Chapter 2
"Why are you sitting in the parking garage? You have a match later" Matt asked as Katie sat on the hood of her rental car. She turned around and gave him a half smile.
"Just thinking" she shrugged.
"About?" Matt questioned sitting next to her.
"Love and all the crazy shit we put up with just to keep trying to experience it" she replied sadly.
"Yea, love can hurt" Matt agreed.
"You love too much and you get dogged out. Usually the ones you don't care about as much are the ones that love you the hardest" Katie sighed.
"Oh yea, that happens" he smiled pushing her hair back from her face.
"I just want to stop the aching in my heart" Katie admitted.
"Let him go. Move on. You are so beautiful Logan. You deserve happiness"
"How do you tell someone they're getting played?" Katie asked.
"Very carefully. You don't want to hurt that person but they need to know that their relationship isn't the same anymore"
"How do you not hurt them?" she implored.
"I don't know babe. You just have to know if they'll be okay with hearing it and believing it" Matt guessed.
"Why did I have to choose Adam over Dave?"
"You like bad boys?" Matt offered.
"Why couldn't I like good boys?" Katie pouted.
"I'm a good guy. If I was single I might have put my moves on you myself" he teased.
"Oh really?" Katie asked eyeing him shyly.
"Oh yea. I'd take you out and show you a good time"
"If I agreed to go out with you" Katie wagged her finger. He grabbed her index finger gently and stared into her amber eyes.
"You would've" he whispered staring at her oddly.
"Would I?" Katie said staring at his lips.
"Oh yea" he flirted.
"Such an ego!" Katie guffawed pulling her finger away.
"I thought you liked confident men"
"I do but…"
"But?" Matt said staring into her eyes.
"I…I need to go" Katie said sliding off the car.
"Okay. If you ever want to talk call me on the A line though, not the B" he said grabbing her hand softly. "Call me on either and I'll answer your call"
"Thanks, I think. A line, B line, next there'll be a C line" Katie grinned as he kissed her on the cheek. His lips lingered there for what felt like minutes. The smell of his cologne was intoxicating. He nudged her cheek with his nose taking in her sweet scent. She slowly pulled away as he stared at her. "Bye" she said hurrying off.
Matt let out a long exasperated breath. His heart was pounding. "If only we could have met before we were involved with other people" Matt grumbled to himself before heading back into the arena.
"Are you serious? Amy Dumas? You kept this from me the whole week!" Trish fumed stomping through the kitchen.
"I needed to think. I started to call Matt but I didn't want to hurt him. I almost told him in the parking garage but I lost my nerve. Maybe Dave was wrong. I don't know. Amy and I talked a few times about relationships and now I'm wondering if she was trying to give me a hint that Adam was the one who made her feel alive again"
"Amy admitted to cheating on Matt?" Trish guffawed.
"No, well in a way I guess. It wasn't my place to tell him, so I called up Jericho and asked for his advice and…"
"Wait, you called Chris before you came to me?" Trish asked in a hurt tone.
"Well, he's close to both Adam and Matt so I figured he could give me an idea on how to approach the situation. You would have told me to kick their asses and ask questions later" Katie accused.
"You know me well," Trish admitted.
"I called Adam and got his voicemail. I've never felt this insecure in a relationship in my life. Questioning if it was something I did or didn't do to keep him happy. Now I'm wondering if they're together"
"Call her at Matt's" Trish said dialing Matt's number. She placed the phone to Katie's ear but she pushed it away. Trish gave an infuriated sigh and placed the phone to her ear. "Hey Matt, Amy home? Oh, visiting an old friend? How's the knee? Hope to see you back at work soon. Tell Amy I called. Yea, Logan is doing just fine. I'll tell her. You take care too. Bye now" Trish said sweetly into the phone before hanging up. "Matt says hi. By the way, why doesn't he call you Katie like the rest of us?" Trish complained.
"I don't know. I never thought about it" Katie shrugged. "Where was she?"
"Visiting an old friend for a few days but he didn't give a state" Trish replied grabbing a bagel from off the plate Katie had on the table.
"That tells us she's possibly with him," Katie said handing Trish the strawberry flavored cream cheese to spread on her bagel.
"Yea, so you and Matt going to bust them or what? He has to be told. Maybe he can straighten her out"
"I don't think so. Amy has a mind of her own. You see how she talks to Matt sometimes? She has him wrapped around her little finger. He'd never believe me" Katie sighed.
"Yes he would, he trusts you" Trish reminded her.
"I guess, but his trust in her outweighs his trust in me"
"You can get him to come to Raw next Monday. No, I've got a better idea! Fozzy's concert is next Thursday night. Matt and Amy will be there. Tell him at the concert" Trish suggested.
"And just how will I do that with Adam by my side and Amy by his? Plus, I need proof. I can't go accusing them of cheating on us all willy nilly"
"What the hell is willy nilly?" Trish mumbled with her mouth stuffed with bagel.
"I'm scared Trish. I'm scared Dave is right"
"Why would he lie? Oh wait, there is that thing where you practically dumped him to date Adam exclusively but other than that…" Trish said nonchalantly as she wiped cream cheese from the corners of her mouth and licked her fingers.
"You know, you say the wrong things at the most inopportune times" Katie laughed.
"Me? Try Chris! You'd better hope he doesn't decide to tell Matt of your suspicions before you" Trish giggled.
"Chris doesn't know about Dave telling me this yet. I held back on a lot of things" Katie explained.
"Ooh, well I kind of left him a message about Dave spilling the beans to you ten minutes ago while you were getting the bagels out of the bread box. Besides, I needed a reason to hear his voice" Trish said guiltily as her cellphone started to ring. "It's Chris," she said in a timid voice staring at the screen.
"This is turning into a nightmare," Katie said stuffing her mouth with a piece of bagel.
Matt stood in the recording studio in Raleigh, North Carolina listening to Katie record a track for her soon to be WWE released CD. He laughed at her facial expressions as she grasped the microphone with an attitude as a funky guitar riff played in the background.
Yea! Yea! Yea!
Get up, get out, move on, move on, there's no doubt
I'm all wrong, you're right. It's all the same with you
I'm too thin, too fat. You ask why? So why? So why? So why?
On and on and on and on. On and on and on and on
Don't wanna grow up, I wanna get out
Hey, take me away
I wanna shout out
Take me away, away, away, away, a-w-ay ay ay
Round and round, here we go again
Same old start, the same old end
Turn my head, I turn back again
Same old stuff, it never ends
Do this, do that
Hey can't help you, deal with that
I tune in, tune out. I've heard it all before
Hello. Goodbye. Never asking me why, goodbye goodbye goodbye
On and on and on and on. On and on and on and on
Don't wanna grow up, I wanna get out
Hey, take me away
I wanna shout out
Take me away, away, away, away, a-w-ay ay ay
Katie took the earphones off and sat them on the chair after her session and walked out the recording room. She walked over and grabbed a bottle of water and took a few sips trying to quench her thirst.
"Sounding good Logan" Matt said causing her to jump and cover her chest.
"You scared the living hell out of me!" Katie shouted.
"An hour break Katie. We're getting some lunch. Want anything?" asked the producer, Donny as he grabbed his jacket and turned to leave with a few of his friends.
"No, I'm good Donny" Katie waved to them as they left. "So, what are you doing here?" Katie said guiding him over to the sofa to sit down.
"Trish called and told me that you had something important to tell me" Matt said shyly. "She said it could affect both of our lives"
"She did?" Katie said thinking of ways to kill Trish Stratus later.
"I think I know what it is," Matt said placing his hand gently over Katie's.
"You do? Who told you? Chris, Dave or Trish?"
"Neither. I figured it out on my own from our conversation a few days ago" Matt said frowning.
"Oh, I'm so sorry. I wanted to tell you but I wanted to be sure about it…"
"I know. I really admire you Logan. I do, but you know that I love Amy, right?"
"Yes, just like I love Adam but just the idea that they would be cheating on us together is just unbelievable" Katie started as Matt quickly snatched his hand away.
"What did you say?" Matt sputtered out.
"That I think Adam and Amy are messing around?"
"What possible…reason could you? Logan, have you lost your mind?" Matt screamed standing up and walking around the studio in circles. "I thought you were about to tell me that…" he trailed off.
"What?" Katie said folding her arms across her chest. She was suddenly feeling cold.
"I thought you were about to tell me that you were in love with me" Matt answered honestly.
"What!" Katie shrieked. The nerve of him assuming to know anything she felt.
"I actually came here to turn you down gently" Matt continued as Katie broke into a fit of laughter. "It's not funny Logan!" Matt seethed.
"I guess you were wrong" she said looking at him with a big smile on her face.
"Honestly, I'd rather that to have been the case. I just knew that you were confessing your love to me," he said more to himself than to her.
"Sorry to disappoint you but if they are messing around, maybe I'll call you up for some revenge sex" Katie teased.
"Logan stop it!" he shouted while grabbing her around the shoulders as if he were trying to shake some sense into her. "I trust Amy and Adam is my friend! Why are you saying all of these crazy things?"
"I haven't gotten proof yet Matt but maybe we can help each other" Katie suggested only adding fuel to the fire that was already building up inside him.
"No! You listen to me and you listen to me good! Don't you ever fucking come to me with this nonsense again! Do you hear me? Do you Logan?" he shouted in her face.
"I hear you but…"
"No buts. I knew from the beginning that you were jealous of Amy and my relationship. Hanging around all the time just to get close to me. I had you pegged right all along. Why would you lie like this Logan?" he asked in a hurt voice.
"I never hung out to get close to you. That just happened. You reached out to me to be friends remember? I'd never lie to you Matt. We're friends," Katie cried.
"You said you had no proof?" he said staring her in the eyes.
"Not yet, which is why I hadn't told you anything yet" Katie said through tears.
"Good because you could have destroyed innocent lives all over some stupid crush you have on me! You make up a story that Adam is cheating on you with my Amy! I'll tell you something Logan, I'm sure Adam is cheating on you but it sure as hell isn't with Amy. I'm out of here!" Matt said practically running out of the studio. Katie sat down and wiped her tears. Not only had she possibly lost Adam but she also may have just lost Matt as a friend.
Katie walked into her house around 1 a.m. She was tired and ready to head straight to bed. She felt dirty. She'd taken care of her mother and headed to the gym. She was rejuvenated but quickly lost her boost of energy on the drive home. She stepped into her room and went straight to the shower and let the warm water massage her aching muscles. She let all of her problems and worries slip away. The fact that she hadn't talked to Adam in two days was washed away. She didn't call him once. It was time for him to start wondering what she was doing for a change. A faint ringing was heard over the shower running. Katie turned the water off and answered her cellphone.
"What are you doing?" Adam asked in a low whisper.
"Busy. Can I get back to you?" Katie asked nicely.
"Why? Where are you?" Adam asked in a harsh tone.
"Adam I'm home" Katie grumbled.
"With who?"
"No one! I'm alone" Katie sighed annoyingly.
"Who were you with? I called you three times at home and your cell was turned off all day. Who were you with Katie?" he demanded.
"I'm so not having this conversation with you right now Adam" she told him calmly.
"Who have you been fucking!" he screamed in her ear.
"What is wrong with you? Who have you been fucking?" Katie challenged.
"I was hanging out with the guys"
"Okay, go back and hang out with them. I'm going to bed"
"With who? Who were you with tonight? Your mother said you weren't at her house" Adam said as if he'd busted her in a lie.
"Adam, I went to the gym okay?"
"You can work out at home or were you getting another type of workout?" he accused.
"You know what? Goodnight Adam" Katie said hanging up and turning off her phone. She finished her shower and wrapped a plush baby blue towel around her body and walked into her bedroom. Before she could make it to the bed she was pushed facedown onto the bed.
"You will learn to respect me" Adam hissed in her ear as he pulled the towel from her body and took her from behind. As he invaded her body with fluid strokes he let her know she was his as long as he wanted her to be. "You are mine, understand me? If I find out that you're fucking somebody else, I'll kill you. Understand me?" he asked grabbing her by her hair. "Answer me!" he shouted.
"I understand. I understand that you are a coward" Katie whimpered out as he grabbed her around the neck and squeezed just enough for her to gasp and struggle to breathe.
"You are such a bitch! You know that? Who are you screwing huh? Who are you losing weight for? You think because you've lost a few pounds that someone will want you?" he asked between groans.
"We'll see who wants me when I get rid of you" Katie gasped.
"Oh really? Well guess what sweetheart? I ain't going nowhere" Adam laughed smugly as the light flicked on.
"What the hell is going on in here?" Trish asked rubbing her eyes. "Get the fuck off of her!" Trish screamed pointing a five-pound weight at Adam that she was holding in her right hand.
"We were just having a little fun. You want to join us?" Adam teased causing Trish to crinkle up her nose as she realized he was halfway clothed. No shirt on and his jeans were bunched around his ankles.
"You wish you could have us both" Trish retorted tucking the weight under her arm. "Everything okay Katie?"
"She's fine," Adam said rubbing Katie's face lovingly. He kissed Katie on the cheek convincing Trish that everything was fine.
"Yea, well keep it down. A Diva is trying to get her beauty sleep," Trish said closing the door behind her and going back to her room.
"Get off of me and I want my house key back" Katie struggled out as he pushed her face into the covers.
"You'll get them when I'm ready to give them back. You know when that will be? Never" he said letting her up.
"Why did you do that?" Katie inquired as he stepped out of his pants.
"You like it rough" he answered sliding under the covers.
"Only when we both agree. What were you thinking?" she said wiping tears from her eyes.
"You liked it" he insisted.
"No, actually I didn't" Katie said heading back to the bathroom to take a shower.
"Where are you going?" he demanded.
"To wash any remnants of you off of me" Katie answered honestly.
"You have someone else don't you?" Adam asked pulling the covers up over his chest.
"No, I believe you're the one who's guilty of cheating" she responded.
"Prove it. I'm doing nothing wrong. I haven't changed, you have" he insisted.
"You're right, you haven't changed. Be out of my house by the time I'm out of the shower" Katie told him going into the bathroom and closing the door. A few minutes later Adam slipped into the shower and made love to her slow and gentle. He was filled with regret and apologies. He made promises. Promises Katie knew he couldn't keep. He placed the ring he'd given her on her right fourth finger onto her left fourth finger. Later as they lay in her bed Katie slipped the ring back on the fourth finger of her right hand. She didn't trust Adam anymore and she refused to be engaged to a man that she couldn't trust. She decided she was going to have to find out once and for all if Adam was being unfaithful to her.
A few days later
"Hey, what are you doing?" Katie asked in a low voice placing her cell phone between her shoulder and ear. It was early Sunday evening and she sat in a rental car down the street from the hotel Adam was staying at. She'd told him that she was staying in a room with Trish since they'd had a photo shoot together the day before. After an hour she got up the nerve to call Matt.
"Chatting online" Matt answered adjusting the phone on his ear.
"Oh. Is Amy around?" Katie asked.
"No, she's visiting her mother for a few days since she have a few weeks off. You calling about the new storyline starting between you two or to start trouble?" Matt asked as he typed.
"No, this is about business. Don't do this Matt. Don't shut me out. I didn't call to cause trouble. I miss talking to you" Katie admitted.
"Well, long as you're not starting shit. I missed talking to you too but you should be trying to bust Adam. I've never gotten involved with another person's relationship but you should be careful. Adam Copeland has a record of fucking up his relationships, hence his marriage to Val Venis' sister" Matt warned her.
"Be honest Matt, if Amy cheated on you, would and could you ever forgive her?" Katie asked curiously.
"Mmm, I don't know. It's hard to say. I don't think I'd give up on the relationship. If she was to cheat again then no I wouldn't stay in the relationship. Satisfied?" Matt replied.
"So, one chance to make it right and that's it?"
"Yes. Fool me once, then shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me" Matt retorted.
"I see. Well, I'll try to get Amy another time. Tell her I called"
"Hey, stop hurting yourself. Adam obviously doesn't care about your feelings. If he truly loved you, he'd be faithful and true to you Logan. He'd be with you right now telling you how much he loved you while massaging your back and feet. You deserve a good healthy relationship. If I knew of someone I'd hook you up but everyone I know is taken" Matt joked trying to ease the tension between them.
"Well, it's the thought that counts. Especially the massaging my back and feet part" Katie smiled.
"Yea, you know me. Full of romance, good advice and wisdom" Matt bragged.
"Yea, you're definitely full of something" Katie teased before hanging up with him. Katie sat outside of Adam's hotel until she saw his car leaving the parking lot. Although the windows of his sports car were tinted she could see that he wasn't alone. As she started the rental car she noticed a black SUV following Adam's car down the street. It wasn't too close but far back enough to be inconspicuous. Katie drove a few cars behind Adam and the SUV. Something was going on and Katie was determined to find out what it was.
Late Sunday night after a packed house show Adam sat in a quiet corner booth of a popular club making out with Amy when Katie walked up and snatched Amy by the hair.
"What the hell is going on here?" Katie snarled as her face turned a shade of red that scared both Adam and Amy.
"Nothing! We were just hanging out having drinks" Amy answered pulling away from her and nervously trying to fix her clothes.
"You were practically in his fucking lap bitch!" Katie said charging at Amy as Adam tried to pull her off of her so she kneed him in the groin and went after Amy until a burly bouncer pulled her off of Amy whose mouth was busted open.
"Excuse me ladies, excuse me" continued a dark haired man with glasses making his way over to the table with a short brunette. "My name is Joey Greco, I'm from the television show Cheaters. This young lady next to me hired us to follow her boyfriend Adam here. We get here to confront him and you two are already fighting over him. Can someone please explain what's going on?" Joey asked.
"What? I'm his girlfriend. We basically live together! I just caught him in here with her" Katie squeaked out pointing at a pissed off Amy. She then eyed the brunette with the swollen red eyes. She'd been crying. Katie realized there were cameras. "Is this on live television?" Katie asked.
"No, but it will air in a few weeks on television" Joey answered. "So, you were the blond coming out of his house these past few weeks. This lady, Devon has been dating Adam for three months and wanted to know why he stopped returning her calls or answering his phone after he gets home off the road" Joey explained.
"Why Adam!" Devon screamed laying punches to Adam's face.
"I'm sorry! I lied! Katie and I sorta live together but Amy and I are just co-workers who hang out" Adam tried explaining. "Turn off the fucking camera's!" he demanded pushing one of the cameramen down.
"Hey! Restrain him! We have some footage of you in your house with Miss Dumas. Devon placed a camera inside your bedroom" Joey continued pulling out a camera showing Adam and Amy being intimate in his bedroom to Katie. The date showed it being four days after New Year's.
"You had both of them in your house? In the bed we sleep in together? That's it, it's over" Katie said walking away after seeing enough of Adam and Amy having sex on tape.
"Shit! Is this what you motherfucker's do? Go around ruining people's lives?" Adam screamed running after Katie. A few guys in the club who recognized him, pushed him and threw a few drinks on him as he struggled to squeeze through the crowd to the exit as Cheaters cameramen followed close behind him.
"Edge sucks!" a few rowdy guys shouted from the club. "I'll love you Katie!" another shouted.
"Katie hold up! Wait!" Adam screamed running over to her car as she got inside. He stood blocking her from closing the door. "Let's talk. These jerkoffs don't know what's going on. Amy and I were hanging out after the house show," Adam said calmly.
"Move Adam, so I can close my door" Katie asked him nicely.
"You mad?" he asked with a dumbfounded look on his face.
"No, actually I'm relieved and appreciative" Katie laughed as people from the club who recognized them spilled out into the parking lot and started shouting obscenities at Adam and Amy who ran and got the keys from Adam to get his car.
"You screwed Matt!" chants were shouted at Amy.
"I'll get you later bitch!" Katie threatened.
"Bring it on anytime!" Amy taunted as Katie got out of the car and punched her in the face knocking her against a van. They threw a few blows at one another before the Cheaters crew separated them. Katie threw a chunk of red hair at Amy before Devon attacked Amy from behind. They ended up on the ground before the bodyguards restrained them.
"Why would you play these three women Adam? Do you see what you've caused?" Joey Greco asked. "We'll give you a ride to wherever you need to go. Just talk to Devon, she deserves some type of closure too"
"You want closure?" Adam shouted like an infant having a tantrum. "She was just a piece of ass chumpstain! That's it! Let me talk to my girlfriend! Baby, come here. I'm sorry. We can go somewhere alone to talk" he whined to Katie as Amy drove past them in his car.
"You coming or what?" Amy asked hitting the brake.
"No, I'm trying to talk to Katie right now" Adam shouted causing Amy to get angry and speed out of the parking lot.
"Well, it looks as if you don't have a ride Adam," said Joey Greco.
"He's not riding with me," Devon cried as Joey consoled her in his arms.
"Look at this mess that you've caused. All you had to do was be honest. I could have moved on and you and Devon or Amy could be together. I trusted and believed in you and look at what happened to me? You screwed me," Katie said bursting into tears. Adam tried to hold her but she pulled away. She walked back to the car and got in as he held the car door open. She shook her head and looked at him sadly. "It's over. You're tainted to me. I can never be with you again. I'm moving on to find a man to love and respect me," Katie said starting the car.
"Why do that sweetie? You know that I respect you, right?" he asked in a soothing voice as he squatted down and leaned over in the car trying to kiss her. "You know you love me. We belong together. Take me by the hotel so I can get my car from Amy and we can go talk somewhere"
"Talking is over. When were you going to tell me? When were you two going to tell Matt?"
"There's nothing to tell! We were feeling lonely without you two on the road with us so we decided to hang out"
"Adam, you're in denial. You two were on tape! Fucking! I'm so over you. Devon, he's your problem now" Katie said taking off with her door slamming shut from the jolt of the car.
Adam jumped out of the way just in time as she took off down the street. He walked over to the Cheaters show host. "Mr. Geico…"
"Greco" Joey corrected him.
"Looks like I'll be taking you up on that offer for a ride after all" Adam said running his fingers through his long blonde hair as he realized Katie was gone and it was a matter of time before Matt got wind of the situation. Shit! This was going to be on TV too. Vince McMahon was going to kill him!
"Tonight's Raw is going to be awesome. I knew I had to come to tonight's show. You seen Adam?" Matt asked Jay as he entered the dressing room.
"Shh…he's hiding in the shower area" Jay whispered.
"Why?" Matt laughed out loud as he set his travel bag against the bench.
"Katie caught him with another woman last night. She won't answer her cellphone. Now he's afraid she may have lost her mind and will snap at any time" Jay explained as Chris Jericho walked into the locker room.
"Damn! That's crazy. So, why is he hiding, again?" Matt asked.
"Because that assclown is a dirtbag ho. He begged for another chance and he couldn't last two months? That's cold" Jericho fussed. "You'll be at my concert Thursday?"
"Yea, Amy and I will be there" Matt answered as Adam peeped around the corner.
"You guys seen her?" he asked nervously.
"No" Jay said shaking his head. "Katie isn't a psycho Adam"
"Logan was right outside the door awhile ago but I think she had second thoughts about knocking and put the gun away," Matt said sitting down on the bench. "Just joking" he grinned as Adam's eyes bulged.
"Don't play like that man! I'm on edge here. Pardon the pun" he said through a half grin.
"So, what's your plan? Do you still want to be with her or what?" Jay interrogated.
Adam stared at the floor. "I don't know what I want right now. I love her but my feelings have changed over the past month. We have our ups and downs but we always work it out. Katie can have any guy she wants but she chose me. I guess I just have a hard time dealing with guys ogling her all of the time. Matt, you haven't by any chance talked to Katie last night huh?" Adam probed.
"Why? Was she supposed to call me?" Matt asked feeling a little uneasy.
"No, just wondered" Adam shrugged lacing up his boots.
"I talked to Katie last night for awhile" Jericho said eyeing Adam to let him know that he knew the situation. "Why not break it off with her before screwing around?"
"I have no idea. I didn't expect to cheat" Adam replied indignantly.
"Maybe it's because deep down you wanted to get caught" Matt cut in. Adam stared at Matt nervously.
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Adam grunted.
"By you getting caught it saved you from having to tell her you no longer wanted to be in a relationship with her anymore. That way, she breaks up with you" Matt explicated.
"Hardy, you're a genius when it comes to this shit" Jericho chuckled.
"No, I just think Adam needs to face up to his infidelity and talk to Logan and then try to move on with someone she doesn't know" Matt implicated. "Don't be an asshole"
"You're right. I need to talk to Katie but I don't know if I can give up having sex with her" Adam sighed.
"Dude! Either move on, or make it up to her. You can't have it both ways" Jay reminded him.
"Not that he won't try" Matt chuckled.
"I know" Adam nodded. "But it would be so awesome to try" he thought to himself.
"You wanna go to Jericho's concert with me?" Katie asked in shock as Dave Batista stood in front of her in a dark business suit. Dave always looked good in a suit. Not many men could pull off wearing a light pink shirt and dark pink tie, but Dave could. He reminded her of a dangerous hitman. He was just too damn sexy.
"Yea, Jericho gave me tickets so…what do you think? We could go together?"
"I think that would be cool" Katie said in a giddy voice as Amy walked around the corner and paused at the sight of her.
"Katie, can I talk to you alone?" Amy asked cutting her eyes at Dave.
"I'll see you later at the hotel" Dave said heading towards his dressing room.
"I see you're moving on pretty quickly" Amy accused.
"What do you want?" Katie asked getting on the defense.
"Look, I didn't set out to hurt you or Matt. I don't even know if Adam and I are even going to work out but I'd like the chance to find out" Amy said rubbing the bruise on her face given to her courtesy of Devon the night before and a split lip thanks to Katie.
"You can have Adam. It's over and I'm never turning back so he's all yours"
"Don't tell Matt. Let me tell him in my own way"
"Amy, if you continue to lie to him he'll be really pissed if he hears it from someone else. You have nerve asking me for a favor. Unlike you and Adam, I'm not trying to destroy lives. I need to go before I'm tempted to choke the shit out of you" Katie laughed.
"I didn't mean to hurt you"
"Yea, you just meant to pump me for information about Adam and my problems so that you could use it against me. Honestly, I see Adam in a whole new light. He's not the type of guy I'd usually date anyway. Oh, like that song "Karma" by Alicia Keys says, "What goes around comes back around" Katie said pushing past Amy as the tears she'd been holding back spilled down her cheeks. She refused to let Amy see her in pain.

TheSenseiOfMattitude: Uh oh
Sage: What did I do?
Matt Hardy: I just got a look at Whisperin's pic and guess what?
Jacob's Ladder F'N Broke: She's ugly? NOOOOOO!
Matt Hardy: Her face is blocked out in the pic. Come on Sage!
WhisperinNMattsEar: Gotcha! LOL
BenjaminRules: No way!
Sage: Check out the Multimedia section guys. Pics of my lunch with Whisperin.
Matt Hardy: Okay Whisperin and Sage. You two got me. Who are you?
WhisperinNMattsEar : I'm just a girl who loves her job.
Matt Hardy: And that is…
WhisperinNMattsEar : To drive you insane. J/K
Sage: We thought it would be funny
ToniaLuvsKatz: Well, we know Whisperin is a girl. Can you tell me what she really looks like? IM me
Sage: OK
TheSenseiOfMattitude: Me too
Jacob's Ladder F'N Broke: This is so unfair…
Matt Hardy: You're telling me!
ToniaLuvsKatz: Oh my God! I have the real pic!
BenjaminRules: I wanna see
BeenThereDoneThat: It's Linda McMahon! LOL
Matt Hardy: What?
Sage: No it's not! Send it to Sensei only Tonia
ToniaLuvsKatz: Okay
TheSenseiOfMattitude: You are kidding me right? Whisperin rocks!
MzJessicaHardy: Okay, she's a brunette. Hmm, Victoria?
Sage: LOL No
ToniaLuvsKatz: Uh uh
Matt Hardy: Do I know her?
TheSenseiOfMattitude: Judging from her face… yea!
Matt Hardy: Do I work with her?
Sage: Possibly
Matt Hardy: In twenty-four hours I'll know who she is
Sage: Only three of us have the original pic. If it gets out I'll know who to come after.
Matt Hardy: You're pretty quiet Whisperin. Nervous?
WhisperinNMattsEar : Just enjoying the moment
Matt Hardy: But for how long? (Matt Hardy signed off)
ToniaLuvsKatz:He's pissed you guys
WhisperinNMattsEar : He'll be okay
MzJessicaHardy: Well, welcome to the board but you've been here all along. Now we have somewhat of a face.
BeenThereDoneThat: Glad to know you're legit and the info is real you give us
Jacob's Ladder F'N Broke : Whisperin, we've been corresponding for almost a year. You're telling me that I've been talking to a WWE employee?
WhisperinNMattsEar : Can't say
Jacob's Ladder F'N Broke: Long as your not Trish, Torrie, Molly, or Katie. If you are I think I'd kill myself if I was talking to a hot Diva and didn't know it. I'm emailing you my number. Call me. Please?
Sage: You guys are losing it. This is still the same old Whisperin from the beginning of this board. Let's treat her the same.
"Get into Sage, ToniaLuvsKatz, or TheSenseiOfMattitude email files. I want to know who the hell Whisperin is," Matt said to Shane Tuesday night as Amy sat back on the sofa talking on the phone.
"Okay, I'm on it" Shane said stroking the keys of the keyboard like a madman.
"That was weird," Amy said hanging up the phone.
"What was?" Matt asked.
"Trish said that she and Katie have to pull out on the whitewater rafting trip with us this weekend" Amy said with a sigh of relief.
"What?" Matt asked.
"Yea, Trish totally had an attitude with me" Amy shrugged rubbing the mark under her eye where Devon had punched her a few days before. She told Matt she slipped and fell in the shower.
"Well, maybe they have something to do. I mean Katie's mom is sick pretty often" Shane offered.
"Maybe, but she's been acting weird with me for the past month. I don't care for Katie too much lately. I think we should stop hanging around her. I haven't decided whether to cut Trish loose or not but we'll see" Amy admitted.
"You never mentioned anything to me" Matt said suspiciously.
"I didn't think it was serious" Amy answered staring at the phone. "I'm heading out for some ice cream. You guys want anything?"
"No" Shane said staring at the screen of Matt's laptop.
"No thanks baby" Matt replied walking over to see what Shane was mumbling about. "What is it?"
"WhisperinNMattsEar, Sage and ToniaLuvsKatz have top security on their PC's. I found a file named WhisperinNMattsEar on Sensei's hard drive. Voila!" Shane said turning the laptop into Matt's view.
Matt let out a yelp. "No fucking way!" he roared with laughter as he looked at a doctored picture of WhisperinNMattsEar but his face had been pasted over hers with a note saying, "Nice try Hardy and Helms!"
"They're on to us. Now they're starting to piss me off!" Shane said in an annoying tone staring at the screen.
Thursday Night: Fozzy Concert
"Hey Katie, I was wondering if you had talked to Adam?" Jay asked as Katie sat doing yoga in the middle of the room backstage before the Fozzy concert Thursday night.
"Nope" Katie answered quickly.
"Why are you, meditating?"
"Chris asked me to perform tonight. Kind of an open act, so I'm loosening up" Katie smiled.
"So, you know about Amy and Adam huh?" Jay asked uncomfortably.
"Yep, how long did you know?"
"Since November, but its not like I wanted to know. It was none of my business but I definitely don't agree with the way they did things" Jay answered sitting down next to her.
"I don't blame you, they're both adults. So, are they still seeing each other?" Katie asked wondering why she was being a glutton for punishment.
"I think they're in love. Atleast that's what Adam is saying. He can't stop talking about her. He's had a thing for her since he met her years ago but kept his distance because of Matt" Jay revealed.
"And what changed now?" Katie asked sarcastically.
"Opportunity. Matt was out with an injury and Adam has changed. Possibly for the worst but he went after what he wanted but I don't think he intended to fall in love with her. I thought it was lust but I guess things happen for a reason," Jay said sadly. "Adam is like a bro to me but you were the best thing that ever happened to him. He'll never admit it so I'm speaking for him"
"Thanks Jay. I still love you. We'll still be cool," Katie said hugging him tightly as Dave Batista walked into the dressing room.
"Hey Jay. Katie, Jericho says you're on in thirty minutes" Batista informed her as he pulled his shades off. "You look good" he nodded eyeing her peach blouse, black leather pants and jacket.
"Well, good luck out there tonight" Jay said heading out as Katie stretched.
"Just so you know, Copeland is here backstage. I saw him talking to Jericho" Batista warned.
"I don't even care right about now. Can you stay with me a few more minutes?" she asked fidgeting with her hands.
"Sure. I'll stay as long as you want me to" he replied with a dazzling smile.
"What are you two doing in here? I thought I told you to head to your seat Copeland?" Jericho asked as Adam and Amy stood talking in his dressing room.
"Nothing, just talking" Amy answered a little too quickly. She looked flustered and guilty as hell. "We're talking about your concert tonight," she said trying to catch her breath.
"We just needed a private place to talk" Adam said with a hint of cockiness in his voice that set Jericho off.
"I see. So, you two over each other or are you using my sanctuary as a hideout?" Jericho accused. "Just so you two dirty little rapscallions know, I don't have a bed in here" Jericho sneered.
"Look Chris, this isn't any of your damn business" Adam hissed. Amy touched his chest.
"My dressing room, my business junior!" Jericho shouted looking around his dressing room.
"Don't, he wants us to piss him off. He likes being provoked. Don't give him the satisfaction" Amy begged of Adam.
"Please, you think I won't tell on you guys without being pissed? Boy, you two assclown's really don't know me do? You think you know me? You think you know me?" Chris sang the lyrics to Adam's old WWE theme song. "You see, I thought I knew you but you're not the old Adam I respected. You know, the old Adam who could be trusted with another friend's girlfriend?"
"Hey, we realize that us being together is going to hurt a lot of people. Why do you think we're trying to figure out a way to be together and not hurt anyone? Matt is such a holier than though, positive son of a bitch! He's making this harder than it should be. Come to think of it, nothing but positive things can come from this for him" Adam chuckled.
"Adam stop it!" Amy implored.
"Why? You're the only one keeping us apart. Get rid of Hardy and it's all about us" he said kissing her roughly on the lips as Jericho stood there with his arms folded across his chest with a look of disgust on his face.
"Ugh! Stop it! You two are sick puppies. Okay, I'll tell you two what I'm going to do for you. Since you two crazy kids are all gung ho on being together and all I'm going to help you. I'm telling Matt about you two, tonight!" Chris said smugly leading them out of his dressing room.
"What? No!" Amy screamed.
"Jericho, you do and so help me…I'll kick you're ass!" Adam threatened.
"You know Copeland, you should know better than to threaten me. Now, I have to do what I have to do" Jericho sighed sadly. "Well, you two kids go have a seat, the show is about to start" Jericho said in a chipper voice.
"Wait, you're not really going to tell Matt are you?" Amy questioned.
"Enjoy the show" Jericho laughed closing the door on Adam calling him a son of a bitch.
"This is awesome. Katie sounds good," Beth shouted in Jeff's ear.
"You knew she was singing tonight?" Jeff asked Adam who sat next to Beth.
"No, we haven't talked in a few days" Adam told him slouching in the seat.
"On bad terms huh? Man, rock music isn't so bad" Shane shouted to Matt who was watching Amy stare at the stage with a distant look in her eyes.
"You okay baby?" Matt asked grabbing her hand tightly.
"Yea, everything's good" Amy assured him squeezing his hand gently as Jay and Batista made their way to their seats.
"You guys made it!" Amy waved to Trish and Christy Hemme coming through the crowd.
"Yea, just in time" Christy said as Trish purposely made her sit next to Amy.
Matt noticed the look on Amy's face. It was a look of hurt. What could Trish possibly be mad at Amy about? He hoped it wasn't Logan's crazy allegations about her and Adam. Matt decided to focus on the concert and not think negatively. Logan finished her song as Jericho came out and they did a rock rendition of Prince and Sheena Easton's song "You've Got The Look" Logan was wearing the appropriate colors, peach and black. Matt had to laugh at their crazy antics onstage as they went into a rendition of "I Love Rock-N-Roll." They were both trying to be sexy with one another. The look on Trish's face was a whole different story. He had to remember to tell Jericho that Trish had a thing for him. Logan came out after the set and sat next to Batista who placed his arm around her shoulder causing Adam to throw evil glances their way for the rest of the concert. Matt guessed Adam could dish it out but he couldn't take it. At the end of the show Jericho stepped to the microphone.
"I'm closing the show tonight with a song about a cool guy who happens to be out of the loop when it comes to knowing that his girl and good friend are humping one another behind his back. They were even busted on the TV show, "Cheaters." "This is for him, so here goes…"
"Oh my God" Katie gasped eyeing Matt who looked totally happy standing there holding Amy's hand in his. He smiled at Katie but his smile waned when he saw her pulling on Dave's hand and whispering something frantically in his ear.
"Oh shit" Dave muttered as Jay sat up in his seat and motioned for Adam to leave with him. Adam followed Jay to the exit quickly as Amy sat down and placed her head in her lap.
"What's going on?" Matt asked Dave.
"I think it's time to roll out" Trish whispered to Christy.
"Matt, wanna step out and talk to me buddy?" Batista shouted down to Matt as Jericho stepped up to the end of the stage. It was too late.
Matty doesn't know that Amy and Adam do it in his car every Monday night.
Says she's flying out to her friend's house, but it's Adam's house and she's constantly on her knees and…
Matty doesn't know, no Matty doesn't know-ow. Don't tell Matty, Matty doesn't know. Matty doesn't know. Matty doesn't know. Matty doesn't know. Matty doesn't know. Matty doesn't know.
Matt's mouth fell open and looked over at Amy who was looking up at him with regret.
Amy says that she's out shopping, but she's under Adam and he's not stopping!
Cause Matty doesn't know, Matty doesn't know. Don't tell Matty, Matty doesn't know. Matty doesn't know. Matty doesn't know. Matty doesn't know.
Matt looked at Jeff and Beth who were both covering their mouths in pure horror. Matt then realized that Adam had cut out.
I can't believe that he's so trusting, while he's right behind her thrusting!
Matty doesn't know, Matty doesn't know. Matty doesn't know. Matty doesn't know. Matty doesn't know. Don't tell Matty, Matty doesn't know. Matty doesn't know.
Amy's got Matt on the phone… and she's trying not to moan.
It's a three-way call and he knows nothing. Nothing!
Matty doesn't know. Matty doesn't know. Matty doesn't know. Don't tell Matty, Matty doesn't know. Matty doesn't know. So don't tell Matty. Matty doesn't know. Matty doesn't know. Matty doesn't know. Matty doesn't know.
"Oh my God! It's true?" Matt asked a weeping Amy.
"Matt, let's go back to the hotel and talk" Amy pleaded trying to pull him to the exit but he jerked away from her to hear the rest of Jericho's song.
The parking lot, why not? Just as long as she's on top. She's bragging that they're in love. Adam is too. Matty they're playing you for a fool.
Matty doesn't know. Matty doesn't know. Matty doesn't know. Matty doesn't know. Matty doesn't know. Don't tell Matty. Matty doesn't know-ow. Matty doesn't know.
Matty's gotta know. I'm gonna tell Matty. Matty's gotta know. Gonna tell him myself! Matty's gotta know. Matty's gotta know. Matty's gotta know. Amy's gotta go. Matty doesn't know. Matty doesn't know. Matty doesn't know. Matty doesn't know. Matty doesn't know."
The arena was loud and cheering, "Matty doesn't know!" not knowing it was Matt Hardy that the song was meant for. Matt turned back to Amy whose face was ashen. Logan looked fit to be tied. The look of sadness and pity on her face made Matt's blood boil. One, because she looked so damn innocent standing at the end of the row with Dave. Two, everyone knew he was being played for a fool and didn't tell him. Logan tried to but he flat out called her a liar. He grabbed Amy's hand and pulled her toward him. "We need to talk alone. Guys we're leaving. Tell Jericho that it was in poor taste what he did but I appreciate it all the same" Matt said leaving with Amy.
"This is a crazy night" Christy laughed as she and Trish headed out behind Matt and Amy.
"Yea, I have a feeling it's about to get worse" Trish whispered.
"Katie, I'm so sorry about what Adam and Amy did to you and Matt. It was really a two-faced thing to do. I'd never cross the line like that" Stacy Keibler said in a sweet voice as Katie got dressed an hour before Raw a few weeks later after Vince made her take a week off. Katie knew she meant what she said.
"Thanks Stace. Everyone has been looking at me as if they are waiting for me to explode" Katie sighed.
"They are" Victoria said from behind her. "She'd be dead if she did that shit to me" Victoria said giving Katie a big hug.
"No, I can handle Amy. I'm totally cool. I've cried for the past week. Adam and I are over. I can handle seeing them and not killing them. Anything I left at his house he can have. Things can be replaced" Katie said through a half smile.
"You are so brave" Stacy smiled rubbing her shoulder.
"While I'm thinking about it, I have the perfect guy for you" Katie grinned at Stacy.
"Really? Is he cute?" Stacy asked excitedly.
"Yes, and you know him. Shane Helms. I think you two would make a cute couple. Two good people who deserve each other" Katie told her.
"Wow, I never thought of going there with Shane but he's sweet. I'll consider it" Stacy nodded.
"You've just had you're world torn apart and here you are playing matchmaker for Stacy and Shane. Honestly, I have a whole new level of respect for you. You rock Katie" Victoria said heading to the showers.
"Yea Katie, you really do have a good heart and God will bless you with good things in your life" Stacy said before heading to her bag to start getting ready for Raw.
Katie walked to the vending machine for a Mountain Dew Code Red. As she got the bottle from the machine and stood upright she felt someone standing behind her. She turned to see Adam standing there looking sad.
"I've been trying to catch you all night. People are waiting to see how we react to one another. I've been calling you all weekend. Can you come to my hotel room tonight?" Adam asked looking around to make sure no one was looking.
"No, there's no use. We're over. I'm aware of the situation being made public on Cheater's but you will have to deal with the backlash of people hating you yourself." Katie said placing her right hand on her hip.
"Look Katie, I love you. I just so happen to have fallen in love with Amy too. I know I can't have you both. She knew I wanted her years ago but she wasn't ready to be with me. I guess that after we got together she realized that she wanted to be with me. You showed love to me but I guess I wanted more from you. More attention would have been nice. I understand that your mother has been ill but there were times when I needed you and you just weren't available so I let Amy console me and we fell in love" Adam confessed.
"Well, if I had any doubts about leaving you alone you've definitely sealed my decision. My mother comes before you or anybody else. If you thought I'd drop things with my mother who is fighting cancer then you didn't deserve to be with me anyway. Get out of my sight and if you even think about calling me I'll have a restraining order placed against you" Katie said vehemently.
"I said I was sorry. I'll always care for you but I want to see if things can work out with Amy"
"Go ahead, she'll cheat on you too. She did it with Matt and a few boyfriends before him which surprises me that Matt was so surprised by her actions. Like Goldberg used to say, "Adam, your next" Katie laughed before walking away from him feeling like she had a new lease on life.
"So she wants to be with Adam?" Jeff guffawed as Matt sat on the end of the sofa in tears.
"Yea, I can't force her to stay. I told her to go be with him," Matt said with contempt. "Six years! I gave that girl my all and she does this" he said wiping tears from his eyes
"She never really liked me so, I really won't miss her" Shane shrugged handing him a Kleenex.
"Can't you be just a little sensitive here?" Shannon shouted. "Our boy here is in pain" Shannon said handing Matt a cold beer.
"Sorry Matt. I didn't mean anything by it" Shane said apologetically.
"It's okay" Matt assured him before taking a drink from the bottle of beer.
"So, where do you go from here?" Jeff asked curiously.
"Throw all of her things out and start dating. I can't just lie down and die. I'm going to erase her from my life. Well, atleast have fun trying" Matt grinned at Jeff.
"Wish I could hang out with you to find chicks but Beth would kill me" Jeff chuckled.
"She'd kill me for having you around single women" Matt smiled.
"Well, I'm single and I'll help you mend you're broken heart. Remember the Brennan twins?" Shane questioned Matt.
"Yea, Bailey and Hailey?"
"Single and still feeling you. You there with me tonight?" Shane asked pulling out his cell phone.
"Oh yea, call them up. I'm ready and willing" Matt assured him.
"So, he found out at the concert?" asked Chelsea Logan as she sat a tray of tea down on the coffee table.
"Yes! I felt so bad for Matt" Katie told her mother as she poured herself a cup of tea. It was the following Tuesday and Katie had been through the ringer over the past few days. Trying to avoid Adam and Amy backstage at the house shows and Raw were stressful. Shane Helms had gotten into a shoving match with Adam in the locker room causing Jay and Batista to have to separate them. Adam had a few choice words for Batista about wanting to get into Katie's pants that landed him on his ass. Katie was called into Vince McMahon's office to discuss if she was able to remain professional backstage with Amy and Adam. She told him she could and Vince offered her a chance for a Women's title run if she maintained her professionalism backstage. Vince told her he'd have the contract drawn up and it would be ready for her to sign in four weeks. He was giving her two months off to heal her broken heart and work on her CD. Katie thanked him and headed out the office as Jericho brushed past her to go into Vince's office. Hour's later Jericho ranted about Vince blaming him partly for the situation. Jericho then told Vince that he hadn't, "Gotten Cheater's to follow Adam and put our situation on television" and he surely didn't "Force anyone to cheat and do it so sloppily". Then he said, "It's not like Matt and Katie are crazy enough to get revenge on the two assclowns. I mean Matt is banging really hot chicks right now. He's probably doing one right now and Katie is getting cozy with Dave Batista. She's moved up to dating the WWE champ. I think they're moving on and won't cause any tension backstage"
"He told Vince that? That Chris Jericho is a character" Chelsea laughed heartily.
"Yes he did. Then he tells us that Vince got this weird look in his eye and tells him he just gave him this great idea" Katie informed her.
"What was it?" Chelsea asked pulling the scarf off of her baldhead.
"I don't know. All I know is that I have a few months off and I'm going to enjoy it" Katie sighed propping her feet up on the table.
"You talked to Matt?"
"No, he's throwing himself back into the dating scene pretty hard. I'm letting him enjoy himself before calling to check on him" Katie grinned. "From what Shane tells me, he's real-ly making up for lost time" Katie winked at her mom.
"My kind of man" Chelsea sighed. "Cute too. I remember when you had the biggest crush on Matt. Those Hardy Boyz posters all over you're walls. I figured you'd be dating him by now"
"Naw, he was taken. Plus my feelings for him changed after I met him. He's cool but not boyfriend material for me" Katie suspired.
"No more bad boys?"
"Matt is far from a bad boy. No more bad boys" Katie promised.
"Good. I want you with a good man before I leave this earth"
"Mom! Stop talking like that!" Katie fussed.
"We know it will happen eventually" she retorted.
"I just don't like thinking about it" Katie whined crawling next to her mother and laying her head on her shoulder. Chelsea hugged her tight and rocked her like she did as a child.
"You deserve a man who will honor and love you more than life itself. That's all Mamas' want that for their little girls. You're my baby and I'll send you a good man from heaven if I have to. I promised your father I'd keep the law firm going and get you a husband before he died"
"I believe you would" Katie murmured. "Dad was always looking for Mel and I a husband. He found her one and was working on mine. He did get rid of Drew though. Dad was larger than life. I miss him. I can't believe its been five years. He would have run Adam off quick!" Katie sighed.
"I never liked Adam for you anyway. One, he was too skinny. Two, he looked sneaky. Three, he was sneaky. Four, he was a low down snake in the grass which is ironic since he slithers into the ring during his entrance. Five, he wasn't that attractive. Now Cena, he was hot. Adam was lukewarm. Six, Adam had way too many teeth in his mouth. I'd be scared to let him go down on me. With all of those teeth he'd probably accidentally give you a hysterectomy" Chelsea said as Katie let out a gasp and slapped her on the arm.
"Mom! Stop talking like that! Moms don't talk like that. They're supposed to bake cookies and give good advice" Katie grinned.
"I'm a mother of the millennium. We keep it real"
"Keep it real? Stop talking hip! It doesn't suit a lady lawyer" Katie teased.
"See Katie, I can be hip and be a successful lawyer at the same time"
"Lord, I have a crazy Mom" Katie shouted up to the ceiling.
"You're just jealous because you can't see me," Chelsea said giving her best John Cena impression.
"I love you mom. Forever and ever" Katie said hugging her mom tight trying to make the moment last as long as she could. Chelsea kissed her on the top of her head and started humming a Martina McBride song.
"Sing with me like we used to" Chelsea whispered against her hair.
"Okay, we'll sing together" Katie smiled looking into her mother's amber eyes as she started to sing "God's Will" by Martina McBride.
"I love you mama. I'm blessed everyday that God gives us the chance to have moments like this" Katie said through tears.
"I love you too. I'll love you even more when you give me some grandchildren to carry on our bloodline"
"Melanie has Heather to do that" Katie reminded her.
"I want you to procreate too. Now I'll just have to find the right man" Chelsea pondered as she sat her chin on top of Katie's shoulder and held her close.
MzJessicaHardy: No more Matt and Amy?
TheSenseiOfMattitude: Unfortunately, yes.
WhisperinNMattsEar: Sad news, so let's be supportive of Matt in his time of need.
Sage: We're all going to send him a gift so if you guys want to contribute by adding something to the jumbo card, e-mail me your message.
Jacob's Ladder F'N Broke : Should we send something to Katie too? I mean she's been screwed over too. I think I remember reading somewhere online that she loves to collect things with butterflies on it.
TheSenseiOfMattitude: You're right, I'll come up with something for her
ToniaLuvsKatz: I'll throw together a few ideas as well
Jacob's Ladder F'N Broke: I'll head down to Raleigh and give her a little southern comfort.
Matt Hardy: I'll be sure to tell her.
MzJessicaHardy: Hey Matt, you holding up okay?
Matt Hardy: Yea, holding up pretty well.
BeenThereDoneThat: Dating hot chicks is the best way to get over a broken heart
Matt Hardy: Yea, it's definitely not bad
Jacob's Ladder F'N Broke: Are you really going to tell Katie? I'd love to meet her.
WhisperinNMattsEar: Stop trying to get the hook up, Jacob
BenjaminRules: I believe there's a little bit of jealousy going on here
Matt Hardy: I wouldn't want to hook Whisperin's man up with Katie. You two dating, right?
WhisperinNMattsEar: No, we're friends.
Jacob's Ladder F'N Broke: Strictly her choice. We just chat from time to time.
Sage: Down Jacob. Behave
Matt Hardy: I just want to thank you guys so much for your support. I'm so appreciative. Amy and I aren't together but I'm trying to be in a place where I can be in the same room with her and be polite. As far as Adam, I'm not there yet. That will take awhile.
WhisperinNMattsEar: Have you talked to the WWE guys? Will you go to Smackdown or stay on Raw?
Matt Hardy: I don't know yet. I'll know something in a few weeks.
WhisperinNMattsEar: Well, I hope to see you on television soon.
Sage: We all do
ToniaLuvsKatz: Will you be doing appearances for Wrestlemania XXI?
Matt Hardy: A few. I'll be traveling a lot until I hear from the WWE.
BeenThereDoneThat: Do you think that Katie's shoulder injury on Raw by Trish was to have her off TV to let things cool off?
BenjaminRules: I was wondering the same thing.
Matt Hardy: I don't know. Katie's mom has been sick. She's fighting cancer so maybe that has something to do with her time off.
MzJessicaHardy: Did Katie suspect Adam was cheating?
Matt Hardy: She had a suspicion. She warned me but I trusted Amy. Anyway, I hope to see you guys at the few signings I'm still set to attend.
WhisperinNMattsEar: Good luck with everything Matt
Matt Hardy: Thanks Whisperin
WhisperinNMattsEar: If you ever need to talk we're here for you. I'll send you guys my new PO Box number so that you can send letters to Katie Logan. Sage has started a site for her.
Sage: It should be up and running within three days.
Matt Hardy: That's awesome. I'll be sure and contact Katie to check it out. She's working on a CD to be released next year. You guys could add a section about that. I'm sure I can get her to take a few pictures to load on your site. I may even get Trish to take a few.
Sage: That would be so great
WhisperinNMattsEar: Thanks Matt
Matt Hardy: No problem, anything for my MF'ers
"I really should be going. I just wanted to see how you were doing" Katie said to Matt a few days later. He looked well but she knew he wasn't because she wasn't over Adam completely but she hid it well. He was sitting listening to music as she sat next to him on his sofa.
"Thanks for coming by Logan" Matt grinned patting her on the knee.
"Anytime. Call me if you need to talk because I'll understand how you feel. I really tried with him but to no avail. He actually told me he loved her" she sobbed but quickly maintained her composure.
"It's okay to cry you know?" he smiled faintly as "Breathe Me" by Sia played on his stereo.
Help, I have done it again
I have been here many times before
Hurt myself again today
And the worst part is there's no one else to blame
Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me, I am small and needy
Warm me up and breathe me
"I just don't want to waste anymore tears on his ass" she said vehemently.
"I understand" Matt nodded giving her a tight hug. "Wanna have some revenge sex?" Matt asked pulling away.
"No!" Katie shouted hitting him in the shoulder.
"You don't have to deny me so quickly" he grinned.
"That's not it. I think Dave and I may have something starting" Katie explained.
"Oh, well best of luck with that" Matt said kissing her on the cheek.
"Thanks" Katie sobbed.
"Well, let me walk you to the door" he sighed but remained sitting next to her. He then reached out and touched her cheek wiping a tear from her face.
Ouch, I have lost myself again
Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found
Yeah, I think that I might break
Lost myself again and I feel unsafe
"Don't cry" Matt whispered leaning towards her. As she looked up at him he leaned forward and placed a kiss on her forehead. Then he placed another soft kiss on the tip of her nose. Then a soft, wet kiss on her lips and she responded as he slowly pushed her back on the sofa as they kissed fervently and stroked one another. Katie ran her hand up and down his back as he pulled away and struggled to pull his shirt over his head. He kissed her again full of passion.
Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me, I am small and needy
Warm me up and breathe me
Matt ran his hand under her skirt and cupped her ass as he pushed his tongue into her mouth. She let out a satisfied groan as he positioned himself between her legs. "Logan" he breathed against her mouth as they kissed and licked one another hungrily. Matt ran his hand between her legs and caressed her wetness.
Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me, I am small and needy
Warm me up and breathe me
"Wait!" Katie said grabbing his hand. "I can't do this" Katie said pushing against his chest. Matt sat up and pushed his hair away from his face. He breathed a few expletives before standing up.
"I'm so sorry Logan. I don't know what came over me. We're not them" he said.
"We won't sleep together to get back at them. We're better than that" Katie said pulling her hair back from her face.
"You kiss pretty good" Matt ribbed
"So do you. You're a moaner too" Katie teased back walking to the front door. She opened the door and turned to Matt. "Matt? This never happened right?" she questioned.
"No, you came over to see how I was and that was it. Nothing happened. The past two minutes never happened" he smiled.
"See you" she said shaking his hand.
"See you Logan. Take care" he waved as she headed to her car.
Katie got in the car and grabbed a CD and popped it into the player. She needed to calm her nerves. As she drove away from Matt's house, Kelly Clarkson's "Since You Been Gone" came on and she sang to the top of her lungs.
Here's the thing
We started out friends
It was cool, but it was all pretend
Yeah, yeah, since you been gone
You're dedicated, you took the time
Wasn't long 'til I called you mine
Yeah, yeah, since you been gone
And all you'd ever hear me say
Is how I picture me with you
That's all you'd ever hear me say
But since you been gone
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so movin' on, yeah yeah
Thanks to you, now I get what I want
Since you been gone
Katie let out a scream of relief and let the top down on her car and let the air whip through her hair. "I'm free!" she laughed. "I'm free!"
How can I put it, you put me on
I even fell for that stupid love song
Yeah, yeah, since you been gone
How come I'd never hear you say
I just wanna be with you
Guess you never felt that way
But since you been gone
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so movin' on, yeah, yeah
Thanks to you, now I get, I get what I want
Since you been gone
You had your chance, you blew it
Out of sight, out of mind
Shut your mouth, I just can't take it
Again and again and again and again
Since you been gone (since you been gone)
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so movin' on, yeah yeah
Thanks to you (thanks to you)
Now I get, I get what I want
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so movin' on, yeah yeah
Thanks to you (thanks to you)
Now I get (I get)
You should know (you should know) that I get
I get what I want
Since you been gone
Since you been gone
Since you been gone
"I don't know if this is a good idea," Chris Jericho said a few hours later trying to pull away from Trish's grasp on his hand. She was practically dragging him up to the house of Matt Hardy.
"Trust me, it's time to make up" Trish fussed ringing Matt's doorbell. After a few rings Lucas was heard barking like a madman before Matt opened the door. He looked better than Trish expected.
"Yea?" he asked eyeing Jericho, who was wearing a T-shirt that appropriately read, "Don't Shoot The Messenger."
"Chris here wanted to see how you were doing" Trish offered.
"I'm a popular guy today. Logan just left awhile ago. Come in and have a seat" Matt said ushering them in.
"Look man, I just want to say that I'm sorry about how I told you about Adam and Amy. I should have considered you're feelings. I should have been more discreet about how I told you and I'm sorry" Jericho said honestly.
"I forgive you man. I do wish you'd have told me in a better way but I'm glad I know and it's over with. I'm really disappointed in how Raw is going by putting Amy with Adam but she claims they weren't together but now they are on television together. I just want her out of my life" Matt said picking up Lucas.
"I see you kept the dog" Jericho chuckled.
"Hell yea! This is my boy" Matt grinned rubbing Lucas's head.
"See? Now you two are friends. Now things can sort of go back to being normal" Trish beamed with pride.
"Except for the fact that you got the hots for Jericho and he likes you too" Matt laughed.
"Huh?" they both said in unison.
"Me? Like Chris? Come on" Trish laughed nervously as Jericho stared at her.
"Hey, what's wrong with liking me?" Jericho challenged.
"Nothing, I mean we pretended to like each other once and it was fun but…"
"But?" Matt interrupted looking back and forth between them devilishly.
"Well, we were playacting" Jericho added.
"Yea, it was stage kissing" Trish stumbled out.
"Except that time you squeezed my ass" Jericho remembered.
"What? I did that to throw you off when you practically rammed your tongue down my throat" Trish argued.
"No I didn't, you did that to me!" Jericho fussed standing over Trish forcing her to look up at him.
"That's a lie!" Trish fumed.
"Hey, don't get mad at me girly because you wanted a piece of The Ayatollah of Rock-N-Rolla" Jericho bragged.
"You are such a jerk Chris! My God, the idea that I was ever remotely interested…" Trish started and then caught herself.
"What? Interested in him?" Matt chuckled.
"No!" Trish whined.
"Hardy you're enjoying the hell out of this aren't you?" Jericho fumed.
"Yep! I have to admit this is funny" Matt agreed.
"Well, Trish I think we need to talk somewhere alone where assclown here can't hear" Jericho said turning to a blushing Trish.
"Okay, and Matt this wasn't funny" Trish said sternly.
"Actually, it was" Matt admitted. "I'm happy to be able to help someone be happy, especially you two idiots. Suck it up and kiss each other then let it go from there" Matt said guiding them to his front door.
"Are we cool?" Jericho asked for reassurance.
"Yes, we're cool. Get out of here and go talk" Matt said waving them away.
"We're so not compatible," Jericho said heading down the drive to Trish's car.
"Yea, so not compatible" Trish responded twisting her face in disgust.
"I'm driving" he told her across the hood of the car.
"It's my car" Trish reminded him.
"Hey, stop being difficult and let me drive" he retorted as Trish tossed him the keys and they got in the car arguing all the while as Matt watched from his window.
"Those two are like TNT" Matt laughed as Lucas barked in agreement.
"So four more songs and I'm finished? I'm so happy!" Katie told her producer Donny.
"Give me a few weeks and I'll have a few songs for you. I was thinking that one of your songs could be a hidden track. Get it ready and I'll listen to it" he grinned as Katie's cellphone rang.
"Hold on a minute" she said answering the phone. "Hello? Hello? Who is this?" she demanded before hanging up.
"Crank caller?" Donny inquired.
"Yea, I've been getting them for the past few months. I thought it was Adam at first but I don't know. I changed my number and they still call"
"It's someone you know. Has to be. What does he or she say?"
"That's just it, nothing. It's like they want to hear my voice and then hang up"
"Think its Matt?" Donny laughed.
"No! I get these calls when he's in the same room with me. I know it's not him, besides he can hear my voice whenever he wants. He actually says something when he calls. We're just friends anyway" Katie laughed.
"Friends who can help one another heal from the pain of your significant others hurting you both. Revenge sex is good" Donny nodded.
"Donny!" Katie blushed.
"I've heard you talk to Matt. I've seen how he talks to you. There's something there"
"Yea, friendship" Katie replied leaning back in her chair.
"You ever kiss him?"
"No! Who said I did?" Katie insisted.
"Hey, I was just asking. Could you be guilty of something?" Donny accused.
"Fine. We kissed yesterday. It was nothing. We decided to pretend that it never happened" Katie shrugged as her phone rang again. She saw it was a blocked number and ignored it.
"So, have you really forgotten it or are you fighting to forget about it because it was so good?" Donny teased.
"It's forgotten" she said nonchalantly.
"Liar! You didn't have to tell me about that kiss. You wanted to tell somebody" he chuckled.
"Whatever!" Katie shook her head as he played her track. Her phone rang and she saw it was Matt and answered it. "Hey" she said into the phone. "Oh it's okay. It's forgotten" she laughed eyeing Donny who was eyeing her suspiciously. "With Trish and Chris? Okay. Tell Beth I'll be there" Katie smiled. "See you then Matt" Katie said hanging up the phone.
"He couldn't forget that kiss either huh?" Donny teased.
"For your information, he was inviting me to a little get together at his house. He told me that I could bring a date"
"So you two won't have to feel uncomfortable with one another the whole night? Outstanding!" he giggled.
"It's not even like that" Katie swore.
"So, who are you taking?" Donny questioned.
"You" Katie pointed at him.
"I'm married" Donny reminded her.
"Which is why you're the perfect candidate. I won't have to worry about my date wanting me to put out on the first date" Katie chuckled.
"Fine but I'm not dancing or being dumped if you find a guy there you're interested in" he warned.
"I won't! I promise" she said giving him a loving hug.
"I was thinking of something Jericho said to me a few weeks ago while defending himself in the Hardy and Copeland situation. This is exactly why I don't like any of the talent dating. It causes problems when it doesn't work out," said Vince McMahon from behind his desk as JR and Stephanie stood in front of him.
"Well, if you're referring to the script I received a few days ago I'm not so sure you should do it. Amy is nothing but a jezebel and Copeland needs his ass kicked. He's a dirty sonofabitch! He set out to ruin that relationship. I've seen him doing it for months now. They were too much of a coward to come clean so they slithered behind Matt and Katie's back" JR fumed.
"Well JR, why don't you tell us how you really feel?" Stephanie laughed.
"JR I respect your opinion. Do you think we can do something with Hardy or let him go? Logan has lots of potential in this company," Vince thought out loud.
"She's a better wrestler than Amy. Amy should have been gone but we kept her for Matt" Stephanie pointed out.
"So we let go of Matt and Amy" Vince nodded.
"Wait a minute! Hardy was wronged in this situation and you award Copeland with a title run?" JR bellowed.
"He's right Daddy" Stephanie scowled.
"So, Logan is definitely safe but which guy gets to stay?" Vince wondered.
"I say Hardy" JR voted.
"I like Copeland as future champ but Hardy has always been dependable. He can be groomed to become champ" Stephanie shrugged. "That script is crazy Daddy. They'll never go for it. The fans will never believe it"
"You don't know what I've seen" Vince wagged his finger at JR and Steph.
"What have you seen?" JR probed pulling his black cowboy hat off of his head.
"Chemistry. Pure unadulterated chemistry" Vince said through a sly smile.
