The Middle
Amy Dumas sighed as she walked dejectedly into her hotel room, tossing her gym bag next to the door and flopping down onto her bed. She just had one of the worst days ever. It was bad enough she was away from her best friends, but now the whole ECW roster hated her. Just thinking of it made her heart sink into her stomach. 'I wish Matt were here.' she thought to herself. Recently she and Matt Hardy had been getting closer and closer. She was with him as much as possibly without making it obviously she was crazy about him, though she suspected Matt's brother, Jeff already knew.
Just then the phone rang. Amy reached over and lifted it of the receiver. "Amy" she answered tiredly. "Hey, how was your first day?" Matt asked and Amy smiled happily. "Matt. I'm so glad you called. It was terrible, everyone hates me." she replied. "Hates you? What? Who could hate my Amy?" he asked. "ECW. The guys hate me because I can do moves that they can't. But it's just because they're big and muscular and can't move like me and there's tons of moves they can do that I can't. And the girls hate me because they think I think I'm better than them but I don't and I told them that but they didn't believe me. I wanna come home Matt, I hate it here. " Amy said in a rush, almost in tears. "Oh Ames, don't cry. It'll be all right. They just need to get to know you like I know you, then they'll love you." he said. "I don't think they want to get to know me." she replied. "Sure they do. Just keep being you, they won't be able to help but Love you. " he said making her smile. "Thanks Matt. Thanks a lot." she said. "Anytime Ames. I'll let you go get your rest." he replied. "Yeah, I'll need it. Thanks again for cheerin' me up... I love you Matt." she said, though it really just slipped out. "I love you too Amy." he replied without hesitation. and she could hear the smile in his voice. "Night" he added and they hung up.
FOUR DAYS LATER
Amy again walked into her hotel room, sighing. Another day like the last, but she just kept replaying what Matt had said and although it made her miss him more, it helped her through the day. She had met up with Tajirri who she met down in Mexico and they had a match and got lunch afterwards so things were improving some.
Dropping her bag off next to the door, she noticed a FedEx package on her bed. Opening it a tape fell out that was labeled 'PLAY ME'. She giggled a little and put the tape in her cassette player.
'Hey Amy" Matt's soothing voice greeted her first and she smiled. "Well, I just wanted to say we've all been thinking of you and we all miss you." he paused and Amy heard someone push him aside. "Yeah, and we heard their bein' jerks to you so if you want us to- Hey let go Matt" Amy laughed when she heard Jeff come on the tape. "ANYWAY...If you two are finished fighting I was wondering if maybe I could say something?" Shannon Moore was the next one to speak. "We miss you Amy, It's really not the same without you so hurry up and wow them with your moves so you can come back and be in WCW with me." he said "Geez pressure the poor girl, besides, she's coming to WWF with us." Jeff came back on. "No, she's coming to WCW with US." Gregory Helms said.
"Knock it off you two." Matt was back. "I think what we're TRYING to say is; We miss you and love you lots and don't let them get you down because your so much better than them." Matt finished and there was a pause. "Wow Matt, that was really corny. Hey Amy, do I feel a song coming on?" Jeff asked and sure enough. . .
Hey, don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head
You feel left out or
Looked down on
Just try your best
Try everything you can
And don't you worry
What they tell themselves
When you're away
It just takes some time
Little girl you're in the middle
It'll up the ride
Everything will be just fine
Everything will be all right
Hey, you know
They're all the same
You know you're doing
Better on your own
So don't buy in
Live right now
Yeah, just be yourself
It doesn't matter
If it's good enough
For someone else
It just takes some time
Little girl you're in
The middle of the ride
Everything will be just fine
Everything will be all right
It just takes some time
Little girl you're in
The middle of the ride
Everything will be just fine
Everything will be all right
Hey, don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head
You feel left out or
Looked down on
Just do your best
Do everything you can
And don't you worry
What the bitter hearts
Are gonna say
It just takes some time
Little girl you're in
The middle of the ride
Everything will be just fine
Everything will be all right
It just takes some time
Little girl you're in
The middle of the ride
Everything will be just fine
Everything will be all right
"Huh, guess I did feel a song coming on . . ." Jeff said humorously. We'll talk to you later Ames." Matt added and then their was a mixture of Matt, Jeff, Shannon and Greg saying 'Bye, miss you, and see you soon' before the tape ended.
"Oh guys," Amy said wiping a tear from her eye as she shook her head, smiling. "I have the best friends." She said to herself and from then on she did her best and didn't care what people thought of her. So thanks to her friends support and love, she went on to prove herself at ECW and by the time she was offered a WWF contract, she had won the respect and admiration of ECW staff, owners and superstars. Proving that no matter what anyone thinks of you, your ideas, or your way of living, you should always follow your dreams.
