Chapter 10: Weekend Visit
A few months later, Jeff and Matt were coming to Boston to visit for a weekend. Kelly and I went to the
airport to meet them.

"Kelly, I can't wait to see Jeff. It's been so long." I said as we walked towards the gate.

"I know, almost four months. But at least you get to talk to Jeff all the time."

I felt bad for Kelly. I honestly thought that she and Matt would work out. Lately, they have been fighting a
lot. According to her, they hardly talk anymore. She tries to act as though she's not affected, but I know it
hurts her. Jeff says it's killing Matt. I don't know what to do though. I almost feel guilty for being so
happy with Jeff. He's wonderful - considerate, caring, funny. He's pretty much everything I've ever
wanted in a boyfriend, except for the fact that I hardly see him. We talk at least twice a week though.
Somehow it all works.

"Are things any better with you two?" I asked as we sat at the gate awaiting their plane's arrival.

I could see the tears building up in her eyes. "I don't know. We're still fighting all the time, it's not even
about anything. It's stupid stuff, things like why we hardly talk. One of us is always out doing something.
Maybe it's just the long distance thing. I don't know."

"Well, at least he's making an effort to improve things. Matt wouldn't be coming if he didn't want to,
especially since he knows he couldn't come here and not see you."

"I hope you're right." She added solemnly.

The flight attendant opened the door to the gate. The plane had landed and they were ready to de-plane.
Kelly and I stared at the door, waiting to see Matt and Jeff. Of course they were the last two off the plane.

"There they are!" I jumped up from my seat as I saw Matt and Jeff walking down the jet walk. Kelly stood
and I waved to them as they continued walking. As they walked through the doorway, I ran to Jeff. He
dropped his bag by his side and we embraced one another.

"I missed you baby." Jeff whispered as we embraced.

"I missed you too, hun." I said as we separated. "I can't believe you're really here and you're all mine for
the next two days."

Kelly had now joined us. "Hi Matt." She and Matt kissed briefly.

"Hi Kelly." Matt said as they broke apart.

Jeff and I looked at each other. They were so somber. "Well. . . we should go." Jeff said as he picked up
his bag.

"Hey there, Matt. How are you?" I asked as I stepped towards him and hugged him.

"I've been better, but I'm okay." He responded.

I don't think he's smiled yet. That's so not like him. If nothing else, you can always count on Matt having
a smile at all times. This is pretty bad.

We began walking out of the airport. Jeff and I held hands as we walked out to the car. No one said
anything. When we got to the car, I unlocked the trunk so that Matt and Jeff could put their bags inside. I
went to the driver's side to unlock the doors, as Kelly just stood by the rear passenger door. She was
staring off into space and she didn't look happy.

"Hey hun, do you want me to drive?" Jeff asked as he closed the trunk and began walking over to me.

"Thanks baby." I said as I handed the keys to him. We walked around the car to the passenger's side. Jeff
opened my door, waited until I was seated, and closed my door. He then opened the rear passenger door
and waited until Kelly was seated in the back seat. He closed the door behind her and walked back around
the car to the driver's seat. Matt got into the back seat and Jeff got into the driver's seat. Jeff started the
car and I leaned over and kissed him. God, I forgot how good this felt! I gasped for air as we broke apart.

As we were driving down the highway, I could see Kelly in the passenger side rear view mirror. She was
upset, actually she looked angry, staring out the window. They hadn't said a word since we left the
airport. This is not good. "So, how's your dad doing?" I asked, hoping to break the silence.

"He's good. He asked about you." Jeff replied.

"Oh really?"

"You're about the only thing Jeff talks about. Wouldn't you be curious?" Matt interjected.

"Oh babe, you really talk about me?"

"Of course I do. He can't wait to meet you."

"He's promoting a new show. We're going down there next week after the Smackdown taping to help."
Matt added.

"That's kewl. What nice sons you are to help your dad out." I glanced at the rear view mirror again. Kelly
was still staring out the window.

"What's Lita up to this weekend?" I asked.

"She's at home this weekend. Her, Shannon, and Shane were going to go to the Amusement Park." Jeff
answered.

Matt didn't add anything.

"Are you sure that she can survive a whole weekend without you?" Kelly snipped, turning her attention to
Matt.

Matt turned to Kelly. "Kelly, I told you. There is nothing going on with me and Lita. She's just a friend,
we've known her for years. You know that."

"Kelly, she's been our best friend since we were running Omega," Jeff added.

I put my hand on Jeff's arm. "Hun, don't. This is between them."

"I know, but. . ."

"Babe, I understand, but it's not our place." I interrupted him.

"That's okay, Sam. We're done." Kelly said.

"What do you want me to do? I can't ignore her, she's part of Team Xtreme and she's my best friend."
Matt argued.

"I didn't say to ignore her, but you're always with her. She lives one town over. She's your girlfriend in
the WWF. Not to mention that she really was your girlfriend at one point. And you want me to believe
that there's nothing going on between you two?" Kelly yelled back at Matt.

"Yes, because I told you there is nothing going on with me and Lita. "

"I'm sorry, but I have a lot of trouble believing that." Kelly said.

Nothing was said for the rest of the drive to my apartment. Once we arrived at my apartment, Matt and
Jeff took their bags from the trunk and followed me into my apartment. Kelly followed behind.

"Alright guys, follow me." I said as I began down the hallway. I stopped in front of one of the guest rooms
and opened the door. "Unkay, you two are rooming together. The bathroom is right next door. There are
towels and washcloths in the closet. Kelly is staying in the room across the hall, and my room is at the end
of the hall on the left." Matt and Jeff entered the room and put their bags down on their respective beds.
"If you need anything, just let me know. Other than that, make yourselves at home. I'm going to check on
Kelly, so I'll leave you two to unpack." I left the room, closing the door behind me and walked back down
the hallway to find Kelly. She was seated on the couch in the living room. I sat beside her.
