Jeff and Sky went downstairs and had breakfast quietly in her kitchen. "So are we really gonna tell him everything?" Sky asked Jeff as if he knew what to do. Jeff looked up from his cereal bowl, "Well I guess we shouldn't tell him EVERYTHING." He answered, then went back to playing with the floating flakes in his bowl. "When The times right, We'll tell him. Try not to make this a bigger deal then it already is." He spoke calmly, it soothed her.
Jeff got up and was getting ready to leave, Sky walked him to the door, "I'll call you later, ok?" He said, she shook her head. "Hey, give me some love." he said putting his cheek in her face, and she kissed it softly. He squeezed her tight and reasured her that everything would be ok. Skyler opened the door for him and Matt stood there, just about to knock!
"Jeff? What are you doing here?" Skyler was on the verge of a panic attack, but Jeff, always calm and collected, "I stopped by this morning to appologize for the past few days, We were fighting, and it was, well alot of it was my fault so I wanted to say I was sorry." Skyler was impressed he was so quick to think of something, but a little disappointed that they hadn't gotten the guilt off thier chests, when Matt was standing right here. I mean, its bad enough they gotta do this to him, but lying on top of that? She began to feel a little bad. "Wow, That's real big of you man, I'm proud of you bro." Matt said playfully hitting his brother in the chest. "Yeah, well I'm gonna head out, and go do my thing today, you two kids have fun!" Jeff said as he didn't even give Sky another look and got into his car and drove off. Sky spent the day playing sick so Matt wouldn't be all over her. She didn't want to hurt him, but the harm was done, now she couldn't lie. She wondered if Jeff would be terribly mad if she were to tell Matt herself, then decided that she would want Jeff there.
"Baby are you ok?" Matt asked concerened. "yep." Sky answered not making eye contact with him and shuffeling through her papers. They sat in Sky's living room that evening, they didn't speak, the only sound heard was coming from the crackling of the fire place. "You seem so distant." He said. "Distant? I'm right here." She answered not looking up from her papers. "baby?" He started, moving closer to her and putting one hand on her knee, "Let's go to bed, it's getting late, and you are tired." "Matt! I"m not tired, and can't you see, I'm busy, I have work to do. They gave me the job of finding a gimmick for Essa Rios! Give me some time." She rammbled. "Fine, do what you got to do, I'll be upstairs." Matt said angry. "Don't wait up for me." Sky said under her breath. Matt marched up the stairs and slammed the door, she heard the shower go on. Sky put her papers away quickly and grabbed her car keys. She got in her car and drove around for awhile then decided she would drive the few miles to Jeff's house. What was she doing? She got out and went to his door. Skyler rang the bell, no answer. Well of couse there was no answer, he was young and exciting and single. She felt as if she were married and tied down to Matt. They never went out to dinner, or out on dates, or even clubs. Once the sex wasn't fun anymore, what did they have.... nothing. Jeff would go out clubbing, he loved attention from girls he was probably with a few somewhere right now she thought. It made her sick to think of someone else with him. She got in her car and drove home. She opened her door, and Matt and Jeff were sitting at the kitchen table. "HEY" they said at the same time. "hi." she said. Jeff jumped up from his chair and went over and hugged Sky. "It's now or never Skyler." He whispered in her ear. Her heart was pounding and, she knew now why Jeff was here. He wanted to tell Matt right now. This was a conversation that Skyler thought over in her mind a hundred times these last few days. It didn't matter how much she thought it over, because when it came down to it no matter what she did, she couldn't be prepared for this. "Wow, what a revalation, Never thought you two would get along this well." Matt said after seeing his brother hug his girlfriend. Jeff looked up into his brothers eyes, he put one hand on his shoulder and told him to sit down. Matt sat down, "What's wrong Jeff?" Matt questioned. "Matt your my brother and I love you, so I'm gonna be honest with you, even if the truth hurts." "Don't even tell me Jeff! You can't quit wrestling yet, I know its hard, and it would probably be a hell of a lot easier sitting behind some desk somewhere, But we area tag team. We're the Hardy Boyz, and I'm not ready to let you give up." Matt pushed. Jeff shook his head as if agreeing with Matt. Skyler thought to herself, 'Is he not gonna say anything, is he not even going to tell Matt that this isn't the case at all?' She decided to speak up, "Matt, no that's not it. That's not what Jeff needed to tell you." Matt's face went pale. He didn't understand and he was so confused. "Matt," Jeff started, "In this world, you win some and you..." Matt cuts him off, "Cut the bullshit Jeff, what the hell are you trying to say. Jeff looked at Skyler and took her hand in his. "I'm in love with Sky, Matt" Jeff stated bluntly,"and i think she's in love with me too." Jeff Hardy had taken bumps and falls from 20 feet high ladders, off the top of balcony's and through tables, and nothing ever hurt more then having to tell his brother this. "What?!" Matt screamed. "What the Fuck is wrong with the two of you!" "Get in the car Sky." Jeff leaned over and told her. She listened and walked out of the house in tears. She walked across the street to Jeff's car and got into the passanger side. She waited for Jeff for about ten minetes that seemed like ten years. Finally the door opened and it was Matt. He stormed out and got into his car, and drove away quickly. Jeff walked out slowly and got in the car. Skyler wrapped her arms around him, "I'm sorry you had to go through that Jeff, I'm so sorry." Jeff put the key in and they drove to his house. They walked into Jeff's house and the answering machine just picked up. "Hey this is Jeff, Leave a message after the 'beeeeeeeeeeeeeep' "Jeff its dad, I called to just ask you what the hell happened to your brother? He just got home and he looks like a mess. He won't really sit down and talk to me, he yelled somethings about you and Skyler, But he was probably confused, we all know how you'd like to choke that girl and.." Jeff hit the machine off. And smiled at Skyler. They spent the night in each others arms. She felt so complete when she was with him.
The next few days Sky stayed at Jeff's house. Sunday they both left together to go to a raw and smackdown taping that Matt still didn't attend because of his shoulder. During the smackdown taping a few people saw Sky kiss Jeff for good luck. Jeff went out to perform as Skyler watched backstage n a monitor, and was pulled into a room by Paul. Paul played the character of Triple H. Sky and him weren't really friends, but they worked well on storylines together. "What the hell is wrong with you?" He questioned. "What?" she asked surprised with his concern. "You and Jeff?" He reminded her. "Oh well, It's kinda a long story, and there isn't really a short version." "Well, I'm just telling you to watch your back, because As soon as Matt gets back, This little tag team thing they've got going, it isn't gonna work. They aren't going to be able to look each other in the eye, how the hell are they gonna talk to each other, and communicate. And it's all gonna be because of you." After hearing Paul's words, Skyler packed her things and up near the monitor and went with the rest of the WwF writing staff. Jeff finishd his match and looked for her but he couldn't find her. She slept in a different hotel then he did, but called him on his cell late that night.
"Jeff, I can't be the one to do this. you need to work things out with your brother and not worry about you and me. He is what's important. I'm not gonna go running back to him. But I can't be with you either. I need to be by myself."
