Chapter 5
_____________
Jade made her way up the long flight of stairs to her apartment. "I swear, if they don't fix
that damn elevator, I'll" She didn't have a chance to finish her sentence. She was in the
process of opening her door when she dropped her key. "Damnit!" Jade's day was going
just grand, it was supposed to be a special day for her and Raven, but he had to be 5 states
away for a show. Now she's stuck at home watching him on TV, and that damn Terri
bounce around him like an idiot. She'd said goodbye to him at the airport just a couple of
hours ago, and she was already missing him like crazy. She picked the key off the ground
and put it in the keyhole, when she opened the door she looked into her apartment with
amazement and pure happiness. The tears formed in her eyes as she looked around at all
the red rose petals sprinkled around her apartment. She noticed a dozen long stem red
roses sitting in a vase in the center of the room. Attached to the vase was a note.
Jade,
Hey beautiful, sorry I couldn't be there for you tonight, hopefully this will help make up
for it.
-Scott
Jade held the note tightly to her chest and smiled. She looked around the room with an
unbelievably happy grin on her face then she let out a sigh.
"This is pretty now, but it's going to be a bitch to clean-up."

He checked the clock on the wall again. Edge was staring at him with an amused look on
his face.
"Dude, if you pace around anymore, your like totally going to wear out the carpet." Edge
was trying not to laugh as Raven turned around to face him.
"As soon as this match is over, the sooner I can get back to New York."
"Your whipped man." Tazz decides to join the conversation.
Raven growled towards Tazz's direction. "Maybe he likes being whipped, hell, if I had a
woman as fine as his, I'd be whipped too." Jeff Hardy's turn to join in.
"Maybe it's nobody's business but mine." Raven storms out of the room, he always did
hate being the center of attention, well, with anybody but Jade.
As he walked down the lonely hallway he heard a door open, he turned around to see the
She-Devil herself standing behind him.
"What's wrong honey?" Raven didn't answer, he just looked at her, he turned to continue
to the immediate backstage area. Terri followed, and they both waited for the match to
begin.
________________
Raven looked at his watch, and then again at Jade's door. He'd left the arena right after the
match and caught the first flight back to New York. He reached into his pocket and pulled
out his key. He opened the door and peeked inside. The lights were off and the floor was
still lightly blanketed with rose petals. He noticed a bottle of Champaign on the coffee
table and smiled. Looks like Jade celebrated their six month anniversary without him. Oh
well, that was going to change. He opened Jade's bedroom door and looked at her
sleeping form on the bed. She was asleep and he couldn't help but think how much she
resembled and angel. He leaned against the doorframe, and looked at her body laying there
in front of him.
*It's going to be a shame to wake her, but it'll be worth it.* Raven thought to himself. He
slowly leaned off of the doorframe and made his way towards the bed, he was ready to
show Jade how much he cared.
