Monday Morning

"Mr. Bischoff, this is your wake up call." The voice at the other end of the phone said.

"Thank you very much." When he got up to wake Brianna he noticed the empty bed. "It is 7:00 in the morning. What is she doing up already?" After he searched the suite and found his daughter was gone he called the front desk.

"Good morning Mr. Bischoff. What can we do for you?"

"Have you seen my daughter this morning? She has…"

"Actually she asked us to give you this note."

"What does the note say?"

"It says that she has already gone to the arena and she will see you later."

"Thank you." He said as he hung up the phone. "I really need to talk to that girl."

Trask Coliseum

"John, have you seen Brianna? She left the hotel early this morning and I can't find her." Eric Bischoff asked a young wrestler.

"Yea I saw her. She went straight to the place she always goes when you two get in a fight."

"Thanks John"

"Yea, no big deal. I was gonna talk to her, but I really didn't want to get yelled at."

"What do you mean? I wouldn't yell at you."

"I know you wouldn't, but she would. She yelled at Paul when he tried to talk to her."

"I don't know what has gotten into her. I have a feeling you guys might hear some screaming."

"Don't worry Eric, I'll warn the new guys not to freak out. And besides, we all kind of miss it." He smirked as he walked off.

Eric began the hike up the stairs of the Trask Coliseum. He was looking for camera 6. When he got closer to the camera he noticed a figure crouched on the ground shaking violently.

"Brianna, we need to…um…we need…"

"JUST SAY IT DAD!" she yelled drying her eyes. "WHY DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO BEAT AROUND THE BUSH WITH ME? I'M NOT A LITTLE GIRL ANYMORE! I'M FUCKING 18 YEARS OLD!" she yelled before he could finish. "JUST YELL AT ME LIKE A NORMAL FATHER!"

"FINE, YOU WANT ME TO YELL AT YOU. I WILL! YOU DO NOT USE THAT TONE WITH ME YOUNG LADY, ESPECIALLY WHEN I AM IN A MEETING WITH 2 POTENTIAL WRESTLERS! YOU MADE ME LOOK HORRIFIC IN THE HOTEL LAST NIGHT!" Neither could believe what was just said.

"Um…wow…I can't believe it."

"What…that I would yell at you?"

"No…that I was so stupid. You don't care about anything but wrestling dad. Do you know how much it hurt when you didn't come pick me up last night? I don't want to be around mom, but at least she doesn't lie to me. She tells me the truth straight up. If you didn't want me to come and ruin things for you, all you had to do was say that. I could have handled mom and her drugs, but I can't handle you lying to me about me being here."

"Brianna…that isn't true…"

"Don't dad…I don't want to hear anymore."

She couldn't hold the tears back anymore. They slid down her cheeks as she ran out of the arena area. She wanted to hid, but there were voices in every single room. She finally found one that sounded empty. She ran in and shut the door behind her. When she turned around she saw the guy from last night staring wide-eyed at her. She jumped a little, but then spoke up.

"I'm so sorry. I didn't know anyone was in here." She said through choked back tears.

"Wait…please don't go." Jeff said as he got up to push the door shut. "I'm Jeff Hardy"

"I'm Brianna Bischoff. I'm really sorry…"

"What's wrong?" Brianna was stunned he asked. Most people didn't even bother to care because she was just a 'little rich girl' going through 'stupid girl problems'. She had only just met this guy, but for some reason she caught herself starting to explain everything.

"My dad and I got in a fight last night."

"Yea, I was there." Jeff said with a slight smirk. Brianna couldn't help it, but his smile was contagious.

"Sorry about that too." She said looking down and wiping her eyes.

"I understand…parents"

"Yea, well, um, my dad and I usually don't fight like that. I don't know why last night was so different. We can usually talk things out." She said starting to cry again

"What's wrong? I promise not to tell anyone. And it might be a lot easier to handle if you get it off your chest."

Brianna looked at the guy sitting next to her. It was the first time she had gotten a good look at him. He was around 6'1" and 218 pounds (mainly muscle). She looked up and saw the most amazing green eyes she had ever seen, she also noticed a beautiful smile, and long blonde hair. She found herself staring at Jeff, not being able to take her eyes off him.

"Well…" she started "my parents fought all the time when I was growing up. It was mainly because my dad traveled quite a bit and my mom started drinking, which my dad didn't like. They finally got divorced when I was 12. I wanted to live with my dad, but the court said I had to live with my mom because I couldn't be taken out of school. She said that my dad would never be there for me. I hated living with her because she always put on an act when people were around when in reality she was a drunk and a druggie. I think she had a different guy every night. Then we moved to Wilmington when I was 14 because my mom met a new guy, Greg. We moved in with him and I got in a little bit of trouble."

"What did you do? If you don't mind me asking." Jeff said trying to break Brianna's silence.

"Um, I stole some weed and alcohol from Greg's stash. I was in the park with some 'friends' and the cops came because it was past curfew. I don't really remember what happened, but um, my so-called 'friends' ditched me and I got in trouble. I got arrested for underage drinking and possession of drugs. I think that my mom was sleeping with the judge." She paused to see if Jeff was disgusted with her, but all she could see was a gentle, caring look.

"That's my opinion because all I got was a year of probation and some community service. Because we were on St. Mark's property, they decided that my community service would be best served cleaning the Church. After my year was up, I stayed there helping them with whatever they needed. Well, I started to spend even more time working for St. Mark's because my mom started being a real bitch to me. She actually went as far as to say that I was just a mistake on my dad's part and he never really wanted me. That's why he was never around. She said that he wasn't really working, he just didn't want me to be around. Actually, she is still saying that. I don't believe her, but just the way the past year has gone makes me get angry at him for the little things. We haven't seen each other a lot and I haven't been spending the summers with him. He has been really busy and I just feel like he abandoned me and I hate feeling this way. I want to be able to talk to him again, but I don't know how without getting mad." She felt tears forming in her eyes so she stopped.

"Maybe you have to tell him exactly the way you told me."

Jeff had been really quiet, so when he finally said something it made Brianna jump a little. She couldn't believe she had just told him that. The only other people that knew were John and Bobby.

"I don't know Jeff, it isn't that easy." He sat there looking into her eyes trying to tell her that it would be okay.

"Look, I'm really sorry that Matt and I didn't postpone the meeting with your dad last night. We didn't mind, but your dad said you would be okay with it. He doesn't know how you really feel. You have to tell him."

"Jeff, it isn't your fault that I am fighting with my dad." A knock on the door interrupted Brianna.
