Chapter 7

"Jeff? How can you be in here when you know that Leah is ripping Chloe's
head off right now? I know you and Chloe have never got along but Jeff, you
can't let your girlfriend kill her!" Amy said angrily knowing why Jeff was
in the change room.

"She started it. Chloe shouldn't have been running around in little clothes
if she didn't want this to happen." Jeff said crossing his arms.

"What?" Amy asked, not believing her ears. "Did you just blame Chloe for
wearing what she was demanded to wear while she was practising to be
graceful? You jerk!"

"Leah was right, wasn't she? She said you, Chloe and Desiree would turn your
backs on her and stab her in the back! She said you hated her and she was
only in there so you looked good."

"She said that?" Amy asked.

Jeff laughed. "It isn't half obvious. She was the group! She was everything
anyone wanted from it!" Jeff said still laughing.

"Excuse me Jeffrey!" Amy said and Jeff became furious that she called him
Jeffrey. "We were friends because we had things in common! She didn't bring
everything to the group! People might like her as well but we are all female
wrestlers, there are guys out there that adore us!"

"She is all you ever wanted to be. Stop living in denial Amy, you aren't
her."

"If she did this to you, than I wouldn't want to be her!" Amy said standing
up. "What is wrong Jeff? Finally realise you like Chloe? Finally realise you
have been dating women you knew weren't right for you when you flirted with
someone that just might be. She isn't anymore Jeff. She might be an arsehole
to you, but at least she isn't an arsehole to the world!" Amy said leaving
the room in a huff and slammed to door to show how angry she really was.

Steph sat down next to Chloe and sighed, wanting Chloe to ask what was
wrong. "How are you Chloe?" She asked, knowing Chloe wasn't going to ask her
because she seemed to be thinking very hard.

"Crap." Chloe said going back into her little world.

"So am I." Steph said sadly. "Christian didn't hear me when I said I loved
him."

"Desiree basically told Jeff I love him and it isn't even true." Chloe said
and that caught Steph's attention. Everyone knew how much Chloe liked him.
"I don't even like him, even as a friend and now I have heard Leah is on a
rampage and I am on the top of the list."

"But did you hear me? I said I loved Chris and he didn't hear me."

"No, he didn't understand you because no one can when you are crying
uncontrollably. Don't worry, he will find out soon enough and Leah will find
me soon enough."

"Of course she will! You are sitting in the main hallway."

"Leah never looks in the most obvious places. I came here then heard Desiree
is at WWF New York. I am so dead."

"You didn't do anything so why does she want to kill you?"

"Like I said, Desiree basically said that I love Jeff and then he couldn't
fuck her or something so they just kissed all night and she knew he was
going to have sex with her. I don't see her problem, he did say he loves
her. She said I was the one making him have second thoughts and that I am
always flirting with him. God she can be ignorant."

"Sounds like someone I know."

"Is Christian ignorant?"

"No! You!"

"So I live up to the family name! Big deal!"

"You live so far up the name, you are the name!"

"Why does everyone hate me? Everyone is different today! Leah wants to kill
me, Jeff just smiles at me, you are picking on me, Amy is really moody and
Uncle Vince isn't talking to me!"

"Ever thought it is just you?" Steph said getting up and leaving.

Chloe wiped away another tear. She had been crying since she found out about
Leah hating her. She just couldn't help it. One little comment that she
didn't like would bring her to tears. She just couldn't handle it there
anymore. She thought she had the job she wanted, and she did but the people
that were involved kind of well sucked when it came to her. Desiree, Amy and
Matt seemed to be the only people that have been behind her the whole way.
Even her Uncle Vince didn't seem to want anything to do with her. She was
shattered.

Chloe stood up and walked down the hallway, not caring if Leah did see her,
but as she walked, she heard someone call her name, in the strong southern
accent that they had. First she didn't want to turn around, but after the
screaming her name became louder, she had no choice. She turned around,
wanting to see Matt, but came face to face with Jeff. "What?" She asked.
"Stop smiling at me! The last thing I need is too see the man that has
ruined my life, smiling at me."

"Ruined your life? How did I do that? I wasn't the one flirting with my best
friend's boyfriend. You know Leah and I are dating."

"So you two are still together, nice to see." Chloe said sarcastically. "And
I wasn't flirting with you Jeff. People think I am in love with you but the
fact is I just want a guy so everyone thinks I want you. It isn't true.
Don't listen to them." She said turning to walk away again.

"But Des, she said.."

"She lied Jeff. I don't like you, I don't love you, to be truthful, I hate
you right now!" Chloe said walking off once again and once she turned the
corner, tears flooded her eyes, blurring her vision when she ran into a
woman she knew was Leah.

"Want to make this short or long?" She asked.

"How about not at all?" Chloe asked wiping tears from her eyes.

"Why did you do this too me Chloe? We were best friends!"

"I just told your boyfriend, why don't you ask him?" Chloe said about to
walk off but Leah grabbed her arm and dragged her along behind her as Leah
searched for Jeff.

"Let go of her arm." Jeff said as he saw Leah. "Come on Lee, you know she
didn't do anything."

"Why are you on her side? She continually picks on you." Leah asked, knowing
her life with Jeff hadn't been going as smoothly as they had both wanted.

"So." Jeff said taking Leah's hand off Chloe. "She didn't do anything.
Rumours did so leave her alone." He said angrily to Leah, seeing she didn't
do what he had said.

"Why don't you say please Jeff? You do to everyone else."

"That's because no one else man handles someone like you are."

"I'm not man handling. Do you really want me too because trust me Jeff, I
can."

"I know. Just please Leah, let her go. I know you have been angry recently
and you have every right to be, after all, your best friends stuck knives in
your back when you weren't looking." Jeff said seeing Chloe's mouth drop
open in shock of his words. "But come on baby, let her go."

"Fine." Leah said and Jeff smiled, leaning in and giving her a quick kiss.

"I love you baby." Jeff said taking Leah in his arms.

Leah smiled and kissed him.

Chloe looked on, completely shocked. Their moods had changed so rapidly that
it left an unchanged shocked look on Chloe's face. She rubbed her arm to
make the blood flow through her arm once again where Leah's grasp had left a
mark. She glanced at the two lovers as they began to slowly kiss then
suddenly; Chloe's heart ached. She rubbed her face with the palm of her
hands and briskly walked away before her heart began to ache again. She
pushed her way passed people just to get in the refreshing air of outside.
She needed to get away from them. She needed to get over Jeff.
