*** Hey there! This chapter is a lot of fluff, but I think it's still entertaining. The song is "Wishing Well". If you get a chance, PLEASE review. Enjoy! ***
// Here goes another day another hug
And a kiss and we're on our way //
"Morning," Matt said as Trish came downstairs in her pajamas.
"What are you doing up so early on a Saturday?" Trish asked, getting herself a cup of coffee.
"I thought I would go for a run and then come back and lift," Matt said. "Did I wake you up when I got up?"
"No," Trish said. "You woke me up when you weren't next to me."
"I see," Matt said, turning to smile at her. "God, how can you still be so beautiful with no make-up or anything on?"
"Maybe you just think I look beautiful," Trish said blushing, "but I'm really a hag."
"No," Matt said, kissing her lightly. "You're beautiful."
"Thanks," Trish said.
"I'll see you in an hour or so," Matt said, kissing her once more before leaving to go workout.
// A cup of coffee for the road
Baby I can't wait to get back home //
"It hurts," Trish whispered to her trainer. She was holding up a weight with her leg which was putting a lot of pressure on her discs that were recovered, but not back to normal.
"I know it does Trish," the woman said kindly. "But you've got to do this if you're ever going to get back to a hundred percent."
"I know," Trish said, gritting her teeth. "Tell me I'm doing a good job please."
"You're doing a great job," the trainer said. "You'll be fine in a month or so."
"That's good," Trish said. "I don't want to keep Matt out of action much longer."
"You're done for the day," the trainer said, helping Trish put the weights back down. "Go home to your boyfriend."
// We juggle all our hopes and dreams
With a million responsibilities //
"You can go back you know," Trish said to Matt while they were watching RAW together that night. They were cuddled up on the couch in front of the TV.
"No I can't," Matt said. "I need you to be there to keep from killing Jeff."
"Honey," Trish sighed. "You need to forgive your brother."
"Do you realize how lucky you are that you got out of that fall you took with just herniated discs?" Matt asked. "Jeff never should have put you in jeopardy like that."
"Matt, I love that you feel so strongly because I got hurt," Trish said, stroking his face gently. "But he's your brother, your blood."
// And now and then we drop the ball
We learn sometimes but we never fail //
"Jericho," Matt said when Chris Jericho turned up on his doorstep three days later.
"Hey man," Jericho said. "I needed to get away from everything. I called Trish."
"When?" Matt asked.
"This morning," Jericho said.
"I just got in," Matt explained. "She's in training right now. You want lunch or something?"
"Sure," Jericho said.
// Look at me, look at you
Look at all that we've been through
With a lot of love and a little luck //
"You two are amazing," Jericho said, staring at his friends.
"What?" Trish asked.
"No one would have imagined you guys ever being so in tune with each other," Jericho said. "But you seem to anticipate each other so much."
"What can I say?" Matt said. "We're perfect for each other."
"That must be it," Jericho said. "I'm glad to see someone in this world happy."
"Jericho, just admit that you're in love with her," Trish said.
// So far it's been so good
Cross your fingers, knock on wood //
"Hey, I'm not like you two," Jericho said. "I don't think I'm meant to have that someone."
"Everyone is meant to have that someone," Trish retorted. "You're no different."
"Then it's probably that I haven't found that person yet," Jericho said.
"That's true," Matt said. "I mean I was stupid enough to have thought I was meant to be with Lita for a pretty big portion of my life."
"Lucky for me," Trish said. "That was not the case. But I think you've found your someone Jericho."
// And pray
And if it helps go throw a dollar in the wishing well //
"How can you be so sure Jericho is meant to be with Chris?" Matt asked Trish as they laid in bed together later that night.
"Because some things you can just sense," Trish said.
"Like?" Matt asked.
"Like you think I'm going to stay up all night talking to you," Trish said. "But I'm not."
"I wasn't thinking we would be talking to much," Matt said, leaning over and kissing Trish's neck.
"Matt," Trish pleaded. "I should get to sleep."
"If you insist..."
"I don't insist," Trish laughed, returning his kisses.
// It ain't always laughs and smiles
But the carousel just ain't our style //
"Can you take the blindfold off yet?" Matt asked, beginning to get impatient. He had been blindfolded for well over an hour now.
"Calm down," Trish laughed.
"You really think this is funny don't you?" Matt asked.
"You getting impatient and grumpy is pretty funny," Trish said.
"I'm glad someone is amused," Matt sulked.
"We're here," Trish said as the limo she had rented rolled to a stop. She pulled him out of the limo and led him to his surprise. She took off the blindfold.
"Matt Hardy and Trish Stratus," Matt said softly as he saw the names on the door of his dressing room.
"Welcome back to the WWF sweetie," Trish said.
"Thank you," Matt said, turning to kiss her.
// The roller coaster suits us fine
Boy the ups and downs liven up the ride //
"Wait a second," Matt said, pulling away. "You aren't ready to get back in the ring."
"I know," Trish said. "I'm still rehabing."
"I'm not coming back without you!" Matt exclaimed. "I don't care how much you want to get rid of me."
"Matt-"
"Where's our limo?" Matt asked, grabbing her hand. "You don't seem to understand that I don't want to be away from you Trish."
"If you would let me talk for just one second you would understand that I have a plan!" Trish exclaimed.
// Look at me, look at you
Look at all that we've been through
With a lot of love and a little luck //
"Go ahead," Matt said impassively.
"I can't wrestle yet," Trish said. "I probably can't come out to ringside yet either. However I can workout."
"So?" Matt asked.
"There are plenty of good therapists on the road with the company and I'm sure I can get along rehabing on the road," Trish said.
"Why are you doing this?" Matt asked.
"Because you love wrestling," Trish said. "And I love you."
// So far it's been so good
Cross your fingers, knock on wood
And pray
And if it helps go throw a dollar in the wishing well //
"Damn," Matt whispered. "Not only can I not stay mad at you for more than three seconds, you just made me love you more than I already did."
"Matt, I know it was driving you crazy being away," Trish said. "I wanted you to be happy. You deserve to be happy."
"We deserve to be happy," Matt said.
"Of course we do," Trish said. "So now we can be. But there is one more thing you can do for me that would make me the happiest woman in the world."
"What?" Matt asked suspiciously.
// Let a hundred pennies fall
Splash and send up all our dreams to heaven //
"Come in!" a voice called from within a dressing room. Matt and Trish walked in.
"Matt! Trish!" Jeff exclaimed.
"Hi Jeff," Trish said, smiling at him while also keeping an eye on her boyfriend.
"Are you okay?" Jeff asked anxiously. "I mean, are you better?"
"Not quite," Trish said. "But I will be."
"I'm glad," Jeff said. "I'm so sorry for all of the hell I put you through. I looked back at it all and I realized I had been a complete asshole. I should have known you two would fall for each other. You're both the best people I know."
"Matt," Trish whispered.
"Look," Matt finally said. "I won't kill you. But I will if Trish ever ends up hurt because of you again."
"It won't happen," Jeff said.
"And I would like for us to have a tag match against the Dudleys tonight," Matt said.
// Look at me, look at you
Look at all that we've been through
With a lot of love and a little luck //
"That was great!" Jeff exclaimed as he and Matt reached the backstage area. "Man, I've missed you so much!"
Jeff embraced Matt. Matt was about to shrug away from his brother before he saw Trish grinning at him. Then he realized the time for anger had past. Jeff had beat himself up enough for what had happened to Trish. He hugged his brother back.
"Do you think we could maybe go back to being a team?" Jeff asked cautiously.
"We're brothers aren't we?" Matt asked.
"Thanks Matt," Jeff said.
"Thank you for not realizing what a wonderful woman you were ignoring," Matt said, looking at Trish again.
"I'm really glad you two are so happy," Jeff said honestly.
// So far it's been so good
Cross your fingers, knock on wood
And pray
And if it helps go throw a dollar in the wishing well //
"You were great out there," Trish said, coming over to Matt.
"Thank you for everything," Matt said.
"Thank you for being you," Trish said. "I'm glad you forgave Jeff."
"I couldn't have done it without you," Matt said. "And I don't want to do anything without you ever again."
"That's sweet Matt," Trish said, hugging him close.
"Trish, will you marry me?" Matt asked.
Trish looked at Matt in shock. Then she smiled softly. "Yes. Yes, I will marry you Matt Hardy."
// Here goes another day another hug
And a kiss and we're on our way //
