PART TWENTY-FIVE

"Adam, I just want my best friend back, right here next to me. I wanna see her and pull pranks on her like when we were kids. I wanna be able to see her here and see her smile. I.."

"I, I, I that's all I here you saying. I know you miss her and I know you want her back here but you think I don't?" Adam questioned.

"Adam, that's not what I'm saying at all. I'm just saying that I've known..."

"Ya, you've known her longer than me. I've known her for six months. But, you know what? Those were the most amazing six months of my life." Adam exploded standing up and leaving in a huff.

"Oh god Hayz, get back here, and fast..." Sage whispered.

Another six days had passed and it was now Monday, September 27th, 2004. Sage had yet to talk to Randy since finding out about the dinner, and Hayley had yet to be found.

Sage was sitting in the Diva's locker room alone moping when there was a knock at the door.

"Come in." Sage called.

"Sage." Randy greeted.

Sage looked up and saw who it was, "Randy." she nodded.

"Sage, what's going on? I mean we haven't talked in a week. Is everything alright?" Randy questioned.

Losing her battle to keep her tears at bay, they streamed down her face. "Randy, I.. I.. we have to break up." Sage whispered hoarsely.

"W-w-w-w-why?" Randy asked.

"We've gotten in too deep without knowing the simplist things about each other. I don't know you're parents names, I don't know where you grew up. I don't know anything about your past. You haven't even told your mom about us. It's just gotta happen. We're though." Sage whispered before using what strength she had left she ran for the door and down the hall. Sage just kept on running and running to the point where she was lost. She didn't care she ran and ran down endless hallways before running into something or rather someone. "S-Sorry." Sage managed to get out with the tears still flowing and the sobs much more violent.

"Sage whats wrong?" asked the concerned voice of Jeff Hardy.

"Jeff, I, I, I gotta go." Sage said while hitailing it to the parking lot. Sage ran to her rental and jumped in slamming the door and locking it. Doing the first thing that came to her mind, Sage called Hayley.

"Hello?" the voice on the other end questioned.

"Hayz.. I need... HAYLEY YOU'RE ON THE PHONE!" Sage screamed.

"Uh, yea. I'm almost over the kiss." Hayley smiled before she heard Sage sigh. "What's wrong?"

"Hayz, I did the stupidest thing possible."

"Are you telling me you cheated on Randy?" Hayley questioned.

"Ok, maybe the second stupidest thing." Sage cried.

"Oh, Sage you broke up with him didn't you." Hayley asked catching on.

"Hayz, I need you." Sage sobbed into the phone.

"Alright meet me at the hotel you told me you were staying at I'll meet you in your room." Hayley sighed hanging up. Sage turned on te car and drove to the hotel. She borded the elevator and walked to her hotel room. Opening the door she noticed some luggage on the floor. It had a note attatched to it. Sage read it.

'Sage, hey it's Randy here. Last minute things happened and I ended up getting in late. Sorry, but, I'll see ya at the arena.' frustrated Sage threw herself on the bed and cried more than she had done in quite a while.

Hayley soon made it to the hotel and went right up to the room Sage was in. She knocked softly and when no one answered she opened the door, noticing it was ajar. Upon entering the room she noticed that Sage was asleep on her bed, tossing and turning. She also saw Randy's luggage and saw the note. Hayley decided that she would get Sage and herself a room at the hotel so that Sage wouldn't have to see Randy yet. Hayley made her way down stairs and got the room. Turning around to go back to get Sage she heard someone call her name.

"Hayley." the voice asked in shock.

Turning around to see who it was and when she did she responded with, "I have nothing to say to you Adam."

"Hayley, please you have to hear me out. You never heard my side of the story. Please just come up to my room so we can talk this out!" Adam pleaded.

Hayley contemplated this thought for a few minutes before replying, "Okay." she nodded boarding the elevator with Adam and then walking to his room.

Meanwhile Randy was walking up to his and Sage's room. He was just going to get his luggage and leave but, when he entered he saw Sage tossing and turning. "Randy." she whimpered. A frown grew on his face, realizing that he was the cause of her pain. Sage continued to toss and turn and he knew the reason. She had become accostom to having him by her side. He had slept like that the past few days. Stroking her face to calm her down, Randy then leaned in and gave her a quick peck on the lips before whispering goodbye.

Another week had passed. Nothing much happened. Well that is a total lie. Sage took vacation time and has been in North Carolina with Jeff for the past week. Hayley and Adam had decided to take it slow, getting back together. Amy, Matt, and everyone else was still clueless about either situation.

"I'm back." Sage called into the large house of Jeffrey Nero Hardy. When no one replied, Sage took this as a bad sign and started looking for Jeff. She finally found him, almost drunk sitting on the couch. "You couldn't wait for me huh?" Sage questioned smiling. Jeff shrugged taking another sip from one of the many bottles. Sage shook her head and smiled grabbing some Jack Daniels and chugging it. About two hours later they were both drunk out of their minds.

"Hey, Sage." Jeff hiccupped.

"Yea?" she questioned.

"I love you." Jeff smiled.

"Aww, Jeff, I love ya too man!" Sage smiled.

"No, I really do." Jeff said before kissing Sage passionately.

And let's just say one thing led to another.
