Wow, thank you guys so much for all the alerts, favorites, and reviews on the previous chapter. It means a lot since i had been gone for a while. Anyways, here is the next chapter. I had planned to have Alexis return in this chapter, but it didn't quite workout that way. She will def. return to Raw in the next one. I hope you guys like it! =)

"Come on, Alexis! Its Christmas morning!" Jeff said shaking her. He knew he sounded like a little kid and he started to laugh as he tried to get Alexis up and out of bed. Alexis just moaned and tried to swat him away. Jeff didn't give in and continued to try and get her up.

"Go away…."

"I'll give you 5 more minutes. If you're not downstairs I'm gonna call you and you'll get the shit scared outta you because I know how loud you have your phone on." Alexis always kept her phone on full blast. Not only would it be full blast, last time Jeff checked it was a really loud Metallica song, so he would enjoy waking her up.

Jeff left and slammed the door behind him, making sure to make as much noise as possible. "God damn hardy boy…." Alexis mumbled as she buried her head further into her pillow. She was starting to drift back off when her phone started to blast her favorite Metallica song. She snatched the phone off the side table, not even bothering to look at the caller ID, since she already figured who it was.

"Jeffrey Nero Hardy this is North-fucking-Carolina, not some goddamn boot camp! I can sleep in if I want, so leave me alone and I'll be downstairs when I'm good and fucking ready. And that was not five minutes!" Alexis barked into the phone. She expected to hear the familiar sound of a North Carolina accent on the other end, but was greeting with another familiar voice instead.

"You're with Hardy? I should have figured that."

Alexis nearly felt her heart stop. As his voice filled her ears she couldn't help but realize how much she missed hearing his voice, seeing his face,….just how much she missed him in all. "Adam?"

"I was just calling to wish you a Merry Christmas, but I kinda figured you wouldn't answer." Adam felt this flood of emotion wash over him as he heard her voice. He was surprised that she had answered. He came to the obvious conclusion that she though he was Jeff calling.

"If I had looked at the caller idea, I wouldn't have." The way she said almost sounded as if she was joking. She smiled as she heard Adam chuckle on the other end of the phone.

Adam was about to say something in response when he heard a loud banging in the background.

"Alexis, Come on. You lazy ass person! Shannon and Matt are coming over soon and I want your ass up and down here well before that! Plus, those pancakes I said that I'd make you last night are as good as gone if you don't hurry!" Jeff began to laugh as he remembered what he said last night. He had promised Alexis that he would make her pancakes in the morning.

"Jeffro, I'm going to knock you into next week if you don't make those damn pancakes and I'll be down soon. Chill your rainbow ass out." She heard Jeff laugh his way down the stairs so she turned her attention back to Adam. She heard his laughing over the other end.

She felt her heart ache. She really missed him. If it hadn't been for the guys this past week, she was sure she would be pretty damn depressed. "What?"

Adam stopped laughing and took up a serious tone. "I Miss that. Ya know, you snappin' back with the best comments…I miss you…" It just came out of his mouth without a second thought.

"I….I miss you too." Alexis wasn't sure this was the best thing to do, but she just told it how it was

"So what gonna happen, with us? Where are we at right now?" Hearing that she missed him had given him a little hope. He needed to know where she though they stood. To know if they were going to give this another shot.

"I know it was Randy and Amy that fucked us up, but I believed her over you and I'll never get over that. After all the shit Amy had done to me, I took her side. I don't know why, I guess I didn't fully register it was her till I was on a plane to Cameron. I still love you, but you deserve someone better then me. Someone better that'll believe you over their worst enemy…" Alexis felt her eyes water. He deserved someone better then her. She figured it was best for him that he found someone else. No matter how much it hurt her.

"Lexi…" Adam didn't know how to put what he wanted to say into words. She thought he deserved better? She really felt that bad about taking Amy's side? He didn't blame her. Anyone would react that way if someone were to tell then that the person they were with was cheating on them. Alexis was perfect to him. In his view, he wouldn't be able to find anyone better because Alexis was the best to him.

"Look, Adam can we please talk about this some other time? Its Christmas and I have to go anyways. Jeff's waiting for me." She didn't want this. This is one of the many reasons why she chose not to answer the phone when he called. She didn't want to talk about this over the phone. If she had to do it, she wanted it to be face to face.

"Alexis-"

"Please, Adam. Can we talk about it when I get back. Face to face?"

Adam didn't want to leave things like this for another week. He didn't want her thinking she wasn't good enough. "Ok, I'll see at TLC then."

"I'll see you soon." Alexis then hung up the phone as a single tear rolled down her cheek.

"Matt totally spiked the eggnog." Alexis said as she laughed and tried to find her way over to the couch. She could feel the alcohol run trough her bloodstream. As much as she hated to admit it, as soon as she took her first sip of eggnog that night and figuring it was spiked, she drank it even faster. She knew she had a drinking problem, but she usually had Adam there for her to help. The pain of losing Adam was the reason she was drinking so much.

"Lex, lay off the nog, okay?" Matt and Shannon had just left Jeff's house. They threw a little Christmas party to say the least. Jeff had a couple of drinks, not that much, but he could definitely feel the effect of the alcohol. He knew that Alexis had drank a little more then she should have, but it was her choice and Jeff didn't bother to stop her.

Jeff sat on the couch next to Alexis and she leaned her head against Jeff's shoulder. They keep like that of a good few minutes before Jeff scared her with his sudden outburst. "You never open the present I got you!"

Jeff jumped off the couch and ran to where there was a big box wrapped in colorful red and green wrapping paper. It was almost half Alexis' size and it was some what hidden behind the Christmas tree. Jeff easily dragged it over to Alexis who was adjusting her tang-top. Jeff had noticed Alexis looking at it the other day when him, her, Matt and Shannon went to the mall.

"What is it?" Alexis asked as she inspected the outside of the box. She really hadn't a clue as to what it was. Alcohol or no alcohol, she would need to open it to find out.

"Well open it stupid and maybe you'll find out." Jeff gave her a smile as she began to unwrap it. Just as he guessed, her reaction was priceless.

"Oh my god, Jeff! How did you know? I've been dying to get my hands on one of these!" Alexis had a huge smile across her face as she held her new vintage black and white fender electric guitar.

"I saw you lookin' at it when we were in the mall the other day." Jeff continued to smile as she fidgeted with the guitar, trying to see if it was tuned or if she had to doanything to it. "Here, let me see." Jeff resumed to his previous position next to Alexis, except just a bit closer this time. He took the guitar for her and began to check it over because he knew she trusted his opinion on guitars.

Alexis just sat there and observed Jeff checking over the guitar. Jeff then looked up and locked eyes with her. Right there and then Alexis felt a turn of emotions and feelings. Maybe it was the alcohol, or maybe it was the fact the Jeff was the only person that could make the hurt go away. That Jeff just had something about him.

Jeff felt the change in emotion as he looked into her bright emerald green eyes that had hint of pain that she tried so hard to hide. He knew that she was feeling the same thing he was. He saw this as the chance he had been waiting for. She was leaving tomorrow so this may be the only shot he had.

Jeff slowly leaned forward, beginning to close the space between them. Alexis saw what he was trying to do. Just then she felt the liquor in her system, mixed with the load of emotion she had bottled up, kick in. She did something that she would never do when she was sober. She closed the space between her and Jeff and pressed her lips to his.

This took Jeff back a little, but he smiled as felt her lips on his. There was something there. They could both feel it. The kiss started off slow and lingering, but deepened and intensified. Jeff moved the guitar out of the way making sure that their lips stayed locked.

Alexis couldn't fight it. Trough all the pain and heartache and confusion, she finally felt at peace and happy. She laid down on the couch and pulled Jeff with her. As things heated up, one thing lead to the next and to something that they might both regret….

Alexis woke up the sound of the alarm going off. She quickly grabbed it and silenced it. She looked over at the sleeping figure next to her, making sure that he was still asleep. She did her best to get out of the bed as unnoticeable as possible. She quickly got dressed and headed out of the room. She called a cab to take her to the airport so she wouldn't miss her flight. She spent the next 30 minutes gathering up her belongings from around Jeff's house.

She heard the honk of a car horn outside, signaling that her cab was here. As she was about to walk out the door, she caught a glimpse of the guitar the Jeff had given her the night before. She debated about taking it, but then figured it would be a constant reminder of the night before. Of the events that she will forever regret.

She walked out of the door and aided the cab driver in loading her luggage. When they were finally done, she climbed into the back and buckled up. The cab stared forward and Alexis gave on last look at Jeff's house. She would have woken him up to say good-bye because she hated leaving like this, but she didn't think she could look at him the same ever again. She slept with one of her best friends. How was she suppose to get over that. Life just couldn't get any worse for Alexis Anderson, could they….

I really hoped you guys liked it! Like i said, Jeff was going to make his move in this chapter lol. Please don't forget to review! =)
