Chapter 8: Jeff's not as bad as we thought…
Author's notes: Phew. Well, I'm sorry that I've been taking so long, but yes…I've got an account on FictionPress as well now. I'll post the url in my profile later. Two of my stories will by transferred onto there, because I don't think they're fanfictiony enough. Don't worry, they won't be the wrestling ones. All right, so here we go. Oh, a couple notes otherwise, some of the stuff from Raw I'll keep, but others I won't…Enjoy!
Callisto sighed as she watched Raw on the television. Maeve walked in and smiled. "So, Callie Bear, who are we facing tonight?" Maeve… pregnant and still wanting to get in the ring. It was Lita all over again. Callisto's former Step-mom, had given Maeve advice. Except Maeve hardly listened. She needed to calm down and get out quickly. Callisto didn't want a clone of the Lita catastrophe.
"We don't face anyone tonight. It's Christy and Stacy against Trish and Molly."
Trish Stratus came out with Molly behind her, and the two walked down to the ring. As soon as Trish entered, she grabbed a microphone.
"So here we are, the first match of the Women's Tag Title Tournament. And here I am, facing the Playboy Sluts. But the Playboy sluts are nothing compared to the White Trash Bride." The crowd jeered, and as Trish raised the microphone one more time, the lights went out. Getting Away with Murder blared, and lightning bolts and pyros exploded at the top of the ramp.
The lights returned, and no sign of Maeve and Callisto. At the top of the ramp that is. The crowd cheered, and then Trish and Molly decided to turn around. Turning, they inched closer to the two pissed off forms of Callisto and Maeve. Quickly they grabbed their opponent's throats, and glared, giving them chokeslams. The crowd cheered once again then jeered, as the forms of Christian, Edge and Tyson Tomko ran to the ring. Both Maeve and Callisto knew it was a trap.
As they came into the ring, Callisto baseball slid out and grabbed a steel chair. As Christian and Tomko were headed towards Maeve, Edge grinned over at Callisto. Callisto glared in reply, and saw that Christian gave Maeve the Un-Prettier. That only made her more angry. Edge grabbed one side of the chair, and Callisto raised an eyebrow. She slightly moved her grip on the chair and did a high risk thing. She somersaulted over the chair and caught Edge in the head with her combat boots. Edge crumpled down, and Callisto stood.
"OH MY GOD! Did you see that JR?"
"I sure did King, and lets look at that again! It seems that Callisto flipped forward and landed on Edge!"
"That's crazy! She could have killed her legs, but she did it anyway! She's going after Christian! LOOK OUT! Tyson Tomko just hit her in the back with his own chair!"
Callisto felt her back crack, and she grunted. Tyson rolled her back into the ring, and Christian set her up for the Un-Prettier, but she countered it with a low-blow. Tyson hit her in the back of the head with Edge's 'Money in the Bank' suitcase. The crowd booed, and no one even slightly expected what was to happen next. Not even Callisto.
Jeff Hardy's theme blasted through the arena, and down he came, hitting Christian and Tomko and kicking them out of the ring. He went over to Callisto and went down on a knee.
"Are you okay?"
Callisto snapped out of her daze as she heard his voice. Jeff? No, it couldn't be. However when she looked up, there he was, the same look in his eyes that was there all those times. Callisto shrugged him off and stood up, giving Jeff a questioning look. The crowd was having a very mixed reaction, and all Jeff did was nodded at her. Callisto nodded back at him, and rolled out of the ring, getting Maeve, who was just as confused as Callisto as she saw Jeff.
The two walked backstage, and one of the interviewers came up to them.
"Callisto! Callisto!" She turned and was joined by the Coach.
"What do you want?"
"Do you know why Jeff came to the rescue?"
"That's an idiotic question." Callisto turned, but Coach kept on asking questions.
"What about Randy Orton? Are you two having troubles in your relationship that he didn't come out?"
Callisto stopped for a moment, then whirled around and grabbed Coach by the throat.
"One more word, I'll snap your neck." Coach nodded, and Callisto let her grip go.
"That wasn't necessary, you know." Maeve said as they walked into their locker room.
"Yeah, it was. I hate that guy more then I loathe Trish."
Callisto stopped as she saw a basket of flowers and a note.
I still love you.
-Jeff
The flowers were blue roses, Callisto's favorite. Callisto wiped a tear from her eye, and she turned to Maeve.
"They're from Jeff."
Maeve's eyes widened, and she looked at the note.
"Wow. I never expected this as well. You would've thought that he just would've tried to make himself look like a puppy from helping us back in the ring."
Callisto sighed, and let a couple tears fall.
"Oh, hun, I'm sorry. I just don't want you getting hurt again by him. Are you sure he's serious?"
Callisto shrugged again.
"I'm never sure, it seems."
A knock came at the door, and Callisto walked and opened it.
"So now you show up." Randy massaged his forehead, and looked at her, sadness on his face.
"I'm sorry. I got sidetracked."
"Oh, right, you're shoulder." Callisto smirked.
"Well, since you seem so sidetracked, I guess we shouldn't be caring so much about each other, right? Listen, you go and heal your arm, but until then, don't think that I won't forget what you did to Stacy. She trusted you, and there ya go, giving her an RKO. What makes me think that you won't do that to me when you think I'm not needed?" Randy was shocked, and Callisto smirked.
"Exactly." She slammed the door in his face.
"Callisto? Are you all-" Maeve couldn't finish as Callisto grabbed her stuff and left.
Callisto went out to her car, and heard someone calling after her. She turned and saw her future brother-in-law, John Cena.
"You need to talk?" John asked, and Callisto nodded, starting to bawl.
"It's just all this shit with Randy and Jeff is really giving me stress. Maeve's pregnant, you're getting married, My Mom-" Callisto bit her lip, and John's eyes widened.
"What's wrong? Did you're mom give you another message?"
"She gave me a call a couple days ago. She says that she's going to see us when we get up to Calgary, so I'm a little stressed out. I have no idea what Maeve will do when she sees her again."
"By the way, I'll be there with you guys, so if Jeff tries anything, I'll beat the living shit out of him."
Callisto chuckled and hugged John.
"Maeve's lucky to have a guy like you, John."
Callisto sat in her hotel room, trying to get the massive migraine out of her system. She turned on her discman, and let her music blare into her ears. As she felt a couple tears go down her face, a knock came at the door.
"Who is it!"
"A package for you, Miss Jacobs!" Callisto sighed as she turned off her music and got off her bed, opening the door.
"Any idea who's it from?"
"They asked to remain anonymous, Miss Jacobs." Callisto bit her tongue, and nodded.
"Hum. Well, thanks. She grabbed a couple bills from her pocket and handed it to the messenger.
Callisto closed the door and sat back on her bed, opening up the package. It was a videotape. She slid the tape into the VHS player, and watched the screen go from black to a room, and it focused on a specific person. Celine; Callisto and Maeve's mother.
"Hello, Callisto. Good work tonight, I'm glad that you killed Trish Stratus once again. So here you are, coming home. I'm glad about that too. Since you may be going on a date, I will leave you alone. But, if it's all right with you, I hope I can come see you at Raw. Tell Maeve if you want to, that I'd like to speak to her if she will have me. I miss and love you and your sister always."
Callisto turned off the television and hugged her knees.
What am I going to do? Callisto thought, eyeing the videotape and then decided to go onto her laptop. She opened up her MSN, and saw two familiar people on, two that she had not talked to in a while.
SyKoKiTtY says: hey hows it going Callie? Long time no talk!
Callisto says: No kidding Katie! I've missed you!
SyKoKiTtY says: Ditto! So I watched wrestling!
Callisto says: What do you think?SyKoKiTtY says: Well, I think you should give him a chance!
Callisto says: Who? Randy?
SyKoKiTtY says: No! Jeff! He's more your type, trust me!
Callisto says: Well lookie here, he's on.
SyKoKiTtY says: He's the guy for you, you just don't believe it! Now go and talk to him before I royally kick your butt!
Callisto says: Fine, Fine, whatever. Hope to talk to you again soon!
SyKoKiTtY says: I command you! GO!
Callisto says: Later!
Callisto smiled at her old friend Katie. They went to High School together in Calgary, and they were almost as close as Maeve and herself! It was a good time whenever Maeve got back from her special school; Callisto still didn't know why she had to go to a different school then her, but oh well. It seemed only a short while ago Maeve and herself had entered the Wrestling Business, and the one person that Callisto always saw in the front row was their friend Katie.
Callisto grinned at the memory, then saw a new e-mail. She went and opened it, and saw it was from Jeff. Callisto saw it had an attachment, so she scrolled down the page. There was a photo of the first time (On Camera) that Callisto and Jeff kissed. Callisto felt a little warm, and she grinned again.
I hope this reaches you well. I'm sorry if I was acting a small amount weird today, so I've sent you this to cheer you up. I'm hoping that me and you can still hang out when you go to Calgary. Luv ya lotz
-Jeff
Callisto smiled, and sent this back to him:
Thank you for cheering me up. I've been having some rough times lately, and I agree with you. Talking would be good for us. Thank you for helping me tonight.
Luv you too.
Callie Bear.
Author's ending notes: Well there we go! Will Callisto fall for Jeff once again, or will Randy Orton be able to win her love back? What will happen when Maeve meets her mother again for the first time in over a decade? These questions and more, in the next chapter of Family Matters.
