How Taking Down Legacy Failed

Mickie's P.O.V

I remembered everything from last night, although I wish I didn't. From joking around with Ted, to trying to get off with Justin, to nearly getting off with Wade to Randy saving me then getting off with Randy. The only good part about the whole thing is that I didn't wake up with a hangover! I got dressed and went out to get my breakfast. Ted, Melina, Cody, Becky and Randy were in the lounge when I walked in. "Ah she's up" Melina said.

"Hangover?" Cody sniggered.

"Actually, surprisingly no" I replied, getting a bowl of cereal from the kitchen.

"Lucky bitch" I heard Ted mumble.

"Alright Theodore? Or should I say Tony" I grinned.

Ted's eyes widened. "That's really strange you should get that….I went down to get some coffee this morning and about five people passed me saying 'hey Tony! Recovered from last night Tony? You rock Tony'" I sniggered at this. "Who the hell is Tony?"

"You thought it was your name" I told him. "You went around telling people it was your name"

"Why would I tell people that!"

"Because you're an idiot" Becky said to him.

Ted ignored her. "Do you remember anything from last night?" He asked me.

From the corner of my eye, I saw Randy looking over, I think he too was interested in knowing if I remembered anything. "Not much" I lied, sitting down, avoiding his gaze. Whether they believed me or not, no one said anything.

"Well you have the chance to do it all again tonight" Ted said to me.

"What do you mean?" I asked him curiously.

"I'm kidnapping your son for the evening, I want to spend time with my godson! You're going out with Cody and Becky" He told me. Cody handed Hayden over to me.

"He has been fed, changed, the whole lot" He said to me.

"Thank you Cody" I laid back with Hayden on my lap. "Did you have fun with Uncle Cody last night?" I cooed at Hayden. He opened his mouth wide. "I take that as a yes" I kissed the top of his head. "Was he good?"

"He was fine" Cody said, entwining his fingers with Hayden's. "Growing some hair now isn't he"

"A few strains" I said scuffling the little hair he had.

"Going to be a baldy for a while, just like his da-" Ted stopped when he realised what was saying. "Baby, I'm really sorry"

"Its fine Ted" I replied. I looked over at Randy who was starring at me. I saw Cody smack Ted on the back of the head. I know Ted didn't mean any harm, it was just a slip of the tongue, and I still do it myself.

Later on

"I'm ready" I said as I came out of my room. I looked over to see Ted was in front of the TV, with Hayden on his lap and next to them both was a stack of Disney films.

"Err…they are for Hayden, not me" Ted said noticing I was sniggering.

"Hey, I'm not judging you" He glared at me.

"I am" Cody stepped forward. "You're such a woman Ted!"

"They are for Hayden!" Ted protested. "You can try and belittle me whenever you want Cody, but that doesn't change the fact that I'm better looking"

"Let's go" Cody muttered.

Ted smirked smugly. "Ownage"

"Who says things like ownage?" I asked him shaking my head.

"I just did you short bitch now get out of here!"

"Alright alright!" I held my hands up and followed Becky and Cody out the door. It was déjà vu entering the club, it looked exactly like it did yesterday. We all sat at the bar and started a small conversation. The girl who Brett got off with last night was here, Brett went home last night, I didn't get to say goodbye, and I'll have to call him at some stage. I scanned the club to see if Justin was in the club, maybe I could tease him for fun at the fact that he was going to kiss me last night. Instead of finding Justin, my eyes found …Randy. He was sitting on a long red velvet couch with two girls either side of him. He was staring right back at me. I faced forward, every time I looked away, I tried to convince myself that it wasn't him, that I was mistaken, but I knew, I wish I didn't.

I starred over at him. Sick to my stomach. He knew I was here and he was dangling his little sluts in front of me. One either side of him, all kissing down his neck. "Do you want to go?" Cody asked me. I shook my head. I wasn't going to give him the satisfaction, no matter how sick I felt.

"No, it's fine" I told him. "I'm not going to let him win" My chest felt so tight, my whole dress suddenly felt tight. I tried not to look over, but I found my eyes kept wandering over there, each time it hurt more and more. Cody and Becky both noticed what I was feeling, they kept trying to start up a conversation, trying to take my mind off it, but I just couldn't. He was right there and it hurt. There was a drink in front of me, part of me wanted to down it, to keep drinking and maybe just forget about him for one night, but I couldn't. "I'll be right back" I told them. I got up off my seat and headed over to Randy. Everything was running through my head, the moment the accident happened, rushing to the hospital, finding out his memory had gone and how cold he was.

I was starting to lose my nerve as I got closer. When I was finally in front of him, he looked up at me slowly, not surprised, as if he was expecting me to of come over. "What do you want?" He asked me coldly. "Can't you see I'm a little.." He looked at the two girls either side of him. "busy" He finished.

"You don't want this" I said to him softly. "You don't want to do this" I tried to stand tall despite the fact I was caving in on the inside. I tried to swallow the huge lump that was building up in my throat.

"Leave me alone" He told me sternly. He looked away, waiting for me to leave, but I wasn't going anywhere.

"You don't hate me Randy, as much as your trying to convince yourself, you don't hate me" I saw his mouth tremble, he was fighting back the feelings, the memories, I know he was, I just want to make him see that it doesn't have to be this way. I needed him back as desperate and pathetic that sounded I did, it hurt too much, the idea of living with this pain, feeling it for just one more day, I couldn't do it. It was hard to breathe, I just don't know what to do, and I never know what to do anymore when he is concerned. Seeing him everyday made it even the more harder, it's a constant fucking reminder and I couldn't deal with it anymore. I could have a laugh with Ted, Cody, Becky, Melina, but after, when I'm alone sharing that empty bed, it's when I hear it the most, the silence, not Randy's soft breathing, not his occasional grunts, not his arm resting over me, protecting me, nothing. I'm alone, I'm all alone and I don't want to be.

"Stop telling me what I feel" He said through clenched teeth. It's when he speaks to me in that coldness I remember the occasional fights me and Randy used to have. Sure they seemed pretty bad at the time, but we would always find a way to work them out because we love each other and that's what people do when they are in love, they work it out no matter how hard it is. He was so proud to call me his girlfriend, his fiancée and soon to be his wife, this Randy seemed like he couldn't bare the sight of me.

"I remember last night" From the looks of it, so did he. He wanted me last night as much as I wanted him. Feeling like no one would see, it was then and there he let it show. I remember him being so gentle, he didn't force me when I didn't want it, he didn't pressure, his face was so kind and that was the Randy I remember.

He shrugged the two girls off him and stood up to face me. "You remember wrong" He muttered, looking anywhere as long as he was avoiding my eye contact. I looked over at Becky and Cody. Becky had her arm around Cody, keeping him back from coming over. I turned back to Randy, he looked so confused, I knew his confusion had something to do with his memories, his feelings, there was only so much longer that he can fight them off, last night was evident of that.

"You can't keep running anymore Randy, I know your starting to remember" He half flinched when I said this, I knew I was right, he was remembering, I just didn't know what he was remembering and why he was fighting it so much. "You need to stay here and you need to hear it"

"Mickie, don't-"

I put my hand around the back of his head and forced him to look down at me. "I love you" I told him. "I do and I know, that you love me too" Randy finally stared right back at me, right in the eye. His face was expressionless, his breathing was heavy. "Tell me you love me" I whispered sliding my hand down his cheek. "Tell me you remember" I felt my eyes start to water. I felt a burning sensation at the back of my throat, I quickly wiped my eyes with the back of my hand. "And if you do, we will work it out, we will work everything out"

"We've talked about this" He snapped. "You are not my girlfriend" I was shaking, my lip was trembling and I was feeling everything. It felt as if he was stabbing me in the stomach with each word. "Was that it?" He asked coldly. "Or were you going to tell me you loved me again?" He sat back down, his eyes not leaving mine, even when the woman he was with, her lips slimily covered his and all I could do was watch. I breathed out, the tear blinded my vision, and I looked away, closing my eyes letting the tears fall. I really did try. I forced my feet to move, I had to go, and I couldn't stay here anymore. I quickly wiped my eyes and hurried towards the door.

"Mickie" Cody said, grabbing my arm, he backed off when he saw I was crying. "Hey, hey, come here" He pulled me into a hug. "It's going to be alright, I'm going to look after you" He whispered in my eye.

"It's not going to be alright Cody, I've lost him, and I've completely lost him" I backed away from him and ran towards the exit. I had to go, I needed to go right now.

"MICKIE" I heard him yell after me. I had to go

Ted's P.O.V

"I think I hear her, I'll let you know what's going on" I told Cody before I hung up the phone. I opened the door to find Mickie just leaning against the door. She was starring at the floor, her make up was smudged, her eyes were red and she just looked a mess, a beautiful mess. She looked up at me.

"Did you hear?" She asked. I held up my phone and gave her a small sad smile. "Oh Ted" She sobbed, wrapping her arms around me, crying into my shoulder. I picked her up slightly and carried her into our room. Hayden was asleep in his crib, I sat down with her and I let her cry. Her cries were so sad, so heartbreaking. What was worse was that I know I couldn't do anything to make her feel better. Nothing I could say would take away the pain, nothing I could say would instantly fix things for her. I so wanted to, I wanted to be the hero, to fix everything and to make her happy, but it just couldn't be done. She had fought so hard and I could see it in her eyes, she was exhausted. She leaned out and just starred at the wall, she wiped her eyes, but that didn't stop her tears from falling. My heart actually hurt for her.

"Before" She spoke softly. "I could see a bit of Randy in him, even when it was just a little, I still saw him" She told me, trying to keep her voice from breaking. Her mouth gave a small tremble. "But this time" She breathed in. "When I looked into his eyes" She finally looked at me. "I couldn't see him anymore" She shook her head, she squeezed her eyes shut. "I tried….. I really tried" She hung her head down and wiped her tears. "I need to go Ted"

"We can go, go away for a few days, you, me and Hayden, get away from it for awhile" I told her, wiping her eyes.

"No" She shook her head. "I mean, I need to go Ted, I need to go home"

"For how long?"

"I don't know" She replied, she gave a little sniff. "All I know is, I can't stay here Ted, and it hurts too much" Her voice broke and she gave a little cry. Her eyes were swollen, they were so sad, so desperate, and she looked like all the life in her had drained. She wrapped her arms around herself, protectively.

"I'm so sorry Mickie"

"Make it stop it hurts" She sobbed. She cried and she kept crying until she couldn't cry anymore. I offered her a tissue. "I'm ok" She said trying to straighten up, she wiped her eyes. "I need to be strong for me and for Hayden, he's my son Ted, and I need to put him first now"

"When are you going?" I asked her.

"Tonight" She answered. "I'm packing mine and Hayden's stuff and then we're off to the airport"

"Can't you sleep on it? And then if you still want to leave in the morning, you can go, you're not thinking clearly"

"I'm thinking clearer then I have done for a long time" She wiped her nose with her tissue and got up, pulling out her suitcase from under her bed. "I'll call you everyday Ted, I swear, you can visit Hayden whenever you want….you can-"

"I don't want you to go" I told her, pulling her to me.

"I know" She took another breath, "But it's for the best" She tried to smile. "You'll always be my best friend Ted"

"And you'll always be my short bitch" She laughed and shoved me. "At least let me drive you to the airport" She nodded and got up to continue packing. I sent her a smile before walking out the room. I picked up my phone and found Randy's number.

If you cared about her even if it was just the tiniest bit, you will stop her from leaving, We're heading to the airport now, the one we came from

Send? Yes. Sending. I put my phone away. I hope he get my message and does the right thing.

Randy's P.O.V

As soon as I saw Mickie run out in tears, I had to get out of there, no I didn't want those girls touching or kissing me, they did nothing for me, only seeing her gave me a reaction. I unlocked my car and got in, I needed answers and I needed them now. It was only a twenty minute drive….we were doing a skirt just outside of St Louis, I knew where I could get answers, someone who wouldn't make up crap or lie to me.

I knocked on the door. "Randy….what are you-"

"What's going on mom?" I cut her off. "What happened to me?"

Her facial expression changed. "I think you should come in" She opened the door for me. "Your father is out, it's just us" She closed the door behind me.

"I don't know what's happening to me" I told her.

"Take a seat and tell me what's going on" I sat down and she sat down opposite me, I couldn't relax, everything was changing, I was changing, I cared….I actually cared for someone, I actually might love someone.

"I know you won't lie to me mom, was I with Mickie?" I asked her, nothing beating around the bush. "Was I actually with her? Was I actually in love with? Is….he my son?"

"Randy-"

"Please mom, just tell me" I half snapped.

"Yes" She replied, I looked away and felt the wind being taken out of me. "We weren't suppose to tell you, you were suppose to remember on my own"

"Tell me everything"

"You fell in love" She shrugged. "That's all there is to it"

"But was I actually in love?"

"You were smattered dear" She moved so she was sitting next to me. "She would have done anything for her Randy and that little boy, you were so protective, so possessive of her, it was nice seeing you actually care about someone the way you cared for her"

"I don't understand, she was telling the truth?"

She nodded. "I want to show you something" She got up and went into her cupboard, she handed me a book.

"What is it?" I asked her.

"It was a scrap book you were making for Mickie"

"I was making a scrap book?" I asked in disgust.

"Don't look disgusted, it was sweet, open it" I looked in there were pictures of me and her, I looked….happy and not fake happy either, in the pictures I looked at her as if she were a goddess. "You see these pictures were from when she first caught your eye" My mom said pointing to one of the pictures. "She was in a group to take your group down…..look here is a picture of her ultra sound" I stared down at the pictures of me with my arms around her, kissing her, I couldn't believe it.

"Do you see now Randy?"

I shook my head. "I don't remember this mom, I don't"

"You love her Randy, it's the one thing you've kept with you" She pulled me into a hug. "Before the accident, you would have killed someone who treated Mickie the way you have been doing"

"How do you-" I asked leaning out of the hug.

"Your sister" She replied.

"I don't know what to do mom"

"Find her"

"And say what? I can't pretend I'm this guy mom" I said pointing at the picture.

"But you love her, you don't have to be this guy, but you have to let her know you believe her" My mom said. "And you need to be there for your son, I'm surprised you didn't catch on, he looks so like you, and you two gave him your middle name"

"Hayden Keith Orton?" I asked her, she nodded. "Why did she show me these?"

"Because she wants you to remember, on your own" She patted my back.

I got my phone out when I felt it vibrate. It was from Ted.

If you cared about her even if it was just the tiniest bit, you will stop her from leaving, We're heading to the airport now, the one we came from

So Randy knows! Will he try and stop Mickie from leaving?
