She could hear the music blasting from inside the house as she pulled the car to a stop,and opened the door letting the hard beat hit her. With a swalow she stepped out of the car closing the door, and standing by it's side. She stared up at the stone house preparing herself for the party inside. Cars filled the driveway and the yard. More than 30 cars: meaning the party had went from a small get together to a huge bash. She had just worked a 16 hour shift on top of being on call the 24 hours before that. She had a total of 3 hours of sleep in the last 4 days, so with one last deep breath she headed towards the front door moving past a man throwing up over the railing of the front porch.

Christa pushed the door open and was met by a loud thumping. She didn't recognize anyone yet, but was sure Jeff would be found surounded by people. She entered the house getting strange looks she guessed becasue she wore scrubs. Two blonds huddled in the corner whispered to eachother then looked at her and laughed. She rolled her eyes, and walked further into the house. She passed the girls and one of them spoke loudly.

"Boy some people will come to a party in anything."

"Yeah! just looking to meet a celebrity."

"Thankfully Jeffy has more class than that."

Christabel stoped and looked at the girls who smiled at her triumphantly. "And thankfully neither of you really know him."

"Oh we know him honey. We know him real real well." The girl walked towards Christabel a smirk on her face. "You see I am his girlfriend, and this is my house." The girl licked her lips. "So get out."

The other girl stepped forward bumping Christabel hard knocking her to the side. Christa clenched her fist, and pulled it back only to have it grabed. She tilted her head to look at the hand, and frowned looking into the eyes of Shannon Moore. He smirked at her.

"Thank you Shannon now can you please take out the trash. She's starting crap, and I dont' want to have to hurt her."

Shannon stared at Christa a moment, then looked at the girl. "You want me to take the trash out you say?"

The girl nodded and ran a hand over Shannon's chest. Shannon looked at the hand then over at Christabel. "Dose that make you the trash?"

Christabel shrugged," I suppose so."

"Well I can't very well throw you out now can I?"

Christabel smiled as the girls looked at Shannon with a glare. "Maybe Jeffy would like to know one of his best friends is letting toruble into his house." The girl stared poitedly at Christabel.

"I didn't let her in actually. He did." SHannon let go of Christabel and looked at the girl.

The girl stared puzzled at Shannon, "Liek he would let this loser into his house."

"Well he did, and his cars, his bed, his bank account, hell he let her into his heart." Shannon smiled at Christa.

Christabel looked at the girls and smirkes, "Oh did I forget to mention I live her. You see some girls who date celebrities actually have a life of their own, and earn their own money. You should close you mouths before you catch a fly."

The girls frowned and glared as Christabel walking away from them Shannon flolowing laughing, but stoped and grabbed Christabel by the arm. "Maybe you should let me find him."

"I already saw the bimbo on his lap Shannon." Christa didn't bother to look at the man. She wasn't sure if he was trying to spare her or Jeff.

"He's really drunk, he dosen't know what he is doing."

Christabel rolled her eyes, "Sure he dosen't. Maybe being drunk is brining out his true feelings."

Shannon sighed, "Just... don't go over there."

"Why not Shannon? Don't want him to know he's been busted?"

"Actually I don't want tt see you get even more hurt." Shannon patted her shoulder, and then gave it a light squeeze.

Christa sighed, and turned to look at him. "I can't just let him cheat on me." With that she headed in the direction of Jeff and the women on his lap.

She stood to the side for a second listening and stayed slightly behind some man who was laughing at the drunk girl throwing herself at Jeff Hardy.

"So sweetheart why did you come all the way out to my party?" Jeff asked his hands resting on her outer thighs.

"To see you ofcorse." She stammered. Just as drunk as Jeff if not more drunk.

Jeff took a glup out of a red plastic cup, and Christabel could smell the strong oder of Whisky wofting from them both.

'Well looks like it wasn't a wasted trip then was it?" Jeff smiled rubbing his hands across the girls legs. She grined and shifted in his lap. "You better behave yoruslef. My girlfriend will be home soon."

The girl grinned, "I don't care let her watch me take her man." The girl boasted getting oos and ahhs from the people around.

Jeff chuckled at her, "You think you can steal me away huh?"

The girl nodded licking her lips.

"And just how are you gonna do that my dear?"

Jeff watched as the girl slipped off his lap and onto her knees. She smiled up at him; until her head jerked backwards, and she came face to face with Christabel

"Yeah how exactly are you gonna steal him from me Kameran?" The blond stared blankly at Christabel.

"You're... I... I swear I didn't know he was your man..." The girl fell backwards when Christabel let go of her hair.

"Well now you know so get the fuck out." Christabel yelled. The girl tried to stand, but fell. "Someone call her a cab. She's wasted."

Shannon steped forward, and helped the girl up dialing the number to a cab company as he carried her to a near by chair. Christabel glared at Jeff.

"What?" He barked taking another sip then standing up and getting inches away form her face. "She was cute."

Christabel rolled her eyes at him, then turned aorund only to have Jeff grab her arm and spicn back around to face him.

"Don't act like you are the only one." Jeff stared at her then laughed. His hot whisky breath stinging Christa's nose. "Wait you did think ... You actually thought I was going to be faithful. Honey girls are a dime a dosen."

Christa felt hot tears welling up in her eyes, and she pulled her arm away from Jeff, "Is that so? "
Jeff swallowed another hard swalow then tossed the empty cup aside. "What's the matter?" His words sluring together in his drunken state. "Can't handle the heat? Maybe it's time you got thrown out of this kitchen?"

"And maybe it's time I walked out of it." Christabel spun in her heals, and stormed out of the house.

When she hit the door, she bolted not looking where she was going; just running away from the hot air, the smell of booz, and the loud thump of music. She ran right into a hard body, and tumbled to the ground. She fell in a heap the tears finaly spilling over once she hit the gournd.

"Wow! Christa? Girl What is wrong?" Gale Kim stared down at the girl . Matt Hardy standing next to her a similarly puzzled look on his face.

"Where's Jeff? Matt asked stupidly.

"Inside probably getting frisky with the first slut who falls into his lap." Christa spat out as Matt reached down and picked her up off the gorund.

"What are you talking about? Jeff has never cheated on you." Matt stared at Christabel hard. He watched the tears slip down her cheeks. "

Shannon walked out of the front door and looked at the three; then headed towards them briskly. "You ok?" He asked giving her shoulder another squeez.

Christa sighed heavily. "Am I supoed to be?"

"What's goign on?" Gale asked.

"Jeff is drunk.. real drunk. Been drinking Wisky all night." Shannon looked at Matt. "Christabel caught him and some girl getting... close."

"How close?" Matt asked staring at Christa.

"They were fully clothed, but She was about to try and change that."

Matt nodded, " Want me to just leave it. I don't care anymore. Like she was really the first.

Christa pushed her way past Matt and Gale, "I am outta here. If Jeff want's any of those skanks that bad he can have his pick."

Matt stared at Shannon a moment, "Looks like I missed all the fun."

Gale swatted at him and frowned. Matt shrugged. and walked towards the front door.

...

Shannon ran after Christabel catching her arm as she stormed down the driveway. "You gonna walk all the way to town?"

Christa shrugged, "What's it matter to you?"

Shannon was quiet for a moment slightly running to keep up with her. "We are friends... atleast I thought we were."

Christabel stoped and spun to face Shannon, "Really? Is that why you didn't bother to tell me he had been cheating on me?"

Shannon was quiet a moment ,and his gaze fell to the ground.

"Exactly becasue you are Jeff's friend not mine. So don't pretend to care about my feelings now just becasue you know Jeff is gonna feel like an ass in the morning, and you are hoping to help him out."

"Maybe you drove him to it Christabel." Shannon spat out not thinking. His eyes widened and he choaked a bit. "I didn't mean that."

"Yes you did." Christabel shook her head and continued her walk down the driveway. Shannon didn't follow her at first.

He watched her walk away. Not sure if he should follow her or let her go. She didn't know many people in Raleigh. Not that she hadn't met thorugh Jeff anywyas. He knew she had nowhere to go. He sighed heavily, and chased after her.

"You are gonna need a place to stay." He called catching up to her.

She didn't slow down, just sighed in anoyance, " I will find a nice comfy bridge to sleep under." She hissed speeding up a bit.

"And then what? I hear how your body was found tommrow morning? You can stay with me tonight. Tommrowo we can get this whole thing sorted out."

Christabel kept walking. Her face burned red, but the tears had dried up already. She was just mad now. Mad that she was the only one that didn't seem supried by the news. They all knew. Knew that there had been other women. Known that he hadn't slept alone like she had while he was on the road. Known he was unfaithful. Clearly he hadn't tried to hide it form anyone. Nobody but her anyways.

"I know I should have told you. I didn't want to hurt you Christa. I know you don't belive me, and I don't expect you to, but think of this; Would you have belived it had I told you? You had to find out for yourself."

Christabel stoped in her tracks, and looked at Shannon. A few stray tears fell down her cheeks. "No." She said softly.

Shannon pulled her into a hug. He held her for a few moments letting her cry on his shoulder. "I wish I could take the pain away." He whispered in her ear.

She pulled back, and whipped her face. "I'll get over it. It's just a guy right. No big deal."

Shannon sighed, and grabebed her hand, "Come on you look like you need some sleep. Tommrow we will sort this whole thing out."
