. "And she called for you. So I thought it was better to get you…"

Chris looked at Randy apologetically. Then he turned to the crying girl in his arms again.

"Shh, Alexi, sweetie, it's okay… he's gone now…"
"He lied… make him stop lying… it was perfect and he ruined it…" Alexi sobbed and clung to Chris like a child.

Jericho gently stroked her back, trying to calm her down. He was used to that kind of breakdown but Alexi hadn't had one in a long time and he wondered why she had had it now. He also wondered what was perfect that Shawn had obviously ruined.

Chris continued rocking her back and forth but he turned his head to Randy, who had sat down in the chair and had buried his head in his hands. He looked miserable and Chris guessed that it was because he couldn't help Alexi right now.

Damn… why did Vince have to bring back Eudy… he should've known that this would cause trouble… especially after hearing my story… Wait… he's obviously talked to Shawn too… I wonder what HBK has told him…

Chris was so absorbed in his thoughts that he didn't notice that Alexi had fallen asleep because of exhaustion.

He gently eased her down on the bed and with a short glance at his watch he saw that they had about an hour to go to the hospital.

So she can rest for a little while… He thought relieved. And I need to call her mother… but that can wait till later… Jericho concluded and then he stood up from the bed and walked over to Randy. The Legend Killer didn't really seem to notice him. Only when Chris laid a hand on his shoulder the Legend Killer looked up. He gave Randy a weak smile and pointed towards Alexi.
Randy nodded and then pointed towards the door.

Chris understood the gesture. Randy wanted to talk to him. So the two left the room and silently closed the door behind them.

Once the door was closed Randy looked at Chris, a serious expression in his eyes.

"Chris… what the hell happened in there? And why did Alexi freak out like that when she heard Shawn yelling. I want the whole story now." He asked and Chris thought he'd heard a hint of jealousy in the younger man's voice.

Nah… I must've imagined it… He thought and then sighed. He couldn't keep the truth from Randy any longer after what he'd just witnessed.

"Okay Randy… you want the truth, you get the truth…" And once again Chris started to tell Alexi's story.

to be continued if ya want me to...
