Disclaimer: I do not own any rights to any superstars in the WWE and anything placed in this story that relates to real life, is completely coincidental.

Summary: Amy is distraught upon receiving a call learning of her husband, Matt Hardy's death. When a new man senses her sorrow and steps in to save her, will it be to late? Or can she find real lasting love again?

Additional Information: This is the second story in the series Love United. It follows after the Trish and Shawn love story.

A/N: Thank you for all the reviews when you do review it. Because I am writing this chapter immediately after I wrote number sixteen, I won't know what any of you have to say, so I am thanking you before hand, and well I hope I am making all of you happy with what is happening. Fear not, the romance will not die, at least not while I am still alive and kicking. Your welcome for me continuing this with superstars for more then three stories, it is my pleasure. Also, look for the injured Chris to speak like Matt in italics; I thought it would be better for the injury so it looks like he is speaking softly. Yes it is Kevin Nash, but for this story and the ups and downs, please open your mind, his accomplice is not Scott Hall. LOL

Watching every motion
In my foolish lover's game
On this endless ocean
Finally lovers know no shame
Turning and returning
To some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion
As you turn around and say
My love

"Chris man, don't make any sudden movements. You were shot man and believe me, if we lose you now, Amy will never forgive us." Jeff said, still shocked by the vision of his brother that had appeared before him and then vanished into thin air. Was it possible that his brother wasn't as dead as they all had thought?

"Jeff is right man, Amy needs you."

"Who did this to me Mark?"

"I don't know man, a sniper is my guess. I told you that I was here to help you get your girl back and well hell I am going to damn well do it. I think we are closer then we thought when we got here man. I am going in."

"Don't let them kill her man. Whatever happens with me, do not let them kill her, she isn't meant to go yet."

Mark wasn't sure what his friend was talking about, but he knew that Chris might know what he was talking about since Matt had shown himself as an angel only minutes before. All Mark knew at that moment was that someone didn't want them coming any closer and although it might risk his life, he had to do this. He wasn't a guy that would let a woman die, let alone Amy Dumas one of the nicest women on RAW.

"I won't let anything happen to her alright man? I know what is at stake here and I won't put her or myself in danger."

Mark walked from Chris then, knowing it wasn't going to be long before his friend went into shock and had to fight for his life. If he was going to do anything, he had to do it right now to make sure no one ended up dying.

"Jeff, call the paramedics and get him out of here. I know he won't want to go, he wants to be the one to save the day for Amy but with everything his body will go through shortly, he needs to make sure he is on his feet again when I bring her home to him."

Jeff nodded his head and immediately pulled out his cell phone. He had also gotten Matt to add the GPS system to his, and he knew that wherever he called from the paramedics and the police would know right where to come. As he made the call he said a silent prayer that they were able to get to Amy in time.

When the call was done, and Jeff was secure at Chris's side, Mark set off inside of the building. Whoever was at the other end of the rifle, they obviously hadn't been thinking that anyone other then Chris and Jeff would be coming after Amy. He got in with relative ease and started securing doors. He had a limited amount of time to find her before they ended up killing her, and for Chris he was damn sure he was going to do it.

Take my breath away
Take my breath away

When Mark was securely in the building and Jeff was sitting by his side, Chris felt his eyes grow heavy and start to close. As much as she didn't want to embrace death at that moment, he could feel it bearing down on him and wasn't in the shape he should have been to fight it.

He felt his mind go dark and as he passed out, he remembered the first time he had talked to Amy and told her that he had loved her.

Watching I keep waiting
Still anticipating love
Never hesitating
To become the fated ones
Turning and returning
To some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion
As you turn around and say
My love

Flashback – Four Years Ago Valentines Day

"Who are you facing tonight Chris?" Amy asked him as she sat between his legs in the men's locker room. He shared the locker room with Adam, Matt, Jeff and Jason and although none of them were in there at that moment, she knew it would only be a matter of time before they did come in and disturb them.

"I have Paul in a cage match for the Undisputed Title tonight. I really think they did a good thing giving it to me tonight. I mean can you tell how the crowd is on the edge of their seats for this?"

She watched him as he talked and she couldn't help but smile herself. He had come into the WWF and had worked his ass off for the company, proving to Vince and all the others that he wasn't just some WCW reject. He had already won the Intercontinental Title a bunch of times, and now he was going for the big time. It was a big night for Chris and she knew it would always be in the history books as one of his best fights.

"They did do a good thing, you are an amazing talent. I better go and get ready myself, I have a women's tag match with Trish, Molly and Victoria."

They kissed goodbye, knowing that it wouldn't be long before they saw each other again.

Through the hourglass I saw you
In time you slipped away
When the mirror crashed I called you
And turned to hear you say
If only for today
I am unafraid

She watched with concern as she saw Chris flat out on the mat, with blood matted all through his blond hair, her heart aching inside just wanting to run down the ramp and be with the man she knew she would forever love.

Take my breath away

As she waited on baited breath, she watched him get to his feet and continue fighting. She couldn't explain how she knew, but as she watched him continue to fight and then to win the championship belt, she just knew that something was wrong and Chris was going to need to be looked at or taken to a nearby hospital.

The referees helped him to the back and had him lie down on a gurney while they went to get the immediate medical attention. She ran from the locker room and all the way down the hall, paying attention to the fact that the cameras were on him at all times, wanting to show the crowd what was going on after the biggest match of the night. She pushed past the cameramen and made her way to where Chris was lying, battered and bruised.

"Baby what happened out there, did you heart something?" she cried, not wanting to call attention to herself but knowing her heart had a different road it wanted to take.

"I hurt my head, its all scrambled. They are going to take me to the nearest hospital. Find out where that is and follow me there please. I don't want to be alone."

"Don't worry, I will be right there with you Chris, I won't leave your side, not ever."

"Ames, I know I don't say this enough, or I haven't said it at all, but in case I don't get a chance to say it for awhile, I need to say it now."

She pushed the tears out of her eyes, trying to send the pain in her heart further down into her stomach. What was it that he thought was so important that if he didn't say it now, it might never be said?

"What is it Chris?"

"I love you Amy Dumas, and I don't want to ever be without you. You make my life worth living. I just wanted you to know that in case something happens to me tonight that wasn't planned."

Haunted by the notion
Somewhere there's a love in flames
Turning and returning
To some secret place inside

My love

When he said the words, she felt her heart flood all of the emotions she was feeling right to the surface. She had expected him to tell her that he would see her when he woke up, not that he loved her. They hadn't been dating all that long but she knew in her heart that she felt the same way, and felt that now was the best time to tell him that.

"I love you too Chris, just hold on to me and never let go."

He awoke then to the darkness that surrounded him and was reminded again of the words she had said right before they had taken him away to be operated on.

She had loved him then, and had gotten him through all of the hard weeks after the injury with just those words, and it was those words now that were making him fight for his life for a second time. If there was even a chance that he could hold her in his arms again, he wasn't going to give it up to death. Life just wasn't written that way.

With those words that she whispered to him so many years ago, she had taken his breath away, and there was no way he would give up on her now.
