Alexis had just pulled her bag into the locker room of the arena. "Ugh" she grunted , she had been driving for a few hours and managed to drag her suitcase , plus her boyfriends things with her.
" Hey there superwoman!" Yelled her best friend Stacy. " Taking forever lugging suitcases around!"
Alexis rolled her eyes. Stacy had know she wasn't in a good mood in the slightest. Guess it was just her best friend duty to always annoy just a little bit more in her own adorable best friend way.
" Have you seen my knight in shining armor?" Alexis asked tossing clothes all over her floor.
"Not at all , why?" Stacy replied , moving out of the way before she was accidently hit by slinging clothes and shoes.
Alexis sat down , " no particular reason , he only throws his stuff in my car and rides with his brother , and THEN leaves ME to carry it all !" She let out in frustration. " Remind me again , why I have a boyfriend?" She asked her friend sarcastically , tying her long black hair and throw it into a side ponytail.
Stacy smiled at her , this had been an often complaint she heard from Alexis' mouth. " Just leave it , it'll be fine . Talk to him when you see him"
They both walked out of the locker room.
"I'm gonna go find like food or something " Stacy said before walking off.
"Alright ! Bring me something too !" Alexis called after her. She walked down the long hall , peeking into random dressers and locker rooms. " Hey John " she called out " have you seen Jeff anywhere?" She asked , almost like a lost puppy.
He smiled at her and pointed to the left. " Three doors down .. Get it ? Get it?" He laughed at his own joke , and lightly pushed her.
" Hardy har har !" She laughed sarcastically , and followed his directions into the last locker room.
" Heyyy " she whinned as she pulled the headphones off of his head.
" Hey beautiful" responded Jeff , completely shutting off the ipod and pulling his girlfriend into a kiss. " What's up ? Where have you been?"
She hung her head , it was often that he asked her this question , as if he didn't pay attention to her at the last arena they had left. She sighed heavily before answering. " I got lost again"
"Really?" He responded in shock " how'd that happen?"
She took his ipod and rolled the headphone wires around it. " Can you just like .. " She hesitated. " Can you just like stop leaving without me please?". She asked in a low voice.
" Leaving without you? What are you talking about? I told you I was going with Matt and Randy" he explained.
" No yeah .. I know " Alexis began , attempting to make herself clearer in her point. " I just want you to like ride with me , like Matt and Randy have each other, I just drove like hours by myself. I'm so exhausted , was like falling asleep at the wheel almost , and I'm not exaggerating I just ... I want to spend time with you " she finished in the cutest voice.
" Aww baby, I'm sorry" responded Jeff , kissing her forehead " of course I will"
They heard a knock at the door. " Hour and a half until show time" called Harold from outside the room.
Alexis hung her head with the announcement being said " okay ...thanks" she responded flatly.
This is something Alexis was use to traveling alone and then when getting to spend those few minutes with Jeff it was ruined by the telling of the time left until the wrestling show.
" I really just don't feel like doing anything tonight" Alexis said as she sat herself down on the floor.
" What's wrong with you though? You're miserable right now" Jeff snapped.
" I'm tired Jeff !" She snapped back. She stopped and realized how nasty she sounded. " I'm sorry just ... Maybe getting like my period or something " she lied.
" So like leave after the match Lex , don't take it out on me " he said walking out of the room letting the door close behind him.
Truth was Alexis was 22 years old, she had been a WWE wrestler since the age of 18. She knew nothing more then suitcases , hotel rooms , and spending five minutes with her boyfriend of 5 years. All the traveling and constant moving on top of less and less intimacy with him was taking such a toll on her. She loved what she did , of course , but like everything else it life it had its ups and downs.
Jeff came back in the room. " Are you fighting tonight? Or just walking me down?" He asked in a hurry.
" I'm just walking down with you , typical flip off the top rope , that's all" she answered with a faint smile.
" Alright , go get ready , meet you at the entrance way" he said., leaving her alone again.
They had gotten ready and met by the entrance way , as they always did before he wrestled. They faced eachother and held hands. Stacy came as she always did and joined them. It was tradition that the three of them held hands and said a quick prayer before they went out.
" Alright , be careful the both of you " stacy said kissing both of them on the cheek. " I love you ! "
" I love you too ! " Alexis yelled after her best friend.
She ran off and the couple stood there back in the position they were before Stacy had come over. They rested their foreheads on eachothers and waited for Jeff's music to play. The music blasted through the arena a few seconds later , and the crowd erupted.
" I love you " she yelled over the music and cheering.
" I love you too" he smiled back.
They walked through the curtain and were greeted by the thousands of fans. It was always then that Alexis remembered why she gave up the "normal" life for this.
