Every single day Randy tried to call Ryder, but nothing; he couldn't piece it together, he didn't know if she was hurt, or if Seb was hurt; even worse if they were dead.
Months had passed since they disappeared, Randy was never the same. He took all his anger out when he wrestled, but it was like he wasn't even there anymore. He didn't care much for anything; it was as if his heart had been ripped straight out of his chest. He missed them more and more each day but he didn't show it to anyone else, he just went on with life as if nothing had happened.
Randy started sleeping with Kelly again; he didn't feel like he had to keep a promise to someone who was most probably not even alive anymore. Every time he closed his eyes he could see her face, it haunted him every single night, he would dream that when he was standing in the ring he would look out and see her face, he would chase after her but she would disappear.
Randy began to slowly recover after losing them, unfortunately he started drinking heavily and partying harder than ever. Somehow in between all the drinking and partying he asked Kelly to marry him, the next morning he woke up engaged. He loved her, but he wasn't in love with her; but he didn't want to be alone anymore. He wasn't going to find anyone he felt the same way as he did for Ryder.
It had been a year, as hard as Randy tried Seb and Ryder would never leave his mind. Finally he was beginning to become happier again, He was the WWE champion and at the top of his game and Kelly and himself had become a legitimate couple, he didn't want anything to ruin it this time around.
WWE was taking its annual world tour, they had been everywhere; London, Paris, Japan and Spain. There was one last stop and that was Australia. Flying over there messed with Randy's head it brought back too many memories and it made him feel like all he had done to get over them was being undone by the hands of a country.
Randy tried to take his focus off everything and prepare for his match against Wade later that night. He got himself into the zone and was ready; he was angrier than ever and ready to kick some ass. Wade was the one who pushed him down the stairs, he was the reason Ryder and Seb were brought into his life, and for all Randy cared he was the reason they were gone.
Randy's music hit and he walked out onto the stage completely in the zone, like he was about to kill someone. He slowly walked down and climbed into the ring. He waited for Wade to come down and their match begun.
Randy was destroying Wade; he never had so much hatred for someone in his life. He stood up and sized Wade up for a RKO. He looked up and locked eyes with a girl, it wasn't any girl; It was Ryder, He was sure of it. Her hair was completely blonde now and a bit shorter, but those blue eyes were something he would never forget.
She locked eyes with him and then turned away; she began to disappear into the crowd. Randy slid out the ring and hoped over the barricade and chased her. Wade's yelling at him from the ring became distant just like the roar of the crowd completely disappeared when he saw those beautiful eyes again.
He chased and chased but lost sight of her, he was expecting to wake up any second now but he never did. For once this wasn't a dream but he wasn't sure if his mind was just playing tricks on him. Punk came out the back after him.
"Dude, teddy's pretty pissed you bailed on the match."
"I saw her, I know it was her, it didn't look like her but it was." Randy managed to get it out while he was catching his breath.
"Saw who?" Cena chimed in.
"Ryder, she's here."
"Are you sure, you're pretty tired it might have just been in your head." Cena wanted it to be her for him but he knew Randy was going through a lot.
"Why did she run away from me when I chased her?"
Punk and Cena both looked at each other.
Punk said disappointedly "Your right, why would she run away from you? I think it's in your head man."
Randy looked down in disappointment, he had a point. She had no good reason to run away from him.
"Come on; let's go get you some coffee." Cena suggested.
"I'm just going to go back to the hotel and sleep. I'll catch you guys later." Randy sighed.
Randy was sitting on his bed; he wasn't ready to give up so easily. He knew what his eyes saw and that was Ryder. He had found a private investigator that could find out where she was. His phone rang.
"Did you find her?" he hoped.
"Unfortunately not Mr. Orton; But we did find her relatives, maybe they can enlighten you."
"Thankyou so much." He scribbled down the address and hung up the phone. Kelly walked out of the bathroom. He folded up the paper and put it in his pocket.
"Who was that?" she smiled sweetly at him.
"Oh, just Teddy; he was letting me know I didn't have to go to the house show tomorrow, I'm just not feeling the best." He put his hand on his head pretending he had a headache.
"Oh that's no good, sucks that I have to go otherwise I would stay and look after you babe." She pouted.
"Yeah, it's a real shame." Randy lied.
