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: Another update from me, I don't think I like not being able to update my old stuff and finish it the way it should be finished. So here is another one and as always review, and I thank you for those that did the last chapter reviews. Enjoy!

As Jeff started the car and they began to pull out of the arena parking lot, he cast a look over to where Summer was sitting right beside him. They had found her in time for her work in the ring, but since then she had been abnormally quiet. For a girl that was back and happy with her husband, she sure didn't look it.

"You want to talk about it baby?" he inquired lightly not wanting to start anything they couldn't deal with in the car.

"Hmmm? What was that Jeff?" she asked, finally looking up from the place she had been staring at for the last ten minutes.

"I asked you if you wanted to talk about what was bothering you that's all."

"What makes you think something is wrong babe? I am just for once trying to sit back and think over the night."

"You sure you weren't thinking about Shane being with Trish?"

"Now why in the hell would I even want to think about that?"

"Because Matt did the same damn thing to you before when you dated and seeing what you did surely brought you back to that time again. I mean I know you don't feel the same about Shane as you did Matt, but you know what I am getting at here."

"Yes I do, and you're right I suppose. It just makes me sick I guess. But if the two of them are together and she makes him happy then why the hell shouldn't they try? Maybe they can get what we have."

"Well what we will have again." Jeff said, not realizing that he had let it slip. He had been thinking a lot tonight as well about how happy they were and how things were going back to normal and that soon, there wouldn't be a doubt about it and they would be solid. He just didn't want Summer to think he didn't take it seriously.

"Yes, you're right."

Lying back on the seat Summer just took to watching the world pass her by as they drove along. She knew she had to tell Jeff what she was thinking, but was there ever an easy way to do that? She loved him and she knew she did and always would, but what Shane and her had shared over the last few months was different and so much more powerful now. She didn't know what she wanted or what from this moment on she had to do.

"You're not mad about what Eric said are you? I knew I shouldn't have told you, but I thought you might want to know what a real asshole Vince is relying on now."

"No, I'm not mad Jeff, I mean Eric has and always will be an ass, you can't change that but I'm not even thinking about that anymore. I mean I showed up when I needed too so screw him for once."

Jeff smiled and kept driving in silence. She seemed like the normal Summer now, but he couldn't get the nagging voice out of his head that he needed to be more worried about her mood right now. There was something she was thinking that she didn't want him to know and he would be damned if he didn't want to get it out of her.

"You did what man?"

"We kissed. It wasn't supposed to happen Matt, but it did and now I sit here and think about it and I can't help wanting to be able to keep doing it."

"Keep kissing her? Do you even realize that she is still Jeff's wife? Doesn't that mean anything to you at all?"

"Yes it does, it means a hell of a lot to me, but what else am I supposed to do. Since Hayley she is the only girl I have had any kind of feeling for."

"She is Jeff's wife dude. That means she is no longer touchable, and if I hear you talking like this again I am going to smack you. Does Jeff have any idea what the two of you did?"

"I have no idea what Jeff knows. I don't think she is going to tell him if that's what you mean. She took off after we kissed and I don't expect to see her at all again. She was pretty messed up. First Trish and then the damn kiss."

Before Matt had a chance to say anything more to his conflicted best friend, there was a knock at the door. Shane glanced at it, his eyes widening at the thought that it might be Summer, and rising slowly he headed towards, Matt following on his heels.

When he opened the door, he was surprised not to see Summer standing there, but Amanda, whom he thought had gone back home after getting some of Hayley' s old things.

"Amanda, hey, what are you doing here this late?"

"Hey Shane, I just thought we could talk for a while about Hayley if you don't mind. I've been kind of having a rough day all of a sudden and needed a familiar face." As she finished what she was saying she noticed Matt come into view behind Shane and suddenly her face went flush.

"I didn't mean to interrupt." she stammered, not losing the reddish tint in her cheeks.

"You weren't. Matt was just leaving, weren't ya man?"

"Yeah, and nice to see you again Amanda. Have a good night guys and Shane remember what I told you alright?"

Winking at him as he put on his shoes and walked out the door, Shane nodded and waved as he got to his car. Closing the door behind him he turned to face Amanda, who by now had tears starting to form in her eyes.

"Do you realize what today was Shane?" she choked out.

"No, what is it Amanda?"

"It's Hayley's birthday, or it would have been had she lived. I just thought I could do it alone, and then sitting in the apartment and thinking of all the times I would wait for her to come home, well it just kind of did a number on me."

"Did you try calling Mike?"

"Me and Mike broke up a few months after Hayley's wake. I'm sorry I didn't mention that before. I had no where else to go that they would understand."

Motioning towards the chair, Shane motioned for her to sit down. When she finally got seated he came down beside her, and holding her tightly managed to choke out the same words he had been thinking about before she came to his door.

"I miss her too, nothing in this world is ever going to make this any easier."

Sitting there in silence, wiping her tears Amanda looked up at him and got a full view of the real conviction in his eyes. She knew he would understand her.

At the same time as her looking up at him, he felt her move and looked down at her, causing their lips to touch in one small tender moment between two friends who were missing their other halves.

After a few moments lingering in the kiss, Shane broke away and staring down at her, unable to speak, just smiled.
