"Hey did you find him?" Dwayne asked in a soft voice.
"No, they said that he left."
"I'm sorry, I want you to fix things with him I really do. But can we talk about you and me right now?"
"I don't know what I want right now."
"What are you trying to say?"
"It's not that I don't love you, because I still do and you should know that. I just need time to fix things with Steve."
"You mean you want a break from us?"
"I mean that I need you to stay away from the whole situation. Let Steve and I work things out by ourselves."
"How can I possibly do that? This whole situation started because of me!" He voice grew louder and he got angrier.
"It may have started because of you, but, this is all about me and him know. I don't want to take a break from you, I just need some room to fix this."
"As long as I am in a relationship with you I am not going to let any of this go."
"Don't make me do this Rocky." I said quietly. The cameras were in the room and I wanted to scream at the men to leave and beat them all until they were unconscience. I started to tear.
"Alright that's it get out of here." Dwayne said to the cameramen. "Get out now." The cameras left and it was me and him. He sat down next to me and took my hand.
"Don't do anything that you don't want to." He said looking straight at me.
"Sometimes you have to do things that you don't want to. Sometimes it's just for the best."
"Are you saying that us taking a break is for the best?"
"I am saying that if you can't leave this situation alone, then yes it is for the best."
"So I have two choices. I either back away from the situation, or, I back away from you entirely."
"Yes, those are your choices."
"If you ask me these choices are pretty crappy."
"I know that they are, but that is the way that it is."
"I told you before, I can't back away while I am dating you."
"Then we aren't dating." I said standing up. Tears were flowing from my eyes and I felt like screaming, crying and punching something all at once.
"You can't mean that."
"I have to mean it." I shook his hand. "Goodbye Rocky." I walked out of the dressing room and ran to the bathroom. This wasn't the way that I planned on spending the evening of my victory.
Chyna walked in and saw me crying.
"It's Steve isn't it?" she said walking over to me.
"It's him and it's Rocky."
"WHy, what happened?"
"I just told him that we were on a break. I am single, I am no longer an us with him."
"Oh sweetie, why would you do that?"
"Because it was the only thing that I could do to make sure that everything get's fixed."
"You mean you gave rocky up to get things the way that they were with Steve?"
"Yes, that is exactly what I did."
"That took a whole lot of guts."
"I know, what else was I supposed to do?"
We talked for a while more, and she finally convinced me to come out of the bathroom. It was a time for me to celebrate and not worry about anything. I had waht I wanted and that should be what was enough for me at that time. I needed a night to relax and forget about the problems that plagued me.
"Hey Kay you feeling better?" Jeff asked me when he saw me.
"I am feeling really good. How about you?"
"I am so pysched that you are the newest member of Team Xtreme. Don't you think that you should fix things with Vince? He has been a great influence on you."
"I know that. And I feel bad about what happened before but I am not going to go and grovel at that mans feet."
"I am not saying that you should do that. I am saying that you should talk to him about what happened."
"I'll think about it." I said. Those were the last words that were mentioned about Vince all night long. I tried not to think much at all.
We went to a club to celebrate. We would have the plane ride to sleep and try to recooperate from the night.
When we got on the plane every seemed to go right back to sleep. I laid my head back and closed my eyes. It was nice to have silence around us. Constantly ahving fans screaming for you can really make you appreciate a moment of complete silence. I felt a tap on my shoulder and opened my eyes. When I saw Dean Malenko I wanted to fight right then and there.
"What do you want? I was trying to sleep, but I guess I can't."
"I'm sorry, I didn't want to wake you but I have something to say to you."
"If it has anything to do with Lita and a re-match, don't tell me about it now. All I want to do is get a little rest, please you can't do this later?"
"No because by the time I tell you it might be to late for you."
"What are you talking about? I have never been afraid of her and I never will be."
"Well maybe you should this time. I know that everyone knows that she was with me long before she left the Hardys. I begged her to leave but she just wouldn't listen to me."
"Do I care about any of this? I mean, should I care about this?"
"Please, just listen to me before making any sort of remarks."
"I'm sorry go ahead."
"She stilled cared for Matt and wasn't willing to give any of that up. She was devasted when she found out that he couldn't carry on the relationship with her. Ever since that day she was hanging around with me. We did that whole thing with my obsession for her and her hating me because we figured that it would get every reporter to stop asking about us. If they thought we hated each other then they wouldn't ask us questions about each other. I know that all of this makes no sense to you, but stick with it. We love each other deeply, and she has finally let go of Matt, but she will never let go of her spot in Team Xtreme. That was the first time that she was able to be who she wanted in the ring. Jeff and Matt helped her sore to new heights. And I mean that figuratively and literally. She has never had the carrer that she had until she was with the Hardys. Even now she won't come out with me, hoping and praying that she will be able to win back her spot in Team Xtreme. I know taht you are never going to let that happen without a fight. I'm not asking you to fold for her. I am asking you to be caareful. Lita is out for blood. She wants to see you dead."
"And how do she plan on doing that?"
"I don't know and I don't want to know. But she has been making some sort of plans, and most of them have to do with you."
"Like what?" I asked very concerned. Someone was trying to toy with my career and I didn't like it.
"I don't know, I tried not to pay attention, I want to know as little as possible. Mostly things like times and being certain places at certain times."
"Thanks Dean and I am going to be careful and cautious about tonight."
"Good, and I hope that nothing happens for your sake and for Lita's sake."
I smiled at him and he walked away.
What was I getting myself in for was the only question that I was asking myself at that point in time.
I saw Jeff stir in his sleep and decided to wake him up.
"I need to talk to you it's important." I said lightly shaking him.
"Sure what's up?"
I told him the story of Lita and when he told me that he would protect me, for some reason I saw him in a whole new light. He seemed to be talking to me in a different way. It seemed like he was talking to me as if he were to be my boyfriend.
He stroked my face when he saw that I was really worried.
"I love you and don't want anything to happen to you." he said to me softly.
"I love you too. Thank you for being such a good friend."
"Well I do have my reasons. It wasn't completly unselfish on my part."
"Are you trying to tell me something?"
"I'm saying that I love you. I love you like I have loved no other. I know that you don't want a relationship right now, I just need you to know."
"Jeff, how come you never told me?"
"Because I wanted you to be happy with Dwayne and you were."
"I still am, well at least I want to be. I could have been happy with you too."
"But not like with Rocky."
"That isn't true. Maybe I could have been happier with you. You'll never know unless you try."
"What are you trying to say?"
"I don't know, maybe we should try things, take it slow, see if it would have worked out."
"I am all up for that." He smiled at me and gave me a kiss.
