A/N: School has been rather annoying lately, I can't get as much writing done with all these finals and soon to be new classes. But I tried to get this out as quickly as possible, not to mention I'm working on my other story (Best Friends, Ex-Friends Til the End) and it's taking up a lot of time too. But don't worry! I'll keep making time for this story :D

Chapter Twenty-Six: Whodunit?

"It was, Matt?" Randy asked, very confused, the same feeling that was swirling inside all of us.

"Why would Matt do this?" I couldn't fathom any reason, maybe we were just mistaken. I took the picture from C and looked at it very carefully, until the point were I was one hundred percent sure that it was in fact Matt.

"Who knows… jealously… maybe?" Chris offered.

"Jealous of what?" Jason chimed in, after a few minutes of silence from him.

"I have no idea, but why don't we go find out?" C said, rushing towards the doors.

*****

Five minutes later, cue all five of us cramped into Chris' car. I was in the back, squished between Jason and Randy… yeah, talk about awkward, huh? Meanwhile, C was sitting up front, legs propped up against the dashboard, and Chris sat comfortably in the driver's seat.

"Remind me why I'm stuck in the back." I stated, just a little hint of exasperation present.

"Because I called shotgun!" C said sticking out his tongue.

"And I'm the driver, it's my car." Chris said with a smug smile that I wanted to slap off his face.

A few minutes of quiet went by, not even the radio on to ease the uncomfortable silence. C repeatedly fogged up the window with his own breathe to write various sayings on the window, which in turn, made Chris punch him and start a short argument about 'respecting the car'.

"So did anyone figure out why Matt kidnapped him?" Jason blurted out, shattering the silence into a million pieces.

"I have an idea," C said, wiping the writing off the window with his sleeve. "What if he's jealous."

"We already said that," Jason added, visibly agitated.

"Well you guys didn't say what you thought he was jealous of." He finished cleaning the window before speaking again. "Maybe he's jealous of Jeff and Riley."

"What?!" The four remaining sane people in the car blurted out simultaneously.

"Why would you think that?" Randy asked, clearly not convinced of C's theory.

"Oh you guys didn't know? Maybe I should have said something earlier," C pondered to himself out loud.

"Just get on with it," Chris said impatiently.

"Well, a few months ago Matt said something about liking Riley, but I wasn't supposed to tell anyone." He shook his head, probably disappointed in himself for not thinking of it earlier. "You're a very popular girl Riley."

"Yeah, it's rather irritating." I said, being completely honest.

Now granted, not everyone likes me. Nobody in this world is so perfect that everyone worships at their feet, I definitely know that. I have my fair share of enemies, but it seems that most of the people I befriend, seem to end up liking me, which is not a good thing.

"Wait a minute. What's that supposed to mean?" Randy cut in.

"Well, everyone in this car wants her, just admit it!" C said rather bluntly.

"Hey! Don't include me in this!" Chris said defensively. "I've had enough of Riley for a lifetime," he said smiling.

"CHRIS!" I shouted immediately after the words registered in my mind.

I looked around at the three other blank, and somewhat perplexed faces.

"What are you saying?" C leaned over closer to Chris.

"Nothing, I'm saying nothing," he readjusted the mirror only to see me staring daggers at him. "Just pretend like that never happened."

"No, no, now I'm very curious," Randy said with a devilish smile.

Jason sat quiet for the most part, but looked completely intrigued by the conversation.

"Well… err-" He stammered for a few seconds. "Riles?" He said, turning the spotlight over to me.

"I don't want to talk about it." I folded my arms rather childishly, and only looked ahead, avoiding all of their determined glares.

They wanted to know what was up, and I had a feeling they were going to find out one way or another.

"Oooh, I GET IT!" C hollered, his brain churning away with ideas.

Jason looked at C and he simply nodded. "Noooo," his voice was on the brink of disbelief.

"YOU SLEPT WITH CHRIS?!" Randy finally shouted, revealing exactly what was on C and Jason's mind.

"More than once," Chris beamed, "try somewhere around a million times. Okay that may be a bit of an exaggeration, but still, I've seen plenty of her."

I dropped my face into my hands, mortification overtaking me. They all started bickering wildly about this and that, their own little speculations, when Chris' voice bellowed over top of them.

"ENOUGH!" Although he screamed loud enough to shatter a person's ear drums, his face remained calm. "It's not a big deal, and now Riley is embarrassed so let's just drop it. Sorry Riles," he said with a completely innocent look.

"But-" Randy started to protest.

Just as Chris was about to have another meltdown, I spoke up.

"No, it's fine. I'll explain it." I looked between the three inquisitive faces, "it was awhile ago, before I even started wrestling. We lead everyone on to believe that we didn't know each other previously, but we had. We dated for some time, and then broke it off once I was preparing to make my debut." I shook my head slowly. "But NONE," I very much stressed that word, "of you can tell my father. He has no idea."

"Yeah, and I'd like to stay on the good side of that man."

"Don't we all?" They joined together for a laugh.

I didn't laugh, but I did start to cool off. I just can't believe that cat is out of the bag. I never wanted anyone to know that Chris and I had been together at one point, especially not Jeff, what would he think if he found out I'd slept with one of my current best friends?

Oh wait, Jeff? I completely lost sight of why we were all cramped together for this godforsaken car ride in the first place.

"Where are we going anyway?" I asked, remembering the task at hand.

"To Matt's hotel, it's a start," Chris flipped on the turn signal.

"It's a logical first place," Jason said agreeably.

As we pulled into the hotel parking lot something immediately struck me as odd, Matt's car was parked very close to the front of the lot. I've known him for awhile now, and typically he likes to park in the back, for extra exercise, or so he says.

That's when I saw Jeff, standing in front of the hotel, looking as confused and disoriented as a lost puppy. He flagged us down when we pulled up to the hotel entrance. I hopped over top of Randy and nearly crashed right into Jeff.

"What are you doing?" I asked taking his hand.

The car screeched to a halt and the rest of the gang filed out.

"What? I don't know, Matt made me come here. I was up…" he paused for a second to think, "he forced me out of the hospital window. I fell on my bad leg and couldn't walk," he stumbled a little.

"Why don't you sit in the car?" Randy asked, opening the passenger side door for him.

He took his time and with the help of two of us, he sat down to finish telling his story.

"Matt forced me to walk to his car with him, and he drove me here. He took me up to the room and starting tying my hands up, I had no idea what he was gonna do."

"Did he have a gun or something?" Jason asked, leaning against the car.

"No dude, he didn't have anything."

"Then why the hell would you go?" Randy inquired.

"He said he would hurt Riley if I didn't listen to everything he said. He had a crazy look in his eyes, he wasn't my brother anymore, so I did what he said, I believed he would hurt you," he looked up at me and sniffled a bit. "When he was tying me up he looked away for a second and I took my chance. I ran out of there as fast as I could, but I didn't get away that quick, thanks to this bum leg. He didn't seem to have followed me, and when I got out here you guys showed up."

"Wow man, we're just glad you're alright." Chris said sincerely.

"Yeah, it was just trippy. I have no idea what got into him, or what he wanted or anything. I'm just glad I got out of there, and I hope that he's over whatever demons overtook him for those moments."

"Yeah, he sounds a bit whacked right now," C added. "Well maybe you'd like to hear something funny to cheer you up," I knew what was coming but I couldn't stop him.

Mind you, C didn't know that Jeff and I were dating at that point. Actually, no one knew but me, Jeff, and Jason. And Jason only knew by accident.

"Did you know that Riley and Chris had been getting it on back before she came to the WWE?" C said without hesitation. I'm guessing he can't keep secrets well, but in his defense he didn't know about Jeff and I.

Jason, Chris, and Randy exchanged worried looks, while I only focused on one person's face… And that face, was looking more pissed off than I had ever seen it.

Thanks, C, thanks a lot.

So, as Riley put it, the cat is finally out of the bag... Now Jeff knows that Riley had slept with one of her current best friends, will he be mad or let it slide? And what the hell is up with Randy being so nice all of a sudden, did he really have a change of heart, or is he simply setting yet another one of his brilliant traps? But wait, let's not forget about Mr. Matthew Hardy! Why did he kidnap Jeff in the first place? All of these issues will be in the next chapter!
Oh yeah, I almost forgot, a very special thanks to JohnCenaFan, Jyessie Abbey McMahon Hardy, Kayla Smiley, XtremeJeff'sAngel, Livin on the EDGE (yeah sorry, I should have given a hint or two), WilliamTA (for a brief moment I wanted Randy to be a good guy xD), and JeffsGoneGangsta (all of your guesses were my potential candidates before I decided on Matt, good guesses!).

Please leave a review with your opinon, did you like it, or hate it? Either way, let me know what you thought :D
