Throughout the next few weeks Summer was encountering more and more problems with the divas in the locker room. Every time they had a house show or an autograph signing, somebody would be snickering or making harsh comments as she walked past. "You wanna mess with us you little bitch? We can play too you know!"

Summer had no idea where this was coming from; she'd not said one bad thing about the divas apart from Dawn. She was basically known as the locker room slut but other than that Summer had not bitched about anybody; her slate was clean. So she had no idea where all of these rumours were coming from, especially with Taker.

He nearly reduced her to tears right before her match one week because he shouted at her because she'd apparently called him 'old and washed up'. None of this was true and she was beginning to reconsider this wrestling career.

Ashley tried to stick by Summer throughout all of this, but was struggling because Summer was getting so badly bullied all the time. Everywhere she went somebody would make a harsh comment because they'd heard so many false rumours. Summers world was crumbling all around her backstage, but during a show she still gave the fans 110% and more. They cheered for her with Rey during all the house shows and even for the appearance they had to make on Raw to face Tai en Kai again.

Their feud was kicking off now, with Funaki trying to harass Summer backstage until Rey always made the save. Both teams had won and lost some matches making it pretty much equal. Summer and Rey had been feuding with Kai en Tai for about 6 weeks now and it was becoming a little stale. The writers were giving up on the storyline because they'd gotten so many new ideas for Summer to be teamed with Matt and Jeff.

Both brothers had gone to Vince to see if their storyline could be boosted and Vince suggested having a diva, hence Summer's new storyline plot. But that meant leaving Rey and she didn't want to do that, as they'd gotten so close throughout the weeks they were teamed up. They'd gotten to know each other so well, it was like Rey was Summer's long lost brother. They clicked and were best friends who hung out whenever they weren't busy with house shows and autograph signings. And to be split up from him was quite upsetting.

"No it wont be happening soon stop worrying" Summer said to herself quietly as she strolled down the corridor to head back to the locker room. She'd just been to a gym session with Matt and Jeff and she needed to change back into her clothes to find Rey to discuss their match for Smackdown tonight. But as she turned the corner to head into the women's locker room she noticed clothes strewn all over the floor and bits and pieces from brushes to make-up and jewellery.

When she looked closely, she noticed that they were all of her belongings. "What the hell?" she said to herself as she walked through all the broken bits and pieces of her make-up and personal belongings. She heard some commotion further down the corridor and stopped when she saw that it was Dawn and Stacy throwing Summer's things everywhere.

"Ooo what's this now?" Dawn said taking out a picture from Summer's bag. It was the one photo she carried everywhere she went, the one she cherished out of all of them, the picture of herself and her mom before she passed away. Even though Summer was a baby, she still took it with her just so that she'd be able to see her mom's face whenever she felt sad or alone. But now it was in Dawn's grubby little hands and Summer could hear herself growling. "Oh well the bitch doesn't need it"

"Don't you dare!" Summer shouted making both women jump but then smirk.

"Hi Summer, we were just having a little rummage through your belongings, nice photo you got here, shame you wont see it again" she was about to tear it up but Summer shouted again "Rip that up and I'll-"

"You'll do what?" came a thick Texan accent from behind Dawn. Summer looked up at him and snarled loudly.

"Ooo what's this? A picture of an ugly baby and an uglier woman"

"That's my mom" Summer snarled out to them all.

"You keep pictures of your mom in your bag? How lame" Stacy said and then started laughing with the others.

"One less picture wont hurt" Mark said tearing up the picture and letting it fall to the floor. Summer watched the pieces fall; feeling like her heart was being torn up with it. The tears were trying to form but she would not dare cry in front of these pathetic low lives.

"Oh dear what a shame, it's ruined and oops it looks like we've pretty much destroyed your belongings too" Dawn said in a pretend sympathetic voice making Summer snarl again. "And you're also not welcome in the locker room anymore, but there's plenty of storage closets you could use. You'll be just fine" then they all laughed and Summer watched Mark wrap his arms around Dawn.

"Come on baby, you deserve a big reward" Summer heard Mark say as they turned around and headed off in the opposite direction of Summer. Summer let the tears roll down her cheeks and she sank to her knees in front of the crumpled and torn up photo that she cherished more than anything.

Not realising that Mark had turned around to glance at her quickly before turning around, she just continued sobbing into her hands. She curled up into a ball and let the weeks of frustrated and held back tears fall down and drip onto the floor.

Her life was becoming a living hell, all because of these damn vicious rumours.


Hunter was strolling down the corridor humming to himself and not really paying attention to anything around him. But he heard a crack under his foot and he look down to see that he'd stepped on something plastic that resembled a lipstick. Then he scanned the floor to see it covered in what looked like somebody's belongings.

"What the hell happened here?" he asked himself as he continued down the corridor and heard sobbing. He froze in his tracks when he saw the tiny figure curled up in the middle of the corridor sobbing their heart out. Hunter walked closer until he could make out the person, and then broke out into a run when he saw it was Summer.

"Oh god Summer baby what happened?" he said as he crouched down to try and move her off the floor but she wouldn't budge. She remained in the same position still clutching what was left the photo Mark had torn up. "Baby come on speak to me" he tried again as he rubbed her back and slowly got her to move.

She slowly sat up revealing her make-up stained face and puffy red eyes. "Sweetie is all this yours?" Slowly Summer nodded as more hot tears streamed down her face. "Who did this baby?" Summer couldn't speak, she only choked out more sobs and clung onto Hunter who hugged her tightly and kissed her head.

"What the hell happened here?" Came another voice and Hunter looked up to see Glen dodging his way through all the belongings strewn across the floor. He noticed Hunter holding somebody and then was shocked to see it was Summer. "Hunter what happened?"

"I don't know yet Glen she hasn't told me" Glen started going around picking up some of the things off of the floor, noticing that all of the clothes were slashed and ripped apart. "Baby you need to tell us, who did this?"

Summer managed to hold back the sobs and say "Dawn, Stacy and Ma-Mark" then she broke into more sobs but still clutched the picture tightly. "What's this baby?" Hunter asked trying to pull at her hands but she tugged away. "Baby come on please tell me or let me see" Summer slowly opened her hands to reveal the crumpled up bits of the photo that Mark had torn apart.

"What's this baby?" Hunter said trying to put the pieces together.

"The only photo I had of my mo-mom and Mark came al-along and tore it u-up"

Hunter felt his anger levels rise to their fullest when she said that. "He did what?"

"I was walking down the corridor to head to the showers after the gym and I found all my stuff on the floor, with Dawn and Stacy going through my bags and they found the photo and Dawn was about to tear it up. I shouted for her to stop, then Mark came along and tore it to shreds, now its shredded up along with my heart" Hunter was trying to breathe normally but couldn't, the anger got the best of him and he gently slid out of Summer grip and got up off the floor and stormed off down the corridor to go and find that bastard Mark.

"Paul please don't!" Summer shouted but it was no use.

"Just leave him sweetie," Glen said coming back over to Summer after retrieving all of her clothes and belongings. "They're not reusable baby girl" Summer felt more tears forming as she looked at the state of her clothes. She'd brought some in especially for her ring appearances and some she had made with the female clothing designers in the company. But now they were covered in huge holes and were torn to shreds and smeared with her own make-up.

"Why me?" she asked quietly as she played with the stitching on one of the pieces of clothing. "Where am I supposed to go now, they've banned me from the locker room"

"What? That's bullshit and you know it"

"Even Mark agreed and he's the leader of both the locker rooms, you know that" Glen sighed as he knew it was true. Mark was the man in charge and whatever he said went so she had drawn the short straw on this one.

"I'm a good person Glen, never fought with anybody, friendly, fun and a good girl but now my world is crumbling down"

"How did this all start sweetie?"

"Ever since Dawn said something to Mark and he believed it, she'd told him I didn't want to introduce myself to him as I didn't respect him. Glen I've respected and loved the ground that man walked on, he was one of my inspirations to actually get into wrestling in the first place" Glen continued to listen to her as she sat there with a blank expression. "I couldn't wait to get here to run around and introduce myself to everyone, come backstage after my match and say to Mark 'I did it Taker, thanks to your inspiration I'm living and loving my dream' and I wanted him to smile and be proud. Not turn out to be the most ignorant ass hole I could ever met, I guess the Internet can tell the truth sometimes"

"Mark's been bitter since his divorce, and ever since then, nobody can change him back. He's a bitter lonely man. I wish there was something I could do to make him apologise but it's very rare that, that man apologises and means it. He's cold hearted and sinister, only uses women for one thing"

"That's what he's doing with Dawn"

"He's with her then?"

"Yup"

"Oh, well that's gross"

"Yep, probably so stretched out there wont be any grip anymore" Glen smiled a little but said "Come on then lil thing, we gotta get all your stuff together and get you to Matt and Jeff to explain what's happened" Summer nodded a little as she got up and started to retrieve some of the make-up that hadn't been destroyed.

She knew both Matt and Jeff wouldn't be civilised about this, they'd hunt Mark down and beat him to death.


Hunter marched his way down the corridor to head to Mark's dressing room to go and beat the crap out of him. He had treated Summer like shit for no reason and this had gone on for too long. He'd terrorised her for more than 6 weeks now and it wasn't funny. So Hunter being the perfect gentleman would get Mark to see sense in his own special way.

When he got to Mark's dressing room he banged on the door so hard it almost fell out of the frame. "Go away" Came a husky reply from Mark.

"I suggest you put that thing back in your pants before I personally rip it off!" Hunter yelled back hearing scrambling around on the other side of the door. Then after a while Mark appeared looking slightly rosy in the cheeks with messy hair. "What?" he growled glaring when he saw it was Hunter.

"Care to explain your actions earlier? Reducing a young woman to tears?!"

"The bitch cried?" Mark smirked at that thought which made Hunter growl.

"Yes she cried!"

"What over a damn photo?"

"More than the photo Mark, about her belongings being torn to pieces and everything being destroyed!"

"I didn't do it"

"Well why did you stand there and let it happen then?!"

"The bitch deserves it"

"Why?!"

"Because she's a disrespectful little piece of trash who needs to be taught a lesson not to mess with people"

"She's a good kid Mark! Hasn't done a damn thing wrong since she came to this company!" Mark snorted and said, "She brainwashed you too? I had Glen tell me that earlier, she's got you all fooled"

"The only person who's fooled Mark is you! You're the one that's fucking the biggest slut in this business"

"This coming from the one screwing Vince's daughter?"

Hunter glowed another shade of red and grabbed Mark with such force and slammed him hard against one of the brick solid walls. Mark groaned but listened when Hunter said "Summer Hardy is a sweet innocent young girl who hasn't done a damn thing wrong since coming into this company, that picture meant EVERYTHING to her and you destroyed it along with her heart. You're a mean vicious man Mark, since that divorce you think that women are nothing but whores who worship at your feet! Well let me tell you buddy, that ain't true! You're a complete jackass who needs to get his head pulled out of his ass so you can see sense! And as for Stephanie, and me we're in love you ass hole and that's more than I can say about your sorry ass trying to get with the sluttiest woman in the business! She's trash Mark and so are you, the respect I had for you is all gone and I hope I don't EVER catch you in the ring with me otherwise you'll be dead meat"

Mark looked stunned at his outburst but shrugged it off and smirked "Why doesn't Summer go crying to her mommy if she's that upset? Instead of heaving her shit on you, you're brainwashed boy, now if you'll excuse me, I've got something to get back to" then he shoved Hunter off who was still fuming and shaking with anger.

Mark slammed the door shut and flopped back onto the couch where Dawn was still waiting. "Aww my baby" is all she said as she tried to stroke Mark's arm but he shoved her off and started to pace the room.

"You're not letting that bastard get to you are you? What he said was all lies Mark; we destroyed Summer's things for a reason remember? She's not worth it and always says bad things about you"

"What was so important about that damn photo? Surely she can take another one with her mom"

"I dunno, I heard summat about her mom dying when she was a baby" Dawn shrugged it off with the wave of her hand and picked up a magazine whilst Mark stood rooted to the spot.

"What'd you say?"

"Her mom died when she was a baby" Dawn said like it wasn't anything major or important. But Mark felt something inside of him that he hadn't felt for a long time: guilt. He'd torn up a cherished photo that Summer obviously took everywhere on the road with her.

"Shit" is all Mark mumbled and flopped back down on the couch. Dawn threw the magazine aside and said "Erm, when you're done with your little drama scene… can we get back to me please?"

Mark smirked and shook the guilt away easily, "Sorry baby, now where were we?"

"That's better"


Glen knocked on the door of Matt and Jeff's dressing room and was greeted to the sight of both brothers fighting to stand in the doorway. But stopped fighting when they saw the state of their baby sister, who had started crying again and her face was smeared with make-up.

"Oh my god sis what happened to you?" Jeff said taking Summer by the hand and leading her lifeless figure into the room. She just fell back onto the couch and cried again, too upset to talk about the situation that had just happened. So Glen took her place "She had a bit of a run in with Mark, Dawn and Stacy"

"What the hell happened?" Matt said standing up straight getting angry. Jeff tended to Summer who continued to sob into the couch cushions.

"They've torn her clothes to shreds and ruined her make-up and all of her belongings, especially" Glen stopped when Summer sobbed harder at what he was going to say.

"Especially, what?" Matt said sternly, not liking where this was going.

"The photo she carried with her of your mom"

Matt punched the wall in anger and said "Son of a bitch! Why! Why would he do that?!"

"I don't know Matt that's just what she told me, that Dawn was about to tear it up but she stopped her, then she gave it to Mark who tore it to shreds"

"Where is he?"

"Who?"

"That bastard Mark! I want to kick his ass"

"Matt you'll just get the shit kicked out of you" Jeff said sternly to his brother who had started pacing. Jeff turned back to Summer who had reduced her tears to just sniffles.

"Did he hurt you in any way baby?" Jeff asked as he stroked her cheek, but Summer said "No, just broke my heart when he tore the picture up"

"He's such an asshole!" Matt snarled trying to get past Glen, who set all of Summer's things down before grabbing Matt. "Listen, you wont get anything out of it. Mark will beat the crap out of anybody who crosses his path, in the ring or not. You need to calm down Matt, Hunter stormed off to confront him anyway" just as he said that, the door to the dressing room opened to reveal Hunter still looking pissed off.

"How'd it go?" Glen asked shoving Matt down on the other couch to calm himself down.

"I confronted him about it but he didn't care, I argued and shouted at him but he's not interested. He's a cold bitter man Glen"

"I know, you don't have to tell me twice. I felt the wrath during his divorce" Glen shuddered at the memory but then focused on the group. Summer had sat up now and tried to wipe at her eyes but she just smudged her make-up. Then she said "What am I gonna do about my clothes, they tore everything up. Including my wrestling gear" she held up the one-piece denim playsuit she was going to wear tonight.

"Any of it fixable?" Jeff asked as he examined some of the clothing.

"I don't think so, I'm screwed"

"We've still got time before practise starts and the run down of the show, why don't you go shopping to get some more stuff?"

"I could"

"You should and you kinda need too, they've destroyed everything" Jeff said pushing away the suitcase starting to go red in the face.

"What did you just look at?" Summer asked her brother who was crimson.

"You're under-"

"My underwear?"

"Yeah"

"Oh, they destroyed that too?"

"Yup by the looks of it"

"Ahh man they're such bitches"

"Go back and confront them then"

"I can't they've banned me from the locker room"

"They what?"

"Said I'm not welcome there and Mark even agreed, so I'm kinda screwed"

"You'll share with us then sis"

"Won't I be in your way?"

"Nope, surely you wont take up that much room"

"I suppose not, you really ok with it?"

"Yeah sure, you're our sister" Summer smiled and hugged both of her brothers, "Thanks guys"

"No worries sis, it's what we're here for" Summer smiled again, happy that she had such wonderful brothers and friends to cheer her up.
