"You didn't have to come Carmi." Jeff Hardy said running his finger through his multi colored hair. "Yes, I did. You can barely take care of yourself and Shannon isn't really any help. How do you expect me not to be here to help take care of you?" Carmichael Helms shot back folding her arms under her chest and glaring at him. A glare that he returned. "I don't need a babysitter." "Yeah you do." The two long time friends glared at each other.
One not wanting to cave and admit the other was right and the other just wanted to help like she had done since she had known him. He sighed and folded his arms. "Fine, fine. You're right." A grin broke out on her face, "I know. If ya'll would just learn that I am always right the better off everything will be." Jeff rolled his eyes, he hated when she was right.
Over the last few years, their friendships had strengthened from one of necessity to something more stable and more concrete . Something he had wished that they had before. She had become a great help with everything that had gone in recent weeks. She was the fixer, the stand in girlfriend, the little sister, the rock. That is what she was good at, she never let anyone in on her issues, her depression anything. She wanted to be the caregiver and not to be taken care of. And he was okay with letting her do that.
"You know they will want you to hang around and join the company right?" He asked shoving his hands into his pockets "Yeah but I don't know if I want to do anything yet." She answered pushing her hair over her shoulder. "I mean if anything they would stick me with you and you wouldn't like me hanging around all the time." She said. "You don't know that."
"Yeah I do Jeff, before I got hurt and had to leave the company you didn't want me around. I was always Shane's kid sister that hung around and got in the way. At least that's how Matt told me you felt." "I really wish that you two weren't as close as you are." He muttered.
"I know, Reby wishes the same thing." She grinned at him causing him to shake his head before smirking at her. It was common knowledge that Reby had put a strain on Matt and Carmi's relationship mostly with her dislike of Carmi. Deep down they all thought that she was jealous of the relationship to the two had. She was the only one that could get through to Matt and talk him down after the whole Lita and Edge affair came out.
"Come on Helms. Let's go inside we can't leave Shannon in there alone." She laughed softly and nodded her head, "Let's go." She didn't want to go back to wrestling, there was too many bad memories that were associated with it. The only reason why she was back here was because of Jeff and Shannon. With Jeff's recent issues she wanted to be there for him just in case something happened.
Thats who she was. But maybe just maybe she would start wrestling again. Maybe.
