A/n: Hey everyone! Sorry it's been a while since I updated, but hey, that's life! Thanks again to everyone who has reviewed! Keep um' coming! :-)

She was numb by the time she hit the highway. The tears flowed freely down her cheeks, but by now she didn't even notice. She just kept driving. Thank god there weren't many people driving because her vision was too blurry with tears to see anything other than hazy headlights. She wasn't sure how long she'd been driving, but she could careless.

Toronto.

Was where she was headed. North-bound.

Her heart felt cold. She wasn't even sure it felt at all. She new it could, but it had been so long since it felt love, she was beginning to doubt it ever had. Sure, she has a few boyfriends in her day, but they were never serious, and it never amounted to anything, love wise. It always turned into a friendship... maybe that was all she was good for. Maybe she just wasn't cut out for love.

She finally came out of her trance when a car honked at her as she sped through a red light. She didn't realize she'd made it to a city. She decided to pull off the road and find a hotel.

After she slammed the door and checked in, she slowly sulked up to another night in a cold lonely single bed of a hotel room. She stripped off her jeans opting to sleep in a big sweat shit and pink pj pants.

She crawled into bed and turned out the light. All she could do was lie awake, mind racing, even though her body willed her to sleep. What should she do now? Christian had clearly seen through her, he would have to be a retard to have not. Now she would probably be bombarded with questions and have to come up with new answers. Oh well, for now she should really try and sleep.

Her last thoughts were of Jericho... and what he might be doing right now...

"Chris, why is my dad such an ass?" Stephanie pondered aloud as Jericho drove.

"Steph, I really can't answer that... but I swear to god if he..." He voiced started to deepen in anger.

"Chris," She placed her calming hand on his, "Chris don't worry about it. If he tries to pull something, then we'll pull right back."

"Yeah, and then I'd be fired, then what?"

"No, anything he does I can have my mom reverse. She adores you."

"What about you?" He asked, turning the attention off himself, "Don't you want to get your job back?" He knew sitting around the house was killing her.

"You know, as much as I miss it, and it kills me not working, this whole relaxing thing is starting to catch on. I think I just need sometime, to re- evaluate my life and give my father sometime to cool off. Besides, if I get bored, I can just go to shows with you, and then run off and sleep with Hunter!" She ended a serious statement with a joke.

"Oh, I see how it is; you're a slut using me for fringe benefits."

"Yeah, pretty much."

He glanced at her, and she just smirked.

"Goddamn, do I love you!"

"I love you too."

A/n: So what'd ya think? Thought I'd end this chappy off with a little Jericho/Steph!! Please review!
