A/N: Thank y'all for reading and reviewing! I really appreciate it!

It had been two months since Riley and Randy had split; Samantha was now four months pregnant. Riley was finally happy again; she and her hometown friends were hanging out just about every day. She had filled them in on what happened with Randy and naturally they were upset. Even her best guy friend was prepared to fight. "I'll kill that som'bitch! Ain't nobody gonna hurt my girl and get away with it!" He said. Riley laughed at his eagerness. "It's not worth it, Tucker. Just let it go; I'm fine." She said. Her friends had calmed down when they saw that Riley was okay with the situation.

Riley could never go out any more without being followed by paparazzi and news reporters. She had become a starlet practically overnight. She was invited to the most exclusive Tennessee spots; she was often given free items in the malls. Riley was starting to enjoy the attention.

It had taken her a while to work up the courage to watch Raw. Tonight was going to be the first night she had done so since leaving Randy. She was live blogging the show when she heard the music that once made her swoon. Her heart raced and her breaths grew shallow. She took a deep breath when Randy appeared on her screen.

Usually, when she saw Randy on TV a blog post might be something like RAAAAANNNNDDDYYYY! ON MY SCREEN! RIGHT. NOW. Instead, Riley didn't make a post at all. She watched as Sheamus came out right after. Randy and Sheamus had been bickering over who would face Big Show after he turned against them the day before. Riley noticed that Randy looked sick. He looked really sick. He had dark circles around his eyes; his once defined abs were now a bit flabby.

Riley found herself smiling at the sight. She realized that Randy was falling apart without her. She folded her arms and smirked as she watched as Randy grabbed a microphone. She watched closely and she could have sworn that Randy asked Sheamus for his line. She howled in laughter. "That's what you get, you asshole! Karma is a friend of mine; she's a bitch ain't she?" she yelled at the TV. She couldn't have been happier at that moment.

At least she didn't think she could. In a later match, Randy was forgetting move sets and he even messed up his always perfect scoop power slam. Riley was over the cloud at Randy's failure. That was exactly what she needed; she just needed to know that Randy was a mess without her.

After the match, Randy was confronted by Stephen backstage. "What the hell was that, fella?" he asked. Randy ignored him and kept walking. "I asked you a question!" Stephen yelled. "I don't want to talk about it right now." Randy said. Stephen nodded and left Randy to himself.

Randy took a shower and dressed before grabbing his bag. He walked toward the exit and her intercepted by Stephen. "You miss her don't you?" Stephen asked. Randy sighed and nodded. Stephen shook his head. "What about your wife, fella? She's pregnant and you're thinking about another woman." He said. Randy scoffed. "Sam doesn't even care about me. At least Riley gives a damn about me and my career." He said. Stephen sighed. "How do you know Riley wasn't just after your money?" he asked.

Randy couldn't believe his friend. "When I told her Vince wanted her to leave, she grabbed her bags and left. I had to run after her! She just wanted what was best for me. She wasn't thinking about herself." He said. "Just try to work on your marriage. Just try to make Sammy happy." Stephen said. "Really? Make Sam happy? What about me, man? Don't I deserve to be happy, too?" he asked.

Stephen just stood there. He didn't say anything. Randy knew he had an answer. Randy shook his head and walked away. It seemed like the people around him didn't care about his happiness. All they wanted was to make Sam happy.

When he got back on the RV, Sam was asleep on the bed. Randy was actually glad that Sam was already asleep. He didn't feel like talking to her. There was only one person he wanted to talk to, but she wasn't answering any of his calls.

Tuesday morning, Riley was woken up by the doorbell. She got up and walked downstairs sleepily. When she opened the door, there were 2 boxes. One was brown, short, and wide and the other was white, long, and slim. She picked up the packages and took them to her bedroom. She sat on the bed with the boxes and read the return address. They were both from Randy; she opened the bigger box first. Inside were the lingerie, t-shirts, dresses, shoes, and handbag she left on Randy's RV. She sighed and put the box on the floor.

She then opened the slim, long box. Inside were a dozen red roses; there was a card. Dear Riley, I'm so sorry for what I've done. I miss you and I want to make things right. Please call me so we can talk. I love you. – Randy.

Riley found herself admiring the gesture, but she quickly snapped out of it. She decided to keep the clothes, but she threw out the roses. Randy had broken her heart; if he thought Riley was just going to crawl back to him because of roses, he was sadly mistaken.

A/N: There are a few chances to make predictions:

Riley seems perfectly happy without Randy. Do you think it's a façade or do you think she's truly comfortable without him?

Do you think Randy should just move on and be with Sam and the baby?

Spoiler: Riley gets close to another superstar in chapter 9. Who do you think it is?

A/N 2: There won't be a sneak peek for chapter nine since I'll be posting it (probably) tomorrow. I'd still love it if you would review! I love you for reading.

Also, I'm sorry this chapter is so short; it's functioning as a transitional chapter to bridge events. Chapter 9 will be worth it, trust me! (It's a monster!)
