The Heartbreak Companion
(3rd Person POV)
The halls backstage were eerily quiet as John Cena strolled them on another late Monday evening. He had been forced to stay for a last minute meeting with Hunter and Stephanie concerning the Legacy problems they had been having as of late. Sadly, the three of them could not even come up with a solution that would destroy the group causing so much chaos in the WWE as of late.
Even with DX reunited and John taking on Randy, whatever they did it just seemed to make Legacy stronger. John sighed as he recalled their discussions from the meeting. Hunter wanted Randy for hurting Stephanie but they were just going about it all wrong. John knew somewhere there was a way to destroy Legacy once and for all but he just didn't know where it was yet.
He wanted his best friend back.
As John advanced down the corridor the silence that had been there was broken by what seemed to be moaning and sniffling. He decided to follow the noise just to make sure no one was hurt or in pain. As he grew closer the crying noises grew louder and louder. But soon enough he came upon the person making the sounds of pure devastation and depression.
Louisa Donaldson sat on the ground balling her eyes out.
"Lou," John cried out as Lou raised her head looking to see who had called her name out, if that was even her name anymore. She didn't want anyone to see her like this especially John. Lou was afraid he would think less of her.
John rushed over to her and knelt down before her examining her from top to bottom making sure she was physically okay. He didn't want to find his new friend hurt and miserable all because of his rivalry with Randy Orton. Randy had hurt too many people at John's expense already. The last thing Cena wanted was for the new commentator girl to get hurt because of him and his rivalry with Orton.
"Are you alright? Who did this to you? I swear if it was Legacy, I'm going to kill them…" John trailed off as he thought of ways to rip a limb off one Legacy member and use it to beat the other two silly. John's fist clenched and unclenched as his finger nails dug deep into his skin from the amount of anger and frustration he felt.
"John, I'm fine." Lou whispered barely audible for Cena to hear her if he hadn't been listening.
"Lou, this isn't fine. You're sitting her in this dark corridor at one in the morning crying your eyes out. What's wrong, shorty?" John questioned as he slid down the wall and took a seat next to the girl. He grabbed a pack of Kleenex out of his bag and handed them to her.
"You carry Kleenex around with you?" Lou inquired while raising an eyebrow at the thirty something year old man. John shrugged at her.
"When you're on the road as much as I am you learn fast what you need to bring. And one of the essential items is Kleenex. This one time when I was doing a show in Milwaukee and I was so sick oh my god, Lou, it was horrible. And the medical team didn't have any of it! They just kept giving me toilet paper to blow my nose with. You know how much that hurts after a while?"
Lou started laughing at the pro wrestler whining about having to blow his nose with unused toilet paper.
"What? Oh you try telling that after that situation you wouldn't go anywhere without Kleenex." John muttered at her.
"And I'm sure use the Kleenex filled with lotion to…" Lou trailed off. John smiled down at the petite brunette.
"Oh, you know it." John stated while Lou stood there dumbfounded and laughing after just heard the WWE Champion state that he uses Kleenex with lotion in. But then the conversation took a serious turn once again. "Louisa, why are you out here crying your eyes out?"
Lou sighed. Even though she had just met John only hours before she wasn't sure if she could trust him with information like this. Sure, he was her first friend in the WWE but was it safe for her to tell him that Shawn Michaels thought she was his long lost daughter. Lou shook her head sadly and let out an exasperated breath.
"If I tell you, do you promise not to tell anyone else?" Lou whispered to John. John nodded solemnly at the young woman.
"Boy scouts honor," he said while raising his hand. Instantly Lou pictured John in an undersized Boy Scout outfit and a smile spread across her face while she began to giggle.
"What? What's so funny?" John asked glaring at her. While Lou shook the picture of John in the Boy Scout outfit out of her mind. Lou then turned and faced her friend while taking a deep breath ready to explain herself.
"ShawnMichaelsthinkshe'smyfather…" Lou blurted out. Then it was John's turn to stand there awestruck by what the new commentator girl had just told him. John then turned and examined the young woman. He had enough stories about Shawn's dilemma since he had come to the WWE. Shawn's story spread through the locker rooms like wildfire. Even though Shawn tried to kept his unhappiness hidden those closest to him new that it was still there.
But… Shawn would never go around accusing people of actually being his long lost daughter. The pain of losing them both must have finally gotten to good old HBK. As he watched Louisa cry he looked at the familiar features that he could recognize as Shawn's like her hair. Nobody had hair like that except HBK. What struck John the most was what had happened earlier that evening when Lou had delievered the Sweet Chin Music to Ted DiBiase Jr. He realized then and there that this girl was most indefinetly the daughter of the one, the only, the Heartbreak Kid.
John wrapped a muscular arm around the young woman letting her cry into his shoulder before questioning her more about why she was so upset about this. It wasn't every day that someone found out their father was essentially a living icon among the famed WWE. Lou cried and moaned for several more minutes before finally looking up to John's bright blue eyes to find him looking down at her in complete confusion.
"Lou, why are you so upset about this, it's not like this is a bad thing right? You just found out your father is Shawn freaking Michaels?" John exclaimed to her causing Lou's eyes to fill with tears yet again.
"Don't you get it John!" she yelled angrily at her new friend. John shook his head no in response. "First off, I've been lied to for twenty years not knowing who I am. Second, Shawn wants me to be his beloved Carson when all I've ever been known as is Louisa Donaldson. I grew up my life as Louisa, lived it that way too! And now by some quick twist of fate, some guy who thinks he is my father wants me to be his daughter? I'm not Carson Michaels, never have been, and never will be."
But Lou knew that last part of her statement was wrong. She couldn't just drop everything and leave Shawn without knowing the truth. Deep down in her heart of hearts she knew that she wanted to find out if she was Carson. But finding out that meant losing herself in the process, didn't it?
And then John spoke.
"By having the courage to be yourself, you put something wonderful into the world that was not there before." John said as if he was reading her mind. "Lou, you should not give up on Shawn so fast. What if you are his daughter? I'm sure he's already proud of you for everything you have accomplished. Look at you, you kicked Ted DiBiase Jr. with a super kick, made it to the WWE on your own with no help from anyone, and by God your one of the most beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes on."
Lou blushed furiously at the last part of the statement causing her to smile.
"Ah, there's that smile I've been looking for." John said pulling her closer into him to give her hug. "So what do you say are you going to give Shawn chance or just get up and leave this arena and never look back?"
"I want to know the truth," she whispered, "but… I'm scared to find it out…"
John nodded and slowly lifted himself off the ground. He extended his hand to her to help her up as well. Lou excepted it as the WWE's poster boy lifted her off the ground and caused her to stand up falling straight into him. Lou chuckled as she brushed herself off and pushed back against his chest.
"What do you think?" she questioned. "Should I find out the truth?"
He chewed on that thought for a while staring at the green-blue eyed beauty. He knew if he said yes that she might start to cry again. And if he said no she may leave the WWE forever not wanting to have the heartache of never having the chance to know the truth. As he ran his hand over his short crew cut hair he looked her in the eyes with the most sincere look. It was as if a little puppy was staring up at Lou telling her how cute he was.
"Do whatever your heart tells you to do." John answered as he began to walk away. But before John could round the corner he felt someone yank on his arm to stop him. There stood Lou pulling on him. "What is it shorty, it's getting late and I'm a tired wreck. So are you by the way."
Lou smacked John's arm as he winced in pain. She smiled knowing she had done a good job.
"Thank you," she again whispered in a barely audible tone pulling herself close to John and giving him a hug. "You're a good best friend, you know that right?"
And with that John couldn't help but feel content at finally finding a new best friend in the company he loved. But now he could share that love with Louisa even if she might be the daughter of Mr. Wrestlemania, himself. Yep, if there was thing that was certain it was that these two would be sticking together like from that moment on.
As Lou and John parted though, in the shadows of yet another corridor stood the one, the only, the Apex Predator, Randy Orton, his assumptions upon this new girl had been right. And if he played his cards right she would be the key to taking down DX and Cena all in one swipe. But first Randy had to win her trust and that would not be easy given the identity crisis the young woman was going through.
Randy decided to take the wisest plan of the many he had devised over the last few days. Wait, until she finds out the truth. Then make her or break her knew little family that she was starting to surround herself with and soon enough she would belong to the Legacy.
With that Randy walked off with the classic Orton smirk plastered across his face. Soon enough would the WWE be his to rule and he would be rid of Cena and DX once and for all. All thanks to the help of Shawn Michael's long lost daughter.

Nancy sat there in shock not saying a word. I could have sworn psychologists were supposed to help you in situations like these. And here she sits motionless and pretty much looking at me like I'm on drugs.
"Nancy, you-who, you ok," I asked while sliding my hand in front of her face and waving it several times. Finally she blinked and noticed I was still sitting there. With her eyes focused back on me she shook her head to get herself out of the trance like state she had just been in.
"So this is why Hunter sent you to me, your identity crisis?" she inquired while putting her forefinger to her chin and taping it. I sighed and shook my head with a laugh.
"Wow, Nancy I didn't think you would get that out of this part of the story. That part of the story happened almost four months ago! This is April!" I cried aloud while smacking my head as Nancy once again nodded at me. "Plus, this is only the tip of the iceberg, were just getting to the good stuff…"
But then I was interrupted once again.
"Cena so is crushing on you. Orton is creepy as hell it's like he is stalking you. And you! Oh my God! Why don't you just do the DNA test already and get over yourself." At that remark I glared at Nancy and raised my foot ready to do a Sweet Chin Music on the woman as she backed off. "Sorry, I'm getting really into the story."
"It's okay, you're actually the first person who has ever heard this story." I mutter a bit embarrassed. "And I told you John and I are only friends, nothing more. Even though at times it seems like he wanted to be. But the guy that I liked he was unique and amazing and those brown eyes…"
"Brown eyes?" questioned Nancy as she cocked an eyebrow as I got all lovey dovey and crap.
"Yea, brown eyes, oh how I miss you," I said before clamping my mouth shut before she could hear his name. Sadly, that happiness wasn't enough to keep him around. "Stupid Shawn, why'd you have to screw everything up that I had with him?"
I screamed letting the shriek vibrate through the walls. I hope wherever Shawn was he felt the vibrations as well as brown eyed lover boy.
"Louisa, do you want to continue?" Nancy questioned handing me a glass of water as I gulped it down.
"Sure," I said after finishing off the glass, "Where was I?"
"You just left John after telling him you might be HBK's daughter." She said while jotting something down on the piece of paper. I let a small sigh escape my lips.
"Yea, now it was my turn to do a lot of thinking... about my current situation."
