I sat in my living room watching WWE RAW on TV when there is a knock on my door. I'm not really expecting company since my best friend Rebekah got called by the WWE. They want her at NXT. Apparently, she really impressed the heads over there and she was offered a full ride to Full Sail University. My other best friend, Allison lives in Davenport, Iowa and I had no idea she was even in town. She's good at keeping things a secret. She had mentioned she wanted to see my new place in Cameron, North Carolina.
Let me tell you all a little about myself. My name is Jillian Roberts and I am a 25 year old WWE fan. I grew up with Matt and Jeff Hardy as my older brothers. We were never birth brothers and sister, but that doesn't stop with blood for me. Family is people you are close to and love and who love you back and accept you for who you are. Matt and Jeff took care of me like a little sister even though there is an age gap there.
My best friend Allison Prescott is also 25 and also grew up in North Carolina with me. She's my sister from another mister. Allison has an older brother in the WWE already Tomas Prescott AKA Baron Corbin. Baron never really knew about her until recently because he grew up in Kansas City. He's part of the reason she got the big push to the RAW roster over me. I never really let on that I felt Corbin helped her because she's got serious talent. There is no questioning that. Hands down, she belongs on that RAW roster and she deserves her chance to be number one.
It also makes me nervous to think about Allison traveling all over the world and not having me there for her. I watched Matt and Jeff go through a lot of drama on the road. I realize a lot of their physical injuries caused them to take those pills, but the physical pain didn't turn them into addicts. That to me, was a personal choice. They chose to go down that road and continue to abuse their bodies with drugs. So much so that I feel like it sort of tore them apart, but they always found their way back to each other.
I have to admit something right here and right now. I harbored a crush on Jeff for the longest time and I went through a period where when he was single I tried to date him for a hot minute. I think the age gap between us is the only reason it didn't work out. That, and he was drunk or high out of his mind half the time and I wasn't going to deal with that. I'm just glad he found Beth when he did. She truly saved his life when they got married and had kids together. It scared me to watch how him and Matt would bounce off each other and dare each other to take things to the extreme. I always feared walking into their house and finding one of them passed out in the middle of the floor unresponsive. Thank God that never happened.
So, I'm sitting watching RAW like I do every Monday night. Of course, Rebekah said this was going to be a very different RAW tonight. I blew her off like it was just her hyping the show up so it would get more ratings. So, I don't think it's a coincidence that Allison showed up at my house on the same night that Rebekah claimed it was going to be a different Monday Night Raw. Something is going on.
Jillian: "Who is it?"
Allison: "It's me, Allison."
Jillian: "Come on in. It's open."
That's the beauty of living in North Carolina. You can actually not worry about leaving the door unlocked because you know damn near everyone in your town. I know all my neighbors and my neighbors knew everyone who came through my driveway.
Allison: "You should really lock your front door. What if some psycho path walks in here?"
Jillian: "I can assure you that Mrs. Avery across the street will shoot them before they even get on the front porch. She's got a good aim. I'm pretty sure she could shoot a flea off a dog's back from 100 feet away and not even split the fur."
Allison: "Damn, what is she, a 90 year old retired sniper?"
Jillian: "Nope. She's a 70 year old farmer who knows her way around a gun. She offered to teach me how to shoot. That's how I know how good she is. It's not some noisy cricket looking gun either. She's got a shot gun that will fill your ass with buck shot if she doesn't recognize you."
Allison: "Holy shit. See, these kind of people don't live in Davenport. We got each other's back, but I have yet to see one of my neighbors with a shot gun offering to off outsiders."
Jillian: "She knows your car. So, you don't have to worry about getting offed."
Allison: "Good to know. So, have you heard from Rebekah?"
Jillian: "No. I haven't heard anything since she called and told me she got the spot at NXT. She said they were talking about moving her up to the main roster."
Allison: "What happened with you? Did you decide the spotlight was too hot after we graduated from Black and The Brave?"
Jillian: "No it wasn't too hot for me. I'm taking my time with this. If I rush into it I might fuck it up and end up back at square one."
Allison: "True, but you and Bekah were in the same class. Why didn't you just follow her to NXT? You could work out your issues while you train."
Jillian: "I start this semester. Some time in April. So, it's not like I'm avoiding the whole WWE scene. I want to be on the WWE scene, but I don't know how to feel about Jeff being there 24/7 again."
Allison: "Dude, he's happily married with two kids. He's in a different place then he was when you met him. I'm pretty sure he's over the whole crush thing with you."
Jillian: "I'm sure he is too. I'm just not sure I am and if I start putting myself into situations on the road where I am alone with him, I'm afraid it will spark up again and we both will get into trouble and I don't want to be on the receiving end of a Beth Hardy beat down. That could be detrimental to my health and well being."
Allison: "Just remind yourself of that if you start feeling too close with Jeff. Just remind yourself that you could be the victim of a Beth Hardy beat down."
Jillian: "Your so logical sometimes. It's actually quite funny."
Allison: "How is being logical funny? I do have brains in my head. I'm not a zombie wearing my skin."
Jillian: "Very funny. I know your not a zombie. I'm just saying you make it sound so simple. Just remind yourself you could get a Beth Hardy beat down and your raging hormones will disappear. No more temptation. Like we couldn't get away with fooling around."
Allison: "You couldn't. Someone would get attached and blow it out of the water and that beat down will be the least of your worries."
