Summary: The nWo has just infected the WWE, and who should appear but Hogan's 18 year old daughter Jade. She finds friends, enemies and even…true love?

Chapter 5: Confrontations

Jade quickly covered the cut with her arm and put the blade in her other hand and put her hand behind her back. She was hoping that the blood wouldn't drip.

Hunter came in. "Hey, the guys wanted to know if you were going to be coming back down tonight."

"Oh, um, no." Jade said nervously. "I'm gonna stay here."

Hunter looked at her. "Is that blood?" He asked.

She laughed nervously. "Blood?" She repeated.

Hunter closed the door and walked over to her.

"What?" She asked.

He grabbed her wrist and moved her arm. "What is this?" He asked. "How did you get this?"

Jade shrugged.

"What are you hiding behind your back?" He asked.

She pulled her arm away from him. "Nothing." Jade said.

"You're lying." He said.

"So what?" Jade asked.

He sighed and grabbed her other arm. "Open your hand." He instructed.

"Ow." Jade said. "Let go."

"Not until you show me what's in your hand." He said.

"No, it's none of your business." She told him.

Still holding her arm with one hand, he took his other one, covered her hand with it and squeezed just hard enough so that the blade would push into her palm, then he let go.

"Ow." She squealed and dropped the blade. She looked down. "Damn."

Hunter looked down at it then bent and picked it up. He looked disappointedly at her. "What's this?" He held up the blade.

Jade cast her gaze to the floor.

"Look at me." Hunter said. "What the hell are you doing?"

She raised her head. "Figure it out yourself." She answered.

He threw the blade on the bed and walked to the door.

"Where are you going?" Jade asked.

"I think that Scott, Kevin and Kid might be interested in this." He answered.

"No." Jade said. "Please don't, no one is supposed to know."

He turned away from the door. "Why did you cut yourself?" He asked.

"Habit." Jade answered.

"Habit?" He repeated. "So you've done this before?"

Jade nodded.

"I thought that you were smart." Hunter said. "But I guess I was wrong." He turned back to the door and opened it.

"You won't tell?" Jade asked.

"What would that accomplish?" Hunter said. "It obviously won't stop you from doing it again."

"No, it wouldn't." She agreed.

He shook his head in disappointment then left and closed the door behind him.

Jade sat on the bed and picked up her razor blade. "I'm such an idiot." She said and chucked the blade at the wall. She left the room and went to the bathroom to have a shower, clean the cut and change her clothes.

Hunter went back downstairs.

"Is she going to be coming back?" Scott asked.

Hunter shook his head. "No."

"What took so long?" Kevin asked.

"Nothing, we were talking." He replied. "Is she right in the head, does she have any problems?"

"Yes and no." Scott answered. "Why?"

"No reason, just wondering." Hunter said.

Jade left the bathroom after her shower and went downstairs, she wanted to call Dawn.

She walked into the living room where everyone was. "Scott?" She said.

He looked up. "Hey, I thought that you were staying upstairs?"

"I was, I wanted to make a call though and the batteries are dead on my cell phone, could I use your phone?" She said.

"Oh, sure." He answered.

"Where is it?" She asked.

"You can use the one in the kitchen." He replied. "Who are you calling?"

"I wanted to call Dawn, if that's alright with you." She said sarcastically. "Anything else you want to know?"

"No." Scott said. "Go ahead."

Jade left to go to the kitchen to use the phone.

"Hey, who's Dawn?" Hunter asked.

"Her daughter." Kevin answered.

"She has a daughter?" Hunter said.

"Yeah, she's four." Scott said.

Hunter got up, "I'll be back later."

Jade picked up the phone and dialled her parent's number. She heard a noise in the hall outside the kitchen, but shrugged it off when her father answered the phone.

Hunter had positioned himself so that he could listen in on her conversation. He wanted to know what kind of a mother would cut herself.

"Hey dad." Jade said. "Yes, everything is fine. I just called to speak to Dawn, is she around?…Ok, but hurry up."

Hogan had gone to find Dawn.

"Hey Dawnie." Jade said when her daughter took the phone. "How are you?…That's good…No, I'm not going to be home the next few days, I'll be home next week after the shows…Yeah, I miss you too…I love you, bye." She hung up.

Hunter crept back out of the hall. She had actually seemed like a decent mother, maybe the cutting was the only wrong thing that she did. He needed time to think.

Jade went back up to her room, she was tired and drained and quickly fell to sleep.

***

The next day was spent hanging out, talking, whatever and training. Jade avoided Hunter at every turn, except when there was someone else around.

Jade had gone back to her room earlier then everyone else again, but this time not to cut herself, just to think. Her thoughts were interrupted when a knock sounded on her door.

"Enter." She said.

Hunter came in and closed the door, Jade looked away.

"I want to talk to you." Hunter said. "You've done a pretty good job of avoiding being with me alone today, but now you're stuck."

Jade looked at him. "What do you want?"

"I want to ask you something." Hunter replied.

Jade sighed. "What?"

"You have a daughter, yes?" He said.

Jade nodded.

"And you sounded like a decent mother on the phone last night…" Hunter said.

"Wait a minute," Jade interrupted, "You eavesdropped on my conversation?"

"Maybe but that's not the point." Hunter said. "I want to know how, if you love your daughter, you can run the risk of her finding out about your habit."

"She's not going to find out." Jade stated.

"And what if she does, what is that going to teach her?" Hunter asked.

"She's only four." Jade said.

"Do you wan her to start hurting herself?" Hunter said. "Cause that would be the only lesson that she'll learn from this."

"Is that all you wanted?" Jade asked. "To make me feel guilty?"

"I want you to stop, is what I want." Hunter stated.

"Why do you care?" Jade asked.

"Truthfully, I have no idea." Hunter answered. "But I'm wiling to help."

"And how would you be able to do that?" Jade asked.

"I don't know." Hunter answered. "But first, you should trust me."

"I don't trust people." Jade said.

"So, learn to trust me." Hunter said. "I won't disappoint you."
