Adam woke me up at 11:30 in the morning. "Savannah, get up." "Leave me alone. Why are you getting me up so early?" "I'm going down to the gym and want you to come with me so we can talk." "Adam. You know i hate getting up early." "Please come with me." He looked at me with puppy dog eyes. I couldn't help but smile. "Ok, I'll go." I had to make sure that I didn't wake Jeff as i got out of bed. "You are gonna pay for this Adam Copeland!" He smiled as we left our hotel room.

"What did you wanna talk to me about?" "Savannah, I kinda overheard David and Jason talking this morning." "So. And your point would be?" "They were talk about you." "They always do. It doesn't bother me at all." "It does me. You're my only sister and I'd hate to see what I'd to them if they hurt you again." "Adam, just forget that they even exist. I don't wanna hear what they say about me anymore. Do you understand?" "Yes. Buh-Buh seriously likes you." "I know. But, the funny thing is, i kinda like him too." "Don't start that again." "What?" "You know what I'm talking about." We left the gym and headed to the arena. We had a long day ahead of us!

The first people Isaw when we walked in, was David and Jason. They watched my every move as i went in the arena. It was pretty scary actually. "Adam, I don't wanna be here." "Why?" "I don't know. All i know is that I have a bad feeling something bad's gonna happen." "Savannah, stop worrying. You'll be fine." "I hope so." We stopped and talked to Trish and Stacy before heading to out locker room. "Whats wrong?" "Adam, I just don't wanna be here. After what happened a couple of days ago, I don't wanna be near them." "I promise, they won't harm you. You feel better?" "Kinda." "Ok, now let's get ready to go out." "Whatvever you say captin." "Don't.." "Go, Adam!" "I'm going."

We walked out and edge did his normal routine and I just stood there and watched him. He held the ropes as i went outside the ring. We heard Gangrel's music start and wondered what was going on. He was supposed the fight Crash Holly. Gangrel xame in like a bat out of hell and started hitting Edge. All of a sudden Christian came down the ramp. "What the hell is he doing here?" I heard Edge say. We then found out what he was doing here!

After Gangrel won the match, He grabbed the mic and started talking. "Edge, Your sister loves me more than she'll ever admit to you. She was with me last night." I stood there looking at him as if he had lost his mind. "Here's how much I love her!" He grabbed me by the hair and kissed me. All I could o was try to get him off me. Adam tried to but Gangrel ddt'd him. I saw the lights go out and Undertaker come out and start pounding on Gangrel. Christian let go if me and I ran toward my brother. He looked as if he wasn't breathing.

"Somebody help!" A whole lot ofthe wrestlers came down to try to calm me down, but, It didn't work. Adam was taken to the hosptial while I was left to wonder why anyone would do this to him. I cried the whole way to the hotel. I didn't know what was wrong with him. Nobody called me to let me know a thing. The phone rang and I jumped to get it. "Hello?" "Is this Savannah Copeland?" "Yes." It was a doctor. "Your brother is ok. He just suffered a slight cucussion. We suggest that he stay out of the ring for a few days." "He will be, don't worry." I felt relieved that he'd be ok. Jeff and Mark were in the hotel room with me. "Is he ok?" "Mark, he'll be fine. He only suffered a slight cucussion." "Thank god." "MArk, I'm scared." "It'll be ok, Savannah. It'll be ok."

A couple of minutes later, Mark left Jeff and I alone in the room. "Are you gonna be ok?" "I'll be fine Jeff. I thought I lost him. I don't know what I would have done if i did." "You love him, don't you?" "Of course I do. He's my only brother. He's been there for me whenever I needed him." Jeff hugged me tighly as if he'd never let go. "I needed that." "It make you feel better." "A little. Why would they do that? It make no sense to me. Adam never meant them any harm. He was just being a typical brother." "Savannah, I wish i could tell you, but I can't. Just lay down and try to fall asleep." Little did we know, there was gonna be a huge shocker in the morning!
