In The Hotel
Here," said adam in the hotel room we were sharing with Christian and Gangrel. (Don't worry there were 4 beds, we weren't sleeping together!) "These are for you." "Thank you," I said. And then I carefully took off the wrapping paper and opened the box. Inside was a pair of real Sapphire stud earrings. I was born in so September so that is my birthstone. I was speechless. I stared at the earrings. "They're…beautiful! Thank you so much!" I got up and gave Edge the biggest kiss ever. He put his arms around my waist and said, "They look good on you." I commented, "I feel awful, Adam, I have nothing to give you in return." "It's okay, just you being with me is enough." Not knowing what to say, I just positioned myself that I could lean on him and he'd stroke my hair like he usually will do when he's sick.
The following night on Heat, I had my first match against Ivory. It was for the Women's championship. One night there and I had a match. I was quite nervous and Edge asked what I was going to wear. "A pair of black tights, that hideous shirt, and the pair of boots with the Brood symbol on it." I said rolling my eyes. "This isn't your choice is it?" Edge asked. "No." I scowled. "Gangrel's." Edge sighed and said, "Here wear this." It was the long coat he always wore without fail. "It's too long for me." I said. "So? It doens't matter. Wear what you want." he told me. So I decided to wear black jeans and the uniform shirt. A much as I hated it, i wore it.
Pretty soon the Brood music played and through the fire you see me and Edge and Chirstian. And as I walked out, I was wearing the coat. Edge and Christian came to ringside with me. "Good luck, Christiana." Edge said to me. I nodded at my brothers. Then I looked across at Ivory. "Come on bitch, hit me." she screamed at me. First, I took off Edge's coat and handed it to him. I decided that I was going to annoy her. After that I began to work on Ivory. She ran at me and I moved so that she ran into the turn buckle. "You think you're great, bitch, a hotshot? Lets go." she sneered. We grappled and I turned her behind me, so that her face was toward the floor. and then I fell. The Impaler is a great move. That was my only movement to begin with. I went for a pin, but I only got a 2 count on her. Then she dug her nails into my face. I didn't even yell, although I heard Edge yell at her, "Come on, bitch, she can't take so much more than that!" She made a face at him and it gave me the chance I needed to pull an another Impaler on her. "1!-2!-3!" Earl Hebner and the fans yelled. After that I stood up strieght, and I looked up in the stands and then I fell to my knees. I had succeeded and became Women's Champion. Edge and Christian came in the ring and helped me to my feet. Earl handed me the belt and I held it up. I grasped it to my chest as Christian did with his Light Heavyweight Championship. He still had it but had not defended for like 4 months. The people cheered me and I left the ring. "You did it!" Edge said, embracing me. I smiled and Christian hugged me. "I'm tired." I said gripping on to Christian's arm. Gangrel came over and said, "Why aren't you wearing what I told you to wear?" I looked up at him and said, "I didn't want to, Sire." The Titan Tron was showing Gangrel as we spoke. The fans were booing him. "You didn't want to? I don't care!" And he went to hit me but Christian grabbed Gangrel's arm. "You are not going to hit her. I will not let you and niether is Edge. You are going to congraduate her and walk away." Gangrel did just that and walked away. I looked at him. "You spoke." Edge said. Jason shrugged. The fans cheered 'Christian! Christian!' "Thank you, brother." I said outside. He laughed. "You're welcome, sister." Shortly there after, we left.
3 Days Later
Jason and I were trying to concoct something for dinner since we didn't have much of anything. He was a good cook, but I was horrible. "Clarissa, get me the salt." he barked.
I grabbed the salt.
"Pepper!
I grabbed the pepper.
"Chicken!"
I grabbed it and handed it to him.
"Oregeno!"
Edge looked up. "We don't have anymore--you dumped all of it on the pizza last time, remember?" "Damn!" he cursed. "And now its snowing and we've got at least 5 inches so we can't go out." "I will and I can." Adam said, getting his coat. I looked at him. "Please don't go, you're going to get hurt." I begged. He put his hand in mine and with his free hand stroked my face and said,
"Baby, I'll be fine. Trust me."
"Promise me! Promise me you'll come home and you'll be fine."
"I promise." And then he left.
Half an hour later, while setting the table we received a phone call.
"Hello?" I asked wiping my hands off.
"Is this Christiana Copeland Reso?"
"Yes, it is. Who is this?"
"Ummm, this is Ginger from Manitoba General Hospital." I looked over at Christian. He came over and gripped my shoulder. Ginger continued.
"Adam Copeland was just checked in a few minutes ago. He was in an accident. Aparently he skidded on a piece of ice and hit a pole. He doesn't seem to be seriously hurt, just in shock and he's just unconscious right now. And he keeps moaning your name and Christian?"
"We're his siblings." I said. "What room?"
"He's in room…405."
"Thank You!" I exclaimed and I hung up the phone. "Let's go." I said to Jason. We ran out the door and I cursed because we had to walk to the hospital. We ran in and I saw a nurse by the door. "Is he okay?" I asked. "I don't know." she told me. "You can go in and see him." "You go first, Jason." I stood by the door and watched. Jason sat on the chair and spoke. I only heard parts of what he was saying though. "adam, dude, we didn't need the oregno that bad... you had us worrying pretty bad, 'speially Clarissa, she was crying on the way...Wake Up! you're scaring me. Please...I love you Adam, you're my big bro, I need you. And if you won't get up for me, get up for the woman who loves you most." I turned and made sure he thought I wasn't listening. "All right, sis, you can go in." he wiped a tear away and I squeezed his hand.
When I went in, I rubbed Edge's strong hand with my 'little fingers' as he calls them. Then I locked them in his. I didn't know what to say. But when I started, I couldn't stop. "You promised me you'd come home! You promised me!" I said at first. I was mad but then I began to cry. "Adam, please wake up! This is scaring me so much! I don't know what I would do if I lost you!" I cried. "Why am I saying this? You can't hear me!" I asked quietly. "Well, even if you can't hear me, I just have to tell you something. Adam, I Love You! I hope you can hear me becasue I want you to know, I love you with my whole entire being. I have nothing with out you! I am nothing with out you. Please, Adam, I love you!" I cried. I started to cry harder and rested my head on his chest. "I love you so damn much! I wish you knew…" Suddenly, I felt a hand running over my back and I heard, "How many times do I have to tell you, not to cry for me?" I lifted my head up and Adam sat looking at me. He smiled, and wiped away my tears. "Oh my god, How long have you been awake?" I asked. "A minute or so. I heard everything you said but didn't want to interrupt." He replied. "Is it true?" "Oh yes, Adam, it is, every word...I do love you, I've never loved anyone more than you. Do you feel the same? Please tell me." He looked at me.
"Of course I love you."
With those simple words I let more tears flow down my face and made Adam laugh. "Oh Clarissa, you make just the smallest thing into a huge dramatic thing." I looked up at him and he grinned. "Adam Copeland, you're going to be the death of me." I said. And he pulled me down to his face and kissed me. "I can't imagine being the death of you." Then I looked at him. "No, maybe you won't but your kisses sure will kill me." Again he kissed me. "So you want me to stop kissing you?"he asked. I shook my head. "No, don't ever stop kissing me. There is one thing I want." I told him. "Oh what do you want?" Adam asked. "I just want my oregano." He roared with laughter. "My girl, I knew there was a reason why I love you like I do." I smiled and laughed with him. Jason came in and laughed becasue we were. Within a few weeks, Adam was back in the ring and was ready to fight with Gangrel at anytime. At one point, Gangrel said to me, "The Brood is seperating. Stay on with me. We're going to make it a small ordeal." I had told Edge what he said and he told me to do what my heart told me. "I know you'll make the right choice, honey." Was all he'd tell me. Christian didn't tell me much else either. "You always make the right choice. I know you'll do that now." I stood dumbfounded. And so later, I aproached Gangrel in the hall and said, "I'm sorry. But I too, will be departing from the Brood. I am very sorry, Sire. But my heart is telling me to do something else and thats be with my best friends. I'm sorry." Gangrel stared at me and cursed and then the impossible--He hit me. "Be Gone!" he roared and I ran away holding my face. I ran into Jason's dressing room where he sat and I put my head on his lap. "Clarissa, what happened?" "Gangrel hit me." I cried. "It's all right." he said soothing me. "You'll be all right. I'll keep you safe as will Adam." I certainly hoped so.
