I will not make the same mistakes that you did and
I will not let myself
Cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did,
You fell so hard
I've learned the hard way
To never let it get that far…

After the match Hunter and Stephanie made their way to the back. Stephanie could TELL Hunter was pissed. She followed him to the locker-rooms. No one was in sight. Hunter walked in and then followed behind him was Stephanie. She went to shut the door but it somehow didn't close all the way and was barely cracked.

"You wanna tell me WHAT THE HELL you were thinking?" yelled Hunter.

"I..I..I didn't mean to. I was trying to help." She said nervously.

Just then Chris had heard the yelling down the hall and went up to the door and listened carefully.

"You SCREWED ME OUT OF MY MATCH…and then to top it all off, Chris kissed you." Snapped Hunter.

"Hunter… I'm… I'm sorry. It was a mistake. I didn't mean to… I was just trying to help." Said Stephanie as she managed to hold in the tears.

"Oh YOUR SORRY…YOUR SORRY, HUH?" yelled Hunter. He suddenly striked Stephanie in the face and the force was so powerful that she went fell to the floor. She immediately began crying.

Chris had heard and was completely shocked. Of course him and Stephanie were HUGE enemies but he didn't want to see her get physically harmed. He thought maybe he should speak up and do something… but he figured it was none of his business. He wondered how long this abuse has been going on.

"Steph… I'm… I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to do that." he said as he helped her up off the floor. Her hand was covering her cheek. "Are you ok?" he asked.

"I'm…I'm fine." She said as she got up and wiped the tears. She was SHOCKED because he had never hit her while he was sober.

"Are you sure?" Hunter asked.

"I'm fine." She repeated.

"Ok. Well… are you ready to go?" he asked.

"I guess so." She said.

Chris quickly moved away from the door and headed for his own. He was concerned but he didn't plan on bringing it up. Deep down, even though him and Stephanie were huge enemies, he had always had a thing for her… and tonight proved it with that kiss. Of course he didn't plan on telling Stephanie that. EVER. As he sat down in his locker-room he couldn't help but picture all the times Hunter had hit her. He now suddenly felt TERRIBLE for all the things he had called her and did to her.

Hunter and Stephanie left the arena and arrived at the hotel. Hunter's buddies had arrived and he was ready to go out.

"Uhh Steph… on second thought… I don't know if you hanging with Kurt is such a good idea." Said Hunter.

"Why?" she asked.

"Because I don't want you and him ending up like what happened tonight with Jericho." Said Hunter.

"Nothing like that will happen." Said Stephanie.

"I said no, I don't want you going, alright? Just sit in your room and I'll be back later tonight. I'll try to leave early." Hunter said.

"Ok." She said as she sighed.

"Alright. I love you." He said as he reached in and kissed her. He then left with his buddies for the bar.

Stephanie already decided she was NOT about to sit alone for 5 hours. She then headed for the hotel bar to order a drink. Chris had been sitting at the end of the bar. He noticed that Stephanie had taken a seat at the very end. She was looking down and depressed. He wanted to go up to her and maybe try to make her feel better but that was a joke! They were big enemies. He knew she hated him. Why make things worse for her? So he sat and watched carefully. She hadn't noticed him at all.

"What can I get you ma'am?" asked the bartender.

Stephanie was off into space and didn't hear him.

"Ma'am?" he said again.

"Oh… sorry… what did you say?" she asked.

"I asked if I could get you a drink." He smiled.

"Yes please. I'll have a shot of whatever." She said.

"A shot? Hmm… you must be having a pretty rough day." The man said.

"Yeah well… it hasn't been the best day." She said.

The man then handed her a shot of tequila. "Here you go." He smiled.

"Thanks… what do I owe you?" she asked.

"Ahh… it's on the house." He smiled.

"Thank you." She smiled. He walked away and she took the shot. She wondered why Hunter drank so often. What was so great about alcohol anyways? It tasted terrible, and the next morning you would get a hangout. What was the point? She was willing to find out. What the hell. She didn't have anywhere to go tomorrow.

"Another shot please." She said.

"Here you go." He smiled.

She took another shot. After spending 3 hours at the bar, she had taken 5 big shots. She felt good. She felt loosened up. She wasn't stumbling drunk, but she obviously had, had a little too many shots. Chris had stayed there to keep an eye on her.

"Another one please." She said.

"Don't you think that's enough princess?" asked a man's voice that was standing directly behind her. She knew she had heard that voice somewhere. She turned around and noticed it was Chris.

"Oh God… what are you doing here?" she asked.

"I was just leaving… but I've watched you and you've had too many shots." He said.

"So what. I don't have to drive home." She said kind of rudely.

He looked at the bartender and signaled for him to not give her anymore. The bartender nodded.

"So… are you going to give me one or not?" she asked.

"I think he's right." Said the bartender. "You've had enough."

"Alright fine. I'll go then." She said as she grabbed her coat and headed for the elevator. Chris was walking behind her. As she got in the elevator she noticed him following her.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

"I'm going up to my room." He simply said as he got inside the elevator with her.
