"Summer seriously I can't take much more of this" Jeff said as he paced the room, "It's been two weeks, you need to get outside and see the world again, and get out from that blanket!" he watched Summer as she snuggled deeper under the blanket making Jeff groan in frustration. He knew she was still upset about Steve but she seriously needed to start the moving on process.

It had been 2 weeks since they broke up and neither had tried to speak to each other to try and work it out. Summer had been encouraged by all of her friends but she just couldn't face him. He'd hurt her by thinking he couldn't trust her around other men. Steve had shown a cold side she'd never seen before and she didn't like it at all.

Summer just sighed as she snuggled deeper into the blanket so nobody could see her. She'd been living with Matt and Jeff for the past couple weeks, they'd taken care of her but now she was just being lazy. She let go of her diet and gained unnecessary weight, she couldn't be bothered to go outside and she'd lost touch with all of her friends. She was becoming a right state but it was because she missed Steve, it was driving her insane not speaking to him. But her pride and stubbornness prevented her from picking up the phone and sorting the big mess out.

"Summer I'm being serious now, I will use force if you don't come out from the blanket"

"Go away" Summer mumbled from under the blanket to Jeff's comment making him frown.

"Okay we'll do it the hard way" then he walked over to the couch and started pulling at the blanket Summer was wrapped in. He heard her growling under it but he didn't care, she needed to be straightened out.

Jeff eventually pulled the blanket with such force; Summer came tumbling to the floor with a big thump, still tangled up in the blanket.

"Jackass" she mumbled as she sorted her hair out which had gone static "Eugh Jeff you gave me static hair" this caused Summer to start crying again, she'd been whinging about the smallest things as her hormones were going crazy, damn time of the month!

"Oh man Summer please stop crying" Jeff sighed as he saw her crying and slumped down on the couch, it had been a long 2 weeks.

"Sorry" Summer mumbled as she wiped her eyes, "It's just I miss Steve so much"

"I know sis, but there is a simple way to solve this"

"How?"

"Pick the damn phone up!"

"Jeff I'm not calling him!"

"Then you'll be stuck in this situation for a long time then" Summer just pouted and then tried to sort out her hair, which was going crazy right now.

"Look Summer you know me and Matt are here for you, but you've gotta snap out of this! It's been 2 weeks and you've just glued your ass to the couch, let your diet go and have become so unsociable it's unreal"

"I still show up to work though"

"It's not the same though Sums, you're miserable and have trapped yourself in a big bubble"

"So?"

"Summer it's not healthy"

"So what are you gonna do about it?"

"You'll see" Summer's eyes widened slightly at Jeff's smirk, he was planning something and she didn't like it.

"Ahhh right on time!" Jeff said getting up from the couch when he heard the front door open.

"What?" Summer mumbled puzzled as she watched Jeff run into the other room. She heard lots of muffled voices and then cursed to herself. Jeff had brought everybody along to give her a long lecture about 'how it's not healthy to stay in doors' blah blah blah blah!

Summer just sighed as she wrapped her arms around her legs and didn't even look up when the door banged open.

"Well, well look who it is" Came Hunter's voice making Summer roll her eyes as he walked over to her and crouched down. "Hi I don't believe we've met, I'm Paul" Summer just stared at him; this was no time to be making jokes. Hunter however continued to smile at her, "In fact I think I have met you before"

"Alright Hunter"

"You were always the sociable one"

"Okay I get it"

"Laughed a lot"

"Yeah"

"Smiled"

"Okay…"

"Socialised with all of her friends"

"Hunter okay I get it!" Summer said angrily as she glared at Hunter who continued to smile sweetly.

"We're just worried about you sweetie" Came Shawn's voice as he walked over to the couch and sat down, "It's been weeks and we haven't heard from you"

"I'm just going through some stuff that's all"

"Even when you're travelling with us at work you don't speak"

"I told you, I'm going through some stuff"

"We're your friends Summer we want to help"

"But you can't help, you're all friends with Steve and whatever I say about him, you'll tell him"

"That's not true" Shawn said as he frowned slightly, "You've gotta trust us sweetheart. None of us have really spoken to Steve lately"

"You haven't?"

"Well we occasionally speak to him whenever he's around but he's been awfully quiet lately"

"Quiet? That's not like Steve"

"I must admit it is weird"

"Did he say why he's been so quiet?"

"Isn't it obvious Summer?"

"No Shawn you'll have to fill me in"

"It's because he misses you"

"Misses me?"

"Yes dummy"

"Why?"

"Duhhh you were in a relationship with him!" Hunter said before Shawn could respond, Summer just looked at Hunter who smiled smugly and then spat his tongue out. But Summer frowned and poked him in the eye, and smiled when Hunter groaned and fell back onto the floor.

"Serves you right" She said smugly as she watched Hunter curse and hold his eye.

"If you weren't so fragile right now I'd-"

"You'd what?" Summer cut in and Hunter just continued to grumble words under his breath.

"Well if I could interrupt and get the conversation back to where it was" Shawn said making Summer look at him whilst he spoke, "Yes I do think he misses you and misses you like crazy. He just hasn't been the same since you left"

"He hasn't thrown my stuff out has he?"

"Nope it's still all there"

"How'd you know?"

"Because I asked him, he said he'd never throw it away"

"Why?"

"Summer it's obvious he wants to make up with you"

"Then why hasn't he called me?"

"Because he knew you needed some space"

"But if he wanted me he'd fight for me and keep calling"

"Or he'd do the sensible guy thing and wait for you to call him"

Summer turned to face Hunter and said "Would you like me to poke the other eye out for that comment?"

"Oh yeah baby poke me" Hunter leaned forward and Summer just made a noise and then turned back to Shawn.

"He knows he hurt you Sums" Jeff said once he'd come back from the kitchen with drinks for everybody, "So he's giving you space to clear your mind and for him to straighten himself out"

"Meaning what?"

"Meaning he needs to slap himself in the face for thinking he couldn't trust you around other men"

"It was only Randy he was bothered about"

"Speaking of which" Shawn said, "Have you spoken to him recently?"

"No and I don't plan too"

"Why? What exactly has been going on with you two?"

"When he was hired to the company we got chatting and we just clicked right from the start, I thought he was a good friend who I could trust. But then I heard Ashley on the phone to Dawn when I was in the toilets that night when this mess started"

"Ashley and Dawn?"

"Yeah they've been plotting something right from the very start"

"Why?"

"Ashley didn't like it that I had a relationship with Steve, so she'd been creating a plan with Dawn to split us up"

"How does Randy fit into this?"

"They used him as their little decoy"

"Oh"

"They'd obviously been saying stuff to him about me, trying to get him interested in me and it worked"

"But he hasn't tried anything… has he?"

"No that's the thing, he's been like a brother to me and I trusted him with a lot of personal secrets"

"So how does all of this link together then?"

"Well I think that Ashley had high hopes of me running off with Randy, leaving Steve alone and hurt so she could sweep in and make her move"

"And so far has that worked?"

"I don't know yet, she certainly broke us up but I don't know whether she's tried anything yet"

"Do you want her to?"

"Hell no!" Summer nearly shouted causing everybody to stare at her.

"Okay Summer easy" Hunter said making Summer sigh.

"Sorry guys, I'm just confused that's all"

"Call him," Shawn simply said holding out his cell phone but Summer shook her head.

"I can't"

"Why?"

"Because…" she trailed off and couldn't think of a reason not to call him, her heart screamed to make the call and make things right but again, her stubbornness got in the way.

"You're so damn stubborn you know that?" Shawn said making Summer smile smugly at him.

"I'll be back in a minute," she said untangling herself from the blanket and standing up,

"Where you off too?" Jeff asked curiously, "You've already eaten enough junk food"

Summer frowned and said "I'm just going to the bathroom, don't worry I haven't hidden a cake in there" then she walked out of the room leaving the guys alone.

"Man she's really messed up isn't she?" Hunter said as he watched Summer leave the room.

"Just a bit" Jeff replied as he was folding up the blanket making Hunter smirk,

"Aww you're like a little old lady house cleaner"

Jeff glared at Hunter and said "You're damn right, I've been cleaning up after her for 2 weeks now!"

"Just calm down Jeff and give her some credit"

"Give her some credit? Hunter she's done nothing but mope around the house for 2 weeks!"

"She's upset Jeff" Shawn said sternly as Jeff flopped back down on the couch, "How would you feel if you lost the one you love?"

"I'd be devastated"

"There you go then"

Jeff sighed and then said "I just wish there was something I could do for her"

"We all do buddy" Hunter said, "I didn't really wanna say in front of Summer but Steve is pretty much going crazy without her"

"He is?"

"Yeah I went to see him down at the ranch and he's touched none of her stuff, he can't bare to move it. That man is definitely torn up inside"

"So do you think he's learnt his lesson?"

"About trusting Summer around Randy?"

"Yeah"

"I think he has Jeff"

"So he should, Summer always hung out with other men. Even during high school she was always with Matt and me and other guys spoke to her all the time"

"Well like Steve said, he has a hard time trusting women," Shawn added in, "It can't be easy for him"

"Well yes I suppose we can bring that into the case but he's just gotta move forward with his life, not dwell on the past" Hunter replied.

"That's true, but how are we gonna get Steve and Summer to even speak to each other? I think Steve is still pissed about Randy"

"Why?"

"Because he's a young punk who thinks he owns the place, Steve doesn't like people like that, especially ones who sniff round his woman"

"But like Summer said, he was just part of Ashley's plan"

"Speaking of that, I thought we were clear and free from childish games, surely wrestlers court put a stop to this?"

"I agree, even Dawn's creeping back into things!" Jeff said irritably.

"It doesn't seem right does it?" Shawn replied.

"Well no, it doesn't"

"So what are we gonna do about all of this?"

"Lets focus on Summer and Steve first"

"What do you suggest we do?" all three of them were silent for a while, thinking of ideas to pitch for a way of getting Summer and Steve to speak.

"Ooo I got it!" Hunter said happily causing the other guys to jump as he broke the silence.

"What have you come up with?"

"Handcuffs!"

"Excuse me?" Jeff said completely puzzled at Hunter's suggestion.

"We somehow get them into the same room, say in a locker room, then we pounce on them trapping them together with handcuffs and we won't let them go until they've sorted their differences… result" Hunter said cheerfully but Shawn and Jeff looked unsure, "Oh come on! What's wrong with that?"

"I'm not sure Hunter, there are pros and cons to it" Shawn replied as he thought the idea through in his head, coming up with both negative and positive outcomes.

"Okay what are the pros?"

"They could sort out their differences and be together again"

"And what are the cons?"

"They could just start arguing and it could lead to more complications"

"Hmm good point" Hunter said sitting down rethinking his ideas but couldn't come up with a way to change it, "I still think we should try it"

"You think we should?" Jeff replied.

"Yeah"

"How are we gonna get them in the same room at the same time?"

"Easy really, Steve speaks to us in our locker room and we just have to ask Summer to come in as well, making it look like a coincidence and then we attack them and cuff them together"

"We attack them?"

"Not literally but we need to hold them down so we can put the cuffs on"

"I'm still unsure" Shawn said making Hunter frown.

"You always hate my ideas" Shawn smirked when Hunter pouted and folded his arms; "Damn I left your pacifier in the car" Hunter blew raspberries at him and then laughed as Shawn just shook his head.

"Summer's been gone an awful long time" Shawn said noticing Summer hadn't come back yet,

"Maybe there was a cake in the bathroom" Hunter said with a smirk but looked up when he heard a voice say "I swear if you don't shut up I'll poke your eyes out this time" Summer returned to the living room with a drink in hand. She set the drink down on the table before plopping herself down on the floor and looking at the guys who had suddenly fell quiet.

"What?" she asked as they shifted around in their seats, "Something happen whilst I was away?"

"No nothing happened" Jeff said as innocently as he could making Summer raise her eyebrow,

"Are you sure?"

"Yes"

"Cause ya'll seem so awkward around each other and shifting your bums around in your seats"

"Summer that's gross" Shawn said making Summer laugh,

"Oh my god that's a sound I thought I'd never hear again!" Hunter said cheerfully, "You've returned!" then he squashed Summer up against him causing her to squeak in surprise.

"Okay Hunter let me go" she wiggled free of his grip and glared at him as he made her hair go static again.

"Dammit" she mumbled as she tried to contain it but Hunter had spotted it and laughed,

"Ooo look"

"Don't you even think about it" Summer threatened causing Hunter to smile sweetly,

"I wouldn't do anything"

"Yeah right" Summer was about to get up to go back into the kitchen to run some water through her hair to calm it down, but Hunter shouted "Geek sandwich!" and then everybody piled onto Summer rubbing her hair making it go crazy. She squealed and tried to wriggle away but they were too strong,

"You asses!" she squealed out as they tickled her ribs and still continued their assault on her hair.

"Are you gonna cheer up now?" Hunter asked as he smiled when Summer was wriggling around laughing, "And come out of the house and be sociable again?"

"Yes!" she squealed out as now Shawn started tickling her feet,

"I hate you all right now!" she said through laughter making the guys laugh along with her. As much as they got on her nerves sometimes, she loved them to pieces and would certainly be lost without them. Summer suddenly felt her world lighting up again and felt a lot happier.


"It's been two weeks and he's still not mine!" Ashley nearly shrieked causing Dawn to just stare at her.

"Keep it down, we are in a public restaurant"

"Sorry" Ashley mumbled back, slouching in her seat and folding her arms,

"No wonder you haven't got him, you're behaving like a little brat" Dawn replied noticing Ashley's negative body language.

"It's just annoying me"

"Have you even tried anything?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean have you even spoken to Steve since that bar incident"

"No" Ashley scowled as she remembered that, she was actually getting somewhere until Summer came along. "If I could have broke her neck again I would have" she snarled out causing Dawn to stare at her in surprise again.

"Seriously you won't get him with that attitude"

"Then how will I get him?"

"By talking to him dumbass"

"How?"

"Well you open your mouth and words come out"

"Don't be sarcastic with me"

"Stupid questions deserve sarcastic answers sweetie" Ashley just scowled again causing Dawn to sigh, "Just speak to him about casual things, comfort him about his loss of Summer and then make your move"

"Will it work?"

"He's single and vulnerable and in need of a rebound so yeah"

"I'm not being a rebound!"

"Well that's all it's gonna be right now, he'll still be upset about Summer and will need some comfort"

"What comfort?"

"Sex"

"Really?"

"Yes, it'll help relieve his stress and loss of Summer"

Ashley smiled at that and said "I'd want a piece of that"

"Go and get him then"

"Where is he?"

"Well last I heard he's flown back home to Texas for a while"

"What? Why?"

"Well he's only the GM of smackdown so he doesn't need to be around for wrestling practice and with Summer on commentary he's not needed so much" Ashley just made a noise and felt like having a temper tantrum.

"How long will he be away for?"

"Until Thursday I think so you've only got tonight to worry about and then tomorrow he'll be flying out to meet us in Florida for smackdown"

"I'll get him then"

"Go for it" Ashley just smiled and drank the last of her wine, whilst formulating a plan in her head.


Steve was sitting at home trying to watch a football game, but his mind was elsewhere. For the last 2 weeks he'd been constantly thinking about Summer and how he missed her like crazy. Things hadn't been the same since that night in the hotel where she decided to walk away. He'd been stupid and foolish and now he'd learnt his lesson.

Summer had always spoken to men throughout her entire life and just treated them like friends. She'd chosen Steve as the one she wanted to be with and now he'd screwed it up and he hadn't even told her how he'd been really feeling. Throughout all the fun and laughter, frustration and hard times, he'd fallen head over heels in love with her and couldn't see himself with anybody else in the future.

He could see her carrying his baby, walking down the isle in a beautiful wedding dress, and living together safe and happy. But now because of his past crawling back he'd screwed it up and felt awful.

2 weeks away from her felt like an eternity and he couldn't take much more, he'd seen her around whilst being at the arenas but he couldn't approach her. She looked so fragile and confused, she needed to figure things out and if he approached her it could just make it worse. It was a tough situation and he hated the people who caused all of this.

Randy being the main culprit, he'd totally screwed everything up between them and he hated him. if he saw him walking down the hallway at work he'd certainly give him a piece of his mind. But then he thought of Summer and how that would upset her, so it was back to square one again.

"This is all too much" Steve said to himself as he switched the TV off and sat up in his recliner chair. Thoughts of picking the phone up and calling Summer clouded his mind, but then he realised it was late into the night and she'd probably be sound asleep.

In the end he decided to head up to bed and try to catch some sleep, before seeing everybody again tomorrow for work. But he knew sleep would be impossible when all he ever dreamt about was Summer.

"Sweet dreams my angel" Steve mumbled to himself as he thought about Summer sleeping like the beautiful angel she was. Things were certainly getting difficult.


"Guys it's reaching 2am and we've gotta catch a flight early in the morning" Shawn said as he got out of the recliner chair to stretch his legs, they'd been watching movies all night and just having a good laugh with each other.

Matt came home during the mayhem of them all tickling Summer and he finally got some order in the house. So for the rest of the evening they just watched movies and filled Matt in on the plans they'd come up with whilst Summer had gone upstairs to bed.

"You think it's going to work?" Matt asked as he grabbed some more popcorn before Hunter stole the entire bowl.

"It's bound to" Shawn replied but hated agreeing to it.

"You didn't have to agree to it you know" Hunter replied as he watched Shawn look unsure of the plans they'd come up with.

"Problem is, will she fall for it?"

"Course she will Shawn, she's dumber than Jeff"

"Hey!"

"Love you Jeffy" Hunter replied to Jeff and smiled sweetly as Jeff mumbled something under his breath.

"How long do we have to keep it up for?"

"Just until she cracks and leaves the company"

"You reckon she will?"

"Of course, if you stick to the plan and make it look real she'll flip and run away"

Shawn sighed as he ran a hand through his hair. The plan they'd come up with was something out of the extraordinary but they knew it was bound to work. Shawn had to pretend he'd divorced Rebecca and be a single guy chasing after Ashley, he'd start following her around and trying to chat her up.

With how dumb Ashley was, she'd probably fall for it and would then hopefully quit the company because of Shawn being so clingy and needy. If need be, Hunter would also pretend to be a single guy and chase after her as well, so then she'd definitely snap and then quit the company. They both found it uncomfortable but were willing to do anything for Summer to make her happy again.

They'd also agreed on the handcuffs idea and were going to try that tomorrow when Steve and Summer are both at the arena. All of them hoped it would work out for the better and they'd solve their differences.

"Well because it's for Summer I'll do it" Shawn said and then sighed again.

"Shawn honestly it's alright to say no, with you being a Christian an all" Jeff said as he noticed how uncomfortable Shawn really was.

"No I want to do it, Summer is my girl and I'll do anything to make a friend happy"

Hunter smiled and said, "I'm in this too you know"

"I know Hunter"

"So we've gotta come up with a good plan to drive her insane"

"I'm sure we'll figure something out"

"Anyway guys it's late and we've got early flights, you can crash here if you want" Matt said picking up the empty beer cans to take to the garbage.

"You sure you don't mind?" Shawn said stretching again.

"No course not, I'll bring the spare blankets down"

"Jeez it's not a sleepover Matt" Hunter said and then smirked at Matt's glare.

"Fine I won't get you one so you can freeze"

"Bu- I- You-" Hunter then folded his arms and blew raspberries at everybody again.

"Aww little temper tantrum baby Hunter" Jeff said in a baby voice but soon regretted it when Hunter pulled him into a headlock onto the floor.

"You're sleeping with me tonight" Hunter said and laughed when Jeff made a frustrated noise whilst trying to wiggle free.

"Nuh-uh Jeffy you're staying right here," Matt laughed as he came back into the living room with spare pillows and blankets. He handed them out to everybody and switched off the lights when everybody was settled.

But laughed hard when Hunter farted loudly and Jeff said "Gross! I felt the vibrations from that!" Hunter just laughed getting Shawn to laugh as well.

It was like an all boys slumber party but they were happy and having fun, and looking forward to putting their plans into action to hopefully make Summer happy again. They'd do whatever it takes and wouldn't stop until her and Steve were back together again.
