"Can I get two dozen glazed donuts, please?" Kaitlyn asked the guy standing behind the counter at Krispy Kreme.

"Sure, They'll be real hot and fresh for ya." He replied with a wink.

"I think he likes you." An older woman said from behind Kaitlyn.

"Who, the Krispy Kreme guy?" Kaitlyn asked densely.

"Yes and his name is Mario."

"Nah, he's just being friendly." Kaitlyn shrugged.

"And you're being naive, honey. Don't you know when a cute guy is flriting with you?"

"I have enough guy problems in my life at the moment, I don't need some guy who only wants a good time and then he's out the door."

"Who say's that's what he wants?"

"That's what all guys want." Kaitlyn replied.

"Not all of them honey, there are actually some decent ones around you just need to open up and let them prove it to you. I've known Mario all his 21 years and he's a sweetheart. I bet you and he would make a really cute couple, give him a chance."

"Who is the woman? She doesn't know me, so what gives her the right to tell me what I need to do?" Kaitlyn thought. She was about to tell the woman just what she felt when Mario came back with two boxes of donuts.

"Here you go beautiful, two dozen glazed. Can I get anything else for you today, maybe my number?" The smile on the guys face made Kaitlyns stomach turn.

"No thanks."

"Are you sure, maybe we can hook-up this weekend or something."

"I don't think my boyfriend would approve."

"I'll fight him for you."

"Okay this guy is really pushing it now." Kaitlyn thought. "I don't think you'd want to do that you see my boyfriend is ex-WWE superstar Jeff Hardy, and he's a real jealous guy. You seem nice so I wouldn't want him to hurt you none." Kaitlyn said smiling.

"Are you serious?"

"You wanna find out?" Kaitlyn asked. The look on Mario's face as he shook his head 'no' was priceless. "I didn't think so, here's the money for the donuts you can keep the change, consider it a tip." Kaitlyn said grabbing the boxes and walking out of Krispy Kreme. "Did I just do that?" Kaitlyn asked herself as she giggled a little. It was so natural to say that Jeff was her boyfriend. If she'd stop acting like a deranged mental paitent maybe Jeff would be her boyfriend by now. It was obvious that he wanted to be with her and as much as she tried not to believe it she knew that Jeff loved her and as much as she fought it she knew she loved him, but she was scared, Christensen claimed he loved her too and look how that turned out. "Jeez Kaitlyn, Jeff's not Christensen. Jeff is honest and decent and caring. Christensen was a lying, manipulating, abusive, son-of-a-bitch. So what does this mean, are you gonna tell Jeff how you feel? Yes...No...definitley Yes, but not today. I'll take Elyssa her donuts and then I'll make up an excuse to leave. I'll tell Jeff tomorrow. Yeah tomorrow." Kaitlyn said as she drove off in Jeff's direction.

"Kaitlyn guess what?" Elyssa said running out to Kaitlyn's car.

"What?"

"The phone call from this morning, it was Bella. One of the girls broke her leg over the weekend and I'm going to be her replacement." Elyssa said excitedly.

"That's great Elyssa, that means that you'll be spending a lot of time at the gym, yeah?"

"Yeah, but I don't mind. I'm just so psyched about getting this chance."

"I'm very happy for you Elyssa. Here are your donuts, but don't tell Bella that you had them, k?"

"K!" Elyssa said taking the box from Kaitlyn.

"Enjoy them."

"You aren't gonna stay and have some?"

"No, I have to go."

"Go where?"

"I'll see you around the gym." Kaitlyn said avoiding Elyssa's question. She saw Jeff walk to the door and her heart began beating a thousand beats per second. "I gotta go E, tell Jeff that I'll talk to him later." Kaitlyn said driving off.

"What did you do to upset Kaitlyn this time Jeff?" Elyssa asked angrily.

"I didn't do anything this time E I promise."

"Then what's wrong with her?"

"She has some things that she needs to work out for herself, when she does I'm sure she'll be herself again."

"Are you sure?"

"Honestly E, i'm not sure of anything anymore when it comes to Kaitlyn Ryan." Jeff said as he and Elyssa walked back into the house.

Kaitlyn stopped at the gym and dropped of the second dozen of donuts.

"Katie! What do we owe this pleasure?" Bella asked when she walked in.

"I just stopped in to bring you a treat." Kaitlyn said handing Bella the box of donuts.

"Glazed, my favorite. You really do love this old man, no?"

"Of course I love you Bella." Kaitlyn said kissing his cheek. "Now I gotta get home I haven't fed Kona today."

"Ok, Bella see you soon?"

"Yeah I'll be back in a week maybe sooner."

"Then Bella get you back to strict training, no?"

"Sure Bella." Kaitlyn laughed and walked back out of Karoli's Kids.

Kaitlyn has been home no more than an hour when she heard her doorbell. She couldn't figure out who'd be stopping by since no one had called and told her that they were. She paused on the steps for a second. "Jeff?" She thought to herself. "But why would he come here? Maybe he wants to know why I ran away from him earlier, maybe he's here to tell you that he's done with you and all of your games. You'll never know until you open the door." Kaitlyn said finally walking to the door. The face on the other side was one that Kaitlyn didn't recognize. "May I help you?" Kaitlyn asked.

"Kaitlyn Ryan?"

"Yes. That's me."

"You've just been served." The man said handing her an envelope before walking away.

"Wait a minute. What is this?" Kaitlyn yelled after the man but he was already getting back into his car. After closing the door Kaitlyn slowly opened the letter. It was a subpoena. She was to be in court at 9 am on the 16th of June. Today was the 14th. "Christensen, that mutherfu..." Kaitlyn trailed off. She wasn't going to let this get to her. She wasn't going to let him get to her ever again. She picked up her phone and strolled through the caller id until she came upon his name. She dialed the number and waited for him to answer.

"Kaitlyn, I had a feeling that I'd be hearing from you sooner or later." Christensen said cockily.

Kaitlyn could see his smile through the phone. He thought he'd won but Kaitlyn had a surprise for his him. "I guess you got me Christensen. You subpoenaed me, very clever. I just called to tell you that you are still the man." It took everything in Kaitlyn not to puke. She bit her tounge at Christensen's next comment.

"I'm glad you realize this and after all of this mess is settled I'll be your man again."

"Well see about that." Was all Kaitlyn said. "I have to go Christensen, see you in the courtroom." Kaitlyn said hanging up. "Boy is his ass in for a surprise." Kaitlyn smiled to herself as she thought about what would happen in that courtroom, she just hoped that it worked with as litte reprecussions as possible.

Kaitlyn backed out of her word and the next day instead of telling Jeff how she felt about him she avoided him like the plauge. He had called three times and she would even swear that she had heard him at the front door, but she hid under her covers until it was silent again. The next morning Kaitlyn dressed in one of the few dresses she owned. It was a light blue Prada dress that Bella had given her last year for a dinner that she attended with him. She arrived at the courthouse at 8:45 and was told to 'take a seat' until her name was called. Her stomach was in knots she didn't know if she could do what she had been planning but she was sure that she couldn't help Christensen get off. The baliff called Kaitlyn at exactly 9:13, Kaitlyn knew this because she watched the hall clock the entire time.

"Do you swear the testimony you are about to give is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you god?" The baliff asked as Kaitlyn rested her hand on the bible.

"I do." Kaitlyn replied.

"Please state your name for the record."

"Kaitlyn Ryan."

"Miss Ryan, you are friends with my client, correct?" Christensen's lawyer, Sam Barringer, asked.

"No, I'm not actually."

"But you know him?"

"Oh yeah I know him alright." Kaitlyn said staring at Christensen, who wasn't looking as confident as he had been when Kaitlyn first walked in the courtroom.

"You were living with Mr. Doolittle during the time in question, correct?"

"Yes I was."

"And during the time in question, February 2003, did Mr. Doolittle leave the States at anytime?"

"I plead the fifth."

"You can't do that Miss Ryan." Mr. Barringer said. "You must answer the question."

"No." Was Kaitlyn's reply.

"Miss Ryan, answer the question." Judge Fitzpatrick said.

"I can't do that."

"You can't or you won't?"

Kaitlyn didn't answer.

"If you don't answer you'll be held in contempt and i'll put you in a cell right now." Judge Fitzpatrick said.

"Christensen Doolittle abused me for months, beating me for every little thing that I did all because I wouldn't have sex with him. I'd rot in prison before I helped him." Kaitlyn blurted out.

"Objection your honor." Barringer protested.

"Miss Ryan just answer the question asked, no other comments are neccessary."

"Did you all know that I was only fifteen when he moved me into his house. Yeah fifteen and we slept in the same bed. He said I was his girl, isn't that illegal, moving a teenage girl into your home when your thirty years old?" Kaitlyn just kept talking even as the judge pounded his gavel on the bench. "He told me lies all the time and treated me like shit." Kaitlyn said.

"That's it Miss Ryan, you are in contempt. Baliff get this young lady out of here. You can go home after you pay a five hundred dollar fine."

"I hope you rot." Kaitlyn said to Christensen as the baliff escorted her out of the room. "I'm ready to make my phone call now." Kaitlyn said after sitting in the cold and dirty cell for half an hour trying to calm down.

"Who you calling?" The cop asked.

"A friend."

"Fine but make it quick." He said unlocking her cell and showing her to the phone.

"Please answer." Kaitlyn said as the phone continued to ring. After about the sixth ring someone picked up.

"Hardy Here."

"Jeff, it's Kaitlyn. I need a favor." Kaitlyn said sheepishly. She was gonna call Bella but decided not to worry the old man. Jeff claimed he loved her, now she was gonna see just how much.

"A favor. You avoid me for two whole days and now you want a favor?"

"Jeff shut-up and listen okay. I need you to come and bail me out. I'll pay you back I promise."

"Bail you out? What the hell have you gotten yourself into?"

"I'l l tell you after you come and get me...will you come and get me?" Kaitlyn was almost in tears but fought them back, she didn't want to show fear in front of these cops.

"I'll be there as soon as I can." Jeff said.

"Thank-you Jeff. I owe you one." Kaitlyn said before hanging up.

Jeff was there in no time and Kaitlyn couldn't have been happier to see him. She embraced him in a hug and kissed him lightly on the lips before practically dragging Jeff out of the jail house. "I know you want to know what that was all about."

"Just tell me one thing, did you kill someone?" Jeff asked jokingly.

"Jeff!"

"Sorry, you were saying."

"It had to do with Christensen. He had his lawyer subpoena me and while I was on the stand I kinda pissed off the judge."

"So he threw the book at you?" Jeff laughed.

"You're enjoying this aren't you."

"Yes, It was funny seeing you behind those bars."

"Yeah well keep it up and you'll be seeing me there again."

"Yeah, what charge?"

"Domestic Violence."

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me, It wouldn't look good telling all of your buddies that your girlfriend beat you up."

"Girlfriend?" Jeff pulled the car over and stared intensely at Kaitlyn.

"Don't tell me that you don't want me now, I don't think I could take it."

"Kaitlyn what are you saying?"

"Jeff do you still love me? I mean after the way I've treated you."

"Of course I do Kaitlyn."

"Good because I love you too, it just took me a while to realize that."

"Kaityln..." Jeff was speechless.

"I'm sorry I've been so stupid and stubborn."

"Forgiven." Jeff said staring into Kaitlyn's eyes.

"So are you gonna kiss me or do I have to do all of the work today?" Kaitlyn teased.

Jeff leaned over and kissed Kaitlyn gently on the lips. "You wanna go finish what we started a few days ago?"

"What about Elyssa?"

"She's at the gym. All day practice."

"Then why are we still sitting here? Whose house is closer?"

"Doesn't matter I can get to either in about two minutes."

"Let's go then." Kaitlyn had barely finished her sentence before Jeff floored it and as promised he was pulling into his driveway in record time.
