Chapter 10

"I don't know why you've been following us around for the last few weeks, but me and Jeff are fed up with it. One match, just you and me. If you win, you get a date with Jeff. That's what you wanted all along in the first place isn't it? And if I win, then you have to leave me and Jeff alone."


Molly shrugged "I don't know what your talking about, but I never back out of a request, name the time and place, I'll be there."

"Then tonight, last match of the night, what do you say?"

"I say, you've got a deal."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"What was that all about?" Edge had come up to Trish after she had spoken out her challenge.

"That's me taking a stand."

Edge leaned back on the wall as he said, "Why have you been accompanying Jeff and not me? I thought we were supposed to be a team."

Trish avoided his gaze. "I meant to speak to you about that….I decided to just stay in Team Extreme for now."

"What?"

"I said…I decided that I want to be in Team Extreme, just with everything that's been going on…."

Edge cut in, not even letting her finish her sentence. "But I thought we were, I mean, I really like you.."

Trish stared up at his eyes. The eyes she had thought she was so in love with, along with everything else about Edge, but all she saw now was a desperate man, trying to get her to forgive something she couldn't.

Edge and her had only been going out for only a few days. Those days had been total bliss, she thought she had finally found the one, the one that would treat her right, someone she could trust. But she found out he was just like all the others.

"I wonder where Edge could be, I did say I wasn't going to be at the arena today but he was supposed to…" Trish looked around the arena, her bag slung over her shoulder. She wasn't supposed to be at the arena at all today but she decided to, to support Edge and to waste some time.

She turned the corner, when she saw Jeff. "Hey Jeff!" She waved him over.

"Hey Trish, what brings you here? I didn't know you had a match scheduled today."

"I don't, I just thought I should come to help Edge out. Do you know where he is?" She asked.

"I think he's in his locker room, but really, I don't think it's a good idea to go in there…"

Trish had a confused look on her face. "Why not?"

"Um well…you might not see anything you might want to see."

"What is that supposed to mean?" She studied Jeff's face, but when she wasn't able to make sense of what he was trying to tell her, simply opened Edge's locker room.

She froze mid-way when she saw Edge pull back from a brown haired woman.

It was Nidia, the one who had just joined WWF only a few short weeks ago.

The one who Trish had helped feel welcome, had gone out of her way to introduce her to everyone, had turned her back on her and backstabbed her by lip-locking with her boyfriend, Edge.

"Sorry if I disturbed you two, just get back to what you were doing," Trish told them dryly before leaving the room, not even bothering to yell at Edge for breaking her heart, one that felt could never be re-mended.

Before that incident had happened, Trish had thought Edge was the most perfect man on earth, but she knew better that a man like that would never exist.

"You liked me enough to cheat on me, geez Edge what a wonderful present."

"We never agreed to go steady…"

"This isn't ninth grade Edge, I thought I didn't need to say it for you to be faithful. This isn't working out, I really like you Edge, or at least I did but I realized when I saw you with her," She still couldn't say Nidia's name without cringing "I realized we would be better off as friends than anything more."

"I already apologized to you about what had happened, I swear, it was only a one time thing, it was a mistake. So what next? You're going to now go off and get with Jeff?" Edge asked angrily.

"No, but just for your information, he makes me feel better than you ever did. Listen, I know deep down inside you're a good person Edge, you're just not ready to be in a relationship right now. I don't want to be just another toy that you play with then get rid of once you get bored, I'm better than that, I know that now. Admit it, you were always in love with Molly, never me, I was just a distraction."

Edge didn't try to convince her other wise, simply nodded, and watched as she joined up with Jeff in the distance.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"You ready for the match Trish?" Jeff asked as he watched Trish catch up with him, Edge in the distance looking none too happy.

"Ready then I've ever been." Trish said, but stopped walking. "But you have to promise me Jeff that you won't interfere."

Jeff agreed reluctantly, he knew Molly would have something dirty up her sleeve, he just didn't know what and hopefully he wouldn't find out.

"Accompanied by Jeff Hardy….Trish Stratus!" The ring announcer introduced her as she walked down the ramp, Jeff by her side.

Trish walked up the small set on stairs and stepped into the ring, waiting for Molly to come out to the ring.

Molly Holly jogged down the ramp, not wasting any time to slide into the ring and start the match.

The bell rang as they locked arms. Trish, though was quickly overpowered by Molly and pushed onto the mat.

Trish moved out of the way just as Molly was about to clothesline her, sticking her foot out so that Molly tripped. She tried to perform a bull dog but Molly reversed causing her to hit her back on the ropes.

Molly hooked her head, ready to finish Trish off with a Molly-go-round, but Trish quickly got out of the hold, pushing Molly off the ropes onto the cement floor. Trish quickly took advantage of the situation, sliding out of the ring and rolling Molly into the ring, before covering her for the three count.

Jeff climbed into the ring, raising Trish's arm in victory. He glanced over at Molly, she seemed strangely calm.

The crowd began to jeer as Crash came rushing down the ramp to help Molly.

He DDTed Trish from behind. Jeff realized that something was wrong when he looked over to see Molly smiling. He turned to see Crash hitting Trish from behind. Anger quickly took a hold on him as he whirled Crash around, kicking him in the mid-section, twist-of-fating Lance.

Jeff dragged Crash to the corner of the ring, motioning to Trish as she slowly made her way back up, he pointed at Crash then to her as he got on the ground.

The crowd went into a frenzy as Trish, with the help of Jeff, did a perfect poetry in motion.

Molly's smile was no longer on her face, but panic. Her cousin was beaten down by Jeff, now there was no one left to help her. She looked around, trying to find an escape, but found none. She tried to run from them but found a strong pair of arms wrapping around her waist, carrying her back into the ring.

I'm going to get you for this.

That was Molly's only thought as she received a Poetry in Motion.

Trish and Jeff embraced in the middle of the ring, celebrating over her win. He picked her up, spinning her around. Trish laughed, the crowd only a blur. Her laughter subsided when she became conscious that her world was no longer spinning, she tilted her head questioningly as she realized he had a serious look on his face.

"Jeff what's.."

Trish never got to finish her question before Jeff's lips were on hers. She was shocked, she didn't even have a chance to think over what was happening before he pulled back. His kiss was light, hesitant, as if he wasn't sure how she would respond. Trish put her hand to her lips, as if to make sure it actually happened.

When several seconds went in silence, Jeff started to apologize profusely. He was furious with himself, he didn't know what made him go and kiss Trish, he just knew he had never felt the way he had when he kissed her.

He got out of the ring, shaking his head in disbelief of what he did.

Jeff felt a light hand on his arm. He spun around to face Trish.


"I'm so sorry Trish, I never should have…"

Trish hushed him as she placed a hand to cover his mouth.

She wrapped her arms around him, leaning in to kiss him.

This is what it should have felt like when I was with Edge.

Note: I know, I know. I wasn't going to put Trish/Jeff together (at least for this chapter) but I decided other wise when my Jeff Hardy fan of a friend (you know who you are! Lol) was saying if I put them together yet, hehe. Please R&R if you have the chance, thanks!
