Chapter 2: A Little Visit
As the action was happening in the ring, Shane studied the monitor backstage. Lita was taking on Molly Holly. Although both women were friends in real life, on stage, they were mortal enemies.
Shane couldn't keep his eyes off Amy. She moved with such ease in the ring, executed every suplex and body slam to perfection. She was exciting and charismatic. She was a mixture of risk taker, and controlled chaos. Something that Shane was missing in his life right now. He loved his wife Marissa, but with the new baby their sex life had become stale and forced. She was always tired and never in the mood. Shane on the other hand wanted it just as much as he always had, which by the way was practically every day. As he continued to watch Amy, he knew she would be the spark he needed to make him feel alive again.
As Molly Holly wrapped her arms around Lita's neck and squeezed, Lita spun out of her grasp and tripped her from behind. Molly fell hard to the mat. This gave Lita the opportunity she needed. She climbed to the top rope and jumped, flipping through the air and landing hard on top of Molly. Amy had executed the maneuver several times, but tonight she landed wrong. Her arm flipped out from under her causing her to dislocate her shoulder. Even though she finished the match it was obvious she was in pain.
As she made her way backstage, she held her arm tightly and called for a doctor. Adam Copeland was the first one to approach her.
"Amy, hon, you okay?" He asked with concern on his face.
"It hurts so bad Adam."
As she gritted her teeth Adam provided a shoulder for her to lay her head on. Knowing her as well as he did, he knew she did not want to cry, even though and normal person would have.
"Amy, what happened?" Shane asked, out of breath as he rushed over to her as quickly as possible.
"I think it's dislocated." She responded.
Adam looked up at Shane, one eyebrow raised. Shane had always shown concern when one of the company's top money makers had incurred any kind of injury for obvious reasons. The wrestlers in the WWE were an investment, and when it came to the main eventers, there was a lot of money at stake should one of them get hurt. But for mid-carders like Amy, Shane's concern caused Adam a bit of suspicion.
"Get a doctor here now!" Shane commanded of whoever was around.
It took only a few minutes before a doctor was on the scene and paramedics were putting her in an ambulance and racing off to the hospital.
The following morning, Amy lay in a hospital bed waiting the results of her injuries. She knew in her heart that the damage was not severe, but it would be at least a couple of weeks before she would be back on the road and in the ring.
While Amy lay in her bed, bored to tears and flipping through a magazine, she hear's a knock at the door.
"Come in." She calls out.
When the door opens, she is surprised to see Shane standing there. A beautiful arrangement of flowers in his hand.
"How we doing young lady?" He asks as he walks into the room and sets the flowers next to her bed.
"Uh fine I guess." Amy responds, still surprised to see one of the owners there to visit her for what seemed a minor injury in the big scope of things.
"Good. We need you back out there in the ring. Your fans are already missing you." Shane says. A smile stretching across his face.
As Shane stands above Amy with his arms folded across his chest, she can't help but to notice his more casual wear. He's dressed in a short sleeved white button up shirt and blue jeans, and even though the shirt and jeans are probably some kind of expensive designer brand, Amy's never seen Shane so laid back. She's always thought of Shane as sexy, but could never get past the fact that he was a McMahon. He was the millionaire son of a multi-millionaire, a shirt and tie kind of guy, and married for that matter.
In the awkward silence that followed his appearance, Shane sat at the edge of Amy's bed and continued to smile. His focus on Amy the whole time. His eyes never shifting. He placed a hand on Amy's leg.
"Well, I just wanted to make sure you were doing okay. We need you back." He squeezed Amy's leg with his hand for emphasis sending chills up Amy's back.
Amy felt something and it scared the hell out her. She felt butterflies, she felt a sort of rush, she felt sexual energy that she'd only felt twice before. Once with Matt and once with Adam. Matt was now no longer a part of her life and their relationship ended on ugly terms. Adam was still a part of her life but now only as a friend. Given her history with men, Amy feared what this simple little touch from Shane might now lead to.
A/N: Poor Amy, right?
