Vanessa's POV:
As the bus continues its journey, I fall asleep on the bed inside the master bedroom. An hour later, hands start rubbing my shoulder I wake up and see a worried Jeff. I look at the clock at it reads 12:21 AM. I look worried but I know the withdrawal process is a hard one. I noticed Jeff was cold. I grabbed my Glee blanket and wrapped it around the extreme Hardy. I go back to my bed only to find Jeff shivering on the other side. I rest my head on his chest. I feel a hand going through my slightly messy hair. As i'm moving to find a position that's comfortable, Jeff wakes up and notices me tossing and turning. I get pulled closer and I fall back asleep.
Jeff's POV:
I feel Vanessa's breath getting heavy. I look at the clock and it reads 1:11 AM I feel a small whimper and then some crying. I flick on the light. Usually that works I think to myself. I text Matt.
Text Conversation:
Matt, you awake?
Jeff, I am now. Are you okay?
I'm fine :D
Phew! Why did you text me?
Vanessa is having a really bad dream and idk what to do.
Aw that stinks. Try singing her favorite song.
What's the band?
Journey.
Okay thanks bro sleep tight.
You too. <3
I think of a Journey song to sing and I find one and I sing it softly.
Highway run
Into the midnight sun
Wheels go round and round
You're on my mind
Restless hearts
Sleep alone tonight
Sending all my love
Along the wire
They say that the road
Ain't no place to start a family
Right down the line
It's been you and me
And lovin' a music man
Ain't always what it's supposed to be
Oh, girl, you stand by me
I'm forever yours
Faithfully
Circus life
Under the big top world
We all need the clowns
To make us smile
Through space and time
Always another show
Wondering where I am
Lost without you
And being apart
Ain't easy on this love affair
Two strangers learn to fall in love again
I get the joy of rediscovering you
Oh, girl, you stand by me
I'm forever yours
Faithfully
Whooa, oh-oh-ooh
Whooa, oh-oh-ooh, oh
Whooa, oh-oh-oh, oh-whoooooa-oh
Faithfully
I'm still yours
I'm forever yours
Ever yours
Faithfully
I'm looking into her tear filled eyes.
Vanessa's POV:
I look at Jeff with a stream of tears going down my face. I realize i'm still on my bus. I get carried bridal style to the couch and Jeff wraps a blanket around us. I calm down and tell Jeff about my night mare. We sit in silence. How could I not see the beauty in Jeff? I think to myself. The bus pulls up to the house and Jeff and I get off. He noticed John, Zack, Dean, Seth and Roman left. We get inside the house and I look at my hair. It's messy but Jeff told me he likes it that way. I giggle and set up the couch for a movie night. As Jeff looks at me, his heart starts racing. I look at him worried. We're watching The Lucky One. Jeff looks at me and he text messages Lita.
Text conversation:
Lita, you were right. I have a huge crush on Vanessa.
Jeff, you're a great guy and a crush will go away.
How?
You have to do this on your own.
Thanks for trying. :)
You're welcome :)
Jeff's POV:
I look at the sleeping diva and I carry her bridal style to the guest bed room. I set the sleeping diva on the left side of the bed. As I go to the right side of the bed, I feel a hand on my chest my heart beats faster. I fall asleep. The next day, I wake up and i'm feeling hot.
Vanessa's POV:
I see Jeff on the grass thinking about his life. I'm looking out the window and my thoughts get interrupted by a message.
Text conversation:
Hey Vanessa, it's Matt is Jeff okay?
Hey Matt, Jeff is fine. How are you?
Okay. I'm missing my brother so much.
I know how you're feeling. Not a day goes by that i'm not missing my brother and sister.
Wow! :o
You didn't know I have two siblings?
Nope.
Lol. I have to get ready for a huge red carpet event with the cast of Total Divas.
I'm showing up to that event. Dk if i'll be walking the red carpet though. But if i'm walking the carpet may I walk it with you?
I'm actually walking the carpet with your brother but i'll call somebody and text you the details. :)
Okay. Ttyl.
Ttyl.
Dean's POV:
I'm at the gym with Roman and Seth. It's crazy how the woman I plan to spend the rest of my life with is helping out a Hardy. I leave a note for Roman and Seth. I leave the gym jealous. I head to a studio and record a song.
I don't like the way he's looking at you
I'm starting to think you want him too
Am I crazy, have I lost ya?
Even though I know you love me, can't help it
I turn my chin music up
And I'm puffing my chest
I'm getting red in the face
You can call me obsessed
It's not your fault that they hover
I mean no disrespect
It's my right to be hellish
I still get jealous
'Cause you're too sexy, beautiful
And everybody wants to taste
That's why that's why
I still get jealous
'Cause you're too sexy, beautiful
And everybody wants to taste
That's why that's why
I still get jealous
I wish you didn't have to post it out
I wish you'd save a little bit just for me
Protective or possessive, yeah
Call it passive or aggressive
I turn my chin music up
And I'm puffing my chest
I'm getting red in the face
You can call me obsessed
It's not your fault that they hover
I mean no disrespect
It's my right to be hellish
I still get jealous
'Cause you're too sexy, beautiful
And everybody wants to taste
That's why that's why
I still get jealous
'Cause you're too sexy, beautiful
And everybody wants to taste
That's why that's why
I still get jealous
You're the only one invited
I said there's no one else for you
'Cause you know I get excited, yeah
When you get jealous too
I turn my chin music up
And I'm puffing my chest
I'm turning red in the face
You can call me obsessed
It's not your fault that they hover
I mean no disrespect
It's my right to be hellish
I still get jealous
'Cause you're too sexy, beautiful
And everybody wants to taste
That's why that's why
I still get jealous
'Cause you're too sexy, beautiful
And everybody wants to taste
That's why that's why
I still get jealous
Oh that's why
I still get jealous
Oh that's why
I still get jealous
I save the song and I leave.
Vanessa's POV:
I'm getting ready for an event when I see Jeff strumming a six string. I hear a song.
I can feel you comin' from a mile away
My pulse starts racing from the words that you say
And you say so many of them like you don't have a clue
That I'm signed, sealed delivered with a stamp on
You don't have to try too hard
You already have my heart
You don't got a thing to prove
I'm already into you
So
Hold, Hold, Hold, hold me tight now
Cause I'm so, so good to go
Don't say Don't say good night you know
You had me at hello
You had me at hello
You had me at hello
Don't say Don't say good night you know
You had me at hello
I sing the next verse
Close your mouth now baby don't say a word
Cause you ain't saying nothing
I ain't already heard
Plus all them words get buried when the beats so loud
And the speakers blowin' up to this dance song
You don't have to try too hard
You already have my heart
You don't got a thing to prove
I'm already into you
So
Hold, Hold, Hold, hold me tight now
Cause I'm so, so good to go
Don't say Don't say good night you know
You had me at hello
You had me at hello
You had me at hello
Don't say Don't say good night you know
You had me at hello
We finish the song
Oooooh Ooooh ooh ooh
Oooooh Ooooh ooh ooh
Oooooh Ooooh ooh ooh
Oooooh Ooooh ooh ooh
Oooooh Ooooh ooh ooh
So
Hold, hold, hold, hold me tight now
I'm so, so good to go
Don't say Don't say good night you know
You had me at hello
You had me at hello
You had me at hello
Don't say Don't say good night you know
You had me at hello
As the song ends, I get a call from John saying Dean is feeling glum. I look at Jeff and he saves our song.
