Blast From The Past

AJ gently rubbed Alexis' arm and held the ring ropes open for her. She jumped out quickly. If it wasn't for AJ being in the ring she would've ran the whole way back to Seattle.

Jeff didn't look at either AJ or Alexis. He seemed to be in some kind of weird zone.

The match started with Jeff Hardy and Monty Brown in the ring. Jeff wasn't doing all too well. But the match progressed and eventually it was AJ against Abyss. Let's just say that AJ had a slight height and weight disadvantage but that didn't seem to slow him down one bit.

It wasn't until ten minutes later that Alexis became worried. AJ was down in the corner and Monty Brown had made the desperation tag to Jeff Jarrett. Jeff entered the ring and went after AJ. AJ must've dug down deep because he managed to get Jeff off of him long enough for his teammates to join him in the ring. Once Jeff Hardy and Lance Hoyt were both in the ring they cleared house.

First Jeff Hardy threw Abyss out of the ring, then Lance Hoyt threw Monty Brown out of the ring and finally AJ whipped Jeff Jarrett out of the ring and into the steel guard rail. You could hear screams when AJ flew over the top rope and landed on Jeff Jarrett. Jeff Hardy quickly followed up and landed on Abyss. Lance Hoyt was not so successful. He tried the suicide dive but ended up diving too far and hitting his head on the floor.

As the match proceeded everyone was beating everyone. But when AJ went to the top rope to hit the Spiral Tap on Jeff Jarrett Christopher Daniels ran down the ramp and grabbed AJ's ankle causing him to fall. Jeff Jarrett was going to attempt the Stroke but Monty Brown hit the Pounce first. Either way, Jeff Jarrett got the one-two-three.

"You want ice or anything?" Alexis asked as AJ held his neck.

"I want sleep," AJ said slowly walking up the stairs.

"Okay," Alexis said following him.

She quickly snuck past him into the bedroom and pulled the covers back on the bed. He threw his shirt off and flopped into the bed. Gently, Alexis undid his pants.

"Kick 'em off," she said. Once he had she shut the light off.

He rolled onto his stomach but was in obvious discomfort. Alexis crawled into the bed beside him and started to rub his neck. He relaxed immensely. She continued to massage his neck and back until she noticed his breathing was deeper and more rhythmic.

She laid down beside him and ran her fingers up and down his back.

AJ woke up and looked at the clock. Three twenty-two. His arm moved around trying to find Alexis but she was nowhere to be found. He sat up and looked around.

"Lexi?" He asked thinking maybe he just didn't see her. "Lexi? Where are you?"

When there was no reply he got out of bed and walked downstairs. The television was on and someone was sitting on the couch. He immediately knew that it was Alexis.

"Baby, come to bed," he said sitting down beside her. He kissed her arm. She didn't say anything. "C'mon babe, you're gonna hurt your neck if you lie here all night."

Then he heard a muffled response followed by a gasp.

"Lexi?" AJ asked concerned. "What's wrong?"

When Alexis wouldn't looked at AJ he powerfully turned her around. Her face was red and tear stained.

"What's wrong?" AJ asked looking at her. She was trembling and struggling with her breathing. "Baby, what's wrong?"

Without replying Alexis threw herself at AJ. He caught her and held her close to him. He ran his fingers through her hair and waited patiently as she calmed down. When she finally calmed down he decided that he would ask again.

"Gonna tell me what's wrong?" AJ asked.

"I couldn't sleep," Alexis said. "So I came down here to watch TV and I started to think about when we first met and first started going out."

"And that made you cry?" AJ asked.

Alexis shook her head.

"I was crying because of how my mother abandoned me. She never even called. She kept my brother but threw me away like a piece of trash that fell on the floor," Alexis said.

"She was a drug addict Lexi, she didn't know what she was doing, all she was worried about was her next hit," AJ said trying to console her.

"That's not the whole reason," Alexis said wiping away more tears. "I started crying even harder when I noticed how you were always there for me. There wasn't a time when you ever ran away from a problem that I had. You were always there to hold me when I cried."

"And I'd do it all over again if you needed me to," AJ said holding her close to himself.

"Why would you want to do that?" Alexis asked him.

"Because I ended up with the girl," AJ said kissing her.

She tried to stop crying but it wasn't that easy. AJ continued to rub her arms, kiss her and whisper in her ear.

"I think you're just tired and confused," he said and bent down. He picked her up easily and walked up the stairs.

"I love you so much," Alexis said hugging him tighter.

"I love you too girl," AJ said getting a better grip on her.

He pulled the covers back and then placed her in the bed. He crawled in behind her and she turned around.

"Do you think he still wants to hurt you?" Alexis asked.

"Nah," AJ said gently kissing her. "Hopefully he just wants his career back."

"But Laura said that he was in prison," Alexis said.

"Shh…" AJ said wiping a new tear away. "You're getting yourself worked up again. Just calm down and go to sleep."

"I'm too scared to sleep," Alexis said.

"Baby," AJ said wrapping his arms around her. "You're safe when you're with me. I'd never let anyone hurt you."

"So if he's supposed to be in prison then what is he doing in Orlando?" AJ asked Laura.

"He's out on good behavior," Laura said.

"And they let him move to Orlando?" AJ asked.

"Because it's what he knows," Laura replied. "So he can stay out of trouble and try to get his life back on track."

"Did you know about this?" He asked.

"I knew nothing about it," she replied. "I was talking to him last night."

"Lovely," AJ said. "Why don't we invite him over for tea and crumpets?"

"Calm down man," Petey said to AJ. "We didn't know anything."

"How convenient," AJ said rolling his eyes.

"What is your problem?" Petey asked getting loud.

"Shut up, I don't want her waking up," AJ said taking a deep breath. "What the fuck am I supposed to do now?"

"Stick it out," Laura said. "You're in the X Division he's in the Heavyweight."

"How can I feel safe leaving Lexi alone when I know that that bastard is in the same city?" AJ asked her.

"Why are you so mad at her?" Petey asked.

"Stay out of it," AJ said to Petey.

"Excuse me?" Petey said.

"In other words go stick your dick in an electric pencil sharpener," AJ said to him. Then he smiled. "It'll probably fit in there with room to spare."

"Oh no you didn't," Petey said and lunged at AJ.
