'Dear Diary,
It's been two days since I seen the cover of The National Enquirer. I've tried contacting Jeff, but he hasn't returned my phone calls. So, I don't know if he's seen it or not. He probably has and he doesn't want to talk to me. That's not going to help at all if he doesn't want to talk to about it. I hope to hear from him soon. I was thinking about contacting Matt to see if he knows where Jeff is. But that would be wrong, Jeff will talk when he wants. Now, to change the subject, my brothers burial ceremony is at the end of the week. The day before I head back out to travel with the Federation again. In a way I am looking forward to getting back out in the spotlight. Vince isn't going to let me take anymore vacations because I took that one for a month, then my leg got broken then right when I was getting ready to go out again, my brother passes away. Which sucks, but I understand where Vince is coming from. My character Jade really needs to get back in the swing of things. So, I'm going to work something out with Vince. Well, I better get to sleep. Bye.
Eternally,
Marie'
.Next Morning.
"I've never seen you more happy," my brother said as the replay of the car accident replayed in my dreams. I woke up in a cold sweat, breathing heavily. I place my hand on my heart, noticing it was at racing pace.
"Jesus, will that dream ever go away?" I asked myself as I walked into the kitchen to get a drink of water.
"What dream?" asked someone from behind the couch.
"Shit!! Jeff what are you doing here?" I yelled. Jeff had startled me causing the glass to fall from my hands and break.
"Well, I came to talk about you and Joe. I seen the cover of the magazine. You guys were dancing awfully close for being just friends," Jeff said already getting angry.
"Jeff listen, we're just friends! I swear! He has a girlfriend. He was just taking me out. Those were taken at his company party. His girlfriend was out of town that night. So he asked me to go with him and I said yes," I explained.
"So, she just so happened to be out of town while you were in town. I always thought there was something between you two, and those pictures proved my thoughts right," Jeff said raising his voice.
"Jeff, I don't know why your not trusting me. I've never done anything to you before to make you not trust me now," I started to yell.
"Depressed people to desperate things people would never thought they would. Including cheating on their boyfriends!" Jeff argued.
"Jeff, that was harsh! Do you honestly think I would do that to you?" I cried.
"Yes, I do! This relationship is over!" I Jeff yelled as he grabbed his jacket and headed for the door.
"Jeff! Please! Don't do this to me! Not now. I need you. It's bad enough I've lost two of the three men I've ever loved. I don't need to loose all three of them," I pleaded.
"Well, too bad! You just lost number three," Jeff yelled slamming the door behind him.
"JEFF WAIT!" I yelled as I followed him outside. "Jeff don't do this! Please!"
"Do what? Don't leave you? Why do you need me? You have Joe!" he yelled.
"JEFF! PLEASE! I love you too much to cheat on you!" I pleaded.
"If you love me so much, then why did you leave me in Cameron to come here?" he yelled as he got into his rental car and slammed the door shut.
"Jeff, please!" I cried.
The next thing I knew Jeff turned his stereo up and took off. Leaving me to cry alone in the parking lot of my apartment complex. I stood there hoping he would come back for me. Knowing he wouldn't I turned around and headed back for my apartment. I climbed the stairs sluggishly and closed the door behind me.
During the next few days I got ready to go back out on the road with the WWF. The day before I left was the day we buried Jason. It was exceptionally hard for me because I spoke for his eulogy and practically broke down when I spoke about how he was happy that I had finally found someone who made me happy. After the burial we went to my mom's house for dinner. I was to sad to eat. So I socialized a little and said my good byes since I would be leaving the next day. While I was sitting down half heartedly listening to the conversation that was going on a blue ford explorer pulled up. The doors opened and Matt, Amy, and Adam came out.
"Excuse me," I said getting up from the table. "Matt, Amy, Adam, what are you doing here?"
"Well, we came to pay our respects and see how our girl was doing," Amy said as she hugged me.
"Thanks for coming. But a certain Marie is feeling like crap. I got a double whammy, lost two of the most important people in my life. Tell me how you'd be feeling," I said.
"We heard about Jeff. We're really sorry for his actions. We all tried to explain to him that you and Joe were just friends. But it was no use. He just yelled," Matt said.
"Well, he's just as stubborn as they come," Adam replied.
"Yeah. Anyways, you guys hungry? We got food to last an eternity." I giggled slightly.
"We could use some food. And from the look of thing Marie, so could you," Adam said as he put his arm around my neck and took me to the food table.
The next two hours went by faster now that some of my friends from the Federation were there. I decided that I would stay with Amy at the hotel and leave with them the next morning. Before leaving my moms house I gave her a big hug and told her I'd call before I left. As we headed for the hotel I asked Adam to stop at Joe's. They said they would just wait in the car for me.
.door bell.
"Hey Marie! What are you doing here?" Joe asked.
"I just came to say goodbye. I'm leaving in the morning," I replied.
"Oh, well, I'll miss you. Take care of yourself. If you ever need to talk just remember I'm only a phone call away," Joe said as he hugged me.
"I will. Thanks for being such a great friend to me. I love you. As a friend of course," I said.
"I love you too. Take care. I hope to hear from you soon. Bye." Joe replied.
"I'll call as soon as I can. Bye!" I said sadly.
"Bye," he whispered as he closed the door.
I climbed back in the car and put my seat belt back on. I stared out the window as Adam started the drive back to the hotel. I sat in silence thinking about what I would do on my return to the WWF and how I would deal with seeing Jeff again. I know for a fact that I will turn into a complete blubbering idiot. But I guess that's the price of loving someone.
