It was now Saturday, and in about 24 hours time, Roxanna and Randy would nearly be back in America. They were both on their way to see Lily, whom Randy had never met before. He'd heard a lot about her and knew how fond Roxy was of her but was curious to get to know her a little bit; was she as fierce as she appeared to be on her band Porn's cover version of 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' or was she amiable and likeable?

It seemed strange to Randy to actually be accompanying Roxy into a hospital room rather than visiting her in it! As Roxy lead the way, he began to realise just how precious and valuable life really was. It made him question his past, presence and future a lot more than he had ever done before.

"Before we go in, just remember that she is my best friend and I have known her my whole life. I would be really appreciative if you two hit it off and got a long great." Roxy stated.

"I'm sure I'll love her." Randy replied.

"Great, well, lets go in shall we?" Roxy said, opening the door. A few of Roxy's old friends were stood near the door.

"Roxanna?" spoke a male first.

"Mikey! Wow, how are you and Rose?"

"We are very well thanks, and you?"

"I'm good - this is my boyfriend Randy!"

"Ahh yes, the famous third generation wrestler. Nice to meet ya." Rose greeted.

"Nice to meet you guys too." Randy grinned.

"We can't stop unfortunately but call us when you get back in America, ok?" Mikey asked.

"Sure, of course! Bye!"

"Bye. See ya soon Lily!"

Rose and Mikey left the room.

"Is there something I should know about them two?"

"Other than they've been going out for the past three months? Nah, nothing at all!" Lily chuckled.

"Really? Them two?"

"They're very happy together apparently. Hi Randy, the famous third generation superstar." Lily mimicked Rose.

"Hi, it's wonderful to finally meet you."

"Looking forward to getting back to America?" Lily asked, trying to start a conversation.

"In a way." Roxy nodded "Out of the way of mother dearest."

"She seemed ok yesterday."

"Ummm, I think she knew I wasn't very happy with her."

"I think she just misses your company a lot of the time. That's why she went to pick you up from America rather than ring you and ask you to get back."

"I'll buy her a dog for her next birthday - a bitch to match me!" Roxy joked.

"So Randy, what's it like dating Roxy?" Lily gossiped.

"All I can say is you have one very entertaining, funny, smart, attractive best friend." Randy revealed, looking over at Roxy.

"Thanks for the compliment, I never knew you felt like that!" Lily quipped.

"Has a date been set yet for your transplant?" Roxy inquired, feeling slightly embarrassed by the last few comments.

"Yes - September 17th."

"A day after Unforgiven." Randy noted.

"I promise I'll be here the next day." Roxy guaranteed.

"I'll understand if you can't be or something."

"I know you'd do the same if I was in your position."

"I would try. Hey, I've got some good news."

"What?"

"Zane Lowe really liked the video you made for us."

"He did?"

"Yeah!"

"Isn't he that Radio 1 DJ?" Randy questioned.

"Uh hu. Do you like rock music, Randy?"

"Definitely."

"What's the best album of all time?" Lily asked "In your opinion?"

"'The Black Album' by Metallica."

"That is a classic, I love it too." Lily commented. "A lot better than that shit today with all of the looped crap."

"It has no real talent to it." Randy added.

Roxy had remembered something.

"Speaking of dodgy musicians, I forgot to get you something out of the car." Roxy said, disappearing from the room.

"So, ummm, are you in a relationship?" Randy questioned Lily.

"No, I split up from my boyfriend a few months ago. He couldn't deal with all of the pressure surrounding my health - or so he said."

"If he won't stand by you through thick as well as thin there isn't much there." Randy included.

"I agree with you there. I know that Charlotte might doubt your commitment to Roxy but I don't. I think you make a wonderful couple."

"Thank you. I can honestly say I'd love to spend the rest of my life with her."

"Randy, I'm gonna give you some advice. Over the past few months, I've realised who my true friends and family are, the people that are willing to give up there time to come to my aide and I'd like to thank you for being a part of it. Do what you have to do in this life to be happy and successful coz you know as well as I do that you only get one shot. I don't wanna worry Rox but I know that my days could be numbered, I appreciate that. But if I do die, promise me that you will make her the happiest person possible no matter what. She deserves happiness after everything that has happened in her life. She deserves hope and light and I know that you can give her that. Love matters. To quote Metallica 'Nothing else Matters'."

"Don't you worry, I will do." Randy reassured, kissing Lily on the cheek. "So, what was Roxy like as a kid?"

"Basically like she is now except for she was quite shy. She tried not to be too emotional and then we hit puberty - things changed. She used to get male attention when we were out a lot of the time but it was more of the looking rather than the touching. She never really had that many boyfriends. She finds it difficult to trust people, so we are fairly lucky, don't ya thing?"

"Sure are." Randy responded, taking everything into account.

"I'm back, huh, here's your prezzies!" Roxy said, handing Lily the black packaging with purple and red fire work patterns.

"Thanks you shouldn't have! Hey, this rapping paper reminds me of when you cam over to my house on Bonfire Night and we burnt Rose's hair!"

"Oh yeah, Brandon, ha ha, he poured his lemonade over her to put it out! She never has forgiven us for that! By the way, what ever happened to Brandon?"

"He visited me last Wednesday, he's alright. Had to go away on business though. He's working in a bank you know."

"I always knew he'd become a wank...I mean, ha, banker!"

"You never have forgiven him have you?"

"Can you honestly blame me?"

"What happened?" Randy inquired.

"We used to go out...he cheated...I really don't have much luck do I?"

"You do know!" Lily smiled, looking over at Randy.

Lily opened the chocker in which she immediately put on with Roxanna's help.

"Wow, it's perfect, thank you!"

"Duggie sends his love by the way." Roxy remembered.

"I might have known the shirt would have come from there! Oh, it's perfect, thank you!"

"It's ok."

"Sorry, visiting times are over. Lily needs her dialysis." A nurse said, coming in with a trolley.

"I guess this is goodbye." Roxy said "I promise to visit after the transplant."

"It would mean a lot to me if you could...and you Randy. It's been a pleasure meeting you."

"The pleasures all mine!" he stated, once again kissing Lily.

"See you soon - I'll call you whenever I can." Roxy promised, hugging her best friend.

"It's been awesome seeing you. It won't be too long before I'm wearing this outfit, performing and telling Britney Spears where to stick it!" Lily laughed.

Randy and Roxy were half an hour away from landing back down in Connecticut. Randy had enjoyed getting to know Lily and a few of Roxy's other friends better. He looked over at her sleeping as peacefully as possible while kids screamed up and down the aisle. He had thought about what Lily had said thoroughly. He wanted to show Roxanna exactly how much he loved her.

The question was, how?
