A Surprise Gone South

Candice Michelle was beaming as she walked through the backstage area of SmackDown. She had gotten the night off from RAW's house show and instead of going home, she'd gone to SD to surprise her boyfriend, Jeff Hardy. She had missed him like crazy the last couple of days, their schedules being so hectic, and now she'd get to spend some time with him.

Dressed casually in jeans, black knee high boots and a black lacy tank top, she headed towards the locker room area, hoping to find Jeff there.

Little did she know what she was about to walk into.

Jeff was in the locker room relaxing. He had just gotten out of the shower so he was in the process of getting dressed. He had just pulled his pants on, but the fly wasn't buckled yet. As he kept towelling off his hair, he heard a knock at the door. "come in!" he called. He looked up. It was a woman...or more commonly known as a ring rat, judging by how she was dressed.

"Hey there...you're Jeff Hardy, right?" she asked, playing with her hair.

"Yes...can I help you?" he asked a bit confused.

"Actually, I was hoping to help you..." she said going right up to him, not giving him a chance to fix his pants.

"Listen...I'm flattered and all, but I have a girlfriend who I'm very much in love with." he said, trying to push her off.

"Come on...what she doesn't know won't hurt her..." she said, moving right up on him.

Unfortunately, Candice chose that precise moment to walk into Jeff's locker room. Her eyes widened as she took in the scene before her.

Jeff had some tramp practically on top of him with his pants undone.

"Candice!" he said, totally surprised. "Oh god...Candice, this isn't what you think." he said when he realized what it looked like.

"So...is this her? No wonder he needs my help..." she spat, her perfectly manicured nails touching him.

"Stop it!" he said, grabbing her arms and pushing her away as gently as possible.

Candice's vision blurred with tears. "Jeff, how could you?!"

"Candice!" he called out to her as he fixed his pants before he fell over.

"candice, please...listen to me! I would never do that to you! Didn't you hear me? I told her I loved you...please...I would never do that to you. I love you." he said, trying to make her understand. Her crying was tearing him apart.

"I can't believe this!" Candice shook her head, willing herself not to fall apart. "I can't believe you, you of all people, would do this, I can't..." She whirled for the exit, needing to run as fast as possible.

(lol I'm suddenly having Stephanie walks in on Triple H and Trish flashbacks, but without Steph's screaming haha)

[[LOL i loved those!!!! They were so over the top!!!! Or when Jeff was at the time hanging out with Trish and then Torrie comes over with her paddle for her match...and when Trish sees..

"what's this?"

"Trish, she's got a paddle."

"Paddle this, bitch!" *cat fight commences* LOL]]

"Candice wait!" he said, trying to go after her. He couldn't believe what had just happened.

Candice fought against her tears as she ran down the hallway. This had been a bad idea, a very bad idea. And Jeff, her sweet, lovable boyfriend, how could he have done this too her? Millions of similar thoughts raced through her head as she blindly tried to find her way out there.

(OH YEAH! haha that was funny too. Or even Lita whenever someone would hit on Matt, haha funny!)

He finally caught her, grabbing her arm. "Candice! Please! It wasn't like that!" he reassured, pleading with her to stay. "Candice I would never betray you! I love you." he told her, wanting to stop her tears.

"Come on...it's me...it's Jeff. I love you and only you. Why won't you believe me? Why don't you trust me?"

"Jeff you nearly had your pants down!" Candice sobbed. "What am I supposed to think? Some scantily clad bitch was practically on top of you and your pants were practically around your ankles!"

"I had just gotten out of the shower! And then all of a sudden she just pushed herself on me. Candice I swear! I didn't do anything. I wasn't going to do anything! I love you!" he pleaded with her.

"What more do you want from me? What more can I do for you to trust me?"

"Why was she even in your locker room in the first place?" She asked trying to stop crying, it wasn't helping anything, but she was so hurt.

"I don't know how she got in there. I just had a knock on my door, and she was the one who came in." he said, telling her the truth.

Candice wiped at the tears on her cheeks. "It just looks so bad, Jeff."

Matt was walking around the arena when he noticed Jeff and Candice. He saw Candice crying and immediately went over and hugged her. Matt then glared at Jeff.

"What did you do?" Matt asked.

Jeff sighed and then Matt came over. "It was a misunderstanding Matt...I didn't do anything and I wasn't going to do anything. Some ring rat was trying to get at me and CAndice walked in at the wrong moment."

"I don't know what to think." Candice said trying herself under control.

"I told you never to hurt her Jeff." Matt said with a glare as he rubbed Candice's back with a hand.

"You think I was trying to?! You think I wanted to hurt her?!" he snapped.

"You know...I can't deal with this right now...I can't deal with being accused of something I'm not guilty of." he spat before turning heel and walking out. He needed some time to breathe and think.

Feeling her heart breaking, Candice burst into to tears again, pressing her face into Matt's shoulder.

Matt held Candice closer to him.

"Shh it's okay Candy." Matt said softly.

"I just don't know what to think, Matt. I walked in and the bitch was half naked, pretty much on top of him, and his pants were undone." Candice sobbed.

Jeff went back into the locker, trashing everything. He was so frustrated and angry and hurt. He punched his locker in until there was good sized dent...not to mention his hand started to bleed. "Damn it!" he cursed, clutching his hand. He slumped to the floor and actually started to cry. He felt so hopeless.

"I'm so sorry Candy, you don't deserve to be treated like this." Matt said.
