Chapter 3
Stephanie woke up with a startling jolt. She felt something heavy across her chest, and she looked down to see an arm around her. She looked to the side to be met with the peaceful serene face of a sleeping Edge. Realization hit her when the memory of what had happened, she looked to the clock, it was 3 in the morning, 4 and a half-hours ago came crashing back to her mind.
"Ugh." She let out softly, weak, and trying to get free of Edge's hold on her. When she finally did, she left the room. Chris was probably looking for her. The moment she shut the door a voice interrupted her escape. "Sleeping around on you boyfriend? I knew you were low, but not that low." Kurt said. Stephanie looked at Kurt through squinted eyes. "I am not sleeping around on my boyfriend." She said, weakly. "Why should I believe that?" He asked. "Because its true." She sneered. Kurt reached out and grabbed her by the waist. He brought his lips close to her ear. "Let me let you in on a little secret. Pay backs a bitch." He said. With that, he left. Stephanie looked to where he used to be quizingly, then she left herself.
Hunter was snapped out of his thoughts by a knock on the door. He went to go open it up and Stephanie fell into his arms when he did. She was half-unconscious and half-awake. He shifted her to one arm and shut the door. "I'm so sorry. Let me call Chris and I'll be out of your way." She said weakly, not looking up at him. Hunter leaned down and took a hold of her chin. "So you got yourself back into drugs huh?" He asked. She looked at him questionably. "What?" She faintly asked, then her world blackened out again. Hunter caught her as she fell forward on him. "The things you do when you're in love." He sighed. He picked her up and carried her to their room. He then picked up the phone and called Jericho. "Jericho." He said. "Yeah, I got her. She's sleeping right now. I'd advise you to do the same. I'll call you in the morning. Just let her stay here for the night. I think that someone drugged her, I don't think that she did it herself. I'll just keep her here tonight." Hunter said. Jericho agreed and they both hung up. Then Hunter went to go check on Stephanie. She was sleeping peacefully so he went across the hall to the room that they had dubbed 'the cool-off room'. It was there for them whenever they had a fight and one left the house. When they came back they'd always feel better and wouldn't want to wake up the other that was most likely sleeping already, so they'd stay in 'the cool-off room'. He slept in there for the night.
Stephanie awoke to something licking her hand. Her vision at first was blurry but when it came into focus she saw Lucy, now resting her head on Stephanie's stomach. "Hey Lucy." She whispered. Lucy started wagging her little tail and barked a few times. Stephanie grabbed her head. "Oh, Lucy, not so loud." She said, reaching down to pet the dog. She heard a knock on the door and she looked to see Hunter leaning against the doorframe. She looked away quickly. "I'm sorry to bother you. Let me call Chris and I'll be out of your way." She said. "You're never in my way." Hunter said. He came over and sat on the bed by her. "So, last night you acted as if you didn't know what I was talking about when I asked you why you got yourself back into drugs." Hunter said, checking her temperature. "What are you talking about? Last night I went out with the guys. I had two drinks and I was dancing with Edge before I passed out. I woke up next to Edge who was passed out beside me, and then I left for here after Kurt said something about pay back being a bitch. The last thing I remember is coming here then blacking out again." Stephanie said. "Kurt said pay back is a bitch?" Hunter asked. Stephanie shook her head in the positive way. Still not looking at him straight in the eye. Hunter sighed. For the first time since Stephanie had woken up she realized that she was in the room that her and Hunter used to share. "You haven't re- decorated." She pointed out. Hunter looked at her. "I didn't want the room to lose your touch." He said. She locked eyes with him for the first time and looked at him questionably. He took one of her hands in his and ran a thumb across the top of hers affectionately. "No matter how mean, how deceitful I am on the show, its just ways of letting you know that I'm still here. I've looked back on everything we've done to each other and I'm willing to forget all of it. I want you back in my life Stephanie. I haven't been doin' all that well without you. I don't know how much more I can take." Hunter said. Stephanie looked at him in shock. "Is this some kind of sick joke?" She asked. "No, no, no. It's not. Seriously Steph. I'm still in love with you. And not trying to sound cocky but I know the longing glances; I know the secretive small smiles. We've been sending them to each other for weeks. So I thought that there might just be an us. I thought that we could make it. Now you and Jericho are getting close and I'm going to loose you. You're the reason I live Stephanie. You are what keeps me within reach of my sanity. I need you in my life." Hunter said. Stephanie was shocked beyond words. Here, her dreams were unfolding but somewhere else her heart belonged to Chris. "I…I'm with Chris Hunter, I…I don't think I can." She said. He looked down and let go of her hand. "Well, I'm not giving up. I'm here whenever you need me." He said. He got up and handed her the phone. Then h left the room. Stephanie proceeded with calling Jericho the she laid back down and fell into another deep sleep.
