Disclaimer: I own nothing but the OCS. Though, owning Matt Hardy would be amazinggg. ;) Lol.
A/N: Hmm, there was a lack of reviews to the last chapter compared to most...did people not like it? :( I loved that chapter...oh well. This one is average length wise, but it's pretty dramaful. So, enjoy. :)

"Did I do that?" I ask her minutes later, as Jeff covering his girlfriend in a towel, who is giving me death glares. Oh, well. She's not the one I have a current problem with. Charity totally teased me upstairs and then shoved me away. You don't do that to a guy. Well some people do, but it isn't fucking funny and we don't like it.

"What the fuck is your problem today," Jeff asks me, his eyes darting between me and Charity as if he knew. I shrug, rolling my eyes. "Well whatever the fuck it is, you need to cut it the fuck out. Today is for fun, don't ruin it." With that, Jeff walks away, shaking his head. If it's for fun, why is he so serious? Duh.

"Burgers are ready," The Legend a.k.a. Matt and Jeff's father calls out, the plate full of meat in his hands. Jamie and Shane walk over first, followed by Beth, and Jeff. I trudge my way over there, aiming to be last. Fuck. Charity is there…the last one. I step behind her, looking at the ground, as I feel her eyes looking at me.

"Hey," she whispers.

"What?" My reply is pretty curt and cold…do you blame me?

"Look, can we talk after we eat or something?" she asks, shifting her weight uncomfortably around, arms crossed over her bikini, revealing a belly button ring. Her curves are fucking amazing, and her skin is perfectly tan, just the right color. "Shannon?"

"Huh?"

"Can we—"

"I heard you. Right. Yeah, sure, I guess." I look around as if it doesn't really interest me this conversation, even though I'm hoping that whatever she has to say will tell me why the fuck she is so moody and such a tease.

Charity smiles, tugging on her ponytail. "Good, talk to ya in a few," she whispers, grabbing her burger from Claude and smiling at him politely. They'd only met an hour ago, and she was giving him typical behavior.

"What's going on, boy?" he asks me, eyeing Charity from behind. "Got it bad for her?" I look at the girl too, mostly her ass, but shake my head. Claude laughs. "Don't lie to me boy, I've known you much to long not to see that you're telling me a tale. What's the matter with her?"

I shrug. "She's difficult to crack."

"Well…she's been given the chance to be around you guys. Wouldn't you be a little cautious too?"

I shrug again, taking a bit out of my burger, and then search for a beer. "I guess."

"There ya go," Claude tells me, patting my back. "Lovely girl." I nod, studying her, as she talks to Beth about something, her dimples showing as she laughs with Bethany. She really is beautiful, you know. "Is that new?"

"Huh?"

He points to a tattoo on my arm, but I shake my head no and start to walk away. "Thanks…" I say, trailing off. Shane and Matt are talking about their myspaces when I come up to them, something about messages and comments. I join in every so often, but I'm not really listening. Now Jamie has joined the conversation between the two girls, and she seems happy. Damn…I'm really falling.

"Shannon?" I think that was Shane.

"Wha?" I mumble, getting caught again.

"You okay, man?" he asks me, his eyebrows deep towards his eyes.

"I'm fine, I'm fine." What a lie.

-Charity's POV-

This burger is making me nauseous. It's not that Matt or Matt's father are bad cooks, it's just that my stomach is doing summersaults inside of me. I need to set some things straight with Shannon, but I wish he'd eat faster. Come to think of it…maybe he's eating slow so he doesn't have to talk to me…oh God. What have I done? Why did I kiss him? I didn't want to! …Right? I sigh, as Matt sits down next to me, a smile on his face.

"Hi you," he says. "Whatcha doing, sugar?"

"Eating like everyone else?" I ask with a smirk. Matt laughs, looking down at my burger as if to say, 'then why is there still food on your plate?' "I'm not too hungry," I finally say, to make his expression change.

"You're not? Are you feeling okay?" I swear Matt just went into worried mother mode almost the way he's looking at me, his brown eyes dark and concerned, and his mouth in a firm line, eyebrows deep toward his eyes. Its sort of cute…in a puppy dog way.

"Uh…yeah, I'm fine. I just ate a lot of chips before. Damn…I knew there was a reason my mother always told me not to eat before a meal." My joke doesn't calm him, or me for that matter. The US champion just stares at me, his hands on his lap, wondering what is up.

"Does this have anything to do with Shannon's weirdness too?" He glances over at the Prince of Punk. "Did he do something to you or something?" Anger flashes in his eyes when he sees my mouth nearly drop. "Did he?"

"OH, NO! No! It…it has nothing to do with him," I lie, hoping my tale didn't show through my face. Putting on my best false smile, I stand up and take a huge bite full of meat. "I think I'm hungry now." Matt just squints at me, his facial expression the same as before. Then, out of nowhere, he stands up, shaking his head and walks away.

"Shannon," I whisper, minutes later, trying to get him when Shane and Jamie are fighting over something. He's sitting on a lounge chair, feet on a table, eyes closed. I brush my hair out of my face, as he looks at me, eyes squinted against the bright June sun. "Can we talk please?"

"Sure," he mumbles, sitting up, and brushing off crumbs around him. "Where to?"

"Doesn't matter I guess," I mumble too, suddenly feeling self-conscious in my bikini…why is Shannon staring at me? I whine in my head. "Maybe we can take a walk along the path?" I point toward the area that once led to Jeff's house.

He nods, pulling his wet hair into a ponytail. I guess he didn't listen to me when I told him earlier it looks better down…whatever. "So…" his voice is soft and a little cold, like he's mad…which he probably is. Fuck.

"About before," I whisper. "What happened up in my room."

"Right." He doesn't look at me, I notice. I kick some dirt up in frustration and glare at him. Moore looks at me dully, as if he isn't interested. "What?"

"Are you gonna keep pretending to be a lifeless corpse as we walk? Usually when people talk, both do the talking!" I mutter, watching a mouse in the woods.

"You kissed me."

"You had your hands on my fucking boobs!" I return.

"It turned you on," he said with a smirk.

"It did not." Okay, so maybe it did. "Look, I don't like you like that. It was a momentarily short period of lapse of judgment and I—"

"Bullshit! Bullshit, Charity! Do you not remember what happened in your room? You were just as into it as was! Why are you suddenly pushing me away? I like you, Charity! I fucking like you…you're attracting…you know that, right?"

"Shut up. Look, whether or not you like me or not, this can't happen. It won't happen and I don't want it to happen." It was cold, but it had to be said, it couldn't happen.

Shannon's expression turned to hurt. "Why not, Charity? Don't deny that you didn't enjoy it, because you did, damn it! Why are you turning away?"

"Because it can't happen!" I scream loudly, and nearly fall to the ground. "One, you're nearly 29 fucking years old, two, I don't like you, and three, you're famous!"

"Those are all incredibly stupid reasons to stop and hide your true feelings," he challenges. We stop walking and are face to face, my expression angry, his emotionless.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP. Get over your ego, I don't fucking like you. You know what? I just got out of high school hell and all it's drama. I'm not about to go back to it and say I like you just to make you happy." He doesn't say anything. "What I was going to say, before you started shit, I was hoping we could forget whatever happened and just be friends, but clearly, you can't put aside you man ego and do that."

"You don't even fucking know me!" He hisses, green eyes raging.

"EXACTLY, Shannon." I say, and stalk off, shaking my head. "Just…don't talk to me."

So, again, thanks for all the readings and reviews! I'll try to update tomorrow, as I have nothing better to do then finish up summer work and go online, lol. But until then, read and review, my darlings! :)
