Old memories.
I had sailed through the last few weeks shows, keeping a firm grip on my knockout title. No one could take me down, i felt unstoppable. Me and Jeff seemed to have become even closer, despite the fact that Beth wouldn't get off his case. I had just got backstage after my match against Maria, when i was approached by Dixie "i need you to get freshened up. You'll be accompanying Jeff in his match for the championship against Drew. I need team xtreme on top form tonight, the pair of you will be doing a signing tomorrow afternoon. I'll fill you both in after the match tonight." nothing more was said. I didn't even have time to ask questions. Jeff's match was happening after the one going on right now. I had no time to spare. Pushing open the male locker door, i notice Jeff sitting on the bench. He had only applied half of his face paint, his face looked full of regret.
As i placed myself next to him, i felt his hand rest on my leg "i don't know where it all went wrong. Me and Beth were so happy, but then she turned. I get quized every night after a match or a special event. We have so many fond memories, why is it all being thrown aside?" my heart sank. I just wanted to make everything ok for him, but i knew i couldn't. Placing my hand over his, i rest my head on his shoulder "sometimes people change. Sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. It's not our fault if our loved ones change due to a friendship. If there's no trust, there's no relationship. We can sit and talk more after the show, i promise. Right now, we have to get ready and show our fans we are strong!" his eyes connected with mine as a smile formed on his lips "thanks Lex. I'm so glad i still have you as a friend." a short silence falls around us before i stand up and place my hands on my hips "finish painting your face and then paint half of mine. I think it'll look great for our image" his eyes seemed to light up as i spoke. Finally, he looked happy.
Our faces were painted and we had taken our place behind the curtain, ready to make our way to the ring. Jeff's theme starts to play as he turns to look at me "let's do this!" bumping our fists together, we begin making our way through the curtain. The fans start to scream as Jeff takes to the stage, shortly followed by me. The arena was taken over by screams. As we made our way to the ring, fans leaned over the railing to touch us and take photos. Sliding into the ring, i jump up to the turn buckle and throw the Hardy guns. Jeff had done the same on the opposite turn buckle. Jumping down, i made my way to the centre of the ring, next to Jeff. I was shocked to feel his arm fall around my waist as we stood there. I shook it off, thinking nothing of it when Drews music echoed through the arena.
The match had been going on for almost 30 minutes. Both men were becoming tired and sore. I stood outside the ring, shouting for Jeff to win at the top of my lungs. The fans were also encouraging him. Finally, ten minutes later Jeff gets the pin on Drew. The bell rings as the ref holds his hand up and the announcer takes the mic "here is your winner, and new TNA champion, Jeff Hardy" the arena fills with screams as i throw myself into the ring. Our arms wrap around each other in a tight embrace "you did it! I'm so happy for you" i could feel him smile into my neck before he pulls away and holds his hand up with mine.
I was stood at ringside, eagerly awaiting for him to get the pin. The match had gone on for what felt like hours, but it had only been 20 minutes. The fans started to cheer as the bell rings "here is your winner, and new WWE champion, John Cena!" my eyes lit up as i jumped into the ring and threw my arms around him."you did it! I'm so proud of you" his arms wrapped around me in a tight embrace as the fans continued to scream.
"are you alright?" his words snapped me from my memories. We were still stood in the ring, his eyes were firmly pressed on me as he looked to me in confusion "i'm fine. I was just remembering the time Cena won the WWE championship. It was just like this, and i was there to see it. It's times like this that i miss my friends back in the WWE." a warm smile formed as he cupped my hand in his "come on, let's get out of here" we walked back up the ramp hand in hand, high fiving fans as we walked. Once we were behind the curtain, we were approached by Dixie "Alexis, Jeff, your signing will be held here in universal studios at 2pm tomorrow. Come dressed as if you are wrestling, face paint too. The fans will get the chance to have pictures with you both too, so we need team xtreme looking their best." i couldn't wait, this was my first ever signing and it was also team xtreme's first signing.
