I was watching Jeff on Smackdown and Fallon was clapping and cheering for her daddy. Marcy and Lucas had gotten back earlier on today and they were resting up at their house. Matt was sitting on the opposite side of me with Amy. I could feel the tension radiating between the two of them and it was difficult to deal with. It was like all the happiness I tried putting in the room was just burned off. They hadn't spoken one word to each other since she'd arrived and it was irritating and I really just wished they would at least be cordial.

"So." Matt started. Yes! "Addison." He continued. Damn. "When is Claire coming?" He asked. Jeff had talked to Matt and I about Claire coming to live with us. At first Matt was pushing towards her living with Marcy and Lucas, but Jeff said he wanted her to be here where she would be with people she was familiar with. Him and I of course. She knew me better than she knew Marcy. Jeff and I continued to visit her in rehab for a little bit after he got out. Then one day we just stopped. I felt a little guilty. Like maybe she thought we'd given up on her, but I had to try and move past that. Thing is we were working towards a better relationship with her now.

"He's bringing her back with him when he comes home. He wants her to have fun and move around a bit. See what life is like now." I told him.

"Really? Three weeks on the road with Jeff?" Matt asked. "Be careful Addison, she might try sleeping with him." He muttered. I could see Amy sink down in her chair a little. I felt a tad bit bad for her.

"Matt. You promised." I whispered. He rolled his eyes and then sighed. "Actually can you help me fix Fallon's bottle in the kitchen?" I asked when Jeff's match ended. He slightly nodded and we excused ourselves into kitchen. I handed Fallon to Amy and allowed her to play peek-a-boo with the tiny human while we made the fresh bottle.

"Matt what is going on? Why are you acting so different?" I whispered. "Just last week you were ecstatic and couldn't wait for this!"

"I know. I guess just...actually seeing her. It brought back so many memories and made me angry all over again." He said hanging his head.

"Here shake this and listen." I said giving him the bottle. He sat at the table accepting the baby bottle and began shaking it at a steady pace.

"Matt, what happened between you and Amy was years ago. You have to move on sweetie. If you keep holding grudges over this you won't ever be happy. Tonight is a special night. I know it is. I can feel it in my bones that you and her are going to hit the starting point to reconnecting. You just have to give it a chance." I told him. He sighed and set the bottle on the table.

"Addison she betrayed me. I gave her my heart and put all my trust in her and she played me. She cheated on me with my best friend!" He quietly argued.

"No. She cheated on you with Adam. He is and never was your best friend. Especially if he had the nerve to do what he did."

"It takes two to dance Addy." He scoffed.

"And it takes one to the bigger man and forgive." I shot back.

"What do you want me to forget too?" He asked.

"Forgive. That's all I'm asking for right now." With that I took the bottle from him. "Fallon and I will be in the movie room watching Cinderella." I told him. I left the kitchen and scooped up Fallon carrying her upstairs and into the movie room. Hopefully Matt would take my words to heart and grow up.

…...

I sat there in the chair thinking to myself. Addison was right. I needed to move on with life. Adam was no friend of mine. All people do make mistakes. Love is stronger than hate. All those little points she made. I didn't actually hear her say the last two but hey, they still counted. I heard quiet footsteps and I looked behind me. Amy stood still in the doorway. She folded her arms across her chest and let out a nervous breath. I couldn't deny it. I still loved this woman. She was my everything. When I gave her my heart and my life, I left it with her. I never took it back because I wanted her to keep it.

"Matt." She started. "Can we talk please?" She asked. I nodded. She came and sat down across from me.

"How have you been Amy?" I asked.

"Let's not beat around the bush. I'm sorry Matt. I am so so so sorry. I don't know how many times I need to say that, but I swear I'll do it for as long as I have to!" She exclaimed. "Matt I ruined us and I know that and I've spent every minute of my life after that wishing that I hadn't. I was so happy with you and I don't know. With everything that was going on I just..I don't know. I was being stupid and selfish. I just wish I could have you back Matt." She whimpered. Her head fell into her hands as she started to cry a little. My heart slowly started breaking as I heard his. I never liked hearing her cry no matter how much I sometimes caused it.

" Amy. I've missed you too. So much. So much that it hurts. I spend my days living in the past wishing the same thing as you. We both might want the same thing but right now we just can't have that. Neither of us are in a good point in our lives to try starting a relationship with each other again." I confessed. She looked up at me with wet eyes and sniffled.

"Is there any chance that we could be friends again?" She asked me. I swallowed thickly. 'Move on Matt. Leave what happened in the past. Be the bigger man. Forgive her.' These words sang songs of peace in my head. I would leave our intimate relationship in the past. A friendship. That isn't asking too much.

…...

"The WWE is so cool." Claire smiled as she settled down in her bed. I chuckled from my bed on the opposite part of the room and shook my head. She'd been going on and on ever since we first arrived about how amazing the WWE was. I was glad she was having a great time. She needed to have fun.

"Claire, are you ever going to stop saying that?" I laughed.

"Yes. Eventually. When the effects wear off." She giggled. She turned over and smiled at me.

"What?" I asked.

"How does Addison feel about the WWE?" She asked. I pursed my lips and sighed heavily.

"To be honest, she doesn't really like it. I mean, at one point she did, then she felt like things weren't the same. She felt like they took advantage of people's personal lives too much. Can't say I don't agree." I shrugged.

"She still supports you though?" She asked. I nodded. Of course she did. Addison always supported me. No matter what. She always had my back. Even when she was pissed with me she had my back.

"You guys are the ideal couple." She smiled. "I hope I find someone like that."

"Of course you will Claire." I reassured her.

"So, I know she's been mad at you before but..have you ever been mad with her?" She asked. That was a good question. I had been mad at her before. And if you can believe it, it was actually her fault. For once that girl had managed to do something wrong and I'd never been more livid in...well, within that year, I'd never been more livid. I remember it like it was yesterday. The night that someone else was almost her first.

::Flashback::

I was excited. It was Christmas Eve and like I'd done for the last two years I was going to be spending it with Addison. I crept towards the side of her house that her room was located on and frowned. Her lights was off. I shrugged to myself thinking maybe she was napping. I've waken her up from plenty of naps before. I started towards the back door and found the key under the mat. Her mom and sister were at a Christmas Eve party. She never liked going. She thought it was boring. I made my way inside and started upstairs towards her bedroom. My hand touched the doorknob and I pushed the door open.

I felt my heart drop as the two people on the bed jumped in surprise, shock, and for her what seemed like fear. She stood up from the bed taking a forgotten shirt with her to cover herself. As if I hadn't seen more than he had.

"What the hell is going on?" I growled. My eyes darted between the two of them and landed on her for answers. She opened her mouth to say something, but the douche that had the nerve to step in on my territory spoke first.

"Who the hell are you man? What the hell are you doing just walking in on people like that? Ever heard of knocking?" He spat clearly annoyed with me.

"Ever heard of speaking when you're fucking spoken to!?" I snapped at him.

"Dude get the hell out of here man. Can't you see I was doing something? Or about to do something." He smirked at me while pulling Addison in front of him and wrapping his arms around her waist. He planted a kiss on her neck and I felt my blood boil.

"Get. Your hands. Off of her." I said quietly.

"Jealous? You can have her when I'm done with her." He gawked. And that was it. I made no hesitation ripping her away from him and greeted his face with my fist. Fighting over this girl seemed to be a ritual for me now.

"Jeff stop it please!" She cried out. I pushed the pathetic twerp into the wall and felt her hand grab the back of my shirt. I turned to her furiously. My nostrils flared and I'm surprised fire didn't come out.

"Don't touch me." I growled at her.

"Jeff please. Don't hurt him." She begged. No matter how mad I was at the moment, I still felt the urge to do whatever she asked of me. Did my balls just disappear when I met her or something? I turned back to him and placed my fist on either side of him.

"I want you to leave and run. Run far, far away and don't ever come back here. If you see her in school, look the other fucking way. If you two wind up next to each other, get up and move away. Don't talk to her. Don't think about her. Don't even fucking breathe around her!" I said. He nodded quickly before I moved and allowed him to run to his escape.

"Jeff-"

"Shut up." I said coldly. I turned to face her. She was wearing the shirt that he left behind. That just added to the anger I felt. Addison. My Addison. She wasn't the same. She didn't look the same. Right now she looked like trash. Like a whore. Why? Why had she stooped so low? How? How did I let this happen? If I hadn't come when I did...I don't even wanna think about it.

"What the hell were you thinking?" I started. "Do you know what could've happened tonight if I hadn't showed up?" She dropped her head. "You could've wound up pregnant or with an STD because considering that he clearly didn't give a fuck about you he probably wasn't going to wear a condom and you don't know who all he's slept with or what he's carrying."

"Jeff-"

"I'm not done." I said harshly. She looked at me incredulously. Her face was wet with tears and she sniffled. She came over to me and placed her hands on my shoulders.

"Jeff I'm sorry. Please can we not do this." She said.

"Get your fucking hands off me." I snapped pushing her away. "Do you really think I'm just gonna let you off that easy? A slap on the hand and everything's all good? You really disappointed me Addison. You had such high hopes for yourself and just like that you were willing to become a statistic. Just pathetic." I spat. Her breathing sped up and more tears danced down her face. She shook her head at me disbelieving. I could tell that my words were hurting her, but in all honesty I didn't care. She had just unknowingly hurt me. This felt like the worst of betrayals.

"Please just stop." She begged finally breaking down. "I'm sorry okay? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! It was a mistake!" She exclaimed. I rolled my eyes at her still angry but becoming more and more upset by the minute. I started towards the door and she grabbed my hand pulling me back.

"Jeff please." I pulled my hand away from her and continued on my way. "Jeff! She called. There was no turning back. Not tonight.

…...

After opening gifts and having Christmas Breakfast with my family I returned to my room. I was tired and my heart still ached a little from the events of last night. She'd text me and called me and left me tons of messages. Ignoring them was hard. I wanted to talk to her. I wanted to forgive her, but I couldn't. She probably thought I was more upset at the fact that she was lowering herself for scum, but I was actually mainly upset at the fact that he almost won her virtue. I knew I couldn't have it because I didn't believe like she did so part of me was hoping she'd just decide to stay celibate the rest of her life.

"Sweetie, we're going to go visit your Aunt and cousins. You coming?" My mom asked. I shook my head.

"Nope. I'm too tired. I'll call them or something." I told her. She waited a moment but decided to leave me be. The room door shut and it was quiet. For a bit. I heard a light knocking on my window and I lifted my head.

"Addison?" I whispered to myself. She was crouching outside my window staring at me. She looked tired. She mouthed for me to open up and I did. It was too cold to leave her out there.

"What do you want?" I bit.

"Jeff please." She started. "I know you're mad at me and I apologize. I never meant to make you mad. You're right. I was stupid and foolish and I wasn't thinking. I should've been hanging out with you last night. Not fighting with you. I don't want you to leave me over this one stupid mistake. Please Jeffrey. I love you." She said. I sighed at her and carefully picked her up and helped her inside the room. I shut the window and then faced her.

"I was never going to leave you. I was pissed. You might have deserved some of the things I said, but you didn't deserve everything. You're right. It was one mistake. You forgave me for mine and I'm going to forgive you for yours." She smiled happily. "But. If you ever do that again, I'm going to give you facial reconstruction so no guy will ever want you again. And if you ever wear another guys shirt in front of me again I will isolate you from the world so you won't have the option of ever doing that." She laughed at me. I was serious, don't know why she was laughing.

"If I can't wear anyone else shirt then can I wear yours?" She asked rocking on her heels. She played her puppy dog eyes and I couldn't help but to smile at her.

"You totally just wanna see me with my shirt off." I joked pulling the shirt off for her. She giggled and tossed her book bag on the bed before tossing off her own shirt and replacing it with mine.

"Well you do have a better figure than him." She said hugging me. I hugged her back resting my head in the crook of her neck.

"No shit Sherlock. Didn't need you to tell me that."

"So conceited."

"You love it."

"I guess." She shrugged into our embrace.

"You're mine Addy. All mine. Don't ever forget that." I whispered. She kissed me and caressed my cheeks while her eyes scanned my face.

"I knew that from day one Jeffrey. I knew that from day one."

::End of Flashback::

"Jeff?...Jeff?" My head slowly turned back towards Claire. "You gonna answer my question?" She asked.

"Oh yea. My bad. To answer the question. Yes. I have been mad at her before. Once. Didn't last long. I blew it a little out of proportion and I was being a little jealous, but yes."

"Of course you would do all of that." She laughed. Not long after that we were both yawning. We agreed that it was time for sleep and shut off the light. Before I drifted off to sleep though I picked up my phone and sent a message.

::Day one. -Jeff::
