Summary: Jesse Paige wanted to see the U.S. So, she set out on a road trip. She makes it through Geogia and South Carolina, and almost through North Carolina, but then her car breaks down...in the middle of no where. She sits in her car thinking of what to do, and she all of the sudden hears a voice. That voice was Jeff Hardy's. He appears out of the brush and looks at what happened to her car. He explains to her it was fried, and invited her to stay at his house for the night. She was hesitant at first but then excepted...Jesse was falling for Jeff, fast...but, she's starting to have disturbing dreams about her ex-boyfriend...they just don't feel right...Jesse was worried. She looked out the window wondering what was next to come.....

Chapter 1~

Jesse was a normal girl, she kept good grades, played sports, and listened to music. But she always wanted to travel the U.S., see the world, and West Palm Beach, Florida would be her starting point. She wasn't exactly sure where she would end up, but she knew it would have to be somewhere. So she packed up her stuff, said her goodbyes, and set off on her journey.
She was lucky she had a CD player in her car, otherwise it would of been murder trying to find rock stations wherever she ended up. So she popped in some A.F.I and set cruse control on her 1973 Mustang. The mustang wasn't exactly in the greatest shape, but Jesse was confedient it would last her till the end pf the trip. Jesse was enjoying the scenes, and was lucky to have the road to herself when, "CoughCoughSputterCough" and her car started slowing down. She remembered seeing a gas station a couple miles back, but it was getting dark and cold, she wouldn't be able to walk that far. Then the car died and Jesse's hopes were crushed, "There goes everything, I'm standed out in the middle of nowhere." She looked over all of the gauges and everything looked fine, she even had her car checked before she left, "Damn mechanic." "Are you alright?" A voice said, "You look stranded." Jesse said under her breath, "You got one thing right. Ummmm...Wher-" Jesse's voice stopped, that persons voice was someone she'd never thought she'd ever see, "You're Jeff Hardy." She could barely see him in the dim moonlight as he steeped towards the car, "Yes, I am." He said, "Pop your hood so we could see what's wrong." Jesse lifted the hood control, and then Jeff examined the car, "Yup, It's fried." "GREAT!" Jesse yelled, and started walking back the way she was coming before Jeff stopped her. He grabbed her by the shoulder and turned her around, he just then started to notice her looks, "Where you going?" "I'm going home." Jesse said. Where you live?" Jeff was curious to know, "Florida, Why?" Jeff laughed, "You're in North Carolina sweetheart." Jesse moaned and was to the point of crying, "Why don't you stay with me tonight? I have a guestroom, there's no hotel for miles, and we can't do anything about your car tonight, and for the next two days, business holidays, yah know." Jesse leaned up against her car thinking out loud, "Yeah, okay, stay with a total complete stranger." And she slid down the car and sat on the ground, "Hey now!" Said Jeff, "I won't bite." Jesse got up, "Yeah, Maybe staying with you won't be so bad, after all, I am a little tired." "GREAT!" Jeff exclaimed and he helped her grab her stuff and the crossed the field to Jeff's house.
It seemed almost forever crossing the field to get to the house. Jesse was really tired. Jeff turned around, smiled and said in a sweet southern accent, "We're almost there, sorry for it taking to long." Jesse just nodded and continued to follow Jeff. Finally, they reached Jeff's house, "Here we are, your home away from home." Jesse laughed at the thought and took Jeff's invitation to go inside. He had a nice place, very well cleaned, most bachelors are messy and there would be beer cans all over the place. Seemed like Jeff was different than the others, well, obviously if you ever seen him on the WWE, "I'll be right back, I'm goina take your stuff to the room, and get everything set up." Jeff said, "Feel free to sit on the couch." Jesse sat and sunk in, it was a very comfortable couch, she thought to herself, "It's ashame that such a nice guy lives all alone."

^^^^^^^^Meanwhile^^^^^^^^

"Maybe she'll stay awhile....nahh." Jeff thought, "She wants to keep going, wherever she's going." Jeff was getting to bed together, and set Jesse's stuff on the floor over in the corrner, she seemed like a WWE fan because she knew who he was, most people don't know who wrestlers are because they don't watch it. He laid out the covers and went down stairs to find Jesse writing in her journal, "You, uhh, want something to drink?" He was overtaken by Jesse's gorgeous blue eyes, they stood out with her blond hair, he didn't notice them outside, "Sure, why not? Water, please." Jeff walked into the kitchen to get them something to drink, and came out a few mintues later with 2 glasses of water and some cookies, he found Jesse still writing in her journal "I thought you might of been a little hungry too." He said as he sat down on the couch, Jesse took a big bite of the cookie and said, "Gee, I sure was!" They both laughed and Jesse went right back to writing, "Whatcha writing about?" Jeff asked, "How my day went." Jesse exclaimed, "Don't worry, nothing bad about you." Jesse looked to both sides as if she were hiding something. Jeff didn't bother, although he did want to know. There was silence for a few moments, "Well," Jeff said, "What's your name anyways?" Jesse put down her pen and closed her book, "You're right...WHERE THE HELL ARE MY MANNERS!!!???" Jeff laughed, "My name is Jessica Paige, but please, call me Jesse or Jes. Nice to meet you Jeff Hardy." She held out her hand and Jeff nodded and shook it. "Why you out here? In the middle of nowhere, for christ sakes you could of frozen to death out there if you didn't stop in front of my house." Jesse sat back for what seemed like a long story, "I'm on a road trip. I wanted to go anywhere and everywhere in the U.S." Jesse took a long sigh, "But, I guess that's not possible now." She looked down. "Hey, Hey, Hey, Don't get so down, you'll be back on that trip in no time." He regreted saying that, for a few hours he got to know Jesse a little bit more, and became a little bit more attracted to her each second. He loved her eyes especially, he hair was long, blond, and straight, with black and blue streaks. Jesse was tall, slender, and well-built. Jeff guessed she worked out. Jeff really didn't look forward to tomoroow when he had to take Jes to a hotel. Then again, he could talk her into staying a couple more days.
"Well," Said Jes, "If you don't mind, I've been driving since 5:30 this morning." She said with a yawn, "I'm going to go to sleep." She got up and started walking to the stairs, "Wait!" Jeff said, "You don't know where the room is." Jesse turned around and tugged at her hair, "Stupid blond hair! I hate you!" Jeff laughed, "Don't hate your hair, you look sexy with it." Jesse guessed that he was kidding and let Jeff walk past her to show her to her room. Jesse thought Jeff was gorgeous, he seemed like the perfect gentlemen, also having the perfect body. She wasn't really writing about her day in her journal, she was writing about how hot she thought Jeff was. It all seemed a little strange to her, she's been watching WWE since Jeff first appeared on it, and she wasn't really attracted to him then, but it was different this time.
"Here you are," Jeff said so sweetly, "It's all set up." He looke don as Jesse flopped back onto the bed and fell asleep, "Was she really that tired?" He wondered. He walked over and pulled the sheets over her, and she shifted to become more comfortable, "Good night." Jeff whispered as he shut off the lights and walked to his room, he opened his journal and started writing:

Hey,

Today was good. I woke up went to work, got home early and I am off for the rest of the week. That's the good part, because this girl's car broke down in front of my house. She is really gorgeous and her name is Jesse, when I first caught a glimpse of her I thought, "Could this be her?" I'm not sure, but she sure is nice. I hope she can stay for a while. I wonder if she motorcrosses? She is sleeping now. I wonder what she could be dreaming of. Well, Those were the highlights of the day. I'll update more on her soon.
Yours truly....Jeff Hardy
Our truly....this life

Chapter 2~

Jeff woke up the next morning at about 12:30. It felt good to sleep in he thought. He laid in bed for about 15 more minutes untill he decided to get up. He thought maybe he'd find Jesse up. So, he got dressed and walked to her room. To his surpise, she wasn't up. He was hoping she was. So he shrugged and started walking downstairs towards the kitchen, "Jeff? You up?" He tiptoed back to the doorway, "Yup, I was just checking on yah. I haven't been up long." Jesse sat up and said, "Oh." And laid right back down. Jeff just then had an idea, "Awww, no you don't. If I can't sleep anymore nether can you!" He then dragged Jesse out of bed. Jesse shrieked and started kicking. Once Jeff finally got her out of bed, she crawled right back in, "Fine, if you want it that way." Jeff said and flopped on the bed, just missing Jesse, "Hey Now!" You almost squished me. Jeff laughed, "Damn, I missed." And he got up and went downstairs. He was hungry. Jesse got up and followed. She sat down at the table, "What do you fancy?" Jeff asked. Jes sat and thought for a few moments, and said, "What kind of cereal you have?" Jeff searched through his cabnet and said, "Lucky Charms, is that okay?" "Absolutley!" Jesse said, and waited patiently for her food. A few moment later, Jeff came out with 2 bowls of Lucky Charms. "So, tell me about yourself." Jeff said. Jesse looked up from her bowl and said, "Well, What do you wanna know?" "Anything that comes to mind." Jeff said. So Jesse started with her birthday, her favorite food, her favorite sports, and what she hopes to do in the near future, "Do you motorcross?" Jeff asked. "No, I can't say that I do." Jesse said swallowing a bite of cereal, "But I watched you once on one of your videos. Seems like fun. Nothing I would do." Jeff thought to himself, "Maybe I could talk her into trying sometime." Jesse pushed away her bowl and got up from the table, "I'm done. I'm goina go get dressed." "Okay." Jeff said finishing his bowl and going to put the bowls in the sink. He has got to talk Jesse into staying. He walked back upstairs and knocks on Jesse's door, "Jesse? You got a minute?" "Yeah hold on a sec." She yelled through the door. She came out a little while later. Jeff didn't realize how good she looked in a baby tee of Team xtreme, and jeans, "Whats up?" She asked, "You looked worried." Jeff tapped at the ground with his foot, "Umm..Will you stay with me like forever?" Jesse was astonished, "Jeff? We uhh..Just met yesterday." Jeff looked up at her, "I know, it's just that, it feels like we're best friends already. We get along great, and with both have the same likes and dislikes. It almost seems like it was meant for us to meet." Jesse looked Jeff straight in the eye after thinking, "Yes..I will." Jeff became so excited, that to celebrate, he took Jesse out to a club.

"Wow! I've never been to a club like this." Jesse said over all the noise. Jeff grabbed her and they both started dancing. the danced for a while until they needed a break, "You're a pretty good dancer." Jeff said. "You're not to bad yourself Jeffery." Jesse joked. They walked to the bar to get something to drink, "What do you fancy?" Jeff asked, "Pina Colada!" Jesse shrieked. She loved Pina Colada's, Jeff got one too. After their drinks they went back to dancing, and decided to go home about 3:30 in the morning. "I had lots of fun tonight Jeff." Jeff looked over and said, "I'm glad you did." And they pulled into Jeff's driveway and walked inside. They both walked upsatirs and said their goodnights. Jesse watched from the doorway as Jeff walked into his room, and she grabbed her journal and sat on her bed and started writing:

Hey you,

I had a blast! I guess you can say I'm living with Jeff now. I have to call my parents tomorrow. I think it would be nice living here with Jeff. Maybe he could teach me how to motorcross. That would be fun. I wonder what he has planned for us tomorrow? I'm living with one BIG kid. He's so cute that way. I'm tired, it's 4:45 now. G'night

Chapter 3~

Jesse woke up the next morning feeling dirty. So she'd thought she should take a shower, she grabbed her stuff from her bag and went to the guest bathroom. She took a nice warm shower which made her feel alot better. As she was coming out, Jeff was just waking up. Which scared the hell out of him, "Whoa! Where'd you come from?" He said, "The question is..." Jesse said as she glared at him, "Where did YOU come from?" Jeff laughed and continued walking, "I came from my room, Are you hungry?" Jesse shook her head, I'm not hungry now, I'm goina get dressed and I'll be down in a moment.

After getting dressed, Jesse walked downstairs to find Jeff sitting at the table drinking a cup of coffee, "Coffee?" Jeff asked. Jesse thought for a moment and replied, "Sure, Why not? I could use the energy rush right about now." So she grabbed a cup and sat down across from Jeff. They sat in silence a few minutes untill Jesse broke it, "You sure did dance good last night..Are you comfortable like that all the time?" Jeff looked up and said, "Yeah, I guess, I party alot too so it took me awhile to become that comfortable. Why do you ask?" Jesse said, "Because I have to know someone really well or trust them enough to dance with them. Everytime I go out to clubs I always turn down at least 10 guys because I don't trust them." Jeff laughed, "So I guess I was an exception." Jesse nodded and took another sip of her coffee. "So what do you wanna do today?" Jesse asked. Jeff finished his cup and got up to put it in the sink, "I thought you might want to go shopping. New Roomate." Jesse got up to put her cup away, "Sounds like a good idea, being that I was smart enough to get dressed now rather than later. I'll wait." Jeff ran upstairs to get ready. Jesse sat on the couch, waiting, waiting, and waitng, "Jeffe-" She stopped as soon as she noticed Jeff coming downstairs. He looked good, he was dressed in baggy pants (they were baggy, but looked just right on him.) and a OMEGA t-shirt, "You take to long man! I'll drive." Jeff lead Jesse outside, "Oh! My car. I forgot." Jeff looked at her and said, "I had a friend of mine get it fixed for you. It'll be ready to go soon." "Gee, Jeff, You didn't have to." Jesse said as she looked into Jeff's eyes, "Well, I did." Jeff said looking back into hers. Jesse felt as if something was going to happen, but then he snapped out of it, "I guess I have to drive then." "I guess you do." Jesse said hoping into the front seat of the corvette, "Funny, I pitured you driving a Mercedes or something.." Jess said. Jess put the car into gear and sped off, "Me?! No way! Those are some ugly cars, and very pricey too. But I'm happy with my baby." Jesse laughed. "What do you wanna listen to?" Jeff asked. "How bout some A.F.I?" Jesse asked. Jeff agreed and put in some of A.F.I's new CD and blasted it.

AT THE MALL:

"I'm hungry now." Jesse said, "Can we get something to eat?" They walked to the food court to eat, Jesse got some Seasame Chicken, and Jeff got some Bourbon Chicken. They ate and talked, "So hows the chicken?" Jeff asked. "Good wanna try some?" Jesse said. "Sure, why not?" Jesse put some chicken on the fork and fed it the Jeff, "Wow! That's really good." Jeff said, "Want some of mine?" He put some of the chicken on his fork and fed it to Jesse, "Not bad," Jesse said, "Need some hot sauce. Nothing is complete without any hot sauce." Jeff laughed as he finished up his lunch. Jesse finished up right after him, and they walked around for a few hours. Then they decided to leave, "I had a great time tonight." Jesse said, "Oh shit." She yelled. Jeff stopped the car, "What?! What's a matter?" Jesse looked at him woth worry in her eyes, "I forgot to call my parents!!" Jeff laid his head back on the seat, "God damn woman don't scare me like that." "Can I use your phone when we get back?" Jesse asked, "I promised I call them in a few days." "Yeah, Sure." Jeff said, "No need to ask anymore, it is your house now too yah know." Just then, Jeff's cell phone rings, "Hello? Yeah, Hey! What's up. Now? What color? Green? Okay. Tomorrow at 4 alrighty then." And he hung up the phone, "Who was that?" Jesse asked curiously, "Uhh. You're car is ready. We have to go pick it up tomorrow." Jesse jumped for joy. Although she did wanna know what the green part was for.

THE NEXT DAY:

"Jes! Are you ready?" Jeff yelled.

"Almost! Hold on!" Jesse shouted back. And she came down stairs, Jeff loved her sense of style, she was wearing her new Pearl Jam shirt, and plaid pant's she bought yesterday.

"So how'd the phone call go with the folks?" Jeff asked.

"Oh wonderful. My mom never listens to me, and thinks I'm going out with you now." She said as she hopped in the car. " That could be arranged." Jeff joked. Although he really wanted it to. Little did he now that Jesse wanted it to be also. They rode in silence the rest of the way. When they finally arrived, Jesse already knew what was coming, "Oh Jeff, Not again. You really didn't-" Jeff stopped her and said, "Well, I did." And he handed her the keys to her new 2003 Convertable Ford Mustang, "I had the guys trade the old one in and they got it all paid for and everything." Jesse was speechless as she ran her hand across the hood of the car, "Oh my gosh, It's like a dream come true! I always wanted this car, and in this color too!!" Jeff was astouned by her reaction, "Good I'm glad your happy with it. Now hop in and I'll follow you home to make sure your new car doesnt fry. I dont think the last one liked you very much." Jesse hopped in and started the car, she was so happy.

.:Jeff's Car:.

*I'm glad she's happy with it.* Jeff thought to himself as he followed a speeding Jesse, *Should I tell her tonight?* He asked himself, *Maybe I should.* Jeff debated with himself the rest of the way home.

Chapter 4~

=Jesse's New Car=
*This was sooo nice of him! Even look at the new system!!* Jesse marveled and looked out through the rear view mirior. She really couldn't belive Jeff would do something like this, No one has ever done anything like this for her. It's almost like a early birthday gift. *What if this means something?* Jesse thought *What if Jeff didn't do this all out of just being friends?* Jesse thought as she pulled into Jeffs driveway.

Jesse turned off the car and jumped out, and waited for Jeff to pull in and get out of his. As soon as he did, Jesse ran over and gave him a big hug, much to Jeff's surprise, He wasn't really expecting it, "Geez, It's only a car." He said, "Jeff, It's more than a car to me. No one has ever done anything like that for me." Jesse said. Jeff could only smile as they both walked inside and they both sat on the couch, "So, Whatcha wanna do now?" Jesse asked. Jeff looked at her, "Wanna watch a movie?" Jesse nodded as Jeff got up and walked to the movie case and searched for a movie. Jesse sat paitently when Jeff turned around, "Yah know what? I don't feel like sitting at home and watching a movie. Let's go out." Jesse agreed, "I'll drive this time." As they both walked out the door to her car.

AT THE MOVIES:

"So what do you wanna see?" Jeff asked

"I don't know," Jesse exclaimed, "It was your idea to come here."

"Okay, I see how it is now." Jeff looked at what was playing, "Lets see Darkness Falls. I've been wanting to see that." Jesse was okay with it, "Okay, I've been wanting to see it too."

So the bought their tickets got some sodas and sat in the theater. Then the movie started. Jeff could see Jes tense up when the scary parts came on, so he put his hand on hers, and whispered, "It's just a movie." And kissed her on the cheek. That frightened Jesse a little more. She didn't know what to think. But she sure was a sucker for Jeff's green eye's, she good see them in the light, or what light they had, as Jeff continued looking at her. She then became happy that they sat in the back.

Jeff loved Jesse's eyes they looked gorgeous in the dark...they seemed to glow a little. Jesse continued to stare back at him. They were missing the movie, but Jeff didn't mind. He was sure since Jesse was staring at him she didn't mind either. Jeff leaned in for a kiss, and kissed Jesse softly on the lips. She didn't kiss back. He wasn't expecting her to. He leaned in and kissed her again, this time more passionatley, she didn't resist, so he deepened the kiss, untill Jesse pulled away.

"I..I'm sorry..I c-can't." Jesse said as she ran out of the theater. Jeff followed.

"Jesse!" Jeff yelled. Jesse was half down the hall, running. Jeff ran as fast as he could to catch up to her. He was catching up to her, as soon as she ran out of the building. As soon as Jeff exited the door, Jesse was gone, "Where the hell could she of gone?" He had an idea where. So he went and found her car, sure enough, he found her. She was in the car crying. Jeff opened the door to a shaking Jesse, "Jes, May I have a seat?" He asked. Jesse nodded still shaking she said, "Of couse, I'm your only ride home." Jeff was worried about her, "Wanna talk about it now or later?" He asked. "I don't care. I'd rather not." Jesse said. "Jes, I'm sorry..It was..a umm..reaction, I guess. I'm so sorry. I real-" Jesse cut him off, "No," She snapped, "It wasn't your fault. It will never be." Jeff grabbed her hand, "Then will you talk to me?" Jesse could only look at him, "I think you should drive." She said. The rode in silence most of the way home, as soon as Jeff was getting ready to turn into the driveway Jesse asked, "Could you please keep driving?" Jeff figured she was ready to talk.

Chapter 5~

"Sure thing." Jeff said, "Are you ready to talk?"

"Yes.." Jesse said, "But I don't want to talk to you why your driving. Where's the nearest beach?"

"About a mile or two."

"Can we go there then?"

"Of course."

They kept riding until the reached the beach. Jeff found a parking spot that looked right out over the ocean, "Now, What happened becak there?" Jeff asked. Jesse looked up at him, "I uhh." Jeff took Jesse's hands, "It's okay, you can talk to me about anything, not a word of it will leave my mouth." Jesse smiled. It also made Jeff smile too. God! How comfortable he made her feel, "Okay, It was a couple of years ago, I was down in Florida, with my ex." Jesse tried to fight back the tears, "And the exact same thing happened what just happened. We..weren't exactly dating, we..we were just friends at the time. And one night we decided to hang at the movies. We sat in the back, and then he kissed me." Jesse started crying and she covered her face with her hands, "Shhh...It's okay sweetheart." Jeff said as he lifted her head to his, "Take your time." Finally when Jesse collected herself, she continued, " I then realized after he kissed me I was in love with him. So we started to date. Things were going well for a couple of months, and then his attitude changed and he started to beat me. I left him, avoided his phone calls, and luckliy was never home when he came over. I'm sorry Jeff, It's not like I don't trust you, I really do, It's just that I don't want to make that same mistake." Jeff leaned over to hug her, "I understand, Jesse?" Jesse sat up from his big arms and wiped a tear from her eye, "Yes?" Jeff took a long sigh, "I love you." Jesse sank in the seat, "Jeff we uhh, havent even known each other that long." Jeff sat back, "I know, and I realize that this probably isn't the greatest time to tell you, but I just needed to get rid of it, we seem absolutley perfect for each other. If you'd just give me a-" He was cut of, Jesse was staring at him giggling, "God damn girl you laugh at such serious moments!" Jeff screamed. Jesse could only laugh more, " I'm sorry, you just got so hysterical, it was funny." "Jesse, please be serious." Jeff gave her sad eyes, she couldn't help but answer, "Jeff, I'm willing to give it a chance. I love you too. So very much." Jeff was happy to hear that. He leaned over and kissed her, this time it was longer, and more passionate than the one in the movie theater. Jeff ran his hand up Jesse's thigh as they kissed, Jesse was the first to stop, "We should be going now. I'm tired." Jeff agreed. He started the car, and drove home. They pulled into the driveway. And sat for a few seconds, Jesse was the first to get out of the car. Jesse walked in holding hands with Jeff they both went upstairs, and instead of Jesse going to her room to sleep, she followed Jeff, "What are you doing?" Jeff asked, "Well," Jesse said, "After talking to you about what happened, I would feel safer sleeping with you tonight." Jeff didn't mind. So they both changed and got into bed together, they talked for a while, Jeff was playing with her hair, then she looked into his eyes, and he started kissing her. He laid her back ever so gently, and slowly removed her shirt, as Jesse slowly removed his shorts. They began to slowly and passionatley make love. Afterwards Jesse fell asleep in Jeff's arms.

Chapter 6~
The next morning Jesse awoke to Jeff looking at her, "What are you starting at?" She asked. "I'm looking at how beautiful you are." Jesse only smiled and laid back down in Jeff's chest and closed her eyes, "Jeff?" Jesse said, "Yes?" Jeff answered. Jesse sat up, "I'm really sorry about the way I acted last ni-" She was cut off by Jeff as he put his finger to her lips, "Shh. Shh. No worries. I didn't know, and besides, it's all in the past now." Jeff said as he smiled and softly kissed her on the lips. He made Jesse feel so good about herself, more than any other boyfriend she's ever had.

Jesse got out of bed first and got dressed. Jeff just sat there and watched her, "Are you goina get out or what?" Jesse asked, joking around, "I'll get out when I'm good and ready." Jeff glared at her. Jesse only laughed and went downstairs to call her parents.

"Hello." Jesse's Mom said.

"Hi Mom." Jesse said excitedly

"Oh, Jesse, How have you been?"

"Oh Mom I'm great! In case you have forgotten, I'm living with Jeff now, my boyfriend."

"I know, Jes, I'm not that old." Her Mom said as Jeff walked in.

"Here he is now Mom. Would you like to meet him?"

"Sure." Jesse's Mom said as Jesse handed the phone to Jeff.

"Hello?"

"Hello? Jeff?"

"Hello Mrs. Paige."

"Oh please Jeff call me Beth, or Mom." She said as she giggled.

"Heh. Heh." Jeff said uncomfortably, "Okay...Mom." He handed the phone back to Jesse.

"MOM!" Jesse yelled, "I know what you said to him. Stop that!"

"I'm sorry Jesse, I couldn't resist." She said, "So when are you goina bring Jeff down here so we could meet him, and to get your stuff?"

"Soon mom, soon." Jesse said, "I gotta go. Bye." Jesse said as she hung up the phone, "Sorry Jeff, I'm so sorry. She's so embarrassing." Jesse said covering her face to hide the red in her cheeks. Jeff sat down next to her laughing, "It's alright, sure it made me feel---funny, but it sure was funny to see the look on your face when you figured out what she said." Jesse playfully punched him in the shoulder, "Oh!" Jeff said, "So, you wanna play dirty?" Jeff started tickling her, they fell on the floor of the living room, when Matt and Amy walked in, "Whoa!" Matt said, "Are we interrupting something?" Jeff stood up off the floor and helped Jesse up, "Umm. Matt, this is my girlfriend, Jesse. Jesse this is Matt, my brother and his girlfriend Amy." They all shook hands. Jeff walked over to Matt and took him aside, "Bro, What the hell are you doing?" Matt stood back trying to avoid anything, "You said walk in if the door is unlocked." Jeff looked at him, "Yeah, that was when only I was living here." Matt looked confused, "Wait, She's living with you now?" Jeff nodded, "She's my girlfriend now." Matt could only say, "Of course she is, You are forward with things like that." Jeff was glad Matt understood.

***In the living room***

"It's nice to meet you." Jes said.

"You too. How do you know Jeff?" Amy asked.

"Oh, well my car broke down in front of his house and he invited me stay, and one thing lead to another. And now we are going out." Jesse said.

"Good for you," Amy said, "Your in good hands now."

"Thanks that makes me feel really good about my decision." Jesse said as the two brothers walked in, "Why did you guys come in the first place?" Jeff asked. Matt and Amy looked at each other, "Well, we wanted to see if Jeff wanted to do something today. But I guess we have to make room for one more" Amy said. Jesse looked at Jeff, "Sounds good to me...a double date kinda." Jeff agreed, "Where will we be going then?" He asked, "Well, we were thinking lunch, then the beach for a few hours." Matt said. Jeff and Jesse liked the sound of that. "Good," Matt stated, "We're all ready, you guys go get ready, and we'll wait in the car." Jeff and Jesse quickly ran upstairs. A couple minutes later Jesse walked out just about the same time as Jeff. He was overtaken by Jesse's sense of style, once again. She was wearing a bikini, with long shorts on. Both the same colors and design, green on blue, blue on green, with Hawaiian flower print. *She looks good* Jeff thought as he put her arm around her and walked downstairs with her.

Matt and Amy were waiting in the car. Jeff and Jes hopped in the back seat, "So where you guys feel like going?" Matt asked behind the wheel. Jesse thought for a moment, "How 'bout a couple of Big Mac's?" Jeff instantly agreed, "Jesse, did you know that was Skittles favorite?" Amy asked. Jesse looked confused, "No. Skittles?" She asked looking at Jeff, "Yeah, Skittles." He said, "I love them and I swear, I eat them so much my hair is permanently staying rainbow colored." He laughed. They rode to McDonald's, "Hey, We're right across from the street from the beach, you just wanna take out, and bring it over there?" Matt asked. Everyone seemed to agree. So they ordered their food and drove over. They sat down and ate, Jeff and Jesse were the first to finish. They were eager to get into the water and play around. They got up and raced eachother to the shore. Matt and Amy stayed back on the blanket still eating.

"They seem to be getting along well." Amy said watching Jeff push Jesse underwater.

"Yeah, they do." Matt said, "I'm happy for him."

"She looks like a nice girl, too." Amy said.

"Yeh." Matt said as he ate a fry.

^^^Down by the water^^^

"Haha! Gotcha!" Jeff yelled.

"Paybacks a bitch!" Jesse screamed as she went after Jeff.

"Oh help me! I'm goina die!" Jeff said sarcasticaly. Jesse caught up to Jeff and grab him by the waste and pulled him over. As Jeff surfaced, Matt was in front of him, "Holy Shit! I wasn't expecting someone to be in front of me." "I'm not goina let anyone do that to my little brother." Matt said as he looked from Jeff to Jesse, Matt looked like he was ready to take someone out, "Only I could do that to him." Matt laughed as he pushed him underwater. Jeff came up quickly and pushed Matt under. Amy swam over to Jesse, "Boys will be boys. But yah know, Girls will be girls too!" Amy said as she pushed Jesse under.

All four of them had a good day, untill they decided to call it a day around 5:30. They were there almost all day. When they dried off they went to the car, "I had a good time." Amy said laughing at Jesse, she still thought it was hilarious pushed Jesse underwater, "Leave me alone!" Jesse yelled as she playfully punched Amy.

Matt and Amy dropped Jeff and Jesse off at their house and left.

"Great day, huh?" Jeff asked putting his arm around Jesse.

"Yeah. It was." She said. Then out of no where she tackled Jeff to the ground.

"What was that for?" Jeff asked curiously.

"Do the words, 'Payback's a bitch' come to mind?" She asked laughing. Jeff got up and grabbed jesse by the waist and pulled her down to the ground with him. Jesse tried to get away but Jeff kept a tight grip, "Let me go!" Jesse screamed, "Awww no," Jeff said, "You started it all. I'll let you go when I feel like it." Jesse was kicking and wailing her arms around like a wild animal. Then she elbowed Jeff in the jaw. He immediately released his grip to aid his jaw, "Oh my god, Jeff i'm sorry. I didn't mean to." She said helping him up, "Come on lets go inside to get you some ice." Jeff still kept a hold of his jaw. She lead Jeff inside to get him some ice, Jeff finally spoke, "What did you do that for?" "I didn't mean to, I really didn't" She said handing him the ice, "Obviously nothing is broken if you can still talk." Jeff laughed leaving the kitchen to go sit in the living room, "I wanna watch T.V." He said as he sat down, Jesse came over and laid down in his lap. A few hours later Jesse feel asleep, Jeff carried her up to her room and laid her in bed, he laid down next to her and feel asleep as well.

Chapter 7~

The next morning Jeff woke up and saw that Jesse was still sound asleep, "Was she really that tired?" Jeff thought aloud. Then he remembered what day it was. It was the day he dreaded. He had to pack to leave tomorrow. He loved staying home, and now more than ever because he had Jesse in his life. So he got out of bed and started packing, "OH MY GOD!" Jesse yelled, startling Jeff, "Put this day in the papers!! Jeffrey Nero Hardy is packing ahead of time!" Jeff thought she was still asleep, but it turns out she was just laying there with her eyes closed. Jeff jumped into the bed and started to tickle her, "Why would you do that?!" Jeff said laughing, "I never did anything to you!" Then it went from tickling, to wrestling, Jesse was finally able to grab Jeff's hands and keep them from tickling her, "Ahhh! I stopped you!" Jesse screamed holding Jeff's hands away from her. Then Jeff leaned in and kissed Jesse, "No you didn't." He looked at her and smiled, then went right back to packing. Jesse sat there watching him until he was finished.
"Do you wanna go anywhere for breakfast?" Jeff looked at his watch, "Or lunch." Jesse was following him downstairs, "Naa, I don't feel like breakfast today, in case you couldn't tell already, I'm not a breakfast person." Jeff shrugged, the phone rang, Jeff answered.

"Hello?" Jeff asked.

"Hey lil bro!" It was Matt.

"Oh hey! Whats up?"

"I was just calling to let you know to be ready tomorrow"

"Yah, I know, as a matter of fact, I'm already."

"Oh my-" Matt started to say but Jeff cut him off, "Aww no you don't! Don't start man. Jesse already annouced it to the whole world." Jeff said as Jesse laughed in the backround.

"Alright, I could tell, heh heh, later man."

"Later."

"Who was that, Matt?" Jesse asked. Jeff nodded, "So what do you wanna do today? NO! WAIT! Don't answer that!" Jeff yelled, "I have an ingenious idea!" Jess looked at him funny, "Okay Einsten, What is it?" Jesse was curious, "Let it just be you and me today, a day to ourselves." Jesse loved the idea, "Sure Skittles! Where you want to go? After all it was your ingenious idea." Jeff didn't think about that one, "Uhhh..." "I'm waiting." Jesse said impatiently. She really couldn't wait to go anywhere Jeff wanted to, even if it was boring, Jeff would make it fun, "Oh Oh Oh! I know! The county fair is back. Wanna go now or later?" Jesse wanted to go later, "Ehh, lets go later, I'm starting to get hungry, let's go out and have a nice lunch." Jeff agreed and went upstairs to change, Jesse followed. A few minutes later Jeff came down first and waited, and waited, and waited, "Jesse!" Jeff yelled, "C'mon! And you say I'm ba-" Jesse was downstairs already while Jeff was talking, Jeff wasn't sure if it was Jesse or not, "Jesse is that you?" Jeff asked. "No, It's some alien that took over Jesse's body!" Jesse said laughing, "Oh okay," Jeff said, then he finally figured out what she said, "Wait? What?" He was confused. Jesse laughed, "I swear, those skittles are going to your head!" "Hey! Gimme a break!" Jeff stated, "I've never seen you with makeup on! Let alone, an outfit like that!" Jesse laughed, "Thanks." She was wearing blue plaid hiphugger shorts that went down below her knees, with a studded belt, she also had a black fairy shirt on that went just above her belly button, she was wearing lowtop converses with the whole outfit, she also outlined her eyes in black eyeliner, which brought out her eyes to Jeff, " You don't look so bad yourself sexy." Jesse smiled. Jeff wrapped his arm around her and they both walked outside together.

Chapter 8~
Jeff ended up driving to lunch, Jesse didn't feel like driving. "So where do you wanna go Ms. 'I don't want breakfast, but lets go to lunch instead.'?" Jesse laughed, "Lets go to Pats." Jeff grunted, "No! I was just kidding sweetie." Jesse joked. Jeff was relieved, "Lets go to.." Jesse began to think hard, "Lets go to Cracker Barrel." Jeff agreed, after all it was his favorite restaurant, "All right." He said and kept driving, "Aren't you afraid that people are going to swarm around us?" Jesse asked. Jeff just shook his head, "No..in Cameron..Everyone knows me." Jesse was okay with that.

They pulled into the parking lot of the Cracker Barrel, and they both got out and walked inside together and took a seat. They both ordered the chicken fried steak, and ate a nice lunch together. Afterwards, Jeff brought her a early prize for the fair, a stuffed tiger, it was a white one, with emerald eyes. Jesse was happy with it because she loved tigers. They paid, and left.

It took them almost another 15 minutes to get the fair. So they didn't have to drive much longer. Jesse was amazed at the extraordinary size of the fair. Not even the South Florida Fair was this big, "Wow!" Jesse said. Jeff was confused by her reaction, "What? What's wrong?" She looked at him and said, "This place is huge!" Jeff smiled, and lead her in.

"So what ride do you wanna go on first?" Jeff asked

"Um. How bout the Gravitron?" Jesse said excitedly. Jeff was okay with it, he'd never been on it before, but was up for any challenge. They gave the man their tickets and went in. Jeff took a spot right next to Jesse and held her hand. Jesse was laughing already, "What's so funny?" Jeff asked. She managed to say through all her laughing, "You've never been on this before have you?" Jeff shook his head, "Well," Jesse said, "Maybe you should wipe you're hands off. Jeff eyes suddenly got wide and was embarassed, his palms were sweaty, "No no no, It's alright." Jesse said, "I was the same way with my ex when I was on here for the first time." That made Jeff feel better. Then the ride started. The Gravitron spun around at tremdous speeds as Jesse and Jeff were pinned to the sides, they could not move at all. Finally, it stopped.

"Wow! That was exhilerating!" Jeff managed to say.

"Yes, it was." Jesse said, "Let's go on the ferris wheel." Jesse said walking away. Jeff had to run to catch up to her. *She's so happy here* Jeff thought.

They went on the ferris wheel and it started to get dark, they didn't realized what time it was. So they decided to go on a few more rides, and leave. After they went on the last rides, they realized they each had an equal amount of tickets so that they could go on one more ride on the ferris wheel. So they went, "I had fun tonight Jeff." Jesse said looking out over the horizon. To Jeff she looked sad, "Hey, are you alright?" Jesse looked back at him, her eyes were glowing again, "Jeff, I'm fine. Really, I am, I'm just thinking." "Thinking about what?" Jeff asked, as they stopped at the top and were looking out over Cameron. "I'm thinking about our future." Jeff moved closer to her, Jesse smiled and put her head on his shoulder, Jeff picked up her head and kissed her. He deepened the kiss, and Jesse let him lead along, then all of the sudden the ride stopped and startled the both of them, they got out and walked out together, and left.

Jeff was driving home, and Jesse was asleep. Jeff loved the way Jesse looked so peaceful sleeping. He smiled and turned his eyes back to the road. Headlights were in front of them, coming on fast...

Chapter 9~
The headlights were the lights of a drunk driver, lights that seemed like eyes of anger, ready to take on anything. The driver was driving on the wrong side of the road. Jeff tried to swerve out of the way, but the driver seemed to be following him. Jesse all of the sudden woke up wondering what was going on. Then black.

"Jeff? Jeff? Are you okay?" Jesse mumbled coming back to reality. She looked over at Jeff, he was bleeding severely from his head and seemed to have trouble breathing, Jesse fumbled for his cell phone worried that if Jeff was going to make it or not. She managed to keep her hands still enough to call 911, "911 emergency, What is the problem?" The operator said calmly.

"We've just been hit, hit by a drunk driver, and I don't think my boyfriend is going to make it!" Jesse screamed. She got out of the car and walked to the crushed Mercedes to check out the other driver. He was knocked out, no major injuries.

"Alright ma'am. Where are you located at?"

"We are on Ocean Mist Boulevard, A black Corvette, and a sliver Mercedes."

"Alright Miss, They'll be there right away.

"Thank you." Jesse said as she hung up. Immedeitaly she ran over to Jeff, he was still breathing, but just barely, "It's alright sweety. You're going to make it, I promise." She said wiping some blood away from his eyes. Jeff started to cry, "I'm in pain Jesse, I'm in pain." He said as the sirens got closer. Jesse stroked his head to try and calm him down, the medics came over and pulled Jesse away as they put Jeff on a stretcher and wheeled him away, before they closed the doors Jesse yelled, "Let me be with my boyfriend!" They looked at each other and let her in. Jesse held Jeff's hand tightly as the drove to the hospital, "Miss, tell me, what happened?" One of the paramedics asked, "Well," Jesse said starting to cry, "We went to the fair today, and we were on our way home, I feel asleep, and when I woke up, I was knocked out because of the collison. Is he going to be alright? Please tell me hes going to be alright." She said still holding onto his hand, "Ma'am I don't know, we can't tell what wrong with him until we get to the hospital." Jesse looked down, and Jeff looked scared, he still had trouble breathing, and the paramedics were able to stop the bleeding. She held onto his hand until they got to the hospital.

"What happened?" The doctor asked.

"Drunk driver." The paramedic said as he helped wheel Jeff into the ER.

"Let's get him in, sounds like a punctered lung, or possibly collapsed, and broken ribs." The doctor said hurridley. Meanwhile, Jesse was taken off to the side to get checked over herself. "Are you alright?" The nurse asked. Jesse could only cry, the nurse sat down next to her and let her cry on her shoulder, "Shh. It's alright. Tell me..Are you alright?" Jesse became calm, "Yes, I am fine. Nothing hurts at all, I'm just worried about my boyfriend." The nurse nodded, "I"m sure he'll be fine." Jesse looked down, "Can I go see him now?" "No, you can't yet." The nurse said, "He's still in ER." Jesse forced herself out of the room, to find whoever did this to them both. The nurse followed, "Ma'am..You can't.." Jesse turned around with hate in her eyes, "Don't you ma'am me! I'm not looking for my boyfriend!" She said searching though the rooms.

Jesse searched and searched through each and everyroom but found nothing, she was led back out to the waiting room by the nurse, Jesse was furious. As she passed though the doors that lead out to the waiting room, he was there, "You!" She yelled, as the man looked up at her, eyes bloodshot and alcohol on his breath, "You're the one who did this to him!" Jesse yelled being held back by a nurse. Jesse was a strong girl, she easily released herself from the nurse's grip and stormed over to the man, "You asshole! You stupid fucker!" She yelled, the man only stared at her. She was about to punch him but as soon as she reached her hand back to hit him, a doctor stopped her, and a nurse stood in between the drunk and Jesse. Jesse swung around, and was about to hit the doctor, "What the fuck do you want!?" The doctor only looked at her and said calmly, "You may go see you're boyfriend now." Jesse looked at him, and took off through the doors to his room. She ran through everyone, knocking over papers, nurses, doctors, and patients, until she finally reached Jeff's room.

Jesse stood in the doorway for a few moments, looking at all the machines hooked up to Jeff. A hand touched her shoulder, it was the drunk man. The fury returned to Jesse's eyes, "Look lady, I'm really sorry about you're man. If he doesn't make it, can I have you're number?" Jesse screamed, and hit him, knocking him to the ground, "Mother fucker, He's goina make it, you're the one that should be in there." She said as she walked into Jeff's room and calmly closed the door.

She walked silently over to Jeff's bed and pulled up a chair, "Jeff? If you can hear me please show me in someway that you can." No response. Jesse let out a long sigh, and laid her hand on the bed, holding Jeff's hand. She sat there thinking, until she finally said something, "Jeff, remember the time, when my car broke down in front of you're house? I was so upset, and when you asked for me to stay with you, I was staying with a complete stranger, a complete stranger that I fell in love with." She started to cry, "And do you remember when, " Jesse said, she continued talking to Jeff, as Matt entered the room quietly. Jesse didn't know he was there so he just stood there, listening, "I also remember when you wanted to dye my hair, and I didn't let you at first, and I finally gave in." Jesse laughed through all the tears, "And you dyed my tips all different colors of the rainbow." She looked at her hair, the colors were fading now. She sighed again, and got up to leave, and was surprised to see Matt standing there.

"Uh. Hi, Matt."

"Hey, I'm sorry about this."

"No, It's not your fault." She said walking over to him. She started to cry more, Matt only wrapped his arms around her and let her cry, "Matt..." Matt only stroked her hair, and calmed her, "The man out there warned me about coming in here." He laughed, "What did you do to him?" He asked, leading her outside, "I hit him." Jesse said abruptly, "You what!" Matt asked in astonishment, "You hit him? I would of never expected that from you." Jesse smiled a little, and kept walking, releasing herself from Matt's arms, she walked ahead of him, back to the waiting room, she asked to see the doctor, the nurse cowarded as she said, "He..He'll be out in a minute." Jesse said thanks, and sat down in a chair, Matt took a seat next to her, "Great job, you just made a reputation for yourself here, first time in Cameron and people are already afraid of you." Jesse shrugged and looked up as the doctor approached her. She stood up, the doctor motioned her to sit down. She sat, "Doc, will he be okay?" The doctor sat down across from her, "Jesse, we don't know yet. He suffered from a punctured lung, broken ribs, and a lacterations to his head. He seems to be breathing alot better than he did when he first came in, but his stable condition is possible to drop dramatically." Jesse looked at Matt, "I'm sor-sorry, I c-can't sit here and listen to this asshole." She got up and walked out, people moving out of her way, preventing themselves from getting hit. Matt looked at the doctor and apologized, "It's okay Mr.Hardy, I've seen worse." Matt shook his hand and went outside to find Jesse. She was sitting on a bench facing a lake, farthest away from the hosiptal, Matt came over and sat next to her, "I don't get it Matt, It always happens to the good people, and the bad survive." Matt sighed, "I know, I know. Yah know Jesse, Jeff really cared for you." Jesse was curious to hear more, "He always talked about you, he would never let any harm get to you." Jesse put her hands in her face and cried, Matt stopped, "No, it's okay Matt keep talking, "Jeff was always talking about how he's going to spend the rest of his life with you, and how you're the perfect girl for him. He drove me nuts cause he would never shut-up." Jesse laughed, "Maybe I should go in there and aplogize to the doctor." She got up and Matt just sat there. Later, he got up and left.

Chapter 10~
Jesse walked in and apologized to everyone. It made her feel better now that she had no one afraid of her, then a voice came over the intercom, "Dr. Spencer please report to room 345, room 345. Thank you." Jesse became cold, a cold like no other. Penetrating. Relentless. That room, That room was Jeff's room. A nurse approached her, "Miss?" She asked, waving her hands in front of her face, Jesse seemed to be in a trance, then she snapped out of it, pushed the nurse away and ran to Jeff's room. When she got there she stood outside the doorway, doctors and nurse scrambled all over. Jesse started to cry, "Jeff! Jeff! Please don't leave me." A doctor realized she was standing there, "Get that girl out of here now!" A nurse escorted her to the waiting room. Jesse sat down and started to cry, the drunk was still in the room, he had no ride home, and was wondering if she was alright, Jesse never said sorry to him, she only flipped him the bird. He stepped back trying to avoid getting hit again, "Jessica Paige?" Jesse looked up to see a doctor standing in front of her looking at a clipboard, "Jeff is going to be okay." "May I go see him?" Jesse asked. The doctor nodded.

Jesse walked to Jeff's room. She stood there staring. Jeff was sleeping. All the monitors made a beeping noise. She just continued to stand there, and the monitors went off. A long beeping, a blank sound. Jesse looked up and Jeff's vital signs were blank, "Help! Help! Help me please!" Jesse screamed, "His heart has stopped!" Doctors and nurses ran into the room. Jesse stood in the shadows. Doctors were doing all they could to bring Jeff back. Nothing. Finally the doctor brought out the paddles, "Clear!" He yelled. Jeff's body bounced as if it were a rag doll. Jesse's world was slient and cold as everything moved in slow motion, "Clear!" The doctor yelled again, to Jesse it was a faint noise. Jeff's vital signs were still nothing, "Alright, I'm calling it." The doctor said walking out of the room, "He's gone." As soon as Jesse was alone with Jeff she stepped out of the shadows, and stood over Jeff's bed. Looking at him. She grabbed a knife off the table, and held it to her throat, "Jeff.." Jesse said pressing the knife to her flesh more and more. The beeping on Jeff's monitors started again. Stablizing, "Jesse?" Jeff whispered, his eyes fluttering open, "Jeff!" Jesse said putting down the knife.

"Jesse, I was so scared, I heard everything you said to me. But I couldn't move. I was so numb."

"Shh. It's alright." Jesse said wiping a tear away from his face. Jeff reached up and felt her face. Just then a nurse walked by, "Doctor! Doctor come quick! He's back!" A doctor came running over and checked Jeff over, "Wow! It's a miracle." Jeff looked over at Jesse who was smiling, Her smile glowed more than her eyes today.

"Jeff, I'll be right back sweety, I'm going to go call Matt." Jesse said turning to leave.

Jesse walked down the hallway, she found a phone a dialed Matt's number.

"Hello?"

"Matt, It's Jesse."

"Hey, What's wrong?"

"Nothing, Jeff is going to be alright. We lost him for a moment there, the he came back."

"Phew! I wasn't going to lose my brother! Alright, I'll be over there in a little while. I'll bring Amy too."

"Okay, see you soon." Jesse said hanging up. She walked back to Jeff's room. Jeff had his eyes closed, Jesse figured he was asleep. So she walked in quietly and sat down, "I know you're there." Jeff said, his eyes still closed. "I know that smeel of lilac anywhere." Jesse laughed as she moved closer to Jeff. Jeff opened his eyes. He smiled at Jesse, "You've been crying haven't you." He picked up something the reflected Jesse's face and she saw that there was black all over her face. It was her eyeliner. She quickly wiped it all away. "Jeff, the drunk is still here. I hit him."

"Why?"

"He asked me for my number."

"Did you give it to him?"

"No way! After what he did to you? NOPE!" Jeff smiled. He loved his girl. He leaned his head back on the pillow and started to sing The Atari's- A Hero Dies in this one:

As I leave here today, apartment 108
I'll always keep you in my heart.
Anderson is cold tonight,
The leaves are scattered on the ground.
I miss the seasons,
And the comfort of your smile.

Sometimes this all feels like a dream.
I'm waiting for someone to just wake me up,
From this life.

As I look out at these fairgrounds,
I remember how our family split apart.
I don't think I ever told you,
But I know you always did your best.
And the hard times,
They only made us stronger.

As I sit here all alone,
I wonder how I'm suppose to carry on when you're gone.
I'll never be the same without you,
I love you more then you will ever know.
So maybe now you finally know.
Sometimes we're helpless and alone,
But you can let it keep you weighted down.
You must go on.

Do you ever feel like crying?
Do you ever feel like giving up?
I raise my hands up towards the sky,
I say this prayer for you tonight,
Because nothing is impossible.

As I sit here all alone,
I wonder how I'm suppose to carry on when you're gone.
I'll never be the same without you,
I love you more then you will ever know.
So maybe now you finally know.
Sometimes we're helpless and alone,
But you can let it keep you weighted down.
You must go on.

Stay who you are.
You must go on.
Stay who you are.

As he was singing, Jesse joined in. Matt and Amy walked and stood in the doorway,
listening to the singing. Jeff looked better than ever. Amy looked at Matt. Matt got the drift, and they walked out.
Jesse grabbed Jeff's hand and put it to her cheek. Jeff looked at her, "Jesse, It was strange. I saw this white light and then a voice, 'It's not you're time yet. Someone cares for you' And I just stood there, 'You must go back' And next thing I know, I wake up and you're standing over my bed." Jesse only calmed him. She really had nothing to say. She was just happy he was going to be fine, "Excuse me, I need to do my check's on you're boyfriend." Jesse walked out of the room, and a few mintures later the nurse walked out of the room, "You're lucky to have such a strong boyfriend."
Jesse thanked her and walked back inside.

Chapter 11~
Jeff's recovery was going well, but to be on the safe side, the doctors made him stay in the hospital for another couple days. He gave Jesse Vince's phone number and told her to get a hold of him on a phone and let him talk to Vince. Jesse dialed the number. It was ringing, "Here," Jesse said, "it's ringing." Jeff took the phone from her hand and held it up to his ear.

"Hello? Hello?" Vince said impatiently.

"Hi Vince, It's Jeff Hardy."

"Oh Hi, Jeff. Jeff? Where the hell are you? You were supposed to be here 6 hours ago!" Vince said.

"Yeah, That's what I am calling for. I'm still in Cameron. I was in a car accident." Jeff explained.

"Oh my God, Are you okay?" Vince said, acting like he was interested.

"Yeah, Besides the fact that I almost died. I'm fine." Jesse was falling of the chair with laughter.

"I guess you need time off." Vince said disappointingly.

"Yes, I will Mr.McMahon. And that's another reason why I called. I won't be coming back. I'm quitting." Jesse immediately stopped her laughter.

"You're what?" Vince said.

"I'm quitting, I found someone I want to spend the rest of my life with," Jeff said looking at Jesse, "And, I don't have the desire to go anymore. I like staying home."

Vince was very upset at this point, "I guess I have no choice in this matter."

"Thanks for understanding." Jeff said.

"Good-bye Jeff." Vince said.

"Good-bye" Jeff said as he handed the phone back to Jesse. Jesse eyes were wide. She wanted to know what was going on, "What the heck? You quit?" Jeff nodded, "I wanna stay home with you." He said, Jesse smiled, "Well, in that case, I'm going have to go find a job then right?" Jeff adjusted himself in bed, "You could if you wanted to, but that probably won't be necessary." Jesse shrugged it off, "You look like you need some sleep." Jeff said. Jesse then realized she hasn't slept since she woke up yesterday morning, "Yeah, maybe you're right." She said, "But I don't have a ride home." Jeff had an idea, he still had his wallet, "That should be enough for a taxi." Jesse smiled kissed Jeff goodbye, and went to call for a taxi. She waited outside until it came, "221 Firefly Drive please." Jesse said getting into the car. She was soo drained after what happened last night, but she was happy Jeff was going to be alright.

"Here you are Ma'am. That'll be 14.25." Jesse gave the man a twenty, "Keep the change." And she walked inside. The first thing Jesse did when she got inside was change out of her bloody clothes, and took a nice warm shower to help relax herself, she was still a little tense. Afterwards, she changed into her pajamas and a wifebeater, and laid down in bed. Later, She fell asleep.

"Jesse." Jesse didn't know where she was. Everything seemed to be gray. Then he scenery settled in. She seemed to be back in Florida. Back at her old house, "Hello? Who's there?" Jesse said. She was looking around franticly. Besides where she was standing, things seemed to be dark, shadowy, "Jesse." The voice appeared again. Jesse became fightened and searched for a door. But there was nothing. Nothing but walls. Everything, all of the sudden, disappeared, "Jesse." The voice was closer. Jesse ran to the otherside of the room, and searched for an opening, then a hand grabbed her. She screamed. The person stepped out of the shadows, "Brian..." Jesse said, she became terrified. Everything seemed to be fading away accept for the light in which they were standing in, "Jesse. I love you. Come back to me." Jesse looked into his eyes, "I c-c-can't, Brian, I love Jeff." Brians eyes turned from love to rage, "If I can't be with you..." He said reaching his hand back to hit her, "No one can." He said flying his hand forward, towards Jesse's face. Jesse sat up screaming, feeling all over her face making sure she was okay. She was drenched in cold sweat, "I've gotta call Jeff." Jesse said reaching for the phone.

Chapter 12~
Jesse picked up the phone and dialed the hospital number, "Cameron Memorial Hospital, How may I help you?" The operator said. It took Jesse a while to say, "Room 345, please." To become connected with Jeff. It rung a few times before Jeff picked up, "Yellow." Jesse laughed, "Why do you say that? Is that your favorite color all of the sudden?" Jeff didn't need to ask who it was, "Fine, Hello."

"That's better." Jesse said.

"Whats up, you sound a little scared of something." Jeff asked.

"Well.." Jesse said hesitating to say.

"Well What? What is going on with you?" Jeff asked becoming impatient.

"I had a dream about Brian, yah know, my ex? And I got so scared. I need to go down to Florida and get my stuff and get out of there before he sees or hears me." Jesse said, on her side of the phone, she was shaking.

"Okay, call the airport to see when the next flight is. Don't forget to get 2 tickets." Jeff said.

"What do you mean 2 tickets?" Jesse asked

"Oh my bad, I forgot to tell you. I need you to come and pick me up in 3 hours. I talked to the doctor earlier, and he said when he comes back he's going release me early." Jeff said excitedly.

"Alright!" Jesse yelled, "I'll talk to you later then."

"Later..." Jeff said as he hung up.

Jeff leaned back in his hospital bed, and thought what could happen if he went down to Florida with Jesse. Would he find out she's there and when he's not around do something to her? Jeff figured he would need to keep a close eye on her.

Back at Jeff's house, Jesse was on the phone again. She called the airport to see when the next flight to Florida was, "10:17, Wednesday morning?" Jesse asked. "Yes ma'am." The flight operator said. Jesse hung up, grabbed her keys and left for the hospital. The flight was in 2 days.

"Hey Jeffro!" Jesse said walking into Jeff's room. Jeff just smiled, "We leave Wednesday morning at 10:17." Jesse said. Jeff nodded and continued to wait, Jesse could tell he was trying to stay calm instead of going crazy. Jesse could understand why. So she took a seat. A few hours later, the doctor arrived, and released Jeff. "Alrighty then, Lets get out of here. This place gives me the creeps." Jeff said wrapping his arm around Jesse.

It was a short ride home. Jesse and Jeff walked in and immediately started to pack. Jeff talked Jesse into doing it, cause he wanted to find some way to take Brian off of Jesse's mind. "Do you wanna watch a movie?" Jeff asked. Jesse just shrugged, " I don't care, you pick." She said plopping herself down on the couch. Jeff was beginning to worry about her, so he chose a comedy movie. He put it in and sat down next to her. Jeff always made Jesse feel safe, so she snuggled up next to him.

Jesse barely even laughed during the movie. "Jesse, baby? What's been bothering you?" Jesse just looked at Jeff, "I'm scared Jeff. Brian is like 3 times bigger than you are. I don't even wanna see him when I'm down there, and I don't want anything to happen to you." Jeff looked back into her eyes, "Jesse, nothing will happen to me. Promise me, these last two days here, you won't worry about anything?" Jesse looked down, and Jeff pulled her head back up, "Promise me?" Jesse nodded. Jeff leaned in a softly kissed Jesse. He pulled away, and looked at her and smiled. Jesse smiled back, then she snapped out of it, "So then, what are we going to do?" Jeff just smiled and started to tickle her, she tickled back. She never knew Jeff was so ticklish. He finally was able to stop Jesse fomr tickling him back sitting on her, "Okay I give up!" Jesse screamed and Jeff got up off of her and helped her up, "Well then. What should we do about that hair?" Jesse remembered, her hair faded, and she followed Jeff to the bathroom. There Jeff redid Jesse's hair, and went to the bedroom. Jesse sat down to take her socks off, and she looked up. Jeff was starting at her, "Yes?" Jesse asked. Jeff walked toward her and started to kiss her. Jesse laid back and moved Jeff on top of her. They started to take each other's clothes off and explore each others bodies, and begain to make love. Later they fell asleep holding each other.

Chapter 13~
"Jesse..Jesse." Someone called, "Jesse..Jesse." Jesse seemed to be in that white room again. She begain to panic again. She continued to run, to nowhere. The white room seem to stretch the farther she ran. She turned around shadows were forming, she stopped to get a good glimpse of what was going on, she was pretty far ahead of what it was. Brian stepped out of the shadows. Jesse begain to run, as she was running, she looked back, and Brian was right behind her. She tried with all her might to run faster..Brian dove for her and knocked her over. She landed face up with Brian on top of her pinning her arms down, his leg straddled over hers. She tried to scream, nothing came out the noise was lost in the air. Brian tried made eye contact with her, she tried to look away, but something made her look. Fury burned in Brian's eyes. Jesse tried to scream again, "There's no where to go this time Jesse. Scream all you want..You're mine. You always will be..and no one else." Brian said smiling. Jesse squrimed and screamed as much as she could, "Jesse, be with me. Jesse. Jesse. Jesse. Jesse?" Brian's voice begain to fade, "Jesse? What's the matter?" Jeff asked.

Jesse's eye fluttered open, and Jeff was on top of her, "Damn girl. I've never seem someone toss and turn as much as you do...not to mention scream." Jesse was breathing heavily, "What time is it?" She asked, she was still pinned under Jeff, he looked over at the clock, "It's 6:30, Shit. It's to early." Jeff said falling back onto the bed next to Jesse, "What happened?" Jeff asked. Jesse was still trying to calm down, "Well, I had another dream about Brian." Jeff understood and just hugged her and rocked her in his arms. He held her in his arms and later they fell asleep again.

Jeff and Jesse did not wake up until about mid-afternoon. They sat around and talked most of the day. Jeff figured maybe it would be good to help relax Jesse. At one point, Jeff gave her a back massage, Jesse felt like she was goina fall asleep. When Jeff was finished Jesse crawled up onto the couch and laid her head in Jeff's lap, he sat there and played with her hair. He thought the green, blue, and redd looked good in her hair. He smiled, and carefully moved down to lay down next to Jesse. He put his arm around her waist, and sang "What it is to burn" by Finch:

Today is on fire
The sky is bleeding above me, and i am blistered
I walk these lines of blasphemy, everyday
And still...

Like a bad star, I'm falling faster down to her
She's the only one who knows, what it is to burn

I feel diseased
Is there no sympathy from the sun
The sky still far
But I am safe in here, from the world outside

So tell me
What's the price to pay for glory

Like a bad star, I'm falling faster down to her
She's the only one who knows, what it is to burn

Today is fire, and she burns
Today is fire, and she burns
She burns
She burns

Like a bad star, I'm falling faster down to her
She's the only one who knows, what it is to burn

Without knowing it, Jeff had sung Jesse to sleep. He smiled and whispered in her ear, "I love you. Don't worry about anything." And he laid his head back and fell asleep.

The next morning, Jeff woke up with just enough time to drive to the airport. He woke up Jesse in a hurry, and the ran out the door..bags in hand. They sped off in Jeff's car.

They made it inside just in time to run for the entrance to the plane, "Now boarding, West Palm Beach, Florida." A voice said over the P.A. system. Jeff and Jesse made it just in time, they walked in casually like nothing happened and took their seats. Jesse got the window seat, she pulled out her CD player, and leaned her head on the window. She sat there thinking what is next to come.

Chapter 14~

Jeff awoke to the sound of screeching plane tires hitting the ground. He looked over at Jesse and she was blasting her music...still looking out the window. She always blasted her music because it seemed to bring her to another world, another world were no one can touch you. Jesse told him that before, she's never told anyone that. She looked over at him, and smiled as she took her headphones off and put them back in her bag. They got up, and all of the sudden...Jesse was happy. "Why are you so happy all of the sudden?" Jeff asked, "I'm back home." Jesse replied. He wraped his arm around her as they went to get a car.

"I don't want anything to big." Jesse said, "After all, we are only going to be here for a few days." Jeff agreed, and they rented a 2001 Kia Spectra. The man showed the to their car, packed up their stuff in the trunk and drove off. "I don't live to far away, just a couple of miles." Jesse said watching the cars go by on Interstate-95. Then all of the sudden Jesse was jumping up and down, "Look! Look! That's where I used to play softball!" Jeff smiled and tried to calm her down sarcatically. The drove for a few more minutes, and Jesse told him what exit to get off of, she gave him the rest of the directions and they ened up at Jesse's parents house, which used to be her home.

Jeff was amazed at how small her parent's house was. After seeing all the nice stuff Jesse had...he couldn't belive it. Jesse motined for him to come inside.

He walked inside and was amazed at the South African designs all over the room. "You like them?" Someone asked, "Jesse bugged me until we finally got them." Jeff's mom said. He turned around he thought she was Jesse, she looked so much like her, "They are wonderful, reminds me of home..." Jeff laughed. Jesse introduced him to her mom and they took a seat in the living room, and talked for the next hour. Then the doorbell rang..a pale look shot across Jesse's face as she looked at Jeff. It rang again. Jeff just looked back at Jesse, got up and walked to the door. He stood there for a few mintues, and decided to open it. When he had the door halfway open, a person started to speak, "Hello Mrs. Paige. I was just wonderin- why..." Jeff already knew who it was, "Hello." Jeff said. A look of rage crossed Brian's face, "Who..Who are you?" He asked, nostrils flared out. Jeff just smiled, "Hi, I'm Jeff." Brian just glared at him, "Well, may I ask what you want?" Jeff asked. Brian finally snapped out of it, "You wouldn't happen to know if Jesse was here would you?" Jeff thought for a few mintues and the replied, "Uhhhh....No." And shut the door. He laughed to himself and causally walked back into the living room, and sat down like nothing had happend. They continued to talk, and the door flew open, and a outraged Brian stormed into the room, Jesse ran over to Jeff. Brian looked around the room and his eyes were centered on Jeff and Jesse, "You lyin' son of a bitch." Brian screamed. Jesse's mom, Beth, just sat there, stunned, unaware of what was going on. Brian ran over to the couple picked Jeff up by the arm and tossed him out of the way, right into a wall, leaving Jesse as wounded prey for Brian, "Jesse? Why did you leave me? I loved you." Jesse stood up, she was only a few inches shorter than Brian and was just barely eye level with him, "You didn't love me. If you loved me, you would of never have beaten me." Brian just pushed her down, causing her to fall through a glass table, she became unconscious. Brian stared at her and took to steps forward, towards Jesse. By this time Beth had run out of the room..and Jeff had finally recollected himself, "Hey buddy." Jeff called and Brian looked over at him for a spilt second and then was punched in the face, knocking him over. As soon as Jeff knew he was out of the way for a few moments, he ran over to aid Jesse. She was bleeding pretty badly from the back, "Jesse. Jesse? Are you okay?" He asked gently lifting her head. Her eyes opened, she looked around and screamed, "Jeff look out!" He looked over to find Brian coming towards him with a pocket knife. Jeff dove out of the way, and gave Brian a drop toe hold, causing him to fall, then trip over Jesse. She screamed in pain.

Sirens. Sirens were outside. The door burst open and in flew 3 cops with Jesse's mom, "There he is. He's trying to hurt my girl." She said pointing to a fallen down Brian on the floor. The cops immediatley picked up Brian and carried him away. Meanwhile, EMT's came in and carried Jesse away. Jeff stumbled around for a few moments and went to the hospital with her mom.
