Chapter 9

"Jeff stop smiling for like two minutes!" Amy protested

"He can't Aimes, its permently plastered on his face!" Matt teased his little brother

"But i wanna know what happened!!! Is Ally coming to see us later?"

"Amy why are you so desperate to see her?" Matt questioned

"Coz i like her and want to talk to her properly!"

"Oh! Will you be doing that talking while having erm lets say you hair and nails done?"

"oh shut up Matthew!" Amy said while flinging a pillow at him

Amy and Matt then went into a full blown pillow fight. Jeff however was sat on his bed thinking about the past twenty four hours. He found her! *i can't believe she's finally with me* But then he had a horrible thought. * What if she isn't with me? What if she runs away again?* Jeff was now starting to panic. Matt and Amy by now had burst the pillows and was now trying to turn each other into humun sized chickens!

"Guys"

"Guys"

"GUYS!!!!!!!!"

"What? are you ok?" Amy said while trying to stuff feathers down Matts shirt

Before Jeff could reply there was a knock on the door. Matt and Amy went back to their fight. Jeff sighed and went to answer the door, when he opened the door his heart tightened at the sight of Ally in tears.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I can't believe it" Zoë said from the sofa where she sat in shock

"I don't think any of us can Zo" Joei agreed

"Why not?" Everyone but Tj looked at Siân in shock "Well she's still Ally! Just because she used to be on tv a bit and dated some mega famous guy in a band and then fell for a wrestler doesn't mean she's not still the same girl we've known for the last six months"

"You know Siân that really just made it worse" Zoë argued

"SHUT UP!! didn't you see how upset she was? She thinks you all hate her now! Siân is right she is still the same girl thats lived here for six months it shouldn't make any difference what happened before she came here! NO actually it should! It should make you all see the hell she went through with Mark and how she must have felt! We should have more respect for the fact she picked herself up and carried on and as it seems i'm the only one that gives a damn about Ally and not the celebrities she is connected to i'm going after her!"

The six friends watched stunned as Tj charged out slamming the door behind him. Already knowing where his best friend would have gone Tj headed in the direction of the Hardy Boyz hotel.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Matt stop" Amy whispered spotting Jeff pulling Allysa into his arms

"What?' he whispered back

"Look"

Jeff wrapped his arms around Ally guessing that she had told her friends about her past and his involvement in it.

"Ssssh it's ok Ally"

"They hate me!" she sobbed

"I'm sure that's not true"

Before Ally replied she saw Matt and Amy sat in a pile of feathers trying to blend in with the rest of the room and couldn't help but smile at them when they both waved quickly and proceeded to run out of the room.

Jeff rolled his eyes at the pair and then directed Ally over to his bed where he sat her down on the end of it. When he sat next to her he wasn't expecting her to move closer to him and rest her head on his shoulder, Jeff slowly put his arm around her and softly kissed her forehead. Ally sighed

"What am i gonna do Jeff?"

"That depends on what you want to do! First of all what happened to upset you so much?"

"i guess just re-living it, then the way they looked at me when they realised that the other guy i was talking about was you"

"They're just shocked that's all! No one could ever hate you believe me"

"You're biast!" Ally looked up at Jeff and his heart melted, she looked so sad and so lost, he pulled her onto his lap

"Maybe i am but it's true, and like I told you before, you have me!"

"I'm so glad your back" Jeff smiled when she wrapped her arms around his neck and got comfy. He held her there and then remembered the thoughts he was having before she knocked on the door.

"Does this mean i've got you then?"

"I was yours the first time you met me Jeff"

Allysa thought Jeff was gonna burst he looked so happy, his smile was a mile wide as he wrapped her back up in his arms and hugged her like she was going to disappear at any second. She was still upset at the thought of losing her friends but now she knew that everything would be fine aslong as Jeff was with her.

Ally and Jeff were sat on the end of the hotel bed in a comfortable silence. Jeff was softly rubbing Allys back in a soothing gesture while she fiddled with a strand of his hair feeling completely safe for the first time in months. They were disturbed by a knock on the door, Jeff gently lifted Ally off his lap and went to answer the door. There he found a worried looking Tj.

"Um Hi" Tj said to Jeff

Jeff smiled "Come in Tj, Ally is right over there" he pointed to the bed, he then looked over to Ally "I'll be right next door in Matts room if you need me ok?"

Ally smiled a little and nodded "K" as Jeff left

"Are you ok Ally Cat?" "Do they hate me?"

Tj was expecting this and approached his best friend who was staring at the floor. He knelt in front of her and took hold of her shaking hands.

"No of course they don't! They're just shocked! Actually i think the Jeff thing shocked them more!"

"I'm sorry i didn't tell you"

Tj was rubbing his thumbs across the back of Allys hands, he knew that it calmed her down!

"I understand. But there's a reason why you didn't tell about Jeff isn't there?"

"Yeah! I didn't tell you because i know what you would have done"

"What would i have done?" Tj asked puzzled

"If i had told you everything you would have made me contact him"

Tj wasn't quite understanding what Ally meant but before he could question her she changed the subject.

" I understand that you guys will want me to leave now and...." Tj cut her off

"Ally none of us want you to leave. It will take them a while to get used to i guess but they would never want you to leave! Especially me! I'd be lost without you Ally cat"

"I lied to them Tj! They won't forget that" Tj sighed * god she can be so single minded*

"You listen to me! You did what was right for you and once they've had time to take it all in they will realise that! Ally you've done nothing wrong, And i don't care what you think i'm telling you now, they won't want you to leave and if you tried to leave i wouldn't let you!"

"Ally raised her eyes to meet Tj's "Why wouldn't you?'

"Because your my best friend"

"I've lied to you! I'm not exactly a good friend!"

"Who is it that listens to me complain about anything and everything? Who is it that covers for me at work when i'm always late? Who is it that stays in watching movies with me when everyone else goes out? Who is it that always gives me her honest opioion and helps me with my problems? And who is it that knows me better than anyone?" When Ally didn't reply Tj continued

"I've never known anyone like you! And you haven't lied to me, not as far as i'm concerned"

Ally smiled and watched as Tj's thumbs traced the back of her hands, it amazed her how this small gesture could calm her down.

"Thankyou" she whispered

"No problem! Your like my little sister Ally cat and you know i've always wanted a sister!"

Ally looked shocked, she had no idea he thought of her that way. She looked at him smiling

"You really think of me like that?"

"Yeah and i love you to bits!" Tj smiled when Ally started to cry tears of happiness. He hugged her tightly knowing that things would be ok, he decided to question her about her earlier comment.

"Why would I have made you contact Jeff if you had told me everything?"

Still hugging her friend Ally replied " Because i know you"

"So tell me now"

"What?"

"Tell me the whole story now!"

Ally pulled away and sighed "He changed my life Tj"

"How?"

"I was so insecure! I hated the attention that i got and i would do my best to hide from it all! I'd get abuse from jealous fans and i'd constantly think that i wasn't good enough, Mark never made me feel any better! Then in walks Jeff!" Ally smiled at the thought

"I'm confused! Why would that have made me make you contact him?"

"Because he changed all that. He made me see that i could be whoever i wanted to be. That it didn't matter what people would think of me! He saved me that day Tj, if he wasn't there i would have never left"

"I wouldn't have made you contact him cos of that!" Tj declared

Ally smacked him on the head "OW! Hey!!"

Giggling Ally teased " I wasn't finished blondie!!" Tj just pouted so Ally continued "When he asked me to go to North Carolina with him I wanted to!"

"What?" Tj was shocked "I never thought you wanted to go with him?"

Ally smiled "Well i did! But i knew i had to do something for myself. Tj i was so upset and regretted it so much leaving him at that airport! I loved him! I think i still do!"

Completely stunned Tj replied "You're right! I would've made you contact him!"

"What happens now?" Ally asked as a tear slid down her cheek "he's gonna be leaving in a few days and that will be it!"

Tj put his arm round her shoulders and ally rested her chin on his shoulder "You talk to Jeff about it! Oh and your staying here tonight! No Argueing!"

"But...."

Getting up Tj interrupted " I said no argueing see ya tomorrow Ally Cat!!"

Before Ally could protest Tj had gone out the door leaving Allysa alone in Jeff Hardys hotel room.

Chapter 10

Amy entered Matts hotel room. Matt was sprawled along the bottom of the big double bed watching t.v while Jeff was sat at the head of the bed munching on skittles. Amy noticed that Jeff seemed a little worried which was unusual for Jeff.

"What's up Jeff?" she asked while sitting next to him on the bed.

"Nothing! Why?"

"You looked worried! And i don't believe nothing is wrong!"

Jeff sighed "Ok! It's Ally"

"What about her?" Amy asked worried

"What happens when we leave Aimes?"

"I don't know what you mean"

"I'll leave and then what happens? What if she runs again?" Jeff threw a skittle into his mouth.

Amy didn't know what to say, she hadn't really thought that way or thought that Ally running away again was a possibility but she guessed it was.

"Talk to her! Ask her what she wants to do. It's the only way you'll work things out!" Matt offered never taking his eyes off the television.

"He's right! You need to talk" Amy agreed while stealing some skittles! Jeff didn't even notice, he was to deep in thought.

"Where is Ally anyway?" Amy asked

Matt muttered "Jeffs room! Talking to Tj"

As Amy nodded someone knocked on the door. Jeff answered. Matt and Amy looked over to Tj who was at the otherside of the door.

"She's all yours Jeff" he stated

Jeff smiled he liked that thought " Is she ok?'

"She will be once she's spent some time with you!"

Matt and Amy were grinning like chesire cats at Tj's comments when he noticed them "hey guys"

"Hey" they replied in unison

"Well i'm gonna go! Oh and i've told Ally to stay with you tonight Jeff" Jeff looked shocked as Tj smiled " It will do both of you good! Plus it gives the other guys time to get their heads round everything"

Grinning Jeff said "thanks Tj"

"No problem! See y'all later" with that Tj set off home

Jeff turned to his brother and Amy, "I guess i'll go talk to Ally then"

"Good luck " Amy threw another skittles packet at Jeff

"It'll work out bro"

*I hope so* Jeff thought. He smiled and left. He walked to the next room, *please don't run! please don't run* He took a deep breath before entering his room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Zoë, Liz, Siân, Joei, Jo and Andy watched nervously as Tj came through the door. Alone. Since he had yelled at them earlier they had all become worried about Allysa.

"Um... Where's Ally?" Jo asked quietly afraid she may get her head chewed off.

"She's with Jeff!" he replied simply

The others exchanged looks, not quite knowing what to think. Tj noticing this sighed and flopped down on one of the sofas in between Joei and Jo.

"Ally and I talked, and right now, she should be with Jeff!"

"But why? Are they that close?" Zoë asked

Tj smiled, confusing the others "Yeah! I think they are!"

Siân then asked something that had been playing on all their minds " Does she really think we hate her?"

Everyone looked worried as Tj looked at them all "She thought you would all want her to leave!"

"WHAT!!!!" they all shouted simultaneously.

Tj nodded " I think i convinced her otherwise" Joei rested her head on Tj's shoulder, while Liz and Siân did the same on Andy. Jo was biting her nails, a sign she was worried, and Zoë was sat on the floor looking at a magazine article about Ally leaving Mark and snorting at the parts she now knew weren't true.

"Why do you think she should be with Jeff and not here?" Andy asked

"Firstly, i don't think any of you have your heads round this yet, so you wouldn't know what to say to her would you?" the others shrugged so Tj continued "And secondly, they've been apart too long!!"

"I'm really not understanding this!" Zoë whispered

"What is it that you are not understanding?" Liz asked

"I understand that she is Sally Owens....."

"No! She's Allysa!!!" Siân interrupted

" I know! I mean i know that's who she was and i understand what happened with Mark, but i don't understand the Jeff thing! It's not like they know each other very well. Is it?"

"Guys i don't know how well they know each other! But i know what Ally has told me and how Jeff looks when all you do is say her name! They should be together!!" Tj told the group

"Marks a weasel!!!" Jo added

Tj laughed as everyone else added their opinion on what Mark should be called. "Well you got your heads round that quicker than i thought!"

"It's not getting our head round the fact that Mark is evil toad! It's Allys relationship with Jeff" Liz stated

"Well thats down to Ally to tell you, but lets just say he changed her way of thinking!"

"From what i've heard i would bet he changed her life!" Zoë said

Everyone looked at Tj for confirmation of this statement! He just smiled. The friends then relaxed a little knowing their friend was where she should be.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Allysa was sat where Tj had left her when Jeff entered the room. Turning his back to Ally he closed the door and rested his forhead against it. Ally watched him worried "Are you ok?"

"Yeah, just thinking"

"What about?"

"You!"

"Oh?" Jeff turned to face her and with his arms folded leant with his back against the door. "What happens when I leave New York?"

Ally paled " I don't know! What do you want to happen?" Ally was becoming scared.

Jeff sighed and approached the bed, he sat down next to Allysa, he noticed that she moved away from him a little, this surprised and frightened him so he instantly reached for her hand afraid she would run, eventually she caustiously took hold of his hand. Jeff smiled " I don't know whats going to happen Ally. All I know is that I want you and I won't let you go!"

Relaxing somewhat Ally replied "Then lets not think about it for now"

"Fine by me! You want some skittles?" Allysa laughed as Jeff pulled a packet of their favourite candy from his pocket.

The couple spent the night telling each other what they had been doing during their time apart. Jeff telling Ally about the places he had been and stories about Matt, Amy, Shannon, Shane and the rest of his friends. Ally telling stories about the things Tj and the rest of her friends would get upto. This continued for hours until finally Ally yawned.

"Wow it's four am! You should get some sleep"

"So should you Jeff"

"How well do you sleep now?" Ally was amazed he remembered her sleeping problems *he's too good to be true* She also knew that she couldn't hide them from him like she did her friends or lie about them to him.

"Sometimes i'm ok, but mostly i still struggle to get more than a few hours sleep"

Jeff was now rooting through a drawer, he pulled out the biggest t-shirt he could find and passed it to Ally. "Here you can sleep in this, and i will sleep once i know you are asleep, ok?" Jeff couldn't help but smile as he watched her face, she didn't seem to understand why he would do that for her, finally she smiled at him.

"Ok"

Jeff pulled off his shirt as Ally disappeared into the bathroom. He was already in bed when she reappeared. Jeffs jaw dropped and his heart started to beat faster, he remembered that he loved her long legs but now she looked stunning, the t-shirt stopped at the top of her thighs and it made her legs look even longer. *i've died and gone to heaven*

"What are you staring at?" Ally asked while attempting to pull the t-shirt further down

"I didn't realise anyone could make a t-shirt look so good!"

Quickly Ally jumped into bed while Jeff continued to stare. Ally then realised since she left Mark she had still been self conscious with people yet here with Jeff she wasn't.

"Jeff stop staring!!!"

"Sorry can't help it" Jeff grinned. He could help it but he was still getting used to the fact that she was there and didn't want to take his eyes off her incase she disappeared. He put his arm out for her and she took the invitation to snuggle upto him.

"Get some sleep Ally" Jeff said softly as she rested her head on his chest.

"K! Night Jeff and thankyou" Jeff rested his hand from the arm that was round her on her hip and pulled her as close to him as he could get her.

"What for?"

"For being here" was Allys sleepy reply

"I always will be" Jeff kissed her forehead "Night Ally"

Jeff lay awake until he knew Ally was sleeping before drifting off to sleep, not quite believing that Allysa would still be there when he wakes up.
