I woke up to see that Morgan had left earlier that morning. I sent her a text saying I went to the gym for a workout while she cleared her head. Let's just say, I was very concerned about her. Ever since Jeff told her off on Monday, Morgan looked like her whole world was crashing down around her. Even Brooke and Gail, who I thought were her best friends, turned on her. The thought of her being so down made me push through my workout even harder. It made me want to punch a hole in Jeff's head. And, call me a wuss, but it made me want to hit Gail and Brooke.

After my workout, I came back, showered, and threw on my clothes. By the time that I got my shirt on, Morgan came back into the room, looking very tired and upset. I said nothing and walked over to her.

"Hey, baby," I said as I kissed her cheek. She returned the gesture with a small, yet sad nervous and sad, smile. I was a little concerned because when I kissed her cheek, she felt a little warm. "Are you feeling okay? You're a little warm." I said feeling her forehead. As I was feeling around, she was getting warmer.

"Yea, I-I'm just gonna go take a shower." With that, she quickly went into the bathroom.

I frowned. It was certainly unnatural of Morgan to keep to herself...again, at least from what I know. There were two possible reasons for what's happening to Morgan: 1) she was getting sick, which with a little TLC, I could take care of, or speaking of TLC, 2) this was the work of the younger Hardy.

After almost an hour, Morgan came out in a robe and slippers. I could tell how tired she was and right now, she just needed to know that I was there for her. She collapsed in my arms and snuggled into me.

"Morgan, you know I love you right?" I asked wrapping an arm around her and rubbing her cheek lightly. She nodded slightly. "And, you do know that whatever Jeff said to you wasn't true. You are not a slut and a whore. If anything, I'd be saying that about Jeff in a heartbeat."

"I've had a lot of guys within the last year, himself included. I just feel that he's right..."

I sat up, pulling her with me. "You are wrong, and he is wrong. That doesn't make you a slut okay?!" I said shaking her slightly. She roughly pulled out of my grasp and grabbed some clothes. "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to find someone...I'll be out for a while." And with that, she walked out.

*Lola*

I sat down on the bench in a park, with a drawing pad and colored pencils. You see I come here every Friday and sit down in the park, any park, and draw really anything that comes to mind, whether it be birds, flowers, or two people walking down the street. I was so focused in my drawing that I didn't feel the tap on my shoulder. When I looked up, I once again saw that girl that had been on my mind for the last few days.

"About the offer...yes, but how about instead of coffee...how about we have some alcohol?"

"It's the middle of the day, are you sure?"

"Yea, I just..." she paused to rub her head with her hand. "need something to help me relax."

"Okay then!" I said popping up off the bench. "But, if we're going to do this, I am going to need to know your name."

"Morgan...Morgan Davis."

"Well, Morgan Davis, as I told you before, my name is Lola Matthews, just so you know, so you don't think a total stranger is asking you to drink with them in the middle of the day."

We went to the bar and drank; Morgan drank more than me...way more. I was really concerned about her now. She about 3 drinks and was working on her fourth when a guy with dark tealish hair walked up. The guy had tattoos down his right arm and had a dark look on his face. A guy behind him had a suit and tie on and a title on over his shoulder. That same guy had a geeky face that only a mother could love.

"Hey, there's my ex girlfriend, the slut." Morgan looked back at her drink and shook her head.

"Jeff, leave me the hell alone before I go to the cops and have you arrested." She went to get up but the other guy grabbed her by the arm and shook her roughly.

"You do NOT talk to him like that!" he shouted in her face. That's when I got up and grabbed him by the arm.

"Why don't you two assholes get the hell out of here?!" I said before grabbing a beer bottle and pushing Morgan back in her seat gently so that way she wouldn't be affected by what I was about to do. I smashed the beer bottle over the geeky looking guy's head and he fell with a thud. The other guy backed up, putting his hands in the air.

"Don't hurt me; I'm injured!" he said when I looked at him, a deadly look in my eye.

"Don't care bitch; get out before you get a beer bottle where the sun don't shine." He walked quickly out with Geek Guy following. I then looked over at Morgan who had a shameful look on her face.

"I-I'm sorry..." she said trying to get up, but I wouldn't let her.

"No, don't worry about it," I said. "I dealt with assholes like this before, it's really no deal. Who were they."

"I'm not really comfortable talking about it, I'm sorry..." she pushed past me and left the bar.

It was now Saturday and I still haven't heard word from Morgan. She had a match with Maddi and Angelina vs the DollHoes, and they had to go over the match with her! She was choosing the worst possible time to be late!

Morgan came in and she looked like she had little to no sleep. Madison and Angelina noticed that too, but knew better than to question her about it. So, they started talking to her about the match and what they were gonna do to win.

When it came time for the match, they did the Beautiful People's entrance (For the entrance, look at the media; there's only 2 of them but if you've seen them before maybe 2010 you'd know what I'd mean).

The DollHoes did their entrance and the match began. Rebel and Morgan locked up for a few minutes before Morgan kicked her in the stomach and DDT'ed her immediately.  She kicked and punched her before tagging Madison in. She tried to pin her but Jade and Marti attacked her. After about 20 minutes of them fighting outside of the ring, Morgan grabbed Rebel and screamed before SunSet flipping her for the win.

We celebrated for the win until Ethan Carter's theme started up. This honestly felt oddly familiar and it chilled me to the core...Jeff, Ethan and Tyrus came out...Ethan had Jeff on a leash and it all came back to me.

Memories of last year came right back to me, James Storm having Jeff on a leash...although last year, Jeff didn't call Morgan a slut before this even happened. This still scared me badly and I'm sure it scared everyone around here...
