How Everything Changed (Book 4)

Chapter 65

*Jeff*

"You did a really good job," I repeated as I took a step inside the Beautiful People's locker room. Both Madison and Velvet got up and stood in between me and Morgan, preventing me from walking any further. They both shared looks of distain on their face for what me and Matt did to Morgan, and to be honest, I don't blame them. I expected at least one of them to hit me, and I saw Velvet raise her hand to slap me, but Morgan stepped forward and grabbed her arm.

"Velvet, boo, let me handle this," she said looking towards me. Velvet gave her an, "Are you serious" look before sighing and lowering her hand. She looked towards Madison and the two sat down, still keeping a close eye on me. Morgan crossed her arms and stared at me.

"Go ahead," she said lowly. "I'm listening."

"Morgan," I said. "Look, I don't know about Matt, but I didn't mean to push you at all. Matt had me all riled up about how little your safety is to him when we are around those titles. We were screaming back and forth and I didn't see who was trying to get in between us until we pushed you. I'm so sorry..."

"Okay," she said walking up to me. "If you want, I can help you out by kicking Matt's ass. I did it once and I'm sure not afraid to do it again."

I wrapped my arms around her body and kissed her cheek softly. I looked back at Madison and Velvet, who was watching this with angry faces on them. I guess they weren't gonna be so forgiving as Morgan.

"Lets get out of here," I whispered to Morgan. "I think your girls might attack me if I stay in here any longer."

*Time skip; the following Monday; Jeff*

So today, I had a lot to do. I had to pick up my daughter from Beth's place and grab some stuff for her birthday party that we were having later today. Now, I know Matt will be there, but really, even though I was mad at Matt for shoving Morgan last week, I wasn't gonna be the type of person that was gonna deny Ruby's own uncle from being at the party. That would be wrong of me.

Now, due to Ruby not being around, she doesn't really know whats been going on for the last few months. In truth, the first thing she asked me when I picked her up was, "Where's Katy?" I didn't have the heart to tell her what really happened between her, Morgan and I. I mean, how do you tell your 4--well, I guess 5 year olds now--daughter that I had gotten kidnapped by her and taken to Texas, and was killed?

So it was to my shock and surprise when halfway through the party, Matt had opened up the door and in stepped Katy, looking like she never had died in the first place. In fact, it looked like she had never even gone crazy in the first place. It was probably a front because she didn't want to make a scene in front of Ruby, who again, didn't know anything.

Speak of, she ran over and tackled Katy, who responded by falling over laughing and hugging her. When all that was done, she got up and looked over at me.

"Well," she said walking over to me. "Hello, again Jeff. Can we talk outside?"

"No," I said. I wasn't about to let this bitch get in my head again. "Just leave. Don't do this now, not now."

"Jeff," she said, touching my arm. I yanked it back as if she badly burned it. "I see you're standing on your own. About time too."

"Yea," I said backing up. "I got somewhat better. Whats it to you though? I thought you wanted me dead."

Reby came and took everyone out of the room so that they didn't have to hear this conversation. "I did Jeff," she said running her finger down my chest. "I wanted you dead so badly for what happened between us."

I shut my eyes as the memory of that day flashed in my mind...

*Flashback*

"Jeff!" I turned around and my eyes widened in fear as Katy freaking Hemmons ran up to me. I started going faster down the hall and she caught up to me at the elevator.

"Wow, you're getting better at those things," she said sweetly. I rolled my eyes and frantically pushed the elevator down button over and over.

"Are you in a hurry or something?" Katy said, touching my hand that was pushing the button. I jerked away from her and I contemplated yelling for someone to help me. When the elevator opened, I saw Khoya and I raised an eyebrow.

"What dude, you want something or—" I didn't get a chance to finish my sentence because Khoya grabbed me and dragged me inside the elevator. Katy followed him inside and the door closed. Katy grabbed me and shoved me up against the wall, kissing me roughly. I tried to shove her back, but she held my arms above my head.

"What the hell are you doing out of jail, you physcotic bitch?" I said once she let me go and I slid to the floor. Katy hit the emergency stop button on the elevator and I suddenly grew nervous. She sat down next to me and Khoya kept my hands above my head so I couldn't slap her. I know she was a woman, but dammit she deserved it.

"Oh, my poor baby's had his heart broken one too many times by that little girl. Let's face it, she's not happy with you." She said cupping my face. "Like I am." She kissed me again and when she parted away from me, I spat in her eye. I guess Khoya didn't like that because he punched the other side of my face that wasn't bruised. He kept on beating me as Katy hit the emergency stop button again to make the elevator go again. The last thing I remember was Khoya and Katy leaving me in the elevator when I lost consciousness.

*Flashback over*

"Hello!" Katy yelled and I stepped out of my trance. I saw she had a loving smile on her face. "Jeff...I've tried to tell myself no...but I cant help it...I'm in love with you..."

Here we go again...
