When Adam stopped for a drink and they both got out Misty made sure they weren't watching and got in the driver's seat to find the keys were still there. She smiled an evil grin and laughed as she started the car and pulled away from the gas pump. She parked behind the station and walked around to the corner to see what was going to happen. It was time to get them back for the crap that they pulled on her to get her in the car with them. She watched closely as Jeff first and then Adam walked out of the store.

"Where did we park?" Jeff asked Adam.

"By the last gas pump." Adam said to him.

"Tell me you didn't leave the keys in the car." Jeff said when they couldn't find the car.

"I might of." Adam said to him.

"I think she left without us." Jeff said to him.

"She wouldn't." Adam said as she slipped back and headed for the car.

"I think that we pissed her off." Jeff said to them as the car pulled around from behind the store and stopped in front of them.

"I may be a bitch but I wouldn't make Jeff walk all that way having to deal with your ass all day." She said as she opened the passenger door for Jeff.

Jeff got in and looked at Adam. "Looks like you are in the back seat."

"No way. I drive and that is the way it always is." Adam said to him.

"Then walk." Misty called to him before she went to take off.

Adam got in the back seat really fast and closed the door before she took off down the road. "I thought that you would see it my way. Plus just think I can get us there faster then you because I know this area better than you. After all this is where I grew up. Now sit back and get ready for one hell of a ride." She said before she turned down a dirt road and sped up.

Jeff looked at Misty and saw a smile on her lips and he wondered why she liked driving so much. "So you grew up around here?"

"Was born and raised a southern Bella. Can't you tell?" She asked and then laughed.

"Can you slow down some?" Adam asked from the back seat.

"Nope in fact I'm about to go faster." She said before she sped up faster and laughed again.

Jeff looked back at Adam and they both smiled as she laughed again before she stopped and looked at the water that was right in front of them. "Hey Adam do you remember this place?"

Adam looked out at the water and smiled. "Yes I do."

"I didn't think that you would." She said to him.

"Kinda hard not to since this was the first place we done the deed at." He said to her and she spun around and looked at him.

"No this isn't that place. This is where I took you to meet my family remember?" She asked him.

Adam didn't say anything and she shook her head. "It doesn't matter really. I just thought that you would remember a moment before her."

Jeff looked at her and saw that the smile was gone and the look of hate was back. So far it wasn't going good for them. "Why don't you take us to your mom's place?"

"Adam isn't welcomed there any longer. After they found out that it was real it was told to me that if he ever stepped foot in that yard she would shoot him. Hey yeah why not that would be fun right about now." She said with a wink to Jeff.

"Let's not be hasty here. I know that I did a really fucked up thing to you and I am sorry Misty. I have been sorry since I done it I just wasn't man enough to tell you before." He said to her.

"Don't you get it Adam Sorry doesn't cut it anymore." She said as she backed up and turned around.

"Then what will it take to get you to be the way that you use to?" Adam asked her.

"This storyline sounds like it's a start." She said to him and he looked at Jeff who was smiling.

"I have to admit you haven't been a big bitch today." Jeff said to her.

"If you weren't the one that said it I would have hit you. But that is because I didn't get enough sleep to be a bitch. You know it takes a lot of energy to be a bitch." She said to him.

Jeff looked at her and he could tell that she was telling the truth about it taking a lot of energy. "So why do you do it then?"

"Why shouldn't I?" She asked him.

"I don't get it. If you don't want to be then why do you?" He asked her.

"I never said that I don't want to be I just said it takes a lot of energy. I do it because it keeps my heart safe." She said to him and he looked at her again.

"You may think that it is safe but it isn't because you are hurting it too." He said to her and she glared at him.

"Just stop." She said to him as she drove them back to the main road about twenty miles away from they started.

"Damn girl you know your way around pretty well don't you?" Jeff asked her.

"I have to you know." She said before she pulled into traffic and sped up before she got hit.

"Hey you just cut off Matt and Evan." Jeff said with a laugh.

"I know." She said as she watched the traffic in front of her.

"You really aren't that bad of a driver." Adam said from behind her and she glanced up at him in the mirror.

"Thanks." She said to him before she looked back at the road.

"Wake me up when we get there." He said to her and Jeff nodded to him.

At The Hotel….

Jeff got out and Misty smiled before she cut the car off turned on the radio and turned it up as loud as it would go. She got out leaned in and turned on the car before she jumped back and rolled with Jeff as Adam jumped up when the open bars to Puppet Master came on in the car. They were rolling as he got out of the car and looked at them. "I'm going to kill you for this one Misty."

"How do you know that it was me?" She asked him with a frown.

"Easy Jeff knows better." He said to her and she rolled her eyes.

"Then bring it on Adam I thought that it was good pay back." She said to him before she grabbed her bags and went into the hotel.

Jeff followed with his bags as Adam cussed under his breath and what she did to him. She knew that he would have a headache for a little while and that was fine with her. "So are you going to go see your family while you are here?"

"I was thinking about it." She said to him.

"Could I go with you?" He asked her.

"Why would you want to do that?" She asked him as she made it to the desk.

"Misty Miles." She said and the lady nodded as she checked for the name.

"Misty Miles and Jeff Hardy right here. You have double beds." She said as she held out the two key cards.

Both her and Jeff grabbed one and looked at the number. "Room 424."

"Thank you." Misty said as she slipped her a twenty.

"No thank you." The woman said to her as she put it in her pocket.

"That was nice of you." Jeff said to her.

"Should I go and take it back so I can still be a bitch?" Misty asked him sarcastically?

"No I just thought that was very nice of you." He said to her and she rolled her eyes.

"I'm nice until pushed and that is what no one gets. They push me so I'm a bitch. If they were nice then I would be nice too." She said to him knowing that it wasn't always true.

"Not true. I'm nice to you and you aren't always nice to me." He said to her as they made it to the elevators.

"That is because you are different. I want you to stay away from me so I don't hurt you." She said to him and he looked at her. It was the first time that she told him the truth and he didn't know what to say to that.

When the elevator opened she got in and waited for him before she pushed the number four button. "Why don't you want to hurt me?"

"Just let it go I'm not in the mood to share anymore." She said to him.

"I didn't know that you were sharing." He said to her.

"I don't talk that much Jeff so you should have known that something was up." She said to him right before the elevator stop and opened up.

"Fuck I thought they fired her." Randy said to Cody.

"Sorry to disappoint boys but I'm here to stay." She said to him before she walked past him and down the hall to find their room.

"What the hell was that about she didn't say or do anything to you?" Jeff asked him and Randy looked at him shocked.

"She didn't have to do or say anything. She is here isn't she?" Randy said to him.

"That doesn't give you reason just to fucking treat her like crap in fact you guys use to be friends. I don't understand any of you. I can't believe that she was right but I see now that she was. That was why she wasn't fired by the way because she doesn't cause the problems she ends them and she will end yours if you don't fucking stop it." Jeff growled to him before he walked the way Misty did and found the room that they were in.

When he walked in he saw her as she wiped her eyes and he knew that she wasn't as cold as she like to put on. "Are you ok?"

"I'm fine." She said to him and he knew that she wasn't. There was no fine for Misty and he now knew that.

"If you want to talk all you got to do is say so." He said to her and she laughed.

"I don't want to talk. I want to go and get drunk." She said to him and he knew that was he answer for everything.

"How about we go and see your family?" He asked her and she looked at him.

"Why so they can tell me how much they miss the old me? Or have mom tell me that I need to get over it. I don't even know why I am like this anymore. All I know is that he helps keep the pain away and that is all that matters to me. I don't want to see them." She said to him.

"Then come get something to eat with me." He said to her and she looked at him.

"Why are you doing this Jeff?" She asked him.

"Because I want my friend back. And if you will let me I will be your friend. I won't hurt you Misty that I promise you." He said to her.

"Fine we can go and get something to eat but I don't want to talk. I just want to eat. I'll show you the best place in town." She said to him and he nodded.

"I'm going to change and freshen up. Then we go and get the keys from asshole. I know just where I am going to take you." She said to him and he nodded as she went to her bags and pulled out a dress.

Jeff watched as she went into the bathroom and smiled. He hasn't seen her wear a dress in years so this was going to be a nice change for her. He quickly got changed into a pair of different pants and shirt before she got out of the bathroom so he didn't have to go in there to change. "I'll get to her before she knows what is going on." He said to himself.

Misty was in the bathroom looking at herself in a mirror. There was only one reason she was wearing a dress and that because she was stopping somewhere that she hasn't been in a while. She was going to see her Grandmother. The only one that didn't judge her for how she has change. The only one that she still treated well. Jeff better feel lucky because not even Adam has met her grandmother. He ruined it before he had a chance to.

As she watched herself in the mirror she reached up and pulled her hair out of the pony tail and let it fall in waves down her back and past her ass. It was the only thing that she was proud of having anymore. Her hair was the one thing that she really took care of thanks to her mother beating it into her hair when she was a kid. "Are you almost done in there?"

"I'll be out in a moment." She called back and grabbed her traveling clothes.

When she walked out of the bathroom Jeff looked at her and smiled. "You look great."

"Thank you." She said to him as she put her clothes away and grabbed her brush.

"I'll be ready in a moment." She said to him and he nodded as she dug through her bags for a pair of shoes.

When she found the high heels that she wanted she sat down on the bed and put them on. "I have to stop somewhere before we go eat."

"Ok." He said to her and she smiled.

After she brushed her hair and stood up she looked at him. "How do I look?"

"You look great." He said to her and she smiled again.

"Thank you for this Jeff. I feel normal for the first time in a long time." She said to him as she grabbed the key card and slid it into her bra.

"You know that you don't have to do that I can take mine." He said to her and she smiled.

"I know but old habits are hard to break." She said as she grabbed her purse and looked at him.

"Are you ready?" She asked him.

"I sure am." He said to her and she smiled.

"You look nice. You didn't have to change though." She said to him as they walked to the door.

"I know that but I felt a little out classed when I saw that dress." He said to her and she shook her head.

"Sorry about that I don't want you to feel out classed." She said to him and he laughed.

When they walked out of the room Matt whistled to Jeff and he waved. "Hey little brother who is the hottie?"

Misty turned and looked at him and the smile got bigger. "You are look great today Misty."

"Thank you Matt. I hope you don't mind that I stole your brother away from you." She said to him and he shook his head.

"Nope he's in very good hands so there is no need to worry about him. Show him what you can do Misty I know that he would like it." Matt said to her and she smiled.

"I know that he would like it but that isn't what this is about. After all we are just rooming together for the story line." She said to him.

"So where are you two off to?" Matt asked as he walked towards them.

"I got somewhere to go then to get something to eat. You want to come?" Misty asked him.

"Sure if you don't mind." He said to both of them.

"Hell no." Jeff said to him and Misty nodded.

"I wouldn't have offered if it bothered me. This way we can take your car and I won't have to ask Adam for the keys. I don't want to talk to him right now." She said to him.

"Using me for my car now that hurts." He said to her and she laughed.

"You don't have to come." She said to him.

"Nope coming after all you know the places around here so you know where there is good food." He said to her.

"So true." She said as they started to head to the elevators.

"Damn look at that ass." Someone called from behind them and Misty turned to see that it was CJ.

"Take a good look because you won't be getting it." She called back to him.

"Oh I don't mind as long as I get to watch you walk away." He called back to her.

"Chris behave." Jeff told him and he laughed.

"Tell Misty to behave. I haven't seen her in a dress in years." Chris called to him and Jeff shook his head.

The moment that Misty put on the dress it was like she was back to her old self. She was even smiling and talking to Matt like they were old friends. It was good to see her like that. It made him feel like they were getting somewhere with everything. But it was short lived when the elevator doors opened and Mark stood there with his bags. "Well, look at this the Ice Queen is dressed up today. What are you doing going to go hook so you can get some dick?"

Jeff felt the moment that Misty got pissed. So he stepped in before she could say anything. "It seems to me that you are pissed that you aren't the one dicking her up so shut the fuck up and get the hell out of the way."

Misty looked at him taken back but a smile graced her lips once more. "Yeah what the hell is your problem Mark she hasn't done not one thing to you or anyone else?" Matt asked him and Mark looked at them both shocked.

Mark didn't say anything before he walked out of the elevator and bumped right into her sending her crashing to the floor. "Oops looks like trash always ends up where it belongs."

Jeff and Matt looked at him shocked as Misty stood up and took a starting run towards Mark before she tackled him to the floor. Mark rolled over when she got up and backed away. "You're right trash always ends up where it belongs and you are the proof."

"I'm going to kick your ass for this!" He growled as he got up.

"Then do it Mark after all that is what you been wanting to do for years now isn't it? The moment I turned you down you decided that you were going to make my life a living hell and you have done so. You should be so proud of yourself because you are a big part of the reason I am the way I am. You and almost everyone else. So shut up and fucking do it already. Make yourelf proud by beating on a woman that you out weight by more then a hundred pounds. That would make you so fucking proud wouldn't it?" She asked him as the tears started in her eyes.

"None of you ever asked me if I was ok? None of you asked me if I needed to talk. It was all about them. It was always about them. But me I was in the background watching night after night as my heart got torn out and crushed over and over again. Did any of you care? No you didn't and I called you friends. I called you family and none of you gave a shit. So do it crush me because we both know that you can and will. DO IT!" She screamed at him and he was taken back by the way she was acting.

Jeff and Matt rushed to her side and grabbed her as she hit the ground on her knees. Jeff looked at Mark and saw something that he hadn't seen before regret and it made him realize that everyone played a part in the change in Misty. All of them did and they don't even know it. "Are you happy now?"

Mark didn't say anything as he grabbed his bag and walked away without saying anything. Misty stayed on her knees as the tears poured down her face for the first time in five years. Jeff sat down beside her and pulled her into his lap. "Everything is going to be ok."

"How can you say that? I am a total wreck and worthless. You shouldn't care about me. No one else does." She whispered as the tears slid down her face.

"That isn't true. Matt let's get her to the room." Jeff said as he picked her up in his arms and stood up with the help of his brother.

"I want to be myself again I just don't know how." She said to him and he sighed.

"Don't worry we will get you there you better believe it." Jeff said to her as Matt nodded.
