Chapter Twenty One:
Words can cut like a knife, it was too soon. Too, too soon. But no, one death after another.
Jessica was lying down on her bed, typing away on Bella's laptop, she was sending an email while chatting in yahoo messenger to her computer friends Jessica C, Leanne, Sierra and Kristen who had no idea she was Razor from the WWE. They were in a conference and all WWE fans. She laughed as she began to type a response. Her cell phone vibrated, making her jump. She pulled it out from her pants pocket. It was Misty, she typed a quick 'brb' before answering the call.
"Hey, Mist. What's up?"
"Jess…" Misty sobbed. "She's gone."
"What? Who's gone?" she asked, softly.
"Melinda got into a car accident. She didn't…make it." Misty began to sob loudly.
"It's going to be okay, baby." She heard a male voice said and knew it was Kennedy.
"Ken's right, Mist." Tears formed in her eyes as they made there way down her face. "It'll be okay."
Soon Jessica began sobbing as well. She and Misty began talking about Melinda and all that jazz when her phone beeped. She looked at it, they have been talking for 2 hours and 41 minutes when her battery had gotten low.
"Misty, I'm a have to call you later. My battery is low."
"Okay, love you Jess."
"Love ya too. Bye." She hung up the phone and put it on the charger. She returned to the computer to see Kristen had left the conference. Jessica C, Leanne and Sierra however were still there.
Jess: Back.
JC (Jessica C): Welcome back, where were you?
Sierra: Welcome back, it's about time.
Leanne: Lol, what they said. I'm listening to Cute is What we Aim For.
JC: That band rocks, I'm listening to the 69 Eyes.
Leanne: OMG! You know how much I love them, especially Jussi.
Jess: Thanks, lol. Ha, of course. The 69 Eyes rock. I just got bad news.
Sierra: ….bad news? What happened? Are you okay?
JC: What's up?
Leanne: …What is it?
Jess: Ya know that new WWE diva, Melinda?
Leanne: Muah, I don't like her.
JC: Ditto.
Sierra: She's okay, I'd like to see her wrestle more though, did she get released or something?
Jess: She got into a car accident…she didn't make it.
Sierra: Wow, that's sad.
JC: I don't know what to say. She wasn't exactly my favorite wrestler but…wow.
Leanne: Yeah, wow.
Jess: I know, I was on the phone consoling my friend, she is heart broken about it and so am I. Melinda was such an amazing person, and to see her go like this is wow. Especially so soon after Ella.
Sierra: Who's Ella?
Leanne: Isn't she Razor's little sister?
JC: That's what I thought.
Jess: Yea, it's such a terrible loss though. I don't know how Melina, Misty or Razor will take it.
Sierra: I know, they'll probably take it hard.
Soon, Jess heard Nero call her.
Jess: Girls, I have to go. I'll talk to y'all later.
Before they could say bye, Jessica signed out. New tears fell down her face as she went to the bathroom and took a wash rag and began to wash her face. Once she was done she raced down stairs.
"Jessica?" asked her parents looking at her in concern.
"What's wrong?"
She rolled her eyes. "Melinda, she got into a car accident. She didn't make it."
"Oh, baby!" called her mom as she stood and went to hug her daughter.
"I know, it's so tragic. I just, feel like a bad friend because when I got into the WWE, you know. I didn't really talk to her. I feel horrible." The hug broke.
"It'll be okay, Jess." Jessica heard a southern accent from behind her and turned. "Jeff!" she called with excitement and went to hug him. She placed her lips on his and they began to make out until someone cleared his throat and she heard an "Eww!"
She broke the kiss and smiled. She looked to who cleared their throat and seen Matt. She smiled and then hugged him.
"I hope you won't kiss me like you did Jeff."
She hit him in the arm. "Shut up!"
She looked at them confused. "What are you guys doing here?"
Nero rolled his eyes. "Isn't it obvious, they're here for me."
"Hardys day out." Jeff spoke, Jessica giggled.
"Okay, then. Is this an over night thing?"
"Yes, my lady."
"Well, Nero. Go pack some stuff. Take Matt with you. Jeff, can we talk in the kitchen?"
"Sure."
Once Jess and Jeff were in the kitchen Jeff was sitting down in a chair while Jessica was trying not to laugh at how innocent he looked.
"I hope I'm not in trouble. After all, I didn't do anything."
"You aren't in trouble," she laughed. "I was just wondering when I was going to spend some time with my baby. Alone, overnight."
Jeff smiled and stood up, he walked to Jessica and wrapped his arms around her waist. "Soon, very soon. How about this weekend."
"I'd love that." He leaned down and they kissed, his hands rested on her ass.
"Not in front of the baby." A voice said coming into the room.
Jeff and Jessica broke apart and looked at who came into the room. It was Bella holding a sleeping Nicolette.
"Did she have a good time?" Jess asked whispering. Bella had taken the baby for a stroll in the park.
Bella nodded. "Yeah, I'm going to put her in the crib, then get a bottle ready. No doubt she'll be waking up soon, she's been sleep for nearly two hours."
Jessica nodded and smiled. "Want me to put her in the crib?"
"Yes, I'm going to take a bath! Oh, I have to tell you!" Bella shirked loudly waking up Nicolette who began to cry. "Aw, Cole, I'm sorry." Cole was Nicolette's nickname.
"I'll get her back to sleep." Jessica replied taking Nicolette from Bella's arms.
"Okay, I'll bring up a bottle."
"Okay." Jessica kissed Nicolette's forehead as she leaned against her chest, still crying. "Come, Jeffery…come." Jessica laughed.
"So, now I'm your dog?" he asked mocking her.
"Nope," Bella answered before he left the room. "You're her B to the itch."
----
Once Jessica reached Ella's room which was acting as Nicolette's nursery until Jessica got her own house (she sold her one in New York and moved her stuff to storage).
She sat in the rocking chair and began to rock back and fourth. Nicolette had stopped crying as Jessica began to sing a song.
"The kiss sweetest
And touch so warm
The smile kindest
In this world so cold and strong
So close to the flame
Burning brightly
It won't fade away
And leave us lonely
The arms safest
And words, so good
The faith deepest
In this world so cold and cruel
So close to the flame
Burning brightly
It won't fade away
And leave us lonely."
Jeff smiled as he looked at Jess rocking Nicolette while singing HIM's "Close to the Flame".
"Mom! Can you help me find my bagel PJs!?"
Jessica looked to Jeff. "Can you hold her?" she whispered.
He nodded and walked over to the chair. Jessica stood and then placed Nicolette into his arms.
"Thanks, Baby!"
-----
Once Jessica left, Jeff had no idea what to do. He had never been around a baby. He sat down in the chair and sat still. He guessed he was supposed to rock her as it was a rocking chair. He leaned back into it as Nicolette looked up at him with curious eyes. He smiled down upon her. His green eyes met blue as Nicolette let out what seemed to be a giggle and a bubbly smiled. She yawned.
Jeff smiled as he began rocking in the chair. "Hush Little baby, don't say a word. Daddy's going to buy you a mockingbird." Jeff's voice trailed off. He had no idea what came next. "And if that mockingbird don't sing… Daddy's going to buy you a wrestling ring. And if that wrestling ring gets old. Daddy's going to buy you something gold. And if something gold breaks. Daddy will bake you a cake. And since that cake won't turn out great. Daddy's going to buy you a Barbie house with a gate. And if that Barbie house with a gate doesn't fit your needs. Daddy's going to grow you a garden and plant some seeds. And if those seeds don't grow. Daddy's going to…get you tickets to a wrestling show. And if that show turns out bad. Daddy will have failed as a dad."
Jessica, Nero, Ella and Matt was standing in the door frame.
"That will never…ever, ever happen." Jessica said coming into the room. She had tears in her eyes. One tear made it's way down her face as Ella came into the room with a bottle and took Nicolette from his arms. She winked at him.
Jessica looked at Jeff and grabbed his hand, helping him up. She then pulled him out of the room and down the hall to her old bed room.
He looked around. "Haven't been here in a long time…after all. This is where Nero was conceived."
She giggled. "It was, remember. My parents were gone for the weekend and the twins were at Grandma's in New York for two weeks. It was summer vacation so no school."
"Just, you, me and the wrestling ring to train."
Jessica didn't laugh, however. "I lost my virginity in a wrestling ring."
Jeff stopped laughing and kissed Jessica on the lips. "I remember, after all I was there."
"Yeah, you may have been there but we all know who was on top and had someone, you screaming my name."
"You weren't that good."
"And you were?" she scoffed.
"We can relive that and see who was better." He leaned down and their lips met. He than pulled of Jessica's shirt as she bit her bottom lip. He took off his shirt and then he got on top of her as they began to make out.
----
"Nero!" Nero heard his grandma yell as she came into his room. "Phone, it's Misty she wanted to talk to you."
Nero smiled and took the phone, he looked to Matt who was sitting on his bed. "Matthew, please. I have a very important phone conversation about to go on."
Matt raised his eyebrow and laughed before leaving the room.
"Hey, Misty! I've missed you so much!" Nero sat on his bed.
"I know, I missed you as well…which is why I want you to come stay with me for a while on the road. I want you to meet Kennedy."
"I've met him once."
"Well, he and I are dating and…"
"You want my approval?"
Misty laughed. "Yes, that's exactly what I want."
"Okay, well. I say that I will come. But when?"
"You can go with your mom to the funeral and then I'll take you with me."
"Are you parents going to be there? I don't like them." Nero spoke.
He could've sworn he heard Misty mumble "You're not the only one."
He shook it off.
"Yes, they're going to be there. Hey, can I talk to your mom? To let her know?"
"Sure." Nero replied. He got off his bed and walked to Jess's room. He opened the closed door without knocked. He gasped as he dropped the phone and let out a scream. His hands immediately went to his eyes.

A/n: Hey, everyone! Haha, love the ending didn't you? I loved this chapter. Melinda simply had to die because she was replaced by Misty in the beginning of this story, lol. So, that was an amazing chapter. You can REVIEW and tell me what you think. Next chapter, Hardy Boyz day out (I think...Im not sure), the funeral (Which I just realized the first 3 letters spell fun...well, this one wont be fun) from hell and more!
