This is just a transition chapter between leaving Jeff and things getting back to normal.

Hope you like it.

Once Jeff was gone from sight Matt took Ry's hand and they walked back to the car. He got in and started the engine, then sighed and looked back down the driveway.

Ry- "He'll be O.K. Matt."

Matt shook his head.

M- "I've never left him like this before."

Agreeing silently he pulled the car into gear and drove back to town. Matt didn't really know what to do now. Normally he and Jeff would relax the day before a show, but Jeff wasn't there anymore. Yet he did have Ry and he was determine to protect her as he had Jeff. So the two decided it would be best to escape the media for the day. They relaxed at a park for the majority of the day, getting to know each other, and simply enjoying the freedom f evading the tabloids. As the day grew to a close and the conversation dwindled Matt finally surmounted the courage to ask Ry about her family. She tried to change the subject but Matt pulled out those chocolaty brown eyes and asked again firmly.

M- "Why don't you want to go home?"

She shuffled further away from the tree they were leaning against then answered.

Ry- "Because there is nothing to go home to."

M- "Why?"

Matt was pushing it and he knew it.

Ry- "My father is dead, my family hate me and the only reason our property is still running is because I'm working for the WWE!"

She folded her arms protectively.

M- "If you're the only reason you farm is still running then how can they hate you?"

R- "Because I came back from that drove and my dad didn't. I killed him Matt!"

She was trying desperately not to scream at him. So much so that when her words came out they were small and must have sounded pathetic.

R- "I'm the reason he's dead."

She said weakly as she got up and walked away from him. Matt jumped up to follow her

M- "Ry wait I'm sorry."

He grabbed her by the shoulder and pulled her back to him.

M- "Ry please I…I didn't mean to upset you. I just want to know what we're facing when we landing in Australia."

R- "Why do you need to know?"

M- "Because I want to be a part of you life. I want to know your fears, your dreams? What do you want out of this life?"

Ry sighed and looked Matt in the eyes.

Ry- "Matt I want to live. I want to have fun. Hell I want to do anything I want. And I defiantly do not want to go home. Not now that I can do all those things. Think about it Matt here, with you and Jeff, I have more than I've ever wanted. I've got freedom"

She slipped from his grip and sprinted ahead of him laughing. Matt smirked and ran after her, grabbing her and tackling her onto the grass. He whispered into her ear.

M- "The how about we head back to the hotel and have a bit of that fun you wanted?"

She nodded as he picked her up and put her in the car. As Matt got in after her he reassured her.

M- "Everything is going to be ok Ry. You're going home with me this time and things will be different."

How different will things really be when Ry goes back to work with Randy?

As always the WWE is filled with drama and the next show will be no different.
