'Fuck, Cat I'm so sorry.' Amy apologized in our shared hotel room the next day. I had just gotten back from in-ring training. 'I never would have said anything if I knew he was going to be so cruel with the information.' She looked at me regretfully.

'Look, let's just forget about it. Just promise me things will stay between us now.' I raised my eyebrows with widened eyes. I was mad that she couldn't keep a secret.

'Cross my heart.' She motioned a cross along her chest. 'I think Jeff feels really bad. I yelled at him for two hours.' That explains her angry face backstage. 'He'll apologize.'

'He's not going to talk to me, if I have anything to do with it.' I needed a subject change. 'How are things with Matt?' I teased.

'Friend-ly' she said matter-of-factly. I knew there was something there, she just wouldn't admit it. I rolled my eyes.

'On that note, are you coming to his party this weekend? Seeing as Smackdown is in Cameron and we don't have to leave till Sunday night for Raw is War.'

'I don't think so.' I said unenthusiastically.

'But why?' She whinged. 'Adam's going.'

'Because I have to travel with Hunter and Steph,'

'That's not what Steph said, and since when do you listen to Hunter?'

'Since two of the men I don't want to see will be there. I'm not keen on hiring an eight seater and sitting there with both of them of hours.' Jay got way to excited with us all hanging out.

'Why are you not talking to Adam? I don't get it.'

'It's hard to explain.'

'Try.' She begged. I couldn't shrug this off anymore; she was on a mission and the fiery red head was going to succeed.

I sighed. 'I feel bad.'

'Why?'

'I guess I've created all this extra drama that he doesn't need at the moment. I feel angry because I wish he told me about Alanah.'

'She doesn't mean anything to him, anymore.' She tried to reassure me. I wasn't going to let myself get upset. I'm small, but I'm strong, right?

'It's not like that.' This was so hard to explain. 'It's more that he wasn't open with me to begin with. All those times I caught him sulking at the bar, we had really deep conversations where he just withheld the reason to why he was so depressed, a broken marriage. And I'm angry at myself for not seeing something was wrong. Hunter told me he was going through "some shit" and Jay asked me if he told me everything… Trish asked me if he was okay!' I felt so stupid from this sudden realization, was I always going to be the last to know everything? How could people just assume that I knew?

'Let's not mess up The Gang over this.' She said. The Gang was the term created but Jay and Matt, and now suddenly used by Amy, in reference to the six of us. As far as I was concerned, I wasn't a part of any 'Gang' Jeff was in. I rolled my eyes, grabbed my things and headed for the shower, annoyed at Amy for being quite pushy. I hated talking about my feelings and there was no way I was going to let her see me upset twice in one week. When I got out of the shower, my phone rang and I was hesitant to answer until I saw it was Hunter.

'Oh, look Cat…' He mumbled after I answered the phone. Please don't change our travel plans. 'I know you don't want to travel with them but you can't come with me. Steph and I will be taking a bit of a detour alone so, I'm going to need you to take up Jay's offer and go with them.' Goddamn it! 'I think Vince prefers that you travel with them anyway.' I hung up the phone after saying goodbye, quite annoyed about this sudden change. At least Amy will be happy.

'Looks like you're getting your way.' I walked out of the bathroom, towel wrapped around my naked body and drying my long hair with another. 'I'll be heading to Cameron with you lot.' I said as I had my back turned to Amy.

'You're coming with us?' I heard a deep, southern accent behind me. I spun around and saw the dirty blonde younger Hardy. He looked me up and down, following my skin from my toes up. I froze feeling nervous and vulnerable, Adam had seen me dressed a lot less than this, and even naked, but never made my stomach turn over or my heart race. Jeff however, had full control of his facial expression which stayed completely blank. After what seemed like eternity, he pulled his eyes away from me, turned his nose up and sat down on a sofa, clearly unimpressed with what stood before him.

'I'm here to talk about Thursday's match.' He said calmly, looking out the window. I'm not a huge fan of the guy, but what I would do to find out what was going through his mind.

'I haven't read the script yet, all I know the match is Amy and you, versus Adam and I.' I stated blankly, arms still clinging to the towel that was covering my nakedness. Why the hell am I so nervous?

'Do you mind if I get changed?' I asked trying to be polite. I was all for professionalism with Jeff, but this was just getting weird.

'Yeah go ahead.' He said, sinking even more comfortably into his chair.

With an annoyed sigh, and the realization that he wasn't going anywhere, I grabbed my undies, a pair of blue jeans and a oversized white t-shirt from the suitcase I practically lived out of, ran back into the bath room and slammed the door. I could hear Amy saying something to Jeff but couldn't make it out.

I walked out of the bathroom while brushing my hair. Jeff's eyes turned to my hair, following the strands from the roots to where they end against my hip. I need to cut my hair; it's getting ridiculous to manage.

'I just want to see where you are at with your in ring work.' He said. 'Female wrestling is becoming really popular and-'

'Jeff,' Amy cut him off. 'She's great, leave our part to us.' Amy shut him down. I had noticed her annoyance at his OCD like behaviour when it came to setting up and performing matches. I however, really like knowing exactly what I was doing and found Jeff's organisation and direction easy to follow. This however, was a match, and I'd never wrestled in the same match as him.

'I just need to know-' He tried again.

'Leave that part to us.' Amy said in annoyance. 'We can integrate it all after together.'

'It's inter-gender, Amy, not mixed tag, and creative for some unforsaken reason want Cat to jump off the turnbuckle and onto the announcers table where I'll be lying.' He said, his face suddenly filling with anger.

'Cool.' I said with a smile.

'Cool?' His voice had hints of anger 'Do you even know how dangerous that is? You're so inexperienced you'll get hurt.'

'Like you care.' I snapped. That shut him up, clearly he didn't. Why would he? This guy was trying to destroy any ounce of happiness I had only a few days ago, it still hurts to see his face.

He stood up and went to walk out the door, not without saying 'You're right, I don't.'

Wednesday night we all met in the carpark of our hotel ready to leave for Cameron. I was tired from all the training I've done that day, practicing the jump. I was pretty confident with the distance, as long as I gave my jump enough height.

I literally jumped on Matt when I saw him, who swung me around. Matt and Jay had both become like brothers to me, Matt in particular. He had a great way of empathising with any of my problems and talking through my feelings. Jay was the one I went to when I wanted a laugh. I stood there with Amy, Matt and Jeff for the arrival of our transportation.

'So what's the plan?' I directed the question to Matt.

'Well we drive there, get home, unpack and part-ay'. He said shaking his arms around like maracas. 'You'll be staying in a room with Amy. Adam and Jay are taking the couches.'

'Wait, what?' I asked raising my eyebrows, I was under the impression I was staying in the hotel with the rest of the roster and crew, like usual.

'Um, yeah, because you said you would come with us, I assumed you would stay at mine too.' He said awkwardly. Great, just great! He was saved from Jay pulling up in a Torago, big grin on his face and waving his hands in the air. Matt went to grab my suitcase out of my hand.

'It's really ok Matt, I'll can put it in the boot myself.' I smiled.

He looked at me in confusion.

'How are you going to fit that giant bag in your shoe?' Jay grinned at me. 'She means trunk. She never learns.'

'Bloody oath!' I said in my best over exaggerated Australian accent.

Matt finally understood and laughed, but proceeded to take my bag. I turned and saw Adam standing next to me and put his arm around my shoulders.

'Are you ok?' he whispered in my ear. 'I haven't spoken to you properly in a while.'

'Fine,' I smiled at him.

'Are you angry at me?' He raised his eyebrows at me.

'Can we talk about this later?' I asked.

'We have to.' He was stern 'It's killing me.'

Before he could say anything else I jumped into the van and took the back seat. Amy sat next to me, Matt and Jay were taking in turns driving, and so in front of us were Jeff and Adam.

I woke up with only a half our left of the trip. Thank god for anti-histamines. I got up and looked around. When did the sun come up?

'Good Morning sleeping beauty!' Adam said loudly. 'You and Amy missed the breakfast stop!'

Jeff turned around and held or a paper bag, which I took from him. I looked inside, he had handed me a bagel. I thanked him quietly, confused.

'S'fine.' He shook it off.

'So are you excited about your jump?' Adam grinned at me, bopping up and down like a child on Christmas morning.

'Why would she be excited?' Jeff questioned.

'Um, because people can finally see how bad-ass she is? Adam said dryly.

'You shouldn't be encouraging her.' Jeff shook his head. How could he go from being nice and making sure I had something to eat to absolutely patronising?

I cleared my throat 'Actually yes, I am excited.' I stated matter-of-factly. 'It's nowhere as crazy as your match coming Wrestlemania, however. I think you are the ones who are completely crazy.'

Jeff chuckled. He is so weird.

When we arrived at the boys' residence in Cameron, we were shown our room and unpacked the few things we need. Amy and I rushed down stairs when we heard some loud yelling and uproar. We got to the kitchen as saw a blonde guy with a Mohawk on Jeff's back, literally holding him in a sleeper hold. Matt was yelling, as was the blonde on Jeff's back, but Jeff stayed calm, with a blank expression. He steadily walked with the blonde on the back out of the kitchen and onto the grass area of the backyard, and flipped him over his head. He walked back inside and sat down at the kitchen table, eating his already half eaten bowl of cereal.

I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned around. Matt was standing there with an older man. 'Cat, this is my Dad, Gill.' As I went to say hello, Gill pulled me into a big bear hug.

'You are even more beautiful than what Matt and Jeff told me.' He laughed. 'You must all be starving; tonight I'm making my famous fish fry!'

I was distracted from a giant splash of water which I heard from the backyard. I walked outside to see what all the commotion was about, and to a pleasant surprise I had found a pool, which Adam and Jay had clearly pushed each other into.

'Well who do we have here?' The spikey blonde turned his attention to me?

'My name's Cat.' I said waving. He had a big grin on his face.

'No, Shannon.' I heard Jeff say from behind me, still eating his cereal.

'I'm just being nice.' Shannon whined.

'She's out of your league.' He shockingly said before walking away. Shocking, because he always treated me like I was the dog shit he just stepped on.

The rest of the night was full of conversation and laughter, good home-cooked American grub, swimming and alcohol, which I didn't drink because Jeff said I was too young and had a big jump the next day. That was literally the only time he spoke to me that night.

The next morning I woke to my phone vibrating and a text from an unknown number. I didn't get the best sleep as I'm sharing a double bed with Amy and she sleeps like a star fish. I flipped open my phone.

'Get to the arena at 4.30 so I can work with you in ring before the show. I want to see the jump.'

Who was this? Demanding me to get there early. Not one of my official trainers.

'Err... Who is this?'

No reply.

I walked into the arena at 4.25pm, left my belongings in the locker room titled 'Edge & Christian', and made my way to find out who the weirdo is behind the text message that morning. As I walked down the ramp, I saw Jeff sitting on the apron of the ring, looking up at the lights of the arena.

'What kind of weirdo texts someone, demanding to see them and not tell them who they are?' I asked dryly. 'You could have been some sort of phsyco.'

'Then what kind of idiot shows up?' He snapped.

'I'm not doing this.' I turned to walk away, annoyed at the situation because I did think he had the best wrestling style and thought I could learn a few – ok a million – things off of him.

'Cat, get your stubborn ass back here now.' He said bluntly, almost yelling. It stopped me in my tracks and I turned around, mouth hanging wide open in shock, but didn't move. 'Or I'll come get you.' He warned, pointing at me.

He was so full of it, and I raised one eyebrow to let him know that I thought that. Calling his bluff, I turned my back and started walking up the ramp. All of a sudden, I heard a loud bang and then fast, heavy footsteps coming my way. It wasn't a bluff, and I was no match for him. He pulled me angrily over his shoulder and shoved me in the ring, smirking at the look of shock on my face.

'You are a physco.' I said wryly. To this he laughed.

'Do you have a finisher?' He asked.

Still trying to catch my breath from shock, my heart was racing 'N-no, not yet.'

'You're tiny so I suspect you want to be a high flyer?'

'Y-yes but-'

'What can you do?' He looked at me intensely, walking closer to me. His green eyes deep in mine as I walked back into the corner, and he followed stopping an inch away from my face. I could feel the heat of his body, his breath and I swear I could feel his heart racing as much as mine. He was so intimidating.

'Can you Moonsault?' He whispered.

'That was the plan, but Amy's doing it.'

'Show me.' He demanded. 'Do it onto the mat.'

Quite frankly, he scared the shit out of me, so as fast as I could I hopped up onto the turnbuckle. I went to jump but then thought about it.

'Don't hesitate, that's how injuries are made.' He said.

So I just went for it, and flipping back and landing on my stomach.

'Nice.' Jeff said, with a big smile of his face. 'Do it again, but turn as you do it.'

'Like a Corkscrew?' I asked

'Yes – exactly like it!' He was getting excited and his mood was lifting. I started to feel more comfortable and pulled the move off in one shot. My childhood gymnastics was paying off.

'There's your finisher – Cat Angel has found her wings.' He said happily, big beaming smile on his face. 'Call it the 'Angel's Wings''

I was super ecstatic I jumped up on Jeff and he caught me, spinning me around. Our moment was interrupted when his phone rang.

'Hey Beth…. Yeah I came early…I know I missed you last night…Vince needed me…I'm with Matt… Bye, Love you.'

'Why did you lie to her?'

'She gets jealous… our secret?'

'No, I've had enough of those.' My blood started to boil, I hated liars. 'And on that note, I'm still mad at you for everything that happened with Adam.'

He looked over at me like what I had said was amusing 'I don't care – deal with it.' He shrugged his shoulders getting out of the ring 'You won't end up together anyway.'

'How the fuck do you think you know that?' I asked in disgust. 'What gives you the audacity to think you could even-'

'I just know, we're eachother's boomerangs. Maybe you'll get that, Australia.' He smirked and left.

Boomerang? What did that mean?

MATCH

Team Xtream had made there entrance, throwing their Hardy guns and doing there punk dance moves, today they were really going for it. They wasted no time and ran to the ring, Jeff grabbed a microphone.

'Wait, King… that's not team extreme!' Cried Jim Ross.

'Yes it is J.R, can you not see?' King answered. 'Put your glasses on!'

'I have my glasses on King.' He muttered in annoyance. I love when these two bicker.

I scratched my head; this red wig was super itchy. I was also worried my pants were going to fall down, I literally borrowed Amy's clothes for this segment and she's a lot musclier than me, damn it.

'Hello Cameron, North Carolina!' Edge tried to make his best southern accent, however it was awful. Although it added a nice gimmick to the satire segment. 'We are so glad to be back in this city stuck in the 1800's' He laughed and handed the microphone to me.

'I'm sorry I can't talk to for long, my jaw hurts from all those men I have-' Christian snatched the microphone from me 'Calm down, Lita. No one wants to know of your ways.' He laughed.

After a few more insults, and epic boo's from the crowd, guitar music blared through the speakers and the real Team Xtreme wasted no time in running down the ramp and kicking our asses. I rolled out of the ring with Lita brawling on me, covering myself the whole time.

'Let them break us up.' I heard her say.

I felt Christian pull me off of her and saw Matt do the same for Lita. I jumped up on the apron, Jeff and Adam fully going at it, but Jeff really had the upper hand with his speed. He totally annihilated Adam with various moves.

'Tag me!' I heard Lita cry. 'I want him.'

'Oh we all know you want him!' I screamed out. Lita tried to jump into the ring but the referee stopped her, this left me to get up on the turnbuckle and perform a Hurricanna on Jeff and run out of the ring. Both men started crawling slowly to their partners, getting their tags at the same time. Both Lita and I ran into the ring, where she proceeded to jump on me with her brawl style of punches.

On the outside of the ring, Matt pulled Edge off of the Apron. The Referee saw this and argued with Matt. We used this distraction to our advantage – Christian pulled Lita out of the ring and kept her busy. Jeff jumped off of the ring to get Adam, only coming to find a chair shot to the head, which made him fall onto the announcers table which Adam had stripped previously.

'Oh my god JR did you see that?' King Cried.

'I did but the Ref sure didn't.' Jr said irritably. 'Wait what the hell is Cat doing?'

The crowd was cheering, cheering. So I posed with a wing gesture that I literally just came up with on the spot.

'I think she's found her wings, JR' King said happily.

I didn't hesitate, I just went for it. Landing right in the middle of Jeff's torso. I was so small he said it didn't really matter where I landed. Pain shot through my ankle and I whimpered.

'What, what?' He whispered in my ear, with almost a panic in his voice.

I'm not sure what happened, but my ankle must have landed on something. My ankle was done.
