Prayin' For Daylight
Part 1
Jeff looked down the hall when he heard Trish's familiar laughter echoing down the hall. She was standing with, Matt and Amy talking about her angle with Paul Heyman.
"I mean it Matt. I seriously went home after him talking to me and scrub until my skin feels about ready to fall off. He's so greasy and disgusting." Trish said.
"Dude.I know! He touched my underwear. UGH!" Amy squealed.
"You're telling me. He always tries to touch me and hug me and ewwww." Matt said in a high pitched voice.
"Shut up Matt!" Trish said.
Jeff knew that his presence was not known yet for Trish was still talking to everyone. Ever since he had told her his feelings at that bar over two weeks ago she had steered clear of him.
He stood back, happy to just watch her interact with his brother and one of his best friends.
"Hey Hardy!" Mark Calloway said as he walked pass him. Jeff jumped.
"Ready for that match tonight." Mark said. Jeff stayed quiet and looked down glumly when he noticed Trish had seen him and had walked away from the group.
"You alright boy?" Mark asked.
"Oh yeah, I'm good." Jeff replied.
"You know." Mark said as he followed Jeff's gaze directed towards Trish, "It's not good to be hung up on any woman."
"Excuse me? I'm not hung up on anyone." Jeff said, tearing his eyes away from Trish and stared at the taller man.
"Yeah right. So why is it that you're looking at me but thinking about Trisha." Mark replied.
"I'm not thinking about her."
"Sure. Look, just be careful tonight alright. There's going to be a lot of spots we need to make and I don't want you getting hurt." Mark said.
"I know Mark. I know."
"And maybe you should just tell her." Mark said carefully.
"I did that already." Jeff replied lackadaisically.
"Oh.and what'd she say to you?" Mark asked curiously.
"The truth. That she deserves better than me." Jeff said miserably.
"Oh." Mark said unsure of what to say, knowing that whatever was going on with Trish and Jeff probably had some deep roots.
"Yeah.so I'll see you out there okay." Jeff said starting to stretch.
Mark nodded and walked away.
The match was brutal. One of the hardest he had ever been in, in his whole wrestling career.
Trish looked at the monitor and winced as Jeff took another brutal bump from the Undertaker.
"Hey Trish, you okay? You look a little pale." Amy said as she moved her head uncomfortably in the neck brace.
"I'm fine." Trish said trying to concentrate on the match.
"So ummm.did you guys ever get everything settled?" Amy asked.
"Get what settled?" Trish said unable to tear her eyes away from the monitor when Jeff fell off the ring and into the announcer's table.
"You and Jeff.I mean I know I haven't been around lately."
"Amy.is he insane? Look!" Trish said pointing to the television.
"I'm used to it." Amy shrugged. "I'm not as worried about Jeff as I used to be.he didn't used to care about his body and now he does."
"But look at him." Trish said, wincing at the sight of Jeff's prone body bouncing on the mat.
"Trish.you're not looking so good.maybe you should go sit down in the locker room."
"No. I'll be fine." Trish said shaking off the hand Amy had placed on her shoulder.
Amy looked up and saw Matt standing behind them shaking his head. She walked slowly towards him and then followed him to one of the locker rooms.
"What's that about? I thought Trish was mad at Jeff.and yet there she is looking like she's taking all the bumps he's taking." Amy said in confusion.
"Hey I don't know anything. All I know is that Jeff and her disappeared from the bar one night and then she came back lookin' like she had been crying and her and Adam went back to the hotel. Jeff came back about a half an hour later lookin' like a trainwreck. All he said to me was that he was a complete dumbass and he fucked up. Now, I don't know what he fucked up but I'm pretty sure all this has something to do with what happened last year." Matt stated flatly.
They both jumped when Trish quickly walked into the locker room and grabbed her bags.
"Bye Guys." She said, as she walked away quickly towards the parking lot.
"Hmm.guess that means the match is over." Matt said shaking his head.
"Yep.let's go see what Jeff's having fixed." Amy replied as the walked to the medical room.
* sorry it's been so long guys, just moved back into my apartment at school. I'll have next part up shortly.
