CHAPTER FOURTEEN:

Still confused, Jeff turned back to Paul and Ric, shaking his head. "You got what you deserved Paul. Forget about what I was talking about. Everything's done. I'm not doing it anymore."

"What the hell do you mean Hardy?" Ric questioned, his eyes going back and forth between Jeff and Paul. "Paul, what's he talking about?"

"Don't worry about it Ric," Paul stated calmly. "Jeff, think about it. Just because part of the plan worked, doesn't mean anything. You have to stick to it… we have to."

"No I don't," Jeff shot back. "We did what we set out to do; we got Nicole and Randy away from each other. Nicole's asleep up in my room and Randy's in his room. Everything worked out, now I'm not going to be a part of this shit anymore. I'm done."

"Hardy…"

"Levesque, I'm done. I'm not going to be a part of this anymore. Nothing you say is going to change that."

"Jeff… think about it." Paul coaxed. "Just because Nicole's with you now, doesn't mean it's permanent. If her and Randy work things out, you'll be out in the cold again. Nicole's just with you because she wants a shoulder to cry on. We need to keep working at this, we need to make sure Nicole and Randy hate each other. If they don't, we'll never have our way."

Sighing, Jeff shook his head. "I can't do this. If Nicole finds out about it, I'm dead. She'll hate me. I'm not going to risk that. At least if she ends up with Randy, she'll be happy and we can still be friends."

"Do you actually think Randy will allow that? He knows about you and Nicole's history. He wont trust you with her."

"Someone better tell me what the hell is going on before I go ask Orton about it." Ric finally interrupted, fed up.

"All right Ric, come back to the room with me and I'll explain everything," Paul replied. "Hardy, why don't you come too? We have some talking to do."

"No… I think I need to get back to Nicole. I don't want her to wake up alone." Jeff countered.

"I'm sure she'll be fine, just come with us."

Sighing, Jeff gave in and slowly trudged behind Paul and Ric.

*~*~*~*~*

"Who is it?" Nicole questioned when she woke up to knocking on the hotel room door. She looked around for Jeff, but couldn't find him. Assuming he was at the door and he'd locked himself out, she quickly got out of bed and went to the door.

"Hi Nicole."

"Randy?" Nicole questioned, shock evident in her voice. "What are you doing here?"

"Well, I um… I needed to talk to you." Randy admitted. "I needed to apologize about the whole Paul thing."

Nicole clenched her teeth and looked at Randy curiously. "What about Paul?"

"Well, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry about accusing you of cheating on Jeff. I know you would never do that, but the way Paul told me, I don't know… I just believed him for some reason. I'm sorry."

"Don't be sorry," Nicole quietly responded. "I understand why you might believe Paul; he can be very convincing. My only problem is that I don't know why you wouldn't just come right out and ask me about it. I would've told you right away that it was a lie. When you just blurted it out like that it brought back memories of when Jeff accused me of it the night we broke up."

"Jeff accused you of cheating on him?" Randy asked with a shocked expression on his face.

"Well, not exactly. He kind of insinuated it. He just said that I'd been going out a lot with people and I was never there with him. Then he said that when I was out, he didn't know what I was doing or whom I was with. It just kinda hurt."

"Damn, I'm sorry." Randy apologized again.

"It's okay," Nicole replied. "You know, it isn't a good idea to be here. Jeff should be back soon."

"Yeah, I saw him downstairs in the lobby when I…" Randy stopped himself before he told Nicole what had happened. He didn't want her to know what he'd done because then she would know that he'd punched Paul and that would just make her worried about Paul coming back for revenge. It was going to happen either way, but Randy figured it was better if Nicole didn't know.

"When you what?" Nicole questioned, catching Randy's slip. He was going to say something before he stopped.

"Oh nothing," Randy covered with a smile. "I just saw him downstairs."

"Okay, what was he doing?"

Randy noticed how Nicole was looking at him suspiciously. Obviously she didn't buy his story. But it wasn't a very good story so it was understandable. "He was just getting some fresh air."

"Well then he might be back soon, so you might want to leave. It's not really a good time to deal with a fight."

"I'm not going to fight him," Randy explained. "I think he'd be the one who wanted to fight me, but I don't want to fight him."

"Alright, but you still need to go. I don't want Jeff to start anything with you."

Randy nodded and went to turn around, but stopped. He turned back towards Nicole and smiled, then leaned down and pressed a small kiss to her lips.

*~*~*~*~*

Remember what I said, Hardy. We need to see this thing through. If we do, there'll be no way that Nicole and Randy end up together. Nicole will be all yours.

Those words ran through Jeff's mind as he made his way down the hall, back to his room. After Paul's little talk, he was more confused than ever. Of course he wanted Nicole, he always had. But he didn't want to hurt her, and with this plan, one way or another, she would be hurt.

"Jeff, wait up!"

Turning around, Jeff smiled at the blonde making her way down the hall. "Hey Brit."

"Hey," Britney replied as she caught up with Jeff. "Where you going?"

"Back to my room," Jeff replied. "What about you?"

"I couldn't sleep, and Adam was asleep, so I was going to go find Nicole."

"Oh, she's in my room." He replied with a small smile, happy that he could say that again.

"Really?" Britney questioned. Maybe her two best friends were back together. But, what about Randy?

"Yeah," Jeff answered. "She came over earlier. She was really upset about Randy."

As they neared the door to Jeff's room, Britney turned to Jeff. "What happened with her and Randy?"

"Something about Paul telling Randy that Nicole cheated on me when we were together."

"That's stupid. Nicole wouldn't do that. Paul's just an ass."

Jeff nodded and turned the doorknob to his room. He and Britney walked in and were met with a surprise…

Randy Orton was in the room, and worse, he was kissing Nicole.
