Love is a wonderful thing- Based on the WWE storyline in 2008. I do not own WWE or any of the characters portrayed by the wrestlers. Hope you enjoy!
When Kelly Kelly was presenting a Slammy award with Kane she didn't think much of it. Of course, Kane was intimidating and scary. Anyone could tell you that. But this was an awards show after all. She was excited to get to dress up and present a Slammy. After all, Kane could have declined if he didn't want to do it. So she wasn't really nervous. Kane didn't understand what love was all about. Rightfully so after all he'd been through. She had said, "love is a wonderful thing".
It was true and Kane needed to know that. They were in front of the WWE audience as well. She was slightly nervous but really just tried to play it off. She would never have thought those four words and one letter would get her in so much trouble. That next week she and Melina were having a tag team match against Beth Phoenix and Jillian Hall. She didn't like them but they were good competition. She also wouldn't mind getting the chance to slap Beth's boyfriend Santino.
Tagging with Melina was always fun as well. So that night after a hard fought victory they won the match. The ref had raised Kelly's hand. But she should have known they would jump her after the match. That was her fault for not paying attention. She would be saved but not by someone she wanted. When she heard the familiar boom of Kane's music she couldn't place it at first. Still too out of it from Beth and Jillian's attack. She had noticed they both looked shocked and afraid.
By the time she finally realized the big red monster was in the ring with her it was too late. She had laid there recovering to long. Santino had perhaps pulled Beth and Jillian out of the ring. Kelly thought he might go for them. She could hear Santino telling him they didn't want trouble. She had expected him to continue staring down at them giving her the chance to get up and leave. She hadn't expected him to appear above her. It now suddenly was clear how terrifying he could be.
He was terrifying and she had helplessly scooted back. Too frightened to do anything else. But he kept looking at her with that angry expression. The farther she went back he kept stalking her. Walking up so close she thought he might step on her. She had scooted into the rope almost as if in a trance. Had he had her in some form of trance? He reached out his hand to her and she had looked. Whether he was trying to help her up or take her somewhere she didn't know. She had scooted out of the ring.
Hoping to escape but terrifyingly he had come right after her. The farther she walked backward he seemed to be able to catch up with her. How fast was he? She ran backstage and nervously kept going. She didn't know where to go so she kept moving. Jamie Noble asked if she was okay and she just said yeah. Not knowing what to do next she stepped behind a wall hoping he wouldn't see her. It was stupid but what else could she do? Let him keep coming after her? She heard him push Jamie into the wall or do something.
She looked up as he was staring at her. He told her they needed to talk. She hadn't wanted to talk to him but knew she didn't have a choice. Maybe if she talked and understood what he wanted he would leave her alone. He took her in a small room of his and she instantly wanted to leave. He told her to sit down and she thought of running right then. But with the door shut she thought it was best to do as he said. He told her she had said love is a wonderful thing. And said she was trying to tell him something. "No, we were presenting an award". She'd said and it was true.
There was no ulterior motive to her words. He told her she felt something and accused her of trying to hurt him. Of course, she wasn't but Kane didn't listen to normal reasoning. He asked if there was someone else and she shook her head yes. Perhaps on instinct, as she wanted there to be a good reason for not wanting to be with him. Maybe that was something he could understand. Then he wanted to know who it was. No, she couldn't tell him. She had done it on instinct but there was someone else. She and Randy Orton had a connection in the hotel room.
She had seen how he and his Legacy members acted. She hadn't really liked that but Randy was undeniably attractive. She found his dangerous, crazy personality to be oddly sexy. Interestingly enough that was kind of how Kane acted. But there were differences. Randy had been interested in her that night at the bar. Neither drank that much so it was really shocking. He had checked her out a few times in the past. But then that was just Randy. He checked them all out without remorse.
That night he wanted her. One thing led to another and they made love. It was better than anything she'd ever had before. He made her feel beautiful and amazing. She tried hard to ensure he felt as much pleasure as she had. He had told her as much and promised to call her before leaving. They weren't dating but she had been optimistic about the future. Randy could handle himself. But there was no way she was going to tell Kane about him. He really could hurt Randy.
Kane had demanded an answer and refused to let her leave unless she said someone's name. Irresponsibly in that moment all she thought about was protecting Randy. So she'd said the Miz's name. They had dated back in ECW but that had ended badly and they no doubt had their issues. That hadn't stopped and she couldn't stand him or his tag team partner John Morrison. Kane had decided to let her go. It was obvious in that moment he was going for Miz. "Please just don't hurt him". She'd pleaded just before he left. Kane hadn't known it but her words had a double meaning.
She didn't like the Miz and thought he was a complete jerk. But she wouldn't wish harm upon him. Especially not by Kane. She realized she may have made a mistake there. She also was begging that he not hurt Randy. What if he found out and went after him? Kane had laughed darkly and stated. "Like you said love is a wonderful thing". Before shutting the door and leaving her. She cried in how close to danger she had just been. As well as the fact something might happen to Miz because of her. Something could still happen to Randy.
After that, she'd wanted to leave. Her friends Mickie James and Candice Michelle had asked if she was okay. She knew they cared but they were shocked they didn't know about the Miz. She was frustrated as how could they even think that? She and Miz hadn't been together in a long time. She just had to get away from it all and away from Kane. She'd left the building and escaped to her hotel when she saw it. She shouldn't have even continued watching. The Miz and Jim were wrestling Cm Punk and Kofi Kingston. King of the Ring winner William Regal observed from the ramp with his girlfriend Layla.
Kelly gasped as Kane's music hit. Oh no, he couldn't be. He turned and acted as though he was going to step toward William. She could tell William was a little mixture of confused and scared. But he was too arrogant to openly show it. Layla looked completely shocked and scared behind him as she gripped his championship. Miz and Jim had one the match but right now no one was happy. They and Punk looked shocked as Kofi recovered on the mat. As Kane entered the ring Kelly hoped maybe it was for a completely different reason. He seemed like he was going for Punk then kicked Jim out of the way and destroyed the Miz. She was ashamed as everyone knew.
She was glad Kofi and Punk got out of there safely. She was casual friends with them and they were always very nice. She felt sorry for Jim and especially Miz. She had anxiety thinking how angry they must be at her. For once the jerks were right to be angry with her. Things got worse afterward. Kane figured out she had lied but didn't know the truth. Stephanie McMahon had forced him to apologize to her out in the middle of the ring. She didn't know how Stephanie was brave enough to do that. She'd rather have just accepted his apology without having to go to the ring with him.
Stephanie had insisted and Kelly feared Kane might attack her. He was in an even worse mood afterward and warned her someday she would "regret not telling him the truth". She hoped he didn't mean that in a threatening way. She had been too terrified to be in the ring with him and wanted to get away. Then after she'd agreed to do a mixed tag match with her good friend John Cena, Miz and Morrison informed her that her motel was ransacked and everything was stolen.
It couldn't be proved but she was sure they were behind it somehow. So she hadn't taken part in the match. Then the worst of all happened. She talked with Randy after he hadn't returned any of her calls. It was obvious he was avoiding her. She'd really liked him and he had told her the same thing. And then he told her she was basically nothing and the night meant nothing. She was pathetic and he didn't need her as a distraction. She was pathetic and heartbroken. She just didn't know it would get so much worse.
Mickie and Candice were trying to comfort her. They truly were good friends. She kept hearing Randy's words. She didn't want to see him ever again. Just like she didn't want to say Jim and Miz. Just like she didn't want to see Kane. Unfortunately, she wasn't going to get her wish. She was going to be seeing them all a lot more. Kelly knew she had something to prove in WWE. Being a young blonde woman it would be a battle to be taken seriously. She was about to begin a battle she never expected to fight.
