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 having a good time with this story now! LOL I'm a total cheese head about it too. So you guys have to put up with it. I'm also getting new reviewers as I get deeper into it, so that's wonderful too. So thank you guys for the reviews on chapter 21, because twenty-two is up and here comes twenty-three!
***************
"How can you think going back to the ring and wrestling is going to be better for you Angel?"
"Shawn, I told you why I need to do it. Jason wants to try and screw with me, well the only way I'm going to get revenge and feel that he didn't hurt me is to hurt him. I know the last time all of this went down, it ended badly. This time, I know what I need from this going in, and nothing can touch me now. Can you understand that?"
"Yeah, I suppose I can. What does Matt think about all of this?"
"He's glad to have a reason to come over to RAW on Monday's now, so he's dealing with it fine. So is Jeff and Shane thinks its awesome. Everyone knows why I'm doing this and accepts it for what it is."
"So tell me sis, where do you stand with the men in your life right now? It's been a week since we talked about Matt and your feelings for him. Has anything changed?"
"Nothing at all. We've actually been out on two dates since then and yes I know about him coming and seeing you. He finally broke down and told me he wanted your okay before he made a move with me. So thank you for giving him that and for giving me what you did. I know what you think about me being involved with someone in the industry, so it must have totally went against everything you believed."
"Not everything I believed. I just want you to be happy, and I can see that with the elder hardy brother, you are happy. So just enjoy it. What do you plan to do about Jeff and Shane? You do realize they both care deeply for you right?"
"Yeah I do, and Shane and I have sat down over the last week and talked a lot of stuff through actually. He met a girl outside of the business and he thinks it might go somewhere, so he asked me if that was okay with me. I told him it was, and now things couldn't be better. I think I switched best friends overnight or something."
"Does he know about you and Matt, and what feelings are happening there?"
"Yeah, I told him everything and he told me he was cool with it, and that he would always be there for me if things didn't work out or if I just needed a friend. I couldn't ask for anything more then that at this point."
"What about Jeff though?"
"Jeff is harder for me to deal with, and that's because of the past and what I cant seem to let go of at this point. When you guys turned your backs on me over something as silly as working with Orton and Paul, I mean a lot of things changed and I adapted to them. When I kiss Jeff though or when he holds me, the same feelings are there, and they don't feel bad. I just need to think about where I want all of this to go. I hate wanting two brothers."
"Yeah, and I'm sure they both hate wanting you."
Angel laughed and smacked her brother on the arm. This was something that she couldn't really find the words to joke about but it was nice that Shawn could. He could always show her a different side of the coin after she'd been stuck on the same side for so long. She had to admit to herself how nice it felt having Shawn in her life completely again, and not just as a passing ride.
"Yeah, I'm so easy to hate aren't I?"
"Oh yes you are sis. I just hope you find what you are looking for with the two of them soon, and also that you find the peace within yourself to get on from the accident, even though the scars will never heal. I know what Jay did was bad, and I want to kill him for it, but I have to leave that up to you and what you think is the right thing to do."
"Right now the right thing for me to do is kick his ass, and make him see that I know. I'm glad Chris told me that this happened. I mean I had gotten over it and come to terms with the scars and the pain, but knowing that it wasn't something I did to the car, it makes it that much better, but at the same time, mad as hell. He has to pay, and if that means I get into the ring again and whip his ass around like a Michael's should, then so be it. I have to do it."
"Well just remember, I'm here for you if you need me."
"I won't forget, you're my blood remember? Plus you've taught me everything I know about being strong. So you have to be there."

"You want a what Angel?" Jim asked taking a deep breath. She had breezed her way through the door again and she was already demanding things. The one thing he knew though was that she would get what she wanted. That's just the way that Angel Michael's was. You couldn't help but give her what she needed.
"I want a no DQ match with Jason Jim. Do you think you can do that? If you can't then why don't you just throw me with Jeff, and we can do it together as a team with him and someone of his choosing. I want Jason to not know what he's in store for."
"Well I can't give you the singles match just yet, it wouldn't be fair to the other competitors who want a chance at that belt he has strapped around his waste. I can do you the tag match though. I want to see what you can do when you team with a Hardy. It will keep things interesting. I also know the fans missed seeing you with Evolution."
"Yeah, well I needed to do some of my own things, but I'm back now, and there will be no stopping me now. I missed the fans too, and it felt wonderful being in the crowd and watching a few months ago. Almost like being home again but without the issues ya know?"
"I do, so then its all set. On Monday you will be facing Christian and a partner of his choosing, man or woman, and you will team with Jeff Hardy. Maybe you can inspire him to put his focus back in the ring while you're out there too. He certainly needs it if he wants to keep his job."
"What?"
"Oh nevermind. I'm just thinking out loud. Look, you have your match, and we will get you the script before the weekend, how does that sound?"
"Sounds good to me Jim. I'll be in touch."
"I have no doubt you will be."
Walking out of the office and closing the door behind her, she couldn't help but smile. She had set out to do something and it was all coming back to her in spades. Unlike the first time around, she was doing this on her own terms, and she couldn't be happier if she tried. Now she just had to make sure she made Jay's life a living hell.
******************
"You look amazing tonight Angel. Where are you going so dressed up?" Jeff asked looking her up and down with approval.
"Your brother said he has something he wants to tell me, and that I should dress up. I'm so totally not wanting to do this right now though, so please can the flattery. It won't get you anything but a slap."
Jeff laughed and hugged her close to him. He loved having her back and they seemed to be getting closer then ever, but he still couldn't understand why she wasn't spending so much time with his brother. He knew they were friends, but what kind of friends were they if they were dressing up to go out?
"What's going on with you and Matt anyway? You've like been out together every night that you're home together."
"It's complicated Jeff. He just needs a girl around him I think. You've gotten like that before haven't you?" Angel replied trying to hide the little flush to her cheeks she was getting at the lie she was telling Jeff.
"Yeah I suppose I have. I just don't get Matt anymore I guess. Have a nice time anyway. I will talk to you when you get home or something."
"You will Jeff, and thanks."
"Thanks for what?"
"For saying I looked good. I don't think you need a slap. It was nice."
"Just the truth baby. I'll see you later."
With a gentle kiss to her cheek he left her room and walked down the stairs. He didn't want to admit it to himself but he had a feeling that there was more to Angel and Matt then they were both letting on, and he was damn sure going to find out. There was no way Matt was going to steal this girl away from him. At least not without a fight.
