-Six Months Later-
"The studio looks amazing girlie! I can't believe you really did it! Congrats!" Trish exclaimed, as Summer gave her the grand tour of the studio.
Summer smiled as she watched Trish and her excitement. When she had the idea for the studio, this was the reaction she wanted when people came here. Now that she was finished and it was ready for its grand opening, everything just seemed to be falling into place. She hadn't kept in touch with anyone in Cameron while she was away, because there were so many things better left unsaid. The one person she shared her vision with was Gil. He had actually flown in to see her the week before and he was proud of her. She remembered with happiness what his reaction had been.
~~~~~
"So you really did it, didn't you girl?"
"I did, and I have to thank you for this. The time spent at your home, the ideas and the thinking I got done there, well it brought me to this moment. In another week this place will be open and we can get to make some really good music. I don't think anything has ever made this much sense to me before."
"It seems like you are at peace now girl. I'm glad that the time with me could help you with some of that. My boys miss you though. Matt seems pretty beat up over the way he left things with you, and Jeff, although he doesn't say too much, he hasn't been the same since you left either."
"I regret the way things ended with the both of them, but I couldn't seem to make them understand me anymore. This wasn't about me running away this time. This was about being here, in this moment and making my dreams a reality."
"Any plans to go back to wrestling?"
"Yeah actually, I'm flying out in two weeks to begin my training again. I hope to get back into it as soon as possible. It would be nice to work with Jeff again."
"There's a plan!"
"So do you like what I've done with the place?"
"You know I do princess. You have truly lived a dream, and I am glad that in some way I could be a part of it. I consider you almost like family now girl. You have made me proud."
~~~~~~
"So you really like it Tish?"
"Oh I totally love it. Not to mention for the last six months we've gotten to hang out so much, it was just wicked cool having you here. I just think its going to suck to see you go back home."
"I'm still on Raw sweetie; did you really think I would leave you hanging?"
"No, but you should know. When you left, they put me and Jeff into your old story line with him. We're together now. A lot of stuff has changed now."
"Is he happy?"
"With the story or in general?"
"Both I guess."
"He's alright with the story, I mean we do our thing and then go our separate ways. It's been that way the entire time. He doesn't want to go out, he just wants to fly home and hide in his studio. At least that's what Shane and Matt have told me. I think you coming home might help fix that though."
"I don't think so Trish. I mean when I left none of us were talking. Times have changed for all of us, more so for me then anyone. I made the decision to leave, they didn't stand behind me. I think it's just better this way."
"You can't really mean that can you? You were really in love with Matt a year ago, and six months ago you were so messed up over Jeff you ran to his father. I know things change, but can you really say it's for the better this way? With everything being unresolved?"
"Well when I get home, I can clear everything up, once and for all right? You'll see Trish, things have changed. I'm sure they don't even think about me anymore."
"If you say so." Trish said with a roll of her eyes.
*********
She stepped into her house and looked around. It was weird seeing how much everything still looked the same as when she left. Walking into the kitchen, she saw the picture of her and Jeff sitting on her table where she had left it. Picking it up and studying it, she realized that as much as she had loved being in Toronto and fulfilling her dream, she did leave things unresolved back here. Jeff had told her the last time they had talked, that when she figured out what she wanted from him, he would always be around. Was that still the case? Could they really be friends again?
Summer made herself some herbal tea and sat down on the couch in the living room. So much had happened in this house over the time she'd moved in. There were so many things better left forgotten, but coming back here had rehashed them all. Matt had broken her heart in this house, and Jeff had confessed his feelings to her in this very room. All these life changing events and she had nothing to show for them. Maybe it was time to face all of this head on and make some changes.
Walking over to her stereo, she decided to listen to whatever was sitting in there waiting to be played. As soon as she turned on the stereo, she knew it wasn't her CD that was playing.
"When I'm with you I shake inside"
"My heart's all tangled up. My tongue is tied it's crazy"
"Can't walk, can't talk, can't eat, can't sleep"
"Oh, I'm in love, oh I'm in deep"
Summer smiled as she listened to the song. This was one of the songs she had heard on the radio one day driving through Toronto, and had immediately thought of Jeff. She decided to check the rest of the CD and see what else was on it. Flipping through the CD she realized it was all eighties songs that they had grown up on. Looking around for a case, she found a letter lying on top of her stereo.
@---(---Summer---)---@
Trish and Dad told me you were coming home today, so I used your spare key to put this letter here for you. I hope you use your CD player when you get home, there's a surprise in there for you. It was just something I put together a couple of months ago, to make me forget about you. I hear from Dad everyday that you're doing well, and I am really glad for that. It's been a long time since you've gotten to have that. I guess all I wanted to say was, thank you for being who you were too me, and I hope you find what you need. That's all I ever wanted for you. I'll see you on Raw.
@---(--Jeff---)---@
Summer wiped the tears that were forming out of her eyes. When she had told Trish that everyone had moved on, she hadn't really thought they had. This letter from Jeff proved it. He had given up, and maybe it was time she did the same.
