A/N: So I couldn't wait until the weekend to write the next chapter of this because I know most of you are dying to know who was in that room or who was at the door anyway, and if you read the first chapter you will gain insight into who it might be, but no backpedaling now, I am about to give you the next chapter, so as always read and review and tell me what you think!

Making his way down the hall of the arena at a fevered pace, John checked his watch. He didn't know how long he had to get to Trish and if she would even listen to him if he did get there in time. He had a lot to make up for here, and he was the first one to admit it. Pushing his way through the doors, he came face to face with Kurt.
"She's gone to see Amy dude."
"I know that Kurt, and if you don't mind I am trying to get there as fast as I can. I know I made a mess of things and that you think I did too, so I can't waste anymore time sitting around here talking about it."
"You really like her don't you?"
"Yes Kurt I thought we established that. I was a lying sack of dog shit back in the locker room and it took her walking out crying to realize it. So like I said if you don't mind."
"I'm coming with you."
"What?" John asked taken aback that he wanted to ride with him after what John had done to his friend earlier.
"You heard me pal, I want to come with you. I figure she won't listen to you if you just show up there, and that's even if Amy lets you through her door. So if you show up with me, and she sees that I obviously don't hate you, you might have an in."
Nodding his head in agreement, willing to take whatever help he could get right now, they made their way towards the car.
"There is one thing you need to know though."
"What's that Kurt?"
"Amy is a link for Trish, and it's a link you won't like if it happens to come to life again."
"What the hell are you talking in code for man? What link are you talking about?"
"Jeff Hardy is what I am talking about. You do know that they dated for a really long time right?"
"They did what?"
"It was all the news over on Raw for a long time. They dated and they tried to hide it as best they could, and then when he left or got busted or whatever happened, it came out in the open and she ended up getting asked about it in every interview."
"No shit!"
"Yeah that's what I said. It hit her pretty hard and for a long time that's all people saw when she went out there to entertain. That's why they moved her over there. So the fact that she came right out and told me that she liked you and you were dating was a big thing for her. She obviously got past the entire backlash from Jeff."
"But you think he could come back on the scene and ruin whatever is happening here?"
"That's exactly what I think. Jeff and I never got close, but he did love her from what I hear and it was pretty bad, them splitting I mean."
"Well I don't think he's in town right now, so let's just focus on me getting to her and making this alright again okay?"
'Whatever you say buddy. I'm here for ya."
"You aren't going to break out with the whole huganomics thing again are ya?"
***************************************
"Hey Matt!" Trish exclaimed, running into his arms and giving him a huge hug. Even though they were on the same show, she never got to really sit down and talk with him like she used too and seeing him here now was just so awesome. She didn't know when she wrapped her arms around him that the bigger problem was standing behind him.
"Hey Trish." He said, stepping out from behind his brother and walking into the room, his eyes never leaving her body.
"Jeff, will wonders never cease. How are you?" she managed to choke out her eyes following his and wishing she was somewhere else at this moment. She had been doing alright, and now this had to happen.
"I've been better, how about you?"
"Doing well thanks."
"You don't look it." Jeff said, meaning it. He looked her up from head to toe and though she looked as fit as ever, her face was streaked with her makeup, like she had been crying. The last time he had seen her she had been doing the same thing and it was a look that didn't suit her, she was too stunning for that.
"You know, I don't think I can handle this right now after all. Amy I will get out of your hair and let you all catch up. Thanks for listening."
As she made her way to the door, Jeff reached out her arm and pulled her back gently.
"Don't go, if it would make it better I can leave, because I know you probably want to talk to Matt."
"No actually its fine, I can leave."
Amy had to interrupt them before she got a headache with all the back and forth they were doing.
"Neither one of you is leaving. Now Matt and I are going to get some refreshments from downstairs, and when we come back you better both be here still."
***************************************
"So you really think that Jeff could be a problem later for us?" John asked as Kurt continued to drive like a maniac down the road.
"Yeah I do to be honest with you. She really loved him and that's a first for her. I actually heard her telling Karen all of this the other day when she was over visiting. I hate that he did that to her, but there was no denying she was happy. Sort of like she was tonight."
"Until I went and messed it all up right?"
"Yes, that's it in a nutshell."
"Then what are you waiting for, we need to get to that Holiday Inn soon, I need to make this girl mine again."
*****************************************
"So why does it look like you've been crying?" Jeff asked putting his hand gently over hers as they both sat down in the empty bed.
Trish really didn't want to get into this with Jeff, knowing their past and what she had to overcome to get to where she was now, but he was there, and he always did have a way of making her talk, mainly because he was always quiet when they were together before.
"Guy trouble is all. Nothing major."
"It's more then that and you know it. So what did this guy do to make you cry?"
"He couldn't admit that we were dating."
"Well does he have a reason for wanting to keep silent?"
"Yeah, he's a wrestler, but I thought he didn't care, because that's what he gives off when we are together. I guess I was just ready to bring it out and I didn't care. So really it was my fault."
"No it's not. You felt comfortable and he didn't and the least he could have done was tell you. Do you mind if I ask who?"
"John."
"John who?"
"John Cena."
"Okay wait a second here, you were dating John Cena? Isn't he like totally unlike anyone that you have dated before?"
"Well I didn't think that it mattered and I didn't think he could do the damage that you did to me, so excuse me if he's not what you think I should be with."
"That's not what I meant Trish. I just don't like the fact that he made you cry is all. I know I did a lot of that when I left and I thought the next time I would see you, you would be smiling."
"Well life sucks doesn't it?"
"I guess it does babe. For what it's worth I'm sorry. I'm going through a little bit of that myself now actually."
"What? You and Beth didn't work out like you thought you would?"
"Not even close and there was always something there that was stopping us from really being ya know?"
"What was it?"
"You Trish, you were the one thing that kept me from really loving her the way she wanted me too."
