Chapter 26

Jamie looked at everyone that was sitting in the room with her and she shook her head. She knew they were all worried about the decision she had made to have that very risky surgery but she just couldn't see spending the rest of her life in a wheelchair. She smiled as she saw Tyler biting her lower lip, something she only did when she was intensely worried about something.

"Hey you guys, I have to do this." Jamie said with a small smile. "My career as a wrestler may be over but it doesn't mean that I can't walk again. I am not going to spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair." She said stubbornly. She looked over and saw Hunter watching her critically.

"What if something goes wrong on the table?" Tyler asked her as she sat on the end of the hospital bed.

"Then something goes wrong. I can't spend my life in a wheelchair, you know me. It would drive me completely insane to not be able to walk." Jamie said with a sigh.

"I don't think any of us can stand to lose you. You're our best friend Jamie." Tyler said with a shake of her head.

"You're not going to lose me. Tyler I love you, you're like a sister to me you know that. I just want to do what I think is best for me. You know you would do the same thing if you were in my position." Jamie said with a sigh.

"Yeah I would." Tyler admitted after a few moments of silence.

It had been a week since the incident at the arena. Every wrestler was on edge as they walked through the halls. Everyone was watching their backs and no one dared to say a word to Vince McMahon who was whistling as he walked through the halls. No one dared to tell him how they had all thought he had crossed the line but most of all no one dared to tell him of the wrestlers that were plotting to get even with him for what he had done to one of their own.

Alex and AJ watched everyone's faces carefully as they finalized the plan. No one had heard on exactly what Jamie's condition was yet, since she had just undergone major surgery, but it didn't matter. Now it was time to get even with the man responsible for ending their friends career. It was time for them to get even with the man responsible for making it impossible for their friend to ever compete in the ring again.

Tyler paced back and forth in the surgical waiting room, Jamie was still under the knife and no one knew what was going on. It was such a delicate surgery that it was taking hours just to go through it. Every once and a while a nurse would come out and let them know everything was going well and Jamie was holding her own but that's not what they wanted to know. They wanted to know that everything was over with and that she was going to be fine. Tyler looked over and saw Hunter staring at the doors that the nurse always came out of. He was pale and still shaking despite the fact that they had been told she was holding her own.

"Hey why don't you go and get something to eat. I'll stay and wait for some news. If there's any change or the doctor comes out I'll have them page you." Tyler said as she looked at Hunter and Edge.

"Not leaving." Hunter said simply as he shook his head and continued to stare at the door.

Tyler was about to argue with him but thought better of it. This was his wife that was undergoing drastic surgery, if Edge were in there she probably wouldn't leave either. She nodded slowly and then took a seat next to her husband.

The wrestlers were gearing up for the big revenge scene they were going to be doing. No one knew exactly what the plan was except for the people involved. Everyone knew something was going down and it was going to be big.

The doctor walked out of the operating room and glanced at everyone sitting there. He took a deep breath and then smiled at them all.

"The operation was as successful as we could have hoped. We found out something interesting when we went in there though." He said with a frown.

"What?" Hunter asked as he stood in front of the doctor, concern evident on his face.

"Her injuries weren't as extensive as we first thought. She wasn't going to be paralyzed." The doctor said with a sigh.

"Then why did the surgery take so long?" Tyler asked confused.

"She was allergic to the anesthesia. We almost lost her to anaphylactic shock but she's a fighter. We had to wait a while to do anything, till we knew she was stable." The doctor said as he saw the angry look on everyone's faces.

"Then why were we told repeatedly that nothing was wrong?" Hunter asked taking calming breaths. He really wanted to hit the guy standing in front of him.

"I don't know exactly what you were told but I can tell you that she is in recovery and she is all right. I can only send in immediate family so sir if you'd like to follow me I'll take you there." The doctor said with a slight nod.

"All right." Hunter nodded as he started to follow the doctor.

Tyler watched until they were out of sight before she looked at her husband with a confused look. She saw the same look was mirrored on his face as he was watching them walk down the hallway. Something was off about this entire situation.

"Something just doesn't sound right." Tyler whispered as she glanced back down the hallway.

"I agree. I think we need to find out exactly what the WWE has been up to. Is it possible Jamie knew her injuries weren't as severe as they were played out to be? Is it possible she was in on the scam?" Edge asked Tyler.

"Jamie wouldn't lie to me." Tyler said forcefully.

"She did once." Edge reminded her.

Tyler thought about that as she took a seat in the uncomfortable chair. She looked at her husband and shook her head. Something was definitely up but she didn't want to think that her friend had anything to do with it. Someone was playing another game, but exactly who was it, and what did they get out of Jamie having an unnecessary surgery?
