Author's Note: I recently really started to love Jesse Neal. I think his story is amazing and I love him in a tag team. He's a really nice guy and I've been thinking about this story for days now. I think it's really funny and cute. I think it will make people smile and it will also make you cry at times and it will be awesome. Enjoy!

I watched with careful eyes as wrestlers passed me, sure that someone was going to tell me I wasn't supposed to be backstage. Even with the pass in my hand that said I could walk around, I was nervous to be there. Everything inside of me froze as wrestlers I loved walked past me and I stared at them. They probably thought I was a crazy fan, but I was actually a friend of a wrestler.

People rushed past me, barely noticing the small blonde girl in the pink shirt. I ran a hand through my hair, wondering where my friend was. I didn't know where I was and I was terrified I was going to interrupt a taped segment and have to leave, feeling embarrassed as people mumbled about me.

I looked at the backstage pass that said my name and rolled my eyes. Most people who were allowed backstage probably knew where to find people. Considering this was the first time I'd seen my friend in months, I had no idea where I was. A person yelling into a phone pushed me and threw papers into someone else's hand wearing a TNA shirt.

"Don't worry," she had told me. "I'll find you. Just tell them you're name and you'll be backstage waiting for me."

"Are you sure?" I asked her. "I don't want to make any problems. What if I can't find you?"

"It's not hard, Leah," my friend laughed. "You'll find me."

I was planning on killing my friend once I did find her. Madison Rayne was supposed to be waiting for me here and she was no where to be found. I could have asked someone to find her for me, but I was stubborn and knew I would be red in seconds.

My eyes lit up as I saw catering, knowing I could at least have some food while I waited for Madison. I knew she wasn't near her phone, as I had texted her several times asking where she was. As I walked into catering, I noticed JB talking with Beer Money as they ate, phones in hand. I closed my eyes and wondered why Madison couldn't have her phone like them.

I grabbed a salad and a water, sitting down far from the wrestlers. They noticed me for a second and then continued to talk, obviously not worried about the woman that had a salad in front of her. I picked at my food for nearly a half an hour when I heard what made it feel as if the entire building was shaking around me. The guys smiled as it continued and I knew the tapings were starting and that matches would start.

I finished my salad and rushed from catering, knowing I had passed the curtain on my way. Madison had informed me that she had a match early that night and I hoped I would catch her before she went to wrestle. If I was able to find her, at least I could stay at the curtain until her match was over.

"Shit," someone said as I fell to the floor, my water flying from my hand.

I closed my eyes as my back took most of the fall and waited for pain. I sat on the floor for a moment, feeling my back throb weakly and then dull to almost nothing in seconds.

"That hurt," I mumbled to myself, rolling my eyes.

"It looked like it did." Who was standing over me? I had almost forgotten that I had fallen because I ran into someone. When I looked up, I noticed concerned green eyes staring back at me, even though there was an amused smile on the guy's face. "Are you okay?"

I nodded, even though when I went to get up, my back hurt. "Yeah."

He didn't look convinced as helped me up and I nearly fell on him. My eyes went to his mohawk and slowly flowed down to his tattooed covered arms. I knew I had seen him before, but I couldn't remember his name. I was sure he was a wrestler though.

We looked at each other and I didn't know what to say. I realized soon enough that my back still hurt and rubbed it, rolling my eyes. "Sorry, I didn't see you," I explained. "I didn't mean to hit you like that."

He smiled. "It's okay. Are you sure you're okay?" He noticed me holding my back and raised his eyebrows. "It looks like you fell on it pretty hard."

As I went to shrug, I winced and he gave me another smile. "Yeah, I might have hurt my back," I admitted.

He looked at me and then picked something off the ground, reading whatever it was. "Is this yours?" he asked, showing me my backstage pass.

My eyes were wide. "Shit, yeah. I would have been screwed if I lost that."

"A fan?"

"Yes and I'm also a friend of Madison Rayne." I rolled my eyes. "I was supposed to meet her here, but I can't find her."

He laughed. "She's in a match right now." He showed me the curtain that was a few feet away and I saw my friend in the wrestling ring with another wrestler.

"Oh," I muttered. He looked at me and then motioned me to follow him. We walked for a moment and we stopped in front of what I thought was a locker room, but was actually the medical area. He talked to a man for a moment and then pointed to me.

"I don't know your name," he explained as he walked over to me. "I'm sorry."

"Leah," I smiled. "Nice to meet you."

He laughed at my humor. "Jesse Neal. I'm sure you knew that."

"I couldn't remember your name," I told him with a laugh. "Sorry."

He shrugged. "It's okay. This is John. I thought it would be a good idea for him to check your back. I'll wait for Madison at the curtain and tell her to meet you here. My match is next and my tag team partner is going to be pissed if I'm not there."

I nodded. "Thanks."

Jesse smiled. "Just don't fall again, okay?"

I laughed. "Sure."

When he left, I looked at the man named John. He slowly explained that he was going to check certain points of my back and to tell him if anything hurt. A few minutes later, he told me I was fine and just sore from the impact of the fall. "I don't suggest you wrestle any time soon," he teased with a laugh, helping me up.

"I won't," I muttered, rolling my eyes. "I'll leave that for Madison."

"What about me?" Madison walked into the room then, looking concerned.

"There you are," I muttered. "I was looking everywhere for you earlier."

"Sorry," she laughed. "Jesse Neal just told me to come here. What happened? Are you okay?"

I nodded. "I fell and my back hurt. He told me to come here just to make sure I was okay."

Madison rolled her eyes. "You're here less than an hour and you're already making problems, Leah."

I thanked John and I followed Madison to her locker room with the other Knockouts. As she put on clothes, she continued to tease me, but I wasn't listening to her. I was actually thinking about Jesse Neal and what an awesome smile he had. I closed my eyes and remembered his tattoos and eyes, thinking he was interesting very nice to me. I knew Jesse could have thought of me as a crazy fan, but was nice enough to make sure I was okay and that meant a lot to me.

"Leah!" Madison's voice made me open my eyes. "I was just talking to you."

I rolled my eyes. "Sorry."

"I asked if you wanted to stay and watch the rest of the show or we could just head back to the hotel early. I don't care."

While I didn't want Madison to know, I was interested in seeing Jesse again. If we left for the hotel, I wouldn't see him until tomorrow when I spent the day with her again. I had some memories of him from Impact every week, but I just never cared enough to really listen when he was on the show.

"Leah!"

"What?"

"You keep ignoring me!" Madison was staring at me as if I was insane. She had her arms on her chest and was standing over her me with annoyed eyes.

I shrugged. "Sorry."

"Are you sure you didn't hit your head?"

I shoved her. "Shut up."

"Are we staying?" Madison asked.

I nodded. "We are."

She followed me as I left the locker room and began to walk down the hallway. I heard her say something about getting lost, but ignored her, determined to find him. Finally, when I realized I wasn't sure where I was, I stopped. "What is the matter?"

I sighed. "I'm looking for someone."

"Who?"

"Jesse Neal."

She laughed. "Why are you looking for Jesse Neal?"

"I pretty much fell on him earlier. I thought I should apologize when I wasn't acting like an idiot."

Madison stared at me for what felt like hours when a large smile came on her face. "You think Jesse Neal is hot."

I was really trying not to smile, but I couldn't help it. "He's cute."

She laughed and shoved me. "Wow."

"What?"

"I probably should have found you when you came here. You found someone to flirt with."

"No, he wasn't flirting with me." He was smiling at me a lot and we were laughing, but that didn't mean we were flirting. When I looked up, I noticed Madison's expression and she obviously thought we were. "What?"

"This is awesome," she explained. "I can't wait until you're together. You're cute and he's been single for a while now. I just know you guys are going to be awesome."

"Madison," I muttered. She always knew how to make something much bigger than it actually was. "I just said he was cute."

"Can I set you up?" She gave me a smile. "Please."

I didn't answer her, as I was thinking about what she had said. He's been single for a while now. Jesse Neal was single. I couldn't resist smiling at this. It didn't mean that he was interested in me though. We barely knew each other and I wasn't about to let her start with him.

"Madison," I warned. "Stop."

"No!" she laughed. "This is awesome."

I finally was able to make her stop laughing and we sat down in catering while she obviously began to plan our wedding. She was talking about a date, but I was trying to ignore her. I was really thinking about Jesse and how I was going to find him without Madison knowing. While she was my friend and I loved her, I didn't need her making things awkward when they weren't needed.

"Are you listening to me?"

"No," I told her. She looked at me. "What? At least I was honest. I could have told you I was."

Madison sighed. "Whatever."

"I just want you to leave me alone," I told her. "If I want to talk to Jesse, I will. I don't want you to come after him and scare him. You have a habit of doing that. Look, let's just say he's thinking about me and he wants to talk to me." Her eyes lit up. "I just want to talk to him myself. Madison, please."

She rolled her eyes and nodded. "Fine."

Madison won't listen to her. REVIEW.
