Chapter 27
I wandered around for a while & couldn't seem to find Jeff anywhere! I was actually starting to get worried incase his injuries had been worse than we first thought & he was lying in a corridor unconcious somewhere!! "You lost?" Said a voice from behind me. "Shane?!" I couldn't believe I was bumping into yet another ex...Shane Helms!! He was 'The Hurricane' now & he still had the green paint around his eyes & in his hair!! "GEMMA??! WOW!" he smiled "What the hell are you doing here?!!" He came & hugged me. "Oh well y'know....figured it was about time I came back to see you guys!!" He laughed. "I can't believe you're actually here!!"! He hugged me again. "Yeah I'm kinda starting to think that myself!! Listen I'm looking for Jeff you haven't seen him around have you?" "No," he shrugged, "But I'll help you look if ya like?" "Oh would you? Thanks so much Shane! I feel like I'm wandering around in circles here!" "Haha! Well in this arena it wouldn't surprisse me if you were doing exactly that!! Come on I'll see if I can remember where I'm going!" We walked along the corridor searching every room we came to. "You knock there & I'll try over here!" Shane said. I knocked on the door & waited.....nothing. I turned to leave but some invisable force pulled me back! "Anything?" Shane asked. "No.....but hang on a minute Shane!" I turned the handle & slowly opened the door.....and froze! I couldn't believe what I was seeing!! Shane looked in over the top of my head. I closed the door quickly & started to walk away. "Well you found him! GEMMA! WAIT UP!" Shane walked fast to catch up with me. "What's the.......oh wait a minute......you & Jeff??!!" "Yes Shane Me & JEff!" He looked down at the floor & shook his head. "Shit! I didn't know...I'm....." "We have a kid......a little boy who's asleep on Amy's knee in the locker room & needs to go to bed but his father........" I stopped & put a hand to my head, "Fuck it Shane! What am I going to do now??!" Tears stung my eyes but I refused to let them fall, not again. Shane put his arm around me & led me back to find Amy & Matt. I stormed into the dressing room & They looked up, surprised! "Come on we're going!" "What's wrong? What happened?" Matt asked. "I just wanna go!" Matt looked at Shane, "Where's Jeff?" Shane just stared down at the floor & said nothing. "Matt can you carry Mike to the car for me please?" "Sure.....Gemma what's goin' on? Did you find Jeff?" "Yes.." I sighed, "He's making his own way back to the hotel tonight!" I picked up my purse & coat & Matt gave me a sideways glance before lifting Michael off Amy's knee. "Thanks Shane....I'll erm catch up with you soon ok?" Shane nodded & kissed my cheek, then we left. ******* Matt put Michael into bed in my room & left Amy with me. "You wanna tell me what's going on?" She said & sat on the end of my bed. I sat down beside her & sighed. "Amy....he...." I paused & looked up at the celing, my eyes filling with tears again. "I saw him with a girl...." "Oh Christ!" Amy put her arm around me & I wiped a tear from my cheek. "She had come looking for him earlier but I just forgot all about it! Then I walked in there & he.....he was all over her Amy!!" "Were they erm....?" "No....well not when I saw them but God only knows what they were doing after I left!" "You mean you didn't say anything? He didn't see you?!!" I shook my head. "I was so shocked! I just froze...I didn't know what to do!" Amy squeezed me & rubbed my arm. "Is this what I deserve Amy?" "No it isn't & you stop thinking like that!" "He wants to hurt me...like I did to him & he's right! I shouldn't have anything easy, not after what I did!" "Gemma you did what you thought was best at the time! He has no right to treat you like this!" I started to sob & Amy held me tightly. "I'm going home!" I said through my tears, "I've had enough of this shit Amy! I can't take any more!" The door opened & Jeff walked in. Amy gave me one last hug & gave Jeff a hard stare as she walked past him & out of the door. "Hey! Where did you go?" I stood up & walked past him into the bathroom, not saying anything. I knew anything that came out of my mouth was gonna cause a huge fight & I was too tired, physically & emotionally to fight with him, although all I wanted to do was slap his face! He came to the doorway of the bathroom & leaned on one side. "I'm sorry Gemma!" "Save it!" "Gem...I saw Shane & he...." "I can't be fucked with this so do us both a favour & shut it Jeff!" I splashed water on my face & grabbed a towel. I tried to slam the door on him but he put his hand out to stop it. "I didn't do anything Gamma!" "I'm getting ready for bed, please shut the door!" He didn't move. I was starting to to get more & more angry & about ready to burst if he didn't get out of my face soon! "You've got a fucking nerve!!" "Excuse me?!" "I saw you....with Adam!" "What??!" "You were all over him infront of God knows who in the restaurant! I saw you Gemma so don't deny it!" "Is this what this is all about?!" I Asked, totally stunned! "You saw me with Adam so you screw some little slut as revenge! Have you any idea how pathetic that sounds!!" "I didn't screw her!" "No? Well only 'cause Shane came & told you I'd seen you! Besides you were doing a damn sight more with her than I was with Adam when I looked in that room!" "What do you expect?!" he spat at me! "WHAT!?" My voice was getting louder as I was starting to lose control of my temper & I was on the verge of tears again! "What are you trying to do to me here Jeff?!" He looked at me, his eyes full of anger, "You......you left me, took my son away from me, for four years!! Four fucking years Gemma!" He got right up in my face & I stepped back, "You have really got no idea what you did have you?! I loved you so much.....I would've died for you....but you left!!" "I'm going home!" "YEAH? Go on then! Run away again 'cause I'm not gonna stop you this time Gemma!! I've had enough of your bullshit to last a lifetime!" He stepped aside & I rushed out of the bathroom crying. "Take your baggage & fuck off out of my life!!" He shouted. "If you set out to hurt me, to get your revenge for what I did, then you'll be happy to know you have succeeded Jeff!" I picked up one of my bags that was still packed. I couldn't stay in the same room with him even if it did mean leaving Michael! I knew Jeff would look after him! As I opened the door Jeff shouted... "And I lied!!" I stopped but didn't turn around, "......I did fuck her!!" My heart sank. No matter what I'd done to him I knew I didn't deserve this! I calmly put down my bag, walked back towards Jeff & slapped his face. "I hope she was worth it!" I said quietly & left, with no clue as to where I was going!!
