Twist of Fate
PART SEVEN OF "ANGEL IN DISGUISE"
**Beth**
One of the things that comes with the term, "wrestler’s girlfriend" is that the girl has mad money and that stays at home & doesn't work. Um...that ain’t true. I don’t, never have and never will depend on a man for anything except love. I could never picture myself being a house wife or anything else of that nature. That shit just ain’t in me. Beth doesn’t like being bored. I refuse to sit home and wait for my man to come home. I mean, come on! You think Beth’s life revolves around my boyfriend? You think Beth’s life revolves around Jeff Hardy? Hell, no!
Jeff and me are two separate people. He has his life and I have mine. Like I said before, I am currently attending the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. You don’t get out of college by wasting time daydreaming about your boyfriend. I am working hard as hell to acquire a Master's Degree so that I can become vetinerian. I’ve always loved animals. It always hurt me when I was little that I couldn’t save my puppy from dying after she drunk spoiled milk on accident. Ever since that happened, all I’ve wanted was to be a vetinerian. Those are my future plans and like Jeff did with wrestling, I’ll turn my dream into reality.
I’m younger than Jeff so it’s gonna take me awhile to get out of college. The one thing that Jeff won’t let me do is slack off at school. He always makes me do my homework before we do anything together. I return the favor to him too. I make him go to the gym before he starts sleeping again. Also, I make him train with Shane, Matt, Shannon, Joey, Christian and Amy (if any of them are ever home.) So we both influence our careers in some way. We really push each other to succeed in our separate lives. That’s one of the strong parts of our relationship and one of the reasons why I just love that man.
**Amy**
Although it may seem that I have achieved all my goals by making it to the World Wrestling Federation, I still haven’t accomplished all my future plans. Hell, I’m only twenty-six years old, my wrestling career has only begun. It’s very hard to cement your spot in something that’s as huge as the wrestling business. You have to fight and put forth effort to get your spot because someone is always there and willing to take it away from you. At the same time, you have to be unique. You have to offer something to the fans that no one else can. Most of all, you have got to give it a hundred and forty percent every time you step in that squared circle. It’s not as easy as it looks, my friends.
One of the things I still want to do is compete in the Light Heavyweight Division on a permanent basis. I know I had that feud with Dean Malenko but I only competed for the belt twice. I am comfortable in the women’s ranks but I would really love wrestling men. I did it when I was with OMEGA a couple of times but not that often. I always took on Lexie Frye. I would just love to become the first female to hold the Light Heavyweight Championship. That’s something I’m working towards. I’m quite sure the fans of Lita don’t remember this since most of them start liking me when I got with the Hardy Boyz but me and Papi took on Kaientai once. It wasn’t hard at all so that’s one of my future goals after I hold the Women’s Championship a couple more times.
You know, after the tremendous success that Matt has had, people always ask me has he changed at all to me or is he the same Matt Hardy that I first met when I was twenty-three years old. Well, he is. He never makes me feel left out ever. If there’s ever a time when I’m feeling fucked up or a little down, he always picks me me right back up. That’s the type of man he is. He’s always in the back watching the monitor whenever he and Jeff don’t have to accompany me to the ring. He’s always the first one there waiting for me to come through the curtain to tell me "good job," give me a hug and make sure I didn’t get injured. He’s been like that ever since I got injured from the powerbomb from Eddie Guerrero when Lita was with Essa Rios. When that happened, he wasn’t watching backstage and when they told him that I took a bad bump, he never forgave himself. Now, he’s right there with a sweet smile on his face and I do the same after he’s done doing his thing. If you ever noticed, we always give each other a little eye contact during his matches and that gives him more inspiration to do his best and the same applies to me.
**Jessica**
People always ask me do I have to work since in these past couple of years, they assume that I haven’t had to work. Well, one thing about Chris, he don’t want me to work. He really wants me to try and start my own business. He don’t really want me to do anything. I don’t have a problem with that but I don’t sit home and do nothing. Chris just wants to wait on me hand & foot. He just wants to buy me everything in the world since I mean so much to him. That’s a very sweet and considerate thing of Chris. If that’s what he wants to do, then I’ll do it. I can go to work anytime and be an accountant since that’s what I majored in college but Chris just wants me to be comfortable and not worry about that. I don’t mind.
I am very much involved in his career though. I’m sort of like his manager...not like a wrestling manager or valet. It’s nothing like that. I keep his schedule but I don’t set up travel. I travel with him but not as much as a personal assistant would. Sometimes, I have to take care of so much of his stuff because he can be a hard person to deal with sometimes. I’ll have to sit in meetings for him since I know what he wants. If he doesn’t want to bother with wrestling at all when he’s home, everybody calls me. They can’t talk to him because he’s too tired and just wants to be left alone. He don’t care what the call is about, he’s just too tired so I sort of have some kind of work. That’s another reason why he loves me, I let him be lazy.
I can tell you one of our future plans. We really want some babies. Chris really wants a son. I can’t tell you how much he tells me about that. He wants to have a son and teach him how to be a wrestler. That gets Chris so happy. He really wants to teach his own son how to wrestle and see him get to the WWF. That’s one of his dreams. We’re working on that one. I wouldn’t mind being a mother but one of the things that gets in the way is the fact that Chris is so busy. I don’t want my children to only see his father two days a week or sometimes not at all and Chris doesn’t want that either. Still, whenever he feels like he’s ready to become a father, I’ll try to be the best mother I can of his child. Yeah, that’s one of my future plans.
**Allanah**
As of this moment, I am in my last year at college. I am currently studying to become an elementary school teacher. I always wanted to be a star when I was little but I’ve always been the type to change my mind every other minute and I ended up with the idea of being a teacher. I think I’m gonna go with the second grade. I don’t have a particular reason for that grade, I just wanna do it. And being the sweet man that he is, Adam supports me all the way. He wants to see his "wifey" succeed just like he has. Teachers don’t get paid much but I would find a lot of pleasure in knowing that I contributed to a child’s education to a certain extent.
Adam really helps me out in college. He always helps me with my homework and whenever he’s home, he listens to how my day was. Sometimes, he has to pay off my college loans. (Man, I don’t know where I’d be if he hadn’t done that for me.) He takes me to school in his expensive cars just to show them off. He just really supports me a lot and college would be much harder for me if I didn’t have him by my side. He would say the same about me as far as his wrestling career is concerned. I think that’s one of the things that all the wrestler’s girlfriends can agree on. Well...at least, me, Denise and Jessica do agree that Adam, Jason and Chris support our careers and individual goals just like we support their wrestling careers.
It’s been pretty interesting dealing with Adam’s fame, success or whatever you call it. The reason for that is because Adam stays the same, he doesn’t change. He’s still the same man I cried my eyes out for whenever he took a bump at my uncle’s wrestling school. He’s still the same man that loves me no matter if I fall short of my expectations for myself. I’ve gotten involved with some many boys who I thought were men. Adam just came into my life and really saved my life. Without him, I don’t think I could even consider going after my future goals since his love & support gives me so much inspiration. I’d honestly be lost without that man.
**Denise**
Right now, I am a nurse at a hospital in Florida. I can see myself doing this for the rest of my life. That’s one of the things that Jason loves about me. About anywhere he goes, he gets noticed. Even when he used to go to the hospital but now, he can just stay home with me and I’ll take care of his battle scars. Jason has been asking me about going back to college and possibly becoming a doctor. He says I should do it since I’m such a "kick ass nurse." I appreciate his compliments and I don’t know, I might go back to college but the only reason I might not do it is because...it’s college! And that shit can be hard sometimes, I got through it the first time. I don’t know if I could do it a second time. Maybe...maybe not.
I know all of Jason’s future goals. Of course, there’s nothing he wants more than to be the World Wrestling Federation Champion. Like Stone Cold Steve Austin said "If you ain’t here to be the WWF Champion, you ain’t got no business being here." Jason says that all the time. He doesn’t mind being half of the WWF Tag Team Champions here and there but he’s definitely on his way. He’s already been the Light Heavyweight Champion so he’s had his fair share of WWF titles but that’s the one he wants the most. I’ll know he’ll get there since it’s hard enough to get to the WWF as it is and he did that.
You know, when you become engaged to a man, the thoughts of having children immediately crowd into your mind. Jason tells me he can’t wait to be a father. He always smiles at the thought of raising a boy. Still, we’re too young and he’s too busy for us to take becoming parents seriously but that’s one of the things that will probably happen whenever we get married. Everyone tells me that you have a bunch of sex on your honeymoon so I can’t really control what’s gonna happen to us in the future. Time is not on our side and tomorrow is never promised so you have to live each day as if it’s your last. Jason has given me much more appreciation for my life every time I see him.
