Backlash : 21-04-2002.

Valerie walked through the hall with a camera hot on her tail and smiled when she heard the fans cheering and screaming.Her match was set to take place soon and she was on her way to the entrance.

"The beautiful and talented Valerie Calloway getting ready for her match against both Molly Holly and Jazz,I'm sure she's very tense right now" J.R commented.

Valerie walked into the next hallway and ran into Edge.Edge smiled when he saw her.

"King Edge" Valerie playfully called to him.

"Valerie,getting ready for your match I expect" Edge said,smiling broadly.

"I certainly am,I think I'm just about…" Valerie started,only to stop talking.

Valerie tensed up and looked behind Edge.Edge turned around and Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman passed by.Brock Lesnar walked straight passed Valerie without ever taking his eyes off her.Valerie saw the same thing in his blue eyes as she had seen before,affection.When they were gone Edge could see the tension on Valerie's face.

"Are you alright?" Edge asked.

"No" Valerie said.

"Don't worry about him" Edge said.

"How can I not worry about him.It's like he's playing some kind of game with me and I have no control over it" Valerie said.

"That stinks" Edge said.

"You're not kidding" Valerie said.

"Well just so you know,if you ever need any help I'm there for you" Edge said.

Valerie threw Edge a warm smile and said:

"Thank you Edge"

Edge flashed her a broad smile,he'd be there for her if she needed help.Valerie went on her way and when she arrived at the entrance she could hear Molly's music blaring through the arena.Valerie was set to take on both Jazz and Molly in a handicap match,a match set up by Vince McMahon.Valerie still couldn't figure out why Vince had started disliking her in the first place but she knew that after what her father pulled on the previous Raw,he hated her all the more.

Valerie shrugged it off as her music came on.She had a match to wrestler and preferably win.She stepped out to her music and the fans cheered at the top of their lungs.Valerie stepped into the ring and the bell rang,Jazz and Molly decided that Jazz would begin the match.Jazz kicked Valerie in the mid section to start the match and hit her with some hard hitting chops.Valerie gasped as she fell to her knees,she could barely breathe.

Jazz knocked Valerie down to the mat and covered her.

1...2...but Valerie kicked out.

Valerie fired back with kicks only to be knocked down by a hard clothesline.Jazz tagged Molly in and Molly went to work.Molly stomped on Valerie until Valerie got  a hold of her foot and dragged her down.With Molly down Valerie went up top and,much to everyone's surprise,hit a moonsault.

"Oh my god" Lita squealed backstage "she didn't tell me,how could she not tell me about that?"

Molly stumbled to her feet and Valerie knocked her down with a vicious clothesline.Valerie covered Molly.

1...2...but Molly kicked out.

Valerie got up and waited for Molly to get up.Once Molly was up Valerie set her up for the Last Ride only for Jazz to walk in and kick her legs from under her.The ref forced Jazz back into the corner and while the ref's back was turned Valerie was attacked from behind by Steven Richards.

Steven hit her with the Steven kick before anyone in the back could even think of coming out.Valerie went down and Molly covered her.

1...2...3.

Valerie groaned as she made her way backstage.She would have won that match if it hadn't been for Steven Richards.

"What the hell is his problem anyway?" she muttered.

Valerie looked up when she heard someone gasp.She saw Jeff and Lita running towards her.Jeff immediately put his arms around her and asked:

"Are you alright?" Jeff asked.

"Yeah,I'm alright.You can't keep a Calloway down,that's what I always say" Valerie said,grinning.

"I wanna see how rough you can play,I wanna show the world that the Next Big Thing is Brock Lesnar"

Brock was barely listening,he was facing Jeff Hardy and he knew that there was a good chance Valerie Calloway would be at ringside.He still couldn't figure out why he was so hung up on her,sure she was beautiful, in fact she was gorgeous but so were alot of the other women in the federation.

Brock shook his head and saw that his manager was staring at him.

"I know what you're thinking about" Heyman said calmly.

Brock just looked at Heyman as he continued.

"You're thinking of Valerie Calloway,she'll probably be at ringside which presents you with a huge opportunity, an opportunity to teach Valerie Calloway a lesson she will never forget" Heyman said in a low voice.

Brock snorted,twitched his neck from side to side and turned away from Heyman.

Jeff Hardy nervously looked at where his girlfriend was standing.She was determined to go with him for his match and there wasn't anything he could say to change her mind.He asked her to stay backstage,he told her to stay backstage,he resorted to begging her to stay backstage but nothing worked,she was coming.

Jeff felt weak for letting her blue eyes and pouty face get to him but he couldn't help it,all Valerie had to do was widen her eyes a bit and he was at her feet.He had talked to Kane about it once and he found out he wasn't the only one with a weakness in that area.

"You're looking at the guy who went shopping with her" Kane had said.

"You?.Shopping?" Jeff had asked incredulously.

"That's right and her father..." Kane chuckled "Let's just say she can get him to do anything"

Jeff shook the memory of the conversation from his mind,he had a match to wrestle and his girlfriend to protect. Valerie noticed that Jeff's were a little unfocused so she stepped closer to him and nudged his cheek with her nose.Jeff looked at her and smiled but Valerie could see the concern in his eyes.

"I'll be fine" Valerie said softly.

"I pray that you will be" Jeff said "Are you sure you don't wanna stay back here?"

"Yes,I'm sure" Valerie assured him.

She kissed his cheek and smiled.Jeff smiled as well as his music cued.Valerie and Jeff stepped out together and the fans cheered loudly in response.Jeff stepped into the ring and Valerie walked around it.

"This is Valerie's second appearance this evening and I don't think the fans mind very much" J.R remarked.

"I don't mind either,come over here Valerie" the King called.

Valerie just smiled at him as she passed him by.She waved slightly and turned to the ring.

"She smiled at me J.R and she waved" the King cried excitedly.

"I think it was more of a general gesture at both of us and the fans as well but in any event..." J.R said.

Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman came out next and Valerie immediately tensed up.She wanted to be here for the match but she was still nervous to be around Brock Lesnar.Brock immediately slugged Jeff causing Valerie to yelp.Jeff retaliated with a strike to the face and then hit Brock with a crossbody.Brock,however,hit Jeff with a bell to back suplex.

Heyman was nagging Valerie during the entire match.He kept pointing over at her,yelling at her and laughing. Valerie was getting increasingly frustrated as Brock picked Jeff apart.The referee stopped the match after Brock hit Jeff with a terrible powerbomb and Valerie crawled into the ring.Heyman also got into the ring,both Brock and Heyman loomed over Valerie as she tried to help Jeff.
