Chapter 12: How you remind me!
Straight after her match that night, Alex went to the hotel room, which the four of them were still sharing. When she entered she found Dave and Karen snuggling on the couch and a tub of ice cream next to them. Alexis walked gradually and then plopped on to the single couch and grabbed the tub of ice cream.
"Hey you." Karen said, as she took notice of her friend.
"Sup?… I mean…what's up?" Alexis said, as she tried her best not to use John's catch phrases. She practically heard him talk like that all the time and well, it started rubbing on to her.
"Oh, Alex! Trish told us about what you did. You know…hooking up Mickie with Cena. Well…congratulations!" Karen said, as she watched her friend just stare at the TV screen.
"Congrats?? For what?" Alexis stated, as she continued eating the ice cream.
"Well, now that Cena and Mickie are together, you can have your own locker room because Mickie said she'd like to share a locker with John." Dave stated.
"Oh…that's nice!" Alexis simply stated.
"Alex…is there something wrong?" Karen asked her friend, with deep concern in her voice.
"Um…No…just tired…that's all." Alexis said as she changed the channel. Just then the door opened and Alexis was the first to look. In came John with a few movies, three boxes of large popcorn and Mickie James. Mickie ran up to Alexis and hugged her. "Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you!" Mickie exclaimed, as she squeezed the living daylights out of Alex.
"Ow…it's fine, but I really wanna keep the ice cream in my stomach!" Alex replied, as John just stared at her.
"Here you are Alexis." John said sternly, as he gave Alex a box of popcorn.
"Dave and Karen will be sharing and I will be sharing popcorn with Johnny, cause…Well…We're together." When Mickie said that, Alex couldn't help but feel hurt.
"Excuse me. I have to go to the bathroom." Alexis said, as she walked away briskly. Mickie just shrugged her shoulders and asked, "Who's up for a movie?"
"US…what you got?" Dave asked, as Mickie showed him all the titles.
John hardly paid any attention to what was happening, as he had noticed the look in Alex's eyes when Mickie had said her last comment.
"Excuse me fellas." John said, as he left the lounge. The rest of the guys decided to watch a Disney animated film, sleeping beauty.
Alex just stared into the mirror as the tears rolled down her face. She hated the fact that 'Mickie Mouse' was out there cuddling next to John. She looked at the pathetic sight in front of her. Her mascara was all out over her face and her eyes were bloodshot.
"Why is this happening to me?" She asked herself, as she thought about everything. She remembered the first time she fell in love with Keith. She remembered the first time they met, their first date, their first kiss and yes the first time they said I love you. At one stage those three little words meant the world to Alexis; It meant that you would go to the ends of the earth to be with the one who love, that you will stand at their side forever and even when the world ends and changes, the feelings that you have towards each other will never change. But now, it was just three words.
As she glared at the mirror, she remembered the last time she beheld this sight…when Keith broke up with her.
Flashback
Alexis woke up bright and early that morning. She looked out the window and saw the beautiful day that had dawned. She turned and looked down at the young man besides her. She smiled. There was no other place that she would have rather been, then with her boyfriend of 5 years, Keith.
Alexis and Keith were high school sweethearts. Everyone said that they were the perfect couple, and in high school they were voted the hottest couple of the year. Keith was so romantic and loved surprising Alex, but the surprise that Keith had in store for today, was one that definitely out of the ordinary.
"Hey baby!" Keith said, as he lay in bed, with his beautiful girlfriend.
"Hey honey! What we doing today?" Alexis asked, stroking Keith on his head.
"Well…we going to the thanksgiving so…we will be there. But now princess, I will have to go and help my dad. So I'll fetch you at 5?" Keith said, as he kissed Alex on her head, and jumped out of bed.
"Yip! Love you honey!" Alex said, as she got up.
"Love you too. Oh and invite Karen…you'll need her!" Keith yelled from the bathroom.
"Okay!" Alex stated as she went to get breakfast prepared.
Later at the thanksgiving:
"Alex, you look gorgeous!" Karen said, as she hugged her best friend.
"Thanks…you too!" Alex stated, as she stood near her friend.
"Oh, Alex…I forgot to tell you. Keith has a surprise planned for you. Hope you like it." Keith's mom said. Alex never really liked his mom, but because she gave birth to the guy of her dreams, she tried too.
"Ooo…a surprise. I hate that lady. She seems evil!" Karen stated in a demonic tone, as Alex laughed.
"Ladies and gentleman, I have an announcement to make. I like to thank you all for coming to my thanksgiving." Alexis was shocked. It was his thanksgiving. She looked at Karen who smiled at her saying," I wonder what he's up to?" Alex continued listening.
"…And tomorrow I will be getting married to the girl of my dreams…" Alexis was shocked. Was he going to propose to her, tonight? Was she getting married tomorrow?
"Maybe, that was the reason why he was always so busy. He was planning for his and her wedding."
"So without futhur ado, my beautiful girlfriend, and the future Mrs Daniels…" Alexis smiled and then he said, " Antoinette Lakefield!"
Alexis was distraught. He broke up with her the day before he gets married. She was his toy and nothing more then that. From that day onwards Alexis promised herself that she would never be hurt again. Even if it meant putting up walls.
End of flashback
Just as Alex came back to reality, there was a knock on the door. She quickly wiped her face and opened the door, thinking that it was Karen.
"Hey!" John said, as he walked inside the bathroom.
"Oh, hi. Sup?" Alex said, as she neatened her face.
"Ha…that's copyrighted you know." John could tell that Alex had been crying, but he decided not to ask.
"What is?" Alex asked, as she reapplied her make up.
"Sup." John stated.
"Oh…" Alex stated, as she tried not to look at John.
John walked behind Alex, spun her around and caught her into a hug. Alex didn't try to fight it; she just hugged him back, as the tears fell from her eyes onto his shirt. He placed his chin on her head and just continued holding her. If it were up to John, he would stay like this forever. Alex wiped her eyes and remained in the position.
"I don't…like…um…Mickie Mouse." John stated as he stroked Alexis's hair. Alex giggled at his comment.
"It's great to hear you laugh." John said, as he picked up her chin and cupped her face. They were seconds away from kissing until, "John, Alex. The movies starting." Mickie yelled. Alex pulled back and said, "We should be going."
"Yip. You right." John said.
"Hey."
"Yah?" John asked.
"Yip, it's copyrighted." Alex said, as she walked out of the bathroom. John wanted to kick himself for not kissing her but laughed at her last comment.
During the movie John stared at Alexis the whole time, hardly paying attention to anything. Alexis was smiling and laughing at the movie and never notice. Except, someone else noticed…
