Matt, Amy, Jay, Adam, Trish and Jeff were behind the arena, figuring out who was driving who to the hotel.
"Well, Trish and I have rentals, and I'm assuming that the lovebirds want to be together which means that Matt, Adam and Jay will have to come with me." Amy devised.
"Ok then. Now that's sorted, I guess we'll see you at the hotel!" Jeff happily announced, glad for the opportunity for him and Trish to get some time alone.
In Amy's car, everybody was singing along to an old Pearl Jam CD that she had found behind one of the chairs.
"Jeff doesn't know what he's missing!" Amy shouted, trying to compete with the music.
"Oh… I think he does…" Jay said, rolling his eyes. With that, they all continued to sing along, unaware that Matt was not joining in. He was too busy thinking about how he was going to ask Amy out to dinner, whilst getting Adam and Jay off their backs. He had an idea.
"Look guys," He announced grabbing everybody's attention, "I don't know about you, but I'm starved!" Everybody nodded in agreement.
"Well I think there's a Wendy's somewhere on this stretch…" Lita suggested, making a sharp right. Jay and Adam ran for it, racing each other to see who could sit down first. Amy was about to follow, but before she could, Matt grabbed her arm.
"Wassup Matt? Don't you wanna eat?" She asked, with a grin on her face. Matt motioned for her to sit beside him on the bench at the side of the road. She obliged.
"The thing is… erm… I don't know how to say this…" Amy laughed. She knew what he wanted to say, so she decided to make it a little easier on him.
"Yes, I will go out with you Matt…" She sighed, resting her arm on his shoulder. Matt was taken aback… he hadn't told anyone… except… JEFF.
"Jeff told you didn't he?" He laughed. "God, I can't tell that man anything…" Amy put her fingers on his lips, and leant in to kiss him. When they were done, she told him how she found out.
"It was a coincidence actually. I was in the locker room, complaining to Jeff about how being a wrestler made it hard for me to keep a man. So he told me. He said that he'd seen you gazing into my eyes while I was watching TV, or staring at my butt…"
"Hey!" Matt joked, leaning in for yet another kiss. Amy broke the kiss. She remembered that Adam and Jay were in Wendy's probably wondering where they were! She need not have worried. They ran in to see them both tucking in to steak and potatoes.
Meanwhile, Jeff and Trish had arrived at the hotel, bewildered as to why the rest weren't there yet. They went to the check in. A woman dressed in a smart red suit came out from the back when they rang the bell.
"Hello, welcome to The Imperial. Your name?"
"Jeff Hardy." She typed his name into the database.
"Of course, double room?"
"Yep."
"Room 1502." She handed him two key cards, one for him and one for Trish. Jeff threw Trish on the bed.
"Hold it there cowboy!" She laughed, pulling him on top of her. They went into a deep, passionate kiss.
"I missed you so much Trish!" Jeff said, stroking her hair softly.
"I missed you to baby… promise never to leave again!"
"I promise…" Jeff replied. "Now let's see what's on TV!"
They both went under the covers, taking only their shoes and socks off. On CNBC, there was a show dedicated to extreme sports stars. They decided to watch. Jeff couldn't believe it when his name flicked up on the screen! His segment went through the swantons that he'd done on people like the Big Show and Eddie Guerrero. Then, they came to his personal life.
"Lets turn this off now baby." He said to Trish.
"No, I want to watch!" she joked. The commentary started, along with some rock music in the background.
"Along with his dangerous stunts, Jeff liked his dangerous women, being linked to the likes of Courtney Love and TNA Knockout, Jackie Gayda." An image of Jackie and Jeff grinding on each other flickered across the screen. "Close sources revealed that Jeff had told Jackie that he wanted to marry her, and Jackie was once seen sporting an engagement ring, confirming that it had been given to her from Jeff. When Jeff left the TNA, so did Jackie's engagement ring…"
Trish turned the TV off and turned to Jeff.
"You never told me that you were engaged to her!"
Jeff tried to feign sleep, but Trish just shook him until he relented.
"It was a thing that I did while I was high, and I'm sorry… I never really loved her… I only ever had eyes for you…"
"So are you telling me that you made her believe that you loved her while in fact you were in love with me?" Trish asked, intrigued.
"Yeah baby!"
"Bullshit!" Trish screamed. "What if that's what you're doing to me? Maybe you're in love with Amy and you're not telling me, and making me believe that you love me… I don't think I can trust you Jeff…"
"Trish, honey…" He was trying so hard to explain, but if he was honest with himself, he never really thought abut how he had affected Jackie. He'd been so selfish back then… all he cared about was how he was going to get his next fix. Things were different now. He had things and people that he cared about… but how could he make Trish understand after what she'd just seen?
"You know what Jeff?" She said, making him lose his trail of thought.
"Yeah?"
"Goodnight."
And that was it. No argument. No tears. In a way, Jeff wished that were how things would have been, because then at least he would have had an opportunity to explain himself.
Whilst Trish and Jeff sat in an uncomfortable silence, the rest had finally arrived at the hotel. All had been allocated their rooms, and Matt and Lita were amused to learn that Vince had accidentally put them in the same room.
"Let's go loverboy!" Lita said, grabbing Matt by the arm and pulling him into the lift, where they shared yet another kiss.
"Where do they get the energy from?" Jay asked, in a trance.
"I wish that I could have a relationship like that!" Adam complained. Seeing Matt and Lita so in love reminded him of his first wife, Candice. He really loved her, but she had cheated on him, so he had to let her go.
"Aww… there there now Adam, I'm sure you'll find someone soon…" Jay said in a mocking baby voice.
"Whatever! What room are you in anyway?"
"1503. You?"
"1507."
"Ok then, I'll see you tomorrow then." And with that, Jay jumped into the lift and disappeared from sight.
