A/N : I'm having a bad case of writer's block and I don't know what to do about it.This chapter is shorter and probably not very interesting but I'll get back on track soon.
Vengeance 2001 : 09-12-2001.
Valerie snorted as she walked into the building,she should have been the champion by now.But she wasn't because of her father.This was the reason she refused to accept her father's offer for a ride to the arena,she wasn't going to be nice to him,not anymore.
She had been given her own dressingroom at her request and she was glad.She felt strange and she needed privacy,now more than ever.She wasn't going to wrestle that night and she had already decided not to come out either.She was going to be there for Jeff and that would be it.
The show had long since started and Valerie knew it was almost time for Jeff's match.As she dumped her bag in her room she decided she would go to look for him right away.She walked into the hallway and was almost immediately met by Lita.
"Hey sister golden hair" Lita said.
"Hey Lolita" Valerie greeted.
Valerie looked at Lita,who was fiddling with her hair and sighed.
"Nervous huh?" Valerie asked.
"It's terrible Val,I don't wanna be the referee for this match"
"I know but everything's gonna be fine.Matt and Jeff just need to duke it out and than when they're done they can go back to being brother's again" Valerie said reassuringly.
"I hope so" Lita said sighing.
Valerie hugged Lita tightly,which made Lita feel a little bit better.
"You'll see" Valerie said.
Valerie broke the hug and looked Lita in the eyes.
"But you have to call it down the middle,you can't pick sides" Valerie said.
"If I don't pick Matt's side I'm afraid I'll lose him" Lita said.
"If you call it down the middle and Matt leaves you because of it,that's Matt's shame,not yours" Valerie said.
"That'll do me alot of good" Lita spat bitterly.
"Lita…" Valerie started.
"Just let me be Val,just let me be" Lita said,walking off.
Valerie watched Lita's retreating back with sadness in her heart.Poor girl,all caught up in the middle.Valerie sighed and decided to find Jeff.When she reached his door she knocked on his door and waited.Jeff answered the door with a tense look on his face.
"Hey" he said with a small smile.
"Hi" Valerie said softly.
Jeff walked into the room and Valerie followed.
"Listen,I know you need to focus so I'm not gonna get in your way.I'm just gonna be here when you need me" Valerie said.
Jeff turned around and looked at Valerie adoringly.
"Thank you" Jeff said.
He kissed her on the lips and turned away.Valerie sat down and started writing in her notebook.Jeff was tense and nervous,he was fighting his own brother.Why did it have to turn out this way?.Jeff didn't know but he did know he wasn't laying down for anyone,not even his big brother.
Jeff turned around and looked at his girlfriend,who was sitting in the corner with her notebook.What did I do to deserve someone as special as her?,he thought with a smile.He took a deep breath and forced his thoughts back to his match.A match he was determined to win.
Only five minutes later a stagehand came in and told Jeff it was time for his match.Valerie got up and walked to Jeff.She kissed him briefly and said:
"Good luck,I'll be watching"
Jeff smiled and nodded.He walked out the door leaving Valerie behind.Valerie sat herself down in front of the screen and got ready to watch the match.Lita's music hit and she made her way to the ring.You go girl,Valerie thought as she watched.Next Jeff came out and did his posing.The music just continued and Matt came out.
The match itself was long and hard on both Matt and Jeff but in the end Jeff hit Matt with the swanton bomb and pinned him for the win.Matt tried to get his foot on the ropes and Lita didn't see it.Jeff pulled his foot off the ropes and pinned him.Matt and Lita argued about this until Matt ran off.
When Jeff came backstage Valerie was waiting for him.She supported him as they walked back to his locker room.Valerie was very worried as she helped him sit down.
"Do you need to see a doctor?" Valerie asked.
"No,I'll be fine" Jeff said as he tried to steady his breathing.
Valerie stroked his back as he leaned into her.Jeff smiled as he rested his head against Valerie's shoulder. The stroking of his back calmed him enormously and he was beginning to have trouble staying awake.They sat there for a while until Jeff was ready to get up.Valerie helped Jeff into the shower where Jeff assured Valerie he would be fine on his own.
"Getting prudish on me are we?" Valerie asked with a smile.
"No,I'm just saying we should save the good stuff for later" Jeff said grinning slyly.
"Are you hungry?" Valerie asked blushing.
"Starving" Jeff said.
"I'll have something ready for you when you're done" Valerie said.
Valerie walked out of the room and Jeff took a shower.She walked out of the room and to the cafeteria.A nice meal will do him good.She walked into the cafeteria and ordered a meal of potatoes,steak and vegetables, pudding for desert and a large glass of coke.She walked out with the full tray and headed for Jeff's lockerroom. She figured he would be done by now.
As she walked the napkin she had taken with her slid off the tray.She made an exasperated sound as she put the tray down on a table in the hall and bent down to get the napkin.As she was squatting down two very broad legs approached.She got up and found herself face to face with Rhyno,again.She gasped as he backed her up against the wall.He pressed his forehead against hers and looked her up and down but as he had done the first time,he walked off.
She breathed a sigh of relief as she watched him go and she picked the tray up again.She walked into Jeff's room,still a little bit shaken by Rhyno,and saw Jeff sitting there in clean clothes with a smile on his face.She smiled back,forgetting all about what had happened,and put the tray down in front of Jeff.
"What did you get me?" Jeff asked.
"Lots of potatoes and lots of vegetables" Valerie said.
She grabbed his fork,spiked a vegetable and held it to Jeff's mouth.
"Vegetable are good for you" she said seriously.
Jeff laughed and ate the vegetable.He ate the rest of the meal while Valerie watched the show.Her uncle Kane and the Big Show had just finished losing their match.Shit.
After that match it was time for her father the Undertaker to take on RVD for the Hardcore Championship.Kick his ass Rob.He deserves it.Valerie had been willing to mend things with her father but he had shown no remorse about postponing her match nor was he planning on leaving Jeff alone.Fine than,if that's what he wants.Taker won the match,eliciting a stream on not so proper words from Valerie's mouth,and became the new Hardcore Champion.
"Look at him showing off his belt,like he deserves it" Valerie sneered.
Jeff kissed Valerie on the back of her head and put his arms around her.He agreed with Valerie when it came to Taker but he didn't want her to waste her energy on it.Valerie watched the rest of the show but she and Jeff were mainly interested in eachother.
Trish Stratus defeated Jacqueline.Good for her.When Valerie caught herself thinking that she felt a little ashamed.Trish deserved the title and it wasn't her fault Valerie didn't have the title.
Kurt Angle faced Steve Austin (champ) and Valerie wasn't really interested.She didn't care for Kurt and she defenitely didn't care for Austin.What she cared for was the Rock winning the title by the end of the night.
Austin won the match and was still champion.
By the time the Rock and Chris Jericho squared off Jeff was fast asleep in her arms.She smiled down at him and kissed his forehead.My Jeffy.
The Rock and Chris Jericho went at it and Valerie silently cheered for the Rock,making sure not to wake Jeff up.Jericho won the match and Valerie scowled.
The last match of the night was Steve Austin vs Chris Jericho and Valerie didn't care who won.She grabbed the remote and turned the tv off.She rested her head and closed her eyes.It didn't take long for her to fall asleep.10 minutes later there was a knock on the door,both Jeff and Valerie were asleep so nobody answered.The knock came again but still nobody answered.The door slowly opened and a 6'10 foot figure stepped into the room followed by a 7 foot figure.
They looked at the two lovebirds as they slept in eachother's arms and Taker couldn't help but smile.Maybe he was wrong to try to pry Jeff Hardy away from Valerie.
"Let's go before we wake them up" Kane whispered.
Taker nodded as he and Kane walked to the door.Before Taker left he cast another glance at his daughter. Maybe,just maybe.
