Luckily for everyone, there was a technical failure at the arena that evening. The event was moved a day later, Taker and others hid Hazel out of the eyesight of Vince and other senior officials. Jeff, Matt, Gil and a few others knew that the power outage at the arena had saved Hazel's career. Matt and Lita shared a room as the norm, giving the circumstances, Jeff shared with Gil so that Kane could keep a close eye on his sister. During the night, Hazel began screaming in her sleep and thrashing around in the bed. Kane went to Undertaker for his opinion on what to do.
"She's sweaty, stripped down, fan on. I gave her water. She's inconsolable."
Taker laughed. "She'll remember this next time she get high." he said rolling over to go back to sleep.
Kane looked at him. "But what about me?"
Taker laughed. "You took watch duty."
"Thanks!" Kane said indigently as he left Taker's room. He paced outside the row of rooms and cautiously knocked on the one door. Quickly the door flew open and there stood Jeff in his pj pants and a beater.
"Is she ok?"
"Nope, come on you." he said as he led Jeff to the room where Hazel was.
"Nothing calms her. Taker says it's withdrawals."
Jeff nodded his head. "It's not. She is a restless sleeper. For as long as I've known her. What do you need to me to do?"
Kane pointed at the bed in frustration. "Something! I'm exhausted!"
Jeff patted Kane's shoulder. "Take my bed. I got this." he said ushering him from the room.
Once Kane was gone, Jeff stripped to his boxers and took off his beater. He climbed into the bed next to her and pulled her close to him. Her arms instantly curled around his neck and she was peaceful. He stroked her hair and apologized to her softly. "I'm sorry Hazel. So sorry." he said kissing her forehead softly.
Her eyes fluttered opened and she stared at him. "I knew it was you. I just thought it was a dream." she said as she clung to his neck. "I'm losing my mind, Jeff. I am. Everyone thinks I'm crazy! I know it doesn't make sense, but I don't trust her! I think she sent me out there knowing Edge was out there!"
"Shhh…"
"No, it's true!" she screamed as she sat up violently from their laying position. "Vince didn't know I was back! Lita TOLD me he was looking for me. Then Edge is out there! And she ADMITTED she talks to him! She told him about our baby!"
"Haz, shh.. Listen, please just calm down! I don't know what to believe. If she wanted the Championship why would she want Edge to spear you and KEEP you here? If she's sleeping with Edge, why would she still be with Matt? Why would she do all of this?"
She looked at him with a complete look of disgust. She nodded her head and bit her lip. "So it's easier for you to believe that I'd cheat on you with Edge, and get pregnant by him, then have him spear me to kill the baby so I could keep my little secret?!"
Jeff was frustrated. "What? NO! I never said that!"
Hazel was kneeling on the bed screaming in Jeff's face. Her eyes were wild and her voice was shrieking as she stared at him. "It's either you believe me or you believe THEM! You think that the baby wasn't yours? You seriously think that? WHEN?! WHEN DID I HAVE TIME?! EVERYNIGHT I WAS IN YOUR BED? EVERY MATCH I WAS AT RING SIDE WITH YOU? WHEN JEFF WHEN?!"
The motel door flew open and Matt stood there with Gil. "What in the world is going on?!" Matt yelled.
Hazel was fuming as she jumped up from the bed. "Well?" she screamed at Jeff.
He sat there in utter shock. He'd never seen Hazel snap like this before. "I..."
"So who's the liar? Jeff? Hmm? ME or Her?" Hazel continued to scream.
Gil placed his hands onto her shoulders. "Haze. Sweetheart, please calm down. Jeff, out! Matt get him out!"
Jeff looked at his dad with shock. "What?!"
Gil gritted his teeth, "Out, now! Both of you!"
"Hazel, seriously," Jeff yelled as Gil glared at his sons. Hazel sat on the bed and said nothing as Gil ushered them out and slammed the door.
Matt looked at Jeff, "Good job. She probably woke everyone up with her screaming."
Jeff ran his hands through his hair. "Do you think Lita is sleeping with Edge?"
Matt laughed. "No, not my Lee..."
"She admitted that they talk... and when you were gone, she wasn't with Hazel or me really at all... are you SURE there's no truth to it?"
Matt shook his head. "Hazel and Edge have history. We have caught them together a lot and it makes sense that she'd lose her shit after he said it wasn't your kid."
Jeff shook his head. "I know Hazel. She wouldn't do this."
Gil looked sadly at Hazel as she sat on the bed. Her head rested in her hands and her hair cascaded around her face as she sobbed. "I don't know what to do. I lost my baby and now Jeff thinks that it wasn't even his baby! Like how could he think I'd betray him like that?! I don't know what I ever did to deserve this!"
"I don't know what he's SAYING or WHY but Honey, he knew that baby was his! He told me since day one that you were having his baby! It's not fair to you, but the idea of Lita being a liar is hard for him to believe... but he shouldn't put that onto you!"
She looked at him. "You've always been the closest thing to a dad that I've ever had. This past year I actually had a dad. I'll miss it." she said sadly.
Gil looked at her and understood her meaning.
"Can you please go to Jeff's and get my things please? I'll get them from you sometime. I can't go back to the house." she looked at him and sadly smiled as he nodded his head. "I love Jeff more than I can ever say, but the fact that he thinks I could do something so despicable I can't look at him the same."
Gil nodded his head. "Hazel, I know you love my son. So does he. He loves you more than anything. I have seen the person you were since I met you and if my son can't see it, then it's his loss."
"Please, don't say anything to Jeff. I might just need to sleep on it." she said softly.
The next morning, Jeff looked everywhere for Hazel but no one had seen her. Gil sat with Matt and Lita watching Jeff frantically dial her cell phone number. He kept questioning his father about her whereabouts. Gil didn't know, she wasn't in the room that morning when he woke, but her things were there.
"She probably just went to think. Her things are here. The car is here. Just give that poor girl some time to think." Gil said.
"This isn't like her!" Jeff snapped.
Lita laughed. "She's over there with her brothers."
"What?" Jeff spun around and saw her with her siblings. He hung up his phone and quickly walked towards her. Kane nudged his sister as he approached. Hazel looked up at him with a vacant look on her face.
"Haze?" he asked with surprise in his tone.
She didn't even rise to greet him. Kane looked at Jeff then at Hazel. She sighed. "Let's go talk..." she said as she rose towards him.
"Hazel?" Jeff asked with panic in his voice.
She turned to face him. "Jeff, I don't want to fight. Loving you hurts too much. You think I'd betray you with Edge. You think that our baby wasn't yours. I can't be with someone who doesn't know anything about the type of person I am. I do love you. I always will... but I just can't do this anymore." she shrugged. "Sorry."
Jeff was in shock. He felt a sharp pain in his chest as she turned from facing him. He grabbed her wrist. "Haze..."
She turned to look at him and gently pulled her arm from his grasp. Kane was standing watching the interaction but Hazel waved him off. She bit her lip and looked at him with sadness in her eyes. "I'll always love you, Hardy. I promise you that."
He watched as she walked away. He felt like he'd been kicked in the chest. Matt and Gil watched in shock as Jeff ran passed them quickly. Hazel pretended not to notice. Her chest hurt too much to try to hide her feelings.
"Oh shit..." Matt said as he quickly jumped from the table in hot pursuit of his brother. Gil looked at Hazel and nodded with love in his eyes. Kane and Taker looked at her. "You ok?"
She nodded at her brothers. "Yeah, the pain goes away eventually right?"
Kane tried to smile. Hazel lowered her head and tried to conceal the tears in her eyes.
"What happened?" Matt screamed as he followed Jeff.
He turned on his heels and faced his brother. "She dumped me! This is all your fault!"
Matt looked confused. "How's it MY fault?"
Jeff grabbed the bridge of his nose as he lowered himself down into a crouching position. "Because I let you get into my head that something was going on with her and Edge!"
"So she admitted it?!"
Jeff jumped up and lunged at his older brother. "No! She NEVER did anything and I questioned that she did! I KNOW her and I still let myself THINK it for a moment!"
Matt smirked. "Then that's YOUR fault!"
Jeff punched Matt in his chest as he stormed away.
Later that night, Hazel was standing in the ring preparing for her match. She wasn't wearing armbands or any of her normal gear. She didn't walk to the ring with Jeff or come out to the Team Xtreme theme. The crowd was confused but still cheered for her. Before Victoria came to the ring, Jeff came to the ring looking sadder then anyone had ever seen him before. Hazel avoiding looking at him as he climbed into the ring. He walked towards her and threw himself onto his knees at the mat. Hazel felt everyone's eyes on her. Jeff grabbed her by the knees and held her in a hug from his knees. She looked at him.
"Please don't do this!" she screamed trying to free herself from his grip.
"I'm so sorry I ever questioned you, Hazel! I love you! Please!" he begged her.
She freed herself from his embrace and stepped away from him. "No, Jeff, please! I have a match! Please it's over!"
The crowd was booing as she walked away from him. She looked at him. "You don't know what type of person I am to even think I'd cheat on you!"
Jeff looked at her. "I'm sorry Hazel! I made a mistake!"
His display was making her uncomfortable. She looked at him. "You thought OUR baby wasn't YOURS and it hurts too much to know that you think I'd do that to you!" she screamed.
Jeff grabbed her and tried to hug her, but Hazel shoved him away and stood there awkwardly. He walked towards her once more and she kicked him in the midsection and delivered the twist of fate to her ex love. The crowd booed as she left him laying in the ring as she walked up the ramp towards the back.
"I love you always!" Jeff screamed looking at her.
"Goodbye Hardy!" she screamed as tears streamed down her cheeks.
