That night, Talena and Chris are sat in a resteraunt. There are 2 glasses of wine on the
table, and Talena is fascinated by hers, which is full, whereas Chris' is half empty.~

Chris: Talena..

She is still staring at her glass in a daze

Chris: TALENA?!

This makes her jump half way out of her seat. Half the resteraunt are staring at them

Talena: Did you say something?
Chris: Um.. yeah.. You've been staring at that glass for the past half hour. What's wrong?
Talena: Nothing! Why would anything be wrong?
Chris: Oh.. I get it now.. It's Jeff isn't it?
Talena: No! What would make you think that..

She looks around suspiciously and give a few stuck up nosey customers the evils, and then
downs the whole glass of red wine

Chris: Jeff's over there..

He points over her shoulder and she spins round

Talena: Where? Oh.. You got me..
Chris: So what is it?
Talena: Well when you left earlier.. he seemed a little.. different.. I dunno it's
probably my.. weird mind.. anyway I'm sorry..
Chris: why?
Talena: For ruining your evening.. I mean I can't say I've given you 100% attention..
Chris: Its no problem.. I shouldn't have asked you out so soon after that whole thing with Jeff..
Talena: chris you're a great guy, and I'm sure you'll make some girl real happy, but--
Chris: you just want us to be friends?
Talena: well.. yeah.. are you ok with that?
Chris: Of course I am.. and you know I'll still be here whenever you need me..
Talena: thank you so much Chris that means a lot!
Chris: You wanna go? I mean we've eaten so there's not much to stay for..
Talena: it's totally up to you!
Chris: I think we should.. I mean we got a house show tomorrow and we need at least some sleep!
Talena: yeah.. I'm sorry about all this..

They both stand up and push their chairs in. Chris puts the bill on the table and they begin to
walk out. Chris puts his arm around Talena

Chris: It's ok.. I say you go for it with Jeff. Then maybe you wouldn't be so pre-occupied
Talena: Haha... I think I should move on. I mean I doubt he wants me anyway! He's had plenty
of opportunities with me..
Chris: Oh believe me.. he wants you.. I can tell

//I hope so.. I feel so mean! I mean Chris is the only guy that has asked me out and I let him
down like this! All because of that cute.. funny.. sexy.. kind.. DAMNED Hardy boy..//

Chris and Talena walk out of the resteraunt and get a cab back to the hotel


~The next day, backstage, at a House Show~


Amy, Matt and Talena are sat in the locker room doing absolutely nothing. Jeff doesn't appear to be
anywhere

Amy: So how'd your date with Chris go?
Talena: Bad.. I was thinkin about the other half of the Hardys the whole time.. Chris noticed and
said that it was fine but I still felt mean.. I mean I was supposed to be on a date with him not Jeff!
Matt: Dammit Talena you gotta talk to him!
Amy: It's right.. you two are so right for each other but you always seem to get the wrong ideas!
Talena: What y'mean?
Matt: Yesterday, when you came in after talkin with Chris? Jeff was about to tell you how he felt and
Chris walked.. CRASHED, into our locker room and the opportunity was gone!
Talena: Y' mean? He likes me?
Amy: Girl are you blind?!

Jeff walks into the room with his bag

Jeff: hey guys
Amy: Hey
Matt: Wassup lil bro
Talena (cheerily): Hi Jeff!
Jeff: Whats got into you today Talena? Your date a success?
Talena: No.. complete opposite actually.. we decided to just be friends..
Jeff (sounding a lot happier): Oh! I mean, you ok?
Talena: yeah I'm fine! It was mostly my decision anyway.. so you feelin any better?
Jeff: What?
Talena: Yesterday you said you felt a little sore from the match.. you ok now?
Jeff: OH! yeah.. I'm good!

Matt and Amy roll their eyes and look frustrated

Amy: Matt! You wanna come for some coffee? I need to talk to you about a.. storyline!
Matt: Can't we talk about it here?

Amy kicks Matt in the leg

Matt: Oh! Um coffee.. sure!

They smile and head for the door, Matt nudges Jeff and gives him a "You better tell her now or I'll
kick your ass" look, and they walk out of the door, Matt complaining about his now painful leg

Talena: O...k I dont even wanna know what that was about!
Jeff: Talena I need to tell you something..
Talena: ok..
Jeff: Um..

Talena gives him a questioning look

\\I CAN'T DO THIS!\\

Jeff: Um.. Vince wants to see us in his office..
Talena (a little upset): Oh.. ok.. we'd better go now then..

She hastily exits the room. In the corridor Kurt Angle approaches her

Kurt: Hi!
Talena: hey.. I'm in a bit of a rush sorry
Kurt: Ok, before you go I wanted to know if you'd go out with me tonight
Talena: Um.. no sorry. I'm a little busy tonight
Kurt: Tomorrow?

She gave a small laugh and smiled

Talena: To tell you the truth I'm off dating for a while
Kurt: Oh so thats how it is huh?
Talena: Whats how what is?
Kurt: You go around lookin fine, knowin people are gonna wanna go on a date, then you turn 'em down
just like that? I mean, you're no better than anyone else here!
Talena: I never said I was! Now move out of my way

She tries to walk past her but he blocks her way. She tries again and this time Kurt grabs her and
slams her up against the wall hitting her head

Kurt: YOU CAN'T DO THAT! I'M FED UP OF PEOPLE NOT WANTING TO GET TO KNOW THE REAL ME! I'M ONLY
LIKE THIS BECAUSE I HAVE TO BE! You're a slut y'know that? I mean, you walk around like your better
than everyone else, with your almost invisible clothes and lookin hot. Knowing that over half the
guys here are gonna wanna ask y'out on a date!
Talena: Yeah, whatever, yadda yadda yadda! Just let me go!
Kurt: Why?
Talena: Cause I gotta be somewhere like, 10 minutes ago!
Kurt: I'll let ya go.. IF you go on a date with me!
Talena: Um.. lemme think about it - NO!

Kurt hits her in the stomach

//I don't need this right now! This has been the worst day EVER!//

Kurt: Talena, will you go on a date with me?
Talena: Let me go you son of a bitch!
Kurt: Hey! I'm being nice here! You could at least be nice back!
Talena: Fuck off! I wouldn't go on a date with you if my life depended on it!

Kurt bangs her head against the wall a few times and hits her in the ribs. She starts to go a bit faint

Kurt: I suppose you're expectin someone to come save you! Huh? Well y'know what I think? You're nobody!
No-one cares about you!
Talena: You'll pay for this

She passes out

Kurt: Oh I don't think so

Kurt laughs and promptly gets hit on the back of the head with a sledgehammer

Jeff: Well I do!

\\Damn she looks so pale.. that damn Angles gonna pay doubly for this..\\

He picks up Talena and carries her down to the Team Xtreme locker room

THIS CHAPTER KINDA SUCKED ROYALLY AS I WAS ALREADY OUT OF INSPIRATION! HOPEFULLY THE NEXT CHAPTER WILL BE BETTER,
AND IF IT ISN'T THEN BURN ME AT THE STAKE!
