How Taking Down Legacy Failed

I just stood there, Becky was fully covered by the covers, but I was fortunate to see Cody junior. So, I had seen Randy's, Ted's and now Cody's! Both just starred at him in shock at being discovered. My head literally hurt, I didn't know what to say or do.

"Mickie! Buddy!" Cody got up and walked towards me.

"Aren't you going to…" I couldn't even finish my sentence, I just pointed to his underwear.

"What? I have nothing to hide" He told me smugly.

"You sound just like Ted!"

"You've seen Ted's?" Cody asked me looking confused.

"I have a habit of walking in on people" I shrugged then I shook my head. "Let's not change the subject! What the hell is going on here!"

"Happy Birthday?" Becky spoke up, putting on a cheesy smile.

"It's not my birthday" I retorted.

"It's not? Oh man, Ted is in trouble, he told me it was! I should go and yell at him right now! How dare he try and pretend it's your birthday when its not! I'm way past angry now" Cody tried to get past me, but I pulled him back.

"You're going to go out naked?" Cody turned to look at Becky who was burying her face in her hands. "Oh Cody, what have you got yourself into? I never expected you to cheat"

"C'mon Mickie, you slept with a married man! You cheated on John" Cody pointed out, god I wish he wouldn't of brought that up.

"Then you should know from my experience how messy things can get!" I argued. "Besides, John and me were wrong, he just wanted someone to sleep with, I thought you really cared about Ashley"

"I do!" Cody protested.

"Yeah, shows" I scoffed. "Randy is going to go crazy"

"You can't tell him!" Becky said with a look of horror on her face. "He will kill Cody, he will never understand, you know how protective he gets and not even you will be able to calm him down"

"I can't lie to him! Not about something this big" I told her, how could she expect me to keep this to myself? If she was my sister, I would want to know about it.

"Mickie, you can't tell him" Cody said to me softly. "It will just cause a load of problems"

"Maybe he will be cool with it" My voice did not sound like I was even convinced.

"You saw how he reacted with Ted" Becky pointed out, I winced. "He won't drop it, he will make sure I never seen Cody again"

"What is the harm in not telling him?" Cody asked me.

"Because he will find out eventually! I mean, you guys don't lock your doors for a starter" I glared at them, this whole mess could have been prevented if they would of just locked it! "And wouldn't you want to know if it was your sister Cody?"

"I don't have a sister"

"That's not the point"

"Well yeah it was, you said if it was my sister, I don't have one"

"I meant like think about it, if you did…"

"But I don't"

"Just pretend you do"

"Pretending doesn't make it real"

"Cody!"

"What? I can't just make up a sister!"

I slapped my forehead. "Right, let's start over, say if you did have one…"

"We've been through this, I don't"

"I give up" I threw my hands in the air. "Cody Garrett Rhodes, what am I going to do with you?" I mumbled. Do I tell Randy? Do I keep it to myself? What the hell am I suppose to do? I wish I never walked in on them and that I was in the dark. "Why are you doing this? To Ashley? To Becky?"

"Look I'm a man, I have needs" I cringed at Cody when he said that.

"So that's it, is it?" We both turned out heads to Becky who was now dressed. "I'm just a need? Something to do whilst Ashley is away?"

"No, Becky, I didn't mean it like that!" Cody rushed over to her, I stood there awkwardly, I can't help, but think that was my fault.

"What else could that mean?" She pushed him away and walked up to me. "You don't need to tell Randy because it's over anyway" Her voice broke as she spoke, she looked over at Cody once more and walked out. Cody groaned and jumped onto his bed.

"Cody, I know your going through a rough moment, but please put some clothes on" I tried to look away, but I'm a woman…I have needs to!

"If I put some clothes on, will you stay with me? I really don't want to be alone right now" My heart actually went out to him, the look on his face showed that he really did care about Becky. Thing is, I think he really cares about Ashley too.

"Ok Codykins" I told him. "I'll stay" He put his boxers on and leaned back with his face in his hands.

"This is such a mess" He groaned. "Randy is going to kill me"

I sighed. "I won't tell him"

"Come again?"

"I said I won't tell him" I almost regretted it as soon as I said it.

"What changed your mind?"

"Well I can see you and Becky are hurting anyway, I don't want to add to that and what Randy doesn't know won't hurt him" I knew what I said was wrong, but Cody was one of my best friends, how could I do it to him?

"Thanks Mickie" I nodded in response. "I just don't know what to do, I mean really care about Ashley, but I really like Becky as well. Everything has changed since she thought she was pregnant"

"She wasn't though" I pointed out.

"I know, but the way I reacted, it's like being with Ashley suddenly didn't feel right anymore"

"Maybe the thought of being with her forever just doesn't click in your mind"

"Maybe" He muttered. "What should I do?"

"I think you need to end it, with one of them, it's not fair to Becky, Ashley or you" I felt like the wise one. It felt good to be giving someone else relationship advice instead of asking for my own.

"I know your right" He laid back down and just starred up at the ceiling. "I guess tonight I have some serious thinking to do" He sighed and scratched the back of his head. "I miss you, you know"

"What?" I asked him, smiling slightly.

".you" He laughed. "A lot has changed in the past few months, there are more of us and sometimes we don't spend enough time together"

"Oh Cody, I miss you too" I threw my arms around him. "Wait, this is a plan to kiss up so that I won't tell Randy is it?" He shook his head. "Good!" I went back to hugging him. "I know things have been crazy, don't get me wrong, I love Randy and I love being with him, but there are times when I miss it just being you, me and Ted, no complications"

"Got that right" Cody chuckled. "We had some good times didn't we"

"We did" I nodded in agreement. "One day, you me and Ted will just go out, just us three, like old times"

"I'd like that" He smiled. "Don't get me wrong, I love how my life is going right now, I love that your happy with Randy and Becky has been distracting me too so I'm not saying it's your fault, I just get thinking about it sometimes, the past"

"I know Codykins, I know"

I left him on that note. Cody wasn't a bad guy and I knew he didn't like cheating, but you could obviously see how torn he was.

I went back to the locker and found Randy packing his bag. "You ready to go?" I nodded and waited by the door. "Are you ok?" He asked me chuckling, I bit at my lip. I hadn't even spoken and he already knew something was up. Keep cool Mickie, keep cool…you don't want him figure out about Cody and Becky….You need to say something, say something!

"I'm fine" I squeaked out. Oh yeah, very smooth. He looked suspicious. "Never better" I nodded my head a lot. "Everything is A-ok!"

"Alright, game over, what's happened?" He dropped the door and moved towards me.

"Nothing has happened!" I laughed a little bit too loudly. "Why would you think something has happened?

"Mickie" His voice said sternly.

"Look there is nothing…"

"Don't worry Mickie, I will tell him" I turned to the door, Ted was there, Ted? What the hell did he know? Did he know about Becky and Cody too? Oh shit, he wasn't going to tell him was he? Ted pushed me back a bit, Randy looked at us both curiously. "You see Randy, what is wrong with Mickie, that she is embarrassed to say is that…" My shoulders went up and I closed my eyes as if waiting an impact. "Me and Mickie well…" He put an arm around me, ok seriously what was he doing? "We had a dance off over Skype and I beat her" I opened my eyes and looked strangely at Ted and then back at Randy.

"You you…swore you would never tell" I faked gasped at Ted. "I lost to a noob-styley" I pretended to cry. "My life is over"

"I thought you were going to tell me something else then" Randy sighed with relief. "Babe, you won in my mind"

"She still lost" Ted pointed out.

"I'm trying to make her feel better"

"How could she feel better when she knows she's a LOSER"

"Yeah, but if we encourage her…"

"She will still end up a LOSER, don't get her hopes up"

"Just pretend…."

"Pretending doesn't make it real" Ted retorted. "Haha Who is the noob-styley now?" He laughed at me.

"You and Cody have got to spend less time together" I butted in on their debate. "I basically had this same conversation with him earlier, my head hurts"

"Alright guys, I'm just going to see if Becky has got a lift and then I will be back" He told us, he leaned over and gave me a kiss. "See you in a minute" He smiled at me, I wanted to swoon. I waited till he had left before I turned to Ted.

"Thanks for covering" I told him hugging him.

"No biggie, you just owe me"

"Owe you what?"

"Well I have always wanted to have a dance off over skype" He stroked his chin and grinned at me.

"It's a deal" I stuck out my hand which he gladly shook.

"So what were you hiding from him?" Ted asked me suspiciously. I paled.

"Nothing" I squeaked, I have never notice my voice to go high when I'm hiding something. People should not trust me with secrets.

"Baby" His voice said sternly.

"Theodore slash noob-styley" I replied smiling innocently.

Becky's P.O.V

"Look I'm a man, I have needs."

The words rang through my ears over and over again.

I couldn't believe that I had been so stupid. Just when I thought that he really cared, I find out the truth. I was just his little plaything whilst Ashley was away.

"Becky."

The voice made me practically jump out of my skin and I spun around to see Randy staring there. I had been half-scared and, admittedly, half-hoping that it would be Cody. I'm disgusted myself.

"What?" I winced as the word came out as a snarl. I didn't want Randy to know that anything was wrong.

Randy blinked and looked a little taken-aback by my vicious tone.

"Err, sorry are you busy or something?"

"Do you see me doing anything? Err, no." I snapped bitterly and then instantly regretted it. This was what anger did to me. I became a sarcastic, stupid idiot.

Randy looked absolutely stunned. I could be grumpy – everyone could – but I hadn't been grumpy with him specifically since we were teenagers.

"What's the matter, Bex?" Randy demanded.

"Nothing!"

Randy suddenly looked even more downhearted, "Why are the women that I'm closest with in a bad mood today? What have I done, Becky? What. Have. I. Done?"

What the heck was he talking about? Mickie was in a bad mood with him?

"What do you mean?"

"Mickie's being strange," he explained, "she's all jumpy and her voice went all squeaky and she's not telling me something! She's in a bad mood with me."

Brilliant. Because I had been a delusional idiot, I had caused a rift in my brother's relationship. Just another stupid mistake, eh, Becky?

Of course Mickie wasn't in a bad mood with him – she just had a whooping great secret to keep from the guy who she was madly in love with.

"You were probably just imagining it." I tried to dismiss in an offhand voice, "Mickie loves you. Remember that… and don't take it for granted."

"Look I'm a man, I have needs."

Randy squinted at me, noticing the way that my forced smile had dropped.

"Becky… what's wrong?" He asked softly.

I bit my lip and turned to him. I was going to blurt it out, I knew it.

"You know the guy? Well, he decided that I wasn't the one that he wanted."

Well, at least I didn't tell him the whole truth.

Randy widened his eyes, "I'll go and beat the shit out of him, if you like."

I grinned, "No thanks." Admittedly, I was sorely tempted.

"What did he say?"

I bit my lip and repeated the words that were haunting me, for a moment they felt like they were stuck in my throat but I finally managed to say them, "I'm a man, I have needs." My voice was quiet, which meant that Randy knew that I was upset.

Randy's mouth dropped open, "Who the fuck is he? I'll go and make sure he never walks again! That little bastard! How dare he say that to my sister? Who the hell is it, Bex? I'm gonna go and fucking kill him!"

I couldn't help laughing at him.

"Thanks but it's okay. I'd rather know now than in a couple of months when I've fallen too deep."

Randy nodded understanding and gently patted my shoulder, "Hey, I came down here to see if you need a ride…"

"I've got one. I'm going with Jude."

"Jude… you know, he's a pretty nice guy…"

"He's gay, Randy."

"Which means he's perfect!"

I grinned and left Randy. I peered around the corner to check that no one – well, Cody – was there, seeing that it was empty; I made my way down it.

Just as I was about to reach the door, another door opened and someone stepped out, crashing into me in the process.

"Watch where you're going for fuck sake!" The person yelled.

"Ouch." I was too busy rubbing my arm to even notice the person yelling. They were strong and I could already feel a bruise forming.

"Look why don't you…" The voice trailed off.

I glanced up, not recognizing the voice and then automatically smiled. The guy looked kind of familiar but was absolutely gorgeous.

"Sorry." I muttered, feeling like a little girl with her hand in the cookie jar.

"That's okay." The guy grinned and held out a hand politely, "I'm John Cena."

I grinned and shook his hand, "Becky Orton."

"I thought you looked familiar." John Cena smirked, a strange twinkled in his eyes, "You're good friends with Mickie James aren't you?"

I smiled fondly, "Yep." Mickie and I had gotten on automatically but after the whole Ted and texts things, we had bonded even more. The whole 'Ted-Chloe' thing was still going on and Ted's were getting dirtier and dirtier and Mickie always came up with excellent responses.

"I used to date her you know," he clarified, "still… as long as she's happy now." Something flashed in his eyes for a moment.

I was a little confused but smiled politely, "Yeah she is. Really happy."

"Dating your brother, isn't she?"

"Err… yeah."

"Interesting…" John glanced down at his feet before grinning at me. Mm, he had a great smile, "So, you're working for the WWE, I hear?"

"Yeah, I'm a photographer," I shrugged, "Actually, I should probably get going…"

John threw an arm around my shoulder and, for some reason; I got a feeling in the back of my mind that he could squash me like a bug. How odd.

"Of course but maybe sometime we can hang out." He suggested innocently, "I sure know that I'd like to get to know you better."

I blinked at him, almost feeling dazed, "S-sure. I'd like that."

"Good," John winked and then gave me a small nod; "I guess I'll be seeing you around then, Becky… bye." He gave me one more smirk before walking off in the direction that I had just come from.

Cody Rhodes? Pfft, who needs him?

Mickie's P.O.V

"I'm sorry" Randy blurted out, I starred at him confused, why was he sorry?

"What?" I chuckled at him.

"Well, when a girl seems mad at you, they say apologising is the best thing to can do" He thought I was mad at him? Well that made me feel worse then I already do.

"Randy" I dropped what I was holding and wrapped my arms around his waist and leaned into his chest. "I'm not angry at you! Why would you think that?"

"You were quiet in the car and you have been acting weird, you aren't mad at me?"

"Of course not! You haven't done anything…or have you?" I teased, he pretended to look guilty.

"So if I haven't done anything, why have you been acting funny?" He asked me.

"I just have a lot on my mind"

"And that is…."

"It doesn't matter"

"Yes it does" Randy protested. "I want to know what upsets you because I want to make you happy"

"You already make me happy" I tried to reassure him.

"Please" I hated it when he did that, I felt like another stone had been added to my guilt. I thought for a moment, trying to think of a story to come up with.

"Alright, sit down" I told him, he pulled me down to sit next to him. "Well, Ted's brother was here the other day" I lied.

"He was? I didn't see him"

"Yeah, but not for long" Ok where was I going with this? Think Mickie! Oh I know! "And I caught him with err Alicia Fox and Ted and Alicia Fox are quite good friends"

"They are friends? I thought he hated her?" Randy asked me utterly confused. Truth is, he did hate her, he had gone on a rant about how much the other day, why the hell did I choose her? Out of all people!

"Err they made up and now are good friends, I walked in on them…"

"Oh" Randy said catching on.

"Yeah" I scratched the back of my head awkwardly. "And I don't know whether to tell Ted or not because he does have a right to know…but I don't want to ruin" I paused. "His and Alicia friendship as I know how angry he would"

"Ah, you are in an awkward position there" Randy said, if only he knew. "I mean, I would want to know if it was Becky" I was afraid to hear that. "But on the other hand things it will hurt a lot of people" I nodded at him in agreement. "Are they going to do it again?"

"I'm not sure, he said something the offended her and she walked out and said it was over so…"

"Hmm"

"Yeah…and Brett has a girlfriend"

"Oh that's bad"

"And Brett isn't a bad guy, he really likes…Alicia" I forced myself to say, this whole replacing the names was confusing the hell of me.

"Well then maybe you shouldn't tell Ted, maybe stay out of it?" Randy suggested, I sighed with relief, I was hoping he would say that.

"I'm scared Ted will find out and hate me for not telling him"

"Ted would never hate you"

"Thanks Randy" I sat on his lap and smiled at him. I felt at rest now.

"If you do need to talk, don't feel like you have to keep it from me, I want to know" He kissed my forehead.

"Ok, I'm sorry"

"Now that's over with…" He then poked me and grinned.

"Did you just poke me?"

"Aww well DONE! Noob styley, you clever girl" He patted my head. "Patronising behaviour hurts, DOESN'T IT." I starred at Randy in shock, oh now that's how he wants to play it, is it?

"I'm bruised from your pokes" I told him pointing to the smallest bruise I could find on my body which wasn't even from him.

"Drama queen" Randy taunted.

"With good reason" I retorted.

"Whatever" He crossed his arms and pretended to be mad.

"Yeah, you best feel remorseful bitch" I told him.

"I don't" Randy replied grinning at me and pushed me off his lap. I starred at him from the floor.

"Well then, your clearly a bad person"

"Not bad" Randy shook his head. "Misunderstood"

"Denial isn't an attractive quality noob styley" I said getting up and brushing myself down.

"Nor is stupidity"

"You're in denial and you're stupid" I replied, I then smirked when he had nothing back to say. "Things just aren't working out for you are they noob styley" I grabbed my phone and walked out smirking. I dialled Ted's number.

"Baby!"

"Hey Teddy, I need a favour"

"Oh I knew there was a catch"

"You're a catch"

"Oh you charmer"

"Your good looking?"

"I know, I should be arrested for being this handsome. You got me, what do you need?"

"I need you to go along with something…"

Becky's P.O.V

"Becky, we are going to a nightclub tomorrow!"

I glanced up at Mickie, "Are you… serious?"

"Yeah!"

"Aren't we… well, you a little old?"

Mickie looked insulted, "No, we are not!" She then lowered her voice, looking serious, "How are you?"

I knew what she was referring to, so just shrugged, "Fine, Mickie. I don't really want to talk about."

"But-"

"I forwarded Ted's reply to you," I cut her off, "I don't know what to say back but I'm sure you'll come up with something interesting!"

"Becky-"

"I'm just going to go to the toilet!" I lied, slipping past her and quickly rushing off.

Just as I was about to go to the toilet, I spotted John Cena and wondered if it would be inappropriate to greet him, however, he spotted me back and smiled, "Hey."

"Hi John." I hoped my voice was cool and collect (unlikely).

"Listen, I know this is a little brash considering that we just met but I was wondering if you'd like to do something tomorrow night?" John asked innocently.

I was about to say 'no we just met' when Cody's face popped into my mind.

"Err, actually, I'm going out with some friends tomorrow. A club." I rolled my eyes.

"Which friends?" John asked casually.

"Mickie, Randy, Ted… probably Cody." I said through gritted teeth at the last name.

John nodded, his face expressionless, "Which club are you going to? Maybe I'll see you there…"

I reeled off the name of the club that Mickie had said to me earlier and John nodded.

"So, then I guess I'll see you there…"

"Yeah." John smiled, that strange twinkle in his eye yet again, "I'll see you tomorrow night, Becky."

He turned around and walked off and I stared after him for a moment, wondering why there was a bad feeling in the bottom of my stomach.

I'm in love with the next chapter, I think it's one of my favourites!
