N/A: Hey to those who read and review, thanks. I hope I don't let you down . . . OH YEA . . . Things are about to get a little mixed up ;-) .
Tension Build Up
When they got there, Edge parked his car next to a flaming blue chopper in the back. They walked in through the back door and they saw Jeff and Angel sparring, Edge leaned over to Trish and whispered "Give her hell . . . " Jeff and Angel were tossing each other around, when Matt jumped in and clotheslined them. They were listening to mixed cd's, Trish sat on the mat and began to stretch when the three of them landed in front of her. Angel got up and had Matt and Jeff held in a bench press, "Hey Angel . . . mind if we join in?" Trish said seductively adjusting her sneakers and pads. Angel's heart hammered in her ears and she groaned "Oh Shit." Apparently she lost grip and the Hardyz landed on her, "Damn it Jeff, get your foot out of my throat." She choked, then tried lifting Matt "Jesus Matt . . . your fucking heavy, lay off the Big Macs." Matt laughed and got up "If Kane was on you, you'd be trapped . . . " Angel flinched and got back into the ring, Jeff had just kissed Edge and said "Matt you know damn well, she doesn't think when it comes to Kane." Trish got angry with Matt for saying it, Edge climbed into the ring "Angel, let it go okay . . . Just breathe," he said then whispered "Remember Trish is here, don't lose it stay cool." Angel nodded then the Hardyz walked in "Team up, Me and Edge against you two." Jeff said winking at Edge. "Hey Trish, you are the referee . . . " Edge said cooly giving her that you better do something look. Angel and Matt got ready, when Trish climbed in wearing a tight, bikini top, referee shirt. The four wrestlers' jaws dropped, Trish saw Angel's eyes go pale, and winked at her, causing Angel to gulp. Trish rang the makeshift bell and Edge was squaring off with Matt. They traded blows until Matt got the upper hand with a kick to the stomach. He was suplexed Edge and did the Hardy leg drop, he was pulling Edge up, when Edge delivered a drop kick. He then dove to tag Jeff; Jeff said "Let's have a free for all, Trish your still ref." At that Angel jumped in and took Jeff down laughing. They were horsing around when Edge smacked Angel in the face. She looked at him and was about to knock him flat on his ass, when he put Trish in front of him.
Angel quickly grabbed her and moved her to the side. Jeff jumped on her back and had her in a sleeper hold, she started fading. Angel actually dropped to one knee trying to pry Jeff off, Matt and Edge head butted each other and knocked themselves out. Trish was checking Angel, when Jeff was suddenly flung over head. Trish was then doing her ref thing making sure Angel was okay, when Matt drop kicked Angel in the back knocking her on top of Trish. For an intense moment, Trish wasn't sure how to react. She couldn't believe how badly she wanted Angel this close . . . closer. She focused on her whereabouts, she also saw the same looking in Angel's eyes, her heart suddenly stopped. The brief moment was short lived, because Kane a Christian came through the front door with Bischoff. "Get off of my girl . . . " Christian said climbing into the ring. Angel stood and helped Trish to her feet, when Kane said "You made a big mistake on Smack Down, I'm here to fix it . . . " he climbed into the ring and stood face to face with her. He shoved Angel into Christian, who held her in a weird submission hold, while Kane hit her in the ribs. The others were inches from helping her when Bischoff said "HOLD IT. . . Angel, Kane; You want at each other so badly . . . " Christian pulled tighter and Angel choked more "Then at Vengeance we'll have the two of you and the team of your choosing. Only hitch is Angel can't touch Trish and Matt can't touch Lita" Angel pulled loose from Christian and said "Fine winner takes all . . . We win (she points to herself, Matt, Jeff, and Edge) we get Trish and Lita, and I get a title shot at Wrestle Mania" Kane shook his head "No way" "Okay fine . . . " Bischoff said "WHAT?!" Kane boomed, Bischoff merely held up his hand up "If Kane wins he keeps the girls, the belt and complete access to you, Angel." he smiled knowing Angel wouldn't agree. Matt, Edge, and Jeff pleaded with her to find another way; Angel stood in front of Bischoff, trapping him between herself and Kane. "You're on . . . " she growled causing Bischoff's smile to fade. Kane smiled "Get ready to be mine, you're going to lose and I will make your life hell." Edge got mad and grabbed Angel by the shirt "What the hell are you doing?" She shoved him away "Don't touch me . . . (turning to Bischoff and Kane) I'll win every part of that bet, and Kane you'll just watch me take your belt like you took my father's life" Kane pulled Trish to him, "Yeah? Well remember who Trish will always be by . . . I'll take the very thing you came back for" He leaned in and kissed Trish savagely. Christian smiled "That's right she's the team slut . . . " Angel and Matt went to lunge at them but Jeff and Edge held them back, "Ha, Angel can't save her little slut . . . " Jeff turned suddenly and broke Christian's nose in one hit. "Don't you ever call her a slut again!" He said as Christian held his nose, Kane kicked him in the head and Edge went to his side. Angel was about to hit Kane when he thrusted Trish in front of him. For the first time Trish saw Angel's eyes in complete frustration, they were a breath away and Trish wanted Angel to touch her, but Matt pulled Angel away. Kane and Christian grabbed Trish and pulled her away from the group. As they left, Trish heard Angel scream in pure anger "NO!"
They got into Bischoff's car and watched as Angel shoved her companions away, Trish was in complete shock; Angel was in a rampage. She grabbed Edge and shoved him to a wall "Get away from me, I can't touch her, not even a freaking hug . . . " Kane laughed "Eric you are a genius, look at that little bitch" he turned to Trish who was in silent tears "Aw poor thing, your love sick dog can't protect you any more." Defiantly she said "You said she can't touch me, which doesn't mean she can't still kick your ass, you prick" Kane back handed her so hard her head bounced off of the door and almost knocked her out. Christian grabbed her, "Don't you ever fucking get smart with any of us you slut" he growled pulling her hair. The three men began raping her as she watched Angel ride off on the motorcycle and cried. Angel got to her apartment and began putting holes in the walls, she was kicking and punching walls, her screams shaking the apartment. Lita was coming to say hi, when she saw the front door shattered and the apartment in shambles. Angel was throwing plates and furniture, she had a bat in her hand when she heard the door and rushed to hit whoever dared to come in. Lita was frightened and had tears in her eyes, Angel was red faced and breathing rapidly . . . "Lita" she said as if she was in pain, dropping the bat. Angel was in pain, she dropped to her knees and wrapped her arms around Lita's waist, gently laying her head on Lita's stomach. Lita held Angel and said "Shhh, it's okay hun. What happened, why are you so upset?" Angel stood slowly and cleared a place for Lita to sit and told her what happened at the gym. Lita felt horrible and understood why she was so upset, she told Angel to shower while she made some food and cleaned the mess. She had made some lasagna and fixed the place up when Angel came out in a pair of sweats. Lita told her to sit at the sofa, which they were going to watch "Grease," while she brought out the food. Her cell rang as she held the Angel's plate in her hand, Angel looked at her momentarily and saw that she had frozen if place, the Lita dropped both cell and plate on the floor in a crash. Angel jumped up and grabbed her before she fainted, "Lita . . . ?" she said softly shaking her dazed friend.
Lita wrapped her arms around Angel's neck and wept, "Trish is in the hospital, someone raped her . . . and beat her." Angel froze and Lita tried to get her to at least sit, Angel ran into her room and came back, telling Lita to come with her. They got to the hospital and were directed to Trish's room, when they got there Jeff went to Lita's side as she began to cry hysterically. Edge saw Angel and stood, "Kane, Christian, and Bischoff . . . They did this, I know it." Angel took a seat next to the bed and began trembling, she wanted so badly to hold Trish's hand, but knew cameras' were there. The doctor came in and said that the injuries weren't as serious as they thought, and that she wasn't pregnant or anything. He also said that she would suffer some emotional trauma, to be patient with her. Lita couldn't take it and Jeff drove her back to her hotel room, avoiding Kane at all costs. Edge stayed with Angel until it was time for him to go to some meeting with the managers, he told Angel to try and rest while she was there, but she never moved. As Edge left, Angel just took a deep breath and remembered how Trish was there for her. "I may not be able to touch you physically, but I'm going to get you back verbally . . . Trish come back to me, please." Angel talked about everything she could think of, even the fact that she has been in love with Trish since the day they met. Angel stopped a second and laughed at herself She's not going to remember this. It was getting late and Angel was really tired, she got up and went to ask a nurse for a blanket, a pillow and an extra chair; Angel got back and Trish was sleeping a little more calmly, so she set up a makeshift bed and went to sleep. Angel never left Trish's side, who woke up two days later and was overwhelmed with joy that Angel was there with her . . . Angel apparently hadn't slept any, and was propped up on some chairs looking extremely uncomfortable. She sat up a little and found the button for the nurse, who rushed in and she signaled for the nurse to be quiet. The nurse silently checked on Trish and told her that she was doing pretty good, and said that she'd bring food for both Trish and Angel. When Angel got up, Trish was munching on some chips watching Velocity, "Hey sleepy head" Trish said "They showed a clip of you being here since you found out . . . " Trish fell silent, Angel jumped up about to hold her and comfort her, when she stopped. They just stared at each other, both wanting to hold the other "I can't," Angel groaned, reaching out to her. Trish nodded knowingly and said "At least you were here when I got up, if it was anyone else, I may have never moved." They watched the rest of the show in silence, Kane was enjoying his work and Lita was shrinking away from him, "Look at them, Angel can't do anything but stand there and look at her . . . ha-ha, the slut got what she deserved." That was the line that made Trish throws up, she balled up in the bed and began to cry silently. Angel called the nurse in who tended to her, while Angel called Matt. . . . "I can't believe this shit, did you see what he said, I really hope she didn't watch that" Matt yelled into the phone, Angel just said "We both saw it Matt, the nurses are with her now . . . I'm going to kill them, Matt." And hung up the phone.
The nurses got Trish to calm down and Angel went back in, she talked to Trish in her sleep, "Trish listen to me, no matter what anyone says, you are not a slut . . . " Trish whimpered a little "Trish you are beautiful and everyone loves you, Kane and his crew are nothing . . . Everyone loves you . . . I love you" Angel whispered to her. "Isn't that cute," Tyson said standing at the doorway, Angel was so fast Tyson hadn't realized he was hit, until the nurses got him up. Angel was fighting with the guards and he tried sneaking back into the room. He got to the door and looked inside, Matt, Jeff and Edge were there . . . even Beniot and Jericho. The cops took Angel out and Tyson walked outside. He was about to get a cab when Angel threw him into a wall "Why the fuck are you here?" she growled, he said that Kane wanted him to get her out . . . and he did. But Kane's plan didn't work to well, because of the others being there. She let him go and went home to prepare for RAW. It had been four days since Trish saw Angel; after that incident with Tomko, she was released from the hospital and stayed with Edge at his place. She was really mixed up, she would be smiling and having a good time one minute and then the next she seemed bottled up and probably crying in a corner. Edge found himself holding her late at night trying to calm her nightmares, on night she was talking in her sleep and repeated what Angel had told her . . . "I'm not a slut . . . people love me . . . she loves me . . . " Edge got chills and said to himself, "Angel you are one strong person, hopefully Trish will be ready for RAW." The next morning Trish was really perky, she was actually rushing Edge to hurry up so they could get to the arena. When they got there, all the divas went to see how Trish was holding up and she told them she was fine. Edge was about to leave her side when he saw Kane and Christian coming from the other direction, the other women gasped and Trish turned. Her heart hammered in her chest and she began breathing hard, "Where the hell have you been, slut" Christian snickered grabbing her by the arm. Edge went to interfere, when Kane had him by the throat "Where's your little bird friend?" Edge answered honestly, "Haven't a fucking clue, but she'll kick your ass. . ." Victoria shoved Kane and said "Let him go you asshole, why do you have to bully people?" The others admired her bravery, and Kane was about to smack her when he saw Angel coming towards them.
Trish felt a sigh of relief, as Angel got closer. Kane dropped Edge and grabbed her by the calor of her jacket, "What no hello to your little slut?" He laughed jerking her toward Trish, but Angel remained silent. They were so close, Angel could feel the heat of Trish's breath on her chest, but she had to win . . . Angel just looked at her, Trish couldn't read Angel's eyes. All she saw was darkness, Angel turned her head to Kane "Are we done here? (Looking at Trish and Christian) I don't have time for games," she said dryly. Trish flinched involuntarily, why was Angel being so mean? Then she noticed Angel looked at her, directly in the eyes "Besides, you said I can't touch her, there's not much I can do about it" and walked by them to the locker rooms. Kane and Christian took Trish away, after Edge told her to trust in what Angel was doing. Angel was sitting in her locker room, when the door was kicked open, "WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?" Edge screamed in her face, then smacked her. Angel shoved him to the wall and had her hands around his throat, "Do you know what it's like to have people taunt you, with the very thing you need?" she was choking him and speaking like she's gone mad. "I was so close to her and I couldn't even . . . " she had a distant look in her face as she trailed off. Angel hadn't known what happened, all she knew was Matt and Jeff were separating them . . . "ANGEL, let him go" Matt said pulling her away from Edge. She snapped out of her daze and looked at the three men looking at her in an utter stupor. She apologized to Edge, who just hugged her "I know, I'm sorry I smacked you . . . "he said. Jeff looked at him and said, "Well it looks like you deserved the choking." They all laughed and talked about what had happened and how to win. Angel told the guys to worry about Lita, that she would work on Trish.
Kane and Christian were talking to Bischoff when Lita and Trish walked back in from the dinning area, "Oh look it's my wife and the slut" Kane snickered. Lita was about to say something when Trish stood in front of him. "I'm not a slut and you know it, everyone loves me . . . Angel loves me . . . " Kane rose from his seat and was inches from hitting her, when she got even closer, "Kane, I wouldn't waste time doing that. See Angel is going to probably commit suicide, or didn't you notice that when you placed me in front of her she tried being cold?" Kane looked at her for a second, seeing if she was bluffing. To Lita's surprise, Kane nodded and moved away. "Well then," said Eric with a smile "Maybe we should really drive Angel crazy . . . " He told Kane and Christian to meet him after the show in his office. Lita knew why Trish did what she did, but now she was worried about what they were going to do to Angel. RAW started and Bischoff made the announcement of the winner take all match at Vengeance . . . "That's right people, Hawke and her little team will face the ultimate team of Kane, Christian, Tomko, and . . . ME" The crowd went crazy, then it went black. The lights came up and Angel was face to face with Bischoff, Bischoff fell over and said "What the hell do you think your doing?" Angel just advanced on him slowly. She pulled him up and he held the mic to her face "TRISH!" she said in a raspy voice, Eric's face was turning red and she choked him. She dropped him as Tomko slid into the ring behind her, she whirled on him with the mic in her hand "Hold it Tyson, do you really think you can handle me?" Tyson stood his ground and just smiled. From the other side, Kane and Christian attacked her from behind. The crowd booed as they teamed up on her, Kane grabbed the mic "Hey Hawke, remember me . . . I killed your dad. (He smacks her face and she tries to hit him) Oh yeah and I took your little slut too . . . " On the Titantron there was a recording of Kane sleeping with Trish . . . Cameras zoom in on Angel's blood red face. She broke loose from their grasp and just started beating on Kane, Jeff, Matt and Edge came from the back to help her out. Kane, Christian, and Tomko were knocked from the ring, Bischoff was getting back to his feet when Angel grabbed him by the shirt. Eric kept shaking his head no, hoping Angel wouldn't hurt him, she walked to the side of the ring where Kane and the others stood and lifted Eric above her head. She launched him at the others knocking them all down. They all went to the back, Matt, Jeff and Edge had matches. As Eric was limping to his office, when he passed a hysterical Batista, "You think it's funny" Bischoff said, and Dave kept laughing "Ha-ha . . . you're taking my place in that match at Vengeance" he continued and stormed off. Batista stopped laughing and cursed, Angel was coming down the hall and he ran to catch up with her . . . "Hey Angel, I hate to say this, but I'm taking Bischoff's place in the match." She nodded to him and said "Hopefully we won't cross paths at that time." Just before she left, Trish was walking toward her, she tried avoiding Trish, but Dave stopped her. "Angel you know that video wasn't real . . . I never slept with Kane willingly . . . " Trish quickly covered her mouth at the look of pure hatred in Angel's eyes. The cameras got closer as Trish tried to caress Angel's face in comfort, "Sweety, it wasn't your fault . . . " her hand was a breath away from touching Angel, when Angel's head snapped away from her. Angel just walked away, and Trish watched her leave, feeling like her life had slipped away.
It was only two weeks to Vengeance after that show, and Kane tortured them, Angel more than anything. It was the Smack Down before Vengeance, Kane's team seemed well prepared, Jeff and Matt were worried about Angel. They hadn't spoken to her since that day, Matt got a call and was told to be at the far end of the arena when the show started. Jeff said later to his brother and went to find Edge, when Matt was going to the other side of the arena. When he got there, Angel was just arriving as well, the looked at each other and Matt said "I don't like this . . . " Angel nodded in agreement. They were jumped and blind folded. They were tied up in what felt like the boiler room. Angel was trying to get loose when the blindfold was ripped off; Bischoff smiled at her "Today you will lose that bet . . . " he laughed in her face and pointed to the T.V. that was brought there. Smack Down had started and it looked like Christian was putting something in a drink and had Batista give it to Trish. He walked into her locker room and she greeted him happily, "Hey Dave" she looked like she'd been crying a lot. Batista was fighting himself, "Hey Trish, I got something for that headache of your's . . . " and handed her the drink. She gratefully accepted it. She took it and laid down on the small sofa, her eyes closed and he whispered "I'm sorry". . . Bischoff laughed and left Angel to pull on the ropes trying to get to Trish. Matt regained consciousness and tried standing, he saw were he was and watched what had just happened. "Angel we'll get out and we'll save her. . ." While they were struggling in the room, Trish woke up again a little more friendly that usual, she walked out of her locker room and went to Christian's room. He was in the shower and she walked in on him and stood in the shower, cameras had followed her. "Hey Trish, I see your feeling better. . ." he said with a smile, she smiled back and slurred a little "Yeah Christian. . . I feel pretty good right now" He leaned in to kiss her when Lita pulled her out. "What the hell is going on?" she said, Trish gave her a big hug and said "Lita? You know I love you right?" Lita looked at her and said "Why don't we get some fresh air?" and took Trish out of the room. Matt and Angel thanked God for Lita, they were still pulling at the ropes when Kane bursted into the room and hit Angel hard with the chair almost knocking her head off, he made Matt watch and he made Angel bleed. After he was done with Angel he smashed Matt's head against the pipe behind him, knocking him out completely. Lita and Trish saw this on a near by T.V., cameras weren't around to see that whatever it was that Christian gave her wore off, "I see what they're trying to do. . .Vince is here right?" Trish asked and Lita nodded. She smiled and they walked to Vince's office, a few minutes later they walked out and Trish was playing the drugged slut they wanted her to be, she began walking to the boiler room. Eric was giving a talk about the main event at Vengeance, when the G-TV showed. . .
It showed Trish walking in to the boiler room and she was pressed tightly against Angel. Angel woke up and her head was reeling, then she realized the Trish was standing in from of her, "Trish you need to leave. . ." Trish put her finger to her lips "Don't you want me Angel?" frustrated Angel groan "You know I want you. . . I just can't touch you" Trish smiled knowingly, "Well then I'll touch you. . ." she reached up and pulled Angel's head to hers, and kissed her. Angel stood so still she thought everything stopped, Trish winked and walked out of the room. . . "Well ladies and gentlemen, I guess that means the main event is canceled. . ." Eric chuckled, then Vince's music hit. Vince came out and said "Actually Bischoff, the match is very on. . . in fact Hawke won that bet that you made off-air, so on Sunday. . .the fight is on." Eric was beside himself. After that Vince had paramedics get Angel and Matt to a hospital, Trish was in Lita's room complaining of a head ache when Kane walked in, "Trish need another drink?" he asked she shook her head and said "Have Dave drive me home. . . I don't feel so good." "He'll have to take you home after our match with Jeff and Edge. . ." he said adjusting his boots and sitting across from them. Eric walked in and said "Thank to Trish here, the match is still on!" His face was red and vains looked like they were going to burst. Kane just smiled "Eric she wants to save them so bad, they should be put in real danger. . . (looking at the ladies now) I heard about that water match she wants and I asked some on to build a tank for two women about your sizes. . ." Eric smiled and told Kane to accompany him to the ring. Trish definitely wasn't feeling good after that, both women watched the T.V. Kane and Bischoff came out and said "Well, since I am general manager, I still get to tweak this match. . ." he points to the Titantron and there is a fiberglass tank being held buy a crane, "This tank will be holding the prizes of the match, and slowly filling throughout the match. Hopefully, the girls will still be a live by the end of the match. The glass is bulletproof (a security guard fires at the tank and barely scratches it), so nothing can break it. . ." The show ended and Dave drove her home with Lita. When they got there Angel and Matt were sitting in the dark, "Hey" Matt said sleepily and gave Lita a kiss and Trish a hug. Angel was asleep, he said they should talk upstairs. When the settled in Trish's room, Matt asked "Do you remember anything from Smack Down?" Trish nodded and said "I was drugged for the most part, but yea. . . I think I kissed Angel?" Lita looked at her oddly, why was Trish playing around? "Well at Vengeance, I'm going to add a little extra to the match. . .whoever wins, I'll give the team leader a kiss. . . So you better win Matt!" Trish said. Matt said he had to get Angel home, that it would be best if they all didn't see each other until Vengeance. . . and left.
