Matt couldn't believe that his plan to get Briana into his bed and break up her and Adam didn't work. He had planned out perfectly. He put the drugs in both of the drinks on the table so, no matter which drink she picked, she would get the drug. He had waited to make sure he was the one she ran into when she headed back up. But somehow she didn't leave where he could see her. He wondered if she left alone or with someone. He had to find out who she was with. The only thing she knew was she wasn't with Adam.

"So, did Briana tell you where she was the other night?" Jay asked Adam as they were getting ready for a training match.

"She said she stayed in another room. She just needed time to cool off after the fight and to think about things."

"Think about what?"

"She wants to work out what is going on. I want that too."

"Can you stop bringing up Krissy?"

"I don't' know. I hope I can. Jay, if I can't stop what I keep doing, Briana will leave. Maybe I was right to begin with. I should have not dated anyone or got married. I know Briana is in my heart. She is. I love her with my whole heart but what I felt for Krissy is still there too. I don't know how to describe it other than that it's like my heart is fighting itself. Briana against Krissy as to who I love more."

"Adam, Krissy is not here and she is not coming back. She is dead. Briana is here. She loves you and I know you love her. You can't keep living in the past."

"I know that. I thought I was moving on. I fell in love with Briana and we had Ethan. I thought I was doing great. But something is going on. It keeps taking me back to Krissy and I keep hurting Briana over and over again. I'm pushing my wife away and I have no idea how to stop it."

"Adam, you need to think about what you want. If you keep yourself in love with Krissy, then you and Briana have no chance. Think about Payton and Ethan. They need you and Briana. But you can't be happy with your family if you are in the past with Krissy."

"Right. Well, enough of this, let's go kick a little butt." They headed out for their match.

Jay hoped that Adam would work through things. He knew that Adam loved Briana but if something didn't change, he would lose her.

Briana sat in catering with Payton and Ethan eating lunch. She was thinking about things. Everything was so stressful right now. She and Adam seemed to be drifting apart and she had no idea what to do to fix it. She couldn't compete with his dead wife. She wasn't Krissy and she could never be her. She had started to wonder if marrying him was the right thing. She knew he wasn't completely over Krissy. But she hoped he would move on and they could be happy together with Payton and Ethan.

"Mommy, are you okay?" Payton asked her bringing her out of her thoughts.

"Yes. I'm fine baby. So, what do you want to do after lunch?"

"Can we go to the zoo? I had so much fun the other day."

"How about we go to the hotel and watch a movie?"

"Okay if I can pick it?"

"Of course you can." Briana laughed. She loved her kids so much and all she wanted was to make things work. But she knew that it wouldn't be good for them if she and Adam were unhappy together. She honestly didn't know what to do.

After lunch, she and the kids headed to the hotel. She left Adam a message saying where they were. Once they were at the hotel, she put in the movie and put Ethan down for his nap. Soon Payton was asleep also. Briana looked at both them not sure what was going to happen now.

It was then that she heard a knock on the door. She wasn't surprise to see Chris there.

"Hey, I thought you would be at the arena." Briana said opening the door.

"I heard Adam and Jay talking and I figured you needed someone to talk to."

"Everything is messed up. I can't compete with Krissy. How can I compete with a dead woman? I thought Adam was moving on and we were building a family together. But it doesn't feel that now."

"Briana, you aren't expected to compete with Krissy. She is Adam's past. You are his future. You, Payton and Ethan. You know he loves you."

"I know he loves me, I do know that. But I know he loves her more. Whatever he felt for her isn't gone. It's there and it's like she is his wife and I'm just the other woman. How do I deal with that?"

"You have to make Adam see how much he loves you. He will realize that you are his heart. You are the one."

"I don't know. It's like whatever was connecting us in the beginning isn't there anymore. I want to make it work but he keeps pulling away and he keeps telling me that I'm not Krissy or I'm not Payton's mom. He apologizes when he says it but then he says it again. It hurts so much when he does." She replied starting to cry.

"I know." He hugged her. He just comforted her while she cried over things. He felt bad that Adam was doing this to her. He knew that Adam loved her but whatever was going on that was bringing up Krissy was causing the problems between him and Briana.

"I'm sorry for dumping all this you." Briana wiped her tears.

"Hey, it's not a problem. You needed someone to talk to."

"But I shouldn't be dumping this one you."

"Brie, we're friends. That is what friends do. Something else going on? Like where you were the other night?"

"I just needed some time away. To think." Briana didn't want anyone to know what happen the other night when she and Adam fought. Mainly because she had no idea what or why it happened.

"Brie, you know you can talk to me and I won't tell Adam what you say."

"Chris, I won't put you in a position to keep secrets from Adam. I needed to think and some time away was the best thing. That's it."

"Okay. Well, I'm out of here. Brie, I promise things will work for you and Adam." He hugged her again.

"I hope so." She watched him leave.

Once he was gone, she thought about the other night. She was upset about the fight she and Adam had. Then Matt came and talked to her at the restaurant and made it a point to hit on her and see if she and Adam were over. She just needed the time away from it. But where she ended up, she had no idea how or why. It wasn't something she planned. But for a brief moment, all the issues she was dealing with weren't there. And she needed that. But now, she wanted to make things work with Adam but she wasn't sure if they could be.
