So... this started out as an experiment... and then I got carried away and made it a three shot. Let me start by saying that I know this is a teeny bit similar to my other story "One Sided Live", but trust me, it's not going to be exactly the same. Oh, and I'm still going to be posting for "Teach Me How To Love" so don't worry. Let me know what you think of this!

Jeff watched Beth leave the room, slamming the door so hard that it swung back open on the rebound. Running a hand through his multi-colored hair, the the Charismatic Enigma let out a frustrated sigh. She hadn't taken the news about his TNA return as well as he had hoped she would. He knew that she was ecstatic when she found out that he was not going to renew his contract with the WWE after begging him to spend more time with him and work on their already shaky relationship, but after being home for a few months, he had become stir crazy. So when Dixie offered him a negotiation on returning, he jumped headfirst at the opportunity. He knew that his girlfriend would not be happy, but a small part of him hoped she would understand. He ate, slept, and breathed wrestling. It was all he knew how to do and selfishly, he was not willing to give it up. Not even for the love of his life. And now she was gone with no hint of ever returning. Jeff knew he had once again fucked up with Beth, but he would have to put off making it up to her until after he got the ball rolling on his return.

Grabbing a few jars of "Manic Panic" and hair bleach, he made his way to his bathroom for a much needed hot shower to think

Meanwhile, sitting on the porch, painting her toes a vibrant blue, Harley watched as Beth threw her things into the car and rolled he eyes. She chucked it up that Jeff had broken the news that he was going back to TNA and the brunette had not taken it well. It was just like Jeff to promise one thing and do the complete opposite just like the douchebag he was. Although Harley didn't care for Beth at all, a part of her felt bad. All she wanted was for Jeff to be around more and spend some time with her, but being a selfish prick, he was one again only thinking of himself. Serves her right. Harley thought she was only wasting her time one someone who obviously only cared about himself. Rolling her eyes at the brunette making a show of leaving, she picked up the glass of iced tea and took a hearty gulp. She had to bite back a laugh when she noticed that Beth was in the car finally with the engine running but had not moved. What, was she waiting on him to run out and beg her to stay? The bitch was dumber than she thought. The last shred of respect Harley had for her dissolved as she watched her finally back out of Matt's driveway and take off

"Later Beth" she laughed to herself.

She didn't understand why Beth stayed as long as she had. She had definitely outlasted all of the other skanks Jeff brought home on the regular basis and Harley gave credit where credit was due, but like the rest of them, she had left him high and dry. She didn't know why women flocked to Jeff in the first place. He was a weirdo. He was a selfish, self-righteous asshole who thinks he knows every damn thing, and he didn't care about how his actions reflected on the people around him. The most important person being his brother, Matt. Matt, who was his baby brother's savior. The one who cleaned up every mess Jeff made. Whether it be drugs, money, or burning his house to the ground, Matt was always there to pick up the pieces of his brother's fucked up life and pull him out out of the shithole he had managed to fall into. And she loved him for it, but not in the sense of being in love with him. In a big brother sort of way. He had taken her in after her drunken mother had put her out and she owed Matt for everything she had.

That didn't mean that she had to accept his fuck up of a brother. She and Jeff butted head from the moment they met and have been fighting like cats and dogs ever since. She couldn't stand him with a passion and everything she did pissed him off and she lived to get a rise out of him. In a way, it was her way of paying him back for the years of bullshit he put Matt through and this weekend would be no exception. Matt would be leaving to go back on the road, leaving her under Jeff's care and she was prepared to annoy him to no end.

Matt appeared on the porch, his bags in hand "Beth left huh?"

"Yup, about ten minutes ago. You should have seen her sitting in the driveway, waiting on Jeff to stop her from leaving. It was fucking pathetic"

"Language." Matt chastised, "I knew she wouldn't take it well. If Jeff thought he was going to break the news that he was leaving and she was going to turn cartwheels, he's fucking retarded"

"Language" Harley retorted "You all packed?" she asked, trying to hide the frown forming on her face. The thought of being stuck with Jeff for a week was making her nauseous. Sure she could tolerate him when Matt was around to stop them from ripping each other to shreds, but Matt was leaving and there would be no one around to play referee.

"Cheer up kid. I'll be back before you can miss me." He told her

She helped him load his things into the car and she couldn't help but sigh "That's just long enough for me to murder your shithead brother. Why can't I come with you? Seriously, I won't cause any trouble this time" she begged

"And have you harassing my co-workers? Not a chance Harley Quinn" he chucked, calling her by her nickname

"I'll stay at the hotel. You won't even know I'm there!"

She couldn't stay with Jeff. She would rather be cooped up in a hotel room all week than being stuck in the house with a man she despised even if he was Matt's brother.

"Sorry kid. Not this time" he told her, hating the way her shoulder slumped in defeat "You can survive without me"

"Not with him" she snorted, motioning towards the house

"I don't know if you've noticed, but Jeff kind of hates me and I'm not to fond of him either"

"Jeff does not hate you. He just... strongly disapprove of you being around him." he explained as best as he could.

Matt reached into his pocket and dug out a wad of cash and placed it in her hand

She looked at it incredulously a protest forming on her lips "Matt-"

"It's for food. The rest is for you. My way of making it up to you for leaving you with Jeff"

"You should know by now that I can't be bought Mr. Hardy. And handing me money won't make be think twice about killing Jeff in his sleep if he pisses me off this weekend"

"Stay out of his way and he'll do the same." He told her as he made his way up the stairs.

Jeff watched as swirls of hair dye went down the drain, deep in thought, which was interrupted by a loud banging on the bathroom door

"What?" he yelled over the water.

"I'm leaving!" Matt called

Jeff shut off the water and stepped out of the shower, knotting a towel around his waist before opening the bathroom door

Matt took in the sight of his brother's freshly bleached hair. The argument must have been worse than he thought. Jeff only dyed his hair when he wanted to cleanse his thoughts in a way and start over.

"I almost forgot what your real hair color looked like"

"You takin' her with you?" Jeff asked

Matt scratched his ear "Actually she's staying."

"With Shane?" he assumed

"No" was all the older Hardy said

"No. No, absolutely not Matt." he protested

"It's just for the week!" Matt assured him "She won't be any trouble"

Jeff scoffed in disgust. Harley was a magnet for trouble. The five-five blonde was like his own personal hell on earth

"She's a fucking demon, Matt"

"She's just a kid. Look I gave her cash and told her to stay out of your way."

The younger Hardy turned his green eyes heavenward. Harley was far from a "kid" as his brother do delicately put it. He saw the way men oogled her, how she could turn them into a blubbering mess with just a simple bat of her eyes. It was sick that a girl her age could break a man but she had learned from the best. She was indeed trailer park trash just like her whore of a mother

"Fine. Don't blame me when you come back and your house is destroyed"

"Do me a favor and don't let her leave the house on her own"

"Whatever" he replied. He knew that he had no power over Harley. His word meant nothing to her so if she wanted to leave, she would

"Seriously, if she wants to go somewhere go with her, I don't want her out on her own and-"

"Alright Matt, christ" Jeff sighed

"Good. I'll see you in a week." Matt told him, retreating back down the stairs, feeling triumphant. Usually he had to pay Jeff handsomely to keep an eye on Harley and was surprised when he agreed to do it without any demands

"Later kid. Stay out of trouble" he reminded her, pulling her into a hug

"Be safe" she told him as he released her. She followed him to the door and watched as he pulled off, waving. Jeff came padding down the stairs just as she shut the door, shirtless and wearing a pair of jeans, a pack of cigarettes in hand

"Ahh, the man of the hour. Finally told Beth that you were ditching her again?"

"Fuck off Harleen" he spat, heading out to the back patio

She followed him, leaning in the sliding glass door frame as he lit up, his back to her. She noticed that the dye had been stripped from his hair, leaving it blonde, his natural color. He looked normal for once and she had to admit that she preferred his hair that was. Not that she would ever tell him that

"Why not just break up with her and put her out of her misery if you're not going to be around?"

"Because I love her, not that you would know anything about that" he said easily, taking another drag from his cigarette as he began to pace.

She watched as he turned back and forth. He finished one and immediately lit up another

"You ever heard of loving someone so much you have to let them go?" she asked

"Why do you care? It's not like it matters to you anyway" he growled at her

"I never said I did. But I am the one who has to listen to her bitch and cry when you leave. It's quite pathetic when anyone can see that you don't give a shit about anyone but yourself"

He stopped pacing and in two strides, was nose to nose with her, his green eyes blazing

"You don't know anything about mine and Beth's relationship. Much less about a relationship at all" he said, blowing smoke in her face, but she didn't back down

"Oh trust me, I know enough. I know how you men work: Satisfied that you have a woman at home waiting on you hand and foot. Who'll give you anything and every piece of them, but it's still not enough. You have to have your cake and eat it too because you know that once you enjoy a slice or two and toss it in the trash, she'll already be there to bake you another one. You sicken me Jeffrey. You never realize that you fucked up until the last minute and that's when you want to fix shit"

"Sounds to me like you've been dealing with boys and not men Harleen" he smirked "Your problem is you need a real man"

"Let me know when you find one" she spat viciously, her blue eyes sparkling with amusement

Jeff returned her smirk "You wouldn't know what to do with a man anyway, little girl" he chucked, noting the way she seethed at him

"I've managed well enough" she retorted

"That you have. You've mastered the art of laying on your back, bravo" he applauded "You'll surpass your mother in no time"

Her small fist connected with his jaw before he could blink and his head snapped to the side. To be so small, she had the strength of any man and that particular act of violence hurt like hell, but he chucked, turning his head back to face her "You better thank your lucky stars that you're a girl because I have it in my right mind to knock you on your ass"

"Go to hell Nero" she muttered, turning on her heel and heading back into the house

Jeff took a long pull from his cigarette before putting it out with his shoe. This was going to be one hell of a week.

So? Yay or nay? Please let me know what you think!
