Chapter Thirty Eight
Before going to the arena, Shane dropped Allie off home so that she could get changed before work. When she arrived at the apartment she knocked on Mandy's door.
"Hey Mandy are you awake?"
Mandy rolled over and bumped into Matt and got worried that Allie would see him so she quickly grabbed her dressing gown and climbed over Matt, who was still sleeping. She opened the door slightly and started to talk to Allie who asked if she needed a lift to the arena. Mandy said,
"No thanks. I've already organised a lift ... with Matt. But thanks anyway."
"That's cool ... I better go and get ready because Shane's waiting for me in the car"
Allie then walked off to her bedroom to get changed. When she returned she found Mandy in the kitchen making two cups of coffee. As Allied walked by she said,
"Gee Mandy you shouldn't have" pointing at the coffee
"Oh... umm... not a problem Allie..." Mandy said hoping to herself that Matt wouldn't come out of her room.
"I can't stay though. Sorry. But I'll see you later at the arena. Actually how about we all go out afterwards, you, me, Shane and Adam"
"Sounds good to me, but I'll have to see what Adam's up too. I'll catch up to you at some stage today ... and let you know"
"Ok cool ... I got to run but see you later"
"Bye" with that Allie left the apartment and headed to Shane's car. Once she'd left, Mandy pickled up the two cups of coffee and headed back to her room. When she returned she found Matt still fast asleep. She walked over to him and placed the coffees on the bedside table. She then sat on the edge of the bed and kissed him softly. As she did so Matt awoke and looked at her with a smile on his face.
"Morning Matty"
"Morning Mands"
"How did you sleep?"
"I had the best night sleep ever. Maybe because of a special someone next to me."
"Oh really?" Mandy looked at Matt with a curiously, "Oh by the way, I've made you a cup of coffee, it might wake you up a bit." Mandy said
"Thanks Mandy that was so sweet of you" Matt said before kissing Mandy softly.
Mandy and Matt ended up sitting in bed together talking and kissing for quite a few hours before they were interrupted by the phone ringing. Mandy lent over Matt to pick up the phone which was placed on her bedside table.
"Hello?" she asked still lying across Matt
"Hey Babe" Adam replied
"Adam..." Mandy said surprised as she sat up
"I hope I didn't wake you, but I just wanted to see how you are feeling this morning"
"Oh Adam you are so thoughtful. I'm feeling a lot better thanks."
"I'm so glad to hear that. I was a bit worried about you but I'm sure that Matt took care of you"
"Yeah he sure did"
"That's good. Anyway I better go ... but I'll see you later at the show" Adam said
"Yeah ok. Thanks again for the call ... you should drop by the locker room when you arrive."
"Ok I will ... bye"
"Bye" Mandy said before turning the phone off. She then looked at Matt who looked sadly at her.
"I knew this was a bad idea. I was going to tell you last night ... but you wouldn't let me ... it's just way to hard and too much for me to handle." Mandy sat stunned at what she'd just heard
"Oh Matt please don't be like this"
"Come on Mands you and I both know that if anyone found out about us it would hurt so many people, in particular Adam"
"Please don't do this Matt ... Not now... Please"
"I don't think I could ... even if I wanted too. I mean life without you is so lonely." Matt paused for a moment and looked at Mandy, "But can we cool things for the moment. I mean so that you can finally work out your feelings and decide who you want."
"But Matty ... I want you ... I told you that yesterday..." Mandy said putting her hand on Matt's leg
"You sure about that?"
"Yeah I am"
"I still think you need to think about things ... and if you change your mind I will understand"
"Ok Matty ... I'll think about it." Mandy said before kissing Matt softly. Matt tried to push her away but couldn't because he was enjoying himself so much.
Later that day...
Matt and Mandy arrived at the arena together with all their gear and headed to their dressing room. Along the way they joked around in a playful but flirtatious way. As they opened the door to the dressing room they were still laughing when they both noticed Adam, who was sitting on the bench near Mandy's locker.
"Hey Adam" Matt said giving him a little wave.
"Hey Matt ... I hope you guys don't mind me waiting in her ... but I really wanted to see Mandy"
"I might leave you two along ... and go for a walk" Matt said. Adam could sense that Matt wasn't happy and he felt that Matt was trying to hide something.
"Ok see you in the ring later today" Adam said smiling with one of his toothy smiles
"See you later" Mandy said as she brushed her hand down his arm before Matt left the locker room. Adam noticed this and thought it was a bit strange but thought nothing of it because after all Mandy and Matt were best friends.
"I thought you would have gotten here earlier" Adam said
"Oh well we were but decided against it as we were both so tied" Mandy said before kissing him. Adam had the feeling that there was something that Mandy wasn't telling him also, but he couldn't work it out. He decided not to think about it because it was probably nothing.
"So will you be watching the match today?"
"Yeah of course I will ... after all my favourite guys are fighting"
"Really and who might they be?" Adam asked with a smile on his face
"Chris and Kurt of course." Mandy laughed before kissing Adam again, "Oh by the way, do you have any plans for tonight?"
"I thought that you and I could spend the evening together ..."
"Because Allie would like us to go out with her and Shane ... but if you don't want too"
"That's fine with me, just so long as I can spend the evening with you" Adam said before pulling Mandy in and kissing her passionately. They were interrupted with a knock on the door. Mandy got up and answered it, thinking it would probably be Matt returning from his walk. To her surprise Vince was standing in front of her.
"Mr McMahon" Mandy said shocked
"Mandy, please call me Vince"
"Sorry ... Vince, what brings you here?"
"I was hoping I could talk to you in my office in a few minutes"
"Of course but what's it about?"
"I'll inform you later" Vince said before walking back down the corridor. Mandy walked back over to Adam with a confused look on her face.
"What did Vince want?" Adam asked
"I'm not too sure ... all I know is that he wants to see me in a few minutes."
"Oh don't worry about it. He probably just wants to see how you are finding everything and if you have any thoughts or requests for your character. He does it with everyone on random."
"That makes me feel a lot better. Thanks Adam, you always know the right things to say"
"That's what I'm here for baby and don't you forget it" Adam said before getting up and kissing Mandy once again.
"I better go and see what he wants"
"Ok would you like me to walk you to his office?" Adam asked
"No it's cool. You should probably go and get read for your match anyway"
"Yeah you're right, but I'll see you after ... right?"
"Yeah I look forward to seeing you..." Mandy said kissing Adam before leaving the locker room and headed for Vince's office.
As Mandy approached Vince's office she started to get a bit nervous because she didn't know what to expect. When she got to his office she noticed that the door was wide open. She took a long breath before knocking on the door. Vince looked up from his work and said,
"Mandy please come in and shut the door behind you" Mandy did so and sat down in front of him
"I guess you are wondering why I wanted to see you."
"Yeah actually I am" she said nervously
"I firstly wanted to congratulate you on doing such a great job. You have really improved over this time and have become a wrestler I can count on and trust to do a terrific job, time and time again."
"Thanks Vince. I couldn't have done it without your support and encouragement" Mandy said smiling at him. He smiled back before continuing,
"That's actually why I've asked you here. I need your help. I mean all the fans love you and I know that you aren't scheduled on to perform tonight but I was hoping you'd be willing to go out there tonight."
"Sure but what would I have to do?"
Vince told Mandy what she'd have to do but told her that no one else knew about her involvement in the show and that he wanted it to stay that way. After they'd finished talking they shook hands and Mandy thanked Vince before heading back to her locker room to get ready and focused before her appearance.
When Mandy entered the locker room she found Matt sitting on one of the benches tying up his boots. He looked up at her and said,
"I was starting to get worried. Is everything ok?"
"You missed me huh?"
"Yeah I sure did" he said standing up and pulling her into his arms, "so where were you?"
"Vince wanted to talk to me..."
"Doing his check up huh?"
"Yeah he was..."
"Cool ... anyway I better be off for my match ... "
"Good lucky Matty"
"Thanks see you after the match"
"Definitely. I'll be right here when you return" Mandy felt really bad as she said this because she hadn't told Matt the truth. But Vince had told her not to tell anyone, especially since Mandy's character on the show was meant to be injured and that's why she wasn't accompanying Matt to the ring. She kissed Matt on the check before he headed to the ring. Once he left she was suddenly grateful that she had decided to wear cargo pants, a singlet top and sneakers. This is because it would be a lot easier fighting in this outfit than something less comfortable would.
Once the match was announced, Mandy made her way to a side entrance and was met by one of the match organises. He took her down to her 'marker' and gave her the signal when to make her entrance. Adam had Matt covered and the umpire was about to start counting when Mandy jumped the barrier and pulled the umpire out of the ring. He dropped to the mat and was 'knocked' out. When both Matt and Adam saw Mandy they were both shocked. This was just what Mandy was hoping for because she was able to get into the ring and knock Adam down. Mandy then signalled to Matt to cover Adam while she slid out of the ring and through the umpire into the ring, he got to the second count when Adam kicked out. Adam then got up and started to beat up Matt. He knocked Matt over the ring ropes and Mandy went to check to see if he was ok. When she looked up she saw Adam looking angrily at her.
The fight continued for quite sometime longer, with Mandy interfering a lot. It got to the stage where Matt was getting up slowly after Adam had speared him. Adam in this time had gotten himself a chair and was waiting for Matt to get up before he was going to hit Matt. Mandy noticed this and got up onto the apron to grab the chair out of Adam's hands, however, Matt had just gotten up and Adam swung the steal chair back before going to hit Matt. When Adam did so he knocked Mandy on the head, which sent her flying backwards and she bashed through the announcers table. She lay motionless while the match continued, unbeknown of what had happened to her.
When the match was over Adam rolled out of the ring and headed up the ramp to the backstage area. Matt too rolled out of the ring but looked around for Mandy because she wasn't there to congratulate him on his win. When he saw her lying on the broken announcers tabled he immediately ran over to her. He knelt down next to her and realised instantly that something was wrong so he called for the EMTs. He would have picked her up and carried her to them but he didn't want to cause her any more pain and also he thought it would be better if the professionals dealt with it. While he waited for them to arrive he sat stroking Mandy's hair lovingly. When the EMTs finally arrived they carefully placed Mandy on a stretched before wheeling her out of the arena and into an awaiting ambulance. As they put her in, Matt hopping in next to her holding her hand and talking to her softly as they drove away.
When Adam got to the backstage area he was still unaware as to what happened to Mandy. It wasn't until he bumped into Allie that he found out. She said,
"Gee that chair shot you did to Mandy looked so real. How long did it take to practice?" Adam looked at her blankly before saying,
"What chair shot?"
"You know the one that knocked Mandy and sent her flying into the announcement table." Allie said pointing to the reply which was being shown.
"Oh my gosh. She looks really hut. Do you know where she is?" Adam said concerned
"You mean you... " Allie's voice chocked
"No. I didn't even know she was going to interfere during the match. It wasn't written in the script..."
"Oh my gosh ... ok you grab your stuff and I'll go find out. I'll meet you by your car." Allie said before running down the corridor looking for Shane, Vince or anyone who would know.
As she turned the corner she ran smack bang into Mark.
"Sorry Mark ... but have you seen Shane?"
"Yeah second door on the right. Are you ok?" he asked
"I'm just a bit concerned about Mandy"
"Yeah I saw the match, it looked pretty bad. If you see her can you let her know I hope alls well and that I', thinking of her."
"Yeah of course I will. Thanks and sorry about bashing into you" Allie said before continuing to run down the corridor.
When Allie got to the room, she opened the door without knocking. She found Shane and Vince sitting around a table talking. As she walked in they both looked up shocked and confused.
"Allie what..." Shane started
"I'm sorry ... but do you know where Mandy was taken?" Allie asked slightly out of breath
"What are you talking about? She's meant to be involved in the Adam vs Matt match." Vince said
"She was... but got injured ... haven't you been watching the show?"
"No ... we've been talking about contracts and upcoming matches," Shane said
"What happened?" Vince asked
"I'll tell you on the way. I just really need to know which hospital she would have been taken too"
"That would be the one a few minutes away, Why don't you guys come with me and we'll get George to drive us?" Vince said
"Ok but first we have to meet Adam by his car"
"Ok lets go" Shane said grabbing a few things before walking over to Allie and putting his arm around her waist.
"She'll be fine. You know how much of a fighter she is..." Shane said softly
The three of them then walked off to meet Adam before all going to the hospital.
When the four of them arrived they found Matt sitting in the waiting room. They all walked up to him and Adam asked
"Do you know how Mandy is?" Matt looked up in a half daze before saying,
"She was unconscious when they brought her in here and she's dislocated her shoulder. They're now X-raying her to make sure that nothing else is wrong."
"Do you know how long she's going to be?" Allie asked
"No the doctor wouldn't tell me.... seeing I'm not family and all. It was hard enough finding out the other stuff. Matt said looking at the floor.
"What was Mandy doing out in the ring?" Adam asked looking at Matt
"Your guess is as good as mine. She never told me that she was fighting tonight." Both Adam and Matt then turned and looked at Vince who was standing off to the side
"This wasn't meant to happen. Everything seemed to go to plan, except she wasn't meant to grab the chair off you before hitting Matt" Vince said pointing to Adam
"Why weren't we told about this? What's with the secrets?" Matt asked angrily
"I thought it would be more effective and also I hadn't made up my mind about the match until just before the match started ... when I talked to Mandy and see what she thought of the idea."
"But..." Matt started before a doctor walked into the waiting room which was only occupied by the five of them. The doctor walked in and said,
"I've got some good and bad news"
"What is it doctor?" They all asked
"Well the good news is that Mandy hasn't broken any other bones like we originally thought and she is now resting fairly comfortably. And the bad news is that she's badly dislocated her shoulder and will be out of action for a while. Also she might have some memory lose due to the heavy bump she received on her fall. But all and all she's a very lucky young lady."
"Thanks doctor. Can we see her?" Adam asked
"Yes but just remember that she's not quite her normal self ... and also only one visitor at a time."
Matt was about to get up when he noticed Adam leaving the room and heading towards Mandy's room. Matt sat quietly but upset that he wasn't able to go and see her first. After all he was the one that had been with her pretty much the whole time since the accident. He couldn't help but be annoyed at it all.
Adam entered Mandy's room and sat on the seat next to her bed. He took her hand and said,
"Oh Mandy I'm so sorry but I had no idea ... please forgive me."
Mandy didn't answer him. She took her hand back and looked away from him.
"Mandy?" he said again but she didn't reply, she just lay in her bed ignoring the man that once meant so much to her but now ...
Before going to the arena, Shane dropped Allie off home so that she could get changed before work. When she arrived at the apartment she knocked on Mandy's door.
"Hey Mandy are you awake?"
Mandy rolled over and bumped into Matt and got worried that Allie would see him so she quickly grabbed her dressing gown and climbed over Matt, who was still sleeping. She opened the door slightly and started to talk to Allie who asked if she needed a lift to the arena. Mandy said,
"No thanks. I've already organised a lift ... with Matt. But thanks anyway."

"I thought it would be more effective and also I hadn't made up my mind about the match until just before the match started ... when I talked to Mandy and see what she thought of the idea."
"But..." Matt started before a doctor walked into the waiting room which was only occupied by the five of them. The doctor walked in and said,
"I've got some good and bad news"
"What is it doctor?" They all asked
"Well the good news is that Mandy hasn't broken any other bones like we originally thought and she is now resting fairly comfortably. And the bad news is that she's badly dislocated her shoulder and will be out of action for a while. Also she might have some memory lose due to the heavy bump she received on her fall. But all and all she's a very lucky young lady."
"Thanks doctor. Can we see her?" Adam asked
"Yes but just remember that she's not quite her normal self ... and also only one visitor at a time."
Matt was about to get up when he noticed Adam leaving the room and heading towards Mandy's room. Matt sat quietly but upset that he wasn't able to go and see her first. After all he was the one that had been with her pretty much the whole time since the accident. He couldn't help but be annoyed at it all.
Adam entered Mandy's room and sat on the seat next to her bed. He took her hand and said,
"Oh Mandy I'm so sorry but I had no idea ... please forgive me."
Mandy didn't answer him. She took her hand back and looked away from him.
"Mandy?" he said again but she didn't reply, she just lay in her bed ignoring the man that once meant so much to her but now ...
