Summary: Faith's cell has been off; the normally cool big brother Jeff is freaking out. It doesn't't help any when Matt comes into the picture. Wait until they see Faith. And how will they take it now that Faith is with John? Will they be welcoming? Guess you'll have to read to find out.

Hope you like this chapter!

Lily and Faith's hotel room

It was 10:30 and Lily's cell phone was going off nonstop. She groaned, then smiled when she saw the caller id.

" Hey. Miss me already?" she asking, grinning.

" Hi baby. No.. well, yes. But that's not why I'm calling you. Can you do me a favor and wake my sister up for me? I've called her three times last night and twice this morning but she has it off," he explained.

" Sure, but why do you need to talk to her so bad?" she wondered, getting out of bed but not looking at the bed next to hers.

" She's my sister. And we didn't get to gossip last night," Jeff told her honestly. It's what he and Faith always did when they had a date, good or bad. They'd call each other and give every detail, except for if it got dirty. Well more so him, seeing how she was saving herself for marriage; a fact that made him and Matt proud.

Lily laughed softly to herself. She made a mental note to ask Faith later what Jeff said about her.

" Sure. Hold on," she said. Lily got a good look at the bed then gasped, remembering Faith never came home.

She looked around for a note, since Faith always left a note, but couldn't't find one.

Damn, I should've called her, she told herself, Shit, what do I tell Jeff?

" Uh, Jeff, promise you won't flip out?" she asked, closing her eyes and preparing for the worst.

" Lils, where is my sister?" he asked, going into big brother mode. He usually left Matt to that role, but something in Lily's voice didn't sit well with him.

" Well, its kind of a long story and part I really don't know. Faith kinda walked out last night and never called me or anyone for that matter. We haven't heard from her and she's not here," she explained nervously.

Jeff breathed in and out, trying to calm down. " Her cell's not on. I'll call Matt and ask him if he's heard from her," he said.

" OK. Call me and let me know what you know."

" Yeah, I will. Bye babe," he told her, flipping his cell shut, not waiting for a reply from Lily.

Jeff dialed Matt's cell.

Matt picked up by the third ring.

Matt's hotel room

Matt woke up to his cell buzzing next to him. Charity woke up, annoyed.

" Matt! Answer your damn cell," she told him grumpily.

Matt glared at his girlfriend then at his cell.

" This better be good, Jeff," he told him, sitting up in the bed, " Wait, what? Dude, slow down."

Charity looked at Matt, hearing his voice.

" I called her last night, but her cell was off. Oh, you too? Damn! OK, calm down. I'll call Randy, alright? He'd know, if anyone. Alright, see ya. Call Lily back. Bye!"

Matt closed his phone then looked at Charity, who gave him a question look.

" Hold on."

With that, he called Randy. If anyone could find her, it'd be him.

" Yo Randy. Where is she?"

Randy was annoyed. Who the hell called Randy Keith Orton at 10:30 am on a fucking Saturday?

Candice was lucky; she could sleep through anything. It took him all of three minutes to figure out it was Faith that Matt was referring to. He was seriously going to bitch at that girl when he saw her. Best friend or not, he needed his sleep.

" How the hell should I know? You know, you should put a bell on that woman or, hell, a shock collar. That way whenever she gets out of line, we can zap," Randy told him, annoyed.

" Dude, we can't find her. You're the next best bet."

" Shit. Well.. try Cena, he might know," Randy answered.

" Why would Cena know? And can't you ask him? You're roommates with him after all."

" I'm not there. I'm with Candice. But if it makes you feel better, I'll go and check."

" Yeah, that would actually," Matt accepted.

" Alright. Well, in that case, I'll call you when I find her," Randy told him as he got out of bed.

With that said, Randy hung up his cell. He looked at Candice and smiled; she was still fast asleep. She looked so peaceful and happy. He envied her, wishing it could be him asleep.

Faith's gonna get it, he told himself.

After writing a note for Candice, he got dressed and made his way to Randy's room.

Randy and John's hotel room

10:45 am

Randy walked in and saw John holding someone. He smiled, knowing it was Faith. Hell, her purple tips kinda gave it away. He then became mad.

" I got up for this?" he asked himself aloud.

Then he yelled.

" CENA! HARDY! GET YOUR ASSES UP NOW!"

John and Faith both jumped up. John glared at him while Faith just stared at him.

" Damn, dawg. What's up your ass?" John asked, obviously pissed off.

" I already told you; a nice pointy stick," Faith reminded him. She didn't get any sleep; she was tossing and turning.

" Oh don't get me started.. Wait, what happened to you?" Randy asked, seeing her face clearly for the first time.

Faith looked at John, as if asking him for some help. John shied, knowing full well it was going to be a long day.

" Randy, man, maybe you should sit down. This might take a while. No, better than that, I'll tell you out in the hall," John said, getting out of bed.

Randy only stared at his best friend, who looked down at the bed. She'd stare at anything but at Randy's face.

" Fine," Randy agreed, following John out to the hallway.

Randy stared at John, not saying a word. He felt bad for yelling at Faith, but how was he supposed to know? Damn, that shock collar would come in handy right about now.

" So.. Are we just going to look at each other or what?" Randy asked, waiting impatiently for answers.

John took a deep breath. " I'm going to keep it simple. Faith had a little too much to drink. Kennedy showed up, messed with her, wouldn't leave her alone. Then after all of that, he dragged her to his truck and beat her until she looked like she does now. He tried to rape her bro," John laid it out gently to him.

Randy took a step back from John. His face was pale and he looked like he was in shock. Randy rushed passed John, going back into the hotel room. John didn't know what he was doing, so he followed, afraid of what would happen next.

Faith looked up to see Randy rush in with a worried look on his face. He quickly made it over to her, then pulled her into his arms. Faith melted right into them. Randy rocked her back and forth, muttering how sorry he was.

John just stared at the two best friends. Oh yeah, this was going to be a long day alright.

An hour later, after both John and Faith were dressed and ready to talk, Jeff, Matt, Lily, Charity, and Candice walked in. All five of them were worried for the youngest Hardy.

Jeff and Matt both rushed to their sister as soon as they saw her. Randy and John went to where the girls were waiting while the Hardy siblings hugged like they were never letting go.

All Randy said was that he found Faith and she was ok, but they needed to come over asap.

Lily gasped, feeling guilt rush over her. Charity only stared at Faith, not sure what to do. Candice, well.. she had a feeling all hell was about to break loose.

Kennedy was in a whole world of trouble and no one would stop these guys.

AN: I'll leave it there for now. Sorry if it wasn't as good. But next chapter, Faith tells her brothers what happened to her and who did it. Also, they find out about her and John. Will they be happy for her?
