II: "If You Want To Make Peace, You Don't Talk To Your Friends. You Talk To Your Enemies."

I'd be lying if I said a part of me didn't think that Edge retiring was shocking. I mean, the man helped to make most of my career before my stint in TNA hell. He attacked me so badly once that I almost lost my life and showed no remorse about it. If it hadn't of been for Jeff, I would have died. But...but why do I feel like shit right now? That speech was sooo touching...wait, what the hell am I saying! Adam Copeland is a bastard! He's hurt Matt who sure as hell didn't deserve it, he's hurt me and I sure as hell didn't deserve it, and he's part of the reason that Jeff and Matt will never have the same strong relationship that they ever had. But if he's such a bastard...why did I cry when I heard he was leaving?

Maybe it was the fact that it seems like all my old friends are leaving. Jeff left and when he did I blindly followed him. Soon after he quit, Gregory Helms was fired and then Shannon Moore. Then it was Matt who was fired. We all ended up on TNA together. That's when things went bad. Jeff cheated on me with Beth and I found out. I left, though I'm still friends with the other members of the Carolina Crew. Matt especially, we grew close together when he helped me through the process of getting rid of Jeff and moving out of the house. But that's not whats important right now. What's important right now is that I'm standing with Hunter and Vince as they talk about the changes to the World Heavyweight Championship match at Extreme Rules. That's what matters to them, being in charge and being good business men. Dad's turning into a suit. If Shawn could see what he was becoming...well...it certainly isn't something that's becoming of a Degeneration X member. I look up to see Edge standing by the production trucks, looking at me with a smirk on his face. He gestures for me to come on over and I dismiss myself from the conversation between dad and Grandpa to go over there.

"Helmsly," he smirks.

"Copeland," I nod in reply.

"Guess you're glad I'm gone, huh? Don't have to worry about if I'm still bitter over Matt and Jeff." Adam replies, leaning against the truck.

"Actually..." I bite my lip to keep my confession in.

"Look, I'm gonna come clean about something. You know the real reason I kept attacking Jeff? It's because of you."

I look at him shocked, "Excuse me?"

"I attacked Jeff because I wanted to get close to you," Adam replies, getting closer to me. He's got that typical look on his face, the look that reads coldness and yet that slight undertone of sexual frustrations.

"Woah, back off Romeo, you're with my best friend!" I say as he turns the tables so I'm pinned between him and the production truck, one of his hands on either side of my head.

"You think she doesn't know? I tell Zar everything. She gave me permission to show you how I've always felt about you," Adam breaths. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't kinda turned on by this. I mean, currently I'm dating Jay Reso (known better to the WWE fans as Christian) who just so happens to not only be Adam's half brother but his best friend. This is cheating if there ever was an instance of cheating. But god...he's retiring and I owe him something, right? I mean, I didn't get him a present so giving myself as my present is the next best thing.

He leans forward, capturing my lips with his. "Ad...Addy..." I look back at where dad and grandpa are talking still. "not here okay? Do you have a hotel room or something else?"

"My limo," he grabs me by the hand and drags me into the parking lot, stealing glimpses back at me every now and then. When we get to his limo, he yanks open the door and shoves me inside.

"Hey watch it bub!" I shout at him.

"Bub? Does Jay have you watching the X-Men movies with him?" Adam laughs at me, as he sits in the limo.

I blush, "Maybe I like those movies."

He grabs me by the waist, sitting me on his lap. "Oh I bet you do. With Hugh Jackman in those hot shots." He pulls my face down, kissing me hotly. After a while, I reach down and take his shirt off as he does the same for me. He tears my black sports bra from me and looks at me. "Damn you're hotter than Lita..."

I blush, "You know it Adam. Still can't believe you didn't tell me about how you felt about me."

"Well I didn't," he says as he pushes me back onto the floor, pulling at my skirt and tossing it onto the seat. "I hated hearing how Hardy treated you Kai."

"Yeah, well, I hated how he treated me..." I breath airily as he gently takes off my underwear. As he does so, he pushes one finger into me and moves it fast and rough. "God...you live life just like you do in the ring." He pulls away from me, looking down at me. It's silent for a minute before I realize something. He's crying. Oh my god, Adam's crying. He turns his head away, sitting in the floor with his knees up. I sit up, grabbing my clothes and putting them back on. "Adam...I didn't mean that..."

"It's not you it's just...I..." he looks at me, the tears more prodominant now. "I didn't think this day would ever come. At least not while I was so young. I thought for certain that I would be able to fit a few more years in. And when I pictured myself about to do this with you...it would be something more romantic."

"Adam...you really do love me don't you?"

"I have for years. When I saw you back...I love Zara I really do. More than I think I've ever loved anyone but you...you've always been that one woman who was out of reach," Adam replies, putting his shirt back on.

"Zara really said you could have sex with me?" I ask, sitting next to him and laying my head on his shoulder.

"Yeah, Zara really said that. Guess she's going to hold it above my head and make love to someone like I dunno...Christian."

"Oh I don't know if I could let Christian make love to her," I laugh.

"Hey, you were about to fool around with me. It's only fair," Adam laughs.

There's another long silence and I finally break it, "Do you really have to go?"

"Yeah," Adam sighs, "I wish I didn't but I have to. This isn't like when Jeff left because he had it with how Vince treated the other superstars. I love how Vince run things. This is legitimately my health problems."

I frown, "Why do you all leave me?"

"What do you mean by you all?"

"First it was Jeffy, then it was Uncle Shawn, now it's you." I'm tearing up, I know it.

"Hey, look at it this way, you don't have me to oppose you anymore." he cracks a smiles laced with pain.

"I'll miss you Addy," I reply.

"Hey, cheer up. You still have Christian," Adam smiles, wiping my tears away. He kisses my cheek, "Call me sometime, we can get together. Friends?"

I nod, shaking his hand, "Adam Copeland, I think this could be the start of a beautiful friendship."

A/N: I wrote this for my friend because she's a big Edge fan. Edge is going to be missed by all of his WWE fans.
