I do not own Dave Bautista, Matt or Jeff Hardy or any one else in the WWE

flashback

I go falling to the ground as Jerard slaps me hard, leaving a stinging mark on my right cheek. He comes running to my side asking if I am ok he didn't mean to hit me he didn't know what came over him and it will never happen again.

Jerard hadn't been himself lately so I thought I would make him feel good and surprise him with Armageddon tickets and backstage passes. Jerard was a big wrestling fan as was I. He was always saying how he would like to go to a special event as appose to just a regular show. When I presented him with the tickets and passes he was very happy.

Tanya how did you get these tickets and passes?

I had to do a few extra things around work to get them. I had to give up one of our football games and two of my hockey games, but I felt it was worth the sacrifice.

You gave up two of your hockey games for me to see Armageddon?

Yes and I think it will be worth it. I will be seeing all of my favorite guys in action. I want to see Jeff get the world heavy weight title and I want to see Bautista beat Orton and Matt is wrestling Koslof and Shawn will be making his decision to work with JBL or not. So it will be worth it.

Oh so you made it a personal decision for you too.

Well I thought of you first because I love you so much.

I love you too Tanya.

The night of Armageddon came and Jerard was so excited we drove from our hotel to the arena. He kept thanking me telling me that he was sorry for being mean to me in the past and staying with him. I just told him I loved him and I knew that he didn't mean to be mean to me and just to enjoy the show and meeting who ever we got to meet back stage.

As the show went on we both were getting into it. I got one of Jeff Hardy's armbands I was so thrilled. Jerard wasn't at all. He seemed annoyed. When Jeff won the title I was so happy I was in tears.

Jerard looked at me and said it's just a stupid match.

I looked at him and said but I am happy for him he has fought so hard for this title for the last few months and now he finally has it. Why can't I be happy for him?

At just that moment Jeff was coming around the ring slapping every one's hand and he noticed me with tears on my face and he pulled me in for a hug and said I did it. I said in return I know and I am happy for you, and he was on his way. I couldn't believe it Jeff Hardy hugged me. Jerard was upset, I could see it in his face.

When we got back stage we met Chris Jerico first. He wasn't in any mood to talk to fans. He just said hi and kept walking, he wouldn't even stop for a picture. We ran into Rey Mysterio and C.M. Punk and we told them that we thought they put on a great match, and congratulated Punk on his win. Then we bumped into Batista and Jerard took my picture with him. Then we ran into the Hardy boys Matt and Jeff. They were celebrating Jeff's win. Jeff recognized me as the girl from the front row that was crying and that he had hugged. He came over to Jerard and I and asked if I wanted a picture with him. I said yes. He let me hold the belt for one picture.

Wow Jeff this belt weighs a lot, you need to be a weight lifter in order to carry it around. I said laughing.

Then Matt let me hold the ECW title and Jerard got a picture of me with both titles and both Matt and Jeff.

Jeff invited us out to the after show party at their hotel. It just so happened that we were staying at the same hotel so we accepted their invitation.

When we got back to our room Jerard got upset with me and started to yell you paid more attention to those wrestlers than you did me.

I'm sorry I was just talking with them, I didn't mean to (as he slaps me hard across the face knocking me to the floor) I got up running for the bathroom holding the side of my face that was stinging from the slap. Thinking to myself this shouldn't hurt any more, I should be used to it with tears running down my face. With the tears making my face hurt even more I tried to stop crying. Jerard was at the door telling me once more that he was sorry and that it wouldn't happen again and to come out we had the party to go to.

How can I go to the party with this mark on my face?

Put some make-up on to cover it and let's go.

We went to the party. Jeff came and got us so we could hang out with him and Matt. It was so cool to be an actual part of a WWE party. Jerard was off talking with Shawn Michaels when Batista came up and started to talk to me. I was totally shocked that he noticed me even sitting there. He asked me for a dance I figured Jerard was busy what the hell one dance wouldn't hurt. The next thing I know Jerard had me by the arm and was pulling me off the dance floor and screaming at me that I do not dance with any one but him and out of no where he began to hit me. Up to this point it had only been slaps but now in the middle of this bar he was beating on me. Security had grabbed him and Batista had grabbed me. He was arrested for assault. I found myself being held by Batista

he was caressing my long black hair asking me if I was ok.

I think I am ok I just hurt all over.

How long has he been abusing you?

This is the first time he has ever hit me, normally it has been just a slap across the face here and there for the last four monthes. I don't like it and I want out but I don't know how to get out. I am afraid to go back to my room tonight because I know he has enough money to bond out.

So don't go back to your room. You can stay with me for the night. I will take you to your room to get your stuff and then you can bring it by me.

Dave that is nice of you to offer for me to stay with you, but I can't put you out like that.

Tanya, it is no problem my room has two beds and I am only one person. I promise to be on my best behavior.

Two beds, and you promise to behave well I guess I can stay then. Thank you so much. Dave you are a life saver.

Now are you sure that you are OK you don't need to go to the emergency room. Some of your bruises are pretty big and dark and those are just the one's I can see.

No I am sure that I will be OK just a little sore. Thank you for being so concerned about me seeing as you don't even know me.

Tanya, no lady deserves to be treated the way he treated you. You deserve someone better. Someone like me.

Dave please tell me that was a joke.

No why not someone like me? I would never lay a hand on you. Sure home life with someone like me is crazy, but then if you wanted you could travel with me all over.

My God Dave you are serious, aren't you? You are asking me out aren't you?

Yes Tanya, as a matter of fact I am. I know you think I am crazy, but I like you a lot. I seen you in the front row tonight and I said if that girl is meant to be mine Lord make it happen. Well here you are. You are my miracle. Do you believe in miracles Tanya?

Yes Dave, I do I just never dreamed it would be you. I always thought of Jeff or Matt. I guess the Lord has his ways of working in strange ways.

Yes he does and I am sorry that you had to endure the abuse to find me.

But Dave that was part of God's plan if Jerard wouldn't have done what he did you wouldn't have been able to rescue me.

With that being said Dave took me in his arms and held me close to his body and assured me no one would ever hurt me ever again as long as he was around.

I just put my arms back around him and held him tight. We finished up our drinks and Dave took me back to my room to get my things and then we went back to his room. I remembered that I didn't have any thing decent to sleep in all I had was a skimpy nightie. I decided to sleep in my clothes. Dave asked me if I always slept in my clothes. I told him no and that it was suppose to be a special night for Jerard and myself so I had a skimpy nightie and I didn't feel right wearing it in front of him. He just said oh OK and asked me if I wanted on of his t-shirts. Sure I would love to wear on of your t-shirts. I went into the bathroom to change and when I came out Dave and I had company it was the boys Hardy, Jeff and Matt. They had come to check on me. To make sure I was ok.

Jeff and Matt you guys are so sweet for coming and checking on me. You didn't have to take time out to come and see me. I am just a nobody.

Matt said you may have been a nobody, but you still matter to us we invited you to the party so that made you a somebody. It made you our friend, Tanya and your boyfriend a jerk. But I hear you are with Dave now. Good choice he is a great guy. You couldn't find any one better well unless your with me.(Laughing)

Thank you Matt I am glad you are happy for me. I am still processing the idea of being Batista's girlfriend.

Dave tucked me into bed and gave me a goodnight kiss. I fell fast asleep, but within an hour or two I awoke screaming. This woke Dave up and he was by my side immediately holding me tightly in his arms.

I am so sorry I woke you Dave, I just had a bad dream of him beating on me again.

Tanya, it's ok I am here, he can't hurt you any more as long as I am around. I promise.

Dave, I am so happy that I have you. I don't know what I would do with out you.

Tanya, I am glad I have you to love now let's try and get some sleep. I am going to stay right here by your side so you can hold me in case you have another dream.

With that being said I fell asleep in Dave's arms and slept peacefully the rest of the night.

When I awoke the next morning I was still in Dave's arms and he just looked at me and said good morning beautiful and gave me a kiss.

I still couldn't believe that I was Dave Bautista's girlfriend.
