A/N : Try to ignore the address in this chapter,I've never actually been anywhere near Anaheim but I had to come up with something.It's a short chapter but I think it's the most important one of the entire story.

Smackdown : 21-11-2002.

Anaheim,CA at the Arrowhead Pond.

Valerie whistled a merry little tune as she walked down the hall with her bag over her shoulder.She and Edge had decided that they would from now on share a dressingroom as well as a hotelroom and Valerie was happy about that,she wanted to spend as much time with her boyfriend as possible especially after what happened only 4 days earlier.

Christian and Chris Jericho had been suspended indefinitely after what they had done,a punishment that wasn't nearly enough in Edge and Valerie's eyes.At least they'd be out of the picture for a while and Edge and Valerie could have some peace.

Valerie walked into the lockerroom where she had agreed to meet her boyfriend and frowned when she saw that he wasn't there.She looked around the room and in the bathroom but there wasn't anybody there. That's when she noticed the note on the table and she smiled.

"He left me a note" she whispered.

She picked up the piece of paper and read it,her smile turning into a grimace.

If you ever want to see your pretty boy again you'll meet me at midnight.There's an empty house near the crossing of Anaheim Boulevard and Ball Road near Winston and Midway.Don't be late.

The note was short and it wasn't signed but it didn't have to be,Valerie recognized the handwriting,it was Brock's.Valerie couldn't believe it,her Edge was being held by her psycho ex-boyfriend.In the panic that enveloped Valerie in the hours that followed she never once thought of telling anyone about the note,she was so afraid for her boyfriend's safety that she didn't think straight.

When the time came for Valerie to meet her ex boyfriend and rescue her current boyfriend she made her way to the parking-lot and to her car.The show had only just finished and the wrestlers weren't out in the parking-lot yet.Once in her car she forced herself to calm down.Panicking would do her no good.She drove relatively slow at first but she soon found herself freaking out again and she raced to the empty house as fast as she could.Valerie slowly and carefull walked into the house.

"Hello?" she called nervously.

She thought she could hear somebody mumbling but she wasn't sure so she took a few more steps into the seemingly empty room.Then she saw him,her boyfriend was tied to a chair,his eyes wide,trying to say something to her.When she went to walk to him,she felt a harsh blow to the back of her head and everything went black.

***

When Valerie woke up she blinked to clear her vision.She was on the floor,a very hard and cold floor.She sat up and looked around,her eyes widening as she saw what was going on.Brock Lesnar was holding her boyfriend at gunpoint.

"Edge" Valerie called.

Brock and Edge turned to Valerie.

"Ah,it looks like our beautiful flower has finally decided to wake up" Brock sneered,lowering his gun a little.

Edge went to walk to Valerie but Brock cocked his gun and pointed it at Edge again.

"Don't even think about it pretty boy,stay right where you are" Brock snarled.

Brock walked over to Valerie while still pointing the gun at Edge and pulled her up by her arm.He dragged her with him and only then did Valerie notice that they were standing on a cliff.She whimpered as he pulled her to the edge of the cliff.

"Now do you see what you've done?" Brock asked "You could have prevented all this from happening but did you?.No,because you're a selfish bitch who thinks the world is at her feet"

Brock threw Valerie down and she fell onto her knees.Tears streamed over her face as Edge moved to her but this time Brock pointed the gun at Valerie.Edge stopped walking and felt his heart sink.

"Back off or I'll put a bullet through that pretty head of hers" Brock said to Edge.

Valerie looked up at Edge with a pleading look in her eyes,a look that would haunt him for the rest of his life.

"Now it's time for the ultimate choice.You or your boyfriend" Brock said.

Valerie's eyes widened in shock as she realized what he meant.She got to her feet and looked at Edge.

"You can't make up your mind?" Brock asked when Valerie didn't say anything.

Valerie still didn't say anything,she just wept silently while begging god to make it all go away.

"I'll do it for you" she could hear Brock say.

Valerie saw Brock running to her through her tears as Edge screamed for her to move.Valerie tried to move out of the way but she was too late.She felt his shoulder connect with her abdomen and as the wind was knocked out of her she felt herself falling,almost in slow motion.She could hear her boyfriend screaming as she kept on falling and when her body finally connected with the ground,Valerie Calloway knew no more.
