Chapter 16

As the morning sun spilled onto Jeff's face and awoke him it was already 10 o' clock. "Damn" He whispered as he stared into the flashing green lights of his alarm clock. He turned over and realized Trish wasn't laying next to him. There was a small note upon her pillow, which still held the indents of where she was laying.

Jeff,

I had a lot of fun last night. I'm sure you did too. I woke up early this morning a little confused. It's not everyday in my life that I wake up to a man with blue hair! Even so, I love it. I walked to my room so no one would be suspicious. Call me when you wake up!

-Much love,

Trish

He smiled. Trish Stratigias and Jeff Hardyin love. Who knew? He slipped on his jeans that had been laying on the floor and let them hang loosely on his hips. Soon, the surrealism hit himand hard. Looking at himself in the mirror, he realized that everything was real. The feelings, the image, the sex, the love. It was all real. He remembered the note. She had told Jeff to call her when he woke up.

With clumsy movements he crawled over the bed and reached for his cell phone. On the front flashing at him it read 'One Missed Call'. He listened to the voice mail, thinking it was Trish. Instead, it was Matt. "Jeff? Why aren't you answering your phone? You're in your hotel room, right? I hope you didn't loose this damn thing again-" In the background he could hear Amy, causing him to smile a little. "Matt? Why are you yelling at him?" "Shhh, hold on, hun. Anyways-Jeff, I could have swore I saw Trish walking to her room this morning, was she at your place last night? Cause if she was-" Once again, Amy interrupted. "Matt! Leave him alone!" "Sorry, hun. Anyways, I gotta go, Jeff. Call us back as soon as you can." The click signaled Matt had hung up. Thank God for Amy, Jeff thought.

He decided to call Matt later and dialed Trish's number. She answered soon after the first ring. "Jeff?" "Yupp, it's me." "Hey, baby!" "Hey. How are ya, Doll face?" "I'm a little tiered," she yawned. Jeff laughed. "Hey, did Amy or Matt call you this morning?" She paused. "Yeah, Amy called me and asked me where I was since I didn't answer my phone-" she laughed "-I heard Matt trying to say something in the background about seeing me walk to my hotel room earlier. I guess I'm caught." "Matt called me to, and he said the exact same thing." He laughed. "Ya know? I think they're on to us." "We'll just say we were talking and fell asleep. Even though we didn't do much talking last night." "You're evil." He grinned as he jumped off the bed and went to run the shower. As he heard her laughing response, he decided it was time to end the conversation. "Trish hun? I'm gonna call Matt before he gets and more suspicious. Then I'll stop by your hotel room after I get ready, so I can say good-bye." "Alright, Jeff. Love you," He smirked. "I love you too, Trishbye."

As he grabbed his stuff and walked out of his hotel room, with one hand he dialed Matt's number on his cell phone. "Jeff?" "Yeah?" "It's about damn time you called!" "I'm sorry, man. I'm on my way out of the hotel right now, where are you?" "You haven't left yet? Jeff, we left hours ago! What the hell were you doing all morning?" "Chill out, I was sleeping." "Sleeping? Jeff-" The sounds coming next were ruffled, but clear enough that he could tell Matt and Amy were fighting over the phone. Of course, Amy had won. "Hey, Jeff." "Hey Ames." He said smiling. "Don't listen to Matt, Jeff. We left only a little while ago. We're at a small diner a few miles away from the hotel. If you hurry, you can join us." "Sure, sounds great, man. Butummwhat about-" "Trish? Invite her, too!" "Okay, Amy. We'll see you soon then." She gave him directions and hung up the phone. Just as the click signaled she was off, Trish emerged from the hotel room.

"Who was that?" Her voice was muffled due to the fact that she was pulling her heavy luggage through the door way. "Matter, Amy. They want us to meet them at a diner a few miles away from here." She looked up at him with a smile. "Sounds great,"

Once again, they took separate cars. Since Trish didn't know the way, she followed Jeff for a few miles until they arrived at the diner. The airport where they would separate for the first time since they were together was only a few miles away. And each of them were dreading every minute of it.

Casually, he slipped his arm around her waist as they walked inside and looked around for Matt and Amy. When Amy had said 'small diner' she meant it. It was crowded, and there was barley any room to move.

"Matt," Amy said as she rubbed her elbow against his upper arm. "Look-" she pointed in the direction of Jeff and Trish. "Aren't they cute?" Matt smiled as he watched his little brother lean over and whisper in his new found girlfriend's ear, causing her to smile and laugh. "Yes. And I never saw I comin'." They both continued to watch Jeff and Trish as if they were their proud parents. Jeff buried his face in the sweet aroma of her hair as she wrapped both arms around his waist. Once he lifted his eyes up, he noticed Matt and Amy sitting at a booth admiring them from a distance. Trish looked up at Jeff and followed his gaze over to them. A smile spread across her face as Amy both waved and winked.

"Good-morning, guys." Trish said as she approached the table. "More like good-afternoon." Matt corrected with a laugh. "Sorry, Jeff slept in." She replied looking over at Jeff who gave her an innocent face in return. As Jeff slipped in the booth next to Matt, Trish followed sitting next to Amy. "This is a nice place," Trish said contently as she looked around the diner. "Isn't it though? Matt and I figured it was a great place for you two not to get noticed." She practically gave herself whiplash as she turned to look at her red-headed friend. "Oh, God, I never even thought about that!" Amy laughed. "Yeah, I figured that on how you and Jeff were caboodling over there in the corner," A rosy blush stained Trish's cheeks. "Sorry," Came her reply.

The red and black haired couple watched as Jeff and Trish hugged each other tightly and said good-bye outside the diner. "I don't know how they're gonna pull this one off," Matt said as he crossed his arms over his chest. As Amy shot him a questioning look, he began to explain. "Look-neither of them want anyone to really know about them to together. But, look at them! They can't keep their arms off each other." "And that's a bad thing?" "No-well, yes in some ways. People are going to find out-and fast. It's hard enough to believe that they're a couplewhich I still think about all the time. But….just look at them, Amy." "Yeahisn't it beautiful?" Matt shot his girlfriend a look in diss-belief. "Did you hear anything I just said?" "What? Oh, yeah, hun. I was listening." Matt snorted and continued to watch as Trish gave Jeff one last lingering kiss before getting into her rental and speeding out of site.

"You okay, man?" Jeff looked up. His only brother was standing above him with a worried look upon his face. "Yeah" He replied as his glanced at the ground. They were sitting at the airport awaiting their flight. "Trish on your mind?" "Of course," Jeff managed to laugh a little. "Sometimes, Matt, when I really think about itI think I'm dreaming. I mean, is this real? Am I really dating Trish? I just broke up with Beth, and here I am with Trish Stratigias." "Jeff-if you need some time alone I'll talk to Trish and we'll all give you some space-" "No!" Matt gave his younger brother a questioning look from his abrupt answer. "I love her, man, and I've had plenty of time off. I don't wanna take the chances of loosing her." "Jeff-you weren't really talking all last night, were you?" Jeff turned his head and smirked at his brother. "No" "I didn't think so. ButI do think it's about time you and Trish talk some more." "Thanks, Man. Tell Amy I said hi." As Jeff sat up and began running away, Matt called after him "Jeff! Where the hell do you think you're going!" "To Canada!" He yelled back in reply.

Jeff sat quietly in his home back in North Carolina. He was planning on going to Canada to talk to Trish, and also to spend a weekend with her, but Matt and eventually Amy had talked him out of it. Instead, he was sitting home alone having a little Jeff Hardy time. Home was so quiet now. Of course, there were the dogs and all the animals were scurrying around. But it had been a while since he'd lived alone.

Quietly, he got up and went outside to work on his backyard. To him, there was always something a little therapeutic about doing that.
