A/N- First fanfic A/N- First fanfic. I am writing this up as if the storylines were real so bear with me…ALSO, this is set in post-draft period, except Batista never left SmackDown and HHH never graced SmackDown with his presence (SARCASM. For people like me who can't detect it on the net) Enjoy.Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters (unfortunately)

"And do you Edge, take Victoria Guerrero to be you're lawfully wedded wife?"

"I d-" Edge was suddenly cut off by a familiar theme song blaring through the stadium. The crowd were on there feet cheering and screaming at a deafening intensity. Chavo Guerrero looked at his auntie Vickie Guerrero who wore a look of shock and fury. Ryder and Hawkins looked at each other in confusion then looked at their mentor Edge who seemed to stop breathing. His eyes widened, his pulse quickened, his mind racing at an incredible speed.

"What the HELL?" Vickie screamed, the crowd's screams and cheers drowned her shriek of anger out as their saviour entered the stadium.

"She's still beautiful." Adam thought to himself, his mind was racing but his body was completely rigid. He heard Vickie make a loud noise but it just drowned out. To him, it seemed like white noise as nothing or no one was more important than the woman who just entered the stage.

A smile crossed Amy's face as she heard the intensity of the cheers. She looked towards the crowd where she saw people on the feet, applauding Lita for momentarily breaking up the wedding that she had been dreading for weeks. Only two weeks prior, Amy was sitting at home, biting her fingernails as she watched the man SHE loved making out with Vickie. At the end of the show, much to Amy's own surprise she called Vincent K. McMahon and asked for her job back. After Vince rubbed it in for what felt like eternity, he offered her an immediate comeback that she gladly took.

"What the HELL do you think you're doing?"

Lita's memory was suddenly interrupted by a shrill voice which boomed thought the stadium. Lita turned to where the voice was coming from and sure enough Vickie had snatched the microphone from the priest and was screaming into it. Lita then turned her eyes to the left and saw Ryder and Hawkins, Edge's new 'mentees', both held the same perplexed look. She saw Vicky, shooting Lita infuriated looks and to her right, Chavo, looking awkward and confused.

Finally Amy spotted him, He was still unbelievably handsome, his green eyes wide with shock, but not the same kind of shock that was on Vickie's face, he had a kind look of shock on his face, a look that resembled meeting a long lost friend after years of separation, and that was exactly what this was. She studied his face noting the differences. His jaw, still strong, his hair, still long but unkempt, but there was something different in his eyes. As Amy studied his face, she noted that his eyes were sullen and that he had dark patches under his eyes. But the moment he saw his red-haired angel, his eyes opened widely and expressed an emotion he had not felt for months. Compassion..

Adam felt a myriad of emotion as he studied Amy, His Amy. He remembered a million memories as he looked at her dark auburn coloured hair. He paused at her beautiful hazel eyes which were filled with the same compassion Edge was feeling. Immediately, Adam remembered the days of the 'Rated R Couple'. He remembered the countless hours he spent with her and the rare moments without her, wishing she were with him. "How did I last this long without this woman?" He thought to himself.

"The real question here Vickie, is what the hell do you think you're doing with MY man?" Lita replied, the crowd that had paused briefly to breathe recommenced their loud cheers. Edge didn't move one inch, he was still dazed by the fact that the woman who had left him so quickly, returned abruptly in his life and made him feel all the same feelings he did almost two years ago.

"Lita, I will forgive your rudeness, but seeing as you are breaking into MY show without ANY authority, I'm going to have to ask you to leave. Hawkins, Ryder, please escort Miss Lita out of this stadium." Vicky said to which the crowd replied with deafening boo's. As Ryder and Hawkins exited the ring and approached Lita, different theme music played in the background. Ryder and Hawkins stopped dead in their tracks while Vickie turned pale.

"Now listen here Ms. Guerrero, Lita is now officially part of SmackDown and I see no reason whatsoever for her to leave as she now works here. As of which, I'm sure you do not hold the pleasantest of feelings towards Miss Lita here. So, don't let me see that you are 'victimising' Lita."

"But…But…Mr McMahon-"

"But nothing, Ms. Guerrero. If you defy my orders then I won't hesitate for a second on firing your ass."

And with his final trademark words, the chairman of the WWE, Vincent McMahon left the stage, leaving Amy with a puzzled appreciation and Vickie with excessive rage. "How the hell did that bitch get a spot on MY show? She won't be here long if I have something to say. I can't fire her, but I can sure as hell make her quit." A smile crossed Vickie's face as this thought ran through her mind. Yes, she was going to make Lita wish she NEVER came back in the first place.

"Well then Lita, congratulations on becoming part of the SmackDown roster," Vickie said with a fake smile, "However, I am still, legally, your boss. Therefore, tonight you have a tag-team match against The Miz and John Morrison, AND if you try to interfere further into my wedding, I won't hesitate to put you in a handicap match against The Great Khali."

Amy scowled at Vickie, but hesitantly withdrew behind the curtain. She wasn't afraid of The Great Khali OR any of Vickie soon-to-come punishments. She just couldn't bare take anymore of the sight of the love of HER life, with someone as vindictive as Vickie. It broke her heart to see him in the ring, waiting to marry Vickie when two years ago he was ready to do the same thing with her.

What she didn't know was that Adam was panicking. Even if he knew that Amy could take on BOTH women and beat them, he didn't want Amy to be put through a match that was obviously unfair. He knew that Amy would be assaulted if she were to enter the ring. He knew that Vickie would make damn sure that Amy would not exit the ring without injury, and Amy - who had once broken her neck-, was in danger of causing harm to herself. Adam didn't want Amy to be harmed any more than the psychological harm she had endured when she left Matt Hardy. He would never forget the look of pain on Amy's face every time she got in a ring; she always left the stage in a hurry to get away from the 'Slut' and 'Ho' chants. It hurt Adam so much to see the woman he loved in so much pain, whether it was physical or emotional.

2006

Adam smiled as he walked back to his locker room. He had just won a match and was heading back to his locker room where Amy was waiting for him. As he reached the door, he heard sobbing coming from inside the room. Adam paused a moment "surely it can't be Amy, she's way too strong to cry."

As he opened the door he saw her. Her knees drawn over her chest and her arms around her as if she were hugging herself. Adam approached her and saw that her eyes were closed and she had not heard him come in. He kneeled down beside her and wrapped his arms around her, Amy jumped up slightly but when she felt his strong arms she calmed down and moved closer to his chest. They stayed like that for hours, slowly rocking back and forth and Edge breathing softy into Amy's red hair as he stroked her arm with his hand.

"I can't do this anymore Adam."

Adam recognised the use of his real name and immediately drew out of his reverie back to the beautiful woman in his arms.

"Do what anymore baby?"

"This," Amy continued in a shaky, "this whole thing, Adam I can't take it anymore. I can't take being called a slut by complete strangers. I can't take the fact that Matt- my best friend, the guy I used to love- is spreading nasty rumours about me when I remember how close we were. I can't stand having to lose some of my closest friends because of this fight. I can't stand being called a 'ho' when I'm walking down the street. I can't stand people sending me hate mail when they don't even know the truth.."

Adam brushed the hair out of Amy's face as she looked up. God, that looks teared up Adam's heart. It tugged on every heartstring he had and haunted him for years. He couldn't bear to see the woman he loved so much in so much pain. Her eyes puffy and as red as her hair, her cheeks tear-stained, her bottom-lip quivering. God, it tore Adam apart to see the strongest person in his life so vulnerable. Ever since he met Amy he though she was the strongest person in the world, she had a strong personality and an amazing fortitude. The woman broke her neck for God's sake! But to see her affected so badly by what these cruel people were doing tore his heart. He knew what she had to do but he couldn't bear to lose her for a second, he was selfish and he knew it. He wanted Amy all to himself, and he knew that if he told her, she wouldn't hesitate to stay with him forever. But he knew that what he wanted was actually what Amy wanted to get away from, he knew that he had to put all his selfishness aside and do what was best for her, as much as it would kill him.

But Amy needed him to be strong so he sucked up his heartbreak and tightened his arms around Amy. He pressed his lips to her forehead and planted a small kiss before moving his lips to her ears and whispering.

"Baby, you are the strongest person I know. And you telling me this breaks my heart, but if you want to do anything about this don't think about me. I love you so much it pains me to see you like this so if you want to make any decisions, remember I am behind you 100 percent."

Amy shuddered as his lips touching her forehead, it was so soft and it helped her so much. God, she loved him and doing what she was thinking about doing broke her heart. But Adam was right, this was her future and as much as it would kill her she was going to do the right thing for herself.

Amy exhaled as she reached over to her backpack, which rested on the wall. She pulled out a piece of paper and a pen and shakily put pen to paper. She spoke the words as she wrote them, so Adam would know what she was doing.

"With this letter, I hereby submit my resignation from World Wrestling Entertainment.

Sincerely Amy Dumas."

And with having signed her name. Amy put the letter in an envelope, planning to slip it under Vince McMahon's office on the way out. She would tell him in person but she couldn't bear looking at the asshole who put her in storylines she didn't want to be in. Adam read every word on the page. Every word she wrote tore him apart. How would he be able to live without her? Sure they would contact each other frequently but Adam would be busy with the touring, and he wouldn't be able to see Amy's beautiful face by his side. He sighed, but it went unnoticed to Amy, who was wound up in the exact same thoughts as Adam was wound up in. He just couldn't bear living without her…
