Chapter 35;

Matt's POV;

I had heard the front doorbell ringing as I had lay down on my bed ready to give in to the sleep and let it drag away this God awful day with it.

Getting up, I moved out to the hallway where Jeff and Cameron were stood talking to the police officers who had just closed the door behind them.

"We believe it was started intentionally. Mr Hardy there was someone in your house…and unfortunately they didn't make it out," The taller of the 2 officers informed my brother and his girl.

Cameron gasped as Jeff seemed to crumble once again. I quickly moved forward and placed a hand on my brother's shoulder as I wrapped my arm around Cameron pulling her close to me.

"There shouldn't have been anyone in the house! It was empty save for Jeff's dog," I said looking at the officer.

"Obviously the body is pretty badly burned, but we are confident that we will be able to identify them through dental records," The officer informed me. "Is there anyone who you can think of that would do this?"

Jeff looked at Cameron at the same time as I looked at her, which in turn caused the 2 men in front of us to look at her also.

Cameron looked from me to Jeff and we both nodded our heads, she sighed and informed the officers to follow her in to the living room as I offered to make coffee. This was going to be a long day and we would all need something to get through it.

Jeff followed me in to the kitchen and watched me as I moved around the kitchen.

"What?" I asked filling the kettle and placing it in to its rack then turning it on.

"You think it was Steven?" He asked and I could feel my heart returning to normal. Whenever Jeff looked at me like this I was always worried that he had figured out how I felt about Cameron; his girlfriend.

Mentally slapping myself for letting myself fall for the girl who was with my brother but I couldn't help the way I felt about her, she was just this amazing woman who made everyone around her feel calm and collected. It wasn't hard to see why I had fallen for her.

"I think it is a very strong possibility," I admitted placing sugar in the right mugs then milk in to everyone's except for Jeff and Cameron's.

"Damn it!" He growled angrily. "Why can't he just let her go? Why can't he just let her live her life the way she wants? Why can't he just accept that they are over?"

"Because Cam is right…he is unhinged Jeff; he doesn't think like we all do! He can't see that when she says she doesn't want to be with him she means it. To him she is still his property…"

"She was never his property!" He growled as he began pacing determinedly. "Cameron isn't…she doesn't belong to anyone…not even me! Why can't he see that?"

I knew this had to be frustrating for him; especially when Jeff didn't think like most people, when he was with someone he loved them whole heartedly but he didn't control people; preferring the people in his life to be their own person. It was just the way my little brother was and I knew that Cam appreciated it; after everything that she had been through I knew it must feel like a breath of fresh hair for her.

THE FOLLOWING DAY;

High Ridge; Missouri;

Randy's POV;

I knew that I had done the wrong thing from the minute that Jeff had gotten Cameron out of the ring that night I humiliated her 2 months or so ago.

From the minute that I had laid eyes on Cameron I had been drowning in her beauty. The thought of her being my manager had just built the thoughts that maybe one day we could be together.

When I had seen her hanging out with the Hardy boys I had seen the attraction to Jeff and vice versa. And somehow I had seen him as being the one in my way of having the girl I wanted so when I couldn't find anything on her with the name that she had given me, I had dug around and found out about her past.

My stupid ego had caused me to loose any chance of having her in my life at all when I had gotten in touch with Steven and placed him in front of her. Now she couldn't even bare to talk to me.

Turning on my computer, I loaded up the news page and saw an alert with Jeff Hardy's name on it. Please God no; don't have let anything happened to him at the hands of Steven! I wasn't the type of person who dealt with feeling remorse but Cameron had me feelings that were completely new to me.

WWE star Jeff Hardy's home in Cameron, North Carolina burned to the ground last night. He lost all his possessions, and his dog perished in the blaze.website, Hardy and his girlfriend were not home at the time. Jeff's brother, Matt, saw smoke coming from the home, but was too late to do anything about it. Jeff lived in a double-wide trailer..

According to legendary wrestling commentator Jim Ross'

The WWE has not yet released a statement

Without thought I picked up my phone and dialed Cameron's number and began pacing while I waited for her to answer.

"Come on Cameron!" I muttered to myself as I moved in to the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge.

"Hello?" Her sweet soft voice answered but it was masked with tears and an unhappiness that I knew I was the cause of.

"Cam?"

"Randy?" She asked as the sound of coughing and retching filtered down the line.

"Yeah it's me…"

"What do you want?" She chocked but the coughing and retching wasn't coming from her; it was too deep…Jeff?

I knew that I wasn't going to get a warm welcome when I called but I had to know that she was ok; I had to know that the article had been right and she and Jeff hadn't been in the fire.

"I just heard the news and I wanted to check how you are," I said softly.

"How do you think I am?" She demanded angrily. "Why are you calling me?"

"I-I…"

"Look I don't understand why you are calling me; I don't know if you think that somehow we are friends or whatever but we're not ok? You burned me…you brought that monster back in to my life and I can't just forget about that Randy…I just can't!" She said as the retching and coughing continued.

"Is that Jeff?" I asked blocking out what she had just said as the words burned through me like a hot prod marking me; telling me that I had ruined any chance of having her as my friend.

"Yeah he's sick…"

"Sick?"

"Yeah!" She replied in disbelief. "He has lost his home; he lost Jack and everything that he has worked so hard for…so you can understand why he is sick surely,"

"I'm sorry I didn't…"

"Didn't what? Think? No you didn't but that seems to be something that you are good at!" She spat at me angrily. "I can't…I'm going to go, I need to look after Jeff!"

"Sure!" I sighed. I never thought that I was going to get a warm reception but I was sure as hell going to make sure that I made it up to her any way that I could. "For what it's worth…I'm sorry!"

"Whatever!" She replied and hung up leaving the dial tone ringing in my ear yet again.

Hanging up, I placed my phone on the table and thought about how I could maybe at least try to make this better but as of yet nothing was making much sense in my head as I thought about what I had done.

I couldn't blame her for being mad at me; hell I would have shot me down in flames if I were her. They had lost everything and why? Because I couldn't handle loosing!

Cameron, North Carolina;

Cameron's POV;

Jeff was so stressed that he was making himself ill, sickness had seemed to take over his body from the minute that he had heard that someone had been in the house as it burned to the ground.

I knew that he was worried that it had been someone he knew, or a fan had somehow managed to get inside his home. I could feel my own panic at the thought of that but I was trying to remain strong for him, to help him through this because as much as I felt like I had lost something too; it was in actual fact Jeff's house and his stuff that he had lost.

But Jeff was such a huge part of me that I felt his loss weighing me down too, but I had Matt, he has been great since this whole thing. My big brother as he had dubbed himself had drove over to the house yesterday after the police had been, packed up some of CT's things and taken him back to his house where he said we could stay for as long as we needed.

Which of course gave Shifty and Amber the time alone that they needed; their relationship was still relatively new, which meant that it was all about sex and spending as much time together as possible and I hated invading on that.

I think that the time had come that I began looking for somewhere on my own for me and CT. But for now with the uncertainty of where Steven was, being in Matt's house, secluded and surrounded by the private grounds I felt safe and out of harms reach.

"What…did-he-want?" Jeff panted looking up at me as I pulled his hair from his handsome features.

"Just to say sorry," I whispered reaching my free hand to the washbasin and began to pour some cold water in to it.

"Sorry!?" He asked in disbelief before turning back to the toilet where he continued to empty the entire contents of his stomach in to it.

"Mmhmm! Seems to be a bit late in the fucking game for sorry if you ask me," I ranted angrily feeling my blood boil at Randy's nerve of calling me.

"I'm sorry…ba-baby!" He stuttered as the retching began to subside again while I placed a flannel in to the cold water and placed it to the back of his neck.

"What are you sorry for?" I asked confused.

"Not being able to su…"

"Will you stop!?" I said brushing the hair from his face as I pressed the cold flannel harder against his neck to cool him down. "After all the times that you have supported me and been there holding my hair back when I have been sick at the thought of Steven being back…this is the least I can do! So I want you to push the thought of not supporting me to the back of your head ok?"

"Y-You're…the…be-best!" He stuttered as a fresh string of retching started up again; making his body almost convulse uncontrollably.

"Mmm so I've been told," I smiled as he glanced up at me.

I was more than worried about him; his eyes had lost their natural sexy sparkle, his face was so white that it was almost grey in color, he was loosing weight rapidly at the amount he was being sick; it was almost like he couldn't keep anything done, his long dark multi colored hair was limp and lifeless as he seemed to sink further and further in to this funk.

Jeff's POV;

I couldn't stop the smile from coming to my face at her words; it was good to hear her taking a compliment for a change rather than denying what I was complimenting her for.

The minute the smile formed on my face; I instantly felt guilty about it. Someone had died in my house as it burned, someone had been inside and I was more than worried that somehow a fan had managed to get inside; it wouldn't have been the first time.

Then at the same time, I was grateful that it hadn't been Ron, CT and me in that fire, there was no way that we would be here if it had. There was no getting out of that fire: it was just too fierce and wild.

"Oooh…and-mod-modest too," I chuckled painfully as my stomach twisted in knots and made the retching turn more violent in the process.

"I try my best handsome," She smiled placing her lips to my cheek as she held the cold flannel behind my neck, which I had to admit was cooling down the temperature that seemed to run through me.

"I-I…I-lo-love-y-you…R-Ron!" I stumbled as finally the retching stopped and I slumped to the floor of the ensuite that was in our room.

I had to admit that Matt had been great; without thought he had offered us his home, and had gone to collect CT who loved it at his Uncle Matt's house; he had room to run around and Cameron didn't seem to worry so much about him being outside alone here.

"I love you too baby," Ron whispered as she helped me to my feet.

Ushering me slowly to the bedroom and in to the bed where I had pretty much spent the past day.

"S-stay…w-with me!?" I pleaded grabbing her hand with more strength than I thought I possessed. "Just…u-until I-I…f-fall asleep!"

"You got it baby," She smiled as she climbed on to the bed with me and wrapped me up in to her amazingly warm and comforting embrace.

Resting my head against her chest, I wrapped my own arms around her and held her as close to me as possible. I didn't know how long it would take the police to get an ID on the body that had been found in my house but I just wished that I could get some kind of closure on it already.

"I-I…I-I'm sorry that I h-haven't b-been much c-company…"

"Stop it Jeffrey Nero Hardy!" She scolded me and it wasn't hard to tell that she was a Mother from the tone in her voice. Gently she pulled my head back from her chest. "I don't want to hear that from you ok? You have just lost everything…you lost…J-Jack…" Instantly her own voice began to break. "I don't expect you to be the man that…just don't feel like you have to apologize to me ok?"

Nodding my head, I let it fall back against her chest and listened to the steady calming beat of her heart and slowly could feel my eyes closing; as sleep circled around me; slowly closing in until I was slipping slowly out of this nightmare that I had been forced in to.

Just as the sleep was getting ready to grip me completely; a knock at the bedroom door tore through it and forced me back in to reality where I didn't want to be for now.

"Yeah?" Ron said softly as my head lifted from her chest and caused her to talk normally. "Come in,"

"Hey kids," Matt said pushing the door open slightly. "Are you decent?"

"Of course," Ron giggled softly as the smile formed in the corners of my mouth.

"The police are downstairs; they want to talk to you Jeff," My big brother informed us.

"Ok," I sighed releasing myself reluctantly from my girls embrace and shakily got to my feet.

Because of all the sickness I didn't have anything in my system so normal and natural movements seemed to be more of an effort. Ron must have sensed it as she slid off the bed next to me and supported me as we moved out of the bedroom towards the stairs.

Walking in to the living room leaning on Ron we both saw the same police officers from the previous morning as they looked up at us and stood to their feet.

"Miss Reid, Mr Hardy we have the results from the dental records," The taller of the 2 officers said softly.

"Yes?" Ron asked looking at them cautiously as both of them seemed to focus on her. "Who was it?"
