I know when he's been on your mind,
That distant look is in your eyes,
I thought with time you'd realize
It's over, over,
It's not the way I choose to live,
And something somewhere's got to give,
As sharing this relationship gets older, older,
You know I'd fight for you
But how I can fight someone who isn't even there?
I've had the rest of you now I want the best of you,
I don't care if that's not fair,

"I can't believe you did this again, Broke my heart and then beg for forgiveness. It's too late now Essa, You should have thought about it before you cheated. I should be used to it though, What's it now Five times? And everyone asks why I continue to forgive you, Not anymore Essa, I'm through" Amy Screamed her voice choked with Tears as she confronted Essa.

"Amy you don't understand" He pleaded only angering her more.

"No, Essa you don't understand, I did love you." She screamed walked towards the door with her suitcase in hand.

"No" He yelled back grabbing her arm and pulling her down to the ground.

"Let me go Essa, I can't forgive you this time" She struggled against his weight.

"You're not going to walk out of my life" He said putting his hand around her neck tightening his grip as she struggled.

"Let me go" Giving all her strength as she kicked in fright.

"You're staying here" Essa said again more forceful tightening his grip again.

Amy panicked feeling the air escape from her lungs. "Essa please." Amy flinched in pain as Essa struck her hard on the side of her face knocking her unconscious.

Shaking out his hand Essa picked up his Suitcase and quickly left the Hotel Room before anyone came to question the noise.

Several Minutes later Amy awoke her right eye swollen shut and throbbing in pain, She cried out as she looked into the Mirror seeing the skin begin to fade into purple. She looked around the Hotel room only to find Essa was gone. Cursing in anger she grabbed her suitcase and left the room, Afraid of what would happen if Essa came back. Amy didn't notice the time on the Clock in the Hotel room as she knocked on Matt Hardy's locker room door. Covering her swollen eye with her hand, she smiled weakly as Matt opened the Door.

"What happened to you?" He asked with concern in his voice.

"Essa hit me," Her voice cracked with emotion.

"Oh God Ames" Matt said as he slowly lifted her hand off her eye. "How long ago did this happen" He asked his protective side beginning to show.

"Matt I don't know I was out for a while, When I woke up he was gone," Amy cried pulling herself close to Matt for comfort.

"It's ok Ames, I won't let him near you again." Matt said pulling her close feeling her heartbeat steady out.

Something about Matt brought comfort to Amy in a Matter of Moments.

Releasing her Matt took her hand and lead her to the Bathroom, Giving her Tylenol for her head, Matt watched with a Concerned look as her eye started to swell shut.

"Ames I think you should get to sleep" Matt said looking at her as she struggle to stay awake.

"Maybe you're right Mattie" She replied stepping again into his embrace.

"Come on." Matt said walking Amy's limp body to the Bed. He undid the Sheets and laid Amy down kissing her Cheek. "Good night Ames."

She mumbled a reply too soft to hear, Matt crawled into the other side of the Bed and shut off the light. He listened as Amy's breath evened out and he too soon met the comfort of sleep.

Cause I want it all,
Or nothing at all,
There's no where left to fall
When you reach the bottom it's now or never,
Is it all, or are we just friends?
Is this how it ends?
With a simple telephone call,
You leave me here, with nothing at all,

Matt awoke early the next morning to someone pounding on his Hotel Door. Getting quickly out of Bed he walked over to the door Opening it slowly he was met by Essa.

"What do you want?" Matt said his voice filled with Anger.

"Where's Amy" Essa said his breathe covered with the scent of Alcohol.

"She's asleep why should you even care?" Matt said taking a Step outside the Hotel.

"Because she's my Girlfriend" Essa said more assertive.

"Not after the way you treated her Last night." Matt said grabbing the door handle.

"Look Hardy, I want to talk to My Girlfriend, and It's none of your Business what happened Last night." Essa answered back filling his voice with Anger.

"It is my Business when she comes to my Hotel Room at Two in the Morning with her Eye swollen telling me that You hit her" Matt answered back growing more upset by the passing second.

"You want to be the Knight in shining Armor? You want to be the Hero? You tell her that its over. If she wants to spend all her time with you, That's fine, Girls like her are a Dime a Dozen, I was just wasting my time." Essa said pushing Matt into the Doorframe.

"Dime a Dozen. Is that right?" Matt screamed throwing a Closed fist at Essa.

Essa ducked and hit Matt back with a Hard uppercut to his Jaw.

Falling Back Matt cursed in Pain clutching his Jaw. Stabilizing himself he got back onto his Feet, Only to find Essa gone.

"Sorry Bastard" Matt said under his breathe walking back into the Hotel Room.

Amy sat awake on the Corner of the Bed, Her eyes filled with tears, She obviously heard everything Essa had said.

"Ames don't you ever believe anything he says" Matt said rushing over to Amy's side. Amy's hand drifted down Matt's cheek. He flinched in pain with the Slightest touch.

"Thank you" She Mummer

"For what Ames" Matt asked keeping his mind off the growing pain in his Jaw.

"Standing up for me. Making me feel like I was worth something" Amy said holding back more tears.

"Ames I would do it any day" Matt said smiling taking her hand, "Promise me you will never listen to him" Matt replied

"I won't" Amy reassured him.

"How are you doing this Morning" He asked in concern seeing the Color her eye had become.

"I'm much better now." She assured, "Matt you should really put ice on your Jaw" She replied looking with care at his swelling Jaw.

"I will Ames" He said stumbling into the Bathroom, turning on the water for the Shower.

His jaw was sensitive, throbbing as the water hit it. His head spun with kept secrets. The way he felt about Amy was the only thing he could think about. The water brought him back to reality clearing his mind of her.

Focusing his mind on Essa and how he will make him pay, For what he did to Amy.

"He has to pay for it" Matt said out loud turning the shower off.

Stepping out into the warm air of the Bathroom he quickly changed and combed his Hair remembering they were to be at The arena for Raw at Twelve thirty.

Matt walked out of the Bathroom wearing a Pair of Khaki Shorts and his Operation DX T-shirt. Surprised to see Amy already dressed sitting on the bed waiting for him.

"Jeff, went to breakfast with Adam and Jay" She said looking into his eyes.

"All right" he confirmed, still in awe of the pure beauty Amy possessed clad in Blue Cargo Pants and a Yellow Tank Top she was still the most beautiful thing Matt had ever seen. " You ready to leave for the Arena?" Matt asked grabbing his keys.

"Yeppers," Amy replied a smile coming to her face as she and Matt walked out of the Hotel Room and To his Rental Car.

Their ride was filled with a Silence too peaceful to Break. "Matt, I just want to tell you, Thank you for everything you have done for me" Amy said again her voice filled with Emotion.

"Ames I already told you there is no need to thank me, I would do it in the Drop of a Dime any day," Matt said looking over to her as he parked the car.

She quickly kissed his forehead.

"What was that for?" Matt asked confused.

"For everything Matt" Amy said getting out of the Car and grabbing her Gym Bag before heading with Matt toward the Arena.

She was walking very close to him. Closer then usual their thighs touched as they walked. But neither one made any such attempt to move. Smiling at this fact Amy walked into through the Door of the Arena, the Cold air hit her with a calming affect. She and Matt walked down the Hallway stopping at in the Reception Arena. Sitting at the table in the very back of the Room Matt sat memorized by Amy's eyes.

There are times it seems to me,
I'm sharing you with memories,
I feel it in my heart
But I don't show it show it, show it,
And then there's times you look at me,
As though I'm all that you can see,
Those times I don't believe it's right
I know, know it,

They were to wait for Vince to come and speak with them about forming a new group. Vince walked into the Reception Area and walked sternly to the table Matt and Amy were sited it. Looking at Amy's eye and Matt's Jaw.

"Rough Night" He said with sarcasm in his voice.

"You could say that" Amy replied smiling at Matt as she felt his Knee drop down next to hers.

"Well, I wanted to talk to you about tonight, As you know Matt you have a Match with Essa and Amy you will be in Essa's corner."

Amy cringed at hearing that she never wanted to be within Five Feet of him again.

"Matt you will win this Match. Amy will Interfere and Cost Essa the Match. When the Match is over Essa will be angry and Try to Attack Amy."

He confirmed looking at the Concerned look on Matt's Face.

"You will rush into the ring and Save her, Carry her up the Ramp and Hold her tightly at the top of the Ramp as if Comforting her from Essa's wrath." Vince finished seeing Amy smile.

"You guys all right with that" He asked.

"Oh yes" Amy answered smiling more, Not at the Match, At the way Matt was running his Hand over her leg.

"Matt you're in understanding of what will happen tonight right?" Vince asked noticing the Far away look on Matt's face.

"Yes, Mr. Mcmahon I understand and I couldn't be any happier." He replied.

"Good then, I already spoke to Essa about it, He seemed quiet Happy to." Vince confirmed seeing the Smile on Amy's face disappear. "Oh and Amy, see if someone in Make up will be able to cover your Black Eye." Vince said with his back turned to them leaving the room.

"Matt I can't go near him, Not after what he did to me, What he did to you." Amy explained in fear.

"Sshh.. It's all right Ames, I will have my eye on him." Matt replied putting his arm around her shoulder to comfort her.

Just then Essa walked into the reception clutching tightly an empty bottle, Cringing at the sight of him, Amy buried her face into Matt's shoulder.

"Hey look it's the Two lovebirds" Essa screamed walking over to them. "Matt the big hero, who always wants to get in my Business." He spat as he leaned over the Table looking coldly at Amy. "And last but not least Matt's precious little angel Amy. You know what Amy go ahead hide your face, It's painful to look at you anyway." Essa laughed pounding his fists on the Table.

"Essa if you want to live to see tonight, I suggest you get back to your little Locker room." Matt replied.

"No no no, I'm not leaving with no Valet" Essa said grabbing Amy by the arm and pulling her towards him.

"Essa no" Amy screamed trying to free herself. Matt stood up and stepped towards Essa.

"No Hardy, You go back with your Little brother, and I will take my Valet and go to Our Locker room."

Tightening his grip around Amy's arm he pulled her out of the Reception Room, leaving Matt fuming with Anger.

Matt paced circles around the locker room he shared with Jeff, His mind racing about Amy, was she all right, What had Essa done to her.

" Yo Matt, You mind stopping you're making me dizzy" Jeff joked watching in disappointment when his brother didn't smile.

"What is he doing to her Jeff?" Matt asked hopping Jeff would know the answer.

"Matt, I wish I could tell you that I knew, but your guess is as good as mine" Jeff answered.

Matt sat on the Concrete floor trying to pull himself together. " You really like her don't you?" Jeff asked raising an eyebrow.

"More then you can ever believe" Matt confirmed.

Jeff smiled "Well then why don't you tell her?"

"I can't" Matt replied.

"Why not?" Jeff asked

"What would I tell her, Amy you know that I am your Friend, But you see I have been in love since I first saw you, and I still loved you even when you were going out with Essa. All I do is dream about you, Yea that will scare her away from me" Matt replied putting his head in his arms.

The door to the Locker room opened and a stage hand popped his head into the room "Matt you're on in 10 Minutes Get ready" He called shutting the door and walking away.

Matt stood up and groggily wet and combed his hair not really wanting to go out there. Too worried to see the pain on Amy's face. Jeff wished him Good Luck, Matt merely shook his head and walked out of the locker room staring into Space.

Don't me make me promises
Baby you never did know how to keep them well,
I've had the rest of you
Now I want the best of you,
It's time for show and tell

"Now or Never Hardy" He told himself as he heard Essa's music play over the Pa system in the Arena. Taking deep breathes to calm himself down Matt walked to the Curtain and loosened up before his Cue. With all his strength he pushed himself onto the Ramp, Scared to look at Amy. Running down the Ramp he slide into the Ring staring coldly at Essa. Essa gave Matt a Cocky smile and pulled Amy closer to him.

The Bell Ring and Matt flew at Essa with all his Rage getting the best of him. Pounding Essa's head into the Mat, He looked over to see a smile arise from Amy's face. Matt smiled back to her, before gasping for air as Essa kicked him in the Stomach.

Falling back he heard Amy's screams as Essa took to the Top Rope. Matt quickly rolled out of the way, trying to catch his breath before Essa got up. Clotheslining Essa down to the Mat with all his power Matt climbed quickly on the turnbuckle. Screaming at the top of his lungs he jumped off and landed on Essa's Throat.

The fans cheered as Matt stumbled forward leaning into the ropes to catch his breath. Looking down to Amy she nodded to him slightly. Matt turned around only to be hit by a Hard shot to his already Injured jaw. Gasping in pain Matt barley notice the fact Essa had climbed the Turnbuckle stumbling around Matt was knocked to the ground by the Flying Essa.

The fans Chanted for Matt to get up. His body jolt in pain as He felt Essa continue to stomp at his Ribs. Picking Matt up Essa dropped him with a Neck breaker and climbed the top rope waiting for him to stand. Wearily Matt stood being met with a Hurricanrana. The fans boo'd as Essa taunted them, not noticing that Amy climbed the top rope and perched.

Essa turned around and Amy jumped onto his shoulders knocking him down with all her strength. She quickly rolled out of the ring. Matt got to his Feet and pinned Essa for the Three Count.

The fans cheered as the Referee raised Matt's hand in Victory. Smiling Matt climbed out of the ring and started up the Ramp. Amy crawled into the ring and bent down next to Essa pleading with him that it was an Accident. Essa grabbed her by the throat and forced her to the Ring mat. Hearing the Boo's of the Fans, Matt started back to the Ramp.

Seeing Essa standing over the helpless Amy filled him with a new found anger. He was almost able to see the pain deep into Amy's eyes as Essa struck her again. Knowing that is wasn't in the Script Matt slide into the Ring and Attacked Essa from behind knocking him out of the Ring hearing the thud as he fell to the Floor, Matt rushed to Amy, putting her head in his lap stroking her hair out of her face. Seeing the spot where Essa hit her Matt lightly kissed her cheek bone not caring who would see. He quickly slide her out of the Ring, and carried her like a Baby up the Ramp, all the time shouting anger filled words at Essa.

Once backstage Matt rushed Amy into his locker room laying her down on the couch. Kneeling down beside her Matt held her hand as she begin to stir. Smiling when she saw Matt's face she tried to sit up. Matt forced her back down.

"Relax Ames, he hit you again" Matt said trying to hide the emotion in his voice.

Amy nodded focusing her attention on the Monitor. Seeing Essa hunched over her made Amy hold Matt's hand tighter.

"He won't do it again Ames" Matt confirmed kissing her cheek.

Amy nodded kissing him.

"Ames, I love you" Matt spoke looking into her eyes.

" I love you too Matt" Amy confessed.

"Amy I promise you, you will never have to Face Essa again, He will never touch you" Matt replied.

"I know Matt, I know" Amy confirmed.

Cause you and I,
Could lose it all if you've got no more room,
No room, inside for me in your life,
Cause I want it all,
Or nothing at all,
There's no where left to fall,
It's now or never,

Song~ All or Nothing by O Town
