Chapter 36
August 30th, 2011
8:00 PM
Live Super Show
Shawn and I were roaming around the arena, checking out all of our possible opponents. There were many possiblilties, so we were basically checking out everyone that was there. "Think we could beat Khali and Michelle?"Shawn asked. I nodded. "I got Michelle down in my first match. You got Khali?"I asked. He nodded as well. "The big guys are probably our biggest threats."He continued. I agreed with him. Shawn was amazing yes, but even he had his limits. We walked to a monitor and watched Teddy Long in the ring, talking about tonights show. "Tonight is a very special night! We have both Raw and Smackdown superstars here tonight. We have in our main event, Jeff Hardy vs CM Punk in a non title match. That's not the only exciting thing happening tonight though! We have an IG Tag Team Championship title match tonight! The Champions, Shawn MIchaels and Vanessa will be defending their titles against a team of your choosing! So, throughout the show, Text in your dream team and the team with the most votes will recieve a title shot just before the main event! It's gonna be one crazy night playas!"
Shawn and I looked at each other. "Wonderful. They didn't even give us a few possiblilties of who our opponents could be!"I complained. "I know! Well this kinda sucks."He replied. We sighed simulatneously. "Don't be a baby Vanessa."Adam said suddenly. I jumped a little. I hadn't known Adam was even near us. "Holy crap that scared me."Shawn said. I guess he didn't know either. I looked at my brother. "Adam Joseph Copeland! How dare you scare both me and my partner!"I said. He smirked.
"Vanessa Isabelle Copeland! How dare you not call me in almost a week!"He said.
"I was busy..."
"Too busy to call your brother? The brother that worries about you every second of your life? The brother that you steal moves from? What could've possibly kept you that busy?"
"Um...I was kind of stolen from the rest of the world. By Jeff."
"Jeff stole you?"
"Mhmm. He's been with me since last Tuesday. Bugging me about his birthday present."
"Don't blame me. You could've called Adam at any time."Jeff said, walking over to us.
"How could I with you at my side every second of the day?"I retorted.
"Hey it's not like I was banning you from doing anything! You literally spent like 7 hours webcaming Amy who was 4 blocks away from you!"
"So you talk to my girlfriend, but not me? What kinda crap is that?"Adam asked.
"She called me first!"
"You're so mean to me!"
"Don't be over dramactic Adam."
"Well you are!"
"If I give you a hug will you be happy?"
"Yes. I will."
I sighed, wrapped my arms around Adam's waist and hugged him. "Love you Adam."I said. He hugged me back. "You better."He said. I chuckled and pulled away from him, only to have my arm grasped by Shawn. "Alright, if you idiots are done harassing Vanessa, she and I are going to scope out our competition."He said, pulling me along.
*One hour later*
"Shawn, c'mon! We have to go change into our ring gear. We've already checked out every single person that is on the roster."I whined. He sighed and nodded. We walked past Teddy's office just as the door opened. I expected it to be Teddy. I don't think I've ever been more wrong. Now standing in front of me, was none other than Jay Reso. Why was he here? My blood ran cold, and I stayed frozen in fear. He stared at me and I stared back, afraid to move. My breathing became uneven and ragged. It was taking all of my will power not to start crying and curl up into a ball. Shawn, who now seemed to realize I was no longer following him, looked over his shoulder. "You comin' Mini Me?"He asked. He saw Jay and he immeadiately moved to my side. Shawn put his hands on my shoulders and glared at Jay. "Walk away. Now."Shawn said. He used a tone I've never heard him use before. It held anger, authority and something else I couldn't identify. Jay didn't move right away. He just continued to stare at me.
"Vanessa...I've missed you."He said softly.
Shawn let out a low growl, pushed me behind him and stood in front of me protectively. I was dead weight at this point and time. "I said walk away Jay."Shawn demanded. I gripped the back of Shawn's shirt tightly as Jay moved to walk away. He looked at Shawn. "Can I just tell her something?"He begged. Shawn narrowed his eyes at him. "No. Stay the hell away from her."He said. I'd never heard Shawn curse before. Jay sighed. "I'm sorry Vanessa. I let things go too far. I still love you though."He said. Shawn actually pushed Jay away. "I SAID LEAVE HER ALONE!"He yelled. Jay finally started walking away. As soon as he was out of Shawn's sight, he pulled me into a tight hug. "Are you okay Vanessa?"He asked. I shook my head as tears flowed silently down my cheeks. He held me tighter to him. "He's gone. I won't let him touch you okay?"Shawn reassured me. I nodded slowly. "Let's go get ready. I have a surprise for you anyway."He said softly. I nodded again and he led me away from the dreaded spot. All the progress I'd made had just diappeared with just a look at him. Thank God Shawn was here.

The crowd erupted into cheers as Shawn Michaels and Vanessa entered the arena. They had decided to match again. Vanessa had on chaps that matched Shawn's perfectly, just more womanly. She had on the same HBK T-shirt that Shawn did, and she had even fixed her hair like his. The people could now see why Shawn called her his Mini Me. The duo held their belts proudly as the bounded down the ramp. Vanessa didn't seem to be all that cheerful, though. They entered the ring in their usual way. Shawn holding the ropes for Vanessa. They stood in the middle of the ring, with Shawn's arm around Vanessa's shoulder, waiting to see who their opponents were. The TitanTron scrolled through a list of different combonations of Divas and Superstars alike. They watched it carefully. Vanessa's eyes widened when The Diva one stopped on Lita. "I have to fight her again!"Vanessa said to Shawn who just shrugged. Everyone in the building gasped when the Superstar one landed on Edge. Vanessa's eyes widened even larger. She gave Shawn a look of disbelief, which he returned.
You think you know me.
On this day, I see clearly.
Everything has come to life
Bitter place,
And A broken dream
and we're leaving it all behind!
On this day, it's so real to me
Everything has come to life
Another chance to chase a dream
Another chance to feel
Another chance to feel aliiiiiiiive!
A surprised Edge and Lita entered the arena. The crowd didn't miss them holding hands out of habit, and cheered their pleasure. They slowly made it to the ring and entered it. Vanessa and Edge stared at each while Chimel entered the ring. "This match is set for onefall and it is for the Inter Gender Tag Team Championship! Introducing first, the current champions, the team of The HeartBreak Kid, Shawn Michaels, and Vanessa!"He said, gesturing to the champs. They raised their belts in the air and kept eyes contact with their opponents. "Introducing the challengers, the team of The Rated R SuperStar, Edge and Lita!"Chimel gestured to Edge and Lita. The two teams went to their corners and decided the men would start off the match.
Shawn and Edge circled each other before Shawn dived at Edge. Both men fell to the mat and were rolling around fighting each other. They got up and started using serious moves. It wasn't long before Edge tagged Lita in. Shawn almost immeadiately tagged Vanessa in. The two divas who had just competed against each other the previous night shook hands. Vanessa kicked Lita in the stomach and the red head doubled over in pain. Vanessa grabbed at Lita's hair and brought her knee to her face. Lita fell on the ground. Vanessa walked over to her, but Lita quickly grabbed Vanessa and cradled her for the pin. Vanessa kicked out at 2. Lita landed her own kick to Vanessa's stomach this time. When the blonde doubled over, Lita executed a beautiful running bulldog. She quickly positioned Vanessa just right, and climbed to the top turnbuckle. Vanessa moved out of the way just as Lita jumped off. Lita rolled into her corner and tagged Edge in. The crowd grew silent as Vanessa stood her ground. Edge rolled his eyes at his little sister. "Go tag in Shawn!"He told her. She shook her head. "Rock, Paper, Scissors?"He asked. Vanessa nodded. The crowd watched in amusement as the siblings played rock,paper, scissors to decide who would tag out. Vanessa ended up losing and relunctantly tagged in Shawn.
The two men went at it again, this time much more serious than before. It was a good 15 minutes before a tag was made. Vanessa made her way quickly into the ring just as Lita was tagged in. Vanessa saw her opprutunity, and she took it. The Blackout was executed perfectly. Vanessa quickly made the cover. The ref counted. 1. 2. 3! Shawn and Vanessa were STILL the champs! "Ladies and Gentlemen, the winners of this match, and STILL the Inter Gender Tag Team Chamopions of the world, Shawn Michaels and Vanessa!" Vanessa and Shawn hugged in celebration. Charles Robinson handed them their belts and they raised them proudly. Vanessa hooked hers on her shoulder and walked over to Lita. She smiled and offered her a hand. Lita smiled and took it. Vanessa pulled the red head up. She looked at her brother and winked at him. He just chuckled and wrapped an arm around Lita. The four of them made their way backstage.
*Vanessa's POV*
"I can't believe you guys were our opponents!"I said, once backstage. Amy laughed. "I know! I was surprised myself."She commented. I smiled at Shawn. "That went much better than I had expected. Especially after what happened before it."I said. Shawn nodded. "Wait, what happened?"Adam asked quickly. He disliked being left out. Shawn looked at him seriously. "Jay was here tonight Adam."He said. Adam and Amy quit smiling. I just stared awkwardly at the floor. "Did he touch her Shawn?"Adam asked through clenched teeth. Shawn shook his head. "No. I would never allow that. He was just messing with her head."He said.
"Shawn cursed at him."I said softly.
Shawn smiled at me. "Yes I did. He deserved it too."He turned back to Adam. "I don't think he made any real damage though. We'll just see how she reacts to Jeff."He whispered. I narrowed my eyes at Shawn a little. "I can still hear you, you know!"I said. He grinned. "I know you can." I rolled my eyes at him. He looked behind me and grinned again. "Ah Jeff! You have great timing!"He said. I turned around, and I saw Jeff now catiously walking over. "Why?"He asked warily.
"I need you to do me a favor!"Shawn said.
"Which is?"
"I need you to kiss Vanessa."
Jeff raised an eyebrow at Shawn. "Not that I don't mind, but can I ask why?"He said. Shawn shook his head. "You'll have your answers after you kiss her."He said simply. Jeff shrugged and looked at me. He didn't see but I braced myself for any form of tension. When he kissed me, I felt none though. It was a normal enjoyable and wonderful Jeff kiss. He pulled away, but still kept his arm around me. "Vanessa was there anything?"Shawn asked. I shook my head. "Nope. Just an amazing Jeff kiss."I said. Adam rolled his eyes at me. Shawn smiled and clapped his hands together. "Good! Very good! Now we can give poor Jeff the answers he seeks."
"Vanessa saw Jay today and from what I understand, he was really close to her and tried to talk to her."Adam said.
Jeff's arm tightened around my waist. "What?"He said angrily. Shawn nodded. "Yeah. I made him leave though. He kept saying he was sorry, he missed her and he still loved her. Bunch of bullcrap."Shawn said in a disgusted tone. I nodded. "Shawn cursed at him too."I said. Yes I was stuck on that. Shawn rarely ever cursed. Jeff nodded and looked at me. "Come with me to the ring?"He asked. I nodded. "Sure."I said. He smiled.
"Good. I'll feel much better if you're out there with me."
"Please don't go into protective mode."
"I already am."Adam said, butting in. I glared at him. "Don't encourage Jeff to be."I said. He shrugged as Jeff's music started playing. That's when I realized we all had stopped at the Gorilla Position. I laced my fingers with Jeff's and followed him out and past the curtain, still in my ring gear. I left my title with Shawn.
*Jay's POV*
"Thank you so much Teddy. You won't be disapointed. I'll be ready to come back in exactly 2 weeks!"I said excitedly. He nodded and dismissed me. I walked out of his office and immeadiately saw my love. Vanessa. She was smiling and walking with Shawn. She stopped when she saw me. We stared at each other for awhile. She was still as beautiful as ever. I was about to apologize when Shawn interupted and made me leave. I just wanted to tell her sorry. That's all.
I sighed and ran a hand over my now bruise free face. Everyone in the world knew I'd hurt Vanessa and I didn't want that. I'm not a bad person. I just have some issues. Vanessa shouldn't be with Jeff. She should be with me! I know I can get her. I know I can. I just have to take a more...soft approach. I've known her since she was little. She'll forgive me. She has to. After the debacle with Vanessa and Shawn, I stuck around the arena for awhile, talking to some people who didn't believe the dirtsheets. Thank the lord. After the show ended, I watched the people walk out of the arena. I saw Adam and Amy walk out together. I missed Adam immensely. He was my best friend. I knew unless Vanessa forgave me, Adam wouldn't talk to me. What I saw next shocked me. He joked and laughed with Jeff. Jeff Hardy. The man we've hated for the longest time. I felt myself grow sad. I had been replaced. I saw Jeff, Vanessa and Shawn join them.
I followed them silently. They didn't notice me. I could hear thier conversation though. "What time is your flight you two?"Adam asked Jeff and Vanessa. "In about 2 hours."Vanessa asked. Adam nodded. "Where are you going?"Shawn asked. Jeff wrapped his arm around Vanessa and pulled her close. "Back to Cameron. For my birthday ya know."He replied. Vanessa chuckled. "I'll be happy when your birthday's over. Then you'll shut up about your birthday present."She joked. Jeff pulled her to his body and kissed her nose. "Yes I will. As soon as I recieve my present."He said. "I can't wait to unwrap it."He said. Adam gagged and I felt rage began to boil. Vanessa giggled and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Yup. You still have one more day though. You gotta be good or no present."She said.
How could she talk like that? In front of Adam no less? Jeff was changing my Vanessa. And for the worst. I didn't like that not one bit. I liked the innocence that Vanessa hand. Jeff practically killed it. That's when I remembered he was the one to physically take her innocence. I glared at Jeff's head. Asshole. While I was sorry for what I did to Vanessa, I didn't regret it. What I did regret was making her so bad that Jeff wouldn't want to touch her.
