I do not own Jeff, Mickie, Matt, Victoria, Beth or Vince McMahon

I do own Ry

Ry was waiting for Jeff at the curtain. She knew he could use a friend right now. When she had first been introduced to the WWE, she had seen Jeff in his prime, now it seemed like he was falling. Fading away, but she didn't know why. Why wasn't he happy? She knew that Vince was not being fair, but Jeff had been really pissing him off lately. She had noticed that he had been late to both their last shows. He was pushing the limits of Mr McMahon

She saw him coming up the corridor, joking with his brother Matt. Ry felt bad that they had to fight each other tonight. But hey the WWE fans really loved the Hardy boys and who was she to deny them that. She watched Matt continue talking and watched Jeff's dying smile. His eyes drooped to stare at the floor and he seemed lifeless again. His brother looked worried but had to jog ahead as his entrance music started. It was then that Jeff caught sight of Ry. She didn't mean to have been staring but she couldn't help it sometimes. He smiled at her as he walked up.

R- "Jeff be careful tonight"

J- "What do you mean, it's only Matt? Tonight will be fun"

Ry didn't believe a word he said with those sad eyes.

R- "Look Vince is in a weird mood tonight. Out there anything could happen."

J- "I know. I know Ry"

His eyes drooped once again so Ry put her hand to his chin and forced his head up.

Ry- "Don't worry Hardy, I've got your back"

He smiled as his music started up. He took a deep breath and forced himself into that happy Jeff persona. Then he bounced through the curtain. Ry could hear his fans screaming as Mickie skipped up to her.

M- "Aw have they left already?"

R- "You were just going to give them another speech weren't you?'

M- "Hehe yeah."

The girls stood and watched the match on the TV, round the corner from the curtain. It was a fun match to watch. Both the boys tried not to act like they were enjoying it. Pulling angry faces at each other whenever they could. Kinda cute actually. But things turned bad when Mickie and Ry saw the Glamazon running passed them. At first Ry was happy that her head was still on her shoulders til she saw the Glamazon running down the ramp to the match. Ry instinctively ran out to stop her from interfering Mickie trailed behind, understanding how the business worked like this. But Mickie changed her mind as the glamazon planted her lips on the youngest Hardy. As Ry crash tackled her off of Jeff, Mickie James thundered down on top of the she-man. But as Ry turned to find Jeff, Mickie didn't stop. He kept hitting her again and again. Even when thrown off or pulled off by Matt, Micie would be at it again. Leaving the Glamazon bleeding and remorseful. Ry ran up the ramp looking for Jeff as Matt slung Mickie over his shoulder (fireman style) and 'escorted' her out of the ring. Victoria ran to help Beth as Ry walked through the curtain. The two met with an icy stare. But Victoria wasn't her concern. She was worried about Jeff. He was upset and unpredictable, not a good place to be.

Poor Jeff, we all know whats wrong with him. But will Ry find him before it's too late?
