Author's Notes – I've been bad. I've had this chapter sitting around for like 3 weeks and I haven't bothered to type it up and upload it. But, here it is, finally, and I hope you all like it. I'm trying to get back in the swing of writing but this job I have is killing me in hours...but I'm loving the paychecks so all is good.

On to the thank yous...I would like to send a huge shout out and thank you to the following people...GoddessofCrimsonInsanity, Evandiel, LovexFury, Little-Miss-Rachel, Cenasnakedinmybedwithme, RedemptionOfHope, and dj-ssdd. Thank you all for your kind words and reviews. They really do inspire me to write more of this. And to everyone out there, I honestly do thrive on feedback. So please, tell me what you think.

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.

Phone Calls

Matt Hardy pounded his fist on the table causing the small silver cellphone to shake. Amy cheated on him. She took a four and a half year relationship and threw it out the window, as if he meant nothing, just to be with one of his friends.

Thinking back on his relationship with Amy Matt couldn't quite figure out when things went bad let alone what he had done to push he into the arms of another. Sure he had a little tunnel vision in the beginning of their relationship but things were changing, he was changing, and all of it was for her. Overwhelmed by frustration he pounded his fist on the table once again.

"Hey lighten up man," his brother Jeff said walking into the kitchen. "I mean what did that table ever do to you?"

"Look Jeff, I'm really not in the mood to put up with any crap right now so if you don't mind would you..." Matt was cut off by his brother who was looking at him in concern.

"What's wrong Matt?" Jeff asked sitting at the table.

"Amy cheated on me," he said after taking a deep breath.

"Amy?" Jeff repeated in shock. "Our Amy? Amy Dumas...cheated on you?" I don't believe it."

"Well she did and with Adam."

"Now I really don't believe you. Is it April Fools Day or something?" Jeff laughed but soon stopped when he saw the look on Matt's face. "Dude, maybe it's just some misunderstanding." Matt then picked up the cellphone and hit a few buttons before handing it to Jeff.

"Tell me if it sounds like a misunderstanding." Jeff listened and soon realized he was listening to Amy's voicemail and was shocked when he heard a very familiar voice.

"Ames, hey baby. Last night was amazing. I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to tonight. I love you and I'll see you later." Jeff sat there dumbstruck and angry as he closed Amy's phone. How could they do that to Matt? Reaching in his pocket Jeff pulled out his own cellphone and dialed Adam's number. It rang five times before going to his voicemail and then he spoke.

"Adam, man what you did wasn't cool. In fact it was pretty shitty. I pretty much hate you right now and hope you get what you deserve in this." Jeff then hung up his phone and looked at his brother. "Want me to make some coffee?"


Adam's phone rang and finally it wasn't a Hardy's number. Sighing in relief Adam answered the call.

"Dude what were you thinking?" Jason Reso said offering him no kind greeting.

"So Matt called you, huh?" Adam rolled his eyes thinking of the other man.

"No he didn't," Jay said, "but he did tell the entire internet what you and Amy did. Adam have you lost your mind?"

"You're kidding," Adam groaned, "I was hoping we would be able to settle this like adults. Damn him."

"Damn him? Adam you're a married man who just stole his girlfriend. He kinda has a right to be upset." Jay explained.

"But to bring it out like this, it didn't need to happen like that," Adam sighed.

"Kind of like this whole affair," Jay said angrily. "Does Lisa know?"

"Yeah, I came home and she was all packed. She's gone."

"That's understandable. Look, I've got to go..."

"Jay, we're okay right?" Adam asked.

"Course man, you're like a brother to me," Jay laughed. "Right now I'm a little pissed and disappointed in you but we're still good. Oh by the way, my wife hates you now, but I'm sure she'll get over it."

"Good," Adam said smiling, "I'll talk to you later."

"Bye."
