Happy Life
When white fades to black,
When light provides the view,
What's wet will turn dry,
When rain falls continue,
I may not continue.
My happy place is in you,
I hope to continue,
this Happy Life we live.
What's yours will fade to mine,
when love provides the income.
What's mine will turn to yours.....
All of it and then some
We may not continue...
My happy place is in you.
We will continue....
This Happy Life we live
~ Jeffrey Nero Hardy
" Jeff what are you talking about?" Patricia was so confused now. He had just told her He didn't want Beth? Was he sick?
" I don't want Beth! I want you! Can't you see? Why are you so blind! Why do you think I want Beth by now? Tell me Patricia have you not noticed anything?" Jeff asked.
" I did, but I assumed."
" There was nothing to assume," Jeff said cutting her off. " It was simple! I had no interest in Beth anymore! It was you who I wanted to be with! You!"
" Jeff stop yelling!" Patricia said putting her hands over her ears.
" I know you don't want to hear this but it's true!" Jeff took her hands and held them at her sides so she could hear " I LOVE YOU! I'll scream it out to the world if I have too! I DON'T LOVE BETH BRITT ANYMORE! I LOVE PATRICIA STRATUS!" People were now staring at the two. Some of the people recognized them and just had their mouth hanging open.
" Jeff you're making a scene." Patricia said trying to quiet him down and taking her hands away from his.
" If I have to marry you to have your heart I will." Jeff said getting on one knee.
" Get up Jeff! Get up!" Patricia said as people looked on.
" Marry me! Love me forever!" Jeff begged. He didn't seem to care anymore. He was loosing it!
" I can't be with you Jeff! I'm the one that puts you with other people!" Patricia yelled.
" Patricia, do you love me?"
" I can't answer that." She said quietly.
" DO YOU LOVE ME?" He yelled.
" I don't know!" She screamed. She then ran away, not wanting to see anyone, except for one person.
**********
" Hey, I don't even know why you'd ask me in the first place!" Shannon said putting a chocolate kiss in his mouth.
" I just thought you'd know why he acted the way he did," Patricia said. " Since you've known him for a long time."
" There are some things about Jeff that even Matt doesn't really know about. He's a whole mystery to all of us, but if there's someone you need to talk to, it would be Jeff himself, or maybe even Matt. Talking to Jeff will probably be awkward, and Matt would threaten you not to break his heart like Beth did. I know Jeff's gotten his heart broken more then me and Matt has, he's also fallen in love more then we have. Think of it though, Matt's had always been obsessed with wrestling, and hadn't fallen in love until Amy whose shared his passion. Now he's pretty much set for awhile. I've had Crystal practically all my life! I've had her since I really started having crushes on girls, and even before I've started having serious crushes. Jeff, now Jeff's different. He's not obsessed with wrestling, he hadn't had someone his whole life, and Beth got away. I think you're perfect for Jeff! I'm not gonna say you aren't, but Jeff's not gonna hide his feelings, because he doesn't want you to hide yours." Patricia hugged Shannon.
" Thank Shannon. You really helped." She said letting go of him.
" No problem!" He said smiling. Patricia left his room. Jeff would be in their room by now, or looking for her. So she decided to sit in the greenhouse. The flowers there were so beautiful. She loved how they look. It made her think. Maybe she should give Jeff a second chance. Maybe he would be good for her. She always said she wanted someone to love.
" It's gonna be so hard to tell Jeff how I feel, but how is he gonna know?"
" Maybe you should just tell me." Patricia turned and jumped. Jeff was sitting on the other side of the bench with a few daisies in his hands. He was picking petals off of them. He then took one that was pretty and reached over to Patricia and put in her hair.
" Jeff, I don't know about this. We've been friends, but if we have a break up, like you did with Beth, it's gonna ruin our friendship. I know that because you can't even look Beth straight in the eye without regret. I don't know if we should try, but if we do, at the end of it all, I want us to stay friends." Patricia said with a pleading look in her eye.
" If that's what you want, I promise." Jeff smiled. Patricia smiled back.
" So it's us now." Patricia said looking up.
" You wanna kiss to make sure it's real?" Jeff said looking down.
" I'll do it if you want to." Patricia said looking at him. They moved closer together. Brining their lips close. They finally kissed. Once they broke it, Jeff let out a sigh.
" It's real alright." Patricia laughed. Jeff smirked and shrugged. " Just being. Well honest I guess. It the same way I want you to be with me."
" Then I'll be honest. Like, blond really isn't working for you right now, I think you need some hair dye, like purple?" Patricia suggested.
" I love the way you think."
**********
" I really don't know how he convinced me to do this." Patricia said showing Crystal the red streaks in her hair. Crystal laughed.
" Well, it's not like they look, bad." Crystal said trailing off.
" Then how do they look?" Patricia asked fixing her hair in the mirror. They were in Shannon's and Crystal's room, which was a lot messier then Patricia's and Jeff's room, which, Patricia had just cleaned, and that Jeff was probably messing up now. Amy's and Matt's room was always clean though, sparkling.
" They're fine. It just, I've seen the dress you're wearing, I don't think red streaks match." Crystal said wrinkling up her nose.
" Jeff told me that we're getting another dress. He told me I wasn't going to wear that one. He said that we're gonna buy one later." Patricia explained.
" You better, we have a dinner rehearsal in two days, and then the wedding, oh and Shane's coming." Crystal said smiling.
" Oh no, not Helms."
" Yes Helms, Beth invited him. Shannon and Matt are excited about it, and Jeff will probably be excited too. He's staying in our room.. On the couch of course. I'm just pissed 'cause she has to give the people with no door to the bedroom a roommate. She said we have ' more room'. Bull shit. You and Amy have bigger rooms then me and Shannon!" Crystal pouted, Patricia knew what this was coming too.
" Oh fine! I'll ask Jeff, but there's a chance that he might say no." Patricia said grabbing her bag and heading to the door.
" Just threaten not to help him with, you know what." Crystal said smirking.
" Oh, that's right! I forgot to tell you, me and Jeff are together now!" And Patricia left a dumbfounded Crystal sitting on the couch.
**********
That night Jeff, Matt, and Shannon decided to take the girls dancing (according to Shannon, Crystal had been dropping hints by trying on her dancing dresses "for fun"). All the guys waited by the entrance of the mansion, all dressed in tie less tuxes, waiting for the girls to come down.
" Jeff, Crystal told me the big news." Shannon said smirking.
" Big news?" Jeff was confused because he hadn't told Shannon anything about the plan they had.
" I heard it from Amy, and it's soon too huh? Before mine I heard." Matt said smirking.
" What are you talking about?!" Jeff yelled perplexed.
" You mean you don't even know that you're getting married?" Shannon asked wide eyed.
" I'm not getting married, you guys got it all wrong. Me and Patricia, we're not up to that step yet. Maybe Amy and Crystal told you wrong." Jeff suggested, trying to keep himself from sweating so much.
" Are you saying my wife is wrong?" Shannon said backing Jeff into a corner.
" And are you saying Amy's a liar?" Matt said backing Jeff further into the corner. Now he was against the wall.
" No! I meant that, maybe they were confused."
" Oh, so now she's dumb?" Shannon asked angry.
" I swear you say one more thing."
" AHEM!" Matt was interrupted by Crystal, Amy, and Trish. Each of them had flowers in their hair to match their dress. Crystal had a pink and white one, Amy had yellow and white , and Trish had red that also matched her hair. Each guy took a girls hand and lead them outside.
" Jeff, why were you backed into a corner?" Patricia whispered.
" Long story."
**********
Crystal sat at the table bored while everyone else was dancing. She wanted to Dance, but all Shannon wanted to do was sit there and eat. She sighed heavily, and Shannon looked up. Crystal was watching people dance. Shannon began to eat again. Crystal looked at him and pouted. She then sighed heavier, and looked at the dancers with more passion. Shannon looked up.
" Good dancers aren't they? I heard Patricia used to take dance when she was little. Don't you just love the way she glides across the floor? And Amy, well she dances the same way she fights, with elegance and beauty." Shannon looked at Crystal who now was glaring at Shannon, and if looks could kill, Shannon would be mutilated. " Not that you're not beautiful! You're amazing, and I'm sure you a decent dancer." That's where he messed up. Crystal sat up in rage.
" Decent?! Just decent?! I'll show you decent!" Crystal took a pitcher of water and dumped it on his head. Crystal then stormed out of the restaurant.
**********
It was 1:45 in the morning. There was a knock at Jeff's door. Patricia rolled over and covered her ears, Jeff curled up into a ball.
" Jeff go get the door please?" Patricia said rolling up in the covers. Jeff groaned but obeyed. He opened the door.
" Crystal kicked me out." Shannon whined.
" Mm hm, goodnight." Jeff was about to close the door, when Shannon stopped him.
" She's a vicious girl when she gets mad you know." Shannon commented.
" Yeah ok, I don't care good night! Me and my girlfriend are trying to sleep; she will become vicious if you don't let her sleep." Jeff tried to push the door close, but since he was tired, Shannon was stronger.
" Aw, come on. I need somewhere to sleep!" Shannon complained.
" Yeah, try Matt." Jeff said angrily.
" He and Amy were yelling, that's why I came here!" Shannon whined. This was getting annoying.
" Fine! Sleep in the living room." Jeff said letting Shannon in. Shannon smiled.
" Thanks, you're a great guy Jeff," Shannon said.
" Yeah, I'd like to get that in writing." Jeff said smirking. " Goodnight Shannon."
" G'night Jeff." Jeff climbed back into bed with Patricia.
" Who was that?" She groaned.
" Shannon, wife problems. He's staying over here tonight." Jeff didn't quite get into bed, when Patricia jumped up.
" He's what?" Patricia yelled. Then there was another knock.
" Hold that thought, probably Crystal to take him back." Jeff went to the door and opened it to his surprise a mumbling Matt Hardy came in bearing a pillow and a cover. " Hi Matt nice to see you." Jeff said to himself.
" I'm sleeping here tonight." Matt said and he plopped down on the couch and turned on the TV.
" Fine whatever." Jeff went back into the room with Patricia.
" He's gone?" She asked.
" No Matt's here." Jeff said lying down. Patricia glared at Jeff and jumped on top of him. Patricia took off her shirt. " Oh come on Patricia we can't do this while they're here! Come on, it's my best friend and my brother!" Patricia got off of him. She took the pillow out from under him and went to the closet and grabbed a cover.
" Well If I can't have any satisfaction, then you'll be sleeping out there with all of them." Trish went into the living room and threw the pillow and the cover out there. She went back in the room and dragged Jeff out. She then closed the door behind her and locked it.
**********
It was about 9:30 in the morning when Jeff and Patricia heard a knock at the door. Patricia was sleeping on top of Jeff who was on the couch. The guys had left already.
" Morning sweetie." Patricia said all bouncy and happy. She was in silk pink pajama pants, and a pink bra from last night. Her hair was in two tight braids. " I'll get the door," Patricia said. She opened the door and saw Shane.
" Patricia!" He said smiling.
" Shane! It's great to see you!" Jeff looked up as Patricia hugged Shane. Then Shane started to feel Patricia up. Jeff leaped up.
" Shane, I didn't know you were coming." Jeff said with a huge fake smile.
" Oh! Jeff!" Shane immediately let go of Trish.
" Yeah we share a room. You know, me and Trish." Jeff said almost glaring at Shane.
" Alright, so I'll sleep wherever you want me too." Shane said smiling at Trish. Jeff knew what that really meant. It meant ' I'll sleep wherever Trish is.'
" Well, come in Shane!" Patricia said welcoming him in. Shane came in with a suitcase. Trish and Shane sat on the couch while Jeff sat in a chair eyeing him.
" Well, well. When did you get these?" Shane asked referring to the red streaks in Patricia's hair. Patricia blushed pink.
" Me and Jeff got our haired dyed. See his is purple." Patricia said pointing and looking at Jeff.
" Wow nice." Shane said uninterested in Jeff.
" Well, I gotta go take a shower and get dressed, so you guys talk and stuff and stop acting like you don't know each other." Trish skipped off to the bathroom.
" Damn! Trish is one hot chick!" Shane said sitting back.
" Yeah, I've noticed." Jeff said lifting an eyebrow at Shane.
" I'd love to have a piece of."
" LOOK!" Jeff yelled jumping up in his chair. " Trish is taken! She doesn't want you! Trish has a boyfriend and that's me! Jeffrey Nero Hardy! And if Trish is gonna be with anyone, it's gonna be me!"
" Dude, I was talking about that cake that's on the table. I not going for Trish, I always do that stuff and she knows I do, hey I'm a married man with a kid on the way. I do not think my wife Candace would be happy if I started a fling with Trish. I'm allowed to admit that she's hot right?" Shane asked. Jeff just had his mouth open. He then started banging his head against the wall. How could he forget! He was one of Shane's best men!
" I'm uh, sorry." Jeff said blushing. Jeff's hair was in his face, at an attempt to hide it, but he couldn't. Shane burst out laughing. Then Trish came in. She was wearing a red sheer shirt, and under that a white halter dress. She had on white sneakers and her hair was pulled back by a red headband.
" Shane, where's Candace?" Trish asked sitting on Jeff's lap.
" She went to go say hi to Crystal and Shannon." Shane said smiling. " She'll be over later."
" Well, me and Jeff have to go out and look for something, so when she comes, tell her me and Jeff will be back later." Patricia stood up and Jeff did the same. He went into his room threw on a t-shirt and a pair of jeans. He and Trish left. They then drove over to a dress shop. Trish walked in and started to look at a dress that she wore at the one she wore at the Raw awards, except it was long and white.
" You want this one?" Jeff asked. Trish smiled.
" Maybe."
" Excuse me? May I help you?" She said in a disgusted voice.
" Yeah, were lookin' for a dress. We're going to a wedding so she needed a dress." Jeff explained. The woman rolled her eyes.
" Well may I direct you to something that may cost a little less then this?" The woman asked. Trish and Jeff shrugged and followed the woman. The woman then pulled out a peach colored dress that had a white lining at the bottom. It looked kind of plain.
" Uh, no. We're looking for something a little bit more classy." Trish commented.
" Well I don't think there's anything classy enough for you to afford." The lady said in her snottiest voice. Trish's mouth dropped.
" Excuse me, but why can't we meet the expense of something that look better then this trash?" Trish asked.
" If you can't afford anything pleasant to wear outside, how are you able to afford something like that dress you were looking out. You should get something to match your fashion. Trash!" The lady said smiling quite swollen with pride. Trish then jumped at her Jeff pulled her back as Trish tried to harass her.
" Let me at her Jeff! Let go of me! I'll show her!" Trish was screaming.
" I'm sorry but if you can't treat us like you should treat a customer, then we'll leave." Jeff said still holding Trish back. Once they were out of the store, Trish started yelling obscenities.
" I can't believe her!" Trish yelled.
" Jesus Trish! You just attacked a woman!" Jeff yelled as he started the car.
" Did you hear what she said to me!" Trish yelled.
" And so what? Now, we'll just have to find somewhere else." Jeff said disappointed. They ended up getting a nice white sleeveless dress that came with gloves. Trish and Jeff went back to the mansion, and by that time, the rehearsal was finished.
" Where were you guys?" Shannon asked.
" We looked for a dress, sorry we're late." Jeff said shrugging.
" Well, you're sitting next to me and Crystal in the front row. The exact order, is Mr. and Mrs. Britt, then Donna Britt Sanders and Joel Sanders, then Anna Britt, then you and Trish, and then Me and Cris." Shannon said.
" Anyway, me and Shannon are going to lunch now, wanna come?" Crystal asked. It seemed like her and Shannon must've made up.
" Sure."
**********
The next night, was the dinner rehearsal. Trish put on a nice dark blue halter velvet dress that went down to the floor, the back was out, and it went all the way down to her lower back, right before her bum. Jeff put on a suit. Trish had convinced him to wear a tie that she had borrowed from Mr. Britt. Jeff was not comfortable in a tie, but he wore it to please Trish. He put his hair in a ponytail and had brushed it so it was neat. Trish had put her hair in a bun with hair framing each side of her face. When Trish had walked out the bedroom, Jeff was in complete awe. He went over to her and held her, His hands caressing her bare back.
" You look beautiful tonight. I can't even imagine how you'll look." Jeff just stopped and kissed her head. Patricia looked up at him confused.
" How I'll look when?" She asked quietly. Jeff smiled.
" It's nothing. Let just go down stairs, if we stay any longer we'll be late." Trish nodded and followed Jeff downstairs. They went to the dining room where everyone was already being seated. Beth came over to Jeff and took his hand. Jeff grabbed Patricia's hand, and held her close. Beth quickly took her hand away from Jeff's, embarrassed.
" You guys are sitting here. Next to Shannon and Crystal and my parents." Beth said smiling sweetly. Trish forced a phony smile and Jeff just nodded with a smirk. They sat down.
" Oh look Joseph! It's Gilbert Hardy's son!" A woman with long brown hair said. She looked like she was in her mid 50's. A man who had gray neat hair leaned over and looked.
" Yes, and isn't that the girl who asked if she could borrow a tie? Yes Ellen I think that is!" the man said extending his arm towards Jeff. Jeff shook his hand.
" Why it's been so long Jeff! Is this your wife?" Ellen asked.
" Oh, no this is my girlfriend Patricia Stratus." Jeff said smiling.
" Where did you meet this woman?" Joseph asked examine Trish's beautiful face and body.
" We've actually been friends for a long time. She works with me." Jeff explained.
"Really?! Wow a woman wrestling? Amazing! isn't it hard?" Ellen asked.
" Yes it is hard, but I exercise daily, and keep healthy. I also train a lot when I'm at home in Toronto." Trish said smiling.
" Impressive." Joseph said admiring Patricia's skills.
" Thank you sir." Patricia said blushing. Jeff smiled and kissed Patricia on her forehead. Then Beth walked over and sat in between her mother and Eric. She then started kissing Eric while dinner was being served. Jeff looked over and smiled. He was glad Beth was very happy. It was the best thing that could happen to her and him. They were both happy and separate.
"Hey Jeff, what cha lookin' at Beth and Eric for?" Shannon asked. Jeff jumped.
"I was just thinking about how happy I was for them. Their happy and together, I am happy and with Trish. Everything's worked out well." Jeff said smiling. Patricia then got up.
"Um, Jeff? I'm going to go to the bathroom for a sec, ok?" Patricia said smiling. Jeff nodded. After Patricia left Beth immediately got up and headed straight for Patricia. Patricia was in the bathroom when Beth opened the door angrily.
"What the fuck do you think your doing Trish?" Beth asked pushing her against the wall.
"Fixing my make up what the fuck do you think your doing?" Patricia said pushing her harder.
" You really think Jeff likes you, don't you?" Beth said pretending to be surprised and a bit sad. Patricia turned.
" I know Jeff likes me." Patricia replied with her hands on her hips. Beth laughed and sat on a stool that was in the bathroom.
" Do you even know why I broke up Jeff? Hm?" Beth asked.
" Because you wanted top use him, or because you wanted to play with his mind." Beth laughed at Patricia's answer.
" Not even close. I loved Jeff with all my heart, but he worked too much, I never saw him anymore. I know he did it because he wanted to make a living, but when he got home, I always tried to satisfy him, but he never wanted it. It was your fault he didn't want me anymore." Beth said as her eyes began to tear.
" How was it my fault? Me and Jeff were just friends. He wouldn't do anything around work but talk about his girlfriend and how great and wonderful she was. Now that I think about it you seem nothing like her." Trish sat in a stool across from her.
" So you weren't having sex with Jeff?" Beth asked.
" No way! Back then, if anyone considered me and Jeff a couple, that would be the most disgusting thing ever." Patricia and Beth laughed. " I know where this is going. You thought Jeff was cheating on you didn't you?"
" There wouldn't be any other explanation." Beth said sadly.
" Listen baby, Jeff was going through some hard times. He was loosing interest in everything. It's not your fault. No one knows what was wrong with Jeff. Hell, not even Matt and Shannon knew. Even I didn't know, and I was almost sure that Jeff told me almost everything. Jeff wouldn't cheat on anyone. He isn't that kind of guy." Patricia said smiling. Beth smiled back.
" Yeah, but aren't you worried?" Beth asked, " You even said yourself once, he's changed," Beth said.
" That doesn't mean Jeff's gonna cheat on me." Patricia said getting serious now.
" I know, but if he's changed so much, wouldn't that mean he's not afraid to cheat on you?" Beth said turning away from Patricia so she could smile. " I mean Jeff is such a daring man, and all men are needy." Patricia walked over to Beth.
" You lying Bitch." Patricia said standing over her. " You tried to make me feel sorry for you, and I know I see right through you. Everyone might think your some kind of angel, and that you wouldn't hurt a fly, but you wanna keep Jeff to yourself don't you?" Beth stood up and smirked.
" And so what if I do? Jeff is rightfully mine." Patricia fumed. She could hold it in no longer. Before she knew it, she had slapped Beth down to the ground.
" You make me sick Beth." Patricia walked out of the bathroom. She walked right pass the dining room and out of the house. She hadn't noticed that Shannon had been chasing after her.
" Patricia slow down!" Patricia kept running until she fell and stared puking. Shannon sat right beside her. She was crying her eyes out. Shannon held her as if she was Crystal or his own daughter. " Calm down Trish, please. Tell me what happened."
" I hate her! I wish she'd fucking die!" Trish screamed as Shannon held her tight. His grip was so strong and he wasn't gonna let her go.
" Trish it's ok, just talk to me." Shannon said calmly.
" Do you think that Jeff would ever cheat on me?" Patricia asked. Shannon looked at her. He couldn't give her an answer. He didn't know what was going on in Jeff's crazy head. Instead he kissed her cheek.
" No, I don't. You're a beautiful woman Patricia, anyone who would cheat on you would be crazy." Shannon said laughing. He wiped her mouth with a tissue. They looked crazy just sitting there on the grass hold each other. Luckily it was late night so not many people were out there.
" Shannon." Patricia said quietly.
" Yes?" Shannon asked looking into her eyes.
" Thank you, for everything." Shannon smiled, and then they kissed each other. It wasn't right at all. He was a married man, she was in a serious relationship with Jeff, but it felt so good. It made her happy. This felt more real then any kiss that she had ever had, but no matter how good it felt, it needed to be broken, and it needed to be broken right now.
" I'm sorry." Shannon whispered. Patricia had started crying again. She was a cry baby, crying about the littlest things. Things that didn't matter.
" It's my fault Shannon, not yours." Shannon helped Patricia up. He held her close so she was warm. She felt comfortable in Shannon's arms. She laid her head on his shoulder.
" This is all too wrong." Shannon muttered. Patricia looked up at him.
" What's wrong?" Patricia asked.
" Everything! Me and you, you and Jeff, me and Crystal! It's all wrong! What if I was never supposed to be with Crystal? What if I was supposed to be with you, or someone else?" Patricia hugged Shannon.
" Stay with Crystal. She needs you." Patricia said tears still dripping from her pink face.
" I know she does. Do I need her, or do I need you?" Shannon asked. Patricia smiled.
" You need the both of us. Me as a friend, and Crystal as your loving wife." Patricia kissed his nose and giggled. " Remember that Moore."
" Yes Ma' am!"
**********
Patricia had come back in with Shannon once she was calmed down. The second he got inside he swung Crystal around and kissed her with different lips, not the lips that he kissed Patricia with they were different now. Patricia looked around something was missing.
" Matt, where's Jeff?" Patricia asked.
" With Beth in your room I think. Jeff had a little to drink and he didn't look all there, you should check on them," Matt said. Patricia ran upstairs, Shannon, Crystal, Amy, and Matt followed her. She took out her key, she dropped it twice before she could finally get it inside the door. She opened it and froze immediately. Her eyes burned with anger at both Beth and Jeff. She didn't want to believe what she was seeing.
" Jeff, Beth, in that bed, doing that, why?" Patricia then fainted. She couldn't believe that the first person she truly fell in love with, did that to her, but was she any better? She made out with his best friend, who was married. So who was to blame?

~ Jeffrey Nero Hardy
" Jeff what are you talking about?" Patricia was so confused now. He had just told her He didn't want Beth? Was he sick?
" I don't want Beth! I want you! Can't you see? Why are you so blind! Why do you think I want Beth by now? Tell me Patricia have you not noticed anything?" Jeff asked.
" I did, but I assumed."
" There was nothing to assume," Jeff said cutting her off. " It was simple! I had no interest in Beth anymore! It was you who I wanted to be with! You!"
" Jeff stop yelling!" Patricia said putting her hands over her ears.
" I know you don't want to hear this but it's true!" Jeff took her hands and held them at her sides so she could hear " I LOVE YOU! I'll scream it out to the world if I have too! I DON'T LOVE BETH BRITT ANYMORE! I LOVE PATRICIA STRATUS!" People were now staring at the two. Some of the people recognized them and just had their mouth hanging open.
" Jeff you're making a scene." Patricia said trying to quiet him down and taking her hands away from his.
" If I have to marry you to have your heart I will." Jeff said getting on one knee.
" Get up Jeff! Get up!" Patricia said as people looked on.
" Marry me! Love me forever!" Jeff begged. He didn't seem to care anymore. He was loosing it!
" I can't be with you Jeff! I'm the one that puts you with other people!" Patricia yelled.
" Patricia, do you love me?"
" I can't answer that." She said quietly.
" DO YOU LOVE ME?" He yelled.
" I don't know!" She screamed. She then ran away, not wanting to see anyone, except for one person.
**********
" Hey, I don't even know why you'd ask me in the first place!" Shannon said putting a chocolate kiss in his mouth.
" I just thought you'd know why he acted the way he did," Patricia said. " Since you've known him for a long time."
" There are some things about Jeff that even Matt doesn't really know about. He's a whole mystery to all of us, but if there's someone you need to talk to, it would be Jeff himself, or maybe even Matt. Talking to Jeff will probably be awkward, and Matt would threaten you not to break his heart like Beth did. I know Jeff's gotten his heart broken more then me and Matt has, he's also fallen in love more then we have. Think of it though, Matt's had always been obsessed with wrestling, and hadn't fallen in love until Amy whose shared his passion. Now he's pretty much set for awhile. I've had Crystal practically all my life! I've had her since I really started having crushes on girls, and even before I've started having serious crushes. Jeff, now Jeff's different. He's not obsessed with wrestling, he hadn't had someone his whole life, and Beth got away. I think you're perfect for Jeff! I'm not gonna say you aren't, but Jeff's not gonna hide his feelings, because he doesn't want you to hide yours." Patricia hugged Shannon.
" Thank Shannon. You really helped." She said letting go of him.
" No problem!" He said smiling. Patricia left his room. Jeff would be in their room by now, or looking for her. So she decided to sit in the greenhouse. The flowers there were so beautiful. She loved how they look. It made her think. Maybe she should give Jeff a second chance. Maybe he would be good for her. She always said she wanted someone to love.
" It's gonna be so hard to tell Jeff how I feel, but how is he gonna know?"
" Maybe you should just tell me." Patricia turned and jumped. Jeff was sitting on the other side of the bench with a few daisies in his hands. He was picking petals off of them. He then took one that was pretty and reached over to Patricia and put in her hair.
" Jeff, I don't know about this. We've been friends, but if we have a break up, like you did with Beth, it's gonna ruin our friendship. I know that because you can't even look Beth straight in the eye without regret. I don't know if we should try, but if we do, at the end of it all, I want us to stay friends." Patricia said with a pleading look in her eye.
" If that's what you want, I promise." Jeff smiled. Patricia smiled back.
" So it's us now." Patricia said looking up.
" You wanna kiss to make sure it's real?" Jeff said looking down.
" I'll do it if you want to." Patricia said looking at him. They moved closer together. Brining their lips close. They finally kissed. Once they broke it, Jeff let out a sigh.
" It's real alright." Patricia laughed. Jeff smirked and shrugged. " Just being. Well honest I guess. It the same way I want you to be with me."
" Then I'll be honest. Like, blond really isn't working for you right now, I think you need some hair dye, like purple?" Patricia suggested.
" I love the way you think."

" I really don't know how he convinced me to do this." Patricia said showing Crystal the red streaks in her hair. Crystal laughed.
" Well, it's not like they look, bad." Crystal said trailing off.
" Then how do they look?" Patricia asked fixing her hair in the mirror. They were in Shannon's and Crystal's room, which was a lot messier then Patricia's and Jeff's room, which, Patricia had just cleaned, and that Jeff was probably messing up now. Amy's and Matt's room was always clean though, sparkling.
" They're fine. It just, I've seen the dress you're wearing, I don't think red streaks match." Crystal said wrinkling up her nose.
" Jeff told me that we're getting another dress. He told me I wasn't going to wear that one. He said that we're gonna buy one later." Patricia explained.
" You better, we have a dinner rehearsal in two days, and then the wedding, oh and Shane's coming." Crystal said smiling.
" Oh no, not Helms."
" Yes Helms, Beth invited him. Shannon and Matt are excited about it, and Jeff will probably be excited too. He's staying in our room.. On the couch of course. I'm just pissed 'cause she has to give the people with no door to the bedroom a roommate. She said we have ' more room'. Bull shit. You and Amy have bigger rooms then me and Shannon!" Crystal pouted, Patricia knew what this was coming too.
" Oh fine! I'll ask Jeff, but there's a chance that he might say no." Patricia said grabbing her bag and heading to the door.
" Just threaten not to help him with, you know what." Crystal said smirking.
" Oh, that's right! I forgot to tell you, me and Jeff are together now!" And Patricia left a dumbfounded Crystal sitting on the couch.
**********
That night Jeff, Matt, and Shannon decided to take the girls dancing (according to Shannon, Crystal had been dropping hints by trying on her dancing dresses "for fun"). All the guys waited by the entrance of the mansion, all dressed in tie less tuxes, waiting for the girls to come down.
" Jeff, Crystal told me the big news." Shannon said smirking.
" Big news?" Jeff was confused because he hadn't told Shannon anything about the plan they had.
" I heard it from Amy, and it's soon too huh? Before mine I heard." Matt said smirking.
" What are you talking about?!" Jeff yelled perplexed.
" You mean you don't even know that you're getting married?" Shannon asked wide eyed.
" I'm not getting married, you guys got it all wrong. Me and Patricia, we're not up to that step yet. Maybe Amy and Crystal told you wrong." Jeff suggested, trying to keep himself from sweating so much.
" Are you saying my wife is wrong?" Shannon said backing Jeff into a corner.
" And are you saying Amy's a liar?" Matt said backing Jeff further into the corner. Now he was against the wall.
" No! I meant that, maybe they were confused."
" Oh, so now she's dumb?" Shannon asked angry.
" I swear you say one more thing."
" AHEM!" Matt was interrupted by Crystal, Amy, and Trish. Each of them had flowers in their hair to match their dress. Crystal had a pink and white one, Amy had yellow and white , and Trish had red that also matched her hair. Each guy took a girls hand and lead them outside.
" Jeff, why were you backed into a corner?" Patricia whispered.
" Long story."
**********
Crystal sat at the table bored while everyone else was dancing. She wanted to Dance, but all Shannon wanted to do was sit there and eat. She sighed heavily, and Shannon looked up. Crystal was watching people dance. Shannon began to eat again. Crystal looked at him and pouted. She then sighed heavier, and looked at the dancers with more passion. Shannon looked up.
" Good dancers aren't they? I heard Patricia used to take dance when she was little. Don't you just love the way she glides across the floor? And Amy, well she dances the same way she fights, with elegance and beauty." Shannon looked at Crystal who now was glaring at Shannon, and if looks could kill, Shannon would be mutilated. " Not that you're not beautiful! You're amazing, and I'm sure you a decent dancer." That's where he messed up. Crystal sat up in rage.
" Decent?! Just decent?! I'll show you decent!" Crystal took a pitcher of water and dumped it on his head. Crystal then stormed out of the restaurant.
**********
It was 1:45 in the morning. There was a knock at Jeff's door. Patricia rolled over and covered her ears, Jeff curled up into a ball.
" Jeff go get the door please?" Patricia said rolling up in the covers. Jeff groaned but obeyed. He opened the door.
" Crystal kicked me out." Shannon whined.
" Mm hm, goodnight." Jeff was about to close the door, when Shannon stopped him.
" She's a vicious girl when she gets mad you know." Shannon commented.
" Yeah ok, I don't care good night! Me and my girlfriend are trying to sleep; she will become vicious if you don't let her sleep." Jeff tried to push the door close, but since he was tired, Shannon was stronger.
" Aw, come on. I need somewhere to sleep!" Shannon complained.
" Yeah, try Matt." Jeff said angrily.
" He and Amy were yelling, that's why I came here!" Shannon whined. This was getting annoying.
" Fine! Sleep in the living room." Jeff said letting Shannon in. Shannon smiled.
" Thanks, you're a great guy Jeff," Shannon said.
" Yeah, I'd like to get that in writing." Jeff said smirking. " Goodnight Shannon."
" G'night Jeff." Jeff climbed back into bed with Patricia.
" Who was that?" She groaned.
" Shannon, wife problems. He's staying over here tonight." Jeff didn't quite get into bed, when Patricia jumped up.
" He's what?" Patricia yelled. Then there was another knock.
" Hold that thought, probably Crystal to take him back." Jeff went to the door and opened it to his surprise a mumbling Matt Hardy came in bearing a pillow and a cover. " Hi Matt nice to see you." Jeff said to himself.
" I'm sleeping here tonight." Matt said and he plopped down on the couch and turned on the TV.
" Fine whatever." Jeff went back into the room with Patricia.
" He's gone?" She asked.
" No Matt's here." Jeff said lying down. Patricia glared at Jeff and jumped on top of him. Patricia took off her shirt. " Oh come on Patricia we can't do this while they're here! Come on, it's my best friend and my brother!" Patricia got off of him. She took the pillow out from under him and went to the closet and grabbed a cover.
" Well If I can't have any satisfaction, then you'll be sleeping out there with all of them." Trish went into the living room and threw the pillow and the cover out there. She went back in the room and dragged Jeff out. She then closed the door behind her and locked it.
**********
It was about 9:30 in the morning when Jeff and Patricia heard a knock at the door. Patricia was sleeping on top of Jeff who was on the couch. The guys had left already.
" Morning sweetie." Patricia said all bouncy and happy. She was in silk pink pajama pants, and a pink bra from last night. Her hair was in two tight braids. " I'll get the door," Patricia said. She opened the door and saw Shane.
" Patricia!" He said smiling.
" Shane! It's great to see you!" Jeff looked up as Patricia hugged Shane. Then Shane started to feel Patricia up. Jeff leaped up.
" Shane, I didn't know you were coming." Jeff said with a huge fake smile.
" Oh! Jeff!" Shane immediately let go of Trish.
" Yeah we share a room. You know, me and Trish." Jeff said almost glaring at Shane.
" Alright, so I'll sleep wherever you want me too." Shane said smiling at Trish. Jeff knew what that really meant. It meant ' I'll sleep wherever Trish is.'
" Well, come in Shane!" Patricia said welcoming him in. Shane came in with a suitcase. Trish and Shane sat on the couch while Jeff sat in a chair eyeing him.
" Well, well. When did you get these?" Shane asked referring to the red streaks in Patricia's hair. Patricia blushed pink.
" Me and Jeff got our haired dyed. See his is purple." Patricia said pointing and looking at Jeff.
" Wow nice." Shane said uninterested in Jeff.
" Well, I gotta go take a shower and get dressed, so you guys talk and stuff and stop acting like you don't know each other." Trish skipped off to the bathroom.
" Damn! Trish is one hot chick!" Shane said sitting back.
" Yeah, I've noticed." Jeff said lifting an eyebrow at Shane.
" I'd love to have a piece of."
" LOOK!" Jeff yelled jumping up in his chair. " Trish is taken! She doesn't want you! Trish has a boyfriend and that's me! Jeffrey Nero Hardy! And if Trish is gonna be with anyone, it's gonna be me!"
" Dude, I was talking about that cake that's on the table. I not going for Trish, I always do that stuff and she knows I do, hey I'm a married man with a kid on the way. I do not think my wife Candace would be happy if I started a fling with Trish. I'm allowed to admit that she's hot right?" Shane asked. Jeff just had his mouth open. He then started banging his head against the wall. How could he forget! He was one of Shane's best men!
" I'm uh, sorry." Jeff said blushing. Jeff's hair was in his face, at an attempt to hide it, but he couldn't. Shane burst out laughing. Then Trish came in. She was wearing a red sheer shirt, and under that a white halter dress. She had on white sneakers and her hair was pulled back by a red headband.
" Shane, where's Candace?" Trish asked sitting on Jeff's lap.
" She went to go say hi to Crystal and Shannon." Shane said smiling. " She'll be over later."
" Well, me and Jeff have to go out and look for something, so when she comes, tell her me and Jeff will be back later." Patricia stood up and Jeff did the same. He went into his room threw on a t-shirt and a pair of jeans. He and Trish left. They then drove over to a dress shop. Trish walked in and started to look at a dress that she wore at the one she wore at the Raw awards, except it was long and white.
" You want this one?" Jeff asked. Trish smiled.
" Maybe."
" Excuse me? May I help you?" She said in a disgusted voice.
" Yeah, were lookin' for a dress. We're going to a wedding so she needed a dress." Jeff explained. The woman rolled her eyes.
" Well may I direct you to something that may cost a little less then this?" The woman asked. Trish and Jeff shrugged and followed the woman. The woman then pulled out a peach colored dress that had a white lining at the bottom. It looked kind of plain.
" Uh, no. We're looking for something a little bit more classy." Trish commented.
" Well I don't think there's anything classy enough for you to afford." The lady said in her snottiest voice. Trish's mouth dropped.
" Excuse me, but why can't we meet the expense of something that look better then this trash?" Trish asked.
" If you can't afford anything pleasant to wear outside, how are you able to afford something like that dress you were looking out. You should get something to match your fashion. Trash!" The lady said smiling quite swollen with pride. Trish then jumped at her Jeff pulled her back as Trish tried to harass her.
" Let me at her Jeff! Let go of me! I'll show her!" Trish was screaming.
" I'm sorry but if you can't treat us like you should treat a customer, then we'll leave." Jeff said still holding Trish back. Once they were out of the store, Trish started yelling obscenities.
" I can't believe her!" Trish yelled.
" Jesus Trish! You just attacked a woman!" Jeff yelled as he started the car.
" Did you hear what she said to me!" Trish yelled.
" And so what? Now, we'll just have to find somewhere else." Jeff said disappointed. They ended up getting a nice white sleeveless dress that came with gloves. Trish and Jeff went back to the mansion, and by that time, the rehearsal was finished.
" Where were you guys?" Shannon asked.
" We looked for a dress, sorry we're late." Jeff said shrugging.
" Well, you're sitting next to me and Crystal in the front row. The exact order, is Mr. and Mrs. Britt, then Donna Britt Sanders and Joel Sanders, then Anna Britt, then you and Trish, and then Me and Cris." Shannon said.
" Anyway, me and Shannon are going to lunch now, wanna come?" Crystal asked. It seemed like her and Shannon must've made up.
" Sure."
**********
The next night, was the dinner rehearsal. Trish put on a nice dark blue halter velvet dress that went down to the floor, the back was out, and it went all the way down to her lower back, right before her bum. Jeff put on a suit. Trish had convinced him to wear a tie that she had borrowed from Mr. Britt. Jeff was not comfortable in a tie, but he wore it to please Trish. He put his hair in a ponytail and had brushed it so it was neat. Trish had put her hair in a bun with hair framing each side of her face. When Trish had walked out the bedroom, Jeff was in complete awe. He went over to her and held her, His hands caressing her bare back.
" You look beautiful tonight. I can't even imagine how you'll look." Jeff just stopped and kissed her head. Patricia looked up at him confused.
" How I'll look when?" She asked quietly. Jeff smiled.
" It's nothing. Let just go down stairs, if we stay any longer we'll be late." Trish nodded and followed Jeff downstairs. They went to the dining room where everyone was already being seated. Beth came over to Jeff and took his hand. Jeff grabbed Patricia's hand, and held her close. Beth quickly took her hand away from Jeff's, embarrassed.
" You guys are sitting here. Next to Shannon and Crystal and my parents." Beth said smiling sweetly. Trish forced a phony smile and Jeff just nodded with a smirk. They sat down.
" Oh look Joseph! It's Gilbert Hardy's son!" A woman with long brown hair said. She looked like she was in her mid 50's. A man who had gray neat hair leaned over and looked.
" Yes, and isn't that the girl who asked if she could borrow a tie? Yes Ellen I think that is!" the man said extending his arm towards Jeff. Jeff shook his hand.
" Why it's been so long Jeff! Is this your wife?" Ellen asked.
" Oh, no this is my girlfriend Patricia Stratus." Jeff said smiling.
" Where did you meet this woman?" Joseph asked examine Trish's beautiful face and body.
" We've actually been friends for a long time. She works with me." Jeff explained.
"Really?! Wow a woman wrestling? Amazing! isn't it hard?" Ellen asked.
" Yes it is hard, but I exercise daily, and keep healthy. I also train a lot when I'm at home in Toronto." Trish said smiling.
" Impressive." Joseph said admiring Patricia's skills.
" Thank you sir." Patricia said blushing. Jeff smiled and kissed Patricia on her forehead. Then Beth walked over and sat in between her mother and Eric. She then started kissing Eric while dinner was being served. Jeff looked over and smiled. He was glad Beth was very happy. It was the best thing that could happen to her and him. They were both happy and separate.
"Hey Jeff, what cha lookin' at Beth and Eric for?" Shannon asked. Jeff jumped.
"I was just thinking about how happy I was for them. Their happy and together, I am happy and with Trish. Everything's worked out well." Jeff said smiling. Patricia then got up.
"Um, Jeff? I'm going to go to the bathroom for a sec, ok?" Patricia said smiling. Jeff nodded. After Patricia left Beth immediately got up and headed straight for Patricia. Patricia was in the bathroom when Beth opened the door angrily.
"What the fuck do you think your doing Trish?" Beth asked pushing her against the wall.
"Fixing my make up what the fuck do you think your doing?" Patricia said pushing her harder.
" You really think Jeff likes you, don't you?" Beth said pretending to be surprised and a bit sad. Patricia turned.
" I know Jeff likes me." Patricia replied with her hands on her hips. Beth laughed and sat on a stool that was in the bathroom.
" Do you even know why I broke up Jeff? Hm?" Beth asked.
" Because you wanted top use him, or because you wanted to play with his mind." Beth laughed at Patricia's answer.
" Not even close. I loved Jeff with all my heart, but he worked too much, I never saw him anymore. I know he did it because he wanted to make a living, but when he got home, I always tried to satisfy him, but he never wanted it. It was your fault he didn't want me anymore." Beth said as her eyes began to tear.
" How was it my fault? Me and Jeff were just friends. He wouldn't do anything around work but talk about his girlfriend and how great and wonderful she was. Now that I think about it you seem nothing like her." Trish sat in a stool across from her.
" So you weren't having sex with Jeff?" Beth asked.
" No way! Back then, if anyone considered me and Jeff a couple, that would be the most disgusting thing ever." Patricia and Beth laughed. " I know where this is going. You thought Jeff was cheating on you didn't you?"
" There wouldn't be any other explanation." Beth said sadly.
" Listen baby, Jeff was going through some hard times. He was loosing interest in everything. It's not your fault. No one knows what was wrong with Jeff. Hell, not even Matt and Shannon knew. Even I didn't know, and I was almost sure that Jeff told me almost everything. Jeff wouldn't cheat on anyone. He isn't that kind of guy." Patricia said smiling. Beth smiled back.
" Yeah, but aren't you worried?" Beth asked, " You even said yourself once, he's changed," Beth said.
" That doesn't mean Jeff's gonna cheat on me." Patricia said getting serious now.
" I know, but if he's changed so much, wouldn't that mean he's not afraid to cheat on you?" Beth said turning away from Patricia so she could smile. " I mean Jeff is such a daring man, and all men are needy." Patricia walked over to Beth.
" You lying Bitch." Patricia said standing over her. " You tried to make me feel sorry for you, and I know I see right through you. Everyone might think your some kind of angel, and that you wouldn't hurt a fly, but you wanna keep Jeff to yourself don't you?" Beth stood up and smirked.
" And so what if I do? Jeff is rightfully mine." Patricia fumed. She could hold it in no longer. Before she knew it, she had slapped Beth down to the ground.
" You make me sick Beth." Patricia walked out of the bathroom. She walked right pass the dining room and out of the house. She hadn't noticed that Shannon had been chasing after her.
" Patricia slow down!" Patricia kept running until she fell and stared puking. Shannon sat right beside her. She was crying her eyes out. Shannon held her as if she was Crystal or his own daughter. " Calm down Trish, please. Tell me what happened."
" I hate her! I wish she'd fucking die!" Trish screamed as Shannon held her tight. His grip was so strong and he wasn't gonna let her go.
" Trish it's ok, just talk to me." Shannon said calmly.
" Do you think that Jeff would ever cheat on me?" Patricia asked. Shannon looked at her. He couldn't give her an answer. He didn't know what was going on in Jeff's crazy head. Instead he kissed her cheek.
" No, I don't. You're a beautiful woman Patricia, anyone who would cheat on you would be crazy." Shannon said laughing. He wiped her mouth with a tissue. They looked crazy just sitting there on the grass hold each other. Luckily it was late night so not many people were out there.
" Shannon." Patricia said quietly.
" Yes?" Shannon asked looking into her eyes.
" Thank you, for everything." Shannon smiled, and then they kissed each other. It wasn't right at all. He was a married man, she was in a serious relationship with Jeff, but it felt so good. It made her happy. This felt more real then any kiss that she had ever had, but no matter how good it felt, it needed to be broken, and it needed to be broken right now.
" I'm sorry." Shannon whispered. Patricia had started crying again. She was a cry baby, crying about the littlest things. Things that didn't matter.
" It's my fault Shannon, not yours." Shannon helped Patricia up. He held her close so she was warm. She felt comfortable in Shannon's arms. She laid her head on his shoulder.
" This is all too wrong." Shannon muttered. Patricia looked up at him.
" What's wrong?" Patricia asked.
" Everything! Me and you, you and Jeff, me and Crystal! It's all wrong! What if I was never supposed to be with Crystal? What if I was supposed to be with you, or someone else?" Patricia hugged Shannon.
" Stay with Crystal. She needs you." Patricia said tears still dripping from her pink face.
" I know she does. Do I need her, or do I need you?" Shannon asked. Patricia smiled.
" You need the both of us. Me as a friend, and Crystal as your loving wife." Patricia kissed his nose and giggled. " Remember that Moore."
" Yes Ma' am!"
**********
Patricia had come back in with Shannon once she was calmed down. The second he got inside he swung Crystal around and kissed her with different lips, not the lips that he kissed Patricia with they were different now. Patricia looked around something was missing.
" Matt, where's Jeff?" Patricia asked.
" With Beth in your room I think. Jeff had a little to drink and he didn't look all there, you should check on them," Matt said. Patricia ran upstairs, Shannon, Crystal, Amy, and Matt followed her. She took out her key, she dropped it twice before she could finally get it inside the door. She opened it and froze immediately. Her eyes burned with anger at both Beth and Jeff. She didn't want to believe what she was seeing.
" Jeff, Beth, in that bed, doing that, why?" Patricia then fainted. She couldn't believe that the first person she truly fell in love with, did that to her, but was she any better? She made out with his best friend, who was married. So who was to blame?
