A/N: I got an A in graphics! Ain't ya proud. Ah well, you know that I'm not a McMahon so I don't own anything that you've seen before.
Chapter 4. A sign of things to come.
"Jodie get your ass outta bed!" Brooke yelled, from somewhere outside of the covers that Jodie had wrapped tightly around her body.
"Nope."
"JODIE GET UP NOW!" Mel started pulling at the covers.
"No, no, no, no, oh and NO!"
"Jodie, don't make me get it." Jodie's head immediately popped out from the covers.
"You wouldn't dare." Jodie's hair half covering her face, staring down a smirking Brooke.
"Right, that's it! I'm getting the hose!" Mel began to walk out of the room.
"I'm up! I'm up!" Jodie sprinted past Mel nearly knocking her down.
Mel and Brooke joined Jodie in the kitchen a few minutes later. Both of them falling into fits of giggles when they saw her.
"What?"
"Have…. have you looked…. in a mirror yet?" Brooked managed to say in between her giggles.
Jodie walked out of the kitchen and into the living room. Seconds later she screamed causing Mel and Brooke to laugh even harder.
"She's gunna kill Jeff." Mel whispered.
Jeff climbed out of the back seat of John's latest rental.
"I hope ya know that Jodie is gunna have your head when she finds out what you did to her." John chuckled as they pulled off the driveway.
"Yeah, she's gunna be mad." Randy flipped through different radio stations in the front passenger seat.
"Nah, she'll love it deep down." Jeff smiled as he pulled out a packet of skittles and began to pop them into his mouth while staring out of the window.
A few minutes later Randy spoke up, breaking the silence between the men.
"Ah Jeff, she's doesn't look happy to me." Randy pointed to a fuming Jodie who was standing, still in her pyjamas from the night before.
"Oh crap." Jeff ran a hand through his colourful hair as he got out of the car. "Jod-" Jeff started.
"Jeffery Nero Hardy I am gunna kick your ass all over that beach!" Jodie yelled as she tackled Jeff to the grass beneath them.
"Guys! A little help please!" Jeff managed to say while he attempted to hold Jodie's hands away from his face and hair.
"Man, I warned you not to mess with a girl's hair, but do you listen? Do ya hell."
"Randy's got a point you shouldn't have dyed her hair purple." John said trying not to crack up.
"Arr, thanks guys, thanks a lot." Jeff managed to roll Jodie over onto her back. "Woman! Are you finished with your little hissy fit? Good, now I like ya hair it suits ya. Now get ya ass up them stairs, work ya magic and get ready for the beach."
"One question."
"Shoot." Jeff answered as he pulled Jodie up to her feet.
"Is it manic panic?"
"Maybe."
"I hope you know that I am going to dye your hair black and shave your eyebrows and your legs in your sleep." Jodie stalked away, back into the house.
"See guys I told ya she'd love it." Jeff smiled walking past an amused Randy and John.
"Don't you guys get any ideas from him." Brooke leaned against the front door frame.
"Yeah, because we aren't as soft as Jodes." Mel grinned evilly.
"Jodie are you ready yet?" Jeff whined at the bottom of the stairs.
"Patience, dear Jeffery, is a virtue." Jodie said as she walked down the stairs in black surf shorts, a purple bikini top, with her newly purple hair pulled back into a messy bun.
"Lets go baby girl!"
The pair walked out of the girl's beach house and down the steps that led to the beach. The beach had always been Jodie and Jeff's favourite place, and Jodie considered herself lucky to be living less than ten metres away from sand. Jodie lay down on the blanket that she had brought with her while Jeff hunted around in his backpack. After about five minutes Jodie got the giggles as she looked over to Jeff and saw that he had his head in the bag.
"Jeff, what, in the name of god, are you doing?"
"Skittles. Lost the god damn skittles." Jeff grunted from inside the bag.
"Here, have mine." Jodie threw him a bag of skittles, which he caught with one hand, even though his head was still in the bag.
"You coming in the sea?" Jodie said standing up.
"Yeah, I'll be in there as soon as I've finished these skittles. You go on." Jeff said opening the bag too quickly causing it to rip and skittles fly in all different directions. "Oh crap." Jeff whined.
Jeff watched happily as Jodie walked down the sand and entered the water. He saw some guy swim over to her. The guy started talking to her and that's when jealousy swarmed over Jeff's body.
Jodie started laughing at the chat up line this stranger had just pulled.
"That bad, huh?"
"I'm sorry but you really need to quit with the bad lines, how about trying 'hi my name's-' hold on what is your name?' Jodie asked tilting her head to the side, trying to remember where she had seen his face before. He was without doubt familiar, he had a gorgeous body, alot bigger than Jeff or Matt, or any of the wrestlers she knew. And he had big brown eyes that most girls could fall into deep trances in, but not Jodie.
He had the same big brown eyes. This stranger was reminding her of him. The one man she was promised she'd never see again.
Jeff saw that Jodie was getting nervous, slightly afraid. He could tell easily, she was holding her left shoulder with her right hand, and was rubbing her left hand over the scar on her right side. Jeff got in the warm water and swam out towards her. Jodie was sat on a little man mad platform, kicking her feet gently in the water.
"Jeff!" She yelled when she saw him. She looked absolutely terrified now, she was shaking slightly and her breathing was wobbly. Jeff jumped up onto the platform and sat behind Jodie so that she was sat in between his legs. She lent back, leaning her head on his chest listening to his heartbeat, drumming steadily behind his ribcage. While she sat she began tracing her hand over his tattooed calf. She was felt safe here, now, with Jeff to protect her.
"Hey Jeff." The stranger spoke up, this made Jodie feel slightly better, if said stranger knew Jeff than she would be safer.
"Whoa Danny is that you? Hey man, how you been?" Jeff began talking to this Danny.
"I'm fine just gone through the year from hell, and I've got my girl for the summer. How about you?"
"Well I'm signing back with the WWE for a trial period, this little one here," Jeff said tickling Jodie.
"I am not little!" Jodie protested.
"Ya right, you aren't small, ya fun sized. Anyway, I just met up with Jodes the other day. I've the little rebel since high school. Anyway Jodie "
"JODIE?" Someone yelled from the beach.
"I think that's Brooke and Mel, come on we better go. See ya later Danny." Jodie said quickly as she slid off the platform and back into the water.
"See you later Danny." Jeff jumped back into the water and swam on to catch up with Jodie, who was now running up the beach towards the two girls.
"Jodie." Mel and Brooke had been crying, mascara stained their cheeks. Terror spread across both of their faces. And blood, blood splattered their t-shirts.
"Its him. He's back." Jodie whispered.
A/N: Oooooooohh! Look at that, I have a little cliff-hanger for ya! Not really a big one but there you go. Enjoy, R&R and chill.
