| As soon as the door shut behind Matt, Jeff turned to him and said, �Do you think she has a clue?� �No, not at all. She�s all bummed about her ankle.� Matt said. �She really wanted that title.� �Ok, so you haven�t told Lexi either, right?� �No Jeff, I haven�t. I gave you my word that I wouldn�t, and I won�t.� �You now how much this means to me.� �Yeah, I know.� Jeff and Matt got into the car a headed out into the city, on a mission. Back at the hotel, Amy knocked on the door to Ryann�s room, and Lexi got up to answer it. �Hey Amy, what�s up?� �Not much,� She said as she walked into the room. She saw Ryann on the bed with her ankle all wrapped up.� �Oh my god Ryann! What happened?� Amy asked. �Ryann tripped at the drugstore and sprained her ankle.� Lexi said. �Can you still wrestle?� Amy quickly inquired. �No, I can�t wrestle Trish tonight� Ryann said. �Well, that sucks. I know how much you were looking forward to it. So how are things going in Vermont? Have you seen Chris?� Amy asked. �Yes, and to make a long story short, my brother threw him out yesterday morning. But I don�t even want to deal with the crap, ya know. I figure that we�ll drive back tomorrow, and then leave Wednesday morning.� �How does Jeff feel?� Lexi asked. �I haven�t talked to him about it.� Ryann told them. �But I kind of feel like he thinks my family doesn�t like him. I know I would if I was him.� �Do they not like him?� Amy inquired. �Everyone likes him, including my brother. Which, my brother has never liked any of my boyfriends, ever. It�s my mother. She just adores Chris, and she wants me to get back together with him. I don�t ever want to see him again, ever!� �No offense, but your mother sounds like a real bitch.� Lexi said. �She is!� Ryann exclaimed. �She doesn�t like Jeff because he�s �different�, as she puts it. It drives me up a wall to think she�d rather see me with a mentally abusive asshole that dresses like Mr. Perfect than to see me with a multi colored hair, and fingernail polish wearing sweetheart who treats me like a goddess. I don�t get it. Why does it matter to my mother what he looks like? She�s not the one who wakes up to him every morning, or sees him everyday. I am. And I happen to like the rainbow hair and nails!� She said so matter-of-factly. �So don�t worry about it. Your mother is just going to have to get used to Jeff, now isn�t she.� Lexi stated. �I�ve known Jeff for a long time, and he has done so much changing since he�s been with you Ryann. He is not the same since he met you, but I don�t mean that in a bad way.� �I know Amy, Jeff is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I remember wanting so badly to meet him, and I never, in a million years, thought I would be where I am today.� �That�s so cool Ryann, because not many people get to live out their dreams, and you are.� Lexi said. �So anyway, you�ve got a sprained ankle. You can still go out and get something to eat with us, right?� Amy said. �Yeah, I do have crutches, and I am starving.� Ryann got up off the bed and grabbed her crutches, and the three girls went downstairs to get some lunch. |
