How Everything Changed (Book 4)

Chapter 28

*PJ*

After Ryah made that oh-so-great announcement, Morgan looked at Ryah and then to me. She looked sad and confused at the same time, as was I. I didn't know what the hell Ryah was thinking by saying that we were together. Morgan smiled at both of us, sighed, and walked out the door. I turned to Ryah, who looked a little guilty about what she did.

"Ryah, what the hell? You know that I have feelings for Morgan!" I said, and Ryah put her hand over my mouth.

"PJ, lemme give you a lesson about how men fall in love with Morgan," Ryah told me. "Her thing with Jeff had been on and off for the last year and in between, she gets with guys who either break her heart or they remain friends."

"I so don't believe you, I know about what you also did to Jeff Hardy," he said. "It's talk all over the world that you raped him." There was a blush on her cheeks at that comment. I even saw her eyes tear up.

"She will never, ever know how sorry I am for that. I wasn't well, I was crazy, and I hurt one of the best friends that I have ever had, and lost respect for Morgan at the same time. This is why I had to do what I did just now. Morgan will never forgive me, ever. That's why its easier for her to be my enemy then my friend. I wish she wasn't, I wish we were friends, but we're never going to be friends again." I suddenly felt bad for judging her like I did, and I had to give her some hope.

I looked at her before shaking my head. "Ryah, you never know unless you tr--"

"PJ, I have tried!" she yelled over me. "I have tried so hard to make her my friend again, but it was in vain. The second I was even close to something like that, I screwed up by getting her fired from the job that she loved. And I didn't even mean to get her fired! She was just too damn stubborn to listen to me or Dixie!" She collapsed in my arms and I hugged her tightly as sobs racked her body.

"Shh," I said. "Don't cry now, it'll ruin your image."  I held her up and looked her in the eye. "Listen, whatever you did in TNA, that was in the past, because I know you wouldn't do that under normal circumstances." I gave her a friendly peck on the forehead before leaving her alone in the room.
