"Where the hell is Casey?! It's been 3 weeks and she's still a no show!" Vince yelled cornering Shannon in the hall.

"Sir, um, we don't know where she is. She still hasn't gotten in touch with us and neither has Shane. But if any of us hear anything from either of them, we'll be sure to let you know," Shannon replied.

"Tell her that she's fired if she doesn't come back in the next week. I don't care if she's the most popular Diva we've got! She's wasting my money! I will NOT have this happen to me!" Vince growled as the veins in his neck started to pop out. He gave Shannon one last threatening glare and walked away.

"Dude, we SO have to find Case and Shane," Shannon said walking into the men's locker room.

"I keep trying but all I get is Shane's voice mail on his cell phone. They're both gonna lose their jobs if they keep this shit up!" Matt said, throwing his towel down on the bench next to him.

"Yeah, Vince said that he's going to fire her if she's not back in the next week," Shannon said sitting down. "Have you been leaving messages?"

"Oh hell yeah! By the ton load!" Matt laughed. "And no one's still heard anything from them."

"I just want to know where they are, ya know?" Shannon said shaking his head.

"We'd all like to know that little bit of information," Matt said patting his friend on the shoulder before walking into the showers.

"Still no word on Casey or Shane, huh?" Trish asked Amy as they changed for their matches.

"Not at all. They're really starting to worry me," Amy said.

"Didn't you guys find Shane's car in the parking garage in Tennessee?" Nora asked tying up her boots.

"Yeah, but God only knows how long it's been there," Amy sighed.

"I'm sure they'll show up sooner or later," Stacy spoke trying to comfort the girls.

"Hopefully sooner rather than later," Trish nodded at them all.

***********

"Shane, I'm so glad we saved Paris for last," I smiled as we gazed up at the Eiffel Tower.

"Yeah, it's absolutely breath taking here, huh?" Shane replied. He sighed and turned to look at her.

"Oh no. I know that sigh and look. What's up?" she asked crossing her arms and tilting her head.

"Case, I have SO many voice messages from Matt, Amy, Shannon, and even Jeff. Don't you think we should call one of them to let them know we're alright?" Shane asked.

"Shane, we've been through this!" I exclaimed throwing my arms down at my side as I started to walk away.

"Casey, please, I think we should! I mean, we're goin back this weekend," Shane said grabbing my arm pulling me back to him.

"Watch the tattoo, it's still sore dumbass," I groaned referring to the new tattoo on my left bicep of a crescent moon with a shooting star going around my arm.

"Sorry, I forgot. I forgot that you were stupid and decided to get ANOTHER tattoo!!" he laughed.

"And don't forget about my eyebrow bein pierced," I reminded him. He rolled his eyes at me and wrapped his arm around me.

"Scared about goin back?" Shane asked as we started our walk back to the hotel.

"Um, about us goin back this weekend," I said softly biting my lip.

"What about it?" he asked stopping us on the sidewalk.

"I'm not," I replied looking up into his dark brown eyes.

"Casey, I'm not leaving you to roam the streets alone!" he exclaimed.

"Shane, I don't have anything to go back to!" I exclaimed running after him as he crossed the street.

"Honey, you have to come back with me," he pleaded. "I don't want to have to worry about you."

"Where am I supposed to live?! I've been kicked out of everyplace I called home!" I said.

"Come live with me," he smiled.

"No, I don't want to do that," I replied.

"Why not?"

"I don't want you to get the wrong idea about us."

"Angel, for the past month we've been sleeping in the same hotel room and in the same bed in some places. How would I get the wrong idea about us if we're living together and not when we're together like this?"

"I don't know. Maybe it's time I got my own place. Like an apartment," I said throwing myself on the bed in the hotel room.

"Maybe. But until you get one, you can come live with me," he smiled throwing clothes at me to sleep in. "I'll see you in the morning, babe." He kissed my forehead before slipping into the bed fully clothed. I shook my head at him and changed before slipping into my own bed.

Sometime during the middle of the nite, Shane had gotten up and grabbed his cell phone. He walked out onto the balcony and called Matt.

"Hello?" Matt asked with a yawn. He'd been answering any phone call just in case it was Shane or I, and in this case, he got Shane.

"Matt?" Shane asked cautiously.

"SHANE?!" Matt exclaimed sitting straight up in bed and turning the light on. Amy leaned over Matt's shoulder, trying to hear every single word being said. "Where the fuck are you?! Is Casey there?! Are you alright? Are you coming home?!"

"Matt, calm down. Casey and I are both fine. We've been traveling the world. Doing all the shit we've wanted to do, but never had the time to do it. It's been an amazing experience, man," Shane replied.

"Where are you two?!"

"I'm not going to tell you anything else. Not our location and not when or even if we're coming home. Because at this moment in time, that's still up in the air. Casey just needed to get away and I couldn't let her runaway by herself. She needed to know that there was someone that hadn't turned their back on her like ya'll did," Shane said.

"Shane, you have to look at this from our position. What else were we supposed to do? Forgive and forget?! I couldn't do that. She cheated on my little brother with my best friend. Man, how would you have reacted if in our shoes?"

"I know it was hard to take in. But you have to look at things from her perspective as well. We don't even remember what happened. We're really just assuming that IT did happen. She's scared, alone, and just not herself. At least she wasn't when she left. She's slowly becoming herself again. It's taken pretty much this whole time."

"Well, Vince has threatened to fire the both of you. In fact he's refusing to pay you two until you've worked all the time you've missed. You guys have to come back. If you don't, you'll be out of a job."

"Matt, we're fully aware of that. You gotta tell me something. How's Jeff?"

"My brother is devastatingly depressed. From being cheated on and then having the woman of his dreams run out on him. It's amazing he hasn't gone to drastic measures yet," Matt sighed in response. "Casey needs to talk to him. Just so he can hear her voice!"

"Not gonna happen man. She's sure he doesn't want anything to do with her."

"Can you really blame him for that if it were true though?!"

"No, I can totally understand it. I'm just telling you how it is."

"Shane?" I called.

"I gotta go, Casey's up."

"Shane, tell me if you're coming back or not."

"I gotta go. We're safe, that's all you need to know. Bye Matt." Shane hung his phone up and walked into the room.

"What were you doing out there?" I asked covering my mouth mid yawn.

"Just looking at the stars," Shane smiled.

"Is mine out there?"

"Always," Shane replied slipping back into his bed.

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

"Matt, where is she?!" Jeff exclaimed pacing his house.

"I don't know. Bro, trust me, if I knew you would know," Matt replied covering his free ear so that he could hear Jeff better over the phone.

"Ya know, fuck this shit. I'm sick of all of this. I'm done with her. We're through completely. I want nothing to do with her. If she can't have the decency to contact me or anyone of us, than she obviously doesn't love us as much as she claims to," Jeff said with a sick laughter.

"Dude, are you okay?" Matt asked worriedly.

"As okay as I'm going to get considering all the shit I've been through this past month," Jeff replied. "Later brother!"

"JEFF!" Matt yelled hoping he hadn't hung up yet. When all he got was a dial tone he hung up as well and shook his head. "My brother has officially gone loco," Matt spoke to himself as he stared at the phone.

"I'd say it's the other way around, honey," Amy laughed.

"Jeff's given up on Casey," Matt sighed.

"Can you blame him?"

"Not at all. I would have given up the first nite if I was him."

"But you're not."

"Damn straight I'm not. Besides, I wouldn't be able to work the orange and purple hair," Matt joked kissing his pregnant wife's cheek. "When are we going to tell people Ames?"

"I told Vince this morning," Amy smiled. "He was a little upset that I didn't tell him last month. But he's happy for us. He's taking me off the roster and putting me on as some sort of announcer or interviewer."

"Good, then you won't have to leave me," Matt smiled.

"Nope, not until I'm into the pregnancy further."

"So we've still got another 5 months," Matt replied as they walked down the steps of the arena towards the ring.

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

"Shane, I don't think I can do this."

"Casey, we haven't even gotten on the plane yet!" he laughed.

"I know, but I don't think I can do it," I repeated myself.

"You're doing it and that's final!" Shane demanded.

"Why must you treat me like I'm 5?!"

"Why must you act like you're 5?!"

"Are you calling me a child?!"

"Yeah, sounds that way to me!"

"Fuck you Shane," I growled storming past him to take my seat on the plane.

"Works everytime!" Shane smiled as he followed me.

A/N: Sorry for how short this chapter was...........I really had nothing for it, and I'm still REALLY drained from the worst wedding I was ever at. Although Jessy was very upset that I left the reception........I hugged her and she started crying hysterically and wouldn't let me go. As much as this has all pissed me off and as much as I hated being in and at the wedding this weekend, I have to admit that I'm going to miss her like hell. It's gonna be hard to let go of her. She almost made me cry a couple times. And we just laugh about it cause we have that effect on each other. When you have that kind of bond with someone, don't let it go. And don't neglect that person for anything. Because they'll be with you till the end. And I mean look at Jessy and I. Best friends since day one. Sharing crushes, boyfriends (don't ask we were in the first and second grade lol), secrets, FAMILY (we're both a part of each other's family it's kinda scary at times. Her mom even yells at me if I do something stupid! Lol), and just everything else. I can always sense when she's upset, and although she can't always do that with me, I know that she still cares and shit. And it showed this weekend when she was hysterical and didn't want to let me go when I was leaving. She's not even leaving till Feb, and I'm not leaving till like January. So I don't know what she was so upset about. But we've been through so much shit in 14 years, there's no way we could let each other go. Anyways, just don't let that person go for ANYTHING. If you fight about something, let it go. Make up and always remember what you two shared. It'll keep ya'll together for a life time. Anyways, I'm done telling ya'll bout my pathetic life. The next chapter will be much more interesting. Oh, go check out my new story, The Twin. It won't be updated as much as this one probably will be, but I still think it's pretty good. Ya'll know me well enough to know that it's got the Hardyz (major part), Shane Helms (HELLO!! Major duh! Lol), Amy Dumas, Shannon Moore (just cause he's so damn adorable!), Lizzie (yes, making another appearance in a Donna original), and MANY MANY others to come!
