How Taking Down Legacy Failed
Becky's P.O.V
"What's wrong with you?"
I glanced up at Randy and frowned slightly, "Why would you assume that anything is wrong?"
Randy leant against the wall next to me and smiled, "I'm your big bro. I think I know when something is wrong."
"Well, you obviously wouldn't because nothing is wrong!"
"Rebecca, talk to me!"
"No thanks."
"Why?"
"You're my brother."
"We've always been close and I thought we could talk? Now, tell me what's wrong!"
For a second, I actually considering telling him to see his reaction but then I imagined what he'd say if I told him that I'd be sleeping with Cody and decided against it. I didn't particularly enjoy the idea of scraping Cody's body off the front of Randy's car.
"There's a guy," I decided on instead, "that I like. But he has a girlfriend it.
"Do I know him?"
I cleared my throat and shook my head, "No. I doubt it. He works backstage."
"I see…" Randy looked uncomfortable and I couldn't help feeling satisfied. He had wanted to know, it wasn't my fault that my problem was to do with my personal relationships, which is the only topic that he didn't enjoy talking about.
"And he told me that he likes me too." I decided not to mention that anything had happened between this guy and me. Well. I wouldn't tell him the whole truth. "And we've kissed." And we've done a lot more. I hoped Randy wouldn't notice that I was blushing just thinking about it.
"Is he going to leave his girlfriend?"
"No… I don't think so."
Randy screwed up his face, "Well, do you want my honest opinion?"
"Not really."
Randy tutted, "Well… how do you feel about this guy?"
I thought about it – I thought about how it was when it was just Cody and me – "Well. I like him… a lot."
It was true. Whenever I was with him, I just wanted to spend more time with him. He was like chicken pox. You got a little taste of it and then suddenly, it was all over you and wouldn't leave you alone – and if you tried to get rid of it yourself, you'd end up scarring yourself. It was also highly contagious.
I still wanted to be with him. Even right now, I was fighting every urge not to go and find him and do something that I regretted.
"Do you love him?"
I continued thinking before shaking my head slightly, "No but I know that I could."
It was way too soon to even be thinking about loving Cody but I knew that if we continued whatever our 'thing' was, I could fall in love with him. And that'd be either worse. I had to kill it dead before I got too hurt.
Randy bit his lip uncertainly before saying, "Well, if a guy cares about you, then he should make your relationship clear. It's not fair to mess someone around… you deserve to have a guy who cares about you." He grinned supportively.
"Thanks…" I said, "but it isn't that simple, is it?"
Randy looked at me for a moment, his gaze burning into mine, "No… its not."
Mickie's P.O.V
"That is the last time I'm letting you drive!" Ted yelled as we walked into our group locker room. "Shouldn't be allowed on the road!"
"Me? You're the one who shouldn't be allowed in a car, this boy" I pointed to Ted in front of all Cody, Randy and Becky who looked to be enjoying our argument. "has some serious road rage, he was yelling at every car we went past and that's distracting!"
"Women should not be allowed to drive, that's all I'm saying" I glared at him and threw an empty water bottle at the back of his head, he froze and turned around. "Was that really necessary?"
"Is your face really necessary?" I retorted crossing my arms.
"Ooooo she went there" Cody gasped; I smirked at him and back at Ted.
"You don't want to get into this baby"
"Oh, I think I do" Ted looked at me unserious, I raised my eyes brows as if I was challenging him, he scoffed and stretched out his fingers.
"That's my girl you are potentially insulting" Randy got up and wrapped his arm around me.
"You call that a girl?" Ted grinned at Randy, hey! This was suppose to be a fight between me and Ted! Not Ted and Randy!
"That's my boy!" Cody came and put his arm around Ted's shoulder.
"But you're a boy?"
"Yeah no shit" Ted and Cody then high fived, we were loosing! We need to give it right back to them! Becky just looked so into this and wanted to watch more of the fight.
"*Strangles Ted*" I didn't know what else to say and I love doing this with Ted, Cody and Randy gave me an old look, but Ted just smirked.
"*Cracks open a beer* Sup" Ted replied.
Everyone else sighed. "Disappointed" Becky muttered, they all sat back down accept for me and Ted.
"So how is the waitress?" I asked Ted, trying my hardest not to laugh or grin.
"Yeah, I kept looking at her in a certain way at the restaurant, she must of found it sexy" Ted replied smugly, stroking his chin.
"In a 'damn I wish I was straight way?'"
"Haha, you're so funny" Ted said sarcastically. "It was in a, 'Wow, this girl is really hot and I want to fuck her way"
"Or was it a 'Wow this girl looks like Cody, I want to fuck her" I teased, Cody looked over at us in disgust, Ted jokily winked at him, Cody shuddered and turned away. Ted turned back to me pouting.
"My life is..." Ted got up, but suddenly he froze and had a pained look on his face. "You know what, fuck. Fuck everyone, fuck everything, fuck wrestling, fuck love, fuck my fucking toe and fuck everyone" Ted cursed holding on his foot, I hate it when you stub your foot, it's painful!
"How about fuck off?" Becky screamed at Ted before going back to her conversation with Cody.
"Rebecca!" Randy gasped and narrows his brows.
"You swear all the time!" She said jumping to her own defence.
"When did I swear?" Randy crossed his arms and faced her.
"You told Cody on the way over here that the skirt Mickie was wearing gave you an instant boner"
"That's not swearing…" Randy pointed out.
"Let me finish, dumbass, and how you wanted to fuck her in the back seat" I could feel myself going red, why oh why did she have to say that?
"How did you...but you had your ipod on!"
"I'm as disturbed as you are!" She replied shuddering again. "I'm sorry you had to hear that" Becky said to me. Well, this is not awkward at all!
Becky's P.O.V
"Look at this!" I gasped, I was hanging out with Mickie in the girl's locker room and there was no one else around.
Mickie took it out of my hands and her eyes practically bulged out of her sockets, "Holy crap! I never knew that Ted was so dirty."
I frowned, "Ted is pretty dirty."
"Yeah I know but I didn't know that he was this dirty! That would be too much for a porno!"
I sniggered before holding the phone out, "How am I supposed to respond to that?"
"Just tell him that you're going commando." Mickie suggested.
I sent that to him and Ted replied almost instantly.
"Me too!" I shrieked, "He said 'me too'!"
"He isn't wearing any underwear? I could have so much some fun with that…"
"You can't let him know!"
"I know, I know, but I can still wish." Mickie said wistfully, "Say 'maybe sometime we can go commando together' and then put a wink."
I chuckled and did as she instructed.
"We should probably be getting back." I said regretfully.
The two of us nodded and made our way outside and after only taking a few steps, we spotted Ted.
"Ladies," he smirked.
Mickie and I both froze and I knew we were both thinking about how he wasn't wearing any underwear – or maybe he had just said that to impress 'Chloe'.
"Hello." I said in a strange voice.
"What have you two been doing? You look…"
"We're fine." Mickie and I walked past him but Ted slipped in front of Mickie and gave us both curious looks.
"What's going on?"
"Nothing!" I insisted and the two of us slipped past him.
"Ted." Mickie called when we reached the end of the corridor.
"Yes, baby?" Ted asked, turning to face us but walking backwards.
"Nice legs, when do they open?" She asked with a straight face.
The two of us exploded with laughter and rushed away before he even had time to register what she would had said.
Sam's P.O.V
I waited at the table for John to come and visit me. It was another part of our deal, along with looking after Alana, he had to come back often to visit me and give me updates. I can't believe I've been torn apart from my baby, along with that Randy is with Mickie and he is divorcing me. There have been times when I have been close to shedding off all the blame, but I know that won't get me out of here quicker, that will just leave Alana dadless. I wouldn't punish my baby for my mistakes. I didn't even know if John was being a good dad to her, does he even know how to be a dad? What happens when he is on the road? Who takes care of her? I saw him; he pulled up a chair and sat opposite me.
"Sam" He nodded his head.
"John" I replied simply the same way he had. "How's Alana?"
"She's good"
"John, I'm her mother, I'm going to need more than just she's good" I growled at him, he rolled his eyes as if I was the one over reacting. "Did you bring the photos?" He nodded and reached into his pocket. He pulled our small size photo of my beautiful daughter. "Can I keep these?" I asked him, he once again just nodded. "I don't get much company in here John so you could at least talk"
"Got nothing to say really" He leaned back and had a look on his face which showed he didn't want to be here.
"You seemed to like my company before" I hissed. "I take it Mickie and Randy are still together"
"Yep"
"You ok with that?"
"Nope"
"John" I snapped. "What is your fucking problem?"
"You messed it all up" He muttered, I leaned closer to check that I actually heard him correctly, he was blaming me? Was he actually being serious? "You must have let something slip to Randy or…"
"Oh just get the fuck over it John, I don't even know what we were thinking, Mickie never wanted you, that was obvious from day 1" It was about time someone gave him a reality check. I don't even know what I was hoping for when we took her, I just wanted her away from my husband, my family. I didn't care about the details I just wanted her gone. "I'm surprised you haven't done anything lately to her"
"I've had to keep my distance" He told me. "Even though I'm not being charged, they are keeping their eye on me"
"Oh yes, you have got it so tough" I mocked him. "How's Liz? You kept her a secret"
"Yeah" He smirked. "She covered for me, she doesn't believe I'd do such a thing, all I had to do was tell her I was alone so I had no witnessed, the rest was easy"
"I don't get it, how long have you been with Liz?"
"It's not like I've been with her, it's been going on for two years, but she is more of a back up plan if you get me"
"Does she know that?" I asked him
"Don't be silly" He laughed. "I'm just surprised she hasn't caught on yet, she is adapting to motherhood pretty well"
"She knows about Alana? But then you would have had to admit to her that you cheated" I pointed out, I was so confused, why was this Liz girl with him?
"Nah, I told her you were my friend so I don't my…"
"Yeah, yeah" I cut him off. "Is she thick?"
John shrugged. "She's hot" I rolled my eyes at him. "Look if we're finished here I have places to be"
"Wait!" I stopped him from getting up. "Please, I need someone to talk to in here or I will go mad" I pleaded with him.
"Not my problem" He shrugged and left me.
Mickie's P.O.V
"You picked the Undertaker!" I got up to greet Randy, I put my hands on his chest and tip toed to kiss him, he put his hand on my lower back and returned the kiss. He was wearing his trunks and his Orton T-shirt, hot!
"Yep" He grinned.
"Gross" Ted commented from the couch.
"Noob styley" I stuck my tongue at him. Ted looked confused at my insult.
"What is that? How come I don't know it?" He stood up and reached out to me.
I looked at his hand in disgust. "You don't know?" I said as if it was the most shocking thing I had ever seen.
"Randy! What is a noob styley?" Randy who hadn't been paying attention look at me over Ted's shoulder, I gestured for him to go along with it.
"Dude, seriously you don't know?"
"No dude! I don't know! It's not a word! You have to be lying, I know insults and that wasn't one!" Ted looked like he was about to go mad. "Lies! Lies! Lies!" He ran out of the room.
"That's why you're my boyfriend" I smiled and put my hands on Randy's shoulder.
"What is a noob styley?" He asked me.
"I have no idea"
"You're evil" He smirked.
"I know" I returned with a smirk of my own. Just as Randy was going to lean down for a kiss, the door slammed open revealing Ted, he shoved a dictionary into my hand.
"There is no noob styley!"
"Have you tried the thesaurus?" I asked him, trying to keep my grin on the download. He walked out again. "Oh I do love him" I told Randy. Ted walks back and threw the thesaurus on the floor.
"NO!"
"Shush Noob-styley! Keep it down!"
"I hate my life!" Ted fell to the ground fake crying. Suddenly he stood up and smiled at me. "Watch my match!" He then walked out.
"Oh god, please don't tell me he is going to do something Noob-styley related" Randy groaned.
"Ha, that sounds pretty funny, Noob-styley related" I laughed to myself; I then sat down and put on Ted's match like he had asked. His music hits, now what was so…wait a minute…
"That bastard" I growled.
"He found his own Virgil!" Randy chuckled. "What's wrong?"
"I applied for the position of being his virgil" I replied, I turned to see he was laughing at me. "Hey! I can be a virgil! How could he do this! Unacceptable! What a noob-styley"
"If it helps, I would have hired you as my virgil" Randy said as he adjusted himself to laying down, before tugging on my waist to join him.
"Really?"
"HA no, are you kidding?" I smacked him. "Oh c'mon babe" Randy tried to pull me back to him as I sat up.
"No" I stuck my tongue out at him. "You're just as bad as Ted, what does Virgil have that I don't?"
"Balls" He sniggered.
"And I don't?" I asked him, he just shook his head. "So you and Cody had an interesting conversation earlier…"
"I knew you were going to bring that up"
"Well, it's not your everyday conversation and…your sister was in the backseat" I gave him a look of disapproval. He stood up and entwined his hands with mine.
"We were just have guy talk and I thought she was listening to her ipod" He mumbled looking down at my hands. "Besides, most girls would feel reassured by this" He grinned at me teasingly.
"I was reassured back when I stole your Bentley and you didn't break up with me, now that's what commitment is"
"So stealing my Bentley was all a test?"
"Yes, let's go with that"
"Yes, let's" He smiled, pulling me closer. "So I passed your test"
"Hello!" Ted said as he burst through the door, I let go of Randy's hands and walked up to him. "Hey baby" I slapped him. "OW! That hurt!" He stuck his bottom lip up. "I'm telling"
"I want to be your virgil!"
"Yeah well I want to take over Canada, but we can't always get what we want can we?" Ted told me, patting my back.
"I asked first!" I whined. "Canada? Why Canada?"
"I don't know" He shrugged. "Just want to take over"
"I want to be your virgil!" I went back to our original conversation. "Randy tell him"
"I'm watching the divas match, shush noob-styley" He turned his head slightly to grin at me. He used my insult! Well!
"Well it's settled then!" Ted grinned, I glared.
"You used to be a cool man, you've changed" I shook my head at him, I turned away, but then I turned back to face him. "Actually, you were never cool"
"Virgil" Ted called, his virgil walked through the door.
"Up top Virgil" I held up my hand for a high five, he gave me one to my surprise! I was just kidding, but I think I like this Virgil! "My main man, fist bump" He gave me that too! "Lots of respect for you right now, keep up the good work!" I sat down next to Randy. "I like him!"
"You wanted his job a few moments ago"
"That is before I met him, C'mon lets go to the gorilla position, we may be able to see Edge's poison pick" I grabbed Randy's hand and went to the gorilla position, Edge wasn't there.
"Wait here a moment" Randy told me and walked away. I stood there humming to myself when I heard a cough from behind me, I turned around to see…Jackie!
"Jacki…I mean Jack" I corrected myself from referring to him by my nickname.
"What is a beautiful lady like yourself doing out here alone?" He asked me with his lisp shining through, he brought my hand up to his lips.
"Well Jack, I was just…"
"Waiting for me" I heard an angry voice say, I looked to my side to see Randy glaring at Jack. I guess the jokes I made the other day about my love for Jack Swagger did not help this situation. "Take your speech impediment elsewhere"
"I do not have a speech impediment" Jack said sternly.
"Ah Randy, I see you've meant my pick your poison" Edge drawled coming up from behind Jack. Randy glared darkly at him. Edge then switched his gaze from Randy to me, a smirk spread on his face. Randy tugged on my hand to pull me back, but I wanted to show Edge I wasn't afraid of him. "Are you going to be out there too? I wouldn't want you to accidentally get oh I don't know SPEARED"
"Your spear is no match for my finisher" I told him confidently, he laughed and cocked up an eye brow.
"Mickie don't" Randy whispered into my ear. "I don't want you getting hurt"
"And what is that?" Edge asked me, crossing his arms and giving me a look that showed he was amused. So I showed him, I pinched him, he sharply pulled his arm away from me and starred at him, confused and shocked at what I just did. Edge stepped forward to get closer to me, but Randy roughly shoved me behind him and went face to face, this lasted awhile, neither men wanted to back down.
"Randy, your music is playing" I muttered to him.
"Go back to the locker room ok? Find Ted" He sent one more glare to monitors near the gorilla position, I wanted to be there when Randy had finished his match. Edge and left. Edge left and Jack went to his match with Randy. Instead of going back to the locker, I watched one of the
Randy dominates Jack Swagger in the match, it was about to end with Randy turning into the viper when the monitor changed. Randy looked up at the monitor and the camera zoomed on it. It was me…standing there watching the monitor…What the hell? In the background I saw Edge line me up for the spear. What a dumbass, I can see what he is about to do, I didn't turn around. Randy tried to climb out the ring, but Jack grabs him and forces him to watch. Right, I must plan this out.
I slowly turned around and Edge charged right at me, but because I knew he was there, I jumped out the way and he crashed into the wall. I laughed and went over and…
I pinched him.
"Haha noob styley" I commented at the camera gesturing to Edge who was laying on the floor in pain.
I walked away feeling satisfied.
Becky's P.O.V
"Your boyfriend is back."
I glanced at Jude before craning my head around and saw Cody standing in the doorway. Talk about déjà vu.
"Becky." Cody said simply, it was the first thing he had said anything since our argument or 'break up', "Can we talk?"
"Busy." I said simply, turning back to the computer screens, "It looks too airbrushed, I'd lower the tone a little."
Jude tutted, "Bex…"
"What?"
"Becky!" Cody also pleaded.
"I'm working."
"Becky." Jude sighed. Gee, everyone was saying my name, "Give the guy a break."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Bex, you just told me that the divas looked too airbrushed… we finished that conversation ten minutes ago." Jude turned to Cody, "In fact, we were just swapping gossip. We've finished work."
Cody looked half-amused, "Mind if I steal her?"
"Go ahead." Jude gave me a little shove, "Go on, Rebecca."
I gave him a filthy look and then made the mistake of looking Cody's face and then the either worse mistake of looking into his eyes.
Aw, that's not fair.
"Please?" He begged.
"See you soon, Bex." Jude sniggered knowingly.
I hated him. I wanted to quit. No of course I didn't, this was the best job I ever had but I was not impressed. I reluctantly followed Cody out of the room and unenthusiastically walked alongside him to somewhere within the stadium. It had finished not that long ago and I could still hear fans leaving outside.
"What do you want?" I asked flatly.
"Can we at least talk about this? I mean, I know we were pretty pissed before but I want us to talk about this like adults."
He sounded strangely reasonable.
"There's nothing to talk about." I insisted, "We had some stupid affair and now its over."
"I don't think its some stupid affair," Cody said irritably, "I don't want this thing between us to end."
I laughed in disbelief, "This 'thing'? I'm sorry but I'm not okay with being your little… I don't know, mistress!"
There was silence for a moment before Cody glanced at me, "I'm going to become an NXT pro."
The change of subject surprised me slightly, "Err… well done."
"Don't you think that deserves some… congratulations sex?"
I looked at him before laughter escaped from my lips. I couldn't resist it. That was just too funny for me.
"You are such a jerk!" I said in mock-anger but I couldn't help grinning.
"I want to break up with Ashley. I'm going to break up with Ashley." Cody told me, steering the conversation back, "I don't want to be with her anymore but it's not the right time to end it, okay? Can we please just continue this until I can do it?"
I laughed in disbelief, "Why should I?"
"Because…" Cody said slowly but didn't finish.
"Because?"
Suddenly he shoved me against the wall and I felt his lips, very seriously, brush over my cheek, my jaw line and my neck.
He then kissed me delicately before meeting my gaze, "Because it's incredible when we're together."
Damn that Cody Rhodes. Damn him to hell.
Naturally, we went somewhere a little more private and made up for loss time, like the stupid playboy he was and the stupid slut that I was.
I hated myself but I didn't really care at that moment.
Barely anytime had passed since we had been together but I had missed him in that short space. It was pathetic but I didn't care.
And for the record, I had never done anything in a public place before this.
And, when the door opened, I knew why.
"Hey g-"
Mickie froze, her mouth silently mouthing the words that she had been going to say but they seemed to have been literally taken from her.
There was nothing but complete shock on her face… and perhaps a touch of anger.
Our secret was out.
Oh Edge -.-
What will be Mickie's response to Cody and Becky?
Decided to check in with Sam
Thanks for the reviews, keep them coming!
