Author's Notes – New story! Yep...2 chapters of a new story and I updated one of my other ones tonight. I love when I get over writer's block! Anyways, here is my new story, Against All Odds. I feel I should warn you now, this fic does deal with the real life 'situation' that happened in recent months. I told myself I was not going to even attempt to write anything like this but then I was challenged and couldn't help myself. So keep that in mind as you are reading.

As I said, this is a challenge fic, in response to a challenge issued to me on my own site. Here is the challenge... Dear Tink, I challenge you to write a fic about how Adam (Edge) cheated on his wife, and how Amy (Lita) cheated on matt. But make it so it explains them going from being hated in the locker room, and on the show, to becoming the most popular couple today! And they got their when all they had was each other. Sent in by Shawn Chase 7-16-05 So Shawn Chase, this is for you.

Secrets, Lies, and Hiding

"No baby I think I'm just going to stay in tonight and relax," Amy Dumas said into her cell phone as she gauzed nervously at the clock. She had to wrap this conversation up quick; he would be here any minute now. Suddenly there was a knock at the door; he was always so punctual, so reliable, so unlike the man she was on the phone with.

"What was that honey," her boyfriend asked as she opened the door to reveal Adam Copeland standing in front of her.

"Oh just Trish," she lied as she motioned for Adam to stay silent, "she has movies and pizza so I guess she wants me to watch them with her."

"Well then I'd better let you girls go have your fun. Tell Trish hi for me,"

"I'll do that, bye Matt."

"Bye Matt," Adam said in a high-pitched voice as Amy swatted at him.

"Bye Ames, I love you," Matt Hardy said sweetly.

"Ditto, I'll talk to you later," Amy then flipped her phone shut and glared at the tall man in front of her. "What were you thinking, we could have been caught!"

"Oh come on Amy it was a joke and besides it's not like he realized it was me," Adam smiled as he wrapped his arms around her. "Besides, if he found out would it really be that bad? No more secrets, no more lies, no more hiding." Adam started to kiss down Amy's neck seductively. "So let's just tell them. I want to be free to be with you in front of everyone."

"We can't just tell them and expect everything to be okay. You're married and I..." Amy's voice trailed off. "It's not that easy you know."

"Amy, they are going to find out eventually," Adam sighed, "wouldn't you rather they find out from us than some other way?"

"Yes but Adam our jobs are at stake with this."

"All the more reason for us to tell them now," Adam pointed out.

"Fine," she sighed, "just give it another week so I can figure out what to say. Then we can tell them everything."

"Deal," Adam said kissing her as the two fell back onto the bed.

"Lisa I'm telling you e went into her room hasn't come out yet," a dark haired woman said into her phone as she paced her hotel room. "Isn't this what you've been suspecting?"

"Yes Amanda, it is," Lisa sighed, "are you sure of what you saw?"

"Positive," Amanda said. "She even called him Trish because she was on the phone when he came to the door."

"Alright then, thanks for calling Amanda, send Chris my best," Lisa then hung up her phone before quickly picking it up again dialing quickly. "Hello, Matt Hardy?"
