A.n.: HOLLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wassup y'all. Aa you might have guessed this is
the second to last chapter of Live the Moment. It's gonna be a really!
REALLY!!!!!! Long chapter. The duet is by Fozzy and Alexia's song "Broken
Wings" was written by me but I can't put it in the fic it's too personal
and no other song really fits. Thank you for reading now enjoy the story.
"You ready for this?" Chris Irvine leaned over and asked the raven haired girl standing next to him. She wrung her silver bracelet clad wrist and nodded.
"I was born ready." Alexia said.
"You look great, you sounded great at rehearsal, and you're going to do great. Don't worry!" Chris smiled and winked at her.
"Ladies and Gentlemen the band of tonight. Fozzy!" Chris and the rest of the band disappeared in front of the curtain. She heard hoots and catcalls from some of the diva's and wrestlers and she grinned.
Chris gripped the microphone and began the lyrics to the song "Stand up and Shout", "It's the same old song.You gotta be somewhere sometime.But they never let you fly.It's like broken glass."
"It's like broken glass, you get cut before you see it. So open up your eyes, you've got desire. So let it out. You've got the fire. Stand up and shout. Stand up and shout." He crooned smirking a bit when Amy laughed and did a mock swoon.
Alexia smiled counting the beat in her head. She was handed a microphone and she flipped it on. She pulled back the curtain and stepped out onto the stage a look of sheer confidence on her face. Matt yelled out her name and she smiled at him. In her light blue jeans and red triangle bandana shirt with black boots she ran her fingers through her hair and began the second verse of the song. "You've got wings of steel.
But they never really move you. You only seem to crawl. You've been nailed to the wheel. But never really turning. You know you've got to wind it up. You've got desire." She smiled over at Chris and they sung the chorus of the song. "So let it out. You've got the fire. Stand up and shout.
Stand up and shout."
"You are the strongest chain. And not just some refection. So never hide again. You are the driver. You own the road. You've got the fire. Go on explode. You've got desire. So let it out.
You've got the power." She walked across the stage singing to various people. Amy and Jeff cheered her on while Matt couldn't tear his eyes away. She cocked her head to the side noticing the woman standing beside him with her arm hooked in with his. Dwayne appeared at Amy's side with a drink and he smiled at her with support and encouragement.
"Stand up and shout!" Alexia sang into the Mic.
"Stand up and Shout!" Chris Sang and response.
"C'mon ladies!" Alexia leaned over a bit off the stage and into the crowd. "Stand up and shout."
A few of the women in the audience replied with her.
"Guys show em how it's done." Chris leaned over in the same fashion as Alexia had. "Stand up and shout!"
"We can do better." Alexia said and the ladies go ready. " Stand up and SHOUT!"
"One more." Chris said the guys starting with out him. "Stand up and Shout!"
"Stand up and Shout, Stand up and SHOUT!" Alexia and Chris finished together and the crowd cheered she could have sworn she heard Matt above them all. "Thank you" They both said rushing off stage.
Mr. Feldman wove his way through the crowded banquet at the McMahon home. He stood wearing a brown trench with jeans and wet sneakers. The smell that came off him rivaled a dump. He scanned the crowd and saw no sign of his daughter and her companions. Several people walked past him sending disdainful and curious looks his way. He tried to smile but the dark yellow on his teeth and the way his lips curled made it look like a hideous snarl. He turned his attention to the stage and saw his daughter walk out with an acoustic guitar in hand. Moving closer towards the stage he bumped into someone on the way. A southern accent matching his own apologized and he nodded. Something about the voice stuck with him it sounded familiar.
"I'd like to dedicate this song to my friends who have helped me through one of the toughest times of my life. Matt and Jeff hardy for being my saviors. Matt especially for being my rock and my shoulder to cry on. Amy who took me under her wing and Dwayne for teaching me the neat trick with the eye brow. I'd even say this is for my father whom this song is about. It is titled Broken Wings" She sat down on a black wooden stool her legs crossed she set the guitar down on her knee and looked out into the audience once more before taking on a sullen look. She began the song and not a sound from the audience came.
She looked out in the crowd looking for Matt and didn't see him. However she did see a certain individual. She felt an icy cold emotion wash over her. He stared back at her and she just continued the song her head down for a few seconds to keep the tears from filling her eyes and spilling over. Raising her head again she looked confident and at peace.
Matt glanced at the girl on stage. She looked his way and nearly blanched. But she wasn't looking at him. Slowly he turned his head and right beside him was the man that she feared the most. Her father. She was trapped. If he was there for what Matt thought he was there for he'd cause a scene and call the police. Unless Alexia came with him quietly there would be a lot of problems for his brother and himself. Jeff caught his eye from the other side of the room and Matt nodded. He'd momentarily forgotten the woman who was on his arm.
"Matt what's wrong?" Leigh whispered watching his face as a mixture of emotions played and hit rewind and played over again.
"Leigh I…" He looked back at the stage Alexia was finishing her song. Matt glanced at the man beside him who now glared at him Mr. Feldman remembered him. He almost laughed.
"What? What's going on." Leigh asked him and he shrugged her off having no time to feel guilty. Alexia sang the last note and the crowd clapped as the last rift played out and echoed in the room.
"I've come for what's mine. That's my daughter and I'm taking her home." Mr. Feldman growled at the eldest Hardy. Matt stood his ground prepared for anything the man might throw at him. He felt rather than saw Jeff beside him. What he didn't see was Alexia putting her body in between Matt's and her Father's.
"Don't. Just let me have a moment with him." Alexia turned to her father and then back to Matt. Tugging on his arm Matt led her out a side door and onto a terrace.
"It's a few feet down we can make it. Here climb on my back." He turned to her and waited a sec for her to climb on to his back when she didn't he looked at her.
"No I'm not going to run. I just needed to tell you." Alexia sniffled and smiled not acknowledging the warm salty tears sliding down her pale cheeks. "I needed to tell you that I love you."
He began to speak and she pressed her fingers to his lips.
"I know I'm just a silly school girl. A teenager really. But I love you and I'll come back to you one way or another." She said to him trying to keep her voice from shaking. She leaned in and brushed her lips with his. His hands went around her waist and her arms around his shoulders and her hands placed on either side of his cheeks. He deepened the kiss and seconds later she gave him the softest of shoves and stepped back.
"I need to go." She turned away from him and walked back to the banquet. He watched with a mixture of emotions as she went. Her father gripped her arm so tight he thought a bone would break. His eyes followed her form until the crowd made them disappear. He shook with such a pain and rage that tore through him leaving no remains. A tear slipped and then another. Finally a sob broke out and he leaned over the balcony on the edge letting a sob slip out.
Alexia sat at the dull brown kitchen table exactly 2 weeks later. Her hair was still the same raven color and her eyes had lost most of her light. Her father was out attending to business while she sat at home tending to a recent black eye. Her legs ached and her back felt broken but some how she managed. Things were worse than ever from the moment she'd returned. Her father had a new house by the Insurance money and it was no better than before. It was nothing but a run-down shack. Her old home may have been a shack but it wasn't as bad as this one. Every other night she'd feel something crawl up her leg. She feared at times that it was the hand of her father. It would normally turn out to be a rat or some sort of insect. Her friends, Liz and Shaun had pointed around to each other and begun dating. She was happy for them but she missed Amy and Jeff. And only God knew how much her heart was breaking over Matt.
"I have to get out of here." Alexia whispered. She placed some ice over her eye and stood wincing more than twice. She limped over to her father's room. Inside was the only telephone in the house. She stepped over the threshold and picked up the phone by the door. She dialed the only number she knew by heart.
The phone rang several times and she grew impatient. She closed her eyes and bit her lips willing the person to pick up. Then her voice came over the phone and Alexia crumbled. She heard someone coming up the driveway and hung up the phone and shutting the door. She limped to the table but not quick enough. Her balding father waltzed through the door and glared at her. Then he smiled. She knew that smile. She loathed it from the deepest places of her very being. She backed up.
When her back hit the table she cried out in pain doubling over. He grabbed her by the hair yanking her up to look at him. That smile was still on his face and she began to sweat in fear. His large hand gripped her waist she expected it to hurt but when it didn't she looked at him cautiously. The dark fear consumed her again when he called out someone's name. She took one look at the man coming up beside her father and screamed hoarsely until a white towel clamped over her mouth and a fist hit her square in the jaw. Darkness was now her only friend and time was her enemy.
"Amy I need to talk to you." Jeff said coming upon Amy in the latest hotel they'd been transferred to.
"About what Jeffffffffff!?" Jeff planted his lips on hers and she cried out fighting for only a second before giving in and returning the kiss. When he pulled back she had millions of questions swarming in her mind. "What was that about?" She asked him her lips set in a grim line.
"Amy..Matt he just lost the girl he loved. He's miserable, and in so much pain. I don't want that to happen to me even though it already has." Jeff let words tumble from his mind and continued. "I love you. And I have been in pain for so long because you didn't know."
"Jeff..slow down where the hell is this coming from??" She peered into his eyes.
"Since I first saw you. It was the strangest thing I didn't want to fall in love. But when I did I felt so alive. And when you didn't fall in love too I couldn't breathe. It was as if I was being suffocated slowly and painfully. And I can't have that. I need you. Please be with me." Jeff finished quietly.
"Jeff.. I..I don't know."
MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
