"Welcome to another exciting night of Monday Night RAW is WAR!" She heard her dad's voice followed by some familiar music. Then she saw a guy walk out. She listened to the crowd and all she heard was boos. She couldn't believe that John Cena was back on RAW. She was always impressed with how this guy could be such an ass on TV, but incredibly nice as soon as the camera was off. She had been friends with John for 4 years now and she had trusted him a lot.

The night went on with nothing special until she heard music she had never heard before. She watched the screen and saw Matt and Jeff enter the arena. As she watched the match she began noticing that a lot of people really didn't like the Hardys. She watched in amazement as the Hardys tried their extreme stunts. After the match, Brianna ran to the dressing room that Matt and Jeff were using hoping to congratulate them both, but especially Jeff. She ran into a couple wrestlers on the way and stopped to say hi to each of them. She finally reached the room and knocked on the door.

"Come in" a voice yelled. As she opened the door she noticed that Jeff was the only wrestler in the room. He was lying on a table getting his neck massaged by the trainer.

"Hey Jeff, that was a great match. I haven't seen people wrestle like that for quite awhile. It sucks that you guys lost."

"Thanks Brianna. It was so amazing out there. I have never felt that much anxiety, nervousness, and exhilaration in one moment. I don't care if we lost or won…it was so amazing." Brianna smiled. She didn't understand how this one guy could just take over her thoughts.

"So, um, do you think we could talk? I mean, unless you are busy or something. I can just leave…" Brianna felt weird asking, but she really liked talking to him.

"No, yea of course we can talk…" he turned to the trainer.

"Thanks" after the trainer left Jeff went and sat on the couch motioning for Brianna to follow. When he turned around she noticed him wince a little. She grabbed a bag of ice and sat next to him.

"Here, put this on for 20 minutes, then off for 10, and then on again for another 20. It always seems to help John."

"Thanks" he said as he positioned the ice on the sore part of his neck and leaned back.

"So, you and Cena are good friends?"

"I'm good friends with a couple wrestlers, but it is more like a brother/sister relationship." Jeff shook his head.

He sat staring at this girl who he had met 2 hours before and he couldn't help but wonder everything about her. She was 5'7" with brown eyes and straight brown hair that went to the middle of her back. She wasn't his normal 'type', but he was attracted to her. He knew little facts, but it wasn't enough. All during the match his mind would wander to her. 'Was she watching? Did she ever want to see or talk to him again? What happened between her and her dad? What happened with her boyfriend? Were they going to get back together?' He figured that she would never come talk to him again. He thought she would ignore him like most girls do. Most girls think he is strange, but he must have been completely wrong about this one. He had asked a couple guys what they thought about her and they all had nothing but good comments. He only knew a couple of things about her but he could tell he was starting to fall for her.

"So what's up? Did you get in a lot of trouble?"

"I got in some trouble, probably not as much as I could have. I got my cell, my music, and the TV taken away but with some exceptions."

"How old are you?"

"I'm 18…why?"

"And your dad is grounding you?" Jeff asked surprised.

"Yea, I know I'm old enough that he can't really ground me, but I kind of deserve it and I am living under his roof." Jeff nodded his head in understanding.

"Do you mind if I ask you some questions?" Jeff felt bad for asking, but he was curious. Brianna saw that he was uncomfortable with asking her which made her feel even more comfortable with him.

"Sure…I don't mind."

"Okay, my first question, please don't feel like you have to answer, what happened with you and your boyfriend?"

"Um, we met in high school. He was a popular baseball player. We didn't talk freshman year and then started talking sophomore and junior year. I started developing a crush on the guy. He was so nice and sweet. He asked me out at the end of our junior year. We dated for a little over a year. We just broke up on Friday, but I knew it was going to be over soon."

"Why?" She smiled. "If you don't want to…"

"No, it's fine. I need to talk about it sometime. Um, for the last 6 months, he has been pressuring me to have sex with him. And I decided a couple years ago, I was going to wait until I got married. Well on Friday I was watching RAW from that Monday and he came in and tried it again. We got in a fight which made me tell him that I knew he was cheating on me. He said that he was because I wasn't giving him any. He said that we never had anything in the first place because I was just a bet. I thought he actually liked me. I thought he actually cared." She started crying. Jeff felt bad for bringing up the subject so he pulled her into a hug.

"I'm so sorry Brianna. I…please…shhh." He said trying to get her to stop crying. "It's okay, he's a jerk. You don't deserve that, no one does. I promise that not all guys are like that."

"I know and I also know that it isn't your fault. I have wanted to cry since Friday and I know not all guys are like Jack." She smiled up at Jeff.

He was still hanging on to her and vice versa. When they realized, they both let go and sat on opposite sides of the couch. They continued talking about everything, but Jeff could tell that there were some things that Brianna wasn't telling him. Around 11 there was a knock on the door.

"Come in" Jeff yelled. The door opened and Eric stuck his head in.

"Hey Jeff, have you seen Brianna?"

"Hey dad…why don't you come in? I'm right here."

"Oh, well Sharon and I want to get on the road. Are you ready?"

"You're leaving already? The show just started." Eric looked at his daughter.

"Brianna, the show has been over for an hour."

"Oh, I guess we lost track of time. Sorry Mr. Bischoff." Jeff said hoping that his boss wasn't mad that he had been talking to his daughter.

"Don't worry about it Jeff. Sharon and I just finished getting ready. Nice match tonight and don't worry, the crowd will back you up eventually."

"Thanks Mr. Bischoff. It was so amazing."

"Well, Brianna, are you ready to go. We have a 9 hour drive ahead of us." Brianna looked up at Jeff who was up throwing his ice bag away.

"Yea, I guess so. All my stuff is in your office. Will I see you at the next place Jeff?"

"Yea, of course…that is if you want to." They both smiled which did not go unnoticed by Eric.

"Well, then, I guess I'll talk to you later." Brianna began walking out the door only to be stopped by her dad.

"Um, actually, do you have room in your car Jeff? Sharon and I have a smaller car than we thought we would and we have some things in the back seat. It will probably get a bit crowded. Maybe Brianna could ride with you. Unless you are sick of her or something." Brianna glared at her dad and then looked away embarrassed.

"Yea, I have room in my car and I am not sick of her. Do you wanna ride with me?"

"Yea, I would love too." Excitement was plastered on their faces.

Eric was happy that his daughter was getting over Jack. He never liked or trusted him. He also knew that Jeff was a nice guy and would never try anything like Gary did. And if anything happened, he knew a lot of guys that he could help him make Jeff's life a living hell.

"Okay, you two be careful." Brianna rolled her eyes.

"Don't worry Mr. Bischoff, I'll be careful."

With that they all got in the cars and started the 9-hour trip to Trenton, New Jersey. Jeff and Brianna followed Eric and Sharon until Eric decided he couldn't drive anymore as they neared Emporia, Virginia. They pulled into the nearest hotel.

"If you two want to keep driving that's fine with me. We can meet you up there." Jeff looked at Brianna and then back at his boss.

"Well, I'm not really tired yet. I'm still pumped up. If you don't wanna come…"

"I'll keep going with you. Hopefully I can stay awake to keep you awake." So they hopped back into Jeff's car and continued their trip to Trenton. Around 4:30, Brianna started to doze off. She tried everything she could think of to stay awake.

"Brianna don't worry about trying to keep me awake. You've had a long day and I don't mind if you sleep. Besides, I think I'm going to pull off soon." Brianna was going to fight him, be he cut her off.

"Tomorrow night I will probably need you to keep me awake. So get some sleep now." She nodded her head and soon fell asleep. She woke up an hour later when she felt the car slowing down. When she finally opened her eyes they were in front of a Comfort Inn.

"Morning" he said smiling. She smiled back.

"Sorry this isn't the Wilmingtonian, but Matt and Amy got me a room here. Well, Matt and I were sharing, but he decided to sleep in Amy's room. I figured that I should at least sleep a couple hours. We only have 3 hours left, but I am getting tired and I need a break."

"Where are we?" Brianna asked wiping the sleep out of her eyes.

"We are in Washington D.C."
