A/N: So, this would have been up last night, but I sorta fell asleep, lol. Enjoy!


Chapter Eleven:

Jeff drove silently through Vass. North Carolina, on his way to Whispering Pines. He truly didn't feel like driving that late at night, but knew if he didn't Coral would stop trusting him and it seemed if he lost her trust, she would completely lose it. He had to keep that trust, no matter what.

He arrived at two-thirty, seeing Coral on the steps. Inside, he could see Shannon peeking out, an angered expression on his face. Slowly, Jeff made his way to the blonde girl. "What happened?" he demanded.

"Nothing," she muttered, standing up. "Just take me out of here."

"I can't help you if you don't tell me what happened, Coral."

"I don't need help. I need out of his house," she answered bitterly. "Please, Jeff."

Jeff wondered why he had to be her savior suddenly. He felt almost used by her, even though she was showing her weaker, quieter side. He knew how she could be and he knew she was just as guilty in the fights that happened between her and Shannon.

"C'mon," he muttered, waving his hand. "I don't know where you want me to take you."

"Virginia."

Jeff nearly choked on air. "Virginia? Why do you need me to take you to Virginia?"

"My ex-boyfriend is there."

Jeff sighed. "Coral, I can't take you to Virginia."

"Why not?" she asked quietly. "I need—"

"My help has limits," Jeff continued. "I work for the WWE, Coral. I just can't disappear for two days or something. I have to be back on the road tomorrow."

"So take me with you," she offered. "I won't—"

"I can't."

"So drop me off in Virginia along the way."

"Coral—"

"Jeff," she pleaded quietly, fear in her voice. "I need to get to Virginia. I don't care how. I'll walk if I have to. Please."

The agony in her voice was killing him, but his job as a wrestler lurked in his head. "We can't go now," he said finally. "I have a Smackdown taping tomorrow. We can go Wednesday… I'll take off work."

Coral's face lit up. "Really?"

What was he doing? Jeff couldn't believe he was agreeing to the plan at all! Coral couldn't… he shouldn't have agreed. What was he thinking? This girl was just so… ugh. Jeff gave up with his internal fight. "Yes," he sighed. "But until then, you're going to have to deal with Shannon. Until Wednesday because I leave a eight and I need some damn sleep, girl."

Coral nodded. "Okay, fine."

"So go back inside and—"

"Can I stay at Matt's house with Beth?"

"No."

She pouted. "But—"

"If you don't stay," Jeff warned. "I will not take you. It's one day, you deal with it." If he was going to do the crazy deed, the girl was going to listen to him.

Coral nodded again. "Okay… I guess."

"Good girl. Now go back inside and go to sleep. I'll see you on Wednesday."


A/N: Wednesday starts some draaaa-maaa! Read and review and update I shall. :)
