Duane Lee turned on the car and looked at his brother.

" You alright? He get you?" He asked as he put the car in drive and started off on the road.

Leland nodded , " yea he hit me , he got me , not a big deal .. I'm just pissed off "

" No I know , he's an ass for even hitting or starting with you" he began but was quickly cut off by Leland.

" I just fucking realized like they're still together like , I slept with her last night, like laid next to her , and just held her she just stood there and like she's not mine , she's still there with him , they are still a couple , who knows if she's even leaving him. She could just want to stay with him and help him more right?" he yelled in frustration. He threw his seat back and stood in silence for the rest of his ride back to the office.

" I can't believe he actually like came here , he was so high , what am I suppose to do ? He's back on this shit " she explained.

" Well if that's what helps you decide , then that's what helps you Lex. Do you really want to sit there and press rewind and deal with the drugs for another few weeks ? Or months ? Or even years? Who knows how long this could even be .. You have to think about this , seriously. Your not 18 anymore where this could all be done over , we're grown ups now" stacy told her , hoping her words would sink in.

Alexis nodded and sat quietly listening to the waves crashing on the shoreline. Stacy was right , she had been through this before with Jeff, the money missing , the lies , the covering for him during the wrestling shows , interviews and other things. Was she really ready to do that again? But how could she leave him alone? She would be doing the same thing that he wanted to do to his little cousin.

" I just seriously, I have a lot to think about " Alexis said looking at Stacy. " A lot "

Alexis stood up and walked back over to the photographer excusing herself from the rest of the shoot. She really could care less about it at this point. She quickly gathered her things and headed down to the shore to just walk and think. She was joined by Stacy who quietly just walked by her best friend , as if with no words to just tell her, I'm here for you.

Night time had fallen and the girls were back in their hotel room. Alexis through on a pair of sweat pants and a wife beater. "I'll be back in a few ok?" She told Stacy as she headed out the door. She headed out the lobby and got into her car. She took out her phone and hit the speed dial.

" Hello ?" He answered.

" Where are you ? I want to talk." she quickly answered before her nerves got the very best of her.

"By the beach, come by"

With that she hung up and drove back down to the beach. She put her car in park and sat there for a while. Did she really want to go through with this? She shook the thought from her head. She shut off her car and got out, walking towards Jeff.

He looked up at her " so what's up?" He asked watching her sit down next to him.

" I .. " she began but couldn't put anything into words. " Jeff , I can't do this again , this is not normal or healthy. This drug thing is just fucking, not for me. I've done this before with you. I did the whole lying , you stealing and just letting your addiction come over you. At this point , in my career , I can't do this. I'm sorry. I refuse to be with you , that is one promise I made to myself years ago , I could never go through that again. " She let out in almost all one breath. She let what she said sink in to the both of them, tears came strolling down her cheek. She couldn't believe she just in so little to so many words had just broken up with her boyfriend of years.

Jeff simply looked at her , and nodded. He didn't say anything for a while , he seemed to sit there as if he was alone and not with her. After a long silence , he stood up " you're really just a selfish fucking person Alexis" and with that said he stood up and walked away.
