So who was she then? 22 year old Janey Smith was just a small time girl from a small time place in North Carolina. Nothing really that special about her, just a quiet little thing that kept herself to herself. She had a plain and simple life and did plain and simple things- just the way she liked it. She had a small house in Cameron, which she shared with her friend Rachel that she had known since there first day of school, not too far away from where her parents lived.
On a Friday afternoon Janey worked her shift at the local supermarket, just as she always did, just like on Mondays and just like on Tuesdays. You would usually find her in there either stacking shelves or serving the customers.
"Janey!"
The small dainty young women turned around on her heels, distracting her from her shelf stacking was Matt Hardy, "Hey Matt…" she greeted with a smile.
Although Cameron was just a small place it was home to WWE wrestler Matt Hardy and his brother Jeff who was in some other wrestling company, she didn't know which one, in fact a lot of there friend were also wrestlers. Janey didn't know any of them but had made friends with Matt while at work one time. When ever the elder Hardy would come in to the shop he'd make a habit of stopping and talking to her and flirting of course.
"Aww you aren't workin' the register today? I was hoping for a discount on all of this." He joked, with a huge grin across his face, just like he always has.
She noticed all of his friends with him with two shopping trolleys full of alcohol and food. "You guys havin a party or somethin'?"
"Yup today is my birthday so we're having a huge party at my house to celebrate."
"Oh really, well happy birthday Matt."
"You're more than welcome to come you know…"
"Aww I dunno." She replied, shying away and getting back to her shelf stacking.
"Oh come on you have too it's my birthday after all. Hey what time do you get off?" he asked, not giving up on this.
"At about seven-ish."
"Well come after that then… please, then you can give me that birthday kiss you've always wanted to give me!" he joked, making Janey smile.
"Janey will you stop gossiping and get back to work please!" her boss yelled noticing her being distracted by a group of guys.
"You always get me into trouble Matt Hardy!" she laughed, turning to get back to work.
"I know, you know that's the only reason I come in here, too get you into trouble with your boss!" he laughed, "Anyway I'll see you at mine then later…" he said, not allowing her to give an answer back. Before she could even try to decline his offer he had already disappeared to the other end of the shop.
"Do you always flirt with ever girl you see Matt?" one of his friends laughed as they all carried on around the store.
Janey finished her shift at 7:05, clocked out and then was home by 7:45, she couldn't wait to get home and get in the bath and just have a nice relaxing night watching movies.
"Janey is that you?" she heard Rachel yell from somewhere in their house.
"Yeah it's me I'm home!"
"Well you gotta go out again…" she told Janey in a panic running to the door to meet her just as Janey was taking off her shoes.
"What why?"
"Because Dave is around and I think we'll be going up to bed soon…" Rachel whispered with a sly grin on her face. It was obvious of what they'd be doing.
"What Rach again! I had so stay out of the house all night on Wednesday; can't you go back to his place or something?"
"No we can't, please Jay, please do this for me I'll be your bestest friend forever." She begged, practically on her hands and knees.
"We already are best friends…" Janey sighed.
"Please…"
She sighed again and gave Rachel the look of death, "Fine… but you own me Rachel Smith, you own me big time."
"Oh thankyou, thankyou, thankyou…" her friend squealed, flinging her arms around her.
"I'm going to change first though, is that okay with you?" she asked sarcastically.
"Thankyou…" she said again before heading off to tell Dave the news.
"Hi Dave!" Janey yelled as she slowly headed up the stairs.
Rachel was always doing this, she had a new boyfriend every month or so and the first couple of weeks were always the worst. She'd bring them back to the house after nights out and have noisy sex right in the room next to her.
Rachel had met this guy last weekend and had thrown Janey out of the house twice this week already. Usually she'd just go around to her parents for dinner or something, maybe spend the night there depending on what Rachel would ask of her. But tonight though she knew that her parents were out of town, visiting relatives or something like that.
Janey decide on something that was totally unlike her, he went and changed then decided to head of to the party at the Hardy house. Usually Rachel would have to drag her out to do something like that, but tonight she had no option… she'd rather do that instead of wonder the streets by herself for hours.
She had to change from her work clothes and be ready as quickly as she could; she knew that at any second Rachel would be yelling up the stairs at her to hurry up. It gave her literally only seconds to decide on what to wear, eventually settling with a pair a skinny, tight ass jeans, black boots over the top and a plain black vest. She had to quickly do her hair, quickly do her make-up, grab her keys and then leave. She'd been hard at work all day and was dying for something to eat but decided against getting anything from the kitchen incase she walked in on something, so she just left and slammed the door shut behind her.
It wasn't too far from her own house to Matt's, she had never been there before but knew where it was, it was just probably a little over a mile.
It was definitely not hard to miss Matt's house once she'd arrived, it was totally jumping. Cars were parked all down the street and all about the drive way, fairy lights were hanging from the trees and candles were lit about all over the place. The music was thumping along loudly and the loud voices made it sound as though the whole of North Carolina was in Matt's yard.
Janey made her way through the crowds of people and began her search for Matt.
"Hello there Janey." A cheer familiar voice said, stopping her.
Turning around she noticed that she had wondered straight by Mr. Hardy, Matt's father. "Hey Mr. Hardy how are you?"
Gil Hardy was the father of Matt and Jeff Hardy, once again Janey knew him through working at the shop, Gil would only go in on the days that she was working so that they could chat.
"I'm alright darlin' I didn't expect to see you here."
"Yeah I bumped into Matt earlier and told me to come down, I had no idea there'd be some many people here!" she laughed as she took a second to look around.
"No me neither,"
"I don't suppose you know where Matt is do you, its just I'm gonna be wondering around here all night unless I get some help."
"I haven't seen him in a while kiddo but if want to come with me then I'm sure I can help you." She agreed and they continued the search together. "Hey Jeff…"
"Yeah Dad what is it?" Jeff asked as we met him coming down the stairs inside the house.
"This young lady here is trying to find that brother of yours; do you have any idea of where he may be?"
"Nope sorry Dad…" he told him, noticing Janey standing next to his father he immediately switched his attention to her. "Hi…"
"Hey," she replied smiling back.
"Well Janey here is trying to find him."
"You're trying to find my brother?" Jeff asked curiously by now totally forgetting his father was even there.
"Yeah he asked me to stop by, so here I am but then there's no Matt. I think I'm gonna give up though, I'll just stick with your Dad I think, I don't know anyone else here so I feel like a bit of an ass."
"Hey it's alright, come with me and I'll find him I think I can do a better job." He grinned. "Don't worry Dad I'll take over…" And once again I began my search as Jeff led the way and I followed.
"We aren't getting very far with this are we?" Janey laughed, she and Jeff had been looking for ages now.
"No I guess we're not. Giving up time I think, lets go and get a drink…"
"Yeah alright then." She agreed as they leaded over to the drinks table.
"Besides if I know my brother, I'm sure there'll be more chance of bumping into him here." Jeff laughed, handing Janey a beer. "Is that alright for you?"
"Oh yeah that's perfect thankyou."
"So your names Janey then right?"
"Yup that's right."
"So how do you know my brother then?"
"Erm I guess we don't know each other well, he just stops by where I work sometimes and always makes time to talk to me. Your brothers a really nice guy."
"Yep well I think so too." He agreed with smile spread across his face. "So you came her alone then?" he asked, taking a sip from his bottle of beer.
"Yup… kind of sad though huh? Coming to a party all by my self."
"I don't think it is…"
"Hey Janey you made it!" Matt suddenly yelled.
"Yeah hey you, I've been looking for you!" Janey replied laughing as Matt stumbled his way over to her. "Oh my God how much have you been drinking?" she laughed.
"So you've come to give me my birthday kiss then have you?"
"Err no I came to have a 'birthday' drink with you." She replied, taking at bottle from the table and giving it to him in hopes of moving away from this whole kissing business."
"Cheers…" Matt slurred, holding up his drink.
"Cheers Matt, happy birthday."
