JEFF / TRISH:

"Why would you call him after you know he has been lying to you? Do you still want to be with him or something?" Jeff asked as stared at Trish, standing face-to-face with her. He was appalled that she would call him…not only after what she witnessed from him earlier in the night, but because she & Jeff were back together, & had made love for the first time tonight.

"God no!" Trish replied, as she brushed her hair behind her ear & folded her arms.

"Then why would you call him?" Jeff asked as Trish passed by him.

Trish was silent as she turned around & stared into Jeff's eyes. Then it suddenly hit Jeff on why she would call him.

Jeff pointed to Trish, "I don't think so!" Jeff replied as he grabbed his water & turned around from Trish.

"He doesn't even know I know about him & Jackie, or that he is roomies with Punk." Trish replied as she followed him to be facing him again.

"Trish." Jeff said.

"It would be the perfect set-up…he wouldn't even suspect a thing." Trish replied.

"I am not listening to this." Jeff replied.

"Hardy…" Trish said before she was cut off.

"Stop! I don't want you involved with any of this." Jeff responded as he walked away in to the adjoining family room.

"So, there really going to get away with the things that they have done? To you, me, Maria, & Shawn?" Trish asked causing Jeff to stop in his tracks.

Jeff turned around, "They're going to pay for what they have done…but it will be on my time & my way & I don't want you involved with it...or anyone else…just stay away from them, okay?" Jeff said.

Trish stood there with her arms folded.

"Trish? Do you hear me?" Jeff asked.

"You're forgetting two small little details." Trish said.

"What?" Jeff asked as he took a sip of water. Trish approached Jeff.

"He thinks were still together…how do you expect me to break up with him, if you don't want me near him? And you still have to deal with Candice." Trish replied.

Jeff took another sip of his water…he hated when Trish had a valid point to this.

"End things with him tomorrow…over the phone…you don't have to see him." Jeff replied.

"Just like that?" Trish asked.

"Why not?" Jeff asked.

"You could break up with Candice just like that…over the phone?" Trish asked.

"Yeah…I could…and I kind of have already." Jeff replied.

"Is there something that you not telling me Hardy?" Trish asked.

Jeff was silent.

"Hardy?" Trish asked as she raised her eyebrow at Jeff, as he made his way onto the couch in the connecting family room from the kitchen. He leaned back & put his hands behind his head. Trish followed & sat on the coffee table across from him.

"What happened?" Trish asked as she sat down on the ottoman across from Jeff.

Jeff paused before he spoke.

"The last time I was in this room, I told you I still loved you, & you told me that you didn't love me anymore & to get out…and you defended that punk Jericho." Jeff said.

"I was trying to protect you." Trish said.

"From Jericho?" Jeff asked.

Trish smiled & let out a little laugh, "You know what I mean."

"Well…now it's my turn…to protect you." Jeff replied. There was a silence between the two new lovers. Trish was waiting for him to continue.

"I told Candice on the way over to the dance tonight, that we couldn't see each other anymore after tonight." Jeff said.

"What did she say?" Trish asked.

"I think she knew it was coming…she just didn't expect it so soon…like she was trying to hold onto something that wasn't really there to begin with." Jeff replied.

"Did you ever love her, Jeff…did a piece of you ever love Candice…when you were with her last summer?" Trish asked.

Jeff leaned up & placed his hands on Trish's legs, & she put her hands in his & listened intently. Jeff looked up to Trish.

"Candice has always been my friend…she's always treated me well…and never has let me down…don't get me wrong, she's no Amy…Amy is & will always be my best friend…no one can replace Amy in that. I care about Candice…but not in a romantic way…and not in the way that she wants me to. I love her as a friend…but that's it…kind of like you & Jericho, I guess." Jeff said.

Trish continued to look intently into Jeff's green eyes.

"So…to answer your question, no…I never loved her…I was never in love with her…because I was always in love with someone else…you." Jeff said.

Trish smiled.

"I'm sorry you feel bad about Candice & how things have gone down with her…I can see that you do." Trish said.

"I don't want to talk about it anymore…what's done is done…it's in the past…I just want to look to the future." Jeff said as he pulled Trish off the ottoman & into his lap.

Trish agreed as she rested her head on Jeff's chest, as Jeff was playing with her hands, running his fingers through hers.

Trish looked up to Jeff, "I love you."

"I love you, too." Jeff responded as he gave Trish a kiss, picking her up, & taking her up stairs to continue their earlier love making.

THE NEXT DAY:

AMY / MATT:

Matt was downstairs eating his toast for breakfast & reading the newspaper, when Amy walked downstairs to join him.

"Good morning." Matt said as he kissed Amy on her cheek, as she sat down beside him at the counter & took some pages from the newspaper that Matt had obviously finished reading.

"Have you heard from Jeff?" Amy asked.

"No…have you heard from Trish?" Matt asked.

"Nope…do you think we should go over there…to see if they are okay, & haven't killed each other?" Amy asked.

Before Matt could respond, his front door opened, & Jeff walked through it.

"Good morning Matt." Jeff said as he took a piece of Matt's toast. "Ames." Jeff said as he kissed Amy on top of her head, before leaving the kitchen to go take a shower.

"What the hell was that about?" Amy asked.

"Two words – Trish Stratus." Matt said, to which Amy smiled at Matt, who gave her an unexpected peck on her lips, causing Amy to laugh, which caused Matt to kiss her more all over her face.

"Matt!" Amy screamed laughing.

LILLIAN / CHRIS / MARIA:

"Good morning." Maria said to Chris as she made her way into the kitchen. Chris was looking out the big kitchen picture window over to the Stratus house.

"Morning." Chris replied as he handed Maria a cup of coffee.

Maria went & stood next to him, & looked over to the house too.

"Is Jeff still over there?" Maria asked.

"No…I saw him leave this morning." Chris said. "Did you sleep well?" Chris asked Maria.

"Yeah, I did. Thanks for letting me crash here last night." Maria said.

"Sure." Chris said.

There was a silence between the two.

"Chris?" Maria asked.

"Yeah?" Chris answered.

"Why don't you like John?" Maria asked.

"Not this again." Chris answered.

Maria looked at him curiously.

"He's an asshole…all he cares about is being number one with the ladies…sports…he's so damn full of himself." Chris replied.

"Really? Because you just described yourself too." Maria said as she put her cup of coffee down.

Before Jericho could respond, he turned around & saw Lillian there.

"Good morning beautiful." Chris said.

Lillian walked over to Chris & gave he gave her a peck on her cheek, & wrapped his arm around her waist as they looked out the window.

"I wonder if Jeff is still over there." Lillian asked.

"No…he left this morning…I saw him leave out of the driveway." Chris responded.

"I wonder if Trish is alright." Chris thought out loud.

"She's more than okay." Lillian responded with a smile on her face to which Chris & Maria caught.

"What do you know Lil? Are they back together?" Maria asked.

"They made love last night." Lillian replied & she & Maria screamed in excitement.

"Disgusting." Chris replied.

Maria & Lillian rolled their eyes at Jericho.

"Did she call you & tell you?" Maria asked Lillian.

"Well…last night I was out on the patio." Lillian said.

"You were? Why?" Chris asked.

"Thinking." Lillian replied.

"About what?" Chris asked.

Lillian & Maria looked to Chris irritated.

"Let her finish." Maria demanded.

"She spotted me, & came over. She said she had to get back before Jeff woke-up, & that is when I asked her, did you two….you know…and she said yes!" Lillian said.

"Awe…I am so happy for them." Maria said.

"Me too…but the sweetest thing was when she told me she was glad she waited because she couldn't imagine it being anyone else but Jeff." Lillian replied.

"If you two are going to make your salon appointment, you should really be going…it's getting late." Chris remarked.

"Oh my gosh…Chris is right." Lillian responded.

"Here, take my car." Chris said as he handed Lillian the keys.

"You sure?" Lillian asked.

"Yeah." Chris responded as he gave Lillian a kiss. "Call me if you need anything…like if you should run into…" Chris said.

"You can say his name, you know? CM Punk. I am not going to break." Maria replied.

"I'm sorry." Chris said.

"Don't be." Maria said, as she gave Chris a smile.

Chris waived Maria & Lillian off.

After the two BFF's were gone, Chris made his way over to Trish's. Chris was banging hard on the glass French door, kitchen door. Trish peaked through a window & saw it was Chris.

Trish opened the door, "Chris? Is something wrong?" Trish asked.

"Yeah." Chris responded as he made his way into the kitchen.

"What is it?" Trish asked, obviously worried.

"You had sex with Hardy? Really? What the fuck is wrong with you Stratus?" Chris yelled to Trish, who was in shock at the way her BFF was speaking to her.

JEFF / AMY / MATT:

Jeff was taking a shower when Amy entered his room & sat on his bed waiting for him to get out. She smiled to herself thinking that her BFF was the reason Jeff was out of being so "moody" & back to the Jeff she knew, but more importantly, they now had Candice out of their lives…and hopefully for good.

"No more Candice Michelle." Amy said out loud as she laid back on Jeff's bed. While waiting for Jeff to come out of the shower, Amy had a flashback to when things were good.

FLASHBACK:

It was Amy's 16th birthday party & she invited her closest friends over for a pool party at the Dumas mansion. Both of Amy's parents were doctors. Her mother, Christine, had a thriving OB/GYN practice, while her dad was one of the nation's best heart surgeons in the Southeast. Amy was an only child & her parents doted on her. They absolutely loved Matt – they loved him like the son they never had & they loved Trish like the second daughter they never had.

"Are you sure Jeff is coming?" Trish asked Amy as they carried the food out to the table for her guest.

"Positive…he Matt's brother & my best bud…I am sure he will be here." Amy responded.

Amy noticed Trish didn't say anything…and was looking around the Dumas backyard.

"I don't believe this." Amy responded as she laughed a little.

"What?" Trish asked annoyed.

"You…your nervous to see Jeff Hardy…I never thought that day would come." Amy said as she grinned.

"Don't laugh at me." Trish said irritated.

"I can't help it…its kind of cute." Amy said.

"What if he shows up with Candice Michelle?" Trish asked.

"I doubt that." Amy replied with a huge smile on her face. Trish looked behind her, to see Jeff enter the Dumas backyard in his swim trunks & a black tank top, with "I Love Trish Stratus" in big white block letters.

Jeff walked over to Amy & Trish.

"Nice shirt Jeffrey." Amy replied.

"You like it Ames?" Jeff asked.

Amy laughed, "I will leave you two alone."

Jeff took Amy's seat, & turned his hat around backwards.

"You love me?" Trish asked with a smile on her face.

"Figured I would make a statement with how I feel." Jeff replied.

"Good - That makes two of us." Trish said as she leaned in & gave him a kiss. Trish then stood up, unzipped her shorts, & took them off & walked passed Jeff. Jeff smiled to himself, as he removed his hat & his shirt & ran to pick Trish up & jumped in the pool with her in his arms, with her laughing & screaming.

"Amy? Amy!" Jeff screamed as he came out of his bathroom with a towel wrapped around him.

Amy came out of her daydreaming, "What happened last night? I want details." Amy said as she smiled.

"I want some privacy." Jeff responded.

"Jeffrey!" Amy said.

"Please, Ames…once I get dressed, I will tell you everything you want to know." Jeff replied.

"Everything?" Amy asked as she held out her pinky.

"Everything." Jeff replied as they pinky sweared.

CHRIS / TRISH:

"If you're going to talk to me like that, then you can leave." Trish said as she turned to walk away.

Chris ran to get in front of her & grabbed her arm lightly. "Wait – I am sorry. I didn't mean to snap at you. But…is it true? Did you sleep with Jeff?" Chris asked as he placed his hands on his hips.

Trish looked at Chris in the eyes, "Yes."

"Why would you do that? To get back at Gabriel?" Chris asked.

"No…of coarse not." Trish said appalled as she made her way over to the couch & sat down.

"Then why?" Chris asked as he sat beside her.

"Because I love him, Chris." Trish replied.

"You hate Jeff one minute…you're dating Justin Gabriel the next…5 minutes after that Justin is cheating on you…two seconds later you're jumping Hardy's bones." Chris said.

"Nice." Trish said.

"You know what I mean Stratus." Chris replied.

"I have spent almost 1 year trying to get over Jeff…trying to move on to someone else…but it just wasn't working…even before I found out about Justin, Jackie, & Punk…there was just no spark there." Trish replied.

"Does Justin know?" Chris asked.

"No…he doesn't…and I don't want you telling anyone about it." Trish said.

"Why? I thought you would be singing it to the whole world by now." Chris remarked.

"Just don't say anything, please?" Trish asked.

"I won't." Chris replied.

"So, Lillian told me last night that you loved her…do you?" Trish asked.

Chris smiled. "Yeah, I do…she's amazing."

Trish smiled, "She sure is…so if you hurt her, I will personally kick your ass…and end our friendship." Trish replied.

"Trish…" Chris trailed off.

"I'm serious, Jericho…Lillian Garcia is a very special lady…you're lucky to have her…so cherish her & every moment you have with each other." Trish replied.

Chris smiled, "You don't have to worry about that…and I better go...I'll see you later? Maybe you can come over later, & we can a few friends over & grill out?"

"Yeah…sure." Trish said.

JEFF / AMY:

Jeff held out his hand to Amy, "Come take a walk with me."

Amy grabbed Jeff's hand, & the two made their way out to walk the Hardy land.

"Where are we going?" Amy asked.

"I want to show you something." Jeff replied.

Amy & Jeff walked on the Hardy land; pushing through the woods. Spring was almost around the corner, & trees were starting to put there buds on; the grass was starting to turn green; & the temperature was still cool & brisk.

Jeff stopped in his tracks, as did Amy.

"WOW! It's amazing, Jeff." Amy replied. Jeff had finished restoring & remolding his great grandmother's house.

"Is this what you have been doing since you have been back?" Amy asked.

"Yeah." Jeff said, as he looked to his best friend. "Come inside, take a look."

Amy followed Jeff in the house amazed at all the work he had done; he took her room by room showing her the improvements to the house; and the yard – he had a stone patio put out back & in ground pool put in, complete with professional landscaping.

"Does Matt know about this?" Amy asked, as she & Jeff took a seat on the screened in porch.

"Yeah…and my dad…they helped me with some of it." Jeff said.

"Did you do this for Trish?" Amy asked.

Jeff smiled, & took a deep breath before he answered. "I guess I did. She always loved this place out here…to her it was a place she could get away from the world...she once said it she could picture herself, me, & our kids living here. Do you think she'll love it?" Jeff asked.

"Yeah…I think she'll love it. Speaking of Trish…what happened last night between you & Canada…is everything okay?" Amy asked.

"Yeah." Jeff replied.

"Details Jeff…you pinky promised." Amy replied.

Jeff smiled, as he began to blush. Jeff Hardy was a private person…especially when it came to his relationships…about the only 2 people he was an open book to (excluding Trish) was his brother, Matt & his best friend, Amy.

"I arrived at her house last night…Lillian, Maria, & Jericho were there. Jericho had been upstairs talking to Trish apparently, & when he came downstairs, we had a few words…which is nothing new…& he took Maria & Lillian to his house giving Trish & I some time alone." Jeff said.

"That was thoughtful of Jericho." Amy replied.

"Trish was a mess…she had all but destroyed her room." Jeff said.

"Why?" Amy asked concerned.

"She went to go see Justin after the fling, & found CM Punk banging Jackie Gayda…when Trish was about to leave, Justin apparently entered the room from another door & took Jackie for himself." Jeff replied.

"Shut up!" Amy replied.

"I could not make this stuff up, Ames." Jeff replied.

"So she found out that her so-called boyfriend was cheating on her…and apparently is roommates with CM Punk." Jeff said.

"What about you & Trish, though? Where does this leave ya'll?" Amy asked.

"We talked about our feelings for one another…we laid it all out on the line…everything we felt & do feel …where are minds had been the last year…and she finally confessed that she still loved me...one thing lead to another, & we made love…for the first time." Jeff said.

Amy smiled.

"What?" Jeff asked.

"That's awesome…so you two are official now…back together?" Amy asked.

"Well, yeah…we just have a few things that need to be done before we announce it though…she still needs to end it with Gabriel…and I still need to tell Candice, that we are officially done." Jeff replied.

"And then the plan is for you two to move in here together?" Amy asked.

"That's what I am hoping…but…" Jeff said.

"What?" Amy asked.

"She may not want to." Jeff said.

"Jeff, that is crazy…you know she will." Amy said.

There was a silence.

"Why do I get the feeling that there is something else?" Amy said.

Jeff looked to Amy; his green eyes meeting her brown ones.

"Trish wants to be with me…I mean, she is with me…but she wants to date Gabriel…undercover so to speak…so she can nail CM Punk to the wall for the things he has done." Jeff replied.

"You have to talk her out of it…I mean, you have seen Maria…what's to say Punk wouldn't do that to Trish once he found out what she was up to?" Amy replied.

"I can't lose her again…that is not an option for me." Jeff replied.

"So what are you going to do?" Amy asked.

Jeff turned to look Amy in the eyes, with a heavy heart. Amy knew the look on Jeff's face all too well, & her heart sank.

"Dammit." Amy barely let out & she turned her face from Jeff's, staring at the beautiful backyard Jeff had made for Trish.

TRISH:

Trish was upstairs finishing getting ready for the day. She was wearing a long, flowy light pink skirt, that barely hung on her hips & a short sleeve hot pink shirt that came just below her breast to bare her toned midriff. Her hair hung long & straight; she was planning to surprise Jeff by meeting up with Jeff at the Hardy's to see him & visit with his dad for a little while; maybe even talk Jeff into going to Chris's BBQ with her. After all, it was just close friends that were invited, & was a safe place for them to be seen together. Trish was attempting to clean up her mess of a room, when she had flashbacks of her & Jeff last night – him telling her he loved her – to her telling him she loved him, then to making love in the shower; then moving from the shower to her bed; then in the bed when he was on top of her & her him. She was snapped back to reality when she heard her doorbell ring. Smiling, Trish made her way down the grand spiral staircase & opened the door, hoping to see Jeff standing there.

"Did you miss me last night?" Justin asked a stunned Trish, who quickly lost her smile. Before she could answer, Justin walked in the doorway where Trish stood, & wrapped his arms around her.
