The next morning Amethyst woke up and Shane was gone. Instead there was a note on the pillow, frowning she opened it and read it.

Hey AJ, hope you don't mind me calling you that. I'm sorry for leaving without actually saying goodbye to your face but I needed to get ready for yet another day here. You should be arriving at 10ish I can't wait to see you. I'm taking you out to lunch, it's not a date though, and we need to talk. And I mean talk. See you soon I hope I haven't scared you or hurt you. It was never my intention. Shane.

Amethyst sighed and got out of bed, she slowly picked out an outfit and grinned, it was perfect. The perfect business suit. After showering and dressing Amethyst headed down to the car park and got into her rental, she was sick of having a driver. She stopped off to grab a coffee before heading into work, she made it just on time, Shane looked up at her and looked shocked, Amethyst looked totally professional, a business suit, make up done just enough to hide her bruise and her hair back in a bun. She sipped her coffee and sat down at her desk, not even noticing Shane. She got most of her work done early and looked up at the clock, it was lunch but Shane was no where to be found. Giving up she headed off to the cafeteria. Suddenly someone grabbed her from behind and pulled her into a locker room.

"Amethyst it's just me calm down."

"Jesus fucking Christ Shane, you almost gave me a fucking heart attack!"

"Sorry I just wanted this to be a surprise."

"Well what is it you wanted to talk bout?"

"You've been avoiding me all day."

"You're the one who left my room and we didn't even have sex. I thought you were different to most guys. Damn if I had of screwed you would you have stayed?"

"AJ. I didn't mean to leave."

"Shane we could have shown up to work together even if it was a few hours too soon for me, I could have taken care of a few more things."

"Amethyst you realize if this goes any further that it could get ugly backstage."

"Fuck the wrestlers Shane and fuck you as soon as you decide to grow up and stop acting like a child I'll talk to you, until then you are only my boss, nothing more nothing less, now if you will excuse me I need to see Steph and go out. I'll be back after my break."

With that Amethyst stormed out of the locker room and rand to Steph's office, she opened the door and sat down and the tears began to flow, Steph and Linda looked up and noticed her, just as they were about to speak Shane rushed through the door and looked at Amethyst.

"Me grow up, I'm not the one running cross country to get away from some asshole stalker. So maybe when you get your head straight I'll see you, until then I don't want to even know you."

"You know what Shane, consider this your lucky day. I QUIT!"

Steph and Linda looked shocked as Shane's mouth hung open, Amethyst struggled to get off the couch and headed to the door, before she could walk out Shane grabbed her by the arm.

"You are not leaving Amethyst. You have no choice but to stay."

"Shane let go of my fucking arm before I hurt you."

"You can't do anything AJ; you're just a pathetic little girl."

Amethyst looked at Shane and laughed, he looked back at her with anger in his eyes that turned to shock as she kicked him in the nether regions and then hip tossed him to the floor.

"Fuck you Shane McMahon. Oh wait we didn't do that did we, we just crashed out in the same bed I wake up to a note we go to talk and you get pissy because I didn't talk to you all damn day, now you want to order me around, you are just like him Shane and I won't stand for it. I will not be used again do you understand me, if you have feelings then tell me or else you will never see me again. I can still be employed, but that doesn't mean that I have to show up."

Amethyst looked over at Linda and Steph and mouthed an apology before she walked out the door and wandered the hallways. As she walked she passed a few of the superstars, she began to mentally degrade herself for forgetting her web cam since she needed updated pics of most, until an idea formed in her head. She turned and found the production room and begged for a camera, once she got one she took off and started taking random pictures. Some superstars got into it and posed as they would on camera others joked around. Amethyst was having a blast until Vince came up and dragged her away.

"Amethyst what happened between you and Shane?"

"Mr. McMahon, I hate to inform you, but your son is a jackass."

"Walk with me Amethyst."

Sighing in defeat she walked along the corridors with Vince, looking at the clock she saw that SmackDown was due to start any minute. Vince stopped and grabbed a coffee before walking again, Amethyst walked beside him until they reached the gorilla curtain.

"My son has to go out there in front of all those fans and try to act like a good guy; instead he is so aggravated at himself and mad at himself that he is back in his sister's office crying because of a stupid argument. Shane was meant to be on within the first ten minutes of this show, instead we have had to put a match on. I'm not an unfair man; I'm not the cold hearted asshole you see on TV. I love my family, but you hurt Shane."

"Vince, I didn't do anything but tell the truth to Shane, the things he said to me, and the way he acted around me. I refuse to be someone's whore sir, but that was how your son wanted to treat me. I'm sorry if I hurt him, but I only came here to work, not to have a wild fling with the boss. I don't want to get fired, but if you want me to apologize, I can't do that because I wasn't in the wrong, now if you will excuse me Vince I need to work."

Without waiting for an answer Amethyst strolled off, her good mood again ruined. She sat in the production office and began to bury herself in her work. She had managed to get all new banners and graphics done for the SmackDown pages but hadn't had a chance to put them up as Steph walked into the room.

"Amethyst?"

"Steph, I'm busy and I don't need another lecture."

"I'm not here to lecture you, look go home ok it's almost eleven at night. You need your rest."

"I have work to do."

"So what? You can leave it until you're back again; we have house shows the next few days, so take those days off and relax go shopping, get new clothes."

"I don't have the money."

"Then we will go together, a girls day out."

"Steph I can't take your money. It's bad enough your brother is paying for my hotel room."

"Amethyst he didn't mean what he said before, he's a great guy and you deserve to be happy."

"Last night I slept without having a nightmare Steph, without a memory of Jacob and I woke up after feeling safe with your brother to find him gone. Only a note sat there and even then it was weird, if he wants me to forget him then I will. I don't care about my feelings Steph, I really don't have time to date and dating my boss wouldn't be a good thing. Now if you will excuse me I'm going home I'll finish all this tomorrow or something."

Steph sighed and watched as Amethyst got up and walked out. She followed at a distance knowing anything could happen around here. As Amethyst made it to the car park Steph felt relieved, until she heard a scream. Steph ran out the doors as well as a few wrestlers that were still there and were all shocked to see Amethyst on the ground with a man on top of her punching her face.

"I told you, you little whore, but no you don't listen do you, you think they will protect you? What lies did you tell them bitch?"

"Get off of me Jacob, please you're hurting me."

"You think that I care? You belong to me Amethyst. No one else wants you, they just want to use you babe. They can see that all you're good for is spreading your legs and taking it like a fucking whore."

Amethyst laid on the ground and cried as he kept hitting her, finally security came and pulled Jacob off of her. Her face was a mess of tears and blood. As soon as security had Jacob in cuffs Steph ran over to Amethyst and hugged her.

"Amethyst oh god I'm so sorry."

"Steph it's ok. I promise its ok. I didn't think he would find me."

"I put you in danger."

"No Steph, I saved you from danger. Fuck I think he broke my wrist when he pushed me down. God it hurts."

"Come on we'll get you to the hospital and get you cleaned up."

"Ok, that would be nice."

"Adam can you come over here? I need your help."

Edge walked over and looked at Amethyst. He immediately felt sick to his stomach. Swallowing deeply he helped Steph pick her up and take her to the limo, once in Steph rang her family to let them know.

"Shane just put dad on the phone now. Daddy, get to the hospital as soon as you can, Jacob found Amethyst. She's ok we think, I'll call when I find something unless you're here by then. Bye."

By the time they got to the hospital Amethyst was unconscious. Steph was worried out of her mind; Adam grabbed Amethyst and ran into the hospital screaming for help, Shane, Vince and Linda were all standing there. Shane looked at Amethyst and began to cry as the doctors grabbed her and took her away. Another doctor and a police officer came over and began to ask questions.

"Excuse me, can any body tell me what happened to that young lady tonight?"

"I can. We were talking in the production room and I guess we had a little disagreement, Amethyst got up and left and I followed her a few steps behind her, I had a feeling something wasn't right, when she got out there I felt relieved figuring she was safe, until I heard her scream, a guy, Jacob was on top of her and was hitting into her pretty badly, he was saying crude things and I would have helped but he could have over powered me easily, I was stuck in fear. Finally security came round and took care of him and Adam and I got Amethyst here as fast as we could."

The police officer nodded and walked away.

"Does Amethyst have any family?"

"Not that I know of, we have taken her under our wing why?"

"She's suffered a lot of head shots many from him banging her head onto the ground. Right now we have cleaned the blood up but she needs to stay here over night, just incase."

"God, can we see her?"

"I can allow only one of you to go in for tonight."

"Shane you go in, she needs you, she may not admit it but she does."

"How can I face her after all I said to her tonight?"

"Shane, son she needs you. We'll come back in the morning but right now she needs you."

Shane nodded and followed the doctor to Amethyst's room, once he was inside he started crying again, she had tubes and other things sticking out of her, she looked so lifeless laying there in the bed. Her eyes were closed and her breathing was very faint. He sat on the chair next to her bed and took his hand into hers.

"AJ, you gotta get through this. I need you. I'm sorry for today I was an asshole, god I could have saved you tonight we could have prevented this if we didn't have that fight."

He stopped talking and watched her sleep, he knew he had to take care of her, but would she let him after everything that was said? Finally after many hours he closed his eyes and slept, his hand still holding hers, his head on the edge of the bed.

The next morning Amethyst woke up to find Vince Linda and Steph standing at the door, smiles on their faces. She looked down and smiled weakly at the still sleeping Shane. She gently squeezed his hand and laughed softly as his eyes flickered open.

"Morning Shane."

"God you're alright. I was so worried."

"Well, my head still hurts like a bitch. Other then that I'm fine I guess. What happened last night?"

"Jacob attacked you, and Steph and Adam raced you here."

"Oh, can I leave now, I really hate hospitals."

"Let me get a doctor."

"Thanks Vince."

Vince left and found a doctor shortly Amethyst was released to go home to rest; Shane never left her side as she was wheeled out into the car park then helped into the limo. They returned to the hotel and Amethyst sighed as she saw her room had been trashed. Shane silently cursed under his breath then helped her into the McMahon suite. He put her in his room and helped her into bed.

"Shane, don't leave me please. I'm scared."

Shane sighed softly and laid down next to her. Amethyst wrapped her arms around Shane's body and cried until she fell asleep.

The next few days were painfully slow for everyone. They didn't allow Amethyst back to work until she had fully healed and she was hating it, every time she looked at her computer Shane would say the same things and it had her going crazy. They had finally allowed her to get her own room but Shane insisted on keeping her computer away from her.

"Fucking hell Shane I need to check my emails."

"Why? What's so important about them?"

"It's personal and I swear to god if you don't let me use it I will find someone with a laptop and go through them that way."

Shane sighed and allowed her to use it, smiling about the fact she had won she sat down and got online, as soon as she did an instant message came up.

Chicka where you been?? I haven't seen you in days. Mail me tell me everything. Jacob is going insane. You really messed up this time. - Bailey.

Amethyst shook her head and began to type an email back to him, grinning at her reply she hit send and emptied her account out including all the various emails from Jacob and other friends who had abused her about leaving. Sighing in defeat she closed the email account down as well as all the sites she had. Thank full that she had always put everything onto back up disks. Shane looked at her while she was doing this and noticed how distressed she was. He noticed that about her every time she was near a computer. He spotted her going into a chat room and sat with her, laughing at what most supposed fans were saying bout the content of shows and the web site. A few hours later they shut the pc down and looked at the note book they had written things down on. Shane took it and passed it along to his father who read it.

"These fans ask for a lot. I can understand why they want Jeff back but I doubt it would happen, I mean he wants to do his music and he can't find time to do both."

"Vince, if you ask me, it can be done I balanced writing poetry, making websites plus running a design site all at once, also count into it that Jacob was breathing down my neck about random things. If he wants to do both it can be done, but you can't push him. I suggest if you want him back then talk to him, make him understand that there are ways for him to do both, hell sign him to SmackDown records if you want. I can design the cd and the advertising if you want and if Jeff agrees to it."

Vince nodded his head and smiled; he picked up his cell phone and walked out of the room as everyone else just lounged around waiting for him to return.

"AJ why do you want Jeff back?"

"Shane he's a great talent, and ok I've only heard rumors as to why he left or was fired. I'm just saying if you guys signed his record deal he could do both. He had a lot of fans and when he was fired the ratings dropped, I have a few ideas on how to possibly get them back but I'm not sure you or your family would listen to them or like them."

"Give us a shot Amethyst. I'm the CEO of the company and I too have realized things have gone a little downhill."

"Well firstly you need to get rid of Eric. He's part of the reason the ratings dropped. Since he's been here there have been hardly any good feuds. Triple H needs to lose the title he is making Raw boring, you need to mix it up a little. Hire new people, bring some of the mid carders and new guys up in the ranks have them wrestle. Give them a chance; give the top guys a few weeks off to recover."

"I'll take it into consideration."

Just then Vince walked back in a smile.

"Jeff agreed to a meeting on Monday, Amethyst if this goes well I'm putting you in charge of writing his return."

"Vince I'm not a writer. The only things I've ever written were short stories."

"Well I have faith in you, besides it will give you extra money and our writers, well they don't know what fans want, but you do."

"I'll do it; I can also keep track of chat rooms and other places to see what the fans want to see. That way I can get a good idea."

"Sounds good. I have to go; I have a million things to go. I'll see you around Amethyst."

"Yup, I best be off, I need sleep. See you all in the morning."

Without waiting for replies Amethyst got up and left, walking down the hall to her room. Once in she fell onto the bed and sighed. Her head ached from all the business talk and the fact that if Jeff was to return it was on her shoulders to make sure his return was decent. Hugging her pillow tight Amethyst tried to sleep as the hours passed.
