Chapter 5
This went on for the next six months. By Jeff and my sixth moth anniversary, I was able to wrestle a pretty good match. Vince told us, as our six month anniversary present he was gonna pair us up as a tag team and allow us to eventually -probably for out one year anniversary- to win the tag team titles. That didn't break up team extreme, they just added me in. The next day, Jeff and I had off, so we flew back to North Carolina, and just spent some quality time together. Just after lunch the phone rang.
"Let the machine answer it,"Jeff told me. We were cuddling on the couch.
"Hey, You've reached Jen and Jeff. Leave a message at the beep," the machine answered.
"Jeff, Man its Shane. Do ya still want me to watch Jen for ya during ya match Friday? Call me back and let me know," He hung up. Shane Helms was Jeff's best friend.
"Jeff, what did Shane mean watch Jen?" I asked.
"Nothing. Its just that we're in New York this Friday and I want someone with ya incase Jerry shows up."
"Jeffrey, answer me truthfully, is the reason why I'm constantly surrounded during your matches because ya ask people to protect me?" I jumped up and put my hands on my hips.
"Jenny, baby, I love you." He tried to pull me back on the couch.
"Don't butter me up, ANSWER ME!"
"Jen, I love you. I never want anything bad to happen to ya. That's why I ask people to stay with ya." I gave him the evil eye.
"Do ya think I'm unable to protect myself."
"Uh...No...Not at all."
"If ya truly loved me, ya'd believe in me. I'm outta here." I grabbed my purse and left. I was still in my pajamas but too upset to care. I drove over to Amy and Matt's house. By the time I got there, I was crying.
"Jen, what happened?" Matt asked when he opened the door.
"Ya brother is a jerk." I said pushing past him entering in the house.
"Do ya want some coffee and we can talk?"
"Sure." He made the coffee and we sat at the table and talked.
"Ok what did Jeff do that ya found about that ya pissed about?"
"Ya should know, ya've babysat me for him before."
"Oh ok, that."
"That? Ya mean there's more than that he's done?"
"Jen he loves ya."
"Matt what do ya mean by that? What else did he do?"
"Just nothing. Forget I said anything. Jen Jeff loves ya and ya should go home and talk things out with him.
"Matt, ya right."
"I am? I mean yeah, I am. What am I right about?"
"I've got extra clothes in the back of my car, I should go home to my mom's. Thanks Matt, ya so smart." I hugged him and headed out.
"Wait! Thats not what I was saying." He was too late. I was already getting into my car. I drove the full sixteen hours back to Rhode Island. It was six in the morning. When I got there, but I still went to Jessica's because she told me whenever I'm in town to drop by right away.
I knocked on the door and John answered. "John? Is Jess around?"
"Yeah...Uh...Come in." I walked in and noticed everything had been moved. Also a lot of John's things were around.
Jessica emerged a minute later, still in her pajamas. "Jessi, hey. I didn't wake ya did I?"
"NO, Not at all. I'm always up at six when I don't have anywhere to go until noon time. Why are you here?"
"I'm sorry to wake ya. I just had a fight with Jeff and came home."
"You don't return my calls for six months and then pop up out of no where when things get a little rough."
"Wait, I didn't even know ya called. I never got any of ya messages. I'm sorry I thought I could turn to my friend right now."
"You can, I just thought you were using me. I didn't realize that Jeff was at fault."
"Jessi, as much as I don't want to admit it, ya were right. Jeff was a jerk. He didn't trust me. He didn't believe in me. He hasn't since I first left everything here to be with him."
"What happened that sent you packing?" I started to explain when John stuck his head out of Jessica's room. "Jessi, you coming back to bed?"
"Yeah, I'll be there in a minute," She yelled back. Then she turned to me. "You look tired. Wanna sleep for a while and we'll talk later?"
"Sure, sleep sounds good." She got an extra pillow, sheet, and blanket and set up the couch for me. "Ya know, I really appreciate this. Thanks." Jessica laughed. "What?" I asked.
"You were only down there six months and already picked up the southern accent. Here you go, make yourself comfortable."
I fell asleep at about 7am. At 11:30 am I got woke up by the phone ringing.
"Hello," I heard John answer. "Yeah she's here. Hold on." He came over and hook me. "Jen there's a call for you." He handed me the cordless.
"Hello," I mumbled with my eyes still shut.
"Jenny, hunny, baby, doll face, please don't hang up on me." The caller responded. I immediately recognized the caller's voice by the soft tone and southern accent.
"Jeff, why are ya calling? And how'd ya know I was here?"
"Jen, ya told Matt ya were headed home to ya mother's. When ya didn't show up there, I hoped ya were safe. I figured Jessica or John would know where I could find ya. I lucked out with ya being there. I want ya to come home so we can talk this out."
"Is that it? Or do ya want me to come home so you can rule my life?"
"Ya a big girl. Ya run ya own life. I don't run it for ya."
"Then why'd ya never give me any of my phone messages?"
"What are ya talking about? Whenever I check the machine there's never any messages at all on it."
"Really?"
"Yes. Jenny I love you more than life itself. Ya mean the world to me. And I want ya to be as happy as I am. So I would never keep ya from ya family or friends."
"Jeff, if ya really loved me, ya would believe in my ability to protect myself."
"Jen, I do trust ya. I just don't want ya hurt. Oh hold on a minute there's a knock at the door." I could only vaguely hear what was happening, but I could hear enough.
"Jerry? What are ya doing here?" I heard Jeff ask.
"I'm looking for my bratty daughter. Where is she?"
"She's not here. If ya'll leave a number, she'll call ya when she gets home."
"That's ok. I'll just sit here and wait."
"Ya know, I was headed out so ya'll have to leave."
"I'm not going anywhere until I speak to Jen. And you're not going anywhere until you tell me where she is."
"She's not even in town. Now will ya please leave so I can get going?"
"I'm not leaving until I take care of Jen. But since she's not here, I can get to her through you."
"Jerry, Is that a gun?" The next thing I heard was a loud bang and then the door slam shut.
"JEFF!!!!" I screamed.
"Help me," I could just bearly hear him. I felt so helpless. I wanted to be there with him.
