Author's note: Well, you should get it by now.

The following week after Matt's death...

The news of Matt's death sent shockwaves throughout the company.

The news definitely shocked Hunter and Amy, who had to cut short their romantic week-long honeymoon so they could come back and attend her ex-boyfriend's funeral.

Literally everyone showed up to pay their final respects for the man who declared he would not die and fought so hard to get to the top. One by one, mourners looked down at his coffin and cried.

When Amy approached the casket, she had a red rose in her hand. Her face was red and puffy from her constant crying. She looked at him with bloodshot eyes and her heart was pounding furiously.

She couldn't believe the man she once loved was taken away from her.

"Oh, Matt. I really did love you. And I'm sorry for kicking you out of my life. I should've forgave you. I should've been there for you. I should've gave you the benefit of the doubt. But, instead, I got upset, I got furious and I said some things I shouldn't had said. Now, you're gone. And it's all my fault. I just want you to know that I will always love you. You were and will always be my best friend. I'm really gonna miss you," Amy said before she broke down and cried again.

Then she laid the red rose down beside him.

Hunter came over and wrapped his arms around her. Slowly, he led her away from the casket. She laid her head on his shoulder and cried harder, letting it all out. In just six months, she had lost another one of her closest friends.

Amy and her husband sat down and waited for the ceremony to start, not realizing someone was watching them.

He was pissed off.

"I can't believe you're gone, man. You didn't have to take your own life," Adam said, sorrow filled his voice.

He looked back and saw Amy crying on Hunter's shoulder. He was upset because that should've been him comforting her in his arms.

"I'm gonna tell you this. You may have gave up on Ames, but I didn't. Even though I'm back with my wife, I still love Amy. I'm gonna do whatever it takes to get her back. Even if it means I have to break up her so-called 'perfect' marriage. I'm gonna miss you, though, man. You were the greatest," he declared.

He placed his hand on Matt's forehead, declaring that he misses his best friend so much. Then he went and took his seat next to Lisa, who was crying and had a box of tissues in her hand.

"I can't believe he's gone, baby. I miss him already," Lisa cried.

Adam took her in his arms and held her close. He looked back and saw Amy and Hunter talking to Vince, Linda and Shane. He watched impatiently as Hunter wrapped his arms around his wife and kissed her forehead.

I'm sorry about Matt, Ames. I know how you feel about him. But, I will get you back, even if I have to die trying, Adam thought with a tainted smile on his face.

a few hours after the funeral...

When the service and the burial was over, the mourning guests went to a local Italian restaurant for the reception. After much persuasion from Hunter, Amy reluctantly agreed to go just so she wouldn't be left alone.

But, she would soon regret that decision.

While Hunter went ahead and mingled with some of his friends, Adam took the opportunity sit by her at the table. Amy was too upset to even tell him to get lost.

"Ames, we need to talk," he said directly.

She rolled her eyes. "I can't deal with you right now. I'm too upset with everything that's going on."

"What's the matter with you? Why are you so upset?" Adam was hurt.

"What's the matter with me? I'll tell you what's the matter with me! My ex-boyfriend is dead! D-E-A-D! And you wanna know why? Because I told him to get out of my life. He still loves me but I turned my back on him . Do you know how guilty I feel? And here you come trying to make me feel sorry for you. Well, I got news for you, Adam. I don't!" Amy exclaimed quietly.

He was getting upset of what she said. "What the hell has gotten into you? Don't you care for me at all?"

She laughed hysterically. "You know something? The funny is, I allowed myself to actually love you. I was so happy with you as my boyfriend. But, guess what? Soon as you won the title at NYR, you've changed. You became a different person. You were not the person I fell in love with. You used me as your sex toy, your lackey and, not to mention, you disrespected my feelings and played with my emotions!"

"Don't you dare talk about me playing with your emotions. How did you think I felt when I saw you kissing Hunter and revealing to the world that you've been seeing him behind my back?" he seethed.

Amy glared at him. "I was with Hunter since Matt dumped me. Hunter loves me. Hunter respects me. Hunter holds me. Hunter makes love to me. Hunter cherishes me. Something you stopped doing after you claimed the championship."

"I can't believe this! You were with him even after we got together? God, I wanted to call you a whore but I still love you. That's why I came over here; to say I want you back," Adam revealed as he lay his hand over hers gently.

Amy was shocked. He still loved her? After the way he treated her. Suddenly, anger boiled in her veins as she snatched her hand away and scowled at him.

"Have you got no brains at all? I want you to read my lips: I DON'T LOVE YOU ANYMORE!" she boomed.

Everyone in the room was silent after she said those words. Hunter immediately went by her side and glared at the man who hurt her.

"Is everything okay, baby?" he whispered in her ear.

"Hey, why don't you back off man? This is between me and her," Adam ranted as he jumped in Hunter's face.

"I don't think so. You hurt my wife, you hurt me. So you need to back off!" Hunter fired back.

"Baby, please don't do anything. Let me handle this," Amy jumped in, holding her husband's hands into hers.

He looked at her suspiciously. "Are you sure about that?"

She leaned over and kissed him, which pissed Adam off even more. "I'm sure. But, you can stay and watch out for me like you always do. I love you, baby."

Hunter smiled, which made Adam sick to his stomach. "I love you, too, Mrs. Helmsley."

Amy turned back around and faced the man who used to be her boyfriend with a seething glare.

"Now I want you to know something right here, right now. I love my husband. I have no intention of leaving my husband. I'm gonna have a family with my husband. And, I don't know what going on with you and Lisa, which, by the way, I walked in on you two making love in your locker room before the Rumble, but what Hunter and I have is real. So you need to accept that!" Amy exclaimed.

With bloodshot tears falling from his eyes, he did something that shocked everyone, including his own wife.

Adam raised his hand up and...slapped her across her face!

For a moment, Amy didn't say anything. She held her face in her hand and stared at him. Then, with no fear lurking in her body, she raised her hand and slapped him back!

"You think I was just gonna take that? You forgot, I'm the extreme diva. I don't take shit from nobody, not even you!" Amy declared with a smile.

Adam glared at her before he walked away, with Lisa trailing close behind. Everyone else continued minding their own business.

"Do you wanna go back?" Hunter whispered in her ear. Then he took her in his arms

With fresh tears falling from her eyes, Amy just nodded her head. Before they even reached the door, Vince stopped them.

"Amy, Hunter. I just want to say I'm sorry for what happened and I will not condone this kind of action. Effective immediately, Adam Copeland is terminated from the company," Vince said before he walked away.

Amy was happy, but, deep down inside, she knew Adam was gonna be pissed when he finds out.

"I can't believe this shit!" Adam yelled after he slammed the phone down.

Lisa was in the living room. She felt so bad for her husband. She overheard his temper tantrum in the other room. She decided not to bother him. She'll wait for him to tell his story.

A few minutes later, Adam barged out, his hand battered and bloodied. He must've punched the wall in a fit a rage after he heard the news.

"Baby, what's wrong? Who was on the phone?" Lisa asked.

"Vince fucking McMahon! You know what he did? He FIRED me!" he screamed.

That's when she bolted up from the bed. "Fired? How did that happen?"

"Come on, woman! You saw what happened earlier at the restaurant. Vince fired me because I slapped Amy!"

She went over and wrapped her arms around him. "Well, honey. I'm sorry you got fired but don't you think you were out of line when you hit her?"

Adam stared at her in disbelief. "Since when you decided to be Amy's defender? You're my wife, remember? I thought you were on my side!"

"I am on your side! I love you! It's just that you didn't have to hit her! And she was telling the truth. She loves her husband and she wants to be with him," Lisa reminded him softly.

To her shock, he pushed her off of him and grabbed his jacket by a nearby bed.

"When I get back, I want you gone!" Adam demanded as he headed for the door.

"Baby, what's wrong with you? Why are you pushing me away?" she asked, almost pleading with him. Tears were falling from her eyes.

"Getting back together with you was a mistake. I don't love you. I still love Amy. That's what the argument was all about. I want her back and I'm gonna do whatever it takes to get her back. You mean nothing to me!" Adam said before walked out of the room, and out of her life once and for all.

Lisa sat on the floor, crying. She couldn't believe this! Once again, her husband broke her heart! She stood up slowly and grabbed bag, then she began packing.

Going home to her family was way out of the question. They disowned her right after she married Adam. Her loving mother in particular, told her to 'never darken this doorstep' again and that she will go to hell.

But Lisa decided not to give up. She still loved Adam. And she will get him back.

Or die trying.

Oh, the drama ensues! The next chapter: Amy gets a pleasant surprise!
