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: Well since I updated this one yesterday, and it was written two days ago and fan fiction wouldn't let in me in to post it, I figured it's been two days so I needed to write one and pray that it gets through this time. Thank you Lisa for your review and anyone else that reviews this before I post this chapter, and as always I love the reviews because they keep me going!

"Summer?"
"Yes Jeff?"
"What do you say? Will you give me and our marriage another try?"
"What do we do if I say yes Jeff? Do we go back to the way things were before and then face each other in the ring? I mean this fight with us has drawn in a lot of money for the WWE now and I cannot fight you knowing that we are working on our marriage."
"So you are going to say no because of work? If that's what's important to you I will quit."
"Do you really want to quit?"
Jeff grinned at her sheepishly, and sat down beside her, running his fingers through his hair nervously. She knew him better then he knew himself and she already knew he didn't want to give up the ring now that he had come back to it and felt something for it again.
"No I don't but Summer if you haven't realized by now, I love you more then anything in this entire world and will do what it takes to make it work with us. My marriage to you has to come first."
"Jeff, can you please shut up for a minute here?"
A little taken aback, Jeff grew silent and looked at her, knowing she wanted to talk and hoping that he wasn't making things worse.
"Okay Jeff listen closely now, because this could make or break us."
Nodding his head to let her know that he was listening, he waited for her to drop the bomb that she was leaving him and going back home.
"I love you, and if you really want to make this work and make this better then I am here with you to work on it. I am not going back to Toronto. I came here for a reason and after some thoughts on my own, some talking to your brother, and then talking now to you, and what we feel when we make love to each other, I don't want to risk losing it again. But this has to be an honest effort for the both of us, and any slip ups and I will put the divorce through for good."
"Wait a second here, are you telling me you want to work on our marriage?"
"Yeah that is why I had to make sure you shut your mouth for five minutes."
Laughing Jeff pulled her close to him, not wanting to let go for anything in the world. She was taking a huge step in staying and he knew that he had to do everything in his power not to lie to her about anything anymore, and they had to start talking to each other again.
"When do you have to go back on the road Summer?"
"Two days, for the live RAW, why do you ask?"
"If you don't have anything planned, what would you say about going out with me today and spending the day together?"
"I'd like nothing more."
*********************************************************
Shane heard the knock on his door and was hoping that it would be Summer, coming to let him know that she wasn't mad anymore and she didn't want anything to do with Jeff and they could be happy, but when he opened the door he got an even bigger shock. A real blast from the past.
"Hey Shane, I know I didn't call or anything but I figured it would be alright if I came here."
He hadn't seen her since the funeral and she still looked as if it was taking a toll on her like it was on him. Allowing her to come in without a word, he followed her as she made her way into his living room and took a seat on the couch.
"So what brings you here?"
"I needed to see you I guess. I am having a pretty hard time letting go of Hayley and what she meant to me and I am seeing her everywhere in our house. I guess I came here to let you know that I am selling the house and that if there is anything of hers that you want you can come and get it before I sell."
"You're selling the house?"
"Yeah, I mean it seems like the only way I can truly move on from her you know?"
"Amanda, how much do you want for it?" Shane asked, knowing this was the house that he had spent so much time with Hayley in, and if Amanda sold it, it would be the real end of everything that they had. Even with his thoughts on Summer and his budding feelings for her, he wasn't yet ready to let go of Hayley.
"Shane, I am not selling it too you. I have a buyer and she is willing to pay more then I asked for it. Really likes the place and thinks it can be used for something even better in Hayley's honor. I just wanted to let you know that I was doing it and that all of Hayley's personal stuff is ready for you to take when and if you want it now. I know you have moved on."
"I haven't moved on Amanda. I went back to work to keep my mind off of her and how much I still miss her. You have no idea how much I still wish that there was something I could have done to make her illness go away and make her live."
"There's something you might want to keep then."
"What do you mean? I thought I got all of Hayley's important stuff when she died."
"You didn't get the one thing she didn't even let me see. But it's there now and as much as I want to look through it, and read it, I can't. Remember that tattered brown book she always walked around with and no one knew what was in it?"
"Yeah, it was the ugliest thing she ever owned. She actually wrote in that?"
"Yeah apparently it was pretty important to her. I haven't looked through it, but she told me that she was leaving it to you if anything happened and it just slipped my mind about giving it to you until I decided to sell the house and found it again."
"You think it has anything about me in it?"
"I think it might be all about you, and it was pretty special to her, so when you get the chance, the lady doesn't take the house for another 3 months. You can come by and get it and whatever else you want and then we can all move on I guess."
Pulling Amanda close to him, he just held her. It just seemed like the right thing to do in this situation, and he remembered that he was the same way, not wanting to let go, and not wanting to eat sleep or move without Hayley in his life, until Summer had come along. Amanda needed someone like Summer was too him to help her through this.
"Stay the night Amanda. Don't go back to that house and get lost in the memories again, it's not what Hayley wants. I will go back with you tomorrow and get the book but until then, just stay here with me and let me help you deal with all of this."
"I don't think that's the right thing to do Shane, I need to go back home, I need to deal with all of this now."
Not giving him a chance to explain why he wanted her to stay she walked out of the living room and out the door, letting it slam behind her. Shane had no idea what was going on, but he was sure he was going to get to the bottom of it. He couldn't let Amanda get so lost in the memories that she didn't allow her actual life to continue, there was just no way.
*********************************************************
A/N: Well shorter chapter, but the next one is going to be focused on Jeff and Summer's first date. I am going backwards because I want to build more onto this marriage and make it look better on paper with this book. Now as far as Amanda goes, she was bound to come back in sooner or later and look for her to cause some issues for Shane and Summer, as well as Jeff in the future, but it couldn't be a sequel book for Shane if the old friend didn't show up. So let me know what you think when you read it and review and I thank anyone who does in advance because I live for the reviews!!
