Disclaimer: Ownership of the WWE superstars in this story is purely
fictional. I am using them to make the story that much better. I own Summer
Ryan Hardy and Amanda from my other story and that is it. Everyone else as
I said is perfectly fictional and they own themselves. It is for the
greater good. But hell, if any of the superstars would like me to own them,
well come on down!
A/N: Here is chapter two, and Princess Muse and Jeff's Favorite Skittle thank you for the reviews, very good to hear people wanted to read it.

"This is a surprise! I didn't expect to hear from you."
Summer laughed into the phone lightly and gazed around her office. When Jeff and him had been happily married they had never missed a chance to go back to the company that was like home to them. Hearing from Jim now was definitely a surprise.
"What can I do for you Jim?"
"Remember a couple of weeks ago when you said you wanted to make a come back?"
"I do. I remember it well. Why do you ask?"
"I'm calling because we found something for you to do. Something that could set your career on fire again. Are you interested?"
"You piqued my interest. Why don't you tell me what you've got in mind?"
"I'm actually in Toronto right now, so why don't we meet over dinner? It's been awhile since I've seen both you and Jeff."
"Actually Jeff is home in Carolina, but if you still want to meet, then I'm all for it."
"Okay, I'm staying at the King Edward hotel. You can meet me here and we can have dinner."
"Sounds like a plan. See you soon Jim." Summer smiled as she placed the phone down. Now that she got her label in order, it was time to come back home where she belonged, which was in the ring. Summer Ryan was back, and if she had anything to say about it, better then ever.
********************************
"So Jim what is this amazing story that I need to come back for?" Summer asked swallowing the last of her food and placing her fork back down on the plate.
"Well you know that Shane is scheduled to come back next week, and what we're proposing is that he come back, but not alone."
"Okay I follow you so far."
"Well as you know, we've pulled Shannon from the Smack down roster and brought him over to RAW, and we've decided based on their size, to make them a team. What we need now is some spice."
"And I am your spice of choice?"
"One and the same. Now I know you need to discuss this with Jeff, but I really think now would be the best time for you to make your comeback. To make the impact that you deserve."
"I'll do it Jim. Send me the paperwork as soon as Vince has it drawn up and I'm totally in. I cannot wait to get back into the ring."
Jim looked at her face as she spoke and although he didn't want to mention what was on his mind now, he knew that he had too.
"Excuse me for questioning your acceptance, but don't you want to discuss this with Jeff?"
"Jim, me and Jeff, that is Jeff and I, well we're getting a divorce."
*************************
Opening the door for his brother and throwing the keys on the small table near the door, Matt watched as Jeff went into the house, stopping only to grab a cold beer out of the fridge.
"You want one bro?"
"No thanks, and Jeff you shouldn't be having one either. Why haven't you opened the papers yet?"
"I already know what they are Matt. But hell, feel free to open them up and see for yourself."
Throwing the brown envelope in Matt's direction, Jeff cracked open the bottle and started to drink. As if the world was moving in slow motion around him, he watched Matt grab the letter opener and open the envelope, pulling the papers out and scanning them with his eyes. He watched his brother's expression go from indifferent to a frown, almost in an instant and Jeff knew that he had been right all along.
"Jeff why the hell would she do this? Is there somebody else?"
"No Matt, you know Summer by now after all of your history, and you know she wouldn't cheat. This is all my fault."
"Oh don't tell me. After what I did to her, and what got you two together in the first place, you're going to tell me that you cheated on her?"
"No Matt damnit, I didn't cheat on her. The reason she is in Toronto and I am here In North Carolina is because I asked her for a separation, and for the past month since Hayley's funeral we haven't talked."
"You did what Jeff?"
"I'm a mess Matt. I left the wrestling business for my music and my music isn't going anywhere. My wife already has one CD out, of cover songs and her own material, and she loves and needs the wrestling business. It's only a matter of time before she goes back to that too and takes it over again."
"So what are you saying here bro? What does Summer succeeding have to do with anything?"
"Matt, I'm jealous of my wife alright? Does that make you happy to hear? Being jealous of her makes me sick but she's so damned successful at everything and I can do nothing. Not like I thought I could."
"So you asked for a separation from the woman you love because you are jealous of her?"
"That and some other reasons too."
"Well then do you care to share them with me. Make me understand how she could be so out of the loop with you that she files for divorce."
"I kissed Hayley a while ago, and it got placed in her book, and they even asked me to talk about it. The mistake that I made was that I didn't tell Summer about it. Well she read the book and she found out, and to top it all off when she asked me what it meant to me, I couldn't tell her it didn't mean anything."
"Oh Jesus Jeff."
"Which leads me to where I am now. A divorce."
"Jeff maybe it's for the best man."
Jeff looked up at his brother and for the first time found himself wondering if Matt was still interested in Summer. Him and Amy had broken up months ago, so Summer was now fair game.
"Why? Are you interested in having another go with her bro?"
"You know what Jeff, fuck you! I do not want Summer despite what you think. It's a good thing because you both need to get your heads examined."
Not waiting for a response, Matt turned around on his heels and walked out of the door slamming it behind him with a loud bang, leaving Jeff to wonder if he didn't mess things up even more.
