"Over The Heartache"
Chapter One
"A Simple Move"
Candice was sitting in the locker room by herself, tonight was the draft and she was extremely nervous about her fate after tonight. Would she remain on RAW? Or would she have to leave everything behind and start over on a new brand?
She just didn't know what to think or expect, after a long moment the diva soon found herself drifting into a deep flashback of last year's draft.
One year before;
"Business just picked up for Smackdown! Jeff Hardy is now headed for Friday Nights!" exclaimed Jim Ross.
Candice was in utter shock when she saw that Jeff Hardy had been drafted over to Smackdown.
Mickie tried her best trying to snap her best friend back to reality. "Candi? Candice! Are you okay?"
One word only left Candice's mouth in a small whisper."No..."
"Don't worry, Jeff will be fine over on Smackdown."
"It's not that I'm worry about," replied Candice, pausing to collect her thoughts. "It's that I'm worried, what's gonna happen between the two of us...I really like him, and now he's leaving me."
"He's always gonna be with you Candi, not always physically but in your heart, and I know you two won't ever let something get between what you have."
"Mickie, that sounds cheesy! But I guess, I just hope for the best for him."
"Hey! At least I'm trying to help here, but Jeff is gonna do amazing on Smackdown as he was on RAW."
Candice sighed. "I hope so, well I'm gonna go and see Jeff, say goodbye and wish him luck."
The candy-coated diva suddenly snapped back to reality. Putting her head in hands, she tried so hard to avoid thinking about that day, but it seems to be unsuccessful. Candice soon continued to have flashbacks from that interesting day.
Candice went up and hugged Jeff tight. "Hey Jeff! So you've been drafted? Sucks doesn't it?"
Jeff sighed. "I know, it sucks because I'm gonna be away from you."
"Yeah, I'm gonna miss you like really bad."
The rainbow-haired warrior looked the other way, seeming to be distracted. "Uh huh..."
"You okay?" asked Candice,
"I'm fine, it's just I have to talk to you," Jeff answered.
Candice's face suddenly turned worried and concerned. "Well we're talking now aren't we, but what's wrong?"
"Let's go talk somewhere in private, I don't want everyone to hear what I have to say."
Jeff dragged Candice down the hallway into his locker room. Opening to door for Candice, she was wondering what was going on. Sitting down with Jeff, she didn't know what to expect from the extreme enigma himself.
Taking a big sigh, Jeff began to speak the diva.
"Look Candi, you know I really like you right?" questioned Jeff, looking down.
Candice suddenly became suspicious. "Of course, Jeff what's going on here? What's the point?"
The extreme enigma took in a deep breath. "You know what, never mind...It's not as important as it seemed."
He couldn't tell her what was really going on, it would break her heart into two and Jeff couldn't live with that at all.
A weird look swept the candy-coated diva's face as she was still looking at her boyfriend. "Uh okay? You sure you don't wanna tell me? I can handle it."
"Yeah, it's okay really," Jeff answered. "Well I'm gonna start packing, so see you later okay?"
Candice nodded and gave him a little smile and hug, while Jeff gave her a little kiss on her cheek. "Alright I'll talk to you later."
That was the last time Candice ever spoke to Jeff, one week after getting drafted to Smackdown. The legend thriller never thought about keeping contact with the candy-coated diva thus ending the relationship between the two. Leaving Candice in confusion and in a state of near depression, she didn't know why Jeff never spoke to her once after the draft, the only thing she got from him was a letter, given to her by her best friend, Mickie James.
He didn't have the courage to give it to me himself! What a jerk!
After reading it, the diva had completely broken down into tears, it was a breakup letter from Jeff. The letter told her, that since they were on different brands, it wouldn't work out between the two of them and they should end it and move on with their lives.
She couldn't believe it. Jeff broke up with her because they were on different brands? How could he break up with her just like that and not figure out she would feel about it? The only possible reason Candice could come up with was simple, it was that Jeff was a jerk and was just a coward when it came to relationships.
It was hard for Candice to forget about the rainbow-haired warrior just as quick, she really liked him and thought he liked her too, but she was dead wrong, so very wrong.

"CANDICE!!" Mickie screamed, trying to get her friend's attention.
"Huh? What?!?" exclaimed Candice, falling out of her chair in the process. "You couldn't find another way to get me to wake up??"
"Ha ha, I'm sorry Candi, but this way is much funnier," giggled Mickie, as she was helping her friend get up. "But what were you thinking about?"
"Um...It's not important at all," Candice replied. "But what's up Micks?"
"Oh nothing really, just came to see you and ask if you wanted to watch the show together? Who knows who is gonna get drafted?"
After an hour into the the draft, the two friends were totally bored of their heads. Nothing had really interested them, all the draft picks for RAW were crappy and they didn't care a whole lot about it.
Now it was time to pick the ninth draft pick and the match was Jeff Hardy representing the Smackdown brand against the legend killer, Randy Orton representing the red brand.
"I wonder who's gonna win this one?" asked the perky diva Mickie. "This should be interesting."
"I want Randy to win, I could care less about Jeff," scoffed Candice.
"Randy's okay, but look at Jeff," replied Mickie. "He's got the talent and the looks, he's got everything!"
Candice covered Mickie's mouth she couldn't stand her ex-boyfriend. "Mickie...just...shut...up. You know how I feel about him."
"Oh yeah of course, I'm sorry Candice, I totally didn't mean to bring him up, it just slipped," Mickie apologized.
"It's alright, I understand besides I'm over him now," Candice hesitated, as she knew she lied to one of her best friends.
The two divas continued to watch the match between the two superstars, as it ended with Jeff Hardy hitting the swantom bomb on the legend killer, Randy Orton. Meaning that since Jeff won.
Smackdown would get a new superstar, but the question is who was it?
Candice rolled her eyes, taking a sip out of her water bottle. "Oh that's great, the big jerk gets the win!"
Mickie was silent, all she could muttered was three little words. "Oh...my...god..."
Candice looked over at Mickie with a questionable look. "Hmm...?"
"Oh...my...god, look Candice!" Mickie exclaimed, as she pointed to the television screen. "You...you, been drafted!"
In utter disbelief, Candice started to choke on her water, spitting it out as well. "Huh?!? No! That can't be! That just can't be!!"
"You better believe it, now you gotta go out to the ring!" the bouncy diva shouted, pushing Candice out the door of the locker room.
Candice went out to everyone and saw Jeff in the ring, looking almost as surprised as she was. Giving Jeff a sinister look on her face, it seemed as sweet as can be, but behind it both Jeff and her knew it wasn't, it was a look of pure anger.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x
It wasn't so easy backstage, Candice shared emotional good bye and many tears with all of her friends she didn't want to leave them, it was hard for her. The diva walked out the door of the arena to head back to her hotel. Unfortunately for her, she ran into someone she did not want to see, not now and not ever.
"Oh hey Candi," Jeff greeted the now bitter diva.
Oh god! Why me!?! I have to ask why me?!? I have to face this jerk right here...ugh!
Candice just stood there, looking away from her ex-boyfriend. She didn't want to say anything, all she wanted to do was avoid him or kill him, whichever one was easier for her.
"What? Cat's got your tongue?" the enigma joked, as Candice rolled her eyes. "Well at least speak, you're making me feel awkward here."
"Fine...hello Jeffrey, happy now?" Candice replied harshly, clenching to her teeth as she spoke. "Now if you don't mind? I have to leave."
Before she was about to leave, Jeff grabbed her arm and turned her back around to face him. "Why are you acting like this?"
"What do you mean? This is how I always act," answered Candice, sarcastically as well as breaking loose from Jeff's grasp.
"No it isn't, I know you well enough to know you are still holding a grudge with me aren't you?"
"Wow you catch on quite fast these days don't you?" Candice smirked. "Well to be honest with you, yes I still am holding a grudge against you, for what you did to me."
"Should have expected that, can you at least forgive me? And let us try to be friends?"
Candice gave the rainbow-haired warrior an evil smile, getting in his face. "And the answer to that is no, there is nothing you can ever do to make me forgive you and make us friends ever again, so don't count on that anytime soon, you'll be wasting your time."
Not wanting to hear another word from Jeff Hardy, the diva turned around and started walking away from her ex, leaving him in dust.
She smiled to herself, happy with herself and what she had just done to Jeff.
"You know what, that felt so good, I've have should have done that a long time ago!"
