This chapter in my opinion isn't as eventful as some of the others but meh. Also I have to thank my reviewers again for giving me some ideas :)

The babbling between the HD members had reached boiling point now. Matt had aggravated Edge again who aggravated Cena who ended up aggravating Randy setting off a chain of fights. "Guys shut up! Everyone shut up!" Mickie tried to yell over everyone, there was no use. "Argh, this is like talking to a brick wall!" Mickie stormed off while Mysterio followed her out.

"Shut up!" Melina yelled as she walked through the door. John who was following her covered his ears as she whistled loudly making everyone fall silent. "Thank you about time... Does someone want to explain to me why Mickie ran out crying with Rey following her?"

"Oh god. Now we're gonna get it" Randy said. Melina shot him a glare. "What?"

"Edge started it..." Matt mumbled it.

"Shut up Matt!" Edge yelled back at him.

"Remember what we said!" Brett yelled over the top of them but was ignored.

"Stop bringing up what happened to Mel!" Edge yelled back at him and realised what he just said. "Oh shit..." Bret rolled his eyes and hit his head with his hand.

"Nice going man" Randy nudged him. Melina stood there staring at Edge then around the table before dropping her gaze to the floor. She took a deep breath before she spoke.

"Why do I even bother asking? Why was Mickie crying?" she tried asking again.

"Well, Randy called her a stupid bitch...after she tried stopping the fight" Candice said as she looked up at Melina who rolled her eyes. Morrison stared at Melina sideways waiting for her reaction. They were both exhausted because of their fight with the SES.

"For fuck's sake!" Melina exclaimed as she turned her attention to Randy. "Can we all grow up? Seriously, can we all get along for once" she let out a frustrated groan. "We have a problem on our hands so please can everyone get along?" she looked around the table again before sitting down next to John.

"Ok, sorry Mel it won't happen again" Edge looked down as he felt bad for bringing the past again.

"Mickie, Randy is an ass don't listen to him" Rey embraced her in his arms as she cried onto his shoulder.

"I'm just sick of these fights Rey, I'm sick of them" she hugged Rey back and continued to cry on his shoulder.

"I'm sick of them too" Rey replied. There was a long silence before Rey spoke again. "You know something Mickie. I've been meaning to tell you this for a while. I really like you. In fact, I love you."

"Rey I've been feeling the same way for ages" Mickie sniffled. "I have to admit I had a big crush on you." Rey chuckled slightly at Mickie's comment. "Hey stop laughing at me!" she exclaimed.

"I was laughing at how funny you just sounded" Rey smiled. Mickie looked at Rey and smiled back at him. "Shall we go back in there? I mean Mel and John are there now and they're probably giving everyone an ass whoopin'." Mickie laughed at Rey's remark. "We don't have to go back in if you don't want to."

"We probably should go cos you know Mel when she's pissed" Mickie held Rey's hand. "Plus, we might be the next people to get our asses whooped" Mickie said as she wiped her tears away and dragged Rey back into the conference room.

Back at the Golden Dragon, Trish had decided to stay behind and be there for Michelle, her cousin, when she woke up. "I still can't believe you're related to Mel" Trish spoke to Gail as she sat on a golden couch.

"Yea, well...believe it" Gail replied. Trish laughed to herself as she remembered Melina saying that Trish was like a sister to her. "What's so funny?" Gail asked.

"Nothing..." Trish slumped down on the couch.

"You know Trish, Mel really cares about you" Gail stated. "I mean you two have a real friendship. She really does respect you, you know."

"I don't know why though after what I did to her" Trish answered softly.

"I don't know. I think it's just the way she is. She cares about others I guess" Gail suggested as she heard Jericho speak from the other room. "I think Michelle is awake" Gail stood up and walked into the bedroom quickly followed by Trish.

"Babe you're awake" Jericho kissed Michelle lightly on the cheek.

"Ew..." Gail replied as she sat back down on the chair.

"That's the same reaction Mel had when she saw them kissing" Trish said. Michelle had to blink a couple of times because she was still groggy.

"Hey Chris..." Michelle mumbled in reply to him. "Kellz you're here too."

"Yep we're all alive, Trish, Melina and John saved us" Kelly explained to Michelle who was still out of it and slightly pale.

"So what happened to you?" Gail asked "How did you get that wound?"

"Wait, who is she again?" Michelle asked as she started to come to. Gail hit her head with her hand.

"I'm Gail Kim. Melina's sister."

"Well Christian slashed me with a knife I think..." Michelle frowned as she tried to remember.

"You're ok now thanks to Gail" Trish pointed out. "Chelle, do you know what the SES were planning to do?" Trish asked.

"They want to kill every member of the HD and anyone who is not part of the SES, that's what they told us and that's why we left, right?"

"Right." Jericho replied as Kelly nodded in agreement.

"Chuck that son of bitch!" Trish yelled in frustration.

"That means that you guys, Morrison and Mel are the main targets" Gail realised as she thought quickly.

"We can stop them. We won't let them get anywhere near the HD" Jericho said.

"I don't want to lose my friends" Trish sat down and buried her head in her hands.

"Trish everything will be ok. We won't let the SES hurt them" Kelly said as she rubbed Trish's back in comfort.

Melina hung her coat on the rack and lay down on the bed completely exhausted after her fight with the SES and her meeting with the HD. Her shoulder did not hurt as much as she thought it would. It was only a mild scratch. She closed her eyes for a moment as she remembered the summer before high school which she spent with John and Joey. Not to mention she went to Greece and met Jeff on her tour. She heard a knock on the door that interrupted her thoughts.

"Yeah come in..." she mumbled keeping her eyes closed. Her eyelids felt like lead because she was so tired.

"Hey babe it's only me..." John replied as he hung his leather jacket next to Melina's coat and sat on his side of the bed. He left his singlet on and lay down next to Melina, wincing slightly as he did so.

"Are you ok?" Melina asked opening her eyes in concern for John.

"Not really but don't worry about me" he replied gingerly. Melina sat upright to see what was wrong with him. "Jeff and I had a pretty big throwdown. My back hurts nothing major. Let's just go to sleep, I'll be fine." Melina eyed him with caution.

"John are you-" John interrupted her.

"How's your shoulder?" he changed the subject.

"It's nothing, seriously" Melina replied. "John?"

"Yeah?"

"I have this bad feeling that I'm going to die in that warehouse. I just have this gut feeling" Melina lay back down as John wrapped his arm around her pulling her close to himself.

"I'm not going to let you get hurt. I promise I will die before I see you suffer again..." he mumbled as he was becoming more and more tired by the second.

"I love you John."

"I love you too Mel."

Jeff sat on his single bed holding his phone in his hand. He placed his crutches against the wall as he dialled Matt's number. He took a deep breath before speaking. "Hello is that Matt?"

"Jeff? Why the hell are you calling me you know how dangerous this is? I'm gonna get busted" Matt hissed. Jeff rolled his eyes.

"This is important Matt" Jeff hissed back.

"What could be so important Jeff that you would have to call me? I mean were on opposing sides" Matt asked. Jeff took another deep breath hoping that this would work.

"I still love Trish Matt. You know how you love Eve. I still love Trish like that. Matt I even stopped drinking and smoking for her. I can't even remember the last time I had a beer."

"Jeff you can't be serious. Bro, she hates you. You almost killed her best friend."

"Just shut up and listen to me Matt! I need you to tell her I'm sorry and that I love her" Jeff asked his brother Matt a favour.

"Jeffro man, you can't expect me to do that."

"Please Matt. I stuffed up and I feel bad for what I did."

"Dude...you can't be serious" Matt replied to him. Jeff held his phone to his ear not saying anything. He wanted to tell Trish his true feelings and why he acted the way he did. He stopped smoking and drinking just for her because Jeff had come slightly to his senses. "Are you still there?" Matt asked as he looked around the HD corridor to make sure no one was around.

"Can you do it for your bro Matt? I mean...I mean I feel like I'm empty without Trish." Matt sighed and answered Jeff.

"Fine. But you owe me big time."

"Thanks bro." Jeff hung up the phone. Matt stood in the hallway not knowing what to do. He shoved his phone in his jean pocket and let out frustrated groan. He didn't know if he should confront Trish and tell her what Jeff told him or go and confront Jeff himself. He decided to go with the second option and go and talk with Jeff, it would be risky though. Matt was willing to take the risk to talk to Jeff about almost everything. Matt looked around one last time to make sure no one was around and then he made his way to talk to Jeff.

I tried to include most of the characters in this chapter cos I felt like it. I know Mickie and Rey getting together was random xD lol. Also just letting you guys know that I may change the summary of this story sooner or later :)
