Chapter 1 ***dream***
A thick fog smothered the dark night in its cloudy veil. The moon was out,but its light wasn't able to penetrate through the darkness and the fog. The sky was starless and everything was almost completely silent. Hardly any cars drove along the worn out road, as nobody would btave the desert highway in such conditions.
Suddenly two eyes of dim yellow light melted into the fog and the soft sound of a thrumming motor could be heard. The car was a beat up brown Chevy,one definately not made for highway driving, especially in a vast desert lined with dusty mountains.
Driving the car was a black haired man in his early thirties. He was squintinh in order to see through the fog and darkness, but hardly to any avail. Seated beside him was a brown hair women with blue eyes. Both looked extremely exhausted and appeared to be fighting off sleep.
"We should pull over,"the women suggested.
"we can make it,"the man protested."I'm sure of it."
The women nodded, made her last offer to drive and after being refused, curled up in her seat and went to sleep.
The man continued driving, trying to forget his drowsiness. Nothing much happened for several long minutes before the headlights of an oncoming car could be seen. The man at first didn't pay attention to it. But as the two cars drew closer, the dark haired man saw that the oppossing was driving in the same lane as him.
"What the-?"he muttered under his breath/
He tried to tell himself that it washis eyes playing tricks on him. The car ahead of them hurriedlycrept closer and closer until it was pratically right before the dark haired man's brown Chevy. By the time the man realized the truth of the situation, it was to late. The two cars cllided, ripping and tearing into each other. Both cars screeched and slid off the highway, rubber burning and metal ripping. The brown Chevy was actually forced over onto its side by the other car. The two cars appeared to be almost welded together from the impact of the crash, and they remained side by side on the side of the road, smoke whirling up into the sky in long trendrits.
A loud organized scream broke through the night and the brown Chevy suddenly burst into flames-
-Liv sprung up from her bed, a scream caught in her throat. Her shoulder length dark hair was matted against his neck from sweat and her blue eyes were frantically searching her empty room. Her heart was beating wildy in her chest and her body was shaking.
"Oh God,"she muttered breathlessly and closed her eyes.
She ran her fingers through her hair and tried to get her breathing under control. After a moment or two, she was able to regain control over herself. She sighed and took a deep breath and turned to check her clock
"Oh shit!"
She threw herself out of bed, after realizing she was almost a hour late for her work. Her dream was fading, but she knew that as soon as she was to lie down again, the memory would rush back too hard. She pushed the thought aside and quickly dressed.
Chapter 2
"Now coming down the ramp, weighing in at 450 combined. From Cameron,North Carolina ,it's The Hardy Boyz,"Lillian Garcia sang well the Hardy Boyz music blared through the arena. The audience stood in a standing ovation. Tajiri's music came on.
"And now coming down the ramp, weighing in at 300 combined, being accompained by Torrie Wilson, it's the Team of Tajiri and Spike Dudley!"
The match started off quickly, having a few back and forth punches. Tajiri kicked Jeff in the face having Tajiri go for the cover.
One..smack..Two..smack
Matt interferred in the last second having jeff do a tag in with Matt and Tajiri doing the same with Spike.Matt kicked Spike and pulled off a picture perfect Twist of Fate.Jeff then did a blind tag having finish off Spike with the Swanton Bomb.
One..smack...Two...Smack...Three...smack.
Jeff and Matt hugged and made their way up the ramp. In the back they were greeted by a smiling Tyla.
"Great job. I almost thought you guys were goners!"
"NEVER!"Jeff and Matt yelled in perfect unison.
"You know what.All the other females dye their hair.Why don't you?"Jeff asked playing with her hair.
"What you see is what you get,"Ty simply answered.
"Well we're about to change that,"Jeff said with a stupid grin on his face.By that time Jason,Rob,Chris,Paul,Mark and Glenn were all surrounding them. Jeff left for a few minutes and came back with purple,blue,red,green and orange hair dye.Mark and Glenn were leaning against the wall when Jeff ordered the other guys to get Ty. The guys walked up to her with smirks on their faces, so she knew she had to do something or she was going to get hurt.Mark, Glenn and Jeff watched as Ty got some awesome punches and some great kicks. Mark and Glennbeing the biggest guys pushed everyone out of their way.
"T..T..Thank you g..g..guys,"Ty puffed out.
With one swift motion Mark had her legs and Glenn had her arms. Well the other guys were healing their wounds, Jeff came towards Ty with a weird looking grin, one similar to the ones the guys had when they attacked her.
"Don't worry. I wont hurt you,"Jeff promised with a psycho voice
****
Liv arrived late but just in time to see all the guys surrounding around something. Jeff stood up with multicolor gloves.
"Ahhh.....my best work yet."
"What did you do Jeff?"She asked pushing him out of the way. She saw Ty's hair and burst out laughing.
"Dude, it totally reeks of awesomeness.Sorry I gotta stop hanging out with Adam."
Ty's honey brown hair was now multicolor. Shr was 5'10 with emerald eyes which widen when she saw her hair.
"What did you guys do to me?"Ty demanded as she punched Jeff in the arm.
"Owwww,"Jeff whined rubbing his arm."Just having some fun."
Ty ran off to find Adam
****
She found Adam's room and she flung the door open. Adam's eyes widen when he saw Ty's hair.
"Baby,what did Dr.Rainbow do to your hair?"
"He...then...they...then he...oh my God,"she cried out.
Adam barely understood what she said but he still comforted Ty.
"It's ok baby. I actually like it. It brings out your eyes,"Adam said to his girlfriend.
"Thanks.You always know what to say."
"Come on, we're done here today so lets go get something to eat with Liv and Chris,"Adam suggested
So they left to go find their friends.
Chapter 3
Chris, Liv, Adam and Ty were all seated at the table in the middle of the restaurant.Chris and Liv were on one side and Ty and Adam on the other. They were all talking and laughin, all except for Liv. She was staring out the window at the dark, starless sky. Their food was ordered and they were now in the stage of waiting.
"Hey Liv?" Ty asked.
"Huh?" Liv turned to look at her friend.
"What's been up with you lately, Liv?" Ty replied, forgetting her earlier question. "you've been so..so closed up."
Liv sighed and nodded. Ever since they had arrived at the restaurant her dream was the only thing on her mind. She hadn't dreamt or remember that night in only seven years, and she didn't think that she had that dream for no reason either.
She felt a hand close over hers and she turned to see Chris looking at her compassionately. His dirty blonde hair was pulled back in a pony and he wore his black glasses. He looked so handsome that she knew she'd spill everything about her dream. She turned to look at Adam and Ty and saw the same comforting expressions and knew she couldn't keep anything from them.
"You all know that I've lived with Ty since I was five,"she began, holding Chris' hand. "But I don't think either Chris or Adam know why."
"you've never said, and we've never asked,"Adam said.
Liv smiled at him and continued. "My parents went to visit a sick friend. They didn't want to take me with them. On their way home they got in a head on collision. They died that night."
everyone was silent, so Liv spoke again. "I haven't thought of it since then, and now the other night I just dreamt of it."
"It may not mean anything,"Ty said, trying to comfort her friend.
"Or it may mean everything,"Liv continued.
Just then the waitress came and passed out the plates full of food. Once the waitress was gone, Chris turned to Liv.
"are you alright?"
"Yes...I think,''she replied, smiling at him, "but, please, no more of this until later. I just want to enjoy dinner."
"Okay, babe,"he replied
They ate dinner discussing matches and different wrestlers.
"Dudes, did you guys, like, see Trish and Dwayne?" Adam said, wearing his handsome, Edge grin. "Hot and heavy, or what?"
They all laughed.
"Oh yeah,"Chris added, "so, who's left that Trish hasn't gotten hot and heavy with?"
"There's you two," Liv and Ty said together.
"That's because we so totally reek of awesomeness!"Adam exclaimed , high fiving Chris.
"Dude, drop the act,"Chris said grinning. "we're not on t.v, duh!"
Adam groaned playfully. "Fine dude."
"Speaking of Trish,"Liv said looking at Ty. "As your manager, Ty. I have gotten you a little match against her."
"Oh again?"Ty laughed. "You'd think she'd get tired of losing to me, by now."
"Yeah, baby!"Adam said kissing Ty's cheek. "Good luck."
"Awwww....ain't that sweet,"Chris mocked.
Liv sat back in her chair and pushed her empty plate away from her. "Soo...how does dessert sound?"
"Geez, girl!"Adam said. "You have a bigger appetite than Paul Wright!"
"Hey, hey! That's my girlfriend you're talking about!"Chris defended.
"Are you refusing the challenge?"Liv asked Adam, her eyes gleaming.
"Hell no!" Adam yelled.
"And how about you two?"Liv asked Chris and Ty.
"I am no going to be out eaten by my girlfriend!"Chris replied.
"Prepared to be cream!"Ty said
The four of them jumped up, and like little kids, ran over to the dessert buffet. They filled their plates with cake and pie and smothered in whip cream, and cherries. They got weird looks by everyone, but none cared. They sat down, greedy looks on their faces.
"Okay,"Adam announced. "on the count of three. One..two-"
Chris, Liv and Ty started eating and Adam yelled. But he quickly began eating too.
"Hey Adam,"Ty teased, scooping up some whipped cream.
"Wha-"
She wiped her hand across his face, laughing. "I told you to be prepared to be creamed."She then ran her finger through the whipped cream that was on his face, and stuck her fingers in her mouth. "Ymmmm..."
Chris leaned across the table, and wiped his fingers through the whipped cream on Adam's face and ate it. "You taste yummy."
"Oh, dude, you are so dead!"Adam practically yelled.
The waitress came, dropped off the cheque, and gave Adam a weird look. Chris grabbed it, and took out his wallet. He removed several crisp bills, left then with the cheque and they all left. Chris and Adam called a cab as Liv and Ty waited outside.
"They'll be here in a half an hour,"Adam announced as they joined their girlfriends outside.
"Ohhh,"Ty moaned. "So long and sooo cold!"
"Here,"Adam said removing his leather jacket. He put it around Ty's shoulder and kissed her.
"You look so awesome though with your jacket on,"Ty said.
Chris put his arm around Liv, and kissed her. "Shall we leave then alone and get our own cab?"
Adam grinned, "You better."
"C'me on," Chris said and him and Liv went to call another cab.
***Inside Adam's and Ty's cab***
The cab driver stole a peak at Adam and Ty in the rear-a-view mirror. The two of them were kissing, acting as if they were completely alone. The driver cleared his throat uncomfortably.
"Oh,"Adam said, pulling away from Ty and looking at the driver, "and take the long way back!"
***Liv's apartment***
"Liv."
She stopped, not completely understanding why she was afraid to turn around. He gently grabbed her shoulder and turned her towards him, taking her into his arms. She pressed her face against his chest and held her tighter.
"I'm just so scared,"she moaned, on the verge of tears."I don't know what's going to happen, but something is."
"Shhhh,"he said stroking her hair. "Don't worry, don't think."
He held her close, saying nothing. They remained together for the rest of the night, too.
Chapter 4
Adam, Andrew, Jason, Matt and Jeff all sat around the table playing a game of cards APA style. They were talking about girls, parties and music. Of course Adam pretty much kept to himself.
"Ya, I can get any girl I want,"Andrew bragged sitting back acting like the player he wasn't.
"No you can't,"Adam finally spoke up just to say that.
"Yes I can."
"I'll bet you. If you get Ty then I'll pay you $50 and if not then you owe me $50."
"Deal,"Andrew said shaking Adam's hand. Matt, Jeff and Jason knew that Adam and Ty were going out but they didn't want everyone to know. Just when they shoke hands Tyla walks by to go get ready for her match.
"Ohhhh...Tyla?"
"What Andrew?"Ty impatiently asked.
"I wanted to say good luck on your match tonight and-"
"Thanks Andrew. That's really sweet,"Tyla interrupted.
"And do you want to go out for dinner?"
"I...uh..gotta...umm...go over here,"she said pointing at Adam. Adam put his arm around Ty.
"I believe you owe me $50,"Adam said grinning.
"But you tricked me."
"Well that wasn't one of the rules. Pay now.''
Andrew pulled out his wallet and gave him a 50.
"You bet on me?"Ty asked shockly
"I knew he would lose. You're the only one he wouldn't get with. Pretty much everyother girl in this federation is easier than talker,"Adam defended himself.
"Ummmm...Thanks. Gotta go get ready to kick some ass,"Ty said kissing Adam. Adam got a few teases from the guys but ignored it. They just continued to play.
Chapter 5 ***In Cameron***
After deciding on a vacation back to the place where Matt, Jeff, Tyla and Liv grew up in they arrived in Cameron. Adam, Jason, Chris and Glenn came with them and now the gang was meeting Shannon, Shane and Amy at a local bar. The music blared as drinks were passed around the table.
"Oh,"Liv said to Ty who sat across from her, "when we get back to the Federation, I have a match scheduled for you against John."
"Hey, dude, what happened?"Adam asked, pretending to be shocked. "Did Ty...or Gemini beat all the women to many times, or are they just scared?"
"A little bit of both,"Ty replied
"Hey, hey, hey!"Amy protested, laughing.
"No offense,"Liv said.
"WHOA!"Jason shoutes after drowning a shot glass. "What's the hell is this stuff?"
"Shhhhh,"Jeff whispered, giggling, "it's a secret!"
Jason stared down at the empty shot glass, a dumbfounded look in his eyes.
"Want another?"Jeff asked, grinning.
"Hell ya, dude!"
Jeff ordered another round of drinks.
"Ohhh!"Chris yelled raising a hand, getting everybody's attention. His expression was goofy and a large grin spread across his face. "I know what's in the drink! I know what's in the drink."
"Get him,"Matt said and him and Jeff jumped at Chris.
"Play nice, boys,"Amy said.
"C'me on,"Ty said getting up and grabbing Adam's hand. "I wanna dance."
They left and left and hit the dance floor. Matt, Jeff, Chris and Jason all looked at eachother, sly grins on their faces.
"Oh no,"Liv said pointing a finger at them, "be good."
"We will!"they all said in perfect unison, and hurried away after Ty and Adam. They finally reached Ty and Adam. Jason puts his arm around Adam and grinned.
"Sooo....whatcha doing?"
"Singing,"Adam said sarcastically."What does it look like?"Adam answered pulling off Jason's arm.
"Oh please don't sing! I don't wanna go deaf,"Jay begged. Adam just flipped him off.Jeff took Chris and started dancing, mocking Adam and Ty. Matt and Jason just laughed. Then they were all whistling and saying 'awww' at Adam and Ty. Adam looked at Ty with a goofy grin.
"I know Chris and Jay better so I'll get them and you get the Hardy Brothers."
They smiled, kissed and ran after them
"Stop you guys! We're just kidding,"they protested.
"NEVER!"Adam and Ty said in unison.
They were to busy chansing Chris and the brothers to see Jay sneak out the side door. When he walked out he saw 3 adults beating on a old man. Jay tried to sop them but they beat him leaving Jason to die.
***half an hour later***
"Oh..stop..hehe...that...tickles,"Jeff protested to Ty well Adam was getting Chris and Matt. "I'll do anything."
Suddenly Ty say up and took Adam to the dance floor.
"Looks like you guys got what you deserved,"Liv stated.
The boys just gave her a dirty look.They weren't talking for long when a police man approached Jeff.
"Mr.Hardy, we have bad news. Where's Mr.Copeland?"
"What happened?"Matt questioned.
"Jason Reso is dead."
By this time Adam and Ty were there as soon as they saw the police officer.They heard everything.Liv was going insane because she though it was her fault. Chris calmed her down. Ty sat in the middle of the dance floor and cried. Adam tried to calm her down but she shoved him away. Finally Liv gotta idea. She walked up to Glenn and asked him if he could pick Ty up. He agreed and picked her up. She at first refused but as soon as she realized she couldn't win she gave up. They all went back to Jeff's and put her down on the guest bed. Adam lied down, put a arm around her waist, held her close and both went to sleep, crying.
Chapter 6
They gotta couple days off to say good-bye to jason but now was time to go back to work. 'Gemini' had a match against 'Bradshaw' and it was next. Papercut by Linkin Park came on. 'Gemini'(Ty) stepped out with great enthusiam. Using Adam's way to get into the ring. After Lillian said all of Ty's information John's music blared having him walk down slowly. They started off slowly but quickly picked up the pase. 'Bradshaw' gave her a clothes line from hell to her. He stood over top of her acting like he was talking trash but he really was asking if she was ok. She winked in response. She got up and started punching him and kicked him. She gotta chair and hit him with it. She quickly covered him.
One...smack...two...smack....three....smack
"And now your champion Gemini,"Lillian announced raising Ty's arms up on the air. Ty collapsed in pain. Couple minutes later she heard the crowd cheer and someone pick her up about 7 feet high.
"It's ok. I got you,"he whispered as soon as he felt her wiggle. She recognized that voice. It was Glenn.
"Hey, I wonder what's going on between Gem and Kane,"King said with a goofy grin.
"You slobberknocker perv. She's dating Edge!"Jim shouted with a disgusted voice.
***In the back room***
Glenn dropped Ty off in Adam's locker room. She awoke having him starring at her.
"Thanks for stealing my entrance,"Adam playfully said.
"Well....I try my best,"Ty answered playfully and weakly punching Adam in the arm. Adam knew she could punch harder but didn't say anything."Hey's where's Matt and Jeff?"
"They're going in the ring to announce a match for No Mercy."
"O....k,"Ty said lying down.
***In the ring***
"We know we dont get alot of mic time but Mr.McMahon wanted us to make this special announcement,"Matt said to all their fans. "At No Mercy,Austin and Triple H, you're going down." Matt then threw the mic to Jeff who missed the catch and it hit him right in the forehead.
"Owwww,"Jeff said rubbing his head.
"Dude, you were suppose to catch it."
"Sorry."Jeff then picked up the mic and announced. "And you think you've seen it all, well you haven't seen it 2Extreme style."And with that they left the ring
Chapter 7
Chris had noticed the tension and somewhat isolated air around Liv ever since Jason died. She'd only speak when needed and rarely smiled. But those things weren't what truly bothered him. No, what bothered him the most was the guilty, worried and hurt look she'd get in her eyes. She hadn't reacted as violently as Ty did to the news of Jason's death, but Chris was really doubting that Ty was suffering as much as Liv
At first he had though that Liv had harboured secret feelings for Jason, but that was just a jealous and crazed thought, one he had quickly dismissed. What helped him in ridding himself of that thought were five simple words Liv had said herself:Or maybe it means everything.
She had been talking about her dream then, and Chris was seriously wondering just how right she was.
Now, as he walked towards her apartment door, her words rung in his mind like a broken record. He didn't knock as he had his own key and silently entered her apartment. There were no lights on and everything would have been pitch-black if not for the fireplace in her living room. He made his way into the living room. What he saw next nearly tore his heart out. Liv was sitting on the couch. her knees drawn up to her chest and her arms locked around her legs. Her eyes were glossy and red, and she was biting down on her lower lip. She had a wool blanket wrapped about her shoulders, but she was trembling anyways.
"Ohhh...Liv,"Chris moaned, practically running towards her.
He knelt down in front of her and lightly put his hands on her shoulders. He rubbed her shoulders, then folded his arms around her, bringing her to him. She dropped her head onto his shoulders, crying now.
"What's wrong?"he asked, his voice low and compassionate.
At first she couldn't reply, as she was crying too hard. But she finally calmed down enough to speak. "He's dead, and it's all my fault."
"What are you talking about? Jason's death had nothing to do with you."
Or maybe it means everything
"My dream, Chris, my dream! It was a warning that something bad was going to happen!"
"No, that's-"
"A coincidence? No, I don't think so,"she swallowed hard, and added, "I killed him. I don't know how or why, but I did and it 's my fault."
He lifted her head up and began to kiss either cheek. He was kissing away her tears, speaking gently between every kiss. "No...Liv, it's not...You have...to stop..thinking like that."He stopped and kissed her full on the lips. "Please, because it's killing me just seeing you like this."
"Then tell me you believe me. Chris, I just need to hear it."
The urge to do as she bid was strong, but he knew he couldn't lie to her. "Liv, it seems so...unlikely."
She dropped her head, but didn't say anything. She got up, held the blanket around her and walked over to the front of the fireplace. Chris hesitated only a moment before standing and walking over to her.
"Don't you see what believing you is going to make me also believe?"he was voice was soft , not a bit angry. "It's going to make me that by loving you my life is in danger . I don't want to think that; not even consider it."
"That's easy for you. But what am I supposed to do?"
"Nothing. Just try to forget it."
"But I can't"
"Liv, you have to, please. I need you to."
"But what if I'm right? I won't be able to bear another death."
"I'll help you, I promise. I won't leave you alone to suffer that."
Her expression became slightly puzzled. "I'm confused."
He laughed, not meaning to but unable to help himself. She smiled, an actual smile that brightened her tired face.
"You said that you don't believe, but...."she muttered
"I said I don't want to believe, 'cause it implies too much. But...oh, I don't know Liv! Pschology and astronomy and reading dreams are junk I just don't get!"She laughed and her smile broadened. "But I do know it hurts to see you in pain."
She nodded. "I'll try."
"Thank you."
She pulled back from him, her eyes almost pleading. She stared past him at first, then brought her gaze back to him. "I..I don't want to be alone tonight. It's just to easy to imagine the worst when you're alone, and I won't be able to endure that. It'll just to be too hard."
He pushed her dark hair back from her face and kissed her right below her right ear. She slipped one arm around his neck and rested her other hand on his shoulder.
"I would never allow you to be alone if I had it my way,"he whispered into her ear. "And I'll never leave you if you are suffering or scared, Liv. I promise you; I care too much for you to ever do that."
Chapter 8
"I think we should go to Glenn's hotel and thank him,"Matt suggested to Jeff, Ty, Liv, Adam and Chris. They were just sitting around.
"Ya. I mean he helped out my girl more than once,"Adam agreed hugging Ty.
"Ohhh....,"Chris said mocking Adam in a manly voice.
"Oh Chris, I thought I was a goner. Let's go back to the hotel room,"Jeff said in a high feminine voice between giggles. Adam picked up his drink and dumped it on Chris' head.
"I told you to be careful,"Adam laughed.
"Dude, I'm like so going to kill you."
"And as for you Mr.Jeff,"Ty seductively said. She picked up a drink. "I hope you like ice."And with that she brought him forward and dumped a ice tea down his pants. Jeff was jumping around well Matt and Ty were high fiving. Liv just was in her own world. Chris cam puffing back and Adam not to far behind.They quickly noticed the wetness on Jeff's pants and laughed.
"Let's leave,"Ty suggested. Her multicolored hair all over the place.
"To..puff, puff...tired,"Adam and Chris said in almost perfect unison.
"We'll give you something,"Ty and Liv said seductively in unison.
With that Adam and Chris were dragging Liv and Ty along.
"O...k. Who's in what car?"Liv finally broke the silence.
"Well I'll go with you and Chris because you got good taste in music,"Jeff chimed knowing that Liv loved Pearl Jam.
"And I'll go with Ty and Adam,"Matt said not really caring what car he was in.They hoped into their cars and were gone.
***At Glenn's hotel***
Surprisely they all arrived at Glenn's roughly the same. Ty just walked in well everyone stood out in the hall.
"Dude, aren't you going to knock?"Jeff almost whimpered out.
"Nah. He told me if I ever needed some place to just walk in."
"I think that big red machine is trying to steal my little multicolor freak,"Adam said.
Everyone laughed at Adam's funny. They walked in to find Glenn doing ballet.
"Look, the big red machine is wearing a big red tutu,"Chris exclaimed.
Glenn stepped forward and almost stepped on Jeff who was on the ground laughing so hard.
"Wanna say that again?"Ty stepped in between the two men to stop them from doing something they'll regret.
"We wanted to say thank you,"Ty said lovingly. Glenn tilted his head to the side. Ty quickly noticed it and finished her sentence, "for helping me out lately."
"Ya thanks dude for saving my rainbow,"Adam said shaking Glenn's hand. They all ended up hanging out drinking, listening to music, talking and watching Glenn do ballet. They left at about 4 am.
"Well I'm tired so I'm heading back,"Liv spoke up.
"Me too,"everyone else said in perfect unison.
"Thanks Glenn again and have a good night,"Ty said kissing his cheek.
Glenn blushed but luckily Chris was already out the door so he couldn't say anything
***At their rooms***
"Goodnight Ty,"Liv said hugging her friend tightly.
"Love ya babe. Chris take care of her for the night."
Everyone else said their goodbyes and gave their hugs and left. Jeff, Matt, Chris, Liv, Adam and y all went to their rooms. Tomorrow was a busy day.
Chapter 9
"Ohhhh, I don't wanna Ty! Pleeeease don't make me!"Liv whined, her face pulled together, mimicking a crying child.
Ty stood before her, arms crossed against her chest. "C'me on. I need a new ring outfit and since you're my manager, you have to come."
"Ahhh...but I absolutely loathe malls!"
Ty sighed. "Ya know what?"
Liv shook her head.
"You're turning out too much like Chris."
Liv grinned stupidly, immitating Chris perfectly. "Ya think?"
Ty groaned. "urgh..I don't know what's worst, you being stupid or you being smart."
"Hehehehe, it doesn't matter. But do I have to go to the mall?"
A sly grin slipped over Ty's face. "No...but only if you give me a hundred bucks."
Liv sighed and reached for her wallet, removing five twenties. She handed the bills over to Ty who snatched them, laughing.
"Thanks!"she pocketed the money and grabbed Liv's wrist. "But upir coming anyways!"
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!"
***
Liv sat down on a bench, dropping her armload of bags next to her. Matt, Jeff and Ty stood before her. Both guys had almost as many bags as Liv, where as Ty held nothing but a charge card.
"I can't take anymore!"Liv moaned. "It's almost eleven, shouldn't the malls be closing?"
"Nope, not these ones!"Ty replied grinning. "They stay open all night."
"Oh God,"Liv whined, dropping her head back. "I'm so tired!!!"
"You're dropping out?"Jeff asked, surprised. "Weakling!"
"I'm not made for this type of work!"
"Weakling, weakling, weakling,"Matt and Jeff mocked together.
"Shut up!"
"Weak-"
Liv smacked Jeff in the stomach with a bag and stood up.
"I'm calling a cab."
"Nah, I'll drive you,"Matt offered.
"No,"Liv said smiling,"Ty and Jeff can't possibly carry all these bags."
"Yeah Matt,"Ty moaned.
"Okay, okay,"Jeff said grabbing Matt's wrist. "Bye bye,love ya! Now c'me on, I gotta buy hair dye, a new shirt, a new pair of pants...and oh oh oh oh, a cd!"
Ty picked up Liv's dropped bags. "Take care,girl." She then turned and chased after Jeff and Matt. "Hey, wait for me!"
***Outside Liv's apartment***
Liv stopped just before the stairs, outside of her apartment building. She had sensed somebody watching her, and now was gropeing for her keys as a weapon. Just when she found her keys, a hand fell on her shoulder. She jumped, a startled yelp escaping her.
"Hey, hey, hey,"a deep voice from behind her said. "Shhh....shhhh, it's just Dwayne."
"You scared me."
Dwayne pushed back a strand of her hair. "Oh, now, Dawyne never meant to do that."
Liv stepped back, disgusted. "Dwayne, are you ok?"
"Oh,"he said moving closer to her, "Dwayne has never been better. Speaking of that, how do you like Dwayne's strudel?"
She stepped back again and he grabbed her arm painfully.
"Dwayne!"
"Shhhh."
He tried to kiss her but she kneed him. His grip released and she turned, but not fast enough. Dwayne grabbed her again and threw her against the wall. She cried out in pain and Dwayne hurried towards her. He hit her and she screamed again. Dwayne knotted a fist again, but before he could hit her, a hand gripped the back of his neck.
"Hey-"
He was picked up and thrown off to the side. Liv then saw Glenn standing in front of her.
"Ahhh..."Liv moaned. "Glenn...what-?"
She crumpled to the ground and he picked her up. "Heard you screaming."
"Dwayne...he....he....hit on me!"
"It's okay."
Glenn carried her into her apartment, locking the door.
***at the mall***
"How is that possible?"Ty asked, completely dumbfounded.
She was staring at her charge card.
"What?"Matt asked
"I..I maxed out my credit card."
"Well we have been shopping for about 12 hours and you kinda shop like me so trust me, it is possible,"Jeff answered trying to sound as smart as possible.
"But I didn't know there was a limit."
"Come on guys, let's load all these bags into the car and go see what Liv's doing,"Matt said in a strict daddy voice.
"Yes daddy,"Jeff and Ty said in unison
"Ohhh....Matt has a crush."Jeff mocked.
"Matt and Liv sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!"Jeff and Ty chorused.
"You guys need to stop hanging out. You're starting to think alike and it's scaring me,"Matt said dragging them to the car.
***at Liv's***
Chris, Glenn and Adam were all huddled around Liv. Finally Ty and Jeff stampered in with Matt not to far behind them.
"Ya and did you see that guy looking at us?"Ty giggled holding onto Jeff. Matt just rolled his eyes.
"Ya but that cake was to yummy."Jeff laughed.
Glenn cleared his throat loudly.
"Dude! Are you, like, scamming my chick?"Adam questioned staring Jeff down.
"Oh Adam yes! I'm leaving you for Jeff,"Ty joked wrapping her body around Jeff. "Adam calm down. I love you and oh ya here's your credit card but remember I love you."
"Why?"
"You'll find out,"Ty said stealing Adam's sweater off the ground and wrapped his arms around her.
"What happened?"Matt asked noticing everyone around there.
"D...D...Dwayne hit on me!"Liv cried out.
"Ohh..you poor thing,"Jeff said comforting her with Chris. They sat around the fireplace talking about horrible experiences and pass, comforting Liv until the early morning.
Chapter Ten
"Like, what the fuck did you rent dude?"Adam asked, staring at a video that he had taken from Jeff.
"It's suppose to be en..en..en,"Jeff stammered
Matt smacked his back(watch old dudley videos when they first came to wwf)
"Enlightening!"Jeff pronounced proudly.
"It's foreign!"Adam yelled.
"No...well....uh..."
"Who cares?"Ty asked plucking the tape out of Adam's hand and giving it to Jeff. "You're not even goning to watch it, right baby?"
Adam grabbed Ty and kissed her. "Allright!"
"Just put the damn thing on,"Chris said jumping over and onto the couch. "Let the torture begin!"
Liv sat next to him and put his arm around her. She was still a little sore from the other night, but otherwise okay. Matt sat on the other side of Chris and Jeff sat next to him. Adam sat down next to Jeff and Ty laid on Adam's and Jeff's lap.
Jeff started the movie, waiting eagerly for it to start. Adam and Ty immediately began to make out. Matt and Chris looked at each other grinning.
"Oh no,"Liv said, catching the glance. "Don't do it."
Chris and Matt ignored her and began to immitate making out.
"Oh Adam!"Chris whined in a fake, high, feminine voice.
"Oh Tyla!"Matt mocked Adam.
Liv and Jeff broke out in laughter, clutching their stomach. Ty and Adam looked at the two.
"Jeff,"Adam said, "move."
Jeff ducked and Adam punched Matt hard.
"Owww!"Matt cried.
"Shut up!"Jeff shouted. "We're missing the movie!"
"What a shame,"Chris moaned.
They all sat quiet, most just staring at the screen, not comprehending anything they saw.
"Uhhh...,"Adam moaned. "Jeff, is this Japanese or Chinese?"
"Duh, Japanese,"Jeff scowled. "Only you would ask that, you dumb blonde Canadian.''
"Hey!"Adam and Chris yelled together and both punched Jeff.
Jeff rubbed both his arms, his eyes never leaving the t.v.
Chris leaned towards Liv, and whispered, "what's happening?"
"How the hell should I know? Just nod and smile. It works all the time."
"Got it."
He turned and tried watching the movie again, but it wasn't before long when Matt was tapping his shoulder. He was grinning and Chris immediately picked uo his meaning. Their previous grins, ones both mischevious and handsome. They then began to talk in fake Japanese accents, making up words as they went along. Adam, Ty, Jeff and Liv all turned, weird looks on their faces.
Liv got up, sat back down on Chris' lap. "So, what? Ya leaving me for Matt now?"
"I can't hear the movie!"Jeff bawled, preparing his tantrum.
"Yeah, so shut up!"Adam added sarcastically.
Liv then slid off Chris' lap so she was sitting between him and Matt. They all tried to watch the movie again, but only Jeff was truly interested. Just when they all though they taken to much punishmentm Jeff burst out into sobs. He was driving his fists into his eyes, enormous, choked sobs escaping his throat.
"Dude, why are you crying?"Adam asked, annoyed.
"B-b-b-because....it-it-it-it's so s-s-s-s-sad!"Jeff cried.
"What are they even saying?"
"I-I-I don't kn-kn-know!"
"Oh, it's ok bro!"Matt said hugging his brother.
"Man, you guys are weird,"Adam said getting up. "And now I'm turning this movie off!"
Jeff let out a protesting cry, but nothing more. Adam turned off the video and winked at Chris. He then popped in another video, pressed play and returned to his seat. 'When a Stranger Calls' came onto the screen and Chris turned to Adam, mouthing the words nice.
"Ohhh,"Jeff moaned, grabbing Matt's arm, "I'm scared!"
Adam whispered to Ty, "If you get scared, then just cuddle up next to me."
Ty laughed. "Yeah, the same for you."
The movie blared on, and Jeff screamed. "Guys, I'm really, really scared."
"Hey, you made us watch that damn foreign film,"Liv replied. "Now ypu pay."
Jeff moaned and curled up the best he could on the couch between Matt and Adam. The movie continued on and Jeff was able to sit through most of the movie before he broke and jumped up.
"I can't watch anymore!"
Chris reached past Matt, grabbed Jeff's shirt and pulled him down. "Just sit down, Junior. The movie's almost done."
Jeff groaned and reluctantly began to watch the rest of the movie. He tried to not scream or moan anymore. He lasted for the rest of the movie and when it was over, he was the first one to jump up and turn it off. He turned back to the others and saw boredom overcome their faces.
"O....kay,"Ty said. "Now what do we do?"
A grin slipped over Jeff's face. "Ya know....you're hair has been multi color way to long."
"No Jeff!"Ty screamed, sitting on Adam's lap and wrapping her arms around his neck. "You won't let them, will you Adam?"
"No,"he answered with a grin.
"Matt, Chris, Liv,"Jeff ordered, "get the hairdye."
Chapter eleven
"I can't believe you let them do that to me!"
Adam hugged Ty who's hair was now florenscent purple. "Ah, but it looks so good on you."
"Thanks, but I'm so sure. My head glows."
Adam laughed and Ty punched him playfully.
"Now, Liv got me a match against Jacquelyne, so I gotta go."
"'Kay, good luck!'
***
"Man, looks lik Gemini and Jeff Hardy have alot in common!"the kind shouted exclaimed as Tyla made her way to the ring. "Whoa! Look at that hair. I mean, talk about glow in the dark!"
"Shut up,"J.R said annoyed. "Just shut up, King and don't talk."
The king belted out his infectious laughter, slapping J.R on the shoulder.
"Don't touch me,"J.R moaned
Ty and Jacquelyne shook hands and broke out in a grapple. Ty twisted Jackie's wrist, pinned it behind her back. Jackie tripped Ty, flinging her over. Jackie kicked Ty several times, then climed up onto the top rope. Ty staggered to her feet and Jackie launched herself. Ty punched her stomach and Jackie fell to the mat. Now Ty climbed up the ropes.
"Yeah, gotta love Gemini's new outfit!"King laughed. "Tight!''
"What did I just tell you about talking?"J.R said sternly. "Shut up!"
Ty did a swanton bomb, but Jackie moved at the last moment.
"See! I told you, J.R, I told you that girl and Jeff had alot in common!"
"What did I just tell you?!?
Ty got to her feet and Jackie speared her, both falling to the ground. As soon as they hit the mat, Ty rolled over, pinning down Jackie.
"One!"The referee yelled, smacking th mat. "Two!"smack!! "Three!"
Ding ding!
Ty's arms were raised.
"Yeah!"the king yelled. "Whoa, gotta love that purple little freak!"
"Seek help,"J.R said seriously. "Honestly seek professional help."
"See that J.R! She winked at me! She winked!"
Chapter twelve
It was Christmas eve and Ty, Liv, Chris, Jeff, Matt, and Adam all got a week off. Ty walked in the house to see Jeff with a goofy grin.
"Jeffy?"Ty asked sitting next to him. "What are you doing?"
"Writing my Christmas list. I hope Santa thinks I've been good."
"And you're how old?"
"I'm this many,"Jeff said flicking his fingers forward several times.
"Damn hairdye. Come on outside."
"Ok,"Jeff said standing up gleefully sounding like a little kid.
***outside***
Snow had just fallen previous day. Jeff felt fingers clamp his eyes tightly and breathing on the side of his face.
"Guess who,"a fake deep, husky voice said.
"Oh..oh..oh...santa clause."
"No you dumby,"the guy said slapping Jeff. This caused Jeff to fling around.
"SHANNON!"Jeff screamed in a girly voice. "What are you doing here?"
"It's Christmas!"Shannon said happily throwing a snowball at Matt.
Out of nowhere Ty tackled down Adam. Sittingon top of him she slyly asked, "wanna wrestle?"
"Fine with me but only if we can stay in this position,"a grinning Adam said.
Ty playfully hit him then sat up and put Shannon in a head lock. "Wanna wrestle shortstuff?"
"Shortstuff?"Shannon screamed and poutted at the same time. "You're only a inch taller than me!"
"But still! I'm taller!"
They were sitting around throwing snowballs and having fun.
"Come on Liv,"Chris begged.
"No! I'm not a wrestler."
"But it's not hard,"Adam and Ty protested.
"Yeah, for me?"Chris said kissing her inbetween words.
"Well...I...don't know,"Liv said. "I'll watch and be referee."
"What's going on?"Jeff and Shannon asked in unison well releasing headlocks.
"Big people talk,"Tyla said patting Jeff's shoulder.Shannon pointed at Jeff and laughed. Jeff just punched him not noticing Matt rolling his eyes.
"Damn children,"Matt muttered under his breath.
"Come on big boy,"Ty said motioning Matt towards her, "because if I do say so myself Mr.Hardy I will say that you're bored!"
"And Miss.Sapp I will say you need ridoline,"he giggled.
Everyone was wrestling except for Liv of course. Suddenly she got a snowball thrown at her and when she turned around she got thrown into a snowbank.
"Owwww,"Liv whined holding her head. "What was that for?"
"You need to have fun!"Mark exclaimed well Glenn laughed at her. So everyone sat around and wrestled.
"Come on. We should go to bed. It's getting late,"Adam said rubbing his eyes.
"Ya and tomorrow's Christmas,"Ty said jumping around.
"And Santa's coming,"Jeff yelled
"Lay off the hairdye!"Shannon and Matt screamed in unison.
"Dude, lay off the togetherness time! You're starting to think alike,"Chris mocked.
"So...Glenn, Mark, are you guys staying here tonight? We got the guest bedroom,"Ty said sounding polite.
"Sure,"Mark answered for both of them. They walked in the house.
"Santa, Santa, Santa,"Jeff sang hopping around.
And off they went to sleep.
Chapter Thirteen ***Christmas Day***
Liv left the doctor's office, feeling both dismayed and relieved. She had been scared of both outcomes to the situation and she knew that either way everything would be complicated, but still she hated the feeling of hopelessness. She had suspected something before Dwayne attacked her, and after the attack she had known that she wasn't the only one who got hurt.
She sighed, trying to think of a way to tell Chris. She loved him dearly, but didn't know how he would react to what she had to tell him, but nevertheless, she knew that he must know. She returned to her car, snow lightly falling down around her.
***
"Liv?"
Ty rapped her knuckles against the door, but still no answer. She rooted in her pocket for her.Liv had given both her and Chris a spare key to her apartment. Ty entered the dark apartment and wandered around searching every room. She had a weird feeling that morning and knew it had been about Liv.
"Liv?"
Still no reply
She entered the bathroom, flicking on the light. She sighed as the whole house was completely empty. She scanned the empty bathroom and almost left. But her eye caught a small white rectangular object barely hanging on. She walked over to it. she picked it up and immediately recognizing the home pregnancy test.
"Oh my God,"she gasped, dropping the thing, "EWWWWWWW!"
***Later at Liv's Apartment***
Ty had called almost everybody over. Adam, Chris, Jeff, Matt, Shannon, Mark, Glenn and herself all crowded in the small living room. Ty had given them a very quick explanation of what she thought she knew, and left everybody confused. She had then sighed and repeated herself, slower that time. Chris was perhaps the most shocked out of them all.But quickly after, Matt and Jeff had broke out in jokes.
"Hehehehe,"Jeff tittered
"She's gonna get fat,"Matt agreed, also laughing.
"Jeff,"Shannon cried. "What did you do to Matt? He used to be so...so...mature."
"Not anymore!"Matt replied.
"He's one of us!"Jeff laughed. "One of us! One of us!"
Adam, who was sitting next to Chris, elbowed him, winking. "Hehe...so....I believe your part in Liv's...ummm...uhhhh."
Chris actually blushed and punched Adam in the arm. Mark and Glenn were just watching everybody, both annoyed and amused. Matt, Jeff and Shannon were all laughing madly and perhaps annoyed the two the most. Without talking, Mark and Glenn walked over to the three men. Glenn grabbed Jeff and Shannon, both under one arm and Mark heaved up Matt.
"Whoa! Hey, put me down!"Shannon cried.
Jeff just giggled. "I'm flying!"
"Say,"Glenn said winking at Mark, "Liv does have a balcony."
"Yeah!"Mark agreed. "Do you wanna put a new meaning to Two Extreme, Jeffy?''
"But she lives almost at the to..ohhh!"Jeff moaned, all thoughts of flying quickly gone from his head.
The door then opened and Liv entered.
"Keep quiet,"Ty warned. "You know what I'm talking about."
Liv walked into the living room, a weird look on her face. "What are you all doing here?"
"It's Christmas!"Shannon exclaimed.
They then began exchanging gifts. Shannon gave Jeff a blow up doll, and Matt and Jeff both got each other coupons for an excort service. Liv gave Ty on of two best friend necklaces, made of white gold with a ring hanging down. Adam then gave Ty a silver gothic cross and his leather jacket.
"Awwww...baby, your leather jacket!"she said, kissing him non stop. "Oh...I love you!"
"Just so you can remember me, babe. And I love you too."
The others gave out their gifts and Chris waited last to give his to Liv. It was a diamond necklace. He put it around her neck. Afterwards, he kissed her.
"Liv, I just wanted you to know that I love you and that I'm so happy to...um..well have a baby with you."
"What? How?"
"Uhhh...Ty said that-"
Liv got up and left the room.
"O...kay,"Shannon said, uncomfortable, "what just happened?"
"I'll go,"Ty said but was stopped by Chris.
"No, let me."
He followed Liv and found her in her room. She was sitting on the edge of her bed, crying. He went to her and held her.
"Liv, what's wrong?"
"Oh God, Chris. The...baby..."
She broke out in sobs and for several minutes neither said anything. Finally, when she gained control of herself, she spoke in a steady voice. "I was pregnant, chris. But, when Dwayne attacked me, he killed the...no...our baby."
Chris let her words 'our baby' play in his mind, saddening his heart. "Liv...I'm sorry but why didn't you tell me before?''
"Because I wanted to know for certain."
"Dwayne,"Chris said, hating the word in his mouth.
Liv nodded against his chest, swallowing back a sob.
Chris tightenedhis arms around her, and kissed her forehead. "If only I had been there...then..."
"No. Don't blame yourself."
He nodded. "But let's atleast be thankful for Glenn. If he hadn't been there..then Dwayne would have taken more from me then our unborn child." He hesitated. "No. Let's not think like that. I love you, and I'm entirely grateful for Glenn."
"Yes."
"Promise me something, though, babe?"
"Anything."
"The next time that you even suspect that you're pregnant, tell me, so I can help."
"Yes. I promise."
He held her face and kissed her again. "Are you all right? Can you come back out, and join the others?"
"Yes."
They returned to the other room and for the rest of the night, they continued their Christmas party, dancing, celebrating and just having fun on the last day of their vacation.
Chapter 14
"And now,"Lillian Garcia boomed into the mike, "making their way to the ring, the Hardy Boyz and Gemini!"
The three of them headbanged and jumped around to the Hardy'z entrance music. Both Ty and Jeff had florenscent purple hair, and matching shirts. Jeff's was long sleeved and Ty's was cut at the stomach. She had Adam's leather jacket on, also. Jeff wore black baggy pants and Ty wore tight leather pants. Matt, the one without purple hair, wore a blue shirt and black pants. They all jumped into the ring, the music pumping out across the sea of fans.
"I told you all that Gemini and Jeff Hardy were the same!"the Kind belted out. "They glow!"
"And apparently, Matt Hardy is the only sane person on that team,"J.R commented.
"Nah, just boring!"
"And their challengers,"Lillian said loudly. "The Dudley Boyz and Stacy Keibler."
D'Von, Bubba Ray and Stacy all sauntered down to the ring.
"Whoa!"the king shouted. "Look at Stacy! Gotta love the man that invented mini skirts!"
"You need a girlfriend,'J.R moaned, "and one your own age."
The opposing teams stood facing eachother in the ring as Lillian spoke again.
"And now, introducing the special guest referee, Liv Deschaire!"
Chris' music came on and Liv entered the arena. She wore dark blue baggy pants and a black and white striped shirt that cut at the stomach and had short sleeves. Before she could make it to the ring, D'Von attacked Matt, causing the bell to ring. Liv ran into the ring, forcing Jeff, Ty, Stacy and Bubba Ray out of the ring. Matt got D'Von into a grapple and then kicked him. D'Von staggered and Matt threw him into the top right corner. He then delievered several kicks to D'Von's chest before Liv forced him to quit. Matt then pulled D'Von up and was about to do a Twist of Fate but D'Von shoved Matt forward. Jeff slapped Matt's back and jumped into the ring. He then pummelled D'Von with punches, each blow landing but the last one D'Von was able to duck and low blowed him. D'Von threw Jeff into the corner with Stacy and Bubba and tagged Bubba in. They then both attacked Jeff, kicking him. Then they picked him up and D'Von climbed out of the ring and over to Stacy's side. Bubba Ray threw Jeff into the ropes, went to close line him, but Jeff ducked. Bubba turned and walked right into a jump kick delievered by Jeff. Jeff tagged Ty and Ty grabbed Bubba's ankles, raised his legs and spread them in a V. Jeff climbed to the top, jumped odd and his feet landed right between Bubba's legs. Jeff left the ring and Gemini kicked Bubba several times. She then fell down on top of Bubba, pulling one of his legs up, trying to him. Liv slid down next to Bubba and made only a two count before Bubba kicked out. Gemini kicked Bubbam but allowed him to get to his feet. She went to throw him into her corner, but he reversed it, throwing her into his own corner. He tagged Stacy and both of them kicked Ty before Liv forced Bubba Ray outside of the ring. Stacy threw Ty into the middle of the ring.
"Now this is my type of match!"the king exclaimed. "Cat fight!"
"You're sick,"J.R replied. "And I must say that Gemini has the upper hand right now, as she has more ring expierence."
"Who cares? Let 'em fight however, I say."
Stacy and Ty stood facing each other, yelling taunts. Moving fast, Stacy reached out, grabbed Ty's shirt and ripped it. Liv tried to get between them then, but was shoved to the side by Stacy, as Ty tried desperately to hold up her shirt.
"Who-Who! Yeah, that's just what I wanna see, J.R! Whoa! Whoa!"
Adam's music came on and he ran to the ring. Ty tagged Matt who chased after Stacy. Adam gave his shirt to Ty to the scream of dozens of females. As Stacy tagged D'Von and Matt ran straight into a punch.
"Awww....Gemini's boyfriend has to ruin all my fun,"the king whined.
"You disgust me,''J.R complained.
D'Von threw Matt over the top rope, who landed hard on the floor. D'Von climbed the ropes, jumped off, but Matt moved. Both men were down on the ground, not moving.
"Well,"J.R said, "that's what D'Von gets for trying to take a page out of the Hardyz' fighting book."
"Yeah, hard concrete."
Bubba Ray hurried to help his brother, but Jeff caught him and the two began to brawl outside of the ring. Stacy and Ty then ran at eachother. They slapped and punched all the time, the king laughed, standing up.
"Wow! Yeah, fight girls, fight!"
"Sit down!"J.R pulled the King down.
D'Von staggered to his feet and climbed up to the edge of the ring. He went to climb in but Liv stopped him. They argued and D'Von punched Liv's face, forcing her to the ground. As he ran to help Stacy, Chris' music came on and he ran out.
"Another boyfriend!"the kind exclaimed.
"I don't know who they're protecting their girlfriends from, the Dudleyz or you?"J.R retorted, and the King just laughed.
Adam jumped into the ring, pulling D'Von off Ty so she could fight Stacy. Chris ran to Liv, helping her up. She staggered against him and ended up holding the ropes as Chris ran to help Adam and Ty.
Adam threw D'Von against the ropes and him and Chris did a 3D to D'Von, making the crowd go wild. Adam and Chris then left the ring. Ty threw Stacy over the top rope, Jeff did a Twist of Fate to Bubba Ray, forcing Matt into the ring.
"Well,"J.R said, "I believe Matt Hardy and D'Von are still the legal man as no tag was made for either team."
"Poor Stacy! I mean, hitting the floor like that!"
Matt could barely walk but was able to crawl over to D'Von snd collapse down on top of him. Liv fell to the ground beside the two.
"One!"smack! "Two"smack! "Three"smack! Ding-Ding!
Ty and Jeff helped Matt to his feet and Liv raised their arms into the air.
"Your winners, The Hardy Boyz and Gemini!"Lillian Garcia announced and the crowd cheered wildly.
They left the ring, Ty jumping on Jeff's back in a fashion that Scotty 2 Hotty and Albert would have recognize. Jeff and Adam held Matt up, and Chris walked with his arm around Liv.
"Well, now there's a group of people who really define the saying 'I got your back and you got mine',"J.R said approvingly.
"Hate to see Stacy put through that, though,"the king moaned sadly.
"Do you honestly say things like that just to piss me off?"
The King laughed and waved his hands as the Dudleyz and Stacy left the ring. "Bye Stacy!"
"As I've said before, seek help."
Chapter fifteen
"So..um....Stacy, whatcha doing tonight?''Andrew asked with a grin.
"Probably just meeting up with Terrie(rhyno) why?"
"Well since you have plans-"Andrew was saying before he got cut off by Stacy.
"TELL ME."
"Ok, you don't have to yell. I knew you'd be game anyway. Do you wanna go out?"
"Oh yes Andrew! Yes, yes, yes,"Stacy responded with a highpitch girly scream.
"Pick ya up at 7. Bye,"Andrew said waving good-bye.
***at seven***
"You look....um....um...wow!"Andrew said his eyes almosy falling out of their socket.Stacy was wearing a ultra mini mini skirt with a tube top and her hair down.
"Thanks. Where are we going?"
"First dinner than a walk on the beach."
"Awww, romantic,"Stacy cooed kissing Drew.
***at the restaurant***
"Oh my God. That was awesome. Want some dessert?"Drew asked hungrily.
"Are you kidding? I'm full,"Stacy whined.
"You only had a peice of chicken. Cheap date,"Andrew joked.
"Will you like anything else?"the middle age waitress asked.
"Just the check,"Andrew answered. A couple minutes later the check comes. Andrew leaves thirty bucks.
"Let's go babe."
***at the beach***
"Andrew! I wanna take it slow."
"I thought you were easy."
"STOP!"Stacy screamed slapping Andrew. He held his face.
"Bitch, that hurt!"Drew screamed slapping Stacy harder. He started hitting her and never stopped. Suddenly Adam came out of nowhere.
"Oh Adam. Thank you for saving me. Andrew's gone crazy,"Stacy complained hugging Adam..
"Get off of me you little homewrecker. I have a girlfriend and I love her,"Adam said punching her straight in the nose.
"W...W...Why are you g...g...guys doing this to me?"
"We're sick of you destroying everyone's relationship and we're here to stop you,"Andrew said sickly.
:And you ripped Ty's shirt,''Adam chimned in. "Now you must pay."
So they punched and brutally beat down Stacy. Stacy was finally able to fight back but only for a second. She scratched Andrew in the eye which only made him madder.
"Bitch! Adam let's finish her off."
And as soon as Andrew said that Adam stabbed her in the heart and she died instantly.
"Pay backs a bitch, bitch,"Andrew whispered in her ear well playing with her hair.
"Come on man, let's go see Ty and Liv,"Adan said pulling up his friend. They left to go find the girls.
Chapter sixteen
"Come on guys, we gotta go,"Matt said with his hands on his hips.
"But daddy, we wanna stay here,"Ty whined iving Matt the puppy dog eyes.
"Fine! 5 more mintues."
Adam, Jeff and Ty all jumped around happily screaing 'yay'. They were at the arcade and Matt wanted to leave but they wouldn't let him.
"Luckily we had a girl here because if not we would've had to leave,"Jeff poutted.
"Last one to the slide is a rotten egg,"Ty screamed running off.
"Be good,"Matt yelled after them. Sitting down he thought 'damn hair dye and canadians.'
Exactly five minutes later the trio cam stumbling back to a sleeping Matt. Jeff whispered in his ear, "Matty, wake up."
After a couple of minutes Ty got frustrated and sat in his chest and pounded at him and was yelling for him to get up. She looked over at Adam and Jeff with a sad look, "why ain't he waking up?"
"'Cause you're sitting on me,"Matt responded causing Ty to jump.
"Oh shit. Don't do that to me,"Ty said slapping Matt's arm causing him to fake being hurt but laughed at the same time.
"Matty, Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt. Guess what I did! Guess what I did!''Jeff cried proudly.
"What?"
"I forget now!"Jeff pouted.
"Ty taste yummy,"Adam said grinning.
"What the hell are you on? Wait, better question, what dod you let Jeff give you?"
"Ummm......you were the one who said we had to go, so why aren't we leaving?"Ty question grabbing Adam and Matt's wrist. Matt squirmed out of her hold.
"Wait! What are you trying to hide?"Matt inquired with a stupid grin.
"Ummm....nothing..I...um..just wanna see my sis."So she dragged them all out.
***at Liv's apartment***
"But Chris, you're gonna hurt yourself,"Liv said pleading with Chris. Just as soon as she said that Adam, Ty, Jeff and Matt all stumbled into the house.
"Liv, Liv, Liv,"Ty gleefully said when she walked in. "I beat Jeff at basketball and Adam at go-karts and daddy helped me win 200 tickets to get a stuff animal,"Ty gleemed holding up a teddy bear with 'angel' written on it.
"Daddy? Angel?"Liv and Chris questioned.
"I'm daddy and I thought angel would remind her of something she's not,"Matt chimned. Ty responded to that by sticking her tongue out.Matt noticed that and did the same back.
"And I'm ok with Ty beating me,"Adam said trying not to be embarassed about losing and kissing Ty passionatly.
"Me too,"Jeff said stupidly. "And I let her win."
"Sure ya did,"Adam said breking from Ty just to say that.
"So what were you guys talking about before we interrupted?"Matt questioned.
"Well Chris wants to attack Dwayne for harming me and my baby and I don't want him to do it by himself so...-"Liv explained.
"And you want us to go with him?"Ty finished.
"Ummm....please?"Liv pleaded with only her eyes.
"We'll always be here and of course,"Adam answered.
"we get to beat up Dwayne! We get to beat up Dwayne,"Jeff chanted jumping around.Couple second later Ty joined in but stopped when they noticed Matt giving them a stern look. They just bowed their heads in shame and stayed quiet.
"Let's roll,"Chris said.
***Dwayne's changing room***
"Oh hey guys what's up?"Dwayne asked grinning at the group of men standing in front of him.
"Ah, not much, actually,"Matt said crossing his arms.
"Well, that's cool,"Dwayne replied, not having a clue as to what their intent was.
"Yeah, so we just came over here to talk,"Adam replied.
"Yeah,"Chris said, slinging an arm around Dwayne's shoulders, "like, did you know that I was going to be a father?"
"Really? Well, con-"
"I said 'was going to be',"Chris connected him. "Yeah, if you hadn't decided to beat my girlfriend."
He delievered a punch to Dwayne's stomach. Adam and Ty just sat back and watched as Jeff, Matt and Chris all beat on Dwayne. Dwayne got one or two shots but nothing more. They were all beating on him until Adam pushed them away.
"Dude, what are you doing?"Matt asked kinda pissed.
"Ty and I have been sitting back and watching you three beat on Dwayne. We'll I'm sick of it be-"
"Thank you Adam,"Dwayne breathed out.
Adam slapped him, "bitch don't interrupt me. Damn what's up with people thinking I'm helping them. As I was saying because Ty has known Liv longer than any of us so she deserves a shot."
"Ya, I wanna hit! I wanna hit,"Ty cooed.
"But I'm Liv's boyfriend."
"But she deserves a hit,"Adam said well shoving Chris to hold Dwayne back.
"Thank you Adam,"Ty said kissing him. "And you bastard, you have never been hit until you've been hit by a girl."
She punched Dwayne with all her might causing Dwayne to fall out of breath. When he fell, he hit his head hard and is now unconscious. Ty still wanted more though.
"Calm down girl,"Matt inquired. Ty just ignored him. Suddenly Jeff picked her up and Put her on his shoulders.
"Let's go tell Liv,"Jeff said as they left.
Chapter seventeen
"This is probably the biggest match up for Gemini so far,"J.R commented, watching Ty and Amy grapple.
The King opened his mouth to say something but was stopped by Jim.
"No, don't say anything. Just watch."
Amy tripped Ty and began to punch her nonstop. Ty threw Amy off of her and began to kick her. Ty then climbed onto the top turnbuckle and did a picture perfect Swanton Bomb to Amy. The move connected and both women were left lying on the ground. The ref checked, both of them and began to count.
"One!"
Amy stirred and Ty rolled onto her stomach.
"Two!"
They both began to crawl and it was Amy who reached the ropes first and was able to get to her feet. The ref stopped the count and Amy pulled Ty up. She delievered a couple of sharp hooks to Ty's face before her fist was caught and it was now Ty punching Amy's face. Ty then grabbed Amy's hand and threw her into the corner. Ty then ran and jump kicked Amy's face.
"Wow,"the king said, trying to sound sophisticated. "Gemini is showing some real athleticism here."
"Well, this is for the Women's title,"J.R replied, delighted at the fact that the King was actually talking about the match. "Amy's held the title for some time now. And the way Gemini's been fighting, this is going to be a grueling match."
The King laughed and J.R knew what was coming next. "Yeah, J.R-"
"Stop, for the love of God, don't say it."
"Cat fight!"
Amy and Ty were exchanging punches. Amy threw Ty into the ropes and closelined an unsuspecting Ty. Ty held her face and rolled onto her stomach.
"No boyfriend today,"The King said.
"He does have a macth tonight, following this one as a matter of fact."
amy now climbed up the ropes, and jumped down, landing on Ty. Once again, both women were down on the mat. The ref was about to start his count off when Ty struggled to her feet. She tried to pin Amy, but she kicked out.
"Well, a two count for Ty,"J.R commented.
Ty pulled Amy up, threw her into the ropes and jump kicked her face again. Amy went down. Ty collapsed on top of Amy, hooked her leg up and pinned her. She got the three count and the crown went wild. Ty was given the Women's championship belt, and she held it up in both of her hands above her head.
"Your new Women's Champion,"Lillian boomed, "Gemini!"
***Ty's Locker Room***
"Babe, you so totally reek of awesomeness,"Adam declared, kissing Ty.
"Congratulations,"Liv said delighted, "you earned it."
"Damn straight!"
"Hey Liv,"Shannon asked turning to Ty's manager, "why don't you wrestle? You seem like you could do it."
Liv dropped her eyes and crossed her arms against her chest. Ty also became quiet and Shannon immediately understood he made a mistake, a big mistake. "Hey, listen, Liv, I'm sorry, just forget-"
Liv turned and quietly and quickly left the locker room.
"Liv,"Chris said, beginning to go after her. But what Ty said next made him stop dead in his tracks.
"Her father was abusive."
He turned to face her, his face pale. "What?"
Ty looked up at Chris, her face also completely pale. "He...was a drunk...an alcoholic. He'd beat Liv.."Ty bit her bottom lip and closed her eyes, something she did when she was scared.
Somebody pounded at the door. "Mr.Copeland, you're up."
Adam hesitated before leaving the room for his match. After he was gone, Ty spoke up again.
"She loved wrestling, but feared it. She wouldn't fight, only manage."
"Oh God,"Chris murmured. "How come I never knew?"
"Only I knew,"Ty admitted. "My parents didn't even know."
Chris made his way to leave, but Ty stopped him. "Let me go this time."
He nodded and ran his fingers through his dirty, blonde hair and allowed Ty to walk past him. Ty found Liv standing down the hallway, her back against the wall and her arms folded against her chest. She wasn't crying but looked horribly dismayed.
"Hey,"Ty said quietly.
"Liv didn't look up. "Hey."
You okay?"
"sort of." Now she did look up at her best friend. "Do you wanna hear something weird...or paranoid?"
"I think I'm going to hear it anyways, though."
Liv briefly smiled. "Right...It's weird how Stacy's death reminds me of him...my father?"
"Your father or your dream?"
"Both, really." Relief came over her face. "But I think I'Ve come to a conclusion."
"Oh?"
"Yeah. My dream was a warning...one I didn't need. And now I'll have to deal with the guilt."
Ty was silent so Liv continued. "I think everything's done."
"What's done?"
Liv gave Ty a completely genuine smile. "I have no clue!"
They laughed and returned to finish their celebration.
Chapter eighteen
Juvenile's 'back dat ass up' blared through the arena. The crowd stood for the Women's Champion.
"This match is for onefall. Introducing a WWF newcomer. Shannon Moore with his tag team partner and Women Champion Gemini,"Lillian beamed.
When they walked out, the crowd wasn't sure to boo or scream for Shannon so they did both. Al Snow's music blared next.
"And now weighing in at 350 combined. It's the team of Jaqueline and Al Snow!"
Jackie and Al Snow made their way to the ring, the crowd cheering. They entered the ring, and all shook hands. Ty and Jackie then climbed out, allowing Shannon and Al fight. The bell rang and Al Snow and Shannon grappled. Al Snow flipped Shannon over his back. He helped him up and throw him into the ropes. Al Snow bent down at the waist, preparing to flip Shannon again. But as Shannon bounced off the ropes he kicked Al Snow's face. Shannon then set up a Twist of Fate, but Al broke out of it, pushing Shannon forward. Al then tried to pull off a DDT but Ty kissed him. Jackie jumped off the apron and pulled Ty down. They fought on the outside of the ring. Al then pulled off a DDT. He got to his feet and pulled Shannon up. Al then did a back breaker. Shannon crumpled to the mat and Al Snow fell down on top of him, hooked his leg. The ref got a three count and the bell rang. Ty helped Shannon to his feet and shook hands with Jackie. Jackie and Al left the ring.
"Awwwww....we didn't get to see the puppies,"King moaned.
"Shut up!"J.R screamed obvisouly annoyed.
Ty helped Shannon up and warpped his arms around her nexk to keep him from falling. They slowly made it to the back of the arena.
***backstage***
"Jeffy, take Shannon and bring him to the bench over there,"Ty instructed Jeff sounding as mature as possible. Jeff listened without whining.
"Baby, are you ok? You took a pretty bad beating out there,"Adam asked kissing her passionately.
"Ya, just a little sore but Shannon got the worst of it,"Ty replied.
"Well, I'm heading back to the hotel,"Adam said.
"I'll go with you."
"No,"Adam said quickly. "I mean....um......stay here and make sure Jeff stays out of trouble and Matt make sure they both stay out of trouble,"Adam demanded. Jeff and Ty stuck out their tongue simutaniously. Adam grabbed his things then left. The boys had a match so Shannon and Ty stood around the monitor tensely. When the boys came back, they showered quickly and left for the hotel.
***at the hotel***
"It's me and Adam's 1 year anniversity and he still hasn't done anything romantic,"Ty pouted.
"I'm sure he has something big in mind,"Matt reassured, comforting his friend. Jeff and Shannon nodded in agreement. Jeff, Matt and Shannon were on opposite sides of the hotel from Ty and Adam so they said their good-byes.
"Ty, if you need us you know where to find us,"Matt said before leaving. When she was walking away, she could hear Jeff and Shannon teasing Matt about being so corny. She just laughed and quietly found her room. A couple feet away from her room, she saw rose pedals. She looked at them, confused and then went to the door to find a poem. She read the poem carefully and automatically thought it was one of Jeff's poems. She walked in the room, slowly, to find candles and rosepedals everywhere. She looked around then was scared by arm around her waist . She immediately calmed down when she knew who the strong, muscular arm belonged too. He slowly began kissing her neck. They both fell to the floor. Ty laughing in between kisses.
***an hour later***
"Well, that was fun. Just one question. Jeff's poem?"Ty questioned Adam seriously for once.
"How did you know?''
"Well, I've known Jeff my entire life so I know how he writes and I know you can't write."
"Well, did you like everything?"Adam asked.
"Yes, actually loved it as much as I love you. Happy anniversary baby,"Ty said lovingly.
"Happy anniversary,"Adam said in between kisses. Adam and Ty fell asleep in a spoon fashion.
Chapter Ninteen
"Just tell me Chris."
Chris and Liv were walking in Chris' hotel room, his hands held over her eyes. He was leading her towrds the balcony, that much she was sure of. She wore black pants and a tight cream sweater the fell right down to her finger tips. Her hair was down and spread out over her shoulders.
"No, not yet,"Chris replied, his voice sounding excited and amused. They stopped walking. "Now, Liv, can I trust you to keep your eyes closed?"
"Maybe." Her voice was seductive and teasing.
"You'll ruin it."
"Fine."
He removed his hands from around her eyes and she kept them closed. She could hear the screen door slide open and he took her hands, guiding her onto the balcony. She could hear the sound of waves and felt the cool breeze against her exposed face. Chris closed the door behind him, placed his hands on her hips and guided her forward a few steps.
He leaned forward, pushed back some of her hair and whispered into her ear, "okay. Open your eyes."
She did and was struck silent by what she saw. The sky was black, completely filled with lumious stars and a beautiful crescent moon. She could see the sandy beach below and the water rushing up around it. Her eyes were then drawn to the balcony and the edge was lined with burning candles of various shapes and sizes. The top of the railing was also covered in burning candles.
"Look up,"he suddenly whispered in her ear.
She obeyed just in time to see meteors streak across the sky.
"Oh....Chris. It;s beautiful."
She turned to face him suddenly and his hands immediately went to her hips. His hair was in a ponytail with a few strands loosem and he wore his glasses, that she just loved so much. He wore a dark grey sweater and jeans. She ran the backs of her fingers along his cheeks.
"Do you like it?''he asked smiling.
"Like it? I love it! It's perfect."
She kissed him lovingly and when he pulled away she kept her hands on his chest. He took her hands and held them where they were.
"It gets better,"he said, his smile broadening.
"How can it possibly get better?"
"Where in the world do you wanna go most?"
"What?"
"Any place. It doesn't matter. And if you can't think of just one, then name a couple and we'll go to all of them."
"Are you serious?"
"Yes, of course."
"Awww...I love you so much."
"I love you, too."
They kissed again, this time with Chris holding her to him. She remembered thinking that she didn't want him to let go of her and she remembered the way his arms tightened around her waist. There was a brief moment then when she truly registered how beautiful the night was and the she just stopped thinking after that.
