How Everything Changed (Book 4)

Chapter 68

*Time skip to that Wednesday; Jeff*

Me, Matt and Ryah came into the arena and the first thing we saw was Avril, Alexis and her crew smiling and laughing before Coby, Zack and Alexis took off. Avril turned around to see us just walking in. Matt walked up smiling at her and gave her a hug. When I tried to hug her, however, she pushed me back slightly.

"Don't," she told me, lifting a finger at me. Matt saw this and gave me an irritated look.

"Ah, Jeff, what the hell did you do now?" Matt asked. That was a seriously good question, Matthew.

"I dunno!" I said holding my hands up in the air in defense. I turned back to Avril. "What did I do?"

No response. Just a cross of the arms and a deathly look. If looks could kill, I would be 7 feet under right now.

"Avril, really, what did I do?" I asked again.

She said something, but she said it so quietly I barely heard it.

"What?" I told her. "Avril, speak up."
Matt must've heard it because he turned to me and said, "she said you hit Morgan and cheated on her." I was shocked, not about the cheating thing (which remember I didn't do!). I was shocked because she knew about me striking Morgan while I was with Ethan.

"You know exactly what you did," Avril said louder, "and you knew it was wrong." Ryah chose the wrong time to interject at this point.

"Avril, just chill out okay?" Ryah started. "Jeff d-"

"Ryah! Shut up!" she shouted at her, cutting her off. Me and Matt shared a shocked expression before Matt faced Avril again.

"Avril," Matt said, putting a hand on her shoulder. "Jeff didn't mean to hit Morgan, and Katy kissed him, but he didn't kiss back. It was all a huge misunderstanding." At least I didn't have to tell Avril about mine and Morgan's little confrontation after the Halloween preshow.

She glanced back at me. "Well, is that true?" Ryah, again, tried to interject.
"It's tr-" she started, but Avril cut her off again.

"Okay, now I'm starting to know why Morgan hates you. You talk when no one wants you to." She gave a shocked look to us, and I just shook my head before Avril spoke to me. "Answer the question," she demanded.

"I promise. I really didn't mean to hurt her," I told her sincerely.

She stood there before taking a deep breath and facing me. "Fine. But if you ever do it again, or if I found out that you were lying, I wont be that innocent girl you've come to know. To every angel, there is a demon. Remember that." And with that, she walked away.

A little later, TNA aired a promo that I had done while I was at home for a few days. In that promo I said that I was banned from the World Title Series, which in truth, I was. I wasn't banned from backstage. Dixie and them didn't say anything about that when they were kinda chastising me on the phone after their meeting. I mean, c'mon didn't EC3 deserve that chair shot and Twist of Fate? Yea, I think so.

I looked at Ryah at one point when I brought up my accident. I was saying that I was trying this out of my own volition and not that Ryah had challenged me for $50.

*Ryah*

I shut my eyes when Jeff started talking about his accident. I knew he was probably gonna say he did this to himself and I didn't cause it, probably because he didn't want me getting hated on even more. Why? I don't know. He was being nice in that promo and could've ratted me out live on TV, where Morgan could've heard it and she could've stabbed me with her daggers or something like that.
