Chapter 1
"Welcome to Friday Night Smackdown! We are live here in the Emerald City, Seattle, Washington!" the first announcer stated.
Matt Hardy was sitting in his dressing room waiting for his match against Jack Swagger, he knew how the match was going to turn out, but that wasn't what he was thinking about. It had only been three months since that horrible night and he just couldn't erase it from his memory. To him it seemed like it had just happened yesterday.
Flashback:
4 months ago...
It was 3:33 am on February 22, 2005 and Matt walked downstairs to get some water after a passionate lovemaking session with his live-in girlfriend Amy. As he was walking over to the refrigerator, he noticed Amy's bag on the counter. He pulled out her cell phone and called her voice mail. She hadn't checked her voice mail in several days. Matt listened to the messages and Adam had been burning up her phone. There were a few messages from Adam that were a dead give away that something was going on.
Matt proceeded to listen to the messages and in the course of the messages, Adam had stated that he wanted her to call him and that he can't sleep at night if she's not with him and he stated that he loved her over and over again. Matt forwarded the messages to both of his phones as well as Hurricane's phone. After doing that Matt proceeded to go up stairs and jerk the covers off of Amy.
Matt told her to sit and they were going to play a little game of "Tell the ******* truth." Matt played the messages that he had just forwarded to his phone and Amy started crying. Matt started yelling at Amy as he felt betrayed by her.
"So you've been ******* him, huh?" Matt yelled. "What the hell? I love you? I love you? He loves you?"
Matt paced the bedroom in anger.
"I am going to go call this mother ****** and you are going to stand there and listen." Matt yelled.
Matt headed towards the bedroom door and turned around and looked at Amy sitting on the bed.
"Get your bad knee, get your bags and get the hell out of my house." Matt demanded.
Matt felt there was nothing more that could be done about it. He knew that she had been cheating on him, lying to him and she betrayed him. Matt told her to leave, but then told her to stay as he was going to call Adam in front of her. Matt and Amy stood in the living room as Matt called Adam.
"Adam. Hey, Mother ******! I heard some messages that you left my girlfriend. "I love you!" What the **** is that about? You sorry piece of ****. Wait til I get my hands on you! I'm going to slap the **** out of you! Call me back Adam. I'm sure your wife is going to like these messages as I am about to call her right now and tell her about this horse ****! And I'm going to send her these messages. As a matter of fact if it interests you, I've already sent them to Shane. And every mother ****** is going to know this ****. So If I was you, I would quickly call me back. You sorry piece of ****, mother ******! And I'm going to send this to Lisa." Matt left the message on Adam's phone.
Amy stood there and cried. As Amy was leaving she tried to hug Matt.
"Just get the **** out. Don't touch me." Matt stated.
"But I've got so much stuff here." Amy stated.
"Just leave! Your ******* stuff will be fine here. You can get it later. Just get out of my sight. Because just seeing you, your sight is making me ******* sick. " Matt stated with some kindness even though he was so furious.
A few days later, Matt logged into his website and took all the pictures of Amy down. He had always treated her as number one and she treated him as number two. Matt walked through his house and took all the pictures of her down. He even through one of her poster size pictures off of his balcony and ran over it with his car.
Present day
Matt was so zoned out that he didn't hear his younger brother, Jeff Hardy and their manager and Jeff's wife, Krista come into the room. Jeff and Krista had just gotten married a mere month before Matt and Amy broke up. They never knew what was going to happen. Jeff and Krista loved having Amy around and thought of her as part of the family. In fact they were sure that Matt and Amy would be the next to get married.
"Matt?" Jeff called out to his brother. But no answer.
"Matthew?" Krista called out. Still no answer.
"Matthew Moore Hardy! Are you in there?" Jeff stated as he touched his brother's shoulder.
Matt jumped but said nothing.
"Matty, are you ok?" Krista asked.
"Yeah. I will be just fine." Matt responded. "You know, you're the only one who I let call me that?"
"Yeah, I know. Must mean I'm special." Krista responded with a gentle smile.
"That you are. You have a wonderful man for a husband and an awesome brother-in-law who lets you call him "Matty."" Matt jokingly responded.
"You know, I am lucky to have you both in my life. And your dad and sister too." Krista responded as her long brown hair that was streaked with green and purple highlights cascaded over her shoulders.
"Are you ready for your match, bro?" Jeff asked as he took a seat next to Krista.
"As ready as I ever will be." Matt responded as he stood up and walked out to await his cue.
Meanwhile out in the crowd about 5 rows back from ringside sat three best friends. Two of which surprised the third with the tickets to Friday Night Smackdown. Leah, Brittney and Angela had been best friends for as long as they could remember. And tonight was a special night. It was Leah's thirtieth birthday and they knew she was a huge fan of the WWE, especially Matt Hardy. Leah's friends had another surprise for her after the show. They were taking her to a local club for some much needed fun.
Leah got really excited as she heard Matt's theme song and his name being announced. She snapped as many pictures as she possibly could. She watched Matt's match against Jack Swagger so intently. When Matt went for the pin, she wished that he would pin her like that.
Matt made his way backstage and to his dressing room after defeating Jack Swagger and retaining the Intercontinental Championship title. Matt was happy that he won the match despite his mood earlier. Jeff and Krista congratulated him and told him that there were a bunch of guys and Diva's headed out to a local club for some drinks and dancing after the show.
"Do I have to go?" Matt asked as he undid the laces on his boots.
"Yes. You have to go. What else are you going to do? Go sulk in your hotel room?" Jeff responded.
"As a matter of fact yes." Matt answered.
"Please come out with us, Matty! If not for you then, for me?" Krista asked making a sad puppy dog face at her brother-in-law.
"Oh alright! I'll go. But I'm only doing it so you stop making that sad face." Matt responded as he headed into the shower.
"Finally! It's about time he gets out for some fun." Krista said to Jeff.
"Yeah really. I know he loved her, but four months is enough grieving over the break up." Jeff stated.
After the show ended, Leah, Brittney and Angela headed out to their car and towards the club. Little did they know that fate was going to play a part in tonights fun. Matt, Jeff, Krista, Randy, Shane, John and Chris headed to the same club and Maria, Candice, Michelle and Victoria followed behind them in their limo.
After arriving at the club they quickly found an empty table and ordered drinks. After downing a few drinks to help them relax, everyone but Matt hit the dance floor. Matt watched as everyone had a great time. Matt scanned the room to see if there was anyone else there that he knew. As see looked over near the entrance, he noticed a group a girls that had just walked in. One of the girls had long light brown hair with a hint of natural red highlights that stood out when the light hit her head just right.
Matt took another sip of his drink as he watched her and friends walk through the club and take seats at a booth across the room from Matt. He couldn't help but notice that the same girl with the long hair was wearing a tight fitting t-shirt of the Hardy Boyz and a Hardy Boyz necklace.
"She's a fan." he muttered to himself.
On the other side of the room, Leah and her friends ordered their drinks. Angela got up and went over to the bar and told them that it was Leah's thirtieth birthday too see if they could do something special for her. After their first round of drinks, the waitress brought over a small round cake with number thirty in candles on top. Her friends sang happy birthday to her. Matt couldn't help but smile when he saw Leah smile and laugh.
"Hey Matt! What are you staring at?" Shane asked as he and Maria rejoined the table.
"Nothing. It's nothing." Matt responded quickly.
"Sure! Nothing. Like I would believe that after seeing you staring like that. What does she look like?" Maria teased.
"I'm not staring at anyone." Matt stated as Jeff and Krista sat back down.
"Hey Nero. Matt was staring at someone across the room and it was like he was in a trance." Shane tattled to Jeff.
"Um, yeah ok. Whatever you say Shane." Jeff responded taking a sip of his beer.
Shane and Maria soon headed back to the dance floor and Krista headed to the bar to order another drink.
"Were you really staring at girl?" Jeff asked.
"Actually, yeah. She's sitting over there with her friends." Matt responded pointing in the the direction of Leah, Brittney and Angela.
"Then why don't you go over there and talk to her?" Jeff asked.
"I.. I don't think I'm ready." Matt stated as somehow they made eye contact.
"Matt, it's been four months. Please have some fun tonight. Take a chance for once and just do it. Don't think about it." Jeff responded.
"Jeff.." Matt started.
"Don't "Jeff" me." Jeff stated getting annoyed that his brother was still dwelling over Amy. "Let it go, man. I know she hurt you, but you can't sit around forever moping over it."
"It's not exactly that easy." Matt responded.
"I know its not easy, but the only way to get over it is to move on. Did you see me dwelling over Beth when we split up?" Jeff asked.
"No. I saw you getting drunk all of the time." Matt answered.
"Alright. So my example isn't the best one. Krista what about you?" Jeff asked.
"Well when I broke up with my ex-boyfriend. I made my mistakes, by jumping into dating right away, but I also didn't let what happened between us keep me down and out. Matty, please go have some fun. Even if you only just dance with her, its better than sitting here alone while the rest of us have fun." Krista responded.
Matt finally agreed to loosen up and have fun. Jeff and Krista headed back out to the dance floor. After they left he looked up and saw that girl he was looking at was sitting alone at her table. Matt looked to the dance floor and saw that the other two were dancing with some guys. Matt finished his beer and made his way over to her table.
"Hi there. May I join you?" Matt asked politely.
"Hi. Sure I guess." the girl responded.
"I'm Matt." Matt stated as he sat down.
"Hello Matt. I'm Le..Le..ah." Leah sputtered out as she realized who was talking to her.
"It's nice to meet you Leah. I can't help but notice that you're wearing a shirt that I helped design and the Hardy Boyz pendant." Matt responded.
"Yes. I'm a huge fan. I always have been. I never miss an episode or Pay-Per-View event. And when the WWE is in town, I always make sure that I get tickets." Leah said as she started to relax.
"That's cool. I couldn't help but notice that your friends got you a birthday cake." Matt stated.
"Yeah. Tonight is my birthday. They surprised me with tickets to the show and bringing me here. And I'm starting to think that I'm glad they did." Leah responded as she started to blush.
"Same here. So I have to ask. How old are you this birthday?" Matt asked.
"The big three-oh." Leah answered with a sigh.
"That's not too bad. I'm thirty-four." Matt responded.
Leah smiled at Matt. Jeff looked over to see where his brother had gone and found him talking to the girl. Matt and Leah continued to talk. Matt bought her a few drinks as well as for himself. Soon enough Leah was leading Matt to the dance floor. Even her friends noticed that she had relaxed enough to start having fun.
As Leah danced with Matt, she still couldn't believe that she was dancing with Matt Hardy. Soon Jeff and Krista were dancing beside them as a slow song came on. Jeff decided to "accidentally" bump into Matt.
"Oops. Sorry Matt. I didn't see you there." Jeff stated after he bumped into Matt. "So who is this you're dancing with?"
"Oops my ass, Nero." Matt scowled at his brother.
Everyone finished dancing to the song and Matt took Leah over to his table. They were soon joined by everyone in their party. The girls all shot Matt a "oh wow" look as the guys stood there in awe that Matt had a girl with him.
"What are you all staring at?" Matt asked his friends.
"Sorry man." John stated as he took a seat next to Candice.
Everyone took their seats, but no one said anything.
"This table is too quiet for a bunch of WWE superstars." Krista started the conversation as she and Jeff joined the table on the other side of Leah.
"Exactly. Did a cat get everyone's tongue all at once?" Jeff joked as he wrapped an arm around Krista.
"Alright I guess I'll start. I'm Maria Kanellis." Maria introduced.
"Thank you, Maria." Matt smirked. "Like she said she's Maria, that's Chris Jericho, Candice Michelle, John Cena, Michelle McCool, Lisa Marie also known as Victoria. That's Randy Orton, and then my rainbow colored friends on the other side of you are my brother Jeff and his wife Krista. Everyone this is Leah."
"It's nice to meet you Leah." Jeff stated as he stuck his hand out to shake hers.
"Thank you. It's nice to meet all of you." Leah responded.
As they all talked and joked around. Not really realizing what he was doing, Matt slide his arm around Leah's shoulders. Leah excused herself only long enough to grab her stuff and tell her friends that she would catch up with them later. She headed back over to where Matt was sitting. Leah was having so much fun with Matt and the other WWE stars. They all started to play a drinking game in which most of the women and a few men got completely toasted, Leah and Matt being two of them.
It was nearly 2 am when they all left the club. John invited everyone back to his room for some more fun. Leah was definitely up for some more fun. Matt loved that Leah was enjoying herself. After spending the next hour getting even more plastered in John's room. Matt refused to let her leave in the condition she was in and she didn't resist one bit.
The two left John's after party and made their way to the elevator. Matt and Leah could barely stand on their own two feet and as the elevator halted to a stop Matt stumbled into Leah who was standing in the corner. Their eyes met and soon so did their lips. They were so engulfed in their kissing that they didn't notice the elevator doors open and close again.
The elevator went back to the floor John was on and when the doors opened, there stood Jeff, Krista, Randy and Maria. Their jaws dropped when they saw what was going on in the elevator. Jeff got in the elevator and pushed the button for Matt's floor. They broke their kiss when they heard the elevator ding when it reached their floor. Matt took Leah by the hand and lead her to his room.
As soon as the door had closed Matt locked it and came towards Leah who was standing next to the bed. Matt cupped her face in his hands and kissed her. Within a matter of minutes both of them were undressing each other. Matt went back to kissing Leah and they soon fell onto the bed. Matt climbed on top of her and kissed her. Neither one of them were completely aware of what was happening and they do anything to stop it either.
While they made love, Matt caressed her soft skin and kissed her neck and shoulders. Matt thought that it was the most amazing sex he had ever had. After they were both completely spent, Matt collapsed on the bed and curled up with Leah. Soon they were both asleep.
Later that day, Leah woke up to a massive headache and wondering what happened last night. She vaguely remembered meeting Matt and his friends, but after that she drew a blank. She lay quietly on the bed doing her best to remember what she had done. All of a sudden the bed moved and she jumped a little. She looked over to her right to see who was in the bed with her. She slowly moved the covers back to reveal his face.
MATT! She had slept with Matt Hardy! She was in shock at what she had done. She never did this sort of thing. As she lay looking at his innocent face, she couldn't help but start to fall in love with him. But in the back of her mind she knew that she could never have him. He was a popular athlete and she was nobody. She only hoped that no one would see her leave his room. She tried to get up, but her head hurt too much. Matt rolled onto his side and wrapped his arm around her. Leah loved the way his arms felt around her but again she knew there was no possibility of them having anything more than that night.
Matt started to wake up and kissed her cheek. He sat up in the bed and pulled her close to him. But their quiet morning was short lived as there came a knock on the door.
Knock-knock! Knock-knock!
"Hang on!" Matt called out.
"Hurry up, Matty." the voice called out.
"Who is calling him Matty?" Leah thought. She doesn't remember anyone at the club calling him that. She ignored her thoughts and finished getting dressed and pulled her long hair up.
Matt opened the door making sure that whoever it was couldn't see into the room and spot Leah. The person at the door was Matt's sister-in-law, Krista. Krista pushed past Matt and entered the room. Krista stopped dead in her tracks when she saw Leah sitting in a chair putting her shoes on.
