The story is set in April of 2005, about 2 months after Matt Hardy and Amy (or Lita as she is known to WWE fans) broke up and Matt was just released from his WWE contract. Out of the blue, he meets the girl of his dreams and there is an instant attraction. Will a romance blossom or will Matt's fear of another break up get in the way?

I really hope you guys like this. Let me know what you think!

As he continued flipping through television channels, Matt Hardy grew restless. He glanced at his propped up surgical repaired knee, and he knew he really wouldn't be going anywhere. As he finally settled on a late night comedy show, he leaned back into his pillow and began to think about the past two months.

Up until then, his life had been perfect. He was one of the top WWE superstars, and popular with the fans. He had also been in a what he thought committed relationship with a girl he thought he would someday marry. In February, a mere 2 months ago, that all came crashing down when he found Amy's, or Lita to the WWE fans, cell phone and heard her voicemail that was left by Edge, or Adam Copeland. He then obviously told her to get out of his house. Now a couple of days ago, he was released from the only job he knew. He was no longer a WWE superstar.

Matt's thoughts were then interrupted as he heard a knock on the front door. "Come in," he called.

He smirked when he noticed his baby brother Jeff walking toward him. A look of confusion spread across his face as Jeff looked him up and down, shaking his head in obvious dissapointment.

"What?" Matt asked, rather annoyed.

"Man, it's been 2 months. Are you still sulking?"

Matt smirked as he turned off the tv. "Dude, I was in that relationship with Amy for almost 6 years! That isn't something I can get over just like that," he stated as he snapped his fingers. "Plus, I just lost my job. What else do I have to do? Besides, with my knee still in a brace, I really can't go anywhere."

"Well, Matthew, Beth and I are having some friends over tomorrow night. I expect to see you there."

"Who's all coming?" Matt asked as he sat up slightly.

"Like Shannon, Shane, Dad of course said he would stop by, and oh Beth's sister is coming."

Matt scrunched his face. "Beth has a sister?"

"Yeah. Her name is Taylor. She's 26, a couple of years younger than Beth. You knew that."

"No I didn't, seriously. Hmm...maybe it would help to get out of the house. Obviously sulking isn't going to help the situation at all."

"At a boy!" Jeff exclaimed as he slapped his brother's shoulder. "Well, I should get back to the house. I expect to see you tomorrow night. No excuses!"

"I got it, I got it!" Matt exclaimed as he watched his brother leave.

Meanwhile, Beth and Taylor were having a similar conversation at Beth and Jeff's house. "Beth...why are you so adiment on me meeting Matt?"

"Taylor...it's been like 6 months since you and Jake broke up. Now, I know what he did to you was horrible and unforgiving, but don't you want to give dating another try?"

Taylor sighed as she collapsed on the couch, her arms folded across her chest. Jake and Taylor were together for about a year and a half, and Taylor had been abused since almost the beginning. She finally gained the courage to tell Beth and their parents 6 months ago what was going on, but not before he put her in the hospital with injuries.

"Look, I'm not ready for another relationship. I just find it very hard to trust guys right now. I don't think you could understand because your lucky-Jeff treats you like a queen."

"Who says this has to turn into a relationship? Why not make another friend," Beth suggested.

"Who's making friends?" Jeff asked as he walked through the front door and sat beside Taylor on the couch.

"Taylor is making new friends. She doesn't understand why we want her to come to our party tomorrow night."

"Matt was the same way. Who wouldn't want to come? It's going to be a kick ass party!" Jeff exclaimed as he kissed Beth on the cheek and then skipped upstairs.

"See, it sounds like Matt is going," Beth said as Jeff walked away. "Besides, it won't be just the four of us. Alot of other people will be here as well. It will do you some good just to get out of your apartment and have some fun!"

Taylor noticeably rolled her eyes as she headed toward the door. "Fine! I will come tomorrow night with a big smile on my face."

"Good! That's what I like to hear," Beth exclaimed, with a smile on her own face.

As Matt slowly made his way inside the house the next evening, he was surprised how many people were there already. He noticed Jeff, Beth and Shannon Moore all in the kitchen, and made his way over by his friends.

"Still got the crutches, huh?" Shannon asked as Matt got closer.

"Yeah, but at least I'm walking with them. So it's a little easier," he said as Beth handed him a can of Diet Pepsi. Most of his friends knew that since he was still on prescription medicine he couldn't drink alcohol.

"I'm glad to see you came tonight, bro," Jeff said as he slapped his older brother on the shoulder.

Matt smirked. "Like I said, moping around the house wasn't going to help but dilema. If I mope around the house, I still don't have a girlfriend or my job, so I might as well be by my friends and mope!" Matt said sarcastically.

Within a few minutes, Matt was still in the group talking, and as he turned around, he saw the most beautiful girl walk through the front door. She had shiny brown hair, and the most beautiful brown eyes. Her smile was contagious, and not to mention she had a beautiful body. Jeff noticed his brother was staring off into space, and waved his hand in front of him.

"Hello? Earth to Matt!" Jeff exclaimed.

Matt blinked a few times, quickly realizing he was staring at her. "Jeff, who is that?" he asked, nodding toward the beautiful brunette.

"The girl in the jean skirt?" he asked as Matt nodded. "That's Taylor, Beth's sister."

Matt could only nod as he once again looked her way. He felt an instant attraction toward her, and when she returned his glance and smiled, he felt his heart skip a beat. He had to get to know this girl.
