Hello there! I am alive. Just about. Uni is killing me. But in between all my essays, I've managed to write this. I don't know when I'll be able to update again, but I haven't got long left now, so hopefully it will be soon.


She left hospital a week later. In total, she had been there for three weeks. Jordan grimaced as her dad helped her from the car. Although she had been moving around, walking up and down the corridor outside her room, her muscles were still painful.

As they walked up the path to her house, her brother, Jake and her twin sister, Jayne came running out to meet her. "Jord!" When they reached her, they flung their arms around her. "We thought we'd lost you."

Jordan smiled and hugged them back. "I'm fine, guys."

Jake took her other arm and helped her dad get her to the house. It was slow going, because every step she took hurt. Then there was her leg. Stephen had told her the cover story, which was why she had a huge gash in her leg. Jordan understood that their story needed to be realistic, but did it have to hurt so much? The doctor had told her she was lucky it hadn't gotten infected and praised Stephen for keeping it clean.

Stephen. He'd been so good to her. He'd bought her yellow roses everday, sat with her, talked with her, and helped her do her exercises. She wished he would kiss her again, but if he didnt feel that way then she couldnt force him. To be honest, she wasnt surprised that he didnt like her as more than a friend. Very few men ever did. They just saw her as one of the guys.

Her mother had gone ahead to open the door. As soon as she did, Cain shot out. He barked and bounded towards her. She sank to her knees to greet him.

"Hello, baby. Did you miss me?" she cooed, stroking the huskies soft fur.

Jake laughed. "I think they all did."

"Where's DG?" she asked.

"Probably waiting inside," Jayne smiled.

Jordan smiled and got to her feet. It was good to be home.


Stephen stared at Jordan's house. It was not what he expected. It was quite big, with plenty of land from what he could see. A light came on. Jordan walked in. It was the kitchen. She appeared to be talking to someone, but he couldn't see a phone or another person.

Rock music suddenly blast out. He couldnt tell what it was, but Jordan appeared to like it. She was dancing slightly as she moved about the kitched, obviously cooking something. A cat jumped up on the side and Jordan laughed, reaching out to pet it before she picked it up and put it back on the floor. Stephen sighed and walked up to the front door.

She answered almost immediately. "Stephen. Hi."

Stephen stared at her. She was wearing loose jogging bottoms, black, with the WWE logo on the thigh and a tight black tank top. Her hair was pulled back into a messy bun. "Hi. I'm, er...Sorry to drop in like this."

Jordan smiled. "That's okay. Come in, I was just feeding the animals."

"Animals? How many do you have?"

She laughed. "A few. Come and meet them." She pulled him into the kitchen and laughed again at the amazed look on his face. "The two dogs are Cain and DG. The cats are Bella and Isis."

"Are these all the animals you have?"

"Nope. There's a hamster upstairs."

This time is was Stephen's turn to laugh.

"Do you want something to eat or drink? I was thinking about ordering something."

"I don't want to intrude. I just wanted to see if you were okay."

"Dont be silly. Besides, I could use the company."

He smiled and nodded. "I thought your parents would still be here."

She grinned. "I literally had to push them out the door. My dad's already had three weeks off. Josh has had five. So has Jayne. They need to go back. And anyway, I'm fine. Just a bit sore and a bit tired. Come on, I'm gonna order Chinese. I was just about to put a movie on."

He followed her to the living room. It was decorated in red and gold. The setee and chairs looked big and comfortable. She waved him towards them."Have a seat. I just need to find the menu. Do you want to pick a film?"

"What film were you going to watch?"

"I was going to watch Labyrinth."

"What's that?" he asked.

"You don't know? Oh, my god. I must educate you. It's only the best movie in the whole world. David Bowie stars," she grinned.

Stephen laughed and sat down. She put the movie on and then ordered the food. When it turned up, she paid for it and brought it into the living room, where he was engrossed in the movie. They had just finished their food when his phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Stephen." It was Nick. "Stephen, the alarms just gone off. We've got a new anomaly."

"Okay. Where?"

Nick told him. "I don't know whether to call Jordan. I know that she only got out of hospital today."

Stephen glanced at Jordan. She was watching him with a questioning look on her face. "I'm with her now. I'll ask her what she wants to do. I'll be there as soon as I can." He hung up.

"Was that Nick?" she asked.

"Yeah. A new anomaly has opened."

Jordan stood. "I'll get dressed."

Stephen grabbed her arm. "Now hang on a minute. Are you up to this? You've only just got out of hospital. We'll understand if you want to sit this one out."

Jordan was shaking her head before he'd finished. "No, I'm not sitting this one out. I want to be there."

Stephen didn't let go. "Jordan-"

"Stephen," she interrupted gently. "I'll be fine."

He nodded and let go. "You'd better get dressed then."
