Chapter 34
-Mandy's POV
I was loading a suitcase into the car when Adam and Danny pulled into my driveway. I was going to spend the week touring with the Raw roster in order to get to know them and to catch up on their story lines before I made my debut on the show. He ran up to me and grabbed my waist forcing me to look at him.
"Why do you want to leave me?" He asked. I looked into his eyes and I could see the hurt behind them.
"Adam, please don't do this," I begged. The longer he pleaded, the harder it would be for me to leave.
"Damn it, Mandy, don't you understand that everyone I love leaves?" He cried, "listen to me, I love you. I love you and I will do anything to keep you here. You and I, we can do this together, okay? I talked to Vince. He said you told him that there was nothing left for you here. But what about me? What about Danny? We are here. Look, we can fix the story line. You and I can be the tag team champions. That's your dream right? I worked it out with Vince. If you stay here, it can happen!" A tear ran down my cheek. It hurt like hell to see him like this.
"Tag team champions huh? That doesn't sound so bad, think Matt and Shannon would want to give up those belts that easily?" I replied knowing full well that Matt and Shannon would rather die than see me take their belts away from them. He looked up at me and laughed a little. Him and I both knew it was an unreal idea. It was a brilliant move for the record book. Women were not predominantly tag team material. However, I knew that it would never happen, at least not for me. I wasn't leaving Smackdown because there wasn't a belt for me there. I was leaving because I had done all that I could there. I was at the top and there was no where left to go. I had touched people's lives and now I was ready to take on a whole new world of possibility.
"Please don't leave. I love you so much, do you know that?" he stated running his fingers through my hair. I nodded and let another tear slide down my cheek. I couldn't stay. I wasn't needed...but then again...maybe I was.
"I love you too," I stated. He leaned in.
"Daddy, are you going to kiss her?" Danny chimed in. Another kiss interrupted, this was out of control. Both Adam and I laughed as we turned to look at her. She was standing three feet away from us with her hands on her hips.
"I was going to, do you mind?" he asked smiling.
"Well do it already!" she replied. Adam turned back to me and traced a line down my cheek. He smiled. I smiled. He leaned in and kissed me with all of the passion he had in him. I kissed back, and it was perfect.

And this is what goes on backstage. It happened in the hallways. It took place in the locker rooms and in front of the world. These are the people, and this is their story. It's not a very well known story, mostly notorious only to those closest to them. It happened in front of a crowd, and nobody saw it. It happened in front of their fans and they were oblivious. These are the things that take place behind the scenes that no one ever knows; the quiet things that no one ever knows.
The End.
(A/N- Sequel anyone? I'm up for it if you guys are! I have some ideas in mind. Thanks to everyone for the awesome reviews! I love you guys! Credit to Evanescence and RA for the chapter names and to Brand New for the name of the story. Let me know what you thought. I know, it kinda leaves ya hanging.)
