A/N: Hey ya'll! I just had a few things to say. Um, well, ya remember me speaking about Matt? The guy that I like that went off to the army? Well, he's comin home in a month!!! I'm so excited!! He hated it and found some way out. I'm not sure how, but he did. So he'll be back. Jessy and I are getting back onto good terms. I have to go get my bridesmaid dress for her wedding in August. So that's a plus. I'm so close to getting my license! YEAH BABY!!! WOO!!! I'm also goin to my 3rd WWE show, 2nd one this year, at the end of the month. I have no clue who's gonna be there. They're not releasing a card. I have some ideas, but that's it. I have 4th row tix to see the SD guys. OH!! And the most bizarre thing, Vince McMahon is gonna be there!! The man doesn't do house shows!!! And then to come to Augusta, Maine?! Back woods Maine? That's massively bizarre. So I'm guessing it's gonna be a kick asshis show! Oh, I got the crap scared out off me Sunday nite. I was sitting at my computer reading a very awesome story which I've already read before but wanted to read again and watching some stupid movie on Sci-fi called Dagon. Anyways, I had to get into a different position so I pulled my left leg up onto the desk. I had been like that for a little bit and was comfortable. Then all of a sudden my right foot started itching. So with my left arm, since I have fairly long arms, reached down to scratch it under my left leg. Well, I wrenched my arm or something. It was the worst pain ever imaginable. I have never been in such pain before and I've had some bad injuries. Well, I'm sitting straight up in my chair and I start to feel sick. Then my vision went all blurry. I was like all wobbly. Then the next thing I know I shoot right up into a sitting position like I had been shot out of a cannon or something. I looked around me and realized I had blacked out. I was so freaked out. I couldn't figure out what happened to me. The movie was at a whole new part in the story and that's how I figured out that I had blacked out for a good 2 minutes. After that I felt fine, my vision was back to normal, and my arm was no longer killing me. I had never been so freaked in my life. I've never blacked out from pain before. If I didn't know any better I would have said that I had dislocated my shoulder just from the pain I had. If that tells you how bad it was. Guess who I've been having dreams about. Actually, don't cause you never will get the right answer. First off, one nite I had a dream involving Jeff Hardy, Chris Jericho, and are you ready for this one? Chris Benoit! How the hell does that happen?! And no, it wasn't a sex dream. I haven't had one of those involving Chris or Jeff yet. Shane yes, but not them two. And last nite I experienced a Chris Benoit sex dream!! AH!!! I don't think that's natural. Really I don't. He's just not, well, ya know. So that's my sicko mind for ya. But yeah, that's my news for the time being. Um, this chapter is pretty much surrounded by a song, the song "Rest in Pieces" by Saliva. Here's the next chapter!

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

'Look at me, my depth perception must be off again'

"So, know what you're gonna do to Paul yet?" Shane asked as we found our seats on the Titan end zone.

"No, I'm still trying to figure out the best prank ever," I answered with a smile. "I can't believe these seats!"

"Yeah, they would have been better if I could have gotten the ones on the 50 yard line," he replied with anger.

'Cause this hurts deeper than I thought it did'

I looked over at him and laughed. It had to have been the coldest day ever in Tennessee, but we were prepared. We looked like a couple of Eskimos, bundled up in our Columbia coats, scarves, gloves, hats/earmuffs, and of course our respective team blankets draped on our bodies. By half- time, I couldn't feel anything. My body had gone completely numb from cold. Somehow Shane knew this and pulled me into his body holding me tightly, rubbing my arms to warm me up. I probably should have pulled away, but I was too comfortable and he was keeping me warm. When the game ended, the Titans had won 23 to 17. It was the best game I had ever witnessed, probably because my team had kicked ass.

"Thank you," I said breaking the silence in the car as we drove to the airport after the game to fly home. 'Home,' I thought. '3 days to be home and relax.' A smiled formed on my face as I thought.

"For what?" he asked.

'It has not healed with time'

I looked over at him somewhat confused and realized he was replying to my comment. "For the game."

'It just shot down my spine'

"No problem. I had a good time. Even if my team did lose," he scowled playfully.

"Well obviously the better team won," I gloated.

"Luck. It was pure luck," Shane said pulling into the rental car parking lot.

"They didn't need luck to beat the Redskins. The Redskins suck it up to all the teams! It was an easy win!" I teased.

"Easy my ass," he muttered.

"So what are you doing during this short vacation?" I asked.

"Nothing important," he answered quickly. "You?"

'You look so beautiful tonight'

"Just catching up on some much needed downtime with Jeff. Probably just lay in bed the whole time. He's been getting kinda burned out again," I replied with a sigh.

"Yeah, I've noticed he's been a little off lately."

"Yeah, he definitely needs this time off to mess with his music, work on the yard, tend to the animals, and just not think about wrestling," I nodded to myself. I smiled although I was scared deep down. This wasn't the first time Jeff had gotten like this. And every time he did he threatened to quit. I knew it'd be hard to travel without him, to be away from him for long periods of time, to not have him by my side. It scared me to think that this time he could just very well quit. That his threats might actually not be threats. I wasn't too positive our relationship would or could last through those kinds of absences. 'Casey, you idiot! He's your soul mate. Of course it'll last!' Those thoughts were the only thing keeping my fears at bay.

'Remind me how you laid us down'

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

"So what are we doin today?" I asked rolling over in Jeff's arms as the sun shown brightly through the window and the wind blew the curtains slightly. He opened his eyes and smiled slightly, tightening his hold on me.

"Not a thing," he replied softly.

"So we're gonna just lay around in bed all day?" I asked.

"Yeah, maybe dirt bike or do some painting. But that's about it," he said his smile faded.

"Oh, okay," I sighed as Luna jumped off the bed and ran out the door. "You sure you don't wanna get out and do something?"

'And gently smiled before you destroyed my life'

"I'm positive. Case, I just need a few days to recuperate. This is all starting to take its toll on my body again."

"I know, I just don't know if I wanna spend the whole day in bed," I said sitting up.

'Would you find it in your heart'

"Well, what about havin Matt and Amy come over. We'll have like a BBQ tonite or something. Maybe even have Shane, Shannon, Crystal, and Kimberly over."

'To make this go away'

I turned my head around and stared at him when he mentioned the name Kimberly. "Who the hell is Kimberly?!"

"Um, well, she's um, you don't know?" Jeff stuttered.

"If I did, I wouldn't have asked!"

"Kimberly is Shane's new girlfriend. I thought you knew about her. They've been together since the beginning of October. They have a history together. She's here. She's um, she's from Arizona."

'And let me rest in pieces'

"Why didn't I know about her?!"

"I don't know. I thought everyone knew."

'Would you find it in your heart?'

"So he's been keeping a girlfriend from me for almost 2 months?!"

'To make this go away'

"Looks that way. Listen, I just found out two weeks ago. They've been tryin to keep it secrete I guess."

"I'm taking a shower!" I exclaimed as I walked out of the room.

'And let me rest in pieces'

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

I walked down the stairs into the living room to join Matt, Amy, and Jeff. I had been in a state of confusion since that morning's new findings. I couldn't believe Shane had a new girlfriend and I didn't know anything about her. I pretty much spent the day moping around the house.

'Would you find it in your heart?'

"I can't believe they're already moving in together," I heard Matt say. I stopped and listened to their conversation.

'To make it go away'

"Shh, Casey just found out about her this morning. I told her cause I thought he told her about Kim," Jeff replied.

"You mean he didn't?! Wow, that's not like him. Why wouldn't he tell her?" Amy asked.

"God only knows. Sometimes his head isn't in the right place. And it's getting more frequent that it's in the wrong place," Matt shook his head.

'And let me rest in pieces'

"So, who wants to play Mortal Kombat against the reigning champ? Moi?" I smiled stepping in the room.

"I'll play," Matt challenged. I nodded at him and pretended to look for the game.

"Damn it! I forgot. Shane has it. I'll be back in a few hours!" I said as I ran out the door.

"Where's she goin?" Jeff asked watching me leave in a hurry.

"To get Mortal Kombat from Shane," Amy said.

"But we have it. It's right there," Jeff pointed to the disk that sat on top of the TV.

"Oh shit. She must have heard us talking about Shane and Kim. How much ya wanna bet that she's goin to interrupt their move in day?" Matt asked.

"I'm with you on that bet," Jeff sighed.

I drove down the road as fast as I possibly could. I needed to find out what was going on and who this Kim chick actually was. I couldn't help wonder why he wouldn't tell me about her. What would make him keep their relationship secrete from me?

"They can't be moving in together! They just can't be!" I exclaimed to myself as I slammed my hand down on the wheel.

'Case, why do you care? He's not yours anymore. You gave him up for the man of your dreams,' my thoughts spoke to me. They were right. I did drop him, for Jeff. But it still didn't make any sense. I pulled into his drive way and noticed there was an extra car in the driveway, with a small U-Hal trailer attached to it.

'Look at me, my depth perception must be off again'

I got out of the car and slowly walked up to Shane's door. I could hear the soft laughter of who I assumed to be Kim's. I knew deep down that I didn't want to do this, but I needed to. I needed answers and I needed them now. I slowly knocked on the door, even though he had insisted that I didn't have to.

"Just a minute!" I heard her yell.

She opened the door with a bright smile, dressed in a tank top, faded jeans, and Nikes. Her hair was pulled back in a ponytail and she had on glasses. I noticed she was my height as she continued to smile at me. "Hi, can I help you?" she asked softly.

"I'm, well, never mind," I said as I turned to go back to the car.

'You got much closer than I thought you did'

"Are you looking for Shane?" she asked. I turned back to her and her smile was still intact. I wanted to walk up to her slap it off her face.

"Baby, who is it?" Shane asked walking to the door. His mouth dropped open as he stared at me.

'I'm in your reach'

"Case," he said sounding shocked.

"Oh you're Casey!" she exclaimed with excitement. "Shane's told me so much about you. I was hoping to meet you when you all were in Arizona but he told me you were too busy. I'd love to get to know the girl that I hear about all the damn time."

'You held me in your hands'

I ignored her, pretending like she wasn't standing next to him with her arm around his waist. I looked into his brown eyes and resisted the urge to cry. I didn't know what was wrong with me or why I felt like I did. I had no reason to feel sick at the sight of them.

'Would you find it in your heart'

"I'm Kimberly," she said reaching her hand out to me. I looked down at it and smiled slightly, shaking it gently. "It's so nice to meet you."

"Yeah, you too," I replied looking past her to Shane's eyes once again.

'To make this go away

And let me rest in pieces'

"Case, what are you doin here? I thought you were spending the day with Jeff," he swallowed hard. He looked just as uncomfortable as I felt.

'Would you find it in your heart?

To make this go away'

"I um," I couldn't really speak. I was in too much shock.

'And let me rest in pieces

Would you find it in your heart?

To make it go away

And let me rest in pieces'

"Why don't you come in?" Kim offered.

"No, I should probably go. It was nice meeting you," I smiled as I turned to the car. I scratched the back of my head then rubbed my forehead.

"Case, wait!" Shane called causing me to turn around. "Why don't you go finish unpacking Kim? I need to talk to Case for a few."

"Sure," she said reaching up to kiss his lips.

'But could you find it in your heart?'

"Why didn't you tell me about her Shane?!" I exclaimed once she shut the door.

"I don't know. I just couldn't," he replied looking at the ground.

"I don't understand!" I said trying with all that I had to keep my tears at bay.

'To make this go away'

"I don't know. I wanted to. I just never found the right time to do it," he said.

"And now she's moving in with you?"

"Yeah, she is."

"I gotta go," I said quickly.

"Casey, please!" Shane said pulling me around to face him. He put one hand on my shoulder and the other one my chin, raising my head up towards his.

"I'll see you later," I said as I broke free from him and practically ran to my car.

'And let me rest in pieces'

Shane watched me speed out of the driveway before going back in the house. It was the weirdest thing. It was almost as though I was jealous. I guess I always figured he'd be there in case I needed him. In case Jeff and I called it quits. Seeing him with Kim brought me back to reality. A reality in which I suppose I didn't really want to live in. Again I was stuck in a sort of love triangle. Although I suppose it could now be considered a love square with the addition of Kim. I know had to tell myself that I had lost him, I had finally lost Shane to another girl. She was where I had once been. She was where I had once called home. Home, that was with Jeff now. But I couldn't get the pictures of Shane and Kim being together. That was something I knew I wouldn't be able to get over quickly.
