So, here comes chapter two, which is Evan Bourne's. I hope you all like it, and please don't forget to let me know what you think!

Chapter 2

Evan Bourne's eyes were glued to the television screen before him as he flicked through the channels, hoping to find something, anything, to distract him... but unfortunately for the young man, no matter what he did, he couldn't quite bring himself out of the depression that he had slowly seeped into during the past few days.

When he'd first become injured, although he'd obviously been unhappy about having to spend time away from what he loved doing, he was quite optimistic about it all... as he usually was, about every aspect of his life.

But over the last forty eight hours, something had begun to change. He wasn't the happy, smiling young man that he usually was. In fact, he couldn't even remember the last time he'd laughed, or smiled.

He heard the familiar beep of his wristwatch, indicating that another hour had passed by, and his eyes flickered down to it with a frown as he realised it was midnight, on the 23rd of December. Christmas Eve was less than a minute away... which was perhaps the main reason behind Evan's sudden change of heart.

This time of year was usually one of celebration for everyone, not just him... but now that he was stuck at home, by himself, it really didn't feel like Christmas at all. All the other houses around him were covered with Christmas lights and fake snow, all of his neighbours full with festive cheer. But him? He couldn't bring himself to be that way. All he really wanted for Christmas was to get back to wrestling, not only because it was his life... but because he missed the people there, too.

Knock, knock.

Evan switched off the television, a frown placed across his features as he waited in silence, wondering if he was possibly hearing things... but when he heard it again, he quickly realised that there was someone at the door.

But at this time, a few short days before Christmas? Who could it possibly be? He knew it wasn't his parents, his mother had called around only a few hours before, making sure that he would be calling around to see them on Christmas Day... and as for everyone else he knew, they'd all be far too busy to think of visiting him.

With a ragged sigh, the young man pulled himself from the couch and slowly made his way to the door, noticing for the first time through the glass that it was beginning to flake with snow. Shaking his head back and forth at the sight, he grabbed a hold of the door handle and yanked it open... stopping completely at who he saw on the other side.

The young, dark haired woman stared back his way, a playful smirk appearing on her lips at the look on his face. She pulled her small jacket a little tighter around her, one of her hands lifting up with a grimace to catch a few snowflakes.

"Surprise," She finally spoke up, shrugging her shoulders his way.

Evan couldn't help but gape, wondering what she was even doing there. She should have been at home by now... or at least, on the way home. Why would she even think to come all this way just to see him?

Not that he wasn't happy that she had. In fact, that smile that he hadn't felt for so long was slowly beginning to grow across his face just from the mere site of her. It had been far too long since he'd gotten to spend quality time with this girl. Of course, he had seen her every now and again when a show had been close to his home town and he'd visited, but with her travelling all over the country with the WWE still, they barely ever got to spend any time together.

"Jodi..." He sighed, finally snapping out of his thoughts. He quickly pulled the young woman inside, out of the cold, and closed the door behind her. He turned around with a grin, not wasting any more time in pulling her in for a tight hug. "Not that I'm not happy to see you... but what are you doing here, babe?"

"Isn't a girl allowed to come and visit her best friend at Christmas time?" She raised a playful eyebrow his way and Evan shook his head in return, his smile beginning to disappear as quickly as it had grown.

Jodi was his best friend... she had been since the moment she'd first photographed him during his debut show on Raw. They'd clicked instantly, and with exception of his injury, had been pretty much inseparable since.

But, to Evan... Jodi wasn't just his best friend.

"You really don't mind waiting for me?" Jodi spoke up, her camera in hand as she adjusted the settings ready for her last photo shoot of the night.

Evan looked down at the dark haired girl's face with amusement, watching as she glared at the camera for not working as she wanted it too. He wondered how he'd never noticed how utterly cute she was when she was frustrated...

Shaking away his thoughts, the young man's eyes found the Divas that were all standing around, waiting for the new photo shoot that they had been told was needed for the website. They were running behind by nearly an hour, due to some of them being late... and although Evan was exhausted and wanted nothing more than to go find some place to eat then head back to the hotel for some sleep, there was absolutely no way he was going to miss a chance to be around some of the most beautiful girls in existence.

"Huh, what do you think?" He asked with a grin, his eyes slowly moving back towards his best friend. She rolled her eyes his way, playfully punching him on the arm, and he chuckled. He pulled out the seat where Jodi usually worked, placing his gym bag down beside it before he took a seat, crossing his arms over his chest and nodding towards the group of women before them. "Go ahead, I'll be right here."

"Thanks, Evan," Jodi smiled down at him, quickly leaning closer to place a kiss on his cheek, before she span around and made her way towards the Divas, filling them in on what she wanted from them all for their photos.

The young man watched on for the next hour as Jodi worked with each of the Divas differently... and as the time progressed, he couldn't quite believe what he was beginning to think.

Rather than concentrating on the gorgeous Divas, posing sexily for the camera... he couldn't take his eyes off his best friend. His gaze stayed locked on her pair of simple, dark blue jeans and white t-shirt, her hair that was pulled up into a messy bun. She barely wore any make-up, she wasn't dressed all flashy like any of the other women around her... but with wide eyes, he realised that didn't matter.

Because no matter how Jodi looked, she was by far the most beautiful woman to him there... the most beautiful woman to him anywhere.

Swallowing the thick lump in his throat, Evan's eyes grew wide as realisation hit him. It had taken him almost an entire year of knowing his best friend to realise this... but now he understood. He knew why he'd always been so protective of her, why he hated when she was around another guy.

Because she wasn't just a best friend. He was in love with her.

After making sure that Jodi was comfortably seated in his living room, Evan quickly excused himself into the kitchen. He pulled out two cups and proceeded to make them both a hot chocolate, knowing that his best friend needed something to warm her up from being stood out in the cold... but not only that, so he could have a few moments to calm himself down, too.

He hadn't expected to be seeing Jodi anytime soon, so when she'd turned up out of the blue, his nerves had been completely shot. Just the thought of her being only a few rooms down made his stomach twist uneasily. He shook his head, an uneven sigh leaving his lips as he wondered how she could possibly have even more of an effect on him now than she had done before.

Sighing to himself, Evan quickly picked up the two drinks and made his way back out of the kitchen, knowing he could only avoid going back to her for so long. All he needed to do was take in a deep breath, and act around her like he always had done before... completely oblivious to his feelings for her.

"What took you so long, mister?" She asked when he finally reached the living room. He smiled down at her as he placed the drinks on the coffee table, trying to think up a solid excuse... but there was really none to use.

"Sorry," He laughed lightly, running a hand through his short dark hair as he took a seat beside her on the sofa. He turned his body her way to get a better view, and his breath caught in his throat. Now that she had taken off her outer layer of clothes, she looked even more beautiful. Her hair was down, falling in silky waves across her shoulders. She had on a pair of tight black jeans and a checked shirt... it was all so her. "You do know that you're crazy right? Calling in here?" He shook his head. Other than 'wanting to see her best friend' she still hadn't given him a valid reason as to why she was there.

"Thanks," She glared back playfully, leaning forward to take a hold of her drink. She took a sip then cupped it in her hands for warmth, turning back to him with a quick shrug, "Well, I was driving pretty close to here to get home, anyway... and besides, I missed you. It isn't the same at work without you, Evan." Jodi added quietly, quickly becoming interested with the tiny marshmallows that floated on top of her drink.

"Hmm..." The young man mumbled, watching the blush that grew across her cheeks intently. He frowned, wondering why she was embarrassed to tell him that she missed him... and then, a thought sudden hit him, nearly sending him to the floor from the force of it. He was probably crazy; to assume this... but could it be possible that she'd driven all that way to see him, that she missed him... because she liked him too? "I missed you too, Jodi... but you didn't have to do that."

"No believe me, I did," She shook her head, placing her cup back down before she span around to look at him. He could tell by the way she wouldn't meet his eyes that she was worried about what she was saying... and he couldn't help but smile at it. She was so beautiful, even more so than he had remembered. "I... I didn't like it, being away from you. I hated it, Evan."

The dark haired man's jaw dropped open at her words. So he had been right... she did feel something for him, too. He had to hide the giddy feeling growing inside of him, even though he desperately wanted to shout out how utterly perfect this moment was turning to the rest of the world.

"Jodi..." He whispered, watching as she slowly lifted her eyes to meet his. He smiled ever so slightly as he inched closer to her, one of his hands lifting to smooth some of her curls, before he gently leaned over and brushed his lips against hers.

He pulled away almost instantly, not wanting to push his best friend... and his eyes frantically searched her face as she stared back his way in shock. He gulped, nerves seeping into him at the thought of being wrong, of picking up on the wrong signals. What if the only reason she didn't like being away from him was because he was only her best friend?

"I, umm... I'm sorry, I..." He stuttered, not being able to find the words he needed through his disappointment. He began to pull away, dropping his hand from her face, knowing that he needed to get away from her before he lost it... but the feel of her small hand taking a hold of his wrist stopped him completely.

He turned back around to face her slowly, frowning in confusion as he looked between her hand and her face... but the smile that was slowly beginning to appear on her lips made him realise what was going on. He hadn't been wrong at all.

"Sorry?" She shook her head, moving closer to him until their faces were only inches apart. She smiled lightly, her eyes locked with his as she bit down on her bottom lip. "Don't you ever be sorry for kissing me," She whispered, before she closed the gap between them for a second time, pressing her lips firmly against his own.

A/N: Okay guys, there you go! It's a little shorter than the first, but I quite liked how it turned out, so hopefully you all will do too. Please don't forget to leave feedback! And up next is Sheamus' chapter. ;)
