Fighting For Nothing
Thanks to vampiregirl2009 vampiregirl77769, UnbelievinglyRandom, and Sophie for reviewing.
Maria was dressed in a purple halter bubble beaded mini dress. She did her makeup smoky and a little dark to look seductive. Her long red hair fell in heavy curls. She added her brand new black leather ankle boots as a finishing touch. She put on her favorite jewelry ever. It was the necklace and ring Jeff had gotten her for her birthday and for Christmas.

She always wore the necklace and jewelry. She grabbed her purse and she left her room off to the resturaunt.
Jeff sat at the resturaunt waiting patiently yet nervously for Maria. He was excited about their date, but at the same time he was scared he might screw everything up. He looked around fidgiting before spotting her standing at the entrance. Their eyes locked and they smiled at each other. Jeff pulled her chair out for her before taking his seat again.
"I'm glad you showed up." Jeff started.
"What? You thought I wouldn't?" Maria giggled. "Jeff I would never leave you hanging." She said. Jeff knew she said it that way to make him feel bad secretly. He held his head down.
"Maria. I'm so sorry. I was stupid and foolish for leaving you. It wasn't me being a man it was me being a retard." Jeff said. Pleading with her. Maria felt sympathy for him.
"Jeff. I forgive you. You don't have to apologize anymore sweetie." She said smiling sincerely.
"I get that, but I wanna make this up to you." He said. Maria bit down on her bottom lip.
"How?" Maria asked. Jeff extended his hand and waited for Maria to take it. When she did they left the resturaunt and wound up on the beach. They walked in the sand bare footed and splashed each other with water. The thing Maria enjoyed the most was when they laid down and watched the waves and the stars. Maria loved the beah at night time. She looked at Jeff and smiled. He smiled back at her before locking eyes with her. He leaned in and captured her lips in a passionate loving kiss. After a few minutes he pulled away from her. The rest of their date was spent in each other's arms in his hotel room. Jeff knew that their newly restored relationship would make the other TNA members believe that he was making his career out of sleeping with the general manager, but he didn't care. If that was the case then they would prove them wrong. All he knew was that he wouldn't give her away again.
A few weeks later on TNA was the pay-per-view. Shannon Moore was pacing back and forth backstage in his locker room. He was nervous. He was planning to propose to Madison today. They had been together for a whole year now. Today was their one year anniversary. He knew in his heart that he loved her so much. He wanted to be with her forever and ever. It was time for the Prince of Punk to settle down. A knock pulled him out of his thoughts. He went and opened the door and in came a sneaky looking Velvet Sky. She was dressed in the BCBGeneration Dress. It was black and strapless with beaded pockets with strappy black jimmy choos.
"Um hey Velvet, what are you doing here?" He asked. Shannon knew that Madison and Velvet had fuding for the past few weeks.
"Oh hey Shannon, I was just wondering if we could talk." Velvet said running a perfectly manicured finger down his chest. He pushed her finger away from his chest and furrowed his brow to her.
"Velvet I think you should leave. Madison wouldn't like you being here. I don't wanna get in trouble." He said. Velvet walked closer to him and put her hands on his shoulders.
"Oh don't worry. Trouble is what you live for appareantly. This won't be any worse than what your useed to." With that Velvet kissed him forcefully.
Madison was walking down the hall to her loving boyfriend's locker room to talk to him about their anniversary tonight when she heard Shannon talking to someone. The person he was talking to said something about trouble. It was a woman. She sounded like Velvet. Madison walked quickly to the locker room and stopped in the middle of the room. She felt her heart rate quicken. Tears came rushing to her eyes as she watched Velvet and Shannon's heated liplock.
"Shannon?" Madison squeaked. Velvet pulled away from him and smirked at Madison.
"I think should go now Shannon." She said. She kissed his cheek and walked off. Madison stood there tears falling freely from her eyes.
"How could you do this to me? To us Shannon. Why?" She cried silently.
"Madison wait. It's not what it looks like." Shannon tried explaining. Madison threw a viscious slap his way before running out of the room. Shannon stood there for a few minutes hurting before he let a few tears leak out.
Maria breathed as calmly as she could as she stood outside of Dixie Carters office. The last time she was inside the "presidents" office she was fired. This time she hoped it would be different this time. Especially since she asked for this meeting! She knocked lightly on the door.
"Come in." A gentle voice said on the other end. Maria went into the office and waved.
"Hi Dixie." Maria smiled. Dixie smiled back and motioned to a chair. Maria sat. "Dixie I don't wanna be the G.M anymore. I just wanna be a knockout." Maria said simply. Dixie frowned.
"But why Maria? Your're so good at your job. Don't you want to stay General Manager just for tonight anyways. Especially seeing as how Jeff has the big match against Van Dam tonight? If I make someone else G.M they might change the rules of the match." Dixie said. Maria took a deep breath and sighed.
"I know. I'm fully aware of that, but either way as long as Jeff has confidence in himself he still has a chance to win the match. Plus I'm just really tired of people saying the only reason he's getting this match is being we're sleeping together. That's not why Dixie. Jeff and I weren't even together when I made that match." Maria said.
"I understand Maria. Alright then. Maria you are relieved from your posistion as G.M. You are now hired as a TNA Knockout. Just sign here." Dixie said handing Maria a pen and some papers to sign. Maria stared at the papers for a minute. She took the pen and signed her name on the dotted line. She believed what she was doing was right for her. For her and Jeff.
Alex and Christy were in a 6 man intergender tag match. Their other partner obviously Chris Sabin. Right now Christy was in the ring fighting against Daphne who had teamed with Beer Money. Christy set Daphne up for a moonsault. She climbed the ropes and counted to three in her head before jumping off the ropes and hitting the perfect moonsault. She covered Daphne for the pin.
"1….2.." The Ref counted. Kick out. 'Damn' Christy thought to herself. She got and grabbed Daphne by the hair and dragged her over to the corner. She sat Daphne on the top turnbuckle before climbing on it herself. She put one of Daphne's arms behind her head and hit a suplex. After another failed pin and a few attacks from Daphne Christy tagged in Chris. Chris went straight for Robert Roode.
"You okay baby?" Alex asked his girlfriend.
"Yea. I'm fine. Feels good to be in the ring again." Christy said. She hadn't been in the ring for a while. She had taken a break and became the backstage interviewer. Alex smiled at her.
"You did great out there babygirl." He told her. Christy smiled.
"Yay. It's good to know I haven't lost my touch." Christy said before kissing his cheek and looking at the match to cheer for Sabin when he needed it. Finally Alex was tagged into the match. It was only a matter of time before he hit the Shellshock and picked up the win.
"Here are you winners Chris Sabin, Christy Hemme, and Alex Shelleyyyyyy!" The ring announcer exclaimed. Alex and Chris collected their titles before helping Christy out of the ring. They walked backstage.
"Alright guys. I'll catch you later." Chris said stalking off quickly down the hall.
"Man. That's like the umphteenth time this week that he's bailed on me." Alex sighed.
"What's wrong with him?" Christy asked. Alex shurgged.
"I have no idea. I'm not gonna worry about now though. I'm gonna go get my stuff so we can head back to the hotel." He kissed her cheek and left to his locker room. Christy pursed her lips and walked off in the direction Chris had gone. She found him sitting on one of the metal crates backstage drinking a bottle of water.
"Chris!" She called. He looked in her direction and hopped down. He started walking away. Christy frowned and followed him placing her hand softly on his shoulder to stop him. "Hey. I know you heard me back there. Why'd you run off?" Christy asked him.
"I ran off because I didn't wanna talk to you." Chris said harshly. Christy was taken aback. When he said that her mind flashed back to what Alex said.
"Man. That's like the umphteenth time this week he's bailed out on me."
She understood now.
"…..You've been bailing out on him because of me. He's spending more time with me than with you and you've become jealous." Christy said. Chris shrugged away from her.
"I bet you get the damn picture now Christy." Chris said before stalking off again.
Jeff had his big match against Rob tonight and he was ready. A knock came on the door of his locker room and he opened it. It was Rob himself.
"Hey man. Look I just wanted to say that I wish you luck in our match tonight. Whatever happens still friends?" Rob said.
"Till the fuckin end my man." Jeff exclaimed. Rob grinned and nodded his head as he walked away from the room. Then Maria walked in. She smiled at him.
"Hey baby." She said kissing him quickly. "What was that all about?" She asked.
"Rob just came to wish me luck." Jeff said. Maria nodded and hugged him.
"I would like to be the second person to wish you luck anddd I want to tell you something." Maria said.
"Go ahead." Jeff said.
"I quit my job as General Manager so that I could be a TNA Knockout." Maria said pulling away from him so that she could see his expression. He looked thoughtful and happy.
"Maria I love that you did that, but you didn't have to. I told you hun I could handle this. No matter what anyone says its not gunna make me think twice about being with you." Jeff told her. Maria nodded.
"Okay and I get that, but still…I wanted to experience the in-ring life again anyways." Maria said. Jeff smiled.
"Alright then. Look I'll see you later, but I have to go. It's showtime." Jeff kissed her cheek before leaving to go to his match.
Maria sat with all her new friends. In this bunch was , Christy Hemme, Madison Rayne, Shannon Moore, Alex Shelley, and Chris Sabin. Maria took note that Christy was mad and that Madison and Shannon hadn't talked since they came to watch Jeff's match. She made a mental note in her head to talk to them about this. Several minutes had gone by in Jeff's match. Both men were tired and they were starting to get tired. Maria watched anxiously. The show was almost over. Something had to happen. She sighed closing her eyes nervously.
"Oh my gosh! No!" Madison yelled. Maria's eyes snapped open. Aj Styles was in the ring. He had tossed Rob out of the ring distracting the ref and then he had hit Jeff with a chair. He ducked down on the ring. Rob sighed sadly. He didn't wanna win this way. He moved slowly towards the pin.
"1….2….
