Chapter Ten:

"What the fuck?" Elizabeth asked onto the microphone.

Linda held out her microphone for Vince.

"Elizabeth it's good to see you." Vince broke his hug from Stephanie. Vince looked to Shane. "It's good to see all of you."

"Okay! What the hell is going on here? People just don't come back from the dead!" Elizabeth told him, she glared. "Not unless you're the Undertaker of course. But you're not. You're dead."

"No, I'm very much alive. I faked my death."

Elizabeth shook her head and a tear fell down her face. She was in disbelief right now.

"I did it because I wanted you to know that you're a McMahon. I wanted you to be apart of this family. And you have become apart of this family."

"Is that so? See, Vince. It doesn't work like that when you're alive."

"Why doesn't it?"

"Because, I hate you. I'm so bitter about what happened. I don't even know the full story. All I know is that you didn't love me. Not you or my mother. You put me in an orphanage! I felt so alone and sometimes I still feel that way."

"I'm sorry, but it was for the best."

"The best for whom? For you? Not for me." Elizabeth shook her head.

"Dad…" Shane told his father. "How could you do this to your family? I had to explain to my little boys that their grandfather was never coming back. Do you know how hard that is? This is an all time low. I can't believe you."

"I can."

Everyone in the ring looked to Elizabeth.

"From what heard about you and I used the term heard loosely, I heard that you like to screw people over. Well, aren't I'm lucky. You can add me to the list, the 'People Vince McMahon has screwed' list."

"That's only onscreen." Was Vince's answer. "It's scripted."

"And the Montréal Screw job. That was scripted? Yeah, right, it wasn't. It was just you being you."

"That's in the past."

"Just like me. I'm out of here." Elizabeth set the microphone down and was about to go down the steal steps when Linda spoke.

"Elizabeth, come back!" This time Linda spoke. "You can't run from this. We need to settle it here."

Elizabeth laughed. She nodded to Linda. "Okay." She went back up the steal steps and went thru the ropes. She picked back up the microphone.

"We need to settle this, you're right Linda." Elizabeth smiled to Linda and she walked over to Vince. She took a deep breath before slapping him right in the face.

Vince held his cheek and Shane and Stephanie were by his side. They glared at Elizabeth.

"I hate you, I hate everything about you. And this family. I'm ashamed to be known as Elizabeth McMahon. I would give anything to trade places with anyone right now. You walked out on me and now you wanna be in my life? It doesn't work like that. Why couldn't we just do this behind closed doors, but no…it had to be done in this ring. Why is everything public with you McMahons?"

"Elizabeth, Linda and I thought this was the only way you'd be in this family."

"…Linda knew?" Elizabeth's eyes widened. "Oh my God. This has all been a lie, everything. I thought of you as a mother, Linda. That whole 'it's like you've become a daughter to me' thing…it's all been a lie."

"It wasn't a lie. It's true."

"Then what is this? I shouldn't be here. This whole summer was a mistake."

Jeff, who's head had been down the whole time, looked up. Was their relationship…a mistake?

"I shouldn't have come here. I should've just gone."

"I'm sorry about putting you in the orphanage. I'm sorry for all the pain I have caused. But take your rightful place on the McMahon Dynasty, stay and get to know me. Your father."

"I can't forget what I've been through. It's your entire fault."

"It's not a decision I made lightly to leave you. It was a hard decision, you don't know what it's like to make a decision like that."

"That's where you're wrong! I know what it's like! I had a child!" Elizabeth yelled at him. Tears raced down her face.

"…You…you did?"

"Yes… and I killed my son!"

The arena was silent.

"I was mixed up in bad crowds, did bad things and I got pregnant. But I didn't stop doing what I did, which was drinking and doing drugs. I was six months pregnant when I went to the hospital, my baby was nearly dead. So, they had to get him out of me. I delivered via, C-Section. I had him when I was 17. I had already been in rehab when I was 15. I knew all the risks in me drinking again, everything that could've happened. It wasn't good. My son was born prematurely, and he was put in an incubator and hooked up to some machines. The doctor's said, he may not make it and I had a choice. To let him breathe on his own or to keep him hooked up to the machines. I didn't care about my son or if he could've lived or not. I told them to do whatever, because I couldn't be his mother. They pulled the plug. My son is dead, I killed him and when I did…I didn't care about him."

"I'm sorry I didn't know."

"Nobody knew! I hate myself for what I did. I still live with it. It hasn't even been a year yet. I miss him, but I don't have that right because I didn't love him. It's your fault."

"What? How is it dad's fault?" Stephanie asked Elizabeth. Why was Elizabeth blaming their father?

"I never knew love. So I couldn't give love. I couldn't love him because I didn't know how. Nobody's ever taught me how. You were supposed to teach me how. You failed me and you left me."

"And I'm sorry, how many times do I have to say it?"

Elizabeth ignored his question, but continued with her last sentence. "Now it's my turn to leave you."

The ring became silent as Elizabeth gazed around at all the silent superstars crowding the ring. She wiped her fallen tears and soon her eyes locked with Jeff's. Moments ago she would've smiled and giggled at him, but she didn't have time to do that now. She didn't know if Jeff was going to give her a reason to stay, and if he told her he wanted her to stay right then and there she didn't know what she would've done.

Elizabeth Zyler McMahon placed the microphone on the mat for the second time that night. She then got out of the ring and walked down the steal steps. Elizabeth left Elizabeth Zyler McMahon in that ring, vowing to never be her again. And as Elizabeth made her way up the ramp, she stopped when she got to the very top. And yet, she turned around. She looked at the torn family in that ring, glad she wasn't one of them. Her blue eyes grazed the crowed and then once again they fell onto the Rainbow Haired Warrior. She gave him a small smile while shaking her head. She shrugged her shoulders at him and then turned back around. She walked backstage.

The camera's followed Elizabeth to her office as she opened the door. The room looked empty without her stuff put up on the walls and on the desk. She walked to the desk and picked up the box of her stuff that was placed on it. She carried the paper box out the room and then started on her silent journey to the parking lot.

She flinched as she felt a rain drop fall on her from the sky. It was raining, but she didn't mind it. As she walked to her rental, she opened the trunk and placed her box inside. Once the trunk was closed she opened the driver's door. Before she got in she looked directly at the camera. She pushed her hair back before blowing a kiss. She looked down and got into the car.

Elizabeth started the car, and pulled out of the parking space. She began to slowly drive out of the parking lot.

"Elizabeth! Elizabeth!" someone had run out of the building. "Z!" the person, a man stopped.

Elizabeth turned the corner in her car, she had heard him, but she had decided that she wasn't going to look back. But a small smiled formed on her lips. He wanted her to stay.

Jeff Hardy stood there and watched as Elizabeth's car went out of site.

"I love you." Jeff whispered breathlessly as the rain poured on him. He was too late and he knew he may never see her again.

A/n: OMG! The end of this chap is so sad. I can't believe I ended it like that. One more Chapter to go. Originally with this story when I had posted it last time I wanted to do a sequel. But with this story, I didn't want to. But now that I know its ending I want to do one. But, nope…this story doesn't have a sequel. Well, I may write one for my own enjoyment and just not post it…I dunno, hmm. Oh and if you're confused why Shane and Stephanie are on Vince's side it's because he's their father, he raised them from birth and just because they've known Z for two months doesn't mean that they will come to her side just because he decided to die and come back as if he was Dixie on All My Children. If you're confused and have any questions let me know via Review, that way I can clear them up for ya. - Tiff.
