Chapter 5

Jeff & Matt's Room

Jeff lied. Jeff didn't have anyone new in his life, but he didn't want to ever hurt Trish again, so he said he had someone new, Jeff could see that Trish would have taken him back, and given him another chance before he told her that lie. Jeff didn't want her to end up hating him, if he screwed up again. So thats why he lied.

Truth is, Jeff loved Trish with all his heart, but he hated himself for their baby's death. Trish didn't blame him, but he did blame himself. He never wanted Trish to be hurt again, thats why he lied.

Matt walked in the room, and sat down on the bed across from Jeff.

Matt: Why did you lie?

Jeff: I don't want to hurt her again Bro, so I thought the best thing to do is lie.

Matt: Man she loves you, you love her, I know you won't hurt her again

Jeff: But what if I have problems again, no one will understand and I can't put Trish through all that again, she wouldn't understand.

Matt: Did you ever tell her of your problems? Or did you just assume she wouldn't understand?

Jeff: Lay off okay, I did what was right

Matt: Your decision was wrong, we all have problems Jeff

Jeff: Well I don't want her to think of me as one of those people who have addictions or problems...

Matt: Jeff, you are blind and stupid, if Trish really loved you, she would have helped you overcome your problems you know that right?

Jeff: No I didn't know that, but I am doing whats best okay...

Matt: Whatever Man, you always make the wrong choices

Jeff: What the hell is that suppose to mean?

Matt: Just like I just said, you have given up on Trish, you think she is another girl who will hurt you and break your heart just like Beth did.

Matt knew he said the wrong thing, Jeff just got quiet... and he stared out the window...

Matt: Sorry Jeff, but you got to let Beth go, its over with, she is gone, it wasn't your fault man

Jeff: Then why do I feel so guilty huh?

Matt: I don't know, but you did not kill Beth

Jeff: I did. When she found out me and Trish were engaged, she went and killed herself, I do feel guilty I do.

Matt: Why, you guys were broken up?

Jeff: But you don't understand she was my best friend since high school, we had all these plans together, when I broke up with her, her world was shattered, I feel responsible for her killing herself

Ashley walked in the room, and went to Matt and hugged him, he hugged her back, Matt walked over to his brother, and gave him a big hug.

Matt: I really think Trish needs to know all of this, I am serious Jeff, Trish is a wonderful woman , she would understand, she is like the sweetest diva in the WWE

Ashley: Hey...

Matt: Honey, you are great too

Ashley: I know, I was teasing, I agree with you, Trish is the sweetest, she was so great when I first arrived here, she welcomed me to the WWE with open arms, unlike some other people ...coughcough Amy...

Jeff: Guys, I just want to be alone, please

Matt: Okay, well we are heading for the restaurant, we'll talk later, Don't get too depressed Jeff, or I will stick some people on you

That made his brother smile, Matt gave his brother another hug, Ashley gave Jeff a hug and they then left the room.

Meanwhile, Trish's Room

Trish is laying on her bed crying, her eyes were all wet and red, she was crying over Jeff once again. She sighed, she was over this, she was over Jeff for good. She quickly sat up, wiped her eyes, and then she heard a knock at the door.

Trish pulled herself together, checked in the mirror, all you could see was her eyes were blood shot but that was it, she walked to the door and opened it.

There stood Trish's best friends, Torrie & Steph.

They walked in and gave Trish a big hug, they all went over and sat on Trish's bed.

Torrie: How are you doing sweetie?

Trish: I'm fine I have to be, I mean I will have to work with Jeff from here on out, so I have to be fine

Steph: Maybe I can talk to my Father and get him to fire that bastard

Trish: No Steph, Jeff isn't mean, I was naive to believe that Jeff wanted to be "Us" again, he isn't a bad guy

Torrie: Sweetie, you are such a sweet heart but I agree with Steph this time, he hurt you again, I think Jeff should be gone from the WWE

Trish: No, really, Jeff is fine, I am fine with working with him, I'll be okay, you know, Miss Stratus is a Strong girl

The women laugh, Steph and Torrie give a big hug to Trish once again, and they stare out the window, they see Jeff taking a walk on the beach.

Steph: That asshole(she muttered)

Trish: Steph please

Steph: Sorry I just don't want him to hurt you again which he did, so I think he deserves to be called asshole

Torrie: For some reason Trish is sticking up for Jeff, so he must have some good qualities Steph

Trish: I still feel there is more to the story of why Jeff left the WWE, but he won't tell me, and Matt won't say anything, but Ashley just told me last night, there was more to the story that I didn't know.

Steph: Wonder what thats suppose to mean?

Trish: I don't know, but sometimes if you ever look at Jeff, he looks sad, and depressed

Torrie: Its probably because of the drugs he was on

Steph: Yeah, thats why I heard he left the WWE

Trish: I don't believe he was on drugs, not at all, I think it was something else

Steph: But what?

Torrie: And why won't he tell you?

Trish: See thats what I don't get, Jeff knows he can trust me but he won't tell me anything, he shuts himself up, and he got moody a lot before he left me, and left the WWE, I wish I knew.

Someone knocked on the door, Trish looked at Torrie & Steph wondering who could it be now... Trish slowly walked to the door, and opened it, there stood Ashley, and Matt.

Matt: Trish we need to talk, we need to tell you the truth about why Jeff left the WWE

Ashley: Girls you may stay, but PLEASE do not tell anyone else, okay...

Steph: I knew it , Jeff left because of Drugs

Matt slammed the door and glared at Steph for a second, and Ashley held Matt back.

Torrie: Woah Steph , don't just open your mouth and say shit like that, it looks likes its not true

Trish: So thats not why Jeff left?

Matt: No, and everyone spreaded those lies around WWE saying Jeff did drugs thats why he left or was fired, but those are lies...

Trish: Okay Matt, why Did Jeff leave the WWE and Me?

Matt looked at Trish, and he started to reply, when there was a loud bang on the window, it was Jeff, and he looked pissed...

Matt: Oh Shit

Trish: Come on Matt tell me

Jeff ran in the room, and pushed Matt outside, they started to have a fight, Matt was winning , but just one punch by Jeff knocked Matt down.

Jeff: You promised me you wouldn't tell her? Promise me you won't tell her Matt

Matt: I promise

Jeff walks away, leaving Ashley to run to Matt and help him up he was bleeding from the mouth, Trish , Torrie and Steph looked shocked, they all realized Jeff was insane or either that, a monster...

Trish:(whispering to herself): What the hell is wrong with you Jeff, and why did you leave Me and the WWE?
