Chapter 5-Deep in the Imag-I
The next day Izzy talked Josie into "exploring Cameron". They left at 10am. They didn't have to drive for long before they saw a sign they recognized from the Hardy Show. "There it is" Izzy said. Josie turned down the road and then they saw big hills and bridges and then they saw Jeff's house Matt and Jeff's cars were outside and she saw Shannon's hummer. They walked up to Jeff's door and then they heard someone say "Hey who are you?" They turned around and a skinny girl was looking at them like they had a disease. "I'm Josie Lennon and this is Izzy Sighn, we met the guys at Omega yesterday and Izzy wanted to talk to Matt so yea, that's why we're here." Josie said. Jeff opened the door, "Hey guys" he said. "Hi um" Josie said then she mouthed "can I talk to you?" Jeff smiled and said "well come on in" Beth looked like her head was going to explode. "Is that your girlfriend?" Josie asked. "Yea I guess." Jeff said sadly. Josie felt her heart break when he said that. Jeff asked Matt to watch for Beth and he motioned Josie back to his room. "What do you need to tak about." Josie froze. "Um, I-I-I, I don't know if I can tell you it's so imature.'' Josie said. "It's cool just tell me." Jeff said. "Um, I like you alot, and the way you talked about Beth" Josie was trying to tell him and Matt walked in "Beth's coming" he said. They ran into the living room just as Beth walked in the door.
The guys asked the girls to stay and watch movies they ended up staying the night. At about 3am Josie heard some yelling and rose her head up," I don't care Jeff, no, I don't care. What well fine why don't you just go and fuck her and marry her." Josie heard Beth say. She wandered what they were fighting about it was weird to hear Jeff yelling he's so shy and nice. Josie heard some footsteps so she pretended to be asleep. Jeff walked by her and went into the kitchen. Josie looked at him it sounded like he was crying but she wasn't sure. She sat up and said "Are you ok?" Jeff was sitting at the kitchen table in the dark he sniffed and said "Yea, I'm fine. You want a beer?" Josie got up and went to the table. "What happened?" Josie asked. "She's accusing me of cheating on her, I would never do that no matter how much she pisses me off or whatever." Jeff said. Josie half smiled and said "well then why don't you break up with her?" Jeff huffed and said "I don't know I guess I'm just scared, of what?, I don't know." Josie was about to say something when Beth came in and said "Well I guess you're takign my advise" Jeff rolled his eyes and said "Go to bed I'm sleeping on the couch, think what you want, I don't give a shit." Beth went to their room and slammed the door. Jeff and Josie went to sleep in the living room.
The next day Josie hears Beth talking on her phone in the bathroom and cautiously listens in, she hears Beth say "Jeff has no idea, I can't wait to see you. I hate him, and there's these to girls here and they're so fucking annoying, I know one of em likes Jeff but I'm just playing Jeff making him think I'm jealous, it's so funny. I can't wait to see the expression on his face when he finds out. He's gonna die." Josie was almost crying when she walked away. She looked out the window and saw Jeff outside with Matt Shannon and Izzy. Matt was helping Izzy get on his 4 wheeler and Shannon and Jeff were sitting on their bikes talking. Josie went outside fighting back tears she asked Jeff if she could talk to him, they went to the side if his house to talk. "What's up?" Jeff asked. "Um I overheard Beth talking to someone and she was saying that she's cheating on you and she's playing you and she can't wait to see your face when you find out. I'm not trying to be a tattle-tale but I thought you needed to know." Josie said. "Wow, really? I always thought she was cheating on me but I was never sure. I'm sure you don't want to know this but we haven't had sex in a little over a year, manly because I've been gone but even when I'm home I won't touch her cause I had a hunch she was cheating." Jeff said thankfull of Josie's honesty. "Then why did you stay with her?" Josie said frustrated. "Jeff? Where the hell are you, I told you to come inside. I need to talk to you." Beth was turning the corner when...Josie and Jeff were caught up in a kiss. "Jeff !?, What the fuck are you doing?" Beth screamed. Jeff pulled away from Josie who about fell over. "The same thing your doing you nasty fucking whore." Jeff said. Beth looked shocked 'How'd he find out' Beth thought to herself. "Yea you thought I wouldn't find out, huh?" He said. Beth looked at Josie and dove towards her Josie caught her in mid-air and threw her into the bush. Jeff let out a huge laugh and Josie went and pulled her out of the bushes. "Just so you know, it's over Beth" Jeff said. "Get your shit out of my house I want it all out tonight whatever is left is gonna get burned." Jeff said. Josie smiled the entire time. "Oh by the way you don't look pretty in that new dress, and you will never be good enough to be a wrestler and I think there is only one person who's good enough to be with me." Jeff said looking at Josie smiling.
Josie was packing her bag getting ready to leave Jeff's house and she heard what sounded like someone weeping. She investigated and found Jeff in his room he was sitting on his bed holding something it looked like a picture. Josie tried to close the door quietly. "Josie?" Jeff said quietly with a crack in his voice. "I'm sorry, I'll go." Josie said shutting the door. "Wait, can you stay here for a little while. I just need someone here." He said sniffing and wipping his eyes. "Yea sure" Josie said. Jeff motioned Josie to sit next to him on his bed. "What's wrong?" Josie asked. "Well I didn't think breaking up with Beth would hurt so bad I didn't love her anymore it's just the fact that she cheated on me, and today is the day my mom died when I was younger. Why does everything happen at once and why is it always bad?" Josie thought for a moment then she said, "Well you shouldn't let Beth get to you, you already knew she was doing something just let it live and let die, and you shouldn't morn your mother's death you should celebrate her life, the good times. It's all one big test from god to see how much faith we have in him. Just stay strong and have faith and I promise you everything will be alright." Josie said. Jeff looked into Josie's eyes with all the trust in the world he looked into her eyes like he could see right through to her soul. He leaned in and kissed her softly but with enough passion to knock down a wall. Josie was entranced in this short moment of passion. Josie's phone rang, she huffed and answered it. "Hello?" "Where are you I've been waiting forever now." Izzy said. "Oh sorry I was talking to Jeff." Josie said. "I'll be there in a minute." Josie kissed Jeff one more time and then left with Izzy.
