Broken Trust: CHAPTER EIGHTEEN:

Sighing, Nicole slowly walked back to Jeff's hotel room. The one Randy was still in. As she approached the room, Nicole wiped at her eyes, getting rid of any trace of tears. Though Randy was probably asleep, she didn't want to risk the chance of him being awake and noticing that she'd been crying. She didn't want to have to explain everything to him.

After hesitating for a moment, Nicole walked into the room as quietly as possible, not wanting to wake Randy up if he was sleeping. She quickly made her way to the bed and looked down at Randy. He was sleeping like a baby. She leaned over next to him, placing a small kiss on his cheek, then his forehead. She felt horrible, knowing the pain he must've been in from Paul's abuse. Just thinking of that man made her angry. But, she didn't want to think of him now.

Smiling at the sight of Randy asleep, Nicole pulled the blanket up over his body and then climbed into the bed beside Randy, turning her back to him and staring out the window. So much was going through her mind right now, and she didn't know how to deal with it all.

As much as Jeff's harsh words had hurt her, Nicole knew something was up. He didn't sound like he'd meant any of what he'd said. Jeff was up to something, and Nicole just wished she knew what it was.

*THE NEXT DAY*

"Hey, baby," Adam greeted as Britney joined him, Chris, and Jay at their breakfast table.

Britney mumbled a greeting as she slid into the booth beside Adam, obviously still tired.

"You okay, Brit?" Jay questioned, laughing slightly.

"Tired," She muttered, resting her head in her arms on the table.

"Have any of you guys seen Jeff, Nic, or Randy?" Chris asked, causing Britney's head to pop up.

"No one's seen them since last night?" The three guys shook their heads and Britney's face started to fill with worry.

"Maybe we should..." Adam began, but stopped. "Hey, there's Jeff. Jeff!"

When he heard his voice, Jeff looked around and found Adam calling him. He slowly walked over to the table, glad that Nicole and Randy were nowhere to be seen.

"Hey guys," He greeted, running a hand through his blue hair.

"Hey," Adam replied. "Do you happen to know where Nicole and Randy are?"

Hesitating for a moment, Jeff replied, "No. I haven't seen them at all today." Technically, it was the truth, but he *did* know where the pair was at the moment. He just didn't care the share that information.

"Are you sure?" Britney questioned, her blue eyes searching Jeff's green ones. She was always good at finding out when people were lying. Especially since he wasn't a very good liar to begin with.

"Yeah."

Britney had a feeling Jeff was lying, but she didn't want to call him on it if she was wrong. So, she stayed quiet.

"Jeff, what happened between you, Nic, and Randy after we left?" Chris asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Nothing," Jeff replied, his voice calm. "Well, Paul came to the room."

All four of the blondes at the table gawked at him. Jeff knew he shouldn't have shared that piece of information with them. Now they wouldn't stop until they heard the whole story. And that would mean that he'd have to tell them about his problems with Paul. Him and his big mouth.

"What the fuck did Levesque want?" Jay asked through gritted teeth.

"Well, he uh, wanted to talk to me."

"About what?" Britney inquired. She almost couldn't believe that the man sharing this information with her was one of her best friends. Since his and Nicole's breakup, Jeff had been a different person. And she didn't like this new person, with his new friendships with Paul Levesque, and his growing hatred for Randy. It was so unlike the friend she used to have.

"Just some business stuff. I guess Vince and them have been thinking about giving me a push."

Britney tried not to laugh, knowing he was lying through his teeth. "I see."

"Jeff, no offense, but we know you're lying," Adam admitted. "Now, what's *really* going on with you and Paul Levesque? And what really happened last night?"

"I'll tell you what happened..."

All five of the people talking turned around at the voice, finding Nicole standing there behind them.
