Where we left off...

***Eddie's POV***
I look up a bit to see Jericho, who was still holding me and rocking me in his
own little world, I hear him whisper....
"Why Sean? Why...I loved you..."

And now, for the new stuff....

*** Matt's POV***

"That's it, I give up on blondes."  Sean announced, slumping down on the bed of my hotel room.

I blinked from the other side of the bed, my eyes still puffy from tears.  "Any reason?"

He sighed.  "I saw Jericho this morning while I was trying to get some coffee.  Went to talk to him.  He told me, and I quote, to get my "no good, player, friend of a cheap whore ass away from him."  Did I miss something, Matt?"

I took a deep breath.  "Eddie thinks we were making out."

Sean sat up, pulling me up so we were facing each other.  "Why would he think that?"

"Because the Radicals told him we were."  I decided not to incriminate Tazz.  "And his medicine makes him paranoid."

Sean crossed his arms over his chest.  "Well, did you try telling him it wasn't true?"

I jumped off the bed in anger.  "No Sean, I just told him that yeah it was true and let the best thing that ever happened to me walk out of my life!  Of course I told him it wasn't true, he wouldn’t listen to me!"

"Don’t yell at me!"  Sean shouted back.  "I loved Jericho too, OK?  You’re not the only one who’s losing someone here...."

And then there was a pounding on the door.  I stomped over and opened it.  Michael Cole stood there, thankfully wearing pants this time.  "Will you two be quiet?"  he asked, sounding annoyed.

I blinked in surprise.  "We're just having a little problem here, Cole, so if you wouldn’t mind, we'll try to keep it down if you just go back to your room..."

He rolled his eyes.  "Yeah, sure you will.  Soon as I leave, you two will go back to yelling at each other."  He paused.  "So, do you enjoy screaming and waking up the whole floor, or do you want to know how to get Eddie and Jericho back?"

This time it is Sean who responds, walking straight up to Michael and yelling in his face.  "What the hell do you know about what’s going on?  Huh?"

But Cole only smiled calmly.  "I know what's been leaking though my wall.  I know that Matt's boyfriend and Sean's crush think the two of you are making out.  I know that you two are sitting here whining about it instead of doing anything."  He smiled.  "I think that's about it, right."

"So then what would you suggest we do, since you’re so smart?"  I couldn’t keep the sarcasm out of my voice.

He sat down on the edge of my bed.  "Ok, to start...."

So take that look out of here it doesn't fit you
Because it's happened doesn't mean you've been discarded
Pull up your head off the floor, Come up screaming
Cry out for everything you ever might have wanted
I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered
But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered
