Chapter 11: Broken Bones and Fast Recovery
We arrive at the arena and all pile out into the parking lot, which to my surprise was already filled with cars, and some of the fans were waiting in line, while most of them were piling around the bus waiting for superstars. We all stop to take some pictures and sign some autographs for the fans that are around us. We then walk into the arena and check our practice times. My practice time with the Hardy's is right before the time with DX so I decide to head down to the ring now to start stretching. Within five minutes, the Hardy's and Nitro and Mercury come down and we are in the ring practising what exactly is going to go down and then my fathers arrive.
"Alright, time to steal the ring time."
"Not like it matters, the Hardys need more practice then there is allowed in order to keep up with us."
"You know what Nitro? Shut your mouth for like 5 minutes. You put your comments in everywhere you can, and it's really frigging annoying! So shut your mouth and take the beating that the Hardys are going to ensue on you."
After my lovely comment, they walk up the ramp reluctantly muttering something about tonight. Blah blah blah. The Hardys climb out of the ring and I make plans with them to meet them in the gorilla before the match starts. Me and my fathers were warming up by taking hits from each other to kill time before Edge, Randy, and JBL walk down the ramp. They hop into the ring and JBL and Edge keep bickering about how they shouldn't have to embarrass themselves by stooping so low to be competing against a girl. I was just about to shut them up when Randy stepped in.
"You know what guys? Shut up. She could probably beat both of you by herself if she really wanted to, so I would shut your mouth and get focussed on the practice because your going to need all the help you can get."
"Thanks Randall."
We finish up and we all head backstage to get ready for tonight as they start letting fans in. I am in the change room getting dressed in the outfit that I'm going to wear for the Hardys' match. I'm in tight black pants with a black Hardy boys tank top with two holes on both sides of the shirt. I quickly fix my hair and make-up and walk back out into my fathers' dressing room.
"So Laura, you better behave out there. Don't try and kill Nitro or Mercury although everyone wants you to. Just be careful."
"Don't worry dad. I'll be safe. Although I think I'm required to kiss Jeffy tonight as well."
"Don't you get enough of that off-screen?"
"Haha, very funny dad. Anyways, I'm going out now. Good bye, I will see you all later."
I walk out of the dressing room and head towards the main part of backstage, surprisingly without getting lost. I look around and see Matt standing there watching the match that is currently going on in the ring. I walk over to him and nudge his arm with my elbow.
"Where's Jeff?"
"He's fixing his hair, said something about how one of the sides wasn't even."
"Ah that makes sense."
We stand there for a bit more when Jeff walks up to us and a roadie told us we were set to go on, because Nitro and Mercury were already walking down. We head to the curtain and wait for the music to come on. I walk out first and then the boys run out and start doing their dance, that I still haven't learned. We walk down the ramp and into the ring and they wait in their corner while I go over and give them a 'pep' talk. I went over to the side of the ring and stepped out and stood beside Jeff who gave Matt the first round. The beginning of the match started out as it was supposed to with many close falls, but then something changed, Nitro came over to our side while Matt was struggling to get up, and he winked at me. I looked at Jeff and it seemed like we both knew something was off. Matt was still on the ground slowly getting up when Nitro totally clothes lined him in the throat. Luckily Matt got up and tagged Jeff in. Jeff immediately went to work on them as planned. Jeff did a swanton bomb and went over for the cover as I got the crowd into it by clapping my hands together.
One, Two,...
And at that point my whole world stopped. Mercury came running into the ring and smoked Jeff in the face with the chair and then slammed the chair down onto his ribs around 4 times. Jeff rolled off of Nitro and was out cold. The ref signalled for the bell and disqualified Nitro and Mercury. Matt picked up the discarded chair and ran after a laughing Nitro and Mercury while I quickly ran into the ring and right next to Jeff. I knelt down and put his head in my lap and started to stroke his face and kept trying to wake him up. Then Jeff opened his eyes and as soon as he did that he winced in pain. I looked him in the eyes and told him not to move, and that he was going to be alright. I wiped the hair out of his face and waited as Matt came back down and me and him each got under Jeff's arm and helped him up the ramp. As we get backstage both me and Matt are fuming and Jeff is just in pain. We drop him off in the medic room and wait outside. Both my parents rush over to me and Matt and ask how he's doing.
"Were not really sure, they haven't let us in on anything."
"Don't worry Laura, Jeff's strong, he'll pull through. He's been through worse throughout our years outside of wrestling."
"Yeah sweetie, DX already took care of some stuff. We already stole all of their bags and dumped it all into the toilets so they didn't get off too easy. And expect them getting a fine for what they did."
"Thanks guys. I'm going to go get changed into my other outfit. So I'll be right back."
I head to the dressing room and search my bag to find what I need to wear. I quickly get changed into the same DX halter and boy shorts that I wore on the first night I was there. I head back to the medic office and see Matt sitting outside on the phone. I walk up to him and he shuts the phone and looks up at me.
"Hey you can go in if you want. He's knocked out but you can still go see him. I told pops and he's not too pleased at what happened. But I have to get going, so I will see you later tonight and I will be back to pick up Jeff's things."
"Alright, I will get my dad's to help bring Jeff to the hotel and I can bring his smaller bag with me too."
I give Matt a hug and I turn the knob of the door. I head in and see him sleeping on one of the beds in the corner. I see the doctor walk by and I ask him what exactly was wrong and he lets me know that he has some bruised ribs and a concussion. I thank him and I walk over to his bed. I sit down on the stool beside his bed and I grab a hold of his hand and start rubbing his arm. I feel him stirring around and I look up to him and smile.
"Hey babe. How you feeling?"
"I feel like shit. But you look amazing again."
"Thanks sweetie. I have to get going now, time to kick ass again. I will be back after my match to come get you to bring you back to the hotel. So get some rest, I love you."
"I love you too. Good luck."
I wheel the t.v. in front of Jeff's bed and hand him the remote. I give him a kiss on the forehead and walk out the door to find my fathers. I wait by the curtain and both dads come up behind me and tell me that we are going to head down the ramp any minute now. The other guys are already down there and my head is just spinning because of everything that has happened today. The music hits and we head out onto the ramp. My dads start doing their normal routine while I go back and forth giving high fives to the front row fans. We head to the ring and they do their signature pose and the match begins. Hunter is in first against JBL. They go blow for blow until both men are totally tired and both tag new partners, Edge vs. daddy. It seems like Edge is having the upper hand in the match until my dad jumps off the top rope for an elbow drop. Finally it's my turn. I'm tagged in, and Edge tags in Randy. For the storyline, I'm still supposed to be hating him so I just run up to him and start punching him. He shoves me off of him and starts running at me. I trip him up and his face smashes against the ropes. He's down on the mat so I get up on the top rope and do something for Jeff's sake; a swanton bomb. As I am about to land, Randy sticks out his knees and I smoke myself on them. I roll away in pain and I reach for a tag. Both Randy and I are crawling to get a tag in and we end up tagging in at the same time, Hunter vs. JBL again. Hunter now had the upper hand for the rest of the match. He went for his finisher and went for the cover as me and daddy could see Randy and Edge trying to disrupt the three count. Both me and daddy rush into the ring and at the same time deliver sweet chin music to both of the men and Hunter gets the three.
Once the match was over, I immediately head towards the medic room to get my Jeff out of here. Hunter and daddy both help Jeff walk to the car while I grab his bags and my own. They put Jeff in the car and I slide in beside him. I let Jeff lay down on my lap and I start massaging his head and playing with his hair. Once we get into the car, we help Jeff into the room and I notice a note from Matt.
Jeff,
I went home to visit dad because he was upset about what happened to you. I will see you tomorrow when the tour gets to N.C. I will talk to you later. Tell Laura I love her too.
-Matt
I set Jeff's bags on the table and I turn to my dads. They both nod and I give them both hugs as they walk down the hall. I slip into the washroom and put on one of Jeff's boxers and change into my sports bra. I head back into the main room and hop into the bed beside Jeff. I curl up beside him and he wraps his arm around me.
"So what did you do in order to be able to stay with me tonight?"
"Well you have a concussion, and when we saw the note my dads assumed I would be staying here so that I can look after you. So do you need anything right now? Do you want some water?"
"Actually water would be great if you don't mind."
"It's not a problem Jeff."
I head over to the mini fridge and grab a bottle of water out and head back over to the bed. I set it down on the night table beside Jeff and hop back into bed. I curl up beside him again and rest my head on his chest.
"I love you."
"I love you too babe. Thanks for staying."
I then fall asleep and don't wake up until there is a loud knocking on the door. I peek over at Jeff and notice that he isn't there and I get up in a panic when I realize that he is in the shower. Ooh, nice thoughts. I get out of bed and open the door. I'm greeted with Hunter standing there.
"So we need to be in the lobby for like 20 minutes. The plane leaves in 3 hours and we need to get there early."
"Alright I'll just get John to bring my bags down with him. I'll help Jeff downstairs, he's in the shower right now and he seems to be feeling better. I'll see you soon."
I shut the door and help Jeff pack up. Jeff gets out of the shower and comes out of the bathroom ready to go, slowly. I pack some things for him and get a pair of his sweat pants out and a t-shirt. I quickly toss them on and I look at Jeff and he just laughs at me.
"So your stealing all my clothes now?"
"Well they look so much better on me."
"You don't even know how right you are."
I walk over to him and wrap my arms around his waist carefully. I look up at him and give him a quick peck on the lips.
"You feeling better?"
"Yeah much better. Thanks for staying with me. By the way, I talked to Matt this morning and while were in N.C. dad wants you to stay with us."
"So in other words, I'm meeting your father in like 6 hours?"
"Yeah. But don't worry, he'll love you, cause I do."
I look at Jeff and smile. I grab the bags and start to head downstairs when John comes running down the hall. He looks at me and Jeff and then just points down the hall. There I see my bags on the ground with John complaining that he is too tired to carry all of mine. So I walk over to it and grab my big rolling suitcase and let John carry my TNA bag. We get into the elevator and ride it down to the lobby where the rest of the superstars are waiting. We arrive at the airport late because of traffic, so we have to board the plane right away. This time in my row it's Jeff, than me then John on the aisle. By the time the plane took off me and Jeff were already sleeping on each other. Apparently I'm supposed to see pictures when we land. We get off the plane and everyone meets up at the arrival door so we can decide on car situations.
"Well since me and Jeff are staying at his house should I just drive?"
"I suppose we should allow you to drive, how far is it from here Jeff?"
"Not that far, like half an hour at max."
"Alright well here's the key to one of the cars. Be safe and no funny business while at Jeff's house."
"Daddy! Your so embarrassing sometimes. Jeez get laid."
With that last comment everyone started laughing and my dad just grabbed me in a headlock and gave me a noogie. Jeff and I walk to the rental car that we were in and I load the car and let Jeff just get into the passenger seat. I then hop into the drivers seat and start it up.
"So how do I get to your lovely house?"
Jeff gave me directions and we got there in less than 25 minutes. We pull up the dirt driveway and stop in front of the house. Jeff and I get out and I get the luggage out of the trunk and place it beside the car. Matt comes out to help us and I see their father standing at the door. Both Matt and I grab some luggage and both help Jeff into the house. We set him on the couch and finish bringing in the bags. Once everything is set up inside the house, I sit on the couch with Jeff while he and Matt argue about what movie to watch. Their father comes over to me and I stand up to greet him.
"You must be Laura. I see my boys have no manners left."
"Yes, that's me. It's nice to finally meet you."
"Oh the pleasure is all mine. Jeff has talked about you constantly. I'm pretty sure I know more about you now then I think most of your friends know."
After that I look over at Jeff and he's shaking his head and blushing.
"And you mister! I swear I 'otta smack you one so hard. Getting yourself hurt like that in front of so many people, and Laura."
"Dad it's not like I wanted to get hurt. I didn't plan it."
"But still. Just, don't do it again. Anyways I'm heading into town to pick up some stuff. Were having a family barbeque here tomorrow after you guys do some promotional stuff. Matt told me that you guys will be free."
"Alright pops."
"I'll see you later."
"Bye dad."
After their dad left, Jeff decided that he was going to catch some rest while Matt showed me around. We walked throughout the house and I saw where I would be sleeping with Jeff and other important rooms like the bathroom and the kitchen. Next he took me outside to where the dirt bike track was and where all Jeff's art was. We walked down a little path in the forest until we got to a clearing where there was a little pond with a bench made out of some of the trees in the forest. We both took a seat on the bench and watched the ducks in the pond.
"Thanks for coming to stay with us."
"Oh it's no problem, I get to stay with Jeff without my dads for a couple of days, how could I say no to that?"
"Hah, that's true, but Jeff is really lucky to have you. He hasn't had the best relationships in the past and it seems like he is finally happy."
"Wow. That was deep Hardy. What's gotten into you?"
"Yeah I have a deep side as well. I'm a very complicated man."
"I can see that. But seriously I think you just need to get laid."
"Yeah yeah yeah."
After that we walk back down the path until we enter their actual backyard. Matt and I decide to race to the house and he beats me but only by a small margin. Damn those long legs. We enter the house to find their dad back, but without food.
"Dad did you forget to bring home the food again?"
"Very funny son don't make me wanna hit you too. No I forgot the list. Did you wanna come with me?"
"Sure"
Matt and I get into the car and then head off to the local grocery store. We are about to enter the store when my phone starts vibrating.
"Laura?!"
"Jeff..? What's the matter? Is everything alright?"
"Yes I'm fine. I woke up and no one was around. Where are you guys?"
"Were at the store. What did you think happened? Someone came and kidnapped us?"
"Funny. I'm gonna blame this one on my concussion. Anyways I will see you when you get home. I love you."
"I love you too."
Matt looks at me and shakes his head so I just punch his shoulder and he starts to pout.
"I like this girl, she already has Jeff spun out of control in love, and she has you wincing in pain every time you act like a smart ass. Were going to get along great."
After that poppa Hardy wrapped his arm around my shoulder and we walk down some aisles while Matt is left pushing around our cart. After about another hour in the store we finish up and head out to the car to put everything in. Both poppa Hardy and I get in the car and leave Matt standing outside the car making him put away the cart. He gets in the car and just gives us both an evil look. Once we get back to the house and put away all the food I notice that someone is missing from the usual spot on the couch. I look around the house for him when I hear an engine outside. I run outside to see Jeff riding his dirt bike and doing some tricks. Matt and pops just shake their heads knowing that's what they expect Jeff to be doing while I run out on the track and wait for him to stop. He rides up beside me and I just look at him.
"What?"
"Jeffery Nero Hardy! Do you have any idea what you could do if you fell or something. That thing is dangerous without having already bruised ribs and a concussion, but you have those things!"
"Babe, calm down. I always ride the bike. I'm feeling a lot better, and don't worry, I won't get hurt. Wanna ride with me?"
"Well...alright I suppose I could come on for a ride. But no tricks alright?"
"Deal."
I quickly give him a kiss and hop on the back of the bike with him. He positions my legs where they are out of the way and he tells me to wrap my arms around his waist.
"Is this some sort of trick you would play with girls so that they would hug you?"
"Darn how did you figure that one out?"
I just laugh at Jeff and give him one more kiss before he starts the engine.
"Ready?"
"No, but is that going to stop you?"
Jeff just laughs and he speeds off towards the hills and the dirt track all the while I'm screaming on the back. Eventually I start to like the idea of riding the motor bike. He then brings the bike back to the shed and turns off the engine. I quickly slide around so that I am sitting on his lap and my legs are wrapped around his waist and my arms are around his neck.
"So was that fun or what?"
"I guess your right. It was pretty fun. But did you have to do it now? Just after you got hurt?"
"Jeez, you've been spending too much time with my father."
"No. I just don't want you to get hurt."
"Aww isn't that the sweetest thing. You care about me."
"No not really. Your dad is kind of paying me to like you so that you wouldn't be such a loner sitting on the couch the entire day."
"Ha. Ha. Ha. You wanna go inside now?"
"I suppose, but it's so far."
Jeff just gets up and carries me all the way to the house and puts me down on the couch. So much for him being hurt. We end up watching the move 'The Goonies' that came on t.v. and we both look over at Matt and he's sleeping while holding one of the pillows up to his face with half the pillow in his mouth. Me and Jeff just start laughing and then quickly snap a picture of it so we can use it as black mail later on. We then decide to head upstairs to go to bed. We say goodnight to Gil and then head up the stairs. Once we are both changed we hop into bed. Jeff is laying down on his back and I get up and straddle his hips.
"Thanks for bringing me to your house to meet your dad. He's amazing."
"Yeah he is. Thank you for coming with me. And sticking with me this long with my crazy antics."
"Oh you don't even know how tough it is to keep up with you." I reply to him laughing.
I lean down and give Jeff a nice short kiss on the lips, but then he grabs the back of my head and pulls me towards him to deepen the kiss. We stay there for a good 5 minutes until I yawn right into our kiss. We both part and immediately start laughing.
"Well don't you know how to kill a mood."
"Oh shut it. Good night babe."
"Night. Tomorrow your coming with me to the mall because me and Matt have a signing to do."
"Alright."
"Love you."
"Love you more."
"Love you most."
"Love you to infinity."
We both just smile as I rest my back against his chest and my head rests on his arm. We sleep until his alarm starts to go off. We both reluctantly get up and sit on the same side of the bed willing ourselves to get off the bed. I was about to get up when I'm tackled to the bed by Jeff. He leans down to give me a kiss but I cover my mouth with my hands and shake my head. He looks at me weird and I just smile.
"Morning breath."
"Who cares?"
With that he grabs my hands and pins them above my head while he leans down and gives me a nice kiss. At that moment Matt walks in and covers his eyes.
"My god. It's only like 8 in the morning and your already making out. Seriously you guys are worse than rabbits."
"Yes, this coming from the man who was happily sleeping with a pillow last night on the couch."
Matt just looked confused which just sent me and Jeff into giggles.
Matt leaves the room and me and Jeff just start to get ready. We both take our turn getting into the shower. As I am about to step out of the shower I notice that I forgot all of my clothes in Jeffs room. So I peek my head out of the bathroom and notice Jeff isn't in the room so I quickly run into the room and open the drawer that all of my clothes are in. I grab out a bra, underwear, short jean shorts, and a tank top. I turn around and there is Jeff standing there only in his towel smiling at me. He walks over to me and wraps his arms around my waist while I wrap mine around his neck.
"You look beautiful."
"Why cause I'm only in a towel?"
"Well yes, but you always look beautiful."
"Thanks babe. You look alright I guess..."
"Thanks cause you know I try real hard to look this good."
"Yeah I know. Anyways you wanna get out of the room so I can change?"
Jeff gives me a quick kiss as he starts to walk away. I head over to my clothes and are about to get changed when I notice that Jeff is peeking through the door. I throw one of my shoes at him and he finally leaves. I then put on my bra and underwear and look around for where I put my tank top. I'm about to put it over my head when I hear someone scream.
"Ow ow, take it off!!"
"I look over at the window and see Shannon there and Jeff isn't too far behind. I walk over to the window smile seductively at him and then shut the blinds quickly. I finish getting changed and I walk out of the house and hop in the truck with the rest of them. Matt throws me a t-shirt and a plastic thing. I look at him waiting for an explanation.
"You need to look like your with us, incase people start to wonder. And the badge is so that you can come back with us."
"Alright."
I quickly change out of my tank top and hand it to Shannon beside me and slide the t-shirt on. I put the plastic badge around my neck and thank Shannon for holding my tank top. It only takes us like 10 more minutes to arrive. I open my door and Jeff helps me out. We wait for Matt and Shannon to come around and we all start walking towards the mall, Jeff and I hand in hand. We enter the mall and I am in awe, there are so many people here.
"Wow you guys are popular."
"Well did you honestly think that the Hardy boys wouldn't have fans?"
"So there's been a change of plans. Since they found out you are here Laura, they want you to do the signing with us."
"Oh okay. I guess I can swing that."
"Just no practising on my arm again."
"Aww you loved it. Don't lie."
Sorry for the long wait...
