Switched

Things hadn't gone back to normal. Their relationship, which had used to be about being happy together, had become a chore. All couples had their problems but what if they weren't strong enough to get through it? The truth was, they just hadn't been getting along, a large part of it was everything that had been going on lately.

"Honestly, you can't be around someone all day, every day, and not get tired of them. This business can destroy a relationship, and that's not the only way how. I think if you still wanna be together and not end up hating each other, the best thing you could do is take time off." Terri offered her best advice to Trish. Trish rested her head on her hand and let out a sigh.

"I don't want it to be over, I want us to be together." Trish replied.

"I'm telling you from experience. It may not sound like a good idea now, but it could save your relationship in the future." Terri explained.

"Well, I don't want us to end up hating each other, I just don't know what to do. I want things to get better but no matter what we do, it just stays the same. It's like were in a rut." Trish explained.

"You hit a rough patch, maybe it's a test for you relationship." Terri suggested

"It's lasting too long" Trish frowned. "Every conversation seems like more of a struggle." She admitted as Terri rubbed her shoulder.

Jeff made his way down the hall, and he was just thankful to have sometime to himself. He didn't wanna think about his problems with Trish, although he knew ignoring them wasn't the answer. He continued to walked down the hall, when a depressed Stacy Keibler caught his eye. She had her head in her hands and she looked as sad as he felt. He walked up to her, and she slightly glanced up at him as she tucked a strand of fallen hair behind her ear. He could tell she was upset. He wasn't sure why, maybe she and Test had gotten into a fight, or perhaps Jericho had attacked her physically or verbally.

"Are you ok?" Jeff asked. Maybe it was a stupid question to ask, when someone was clearly upset, but he didn't know what else to say. She tried to give him a slight smile, but not even a huge fake smile, which she sometimes wore, could cover up the fact that something was wrong.

"Yeah I'm ok" Stacy nodded.

"Are you sure?" He double-checked.

"It's just Andrew." Stacy sighed. She had become Test's manager and girlfriend.

"Are you guys having problems?" Jeff asked

"I don't know, it's weird. One minute everything was perfect, we were completely in love and always happy together, and now it just seems like things are changing and I don't know what to do." Stacy explained.

"I know exactly how you feel." Jeff admitted as he sat next to her thinking of his own relationship.

"You mean you and Trish are having problems?" Stacy questioned.

"It's just like you said, everything between us seems to have changed. We've been having a lot of problems lately, I love her, I sacrificed a lot to be with her, and now I don't know what to do." Jeff explained

"It seems like Andrew is getting bored, he's always looking at other women." Stacy complained.

"It's normal for guys to do that. But then again I can't imagine why he would want to look at someone else when he has you." Jeff suggested. This brought a smile to Stacy's face.

"I guess but he was flirting with tons of girls at that GGW event. I always see him checking out other women, sometimes I just wonder if it's more than that. Maybe he's fooling around behind my back." Stacy explained.

"I don't know, but you don't deserve to feel like this. Maybe if it gets too bad, then you should break up with him. You should be enough for him, if he has to look elsewhere, then he doesn't deserve you." Jeff admitted.

"Thanks" Stacy smiled "Maybe you should try talking to Trish" She suggested

"No, she doesn't understand, we just fight." Jeff explained.

"Well, were talking and your being completely honest with me, and it hasn't caused us to fight. What's it with you men? You can never talk about you feelings and you always wanna run away from things." Stacy insisted.

"That's not true, we talk, it's been hard, we end up fighting and it still hasn't gotten better. I don't know what's wrong or why things haven't been the same." Jeff explained

"I think you two will be just fine, maybe you just need some alone time, just to be alone with each other like a romantic evening. I don't think avoiding each other is the answer. What's the point of being with someone that you don't even wanna be around? You need to rediscover what made you fall in love, it'd be a shame to see your relationship end over hard times. Your suppose to stick together through the tough times" Stacy suggested.

"I don't know, maybe your right, it just doesn't seem that simple." Jeff shrugged

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Trish plopped down on the bed as she entered the hotel room. She had thought a lot about what Terri had said. They needed to work through this and maybe they needed to do it separately, maybe they couldn't be together to do it. Maybe they did need "space." She got up and gabbed her duffle bag as she pulled open the dresser drawer. She began to pack her things when Jeff walked in. She turned around a bit startled as he shut the door.

"What are you doing?" Jeff asked

"Nothing" Trish answered. "I think we need to talk" She added in a serious tone.

"I know" Jeff nodded as he walked further into the room.

"Why do you think things have been this way between us?" Trish asked

"I don't know" He admitted

"Well it's never gonna work if we just ignore it. It's not gonna go away, we need to do something" Trish insisted.

"What do you think we should do?" Jeff questioned

"Everything was fine until Team Extreme broke up, and then things changed, I just want things back the way they were." Trish explained

"So what are you saying? It's all my fault? Since Team Extreme broke up, I'm the one who made things hard?" Jeff exclaimed.

"No, I'm not pointing fingers, but you have changed a bit" Trish argued.

"Oh, and you've just been the perfect angel? When do you ever spend time with me? When your not hanging out with Bubba or the Hurricane?! I don't mind if you have friends but your suppose to be with me." Jeff ranted

"At least they act like they wanna be around me!" Trish yelled

"Oh, and I don't!? don't try and blame this all on me, you know I love you. Yeah, maybe I have been going through a lot lately and I haven't been the best person to be around, but that's when your suppose to support me, not run away!" Jeff argued angrily.

"You don't think I'm supportive!?" Trish yelled. Jeff let out a frustrated sigh. They were silent for a few moments.

"What are we gonna do?" Jeff asked finally.

"I was talking to Terri, and she thinks that maybe with both just need some space. Maybe we should take a break." Trish sniffled.

"Your breaking up with me?" Jeff asked

"No, just some time off so we can think" Trish suggested.

"Well, I was talking to Stacy, and she doesn't think that running away is the answer." Jeff replied.

"You talked to Stacy about us!" Trish yelled outraged

"You talked to Terri!" Jeff screamed defensively

"I think Terri is right, we've tried everything else." Trish shook her head emotionally as she crossed her arms.

"So your breaking up with me?" Jeff repeated.

"No!" Trish insisted

"Well, what ever you wanna call it! "Space," "time off," what is it a momentary break up? Because I don't get it Trish, what do you mean when you say you wanna take a break, because it sounds like your saying you don't wanna be with me anymore." Jeff argued

"No, that's not what I'm saying. I just think we need time to ourselves, time to sort things out. Maybe with time things will get better." Trish cried.

"You think everything is just gonna solve itself if we take a break? That's not a solution, Trish, I need to know what you want." Jeff pleaded.

"I need time" Trish admitted emotionally, this was so hard.

"What does that mean? For how long? Are we seeing other people, are we together, I need to know." Jeff cried

"I don't know all the answers, were just taking some time off." Trish answered a she picked up her bag. She walked toward the door when he stopped her from passing him. He ran his thumb across her face, wiping away the tears.

"You need time." Jeff began as he pulled the bag out of her hand and dropped it to the floor. "You can have time, just remember this" he added as he kissed her. She let the kiss linger. He tasted so good. She couldn't hold back the passion as she kissed him, he was hungry for her and it felt good. He pulled her jacket down her arms and threw it to the floor. He threw her back onto the bed and climbed on top of her aggressively. He pulled off his own shirt and once again captured her lips in an urgent kiss. He slipped his hand between her legs and pulled down her panties. He entered his way inside of her and thrust back and forth as hard as he could as she moaned and slightly screamed. Their first time had been sweet, slow, soft, gentle, and romantic. This was rough, and hardcore, she liked the difference of both worlds, and the way he made her body feel new things. He grinded harder and harder gasping for air himself as she gripped his back and arched hers. She had never felt it like this before. He jerked her hips up as he squeezing her body closer as he went deeper and deeper. He just couldn't hold it back anymore, he wanted her to remember, and never forget what they had, he felt like he was losing her, as he held her tighter, he loved being inside pf her. Sweat trickled down her neck as she began to shake. She couldn't believe how amazing he felt. Maybe time apart wasn't the answer, but they would soon find out. One thing was for sure, she wouldn't forget.
