*AT THE ARENA*









"Matt bro I'm cool!" Jeff patted his brother on the back. They'd snuck in the back entrance for the show. They were at least 30 minutes early in the way that Matt drove. They'd just taken Alexandra to their trainer to be checked over. Upon seeing the burn scar on Jeff's lower back Matt nearly keeled over. And he hadn't even seen Alexandra's bruises yet. Matt had that worried big brother look on his face.







"Yea you're always cool." Matt hugged him and Jeff slid on a fresh shirt. They had a match in 10 minutes. Jeff wanted to be out there burn or not that's just how he felt about his job. "I can't believe that this all happened in one night."









"Well believe it man…for now we have a living, breathing, and hopefully fully functional teenaged girl in our midst." Jeff nodded when the door opened and the trainer helped Alexandra into the room. She had a fresh pair of sweats on that they'd borrowed from Amy, much to her confusion, and she looked pretty cleaned up. Her ribs were bandaged and the trainer had put a crème on the back of her legs to soothe the stinging of the red strips where the leather strap had been.









"What do you mean for now?" Matt looked at Alexandra a second before pulling her into his arms and helping her the rest of the way to the small couch in a corner of the men's locker room. They were lucky no one had come in. Or at least no one had come in yet.







"How ya doin' sweets?" Jeff helped her roll over to her side.











"Five by Five..Livin Large." She quoted one of her favorite characters on her other favorite show. Jeff managed a laugh while Matt crouched down next to her. She smiled slightly at him. He brushed some strands that were sticking to her face.









"You don't have to go back there.." Matt began. He could already feel himself getting a bit choked up. "You could stay with us. We'd take care of you…I know I would indefinitely."









"Well I can't exactly go back home I don't want to go back." She looked from Matt to Jeff she really had no other choice and they wouldn't just rape her or something and leave her on the side of the road so she trusted them. She jumped and then winced as a hard knock sounded at the door. The knob turned and Amy burst in.













"Guys!" She exclaimed oblivious to the happenings of the early night. "Match 5 minutes, wait, and make that 4 minutes!"









"Hey Ames.." Jeff turned to look at her trying to show as little pain as possible. Standing in front of Alexandra he and Matt made sure she didn't see her. It didn't do much of a good thing because Amy did her traditional "jump on Matt and Jeff before a match thing". Alexandra groaned at Matt's warmth not being beside her and blinked before closing her eyes again. Amy looked from her to Matt and Jeff then back to her.





"Who the hell are you and why are you wearing my sweats?" Amy was seldom protective over the guys except when it came to odd-looking girls sitting on a couch wearing her clothes. When Alexandra didn't answer her she got irritated. "Ummmm hello???? Did you not hear me?"







"Amy cool it!" Jeff groaned from beneath her. She was on his back and was killing him. "And please get off!"







"Geez what crawled up your ass and died?" She looked at Jeff's back when she stood up. His shirt was now rumpled and had been pulled up. A few purple and blue bruises lined up his spine and at the bottom was a large red burn mark. It didn't look too bad but bad enough for Amy to fly off a deep end.





"Matt what did you do to your brother or did SHE do this?" Amy glared at Matt she was well aware of the horsing around that went on between the two and seeing as Matt always won one way or another it was usually Jeff with his ass handed back to him. She then glared at the girl on the couch. "I know you're not asleep get up! What did you do to him!?"







"AMES!" Jeff yelled and she stopped. "She didn't do anything! Matt and me have some explaining to do and yes we know itz weird there's a 17-year-old girl on the couch of the Men's locker room. Looks like she could be a ho but she isn't now please let us get this out!"





"Well you see Ames it all started with this contest…." Matt began. He told her the whole thing. Down to the part about the house burning down. Amy had since dropped her jaw. She looked like he'd hit her in the head with a truck and then some. Jeff patted her cheek. She was still trying to process all of the information they'd just fed her.





"Are you serious?" She looked at them incredulously.









"Yes and we need you to stay with her during our match. She'll be touring with us she can't go back home." Matt said looking down at the exhausted Alexandra on the couch. "Please.."







"I agree there… I'll stay with her you guys hurry up and get to your match." She smiled at them and then at Alexandra she'd always wanted a little sister. "Well it's just you and me kid."







"I'm not a kid." Alexandra snorted. Amy laughed and pulled a blanket over the girl and watched the monitor as her buds ran down the ramp and into the ring already worn out from the long day. Hopefully they'd be able to finish the script and not screw up.









"Matt I want in!" Jeff yelled at his brother who was ignoring the script and trying to pull the match on his own. Jeff let out a frustrated grunt. His brother called himself protecting him. When fully knowing that if he didn't put him in he'd put himself in to stop matt from getting completely pummeled by the team of Crash Holly and Tommy Dreamer. Jeff jumped in the ring and took down Tommy Dreamer letting Matt catch his breath. The ref. was distracted with Matt and Crash Holly ran into the ring and began a vicious attack on Jeff. Jeff groaned in pain as he felt a kick to the back. The burn began to sizzle and burn again. He rolled out of the ring and Matt was up again. Knocking Crash over the top rope just as Jeff got up. The ref. Called out that Matt wasn't the legal man. Jeff tagged him and Matt went to work on Tommy Dreamer. He pulled Tommy into the twist of fate and climbed up the turnbuckle. He did a moonsault and rolled Tommy up for the pin. Jeff was taking care of Crash holly and vaugely felt the pain at his back. Climbing up the opposite turnbuckle Jeff caught him in a Swanton bomb just as the bell rang announcing the end of the match. Jeff looked up at Matt being pulled to his feet by the ref. he didn't have the strength to pull himself into the ring to celebrate the victory. Matt climbed out of the ring and helped his brother who was suffering spasms of pain from the burn up the ramp and back stage.





"THEY WON!!" Lita pumped her fist in the air excitedly. "God I hope Jeff is alright.."





"He's fine!" Amy jumped at the sound of a deep voice. She turned slowly to see a strong form in front of her. She sighed partly in relief partly in an emotion that she didn't really think she was capable of feeling. "Thank God it's just you…" She looked back at Alexandra still hidden beneath the blanket. "I mean get out NOW!!"







"Jeez Amy I didn't think you'd push me out of your life that fast." Dwayne rolled his eyes and looked at the couch. " Why are you in the men's locker room and what's under the blanket?"







"UHHHHHHH Nothing……" She squeaked. Where were Matt and Jeff when you really needed them she thought. "And…he…well NOTHING!" She raised her arms in an "I don't know what you're talking about" gesture.







"Really and why do you have a shit eating grin on your face." Amy dodged his advances to the couch. She couldn't let Alexandra be found out. Finally he got tired of trying and picked her up and set her aside manually. "There we go now let's see here…"









"NO!!!" Amy yelled but it was too late Dwayne had pulled the covers off the girl. He jumped back in surprise.









"What the hell is that!?!" He looked at her. "You're keeping a girl for a pet… you are one sick noodle Amy."







"Did you just say noodle?" It was her turn to look at him like he was crazy.









"I'm not a girl!" Alexandra coughed and tried to sit up. She felt nauseated and laid back down. "I'm a 17-year-old girl damn it!"





"Look Dwayne I'm going to tell you something and you can't tell anyone!" Amy looked at him seriously.







"And that would be?" Dwayne looked at Amy with a questioning look on his rugged face.





"Matt and Jeff did this contest and she was the winner….when she invited them home they accepted." Dwayne went to open his mouth but she held her hand up. "When they got to the house she was being severely abused by her father and now she can't go back... We're keeping her here under our protection."



"You are kidding right?" Amy shook her head no and he ran and hand down his face obviously contemplating the situation he'd somehow drug himself into.





"Dwayne please do this for me..Please…"Amy gripped his arm and looked up into his eyes. Dwayne felt something stir within him and sighed. He patted her hand.





"Alright I won't tell…" He looked down at her and wrapped his arms around her. "I wish we didn't have to keep secrets.."







"This one is different." Amy stated leaning into him. She leaned up for a kiss that would never come as the door burst open and they skidded apart and sported shocked expressions on their faces.



"What happened now?" Jeff and Matt stumbled into the locker room. Jeff leaned on the wall. Matt grabbed him an ice pack and handed it to him. Jeff put it on his back and let the coolness soothe the pain.







"Shit Dwayne you can't tell anyone that's she's here…." Matt rushed over to Dwayne and Amy his eyes wide and pleading. Amy sighed in relief he didn't see them and didn't suspect anything had been going on between them. Boy oh boy if they knew they'd fly off the handle inspecting Dwayne like every other boyfriend she'd had since she'd met them and became like a sister.









"If I didn't know any better….." Dwayne started and Jeff cut him off. Nobody noticed the sideways glance he threw at Amy.







"You don't!" Jeff ducked an in coming shoe that Lita had thrown at him. " Hey Dwayne keep your GIRL under control."







"ummmmm…" Dwayne and Lita looked off. Amy felt her stomach lurch and Dwayne looked like he'd been kicked in the balls. When Jeff began to question the looks on their faces they schooled their features.





"I need to get new friends…" Jeff muttered and picked up a black book from the edge of the couch.





"Please!!!" Matt looked at them completely oblivious to the other happenings of the room.









"Promise…!" Dwayne held his hands up in a boy scout honor sign and snickered. "SCOUTS HONOR I swear."









"She'll need a new name…"Lita put in as Matt and Dwayne exchanged dirty looks. "And new clothes."











"We can always pass her off as your cousin." Jeff looked up from reading a little black book which Matt quickly snatched from his hands. "hey didn't mom and dad teach you not to snatch and to share?"









"That's her's…" Matt set the book in the crook of Alexandra's arm. "We'd have to dye her hair and everything."











"Anything but red…" Alexandra looked up fully awake at the bunch.











"How about red and black?" Matt suggested. Jeff nodded in approval of the color choice.









"Hmmmmm I guess…." She looked into his dark pools and found herself lost. Neither heard the names that were being thrown out.









"Alexia!" Jeff tossed out.







"Sounds too much like her real name…" Amy commented. Alexandra coughed and Matt ran to get her some water.









"Alexia sounds fine to me…."Alexandra smiled at them..Her friends?









"Welcome to the wwf Alexia Dumas…… I'm Dwayne Johnson." Dwayne held her hand and shook it.









"You're apart of this family now." Jeff said as Matt helped Alexia sit up and drink her water.







"Thank you.." she looked at all of their faces. "thank you so much."















That's the end of chapter 3!!!! Hope you enjoyed it!
