I woke up when I felt the the left side of the bed shift. I opened my eyes and immediately regretted it. Ohhhh my head hurts! I felt a pounding behind my eyes. I quickly slammed a pillow over my head when I heard a deep chuckle. Someone had just gotten out of bed with me. Great now that means I have to look and see who it is. I slowly lifted the pillow up, then even slowly opened one of my eyes. Shannon was pulling on a t-shirt. Such a shame to cover up all of that muscle I sighed shaking my head. He looked over at me, trying to see if I was awake I guess. I sat up so I could tell him goodbye. He saw how bad my head hurt and actually came and sat down by me in the bed. He wrapped his arms around my shoulder.I snuggled up against him. He leaned down and kissed the top of my head.

"You getting ready to leave?" His lips were still rested on the top of my head so I felt him nod. "We'll I guess I'll see ya." His lips came off of my head and he pulled me to look at him.

"I have to go to work, I'll be back in a couple of days I promise darlin'. You have my cell number I'll call you every time I get the chance which will be often. Don't be sad." I shook my head trying to play it off.

"Honey I've lived without you before besides we're just friends right?" He shrugged.

"If you say so, we need to have a talk about things when I get home." I sighed. This was it, the big 'talk'. I looked at him and he pushed my bangs out of my face. He was going to kiss me. My stomach started to do flips. He leaned in, should I lean back? What do I do? I don't think there's a one-oh-one on what happens when the friend you used to pick on when you were kids is now a grown man and way hotter and now is trying to kiss you. His lips were mere centimeters from mine and the door burst open and in came Jeff. Shannon pulled back from me rolling his eyes getting off of the bed. I could tell he was pissed about something but I couldn't come out and ask him. Jeff came in and plopped down on the end of the bed.

"You almost ready Shan?" He nodded. I reached my arm out and latched on to his right arm. I was half way out of the covers now. He grinned and came over and gave me a huge hug. I squeezed him tightly.

"Gonna miss you punk." He kissed the top of my head.

"I have to go, I'm really glad you came back Faith don't know if I told you so I'm telling you now." I nodded and buried my face deep into his neck.

"Okay seriously when did you start smelling so good?" He chuckled and dug through his bag and tossed a bottle at me.

"Take care of it while I'm gone." I laughed and he kissed my forehead this time making skin to skin contact. Jeff got off of the bed and walked to the door and looked over his shoulder at Shannon. Shannon leaned down and planted a kiss on the tip of my nose.

"Bye Faith," I smiled and waved at him. He seemed uneager to leave but he had to go. I tried not to watch him leave out the door but my eyes simply wouldn't turn away. My tired and achy body even made its way out of the warm bed and made its way to the window of its own will. I stood there wrapped up in the comforter staring out the window as Jeff, Matt, and Shannon all exited the house and entered Jeff's black convertible. Shannon turned around and glanced up at the bedroom window and grinned when he seen me so I did something he wasn't expecting- I blew him a kiss which he caught like a nerd and rubbed it on his lips. I rolled my eyes and he got into the car. God I'm going to miss him.

After I watched the car leave the driveway and go down the street I crawled back into bed and snuggled up to a pillow as my thoughts started to wander. Shannon was in a story line with Jimmy Wayne Yang but that wasn't going too hot but then again a little exposure was better than none. I wonder why the WWE doesn't see what amazing talent they have in him. I sighed and shook my head, which caused my head to pound. That's it I'm taking a few aspirin and going back to bed. Maybe then I will feel better. I reluctantly got out of the bed, which reminds me...where in the hell am i? I guess I'll figure it out shortly. I sat the comforter back on to the bed and noticed I was just in my shirt and underwear. I shrugged as I looked down, no one was here Jeff left to take Shannon and Matt to the airport. So I strutted to the door when my phone rang.

~Well I've been saved by the grace of southern charm I've got a mouth like a sailor and your's is more like a hallmark card~

I sighed and made my way to the night stand. I knew it was just a text message but I still needed to check and see who it was from. I managed to trip over the foot of the bed which caused me to dance around holding my shin and cursing very loudly. I finally reached my phone as I walked with a limp and a pounding head ache. I opened the message and it was from Shannon.

~Wish u culda came wit me~ I smiled and immediately texted back.

~aww u miss me already?~ I grinned and carried the phone down stairs with me to search aimlessly for some tylenol. It didn't take long for him to text me back.

~girl I missed u in the driveway. hard to believe tht im startin to like a girl who used to take pride in pickin on me~ I laughed out loud as I walked into the kitchen. I was so absorbed into writing Shan back that I didn't notice that there was someone else in the kitchen with me.

~come on me and Autumn werent that bad besides Shane was able to get over it so u should too !~ I exited out of my messages and started digging through the cabinets.

"Wow I never would have thought...you and Matt?" I turned as I heard a female voice. It belonged to Beth, she was sitting at the table drinking a cup of coffee. I blushed and shook my head.

"No its not like that with Matt and I he's always been like my big brother in a way steering me into the right direction when I needed it." She lightly chuckled as she stared down into her coffee.

"Well you know the best relationships are built on a strong friendships." I shook my head laughing-if you only knew.

"Yeah to be honest we all got smashed last night and I woke up in the bed with Shannon but I don't think he would ever take advantage of me like that. Maybe when we were kids cause let me tell you that boy was a horny toad but not now he's really matured in some ways and is still the same old Shan in other ways." She seemed to be in thought for awhile we said nothing and I was beyond thankful when I found the tyelnol I took three and squirted the sprayer on the side of the sink in my mouth. I also managed to cover my shirt in water but who cares. My text alert went off as well.

~yeah shane did but idk if i will hahaha u gotta make it up to me ~ I rolled my eyes.

~well then looks like we wont be making up any time soon hahaha~

"So were you and Jeff close when you were younger?" I felt my stomach drop. He hadn't told her about me at all. Well I guess I could understand why but its whatever.

"Jeff was my best friend growing up, no one understood me like Nero. He's the one who got me in the most trouble yet tried to keep me out of it." She laughed and the door opened and in walked Jeff. I blushed as I stared at Beth.

"Umm I'm gonna go find my pants now it was good chatting with you." I tried to hightail it upstairs before Jeff realized I was in my underwear.I heard him kiss Beth then thankfully I was up the stairs back in a bed at Matt's house. Thankfully we didn't party at Daddy Gil's whew.

It didn't take long for the tylenol to kick in then I was out like a light. I woke up feeling great, even woke up with a smile on my face. I checked the time and it was already 1 p.m. Damn I had slept seven hours. I checked my phone and I had two texts from Shannon, two missed phone calls-one from my mom, one from my dad. I also had a text from Hallie. I checked to see if I had any voice mails, it didn't surprise me that I had two. I listened to them first.

"Hey honey its mom, I miss you I know you're spending time with your old friends. Do you know when you're going to be back? Well call me. I love you." I smiled. Hallie had told her that I wasn't dead which was good. I'll call her back later.

"Hey Faith its dad, I was wonderin if you wanted to see your Uncle Jason today? Call me back love ya pumpkin." I smiled at his voice mail. That was my dad short and sweet. I'll call him right after I check my texts.

~Well then I guess I'll have to take it out on you in other ways :P~ I laughed and checked the next one from him. This one was from two hours ago.

~Faith I was just kidding I gotten over that a long time ago dont be mad at me darlin~ I grinned and texted him back quickly.

~sorry love took some tylenol and went to sleep Im not mad i promise just woke up actually ~ I checked the one from my sister next.

~hey faith whats up i miss u squirt~

~nothin just layin in bed gotta call daddy about seeing uncle jason wbu?~

I picked up my phone and quickly dialed my dad's number. It took him three rings but eventually he answered.

"Hey daddy its Faith of course I want to see Uncle Jason." He chuckled.

"Took ya long enough he's been waitin round all day jus ta see you so get ur butt over here." I grinned and hung up the phone and searched aimlessly for my pants, which I didn't find but I did find Shannon's shirt he had on yesterday so it would have to do. It came down a couple inches above my knees. I grabbed my sneakers and ran right past Jeff and Beth who were sitting at the table.

"Bye guys going to my dad's." I didn't stick around for a reply I ran out the door and made my way to Daddy Gil's house to throw on some pants. It didn't take long to get there being that it was about a twenty minute walk. I walked slowly into Daddy Gil's and went to Jeff's old room and quickly pulled out a pair of pants. Thankfully they were my white 'love kills slowly' sweat pants and a tank top. I took a shower and got dressed as fast as I could. I almost ran out the door when I realized I hadn't done my make up yet. I ran through that then I was on the way to my Daddy's.

I pulled up in his driveway with wet hair but I didn't care when my phone went off and I saw I had two new messages.

~just making sure so wat r u doin~ I smiled as I saw the first one was from Shannon.

~at my dads going to see uncle jason wbu?~ I quickly opened the next one.

~ohh cool tell em I said hi~ I closed the message from my sister and walked into dad's. This time I wasn't as freaked out about whether or not to walk in I just walked right in. A smile lit my face and my eyes landed on the familiar worn face on the couch. Uncle Jason stood as soon as he seen me. He walked over to me and engulfed me in a big bear hug then pulled back and looked at me wolf whistling.

"Whew look at you Faith you sure did grow up." I smiled.

"You know it was bound to happen Uncle Jason, look at you! You still look the same as the last time I saw you!" He grinned down at me and I went and sat down on the couch. It had been three years since I seen him but I was right Uncle Jason looked the same. His dark brown hair was just long enough to run your fingers through his bright blue eyes still showed youth. The bridge of his nose looked different-maybe he had broke it. He had on some faded blue jeans and faded white shirt. To be in his forties Uncle Jason didn't look a day over thirty-two. I gave him a side hug thats when I noticed his gold wedding band was gone from his finger. I didn't want to make it obvious that I noticed so I looked at Daddy then at his hand while Jason was talking to dad about what they're were going to do this summer. Dad nodded, Uncle Jason had gotten a divorce. I wonder if Uncle Jim was divorced now too. I laughed out loud by accident, then trio had even gotten divorced again. My phone rang and this time it wasn't a text. It was a phone call from my mom. This was going to be awkward.
