Raw : 12-11-2001.
Wham…how dare he?…wham…who does he think he is?…WHAM.
"Hey,be careful,the bag has feelings too" someone said behind her.
Valerie turned around and saw RVD standing behind her,smiling.He looked so relaxed,so carefree that Valerie couldn't help but smile also.
"Hi Rob"
RVD smiled at her and approached slowly.When he saw she wasn't backing away,he stood next to her.
"Any particular reason you were beating the crap out of the punching bag?" he asked.
"Christian" was all Valerie said.
"Oh" RVD said,understanding what she meant.
"How dare he kiss me like that?.Who does he think he's dealing with?.Some kind of slut?" Valerie half-yelled.
"You're not a slut,I don't think anyone in his right mind would think you are" RVD said gently.
Valerie looked at RVD and saw that he meant what he said.
"Thank you" she said softly.
Valerie was a little embarassed and RVD smiled as she turned back to her punching bag.He took Valerie in, she was wearing a long pair of sweatpants,a short top with the letter VJC on it and white sneakers.She looked beautiful.Valerie was pounding the punching bag again when RVD asked:
"What do the letters VJC stand for?"
Valerie stopped punching the bag and turned back to RVD.
"Valerie Joyce Calloway.I know it's egotistical to have your own name on your shirt but Jeff had it special made for me,so…" Valerie said,blushing.
"Hey" RVD said pointing at his own shirt.
Valerie looked at his shirt and saw that it had the letters RVD on it.Valerie laughed and said:
"That's not to say that you're egotistical…" Valerie said laughing.
"But?" RVD asked smiling,while moving a little closer.
"But if you were,you'd be entitled to be" Valerie said smiling also.
"And why is that?" RVD asked.
"Shouldn't you be training?" a harsh voice said behind him.
RVD turned around and looked at the Undertaker,who was looking quite pissed.RVD sighed and turned back to Valerie.
"I'll see you later" he said.
"Oh you'll see her later,huh?.I don't think you will see her later" Taker growled.
"I don't think that's for you to say" Valerie cut in.
Taker glared at his daughter but she didn't back off.
"We were just talking" Valerie said.
Taker turned back to RVD and said:
"Stay away from my daughter or I will make you sorry"
"I will stay away from your daughter if she wants me to,she obviously doesn't"
"Hello?.Am I alive here?" Valerie cried.
Taker got in RVD's face.
"I'm warning you boy,stay away from her" Taker snarled.
"I'm her friend now and there's nothing you can do about it" RVD said.
"I can't believe it,they're completely ignoring me" Valerie said to no one in particular.
People had started gathering around Taker and RVD by now and Taker was getting angrier and angrier.
"You and me,one on one tonight.We'll see if you're staying away from her"
"You got it" RVD said.
RVD looked at Valerie who was staring at them in disbelief.He smiled at her and walked off.Valerie turned to her father and said:
"What the hell was that all about?"
"That's what I'd like to know.First Jeff Hardy now RVD?" Taker yelled.
"What is that suppose to mean?" Valerie asked,bewildered.
"That's suppose to mean,I think you're switching boyfriends a little too quickly"
"What?" Valerie shrieked.
"Jeff Hardy wasn't good enough so now you're lusting after RVD?"
SMACK
Taker took a step back and blinked.He touched his cheek and winced as it burned and stung.
"I love Jeff and he is more than enough for me.RVD is my friend and you would do well to remember that" Valerie hissed at her father.
Valerie was standing in front of her father with her right hand in her left,her hand was burning and it hurt like hell. Taker didn't say anything,he still couldn't believe his own daughter,his flesh and blood,hit him.
"I can't believe the way you two were talking,like I didn't even exist.Now either you don't care about what I have to say or this isn't about me at all"
"Of course this is about you" Taker said.
Matt and Jeff came into the gym along with Lita,talking and laughing until they saw the group of wrestlers standing near Taker and Valerie.Matt,Jeff and Lita walked to Taker and Valerie and listened.
"Yeah?.That's not what I think,I think you've had a problem with RVD for a while now and you're using this…"
"Oh dear,here comes the paranoia again" Taker said.
"I'm not paranoid,I'm right" Valerie said with a small smile.
"You're wrong,this is about you" Taker argued.
"Alright,let me come to ringside" Valerie said.
"What?" Taker yelled.
"If this really is about me I have every right to be out there"
Taker stared at his daughter,a million things racing through his head.How did she become so calculated?.Why would she wanna corner him like this?.But he didn't say any of those things,he just bent down,brought his face close to his daughters and said:
"You're staying out of the match.Got it?"
Valerie nodded and her father walked away.Jeff walked to Valerie.
"What was that all about?" Jeff asked.
"Nothing much" Valerie said.
She than gave Jeff a dazzling smile that made him feel warm from head to toe.Jeff noticed Valerie was holding her hand,he gently took it and looked at the palm of her hand,it was bright red and even a little blue.Valerie winced as she stretched her hand.
"What on earth happened to your hand?" Lita asked.
Valerie sighed and said:
"I slapped my father and I hurt myself more than I hurt him"
Valerie wasn't entirely correct,her father was standing in his lockerroom in front of a mirror.His cheek had turned blue and purple and it hurt like hell.He had no idea his daughter could use so much force.He felt a wave of pride come over him.Quite a temper his daughter had,she'd be one hell of a fighter one day.
Valerie had left the gym after saying bye to her friends and promising Jeff that she would put something on her hand to ease the pain a little.She walked through the hallway fully preoccupied with the match between her father and RVD when suddenly she stopped walking.She had unconsciously been on her way to her father's dressingroom but she couldn't go there,not after what her father had said.
She thought for a moment,she could get someone else to get her bag and than she could take a shower in the Women's Dressingroom.She started walking again and thought of who she could ask to retrieve her bag when she came across Sara,who had just come back from getting a cup of coffee.Valerie and Sara's relationship had improved drastically those last few weeks and Valerie was now ready to be friends.She smiled at Sara.
"Hey Sara"
"Hi Valerie" Sara said with a smile.
"Listen,could you do something for me?" Valerie asked.
"That depends" Sara said.
"Could you get my bag from my father's dressingroom?.I can't go in there right now"
"Oh dear,are you and Mark in the warzone again?"
"More than ever" Valerie answered with a scowl,feeling her anger rise again.
She shook her head and forced it to go away,it would do no good now.
"I'm not asking you to pick sides,I just need my bag" Valerie said.
"I'll go get it" Sara said.
"Great,I'll wait here" Valerie said,smiling.
Sara walked off and Valerie leaned against the wall.She felt nauseous after that exchange with her father,she still didn't know how to deal with Christian,she couldn't quite figure out why RVD would wanna be her friend and she probably wouldn't have a ride to the hotel by the end of the night.Valerie sighed and closed her eyes.
"A little tired,little Valerie?"
Valerie's eyes flew open and she found herself face to face with the wicked witch of Greenwich,Stephanie McMahon.Valerie raised herself to her full height and stood in front of Stephanie,out sizing her by 4 inches. Stephanie smirked and said:
"I guess that happens to people who aren't used to the strain of hard work"
Valerie laughed and said:
"Yes,I suppose I'm lucky I'm not in your line of work,I don't think I'd be comfortable flat on my back,in some sleazy motel room"
Stephanie's eyes widened in shock and she looked to be very stunned,this didn't stop her however from yelling and screaming at Valerie.
"How dare you,you bitch?.Do you know who I am?.I'm Stephanie McMahon dammit"
"You're also busting my eardrums" Valerie yelled over Stephanie's screeching.
Stephanie stomped her feet and ranted at Valerie,grabbing Valerie by her short top and tearing it at the top. Valerie looked down at her top and her mouth fell open.Her top,the top Jeff gave her was torn.Her face contorted in fury and she threw herself on top of Stephanie.Stephanie barely had enough time to yelp before being punched in the face several times,Valerie kicked and hit Stephanie until somebody pulled her off.
"Wow calm down kiddo.That's enough"
"You filthy skank,don't you ever touch my property again do you hear me?" Valerie yelled at Stephanie,who was being escorted to the doctor's office,her hands over her face,screaming and yelling at everybody.
Valerie turned to Triple H and saw that he was smiling at her.She didn't smile back however,she looked at her top and saw that it was ruined,she didn't even care that part of her breasts were showing,all she cared about was that her top was ruined,the top that Jeff had given to her.
"Hey what's wrong?" Triple asked softly.
"My top" Valerie managed to say.
Triple H took his jacket off and wrapped it around Valerie's shoulders.He put his arm around her and said:
"Are you alright?"
"You don't understand,Jeff gave me this top,he had it special made for me and now it's ruined" Valerie said, feeling the anger rushing up again.
Sara came walking into the hallway with Valerie's bag and said:
"Hey,sorry it took me so…what's wrong?"
Valerie had stopped crying but now she was sulking.
"She had a fight with Stephanie McMahon and the top she got from Jeff was torn apart" Triple H answered.
"Oh" Sara said softly.
Valerie turned around and faced Sara.
"There's always somebody ruining something for me" she said with a sigh.
Valerie took her bag from Sara and smiled.
"It took you a while to get it didn't it?"
"Yeah,your father insisted on knowing why you couldn't get your bag yourself,it took me a while to convince him that it was better if you wouldn't" Sara explaned.
"Oh,well thanks" Valerie said.
"You're welcome,I better get back" Sara said.
"See ya" Valerie said.
"Bye" Sara said.
Sara walked away and left Triple H and Valerie standing there.
"I need to go and find Jeff,I need to tell him about this or it'll be eating away at me all day"
"I think you better change into something else first"
Valerie looked down at her shirt and smiled.
"Wouldn't wanna give anyone any ideas?"
Triple H scowled a little and said:
"There better not be anybody getting any ideas"
Valerie kissed Triple H on the cheek and said:
"I'll bring your jacket to your lockerroom later"
"Alright,be careful" Triple H said.
"Will do" Valerie said,already walking away.
As Valerie headed for the women's lockerroom,she planned what she would do.She would go to the women's lockerroom,take a shower,get dressed,take the torn top,find Jeff and try to explain to him why it was torn.
While thinking this she found herself getting a little worried,this fight with Stephanie had been a bad idea,it would certainly have some consequences and they were probably consequences she wasn't going to like. There's always something,she thought while stepping into the women's lockerroom,always something.
