A/N: It has been awhile since I updated this thing, but after reading the last chapter that I wrote in January, I found where I left off and where I should take it next. Sorry for all of you that did get into this and I took too long to write more, I am getting better I promise.


"Move out of the way, we have an injured guy coming through."

All of the wrestlers had been standing around monitors watching what had happened in the ring, but because of the temporary power outage, no one could tell for sure who had hit Jeff. Could it have been Trish, who had been the one that Jeff had wanted to help, or was it someone else? As they moved out of the way, the conversations just started pouring out, with everyone wondering the same thing. Which one of the superstars had really done it, and why?

"Has anyone seen Trish since the whole thing went down?" Torrie questioned Kurt as she saw him make his exit from the dressing room that he and John were sharing.

"I haven't seen her, and with what has gone on here, I didn't think I would. Torrie this is worse then we thought. I think I know who did it."

"What the hell are you talking about? How do you know? Did you have something to do with it Kurt?"

"Oh give me a break, I don't mean that I did it. What I mean is, I think it was John. I mean I haven't been able to find him since before the whole match was happening and everyone is on the lookout for him now. If he did do it, he did the worst thing in the world by taking off."

"But why would he do it?"

"Because him and Trish are more then friends of course."

As soon as he said the words he realized that he just crossed a line where he shouldn't have. He wasn't supposed to be going around telling people what Trish and John had wanted to keep a secret. The last person in the world he should have told it too was Torrie. It was sure to get around now.

"Oh my God, so it's true?"

"Listen Torrie, I have to find John before someone else less happy does alright? Can you do me a favour and forget that we had this conversation?"

"Sure Kurt, I can keep it a secret."

As she watched him walk away to find John, she realized she knew exactly where John was, and that if she wanted to get what she wanted she had better move fast. Grabbing her purse she pushed her way through all the wrestlers and ran down the hall.


"Jeff, please talk to me! Please tell me you're alright!" Trish screamed, throwing her fists lightly down on his chest.

She had remembered what had happened so clearly now that she couldn't get the picture out of her mind. She had been faking her injury as much as she could, feeling the pain just rising through her, and Jeff had been the one to come to her rescue. When she was in the moment out there in the ring she wasn't sure that it was him, but seeing him here now, she knew it was him. Touching her lips ever so gently she remembered fondly the memory of the kiss he had planted on her after he had come to her rescue. He couldn't be so seriously hurt after just making his comeback. He just couldn't be.

"Trish?"

Thinking that Jeff was awake, she looked into his eyes, shocked by the realization that it wasn't a dream. He was opening his eyes, fluttering to avoid the bright lighting he was placed under.

"Yeah its me, and I'm here. I am so sorry about what happened."

"Who did it?"

"Jeff I don't know. I thought you would be able to shed some light on that. I knew they were going to have someone come down the ramp to the ring, but they didn't tell me anything after that. I most certainly didn't think that it would be you either."

"I wanted to save you."

"I know you did. You never change even when you're away for a long period of time do you Jeff?"

"I--I guess not."

"So you don't know who hit you then? You didn't see anything?"

"No, but I certainly feel it. Where the hell am I?"

"You're loaded into the ambulance and we're on our way to the hospital so you can get looked at to make sure it's nothing really serious. You made a lot of people worry about you. Me included. I didn't want to be the reason that you got hurt."

"I'm okay now I think. My brain feels like fried mush at the moment, but other then that I can move my legs and arms."

"Well that's good. Listen, rest, we're almost there anyway. You need to relax as much as possible."

"Don't go anywhere. Please Trish, I know we have a really screwed up relationship at the moment but I don't want to be alone anymore. I need you to stay with you."

Trish looked at him, staring in his eyes and seeing the urgency there. She really didn't want to make John think that she was getting back together with her ex boyfriend, but she didn't think she could resist Jeff's urgency and his need for her to stay with him anymore.

"I don't know Jeff."

"Promise me that when we get to the hospital that you won't run away from me. We need to talk, and I want and need to have you by my side. I can't do this alone."

"I can call Matt for you if you like."

"I don't need Matt damn it, I need you. Please tell me you will stay."

She was torn. She loved John, but at the same time there was something unspoken between her and Jeff and if anything else, she was his friend and as his friend she needed and wanted to be there for him and make sure he was alright. Especially since she was the reason he was probably lying there at that very moment.

"Okay Jeff, you just get some rest. I am not going to go anywhere."


"John are you here?" Torrie whispered into the darkness of the night.

She had remembered that he had been out here with Trish earlier in the day, trying to hide away from the rest of the world and she figured if anything this is where she would find them again.

"Who is out there, show yourself damn it!"

"John it's Torrie. Everyone is looking for you like mad. They think you had something to do with what happened to Jeff. I knew you might be out here with Trish so I decided to come and get you."

"What happened to Jeff?"

"You mean you don't know what has been going on inside the building tonight?"

"No, I saw that creep run down to the ring to help Trish and I couldn't stand to watch anymore so I came out here to think for awhile. I don't have anything to do for the next little bit so I wanted to cool off before I did something I would regret."

"Did you do it John?"

"Did I do what? And what do you mean you thought I might be out here with Trish?"

"Oh Kurt told me everything. He told me not to tell anyone he told me, but you know I think you should know."

"What happened to Jeff tonight out there Torrie?"

"He got hit from behind while he was helping Trish and they both looked pretty beaten up. No one can find out who did it, but it seems like a lot of people are thinking you had something to do with it. I think you need to come back in and tell them you didn't before you get fired for it."

"But I didn't do it. Who thinks I did it?"

"Oh you know, Kurt does and well I talked to Trish earlier and she thinks that you had something to do with it as well. She was actually so mad that she went with Jeff to the hospital."

"She thought I did it?"

"She seemed pretty convinced."

"Holy shit! I cannot believe she would think that of me. I need to find her and make sure she gets over that idea pretty quick."

He stood from where he was sitting and tried to push his way past Torrie. He knew that she had gone to the hospital with Jeff, but what did that mean? Did that mean that she really did think he did it and she wanted to be with her ex?

"John wait a minute. Don't go running off like a wild man and just sit here for a second would you?"

"What would that accomplish right now?"

"I think you're better then she is anyway. You need someone who understands you, someone who won't go running off and kissing her ex right in the same building as her new boyfriend. You need someone like me."

Before he had the chance to say no or yes to her speech, she planted her lips on his and kissed him as deeply as she could, causing him to loose all ability to think and he slowly started to think less and less about what Trish was doing with Jeff, and more about what he should be doing right here with Torrie.

As they continued their kiss, there was a noise behind them, and turning away sharply from Torrie, John looked up. He came face to face to the completely disapproving face of Kurt.

"Buddy, you have a hell of a lot of explaining to do, and you better start quick, before I knock you out."
