"You bought what?" Jeff said leaning back in his chair surprised. This wasn't what he expected her news to be. He thought she was going to dump Matt and come and be with him. This news was totally unexpected.

"I bought a studio space and a lot where I will build my record label Jeff. This is my chance to live another dream, now that I've accomplished my wrestling dreams."

"Did you tell my dad about this when you were there?"

"Yeah, he helped me in my decision. Aren't you happy for me Hun?"

"Um.."

"Well forget what Jeff thinks. You're really coming to Toronto? So we can totally hang out more?" Trish said practically jumping out of her seat. This had to be the best news."

"I won't be living there or anything, I mean I will still be located in Cameron, I don't think I could ever leave, but this just seems like the right move for me. And yes Tish, we can totally hang out more. I have to be there a lot now to oversee what's going on with the studio."

"Oh this is so freaking great!! We haven't seen each other a lot lately and I've wanted you to come for a visit anyways! Isn't this wonderful guys?"

Summer searched Jeff's face for a reaction, because he didn't seem as happy about it as Trish was. She had thought that out of everyone, Jeff would be the one to understand. He did love music as much as her, so this was their dream together.

"It's great Summer. Good for you, doing what you want to do." Shane said with a big smile, until turning and seeing Jeff's reaction. Wiping the smile off his face he just looked at his buddy and sighed. Jeff obviously didn't think too much of the idea.

"Summer can I talk to you outside for a moment?" Jeff choked out.

"Yeah, let's go. We'll be right back Tish. Take care of her Shane; make sure she doesn't miss me too much." Summer said trying to lighten the mood after her announcement.

Following Jeff away from the table and to the outside of the club, she knew what was coming. This was something she had been hoping wouldn't happen. She had a lot of explaining to do to make this whole thing make sense to him. She knew he thought he was losing her.

"Does Matt know about this?"

"He has no idea. I am meeting him when he gets home on Wednesday, and I'm telling him then. I had to prepare for his reaction. What I didn't expect was your reaction. What gives Jeff?"

"What do you mean what gives? We finally admit we have feelings for one another, and then you run to my dad, leaving me to wonder if you know what you really want. Then you start dating Matt again, to add insult to injury, and I'm just left wondering where I fit in your life. This news now that you're leaving to do your music, well it's just a little too much for me to handle."

"What are you saying?"

"I'm saying that if you leave, there's a possibility that you won't come back, which leaves me to believe that there can never really be an us."

"Jeff our relationship has nothing to do with this. This is my dream, are you telling me that I have to choose my dream of a music career and lose you, or choose you and lose my music?"

"I'm not going to make you choose baby, only you can do that. But you are going to be in Toronto for a while, and I don't know how I feel about that, and I don't think you do either. You might think your better after everything that's happened, but you're still running."

"That's crazy. I just want some time to follow my dreams, that's all. I gave up everything to be a WWE superstar, now I want a little of that back, and I know I can do this good."

"Then do it then. I won't stand in your way. Just know that I love you, and when you figure out where you want me in your life, let me know. I'll be around."

With that as his last remarks, Jeff walked towards the car and just sat inside. He couldn't leave the club without the others, but he just needed a few minutes away to let everything he'd just said sink in. Not only was Summers life changing, but his was being forced to change too. He just hoped it was changing for the better.

"Instead of staying in tonight and watching movies on the couch, do you want to go for a walk with me Matt?" Summer asked as they were snuggling close in the recliner watching television together.

"Of course, any place in particular that you want to walk too?"

"No, there's just something I need to talk to you about, and I want to take a walk because I can't do it sitting here."

"Yeah come on. Let's get going then."

Summer knew this was the right time to tell him. Since he had come home she'd wanted to just blurt it out, because she knew that this was not going to sit well with Matt. It hadn't sat all that well with Jeff, and he was her best friend. She knew with Matt he was going to be shell-shocked. There was no way around it. Matt was completely about the wrestling business, and this was going to be earth shattering to him.

As they made their way down the road, Summer took a deep breath and took in everything around her. She was just trying to stall.

"What did you want to tell me sweetheart?"

"Matt, I did something while I was staying with your father, and it affects whoever I end up with. So after telling Jeff, I need to tell you and hope that you understand."

"What could you have done that would make me give you a bad reaction? Did you sleep with Jeff?"

"No of course not, and I'm not sleeping with you either, until I figure everything out, so don't get any ideas here pal!" Summer laughed.

"Okay, so just tell me. We've gotten closer lately, you can tell me anything now."

"I'm going to relocate to Toronto for six months."

"What the hell?"

"I bought some studio space there and I'm making my own recording studio, and later on a recording company, the label and the whole bit."

"Okay, so you're moving to Toronto?"

"No, I'm just going out of town for a little while to get this whole thing off the ground."

"Okay.. So what about you're wrestling? The story lines?"

"I'm being taken off the active roster, and I've been cleared for six months for a leave."

"I thought this was your dream, to be a professional wrestler. What changed here?"

"Nothing changed Matt, I still love wrestling, I just need to do something else right now, and it has to be this way for me to see what I really want to do."

"Summer, I love you, and you know I normally accept everything you do, I mean you and I don't look alike at all because of all the changes you go through, but I can't accept this."

"What the hell does that mean Matt?"

"It means that, go do what you have to do, but If your life isn't with wrestling anymore, then I don't see much of a future for us. I'm sorry."

"I can't believe I'm hearing you say this. Did the last year mean nothing to you?"

"It meant pretty much everything too me, but wrestling was the one thing we had in common, and now with you wanting to be like Jeff and follow your musical dreams, its not that way anymore."

"Well at least you're honest. I can't say I didn't expect it. I better get back to my house. I need to be alone for awhile. Not to mention I leave for Toronto in two days."

Summer kissed Matt gently on the lips and jogged back towards her house. She knew telling Matt was going to be hard, but she didn't think she would have to say goodbye all over again. She had a lot of thinking to do before she got on that flight. Above everything else that had happened she knew she was making the right move this time. This was something she had to do on her own, without the Hardy Boyz.
