Fighting For Nothing
Jeff was in the hospital with the others. They were all sitting in Maria's room waiting for her to wake up.
"I can't believe this." Madison said.
"God, I hope she's okay." Christy said. She stroked Maria's hair moving it out of her face while holding her hand. Christy cared for Maria as if she were her little sister. So seeing the petite red head this way devastated her.
"Christy..maybe we should go." Alex said solemnly. I hate to drag away baby, but this is too much stress for you and I don't want anything to happen to the baby."
"Alex is right hun, you should probably go back to the hotel and get some sleep." Shannon said.
"No. I am not going anywhere until I know she's okay." Christy said with a shaky voice.
"Sweetie I'm sure she's okay, but Maria would want you to go and sleep." Madison said.
"Come on Christy. I'll go with you." Daphne said. Christy sighed and nodded reluctantly allowing Daphne and Alex to take her away. That just left Shannon, Madison, and Jeff.
"Jeff sweetheart are you going to okay?" Madison asked. Jeff hadn't spoken since Alex and Shannon pulled him off of Aj. It was as if his lips were sewn shut.
"Just...leave him alone Madi. He'll talk when he's ready. C'mon we should get going too. It's getting pretty late." Shannon said. Madison nodded and kissed Jeff goodbye on the cheek and then left with Shannon. Just him now. He took Maria's hand.
"Maria..God I'm so sorry I let this happen. It's all my fault. I should've just took your advice and dropped out of the match. None of this would've ever happened. I'm so sorry." He said. He leaned down and kissed her gently. He wasn't going to cry over this. He had already learned that that would get him no where. He needed to take action. And he would. He, Alex, and Shannon had already talked about this. Next week on TNA...if they saw Aj they were going to get him. He closed his eyes holding her hand to his forehead before he heard the door open.
"Excuse me sir, but visiting hours are ending now." The nurse told him. Jeff kissed his beloveds hand and slowly left the room. He couldn't wait til the next show.
TNA Impact
"So I've spoke with Maria's doctors and they told me she'd be clear to wrestle again in two weeks which sadly means she'll have to give up her title." Dixie informed Jeff. He nodded.
"I understand Dixie." He said reluctantly.
"I'm really sorry to have to do this Jeff...how are you doing?" Dixie asked curiously.
"What do you mean?" He asked.
"Maria told me that your doctors cleared you to wrestle?"
"..She did?" He asked.
"Yea, she had a note and everything." Jeff scoffed.
"Ha, Aj probably made her say that." He said.
"Really? Well in that case, I'm going to pull you out of the match tonight okay?" She asked.
"No. Dixie, you can not pull me out of this match. I need to be in this match. Tonight is the night that I win back what's rightfully mine. Maria and my dignity. I'm not letting that sleazy bastard get away with what he did to her! Tonight I am fighting Aj Styles Dixie and if I don't it that ring then I'm backstage, or in the street, or in the locker room. I don't care where it happens, but it is happening.
