Friend Or Foe: Chapter 28 Unfair, Dramatic & Selfish
Vio's POV
Later that night, I was shocked to find out that at WrestleMania 25 it was to be Matt Hardy vs. Jeff Hardy. What kind of sick people are the creative team? Don't they realize by doing this they are destroying a family. A family that is so tight knit that we know each other like the back of our own hands. But it didn't matter. My family could be screwed with and fucked with, and nobody cared.
I was in my locker room, alone. I had yelled at Shane and told him to leave after the announcement was made. He had just been trying to comfort me but I didn't want to be comforted. I didn't want Shane to be soft and gentle with me. I wanted so much more from him. But I just couldn't take any of it. I'm a giving person, not a selfish one. But for some damn reason I can never give Shane what he wants; me.
But I gave Matt what he wanted. I gave John what he wanted. I always did what Damien wanted. Why couldn't I do what I really wanted? The answer; I was afraid. Not afraid that Shane would reject me, because he wouldn't, but that it could ruin our friendship. And if we did start dating, i'm worried that our relationship would be different and that we couldn't incorporate our friendship into it. We'd just be a couple, dating, not friends too.
And I couldn't loose Shane as my friend. But I keep pushing him away, testing him. I wanna see if he'll really walk away, and stop being my friend. To see if he'll crack, loose his self control, and have his way with me. I'd let him, there's no doubt in my mind about it. I just don't want to make the first move. He needs to, for the sake of both of us.
But right now, I needed to talk to Jeff. I left my locker room and headed toward Jeff's. I smirked when I heard yelling coming from his room. Carmi had gotten to him first. Oh well, I shrugged it off and opened the door to the locker room. Carmi didn't even stutter in her yelling when the door opened and I walked in. She smirked, actually, and continued. Shane, Ron, Jimmy, and Jomo were all in there as well.
Jeff looked at me for help. I rolled my eyes at him. “Tell me when you're done Carmi, I want a crack at him too,” I told her and she nodded. She stopped yelling, “Ya know, Vio is scarier than me when it comes to yelling at you. So I'll let her take care of it, I'm gonna watch.” she said, looking over at me. I nodded, took a breath, then began.
“What the fuck were you thinking Jeff?” I said, narrowing my eyes at him. He sighed and looked away. “I just got tired of him taunting me, us,” he said. I crossed my arms over my chest, “horrible reason,” I muttered. Now Jeff narrowed his eyes at me, “excuse me? That's my brother, it's not like I haven't fought him before.” I cocked an eyebrow, “well, it's not like I haven't either. And you went out there alone! He could have seriously hurt you!” though I really doubted that, I wasn't totally sure. “Yeah, well, you don't listen to us when we tell you the same thing. So why should I listen to you when you're telling me!” he shot back.
I flinched slightly but rebounded quickly, “you know what Jeff. I talked to Matt today. He apologized for everything he's done. He feels horrible about it all! And I'm tired of our family being torn apart. I can't stand it! I want it to go back to normal. Go fucking apologize to Matt and get this family functioning again. I'm tired of trying to hold us, and myself together. I can't do it anymore! I'm just fucking human you guys!”
I took a quick breath before continuing. “The only thing that's fucking stable right now is Carmi and John's relationship! Don't you think I want that, but because of our fucked up family,” my glare seared over Shane, “I can't even really love John! It's not fucking fair. I can't take anymore of this bullshit!”
And with that I turned and headed toward the door. I opened it and stopped, “I'm going home. And please, just leave me the hell alone. And Jeff,” I paused and knew he was looking at me. “I won't be in anbody's corner, or on anybody's side at WrestleMania. From this moment on, I am indifferent to this situation.” and I left.
Shane's POV
It took all of my self control not to run after her. To comfort her. It was so natural, whenever I saw her cry I wanted to make her feel better.
Carmi was standing with her hands on her hips in the middle of the room. She was glaring from me to Jeff. “Great, just great! Jeff, look what you did to Vio! Now she doesn't even want to be a part of this family! She is fucking ashamed of us!” there was so much venom and anger in that word that I even flinched, and she wasn't even talking to me.
Carmi looked at me, “and leave her the hell alone Shane. I thought you'd have taken the hint by now,” I saw how much it hurt her to tell me that. She knew I was good for Vio, but Vio didn't see it like that. And Carmi just wanted Tabby to be happy.
John stood up and looked at Carmi pointedly, she backed down. “Jeff, call John. Tell him to go to Cameron and visit Vio tomorrow. Shane, call Shannon, let him know she's going home,” then he wrapped an arm around my sister and led her out of the room. Ron and Jimmy both stood, shaking their heads, and left.
“So, are they really okay?” Jeff asked me, referring to Vio and his brother. I nodded, “i guess, they were totally normal to each other earlier. He actually acknowledged me,” I told Jeff what I knew. He nodded slowly then pulled out his phone. “I guess we do what John said,” Jeff said with a shrug. I nodded in agreement and pulled out my phone.
I ignored Jeff's conversation with John and waited for Shannon to pick up. “Hey Shane.” “Shan. Vio's flying to Cameron. Can you go pick her up?” “Um...yeah, but why are you telling me?” “She's pissed at us, John told me to call you and let you know.” “Which John?” Of course she had told Shannon about John. “Carmi's John.” “Oh, okay. Does Vio's John know?” “Jeff's talking to him right now.” I looked at Jeff questioningly, he nodded, “And John should be heading up there tomorrow.” “Vio's John?” “Yes.” “Alright.” “And Shan.” “Yeah?” “Take care of her.”
“You know I'd never let something happen to her. You're not the only one that cares about her.” and then he hung up. I could tell her was slightly hurt now. Great, just great Shane. You pissing off and hurting all of your friends, your family. I leaned my elbows on my knees and held my head in my hands. I let out a breath. I fucked up, big time. But really, what did I actually do? Did I fuck up by just falling in love with Violet? That's the only reason I can think of.
Jeff let our a loud sigh and I looked up at him. He was facing the wall with his arm across his forehead and pressed up against he wall. His other arm hung at his side, holding his phone limply. “I shouldn't have said that,” he muttered. “And now I think I shouldn't have fallen in love with her,” I told him. He looked over at me, right now we were in the same boat.
Violet was upset with both of us.
Shannon's POV
About ten minutes after I got off the phone with Shane Violet called. I figured they weren't talking so I made it sound as if I had no clue she was coming. “Shannon.” I could tell she was crying, hard. “Mama Bugga Bugga, what's wrong?” “Everything. I'm so confused, I'm coming home. I just got to the airport, I'll be there in a few hours.” “Okay, you need me to pick you up?” “Yeah, Shan, that would be good.” “I'll be there.” “Thanks. I've got to go. Bye.” “Bye.” I mumbled.
I was sitting in Vio's house. Bella came padding over to me and nuzzled my hand. “Hey baby girl. Guess who's coming home?” Bella's eyes brightened with emotion like all dog's eyes did. I smiled sadly, “Mama's coming home early. She's getting too stressed out.” I told the dog, rubbign her head. She licked my hand and then got up and trotted away.
I sighed as I watched her push open the back door and run outside. “Smartass dog,” I muttered, shaking my head. My phone started ringing again. I sighed then answered it, not bothering with check the caller ID. “Hello.” I answered unenthusiastically. “I'm guessing you talked to both Shane and Violet.” Carmi. “Yeah, I have.” “Is she coming home for real?” “Yes. She was at the airport when she called.” “Oh, okay. I thought she was exaggerating. Guess not.” “Vio doesn't exaggerate when she's hurt.” I said blankly.
“Shannon, I didn't do anything. Don't be so cold.” she snapped. “Well maybe you should watch out more for her. This isn't easy on her.” “Yeah, well. It's not easy on any of us. She should just stop being such a drama queen and get the fuck over all of it.” “That's unfair Carmi. If you were in her position you'd be reacting the same way.” “Shannon we're all in the same fucking position. She's just slept with Matt and the rest of us haven't.” I gasped. “CARMI! What the fuck are you saying. You're talking about Violet. The one who always protects you, who protects all of us. The one who holds this fucking family together. Now I see why she does and you don't. You don't understand the meaning of family.”
“Well, go be with John. I don't wanna see you here while Vio's around. Tell Shane the same thing cause i'm not happy with him either. And I think it's best if Jeff isn't here either. Just leave Vio alone. She doesn't need any of your bitchy attitude around!” and I slammed the phone shut, not even wanting to hear her answer. Selfish bitch!
