How Taking Down Legacy Failed

After the wedding, I took a week off. I needed time on my own. I was coming back to Raw tonight, I was scared as hell. Not only did I have to see the newly wed couple, but I know John would be on my case. I was debating whether to take tonight off as well, but I can't run forever and the longer I leave it, the worse it's going to get. I want to try and show Randy that I don't need him, that I don't care. I don't want him to see how much what he did killed me inside. I went straight to find Ted. I had missed him and wished he could of come with me, but he couldn't of taken time off. It just wasn't the right timing. Cody too.

I walked into their locker room, thankfully Randy wasn't here. I haven't seen him since the wedding, I didn't even watch Raw last week, I just couldn't bring myself to watch it.

"Baby!" Ted said excitedly, running up to hug me. Cody was not here. I had missed him too!

"Theodore" I grinned hugging him back.

"I miss you last week" He told me, I smiled.

"Same here, I missed you! You're so.."

"Handsome? Charming?" Ted interrupted.

"I was going to say missable" I poked my tounge out at ihm.

"How was your week off?" He asked me.

"It was good! I needed it! There was a time when a cashier asked me by date of birth to buy wine! I looked him dead in the eye and said 'I just had my heartbroken the other day so if you're thinking you're going to deny me wine, I feel compelled to tell you that that is a VERY poor life decision"

"Damn baby, your mean!" Ted pointed out laughing.

"I know" I grinned "Catch me up on what happened last week" I said sitting down.

"Well, yours truly has qualified for the Elimination chamber!" Ted smirked at me.

"That is great! Who did you face to get it?" I asked.

"Mark Henry"

"What about Cody?"

"He faced John" Ted replied waiting for my reaction. Even hearing his name pissed me off. I can't believe the nerve of him, he didn't just cheat on me, he did it with my former best friend and my sister. The worst possible of people he could of done. Asshole. "He lost" Damn. I would of loved Cody to get in over John.

"Is he ok?"

"I'm not sure, I haven't spoke to him since last week. He has been cold towards me! I've been lonely, I've only had my teddies to keep me company without you baby!" I hope things were ok between them, it's worrying that they didn't see each other whilst I was away.

"That's weird" I said to him gesturing to Cody being cold towards him.

"What, Cody's face?" he frowned. "I thought you would have noticed by now"

"Just because you two aren't on good terms Theodore" I said hitting him "Have you spoken to Randy?" I asked him, I was hesitant about asking.

"Not really" He shrugged. "I still feel like the air needs to be cleared after the Royal Rumble"

"I thought it was fine, I mean at the wedding.."

"So did I, he went really cold afterwards though" I bit my lip and nodded. I didn't want to talk about him, but I guess I was so used to. I haven't been able to talk about in the last week, but I know I couldn't keep this up. He is married, I just need to get on with my life. "How are you coping with it all?"

"Well, the thought of seeing him makes me feel physically sick so not well at all" I replied trying to put on a happy face. He pulled me into a hug, "Right, I will catch you later Theodore, I'm going to go to the women's locker room" I told him. He nodded and waved me off. I walked outside and was about to make my way to locker room, when I heard Ted sneeze. I was about to rush in and go bless you until I heard…

"Bless me. Thank me. You're welcome, me" He said to himself. I'm worried for his mental health. I shook my head and started walking again, I was hoping at all costs to avoid Randy. I kept my head down, I didn't want to talk to people, I just wanted to get there in peace, I especially didn't want to run into John. I power walked and I wasn't really looking where I was going, I felt myself hit something hard and I fell back on the floor.

"Could you watch where your going?" I heard a hiss. I shook my head trying to see straight. I looked up to see the reason why I left last week. Randy Orton. No efforts to help me up, nothing. He was a completely different person.

"Could you be much less of an ass?" I hissed back. I'm surprised I found the nerve to actually say it.

"I'm only like that to people who are worth it" He spat, I was still on the floor, I had managed to do the comeback, but not get up.

"Oh like your precious Sam?" I said pushing myself up. "Oh yes because she's really worth it" I sneered sarcastically.

"Yes precious, unlike John, she stuck by me and didn't go after my own sibling" Oh he hit a nerve there. Why is he being such an asshole?

"What about you ay? Did you stick by her when you were telling me you loved me?" I snarled at him. He stepped closer towards me.

"I already told you, that meant nothing to me" He gritted his teeth.

"Didn't seem like it at the time" I told him. "You 'used me and I'm pathetic' whatever loser uses someone is pathetic"

"Piggy James" He replied simply. I looked at him and it was like a reflex. I slapped him as hard as I could. It wasn't just for what he said, it was everything, all the times he had hurt me. A red hand print appeared on his face. He panted. He didn't seem to take to kindly to slaps, it's like he works himself up.

"It's only insulting that you think those words of yours actually hurt" I lied to him, it had affected me and I hated how it did.

"Why couldn't you just of stayed away like you did last week?" He snapped.

"Oh yes, because your so popular around here, everyone wants you to stay" I retorted. Who knew we would end up like this. I went to walk away as he didn't reply, I turned away, but then I realised, no, he deserved to have a few more home truths his way. I turned back around to face Randy, but I was caught by surprised when instead of being a metre away, he was right behind me, like he was going to stop me from leaving. I stumbled backwards; I didn't expect him to be there. I would have lost my balance if Randy had not reached out to catch me. His right arm wrapped around my waist and supported my back with his other arm.

It was like we had both been pulled into a trance, neither of us made an attempt to move. His arm was still around my waist, I was pulled into his chest, it felt weird being so close together again. Why wasn't he letting go? Why wasn't I pulling away?

I searched his eyes looking for any signs that I should just back off and leave him alone. All I saw was lust looking back at me. He said he used me, the way he is starring back at me; it couldn't be true, he couldn't have meant it. He just couldn't of.

A sound of a crew's cart smashing broke us apart. He turned away from me for a moment, but didn't leave. I didn't know what to do; I just stood there starring at him. It felt like hours when he finally turned back to face me. "Like I said, you should watch where you're going" He mumbled, before taking off leaving me more confused then ever.

Randy's P.O.V

That wasn't supposed to happen. I was just supposed to be a jerk to her and then she could move on. Why did I have to smell her? Why did I have to touch her? Why did I save her from hitting the floor? Why can't I just let go?

She has been on my mind all the time since the wedding. I know I did the right thing, but it doesn't make me feel any different towards her. When she wasn't here last week, I missed her. Part of me was hoping she would turn up at the wedding, but it would have made things harder. I stood outside Legacy's locker room. I took a deep breath; I would have to think about this all later.

Mickie's P.O.V

I finally reached the women's locker room. Only a few divas were in there, but they were the ones I didn't really talk to. They had the monitor was on. I stood in front of it and just watched as Ted and Cody were on the screen. Please don't tell me they are arguing. Cody was telling Ted that if he would have faced Mark Henry, he would be in the elimination chamber. Ted retorts that he is better then Cody.

"Interesting" His voice made what just happened in the corridor replay in my head. Randy appeared on the screen. He faced Ted. "You think you're better than me?" Randy said to him, almost like he was challenging him. They are both in the Elimination Chamber and with all the tension between Cody and Ted, could this be the end of Legacy? I hope not.

"Guess we'll find out at the chamber, won't we?" Ted replied, good response! At least he didn't back down and let Randy walk all over him.

"Maybe, but in the meantime we can put Cody's theory to the test" I groaned at what Randy said. This cannot be good. Randy makes the match that is will be Ted versus John. Great, the very man I hate against my best friend. Randy then tells Cody that he will be facing him. I think this is his revenge about what happened at the Royal Rumble, I hope Cody beats him. I haven't seen Cody yet. His match is next; I will go see him at the gorilla position. I ran to find he was already there.

"Mickie!" He smiled seeing me and brought me into a hug. "I didn't know you were coming back today" I nodded.

"Couldn't stay away forever" I replied.

"You can tell me all about your trip after" He told me kissing my cheek. I had missed my boys! I turned my head to see Randy. My eyes widened and my heart pace became quicker when I realised he was staring right back at me. How long had he been looking? Why had he been starring? Was he confused about what happened in the corridor as much as I was? I starred deep into his eyes wondering what it was that was keeping me from turning away from him.

Cody's music started playing; I gave him one last hug and left him. I ran back to the locker room to watch the match, however I got interrupted.

"Mickie" I heard someone say from behind me. I closed my eyes and turned around. The guy I had managed to avoid so far was standing in front.

"Not now John, I have places to be" I told him, I tried to walk away, but he grabbed my elbows and pulled me into his chest.

"Please just let me explain" He begged. I pushed against his chest, but it didn't look like he was letting me go anytime soon.

"Explain what? Are you going to give me the details on your sex life with my sister?" I snapped at him. He just starred at me for a moment. Before I knew what was going on, he pushed me against the wall, a pair of hands holding my face and a pair of lips smashing upon mine. I tried to back my head up, but the wall was stopping me too. I tried to shrink down, but he arm wrapped around my waist pulling me into him more. The kiss was bruising and it ended quickly. He backed off and just starred like I was going to suddenly jump on him and forgive him what he did.

"Did you think that was going to change anything?" I asked him.

"C'mon baby, it was a mistake, you know I love you" He put his hands on my hips and pulled me into him. Crap, the match. I just pushed him away and ran off not leaving him an excuse to why I had to leave. The bastard had some nerve trying to get me back.

By the time I got to the locker room, both Randy and Cody were in the ring. Throughout the match it was like Randy was going insane, he had the upper hand and was preparing for his finisher when Sheamus sneaked in and distracted him, giving Cody the advantage. Cody performed his finisher and gets the pin. Cody just beat Randy! Our hero Sheamus won Cody the match!

I watched as Sheamus stand in the ring, it was clear he had intentions to hurt Randy; however Cody was not going to let that happen. He slid in the ring with a chair and scared Sheamus off. I ran to meet Cody at the gorilla position. I hugged him for winning the match; I guess Randy had stormed off somewhere.

"I couldn't hurt my hero!" Cody joked to me.

"I understand Cody! I understand!" I told him patting him on the back. He took me back to Legacy's locker room where we were going to watch John versus Ted.

"What's going on between you and Ted" I asked him, eying him suspiciously.

"He said he is better then me" Cody replied, is that it?

"I think I'm better then the two of you put together! You two going to get pissy at me?" Cody gave me an odd look.

"You think your better then me?" He asked, I nodded. "Well how about we put your theory to the test?"

"Please, I wouldn't want to embarrass you" I replied smirking. He cracked his knuckles making me cringe.

"No, no, don't worry about me" He said, I sighed.

"Jeez, I would love to, but I hurt my wrist whilst I was away, I'm just not ready to compete yet" I lied. He smirked.

"How about some time next week?"

"I think I'm busy that day" I replied, his smirk grew wider.

"I haven't said a day yet" I poked my tongue out at him; we then sat down to watch John versus Ted. I hope Ted kicks his ass, the bastard.

Ted was walking down to the ring, taunting the crowd making me laugh. If only they knew the real Ted! John's music played after and he ran down to the ring, stormed in and instantly started attacking Ted. He looked pissed off and when John is like that, there is no chance of winning. He really gave it all to Ted. Ted soon had to tap out to John. John then grabbed a microphone and stood in the ring.

"I'm not going to waste anymore time, Mickie James, come down to the ring" John yelled into the microphone, the crowd started cheering. I starred at the TV with wide eyes. What the hell does he want? No way am I going to go down there. He will just try and manipulate me with crowd. Why couldn't he do this off screen?

"I'm not going any where until you come down here" John said watching up the ramp.

"Are you going to go down?" Cody asked.

"Hell no!" I replied.

"Well it doesn't look like he is going to move anytime soon"

"Too bad!" I grumbled, hopefully they will just think I've left or something. The nerve of John Cena, did he really want me to tell the world how he cheated on me with my sister? Or how he beat me? I don't think so!

Thanks for all the reviews, keep them coming!
Will John give up? Will Randy continue to treat her like shit?
