Matt's Point of View

After thinking calmly and rationally, I decided to head back home instead of heading to Portland two days early. Just because the girl I feel deeply for was banging my brother, doesn't mean I should run out of town. I'll just stay in. I don't have to have any contact with her. I won't say anything, I'll wait for her to say something to me.

But fuck if it didn't hurt me. I pour my heart out to her and she practically stomps on it. And how? By sleeping with Jeff. And it was literally just after she slept with me. Not only that but she loves him. If she loves him, how does she feel about me? Did what little we had mean anything to her? Like at all?

I can't sit here anymore. The silence is driving me crazy. I guess I'll just go and visit dad. Maybe he'll be able to help. Within minutes I was at my dad's house.

"Hey pop." I said as walked up to the porch.

"Son."

Just by the tone of his voice, I knew instantly that he knew what I did to Jeff wasn't planned. Jeff just couldn't wait to tell him. Of course he would, he always wants people to feel bad for him.

"Look dad I-"

"Stop right there Matt. I'm going to talk, and you're going to listen."

Sure I maybe thirty four, but dad is still dad. And no matter how old either one of his sons are, he's still going to give us shit. After all he is dad, its his right. Rather than talk I just nodded. No matter how big I was compared to my dad, he was still scary to talk to when he was mad. He took one more look at me and then continued to talk.

"I brought you up better than that. You know that hitting him with a steel chair won't solve anything. What could have possibly possessed you to do that? Why would you do it? How could you? Did you think?"

All I could do was look down at the ground. He made me feel low. I couldn't look him in the eyes at all. Only dad could do this.

"Well answer me Matthew."

I definitely felt like I was seven years old again. The last time he grilled me like this was after I pushed Jeff off of a swing. But I swear then it was purely accidental.

"How did you know it wasn't scripted?"

"I'm not here to answer your questions. You're here to answer my questions. Why did you do it?" He demanded this time.

"Leila." That was all I could say.

"Leila?" Dad questioned. "You hit your brother with a steel chair because of Leila. My God Matthew! Not only did you ruin your relationship with Jeff, but you also ruined in the one you have with Leila. Now what does she have to do with it?"

"I like her a lot dad." I began. "And I mean a lot. But I didn't know how to tell her. And it was hard with Jeff always there. They were always together." I replied bitterly.

He took a deep breath and looked at me. He just shook his head. Just by that one action I could tell that he was disappointed with me. And this was pretty much the first time in forever.

"And you couldn't sit down and talk to her? Talk to Jeff? Maybe talk about this with them like a mature adult. But no, you terrify the poor girl. No wonder she seemed so distant last night."

"Pop she wasn't terrified. And I know this because she left with me after I did it."

"Doesn't mean she wasn't terrified. She seemed so distant. In fact she wouldn't leave Jeff's side. And what you two did when you left the arena that night, is your business. I don't need to hear about that kind of stuff."

"Last night? She was here last night?" I questioned. "With Jeff?"

"She was. Is that a problem?"

"Yes! Pop she's supposed to be with me. She belongs with me. She belongs to me!" I fumed.

"Now listen here Matt! She is a person. She belongs to herself and no one else. Leila is not a piece of property!" He shouted. "Now get your head out of your ass and apologize to them for what you did."

"I can't do that pop. Not until Jeff learns that he can't get everything he wants."

"I'm disappointed in you. I did not raise you to be like this. Jeff either. You were not taught to hate on anybody. And that includes family. And as for Leila, leave her out of this. She has nothing to do with it."

"She has everything to do with it!"

"Don't be selfish. Go talk to them like a mature adult."

I ignored his last comment. If Jeff wasn't at my house, and he wasn't here, then where did he go? Please tell me he's at Shannon's place.

"Where's Jeff?"

"He's staying at Leila's place."

That's it! I was pissed. It was one thing to catch them together in bed. But to find out he was staying there pissed me off. That goes to show that he always gets what he wants. Not only that, he gets away with it. They could have slept together a lot in the last day or so. The two of them were probably fucking like rabbits.

"Whatever pop. I got to go."

"You're a dumb ass son. But I say that with love. Now don't go and do something stupid. You know better than that."

Without another word I walked away. I rolled my eyes, I love my dad, but he just didn't understand. He was an only child growing up, so he didn't have to go through what I'm going through. He never had to fight for the spotlight like I do.

Before I head on home, I have a couple of more stops to make. Let me just make sure she's home. Without another thought I decided to call Beth. She can help. Once I make the stop at her house, I'll make a stop somewhere else. That one would be the last one. The best one.

Leila's Point of View

Jeff had left about an hour ago. He looked so sullen when he left, I hope he's fine. I'm so dumb, I should have followed him. Who knows what is wrong? Or what he could do? I have complete and total faith in Jeff. But its just that I love him so much, I have to worry.

Just like I was always there for him, he was always there for me. Like when John and I broke up, just like I was there for him, he was there for me. I thought he was going to go crazy when I came to him the night John and I broke up.

February 2007

"You're pregnant?"

"Yeah I am John?" I replied, all my excitement fading.

"Are you sure?"

"Positive. Would you like for me to show you the pregnancy test?"

"You don't have to show me the test." He snapped. "I believe you. How far along are you?"

"I went to the doctor's today. I'm about a month and a half in."

"Who's the father?"

I stared at him in disbelief. Was he really asking me this? If anything, I don't cheat. I'm faithful. I can't believe he's actually asking me this. This wasn't John, not the same John I fell in love with. He seemed so dark, cold, and distant. The only time he was like this was, actually never. Something is definitely bothering him.

"You are." I said. "Who else would there be?"

"Jeff Hardy." He muttered.

"Jeff Hardy?" I laughed. "Well you're dead wrong. Jeff is only my friend. You know it is possible for guys and girls to be friends without having sex."

"I know that." He said. "But not you and Jeff."

I glared at him. "Are you accusing me of cheating?"

"Yeah I am." He replied without any hesitation.

What the hell was wrong with him? He would never say this to me. There had to be something else. John was too sweet of a guy to do this to anyone.

"You're an asshole. You know that? I would never cheat on you. This baby is yours and no one else's. Jeff Hardy is not in the picture at all!" I snapped.

"Leila! You're always together. And when you're not with him, you're either talking about him or texting him. Call me crazy, but that would make me think you're cheating on me."

"John this doesn't sound like you. In fact you get along with both Hardy brothers. Why would you dislike Jeff all of a sudden?"

"Since you might be pregnant with his child."

I couldn't take it anymore. He was really pissing me off. John knew I would never cheat on him. There was another reason. Just as I was about to say something his phone rang. Because I right next to his phone, I got to it before he could. My heart instantly sank when I saw who was calling. Without thinking I chucked his phone at his head.

"You son of a bitch!" I shouted through my tears. "All night I've been wondering why you've been so distant. I've been wondering why you would think I was cheating on you. Why you would think that this baby isn't yours. I just now figured it out. That bitch has been putting all these lies in your head. Not only that, but you've been cheating on me. You're questioning whether or no I'm cheating, yet you've been fucking Liz. You've been cheating on me with your ex-fiancé."

"But you've been with Jeff this whole time."

"No I haven't! He is only my friend! That's it." I screamed. How could I make it clear to him? Why can't he understand the words that are coming out of my mouth.

"I can't do this Leila." He said. "You and I, not with Jeff in the picture."

"What about Liz?"

"I'll leave Liz behind, if you leave Jeff behind."

Was he really asking me to do this? I couldn't leave Jeff behind. He was too much apart of me. If I lose him, I lose apart of myself.

"I can't do that."

"Then I can't do us. I'll be there for the baby. But other than that, we can't be together like that. I love you."

I just looked down at the ground. I didn't bother responding or looking up at him one last time. Once I heard the front door close, I knew John was out of my life.

The tears were still spilling down my face as my hands fell to my stomach. What could I do about my baby? John's baby? I can't have the baby. There is no way I want to bring a baby into a broken relationship. I want my child to have a normal family. Actually, I could always have the baby and give it up for adoption. But I wouldn't be able to do that, I would be too attached to the baby by then. There was always the idea of an abortion. Would I be able to do it?

I can't be alone anymore. More importantly I don't want to be alone anymore. Without any hesitation I called Jeff. If there was anyone I could talk to right now, it was him. After two rings he answered.

"Hello?"

"Hey Jeff." I replied. "Can you please come over? I really need you."

"I'll be right over." He said and quickly hung up the phone.

He can't know about the baby. So I won't mention that I'm pregnant at all. I better throw the pregnancy test out before he gets here. Which will be soon because Jeff drives like a lunatic.

Just as I threw the pregnancy test out, I heard Jeff rush into the house. Before I walked out of the kitchen, I wiped away my tears.

"Leila!"

Without another thought I walked out of the kitchen and followed his voice into the living room. He took one look at me and pulled me in for a hug. Instantly my arms wrapped around him and I held him tightly. He kissed the top of my head.

"What happened Leila?"

Just thinking about it brought tears to my eyes. We stood there for a couple of minutes in silence. The only sound in the room was me crying into his chest.

"John and I are done." I cried into his chest.

He hugged me tighter. We stood there until I cried it all out. It was then that Jeff asked me what happened. Once we sat down, I told him everything that happened. Well not everything. He doesn't know about the baby.

"So he had the nerve to say you were cheating on him, but yet he was cheating on you with his ex-fiancé!" Jeff fumed. He then got up and headed towards the front door. "I'll kill him!"

Instantly I shot up and ran after him. I wasn't going to let Jeff go to jail for me. I got to the door before him. He needs to calm down.

"Please don't leave. I need you here." I pleaded looking up at him.

"You're protecting him." Jeff snapped.

"I am not protecting him Jeff. All I want right now is for you to be here with me. Beating him up won't make things any better for me."

"You still love him." He stated.

I looked down at the ground. What kind of a question was that? Sure John and I just broke up. Its still fresh. Of course I still love him.

"Of course I still love him. Its hard for me not to Jeff." I said through my tears.

Jeff lifted my face so that my gaze was no longer on the floor, but up in his eyes. He felt for me, but he wasn't quite sure of what to say to me.

"Look." He said with his southern accent shining through."I understand that you still love him. The break up is still fresh. But you have to forget about him. If he was stupid enough to cheat on you, and to leave you, then he doesn't deserve you. This all happened for a reason."

I wanted to scream and just hit things. And did me getting pregnant happen for a reason? Did it happen so that we could have a reason to break up?

"How did you make it after your break up with Beth?" I asked crying.

He smiled down at me. "Easy. I have you."

"Do I have you?"

"Always."

I wiped away my tears. Having Jeff here helped me a little bit. I know I won't be over John right away, but at least I have Jeff with me.

"Come one lets get away from the doorway." I whispered."I just want to go upstairs and sleep. I'm exhausted."

Quietly the two of us headed up the stairs to my room. I opened the door to my room and we slipped inside.

"Jeff, stay with me tonight." I mumbled.

Without responding he turned me around and gently pressed his lips to mine. This can't be happening. Its not supposed to be happening. However, I found myself kissing back. This felt good.

We pulled away from each other long enough to take each others clothes off. Before either one of us knew it our lips were crashing together once again. My hands were raking through his rainbow hair. A low moan escaped from my lips. Soon I was laying on my back on the bed, with Jeff kissing down my neck. For the next few hours, Jeff was making me feel better.

The memory of that night made me melt. Just thinking of the way Jeff touched me that night, made me all tingly inside. The next day Jeff and I woke up and we decided we wanted sex without dating. And thus our fuck buddy situation began.

Jeff never did find out I was pregnant. As if by fate, in the two weeks that Jeff and I weren't talking, I unfortunately suffered a miscarriage. In fact he still doesn't know that I was pregnant at the time. Part of me wants to tell him, but I'm scared. Its just more or less his reaction I'm afraid of. One day soon I'll tell him. He can't be kept in the dark much longer. But it still doesn't mean I'm not afraid of his reaction.

Where could Jeff be? He's been gone a long time. I'll just call him. Just as I was about to grab my phone, I heard the kitchen door open.

"Thumper is that you?"

I got no response. So rather than wait for one, I just turned around. I was expecting to see Jeff, but nope, it wasn't him.

"What are you doing here?"

Jeff's Point of View

I've been walking around for the longest time. The whole phone call from Beth totally threw me off. But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't curious. I was really curious. So rather than call her back, I decided to go and see her. Who knows? Maybe it was nothing. But for some reason I felt like I was doing the wrong thing.

After debating for about twenty minutes, I finally made it to Beth's house. After this I'll never have any contact with her. I knocked on the door and waited patiently for her to answer the door.

"Uh hey Jeff." She said surprised. "Come in."

As soon as she moved aside, I walked into her apartment. Everything still looked the same. Beth wasn't really big on change. In fact she still looked the same.

"Hey Beth."

"Look I really wasn't expecting you to come by. Was there anything you needed?"

"I wasn't really expecting to come by either. But I saw that you called. So I decided to swing by and see what was up."

She bit her lower lip and nodded. "Yeah I did call. I heard you were clean. And I was just calling to make sure."

"Calling to make sure? If I remember correctly, you left me high and dry. But just so you know I am clean."

She smiled. "That's great. I knew we could do it!"

Hold up a minute. Did she just say 'we'? This girl has really gone crazy. What 'we' was there? She left when I needed her most. I'll be damned if she thinks she's going to take credit for what Leila helped me with.

"We? Beth there was no 'we'. You left me. Remember? The only 'we' there was, was just me and Leila. That doesn't include you at all."

"Leila." She sneered. "That girl is still around? I would have thought she would have been gone by now."

"Nope. Unlike you, she's there for people. She doesn't desert people when they need help. She's a caring person."

"Look Jeff, I didn't call you so that we can fight. The reason why I called you is because I want you back. I want another shot at us."

Its official. I'm a dumb ass. I should have just left everything alone. It was a huge mistake for me to come here.

"Not happening. We're done. I'm in love with Leila. I don't want you anymore. I'm over you. In fact I've been over you for a long time now."

"There you go again. You talk about her like she's the most perfect person in the world. Did you know that she was pregnant with John's baby when they broke up?"

She was pregnant with John's baby when they broke up? That can't be true, she would have told me. By now I'm really confused.

"Judging by the look on your face, I'm going to say that you never knew."

"That's bullshit!" I shouted.

"You don't believe me? Then go ask her. I was her nurse when she miscarried." She said. "Go on, ask her." Beth challenged.

Not being able to take it anymore, I just got up and headed towards the door.

"Oh Jeff, there's one more thing."

I turned around to face her. That was a big mistake on my part. Because as soon as I did, she crashed her lips to mine. But what scared me the most, was that I didn't stop her. I kept going. Soon the kiss slipped into something further. But as Beth and I continued to go further, I couldn't help but think about how big of a mistake I was making.

Matt's Point of View

Here I was at my final stop. I had just left Beth's house. As of right now our plan was in motion. Jeff had just reached her house. I had a pretty good idea of what was going to happen. After all Beth was a pretty girl. Not only that, but she was good in bed. There's no need to wonder why Jeff was with her for eight years straight.

Here I was at Leila's house. Rather than go the front door I decided to use the kitchen door. Her back was facing the door. Carefully I walked into the kitchen. Her back stayed towards the door.

"Thumper is that you?"

Thumper? Was Thumper supposed to be Jeff? Well obviously since he was the only one staying with her. I was just about to respond when she turned around. Her look of excitement faded to one of shock.

"What are you doing here?"

"Am I not allowed over?"

"No its not. I wasn't expecting you. Last time we talked you had to head up to Phoenix for a Smackdown taping."

"That is true." I began. "However I finished early, so I decided to head home." I paused again."I tried calling you, but I guess you were too busy to notice."

At this point she began to walk away from me. She was freaking out, I could tell. She wasn't supposed to be afraid. It was only me.

"Matt can you just go. Jeff will be home soon."

Oh how wrong she was. It would be a while before Jeff got home. Beth and I made sure of that. Let's just hope this all works.

I laughed. "That's cute Leila. But it will be a while before Jeff gets back. You see on the way here, I saw him heading into Beth's place."

The look on her face went from one of fear to one of hurt. Just by the look on her face I could tell she was thinking. She didn't want to believe me, but I could tell she did. Awesome, things were going according to plan.

"You're lying?" She said through gritted teeth.

My look went from one of deception to one of sincerity. Carefully I walked up to her and pulled her in for a hug.

"I wish I was Leila. But I'm not. I saw him walk into her place."

"I'm so stupid. I should have known this might happen."

"You're not stupid Leila. Don't ever let me hear you say something like that."

Rather than say anything she just looked up at me. Without another word she kissed me. While she was kissing me, she was unzipping my jeans. Before I knew it we were both naked and going at it. As I put her up on the counted, I couldn't help but smile. My plan was working. But little did I know, it would all come back and bite me in the ass.

Leila's Point of View

I can't believe I just did that. This was not getting better. In fact it was all getting worse. Beth was now back in the picture. And not only that I just slept with Matt. And to make things worse, I'm the one that started it.

That's just one thing that I was mad about. I was also mad at Jeff. Why would he go back to Beth? Why? I just want to know why he would go back to her after she left him. All I know is that Jeff better get home soon. We really need to talk.

"You okay Leila?"

"I'm fine Matt. You should get going, its getting late."

"You're right." He gave me one last kiss and then ducked out the kitchen door.

As soon as he left I ran to go and take a shower. I feel so dirty right now. I'm caught between two brothers. And I happen to be in love with one of them. And I'm well on my way to falling for the other. All I know is that I better put an end to this before we all get hurt.

Beth's Point of View

Matt was one smart guy. If we worked together, he could get Leila, and I could get Jeff. Not only that, but Matt was good in bed too. Must be in the genetics.

But I honestly forgot how good it felt to have Jeff in my bed. I wish I could be with him right now, but no, he had to take a shower. He said as soon as he was done, he was heading back home to her. What did she have that I didn't have?

"I'm going now." He snapped.

Without another word, Jeff walked out of my house like a bat out of hell. He was dead wrong if he thought he had heard the last of me.

Jeff's Point of View

I can't believe I just did that. From the get go I should have followed my gut instinct. I shouldn't have gone over there. If I hadn't gone over there, then I wouldn't feel so dirty.

Not only am I mad about that, I'm also mad at Leila. Why didn't she tell me she was pregnant with John's baby at the time of their break up? What would have been the big deal? Maybe she didn't know. But now that I think about it, she did keep dropping her hands down to her stomach a lot. At the time I thought it was because of nerves. Turns out she was pregnant. Then she had to have known. The first chance I get, I'm going to confront her about everything.

As soon as I walked through the front door, I went looking for her. The whole downstairs is quiet and empty. Which means she is upstairs.

So I run up the steps and into her room. I was about to say something to her, but then I got completely thrown off. There she was, wrapped in a towel, dripping wet.

All of a sudden I forgot what I wanted to talk to her about. Any anger I had for her when I first got home had diminished.

"Jeff-"

But she never got to finish her sentence. My lips crashed to hers. Instantly she kissed me back. I pulled away from her.

"Don't say anything." I whispered.

She nodded. Without another thought I picked her up and carried her to the bed. I just had to erase what happened today. All I wanted was to do was be with Leila. She stripped me of my clothes and I stripped her of her towel.

Carefully I placed myself in between her legs. I looked down at her and I just then realized how much I love her. Wow, I feel like a jackass.

"I love you no matter what Leila."

"I love you no matter what Jeff."

As soon as she said that I began to show her how much I love her. The payback I had in mind for her actions earlier today would have to wait. There were more important things to worry about.

Leila's Point of View

As soon as I saw Jeff all my anger went away. We would talk later. It could all wait until later.

"I love you no matter what Leila."

"I love you no matter what Jeff."

As soon as he said that, he showed me just how much he loved me. The events of today would have to wait until tomorrow. But for now I want to salvage whatever love Jeff and I have tonight. I don't know if it'll be there tomorrow.
