a/n: I don't own anyone in this story... the WWE owns all the werstlers.

Thank you for the reviews! Enjoy!

Eden POV

I was in the room waiting for Randy when there was a knock on the door. I opened it expecting it to be Randy, but it wasn't… it was Matt. I just looked at him.

"You look just as good as the day I left you." he said and I just backed away from him.

Flashback:

Matt had gotten home from another show in St. Louis and he wasn't happy that he won. I was sitting on the couch one second and the next I was thrown up against the wall. I was being yelled at for doing something that I didn't know I had done. I was trying to push him off, but I wasn't strong enough. I remember him yelling and his hand being around my neck; I woke up later at the bottom of the wall.

I called Sam and told her to come get me… I wanted out of there. I was waiting for Sam when Matt came back. He started in for round two when Randy and Sam came busting in the room. I didn't know that Randy was even in town. Randy beat the crap out of Matt before Sam and I pulled him off.

They took me straight to the hospital. I stayed away from Matt for a few weeks after that, but he kept coming back to me. The last night I saw him he beat the crap out of me and left me in my apartment bleeding on the kitchen floor. Sam had to help me that night and we never told Randy.

I was having a flashback of the last night when he grabbed my arm.

"What are you doing here, Eden?" he asked me again.

"I'm here seeing…" I was saying as Randy grabbed Matt and threw him out of the room. I was shocked, but hugged Randy once he walked back into the room.

"Are you ok?" he asked me and all I could do was nod. He calmed me down and I was so glad that he came when he did… I didn't want Matt anywhere near me.

"Can you walk me to Heath's room?" I asked him.

"Yeah, Ed, but you can stay here if you need to." He said and I nodded.

Heath POV

I was sitting on the bed when the door opened revealing and upset Eden and a pissed Randy.

"What happened?" I asked them as I put my arm around Eden.

"I got back to the room and Matt was talking to her." Randy said and I pulled Eden closer.

"Are you ok?" I asked her and she nodded.

"Ed, you need to stay near one of us when we are at the show tomorrow." Randy said and I nodded in agreement.

"I will, I promise." She said and I nodded.

"Breakfast in the morning?" Eden asked Randy and he nodded.

"See you then." He said and hugged her. Randy left and I pulled her to me. I kissed her softly and she smiled at me.

"I'm sorry I got mad and said that." I said to her and she smiled.

"It's ok, I probably should have told you earlier." She said.

"Come on, sleep." I said. She changed and I changed; I was so glad to be able to sleep with her curled up next to me.

I woke up the next morning and she was coming out of the shower. I smiled as I watched her towel off her hair. She looked at me and smiled.

"Hope I didn't wake you." she said and I shook my head no.

"Nope, but it is nice to wake up and you be the first thing I see." I told her and she smiled.

I showered and we went downstairs to meet Randy and John for breakfast. I knew that the only way I would be hanging out with these guys was because of Eden. I hated that most of the WWE looked at the 8 rookies as jokes because we came in on a 'game show' type of contest.

Eden POV

I was glad that I was getting to see Randy, Heath, and John. I knew that I would see Adam later tonight. John still couldn't believe that I was dating Heath and I knew it bothered Heath, but I didn't have to justify who I was dating to anyone… just explain it to Randy and Sam.

We got done eating and I was going to walk around with Heath; Randy and John were going to work out. We ended up downtown walking around looking at different stores.

"Are you having fun?" Heath asked me and I nodded.

"Yeah, I really am." I said and he kissed me.

"I'm glad you came." He said and I smiled at him.

We walked around until we had to get to the arena. We were in the cab on the way and Heath didn't look excited.

"What's wrong?" I asked him.

"I just don't want Matt to hurt you. I want you to stay around us all night… I told Stu and Paul to help watch out for you. I just told them that Matt was bothering you last night and I didn't like it. I didn't tell them you dated him." I said and she smiled.

"Thanks." She said and kissed me.

I didn't want to get out of the cab when we got to the arena because I had been kissing Eden the entire ride there. I took her hand and we walked inside. I got the list and stuff I needed for tonight and started towards the dressing room for Nexus.

"Wait here, scream if he comes near you." I said and she nodded. I dropped my stuff in the room and walked back out to find her talking to Adam.

"You are still dating rookie here?" he asked her and she nodded.

"Yeah, and his name is Heath." She said and I smiled because she didn't like them calling us rookie either.

"I know… I'm glad to see you. You going to go out with us tonight?" Adam asked her and she looked at me.

"I'll let you know." She said and he nodded. He gave me a passing glance as he walked off.

"Don't worry, I'm sure you will kick his butt one day for the WWE championship." She said and I kissed her.

"Not in public!" a voice said and I turned to see Paul standing there with Ryan (Skip Sheffield) smirking.

"You are just jealous." Eden said and I laughed.

"You must be Eden." Ryan said and shook her hand.

"Yes, nice to meet you…?" she responded.

"Ryan." He said and she nodded.

"Come on, we gotta warm up." Paul said and she walked with us out to the arena. A few other superstars were sitting outside, and I didn't see Matt.

"Ed, come here." Randy said when he saw her and she smiled at me as she walked over to sit with him.

"You have it bad." Paul said and I smiled. I knew I did.

A/N: Will Matt make another apperance?
