How Taking Down Legacy Failed

Mickie's P.O.V

I was exhausted, I hadn't slept. I left the hospital around 2am, I needed to get away. I wanted to go inside the room where Randy was in, but I couldn't, I couldn't face it, so until 2, I sat outside the hospital and now I am sitting on the beach not far from my hotel. It was 7am. My phone had gone off many times. I had a lot of missed calls from John, some from Ted and Cody and a few from Melina. I just wanted to be alone. I needed to wrap my head around it all. Randy was in a coma. It hadn't sunk it yet. I don't think it will. I've been thinking about it all night, so many thoughts and feelings towards it, but it still doesn't feel real. It's like a rumour you hear about a superstar, you don't think its real. I went to a bar earlier, but I had to get out of there. On the TV in the bar, it was saying about Randy Orton, WWE superstar was in a coma. I couldn't listen, I just ran out.

I had just been starring out into the sea. I used to love the seaside when I was a little girl. We went on holiday once and where we were staying was near a beach, I used to sneak out early hours of the morning just to stare out, no one was around, it was just somewhere I could go to be alone.

I saw a shadow in front of me; I turned my head to the side. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw it was Ted. He sat down beside me. He didn't say a word. He just put his arm around me and pulled my head into his chest. And I just cried. I couldn't hold it in anymore. I knew Ted would find me eventually, I told him how when I was younger I used to come here. Maybe I needed someone to be here and just sit there. Instead of asking me loads of questions.

After I was done crying, I lifted my head up to Ted. "It doesn't feel real" I said to him wiping my eyes. "I tried to sleep, but all I can picture of Randy lying there"

"Yeah I know how you feel" He replied looking down. "Look, I'm going to go to the hospital in about an hour, do you want to come with me?" He asked me. I thought for a moment.

"I don't think it's my place to be by his side" I told him. "I don't want to Sam to catch on; I know Randy wouldn't want that"

"Mickie, you were a large part of Randy's life, you still are and you have as much right as anybody else to be there" He said to me. I smiled at him.

"Thank you, but I'd rather you keep me updated, if that's ok?" I asked me, he nodded and got up. He started to walk away.

"If I go and see him, I don't think I can handle that" I called out to him, he stopped and turned to face me.

"You know where to find me, if you want me" He replied and walked off. I watched him go and then laid back in the sand. Should I go see Randy?

I walked back up to the hotel; I went back to mine and John's room. He normally goes to the gym at this hour so hopefully he won't be in there. I wasn't in the mood to deal with him. I walked in our room, he wasn't there thank god. I pulled out my camera from my bag. I sat on our bed, laid back and looked at the photos of me and Randy from a few weeks ago. That time I was in the hotel's garden and he came out and started messing around with my camera. The faces Randy pulled, they made me laugh and I realised, I missed him more then I admitted to myself. It hurt seeing how we were once so close and now, nothing. Tears started to splatter on my camera; I wasn't going to fight crying anymore, I knew the tears would fall anyway. I curled up and laid on my pillow and just cried. I kept a protective arm around my camera. Those pictures were the only thing I had left of our friendship.

Ted's P.O.V

I walked into Randy's hospital room. He was still the same. Sam was sitting on top of him, talking to him.

"I know you can hear me Randy, wake up, wake up for me" She whispered to him. I just watched for a few moments.

"Sam, Why don't you take off and have a rest?" I asked her. "I can look after him" I told her.

"I'm happy here" She said back, not evening looking at me.

"Well even so, you need to get some sleep" She didn't take the hint. I know she has a right to be here, but she needs to give other people a chance to talk to him. I didn't want to talk to him while she was still.

"I don't care, I just want to stay next to Randy" She said to me sternly.

"Sam, maybe you should start preparing yourself for the worst" I told her, I know she didn't want to hear it, but she needs too. Even Mickie has thought about the possibility, I could see it in her eyes this morning. She was hurting, she loved Randy, I can see the hurt in her eyes, every time she sees around, you can see the pain in her face.

"Can I speak to you outside for a second?" She asked me, I looked at her confused, but I followed her out the room.

"I've made it clear that I don't want to talk like that and I made it clear I don't want you to talk about it in front of Randy, He can hear everything your saying, if you have something negative to say, don't and if you've given up already there is no point in you being here" She hissed at me before walking back into Randy's hospital room. I hate that woman. I don't know what Randy sees in her. He is so much better off with Mickie.

I went for a walk seeing as Sam won't let me back in. I got half way before realising she can't control me. He is my best friend and I wasn't going to let her stop me from seeing him. I came back to see her having a go at the doctor. It's funny how she doesn't do it in front of Randy. Maybe he'll hear what a bitch she really is.

John's P.O.V

"Layla" I moaned. She rolled off of me finished. I put my hands behind my head and just laid there as Layla rested her head on my chest. I looked at the time. 8am. I spent the night with Layla, like I said, she is easy. I need to get some frustration out. Mickie still hadn't answered my calls. Where the fuck is she? I have the right mind to go down to that hospital and drag her back here so we can talk. Who does she think she is? We have a little falling out and she now thinks she has the right to ignore all my calls and messages. She will regret it. And on top of this, I can't get in contact with Sam either. Fuck my life.

What is it with women that make them think they have control? I will show Mickie who wears the pants in this relationship. She needs to learn to respect me. I grabbed my phone and tried again. I threw my phone when it went to voicemail.

"What's wrong baby?" Layla asked me, I shook my head.

"Nothing" I replied.

Mickie's P.O.V

I walked out of the hotel room, I knew John would be back soon, so I decided to go some place else. I was walking down the corridor when I saw Cody; I ran up to him and tugged on his arm.

"Hey" He said to me, pulling me to a hug.

"Hey, I'm glad I saw you, how's Randy doing?" I asked just hoping he'll give me some good news.

"He is still in a coma, still not responding" He replied, I looked down. "I've been expecting to see you there" He said. "Have you been in this morning?" He asked me.

"No, I've stayed away" I replied, he looked at me confused. "I keep thinking he is going to be fine…" I told him.

"Oh Mickie, I wasn't trying to make you feel bad" Cody said to me, pulling me into a hug. "I'm sorry" He whispered into my ear. I nodded against his chest. "So why are you staying away?" He asked me.

"I just want to stay out of Sam's way, she always thinks I'm over stepping the mark" I replied.

"This must be hard for you" He said to me, I nodded and squeezed my eyes shut.

"I just keep trying to convince myself that he'll get better" We broke apart to see Ted starring at us. Cody took the hint and left us alone.

"Mickie, I'm worried about you, I think you should go and see Randy" Ted said to me. I shook my head. "I know you're concerned about him and I think seeing him might make you cope better"

"What about Sam? What if she doesn't want me there?" I asked him.

"You can't let that dictate what you want to do" I shook my head as in I wasn't going. "If something bad happens, how are you going to feel? I'm sorry; I don't mean to be so blunt…" I cut him off.

"It's ok, its something I've thought about" I told him, he waited, I sighed. "I'll go and see him today" I told Ted. He smiled and hugged me. I felt scared. I wanted to see Randy, but part of me didn't. Seeing him lying there, but not being there, it was all too real.

I rode with Ted to the hospital. I hesitated before going.

"She's in there Ted, I can't" I started to walk away, but he grabbed my arm.

"I'll get her out" He told me, before walking in. I walked around the corner and sat down in a chair. What was I going to do? What was I going to say? There is so much I want to tell him, but should I? I mean, can he really hear me? Do I want him to hear me? What if Ted can't get Sam out, then I won't be able to go in and see him. She hasn't moved for the past few days, what is going to make her move?

I saw both Ted and Sam leave the hospital room, when Sam was out of sight, I walked over to Ted.

"How did you get her to leave?" I asked him.

"She has a baby scan" He told me, I nodded. I forgot all about her being pregnant. I stood in front of the door. I could feel my heart thudding. I pushed the door slightly open. I walked in and shut the door behind me, but I didn't dare look at John. My eyes were still on the wall in front of me. I closed my eyes and turned to Randy. I moved my hand until I felt his arm, a shock went through me and I opened my eyes with a gasp. There he was. Seeing him laying there, all these wires attached. I ran my hand up and down his arm. He felt so warm, shouldn't he feel cold? He always felt warm to me.

"Hi Randy" I whispered to him. I watched him, no reaction. "I don't know if you can hear me or not, but it's Mickie" I starred at him.

"I see Sam and the doctors have taken care of you well" It was like I was trying to make conversation. "All this attention, I bet you're loving it" I chuckled.

"Oh Randy, why can't you just open your eyes, your beautiful eyes and see how much we will love you" I cried into his chest. "I wish it was me in your position, you are too important to me, I'd rather die than see you in pain, now like this" I looked up at his face and ran my hand down his cheek. "I wish you could feel my warmth, the kind of warmth that was present that first time that you kissed me" I squeezed my eyes shut, letting my tears fall freely. "Everytime I look at you, I just wish you could hear and you could feel me, I wish that you could feel my tears falling on your skin"

I started to get frustrated; I just wanted him to wake up.

"Please Randy just wake up!" I shook him. "I've lost so many other people and I've handle it, but loosing you, I can't handle it Randy, I love you"

"I'm sorry" I sobbed. I don't know how long I sat there crying for, I cried until I fell asleep.

No one's P.O.V

Mickie was asleep on Randy's arm.

"Mickie…" There was a whisper. She fluttered her eyes opened, and squinted at Randy's body.

"Mickie" A whispered said again. Randy's chest was rising heavily. His eyes were still closed.

"Randy" She sat up and rushed towards the upper part of his body. "Oh my god, you're awake" She was smiling so big. "I can't believe it, hang on let me get a nurse" Mickie got up and rushed towards the door.

"No Mickie, stop" Randy's gentle voice said, she stopped and turned to him.

"Hey, I knew you would come" His eyes fluttered open and looked directly into hers.
