"Yeah,
Steph, I was gonna dump you just then."
"Is Beth that girl who just spoke to me?" Stephanie
asked.
"Yep."
"Jeff, put me on the speaker phone."
I looked at Beth in the bathroom sobbing in a tissue sitting on
the toilet. I sighed and put Stephanie on the speaker phone.
"You're on." I said.
"Okay...Beth! Can you hear me?" Steph said.
Beth looked up at the phone, got up and walked over to the
telephone.
"Who is this?"
"Look, it's Stephanie. I need to explain something. I think
Jeff was just gonna dump me for you a minute ago. He's told me
about you before. He said you told him to see other people."
"Yeah, I know."
"Well, I'm the person he's been seeing but I can tell that
it isn't gonna work out. Jeff loves you more than he loves me. I
want Jeff bad but you need him much more. Two woman can't share
one man, it's impossible. I don't want Jeff to be torn between
you and me. He doesn't deserve that. I care for him and you
shouldn't be mad at Jeff. We're through, I'm just his friend
now."
I couldn't believe what Stephanie was saying. She was saving my
ass. Everything she said was so true. I hoped Beth would listen
to Steph's wise words because I really didn't want to lose her.
Beth looked at me for a minute with tears in her eyes.
"You're right, Stephanie. I shouldn't be mad at him. He was
gonna do the right thing. Thank you for making me realize
that."
"No problem, we can't hurt our Jeffrey. Take care of him for
me." Stephanie said.
"Don't worry, I will." Beth smiled.
Stephanie hung up the phone. Beth kept looking at me with a smile
on her lips as she walked slowly to me. She gently grabbed my
face.
"You are a good man to me and I'm gonna be good to you from
now on. It doesn't matter about all this drama we go through. The
only thing that matters is that you love me and I love you. Look
at me. I'm sorry about what I said. I didn't mean it. Now, give
me a kiss."
"Gladly." I replied.
We pulled each other into a long kiss. Damn, this woman was
special. The lady in my life, my inspiration, my all, my life and
most of all, my love.
"That was so beautiful." Amy cried.
Beth laughed and I rolled my eyes. Sometimes, I loved Amy.
Sometimes, I couldn't stand her. Right now, she was alright with
me.
*******
Beth and I were at the mall holding hands walking around. To my
surprise, not that many people knew who I was but I didn't really
care. Usually, I ended up buying Beth a bunch of clothes and CDs
just to make her happy. Today, all she wanted was a movie,
"American Pie", a movie that I personally didn't really
like but it was funny a little bit. I was pretty happy today
because Wrestlemania was coming up. I couldn't wait until the
Triangle Ladder Match. Beth said she was flying up to Anaheim,
CA, just to be by my side, which was so sweet of her. As we were
walking, all of a sudden, I heard a bunch of girls scream. I
looked around and saw about fifteen girls looking at me crying. I
sighed.
"I knew it wouldn't last." Beth said.
"I won't be long, honey."
"Okay. Here they come."
Beth walked into a store as the girls ran up to me. Then, more
girls ran towards me. It was about fifty of them all together.
"Oh, shit!"
I ran over to Beth, grabbed her hand and ran away fast from those
crazy girls who treated me like I was a Backstreet Boy. That made
me sick. I was being embarrassed by these girls. We ran all the
way out to my car outside. Beth and I got in. I backed out of the
parking space, the girls caught up to the car and banged on the
car window. Two girls were trying to climb on the top of my car.
Beth looked so scared. I could hear all of those girls saying
they loved me. I pressed my foot hard on the gas. They all fell
off and we were gone. Some of them still chased the car. I
screeched to a stop when I almost ran into this other car. The
lady in that care gave me the finger. I turned the car the other
way and drove off. Some crazy girl was still chasing the car.
Beth turned around and looked at her.
"Wow! She needs to be on a track team!" Beth said.
I laughed. That girl was running pretty fast but I wasn't
impressed. She eventually gave up when I turned onto a highway.
Beth sighed, put in her Mariah Carey CD and turned on
"Heartbreaker".
"That was ridiculous. Why do they treat me like I'm an
outcast?"
"I don't know."
"I mean, I'm a normal person who just wrestles in the WWF.
I'm not Justin Timberlake! There's more to me than just my
looks!"
"While we're on that subject, let me tell you something. I
love you for you, Jeff. Not for your beauty, money, fame or
anything like that. Always remember that."
"That's why you mean so much to me. The people who just know
me as Jeff and not Jeff Hardy are the people who are my real
friends. Not like those crazy girls. I thankful for every fan
that I get but...damn."
"Jeff, there are some fans out there who like you for you
and Matt for Matt. There are fans out there who see more to you
than just your beauty. Those are the real fans." Beth
explained.
"No, they're not fans...they're friends."
