It was now Wednesday, the day Randy and Shawn travelled over to Africa before making the trip to Australia. Both men met at the airport and chatted through out the journey. They talked about many things especially the WWE...
"Do you like having Roxanna as the General Manager?" HBK asked.
"Never really thought about it that much."
"So, ummm, it's gonna be you vs Kurt?"
"Should be good. We're in a Street Fight so I should beat him. He's out of his comfort zone, it's gonna be relatively easy." Randy stated, in a quite cocky manor.
Meanwhile, back in New York, Roxanna was expecting best friend Lita at any moment. They were gonna be travelling from the airport there first thing in the morning and planned on talking through out the night. Roxy was glad of the company. It had been ages since her and Lita had spoke on a non business level. Roxy wasn't feeling too good though...
"Hi Rox." Lita greeted, as Roxy let her in the door.
"Hey."
"What's the matter?" Lita asked, noticing a bruise on Roxy's head.
"Nothing, really." she said grimly.
"Where's Gavin, I thought he might be over here."
"There isn't a Gavin anymore. We broke up."
"Why? What happened?" Lita questioned as they sat next to each other.
"He moved about 5 days ago to Australia. We argued. I broke it off with him."
"Oh...why did he move?"
"Business. He wanted to be the manager of the new offices over there. I wouldn't go with him. He didn't like that."
"Well, you might be able to patch things up with him when we go over there, might you?"
"I dunno if I want to." Roxy sighed.
"What happened to your head?"
"Nothing, I just caught the door, that's all, nothing to worry about."
"You haven't been..."
"Drinking? No, my love affair with alcohol is over." Roxy told Lita sternly.
Randy and Shawn were finally in their hotel room that they were sharing together for one night while in Africa. They had done the press conference, which was pretty tedious, at least Randy thought it was. Randy bags the bed nearest the window. The millions of stars could send him to a place of hope and relaxation, much like Roxy's eyes did and still do. Shawn placed his suitcase on the floor. Randy stared out of the window for a few moments.
"So what do you want to do for food?" Shawn asked.
"Could we get room service? I really can't be bothered to go and find some." Randy said dozily.
"Sure, that's fine with me. Do you mind if I take a shower, I want to change and everything. It's ok Vince setting the dress code but it's not very convenient when you have to travel in a suit." Shawn expressed, laying his jacket on his bed for the evening.
"I agree." Randy smiled half heartedly, sitting on the edge of his bed.
"Back in a few minutes." Shawn said, walking into the bathroom.
Randy looked around the room. It was fine sharing the room with one of his best mates and all, but he missed the touch of a woman. The touch of Roxy.
From time to time, he would get himself into a state like this. One of the journalists at the press conference didn't help...
"So Randy why did you say the stuff you did about your supposed soul mate, Roxanna Richards?"
Randy had no idea what to say. Shawn saved him by asking for another question.
Randy searched for something in his wallet and took it out. Suddenly, Shawn walked out of the bathroom...
"Sorry, I forgot my..." HBK became distracted by the picture that was in Randy's hands. He walked over to him and looked at it. Randy sighed.
"Is this who I think it is?" Shawn questioned.
"Yeah, it is." Randy said, his eyes filling with tears.
"You mean, you carry a picture of Olivia around everywhere you go?"
"Yeah, sad isn't it?" Randy asked, a single tear dribbled down his cheek.
"Not at all." Shawn shook his head, sitting next to Randy.
"It's just...she's a part of me...whenever I need something, someone to love or just company, I look at this scan of her. She was gonna be my little princess."
"She always will be your little princess."
"Just because I never knew her, it doesn't mean I never loved her. You know, I was so excited when Roxy found out she was pregnant. I knew she wasn't, but I was. She grew into the idea of being a Mother though. I know I said I wanted a boy but honest to God, I didn't really care. I just wanted to be someone's Daddy, to give love to a baby like my parents did. I often thought about what she would look like, what features she would have of mine and Rox. Everything changed though. I can't do anything about it either." Randy sobbed, as Shawn put his arm around him.
"I know that no one can ever replace Olivia, but one day, whether with Roxy or another woman, you will be a Father. I know you'd be a great Dad too."
"You really think so?"
"I do."
"One thing that bothers me more than anything, I never knew who stabbed Roxanna."
"No one does. I don't know if Roxanna even does."
"She never, ever told me. She didn't tell the Police either. My one regret, apart from saying what I said, was that I couldn't prevent that, I couldn't prevent the death of my unborn baby. I told Roxy to stay backstage, it'll be safer than being at ringside, I said. But she wasn't."
"Look, don't blame yourself. Anyone backstage could have been stabbed. Whether it was meant to be purposely for Roxanna or not, just look on the marginally brightside. She wasn't killed too."
"I guess you're right." Randy said, half smiling at his wise friend.
"You know, she never stopped caring about you."
"But after she got stabbed, I dunno, everything changed. She didn't really want to know me anymore. She never readjusted herself."
"Just think about it for a moment. Ok, she was young and naive. She didn't really know if she wanted a family, if she wanted to be tied down."
"When Olivia died, it was like our relationship died too. Ever since that day on Raw, until know, I bet she never thought about me..."
"Randy, I know for a fact that's not true."
"What?" Randy asked, slightly shocked.
"No forget I said anything." Shawn said, standing up.
"Please Shawn, I have a right to know!" Randy demanded.
"Fine. You know, when you overdosed..."
"What about it?"
"She...she found you."
"Are you being serious?" Randy asked, slightly angry he hadn't known before.
"Yeah. Her and John, for whatever reason, were visiting you. They waited for a few minutes but you never opened the door. She opened the door with her key and found you..."
"What, as in Cena?"
"Yeah. They rang an ambulance, got you to hospital. Neither of them could face you afterwards though. I don't know why. Roxanna just told me she couldn't."
"I don't believe it..."
"When...when someone needed to clean your flat up, she volunteered. She said it was the least she could do for not looking you straight in the eyes and speaking to you afterwards."
"My strong Roxy...it sounds so unlike her."
"I know, but it's true." Shawn added as Randy stared at him in disbelief.
