Chapter 13

Jami slowly packed her stuff at the hotel later that day. The doctor had no reason to keep her, so she had pulled Stephanie's Diva character attitude and demanded she be released. Now she was going to fly back to North Carolina with her sister. Jeff, Tash, Edge, Matt, Lita, Stephanie and Sara were downstairs loading some of her stuff and Traci's stuff into the car.

It took all her strength not to cling to him for dear life. "I'm going to miss you. I love you so much." she whispered. Jeff pulled back, "I can still go with you." he told her. "No...you need to go back to work and I need time to adjust. This is what's best. I'll be back with you in a week, driving you crazy." Jami told him. Jeff nodded and kissed her. They they seperated.

Jeff grabbed her suitcase and Jami grabbed her purse, before they made their way down to the lobby. Stephanie and Sara were going to stay at the hotel while everyone else went to the airport. Jami hugged Stephanie and then Sara. "thank you both for being here for both me and Jeff. It means so much to have friends like you." Jami told them, blinking back tears. Both girls hugged Jami again before she turned and left the hotel.

"Here's our gate...the luggage has been checked. We've pottied, so now...we just have to wait to board." Traci told the group. Traci didn't look much like her sister. She had long blonde hair that was naturally more than one shade of blonde. She had big blue eyes. She was a few inches taller than her sister. She stood about 5'6" to Jami's 5'2". Traci was even thinner than Jami. She barely tipped the scales at 100 pounds. Her facial features were similiar enough that you could see the family resemblence. Traci and their brother Traci had taken after their dad in looks, while Jami was a replica of their mother. But once Traci opened her mouth you could tell she was Jami's sister. She appeared sweet at first, but had a quick temper on her. Even quicker than Jami's, if that was possible. She had the same sarcastic wit her older sister had. And the same crazy sense of humor. Their personalities were a close match. Traci often told people off more bluntly then Jami did.

Jeff watched now as Jami and Traci looked through a magazine rack for some stuff to read on the plane. Traci was definately one of Jami's best friends. Since he had to leave her alone, he was more relaxed about it knowing Traci would be there. He had even talked Traci into coming on circuit with them afterwards. Traci was a wonderful artist and the WWF was always looking for artists to work with costume designers and the stars with their apparel they sell. So, Linda had hired her. Jami had been relieved. It would help her to have her baby sister on the road with her.

Jami and Traci returned with a couple magazines each. Jeff looked through Jami's picks and found the WWF magazine, the RAW magazine and a Cosmo. He just shook his head at her in amusement. Then he looked through Traci's. She had some artsy magazine, then an issue of Vogue, and then a magazine about Chicago's Institute of Art. He grinned at her before she smacked him with her magazines.

"Well, they just announced first call for our flight, so I guess it's time for goodbyes." Jami told them, forcing herself to sound cheerful. Lita engulfed her in a hug. "Promise me you'll call? And are you sure I can't go with you...you stayed with me, I can return the favor." Lita offered. "No, that's okay. Thank you though. I'm going to miss you so much. And keep Matt in line." Jami gently kidded. As soon as Lita stepped back Jami was engulfed by Matt. "Hey baby girl. Please take care of yourself. Your my little sister too, remember...so I get to be the protective big brother...and if you need anything, call me. I'll be there as soon as I can. I love you baby girl." he told her and Jami really had to struggle to keep all but a few tears inside. She wiped those away before responding. "matt, your the big brother I never had and never wanted, but now I'm so glad I have one. I love you to Mattie." Matt kissed her forehead before moving away so Tasha could hug Jami. "I can't believe you are being this strong. I just want you to know that I'm proud of you. We all are. And I can't wait til you come back! I'm going to miss you." Tasha told her. "Tash, you've been a great friend to me and I have a feeling that you always will be. I'll miss you too...but you need to get back to normal. And you need to make sure Edge doesn't do anything stupid. I'll be back in a week." Jami said, hugging her again. Then Edge came up to her to get a hug. "Hey J.baby, are you sure you are going to be okay?" Edge asked. "yes, I'm sure. I'll miss you though E. Promise to be good?" Jami asked. "On my honor. I'll miss you J." then he kissed her forehead and those goodbyes were over.
