A/N: I got a really good response for that last chapter even though it was really small so I want to thank those of you that took the time to read it. I could place all your names here, but I believe you know who you are and that the thanks would be enough. Thank you so much for sticking with me even though I take months to update usually and here is the next chapter.

"So what is it exactly you want me to do right now Stephanie?" Jeff asked as they were all gathered around one of the televisions in the back. He wanted to get out in the ring and do something really badly, but he also knew that he was on probation at this point so he had to go with whatever Stephanie thought fit.
"Trish is doing her first title defense as Women's Champion tonight, so basically what I am thinking and I am sure you'll agree is that you need to be back here watching that match. How the crowd will see you is completely obvious. They are going to cut to the back and show the television so no one misses any of the match at home and also see a little bit of you and wonder what you're doing back here."
"Okay, that sounds cool."
"Listen Jeff, my father isn't happy you're back and to be honest I don't own this company so if he isn't happy and wants you out you're going to have to go but I think you deserve this chance to come back and make amends for what happened over six months ago. I think you are an amazing performer and I can't wait to see you back out there in the ring. I guess what I am saying here is don't let me down or let me lose faith in you, because right now I'm all you've got."
"I understand Stephanie. You don't have to worry about anything though. I realize that I did some messed up things the last time I was here, and that it affected a lot of people business and personal so I'm going to bust ass to make sure that doesn't happen again. Thank you for putting your faith in me and knowing that I won't let you down. I'll do the best I can to make this easy for you."
Stephanie smiled and touched Jeff's hand gently before walking down the hallway to let the camera's get into the position that they needed for the spot. With a few minutes to kill, Jeff walked down the hallway a little ways to look around. Not paying attention to what was going on around him, he ran straight into Torie Wilson.
"Oh sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going. I didn't hurt you did I?" he asked, looking up and seeing who he had hit.
"No, I've taken worse then that from Peter some nights. I didn't just say that did I? Well never mind what I said then, how's it going Jeff? Do they have you doing anything tonight?"
"Yeah a spot with Trish, kind of."
"Well that's good news isn't it? I mean you two were a powerhouse for the fans on Raw when you were both there, so this can only mean good things."
"I wish it was that cut and dry Torie, but you don't need to hear about my issues. What is it they have planned for you tonight? More shit with Sable?"
"Isn't that always the way? I swear that they only want to see how fast that we can strip. I know Rena doesn't like it all that much and I know that I would rather save the stripping for Peter when we get time alone on the road, but you do what you have to for a pay check and the fans adoration right?"
"Have you talked to Vince? I mean I can't see why he would be totally against having the two of you learn to wrestle."
"Yeah but who is going to teach us?"
"Trish of course, or hell if you wanted to learn that badly you could come out to the gym in Charlotte with Matt, Amy and I and we can teach you things we think you might be able to do without killing yourself."
"Are you serious, you would do that?"
"Of course, anytime you want. Just let me know and I can let Matt and Amy know that they can have some company."
"Well thanks Jeff, that means a lot."
"Don't mention it."
"By the way, I'm glad to hear that you and Trish got back together. It seems to be making her happier and I know that John was trying to make a move. I'm glad you stopped him."
Jeff watched her walk away before he could comment and thought about what she had said. Trish seemed happy but it was for all the wrong reasons. He had come back to Smack down to start his career over right with no more issues but he couldn't let this issue rest without paying it the due attention it needed. He had to win her back and get her away from John; it was just the way things were supposed to be.
*************************************************************
"Dad, I know what you want me to do alright, and it's been taken care of."
"How is it taken care of? Did you find someone to take Hardy out or not?"
"You know what's been going on around here recently right?"
"Regarding what exactly?"
"Trish, and John Cena."
"Yeah I'm aware and for once I actually think it's good for the business. They aren't calling attention to it which means we can do what we want with them, but where are you going with this?"
"You want to start something for Jeff, well why don't we make it personal?"
"You mean have him face John don't you?"
"I'm sure John is feeling pretty threatened at this point and it would make for some good television to see how he works it out. He could tear Jeff apart or he could totally suck, we have to take the chance before we see what can happen. What do you think?"
"I say do it, what's the worst thing that can happen? Just don't let them know until the last minute. I don't want a war breaking out that we can't show on the show."
***********************************************************************
Smack down Taping - Spot
Jeff sat in the back and watched her make her way down the ramp. He hadn't noticed before how into it she really got, and with the shiny belt glowing around her waist, it looked like she belonged there. Her music seemed to have her pumped and he almost didn't notice the change in genre for it. He didn't figure Trish for a girl that got heavily into the rock music but seeing the way she made her way down to the ring and the music pouring out around her, the fans in a frenzy, it just seemed to fit. She really had changed a little bit since he left her.
Conscious of the cameras around him and Stephanie's warning to have everything natural, he touched the screen and smiled. One day soon he would be down they're with her, and they would walk together again, but for now he had to make it look like he was longing for it. He saw Nidia make her way down to the ring with Jamie Noble and immediately stepped back from the television to watch what was about to happen. As the match began he heard people talking around him.
"She's going to take a nasty fall, and they need someone to go out there and help her. They already tried to find John but he's missing in action."
He didn't want to interrupt while this was going on because Jeff was aware of the taping still in place but he had to make sure they weren't talking about Trish.
"Who is going to take the fall?"
The two guys behind the camera moved and looked at Jeff. The signal they gave him meant that this was all planned and that he was going to be the one to go down and make the save. John was somewhere in the back obviously and not aware of what was going on since he had a title match the same night he had to focus on, but they were going to give Jeff the chance to go down there and start over, the right way.
"Trish, she's going to fall wrong, and they need someone to go down and help her and make sure that Jamie doesn't get into the ring and create issues."
"They have anyone yet?"
"No, word is they can't find John and since he is the one that she is with mostly they need to find someone else. Why do you ask dude?"
"Get the message to Stephanie guys, I'm going in there and I'm doing it, and I am not taking no for an answer."
As he turned back towards the camera he saw Nidia throw Trish into the ropes and Jamie standing directly behind her ready to flip her out of the ring for the fake fall. He knew she had to have done this a million times but the look of concern on his face was still evident. He worried about her and he worried that maybe she really would take this fall wrong and something bad would happen.
"Hey Hardy, it's you cue, go now!" the cameraman yelled, pulling Jeff out of his thoughts. He took one look at the guy and made a run for it. If he ran fast he would hit Gorilla in two seconds and he would be that much closer to his girl again.
************************************************************************
Trish didn't get a chance to react as Jamie pulled her down to the ground outside and when she landed she heard her neck give way, and she screamed in agony. She was adding a little more too it but she hadn't expected it to hurt that much to begin with.
Before she had a chance to look up at Jamie she saw a shadow coming around her and knocking Jamie down to the ground with her. She could have sworn she knew that colored hair but at the moment with her head and her neck acting up she couldn't be sure. She shook her head a little and she saw him, standing there in what looked like the most incredible light. He really had come back to her, and now he was here saving her.
Making sure Jamie was down on the mat outside Jeff came to her and careful as not to hurt her neck he picked her up and taking one look at the fans and not caring about the reaction he was going to receive from her when it was all said and done, he bent down to her and kissed her deeply. She reacted as she had the same day in the hotel and everything just seemed to come together, that was until he got hit from behind, dropping her to the ground and causing his knees to give up from under him.
He didn't know who hit him, but it seemed like he was now part of a bigger plan and Jeff didn't know if he liked that or not.
******************************************************************
A/N: Who hit him, and why? Okay so read and review and I will be back with more updates soon as the idea flow.
