Chapter 1

Jeff Hardy was the one of the hottest men in the WWE and everyone thought he was also one of the most eligible bachelors too. But little did they know, Jeff was very much taken and extremely happy. The only people who knew about his secret were his family, close friends and Vince and Stephanie McMahon. The Divas tried to get into his bed every week, but he stood his ground and told them no. They just couldn't understand why he didn't want them.

"Jeff, are you about ready to hit the road?" Matt asked impatiently.

"Hang on." Jeff answered. "Baby, I love you and I will miss you."

"I love you and will miss you too. You're only going to be gone for a week and I promise nothing will happen." Krista stated.

"I hope not. I'll call you as soon as I can baby." Jeff responded.

"Ok. You'd better get going or you'll miss your flight." Krista stated before kissing him sweetly on the lips.

After Jeff and Matt left, Krista's sister-in-law Amanda came over and asked if they were gone yet. Krista nodded her head in confusion. Amanda and Matt had only been married for 3 years while Krista and Jeff had been married for 6 years. Matt and Amanda had eloped while in Vegas and while they did love each other, they had their share of problems.

"Why did you want to know if they were gone yet?" Krista asked.

"I need a break from Matt. He's been constantly up my ass about everything. I just don't know what to do anymore." Amanda answered.

"That's not like Matt at all." Krista responded.

"No it's not and I think he's using again." Amanda stated.

"Really? I was hoping that his stint in rehab would do the trick. What makes you think he's using again?" Krista asked.

"He's extremely paranoid and wont let me do anything without him." Amanda answered.

"Sounds like he is using again." Krista responded as she shook her head.

Krista didn't know what to do. She and Matt hadn't really gotten along since she started dating Jeff. She had been with Jeff when he was using drugs, and helped him get clean. Matt on the other hand, only wanted to party and do what he wanted. Jeff and their dad, forced him to go to rehab, but obviously it didn't work.

"I hate to say this, but if he is using again, I'm going to leave him. I can't deal with this anymore." Amanda stated.

"I know. But do you think leaving him will help him?" Krista asked.

"I think that if I temporarily move out and threaten a divorce because of it, it might." Amanda answered.

"I hope for your sake you are right." Krista responded as she placed a hand on her stomach.

"Are you ok?" Amanda asked.

"Yeah. The baby doesn't like it when I'm upset or worried." Krista answered.

"I can imagine. Did you and Jeff ever find out what you are having?" Amanda asked.

"Jeff is the only one who knows as he is doing the baby's room." Krista answered.

"Ahh. And you don't want to know?" Amanda asked.

"Nope. I want it to be a surprise." Krista answered.

As the rest of the afternoon went on, Amanda headed home and decided that just before Matt was due to come home that she would pack up her stuff and temporarily move out. She loved Matt, but she couldn't handle his drug abuse. The week went by quickly and Amanda moved in with a friend of hers while she and Matt dealt with their issues.

Krista warned Jeff what he was coming home to and not to say anything to Matt. Jeff understood, but was worried how all this was going to impact all their lives. Krista was just worried about the baby as she was 34 weeks along and had 6 weeks more to go before they would meet their baby.

The night that Jeff and Matt came home, Matt dropped Jeff off at home before heading home to Amanda. When he pulled into the driveway, he noticed that all the lights were off and her car wasn't there. He figured that she pulled the car around back and he headed into the house.

"Baby, I'm home." Matt called out but got no answer.

Matt walked through the house and Amanda was nowhere to be found. Matt headed into the master bedroom and noticed that all of Amanda's stuff was gone and that there was a note on her dresser. Matt picked up the piece of paper and read it.

"Dear Matt,

I don't know where to start with this. I love you, but I can't be with you. I don't know what is going on exactly, but I have the feeling you are using again. If that is the case, then you need to make a decision. It's either going to be me or the drugs. I just cant handle you using drugs. There is something else I need to tell you, but that can wait. I'm not going to tell you where I am, but you can call me if you promise not to yell at me over the phone. I am only doing this for your own good. I don't want to loose my husband. I love you. -Amanda."

Matt just stood there looking at the note that his wife had left him. He couldn't believe that Amanda would leave him like this. He knew he was wrong for hurting her like he did. He didn't want to loose his wife either. Matt ran downstairs and headed over to Jeff and Krista's house. He had a feeling that either Amanda was there with them or Krista knew where she was.
