superstars in this story; they are all owned in and by themselves and the

A/N: You guys seem to be really digging this one, and although I know how it starts and finishes, the stuff in the middle comes to me when I'm working, so you might not like the general way this one goes but never fear, I always make someone happy in my fictions, so this is just another case of that. Please review and let me know what you think because for some reason I love this story more then any other.
*******************************************
"You can't possibly want to blame this on me Jeff. Beth and you had issues before I even came on the scene and you told me that yourself." Trish stated more then a little upset now that Jeff could possibly think this was her fault at all.
"That's not what I meant Trish; please don't take me the wrong way. You're right; me and Beth had our issues when we dated the first time. I asked her for the time apart from each other because most of the time all I could do was think about ringing her neck, but I thought the second time would be easier."
"And it wasn't?"
"No because after that breakup with her and then meeting you the way we did, there was no way I could go back to her and just pretend things weren't that much better with you. I mean Trish, you are in this business and you know what I go through and unfortunately she doesn't."
"That's not her fault Jeff." As much as Trish wanted to root for Beth here and make Jeff not confess how much he did care for her, she couldn't help but feel the slightest twang of sadness. She had missed being with him too, and when he left and went back to Cameron, she thought her whole world had ended.
"I know. God this isn't coming out right at all is it?" Jeff asked, searching her face for some kind of feeling that would tell him she did indeed understand what he was going through.
"It's coming out fine. When you left the WWE Jeff, you did more damage to me then to anything else. We dated and I fell in love with you and I thought that you were the best thing that ever happened to me. No one got me quite like you did; quirks and all, and I thought you felt the same. When I found out that you went back to the one person you said didn't get you, well you took my heart with you and you never gave it back. Not even John can repair the damage that you did when you left. I don't blame you, you did what you had to do at the time, but I won't sit here and say that this declaration is coming way past time."
"But what does me telling you this mean for the moment Trish?"
"It means what it means. I am just now getting over getting my heart stomped on again by a wrestler not that much different then you were before. Right now I won't go back in time and say I want you back because I don't."
"What do you want?"
"I want to just be."
"Dare I ask what you mean by that? Or would that be considered insensitive of me for not understanding your meaning?"
"You can ask, and I will tell you with no issue. I am so stressed out with this jump in shows and I did something stupid getting together with John when I wasn't totally over you. So what I want to do for right now is to take a step back from all of it and just exists."
"I can let you do that."
"Can you?" Trish asked, raising her eyes, not quite sure whether to believe him or not.
"Only if I can do one thing."
"You can do whatever you want at this point Jeff; I have never once stood in your way before."
Listening to her give him the opening he so desperately wanted, he reached in and cupping her face in his hands, he kissed her gently at first and when she warmed up to the idea more, he deepened it. They were so lost in each other and the moment that they didn't hear the door open and slam shut.
******************************************************
"What the hell is going on here?" John demanded when he heard the door slam behind him and he made his way over to where they were sitting.
Pulling apart and feeling slightly bad for letting herself get roped in again; Trish just threw John a look of disdain. There was no way he was going to make her feel worse then she already did and if he thought he could he was dead wrong.
"What did it look like John?" Trish spat out, finally seeing Kurt standing on the other side of John and throwing him a wave.
"You got that pissed at me that you had to come here and say you were seeing Amy but all the while you wanted to suck face with that punk?"
"John it was nothing just relax alright? I kissed her." Jeff interjected not wanting Trish to be on the end of a very bad situation, which it was brewing up to be.
"You kissed her? So I didn't see her kissing you back and not breaking away from you then?"
Before any of them could answer Matt and Amy chose that moment to come back into the room, obviously startled that there was two extra bodies then when they had left.
"What the hell is going on in here? John, Kurt what are you two doing here?"
"Making a huge mistake. I should have seen this coming as soon as Kurt warned me about him. Damn, I cannot believe I was such an idiot." John said stalking in anger towards the door, not waiting for Kurt but knowing he just wanted to get out of there.
"John wait! Will you at least hear me out a little bit?" Trish managed to choke out, seeing how angry he was and wanting to do whatever it took to make him understand that this was a horrible mistake on her part too.
"I don't know why I bothered. Jeff obviously still has your heart and can walk all over it whenever he wants. Listen, let me tell you something and then I am out of here for good. If he breaks your heart again, don't come to me alright? You two make me sick."
Without another word he stormed out of the room, Kurt fast on his heels knowing that he had to do something to calm John down before he blew his top on someone that didn't deserve it.
*******************************************
"Okay Trish, what was John doing here ands why do you guys make him sick?" matt asked, searching his younger brothers face for some sign of something being the matter, but the only thing he could find was a huge grin like he had won the lottery.
"John came in here and caught me and Jeff-well kissing."
"You didn't." Amy choked out completely in shock. She knew about their past but she didn't think that Trish would allow that to happen again. Not to mention that she seemed pretty beat up over what John had done to her earlier that night.
"I did and it was wrong. Jeff I am sorry but this doesn't change anything and as much as I want to believe that you wouldn't hurt me this time, I just can't. Now if you don't mind I need to catch up with John before leaves. As pissed as I still am with him I think I need to hear him out."
Standing from the bed she pushed her way past Jeff's open arms and on to the door, hell bent on making John understand what she did and why she did it out of anger. She didn't want to lose him and go back with Jeff.
"Well this is quite the mess that you got yourself into isn't it Jeff? What are you going to do to fix it now?" Matt asked, raising his eyebrows in question.
"I'm going to win her back is what I'm going to do."
