Chapter 13

Later that night, back at her hotel, Rachel paced around nervously waiting for Jeff to arrive from the arena.

Where is he? Its not like Jeff to forget things? What if he's with Trish? Rachel thought panicking as he late. She glanced at the clock it was 11.30pm, she grabbed her cell, ran a hand through her hair and dialled Nora's number.

"Damn it! Shane I told ya I was busy…" Nora yelled annoyed at being interrupted from her romantic evening.

"Nora! Nora! It's me Rachel! Have you seen Jeff?" Rachel asked feeling slightly sick.

"I seen him at the arena before I left, why? Is something wrong? Do you want me to come up?" Nora asked concerned for her friend.

"Babe? Who is it?" Jay called from the background.

"It's Rachel, look I'll be up…" Nora began.

"No! Look Nora I'm just being stupid that's all, listen you go back to your romantic evening with Jay I'll call you tomorrow."

"Well…if you're sure your ok." Nora replied reluctant to let her friend go.

"I'm fine, bye." Rachel lied then hung up.

Nora sighed as she hung up and Jay came up behind her and kissed her neck she softened at his kiss then he took her phone switched it off.

"Jason I'm worried about her, maybe I should go up you know what Rach is like.." Nora began then he gently grabbed her arm and replied softly,

"Nora. You heard Rachel yourself, she'll be fine."

She looked at him and smiled then she kissed him lightly on the lips. She giggled as he picked her up and carried her to bed.

Half an hour later Jeff came out of the elevator, he had a huge bust up with Matt and Amy. He was sickened with Amy and Matt's intentions of betraying the WWE and joining the WCW. When Amy squealed to Matt that Jeff was seeing Rachel behind his back he was livid. The two brothers had a huge argument which ended up in a fight. Matt had a huge black eye and his lip was burst. Jeff however was not so lucky since he was against both Matt and Amy who hit him with a chair on the left leg which caused him to limp. Matt punched him so hard in the face his upper lip was cut and his left eye was slightly swollen.

Jeff dragged himself to Rachel's hotel room and he was about to knock on the door when he figured her door would probably be unlocked so he let himself in. Rachel who changed into a black nightie stood looking out of the window her arms folded.

"Ok Hardy you better have a good reason for making me…" Rachel began chuckling angrily as she turned to face him however her expression changed, her eyes widened in horror at the sight of him as he shut the door and limped towards her.

"Jeff…" She began but he fell onto the bed.

She rushed over to him and helped him lie onto the bed. He winced as she gently stoked his face.

"What happened to you?" She whispered tears forming in her eyes as she pulled his boots off.

"Matt and Amy…he found out about us and well he wasn't too happy." Jeff groaned as he moved over slightly so she could sit beside him.

"I'm so sorry I never meant for you to get hurt." Rachel apologized as she helped him undo his pants and she grabbed an old t-shirt so he could wear it to bed. She choked back a sob when she saw how black and blue his leg was.

"Amy hit me 4 times…funny I'm supposed to be tough but I got beat up by a woman, I didn't hit back my momma taught me never to hurt a woman." Jeff chuckled as he slipped the old t-shirt on.

Rachel smiled and kissed his forehead she loved him so much and she couldn't wait for him to meet her parents. Shit! They were supposed to be going away tomorrow!

"Holy crap! I forgot we're supposed to be going to Chicago tomorrow! Look I'll call my mom and cancel the whole thing…" Rachel reached for her cell but he grabbed her arm and forced her to look at him.

"Look at me Rach, you've met my dad and I've been looking forward to visiting your parents so I'm not gonna let a couple of bruises and a cut lip stop me from going." Jeff told her and she cried, tears a mixture of happiness and sadness. He smiled and wiped the tears away from her face. He wrapped one arm around her and she cuddled into him.

"Ssssh baby gurl don't cry everything's going to be ok I promise."Jeff whispered into her ear.

She looked up at him and gazed into his green eyes then the two shared a passionate kiss before Jeff yawned and his eyes closed. Rachel lay awake for a few minutes before snuggling against Jeff and falling into an uneasy sleep.

"Rachel! Rachel! Damn it lazy wake up!" Jeff said shaking her gently,

"W-What? Jeff! You're up, what time is it?" Rachel yawned and sat up.

"5.30 but the flight is at 9am we have to drive for an hour to get to the airport." Jeff told her.

Rachel noticed he was fully dressed- he wore a pair of faded blue jeans and a white t-shirt, he wore a pair of old black Converses and then he flung a grey hoodie and his CD player into a holdall.

"All set." He grinned then he frowned as he realised he forgotten something.

"What's up?" Rachel frowned but smiled slightly watching him.

He didn't reply his face lit up and he grabbed a huge packet of Skittles he shook them and grinned as he flung them into his bag.

"Oh God! Not the Skittles!" Rachel playfully groaned.

"Just think, we'll be sitting on that plane for 2 hours." Jeff reminded her smirking and she flung a pillow at him. It hit him on the stomach.

"Ow, Meanie! Imagine hitting a poor defensive man!" Jeff told her pretending to be shocked.

Rachel smiled then stretched as she got up and tidied the bed he wrapped his arms around her waist and held her close.

"I love you." Jeff told her as he kissed her neck.

"I love you two Jeffy now lemmie go get ready." She grinned as he let her go and she grabbed her clothes and proceeded to the bathroom to get changed.

2 hours later they were at the airport. They were waiting for the flight to O'Haire Airport. Rachel wore a red vest top and baggy denim jeans and an old pair of Nike trainers. They were hardly any people around so they sat down drinking coffee.

"Man it's so quiet." Rachel commented as a small group of people stood waiting or boared other flights.

"I know I'm kinda glad there aren't any fans here." Jeff told her and she pretended to be shocked.

"Jeff! I thought you loved your fans!"

"I do! But It's too early for me to be signing autographs." He whined and she laughed.

Later at 8.40 am they were called to board their flight. Once they got onboard and settled Jeff opened his bag of skittles. He passed her a handful she looked at him as he shovelled the sweets into his mouth.

"So your ears don't pop! Duh!"

She laughed at him then eat them then they took off and an hour later they were both asleep.
