CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE

I Shall Always Love You

May 21, 2007...

Darien came down the hall and met up with Jeff. She smiled at him and flung herself into his arms. "I love you baby. I hope you win out there tonight."

Carlito came up to them. "Jeff and Darien."

"What do you need Carlito?" asked Jeff.

"Mr McMahon would like to see you."

Jeff and Darien nodded their heads. They walked together to Vince McMahon's office. They knocked on the door.

"Come in."

The two of them came in.

"You wanted to see us Mr McMahon." said Jeff.

"Yes I did."

"What did you want to see us for?"

"Well, since the two of you have been closer I want to make sure if it was alright with you if you two were paired off."

"Like dating on the show?"

"Yes."

"I don't see nothing wrong with that." said Darien.

"Good. You two will be dating on the show."

They nodded their heads.

"Now you two go and get ready for the show."

The two of them left.

Matt came up to them. "Where were you guys?"

"We went to go and talk to Vince." said Jeff.

"Oh. I understand."

"He is making us a couple on the show."

Matt's eyes went wide. He walked away from them.

Jeff bit his lip. He knew he had hurt his older brother by saying that. He didn't want to hurt his brother. He looked at Darien. "I will be back baby." He ran after his brother. "MATT!"

Matt stopped and faced him. "What the hell is wrong with you Jeff. You know that I like her."

"I still like her too Matt. You know that as well as I do."

"Why wouldn't you tell her that it was all a lie. You two ain't even dating any more. You know that. Why try to date her now. She doesn't even know who her father is. You know that as well as I do. For some reason you want to keep her to yourself. I know you well enough Jeff. You were happy with Beth for a while and broke your vowel to her."

"So what I wasn't happy with her then. She was always hiding things from me. You know that."

Matt just walked away.

Jeff shook his head. "What about our match."

"Screw the match. You just screwed yourself being in the match tonight with me Jeff. Good luck on your own."

Jeff let out a sigh and ran a hand through his purple hair. He couldn't believe what had happened. He walked back over to Darien.

"What happened between you and Matt Jeff?"

"We got into a fight about something."

"It isn't about me is it?"

"No of course not." he said lying.

"I hope you aren't lying to me Jeff. I don't like liars and you know that."

"I know baby."

She kissed him on the cheek.

"But it looks like I am on my own tonight."

"With the titles?"

"Not unless I find someone to tag with me I am on my own tonight."

"Let me guess Rated-RKO?"

"No. They broke up. They are no longer a team..."

"Then what is going on?"

"MNM."

Her eyes went wide. "You mean the one team with the skanky bitch in it?"

"Yes Darien."

"Uncle Shawn could team with you."

"No... I got to try to get Matt to understand what is going on here."

"Well... I think he might have left."

He sighed. "You may be right on that one baby, but I am not going to stop until he understands why Vince wants us to do this."

"Alright. But you be careful out there baby."

"I will."

She kissed him softly on the lips. "Maybe we could go out tonight after the match."

"That sounds good to me baby."

Jeff ran down the hall again.

Darien let out a dreamy sigh. "I can't believe that I am still with him after all of this time."

Maria came up to her. "We got an interview."

"Oh alright."

"I am backstage with Darien Michaels of Team Xtreme. Miss Michaels how do feel about your team breaking up. We saw earlier tonight that Matt Hardy is mad about something. How do you feel?"

"How do I feel? What do you mean."

"Well Matt Hardy took off because he was upset about something."

"Well... I don't know. I hope that everything will clear up. I don't want either one of them fighting about something stupid. I don't see that as a problem. I want to know if things were going to be good."

The camera turned off.

Maria smiled. "Thank you."

"You're very welcome."

Maria walked down the hall.

Darien leaned up against the wall.

Randy came up to her. "Well what are you doing out here on your own. Where is your boyfriend?"

She turned around and hit him hard across the mouth where Shawn had hit him with sweet chin music last week . She smirked at him. "You fucking bastard."

"You fucking bitch." He said grabbing a hold of her.

Shawn ran up to him and kicked him down. He waited for Randy to get up and he hit him with sweet chin music.

"Thanks uncle Shawn."

"You're welcome baby girl." he left.

Darien ran down the hall way only to run into Ric Flair. "Oh sorry Ric."

"Don't worry about it Darien. What is the rush?"

"Well Uncle Shawn hit Randy Orton with Sweet chin music after I hit Randy."

"Well that is understandable he hates you for doing everything to him."

"Have you seen Jeff?"

"He's talking with Matt. Actually. I don't think you should go there. There is a huge fight in their room. I wouldn't want you to do any thing stupid and get yourself hurt."

"Well it can't be as bad as getting hit in the face with sweet chin music when you are training."

"Well just promise me you won't go in there."

"I won't."

DXDXDXDXDXDX

That is the end of chapter twenty-three. Like it hate it. What will happen to Darien? Will she remember that she isn't dating Jeff. Will she remember her father is Shawn Michaels? Will Randy get his revenge on Shawn Michaels? Will Edge get his revenge on what happened as well?
