Chapter 25

Back in Atlanta Evie sits on the cold hard examining table in Dr. Sheldon's office. Dr. Harry Sheldon walks in to the room his face a practiced mask of no emotion. "You may get dressed"

Evie pulls on her clothes under the paper gown. "Well, am I pregnant?" Evie asks after removing the paper gown revealing her once again clothed body. She slides down and sits in the chair next to the exam table, now looking up at one of the best doctors in the US. His grey eyes his long blonde hair, and his strong jaw line. Her eyes drift down to his lean frame. She shook herself and waited for him to speak.

Dr. Sheldon clears his throat as he skirts the black Formica counter that lined the overly pristine white room. Sheldon pulls his white metallic clip board into his lap. "to answer your question, negative you are not with child." He watches as she breathed a sigh. What he said next he wished he could erase. "I'm afraid what you felt all of your symptoms are a condition where your fallopian tubes are blocked and enlarged. It can be caused by many things your chart says you were sickly when you were a child. I want to send you to an associate of mine. This is a very serious condition especially with the discomfort you spoke of on the telephone. If left untreated you could become infertile permanently among other things. Sheldon scribbled his orders on a light blue prescription pad and tears off the top page and hands it to her.

Evie gets to her feet thanks the doctor in a voice a little over a whisper. Her world was falling apart. Not only was she not pregnant but there was a large chance that she would never have children. She walks to her rental and just sits in the parking lot when she closed her car door the flood gates opened and she let herself cry. Large tears streamed down her otherwise polished complexion taking large globs of her black waterproof mascara down her cheeks.

On the plane Jeff sits in a window seat next to a very excited fan girl who keeps staring at him. He would have had a first class ticket like everyone else that was heading back to Texas but in order to keep the ticket Glenn threaten to shove him inside a standing ashtray in the ally of a dirty Indianapolis downtown street. Jeff was ordered to not only refund the money for the roundtrip but to also not go back to the house or near Angel ever again. Glenn had Mark take a picture of the ashtray with Jeff forced to kneel before it with his face mere inches from the top where a homeless man had just spit.

Jeff thought Mark was neutral about the Angel thing, so the next day during practice Jeff tested the waters with Mark and that got him pinned up against a ring post and punched in the gut for his trouble. Jeff still had trouble breathing in without pain. Upon landing in Grandville North his cell phone sings So What.. by Pink. Jeff answers it as he finds his rental so he can head to the next town by ground. He'd called ahead and had an out of town rental company drop the car at the airport. The little man in the cube handed him his rental keys with a smile.

"I don't know how you got a rental company to drop a car here but you must be rich"

"Fuck you" Jeff growls as he gets in the car and slams the door. The song on his cell phone rings again his first instinct is to throw the phone out the window. Then it hit him Evie had forgiven him she was calling. He hits send and peels out of the parking lot.

Evie had barely slept on the flight back to Texas. Now she sits in a rundown hotel on a filthy hotel bed. When she'd got in last night this flea bag was the only hotel in the state it seemed that didn't have a sign outside saying it was booked for WM weekend.

She thought glumly Well Jeff will be happy there is no child to cramp his style. Something crawled across her foot and that was it she ran out of the room and jumped in her rental and sped away, even though she had no destination in mind she had to get away from the filth she had just slept in. She tried to call Jeff it went straight to Voice mail. "Jeff, please call me back. I'm in a really low place I need you." She then pushed end.

She felt herself getting jittery from all the emotions she was bottoming out sugar and energy wise. She pulled in the parking lot of a Taco Bell she really didn't feel like eating anything but passing out in the middle of nowhere wouldn't be good.

She tried Jeff's number again. He probably missed his flight if it weren't for her he wouldn't catch any of his pre planned trips. He answered and she became breathless, all her emotions fighting to make themselves heard at once. She squeezed her eyes shut at the sound of his voice. "Jeffery you don't have to worry about being a father, I'm not pregnant. I may never be pregnant" Once again the emotions won out and she once again broke down crying.

"I'm sure you're wrong. I'm sorry you're not pregnant. I'm also sorry I made such a stink and everything." With that said Jeff breathed in and winced and breathed out through his teeth.

Evie heard it and asked what was wrong. Jeff told her about how Taker had probably broken one of his ribs during practice. "You probably deserved it. Just be glad Kane didn't get a hold of you. He clearly has a crush on Angel and you did threaten and scare the shit out of her." Evie gets a web update from facebook and myspace "hold on" she opens the update link and smiles. It was the first smile she'd shed in 48 hours. She reopens the call to Jeff. "It looks like you and I have something in common I slept in something loosely called a hotel and you had a face full of filth for dinner. You'll be famous for another reason now you're the Ashtray Hardy it's on myspace and facebook"

Jeff was pissed, in pain, ashamed, and embarrassed "Yeah, well at least unlike you. I can fucking reproduce you're a shell. I felt bad for you. This all happened because of YOU, now for you to tease me."

"Don't you DARE PUT THIS ON MY DOORSTEP!" Evie half screeched half sobbed.

"No you were the one sneaking around not telling people that you're supposed to love, what's going on. I want you to answer me this when you thought you were pregnant why not tell me? I'll tell you why because it probably wouldn't have been mine anyway I see how you look at John Cena and Morrison I just never said anything. I love you Evie" Jeff knew it was over before he started speaking the plane ride, and the long road from North Grandville to Huston he'd taken a few things to keep him awake. He reached for some other pills for the pain as he reached across the seat into his duffel bag, all it took was a split second for him to hit the Meriden and send his car into the air over the overpass and into a thick stand of trees. The car hit and snapped trees on its way down it went over a retaining wall, hit the pavement, and spun 360 degrees landing in the opposite lane. A small car hits him head on and his air bags explode.

Evie heard the entire thing she was about to scream a retort at him. When she heard him yell out "Fuck ME!", after that there was a symphony of wind and metal crashing and crunching, traffic and horns and more crashing. "JEFF… JEFF…Jeff please answer me if you can hear me please Jeff." Her Finish accent accentuates each syllable. No answer was afforded her.

Evie stands in line inside Taco Bell because the Drive thru was packed. She stands holding her Android to her ear as if it will put her that much closer to Jeff. People had begun to stare at the woman in dirty clothing with tear lines streaking her face. When she heard fire sirens and police sirens a thought runs through her head like a shot to the gut she bent over in pain. He was gone she was alone again. That thought sent her to the floor as her world went fuzzy then black.
