A/N: Well I want to thank all of you for reading the last chapter! I appreciate it. Thank yous go to hardyrhodescenafan1, StackRockDiva, InkyDoodle (Scarlett Boots), ShannonxMoore'sxLoverx and Siibi. I love reading all of your reviews, they made me laugh and smile...considering the crappy week I've had this week.
Yeah, so Jeff left...I'm so bummed. It sucks. I cried like a baby that weekend and I've been watching tributes for him all day, everyday...I just can't believe he's really gone from wrestling. At least he'll get a break though and rest a bit. I hope he comes back though!
And RAW? Trish as guest host was awesome. She looked gorgeous, I love her hair that color...lol.
Anyway, so here as promised is chapter 35! Enjoy!

Chapter 35: Intervention
Whispering Pines, NC;
Ritchie's House;
The Following Day;
-
I groaned as I heard my cell phone ring so early in the morning. I turned my head to see where it was and I grabbed it, dusting off some of the cocaine that had made it's way onto it and I opened it. Of course, Matt was calling.
"Hello?" I asked rather annoyed as Ritchie walked into the living room and grabbed the cash I was handing him.
"Good Morning to you too sunshine." he said sarcastically.
"Yeah yeah. So why on earth did you call me at this ungodly hour." I asked as I stood up and started cleaning up the table.
-
Matt's POV;
-
I looked around at everyone who was sitting there and listening to our conversation that was on speaker.
"I uh, I need you to come by the house for a bit." I told her as Jeff nodded in approval.
"For?" she asked.
I needed to think of an excuse, so I just thought of the first thing that came to mind.
"Dad's birthday is coming up and Jeff, myself and I decided to throw him a surprise birthday party, so we want you here to help us plan somf stuff out." I said hoping she'd believe my lie.
It was quiet for a minute or two until she spoke again.
"Alright, fine. I'll be there in about 20 minutes." she said with a slight sigh.
"See you in a bit." I said as we hung up.
I hung up and sighed, looking at everyone. Jeff patted me on the back and I gave him a small smile.
I looked over at the person who would be managing the intervention, Dr. Collins.
"At least she's on her way. I want everyone to know that she might be a bit upset when she gets here, but please don't take anything she says to heart. We are here to help her and that's exactly what will happen. She'll get help."
"I hope so." I heard my father say as we all nodded and waited for her to come.
-
Ellie's POV;
-
Stupid party. Why couldn't we just discuss it over the phone? I mean really, is it necessary to go over there and plan his party. It can be done on the phone.
Sighing in frustration, I finally made it to Matt's house and parked my car. As soon as I stepped out, I walked to his door and knocked. I heard him yell come in, so I entered and I made my way to the living room.
"Okay, so when will the-" I said but stopped when I saw everyone in the living room sitting down.
When I say everyone, I mean everyone. Ashley, Maria, Punk, Randy, Matt, Jeff, Dad, Joanna, John, Beth and Shannon? I asked myself.
"What's going on here?" I asked looking around at everyone until someone stood up and I put my attention on them.
"Ellie, I'm Dr. Collins and this is your intervention." he stated calmly.
Intervention?! What. The. Fuck? Sure, I have some problems but they're not that bad.
"Nope, no no no no no. Not gonna happen. I'm out of here." I said as I started walking away.
Joanna stood up and grabbed my arm, pleading me with her eyes to stay. I pulled away and stared at her and everyone else.
"Why should I stay here? So you all can tell me what I'm doing wrong with my life? So you can judge me and criticize me?"
"No. So you can get help and fight this battle. We all want to see you get better and we're willing to help." she told me.
I looked around at everyone and decided to not be so stubborn and at least hear them out.
I folded my arms across my chest and sat down on the seat that they had left open for me, the doctor then had Matt, Jeff & my dad speak first.
They gave a nice little speech and it was heartwarming, really, but I kind of still don't see why I'm here and have to listen. Sigh.
Everyone else talked and gave their speeches, but Jeff spoke again at the end and I was a little confused.
"I know I spoke before with Dad & Matt, but I wanted to really talk to you, and this is just from my behalf. El, I know that you've had your fair share of problems in the past but I don't think taking or using drugs is the answer. Everyone here knows that I've had a past too, but I've moved on and I've become a better person. We hate seeing you go down this road and we hate what you have become. You're not the same person that you were. You've changed. We want you to be happy and live life without drugs. El, we love you so much and we are all here to help you get better. Please, don't be mad at us. Let us help, go get get help and prove to us that you can do this." he pleaded.
Tears stung my eyes after Jeff spoke and it was quiet. Everyone looked at each other and then at me. I saw John & Joanna smile softly at each other as well. Sighing I took a deep breath and looked at Dr. Collins.
"I want to do it. I want to get help."
-
Nope. I want to go back home.
After I decided to get some help, I packed the very same day and I drove with Matt, Jeff, Beth, Dad and Dr. Collins to the rehab facility, which is where we are now.
Don't get me wrong, it looks nice and the people seem friendly, but just knowing I'll have to be here for a while and not being able to spend time at home with my family sucks.
"Don't worry El. Everything will be just fine." Beth said to me as we pulled up to the front and we stepped out of the car.
"I know, I'm just scared." I admitted as I grabbed my suitcase with all my belongings.
She looked at me and gave me a hug. We broke apart and I looked up at the building, a bit nervous about what to expect. What if I didn't get help? What if I go back to it after I leave here. I felt Jeff touch my shoulder, reassuring me that everything would be fine. I gave him a small smile and took a deep breath as we all went inside.
Well, here goes nothing.

A/N: Yay! Another chapter!!! Soooo...what do you think? I'm happy she got help aren't you?...lol. Oh and I decided to combine the next two chapters together since it can blend in...so there is officially four chapters left of the story. Here's a little update on the story though...
I recently started college and I'm working on finishing some papers and all that, so that I have time to work on this story and the sequel. Updates might be slow, but you will get them, so don't worry. Just remember, I have a life too...lol. But I'm hoping to finish this story by next month and then the sequel will be up hopefully in November/Early December...so please...bare with me :o)
And...I'll reply to your reviews from now on...yay!...
Hardyrhodescenafan1 - Ask and you shall receive...lol. Oh and I was able to read Our Own Legacy...stupid internet was giving me problems...lol.
StackRockDiva - Yep yep. She quit. She's so stupid, if I say so myself. As far as John goes, I don't think he would abandon them, but of course he's just looking out for his girlfriend and not wanting her to end up being hurt. I still think he wouldn't abandon his friends though...lol.
Scarlett Boots - Make that four chapters now...lol. Don't worry, the sequel has the first five chapters already typed up. I think they are getting a bit dusty of sitting in my flash drive...lol. But as promised, here is the update and the sequel will follow up soon!!!
ShannonxMoore'sxLoverx - Awww, don't you worry. Shannon will be back in the picture very, very soon. We'll see what happens with Ellie & Shannon :o)
Siibi - Yeah, she screwed up a bit...lol, but let's not give up on her so easily...lol. As far as Ellie going out with Maryse, that might not happen...lol, but they can be friends :o)
