Disclaimer: I own Angel Michael's, and for that I am grateful, otherwise the other guys and girls listed in this purely romantic wrestling story all own themselves and the WWE owns whatever characters they have created for them.

A/N: I'm actually having more fun with this one then the Matt Hardy one I was working on, so this one is getting all of my attention right now. I think that's so amazing because this was the first fan fic I ever wrote about any of the wrestlers since I was like 15, and at some point like 6 chapters ago, that's where I stopped writing it offline. Now it's become that much better to me and I want to see it end well. So basically what I'm trying to say here, is I'm going to do right by this one and then figure out where I want to go with the rest. So enjoy number 20 folks! Thanks so much for the reviews. You guys all kick my ass.

"Can I come in Angel?"

Angel heard Matt on the other side of the door, but she didn't want to see anyone after the comments that were made downstairs. She never knew that Jeff felt that way about everything after all this time. He had moved on with Beth without a second thought to her, and she had done the same with Lindsay. So why was it such a huge deal to him now? She knew she should let Matt in but she couldn't bring herself to get off the bed she was lying on.

"Just come in, I don't feel like getting up to let you in with niceties."

Matt opened the door and took one look at her on the bed, tears staining her eyes. He really did feel for her, she shouldn't have walked in on Jeff ranting. He knew his brother didn't mean one damn word of what he had said, he was just making it easier for everyone to get along. Matt wanted that but at the same time, if there was something there with Angel and him then Matt didn't want his brother to screw that up either, and from the looks of it, she was really hurt by Jeff's words.

"You want to talk about it?"

"What can I say Matt? I know how he really feels now. I think he cleared the air for everyone down there a second ago."

"He didn't mean it Angel."

"Yeah Matt whatever. He said what he felt and while it hurts like a bitch, I'm glad he did it. I really shouldn't have come back here to this. I knew it was going to cause nothing but issues."

"Don't you dare go there and say you shouldn't have left and come back here. We are your family and you know it. I know right now your pretty pissed off at all of us, and I can totally agree with you on that, but we love you and staying where you were with Lindsay, you would have gotten hurt."

"I don't mean with Lindsay, I just mean not coming here. I should have taken Shawn up on his offer and got the hell out of here."

"I want you here, does that matter at all to you? I love you Angel Michael's and I can't imagine you anywhere but here with me. I need you to be here for my own sanity. Can you even begin to get that?"

"You love me?"

"What kind of question is that? Of course I do. You're like my own built in sister and believe me, we can talk better then Jeff and I ever did. So yes I love you."

Angel was about to open her mouth to tell him about the conversation with Shawn from the afternoon when the sister comment caught her off guard. She had always known there was some sort of connection with them, and she had at one point seen them as family, but they weren't really family, and she thought there was something there no one, even her was seeing.

"Okay."

"What does that mean Angel?"

"Sit down Matt, I've got something to say and you aren't going to like it."

"You are not leaving this house again, do you hear me? So get the idea out of your head right now."

"No Matt, what I have to tell you would just cement my being here. It could also make you want to leave, I'm not sure, so just let me say it and then you can decide what you want to do with it."

With one confused last look, Matt took a seat on her bed beside her and put his hand on top of hers. She really looked troubled and he hoped in any way that he could help her, but he had a feeling this wasn't going to be something good.

*******************

"So what do you think they are talking about up there?" Jeff asked shifting his head to look up the stairs.

"Does it matter to you in the least right now? Do you realize what an asshole you really are?"

"Shane, I didn't mean it."

"Well I know you didn't mean it you ass! The thing is we all know you and we know how you react to a girl when you're in love with her. She doesn't know though, and you might have just single handedly messed up your own life."

"I'm sorry but you heard Matt. He doesn't want up touching her at all while she's here, and I can agree to an extent, but he's going overboard with it. So I just thought I would tell him what he wanted to hear and then he would leave us all alone and go back to the ring and I could do what I need to do with her."

"What would that be Jeff? What exactly do you want to do to Angel?"

"I want to.well this is kind of weird, me telling you, who until a short while ago was still in love with her. I want to be with her Shane, I want to make up for every stupid thing I did in the past and just love her."

"I see."

"What was that for?"

"Jeff, you think it was easy for me letting her go? I never really did it. She was just amazing to me, and to hear you go on about loving her and making up for the past, well I'm sorry but I cant be around to watch you do that. Do you even begin to understand that it was your kiss and her kissing you back and feeling bad that left to her running from us in the first place? Do you really want to take a chance that it happens again?"

"What are you saying Shane? You love her too?"

"I've always cared for her. I don't know if it was love because we weren't given the chance to build on it. I do want to be with her, sure, I mean look at her. When she got hurt in the accident, my heart almost died. The thought of losing her and losing what we were building on scared the shit out of me. What hurt more was when my best friend made a move on her, and she ran away."

"So you're still mad over it with me aren't you?"

"No Jeff, I no longer care what you did and what happened after, all I care about now is that girl upstairs and how much your words hurt her. I've never seen her face that hurt, even after Lindsay."

"Well what the hell do you want me to do?"

"Leave her alone. Let her come to us. For once we should do what Matt told us too."

******************

"What is this about Angel?"

Angel took one look at him and not wanting to waste the moment, moved across the bed. Bringing her hands to his cheek, she placed her lips onto his and gently kissed him. At first he didn't respond, and she thought of stopping the kiss, but as she started to pull away, he brought her lips back to his and deepened it. Meeting her tongue halfway he played with her, and with his own feelings. Pulling away quickly, he glanced at her in shock.

"I'm sorry Matt."

"I don't know what to say."

"Don't say anything, we can forget it happened alright? It was just something I had to do."

"You regret it?"

"No I don't."

"Well then tell me what's going on in your head Angel please. I'm really confused here."

"I went out to lunch with Shawn, or dinner, whatever you want to call it and he brought up how close we are. You and I. He asked me if the thought ever crossed my mind of dating you, and I couldn't lie to him. This was just my way of testing to see if it was real."

"And is it?"

"You tell me. What did you feel kissing me Matt?"

"I think I made a mistake."
