Disclaimer: I don't own any of the wrestlers used in this story, 'cause if I
did, I'd be busy with them right now *grin*. But I do own Jami, for she is me.
Tasha owns herself. (Heaven help the person who tries to claim he/she owns
either of us). This is the sequel to "Take That Step" , "One Step
Back" and "one Step Forward" you'll find the addresses to those
stories in my signature at the bottom of this email. And I use the wrestlers
wrestling names in the story, JUST DEAL WIT IT! And don't bother suing me...all
you'd get is a half eaten ham sandwich and a bag of chips from 2 years ago.
Distribution: Ask me if you can use it, more than likely I will say yes.
Rating: So far, it's a PG-13
Content: Nothing bad as of yet, probably won't be anything to bad
either....maybe some cussing.
Spoilers: Um...anything can happen and I'm just writing as I go, so I don't know
yet *L*.
Summary:Jami's ran off, and no one knows where she went....has she completely
lost her mind? Will Jeff lose his along with her?
Feedback: I need feedback like I need air! So give it to me, babee!

Jeff reached the arena where SMACKDOWN was to be held that night. He hadn't
heard anything from Jami since she had called him two days ago. Traci had stayed
at the house in case Jami showed up there.
As Jeff walked through the backstage area he could see the other wrestlers
watching him with pity. He didn't even care anymore. He just wanted to get into
the ring and forget for awhile. Forget everything for fifteen minutes.
He reached the locker room and dragged himself inside. Matt sat on a bench
inside, reading over a piece of paper. "Hey man. How ya doin'?" Matt
asked, jumping up to give Jeff a hug. Jeff shrugged. "I'm just glad to be
back at work." "Have you heard anything from her?" Matt asked.
"Nope. Nothing. Part of me wishes I hadn't gotten so angry at her, but at
the same time, it's what I had to do. It was the only way to get to her.
Anyways, I don't want to talk about it. I want to focus on tonight's match with
Christian. What are you reading?" Jeff asked.
"Oh....nothing." Matt said, folding the paper. Jeff looked at him
suspiciously. "Come on Matt, out with it." "It's a note for Jami,
from Stacy Keibler. It says she's challenging Jami, Tasha, and Lita to a triple
tag team match against herself, Jaded and Angel....but not just any match. A bra
and panties match....at Summerslam. She sent Lita and Tasha a similiar
note." Matt told him.
"There is no way they are going to go for that!" Jeff laughed. Matt
shrugged, "I guess we'll see."

Jeff's match against Christian went pretty well. Jeff's knee was giving him some
trouble, and Christian was focusing on it. Christian brought in a chair to use
on Jeff's knee, but before he could, Edge came running out to stop him. Amethyzt
ran out right behind him with a chair of her own.
Christian quickly ran out of the ring and up the ramp. A few moments later Tasha
and Edge helped Jeff limp to the backstage area. He knew the trainer would want
to look at his knee, but he just wanted to get back to his locker room first.
When he finally limped inside, he sat on a bench and slowly stretched his knee
out, grimacing. He went to reach into his gym bag for a wrap to put on it, but
his hand brushed across something else first. He pulled out a single white
envelope. He stared at it for a moment before Edge asked if he was okay.
"It's from Jami." Jeff stated numbly. "How do you know? There's
no markings on it." Tasha pointed out. "I just do." he told her
as he carefully pulled out a piece of heavy paper, folded in half.
He sighed a deep, hopeful sigh before he opened it. Edge and Tasha slowly
watched his eyes travel across the words. After a moment he sat back, stunned.
Then he handed the letter to Tasha just as Matt and Lita entered the room.
"It's a note from Jami. Read it out loud, it'll save time." Jeff
instructed.
'Jeff, I've started this letter a billion times, but...I can't start it off
right. I've already screw'd things up so badly. I'm surpised you are even
willing to read what I've wrote. Jeff, I'm so sorry. I never wanted to hurt you.
I love you more than I do my own life. But, I ran because I knew if I let you
help me like I know you would have, you'd have made me feel good about myself
again. And I don't deserve that. I put our baby at risk, not you. I'm punishing
myself because you wouldn't have. But Jeff...I'm willing to TRY and work on it.
Remember, I never make a promise I can't keep, but I promise I'll try. I love
you and want to be with you. I've driven two nights straight to finally catch up
with y'all...so that's why you haven't seen me...I've been sleeping. But Jeff,
if you can forgive me, I"ll be at the same hotel y'all are in...301. And
please, relay this message on to all my other friends who are probably reading
this too. If you can forgive me please come to my room. My sister is here with
me now too. I love you all, and if you can't forgive me, then I'll understand. I
can't forgive myself either. ~Jami~
Tasha read outloud. "Well?" Edge asked the group. Everyone's eyes
turned toward Jeff. "You guys need to make up your own minds. I have my
decision made. And no, I"m not telling you what it is. I'll see you
later." Jeff said, before leaving.
