Author's Note: This is it, the sequel to Weight of the World! This wouldn't be happening without x_Hardys_and_Horcruxes_x, although I had the idea for this sequel all on my own, it was her who asked me to write WotW. Although I didn't say it last chapter, I own pretty much nothing aside from Katya. Hope you enjoy!


Sweet Sacrifice

Chapter Two

About two weeks had passed since Katya had first slept with Jay and although she hadn't done it again they were now travelling together. Things were actually progressing rather nicely between them, though they certainly weren't anything official.

It was something that she couldn't really explain, whatever was between them. They slept in the same bed together and Katya always felt at home in his arms even though they hadn't talked commitment. They were just enjoying what they were at the moment, being together, and loving each other without having any obligations after what they came out of but also knowing they would always look after the other.

The only problem was what to do about Adam. Katya couldn't talk to him- she didn't know what to say, after all she had been about to go to him and profess her love but she ended up sleeping with Jay instead. Yes, Adam had made a stupid assumption that caused her to run to Jay but it didn't mean she didn't feel guilty… she knew this would hurt him. She wasn't even really angry with him but she just couldn't face him. Despite this though, she still felt no regret about sleeping with Jay, about pursuing some deeper relationship with him, albeit one without a label yet.

Of course, at work she had no choice but to face him. She and Adam were in a storyline together and she had just turned heel. It was hard to avoid him at arenas, it meant she spent almost no time in catering and did her own hair and makeup just to stay out of his way until she absolutely had to go and join him at the gorilla.

"Katya…"

She glanced up at Adam, glad that just as he opened his mouth to speak again his music began. He frowned but shook it off and then headed out with Katya following behind him to a round of boos she'd never really heard directed at her before. They paused at the top of the ramp and Adam pulled her into a passionate kiss- it was more passionate than she had expected, perhaps he was trying to prove something to her. The thing that she did not expect, however, was the fact that butterflies did not dance in her stomach this time, she didn't feel hot and cold, no sparks. It almost scared her that those feelings were simply gone this time.

She tried not to show it though, following him down the ramp like she was supposed to and cheering him on in what was a match against Punk, but not yet a rematch for the title. Adam did win though, and as was scripted Punk left the ring staring at Katya, still feeling betrayed. Adam laid another kiss on her and once more she felt nothing. After they were behind the curtains she hightailed it out of there, wanting nothing more than to be alone with Jay.

She still didn't entirely understand it though, how feelings for someone could just disappear. There was still a tug in her heart for Adam, she supposed, seeing as her heart had belonged to him for quite sometime but she did not feel that same chemistry as she had once. In fact, all the chemistry seemed to now be between her and Jay. There were moments in their past that she remembered now though, and she thought that perhaps her heart had belonged to both of the blond Canadians, though she had only seen Adam at first and even only recognised the love for Adam at the time.

Katya lay on the couch with her head in Jay's lap, letting him gently stroke her hair as she sniffled.

"I just couldn't go to Adam, you know what kind of a temper he has, he'd probably get arrested…"

"Yeah… I see your point." Jay murmured, "I'll handle it for you sweetheart, just please don't cry anymore. I hate to see you cry."

She sat up a little slowly and hugged Jay, curling into him as he wrapped his arms around her, "Thank you Jay-Jay…" She whispered, relaxing against him as he promised to help her out.

She smiled a little at the memory, she had only been 17 and Jay was about 22. The reason she had gone to him crying was because of a guy who had made some very unwanted advances. Now that she thought about it, Jay had always been the one she had gone to. Although she and Adam were close, it was Jay who knew her inside out.

"What are you thinking about?" Jay asked her as he walked into the room holding the boxes that contained their unhealthy dinner.

"I was remembering times when we were younger. You always looked after me Jay-Jay." She said affectionately.

"Of course I did. You're my best friend Chaos. I love you." He told her, and they both knew that it was more than just that. They didn't need to say anything more though and Jay joined her on the couch, opening one of the pizza boxes.

"How did the taping go?" He asked her and she shrugged, not quite ready to share her confusion over the lack of chemistry in her kisses with Adam. Maybe when she understood a little more herself she would talk, though she imagined Jay knew that Adam had caused her musing.

"It went as well as it could. I left pretty quickly after Adam's match though… I just can't talk to him right now."

Jay understood, but he knew that sooner or later, Adam was going to come to him for answers, advice. Answers he didn't want to give. Advice he didn't want to give. He had, somewhere deep inside, always loved Katya but had always pushed it aside since he could see she loved Adam. She always had meant the world to him. Now though, now that he had Katya within his grasp… he would fight for her. It was a fight that he wasn't sure he could win… but he would sure as hell try anyway.


Author's note: I feel the need to forewarn you that the timeline will be all screwed up lol. It wasn't accurate in WotW and it won't be in here, things will be moving along as I need them too and of course Edge won't be injured or retiring just yet :P Things that have happened more recently might also get bumped up within the story depending on what I need to happen. Aside from that though, I'll try not to go too far out of 'normal' realms.

I hope you all enjoyed this chapter and I'm gonna shut up now, before this AN gets too long :P
