Chapter one
She rocked back and forth on the rocking chair, singing '99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall.' Her heart hammered with nervousness and fear. Sweat was pouring from her forehead and tears was falling from her eyes.
Amy Christine Dumas a.k.a Lita was terrified. Terrified of the man she loved. Terrified of the man who supposedly loved her. Terrified of the man who turned into a monster.
Terrified of Adam Copeland a.k.a Edge.
She winced when she raised her left hand. It never fully healed. He crushed her hand in one of his rages. Even twisting her wrist was painful.
How in the hell did she get herself into this mess?
Back in February, the fans and the media had a field day when it was revealed Amy cheated on her longtime boyfriend Matt Hardy. She actually apologized to him in person and, to her shock, he forgave her. But there was the person she fell in love with: Adam Copeland.
Sure, he was married, but the fact of the matter was he never loved Lisa. Hell, he found out that the only reason she married him was to get to his money. He threw her out of his Tampa home and burned all of her things. He then flew down to the Dominican Republic and got a quickie divorce.
Since then, Amy and Adam's relationship was the talk of the town. But, what they didn't know is how they really got together.
Adam hired a private investigator to search on something so damaging to Amy. He was floored when he discovered what she had done in her past.
When he confronted her about her history, he threatened to ruin her life if she didn't break things off with her on-screen husband, Kane.
Amy didn't have a choice.
At the Gold Rush Tourument, millions of fans in attendance stood in awe when Lita and Edge kissed on national television. Kane watched them in shock, anger and disbelief.
On screen, they were the ultimate power couple. Behind the scenes, Adam was a cold-blooded monster, beating and raping Amy whenever he felt like it.
Now, she was hiding in her locker room. She know in her heart he was looking for her. And when he finds her, she'll probably end up in the hospital.
Not wasting anymore time, Amy jumped up and ran out of her locker room, not bothering to say hello to her fellow co-workers. She was so caught up on getting away from Adam that she crashed into a group of people.
"Watch where the fuck you're going!" a strong male voice yelled.
Amy looked up and saw the face of Hunter Hearst Helmsely. His face was in a rage. She tried so hard not to cry but it was hard.
"I'm sorry. I didn't know where I was going. I just wanted to..." she stopped at mid-sentence.
Hunter's face immediately softened. "Just wanted to what, Ames? Are you okay?"
"I-I'm fine. I just wanted to go outside for a second. I couldn't breathe in my locker room," Amy stammered.
He looked at her and saw the bruise on her face. Something was not right with Amy. Before Adam, she was happy, full of life, loved her friends and adored her job. Hunter realized Adam maybe the source of her problems.
"What's with that bruise of your face, Ames? Did something or someone happened to you?" Hunter asked as he touched her face gently.
Amy pushed his hand away. "I'd tripped and fell."
"Are you sure about that? It seemed to me someone's hit you bad," he insisted.
"I'm sure. Thank you for your concern, though. Again, I'm sorry for running into you like that." Amy ran past him.
Hunter looked at her and shook his head. Something was not right with her. Why did he care so much for Amy? One reason: he has a crush on her.

Amy ran to her car, breathing heavily. She didn't want to cause anymore problems with Adam today so staying away from him was a good choice.
And what was up with Hunter all of a sudden? This is a man who didn't give a damn about anyone but himself. Oh yeah, there was Ric, Randy and Dave but other than that, he was a selfish, conceited son-of-a-bitch.
But he was so concerned about you, girl. Maybe he knows what's going on with you and Adam. You need to tell someone before its too late, a voice said in her head.
She slid down on the ground and cried her eyes out. Her inner self was right. She needs to talk to someone before Adam ends up killing her.
"Amy! Where in the blue fucking hell are you?" someone yelled.
Speak of the devil, Amy thought. She took a peak through the window of her car and saw him pacing around the parking lot in a fit of rage. She slumped back down on the concrete and held her breath, silently praying he wouldn't find her.
"I'm not playing with your pathetic ass, bitch! Where the fuck are you?" Adam yelled as he approached her car.
Quietly, Amy moved behind another car quickly just as Adam reached her car. He growled as he started heading back to the door.
"You'll have to come back to me sometime, Amy. And when you do, you're gonna learn not to mess with me!" Adam yelled before he walked inside.
When the door closed, Amy took off into the streets, running like someone was after her. She just wanted to get away for a while, to find someplace where she belonged.
To confront the person from her past.

"I'm telling you. Something's wrong with Lita. Normally, I wouldn't care but this is different. Adam is doing something to her," Hunter said to his friends.
Dave shook his head. "You know something? I noticed the change in her myself. I think Edge has something to do with this."
"I agree. I mean, Amy's one of my closest friends and I'll be damned if Adam hurts her in any way," Randy declared before he punched the wall.
"Woo! That's what I'm talking about. We're the strongest force alive!" Ric exclaimed.
Hunter smiled. "Thanks, guys. But, I'm serious about Amy. You think I should talk to her about this?"
"I don't know, man. I heard a rumor that Adam may have something over her. If he does, he'll do just about anything to keep her quiet," Dave revealed.
Hunter sighed. "Oh, you mean what she did in her past? Everyone knows about that. She posted it on her web site."
"Adam's the only one who doesn't know about that? Man, I would hate to see what he would do to her once he finds out." Randy shook her head.
Hunter could only imagine Amy lying in a coffin and buried six feet under if Adam does find out.

Wrapping her arms around herself, Amy walked another mile before she reached her destination. She looked up at the location and began to cry. She never thought she could ever be back here at the place where she grew up at.
With tears running down her face, she walked up the stairs. With her good hand, she reached over and rang the door bell.
"I'm coming!" a gentle female voice yelled.
Amy braced herself when the door open. The woman looked at her and her face went from cheerful to rage.
"What the hell are you doing here?" the woman scolded.
Who is the woman scolding at Amy? And what did she do in her past? Find out in the next chapter!
