Hey Everyone. So, I'm rewriting the ending of this entire story on my new laptop because my desktop finally shit the bed and is toast. I was really upset and put off rewriting because not only did I have BAL finished, but the first half of the third story No Boundaries written.
But, you guys have been such faithful readers and have been patient with me when life got in the way that I couldn't not rewrite this. And, I got to tweak some stuff too which hopefully has made it better.
My goal today is to finish Becoming a Legacy. With everything that's happened in WWE since I started Haley's journey a lot of have things have changed in my story arch for her in the rest of the series. I've decided there will be five parts total. Over It, Becoming a Legacy, No Boundaries, From the Ashes and the final installment will be Set the World on Fire.
I am ruling out any other love interests from this point on. Dave/Haley/Randy is how we go in this series. I have ultimately chosen who Haley will wind up with at the end of Set the World on Fire and I promise you will not be able to predict it because I'm taking you on one hell of a ride.
Haley has become such a real character to me. Every time I watch WWE I keep expecting her to show up and my brain has thought how to fit her into the storylines. I admire her, respect and ultimately want the best for her. I hope I do her justice by having her make the right choice in the end.
Anyway, we left of with Randy about to get busted for his part in Eve's scheme, so without further ado, let the drama commence!
Chapter 78:
"What plan?" Haley looked at her television screen with confusion and growing suspicion. Randy hated Eve as much as she did. Why would he even remotely think about working with her.
Onscreen…
"Uh…because Dave is a jackass and doesn't appreciate me." Eve replied simply, shrugging nonchalantly at Randy. "Now I've screwed him out of the title and he'll wish he never pissed me off."
"That was never part of our deal, Eve." Randy glared down at her harshly. "We had a plan for both of us to get what we want. You can't just change it because it's not that easy for you."
"Actually, I can." She smirked at Randy. "I'll chalk it up to a failed experience and pick out another fish to fry. It's not like Dave is the only main eventer in this company who can boost my career."
"I don't give a damn about your career Eve." He practically snarled. "The plan was for you to set Dave up so Haley thought he cheated on her. Then you could have Dave to yourself and my path to Haley would be clear. I even got you that aphrodisiac to slip into his drink!"
"Which worked, for one night. Face it Randy, the plan sucked and didn't work. I'm over it. I'll keep screwing Dave over to make him pay for rejecting me and then I'll move on to something better." Eve said dismissively. "As for you, I don't know what you're worried about. I didn't tell anyone about our plan so as far as Haley is concerned, she still thinks Dave cheated on her."
"Yeah, and because you screwed him out of the title, she now feels bad for him. She shouldn't be feeling anything but hatred for him. You screwed up Eve and if this blows up in my face, you and me, we're going to have a problem." Randy warned her.
"Go take a Xanax Orton, you are way too uptight. I don't even know why you care so much. Haley isn't even worth all this drama." Eve rolled her eyes. "I have a match to get ready for so I'm going to put an end to this discussion." She said before closing the door to the Diva's locker room in his face.
In Boston…
"Holy Fucking Shit!" Candice's cursing sounded in Haley's ear, reminding her that she was still holding her cellphone with the Candy-coated Diva on the other line.
"Candice…" Haley trailed off, unable to believe what she had just witnessed.
"He set you up! Randy Orton fucking set you up! That son of a bitch! And here I was rooting for him! I want to castrate him!" Candice raged on her end. "He worked with that two timing hussy to hurt you! What a jackass!
There was a beep inbetween Candice's ramble, signaling call waiting and Haley pulled her phone away from her ear long enough to see that John Cena was trying to get through to her on the other line. "Candice, hold that thought…" Haley switched over to the other line. "John?"
"How would you like me to kill him? Slow and painful or fast and violent?" John asked in a tight voice. She could hear the barely restrained fury.
"I don't know." Haley moaned. "I can't think right now."
"He stabbed you in the back, Haley. This is the worst kind of betrayal I've ever seen!" John roared. "Seriously? I want to murder him!"
"Hunter was right." Haley murmured quietly. "He knew all along. He was right and I just thought he was taking Dave's side. Oh God Dave! John, what have I done?"
"You've done nothing!" John told her adamantly. "This is Randy's fault! Do you hear me? Randy's! You were set up to believe what he wanted you to believe. You had no proof otherwise. This is not your fault and no one will blame you."
Haley started to cry in earnest. "I've ruined everything John. I didn't believe in Dave or Hunter. They're going to hate me! And Randy, I can't believe he could do this to me."
"They don't hate you!" John sighed. "I'm coming over. Just sit tight. I'll be there in ten minutes." He promised before hanging up.
The hang up put her back on the other line with Candice who could immediately how upset her friend was. "Oh Sweetheart, I'm so sorry. But we'll fix this, don't worry."
"Candice this is all my fault. I should have believe Hunter when he told me and none of this would have happened." Haley cried. "I pushed not just Dave but Hunter away and they were the only ones who knew the truth."
"Haley they had no proof. It looked really bad. We all believed Dave cheated. He's been treated like a leper in the locker room. This is not your fault." Candice said consolingly. "You've done nothing wrong, okay? Randy betrayed you. We will make him pay. I'm castrating him, I swear to God."
Haley let out a watery chuckle at her friend's comment. "That's if you get to him before Dave does. Dave will kill him for his part in all this."
"I know." Candice agreed. "You should call him, Haley. I guarantee it will make you feel better if you and Dave patch things up."
"I can't. Not yet. What if he hates me?" Haley bit her lip anxiously.
"Haley its impossible for that man to hate you. This isn't your fault, remember? This rests solely on the shoulders of Randy and Eve." Candice said. "You have done nothing wrong."
Meanwhile…
"You are a fucking idiot." Dwayne Johnson said angrily, the moment the other line was picked up.
"What do you mean?" Randy Orton asked sounding thoroughly confused.
"Your entire confrontation with Eve about your stupid plan was aired on live television. Haley saw the whole thing. She knows Orton and you, are fucked!" Dwayne informed, switching lanes on highway 93, trying to get back to Haley's as quickly as possible.
There was silence on the other end for a long moment. Long enough that Dwayne checked his phone to make sure the called hadn't been dropped.
"SHIT!" Randy began to swear. "Shit! Shit! Shit! Fucking Hell!"
"That's where you are headed, Orton. I'd get the hell out of the arena if I were because if Batista finds you, you are meat." Dwayne passed several cars and swerved onto the exit ramp. "I'm going to try and do damage control, but Haley will not forgive you for this one, I guarantee it."
"FUCK!" Orton swore again before hanging up the phone.
Back in the arena…
"I think your name has been cleared and you're back in good standing." Shawn Michaels voice filled the silence of the locker room after Randy's segment had aired.
Dave dropped into a chair in stunned silence. His innocence had finally been proven. Randy really had set him up and now the entire world knew it. Haley now knew the truth. They could fix things. He could get her back.
"Hunter is going to gloating about this." Shawn realized the Animal wasn't really listening and spoke more to himself. "His plan and it worked. We'll never hear the end of it."
"I'M GOING TO KILL RANDY ORTON!" Dave shouted suddenly, getting back to his feet. "I'M GOING TO BREAK HIM IN FUCKING HALF! HE IS THE BIGGEST PIECE OF SHIT IN THIS COMPANY!"
Shawn smirked a little at Dave's outburst. "I don't know," He said slightly amused. "I still think Jericho's the biggest piece of shit in this company. We should make a title and have them compete for it to make it official."
Dave glared at Shawn, not looking amused.
"Right, not time for jokes yet sorry." Shawn grinned. "KILL RANDY!"
That set Dave off into another tirade and had Shawn laughing as Dave left the locker room to hunt down the Legend Killer and inflict a world of pain on him.
"I've got to hang out with Dave more often." Shawn said to himself. "No wonder Hunter kept him around for so long. I should inflict him on JBL next."
Repeat after me "Randy is fucked!"
Haha! Man I do not want to be Orton when Dave finally gets a hold of him. *shudders*
Coming Up…the betrayal goes deeper as Haley discovers Dwayne knew about it and never told her. Now, before anyone freaks Dwayne and Haley are family, always will be. Him, she will eventually forgive, though she's going to be very mad at him for awhile.
Hope you all enjoyed!
