Alyssa was born six months before the cancer killed their mother.
Alyssa Hardy watched as her brothers' won the tag team titles. She raced to the ring after the match hugging both Matt and Jeff at the same time. "I'm so proud of you!" She told them. "Thanks Lys." Matt said and kissed her cheek. "Yeah Lys, thanks." Jeff said doing the same. Being just seventeen Alyssa was always the overprotected little sister. Matt, being eleven and a half years older, had pretty much raised her after their mother died.
"Matthew Moore Hardy, you better let me pay for dinner tonight, it's my treat!" Lys scolded her brother while they were in their motel room. "Yes, Alyssa Jo Hardy." Matt said and laughed. "When we get home I say we take a trip into Charleston and visit the old exchange building again." She told Jeff. "Lyssa, we've been there a hundred times!" Jeff said laughing. "Come on Jeff, you know you never get tired of it." Lys said giving him her best puppy dog face. "Brat, you know that always works." Jeff said and tickled her. "I know, that's why I do it." She said punching him in the arm. "Ow, Matt she hit me." Jeff faked a pout. "You two are as bad as a couple of little kids." Matt said. "Yeah, but you know you love us." Lyssa told him smiling. "Unfortunately." Matt said and Lyssa punched him. "Hey brat!" He said and he and Jeff looked at each other and Jeff speared her onto the bed. Both older Hardy's then began tickling her unmercifally. "Matty stop! Jeffy!" She screeched as they tickled her. They stopped and she swore to get them back.
After they left Pittsburgh they were glad when the plane landed in Charlotte. Matt got a rental car and they began the trip home. Halfway there Lyssa noticed that Jeff was out cold. "Lightweight." She teased as she rested her head against the seat. Matt looked back a few minutes later to see she was sound asleep. "Lightweight." He teased and pulled into Cameron. He drove expertly to his house, he'd call their dad and let him know Lyssa was staying there tonight.
When he pulled in he woke Jeff up and went around and picked Lyssa up. The girl was in a dead sleep and Matt knew from experience she'd be out the rest of the night. He carried her to the door and Jeff unlocked it punching in the code for the alarm. He carried her to the guest room and laid her in bed, after tucking her in he placed a kiss on her forehead and left the room. Then he helped Jeff unload the bags from the car. When they went inside for the night he called Gil to let him know they were there, and that Lyssa was sleeping. "Matt, you spoil that girl." Gil Hardy told his son. "Yeah well, I'm her older brother, I'm allowed." Matt said knowing his dad was joking. "Tell her to call me in the morning." Gil told Matt before Matt handed the phone to Jeff.
"Hey dad, yeah it was great, I know, ok, ok, yeah, love you too, bye." Jeff said and hung up. "You two need to work on talking." Matt told him. "It's not my fault he can't accept the way I am." Jeff said. Just then Liger and Mason came running in and both jumped on their prospective owners. "Hey boy, I missed you." Jeff told Liger who was busy licking his face. Just then an ear piercing scream could be heard throughout the house. "MAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTT!" Lyssa screamed. Both Hardy's went running to the guestroom. "Hey Lyssie, sweety what is it?" Matt asked worried. "There was someone at the window!" She whimpered. Matt went to look telling Jeff to stay with Lys. Jeff went and wrapped her into his arms. She hugged him tightly. Matt came in a few minutes later dragging Shannon Moore with him. "Sorry Lys, didn't mean to scare you." Shannon told her. "You asshole, you scared the fuck out of me!" She yelled. "ALYSSA!" Matt and Jeff yelled at the same time. "Oh can it." She told them. "If ya'll don't mind, I'd like to go back to sleep." She told them aggitated. "Sure baby, night." They said. It was common for them to call her baby, and she liked it.
The next morning Lyssa went downstairs for breakfast. "Shannon Brian Moore if you ever scare me like that again you'll be missing a few parts!" She told her brother's best friend. "Sorry about that baby, thought you were Jeff." He told her getting a punch in response. "Gee, thanks, since when did I become skittles?" She asked referring to her brother. "Don't call me that!" Jeff moaned. "I always call you skittles Jeffy." She said using her baby name for him. "Well quit." He teased ruffling her hair and getting a smack on the arm. Matt in the meantime was cooking enough food for an army.
After they ate Lyssa called her dad. "Hey daddy, how are ya." She said happily. "I'm fine Lyssie, listen, I was wondering how you'd feel about moving in with Matt?" Gil asked her. "Trying to get rid of me?" Lyssa asked teasing. "No, it's just, I'm sick honey." Gil said and Alyssa felt her heart break. "What do you mean sick?" She asked carefully. "Sick like Mama honey." He said with tears in his eyes. "No, no, no!." Lyssa yelled. "Do Matt and Jeff know?" She asked. "Matt does, I don't know if he told Jeff yet." Gil told her honestly. "Why didn't you tell me?" She asked with tears streaming down her face. "Oh honey, I didn't want to ruin your summer." Gil told her. "How long?" She asked. "Three months, at least that's what they say." Gil said tears falling freely. "Damn you, I can't lose you too!" Alyssa yelled and slammed the phone down running out the front door. "Lyssa!" Matt yelled after her. "What's wrong?" Jeff asked. "Dad told her." Matt said. "Damn him." Jeff yelled and ran after Alyssa, who was sitting in Matt's car crying. "Baby, talk to me." Jeff said worried. "I can't lose him Jeffy I can't!" She wailed and Jeff scooped her up and held her. "You'll still have us baby, I promise." Jeff said as she cried. Matt came out and immediately Alyssa flew into his arms. It wasn't a dis to Jeff, she'd just always grown up with Matt being her big protector, the same as Jeff had. Matt, Jeff, and Alyssa held each other tightly as they all cried.
Three Months Later:
Gilbert Hardy passed away due to Lung Cancer, and Matt became Alyssa's legal guardian. Since she was turning eighteen in six months he was really only her guardian for legal purposes. She had graduated High School early and was working in a day care center for extra cash. She wanted to become a valet for her brothers' but Matt told her no. "Why not!" She yelled at him. "Because, you have to be eighteen to do it." Matt told her. "So, you're my guardian, give consent." She said. "No Alyssa, when you're eighteen fine, until then no." Matt said firmly. "You're an ass Matthew Hardy and I hate you!" She yelled and ran to her room.
Jeff followed her trying to talk to her. "Damn him Jeff, he's such a jackass." Lyssa told her brother. "Lyssie, he's just doing what he thinks is right." Jeff told her. "This isn't fair, first I lose daddy, then Matt acts like he's god!" She yelled at him. "Lyssa, we lost dad too." Jeff pointed out. "What'd I do to deserve this?" She asked Jeff suddenly. "First Mama, now Daddy, am I gonna lose you two too?" She asked him starting to cry. "You aren't gonna lose us baby, not for a long time." Jeff told her. "Look at me peanut, this is not your fault, you didn't cause dad's death, or Mama's." Matt said coming in. "Then why does it feel like I did?" She asked him. "I don't know baby, but I promise, this isn't your fault." Matt told her and scooped her up like she was five all over again hugging her tightly.
