Fighting For Nothing

Summary: When Jeff was retired from WWE and went to TNA he took everything with him, except the most important thing. Can she win him back before she loses him forever?

Characters: Jeff/Maria, Christy/Alex, Madison/Shannon and others

Maria was lying down on her hotel room bed. She had woken up a few hours earlier. She sighed lazily as she threw the covers off of her and got out of bed. She walked into the bathroom and took a shower. She stepped out and dried off. She searched through her bag and pulled out a pair of turquoise skinny jeans, a black studded shoulder top, and she put on some black wild diva heels. Before she got ready to go check out she sat on the bed and picked up her phone. She dialed an all too familiar number. She waited and waited and finally they answered.

"Hey. This is Jeff."

"Jeff! Thank god you" Maria was cut off by the continuing…answering machine.

"Sorry I didn't get your call. Leave your name and number and I'll try and get back to ya." The voice continued. Maria sighed and hung up. Every time she did leave a message he never did get back to her. She gathered her bags and stuff and left the room. She went to checkout and then she left to the arena.

Backstage at WWE

Maria was in her locker room talking with some of the other divas. Or more like listening to them.

"So Melina, I hear me and you have a match tonight." Maryse said. Melina nodded.

"Yep and I can't wait to drag your ass all over that mat." Melina said playfully. Maryse and Melina laughed. There was a knock on the door and Robert, a backstage manager walked inside.

"Maria. Mr. McMahon would like to see you in his office." Robert announced. Maria nodded and stood up. She walked down the corridor to Mr. McMahon's office. On the way she passed Mickie. She was crying. Maria stopped and took Mickie by the arms concerned for her friend.

"Mickie what's wrong?" Maria said.

"Maria. Vince just fired me." She sobbed.

"What? Why? You're like one of the best divas he has to offer the WWE universe!" Maria exclaimed.

"He said that I wasn't good enough anymore. He said because I gained so much weight I wouldn't be able to wrestle as well anymore. He told me the WWE universe didn't want overweight and out of date eye candy. They wanted eye candy like Kelly and Melina and Maryse." She wailed. She yanked away from Maria and walked off crying to go get her things. Maria walked down the rest of the corridor to Vince's office. She knocked and waited.

"Come in." He said. Maria walked into his office and stood. "Please. Have a seat." He said. Maria sat.

"You wanted to see me sir?" She asked.

"Yes. Maria. The fans love you. You're great with people on the show. You rarely get into a fight with people…..but I'm afraid that I'm going to have to release you." Vince said. Maria's heart sped up. She felt as though she couldn't breathe for a split second.

"But why Vince? You just said that I was basically great at my job." Maria said.

"That's just it. You're never here for your job Maria." He said.

"No. You just never use me." Maria said.

"So that only means that it'll be much easier for me to say Maria…your FIRED!" He shouted. "Now get the hell out of my office!" Maria jumped up from the seat with tears streaming down her face. She went to her locker room and grabbed her stuff.

"Maria. Where are you going?" Kelly questioned worriedly. Maria didn't answer them. She just walked out and into the parking lot. She opened the door to her rental car and put her stuff inside. She sat in the driver's seat and tried to calm down. She breathed in and out slowly before driving off. She reached an airport later that night, bought a ticket and boarded. She cried herself to sleep on that flight. She was going home. She needed to be with family right now.

Backstage at TNA

Jeff Hardy stood with Rob van Dam, Shannon Moore, and Mr. Anderson.

"So Jeff how's life?" Rob asked him.

"Life sucks right now Rob." Jeff answered him matter-of-factly.

"Man you got to let go of her. If you don't you're just going to lose focus in your matches and then you're going to start losing then you'll get fired." Mr. Anderson explained. Jeff sighed.

"I know, but I can't forget about her. She probably hates me for not answering any of her text and calls. She'll never forgive me for the way I left her." He said shaking his head. Just as he said that Christy Hemme and Madison Rayne walked up.

"Hey guys. What's wrong Jeff? Madison said after kissing Shannon's cheek.

"Jeff thinks Maria hates him." Shannon said.

"Awwww honey. If she still calls you then obviously she doesn't hate you, but when those calls stop coming just know that that's when you're in trouble." Christy said to her friend. He nodded and they all walked back Alex Shelly's locker room where he watching a music video that was playing on MTV. "What you watchin' babe?" Christy said.

"Maria. She's got a video out. It's called Fantasy. She's an awesome singing. And I think she's talking about Jeff." Alex said.

"How do you know that?" Anderson asked.

"Whisper in the Wind. Superstar Kiss. Green sparkles in your eyes. Think about it people." Alex said. They thought about before agreeing with him. Jeff collapsed onto the sofa with Alex and his tag team partner. He could never remember that guy's name. Maria looked so beautiful. Then the video ended.

"And that was the beautiful Maria's brand new song & music video. Fantasy. Ever since the fiery petite red head was released from WWE she's had the opportunity to work on another one of her biggest dreams and you just heard her first step right here. On M.T.V Thanks everybody see ya later." Everyone else was speechless.

"Released?" Jeff whispered. "Quick get to youtube!" Jeff exclaimed. Madison nodded and pulled up youtube on her phone.

"Sorry Jeff. Nobody has a video of her being released, but people sure are talking about. Seems like Mickie was also released. Something about her being too fat?" Madison frowned.

"Guys I don't care if seeing her or speaking to her screws with my in-ring skills, but I have to talk to her."

"Dude. Suicidal much." Rob said. "You left her remember. Maybe Christy's wrong. Maybe she's calling to give you a death threat. Chicks are like that sometimes." He added. Jeff sighed and rolled his eyes.

"Whatever guys."

A week later on TNA

"We are live tonight with some very exciting news everybody! We are having a special guest here tonight on TNA." Taz said.

"Hey guys. Who do you think this special guest is?" Shannon asked from backstage inside Jeff's locker room. Jeff was getting ready for a match. He was all dressed now he just needed to mentally prep himself and stretch. Alex shrugged. Don't know. Christy's going to interview her in a few seconds. Christy showed up on the screen with mic in hand ready. Of course they couldn't see the person she was interviewing yet, but she had a huge grin plastered on her face.

"Hello ladies and gentlemen. Tonight I am here with the brand new singing sensation and former WWE Diva MA-RIAAAAAAA!" She exclaimed in pure excitement. Jeff's head snapped towards the tv screen. He had been doing awesome getting over her seeing as though the calls and texts did stop. He had been moving on and now this. Maria stood there dressed in jean destructed skinny jeans, a pink and black woven top, and some demonia pink canvas high tops. Her hair was straight down her back.
"Thank you Christy. I'm so glad to be here." Maria said.

"And we're so happy to have you here Maria! Does this mean that your" Christy was cut off by something. Maria turned around and took a step backwards. The camera viewed in on the mystery person. It was Jeff Hardy. He stared at her for a moment before nodding slowly.
