Jeff said he had to go. I let him. I showered and went to bed. I woke up with a huge nauseating feeling. I ran to the bathroom and threw up. Just like the day before. I rested myself against the bathtub for a while. Then, decided to draw a bath. I sat in the hot water for a while, until there was a knock.
"Destiny!!" Adam yelled. "We're going down to breakfast!"
"I'll be right out." I called. I got out, changed and met Adam at the door.
"You don't look so great." Were his first words to me.
"Thank you, Adam." I said.
"I mean you look sick."
"I know what you meant. And, I feel sick." I told him.
"Want me to take you to the doctor?" He asked.
"No, no it'll pass." I answered.
We walked down to the restaurant in the hotel. The superstars that were there greeted me with a standing ovation. I bowed and sat myself next to Jeff and Adam. I smell of everyone's food made me feel worse. I ate Matt's cinnamon roll.
"You're not eating." Hunter said. He slid his plate to me. "Finish that."
I put my hand on my stomach. "That's OK." I got up and ran to the bathroom. Steph followed.
"You OK?" She asked.
"Been better." I answered.
"I'm sorry I didn't believe you about my father."
"It's all right." I said.
"Maybe you should see a doctor."
"If it doesn't get any better." I told her. "Then I will."
"And, you've got your work cut out for you." She said. "A match against Haku and a show."
"Thank God for Smackdown." I said sarcastically. "I don't know if I can do that show tomorrow. But, I know if I don't show up Vince will hang me for sure."
"I can't believe my father. He's acting like Vince the man on TV, not Vince the sensible one. I don't even think his own children can get through to him now."
"I don't want you to lose whatever you have with your father on an account of me." I said. "I'll fight this one out alone."
"You shouldn't have to. It's not fair to you. You've got eight other men willing to help you, and you've got me." She hugged me.
"For the first time in my life, I feel wanted." I told her.
"I find that hard to believe."
"Believe it. I wasn't exactly the most lovable person at home or anywhere else. The only other person I can remember, before now, that made me feel special was my acting coach. He was the only one who believed in me at all."
"What about your parents?" She asked.
"Like I told Matt and Jeff, they didn't want me around. They would gladly hand me over to my acting coach whenever they could. Once they saw that I was becoming better at acting then they, they didn't want me anymore. They were abusive people. It wasn't the best growing up in my house."
"I'm very sorry to hear that." She said.
"And, when I got here I made these friends. And I thought, wow how amazing is this. People that actually care about me. And, for a second, Vince was becoming a father figure. That's lost now." I sighed. "But I look on the bright side and think, look what you have here, in front of you. Eight wonderful, good looking, men that really care about you. You've got a girl that you can really talk to, this is a keeper right here. Don't let this go. This is family."
"We try to be. This whole business is family. You're on the road all the time together you grow on each other. Sure, there's the rivalries, but for the most part we're very close. What you have, the eight guys, and me, we're the closest out of everyone."
"I trust you guys, I really do." I said. "I can tell you anything. Then there's Adam who has become my best male friend, figure that one out. Matt and Jay are incredible people. They are so sweet and have become very close to me. Jericho's my buddy. I look up to him. Hunter's filled the father figure shoes, and-"
"And Jeff." She stopped. "Well, he's something special, isn't he?"
"If you want to say that." I said.
"I can see through that, Destiny. I know what's going on. I knew from day one that stunt you pulled with Jay was for show. I know who this secret crush is. I know it all. Your secret's safe with me."
I looked up at her. I respected Stephanie. She had to play this bitch in the ring, with a dick-head of a husband. All that was changing. Mr. and Mrs. Helmsly were parting from Vince's side. The bad side. And, they were coming onto the good side, our side.
"I think I'm OK now." I said sitting up.
"Now, are you sure you don't want me to take you to the doctor? We leave in three hours."
"I'm sure." I said.
When we opened the girls room door, the seven men were there standing. They wanted to know if I was OK, and Adam asked if I was going to die. Thanks Adam. Anyway, I told them I was fine and to leave me alone.
"If you're getting sick, don't come near me." Jay said keeping his distance.
"I have a feeling I'm not sick." I told him.
"Then, what are you?" He asked.
"It's hard to explain. I feel sick, but I don't feel that I am ill. It's just a weird feeling inside me."
"Uh-huh." Jay said looking at me like I was crazy. "Maybe you're stomach's growing." He poked my stomach. "Hey, you, stop it!"
"Jay, cut it out." I pushed him away.
"You're not helping." Jeff told him.
"Hey, we have to leave soon." Jay said.
"Duh!" Adam replied hitting him on the back of the head. "I feel bad for you now, Des. You've got a lot of things to do tomorrow."
"Don't worry about me, I'll be fine. I'm feeling better all ready."
"If you say so." Matt said.
I stayed in my room, alone for those three hours. I had the belt by my side. I looked at it. Smiling, admiring what I had just won. I surprised a lot of people. Not by winning, but by get a shot now, so early in my career.
I must have fallen asleep because the next thing I remember is waking up to the banging of the door and Jeff and Adam's screams. I opened it and they walked in.
"Gotta go." Adam said. He picked up my bags.
"I can carry that." I told him.
"I know." He winked at me and I smiled. I saw Jeff turn the other way.
"Do you have everything?" Jeff asked.
"Yeah, I packed everything up last night." I answered. "I'm all set." I picked the belt up from my bed.
"You'll be carrying that I'm guessing." Adam said with a smile.
"Yeah, well, I guess." I replied shrugging. "Where am I gonna put it?"
We walked out and down to the lobby. I made my way next to Steph. She put her hand on my shoulder and asked if I was OK. I nodded. I did feel better now. A lot better. We all got into a bus and went to the airport. Tomorrow at noon I had to do a show with Michael Cole. I wonder what I would be saying. Who would I talk about? My win, the Hardyz win? How completely unfair Vince was? In any case, working with Coleslaw would be fun. Get to rant on him, that's always a laugh.
I sat with Steph on the bus as well. Matt and Jeff sat behind us. She kept turning around and looking at them, Jeff mostly. Then she would smile at me when she faced me.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Checking them out." She answered. "Jeff mainly, and not like that. Maybe I should talk to him."
"I don't think so." I said.
"Why not? I'm a perfect match maker."
"I don't doubt your match making talents. But, I think I'm going to make this go unnoticed until I decide to spill it all."
"And, when will that be?"
"Soon, maybe." I answered. I adjusted the belt that was on my lap.
"I owned that once." She said.
"I know." I held it up. "It's shiny."
"Looks better on you anyway."
"I beat Ivory, only Ivory."
"And Steven Richards." She said. "Remember, he had a little input on that match. And, he really had the other guys of RTC screw with Matt, Jeff, Jericho, Adam, and Jay."
"I know, which really makes me mad. But, I've got other things to worry about." I told her.
"Like?"
"Lita for one." I answered. "Keeping this belt. And, trying not to get screwed over by your father."
"Please, lets not talk about him. I am so mad at him. I just can't believe he would say something like that about you. I mean, you're great for this business. I hate to sound all business like, but it's true. You like second only to Chyna in the best women wrestlers. And, when she comes back I'm going to see to it that you guys hook up. What a tag team that would be."
"Yeah, it would be great. But, don't forget about Team Xtreme and this D-X thing that I thought was starting." I said.
"Don't doubt D-X. New and old members together. Everyone who was apart of it will be in it. Hunter told me they were thinking of calling it New Generation-X. But, that wouldn't go over real well. You've got a front row ticket to that one. Consider yourself lucky that Shawn took a liking to you."
"Well, don't count on me joining D-X I've got the boys to think about." I said. "Which is why a tag team with me and Chyna wouldn't work out. Sure, I'd tag with her, but a real team like the Hardy Boyz or Edge and Christian wouldn't work." I shrugged. "We would be unstoppable."
"A force to be reckoned with." She laughed.
"What are you girls talking about?" Matt asked.
"Girl things." I answered. "Talk to your brother."
"I would, but he's sleeping. Look, his face is pressed up against the glass." We all looked.
"Maybe you can help me out." Steph said.
"I like helping out." Matt replied. "Go on."
"It has to do with your brother and my friend here."
"Oh, I know about that." He said. "Jeff's fallen hard, fast. Ever since day one. And, when he knew about Adam and Jay he wanted to hit the roof. Good thing he doesn't know about me."
"You slept with him?!"
"Steph, shut up!" I yelled. "Yes, I did."
"Damn." She said.
"Anyway, he doesn't care now. Sure, he's mad, but out of jealous."
"I've got ideas up my sleeves." I told them.
"Yes, going in front of everyone in the ring and telling them." Matt said. "You've got problems."
"I think it's sweet." Steph said.
"Thank you, Stephanie." I replied. "I don't know why I want to do it that way."
"I think it's very bold of you." She said.
"But, it has to be comforting to know that when you do it, it'll work out." Matt said. "By the way, when are you going to do it?"
"Well, when the time is right." I answered. "Right now I am too wrapped up with Vince to be able to."
"Hope that all works out for you." Matt said.
"I'll make sure it does." Steph spoke up. "I am so against it."
"Maybe you can walk in the ring with me and say a few things today." I told her.
"I'm there." She said.
"Good, because I have a few things I need to say."
"I do too."
I told her what I had planned for tonight. Once the plane touched ground me and Cole were immediately picked up and sent to a TV station. Vince was in the limo with us. I could tell Mike felt a little weird. He knew the situation, and I knew he would bring it up.
"So, Vince are you going to watch the show?" Cole asked.
"I would, but I can't." He answered. "I have a few things to do."
"Oh, too bad."
Now with Vince definitely not there, he would ask me about it. I mean, come on, it's going to be a huge thing. Anyway, we were dropped off at the station and left to do this show ourselves. We walked in, was seated, and was given sheets of paper with things we should cover. Basically, this show was up to us. We could talk about whatever we wanted.
"Welcome to channel WWF's new station. I'm Michael Cole and my CO-host here is Destiny." He said. "How are you today?"
"I'm fine. It's great to be co-hositing the show with you. There's a lot we have to cover." I said. "First off, The Rock and Triple H."
"Right, two of the WWF's strongest apposers are slowly siding together. Now, I'm not really sure what to make of this. But, from an announcers point of view, this is a huge step in a positive direction."
"I agree. Lets face it, if they hook up they'll be unstoppable. Both of them are amazing wrestlers." I said. "And, we can't forget about Jericho. The unlikely man who helped Stephanie out. And, with Austin? I find it very odd that Austin has a crush on Stephanie."
"I think this crush is to get to Triple H, but that's my ideas."
The show went on strong. It wasn't the best of shows, but went along fine. The whole subject of Vince and I wasn't brought up, until Cole mentioned the belt.
"And, you are the new Women's Champ." He said. "And, as far as I know, that might not have happened. Vince has taken a serious turn of emotions towards you."
"Since you've brought it up, yes. The reasons why will remain secret. But, yes Vince has did a total 180 on me."
I didn't want to talk about it. Cole did bring it up, so I did my best as to not say anything bad. Don't piss him off anymore ya know? If I did that, he'd have me fighting Undertaker or Kane. He would do that.
After the show a limo picked us up and brought us to the hotel. Vince wasn't there. Cole knew how I felt about this. He didn't ask me about it, or talk to me. I got out of the car and thanked Cole for the show.
"Saw the show!" Jericho called to me.
"And?"
"I liked it." He said. "You and Cole make a good pair."
"Didn't bash Vince too much." I replied. "But either way I've got that stupid match tonight."
"You're right though."
"We'll see what'll happen tonight after me and Steph say a few things."
He laughed. "You're going to turn into me."
"Is that bad?"
"No, not at all."
"I didn't think so." I said.
"You look so much better than you did this morning." He told me.
"I feel better too." I replied. "Don't know what it was."
"Maybe those 24 hour things."
"Maybe." I said. "God, I'm going to explode tonight."
"Just, be careful." He told me. "This is for real."
"I know. It's just frustrating."
We talked for a little while longer and then went our separate ways. I had an idea of what could be wrong with me. But, I didn't dare tell anyone. I mean, it was serious. Anyway, I went to my room and saw a note tapped to the door. It read: Destiny: Hey. I'll be in the arcade. Meet me there. ~Jeff.
I went inside, fixed myself up and left. Sure enough, he was there, alone. I could only wonder what it was he wanted to talk about. I sat down in a chair next to him.
"You look a lot better." He said.
"Thanks, Chris just said the same."
"It's true. You weren't yourself this morning."
"I didn't feel like myself. So, what's on your mind?"
"Well, I wanted to talk to you about tonight." He answered. "I know this match is totally unfair."
"That it is." I said.
"Do you want me to be by your side? I know Rikishi will be involved."
"You mean come out with me? Destiny with Jeff Hardy?"
"That's what I mean." He answered.
"I'd like that." I said.
OK, so it wasn't the "I like you" thing, but it's a step. A small one, but a good one. He put his arm around me and we left the arcade. He told me Matt was in the indoor pool with Matt, Hunter, and Dwayne.
"It's not fair! You know all the cool jumps!" I heard Hunter complain.
"Yeah, but you make the bigger splash." Matt said.
"They bitch about the stupidest things." I told Jeff.
"I know." He replied. We walked in.
"Hey!" Dwayne said, then was pushed by Matt into the pool.
"Now you look like yourself." Hunter said coming up to me. He gave me a hug.
"Glad I'm feeling better." I said.
"You do have to fight Haku." He replied.
"I know!" I cried.
"But, you and Steph are going to have a few things to say."
"True, should make it interesting." I said.
"Jeff, Des why don't you come in?" Matt called.
"Sure." Jeff said. He stripped down to his boxers and jumped in. I took my clothes off down to my underwear and bra and got in.
"We should go skinny dipping." Hunter slipped.
"I like that idea." I said with a smile. All of their faces lit up.
"You're not serious, are you?" Jeff asked.
"Well, if three of you left." I answered.
"What three?" Hunter asked.
"I can't tell you." I swam over and got into the hot tube part of the pool. Matt followed.
"Jeff." He said.
"Huh?"
"You'd want all of us to leave, but Jeff."
"Oh, yeah." I said looking down.
"You might not get your shot in front of everyone." He started. "Jeff might make his move before then."
"You have to make sure he doesn't." I told him.
"You don't know my brother." He said. "When Jeff finds something he likes, he goes for it full on. It's a good thing, yet one of his biggest flaws."
"I have to do this."
"Then do it today, or on RAW, or Smackdown."
"I've got Vince on my back, heavy." I said. "I'm lucky if I can get this out tonight. It's not going to be easy."
"I understand you got Vince and shit, but if you want to do this, then I suggest it be soon." He sunk down in the water. "Kinda reminds you of something, doesn't it?"
"Yeah." I answered.
The warm water and jets felt good on my still sore leg. It never was the same since the car accident. But, I'm still going strong, metal rod and all.
"Well, if she was gonna be in her underwear I'd be down here sooner!" Adam yelled running over to me and Matt.
"Nice to see you too, Adam." I said.
"Too bad none of that's white." He pointed.
"Adam, keep your comments to yourself." Matt said. "Please."
Adam shrugged and stripped down to nothing and jumped in. Everyone yelled at him to put something on. Adam can get real crazy sometimes.
"I beg of you, cover yourself up!" Hunter cried.
Adam gave into our begs and put his boxers on. We thanked him greatly for that. Hunter found a beachball laying around and we used that to play so volleyball. It was me, Matt, and Adam, and Jeff Vs Dwayne, Hunter, and Jay, and Jericho. He showed up just in time for the game and was put onto that team.
Their playing didn't get any better from back when we played on the beach in Miami. Adam was all over our half of the pool. Banging into everyone. Such a spaz. Vince came in and saw us. We all stopped when we saw him.
"Destiny." He said. He walked over with the sly grin on his face.
"Yes?" I asked.
"Saw the show." He replied. "A 180 huh?"
"You can't get mad at me for that. I didn't diss you in any way."
"Your match tonight is now a 2 on 1 tag." He said, then left.
I wanted to cry. I got out of the pool, wrapped a towel around my waist and went outside. I felt the tears rise up in me. I didn't, and couldn't, hold them back and let them flow.
"Destiny?" Jeff asked. I flung myself on him.
"How can he does this to me?" I cried. "I can't handle this. 2 on 1 tag?"
"I know, it's unfair."
"You have no idea." I said. "I don't know why I should even bother. I can't win with him."
"Don't quit." He told me.
"I might as well. I'll hand this over to Amy, apologize for everything and just leave."
"No. I didn't think of you as someone who would just quit like that." He said.
"What's the use?" I yelled. I pulled away from him. "I've got this title, something I thought meant so much. Now, it means nothing. I can't look at it without thinking of the negatives."
"You'll get through all of this, I promise." He said. He took my hands. "I promise you, look me in the eyes. I promise."
I've never seen him so serious. I nodded my head. He brushed away my tears and pulled me into his chest. I was actually scared about tonight. Scared because Haku and Rikishi were more than twice my size. And, even though Jeff was going to be there with me, it wasn't enough.
I excused myself from everyone and went up to my room. I took the belt out of my bag and tossed it on my bed. I took a long hard look at it. Then, I got a second idea for tonight. One that would be so painful for me to do. But, one I had to do.
There was a soft knock at me door a few minutes later. I was expecting Jeff, but opened and saw Adam. He walked in. He saw the belt on my bed and said, "no one deserves that more than you right now."
"I'm beginning to think it's more like a weight than anything else."
"Look, I know you're real pissed right now. Pissed at Vince, the world. I'm sorry, I really am. But, I can't let you leave, and I can't let you look at this belt as nothing."
"I don't want to leave. And, it doesn't mean nothing, it means a lot. But it's hard for me to look at that and not think of something negative." I said. "It's hard to explain."
"Don't try." He replied. "I just want you to know that I'm here for you. You don't have to be shy or scared to come to me. My door's always open."
"Thank you, Adam." I said. He smiled a cheesy smile and I giggled. "Works all the time. Seriously, I'm here if you need me."
I nodded and he left. I laid down and feel asleep. The phone woke me up. It was Matt. He told me to get my ass out of bed and get to the lobby. I sighed, fixed my hair, grabbed my belt, and left.
"You looked better before I left." Adam said. He looked at my face. "Have you been crying?" I shook my head. "Don't lie." I looked up at him. My eyes were red and wet, the tears were flowing. "Oh, hunny. It's OK. It's going to be fine."
"What's wrong?" Stephanie asked. She came over and saw me. "What did my father do?"
"Changed the match. It's one on two tag. Haku and Rikishi Vs her." Jeff answered softly.
"You're kidding." She said. Jeff shook his head. Steph took me from Adam. "I am going to kill that man."
She took me away from the guys. I'm glad she did. She took me to the arena. I had to calm down if I wanted to make this speech. I washed my face several times. I changed into what I'd be wearing tonight and got ready to head out with Steph. The belt was around my waist.
My music was what we walked out to. Steph didn't get booed, since she was with me. We got into the ring and she took the mic first.
"Lets hear it for you WWF's Women's Champ!" She said. The crowd freaked. "But, we're not here to flaunt this belt. We're here to confront my father. You see, he has made a two on one tag match involving Destiny here. Her Vs Haku and Rikishi." The crowd booed.
I took the mic. "Mr. McMahon believes I am too popular for him. Well, as my good friend Shawn Michaels would say, suck it!" I had to throw the D-X in. "You're too wrapped up in Trish to even know what's going on in the business." I looked down at my belt and took it off. "Vince, I'm going to make you a deal. If you change this match, I'll turn in my belt." The crowd and Stephanie looked at me. "I'm serious, Vince."
His music started and he came out. He looked at us both. He was none to happy. "Your belt if I change the match?"
"Yes."
"All right then." He took the belt from me and walked up, just before he left he turned and faced the ring. "You're match is still on."
"No!" I cried as my knees hit the ring. I should have known that would happen. "Vince! You're a two-faced reekaziod. An ignorant fool! You could give a shit about the people who work for you!"
At time, Stone Cold came out. He took Vince and dragged him back into the ring. "You're completely disrespectful. How can you say that? How can you flap your gums like that?" Vince thought he was talking about himself, I thought he was talking about Vince. But, after that he kicked me then stunned me and left with Vince.
Steph was by my side. She helped me backstage. I went right to Austin. I barged into his locker room with ice on my neck. There was no camera man.
"Des." He said looking at me.
"What the fuck happened out there?" I asked.
"I can see you're pissed."
"Oh, I am way more than pissed."
"All right. Look, I don't mean anything. This means nothing."
"Means nothing? You sided with Vince fucking McMahon!" I yelled.
"No need to get loud." He told me. "Look, I did that to help you out. Gives Triple H and Rocky one hell of a reason to hook up. I mean, not only do they have Steph, but now you." I looked at him. "I don't really want to side with him. What he's doing is wrong, but I figured it would help."
"You're doing this for that reason?" I asked.
"Yes." He answered. "I'm sorry I didn't have time to tell you."
"No, no, it's OK. Sorry for getting so mad."
"I would have too." He started to rub my neck. "I didn't do it hard for a reason. You'll be fine."
I nodded and left. I felt like an ass, but I had to know. I walked into our locker room. Everyone want to know if I was OK. I explained why Austin did what he did. Hunter laughed saying that was typical Austin. Doing something, and then explaining later.
"How am I going to get that title back?" I asked a little later. "Vince'll never give me another title shot, ever."
"Don't worry about that now." Matt told me. "Lets get through tonight first."
"Matt's right." Adam added. "It's no use getting worked up over that now. You have a very important match tonight. You need to think about getting out of that one OK."
"Right now, I'll give up that match. Give them the victory." I said.
"This doesn't sound like you at all." Chris spoke up. He's been pretty quiet on this subject. "Now, I may not know you like Adam or Matt does, or Jeff and Jay do. But, I do know enough about you to know that this doesn't sound like you. I know you're not the one to give up. Vince wants you to do that. He wants you to give up so he can just get rid of you. Like I said, I may not know you that well, but I do know this isn't you and you're not the type of person to just give up."
I looked at him. He was right. I never gave up anything. Giving into Vince this way would be the reason he tossed me out of the federation. Dwayne came into the locker room after a few words with Steph in the hall way. He came into silence.
"I saw what happened, Destiny." He said. "I'm sorry I couldn't be here right away. I had to do some camera things."
"It's OK, Dwayne." I replied.
"I'm going to make sure you get that belt back." Steph told me.
"Thank you, everyone." I said.
I felt very wanted at that point. I felt that people actually cared about me. It's a good feeling. Jeff put his arm around me. Everyone scattered shortly after. Steph persuaded me to go with her and Hunter and talk about Austin with Rocky.
"Today couldn't be any worse." I said. The camera man was set and rolling. "First, Vince screws with me, and now I have no belt, and I still have to face Haku and Rikishi, and I got stunned!"
"Don't worry, Austin will get what he deserves." Rocky said. He looked at Hunter.
"I want a piece of him, him and Vince." I said.
"Now, I don't think that's a good idea." Steph replied.
"I don't care." I said.
"Don't worry now." Rocky told me. "Let us worry about that."
"No need for you getting hurt, or pissing Vince off more." Hunter added.
The two of them left. They went to the ring. They proceeded to walk out together. The first time they made an appearance together. The crowd really didn't know how to act.
"I know that this is different to you all." Hunter said. "But, I think even you people can figure this out."
"Right, Triple H and The Rock are here to say a few things to Vince McMahon." The Rock said. "The candy ass has pissed off two very powerful men." At that point the Hardy Boyz music started. A twist in our plan that wasn't expected.
"It's great the two of you have hooked up." Matt said. They stood at the top of the ramp. Jeff stood there with his hands in his pockets nodding at what Matt was saying. "It really is. But, you're not only ones pissed off at Vince and Austin. Sure, Triple H, Austin made a pass at your wife. I know that sucks. But, Austin and Vince double crossed our partner. And, it's safe to say we want a piece of them too."
Jeff took the mic. "We're not saying you shouldn't be mad too. What we really want is your help. You two have great motives for a fight against them. So do we. Here's the deal. If any of you get into a thing with any of them, Matt and I will be there swinging. But, if they go after us, you have to have our backs." Matt and Jeff had made their way to the ring during their speech.
"Like a protection thing?" Hunter asked.
"You bet."
Now, what was about to go down, I can't believe went down. Our entire idea on how this would work went out the window. And, a new, better way began. Before Rocky and Triple H could give their answers, Edge and Christian's music started. They stood at the top of the ramp for a little.
"Now, we're not out here to make tasteless jokes about you people." Edge said. "I mean, we could do that for hours!"
"Right, it's so easy to make fun of you people from Omaha, Nebraska! But, we're out here for a reason." Christian added.
"We don't want to seem like total gearboxes and not doing anything with this. We're close to Destiny too. And, Steph's helped us out one time, I think." Edge said. "Anyway, we're here because we want in on this little game."
"Yeah, we so want to be part of this. It reeks of awesomeness." Christian said. In the ring, Matt, Jeff, Rocky, and Triple H looked at them as if they had four heads each. Edge and Christian got into the ring. Then, Jericho's music started.
"How can you converse about something that I helped with without me being here?" He asked. He ran into the ring to make his speech. "I feel so hurt. You would make a protection deal or whatever without me being here."
"You want in, is that what this is coming down to?" Hunter asked.
"Well, junior." He said. "Pretty much."
There was a minute of silence before Hunter opened his mouth. "It's settled then." The crowd broke his speech with a loud, huge cheer.
"Stephanie, what's going on?" I asked. We were watching.
"Everything they planned is like, gone."
The deals were made. And, in one night, the idea that would take a few days was set. There was a commercial after this. Steph and I ran to them.
"What happened?" I asked.
"Don't ask." Hunter answered. "I think I speak for all of us when I say, I have no freaking idea what happened or what was said."
"You made all of that up?" Steph asked.
"Yes." Jeff answered.
Talk was short, I had to get ready for my match and E and C had a tag match. I was shaking while I was changing. Jeff was standing there.
"It's going to be fine." He said. "We've officially got a lot of people behind us."
"I know. But, I can't help but to be scared."
He came up to me and kissed my cheek. "It's OK." Then, he left.
The signs were so clear, on both parts. The people around us had to of known. I wondered if Jeff knew that I liked him? He probably could tell. I mean, who can't?
Anyway, time came for my match. A few things happened backstage before then. Rikishi and Haku came out first. I had helped Undertaker and Kane against them. They had a reason to beat me up bad. Then, me and Jeff came out.
I did my thing on the turnbuckle and got ready to face Haku first. Jeff stood outside the ring and led a chant in. I was getting my but kick. Every move I did didn't do a damn thing to them. They tagged in constantly, just to get to me. Jeff had enough of them beating me. He climbed onto the turnbuckle and when the ref was busy with Haku he nailed Rikishi. I was still out, he dragged me onto Rikishi. But, even Jeff's perfect jump didn't help. Rikishi was down for two, then shoved me off. I came around when he pushed me off.
Jeff was pissed. He wanted this victory because of what Vince did. Haku and Rikishi were just the lucky ones asked to beat me up. Haku noticed Jeff's efforts to help me and came after Jeff. He did a number on him and awaited the tag. In the middle of the match, Vince came down holding my once owned Women's Title. That was flue for my anger. I charged and Rikishi and got some good shots on him. But, I couldn't finish it off. He sat on my chest for the pin, and win. I couldn't move.
After the three count, Jeff dove into the ring and came to me. He held me into his arms and started yelling at Haku and Rikishi. His anger wasn't towards them, and they knew it. Then, Jeff looked at Vince who was standing there laughing. He held up the Women's belt. Jeff got pissed even more and dove at him and started punching him. I remained in the ring not moving.
