I was the happier than I had been in a few days when I saw the Hardyz walking down the platform to the ring. I knew then that through anything I would be able to count on them for anything.
We boarded the plane and I tried to fall asleep on Dwaynes large shoulder, but for some reason I just wasn't comfortable.
"Is everything all right? You have been moving around an awfull lot every since the plane took off." Dwayne said to me stroking my head.
"I guess that I am o.k. I mean I just don't feel comfotable and I don't know why. I mean I should be so happy right now. I have you, and Matt and Jeff just shocked me by going out there and taking my side, but I guess that I just can't."
"Maybe it is just because we are on a plane. You were never a good flyer."
"I know but today feels different. I feel like there is something that is really wrong around here and I can't explain it."
"Well I hope that nothing bad does happen because I don't know what I would do if something happened to you. Have you talked to Steve since the other day?"
"No I haven't. I feel like I want to go and hug him and tell him that I will give up everything for him, but I just can't. I mean if I gave you up I would have to die of heartbreak."
"Well, I would to. Maybe you can talk to Debra about Steve."
"That is if I can get a hold of her. I know that she thinks that he is making this bigger then it actually is but I know that she is going to side with Steve."
"Well she is his wife, I mean, what can you do about it. I still feel horrible about the whole thing. If I get my hands on that Lita."
"You won't do a thing. I am going to handle her and no one else is going to touch her." I said interrupting him.
"You are one tough women aren't you."
"Yes I am, and that is the thing that attracted you to me in the first place."
"That is very true. Now sleep, you haven't slept within the last few days."
"I know one good thing that came out of all this."
"The fact that you will listen to me for once and sleep."
"No, that we can be open about our relationship."
"That is a good thing." Dwayne smiled and gave me a kiss.
"God, you let out that you are dating and you can't wait forty-eight hours to slobber on each other in public."
I looked up and saw Triple H standing there smiling.
"How you two doing."
"Hey Hunter. How you been, long time no see." I said smiling looking up at him.
"Yeah I know. I've been good, a little busy with things but loving every minute of it. So how are you holding up?"
"I wish that people would stop asking me that question. I'm doing o.k. I guess. It just doesn't help when people keep on talking about it. I am going to get my revenge though."
"Well be carefull. I have gottten revenge on people that turned into me getting seriously injured."
"You mean Steve." I said.
"I mean him and others, like Rocky here."
"Hey, I only do what the situation calls for."
"Well kids I have to be going now. Stop by my room later and we'll talk."
"Of course I will." I said.
"Our seven month anniversary is on Tuesday. What are we going to do"
"How about what we do every year. Go to the taping, get on a plane, or go to a hotel room and say happy anniversary."
"Are you a little upset about not being able to go out and do normal things?"
"Sometimes I am, but I can't complain because I have a great life here."
I saw Steve walk down the aisle, look at me and pass by. I let out a painful sigh.
"I'll be right back." Dwayne said getting up and walking quickly down the aisle.
"Where are you going?" I said after him.
"I'll be right back, don't worry about it," he said once again.
I sat there confused and hoping that he was not going to go and talk to Steve. A minute later Christian came by and sat next to me.
"So where's Rocky?"
"I don't know. He just got up and left."
"I thought that he would have been back by now."
"What do you mean?"
"When I came out of the bathroom he was talking to your brother."
"What?!"
"Oh you didn't know? Forget that I said anything about it."
"No, tell me what you heard."
"I didn't hear anything."
"Jay you can't do this to me. You are one of my closest friends, you have to tell me what they were talking about."
"The only thing that I heard was Rocky saying that he was sorry. I swear that that is all that I heard. I guess he was apologizing about something but I don't know what."
"Oh, god that is just going to make things worse."
"Hey, I'm sure that it isn't as bad as it all seems."
"Rocky just went over to apologize to Steve for dating me without him knowing. I know my brother better then anyone here, and I know that he does not want to hear about us."
"O.k. so maybe it is as bad as it seems. Listen they both love you and I bet that they are working through things civily."
"Ten to one that they are getting ready to scream at eachother. I'll be back, hopefully in one piece." I got up and walked to the bathroom area. I saw the two of them standing there face to face.
"You don't know that I won't take care of her."
"Yes I do. I have seen all that I need, and, I know that if you let her go through what she went through then, no, you won't take care of her."
"That isn't true. All I am asking for is a chance."
"A chance to what, get my little sister killed inside the ring. Or to break her heart? All I know is that I need to watch out for her best interest."
"Which would be smacking her on live television" Dwayne said finishing Steves sentence.
"That is not what I was going to say."
"Well then tell me what is in her best interest." They were both getting louder.
"Staying away from you."
"Hey hey hey. Both of you back off of eachother right now."
"I can take you on anyday Rocky. You wanna go then let's go."
"I said stop it." I yelled pushing them back. As soon as I would push them apart they would get in each others faces again.
"Then let's go right here right now. You win I'll stay away."
"Let's do it."
"I am not some prize to be won I do have a heart."
"Get out of here before you get hurt Kayla." Dwayne said taking off his sweatshirt.
"This has nothing to do with you Kayla so leave."
"Excuse me Steve? Nothing to do with me? It has everything to do with me."
"Get out of here Kayla," both men said at the same time.
"Listen to me, I am not going anywhere. I am not a prize to be fought over. You, Steve are the last person that I would listen to right now. Don't you remember that you no longer have a sister."
"You heard her."
"And you Dwayne, I would expect that you would act a little differently. We have been going out for seven months and I thought maybe you had a little more respect for me than that. Right now both of you better think about what you said while I walk away, and tell you that I belong to neither of you. I am not property to either of you, I am a free women, and, until you can realize that I am through with the both of you." I walked away angrier than I could handle. I sat back down in my chair.
"You're back in one piece." Jay said smiling.
"Not exactly. God why do men treat women like belongings? I just yelled at both of them and walked away. I think I just told Dwayne that we were over." I stared at the back of the seat for a few seconds as it all hit me. Tears started rolling down my face. Jay took me and brought me into a hug and then gave me to Matt.
"Hey, listen everything is going to be just fine with you and him. You two love eachother and will get back together." he told me repeatedly to make me feel better.
When I felt that I felt a little better I took my head off his chest and smiled. "You are probably right. I don't know wht I am acting like this."
"Oh is your poor little life falling apart?" I looked up and saw Lita.
"Lita." Matt yelled
"No let her talk. I wanna hear what she has to say. I mean even the sluttiest and degrading of all women have opinions."
"Very funny. All I see is a whining, sniveling, complaining, fake wrestler who can't take the fact that her relationship with the Rock was all fake.
"I'm glad that you think that, bcause then it really gives me a reason to beat you in and out of the ring."
"O.k. both of you just stop. Don't do this, not here, not now." Matt said getting a little concerned.
"I just have one thing to say. Lita you are the epitome of a greaseball. You are a disgrace to all women. You have single handedly degraded and demoralized the women all around this country."
"All of this just comes from jealousy. I have what you want and you can't take it."
"I can take anything that you dish out. You aren't a fourth of the woman that I am."
"Then why are you sitting here crying about what I was responsible for."
"I beat you in the ring and I can do it again. Any high flying aerial move I can do two times better."
"Then why am I in 2xtreme?"
"That can all be changed."
"Girls stop it." Matt said now yelling at the both of us.
"Show me how."
"Kayla don't." Matt put his hand on my and looked at me pleadingly.
"My pleasure." I leapt up from my seat and started punching and slapping her. She managed to whip me into the seats as she took a handfull of my hair. I gave her a sharp elbow and rammed her head into a chair. I snapped and didn't look back. After that I can't remember what happened. The next thing I knew I was being held back by Dwayne and Steve as Lita was held back by Matt and Jeff. She spit at me and I broke free from the grip of both men. I ran over to her and kneed her as she was still held back by Matt and Jeff. Vince came over and looked at the both of us.
"Well it is obvious that you two cannot wait until you are in the ring for me to make this little announcement. It has been stated that the both of you want a one on one match. I have also been told that the whole feud has started over one single thing. A spot in Team Xtreme. So in the interest of fairness I have made a special match. Not being able to wait about twenty four hours till Heat I will tell you that my solution is simple. The two of you will face off in a regular ring match and the winner will walk away either the continuing member of 2xtreme or the newest member of 2extreme."
"What?" Lita asked shocked at what she had just heard.
"Now is the one who can't handle the other? I'l see you dead in that ring tomorrow." I said pointing at her. I shoved through everyone and wwent to the bathroom. Everything that had just happened to me was to much for me to handle in a matter of minutes.
I sat down in the small place quietly crying, trying to get a hold on my emotions. There was a small knock on the door.
"Kay it's Jeff, please let me in."
I opened the door as he immediately pulled me into a hug.
"Listen I want you to talk to me. I want to know what just happened out there. Something else had to happen. You have been waiting for a match like this for a very long time and now is no time to be crying over anything."
"I know, and I am sorry for snapping like that there."
"That isn't what I want to hear. I can care less right now about Lita. I want to know why you are sitting here crying."
"It's over, it's all over."
"What are you talking about?"
"Dwayne and I are over. I ended it and then good ol' Lita comes walking up and making the same old comments."
"Why are you and Dwayne over?"
"Because I told him that we were."
"Why would you do something like that?"
"Because I was upset. They were saying that they would have a match and whoever won got me. I am not a trophy."
"Of course you aren't. Listen they are men and men will do what men will do. All they know is that you are a gem and they want you all to themselves."
"You think that I am a gem?"
"Of course you are. Look at you, you are smart and beautifull. You do everything that a guy loves to do. I knew that you would find someone to love you as soon as you first walked in that ring. And I know taht you don't want to hear this, but, I know that Dwayne is just the guy that can do that."
"No, that is the thing that I want to hear. I want to know that he loves me and that he will do anything to get me back."
"Well then tell him that."
"I can't. At least not now."
"Yes you can, and there is no time like the present." He got up and pushed me into the aisle.
"Jeff please not now and not here. I promise that I will talk to him. As soon as we get to the hotel I'll talk to him."
"You better. I can't stand to see you this upset."
"Thank you for being such a good friend to me."
He smiled and patted my shoulder. "I just want you to be happy that's all." He got up and went back to his seat.
I stayed in there a few extra minutes and calmed down. When I thought that I could handle going out there I took a deep breath and went to a different seat.
"Hey you feeling any better?" Adam(Edge) asked me with a smile.
"I am feeling a whole lot better thank you for asking."
"So what is on the agenda for tomorrow night?"
"Well I am finally going to claim my place in Team Xtreme once and for all."
"that is the kind of talk that can get you in trouble."
"Oh yes, this from a man who should be talking. Every where that you go you constantly diss people. You have a bigger mouth then I do. All I am doing is stating what I know, and what is fact."
"Yeah that I know. Matt and Jeff have wanted her out of there for a while but never got the nerve to tell her. They would have fired her soon enough had it not been for this match that was announced."
"I know, but she can't seem to understand that. And Dwayne is treating me like I am some sort of prize that he can win from Steve."
"Everything is going to turn out fine."
"Listen if Lita tries anything dirty will you be there to help me out?"
"You know it. The whole gang of us will."
The whole gang was made of Matt, Jeff, Jay, Adam, Triple H, Jericho, Chyna, Taker, Kane and Rocky. Steve refused to be part of my creation. I had started the rebel club. It was an odd mix but somehow I made it work.
"No, I don't want Rocky out there. And I am going to make that perfectly clear to him."
And I did. We walked up to our room in silence.
"Listen I want to say that I am sorry for what I said earlier." Dwayne said before we got in to the room. "But I think that if I beat Steve then he will leave us alone."
I let out a small scream and through my bag onto the bed.
"Do you get anything that I said before?"
"Of course I do."
"Then why do you insist on going against my brother? That is not going to help anything. All you are doing is making me choose sides and I am not about to do that."
"That isn't what I am trying to do. If you want I will drop the whole idea."
"Thank you very much."
"Now there is another thing that I want to talk to you about. The match tomorrow, the one against Lita, I don't liek it at all."
"That doesn't exactly matter to me right now. I am going out there and beating her and that is all there is to it."
"She's a smart fighter and I know that she is out for blood to keep her spot in 2xtreme."
"I know that. You have never been over-protective of me before, why start now?"
"Because I care about you and don't want you to get hurt. I want to be ringside during your match."
"No, I don't want anyone there. I am doing this by myself."
"I think that it is better if I go out with you. Maybe Steve doesn't want us together because I am not to protective over you. If I start now then he might change his mind."
"There you go again. You are making all of these plans and not even thinking about what I might think."
"As long as it works you'll go along with it."
"No, no I won't." I yelled.
"Yes you will. You have to if you want to fix things."
"You are not my father. I will fix things my way."
The argument went on for a few hours. Dwayne and I yelled back and forth about what I was going to do. I finally gave up and said that it was over. I walked out and went to Matt and Jeff's room.
"Kayla what are you doing here?" Jeff asked still half asleep.
"It's over. Can I stay the night?"
"Sure."
He took my hand and layed down next to me in the bed. I cried myself to sleep on his chest.
