Disclaimer: I own nothing that has to do with the WWE in any way, shape or form and nothing in my story has ever happened. The only person in my story that I own is Jade and Dawn.
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 7: Proof
Jade entered her room and shut the door. Hunter opened it and followed her in.
"You can't get rid of me that easily." He said.
She turned and faced him. "Then how about a shotgun?"
What?" He said.
"A shotgun." She repeated. "Would that get rid of you?"
"Jade, what happened with Shawn?" He asked.
"He threatened me, I hit him." Jade answered.
"Look, I've known him for years and I know that he wouldn't do that." Hunter said. "So why don't you just tell the truth?"
"I am." She answered. "You want me to trust you, when you obviously don't trust me?"
"Well, your trying to tell me that my best friend is lying to me." He replied.
"He is." She said. "What would I gain from lying to you?"
"What would he gain from lying to me?" Hunter asked.
"I don't know." She said and walked over to the mirror hanging on the wall. "Ow."
"What?" He asked.
She lifted her foot, she had stepped on her blade. "Damn it." She swore. She limped over to the bed and sat down. She looked at her foot, it was bleeding. "Shit."
"You just leave it lying around?" Hunter asked.
"I didn't mean to." She answered.
"Why don't you just get rid of it?" He said.
"Give it to me and I will." She replied.
He picked it up and handed it to her. She put it in its bag and threw it into her suitcase.
"See, all gone now." She said.
"I meant that you should throw it away." He told her.
"Too bad." She said. "Now, I'm going to go limp into the bathroom and check my foot." She got up and true to her word, limped to the bathroom.
Hunter watched her leave then went to her suitcase and took out the bag that contained her blade. He looked it for a second then put it in his pocket. He left.

The next couple of days were spent like the rest, training, talking, avoiding Shawn and Hunter. Hunter didn't seem to mind though and Jade found that to be rather weird. She didn't realise why Hunter didn't mind until she was packing Saturday night, they were to be leaving Sunday for Heat.
She walked into Hunter's room and slammed the door.
"Hunter Hearst-Helmsley, where the fuck is it?" She said.
"Where's what?" He asked.
"Don't play innocent, where is it?" She repeated.
"I don't know what you're talking about." He said.
"My blade, it's gone, you took it, where is it?" She said.
"Why, are you going to cut yourself again?" He asked.
"No, I was packing and noticed that it was missing." She answered.
"So, maybe you misplaced it." Hunter said. "Why are you blaming me?"
"I put it in my suitcase and now it is gone." She said. "It was either you or Shawn."
"Are you still on that Shawn is out to get you thing?" He asked.
"It's no thing, he is out to get me." Jade said.
"Even if he was, which I'm not saying that he is, because I don't think that he is, but why would he steal your blade?" Hunter asked.
"Exactly, that's why I think that you did." She answered.
"Well, I didn't." He replied.
She glared at him. "If I find out that you did, you're going to be in big trouble with me."
"Alright." He said.
She turned and left.
Shawn was coming down the hall. "Hey, sweetheart." He said.
She passed by him to get to her room, he did a u-turn and followed her. She tried to shut the door in his face but he pushed it open and closed it behind him.
"You don't have to be rude." He snickered.
"What do you want, you son of a bitch?" She asked.
"I'm just trying to be nice." He lied.
"Well, get lost." She told him.
"Actually, I've been noticing that you've been avoiding Hunter." He said. "And I was wondering if you've reconsidered my offer."
"No, I haven't." She said.
"Maybe you should." He said. "I mean, what kind of friends wouldn't believe you when you tell them that you've been threatened by someone?"
"Because it was you that threatened me and they've known you for longer than me." Jade replied.
"Exactly, so I could tell them anything about you and they'd believe me." He told her. "Face it, you have no chance against me."
"Maybe not, but I don't give up." She said. "Especially not against a lying piece of shit."
"Nobody believes you." He said. "I'll leave you with those words to ponder." He left.
She thought for a moment then went back to Hunter's room.
"What, did you think of something else to yell at me?" Hunter asked.
"I want you to believe me." She said.
"Why does whether I believe you or not mean so much?" He said.
"Is this a trick question?" She asked.
"Forget it." He said. "Is that all that you wanted to say, because it doesn't change anything."
"What if I can get proof?" She asked. "Then will you believe me?"
"I guess I'd have to." He replied. "But how are you going to get proof?"
"Does Scott have a small tape recorder or something?" She asked.
"You want me to go find out?" He asked.
She nodded.
Scott did and Jade hid it in the kitchen, Shawn had to come in sometime and she was determined to be there if she had to stay there all night. He finally came in and Jade pushed record.
"Aren't you usually asleep by now?" He asked.
"I'm just thinking asshole." Jade answered.
"Thinking about what bitch?" He asked.
"Your death." She replied. "It's a day that I can't wait for."
"I'll bet." He said. "Well, the feeing is mutual."
"I'm so happy for you." She said.
"Are you sure you weren't thinking about my offer?" He asked.
"What offer?" Jade said. "It wasn't an offer, it was a threat."
Shawn snickered. "What's your point? It's not like anyone believes you."
"That's going to change." Jade said. "Because if you do anything to me, they'll realise what a liar you really are."
"That's why I get someone else to hurt you." Shawn said. "That way, you can't prove a thing. Face it, I have them in the palm of my hand, honey." He left the kitchen.
Jade waited a few minutes to make sure that he wasn't coming back, then pushed stop and went upstairs to her room. Hunter came in soon after.
"You want your proof now?" She asked.
He nodded. "Play it."
She played the tape.
The look on Hunter's face at the end was not one that showed great happiness.
