"Where's Jeff?" Beth asked as she walked past
"He's coming later" Amy said "Why?"
"You two are just usually attached to the hip that's all" Beth said
"Well we aren't now" Amy said
"How was your week?" Jillian asked "How was Jeff?"
"Why are you guys so interesting in my life?" Amy asked with an amused smile
"Because we aren't single" Jillian said "So we are living vicariously through you"
"Hmm nice to know" Amy said "And my week was great thanks, Jeff and I had a lot of fun"
"And how do you feel about tomorrow?" Mickie asked
"If you must know, I'm a little nervous but I mean it's just for the camera's" Amy said
"I don't think it is" Beth said "I just need to have a talk to Jeff and make sure he hurry's up and makes a move"
"I don't want things to become weird though" Amy said
"Something's gotta give Ames" Victoria said "It'll be either one of the two reactions"
Amy nodded
"Right now I'm fine with where we are at" Amy said
"And where is that?" Maria asked
"I think he knows that I like him, well that I think I like him" Amy said
"How is he meant to know that you like him, if you don't even know yourself?" Beth asked
"I hate talking about this" Amy said
"Well you have too" Beth said
"I don't really" Amy said
Maria raised her eyebrow
"Anyway, I want to go unpack and stuff so I'll see you all later" Amy said and she continued to walk down the hall
"This conversation is so not over" Mickie called out
"You know what we should do" Maria said
"What?" Beth asked
"Let's go down to the lobby and wait until Jeff gets here, then we can talk to him and see if we can get anything out of him" Maria said
"I like that plan" Victoria said with a smirk
"Alright, we'll go down when he is coming in" Beth said and she looked at her watch "Which won't be for a while so we have time to think of a plan"
3 hours later Jeff got out of the taxi, paid the
driver and he hurried to the boot of the car as it was raining and he
pulled his hood over his head on his hoodie then grabbed his bag and
dragged it inside. He went through the doors and saw the group of
divas standing there looking at him and he paused.
He pulled his
hood off his head and looked behind him then back at them.
"You know, most guys would kill to see 5 women waiting for them when they arrive" Jillian said jokingly
"Amy here?" Jeff asked looking around
"She's up at her room" Beth said
"Oh, I thought you were down here with her" Jeff said
"Nope, we want to talk to you" Maria said
"So what's up then?" Jeff asked
"Are you nervous about tomorrow?" Beth asked
"You know it" Jeff said smiling weakly
"What are you nervous about?" Mickie asked
"Well…I don't know" Jeff said "I guess I'm just nervous because it's Amy that I'm kissing. My best friend who I've known for years, I don't want to ruin anything"
"I don't think it will ruin you two" Victoria said
"I hope not" Jeff replied
"So is there anyone you have your eye on?" Beth asked
"Are you asking me if I like anyone?" Jeff asked
"Essentially yes" Beth said
"Well if I told you then you'll go tell everyone" Jeff said "Or a substantial amount of people anyway"
"Do you seriously think that we would do that?" Maria asked
"I don't know" Jeff said with a slight smile
"So you do like someone then?" Jillian asked
"Not that it matters but I think so" Jeff said and he nodded "Yeah I do"
"Who?!" Beth asked, a little too loudly and people looked at her
"Why are you so interested?" Jeff asked quietly
"We want to know" Jillian said
"Oh I know" Jeff said "But why"
"Because we just need to know and that's the answer you are going to get from us" Beth said
Jeff's phone began to ring and he looked at them and then pulled his phone out of his pocket. He slightly smiled when he saw the caller I.D
"Hey Ames" Jeff said putting the phone to his ear
The diva's grinned and Jeff noticed that
"Hey, are you going to be in soon?" Amy asked
"Yeah, I'm actually standing in the lobby right now" Jeff said "With Beth, Mickie, Maria, Jillian and Victoria"
"Oh no" Amy mumbled
"Oh no what?" Jeff asked "Is anything wrong?"
"Nope" Amy said "I just wanted to know what time you were coming, I think I'll come down"
"You don't have too, I mean I can just walk up myself" Jeff said
"No, I'll come down" Amy said
"Okay" Jeff said and they hung up
"Amy huh?" Maria asked
"Yeah" Jeff said nodding
"So do you like Amy?" Beth asked
"That wasn't forward at all" Jeff said sarcastically
"Well now that it's out in the open you can tell us" Maria said
"You have to promise me that you won't say anything" Jeff said "To anyone"
"We promise" Beth said nodding
"Yeah I do" Jeff said "I have for some time, it's a long story"
"Well you have time to tell us" Maria said
Amy came out of the elevator and began walking over to them
"No he doesn't" Victoria said
"Well you can tell us later" Beth said
"Who said I want to tell you" Jeff said raising his eyebrow
"We want to help you two" Beth said
"You're way too cute not too be together" Jillian said
"Even if she did like me, I couldn't" Jeff said shaking his head "Not after everything that's happened"
Amy walked over to them as her friends looked at Jeff, they looked a little in awe
"What's going on?" Amy asked standing next to Jeff
"Nothing" Jeff said shaking his head and he looked at his best friend
"How was your flight?" Amy asked as she held out her arms
"It was fine" Jeff said nodding and he gladly hugged her
"Aww" Jillian said
Amy slightly blushed when she pulled away from Jeff and then she glared at Jillian
"Anyway, I'm going to go put my stuff up in the room" Jeff said
"Okay come on" Amy said
They walked to the elevator and Amy pressed the button
"Our mission is so clear" Beth said with a grin and the other diva's nodded
Amy and Jeff walked to their room and Amy opened the door for them and Jeff went to his bed and collapsed on it
"I need sleep" Jeff groaned as he rubbed his eyes
"You should have slept on the plane" Amy said sitting next to him
"I couldn't stop thinking" Jeff said
"About what?" Amy asked
"Just about a few things" Jeff replied
"Like?"
"Like nothing really important" Jeff said
"It would have been important if you couldn't sleep" Amy said
"Just about tomorrow" Jeff said
"Oh" Amy replied quietly "You're still alright by it?"
"Of course" Jeff said "But as it gets closer I guess I'm just a little anxious"
"Well I mean at first it may be a little weird" Amy said "But as I've said, I'd rather it be you than someone else, much rather"
Jeff nodded and he sat up next to Amy
"So thanks for inviting me to your house last week" Jeff said nodding "It was fun"
"I'm glad you came" Amy said nodding "I knew we would have fun, it was just like the old days"
Jeff nodded again
Later that night, Jeff was out in the lobby looking for something to do while Amy was talking with Beth and her other friends. He noticed a bus pull up by the doors and he sat down and waited to see who was on the bus. The door opened and then Batista walked out the bus. Jeff stood and his eyes widened.
This couldn't have been happening at a worse time. More Smackdown superstars walked off and then Matt walked off and smiled when he saw Jeff
"I knew you would be around somewhere" Matt said
"What are you guys doing here?" Jeff asked
"Our flight got canceled and we are crossing over so I guess they just put us in the same hotel" Matt said
"Oh great" Jeff said a little sarcastically
"Are you still staying with Amy?" Matt asked
Jeff nodded
"Well you could stay with me" Matt said "It could be like the old days when we first started"
Jeff laughed nervously, he wanted to be nice to his brother but he also wanted to stay with his best friend
"I er don't know" Jeff said "I kind of need to talk to Amy about tomorrow night"
"Raw?" Matt asked
Jeff nodded again
"Oh" Matt said "Well I'm sure she'll understand"
"What I'll do is I'll go talk to her and then I'll find you" Jeff said
"Alright bro" Matt said with a smile
"So are you guys going to Raw?" Jeff asked
"Well a few people have to be here, like Dave" Matt said "I think they are doing something inter promotional so we can go if we want but I don't know if I will"
"Okay, well I'll see you later then" Jeff said
Jeff hurried to the elevator and he pressed the button a few times
"Pressing the button lots of times wont bring the elevator down any faster" Dave said
"I can try" Jeff mumbled then the doors opened
Jeff went to his floor and he went back to his room and saw Amy standing on the balcony. He went to the door and opened it, Amy turned to the door and smiled when she saw Jeff
"You look kind of worried" Amy said laughing
"This is serious time Ames" Jeff said
"What's wrong?" Amy asked
"The Smackdown roster is here" Jeff said
"Why?" Amy asked raising an eyebrow
"A flight got canceled and we are crossing over" Jeff said "And a few of them have to be at Raw for some inter promotional thing"
"So they're All here?" Amy asked
"If you're wanting to know if Matt is here then yeah he is" Jeff said
"Oh man" Amy said "Is Adam here?"
"I didn't see him but I'm sure he is" Jeff said and he hit himself on the forehead "They have come to Raw at the worst week possible"
"For us they have" Amy said "This is going to make things worse, does Matt know that we are going to kiss tomorrow night?"
"He should but I don't know" Jeff said "He can't stop it but he will be mad"
"Is he mad that you're staying with me still?" Amy asked
"Well he seemed alright" Jeff said "I mean maybe what I said to him about him moving on has sunk in a little, but he wants me to stay with him"
"Oh" Amy said and Jeff could see a little hurt in her eyes, he wasn't completely sure why though
"I want to do right by my brother" Jeff said "But I don't want to stay with anyone else"
"Well are you going to just tell him that?" Amy asked
"I don't know" Jeff said
"Well you're either going to have to tell him how you feel" Amy said "Or you're going to stay with him, but I mean we are friends, he has no right to be mad, at all"
Jeff nodded
"I guess I'll go back down and talk to him then" Jeff said nodding
"He shouldn't be weird about it" Amy said
Jeff nodded again
"I'll be back" Jeff said
He turned around
"Do you want me to come?" Amy asked
"No offence but why?" Jeff asked turning around
"Because that way maybe he will blame me rather then get mad at you" Amy said "I'm used to him being mad at me by now"
"Thanks Ames" Jeff said "But I want to do this"
Amy nodded and Jeff walked out the door
He went down to the lobby again and he looked around, he couldn't find his brother, but ran into someone else
"Watch where you're walking" Adam growled
"Sorry" Jeff said sarcastically "I forgot that it's everyone else's fault because you can't seem to make mistakes"
"Where is Amy?" Adam asked
"Why the hell are you so interested all of a sudden?" Jeff asked "I mean you hurt her years ago and now she is all you talk about"
"What do you have a thing for her now or something?" Adam asked with a smirk
"Shut up" Jeff said "I'm just being a good friend"
"Just stay out of my way while I'm here" Adam said
"Gladly" Jeff replied and he went back to the elevator and he saw Matt walked back in the doors
"Matt" Jeff called out
Jeff walked over to Matt
"So are you going to stay with me?" Matt asked
"Do you just want me to stay with you because I'm staying with Amy?" Jeff asked
"No" Matt said "We've hardly seen each other in a month"
"I know" Jeff said nodding "But that's our schedule clash"
Matt nodded
"But I'm going to stay in a room with Amy" Jeff said "She's my friend and I just want to spend time with her"
"Well what about me?" Matt asked "I'm your brother"
"You have friends on your roster" Jeff said simply
"Do you like Amy?" Matt asked "I asked last time and you lied"
"So what if I do?!" Jeff exclaimed "Why is that such a bad thing?"
"We were together for so long" Matt said
"But you've been broken up for more years now" Jeff said "Get over it"
Jeff turned around and he walked to the elevator
10 minutes later, Amy came back in the room with food and Jeff was on his bed looking at the ceiling with his hands on his chest, lying down
"Are you okay?" Amy asked quietly
"Fine" Jeff replied
"I got dinner for us" Amy said holding out a bag that the food was in
"Thanks but I'm not hungry" Jeff said
"I take it that you spoke to him" Amy said
"I'm just annoyed you know" Jeff said "He can't move on and he's making me pay for being your friend"
"I guess he's just being protective of you" Amy said
"I don't need protecting and especially not from you" Jeff said shaking his head
"How about we just have an early night" Amy said "Maybe go see a movie?
"Sounds perfect after all that" Jeff said nodding
"Good" Amy said and she grabbed his arm "Come on"
Amy
pulled Jeff out of the room and when they got out to the hall they
saw
Matt, standing there, now looking at them
"What are you two doing?" Matt asked
"Going to the movies" Amy answered "Or won't you allow that?"
"That's between Jeff and I" Matt said
"Matt, this has nothing to do with Jeff, it's between us" Amy said
"Jeff can I please just talk with Amy for a minute?" Matt asked looking at his brother
Jeff looked at Matt and then at Amy who gave him a soft smile and nodded
"You'll be alright?" Jeff asked quietly
"I'll meet you downstairs" Amy said
Jeff nodded and Amy let go of his arm and he walked down the hall and to the elevator
"Why have you been so harsh with him?" Amy asked "He did nothing wrong"
"He is spending time with you" Matt said simply
"Because we are best friends" Amy said
"No, you were best friends before we broke up" Matt said
"You can't say that we aren't friends" Amy said "You have nothing to do with Jeff and my relationship"
"Do you like Jeff?" Matt asked
"Of course I like Jeff, If I didn't like him I wouldn't spend time with him" Amy said
"No, as more than a friend" Matt said
"What kind of a question is that?" Amy asked
"Answer it" Matt said
"You know, maybe when we were together I would have answered question you asked so demandingly" Amy said "But since we're not and I don't have to put up with you then I don't have to answer it"
"It's just a question" Matt said
"That has nothing to do with you" Amy replied "Don't try and ruin something I have with Jeff just because you can't get over what happened with us. Look, I'm sorry and I've said that for the past 6 years but that is all I can do"
Matt just stood there looking at Amy
"And yeah, I think I do like Jeff" Amy said "As more than a friend, but deal with it"
Amy turned around and walked to the elevator and went to the lobby, Jeff was sitting looking at the elevator. When she came out he walked over to her quickly
"Are you okay?" Jeff asked
"Why wouldn't I be?" Amy asked with a smile
Jeff smiled
The next night at Raw
Amy and Jeff were both getting ready when they got their cue saying that they were ready for their match
Jeff stood and so did Amy
"You ready to do this?" Jeff asked
Amy nodded and they walked to the barney and went straight out
During the match
Jeff was in his corner after being in the ring for 5 minutes before he tagged Amy. Amy had been in the ring for close to about 3 minutes now and Jeff was listening to the crowd reaction to everything she did, they were loving it. The match was going to plan and Jeff was tagged back in. a few minutes later Ken tagged himself back in, making it look like it was a secret he waited for Amy to turn around and he grabbed her by the hair and threw her out. Jeff came in and took Kennedy out with a drop kick.
Jillian came in and gave Jeff a low blow. Jillian got out the ring and rolled Amy back in. The crowd booed as Kennedy picked Amy up. She kicked Kennedy then he pulled her on his shoulders and did the shock and awe. Ken pinned Amy for 3 and Jeff's stomach felt like it was about to explode, it wasn't because he lost the match or was hurt, it was because he was going to kiss his best friend in a matter of minutes.
Jeff went and helped Amy up after checking on her and then they had to go straight to the set
"You guys know what to do" The director said
"But do you?" Jeff mumbled so that only Amy heard and she smiled
They got in positions and the director called action
Jeff walked in the locker room angrily and Amy followed
"Jeff" Amy said cautiously
"I can't believe he did that to you, this has nothing to do with you!" Jeff said
"I'm fine" Amy said nodding
"That's not the point" Jeff said "The point is that he even touched you"
"It's okay" Amy said putting a hand on his arm
"I want a match against him" Jeff said "No way out, Jeff Vs. Mr. Kennedy"
"Okay" Amy said nodding
"I'm so sorry though" Jeff said
"Stop worrying" Amy said
"I can't" Jeff said shaking his head
"Why not?" Amy asked "I'm a big girl"
"Li…I have to tell you something" Jeff said "I've tried to let go of this but I can't"
"What's wrong?" Amy asked
"I…Ever since I met you, I've been in love with you" Jeff said
Amy was a little shocked, he sounded so convincing
"You what?" Amy asked
"I know" Jeff said "I shouldn't have told you"
"Jeff…I" Amy began
"Please don't be mad" Jeff said
"I'm not mad" Amy said shaking her head and she approached Jeff, their faces inches apart "Maybe I chose the wrong Hardy"
Jeff looked from her eyes to her lips then back to her eyes again. His heart was beating fast and his stomach was full of butterflies. He leaned in and their lips met, he could hear the crowd cheer from there, as they kissed, it was everything they had imagined, although Amy was sad that this was just acting. The director called cut and Jeff reluctantly and slowly pulled back. Amy's eyes fluttered open
"That was so believable!" the director said "Did you two practice that?"
"No" Amy said quietly
"We don't practice" Jeff said quickly and he cleared his throat
"Well you two can go home" The director said
Jeff nodded and he looked at Amy who was looking at the floor
"Ready?" Jeff asked
Amy just nodded and they walked to their locker room
Jeff drove them back to the hotel and there wasn't a word said in the car, for the first time, Jeff felt awkward around Amy. It wasn't because the kiss was horrible, it was because it was so good, he was afraid that he was going to admit that aloud
"So" Jeff began as they stopped at a set of lights
"So" Amy said
"Did I do something wrong?" Jeff asked
"Why would you think that?" Amy asked
"It's just that we haven't talked since we well…since we kissed" Jeff said "Did I do something wrong?"
"No" Amy said looking at Jeff "Not at all"
"Okay good" Jeff said "So it wasn't horrible for you?"
"No Jeff" Amy said shaking her head "It was…it was nice, I'm still glad I picked you for this"
Jeff smiled awkwardly, he wasn't sure what to say, he realized what he didn't want to happen was happening
"So are you hungry?" Jeff asked
"No I'm fine, but you can go get something if you want" Amy said
"I've got a headache so I just want to get back anyway" Jeff said
"Well are you okay?" Amy asked
"I'm fine" Jeff said nodding
"I wonder if Matt saw our kiss" Amy said
"Or Adam" Jeff said
"Yeah him too" Amy said "I mean it wasn't a big deal"
Jeff shook his head and he yawned
"Tired?" Amy asked
"Only a little" Jeff said
They got back to the hotel and had 3 missed calls, all from Matt
"Maybe I should call him" Jeff said
"Jeff it's like midnight, I'm pretty sure you don't need too call him back" Amy said
"You're right" Jeff said nodding
"Of course I am" Amy replied
The next morning Jeff woke up and saw no Amy in the bed across from him. Amy woke up an hour earlier that Jeff, she left a note by his bedside table
Jeff,
At Jillian's room, call me if you need me
Amy
He decided he would go talk to Chris and see if he could possibly clear his head. In Jillian's room, Amy had been talking about Jeff and the kiss for quite a while now
"So it wasn't bad?" Maria asked with a smile
"It was really good" Amy said "Which is really bad"
"Why?" Maria asked
"Because now things are awkward between us" Amy said
"Why are things awkward?" Mickie asked
"Because I don't know what to say to him, and I'm afraid that I'm going to open my mouth and let him know how much I want to kiss him again" Amy said
"And how is that a bad thing?" Beth asked
"Well now I know that he clearly doesn't like me" Amy said "So if I say anything, I'll wreck everything"
"But if you say nothing, you'll wreck everything" Jillian said "You have to just start over again, forget about the kiss or admit your feelings to him"
"I can't" Amy said shaking her head "I can't do any of that"
"Well what do you plan on doing then?" Jillian asked
Amy sighed
"I'm just going to go back to what I was before this happened, being his best friend" Amy said
"Amy, I'm going to say this once and once only" Beth said frustrated "He won't wait forever, he'll find someone and if that someone isn't you then you'll be devastated. Just tell him how you feel"
"I'll lose him if he tells me he doesn't feel that same" Amy said
Jeff sat in Chris' room and he was looking out the window
"So how was the kiss?" Chris asked with a grin
"Great" Jeff said "It was what I always thought it would be, but now that we are together on the show it kind of sucks"
"Why does it suck?" Chris asked "I thought you'd be happy"
"Well I'm not" Jeff said "Because I'm in a relationship with her on the show, and not in real life. So I will know what it will be like to have her, but in reality, I don't have her at all"
"You're not making that much sense" Chris said
"I'm so close but way too far away" Jeff said
"Then tell her" Chris said "Put it out there"
"I just got over these feelings" Jeff said "Or I thought I had, and now they are back"
"So that's why you have to tell her so that you don't have to go through that again" Chris said
"What about Matt?" Jeff asked
"What about him?" Chris asked "They've been broken up for years now, its by time he got over her"
Jeff nodded
"I think I'm gonna call Trish" Jeff said
"My opinion not good enough?" Chris asked jokingly
"I just want a second opinion" Jeff said
"It will be exactly the same as mine" Chris said
Jeff nodded
"Probably" Jeff said
Amy walked out of Jillian's room and she saw Jeff come out of Chris' room and he looked rather stressed and worried
"Are you okay?" Amy asked from behind and Jeff jumped and turned around "Calm down Jeffy"
Amy held his arms firmly so he would calm down
"Sorry" Jeff said as she let go of him
"So are you okay?" Amy asked
Jeff nodded
"Do you want to do something today?" Amy asked
"If you want too" Jeff replied
"I do so what do you want to do?" Amy asked
"Er do you just want to go for a walk or something and maybe get breakfast?" Jeff asked
"That would be nice" Amy said nodding
"Okay well maybe I should just go change because I wasn't expecting to go anywhere" Jeff said
"What were you doing in Chris' room?" Amy asked
"Oh, he just needed to talk to me" Jeff said "What were you in Jillian's room for?"
"Relationship problems" Amy said
"Well it's a good thing that we don't have a relationship" Jeff began "Wait no, I meant that in the sense that it would cause problems, for other people"
"You aren't making sense, at all" Amy said quietly
"What I meant was that it's a good thing we don't have relationships with people who aren't in the business because it would just cause drama" Jeff said
"Oh, yeah" Amy said forcing a smile
You could cut the tension with a knife, things were going from bad to worse, someone had to say something soon
"So I'll be back" Jeff said
"Maybe we should just do our own thing today" Amy said
"Okay?" Jeff said confused
"Well it's just that, we've been together for a while now non stop" Amy said and she paused "I mean we've been hanging out a lot and I figure that you need time for yourself"
"Oh right, yeah, time for myself" Jeff said nodding
"Is that okay?" Amy asked
"Yeah, fine" Jeff said "So I'll see you around"
Amy nodded and Jeff walked past her to get to the elevator, Amy marched right back to her friends room and went in
"What are you doing back here?" Jillian asked
"I told Jeff that we should do our own thing today" Amy said
"Why?!" Beth asked
"I don't know" Amy said shaking her head and she ran a hand through her hair "I don't know why I did it"
"Well go tell him that you don't want to do your own thing" Maria said
"He seemed pretty keen to do it" Amy said
"I bet he was just doing what he thought you wanted" Maria said
Amy walked to Jillian's bed and just collapsed on in and put her hands over her face
Jeff went to his room and he grabbed his phone and he called Trish
"Jeff!" Trish exclaimed "I'm pretty sure you said you would call"
"Yeah, sorry" Jeff said
"So you and Amy looked really really really cute together on Raw" Trish said
"That's what I need to talk to you about" Jeff said
"Is everything okay?" Trish asked
"Uh yes and no" Jeff said
"Okay spill" Trish said
"Ever since the kiss she has been acting so strange around me and I don't want to say much because if I do, then I think I'm going to admit just how much I liked that kiss and how much I want to do it again" Jeff said "And I can't tell her that"
"I knew you liked her" Trish said
"Look that part is complicated and I don't even want to get into it but I just need your advice, you are probably the closest person to Ames besides me" Jeff said
"What do you want advice about?" Trish
"I want to know, what you think I should do" Jeff said
"Tell her" Trish said "Tell her or it's going to eat at you"
"Hmm that's reassuring" Jeff said sarcastically
"Jeff, I'm pretty sure she likes you as well, I mean why do you think the real reason was that she came back? Part of it was you, I know that for a fact" Trish said "And if you don't make a move, what happens if she decides to move on if you don't make your move"
"I don't want to have to see her with someone else again" Jeff said "It hurts"
"Then don't let it happen again" Trish said shrugging
Jeff nodded and he smiled
"I think I might go tell her now" Jeff said "I guess I just needed a little reassuring, thanks"
"Call me" Trish said "And make sure you do"
"I will, bye" Jeff said
"Laters" Trish replied
Jeff hung up his phone and he went down to the lobby to try and find Amy, he did, but he found her talking to his brother
Jeff raised his eyebrow, Matt looked quite calm for a change around her and she smiled. Jeff's heart dropped, he remembered why he couldn't be with her, the reason was Matt. He was sure she would always be in love with his brother and not him. Matt saw Jeff and he signaled for him to come over to them, Jeff just looked at them and then he turned around and he walked out of the hotel.
Alright so I hope you liked it, now please review!!
