BRANDON
Later that night
"So I leave after the 'beatdown' ?" I asked Vince McMahon.
"Yeah, because your interview is tomorrow, you can leave early to catch your flight." He replied.
I turned to the monitor and watched the 'gravy bowl' match between Stacy Keibler and Trish Stratus. The end of the match saw Nicole come out with a 2x4 and break it over Stacy's back, costing her the match.
Nicole and Stacy came backstage together laughing up a storm at what they just did, and at the same time William Regal came in and went out to the ring and called out Stone Cold Steve Austin and myself.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Austin and Ice came out to confront Regal, Ice called him an asskisser, then Austin went on a "What?" spree. Regal then threatened to give both men a "thrashing" but Austin stunned Regal and both men started stomping on him, until Test, Christian and The Dudleys attacked. The Dudleys gave Austin the Dudley Death Drop, and Christian threw Ice into Test's boot. The five men the left the ring laughing at the two men laying in the ring.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I immediately came backstage and went to my dressing room, and started packing. I got in the shower and cleaned off. I re-dressed wearing a pair of blue jeans and a white t-shirt, and had my black hair in a ponytail. I was attempting to leave the arena when I ran into Amy.
"Hey Aims" I said.
"I am proud of you Brandon, I heard what you said on Howard Stern about infidelity, that is awesome." Amy said as she looked straight into my eyes.
"Thanks Amy, I truly love Melissa, I just hope I can salvage out relationship.."
I was unexpectedly cut off when Amy kissed me on the lips, I immediately broke the kiss.
"What the HELL are you doing? You know I have a girlfriend." I shoved her off and made my way to the exit, I got outside when I ran into Nicole.
"Hey Brandon, what's up?" Nicole said.
"Amy just kissed me." I said
"What? Are you serious?" Nicole replied.
"Yeah, I'm serious" I said.
"It seems like both of us are having relationship problems. Are you going to tell Melissa?" Nicole asked.
"Yeah, I'll do it tomorrow." I said as I got a ride from Billy Kidman and Torrie Wilson, who were leaving the arena.
The Next Morning...
I arrived in L.A. at 3:00 am, and immediately made reservations at L.A.'s fanciest hotel, the Chateau Maramont. I made my way to the Sunset Strip, where the Chateau was, and went to sleep, I had a busy day tomorrow.

NICOLE
Early the next morning. Abaco Island, The Bahamas
"I can't believe you and Jeff left each other without settling anything." Trish Stratus said as we got ready for our early morning photo shoot.
"Trish, I might take you more seriously, if you were fully clothed." I said.
The only thing Trish was wearing was a bikini bottom.
"Girl, you are one to talk, look what you are wearing." Trish said, I had a yellow latex tube top and hot pants on. We started laughing as Trish put on her top.
We looked out of our dressing tent at Amy. "I'll be right back." I said as I approached Amy.
"Amy, Brandon told me what happened with the two of you last night? Why did you do it?" I asked.
"I don't know why I did it, but I cannot deny how I feel about him." I looked at her stunned as she said that.
"Are you in love with him?" I asked.
"Amy looked at me and said "Yeah, I think so."
Jackie, Lisa Moretti, Nora Greenwald and Stacy Keibler came up to us. "A bunch of us are going to the site where Aaliyah's plane crashed, wanna come?" Stacy said, I noticed Jackie had some roses.
"Yeah, sure." I said as we walked to the airstrip.
Jackie laid the roses at the crash site, and then said a silent prayer.
"So sad, she was so young." Nora said.
"She was my age...and I was a huge fan." Stacy said, wiping away a tear.
"What are we looking at?" Amy asked as she and Trish joined us.
"The place where Aaliyah's plane crashed back in August." I replied.
"I hate to break this up, but we gotta get back to the shoot." Amy said after we had a moment of silence.
The rest of us walked back to the beach. "Jeff?" I said, stunned.
Jeff Hardy was talking to one of the directors of the photo shoot.
He walked up to me and said "Nicole, we need to talk." We walked to the dressing tent.
"Nicole, I've been thinking a lot about us lately." Jeff said.
"About what?"
"About us."
"What do you mean?" I asked
"With everything that has happened between us lately, I don't think it is going to work." Jeff said.
"What's not going to work? Are you breaking up with me?" I yelled.
"I'm sorry Nicole." Jeff said as he left the tent. I started to cry as Andrea came in.
"What's wrong?" Andrea asked.
"Jeff and I split up." I said.
"It's going to be all right, don't worry." Andrea said, as we walked out of the tent.
I managed to get
through the shoot, but I was heartbroken, I had lost the man that
I loved.
