So sorry I haven't updated! I've been so exhausted lately. I seriously just slept for 15 hours after I got home from school. I went to bed at 4:30 pm and then woke up at 8 am this morning. Now I'll be posting at least two chapters today, just to show you all how sorry I am and I'll probably update a few of my newest stories. Enjoy & thanks to JenniferRayne & GreyLionDiva for their reviews for the last chapter and everyone else who has reviewed this story so far. It means a LOT! :)

It's also like to mention that now that I've finished all my school assignments (Which for the past weeks I've been swamped with!) I should be more frequent with the updates.

As I was packing my clothes into my bag, I could help but think of Ryan's dumbfounded look as he was standing in the doorway of his locker room. Everyone knew he had it coming, but for some reason it just didn't feel right. Maybe I should have beat around the bush, maybe there was some better way of doing it. I just feel so terrible. Once everything was packed into my bag, I sat down on the bench, next to my duffle, and stared into the open sky; Allowing all my thoughts to process.

I heard the door swing open, but I ignored it. I just sat there, blank. I really wasn't thinking of anything, my brain had just got into neutral, which probably was for the better. I now had my elbow resting on my knee and the nail of my thumb in my mouth. I began nibbling on the end. I hardly ever bit my nails, only when I was nervous or under stress. As a child I use to have the worst habit of biting my nails, but somehow grew out of out it. Luckily, the nibbling was only light, so I didn't bite the nail off.

I could feel a presence placed next to me, although I didn't look up at them. I truly felt stupid. I knew that I loved him but it didn't feel right being with him anymore, but I couldn't put my finger on why I felt so guilty. It's never easy breaking up with someone, but when you know you've broken their heart, yours begins to slowly break.

I could hear whoever was sitting next to me sigh then they draped an arm over my shoulders lightly. It was slender, so I knew it must've been a diva. My guess, it was Maryse.

"Alex…" I heard the diva say in a thick French accent. It was definitely Maryse.

I turned my concentration to Maryse who was looking at the floor. I could tell she was gathering her thoughts, trying to figure out what to say. I knew deep down, she knew nothing she could say would help.

"Maryse, it's fine. It's for the better." I sighed.

Maryse looked up at me and shot me a sincere smile. "Well a few of us are going out for drinks, wanna come?" she asked.

I stood up and sighed lightly. "No, I'm exhausted. I think I'll just go to my hotel and go to sleep." I shot her a small smile. "Is uhh, Ted going?" I asked in a soft tone, almost like a whisper.

Maryse shook her head. "Not that I know of."

I nodded softly.

"Have you talked to him since…" Maryse's voice trailed off. I knew exactly what she was trying to ask, even if she couldn't find the right words.

I shook my head. "No."

"Oh" she said softly, before nodding her head slowly.

"I'll see you, tomorrow." I said as I reached for my duffle and slung it over my shoulder. I made my way out of the locker room and down the hall.

I began contemplating, whether to go see Ted now or not. As I was walking down the hall, I walked past Legacy's locker room. It must be a sign, or at the very least a weird coincidence. I walked closer to the door, raising my hand to knock. I certainly wasn't anxious about talking to Ted about what had just happened an hour ago. But it was bound to happen sooner or later. I decided just to knock. Before I could even turn and run away, the door slowly opened. I closed my eyes softly, bracing myself.

"Alex?" I heard the voice say. It was Ted's, I knew that must. I quickly opened my eyes to see Cody standing in the doorway.

"Oh, Hi Cody." I said with a soft smile. "Is ..." I motioned my finger to his locker room and he shook his head.

"Didn't think so." I replied, with a sigh. "Do you know where he is?"

" Nope, He's either in his hotel room or at some bar with some of the other superstars."

I nodded. "And you're not with him?"

"We aren't joint at the hip, Ya'know." He said with a grin.

I couldn't help but crack a smile.

"So, you need a ride back?" he asked, with a concerned smile on his face.

I looked around, to see the arena was pretty much dead. I nodded. "Yeah."

"I don't mind giving you a ride back."

"Really? Thanks." I shot him a warm smile.

"No problem. I'll just grab my bags."

He turned and walked into his locker room. It was only a few moments until he was back again.

"Ready?" He asked as he closed the door behind him.

I nodded. As we began walking towards the exit, there was silence.

"You're awfully quiet." He chuckled.

"Not much to talk about."

"Oh c'mon. You and I both know that when we're together there is never 'not much' to talk about."

I paused. "Point taken." I smiled.

By this time we had made our way to Cody's rental car. He put both our bags in the back and I climbed into the passenger side. It was early December and Denver was getting colder and colder. We were off to Washington then New York for Christmas week. Once Cody got into the car and started it, for some reason the awkwardness grew. Usually it wouldn't be awkward between us two.

"Uh, Alex?" He turned to me, taking his eyes off the road.

My eyes were focused on outside the window, studying my surroundings. I simply replied with "Mhm?" not even bothering to turn to him.

"Are you and Ted… you know…" I could hear the hesitation in his voice.

I turned to him. "Are Ted and I what?"

He bit his lip and took one hand off of the steering wheel to scratch the back of his neck. "Together?" He choked out.

Strangely enough, I didn't know how to answer that. No one had really asked me that question before. Ted and I had a complicated relationship. It was pretty obvious we both liked each other, but it was never official that we were together.

I sighed. "I don't know." I replied. "Sounds stupid I know, but we've never really talked about it." I frowned slightly. "So, I guess not." I paused for a few moments. "Why?"

"Just curious."

By this time, silence really filled within the car. Neither of us said a word. Luckily he pulled up into the hotel car park. I couldn't work out why he was so curious about Ted and my 'relationship' if you could really even put that kind of label onto it. I shook my head and stepped out of the rental car. Cody grabbed his and mine duffle's. He handed mine to me and we both walked in to the hotel lobby.

We both walked silently to our floor. Once we stepped out of the elevator he paused and turned to me.

"Alex. I'm sorry." He muttered.

I laughed slightly. "What for?"

"For being nosey."

"Cody, it's fine. I'm just a bit disappointed that Ted and I haven't really talked about it."

He nodded. He looked up at me. It was silent. I probably should have walked away, but I didn't. I could see him leaning in closer and I stiffened. He lightly pressed his lips against mine. Strangely, he was the one to pull away, not me.

"Shit. I'm sorry Alex." He said, scratching the back of his neck again. I had to admit, it was cute.

"Cody…" I paused. I didn't know what to say, I was actually speechless.

"I've got to go. I'm sorry." He turned and walked off to his room.

My jaw dropped open as I slowly dragged myself to my room. Once I reached my door, I shook my head.

"What just happened?" I asked myself quietly.

I didn't know if I wanted to go back to Alex and Cody, but I couldn't help myself.
I know this is their second kiss and all, but there still will be more Ryan drama to come.
Review! :)
