I didn't want to keep you guys hanging for too long so i made sure to get this one typed up. Its a tad bit shorter the the others, but i still hope you guys like it. I also wanted to add that the next chapter could possibly be the last one not 100% sure, but i think it might be.


"I….I don't know what to say….." Alexis said into the mic for the whole WWE Universe to hear. It was all happening so fast. Maybe too fast? No. Alexis was sure that Adam was the one guy she wanted to spend the rest of her life with, but she was still scared. She loved Adam with all her heart and with what he just said, he felt the same. They had had their ups and down, but she knew that they were a lot stronger now then they had been in the past. Ever since Adam had told her about his neck and him losing feelings in his arms sometines, they seemed to get closer, if that was possible.

"Well, you could start by saying yes." Adam chuckled as he waited for an answer. This was the most nervous he had been in his entire life. Millions of people watching him. Not Edge, Adam Copeland. This was personal. No gimmicks, no storylines. This was his life outside of the ring. Sure he had already popped the questions to two other women outside of the ring, but none of them made him feel like Alexis did. They also weren't in front of the whole world. Sure he had got 'engaged' and 'married' before on national television, but it was a storyline and he already knew what was going to happen.

On the outside of the ring, Randy stood there in disbelief. After all he had done to wreck them they still ended up together. He didn't understand how two people could go through that much and yet still be madly in love. He just didn't get it. Any other relationship would have crumbled and the two would have hated each other. What made Adam and Alexis so different? Randy gave one last look at Adam and Alexis and then decided to head backstage. He was done. He gave up. There was nothing he could do to get them a part. Sure, maybe there was still a little part of him that wished he was Adam and that he was with Alexis, but he knew that ship had sailed a long time ago. Plus, there was also the fact that he didn't want to do anything stupid on live national TV.

Alexis watched as Randy headed backstage. She felt a little more at ease knowing that he wasn't going to try anything. She looked down at Adam and nodded slightly and brought the mic back up to her mouth. "Yes. I would love nothing more in the world then to marry my best friend and the love of my life." She saw all the nervousness drain from Adam's face and it was replaced by pure happiness. Adam slid the ring on her finger and then scooped her up in a giant bear hug.

"I love you so much." He whispered in her ear. He slightly pulled back and kissed her. He could feel her smiled into the kiss. This had to be the best day of his life, so far.

When they finally broke apart and Adam set her down, still keeping his hold on her she continued to smile and replied, "I love you too."

"I…I can't do this. I can't go out there." Adam was as pale as could be and he was so agitated it was scary. Adam ran his fingers through his hair and looked over at the World Heavy Weight Championship. Tomorrow he would have to give it up. Tonight, he had to tell everyone why.

"Baby, I know you're scared and upset, but-" Alexis didn't get a chance to finish as Adam cut her off. She stood across the locker room next to Jay, taking in this painful sight of her fiancée.

"You don't know anything! I've worked my whole life to get that"- He pointed to the title- "And now its over! Yeah, I've had it more then most other guys, but that doesn't change anything. Having something taken from you and you not being able to do a damn thing about it is the worst feeling you can ever fucking have!" At this point he wasn't talking about the title anymore. "I love this. I love being in that ring and now its being taken from me! Its either that or risk ending up dead or paralyzed. Its not fair! I should be able to end it when I want to. Not because of some fucking neck injury!" Adam sat down on the couch and buried his hands.

"Bro, you're whole career has been on your own terms." Jay stepped a little closer to Adam, but still keeping some distance. "You're upset, we can see that, but don't take it out on Alexis. She's just trying to help."

Adam looked up, looked at Jay and then at the women he had proposed to a little over a week ago in front of millions of people and just shouted at. He felt guilt beginning to make its way through his body. He didn't mean to yell like that, he was just really upset at the fact the doctors said that he would never be cleared to complete in the WWE ever again and it was just killing him.

"I'm sorry…."

"Don't be sorry, Adam. We know this has to hard, but Jay is right. Your whole career has been on your own terms. Plus, look at it this way: your last match was main-eventing WrestleMania and you're going out as the World Heavy Championship. There's no better way to go out."

They were interrupted as a crew member popped his head in and told Adam he was up next. Adam took a deep breath and then got up, walked over and grabbed the World Title.

Adam walked over to Jay and gave him a brotherly hug and then turned and walked to Alexis. He brushed a piece of stray hair out of her face and kissed her, letting his lips linger for a moment before completely pulling away. He stepped away from her and stepped towards the door. "Aren't you guys gonna wish me luck?" Adam trying his best at a smile, tried to lighten the mood before he had to make his dreadful announcement.

"Lucks for losers." Alexis tried to smile back as well, but it was hard seeing as what Adam had to do.

"You've been hanging out with Phil to much." Adam chuckled, gave the two one last look before completely leaving the room and heading out to make an announcement that would shake up the WWE.

"Wow…that was….uh... a lot harder then I thought it would be." Adam said as he walked backstage. He sniffed back the tears and rubbed the back of his neck as he was met with many face that he had grown used to and had become close friends with. Now, because Vince wanted him to, he had to say his good-byes to members of the roster as he proceed to walk further.

There was Ron Killings, Nick Nemeth, Vickie Guerrero, Anthony Carelli (Santino), Dustin Runnels, Mark Henry, Matt Korklan and so many more. All clapping for him and all wishing him well. He would miss all these faces. Not being on the road touring the world with these guys. He was really going to miss it. At the end of it all was the person he wanted to see the most and to just hold.

He wrapped his arms around his fiancée and just held her close. This was all so much and Alexis was there for him ever since he got the news. Even back when he had first gotten his neck injured, she was there and he knew she always would be.

Adam tensed when he noticed someone a bit father off looking on at them. He hadn't expected to even see him out here. He looked as if he was waiting to talk to Adam. Adam pulled away from Alexis, telling her he'd be right back and then headed over to the man that had caused him so much pain.

Once he reached the man, he stuck out his hand for Adam to shake. Adam just stood there, looked at his hand and then back up to his face. "You're kidding, right?"

"No, I'm not. I realized I did a lot of shit that no one should ever do. I crossed a line, with her," he looked over at Alexis, then back at Adam, - "and with you. After seeing you guys in the ring at WrestleMania, I realized it was worthless. There's no getting you two apart. I shouldn't have even tried to being with, but…..the bottom line is, I still may not like you and I mean REALLY not like you, but I gotta respect you and this is a way I wouldn't wish you to go out. I'm sorry for all the shit I did and made Amy do and I'm sorry you're forced to retire and I hope you and Alexis have a good life together. You deserve each other." Randy knew for a fact that he would hate to have to leave this business because of an injury and it's a superstar's worst nightmare. Also, he was really thinking last night and he realized how low a lot of the things he did were and he was sorry for them. He didn't know why. There were times when he didn't care and he wanted to hurt them, but after WrestleMania he really began to think and last night is when he finally realized all he did wrong.

"Wow, never expected you to say that. Its appreciated, but I still don't like you and I never will. You put me and her through hell. This isn't just gonna go away because you say you're sorry. But, because you're being civil for once, I guess I should too." Adam took Randy's hand and shook it. Of course he still wanted to punch the bastard in the face (repeatedly), but he was 'sorry' so Adam had to make a choice and he chose to be the bigger man. "Truce? Is all this shit done between us?" If Adam had a chance to end this, he was going to take it.

"Truce. It's over. No more."
