Leila's Point of View

The last two weeks of my break flew by. John was right, going home would help me out a lot. As soon as I got to Tampa, I went directly home. The time with my parents really calmed me down.

But of course, they thought that John and I were back together. They actually looked ecstatic. But when I told them we weren't, they were pretty disappointed. They told me that they were over it, but I still think my parents are having separation issues. If I didn't know any better, I'd think they were the ones who had dated John.

The entire time I was there, I didn't mention anything about work, Jeff, and Matt. It was better that they didn't know. My parents weren't exactly the biggest fans of Jeff, which blows because I'm in love with him. I wonder how they're going to take it when they do find out.

Anyway I'm getting off track. My time at home was spent going out with friends and family. It actually felt great to be away from work and all the drama that surrounded it. But as always, all good things come to an end.

So here I am right now, heading on over to the arena. I can't help but nervous for many reasons. One reason being that it was my first night back. I felt like I was gone so long, but in reality I wasn't. It felt like my debut night all over again. But I'll get over that. But the big reason as to why I'm nervous. Jeff and Matt Hardy. Truthfully, I hadn't talked to them since I left to go and visit my family. What would I say to them? More importantly, what would I say to Jeff? We didn't exactly leave on the best of terms. Actually he tried to fix it, but I ran. I'm not going to lie, that voicemail scared me.

As I turned into the parking garage of the arena, my nerves picked up. I could feel the butterflies swirling around in my stomach. Getting out of the car I took a deep breath and headed towards the doors that would lead me into the backstage area.

"Its now or never." I whispered to myself as I headed further into the arena.

So far so good. Still no sign of anybody I talk to. Maybe this won't be so bad after all. As I turned the corner, I ran into something I had never wanted to see. The very thought of it made me want to throw up. In fact this was the very reason why we fought. But to actually see it happening before my eyes, made me want to cry. He actually went back to her. Jeff and Beth were back together.

Without even thinking I turned around so quick that I ran into someone that was walking down the corridor at that exact moment. My eyes were blurred with my tears so I couldn't really tell who it was. Instantly the person put his hands on my shoulders.

"Leila, are you okay?" I automatically recognized that voice. It belonged to none other than Shane Helms.

Wiping my tears away, I shook my head. Without even thinking I threw myself into his embrace. I need help. And more importantly I needed to talk to someone. Shane could help me.

Shane's Point of View

I was walking down the hall when someone I recognized bumped into me. Realizing it was Leila, my hands instantly went up to her shoulders to keep her steady.

"Leila, are you okay?"

Without saying a word, she wiped her tears away and threw herself into my embrace. Something was definitely wrong. Leila was not one to melt down. But as of right now, judging by everything that's been going on with her lately, I didn't really blame her.

Pulling away from her, I grabbed her hand. On the way to my locker room, I stopped by catering to grab a bottle of water. Afterwards we headed to my locker room. Once we got in there I sat her down.

"Calm down Leila." I said handing her the bottle of water.

Without saying anything she took the bottle of water from me. Taking the cap off, she put the bottle to her lips and practically chugged the water. When she was done, she put the cap back on the bottle and set it down next to her. Putting her head down, she took a couple of deep breaths. After a couple of minutes she picked her head up and looked at me.

"Thanks." She said, her voice still slightly shaking. "I bet you're wondering what's up."

I shrugged my shoulders. If she wanted to tell me, then she would. I'm not going to sit here and force it out of her. If she wants to talk, then she will. I'm not going to bother her.

"If you want to, go ahead, talk to me. If not, its fine. Do what you think is right."

"How long have they been back together?" She asked. Wow, she went straight to the point. She hangs out with Jeff a little too much.

"About a week." I mumbled. As if I did something wrong, I let my gaze drop down to the ground. Suddenly the floor looked interesting to me. I couldn't look at her, it hurt me too. As lame as it is, when she hurt, so did I. Leila was like my little sister.

"Oh." She mumbled.

Taking my gaze off of the ground, I looked over at Leila. I could tell she was hurt, but she didn't want to show it. As much as I love Leila, I really needed to know something. It was going to sound rude, but I had to know. Its been bothering me for the last two weeks.

"When did you and John get back together?"

For the first time since I bumped into her cracked a smile. Suddenly I was confused. First she was hurt and then she wasn't. This I had to hear. I just sat in silence waiting for her to say something.

"We're not back together Shane. The day Jeff and I fought, I went to John for help. He suggested that I go home and visit my family. You know, get my mind off of things. A lot has been going on."

"Oh. Well now I feel like a jackass."

"Don't feel like a jackass. Please? Anybody would have thought the same thing." She paused for a second and then continued. "I'm sorry."

"What are you sorry for?"

"For leaving without saying anything. For not calling while I was away."

"Don't be sorry." I said waving it off. "We all understand that you needed to get away for a little bit. No body is mad at you. In fact Gil, had to remind everyone to leave you alone and let you think."

"Good old Gil." She laughed. "He never lets anyone down." All of a sudden her smile disappeared. "But Jeff didn't understand." She said referring to what I said earlier.

"Well, Jeff is an idiot." I said. "But he still loves you."

"No he doesn't." She responded. "He has Beth now. I'm not in the picture anymore."

I shook my head in disbelief. Was she serious right now? Jeff still loves her. He's always loved her. Beth, for him right now, was a distraction. Sure he's with Beth physically. But his heart is with Leila. I can see it. Shannon can see it. And Matt, well, he's still being an ass about everything. I was going to say just that, when Jeff and Beth walked in. This wasn't going to be pretty.

Jeff's Point of View

When Beth and I walked into Shane's locker room, my heart stopped. There sitting in his room as gorgeous as ever was Leila. It had been two weeks since we last spoke, but I'd be lying if I said she never crossed my mind. In fact, my song for her was all done. It was sitting in my bag. I was going to give it to her now, but that all changed when Beth came back into my life.

Allow me to explain. A few days after Leila left, I started talking to Beth again. We got through our problems and decided to give it another go. We've been together for a week. But things aren't the same. In fact, I haven't slept with Beth since the day before me and Leila fought. I couldn't bring myself to do it. My head was with Beth. But my heart was with Leila. It always been, and it always will be with Leila. As if to remind me that she was there, Beth grabbed my hand and glared at Leila.

"Hey Sug- Leila. You ready for tonight?"

She only nodded. Everybody could feel the tension in the room. Not only was it tense, but it was also awkward. As if reading my thoughts, Shane left the room saying that he was going to call Jamie and see what she was up to. One down, one to go. Once again, things worked in my favor. Beth's phone began to ring. Releasing her hand from mine, she looked down at her phone. She excused herself, but not before she kissed me. It felt like she was trying to prove point, rather than trying to show affection.

When she left, it was only me and Leila. Walking over to the door I closed it. I didn't want anyone to hear what we were saying. Especially Beth.

"So you and Beth?" She asked with hurt evident in her voice.

"Yeah." I paused for a second. "You and John?"

I was expecting her to say that they were back together. But she didn't. It shocked me because I thought they were. Not only that, I was mad at myself. I should have waited until I saw her. Regret was now running through my body. Why didn't I wait?

"I love you too much Jeff. I wouldn't even think about going to another man. Not anymore at least. I have something to tell you. I'm not going to lie, its going to hurt, but I'd rather you hear it from me."

Suddenly I was scared. What did she have to tell me? By the look on her face, I knew she meant it when she said it was going to hurt. But little did she know that, I like her, was hurt beyond repair. Sitting down, I nodded for her to continue.

"That day that we fought, I uh, slept with John." She said wit tears in her eyes.

Okay so I was wrong. I wasn't hurt beyond repair. Nope, I was now shattered. She slept with her ex. Great. What's next? Is she pregnant with his kid again?

"And you say that you love me too much. You wouldn't go to another man. But yet you did!" I yelled.

"I do love you Jeff. Which is why I'm not with him. I thought I wanted to be with him again. But I don't. Its you that I want to be with. If anyone should be yelling, it should be me. Yeah, I made a mistake. I admit that. But I love you. And I thought that you loved me, but obviously you don't. Please don't say you do love me, because if you did, you wouldn't be with Beth!" She cried.

"Don't do this. You could have called me. But you didn't because you were too busy blowing John!"

Obviously I offended her. She nearly slapped the taste out of my mouth. I forgot how hard she can hit. Without even thinking, I advanced towards her. With ever step I took going forward, she took one back until she hit the wall. Blocking her in, I looked down at her. Rage and hurt filled my eyes, just like they filled hers.

"Fuck you Jeff! I don't need this right now."

She tried to walk away, but I pushed her back to the wall. Even if it killed me, she's going to listen to what I have to say. Its hurts me to tell her this way, but I have too. Because of the situation we are in, it can't be done any other way.

"There is no us. There can't be an us. We hurt each other too much for us to love each other. We're done Leila. Plain and simple, we are done." I said.

Looking up at me, she nodded. On the outside I knew she was fine. But on the inside, just like me, I knew that she was hurt. I had hurt us both very badly. But we both needed to hear it.

Without saying another word she walked out of the room. Part of me was telling me to run after her. To tell her that I was full of shit, that I needed her. But I didn't, we need time away from each other.

One thing I do know is that no matter what we say to each other, we will always love each other. But we won't be together. The day we lost each other, we lost each other forever. Sighing I started to get ready for tonight.

In the mean time, Beth came back into the room. I took one look at her and it was then that I realized how big of a mistake I made in letting Leila walk out of my life.

Matt's Point of View

Tonight's segment went off without a hitch. All through the segment I could tell that Leila wasn't as into it as she should have been. Which only meant one thing, the plan was back on track.

According to Beth, Leila wasn't the only one in a bad mood, Jeff was too. But who cares about Jeff? He has Beth there for him. Leila is who I need to focus on. I need to be there for her. All I have to do is show her that I'm nothing like Jeff.

"Hey Leila." I said lightly grabbing her arm.

As soon as I grabbed her arm, her entire body tensed up. Why was she tense around me? I didn't do anything to her. I was the brother who wouldn't break her heart.

"Not right now Matt." She said pulling out of my grip. "I'm not in the mood to talk."

I had to think fast. She couldn't walk away. This was my time to be with her. With her acting like this, it was my time to help her.

"Come on Leila. What's wrong? You can talk to me about anything." I said sincerely. It was sincere because I really meant it. Sure I was being an asshole to those close to me, but I wouldn't be an asshole to Leila. I love her.

Judging by her body language, I knew that she was hesitant. But after a little thinking she loosened up a little bit. And after a tiny bit of thinking, she decided to head on over to catering with me.

"What's up?"

She sighed. "Are you sure you want to know? Its kind of a long story."

"Yeah, I want to help you."

Once again she sighed and began to tell me everything. The more she told me, the more I began to feel bad. Most of this was my fault anyway. My better half was telling me to forget everything and go back to Jeff. But the half of me that thirsted for revenge won out. I had to prove to her that I really do love her. And more importantly I had to help make her realize that she loved me too.

"I'm sorry Leila. If you need anything, I'm here for you."

For the first time since we sat down she smiled. And honestly the sight made my heart melt. She truly is beautiful. Her smile is one of the many things I love about her.

"Thanks Matty. Listen I have to go now, but I'll talk to you later."

I didn't say anything as she walked away. We definitely made a break through. It was only a matter of time before we got together. That's all it took, just time. Soon we'll be happy. Me, Leila, and soon enough, when she finds out, our son or daughter.

Leila's Point of View

Tonight I felt a roller coaster of emotions. And it doesn't seem to end. My frustration is building. I'm literally on the edge of breaking. This just never seems to end. I want it all to end. I want to be with Jeff. But we can't be together. He's right, we wouldn't work out. Maybe I should just settle down with Matt. Who am I kidding? I can't be with him, I don't love him like that. Its Jeff I love. Maybe I should just move on. He obviously did, so I should too. Its only fair. Right?

I was so deep in thought, that I didn't realize that John was walking right next to me. "Leila. Leila babe. Are you okay?"

I shook my head. Just thinking about it made me cry. John wrapped his arm around my waist and led me towards the parking garage. We walked most of the way there in silence. It was actually comforting in a way.

"Let's go. You need to get some rest."

Without any word, I simply followed him to the car. He was right, I did need some rest. I'll explain everything to him in the morning. He deserved to know what was going on.

In the last few minutes I decided on something major. It wouldn't only affect me, but also those around me. I had decided to leave the WWE.
