Kane drove Jeri to the arena later that night. Once they were there,
Kane went to his locker room and Jeri went off to find Chris. While she was
searching for his locker room, she ran into Vince McMahon.
"Mr. McMahon?" she asked.
"Yes? Can I help you?" he said turning around.
"Oh, I'm Jeri Valentine. I'm here with Chris. Can you tell me where his locker room is?" she asked. He took her by the arm and led her to his locker room. "Thank you, sir." She said as he walked off, waving at her. She opened the door to find Chris there. With Leslie. "Hi." Was all she could get out.
"Hey, Jeri." Leslie said, in a bitter tone. "You know Chris, I think I'll go back to the hotel room and wait for you." She giggled and left the room, taking a Victoria's Secret bag with her. Looked like the secret was out.
"Um, hey there, Jeri." He said, a bit saddened that she, of all people, had to find them together. She gave him a cold stare and walked to the white leather couch. Out of her backpack she pulled her CD player and new Christina CD. She turned over so her back was to Chris. But she wasn't mad at him. He was just with the woman he loved. She just didn't want him to see her cry.
Chris wasn't with the woman he truly loved, though. He loved Jeri, and wished he could tell her. Except that would be too hard. She wouldn't return the feelings. And he didn't want to ruin their friendship.

Jeri had finally stopped crying, and was bored out of her mind. She had stayed after the show, not wanting to go with Chris and stay in the other part of their hotel room. But now she had to worry about finding a ride home, so she went out into the lobby and waited for someone to pass by.
Rocky was walking down the hall, getting ready to leave, when he saw someone in the lobby. "Hey, you waiting for someone?" he asked her. He knew who she was, since he hung out with Chris a lot. Chris talked about her once every day, showing pictures whenever he got new ones.
"No. I was supposed to go home with Chris, but I didn't want to be there when he and Leslie--" she said before he cut her off.
"Enough said. You want to come stay in my room tonight? I can sleep on the floor." He offered. She shook her head and told him she didn't want to impose. "No, you're coming." He said, grabbing her arm and dragging her out to his car.
He was playing Outkast, which was a big difference from Ozzy and System of a Down, which Chris often listened to. Jeri was staring out the window at the lights of the city.
"It's pretty isn't it?" he asked. "It'd be even prettier without the lights, so you could se the stars." He told her.
"Yeah, it would. I've always wanted to lay down somewhere and look at the stars." She informed him. The rest of the car trip was silent, except for Rock's singing.
Chris and Leslie sat in his hotel room. Whatever had been in the Victoria's Secret bag was still in there. "Honey, why aren't we doing anything?" Leslie asked, trying to sound seductive.
"Where could Jeri be? It's one, she should be here by now." He said.
"Here we go again." She said under her breath.
Chris lay on the bed. "Leslie, just leave. And give me the ring on your way out."
"What are you saying?" she said, sounding surprised.
"I'm saying I don't want to marry you." He said. She threw the ring at him and stomped out the door.

Lita walked down the hall, and almost fell as Leslie ran down the hall and pushed her out of the way. She walked fast to Chris' room and went in. "Okay, what the hell happened?"
"I told her I didn't want to marry her. I'm guessing you know why, since I basically told you." He explained.
"Chris, you really need to tell Jeri how you feel."
"No, Lita. I already said no." he said.
~~~
The next morning, Jeri snuck into Chris' room, and was surprised to see that Leslie wasn't laying with him in the bed. She walked over to the kitchen and made some pancakes. That was Chris' favorite breakfast treat. She had just finished putting them on a plate when she heard a voice coming from the door of the kitchen.
"Jeri, where have you bun?" he asked.
"I stayed with Rock. I didn't want to have to sleep in here while you and Leslie, well, you know." She explained.
"Oh, well, it didn't happen. As a matter of fact, I dumped her." He said. Chris was jealous at the fact that she spent the night with Rock. What if they had slept in the same bed? He crossed that thought out of his mind.
"Why?" she asked. He explained to her that she just wasn't right for him and was too, uh, bimbotic. "Ohh." She said after he finished. "By the way, I made you some pancakes." She layed them out on the table.
He sat down and began to eat. "You know, we got to get to the arena early for a taping for some special we're doing. Okay? 'Cause, like, we're leaving in an hour."
She nodded and got up to get changed. She had already showered at Rock's. Back out into the kitchen she came, wearing a camo tank top and khaki pants.
Chris was also ready when she got out. They grabbed their bags and left for the arena.
"Mr. McMahon?" she asked.
"Yes? Can I help you?" he said turning around.
"Oh, I'm Jeri Valentine. I'm here with Chris. Can you tell me where his locker room is?" she asked. He took her by the arm and led her to his locker room. "Thank you, sir."
