*** Okay, I'm almost done. In fact, I'm going to post the last chapter with this one. I hope you guys like these two chapters. I really like experimenting with "CD story" type of thing. This chapter's song is called "Good Friend to Me." Tell me what you think! ***
// There's no doubt you're good looking
And now I see you're looking my way //
"Hey Stacy," Torrie said, plopping down on a chair beside her friend. Now that she was with Sean and not so preoccupied with her problems, she noticed something was wrong with Stacy.
"Hey," Stacy said, her voice soft. Torrie tried to find whatever Stacy was looking at across the room. All she saw were some WWF wrestlers.
"Who are you looking at?" Torrie asked.
"An old friend," Stacy said. "Two of them actually."
Jeff Hardy turned around to see Torrie and Stacy looking at him and Christian and Edge. He blushed a little and waved at them. It was obvious the animosity between the rival companies had died down. Especially after Jericho and Stephanie became an item and remained in separate companies.
Torrie waved back, "Jeff?"
"And Edge," Stacy answered softly.
// Say you want to get to know me better
Show me your side of town //
"Hey Edge," Stacy said when they bumped into each other in the hallways.
"Hey Stacy," Edge said. He tried to feel some animosity toward the woman who had broken his heart so many years ago, but he couldn't muster it. "What's up?"
"Not much," Stacy said, smiling shyly. "How about you?"
"I actually have to go get ready for a date," Edge said.
"Oh," Stacy said, trying not to feel crestfallen.
"You know," Edge said. "We should get together for lunch sometime and catch up."
"That sounds great," Stacy said.
// I feel it when we're walking and I know
You're not just into talking //
"I really miss the old days," Stacy said to Edge.
"Me too," Edge said. "Before I really became 'a man'. God I really miss just hanging out with Christian. We barely talk anymore."
"You guys were talking the other day," Stacy said. She looked around the restaurant. "This place is great. Where did you find it?"
"Jeff told me about it," Edge said. "I used to ask Jeff where to eat all of the time before..."
Stacy looked down at her hands. "I know I've apologized for that before, but I want to-"
"It's in the past," Edge said. "And you guys had put away a lot of booze."
"Still," Stacy said. "I never felt like I made it up to you."
"I've let go of it Stacy," Edge said. "I think maybe you should too."
// I don't want to lose this new thing
Cuz it could be a good thing //
Stacy walked into the break room a couple nights later. She couldn't believe that she was falling for her ex-boyfriend again. She knew there was no way he would ever take her back because he had truly been hurt.
"Stace!" Edge said, waving her over.
"What's up?" she asked, walking over to Edge, Matt, and Jericho.
"Did you see what Trish just did to Torrie?" Matt asked, smiling proudly.
"Yes, I saw," Stacy said. "You guys didn't call me over to gloat did you?"
"No actually," Edge said. "We were wondering if you and Torrie wanted to come out with us tonight."
"Well, Tor has a date with Sean," Stacy said.
"Do you want to come?" Jericho asked. He knew Stacy fairly well because she was friend's with Stephanie. "You're more than welcome to come."
"That sounds great," Stacy said, grinning.
// Don't say you love me cuz I feel it too
But I don't think I'm ready yet to
Make that move //
"Wanna dance?" Edge asked Stacy at the club, later that night.
"Sure," Stacy said. She had forgotten how well Edge moved on the dance floor.
"God, this feels like old times," Edge said lightly.
"You're telling me," Stacy said, looking up into his eyes. "Edge, what do you think would have happened between us if I hadn't screwed up?"
"Can we not talk about that?" Edge asked.
"I just feel like there's so much between us that we don't talk about," Stacy said. "I kind of want to clear the air."
"Lets just have fun for now," Edge said. Stacy silently nodded in agreement.
// So give it just a minute
Hold tight
I'm not ready to commit
It's my life //
"Stacy," Stephanie said when she saw her in the bathroom a few hours later.
"Yeah?" Stacy asked.
"I saw you with Edge earlier," Stephanie said. "You looked real interested in him."
"We have history," Stacy said.
"Oh," Stephanie said. "Just, I'm worried about you. You should probably let Edge make the next move."
"I don't know why you are giving me advice on my love life," Stacy said angrily.
"Because I'm your friend," Stephanie said defensively.
"But you are madly in love with Jericho," Stacy said. "And he hasn't said three words to you all night!"
Stephanie watched Stacy storm out of the bathroom. She shook her head sadly, knowing Stacy was right.
// Yeah, you're a real fine guy
But you're gonna have to try to be
A good friend to me //
"Stacy," Edge said, following her down the hall of the arena a couple nights later.
"Yeah?" Stacy asked.
"I wanted to talk to you about the other night," Edge said.
"It's all right," Stacy said.
"No, you're right," Edge said. "We need to clear the air."
"Okay," Stacy said.
"I don't know where we would be if that night had never happened," Edge said. "But right now, I'm not in a place where I trust you enough to try again."
"But-"
"Stacy," Edge said. "I want you to be my friend. Nothing more."
// You keep on a pushing every day
You don't realize you're pushing me away //
"Hey," Jeff Hardy said, sitting down next to Stacy.
"Hello," Stacy said, sounding confused.
"C'mon Stacy, don't look at me like I'm an alien," Jeff said. "We used to be friends."
"Yeah," Stacy said. "I guess I screwed that up too."
"I think I played a pretty big part in that mess," Jeff said.
"It's best forgotten," Stacy said.
"Looks like Edge has forgotten," Jeff commented.
// I wanna tell you to slow down
Show me a little real love //
"Jeff," Stacy protested. "Stop."
Jeff pulled away from Stacy. "Stace."
"I'm not ready Jeff," Stacy said. "We've only gone out like twice."
"Yeah, I know," Jeff said, running a hand through his long hair. "Sorry about that."
"It's okay," Stacy said. "I haven't ever had a relationship that moved so fast work out though."
"Are you saying you want us to work out?" Jeff asked.
"If we're serious about seeing each other," Stacy said. "I want us to have a fighting chance."
"Okay," Jeff nodded.
// I know you think you're showing me
That you care
But right now baby, I'm not going there //
"Stacy Kiebler?" Trish asked in shock. "I thought you had taste Jeff."
"Stacy is nice," Jeff said. "I knew her three or four years back."
"She's trashy," Trish said.
"Have you ever sat down and talked to her?" Edge asked, anger evident in his voice.
"That doesn't change the fact that Jeff should stay away from her," Trish said. "I may not know her, but I can tell she's trouble."
"You're with Stacy?" Edge asked.
"We've gone on a date or two," Jeff said.
"Try five!" Trish said.
"Oh," Edge said, before walking away.
// So give it just a minute
Hold tight
I'm not ready to commit
It's my life //
"What the hell do you want?" Jericho asked angrily.
"Chris," Stephanie said, sounding very on edge. "Can you please calm down?"
"I'm sick of this!" Jericho said, leaving the room. He literally ran into Stacy in the hall. "Sorry!"
Stacy walked into the room Stephanie was in. "You okay?"
"Yeah," Stephanie said. "I never should have let things get so crazy, so fast with him."
"You can't help who you love," Stacy said.
"But you can help how fast you fall," Stephanie said. "Or how fast you become involved in each other's lives."
"I wish I knew how," Stacy said.
// Yeah, you're a real fine guy
But you're gonna have to try to be
A good friend to me //
"I don't want to go out tonight," Stacy said. "I want to spend some time with Torrie."
"Fine!" Jeff exclaimed angrily.
"Don't pull this shit with me Jeff," Stacy said.
"You are giving some pretty mixed signals Stacy," Jeff said. "Are we serious or not."
"I don't know Jeff!" Stacy exclaimed.
"I know what it is," Jeff said. "You never got over Edge."
Stacy watched in shock as Jeff walked away from her.
// Come on let me hear you say I'm worth it
You say you'll be my man //
"Hey you," Stacy said as she ran into Edge in the hallway.
"Hey," Edge said, smiling broadly.
"You look happy," Stacy said.
"We're in Canada," Edge said. "How could I be anything but?"
"Right," Stacy said.
"I just saw Jeff," Edge said. "He looked pretty upset."
"We just had a fight," Stacy said uncomfortably.
"He's a great guy Stacy," Edge said. "Don't play around with his heart."
// I need a gentleman
And I'm counting on you //
Stacy knocked on Jeff's hotel room door, bottle of wine in hand.
"Hello," she said when he opened the door. "Can we talk?"
"Yeah, I guess," Jeff said. Stacy handed him the wine. "What's this for?"
"To celebrate," Stacy said.
"Celebrate what?" Jeff asked.
"The fact that I'm ready to take the next step with you," Stacy said. "I'm ready for us to become very serious."
"Yeah?" Jeff asked.
"Yeah," Stacy said, pulling him close.
// So give it just a minute
Hold tight
I'm not ready to commit
It's my life
Yeah, you're a real fine guy
But you're gonna have to try to be
A good friend to me //
// There's no doubt you're good looking
