~One Month Later~

I was hired to the company Lily was working for so I had a steady income coming in, and it did help some that Lily allowed me to stay at her place rent free until I am able to rebuild my finances in my savings along with other things. I had greatly appreciated Lily for what she has done for me, and honestly she was a blessing in disguise. She was even more appreciated that she was going to come with me to New York for the House of Hardcore wrestling event that Tommy had booked me on, which I knew Jeff was also going to be booked on. This was going to the be the first time that I would have seen much less talked to him since I had walked out on him a month ago. Lily had parked the car in a nearby parking garage, in which case I had led the way to where the arena was. As we had finally approached the arena, my hand was shaking as I reached out to grip the door to pull it open only to see a hand bypass mine pulling the door open for me. I looked at the tatted hand following it to the body that it was attached to knowing damn well who it was attached to. My lip was trying to quiver but I controlled it as I bit at my bottom lip backing up a couple of steps when I met eyes with Jeff.

"Are you okay?" Lily asked putting her hands on my shoulders as I looked back at her nodding as I turned to look back at Jeff.

"Jeff…this is Lily, Lily this is Jeff." I softly spoke as Jeff eye's had finally broke off of me then to the blonde woman behind me then I felt the eyes burning back into mine.

"Hi Lily, nice to meet you…afraid we hadn't met before and I do apologize for that." Jeff spoke.

"I feel like I already know so much about you Jeff…but think you two have a lot of catching up to do…you okay if I just go get lost?" Lily asked as I jumped a little wanting to shake my head no profusely but felt like if I had said no Jeff would have asked her to leave regardless.

"Please…but let us move this somewhere more private than the doorway." Jeff said as I hurried into the building hoping that I could get lost opposed to Lily but don't think Jeff would let me out of his sight as I felt my wrist being gripped then tugged getting me to turn around to face him. "What the hell? After everything I had done for you, all I get was a fucking letter saying that you couldn't do it anymore? Do what? Live in my house free until you got a job or date me? What did I do to deserve that? It was really fucked up." Jeff said feeling the anger and hurt in his voice, I knew he was trying so hard not to raise his voice right now as I knew that I had fucked up and tears were trying not to come out.

"I know that wasn't the right way to go about things but knew that I came to you and told you my plans you wouldn't have let it happen."

"Let what happen? Talk to me for Christ's sake April." Jeff said as I swallowed a ball of nerves.

"I feel like we went too fast into our relationship Jeff. I feel like the relationship wasn't real, that you didn't truly love me. You are telling me that if I had not moved in with you that the relationship would have came about? Before I moved in with you, you wouldn't even give me a second look in anything other than your student. You only begun to like me before you felt empathy for me, you wanted to be my knight in shining armor in which case you began to get to know me and the real me." I began to rant on.

"Where the hell did you get an idea like that?"

"Heather." I said honestly as he began to laugh.

"Heather? Are you fucking kidding me? Are you listening to yourself?" Jeff asked as he began to laugh pushing a hand through his hair as he paced in front of me. "I loved you April…you should never listen to Heather, you do remember Heather right? That girl was just saying that because she wants to get into my pants since day one and she was jealous because you got what she couldn't have." Jeff said as I then knew he was right as I bit at my bottom lip.

"I'm sorry Jeff but you said it yourself that you began to get feelings with me the more time that we began to spend together when I had moved in so what she said made sense."

"Did you not feel anything towards me then? It seems like it was so easy for you to leave me."

"No Jeff, it wasn't hard to leave you…thought it would be best so that I wouldn't lose you in the end. I have lost so much in my life and did not want to lose you too especially after everything you have done for me."

"You thought you were going to lose me? Really? Here I am wanting you back…why I have been trying to contact you over the last month trying to talk to you but you just blatantly ignore me…" Jeff said as I felt a tear roll down my face as Jeff sighed as he stepped in front of me feeling his hands cup my face. His thumb brushing over my cheek picking up the tears only for him to break the distance giving me a rough passionate kiss. The action surprised me nonetheless as he broke the kiss resting his forehead against mine. "Don't you ever do that to me again, okay? I like to think we all do stupid things for love and what you did was beyond stupid." Jeff said getting us both to laugh.

"It pretty much was…I've missed you Jeff."

"Missed you too. I love you April." Jeff said with a bright smile on his face.

FIN.
