A dose of extreme and a taste of the game.
Characters: Hunter, Lita, Matt, Stephanie, Trish, Andrew, The Rock (surprise, surprise), others.
Parings: Lita/Matt; eventually Lita/Hunter; Hunter/Stephanie; Trish/Andrew; Rock/Dany
Rating: Strong R for sexual content, language, use of drugs, self-harming and smut.
Disclaimer: Don't own them. Can't sue me.
Spoilers: Takes place during the 'Attitude Era' back in 2000, where the best matches and best storylines took effect. And, while I was watching one my old DVDs last night, I came up with an incredible idea: what if The Rock and Hunter were actually- get this-best friends? And, Trish and Lita are half-sisters.
Summary: Hunter and Lita can't stand the sight of each other. But, when a shocking secret sends her down to a self-destructive path, he's the only one who can save her.
Author's note: There are gonna be some major shockers in this story. First of all, Hunter and Stephanie are married on screen and off. Second, Matt is verbally abusive and Lita's broken down. That's all I'm gonna say for now.

July 1, 2000
Amy Christine Dumas absolutely hated weddings.
She hated them with a passion. But, she had to put on a brave face and produced one of the most sincerest smiles she ever did, however, because she just witnessed her half-sister, Patricia Anne Stratus wed the love of her life, Andrew Martin a.k.a. Test.
The wedding itself was beautiful. But, having to hear two people, a man and a woman, professing their love for one another in front of 300 people made her sick to her stomach. And, to make matters worse, she's in a relationship with man who didn't know whether or not he wants to get married.
I'm so happy Trish's happy. I wanna be happy. But, I don't think that's gonna happen.
She wants to get married. Eventually. But she didn't know if she wants to marry him. Over the last six months, he's been moody and distant towards her, always coming up with excuses on why he couldn't be with her.
Something was not right with him. For God's sake, she's 25 years old and she's not getting any younger. She loves him and wants to be his wife but, at this point, her patience was starting to wear thin.
"Let's go, Ames. We're going back to the hotel," Matt yelled as she watched him head for the door.
"I thought we were going to the reception," she called out to him.
"Let's go!" he yelled again.
"But, I have to be there. Trish's my sister, for crying out loud!" she yelled back.
"You know what? Go to that stupid reception and be with your fucking sister! I'm going back!" he yelled before he took off.
What the hell is his problem? Why is he acting like this? Amy thought with tears falling from her eyes. A part of her just wanted to walk away from her failing relationship while the other part of her wanted to work things out with her boyfriend.
"Are you okay, girl?" a deep male voice asked when he approached her.
She looked up and saw Dwayne Johnson a.k.a. The Rock and his wife Dany looking at her with concern looks on their faces.
She just lost it. "I don't know. I mean, I'm losing Matt and I don't know what to do. I tried talking to him, tried getting his attention, but he acts as though I don't exist in his world. What should I do? What can I do?"
"Honey, you can try harder. Don't give up so easily. It's been a year since you been with him so don't worry. You love him, don't you?" Dwayne asked while he wrapped an arm over her shoulder.
Amy just nodded her head.
"Then talk to him. Make him listen to you if you must. Just don't give up, okay? He'll see what a beautiful woman you are and he'll give you all the love and respect you need, okay?"
She couldn't help but smile of what he said. "Thanks, Dwayne. I knew you could understand."
He smiled. "It's not a problem. We're friends, Ames. You know you can come to me and Dany if you ever need to talk."
"He's right, honey. You're practically family to us," Dany said before she leaned over and kissed her cheek.
"Thank you both so much," Amy said with a tainted smile on her face.
"Like I said, it's not a problem, honey." He kissed her forehead before he and Dany left for the reception.
She smiled at them. Now, that's a couple who looks like they're in love with each other. She remembered how her and Matt looked at each other lovingly when they first got together.
No offense, Dwayne, but Matt doesn't wanna talk to me. He doesn't even see me as his girlfriend. I don't know what to do with him. Amy shook her head as she headed for the door, running into someone very large, very warm and very male.
"Watch where the fuck you're going!" he yelled.
Amy looked up in the eyes of Hunter Hearst Helmsley. His eyes were seething. She didn't know why Dwayne was best friends with this asshole.
"Excuse me," she snapped.
"Watch where you're going, woman. You couldn't knocked me down or something," he ranted.
She had to laugh at that one. "Me knocking you down? Oh, believe me, I'll knock you down but it'll be somewhere you don't want me to knock you down at."
He grabbed her arms and yanked her towards him. "I wouldn't go there if I were you, baby. I can eat little girls like you for breakfast."
"Ooh, I'm shaking in my high heels," she mocked.
"At least, my wife and I love each other. It seemed you and Matt are on the verge of breaking up. And I see why he wants out. You're just a pain in the ass!"
"You son of a bitch!" she reached up and slapped him. Hard. Then she slapped him again. Much harder. Then she snatched her arm away from his grip and walked away in a huff, not stopping to watch the repercussions she caused.
"And you can go to hell!" she screamed.

Back at the Hotel...
"I'm so glad you decided to come and see me, baby."
Matt stepped in her hotel room, took her in his arms and kissed her with everything he had. He couldn't get here fast enough.
"Man, I couldn't get away fast enough. Amy's getting on my nerves. She's talking about marriage," he said while he sat down at the edge of the bed and pulled her down on his lap.
"Well, why don't you marry her? It's been a year so take the plunge already," she said.
He sighed deeply. "I can't marry her because I'm married to you. Do you know what will happen if she finds out? The truth will kill her. I can't take that risk. The last time I broke up with her, she almost killed herself. I love her but I'm not in love with her. I love you. You're my wife."
"I know that, baby. You need to calm down. She's gonna find out one way or another so what are you gonna do?" she said while she laid her head against his.
"I don't know what to do if she finds out. I know she's gonna find out. I'll never forgive myself if and when she finds out. And what about you? What will happen when Hunter finds out? He's gonna kill us both," Matt said.
Stephanie McMahon sighed deeply. She hadn't thought of that. Even though her marriage to Hunter seemed to be solid on screen, the truth was, she was not happy with him. She was the one who has to show off her wedding ring while he goes and parties with his friends. She was the one who has to play the loyal 'wife' while he goes and flirt with every single diva in the locker room. She was the one who wants to have sex with him all the time but he always comes up with an excuse on why he can't get it up for her.
"I know. We're gonna have to keep it under wraps for now. I love you," Stephanie said.
Matt leaned over and kissed her sweetly. "I love you, too, Mrs. Hardy."

"I'm so happy for you, Trisha. I really mean it," Amy said with a genuine smile on her face. She reached over and enveloped her newlywed sister in her arms.
"Thanks, sis. I love Andrew so much. I can't wait to start a family with him." Trish smiled as they pulled apart.
"I won't be surprised if you end up pregnant as soon as you get back from your honeymoon." Amy giggled.
Trish blushed at the thought. "Drew's been giving me hell over the last three months about me not giving him any loving. He could barely contain himself because he wanted me so damn bad. Well, when we get to Fiji, the wait will be all over."
"It better be. Cause men without sex is like Superman without his cape."
"That's true. Listen, I can't keep my husband waiting so I'll see you when I get back." she kissed her sister on her cheek.
"Have fun, Pickles. And don't give him too much, okay?" she laughed.
"Yeah, whatever, Cookies. See you soon." Trish then left so she could be with her new husband.
Amy just stood there, looking at her half sister with tears falling from her brown eyes. Yeah, God, rub it in my face. My sister gets married and I'm stuck in a near dead relationship. Not to mention, I have to deal with the most self-centered, self-absorbed, ego manic asshole I ever met! I hate him! I hate him with a passion!
So, why can't she stop thinking about Hunter Hearst Helmsley?
Well, that's the first chapter. I had to go ahead and write on why Matt's been so distant towards Amy. So review and let me know what you think. More drama in the next chapter and don't worry. The self-harming and the drug abuse will come into play in the next couple of chapters.
Please review!
