How Taking Down Legacy Failed

I just laid there, facing the wall, facing away from John. I felt weight being lifted off the bed.

"I'm going out for a few hours, you better be here when I get back" He said to me, I didn't reply, I didn't even look at him. A few seconds later I heard the door shut. I took in a deep breath. My back was soar; I slowly got up and went to stand in front of the mirror. I turned around, pulled my shirt up and then looked over my shoulder. I had red marks on my lower back, which looked as if they were going to get worse, a bruise would definitely be left. I lowered my shirt back down gently and went back to the bed. I just starred at myself in the mirror. How did I get here? How did I become something I swore I would never be? I just took it, I didn't think he would actually hurt me, but he did, he hurt me, he kicked me, he punched me and I did nothing. I could have fought back, I could have done something. When it was over, I should have told him, we were over, but I didn't, I just let him. I can't believe what just happened, it doesn't feel real, this happened, this happened to me, I never thought it would, I said to myself, I would be so stupid to get involved in this shit, I would leave at the first sign of trouble. I didn't understand why the girl didn't leave the guy who did this to her or why she didn't tell anyone, but now, I understand, I was scared. I was terrified, I didn't want to piss him off like I used to, not after that, I think that's what he wanted.

I mean, while it was happening, I thought, the moment he is gone, I'll call Ted, I'll call for help, I'm not going to stay with him. But after he was done and after he had left, I just can't. I was scared, I felt stupid, I felt embarrassed, I felt numb. This wasn't just happening to anyone, this was happening to me. I never thought it would especially not with John. I may have been in the wrong by not calling or coming home, but that was no excuse for why he should have hurt me. I can't believe this, I felt like I couldn't breathe and that I needed to get out of this room, it felt so small all of a suddenly and being in here just made me feel sick, but I was scared to leave, I don't want what happened to repeat. It was already bad enough the first time, I don't want this to change me and I'm not going to let it, if I just give John what he wants, he won't hurt me, right?

I'm not going to let it happen again, I will let him off this time, but if it happens again, I can't stay, I can't be here. I don't know why I won't even do it this time, I just can't, I want to, but I can't, the question is, do I tell anyone? If I do, they will all tell me the same thing, just leave him, but where will I be then? Alone. And I don't want to be.

I didn't want him to come back, but I knew I would have to face it, so I decided to try and go to sleep so when he does come back, we won't have to talk, but I couldn't. I laid down and closed my eyes, but it was like I had forgotten how to fall asleep. It was the fact that I was desperate to sleep, that I couldn't. I just couldn't stop thinking about it, every time I closed my eyes and tried to think about something else, it always went back to the image of him hurting me. The sick smile on his face once he was done, it was almost as if he was proud. Part of me was begging that he would come and feel so guilty to what he did and promise me he would never lay another finger on me again. But was I kidding myself? Was it always going to be like this?

John's P.O.V

I went to have a couple of drinks, I needed time to think. I had just hurt Mickie, the way I did it, I felt powerful and I liked it, I loved being in control, but the look on Mickie's face, I felt a twang of guilt, I did, but the feeling was like no other. I felt wrong, I always hated the guys who abused their girlfriends, but I was just so fed up with her always doing what she wanted, she always disobeyed me, but now, hopefully after last night, it will keep her in line and I won't have to that again.

After a few hours, I went back to our room, Mickie was in bed, facing the wall, I stripped down to my boxers and snuggled up next to her, I felt her body flinch against my as I put my arm around her waist and pulled her closer. I knew she was awake, despite the fact she was pretending to be asleep. I looked at her back where I focus the damage. I slowly lifted up the pyjama top, I felt her tense. I saw a bruise on the lower part of her back, it was turning green, I ran my fingers along it, I felt her flinch again. Damn, I really was hard on her. I felt guilty again, but now I knew she wouldn't fuck with me again like she did. She will always do as she is told, she will always pick up her phone when I call and she was always obey me now. Maybe a little punishment is all they need, it's not like I'm going to do it again, Right? So it's ok. Yeah it's ok. I lowered her top again and pulled her close. I pushed her hair behind her ears and started planting kisses on her neck, once again I felt her tense, but she didn't stop me, as before she would of. I smiled to myself, I think this has worked.

I ran my hand up and down her body, I kept feeling her body tense, did she really think she was fooling me the fact that she had gone to sleep? I had gotten inside her head and that's where I was going to stay. You would forgive me, she has no other choice, but too, but she will never forget. She will always remember now to mess with me. I then laid my head down and went to sleep.

Randy's P.O.V

I was beginning to feel so sick of visitors, as much as I appreciated everyone coming in and wishing me well, I just wanted to be alone, I just wanted to think and I still needed to talk to Ted about getting Mickie to come in, but I can't do this while everyone is around, especially Sam. I was exhausted. I laid back and let everyone chat amongst themselves. Sam was going on about god knows what.

"Sorry guys, I'm going to have to ask you to limit it to just 1 person, Randy still needs plenty of rest" The doctor said, I love this doctor, remind me to pay him. Everyone nodded and started to make their way out, including Ted, he couldn't go, I needed to talk to him. Sam sat where she was and decided among herself that she will be the one to stay.

"Ted, can I speak to you?" I asked him, he stopped and looked at Sam. "Do you mind if I just talk to Ted for a minute?" I asked Sam, she didn't look to happy, but she still nodded and started making her way out.

"What's up Randy?" Ted asked me, I looked towards the door to make sure Sam wasn't standing there listening.

"I need to ask you for a favour" I said, Ted nodded and sat down beside me. "Can you get Mickie and bring her back here?" I asked him, he looked confused.

"Erm, why?" He asked, Ted wouldn't understand, I just wish he wouldn't question me and just go find her.

"That doesn't matter, I just need to talk to her, I need to see her, just bring her in when Sam isn't around, ok?" I asked him, he didn't move.

"What is this about Randy? I think I have the right to know, she is my best friend and I don't want to see her getting hurt again" He said to me, I know I have hurt Mickie, I keep getting flashbacks of her in tears and I hate that. I don't want to hurt her anymore, but I just need to do this.

"Being in a coma Ted, it was dark, it was like, there was no light to break it up and I heard all these voices, but none of them was her and I waited, I kept waiting Ted, just for her, not Sam, I had forgotten all about Sam, I didn't even recognise her voice" I told him, he just sat there and listened and gestured for me to continue. "And then I heard Mickie's voice and all I wanted to do was to wake up and hold her Ted, do you know how that feels, to have one person's voice affect you so much?"

"You had just come out of a coma Randy, you're confused, you're…" I cut Ted off.

"I know what I feel Ted and now I just can't stop thinking about her, her smell, her touch, her smile, her everything Ted" I smiled at him, he starred at me doubtfully.

Ted's P.O.V

Randy was telling me everything about how he felt for Mickie, but how many times have I heard this before? The night Mickie got transferred to Smackdown he told me he would never let this one get away and what did he do? The minute she was gone, Sam came into the picture, shows how much he loves Mickie ay. He has hurt Mickie so many times and I don't want to see that happen again. She deserves to move on, she deserves to be happy, but I don't want Randy to keep fucking it up for her. Any moment he feels she is moving on, it's like he plans to pull her back in, but only to let her down again. If he really loved her, he would let her go and stop hurting her.

"Listen Randy, you are engaged, you have a child on the way, are you saying your just going to drop that all for Mickie and actually mean it this time?" I asked him, he hesitated, I knew he was serious about this.

"I love Sam, I really do Ted, but I still need to talk to Mickie" He told me.

"What if you change your mind Randy? You've done that so many times, you've just come out of a coma, your not thinking straight" I said, he scoffed.

"I know what I'm thinking Ted, these feelings for Mickie, they are real, I know they are, they've always have been there" He replied.

"How many times have I heard that?" I snapped at him. He backed down a bit. I had hit a nerve, he knew I was right.

"I want you to be happy Randy, I honestly do, but I don't want you hurting Mickie again, all I'm asking is that you know for sure, before you do this" I said trying to talk some reason into him.

"Please, just ask her Ted" His voice was pleading with me. I sighed and nodded. I doubt Mickie would come, she couldn't get out of here fast enough before.

I left his hospital room and gave Sam the ok to go back in, she couldn't get in there fast enough. Melina sent me a small smile and stood beside me.

"What did he want to talk to you about?" She asked.

"He wants me to go get Mickie" I replied, her face dropped.

"Why?" She asked. "Hasn't he hurt her enough?"

"He says he still love her" I told her, she shook her head.

"How many times have we heard that before" She retorted. I nodded agreeing with her. I didn't know what to do.

Will Mickie go see Randy? Will she tell anyone what happened with John?
