Chapter 20: Celebrations and Bashes
4 months later;
Armageddon 2008;
It's been four months since Shannon and I broke up and surprisingly I've handled it really well. We've seen each other from time to time, like when I'm at Matt's House and stuff and from what I see he's doing fine. He's really cleaned up his act and from what I hear he's dating again, which I'm really happy he is doing. As for me, I'm not dating anyone at the moment, but I have been getting really close to a certain straight edge superstar, I think you may know him as CM Punk, but for now we are just really good friends. Jobwise, I'm still the Women's Champion and it looks like I will be until Backlash. Yup, you guessed it...they gave me a longer title run...how sick is that! Tonight is Armageddon, then Saturday is the party of all parties. It's Matt's Christmas Bash and I can't wait. Everyone gets crazy and we pretty much just have a blast. It's so much fun. So anyway, I'm here in the locker room preparing for the 8 Diva Santa's Little Helper's Tag Match and I'm teaming up with Maria, Mickie and Michelle McCool to take on Natalya, Maryse, Victoria and Jillian. We're all here just talking about champions when Mickie brings up the Wwe Title.
"Moving on, moving on...I think that Edge should lose his title tonight. I mean no offense to the Smackdown girls, but Edge is a downright cheater and he doesn't deserve to be champion." Mickie stated to all us girls
"Yeah, I agree with Mickie. I think that out of Edge, Triple H and Jeff...Jeff deserves it more." said Maria with a wink towards me
"Well sorry ladies, but I disagree. I mean Jeff is a screw up and we don't need screw ups as world champions. I mean he has one more screw up and he's done, out of here, finito...that would make a horrible champion, he's just a mess." the blond diva said
"Excuse me?" i said as I turned around after I just finished lacing my boots
"Oh well, I don't mean to upset you. I mean I know he's your precious older brother and all but come on, you have to agree somewhat." she said as the other divas felt the tension in the air
"I don't have to agree with you at all. I know Jeff far more better than anyone here and I know he's had his problems but that doesn't mean he doesn't deserve to be champion. And first of all, what makes you think you deserve to be Diva's Champion right now anyway, Michelle? I mean besides the fact that you are sleeping your way to the top by being with the Undertaker. I mean really who are you to judge other people?" i said with my arms folded across my chest.
"Listen little girl, you have no right to talk to me like that. I've been here so much longer than you and all my other decisions I make do not concern you. I deserve to be Diva's Champion because I worked my ass off-"
"Yeah, your ass off Taker." i shot back
"Woah, woah. Ladies, let's stop and make our way out there, we are out in 5 minutes." said Natalya
"Fine." Michelle and I both said at the same time
"Michelle, whether you like it or not Jeff will become champion and there's nothing that you or anyone else can do about it." i said right before I was taken outside the locker room by Maria and Mickie.
"We'll see." she said

About 20 minutes later we won the Tag Match after Michelle tagged herself in and won it for us. We were all pretty upset cause Maria was about to win it for us and Michelle just comes right in. Ugh, whatever I'm done with her. So we all made our way back to the locker room and changed and now I was gonna watch the Triple Threat Match for the Wwe Title.
About 25 minutes into the match, Matt & I were watching from the screen backstage when Matt told me he had to go cause Koslov was about to interfer, so he left and I was alone backstage watching the match. As I'm watching Matt attack Koslov, I notice something rather someone else making an interference in the match.
Oh hell no.
I'm running in my jeans and my little bikin/bra top, towards the ring. Doesn't this bitch know that I'm watching and that she's asking for a beating of a lifetime? I make my way through the curtain and I see her, she just fricking pushed Jeff off the turnbuckle just as he was going to Swanton Edge. Matt is looking at me and sees that I'm about to just knock her the fuck out. The crowd is going crazy now as I grabbed her by the hair and bounced her head off the mat. She's down and I just get on top of her and start punching her very aggressively. Whoops. Sorry. Haha.
I then pull her up from the ground and slam her into the turnbuckle. As I'm about to get on top of her again and punch her, I feel someone's hands go around my waist and they start trying to pull me off of Michelle. At this point I'm kicking and screaming and then I felt Edge getting pulled off of me by Matt. There's my big brother getting him some more of Edge, god he deserves so much more from Matt after what he did to him in the past. So now, Edge gets back in the ring and he's fighting Triple H, I make my way over to Jeff, who is still on the outside, and I kneel down to him.
"Did that McBitch hurt you?" i asked as I wiped some hair off his face
He chuckled.
"No. I'm good. Watch this." he says to Matt & I
Matt and I look at each other and then we look at Jeff he's climbing the turnbuckle just as Triple H was covering Edge after he did the pedigree to him. I see from the corner of my eye, Michelle getting up and I run towards her and just clothesline her and she falls again. I turn just in time to see Jeff do a Swanton to Edge and he pins him.

I break out into the biggest smile in the world and Jeff is just going crazy in the ring. He just finally achieved his lifelong dream of becoming the Wwe Champion and I couldn't be any happier for him. Feeling the excitement come over me, I get into the ring as Matt does the same and I run towards Jeff and give him a huge hug as I jumped onto him. Matt is patting his back and then I finally jump off of him and we all share a group hug.
"Bro, you fucking did it!" i hear Matt say
"That was fricking insane. I'm so happy for you Jeffro." i say to him
We finally break free and then Matt and I step to each side of Jeff and we raise his hands in victory. This is a picture worth a thousand words. All 3 Hardys are all Champions on each brand in the Wwe. You've got me as the Women's Champion on RAW, Matt the ECW Champion on ECW, of course and now you've got Jeff as the Wwe Champion on Smackdown. This is amazing.
Matt & I step aside and let Jeff do his thing in the ring. We're clapping and cheering with the fans and a few tears slip out of my eyes. This is a man who has been through so much in his career and just to see him come back time and time again and finally achieve such a lifelong dream, is the icing on the cake. This is truly a night, I think that none of us will ever forget.

Cameron, NC;
Matt's Christmas Bash;
Well here we are, just six days after a huge pay per view and Matt is having his annual Christmas Bash at his house. Tons of people are here already and we are all just letting lose and having a good time. Matt is singing on the karoke machine, Jeff is painting faces and I already had my face painted, so now I'm just hanging out with my dad and dancing around while he's playing his banjo. It's just a hell of a good time here.
I've been here for about 3 hours and of course I brought Punk with me, he was lonely during the holidays and I convinced him to come hang out with me and my bros and some other people. There's tons of drinks here and stuff, and I know he's not into that so I've been making sure he feels comfortable around everyone else and making sure that nothing gets too out of hand, but he's enjoying himself and is surprisingly getting along with everyone and having a great time.
As for me, I'm enjoying myself as well. I'm surronded around with friend and family and of course, Maria is here. That's my girl, without her, I'd probably be bored or something. Oh yea, I forgot to tell you, Maria and Matt are no longer dating. Yeah sucks right? Well actually she & Matt talked about it and made a mutual decision that they are better off as friends and they are, but I see otherwise, I still see the look in both their eyes when they see each other. She and Punk have talked to each other since we've been here and it wasn't awkward at all, they act like total goofs when they around each other, so it's all good.
While all these thoughts are going through my head, I hear the door open and I see Shannon walk in. He looks happy and is smiling and stuff, I'm happy for him so I smile to myself.
"Cheesy much?" Maria asks me
"Shut up." i say as she puts her arm around my shoulder
Then the smile that I had on my face disappears and I suddenly get pissed off and put my hand into a fist as I saw the person who walked in the door after Shannon and she went up to him and like wrapped her arm around his and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
There is no fucking way this is happening right now.
He knows better than anyone how much I hate her and he brings her?
She sees me and smirks towards me. God how I hate that smirk of hers. What is she doing with Shannon anyways? I don't think that's even her type. I bet this is just a way for her to get to me and unfortunately...it's working.
Oh this is just going to be a great fucking night. I have a feeling that Layla and I will be butting heads soon.

The next chapter might not be up by next week because I still have to type it and I am still unsure on what I'm going to do...but I have some ideas running in my mind. But I will try to type it up this weekend! Please R&R!
