Right In Front Of You

Chapter 30 - You Did More than you Think

The Couple Days Later;
Saturday; Raleigh; North Carolina;
Shannon's POV;

Since I had been staying at the girls house, to ensure that they were all safe while Jeff and Matt were out of town, I hadn't needed to take my car to the airport where I had flown out to Georgia. Heather had dropped me off and Barry was picking me up.

The thought of seeing Heather had the butterflies in my stomach setting off again, fluttering madly until I was left feeling sick and more nervous than I had been over a girl in the longest time.

I knew that we were growing closer and closer with every passing day, our relationship was slowly building towards something more special than I had ever thought possible. Before Heather, there had been Jane; I had thought for sure that we were meant to be, we had met through a friend of mine who owned a gym in town, we had clicked from the minute that our eyes had landed on one another.

I had made the mistake of jumping straight in to bed with her, which at the time felt like the right thing to do, the passion between us had just been too strong to ignore and fight. From then on we were together all the time, we were tighter than two people should be, she was always with me, whenever I hung out with my friends she was by my side, when I went to work in my shop she was there and whenever I had to go on the road she was more often than not, there with me.

We had done everything together, and it came the running joke with my friends that we were joined at the hip. I knew that they hadn't liked her but for me they made the effort and that was why they were my best friends. Then after I had left the WWE; the problems started.

Jane wasn't satisfied with the fact that we weren't always in the limelight, she complained about being at the shop all the time, she complained that we hardly saw Jeff and Matt anymore and she complained about the fact that I was spending more time with my Family.

The changes in her were subtle, she started flirting shamelessly with anyone in distance, whether I was around or not and then she started making eyes at Jeff, she thought that I hadn't seen it but I was always watching her because she had been making my life miserable, it was all I could do because for someone to be that unhappy, there had to be something going on.

I watched the way she batted her eyes at him, I watched the way she laughed at pretty much anything he said and I watched the sly little touches she placed on his arm, all of it bothered me but I knew Jeff, he wasn't even aware of her making doe eyes at him. It wasn't that he was dense; it was just that he had always had the mentality that once a girl was with either Matt or I; that meant she was completely off the radar. It had been a pact that we had made when we were younger and it had proved helpful over the years.

Then one day, Jane had apparently offered herself to Jeff on a silver platter, I hadn't needed to ask if he had taken her up on the offer because I knew my best friend well enough to know that it was simply a no go area and I knew that he wouldn't lie about something like that so I had called her and ended our relationship without giving her the chance to talk her way out of it.

In all honesty; what could she have said?

Absolutely nothing, she had tore our relationship to pieces by herself, she had picked and picked, she had stepped over the mark and tried to come in between friends and for me there was nothing less attractive than a woman who tried to cause arguements.

I don't know why I hadn't told Heather about it yet, my best reasoning was that I didn't want her to know about the hell that I had gone through because I had sunk lower than I had thought it was possible to sink after Jane. I had used women for my own needs and had been convinced that they were all the same.
