Title: Burn In My Light (Randy Orton's Theme Song: "Burn In My Light" by Mercy Drive)

Disclaimer: I own nada! I don't own any of the WWE superstars, but if I owned Randy or John… yum-yum-yum! However, technically I own Tess in the story, but the real Tess owns Tess and I own Carissa in the story, but the real Carissa owns herself also. I do own my PS2 some games and my brother's WWE Smackdown! VS. Raw and if you want it you gotta beat me in a hell in a cell match for it. I got dibs on RANDY! Don't sue me, I'm just an innocent city gal!

Author's Note: Hey. Thanks for your encouraging reviews. SERIOUSLY, IF YOU GUYS DON'T REVIEW I'M GONNA MAKE YOU SUFFER! I mean I don't ask for much… I write, you review… is that too much to ask for? I won't post my next chapter in like forever if you don't review. I want reviews, it keeps me motivated. No reviews make me feel miserable…lol. First off… I said this chapter was gonna be short, but since I had a little change of plans… it's a LONG chapter. Secondly… I know I said I was overloading on the songs, but I can't stop! LoL! 363! OK… You're going to hate me for things I do in this chapter but I have lots of surprises. And I have a new character, an OC. Oh yeah… I have to clear up some confusion. In this fic, the WWE superstars and shows are not really split. It works like this: Everyone is on both shows like old times, but there are two championships: WWE and World Heavyweight and also SD!'s GM is Stephanie McMahon and RAW's GM is Eric Bischoff. So example: Trish goes to RAW on Monday and then the next day she goes to SD! Get it? Got it. Good. If you still have questions feel free to ask.

Chapter 8: Boulevard of Broken Dreams

(OVERVIEW OF THE 2 MONTHS THAT HAVE PASSED SINCE THE BREAKUP)

After what had happened on that night on RAW, Randy had taken two months off because of his injury in the throat area. It was a miracle he didn't die. Randy was all alone for the seven weeks except from some visits from John, Batista, Tess, and Amy, but none from Trish. Randy watched RAW and SMACKDOWN! over the estimated 7 weeks he was at home just to see Trish. Trish was no longer in the hunt for the WWE Women's Championship. Instead she was having a war with Stacy Keibler. The war had ended yesterday, Bad Blood, with a Chick Kick into the face of Stacy. Randy was set to come back to SD! tomorrow. No one knew about his surprising return except for him, John, and Stephanie.

Randy tried so hard to talk to Trish, but she Trish always shut the phone off or hung up on him as soon as he called. Randy started to blame himself for letting Gail kiss him. Although he was drunk and defenseless, it was wrong. Randy's heart was crushed and shattered when he heard Trish say, "I hate you!" to him.

After the many failed attempts of trying to talk to get Trish to talk to him and apologizing to Trish to make things better, Randy finally gave up. He had no hope left. He went back to being the Randy Orton he was before Trish came into his life. Randy started drinking and sleeping with random sluts he met at the bar night after night. Randy was ashamed of himself, but he didn't care. He thought about suicide so many times. Every time he brought the knife to his wrists, he thought about all the happy moments they shared and stopped trying to kill himself. Randy loved Trish. He was going to propose to her that night, but it all went wrong. The question on his mind is whether or not she still loved him.

(PRESENT TIME SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA)

John stepped up to the door of the apartment he never thought he'd find. John knocked on the door.

"GO AWAY!" a female voice screamed.

"Carissa, open the door." John said softly after recognizing the voice.

"John, is that you?" the female voice asked.

"Yeah." John replied as the door slid open. Inside revealed an empty apartment and a girl, probably the age of 22 or 23. The girl dressed a lot like Amy and John. She wore black, baggy shorts from Hot Topic and had a black top. There were fishnets on her arms and lots of bracelets. The girl had dark brown, almost black hair with red highlights. Her blue eyes looked very similar to those of John. She dressed punk. The apartment was empty except for two suitcases.

"It's been five years, you've finally found me." the girl spoke after a short silence.

"It's good to see you again, Carissa." John said as he pulled her in for a hug.

"So, how are you big bro?" Carissa asked softly. The words "big bro" were a surprise to John. Mainly because he was used to being called "fucker", "asshole", "dick", and a lot worse things from Carissa back 5 years ago, but never "big bro".

"I'm good lil sis, I'm good." John replied with a smile. After John and Carissa finished with the small talk reunion, John asked his sister a question.

"Carissa, umm…umm…c-ca-can y-yo-you…" John started stuttering.

"SPILL IT FELIX!" Carissa called John by ½ of his middle name. She knew he hated that. She had hit a nerve.

"Shut up!" John said frustrated. "Can you help me get ready for my date?" John asked turning red.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Carissa laughed. "You're kidding, right?" Carissa almost choked on her words.

"No." John said with his head down as Carissa continues laughing.

"Just like old times, ain't it?" they both said in unison.

Anyway, sure I'll help you.

(AFTER 1 HOUR OF GETTING READY)

"So you know what you're going to wear and what kinda things to say?" Carissa asked.

"Yeah!" John was excited for his date with Amy tomorrow. They both had the night off for SMACKDOWN! and John wanted to take Amy out on a date. Amy accepted and now with Carissa's help, John was ready. "I'm gonna go back to the hotel, but I'll pick you up tomorrow after the date and I'll bring you back to Massachusetts, home.

"I don't want to go home!" Carissa screamed.

"We'll talk about it tomorrow night." John left the apartment and went to the rental he and Randy shared, which was a black Escalade. John got into the drivers seat. BAM! He thought he heard something, but there was nothing. It was just probably his imagination. John drove off.

(THE NEXT DAY-TUESDAY-SD! AT JOHN'S LOCKER ROOM)

John, Amy, Trish, Batista, and Tess were all talking. John and Batista were playing SMACKDOWN! VS RAW. Amy and Tess were getting read as Trish was reading the RAW magazine. Just then the door opened. Everyone's mouth except Trish's dropped open when they saw who walked in. Randy came into John's locker room and everyone except for Trish went to see how he was. After they all talked to Randy, they went back to doing what they were doing as Randy spotted Trish. He walked over to her. Trish saw him coming and thought quick.

"Amy, Tess have fun on your dates. I'm going to go grab a bite before the show starts." Trish started to walk off as Randy went right behind her.

"Trish, wait…" He started.

"Leave me the FUCK alone." Trish demanded without turning around.

"Please don't do this… You know I love you." Randy pleaded.

"You're wrong… I don't know that." Trish said as tears started to form in her eyes. She started running off. Randy didn't chase her. He felt horrible. After a while Randy went back to John's empty locker room and got his duffle bag. John and Amy were so happy and so were Dave and Tess, but he wasn't. They had left to there date and Randy went to his locker room. Randy started to get ready for his match with Christian. He was almost ready to go to the ring when Edge came into the locker room.

"Well if it isn't the Legend Fucker… glad to see your not choking on your own blood this time." Edge laughed at his own joke.

"What the fuck do you want?" Randy said angrily but quietly.

"Simple… to fight you in the near future." Edge said confidently. "What do you say?" Edge asked.

"I'll kick your ass any day of the week." Randy said. Randy walked past Edge. On his way out the door, he turned around. "By the way…" Randy stopped and looked dead straight into Edge's eyes and spit in his face. Then he left.

(MEANTIMEJOHN AND AMY'S DATE)

"So, babe isn't it beautiful tonight." John asked. John and Amy went to a hilltop and decided to have a picnic dinner.

"It sure is." Amy replied. Just then John touched Amy's hand and pulled her close to him. He then kissed her and they started tongue tangling. The kiss seemed passionate and was created by love. They still kept kissing until…

"GET A FUCKING ROOM, JOHN!" Carissa screamed as she came out of the trunk. John and Amy broke the kiss and turned to see Carissa.

"Carissa, what the fuck are you doing here?" John yelled.

"John, whose she?" Amy asked.

"Remember the lost sister I told you about? Yeah well that's her." John told Amy.

"I'm Carissa, nice to meet you to." Carissa stuck her hand out. "Wait a minute… your Amy Dumas, Lita. You're sooo cool!"

"Thank you. By the way I love your outfit." Amy told Carissa.

"Carissa, what are you doing here?" John asked again.

"I got a free ride with you, happy?" Carissa said. Then Carissa went passed John and sat passed Amy as they both started eating. John's date was ruined and he was pissed. Now he had make the best of the rest of it with BOTH Amy and Carissa.

After they ate, it started to rain so they went back into the rental and headed back to the hotel. They forgot one thing though. The rental was Randy's also and now Randy had no way of getting back unless he walked or got a ride with someone else.

(BACK AT THE ARENA—SD!)

Randy walked over to the tunnel and he was supposed to enter first. Randy walked out as "Burn In My Light" played in the back. The fans went wild as they saw Randy return. Randy did his pose and he entered the ring. He wasn't focused on the match, all he thought about was Trish.

(BACKSTAGE)

"What happened here?" Stephanie shouted as she walked over to the person that the EMT's were carrying away. It was Christian, he apparently fell and twisted his ankle bad and he can't walk. Stephanie was going crazy. Her min event was ruined. Just then…

"I'll fight him!" a voice said.

"But… but…" Stephanie started.

"Please let me go fight him." the voice said.

"I have no choice I guess." Stephanie said. "Good Luck!"

(BACK TO THE RING)

Randy awaited the arrival of his opponent, as did the fans. Randy calmed down and was ready. Right then the music hit!

Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha...I Don't Care What Y'All Say
Oh, It's Time To Rock And Roll
This Time I'm In Control
Right Now I Own The Streets
I Got The Keys To The City
That's cause I Get Down

Randy was shocked to see Trish coming out to the arena. This had to be a dream. The fans didn't know what to say. Trish walked into the ring. Randy wasn't going to fight Trish. He started backing off, but Trish grabbed his arm and turned him around. Randy saw this as an opportunity to finally send a message into Trish's head. He pulled her into a kiss. Trish kissed back for a second, but she came to her senses and smacked the brains out of Randy.

Randy was saw it coming, but he didn't back down. He wasn't going to fight her, but this was his only chance to try to talk sense into her. Randy started to plead and tell her he loved her, but it didn't work. Trish punched, slapped and kicked. Randy reversed half of Trish's attacks, but he didn't know how much longer he could last. Randy tried getting out of the corner turnbuckle. Trish was too fast and punched Randy.

When the referee wasn't looking, Trish low-blowed Randy. Randy fell down in pain and rolled around holding onto his groin. Trish didn't seem to be through. Trish slowly waited for Randy to get back up, but she shoved him and he fell backwards.

Trish was ready to end this match. She set Randy up for the Chick Kick. Randy saw the kick coming and grabbed Trish's foot and pulled her close to him and let go of her foot. Trish was too close to Rand to attempt the Chick Kick, so she proceeded and did a move Randy knew all to well. Trish RKO'd Randy. Randy was knocked out for a good 30 seconds and Trish picked up the victory.

Randy went back stage and gathered his things. All he thought about was the kiss. Trish had kissed him back for a spilt second. It was getting late and Randy just realized that he had no way of getting back to the hotel. Randy ran to the parking lot. Trish's rental started moving and Randy tried making a dash for it, but he couldn't make it.

Randy had to walk back to the hotel in the rain. His days just didn't get any better.

(HOTEL)

Randy had finally made it to the hotel. He was cold, sad, miserable and felt like dying. Randy walked up to his hotel room that he was sharing with John. He didn't have his keycard and John wasn't there.

"Fuck!" He cursed.

Just then Stacy Keibler walked by. She saw Randy and had an idea. It was going to be easy seeing that Trish wasn't around anymore.

"Hey Randy!" Stacy said.

"Hi…" Randy said.

"You look cold and your going to get a cold. Why don't you come over to my hotel room and we could get you changed and warm in no time.

"I'm not so sure…" Randy hesitated.

"Fine. If you get hypothermia or something, don't come crying to me!" Stacy said as she started to walk away.

"Stacy, ok, I'll come." Randy said as he followed her into her room. The door closed as Randy and Stacy went into the same hotel room.
