Chapter 6
Note if you are enjoying the story thank JediMasterChris he keeps giving me reviews and that drives me to to get the next chapter up do why don't you join him and give me a review.
Madison and I were watching the latest tournament match on the monitor it was Micke James and Jeff Hardy vs. Sarita and Hernandez and right now things didn't look so good for the team representing the stars and stripes. Jeff hard gone for a cross body only to get caught by Hernandez and was taking a real beating every attempt to make a tag to Mickie was cut off Hernandez hit the crackajack and made the cover only for Jeff to get his foot on the rope. As Hernandez argued with the referee he took his eyes off Jeff allowing him to finally tag in Mickie. Seeing what he had done Hernadez got pissed and kick Mickie. "Oh that's a DQ," I say. As the ref calls for the bell management was very clear on Spike the matches would be men vs men, women vs women only the finals would allow inter-gender contact. The officials were out to pull Hernandez. "I think Jeff has a busted rib," Madison says. "I think Mickie has a dent in her head," I say. "Would make it easier on the next round," Madison says. "Yeah but we got Crimson and Love it the winner of the next match that get Jeff and Mickie," I say. "WHo would have thought I would cheering for ODB and Eric Young," Madison says. "I like Eric Young," I say.

Kaz was in the ring with Traci. "You know I just want to thank TNA for doing this tournament now the lovely Traci Brooks and I are teaming in this and I love the idea of the Knockouts getting more time. I think TNA has the greatest woman in the world and that is why it's so sad for me to see one of the knockout wasting there life," Kaz says sadly. Traci takes the microphone. "And Madison Rayne we are talking about you," Traci says. "You know we talk about the importance of picture well look at these," Kaz says. One screen appears a series of pictures of Jake and Traci from there days together. "And Madison dear just food for thought why is it he didn't block number until you picked the phone," Traci says.

Backstage I look at Madison and I can tell she is rattled. "Madison don't listen to that crap," I say. "Why didn't you block her number?" she asks. "Because I don't think. But come on Madison what do you think my hole divorce was some kind lie to put a spark with me and Traci?" I ask. Madison just walks off. "Madison," I call after her. Ok time to go slap Kaz in the head.
Hogan sees me heading to the ring. "Easy brother. I know you want to beat up Kaz but right now he's in a match," Hogan says. "Let me tell you something Hogan I want him next open fight night," I say. "Alright fine but please just let this match happen we are in the final match of round one alright," Hogan says. I look back at the monitor and I see EY hitting a back drop on Kaz. You know I like Eric Young but giving me another chance to beat up on Kaz I think I will hope EY loses tonight. That's when I see the camera pan over and show Madison on the ramp looking pissed off. "Oh no," I say as she head for the ring. I run for the ramp and make my way down to her. "Madison come on now is not the time for this," I say to her.
She ignores me. "Madison please," I say. In the ring ODB and Traci are now wrestling with ODB running Traci over with a series of forearms. But Traci finally took control with a shot to throat. "Hi baby," Traci yells at me. At that Madison leaps up on the apron. I pull her down. "Leave me alone," Madison screams. "This isn't doing us any good," I say to her. She still ignores me. The match keeps going the typical back and forth you would expect. I still keep trying to get Madison to leave. "Look Madison why would you buy any of that crap?" I finally yell at her. "Because I don't think you committed me," She yells. I figured this fight would come up again but I am not having it at the Impact Zone of everyone. Before I can replay I feel something slap me in the back of the head hard. I turn around and see Kaz smiling smugly. Now I'm pissed and I jump up on the apron What I don't see is Eric charging until it's to late as Kaz side steps and Eric plows into me and we strike heads. I am sent flying off the apron. EY is stunned allowing Kaz to easily hit the fade to black for the win.

I don't know what's worse the fact I had to get stitches from blow or the fact Madison took the car and left without me. Thanks to AJ I got home but I also had way to much time to stew. Making my way to the upstairs first I check on Hope and see she is fine sleeping. Maybe I should put some earmuffs on her like Drew Brees did with his kid at the Super Bowl a few years ago because I really want yell. The door to Madison's room is closed since he moved I have always knocked before entering not this time I throw it open. She is on the bed and looks at me an stays silent. "Alright Madison you want to talk commitment lets talk," I say. "Get out of my room," I say. I tempted to pull a line my dad used about this being my house and so all the rooms are mind than I remember I don't want to make things worse. "Madison I get… No I don't get why this is such a big deal. It's my past that got dragged up again," I say. "You know why it's a big deal Jake because she's not the only one saying it. Its my parents its my friends it fans its everyone that knows you," she says on the verge of tears. "Well don't listen to them listen to me. All the other times Traci and I broke up I wanted her back and I don't anymore. And you know why? Its you and Hope," I say.
"Jake don't act like you haven't tried to move on before Jake I have heard plenty of stories," Madison says. "Yeah I have but all those other times something was misting truth was was she still had my heart but not anymore," I say. She mumbles something. I take a hold of her arms. "Madison do you really think I would just lead you on like that? That if I wanted Traci back I wouldn't got for it that I would just set you up to be hurt?" I ask. "See Jake I don't think your leading me on I think your turin but lets be honest you go back to Traci," She says. "Not this time," I say. "Jake people asks what we are doing what are relationship is you say "Oh were dating." that was ok when we were just starting but now I need more than just dating," Madison says.
She needs me say it. We basally started dating just before Hope was born That was months ago hell nearly a year. She breaks free of my grasp I can tell she hurting because I can't say it. "Madison…. I…" "Its alright Jake I understand," She says and than this image flashes through my mind her leaving walking away and I panic that scares me. Truth is its fear that holds those words back fear that I mess up and I go back down the hole again but now a new fear is there and in a strange way its giving me a new kind of courage the courage I need right now or else this beautiful life I am building with her is gone. "Madison I love you. Please believe that. I love you," I say before kissing her. We break apart and she looks me in the eyes and I tell she is crying. "Thank you," She says. Maybe I owe Traci and Kaz a thank you there stupid stunt pushed me do what I should have done months ago but I am still going to hurt him.
