CHAPTER SIXTEEN

A Bad Break Up

March 28, 2007...

Darien had thought about what she was going to do and she made her choice. She decided to dress in a pair of blue jean shorts, a pair of cowgirl boots, a cowgirl hat, and a red tank top that said 'country gal' on it. She decided to head down the stairs.

Shawn looked up from reading his bible. "Well where are you off to looking like that lil lady?"

Darien smiled. "I was going out to the stables to ride my horse of course Uncle Shawn. Then maybe talk to Lance for a minute."

"Oh you just be careful then darlin I don't want you falling off of your horse."

"I know Uncle Shawn I will be very careful." She said leaving the house.

Shawn shook his head.

"You know Shawn I see you worry more and more about her she will be fine. She knows what she is doing. Besides last night we had a great talk with one another. It is kinda nice that she can come and talk to me."

Outside...

Darien got on her black horse and road up the road to Lance's house. He had bought one for the both of them to live in. She got off of her horse and went up the stairs. She knocked on the door.

Lance came to the door. "What is it baby?"

"Lance we got to talk."

"Wait a minute. You're thinking about breaking up with me aren't you?"

"Lance please listen to me. I am breaking up with you."

Lance's eyes flashed with anger. "WHY ARE YOU BREAKING UP WITH ME?!"

"Lance I just don't feel the love I use to feel with you. I am sorry."

"You're sorry?! You are going to be sorry! Who is in your life now hm?! Who the fuck is it?!"

She took a deep breath. "I knew it was a bad idea to come and see you Lance. Why do you think that I am thinking about seeing someone else?!"

He slapped her across the mouth. "I know who it is. IT is one of the Hardy boys ain't it. I knew that Jeff kid didn't like me. I don't know who his brother is, but I sure in the hell hate him. I will teach you a lesson for breaking up with me!"

At the Michaels House...

Matt had arrived at the house. He was going to have a talk with Darien. He really wanted to tell her his feelings for her. He didn't care what Jeff had wanted him to do he wanted to talk to Darien about it all. He knocked on the door.

Shawn answered the door. "Matt? What are you doing here?"

"I wanted to know if Darien is here Shawn?"

"She went a while back to go and see Lance Hoyt. Her boyfriend. Something important that she wanted to speak to him about. I never really liked that kid anyway. He is mean to her in some ways when she won't listen to him."

Rebecca came to the door. "Who is that Shawn?"

"Matt Hardy. HE wants to know where Darien went. I told him that she went to Lance's house."

"She went to Lance's house to break up with him."

"What!"

"You heard me."

"Becca that isn't good at all. She is going to get hurt badly."

Matt ran down the steps and Shawn was after him. Shawn drove while Matt ran to Lance's house. They came to Lance's house to see that Lance had gone, but he did his due respects to Darien by beating the tar out of her for breaking up with him.

Matt kneeled down next to her. "Why would a man hit a woman?"

Shawn kneeled down next to his niece. "He would. He is a bastard. He doesn't believe in god like Darien and I do. We always read the bible together. He didn't accept her reading the bible. She was always the one trying to get him to understand the meaning of the bible. He tried to push her into sex so many times. She didn't want to be pushed into sex though. She wanted nothing to do with it."

"Looks like he did a damn good job beating the hell out of her. There is no way that she will be able to return in one month. It may take longer to get her back into the swing of things."

Shawn looked at Matt. "You really care for her don't you?"

Matt looked at him.

Shawn could read his eyes easily. "You do son. You know what. I approve of you. You know what son we have been on the same team before."

"Sir what are you saying?"

"What I am saying son is that she needs to know that someone is more nicer than Lance out there. That is what I am saying son. You of course knows how it feels to love. I don't think she has ever told anyone about her husband from 1999. Who died. She never really says anything about Dan."

"Dan?"

"Her first husband. He died in December of 1999 one month after them being Married to one another. She wouldn't tell anyone though. She couldn't bear the fact that she was married and he died."

"Oh why wouldn't she tell me though. I have been her friends for years."

"She didn't want anyone to know. We should get her to the hospital."

Later...

Rebecca sat down next to Shawn. "Honey I never really thought that Lance would hurt her."

Shawn shook his head. "I guess I was right about hin the whole time. He was mean to her. I guess meaner than we thought he was to her. I never really thought that she would try to cover up for him. She knew that if he was causing problems for her she should have ended it then."

"Well I am sorry I didn't know that it was so much trouble for her to understand the facts of love."

"Becca she is still learning the ropes to be a Michaels. She isn't going to let herself fall because of what happened with Lance Hoyt. I never really liked that boy any way."

"Just because he was from TNA?"

"No not only that. IT was just the way he was treating everyone else."

"Well, Shawn I understand your reason for that."

The doctor came into the room. "Well Miss Michaels is alright she is awake now. You can go and see her now."

Shawn decided to go into his niece's room. "Well I am sorry about what had happened Darien."

"Don't feel bad uncle Shawn. I am fine. I just didn't know that he could blow up so badly. I knew that nothing was really going to be the same."

"Darien do you mind telling me why you decided to breaking up with Lance?"

"Because I didn't have the same feeling for him as I did before. I kinda knew that things weren't going to last between us. I mean as hard as it was for me to break up with him I kinda knew that I was going to get hurt."

"But was it all worth it?"

"Yes it was Uncle Shawn. I know it may seem as a mistake, but I knew that your advice would kick in sooner or later. I knew that we weren't going to last because of us fighting about things. Cousin Matt wouldn't allow it."

"Matt was there?"

"He and Lance got into the fight yesterday when I was able to come home. I am not sure if I am able to come home now."

"Don't worry sweetheart we will get you out of here soon as possible."

"Uncle Shawn I want to get back into wrestling as soon as I can."

"Sweetheart you really don't want to rush things. If the doctor sees time off for you, you are going to take it alright. I don't want nothing bad to happen to you alright."

"I understand that Uncle Shawn, but I want pay back so I am going to give Lance a little bit of pay back."

"No you are not going to do that until you are healed alright I can't risk you getting hurt."

"You know Uncle Shawn that may be good advice and all, but I am willing to do what ever it takes."

"Well... don't be the wild country gal I know alright."

"Uncle Shawn I am a wild country girl."

"I know that. I don't want you to get hurt because of you being a wild country girl."

"I know uncle Shawn. I know that this was a bad break up."

"Don't worry about it alright. You are lucky that Matt and I got there before you bled to death."

"I have to thank him again. He has done so much for me lately. I know that."

"That's my girl."

DXDXDXDXDXDX

That is the end of chapter sixteen I hoped you all enjoyed it. It will be a surprise of who Darien will be with in the end, but for Lance Hoyt it is over. Sorry for making Lance Hoyt seem as the woman hitter in this chapter as well as the bad boyfriend. I am sorry for that, but I wanted Darien to be with one of the Hardy boys unless you want her with someone else. I am still taking votes for Eruanna though. Peace out.
