Chapter 2.
"Matt, I don't know what to say. At the time, till I spoke to you, I really thought you'd been seeing her behind my back. I didn't have any idea that she was a complete psycho."
"But are you angry at me?"
"Why should I be? You did nothing to encourage her except be alive. It was all in her head. I'm a little hurt that you didn't tell me this sooner, but you thought you were doing what was right. So what happened in the end? Why did she stop stalking you?"
"I'm not really sure. I think maybe someone finally asked her out, and she was so surprised that someone idid/i like her and returned her feelings, that she said yes. After a while, she just stopped being everywhere I was, and phoning me. I figured something must have made her realise she was wasting her time on me when I wasn't interested."
"Wow. I can't believe I went out with her. I knew she had some issues, but I thought we'd be able to work through them. Obviously, I could, but she couldn't. I guess I'm better off without her. I wonder what she's doing now though. She probably knows who we are, and is probably annoyed that she isn't associated with us. That's the kind of person she is." said Jeff thoughtfully. He'd gotten over his anger at not being told, and now felt both sympathy for Matt, and pity for Kiara.
"Yeah, I wonder if we'll ever see her again?"
"I doubt it. Anyway, I don't know that I want to. She's caused so much trouble that I'm glad I broke up with her."
"Yeah, I guess you're right. Hey, let's make a pact."
"What?"
"Nothing serious, or involving blood or anything! Let's just make an agreement."
"What kind of agreement?"
"Well, We could have loads of girlfriends, or maybe just a few, but we'll always be brothers. Nothing will ever change that, so lets make an agreement, that we will always speak to each other every day, and that no girls will ever turn us against each other, or make us fall out. We have a strong connection, being brothers, and I think we should keep it that way. What do you say?" said Matt. He really believed what he had just said.
"I agree. Nothing will ever take away our brotherly bond. It's impossible. And, I'm sure that there will be a lot more 'Kiara's' out there wanting to do the same to us as she did. I don't care, even when I'm old and married, nothing will keep me from speaking to you, maybe not every day, but I will try to speak to you at least three times a week. Okay, how are we going to make this pact, do we spit on our hands or something?"
"Yeah, spit on your right hand and shake. Then we always have to remember that."
Both brothers sat up, and made a great show of spitting on their hands before shaking. This was important to them both. Kiara had hurt them so badly that they never wanted to repeat the experience. Liger lay by their sides and wagged his tail, as though he agreed with them.
"Okay, nothing will ever come between us as brothers again. Now, lets go to sleep. We've got to leave early tomorrow for Denver. G'night Matt."
"G'night Jeff."
In no time at all, both Matt and Jeff were asleep, thinking about the stories they had just shared, and the future. Tomorrow was the RAW taping, and they knew they had to face Adam & Jay again, but they weren't sure what was going to happen. While they slept, Liger slept in shifts, alternately sleeping and waking up to make sure the brothers were still there and unharmed.
