Disclaimer: Anyone you recognize, i dont own. The nobodys your never heard of... yep them bitches is mine lol.
Okay first things first, yes i do know that Austin Aries real name is Dan Solowod, Roddies is Chris Lyndsey, and most of the others in this story dont go by there real names in this business. But for the sake of storytelling, we are going to assume their ring names are thier real ones.
Um, if you hate this story, blame Xytne, she wouldnt update Bittersweet Sensation (amazing story check it out!) and so i had to start writing this. So, all flamers and angry mobs make your way over to her. lol!

"Hey everybody this is Matt, leave me a message..."
"ERRR!" I growled in frustration, as I hung up the phone for the fifth time. I quickly flipped it back open and dialed his number again.
"God dammit Sydal, pick up your phone!" I stated, to no one, as it began ringing in my ear. It rang two more times before the groggy voice of Matt Sydal came onto the line.
"Hello?" He said barely above a whisper
"Bout damn time Matt!" I said with a smile.
"Laine?" He asked, a little louder.
"The one and only." I answered cockily.
"What time is it?" He asked, as i heard his head flop down onto the pillows.
"I dont know 10 something..." I guessed. "But who cares. Get your ass out of bed and let me in!"
"Your here?" Matt asked excitedly.
"No dipshit, i want you to walk all the way to Millwake and open the door for me. Of course i'm here now let me in!"
Matt laughed before i heard the phone hit the bed. About ten seconds later I heard a soft click as the front door was unlocked. Matt wrentched the door back and came flying at me with a bear hug, knocking me to the ground.
"Ugh your fat." I said, rolling over on top of him.
"Oh you knwo you like it." He said with a laugh. I pretended to gag.
"In your dreams Sydal."
"I dont have to dream missy, your the one who's straddling me." He said with a sly grin, placing his hands on my hips.
I laughed and stood up quickly and offered him my hand. He took it, only to pull me back down on top of him, and rolling so he was on top of me, and pinning my wrists to the ground on the porch outside his apartment.
I laughed before saying "You know whats sad?"
Matt cocked an eyebrow at me, telling me he had no clue.
"I actually missed you." I said with a smile.
"Oh dont act like you dont love me." He said with a cocky grin.
"Oh yes Matt, your a love god." I said through laughs.
"Dude, what the hell we have neighbors!" Came a voice from behind us, as Matt was pulled from me, allowing me to sit up on my elbows.
"Jackie!" I yelled before jumping up and wrapping my arms around his neck. Jack Evans hugged me back, before gently pushing me away.
"3 things Laine, One, what the hell was Matt doing on top of you, Two, i told you not to call me Jackie, and Three, where the hell have you been?"
"He's a perv, you like it, and Japan." I said with a smile, as Matt crossed his arms, and pouted like a child.
"I'm not a perv." He mumbled, staring at the ground. Me and Jack both just laughed.
"Guys what the hell, you do know its like 10 o'clock in the morning right?" Came another voice from the doorway.
All three of us turned to see a drowsy Colt Cabana, fully decked out in his batman pajama pants and matching slippers.
"Your guys are such... guys." I said.
"Oh, that one stung." Jack said, clutching his chest. I punched him hard on the shoulder.
"Owww!" He said, over exatgerating.
"Whats wrong Jackie, you getting beat up by teensie weensie little old me?" I said, pretending to curtsey. Matt and Colt laughed, and Jack crossed his arms, glaring at me.
"Its okay Jackie, i still love you." I laughed, rubbing his arm. He stuck his tounge out at me, which only made me laugh harder.
"Can we go inside now?" Mat asked, running his hands up and down his bare arms, tryign to cirrculate some heat. I smiled and followed the rest of them into the small apartment.
"How the 5 of you live here, I will never know." I sighed, taking in the familiar surroundings of the North Philidalphia apartment they called home.
"6" Matt corrected me, before plooping down on the couch.
"Who am i missing?" I asked confused.
"You." He said flatly "I'm not letting you leave again." He stated, before picking up the remote and flipping on the TV.
"What are you gonna do Sydal, chain me to the bed?" I asked with a smirk, crossing my arms across my chest.
"If you want me to." he said with a sick smirk, even though he never looked away from teh tv. I jsut rolled my eyes.
"I'll never get men." I sighed, before i plooped down ont the couch next to Matt.
"Uh, i hate daytime television." He sighed a few minutes later, before leaning backagaisnt the couch and placing an arm around my shoulder.
"Speaking of daytime telvision." I pipped up "Where's Roddy and Austin?"
Jack looked at me confused.
"What does that have to do with daytime television?" He asked with a slight smile.
"Its called a segway Sydal, geez, keep up." I said with a laugh. Matt just rolled his eyes.
"Austin's asleep and Roddy was is flying in from a show. He shoudl be home in a few hours."
"He's doing a show without Austin? Thats a first." I said, before laying my head agaisnt Matt's shoulder, staring blankly at the cheesy movie that was playing.
Matt just shrugged and stared at the TV as well.
"So how long you in town for?" He asked when a commercial came on.
"What happened to not letting me leave?" I asked, looking up at hiim with an amused smirk.
"Oh yah, like i could stop you from leaving." He said with a laugh.
"True..." I said, wrapping my arm around his stomach, and tickling his ribs.
"I'm not ticklish hun." He said with a laugh. "And stop trying to avoid my question."
"I'm staying for good this time." I sighed.
"Are you for cerial?" He asked, sitting up straight, as i fell back agaisnt theback of the couch.
"Yes Matt, i'm for cerial. I've had enough wrestling for awhile. I just want to chill out with my friends for awhile." I said before pusing him back agaisnt the couch and replacing my head on his shoulder.
He laughed and wrapped his arms around me and kissed the top of my head.
"Dude not fair!" Jack said, jumping over the back of the couch landing next to me
"You chose, that over me?" Jack said, looking over to Matt, who was now flipping him off.
"Of course not Jackie!" I said with a smile, before sliding out of Matt's arms and into Jack's .
"Oh, i see how it is." Matt said, crossing his arms and pretending to pout.
"Dont worry Mattie bear, i still love you." Colt said in a high pitched voice, before jumping over the arm of the couch into Matt's lap.
Matt groaned in pain as Colt landed.
"Oh Mattie, such a kidder." Colt said in the same high pitched voice, before kissing him on teh cheek. Matt stood straight upright, dumping Colt onto the floor in front of him.
"Uh man, i don't swing that way!" He said, wiping his cheek (on his face you dirty pervs) with his hand.
By now me and Jack were both cracking up,and Colt was doubled over on the floor where Matt had dumped him, practically in tears from all the laughter.
"Can we go wake up Austin now?" Matt said, sending annoyed glares at all of us.
I nodded at him through laughs, as Jack got up from the couch.
"i'll get the hose." He said walking towardsthe kitchen.
"I'll get the bucket." Matt said wlaking in the other direction.
"I'll get the whipped cream!" Colt said, making us all stop to look at him.
"Awh you guys are no fun." He said, plopping down on the couch.
I laughed and walked over towards Austins room, Matt walking up behind me with a bucket of cold water.
I slowly cracked the door open trying not to make much noise. Once it was fully open, I took a step back, and leaped into the air, landing on Austins sleeping form.
Austin yelled in suprise as I landed, his eyes immediatly jerking open.
"Laine?" He asked. Lookign up at me still in shock.
"Hi big bro." I said with a smile, beore Matt came up behind me and dumped the cold water all over my back.
"Oh, i'll kill you." I said, chasing after him, out into the living room.
I chased him around the room a few tiems, before Colt "accidently" tripped him up, and i was able to get on top of him, pinning him to the floor.
"We've got to stop meeting like this." He said with a sick grin "People might start to talk." I laughed and stood up, allowing him to stand as well.
Once we were both standing he held out both wrists towards me.
"Go ahad Laine, punish me." He said, the same sick grin across his lips. Before i could say anything, Austin slapped him hard in the back of the head.
"Dude, thats my sister!"
"Oh, well if you dont like it then sure, Matt lets go." I said pulling at his wrists. His eyes grew wider then i have ever seen then before.
"Seriosuly?" He asked.
"Fuck no." I laughed. "But i do owe you this." I said, before wrapping him into a hug, succesfully getting him wet. I pushed him away fro me, as i saw Jack coming up behind him with another bucket of water. Matt went to turn around but i grabbed his wrist to stop him.
"Wow Matt, i never noticed how nice your abs are." I said, putting my hands gently on his well defined stomach, that was clearly visable through his now soaking shirt.
"Haha, very funny." He said before turning around, right as Jack dumped the water all over him.
Matt turned back to me, before saying "Oh, its on like Donkey Kong."
"Hey Hey!" I said putting both of my hands up "I never did anything, go after Jack!" I said, backing up as he took a step towards me.
"I consider you an accsesorry." he said with a grin, before picking me up over his shoulder. "Im afraid I'm going to have to take you in for questiong." He said walking towards the bedroom that he and Jack shared.
"Make sure to change the sheets when your done" Jack called after us, followed by and "OW!" as Austin slapped him in the back of the head.
"Put me down Matt!" I said through laughs as i banged my fists on his back.
"Not a chance sweetthing." He said, closing the door behind him.
"Okay seriosuly though, you have a really nice ass." I said, patting his butt that was less than 2 inches from my face.
"I know." He shrugged, laying me down on his bed.
"So whats new in the life of you Miss. Aries?" Matt asked sitting down next to me.
"Not much. Just, i dont know, confused." I sighed. As i did there was a knocking at the door.
"We're going out to breakfast you guys game?" Came Jacks voice from the other side of the door.
"Nah were good." Matt answered quickly.
"What if i wanted to go?' I said, sticking my lip out in a fake pout.
Matt smiled a little. "And pass up qualitly catching up time with me? Not a chance girly."
He didnt say anything else until we heard teh front door close.
"So how was Japan?" He asked.
"Umm... interesting." I said, not really wanting to get into the details.
Matt just nodded, sensing i didnt want to talk about it.
"I really missed you." He said, suddenly blushing.
I smiled. "I missed you too Matt."
"No, i mean... I REALLY missed you. I've been thinking a lot since you were gone, and, um, dont hate me for this." He paused and looked over at me.
"Hate you for what?" I asked, before i realised his face was inching closer to mine.
"Matt, whats going on?" I asked confused, not breaking his gaze.
"I'm making sure you dont leave again." He said inching closer still.
I put my hands on his wet chest, making him stop.
"Matt please." i said almsot begging him. "Dont do this."
"Why not?" Matt asked, looking confused and hurt.
"I.. i dont want to lose you." i said quietly.
"Laine, Laine, look at me. You will never lose me." He said, his face a couple of inches away from mine,
I looked up at him again with pleading eyes.
"Please Matt." I said once again. He looked at me and his face softened. He sighed and pulled me into a hug, and I began to cry in his shoulder.
Which in it self is a testament to how much i have changed. I have never cried in front of Matt before.
"Laine, are you okay?" Matt asked, holding me at shoulders length. I hastily wiped the tears from my eyes, trying not to let him see me like this.
"Come on lets get out of this stinky old room." He said with a laugh, trying to cheer me up. I didnt move. So he bent down and picked me up, and carried me back into teh living room, setting me down on teh couch, and then sitting next to me.
"Your all wet." I said, shoving him playfully as i sniffed back tears.
"Oh yah and your just dry as a camel." He laughed. "I'll go get us something to change into." He said, and walked back into his bedroom. He came out a minute later only holding one shirt.
I shot him a look, and he put his hands up in defense. "I'm not being a perv i swear. It's teh onyl clean one i have. I forgot to do laundry this week." He said, tossing the shirt to me.
"And what are you going to wear?" I asked, as Matt turned his back to let me change.
He jsut shrugged. "Thats what we hve blankets for." he said, pulling his wet shirt over his head.
"Im done." I sighed, and he turned back around, grabbing a blanket from the chair next to him.
"Are you as tired as i am?" I asked, stiffling a yawn.
"Just about." He said with a smile.
I stood up and let him lay down on the couch before laying down infront of him. He unfolded the blanket it and streched it out, covering both of us up. I wrapped my arms around his bare chest, and snuggled my head agaisnt him. He sighed, and played with my hair a little bit. Within a few minutes, my eyelids began to grow heavy and i drifted off to sleep in his arms.
