Author's note: Hey everybody... so here it comes... the final chapter of Behind Blue Eyes and I hope you enjoy it... I definately enjoyed writing it even though it didn't turn out the way I wanted it but I couldn't make it better and was only making it worse so I decided to post it now before I got crazy and I hope you like it none the less.

There will be a sequel called BEWARE OF DARKNESS

Oh yeah, something else:

I'm not sure if Metallica are wrestling fans but I made them because that was more fun and I needed it to be that way for the sequel… and I don't know either if they know John but in my story they're at least casual acquaintances. And since I've never been on a Metallica concert either so I can't really tell how it is. So all Metallica fans please don't be mad if they are out of character. It isn't my intention to dishonour them but I liked them the way they are in the story...

Man... I'm a little unhappy that Randy has been suspended for 60 days but perhaps it is for the best so that if the rumors and what I've read is true and he really went overboard and the other wrestlers are mad at him it will help for things to calm down so that Randy can return better than ever (I still love the guy 'hugs Randy')

Chapter 30: A concert and a wedding

"Nice cap." Alexandria grinned when she saw Randy walking towards her. She had been waiting in the lobby for Randy and she had almost not recognised him with the big sunglasses and the black Metallica baseball cap on his head.

"Thanks Luv." Randy grinned and gave her a quick peck on the cheek.

"I can live with the cap but why the sunglasses?" Alexandria questioned a little confused.

The young Orton smiled a little. "It's just so that the fans won't recognise me immediately because they either won't leave me alone with autograph wishes or will boo me out of the concert." Randy said jokingly but Alexi could see that he was a little upset about the fans booing him.

"I see… I'm glad that fans won't recognise me right now since only the fans in the arena have seen me yet." She told him and for the first time realised what being in the WWE meant to your image and private live.

"So are you ready to go Lexi?" Randy questioned, taking her hand in his.

Alexi nodded. "Of course. I can't wait."

So the two left the hotel and walked to Marissa's car.

Alexandria's mother had offered to lend it to them because Randy's car was pretty recognisable.

The two just wanted to have a nice evening at the concert and not being bothered by the fans.

Normally Randy loved his fans and loved to perform for them but tonight Alexi was all that mattered to him.

It took them about half an hour to arrive at the parking lot in front of the stadium where the concert would take place.

Since Randy and Alexandria had backstage passes and the members of Metallica had been thrilled to hear that Randy was coming to their concert it was agreed that the two would meet them before the concert.

So Alexandria and the young Orton were let in through the VIP-entrance.

"Man… I'm nervous…" Alexi admitted to Randy and squeezed his hand a little tighter.

"I'm too…" The Legend Killer admitted. "But remember… they're just normal people who happen to be rock stars."

"Now I feel better…" Alexandria said a little sarcastically but she smiled at Randy's joke.

"So here we are…" the security guard who had led them through the backstage area stopped in front of a white door.

"They're already waiting for you." He said and after a short knock and a 'come in' the security guard opened the door for them and then left.

Alexi and Randy looked at each other and then into the room where four pairs of eyes were looking back at them.

"I don't believe that I'm finally getting to meet them." Alexandria whispered when Randy nearly dragged her into the room when she wouldn't move.

"Hi guys… nice to meet you. I'm Randy Orton" The young Orton greeted, having no other idea what to say.

The lead singer walked over to him and shook his hand forcefully with a small smile on his face.

"It's cool to meet you too. I've been a wrestling fan since I was a kid. By the way I'm James Hetfield." Even though they all knew who the others were it seemed the polite thing to do.
The Legend Killer gave his trademark grin.

"Great to hear that you're wrestling fans. And that speechless girl beside me is my girlfriend Alexi Reed-Michaels. She's a great fan too as you can see."

Randy's words snapped Alexi out of her awe.

"Hi." She greeted shyly.

"Hi there Alexi, nice to meet you." James now shook her hand.

The girl finally relaxed a little and one after the other band member shook hands with Randy and Alexi and then they all sat down and started to talk.

James asked: "So what is it like to be a wrestler?"

"It's great. Well… most of the time. Sometimes you have to do stuff you don't want to do but I guess you know how that is. I imagine you sometimes have to do things you don't like either."
"Yeah you could say that…" Lars agreed.

This broke the ice and they had a really good time talking to each other.

After a while Alexi went over to the buffet to get something to eat.

Randy watched her go and then he said with a little hesitation: "Um… I know it's a big request but I guess I'm gonna ask anyway."

"Just spit it out Randy… What more can happen than us saying no?" Lars questioned with a grin on his face. He liked the young wrestler and his girlfriend and he was a little surprised that Randy was really that different from his in-ring character.

"Well Alexi is following in her father's footsteps and is joining the WWE as a new diva. Right now she's being a valet for John Cena but soon she'll need her own entrance theme and well what I was going to ask was if you perhaps would lend one of your songs to her or perhaps even write one for her… Vince McMahon has given her the freedom to choose her entrance theme for herself. So what do you say?"
There was a moment of silence.

"Sorry… I shouldn't have asked." Randy said, misunderstanding the silence.

"Did you just say that she's following in her father's footsteps?" Kirk asked and Randy could literally see his thoughts. A grin made its way on his face again.

"And her name is Reed-Michaels?"

"Yepp." Randy answered.

"So you're telling me that this girl is the daughter of the great Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels?" Robert, the new drummer asked.

"Yepp." Randy repeated his answer.

"Shawn is one of the best… besides the Undertaker and a few others." Lars exclaimed.

"To see his daughter walking to the ring to one of our songs would be cool, or what do you think guys? And perhaps you can get us some autographs from HBK."
"Yeah… I have to agree to that." James admitted.

One after the other agreed and Randy was really happy with that.

"You guys are great. Alexi will be thrilled about it." Randy said.
"I will be thrilled about what?" Lexi questioned. She hadn't heard what Randy and the band had talked about and had only heard Randy's last sentence.

"That will be a surprise sweetheart." The Legend Killer told his girlfriend and put his arm around her shoulder and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

The band grinned at each other.

"We'll call you about your request when we're ready okay?" The lead singer asked because he was sure that Randy wanted to surprise Alexandria with it.

"Thanks… I'll give you my cell phone number."
Alexi pouted. "Come on guys, tell me what's going on here?"
"Not a chance Alexi." Randy said absolutely resistant to her pouting.

Suddenly one of the sound engineers poked his head in.

"Only ten minutes until the concert starts."
"Thanks Fred, we'll be out in a minute. We just need to say bye to our new friends."

The sound engineer vanished and Lars turned to Randy and Alexi again.

"Well then I guess there's only one thing to say: Enjoy the concert."
"Thanks guys and I'm sure we will. It was really cool meeting you." Randy told them, shaking all their hands again.

"It was nice meeting you too. Perhaps we can meet again sometime." James said.

"If possible it would be a pleasure." Alexi replied honestly and Randy and she were nearly out the door when suddenly a voice called after them, after Randy had given the band his cell phone number.

"Hey wait, we can't let you go right now."

Randy and Alexi turned around and the drummer, who had called them, had a huge grin on his face.

"Huh?" Randy said, slightly confused. Alexi and the rest of the band were equally confused.

"I mean they can't go without having given us autographs."

First there was a baffled silence and then all started to laugh. Over their talk they had forgotten about that.

"But you need to give us some autographs as well…" Alexi requested and they quickly exchanged the autographs.

"Enjoy the show you two and say hi to John from us."

"We definitely will." Randy nodded. He had known that John knew the band because he had met them on several shows he had been performing at. With a last wave at the band Randy and Alexandria finally left so that the band could get ready for the concert.

Thanks to their backstage passes Randy and Alexi could enjoy the concert in relative quiet even though some people recognised them but the security always had an eye on them so people left them alone. Randy guessed that Lars had told security to have an eye on him and Alexi and the Legend Killer was grateful for that.

Randy tightened his arm around Alexi and the girl leaned her head against his shoulder and enjoyed the concert.

"Thank you all for the great evening." James screamed into the microphone.

"We really enjoyed being with all of you and to make a great show for you but now it's time for one last song. It's for two special guests. I hope that you've enjoyed the show and now enjoy it."
With that the band began to play 'Nothing else matters'.

Even though the lead singer hadn't said it explicitly, Randy and Alexandria knew that James meant them because they had told them that this song was their absolute favourite.

The couple listened to it and really enjoyed the end of the concert.

When they were at their car again, Alexandria gave Randy a long and passionate kiss. When she broke it she told him: "This was a wonderful evening Randy. Thanks a lot for taking me here. It really took my mind off of the wedding for a while."
"It was my pleasure Lexi." Randy repeated honestly and kissed her again. He had also enjoyed the evening and the concert.

They drove back to the hotel where the RAW roster was staying this time in silence and when Randy parked the car in front of the hotel he saw that Alexandria had fallen asleep.

The Legend Killer immediately remembered their first date, well sort of date and he had to smile at that. It had only been about a week ago but still he knew that he never wanted to be without Alexandria again.

He got out of the car and walked over to the passenger's side, once again lifting Alexi up in his arms and carried her up to her hotel room she shared with Chris again since Randy and her felt still awkward to stay in a room together and they didn't want to rush things.

In contrast to that Shawn and Marissa roomed together on this trip but with them it was different since they'd known each other for long and their relationship was totally different.

Jericho was already asleep when Randy entered so the Legend Killer tried to be quiet and placed Alexandria on her bed, covered her with the bed sheets and gave her a kiss.

"I love you Lexi, good night and sweet dreams." He whispered before sneaking out of the hotel room to go to his own room where John awoke the moment Randy opened the door.

"Sorry." The young Orton apologised.

"It's okay Randy. So how was the evening?" John questioned the sleep still evident in his voice.

"It was great… thank you again John. If I can repay you for it, just let me know. Oh and by the way, James told me to say hi to you." Randy replied while he got ready for bed.

John fell back and pulled the sheets tighter around him.

"Thanks and I will let you know how you can repay me, I promise." He mumbled, already half asleep again.

The Legend Killer just smiled and went to bed too with thoughts about the wonderful evening on his mind he fell asleep with a smile on his face.

Shawn toyed nervously with his bow tie.

"Stop that Shawn. You'll strangle yourself if you keep that up. Everything will run smoothly. I mean it's not like Marissa will leave you in front of the altar." Randy tried to assure the very nervous HBK.

"That's not really helping Randy…" Shawn said and by the colour of his face, Randy feared for a moment that the Heartbreak Kid would get sick.

The Legend Killer had never seen the man so nervous, not even before a great fight.

But now here he was standing in the church, in front of the altar, waiting for the wedding ceremony to begin. It had been a hectic week and Shawn sometimes wondered how they had been able to organise such a big wedding in less than three weeks. But people were eager to help and Shawn just now realised how many really good friends he had among his fellow wrestlers because many of them had lend a hand if needed so they had managed to pull it off.

Shawn turned to look at Randy who stood beside him.

"You do have the rings, don't you?" He questioned.

"Of course I have the rings like I had them when you asked two minutes ago. Besides what a best man would I be if I lost the rings? And as I said you don't need to worry, Shawn. In less than two hours you and Marissa will finally do what you should've done twenty years ago: Saying yes to each other." Randy told him with an amused grin on his face.

He was still a little flattered that Shawn had appointed him his best man but he was also proud and it had helped him to forget Shawn's harsh words.

Randy let his eyes wander over the guests. The church was full of wrestlers and divas, active or retired and no matter what brand. Even Hulk Hogan had made it to his 'favourite tag team partner's' wedding. He stood beside Randy because he was the other best man.

"The kid's right you know?" He now said. "Everything will be okay Shawn."

Hogan grinned at Randy because like the Legend Killer he had never seen HBK so nervous and it was an amusing sight but Hogan thought it was his duty to try to calm his long-time friend down.

Randy once again let his eyes wander around the church to spot his best friend in the crowd.

He found him immediately because he was sitting in the front row beside Dave and Marissa's and Shawn's family.

Dave and John had invited Christy Hemme and Trish Stratus to come with them to the wedding and Randy wondered if there was more to that or if it was just because they had always been good friends.

Then his gaze fell onto Chris, who was sitting beside Batista. It was not much of a surprise for the Legend Killer that Chris had Martha invited to the wedding as his date.

Everybody could see the sparks between them but they still claimed to be 'only friends' and there were bets going on when the two would admit to each other what they were really feeling.

The Legend Killer had to chuckle at that but he was interrupted when the organist started to play.

Shawn's head snapped to the entrance of the church and Randy turned his head too.

He smiled when he saw Alexandria walking down the aisle in front of her mother.

Of course she was a bridesmaid together with two of her cousins.

Randy thought that the girl looked beautiful in her dress and she had a smile on her face that made Randy's heart beat faster.

He turned his attention to Shawn again when he heard him whisper: "Beautiful."

The Heartbreak Kid looked transfixed towards the entrance and Randy turned his head there again.

Marissa had just appeared on the aisle and Randy had to admit that she really looked stunning in her wedding dress and sometimes the Legend Killer found it hard to believe that this woman was old enough to have a grown-up daughter.

Shawn's eyes followed Marissa until she was standing right next to him. He gently took her hand and smiled at his soon to be wife.

Marissa smiled back and then the two turned towards the priest so that he could start with the wedding ceremony.

Alexandria had come to stand beside her mother and Randy smiled at her.

The girl smiled back and waved a little before she turned her attention to her mother and her father.

Randy imagined for a moment what Alexandria would look like in a wedding dress, standing beside him, ready to become his wife.

I definitely need to keep that image in mind for the future… He thought and he hoped that this was what he had with Alexi: A future.

He pulled himself out of his thoughts and tried to follow the ceremony.

He had to admit that it was a beautiful wedding ceremony and more than one tough wrestling superstar looked as if he had some tears in his eyes.

They were all really happy for Shawn because they had always wondered why HBK had never married before even though they all knew that the Heartbreak Kid was a family guy. Now they knew why because Alexi's story was now an open secret among the guys in the back, well at least the version, Marissa, Shawn, Chris and Alexandria had given the permission to be spread among the back. Only John, Dave and Randy knew the whole story about what had happened in the past even though they hadn't been involved directly.

Randy's thoughts were now interrupted again when the priest asked for the rings.

The Legend Killer gave Shawn's the one for Marissa and Marissa the one for Shawn.

Shawn was the first to say his wedding vow.

His voice was a little shaky in the beginning but the longer he talked the stronger his voice became.

"Marissa… I have left you once and this was the greatest mistake I've ever made. But today I'm standing here to swear in the presence of god that I will never do it again. You're my light in the darkness, you're my shelter in the storm. You're the angel god send me and I love you and I swear I will always honour and love you no matter if good or bad times."

Randy could see the tears in Marissa's eyes and it took her a moment to regain her composure enough to begin her own vow.

"Shawn… today I'm standing here in this church to make the step I should've made twenty years ago. I'm becoming your wife. You're my strength when I'm weak and you're my shoulder to cry on. You're my heart and my soul. I love you and I swear I will always honour and love you no matter if good or bad times."

When Marissa had finished her vow, there were indeed tears in the eyes of most of the wedding guests.

The priest continued with the ceremony and when he finally said the long awaited words, the whole church erupted into applause.

"… I hereby announce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride."

Shawn smiled and stroked Marissa's cheek tenderly for a moment before he bent down to give her the first kiss as her husband.

The party after the wedding was nice and all guests were having a great time.

Suddenly the singer of the band announced: "And now it's time for the traditional father-daughter-dance."
Alexandria, who had been in the middle of a talk with John and Christy was a little surprised at that.

This one special dance was normally reserved for the bride and her father but Marissa's father and Alexandria's grandfather had died two years ago.

So the girl was a little startled when Shawn suddenly appeared beside her and bowed a little.

"Alexi, can I have this dance with you?"

The girl was speechless and could only nod.

She took Shawn's hand and walked with him to the dance floor which was empty except her and Shawn and just now Alexandria spotted her mother over by the band and suddenly Alexandria knew that it had been her mother who had told the band to announce the father-daughter dance.

Alexi had been to a few weddings of Marissa's friends or to some of her cousins and whenever the father-daughter-dance was announced she had wondered if she would ever have one of her own. Her mother had known that and now she had given her the chance to finally have her father-daughter-dance.

Alexi and Shawn started to move softly to the music.

The girl smiled happily throughout the whole song and Shawn was equally happy and he couldn't remember when he had felt so content with himself in his life.

When the song ended, Shawn gave her a soft kiss on the forehead.

"I love you, Alexi." He told her.

Lexi looked up and smiled.

"I love you too dad…" And with that she stood on her tiptoes to give her father a peck on the cheek. Then the two separated and Alexandria walked off the dance floor to leave it to Shawn and Marissa who started to dance to their favourite song.

Suddenly Alexandria felt two arms around her hips and when she turned her head she found Randy standing behind her with a smile on his face.

"Hey there love." Alexi said softly.

Randy didn't answer her. He just looked at her with his intensive blue eyes.

"Are you happy Alexi?" He questioned.

Alexandria nodded.

"Very happy…" She said and turned her towards the dance-floor where her parents were still dancing with each other. Randy stood behind her with his arms around her waist and his head resting on her shoulder and the two watched the newly weds dance for a while in silence

Alexi looked deep in thoughts and Randy wondered what was running through her head.

His question was answered when Alexandria started to speak again just when Shawn and Marissa were kissing on the dance-floor.

"Finally I have the family I always wanted…" She told Randy.

"And in addition to that I have found the love of my life. Right now my future's shining brightly."

Randy smiled, turned Alexi in his arms and lowered his head to kiss her tenderly.

When they separated he said softly: "I love you Alexi."
"I love you too Randy."
