Ahem… I own nothing because if I owned more Cena would have more than 3 freaking minutes of air time last week… ugh that is all… and wait we hit the double digits, yes!... Read On…

Listen to Her Voice

Ready to Go (Get Me Out of My Mind)

(Lou's POV)

"Nancy do you mind if we take a break, I kind of need to check my messages to make sure that everything is going alright elsewhere." I said firmly as Nancy just nodded her head.

"Will fifteen minutes be good enough?" she questioned as I nodded my head. The psychologist that was quickly becoming my confidant got up and left the area so I could have time to myself to think. Quickly, I pulled out my cell phone and found several messages waiting for me. I entered the code and sighed listening to the little computerized voice telling me to enter my password. I did as it commanded.

I got up from my spot and headed over to the window to look out at the San Francisco Bay while listening to my messages play for me. Hopefully these would be good and be done before Nancy got back from wherever it was she went.

"3 new messages… First message… 10:23 am…"

"Hey Smalls, hoping everything is going fine with the psychologist. I know it seems like we forced you into going to her but trust me she will help you sort out your issues with Shawn. She's the best she helped me after my first injury to get rid of my depression for not being able to be in the ring. Anyway, I'm really missing you and know that Raw isn't the same without you. I'm bored and can't find anything to do I might go with Hunter and play some tricks on Ted and Cody later but will see how that goes. Yea, it's not the same without you. Call me when you're done, okay? Stay safe and remember don't super kick Nancy I know she can get on your nerves but trust me, she knows what she's doing. Love you, Shorty."

I smiled after listening John's message. He was always the protective big brother just like I had told Nancy. I was glad that he was one of the people who had helped me to try and get my life back on track.

"Second message… 10:54 am…"

"Lou, it's Hunter. I just wanted give you a call and make sure everything is going alright. I am hoping the psychologist is being gentle with you and not trying to pry to much information out of you at once. Don't let her take advantage of you and be careful I don't want you to think you were making a mistake by going there. This is the first step of many that you will be making to get things back in the right direction. No that no matter what happens there we all still love and support you, right Hornswoggle… (low grumbles can be heard on the other end) Yea, I know you want to talk to her but you can't she probably couldn't understand you anyway… wait this is Shawn's daughter she probably could! Hey give me back my phone you little troll! The least you can do is shut it off! No give it back! Hornswoggle!"

"This message went over the accepted time please call the other party if they were cut off." The computer voice told me as I giggled after listening to Uncle Hunter and Hornswoggle little quarrel.

And finally the last message, "Final message… 11:11 am…"

"Morning Louisa, I'm hoping everything is going well for you in San Fran. Know that I can't stop thinking about you and that every second were apart I know that I want to join you. FCW is being a pain the ass but I'm working mine off every night, I have to go up against Wade Barrett tonight for the belt. I wish you were here to see it. Life would be so much better then. But that will have to wait until next time you're down here. I hope everything is working itself out and that you're finding the right path to take with Shawn. Hell, I remember when I first met you and how upset you were that he was actually your father, do you remember that? Us sitting on the stage and me having to explain what FCW was to you. Little did I know that you would be joining me there shortly, weird twist of fate. I'm hopping you're okay and this woman isn't pushing you too much. Just know this Louisa, I miss you. I'll see you soon, okay? Oh and one other thing babe… I love you."

A single tear slide down my cheek and in a barely audible whisper I said the words the brown eyed beauty that was hundreds of miles of away was longing to hear.

"I love you too, Alex Riley."

Why did this have to happen to her? Why? Why couldn't some other diva or woman stumble into Shawn's life and he could excuse them of being his long lost daughter? But nope he saw Louisa and everything began to fall into the place for the heartbroken HBK while Louisa's world began to crumble. She was questioning everything she had known. Her entire life had been built on lies, how does one even begin to fathom that?

Lou sat on the cold metal stage looking out at the empty arena. This was where she went everything in her life was starting to fall apart. This empty place she felt symbolized what she felt like at the exact moment. Empty and alone in the universe no one to understand what she was going through.

"Excuse me, miss, but you're not allowed to be out here." A young man voice said while echoing throughout the arena. Lou turned around to find a young man staring down at her. His hair spiked in an upright way. His masculine build overlooking her in his shadow. Lou's eyes met his chocolate brown as she looked up at the young man. Slowly, realization hit his face realizing that he had yelled at one of the major talents. "Oh man, I'm so sorry. I didn't know you were a talent. Please, don't tell Vince, today is my first day!"

Lou cocked an eyebrow at the young man as she whipped her tears away and sighed in frustration. Feeling sorry for herself wasn't ever on her to do list especially when people kept interfering with it.

"Hey, what's wrong?" questioned the brunette man as he sat down next to her. Ugh, she so didn't want this right now. Why couldn't this guy just leave her alone? Everybody else did while that was because John was off doing promotional work and Hunter was trying to calm Shawn down after finding out the news about her.

"It's a long story." Lou muttered at the man who continued to stare at her sitting down quietly at her side.

"Well trust me, I've got time." He answered as she let out an exasperated sigh.

"You're not going to go away are you?" she asked sadly.

"Nope, I can't just leave a damsel in distress! You are in distress right?" the brown eyed man asked while Lou cocked an eyebrow at him.

"I guess you could call it that if you're the one putting yourself in distress." Lou answered earning a confused glare from her new not so wanted companion.

"Listen," the man said putting a hand on her shoulder, Lou felt something when he touched her, it was somewhat near the same feeling that she got when Shawn hugged her that first night. Instantly, she pulled back and stared at the young man about to address her. "I know, I'm probably just some dead weight jobber to you, but you seem like you need a friend in this place. Maybe I can help you."

Lou stared at the young man unaware of whether or not to trust him. She sighed to herself. If The Legacy already knew her secret how long before the rest of the locker room knew. She might as well save herself the trouble and tell this kid the story. He seemed caring, trusting, and genuine but something else was there too. Lou couldn't hit it on the head but all she could think was that he was very damn unique.

"Oh I'm totally forgetting my manners, I'm Alex." He said extending his hand to her as she graciously accepted it feeling that same spark she had several moments before.

"I'm…" Lou began but stopped dead in her tracks, "I don't know who I am…"

"Do you have amnesia or something because I can take you to a trainer if you do and…" Alex began as Lou patted his leg and began to tell the story of her past several weeks in the WWE to explain herself. It took a while but Alex slowly began to understand the story.

When she was finished his big brown puppy dog eyes looked down at her with sadness in them. The way Alex looked at her made Lou's heart skip a few beats. He was different and she knew that but how?

"Wow that's a really interesting story." Alex inquired while she looked at the man sadly. There were tears brimming in her eyes while she tried to keep herself together. Lou was sick of crying and she didn't want to do it in front of Alex again. He had seen her cry enough for one day.

"Yea, I know, all I can think is that every time something happens with Shawn it gets worse for me but better for him. I kind of just want to leave this place behind and never look back but I know I can't do that to Shawn now that we both know the truth." Lou sighed shoving her head into her hands. "God, this is just so confusing."

"Hey," Alex said putting a friendly hand on her shoulder, "It'll be okay, trust me."

"Huh, I just met you and you're asking me to trust you? Easier said than done," Lou muttered at him. "What are you doing here anyway? Something tells me you're a new wrestler right?"

Alex stifled a laugh as he shook his head.

"Yea, I wish but according to the talent scouts I'm not good enough for the big leagues yet. The Varsity Villain has to stay at FCW until Vince thinks I'm ready which is probably going to never." He said bitterly.

"FCW, what's that?" Lou asked.

"You work here and you don't know what that is?" Alex responded a bit confused himself.

"Eh, I just started commentating a few weeks back and now I found out I'm Shawn's long lost kid so excuse me for not being on the up and up about pro wrestling terms." She responded snarkily with a shrug of the shoulders.

"It's Florida Championship Wrestling, one of WWE's developmental territories. I've been training there since I finished my last tour on the Indy circuit." Alex explained as she nodded her head.

"That still doesn't explain what you're doing here." Lou said trying to get an answer out of him.

"Vince thinks I could learn some responsibility if I am a jobber at some of the shows. He thinks my work effort needs improvement. So what does he do? Hires me to work for him while doing manual labor, pure brilliance right there!" Alex sarcastically replies as Lou chuckles at him.

"Leave it to Vince to hire a wrestler to do crew work," Lou mutters under her breath.

"Louisa!" a voice yells from the back as it echoes throughout the arena causing Lou to jump into the air.

"Shawn!" she yells in a panicked voice while Alex looks at her. "I'm so sorry but I have to go I just kind of stormed out of Shawn's dressing room with no rhyme or reason and he probably really upset and…"

"Shh… it's okay. I can go." Alex answers while he gets up and helps her up as well. The two then look at each other with stars in their eyes as Alex grabs her hand and pulls it up to his mouth to kiss it. "Goodbye, Miss I don't know who I am…"

With that he gently kisses her hand and jumps off the stage and begins to walk around the corner.

"Wait, Alex!" Lou yells as he whirls around to find her on the edge of the stage, "Will I see you again?"

"Most defiantly," he answers her as he begins to walk away once again.

"Louisa!" Shawn's voice booms as he gets closer to the stage where she stands.

"And Alex," she says so only he can hear her, "I'm Louisa Michaels."

"It's a pleasure to meet you Louisa," Alex yells as he disappears off into the shadows behind the stage just as Shawn throws the curtain aside to find Lou standing on the stage looking off into the sea of empty seats.

Shawn looks down at the young woman and embraces her in a hug as she accepts it. The two stand there in silence for several minutes before Shawn raises her chin so her eyes meet his gaze.

"I think we need to talk about all this," Shawn says in a very fatherly tone.

"I'm ready to go when you are," Lou answers him as Shawn leads the way back to his and Hunter's dressing room. Lou just stands there for several seconds looking out into the arena with the empty seats again. With one last glance over her shoulder she exits the scene.

"Thank you Alex," she says to herself, "I think this the start of a beautiful friendship."

Lou leaves the stage but what she didn't realize was that in the shadows of the stage was her newly found friend watching the father daughter confrontation. Alex emerges from his hiding spot and looks at where the young commentator once stood.

"Louisa, I believe this the beginning of something more beautiful than friendship."

There you have it. Mr. Brown Eyes has been revealed, and it's Alex Riley! Who knew? Umm… well I knew but yea, now for you folks who like to be politically correct with stories, this one isn't going to be because Alex doesn't come into the WWE until mid-2010 at the earliest and our story is taking place in 2008. So in that sense it's going to be a bit AU. But I'm hoping you like it anyways! :) But now that two storylines have come into play: the Shawn's daughter one and Alex Riley love interest, why not add in a third? I beat you know where I'm going with this since she is Shawn's daughter and all… just wait and see, I got big plans for Lou! And wasn't Alex's dialogue with her brilliant? :)

So shout outs go to: MJ Potter Black Weasley, AirbournexMachinexGuns (so, so, so, so sorry for the spelling error last chapter! I have no idea where that random y came from, like literally no idea!), and Brittney of Angels (you motivated me very, very, very, very, very, very, very, much to get this chapter written, you're the best :) ).

Thank you for reviewing! You're all amazing! :D

So until next my adoring readers, start packing for college, watch The Proposal, and take a picture with Barney the Dinosaur, check out Randy Orton's recent twit pic with him. Yea, Randy Orton with Barney the Dinosaur, and no I'm not kidding, hmmm… I sense a humorous one shot coming on! Will see! ~always with much love ~L.
