It was odd how country music could influence me, then again when you like all types of music it's possible that any of them would influence you. Can't Go Back, by Bon Jovi and Cassandra Neddles made me realize something, I can't go back to the time that I had left behind but I can find it again. So I was making a big sacrifice with going home with Matt.

Jeff looked up from his hammock swing while strumming on his guitar when both his brother and friend Shane Helms walked around his house. Then he nearly fell out of the hammock when I ran passed the two older men with dogs on my heels. I didn't see Jeff because the sun blinded me and I eventually ran smack into him. Us two went falling to the ground while the dogs tried to lick my face off and smell me at the same time.

"Off!" Jeff yelled, and strangely the dogs backed off. "You, too, witch." He shoved me off of him and I lay on the ground momentarily before getting up. "What are you doing here?"

"I came to relive my past." I stated brushing off the dogs that were jumping all over me. "Off! Good dogs." Looking at Matt I sighed. "You didn't say he still hated me."

"I didn't want to bring up bad memories."

"That's just it, memories, that won't hinder me in any way. Well I came by to tell you that I'm forgiving you for all the hate crimes you pulled on me."

Jeff stared at me. "All those dirty tricks, the pranks, the name calling and the fact that I attacked you on numerous occasions, you come here to forgive me? Why?"

"Because I know deep down in your multicolored heart that there was always a kind person even if you acted like a skinhead. Even if you still hate me I'm still telling you that I forgive you off all the nastiness that you pushed upon me. In fact if it weren't for you hating me I still would think that you were a human."

His green eyes looked me over. "Listen maybe I was a little harsh earlier. I just the night when you were shot I saw something, something that I will never etch out of my mind."

"I know what you saw because I saw them too."

"What did you see?"

"They were indicating death, not in a literal sense but in a figurative manner. Death of a hate towards me, or death of a friendship and if I'm correct you and Mr. Levy were never on good terms after that."

"He thought I had hired someone to shoot you, which I would never do in my life. Trust me I'm not that shallow."

Just then a woman walked up to us, her brown hair that was slightly curled. She looked at me and smiled instantly.

"Oh wow, so you're the diva that Jeff's been taking a liking to."

"Wait I thought you hated me."

"Hated your religion, you're far better with your wrestling skills that I am now."

I shifted my weight. "Why don't you get back into it?"

"I'm more artistic now, than a wrestler." He wrapped his arm around the woman. "This is my girlfriend Beth. Beth, this is Amaris, remember I was telling you about our history."

"Jeffery Nero Hardy, you dip shit!" Beth pushed him away from her. "How could you ever treat a fourteen year old like that? You damn near killed her with that kendo stick."

"Please, ma'am." I raised my hand to interject. "It's all forgiven, it's in the past. I've learned from him that I should keep my enemies as close as possible, fighting skills that have proved useful in matches during my OVW days." Just then my cell phone rang. "Excuse me, friend of mine calling."

John was on the other line. "Homie, you better tell me everything."

"What are you talking about, Cena?" I asked walking away from the group.

"Well I gets a call…"

"John, use proper English. You know how I hate how you like to talk that way sometimes."

"What ever." He growled slightly. "Are you really dating Matt Hardy?"

I rolled my eyes. "Not really, as of yet, we've only gone out on a couple dates seeing as how we're coworkers and all. There is this storyline floating around the writers about putting me in a relationship with him, seeing as how him and that other diva broke up because she's going to the OVW."

"Damn it, I thought you were keeping yourself for bird boy?"

"Mr. Levy isn't coming back, John. I am going to move on with my life as best as I can do. Even though I love him with all my heart I don't think he's going to be coming back into my life."

Jeff stood there staring between his brother and me. "You and her are dating?"

"We're still trying to work it out." Matt replied. "With Ash and I done, I figured I could try it with her, since we have known each other for a long time. Hell Jeff, she's friendly with Adam and Amy, even if Adam hates my guts. You know how close they were."

"Yeah, you should have seen them at a meeting between both brands. Amy was laughing at Amaris, who actually had Adam in a side headlock. It was pretty funny laughing at their antics. Adam was even civilized around Matt for once." Shane added. "She really wants him back, you know."

Matt looked at his feet. "I still feel alone, you know. Nobody to love or nobody to love me."

"Hey Matt, forgot to tell you, a friend of mine in LA is coming on tour with me. She's a witch too so you'll have to suffer with two on the road for a while. I got her an interview with Mr. Long about a possible masseuse for the wrestlers." I walked up while putting my phone back in my pocket. "Shane, when are you coming back to the ring? I still have that match against you to do."
"Don't remind me." He covered his face with his hand. "You have some nasty punches."

Jeff almost was ready to attack me. "You punched Shane?"

"No, it's the guys that I do it to. Attacked JBL, as the script said, and my fake punch became a real punch. That booby prize of his, Jillian Hall, has had it out for me since day one. No one really likes me because of my religion but I'm not going to let that bring me down." I petted one of the dogs that were sitting at my feet. "So anyway, I'm guessing you've heard the storyline about the Smack Down Diva Championship contest. It's going slower because as you know Smack Down only has like three other divas, not including me. They are putting me in cruiserweight matches just to see how people like it."

"How are people taking it? I mean you being a witch and all." Beth asked as we all headed inside for something to drink.

I sat down at the table with Matt next to me. "Still a lot of controversy, I freak people out sometimes. Other times it's amusing to see how people stare at me as I carry a staff in one hand and while doing photo shoots I'm handling ten-foot boa constrictors, amongst other things."

"What other things?" Jeff asked.

"Mr. McMahon and I have a contract saying that I dress the way I want to dress and now how he wants me to dress. I have more morals that most of everyone in this business. I'm the only one willing to put my body in weird situations. Meaning I favor natural based things, from animals to out door shots. I've taken photography in my high school days and know that in order for pictures to work you have to capture emotion. So I'm trying to capture my passion for my religion and how I look at things. Speaking of, I'm scheduled to do a photo shoot for something totally different."

Shane was the one to ask this. "I heard you have a comic book coming out."

This time I did laugh. "That's what it's about. I've been made into a magical she-elf warrior. They're getting me to do different things because this is like Inu-Yasha where he's traveling around with his friends; that is what it's about. So their having me posing for different scenes and things."

Jeff handed me a cup of water that I had requested. "How is your personal life becoming?"

"I've been trying to keep up with my religion if that's where you're getting at. Traveling and witchcraft don't usually give a girl some time to do things that she wants to do but I live with it. I've become a sort of celebrity amongst the Pagan society, and even non-Pagans like me now. Whenever I go home I'm going there is a big bag of mail that I have to go through. Good thing Cora is there to help me go through. Every once in a while I'll get some hate male. Truth be told, sometimes I miss the road."

"Do you know if you're going to be getting the Diva championship?"

"Actually I'm not, because they have something else in mind." I smirked as Shane groaned. "Shane is going to be loosing his belt to me."
"You have got to be kidding me!" Jeff exclaimed almost spitting out his drink. "No one has done that since Jazz was released."

"They're going to put me in a storyline with Melina and MNM. After that I'm still not sure."

I didn't say anything for a bit. "Hey Jeff, are you and I friends now?"

Jeff didn't exactly know what to say. "Maybe. I mean you are older and you have your right to beliefs. It was my fault that I hated you for being a witch, now that I know you mean absolutely no harm to anyone. But I guess if we start over then I guess there is nothing wrong with us being friends; you are a cool person and all plus you have some great qualities that I like."

I smiled at the man. "Thanks. There is one thing I have to ask you, Jeff. Could you please, pretty please, teach me how to ride a dirt bike? The only time I'm ever really extreme is in the ring, outside of it I'm too busy with other things to really get on things like motorcycles."

Smiling Jeff stood up, "Come on, I'll introduce you to my stash."
