Jenni was in the bar serving drinks when Jessi came running in. Jessi reached the bar and sat down on the stool in front of Jenni.
Jenni: Okay. I'll bite. What?
Jessi: Guess what is coming to town next week!
Jenni: Wrestling?
Jessi: Well duh. But guess which one.
Jenni: You're just going to drag me to it anyway. Regardless of if I want to go or not.
Jessi: True. Ask off for next Wednesday.
Jenni: Fine.
The weeks finished out and Jenni asked off for Wednesday. Jessi was excited about going to this particular wrestling event. Jenni dressed in a pair of skinny jeans and a blue off the shoulder shirt. She ran a brush through her no shoulder length hair before she walked down stairs to the living room. Jessi grabbed her hand and pulled her out the door.
After an hour of driving and trying to find a parking spot Jessi and Jenni got to the arena and found their seats, right up front.
Jenni: You brought me to a TNA show?
Jessi: Just wait.
The TNA music keyed up the first match of the night was an X Division tag team match. The first team to come out was the Motor City Machine Guns. Jessi went wild, she though Alex was cute. The next team out was Ink Inc. Their theme music keyed up and Jenni turned to look at the entrance ramp.
Announcer: And making their way to the ring, the team of INK INC. Shannon Moore and Jesse Neal.
Jessi damn near lost her mind when Shannon got in the ring. Jenni just stared in disbelief. At the end of the match, Ink Inc were victorious. Jessi was clapping and cheering and acting a damned fool.
The night continued on with different matches. The main event match was Mr. Anderson versus none other than Jeff Fucking Hardy.
Anderson's music keyed up and the whole arena started booing.
Jenni: I agree, didn't like him in WWE wont like him here.
Jessi: Just up and watch.
Jenni: Whatever.
Announcer: And his opponent, from Cameron North Carolina, JEFF HARDY!
Jenni stared at the ramp and Jeff came walking down it. Jessi grabbed hold of Jenni's leg and held her in the seat. Jeff climbed in the ring and jumped up on the second turn buckle on the other side of the ring. He threw up the 'guns' and the crowd went wild. He came to the side Jenni and Jessi were on and did the same thing. As the threw up the 'guns' again he looked around in the audience.
As Jeff looked around the crowed he thought he saw her face. That had been happening a lot since she left. Which is one of the reasons he left WWE, he kept seeing her face in the crowd and it was effecting his concentration. Matt had told him to get over it, but he just couldn't do it. The bell ringing brought him back to reality.
Jenni watched the match, glued to her seat. No matter how much she wanted to get up and leave, she couldn't. Once because Jessi was basically forcing her into the seat and two, it was Jeff Fucking Hardy.
The bell rang signaling the end of the match, Jeff stood victorious. Everyone startled to file out of the arena. Jenni tried to get up but Jessi held her in her seat. After about twenty minutes the arena was almost empty. A few of the wrestlers had come out from the back and were talking with a few of the fans that still lingered. Brother Ray was one, who walked over to Jenni and Jessi.
Brother Ray: Looking for someone in particular?
Jessi: Yeah. Jeff Hardy, or Shannon Moore.
Jenni: We aren't staying any longer. We have to go…
Brother Ray: I can probably get Moore out here, but hardy hasn't been himself for a while.
Jessi: Why? What happened?
Devon: Shannon said the love of his life walked out on him.
Jessi: Damn…she stupid..
Devon: Ha ha. Nice.
Ray: You want me to get Shannon?
Jessi: No that is okay. It was really nice meeting ya'll!
Jenni jumped up from her seat and bolted for the door. Jessi made a pit stop at a bar on the way home. Both girls walked inside. The bar was full of TNA wrestlers. Jessi made her way to the bar and ordered a drink. Jenni sat down on the stool next to her.
Jessi: Spill. I want the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
Jenni: You a lawyer now?
Jessi: No, but should be one.
Jenni: Remind me never to hire you if you become one.
Jessi: Deal, as long as you spill the beans.
Jenni: Spill the beans on what?
Jessi: What really went down between you and Jeff.
Jenni: What I said. I didn't want to be on the road anymore, so I told him I was coming home. Nothing more, nothing less.
Jessi: Okay.
After a few more minutes and two beers later Alex Shelley walked up to the bar next to Jessi.
Alex: Hello beautiful.
Jessi: Hi…
Alex: I saw you at the show…you are loud.
Jessi: he he…thanks…I think.
Alex leaned over so he was whispering in Jessi's ear.
Alex: I bet I can make you scream louder…
Jessi: You might think that…
Alex: Is that a challenge?
Jessi: You may be smokin' hot, but I don't go home with just anybody.
Alex: I'm Alex Shelley though…
Jessi: And…
Alex: I think my ego just got bruised…
Jessi: Has it deflated slightly as well? Cause I don't think I would've been able to fit through the door to leave.
Alex: If you must know, yes. But only slightly.
Jenni: Oh, just go back to the hotel with him already. I'm not going to think any less of you than I already do.
Jessi: Just what I wanted to hear. Come on doll…
Jessi grabbed Alex's hand, but Alex was the one who led her out of the bar. Jenni turned back to the bartender and asked for a few shots of whisky.
Man: That is a lot of liquor for someone so small.
Jenni: Now is not the time Shannon.
Shannon: Eyes in the back of your head?
Jenni: (turns to face him) No, just that good.
Jenni downed the last shot before ordering a beer. Shannon sat down beside her, not saying a thing.
Jenni: Say something Moore. Otherwise I am going to think you are stupid…well more stupid.
Shannon: I didn't recognize you…damn..
Jenni: That a good Damn or a bad Damn…
Shannon: Good, on your part.
Jenni: But?
Shannon: You might want to look for yourself.
Jenni turned and looked in the direction Shannon was. Jeff was sitting in a booth by himself with his head on the table and four beer bottles sitting on it. Jenni shook her head and sighed ordering four more shots.
Shannon: So?
Jenni: I am not going to talk about it…
Shannon: That is all fine and dandy, but you have got to say something to him. He has been like this since you up and left.
Jenni: I left him my explanation in a letter. It isn't like I just up and disappeared.
Shannon: You did?
Jenni: He didn't tell you about the letter?
Shannon: No. He didn't tell anybody about the letter.
Jenni: Great…he has been trying to deal with it on his own…
Shannon: So?
Jenni: Shut up and go back to the hotel. If I feel like it, I will talk to him. Okay?
Shannon: Alright…
Shannon got up and left the bar. After a while there were only a few wrestlers left. Jenni grabbed her third beer and walked over to the table where Jeff was sitting. She had kept her back to him every time he looked up to either drink or order a new beer. Jenni finally told the bartender to cut him off and she readily agreed.
Without saying a word, Jenni slid into the booth across from him and set her beer down and looked at him. He didn't look up, but he talked.
Jeff: Look, I am sure you want an autograph, but if you can't tell, I'm not really in the mood to sign anything.
Jenni took a sip of her beer before she spoke.
Jenni: Not what I am after, although I doubt you could lift a pen if you wanted to.
Jeff's head shot up from the table as his eyes tried to focus in on her face. Jenni sighed when she saw his face. His eyes were swollen and bloodshot. She couldn't tell is they were from the drinking or not sleeping.
Jeff: You're not here…you're not here…you're not here…
Jenni: You ever look into professional help, Jeff?
Jeff: Shut up…you're not really here. I've drank so much that I am hallucinating…
Jenni didn't answer him. She let him mumble a little more before she smacked him. Jeff sat there, he had his hand on his face and he was staring at Jenni.
Jenni: Believe I am here now? Now what the hell has happened to you?
Jeff: I…you…and…
Jenni: You are leaving out the important things Jeff. Have you forgotten how to form real sentences?
Jeff: No.
Jenni: One word doesn't count.
Jeff: Why?
Jenni: Still doesn't count. You can't blame any of this on me, you realize that, right?
Jeff: Yeah.
Jenni: Then sober up and get your act together.
Jenni stood up and collected all the beer bottles off the table and walked over to the bar. She had the bartender call a cab for Jeff. She was going to hang around a while longer so she could drive her car home.
