When they were back stage Edge took Kayla by the arm practically dragging
her towards his dressing room. "What were you thinking?!" he hissed as he
hurried her down the hall.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Kayla demanded as he opened the door and shoved her inside shutting the door behind him.
"I told you to stay away from Test!" Edge reminded her. "You obviously didn't listen."
"What was I supposed to do huh, Edge?" Kayla yelled back at him, "Stand there and let him hit you with that chair? He would have beaten the shit out of you!"
"You don't think before you act, Kayla!" Edge exclaimed, "You just started a whole bunch of trouble and you're gonna get hurt! What you did was extremely stupid!"
"Fuck you, Edge." Kayla bit out. "I'm so sorry if I didn't want to see you get hurt. Sorry I gave a damn." Kayla turned to walk out but Edge reached out and grabbed her arm.
"Damn it, Kayla, wait." Edge sighed softly.
Kayla stopped but didn't turn around. Edge sighed again and gently turned her to face him. "I'm sorry." He apologized, "I shouldn't be yelling at you. You were great out there and you saved my ass." Edge reached out and gripped her chin, "But Test is really gonna be after you now. I don't want you to get hurt because you helped me."
Kayla was silent for a moment before she spoke. "Look, Edge," she began, "I know I've just met you guys, but you're all my friends now." Kayla smiled at him. "And that's what friends do. You would have done it for me."
Edge shook his head. "You've got a point." He conceded. "But we're going to have to tell Jeff and the others about the little incident in the locker room." Kayla opened her mouth to protest but Edge cut her off. "No arguments. We're going to have to keep an eye out for Test so they have to know."
Someone knocked on the door. "That's probably them now." Edge opened the door and sure enough Team Xtreme and Jericho were on the other side.
Jeff swept Kayla up in a hug. "Great job out there!" he praised.
Kayla returned the hug laughing. "Thanks! It felt great."
"She did good." Edge agreed before turning serious. "But we may have a problem."
"Edge . . ." Kayla pleaded trailing off with a sigh.
"What problem?" Matt asked looking between the two confused.
"You see, Kayla and Test had sort of a run in the yesterday and after what happened tonight . . . he's probably not gonna be too happy." Edge replied wearily.
"Care to explain?" Jeff asked an edge to his voice.
Soon Jericho and Edge had explained the situation and the Hardy's and Lita sat shaking their heads. "Of all people why did you mess with Test?" Matt groaned.
Kayla sighed. "You act like this was Stone Cold or Triple H. Test can be beaten." Kayla reminded them. "They've all been beaten. He's not God. Besides what is he gonna do? He knows better than to touch me. He's been warned."
Jeff placed his hands on her shoulders. "Just be careful, okay?"
Kayla smiled and stood on tiptoe to kiss his cheek. "I will. Don't worry about me."
Two days later Jeff helped Kayla carry all her things back into her apartment. "Are you sure you're okay by yourself?"
Kayla laughed. "It's been four days you heard the doctor I'm fine. 'Sides tomorrow is Smackdown and you'll get to see me there. I'll be just fine in the mean time."
"Okay." Jeff hesitated a moment before turning towards the door. "Well, I'll see you tomorrow then."
"Good bye, Jeff." Kayla walked over and hugged. "Thanks so much for everything."
"Anytime." Jeff assured her with a smile. "I'm gonna get going. "See ya tomorrow."
Kayla closed the door behind him and then headed for bed a smile on her face.
