I would have had this up earlier, but time just kinda got away from me, sorry. I was planning to have the TLC match this chapter, but then decided to push it back a chapter. I will say, in this chapter, Adam does have a bit of a meltdown. I hope to have the next one up sooner then it look me to get this one up


Flashback

2 weeks before the break-up

Adam was lying on the couch in his locker room tossing a paper ball around. Jay was in the ring, Alexis had gone to have a chat with the boss and Adam was left all alone for the time being. Adam was disrupted from his peaceful state when his locker room door swung open.

Alexis marched in, looking a bit pissed off, and sat on Adam's stomach. "Can I help you?" Adam asked with a smile as he tried to change the mood of his girlfriend.

"I swear to god, I didn't think it was possible to hate someone this much." Alexis huffed.

"What I do?" Adam gave Alexis that innocent look that made her smile.

"Not you, Orton. I just saw him in the hall and he smiled at me. He smiled at me like we're best buddies. Un-fucking-believable." Alexis crossed her arms and looked down and the man she was currently sitting on.

"Babe, don't you think you're being over dramatic? You know I hate him just as much as you, but that's a little over the top. You know he's just trying to fuck with you. Don't let 'em." Adam tried his best to reason with Alexis, which was quite hard to do sometimes.

"Yeah….you're right….but still." Alexis leaned back and rested her head on the back of the couch. "I think its just that when I think about it, me and Randy were pretty good friends before we went out. I keep thinking that if our break-up was like….well, a normal break-up, maybe we could be friends. But because he cheated on me I know that won't ever happen. Especially since he's a complete prick now and….ugh! I fucking hate the basterd!"

"He cheated on you twice, Lexi. Even if he didn't he'd still be a prick. Plus, once you cheat on someone, you shouldn't hide it, that's even worse." Adam intertwined their fingers and looked up at Alexis as she thought.

"If I would to ever cheat on someone, which wouldn't happen by the way, I would probably do all I can to stay away from the person I cheated on. I would feel wrong and I would feel like I was hurting the other person without them even knowing it. That person would deserve better, not a cheater. Someone who would always be loyal to them, no matter what. Plus, I would have become what I hate, so I would feel like shit."

Adam woke with a start as it had finally hit him. He finally understood what Alexis meant when she same she became what she hated. He had been thinking about it the past two days. He and Jay had even bounced ideas about it back and forth, but came up with nothing.

Adam looked over at the clock on the nightstand. 1am. He was contemplating on weather or not to go and talk to Alexis now or later. He needed answers now, though. His mind began to race. Who had she slept with? Where? When? It was all he could think about. He decided to go talk to her. He knew she would be up, especially since he knew she was with Phil. Since Phil had insomnia, he rarely slept and Alexis would always stay up with him.

Adam got out of bed got dressed and headed for the door of his hotel room. When he opened the door he heard Jay speak up. "Let me guess: Alexis?" Jay hadn't been able to sleep and was just lying on the couch. He knew Adam was a good sleeper and that he never left to go anywhere this late unless it was important.

"Do you really need me to answer that?" Adam then walked out of the room, closing the door behind him. Jay hoped and prayed that this wouldn't end badly.

It took Adam all of 5 minutes to reach Phil's room seeing as that it was 2 floors below his. Adam took a deep breath and knocked on the door in front of him. Phil pulled open the door a couple seconds later. "Adam? What's up, man?"

"I uh…need to talk to Alexis." Adam was beginning to have some second thoughts.

"Oh, sorry, she not here. She's with John. Vince is making her do this whole Jeff Hardy thing at TLC and since I'm not the best with dye and shit, she went to John, even though he's shit at it too. He was just more willing." Phil smiled. He wondered what Adam had planned and why he needed to talk to Alexis.

"Alright, thanks, Phil." Phil nodded and then closed the door, leaving Adam to think about weather or not he should go to John's room and most likely make a scene. He figured it would happen sooner or later so why not now? Adam only had to head down the hall to get to John's room. He had been here the day before so he knew where to go. For the second time, Adam mustered up his courage and gave a firm knock. "One sec!" Adam heard John call.

John opened the door about a minute later, his hands covered in red dye. However his attention was not on Adam since John was still looking back into the room. "I swear to god, Alexis I am never helping you dye your hair, EVER again."

"And here I though we were having fun!" Alexis responded from somewhere in the room. John laughed and turned his attention to his visitor.

"Oh, hey there Adam. How can I be of assistance to you?" John asked with a smile on his face.

"I need to talk to Alexis. I mean I can understand if this isn't a good time….." Adam trailed off, looking at John's dye covered hands.

"We, uh….just finished up actually. Alexis is just in the bathroom drying her hair. Please, come in." John wasn't sure this was the best thing to do, but he had no right to get in their business, so he stayed out of it.

Adam smiled and stepped into the room. He looked to the side and saw the bathroom door ajar and heard a hairdryer going. John walked over the kitchenette and Adam followed. "Vince said he wanted the full Hardy effect. He also said that if possible he wanted to drag the whole Hardy thing out a bit so instead of her redoing her hair every time with temporary dye, she deicide to do it for real." Adam leaned against the counter as John began to attempt to get the red dye off his hands.

"I heard baby oil is good for getting dye off." Adam informed John as he looked down at John's hands that were now covered in red bubbles due to the mixture of dye and soap.

John laughed and was about to comment, but held his tongue realizing that the joke involved a person that he was no longer friends with. Adam gave him a confused look, so John decided to talk. "I was going to say I should ask Orton for some baby oil, but then I remembered….." John trailed off. By the look on Adam's face it was clear that he got what John was trying to say.

Their conversation came to an end as the hair dryer turned off. Alexis walked out of the bathroom running her fingers through her newly dyed hair. Instead of doing it exactly like Jeff; one half being a bright color and the other being a normal hair color, she decided to it a bit different. She dyed the underneath layer of her hair red. She had gotten her hair cut earlier and had them layer it so you would be able to see the red. The top layer still remain her naturally brown hair color.

"Jeff Hardy 2.0." John smirked as he saw Alexis with her new hair style. It wasn't because it was funny, just that she had been able to nail the look she was going for. She looked like the female version of Jeff Hardy, just more attractive.

Alexis would have given him a smartass comment in return, but noticed Adam and froze. What was he doing here? Alexis pulled herself together and forced a smile. "What are you doing here Adam?"

"I need to talk to you," Adam looked over at John, "Alone, if you don't mind." He didn't mean to be rude, but this was just between him and Alexis.

"Oh, yeah, sure. I'm just gonna hit the hay. Lex, you can spend the night if you want, but if not, I'll see you tomorrow." John then headed to his bedroom and closed the door, leaving the two alone.

"What did you need to talk to me about? It couldn't wait till morning?" Alexis hoped they wouldn't have a repeat of their last conversation. Plus, Alexis wasn't sure what it was that they had to talk about.

"I figured out why you've been avoiding me. I figured out what you meant when you said you had become what you hate." Adam hoped and prayed that he was wrong. Out of all people, Alexis would be last that he guessed to do something like that.

"I'm sorry, Adam. It was an accident….." Alexis was a little taken back. She didn't really expect him to figure it out.

"Who?" Adam knew there was no way it was anyone on the roster because they know how good him and Alexis were together. Adam felt his blood began to boil. All he really wanted was to come here and for Alexis to tell him that he had thought wrong. But she had just confirmed that he was right

"Jeff….." Alexis choked back the tears. This wasn't happening, was it?

Adam saw red. He had never gotten this upset, especially at Alexis. "You hypocritical bitch! You always said how much you fucking hated cheaters and now you're one of them! You're unbelievable! You storm off, because Amy, out of all fucking people, tell you that I cheated on you, breaking my heart in the process. You believed her over me and then fly to fucking South Carolina and go fuck Hardy! You said I was just like Randy? You should look in a fucking mirror!"

"We were drunk!" Alexis tried to defend herself as tears streamed down her face.

"Yeah, because that's the perfect fucking excuse. You think that makes it okay? You're telling me that if Randy said he was drunk every time he cheated on you, you would accept it? That's bullshit, Alexis and you know it." With that, Adam walked past Alexis and out the door, leaving Alexis to take in what he said. Alexis sank to the floor and sat there crying. She had never seen Adam like that, ever.

As soon as John heard the door close, he emerged from his room and went to Alexis' side. He sat down and pulled her into his lap and tried his best to calm her. Looks like that happy ended him and Phil predicted for the two wasn't going to happen.
