Leah walked out of the
room in disbelief. She let all the tears run down her cheeks. She could hear
him shouting after her, telling her to wait and that he could explain. She
didn't want to hear it. she reached the front door and opened it and walked
out slamming it as hard as she could. She ran down the street and turned the
corner into the street her best friends lived in. she ran up to their house
and pounded on the front door.
Finally the door opened
and one of her best friends, Jeff Hardy stood before her. She feel into his
arms, he staggered a little as he caught her but he steadied himself and
brought her inside. He sat her down and Jeff's brother, Matt ran to get Sasha,
their younger sister. Jeff sat Leah on the sofa and tried to calm her, she
fell against him again. Her crying was hysterical.
Sasha ran down the
stairs and to Leah's side. She put her arms around Leah and held her tightly.
After half an hour Leah
had stopped crying and the three Hardy siblings sat around Leah and waited for
an explanation.
"I went to see
Shannon. He had given me a spare key so i let myself in. He didn't know i was
coming home early so i wanted to surprise him. I defiantly did that. I went
upstairs as all the lights were off and i opened the door to his bedroom and i
saw him...in bed with her...fucking her...how could he do that? I thought we
were in love..." Leah said before breaking down to tears again.
Jeff's anger boiled as he
listened to what Shannon had done. Shannon was also one of Jeff's best friend
but he was not going to get away with hurting Leah like that. No way.
"Lee, who was he
with?" Matt asked softly as he wiped some of her hair out of her face.
Leah looked up at him
through her blurry eyes. "Emily."
"What?" Sasha
yelped. Emily was one of their long term friends. Ever since they were about
ten they had been friends.
"How could they do
this? How can they do this to me?" Leah cried as she fell into Matt's
arms. Matt held her as Jeff went to get their spare room ready. He knew Matt
wouldn't let her go home alone. All three of the Hardys cared a great deal for
their young friend. Leah may only be 18 but she wasn't stupid, she was
training to be a pilot, she had always dreamed of flying airliners and after
September 11th she was more determined.
Jeff entered the room and
pulled all of the teddy's off of the bed and placed them on the floor. He
pulled the covers back and turned the lamp next to the bed on. He closed the
curtains.
Matt lifted Leah into his
arms and carried her up the stairs. Sasha had gone back to bed as she had to
be up early the next morning for work and it was already 12:30am. Matt
carefully placed her Leah down onto the bed. Jeff came in a kissed Leah
goodnight. Jeff told Matt to look after her and stay with her. So he went to
his room and grabbed a Hardy Boyz t-shirt for her to wear. He went quickly
back to the room to see Leah wasn't on the bed. He looked over to the door
that linked with the bathroom. It was slightly open and the light was on. He
walked over and heard Leah's crying. He opened the door and looked down at
Leah, who sat on the floor with a razor in her hand, she held it on her wrist.
"Leah!" Matt
snapped as he dropped down in front of her, grabbing her hands, removing the
razor from her hand. He examined her wrist, she hadn't cut herself. "What
were you thinking?" He said as he pulled her up against him. She didn't
reply she just draped her arms around him and cried into the crook of his
neck. He placed the razor on the side and lifted Leah to her feet. he took her
back to the bed and sat her down. He lifted her arms over her head and pulled
her tank top of. He slipped the t-shirt he had brought with him over her head
and put her arms through the sleeves. He then undid her jeans and pulled them
off. Leah lay herself back on the bed and rolled onto her side as Matt turned
the light out and stripped to his boxers and got into the single bed beside
her. He held her close as she cried, and a she slowly drifted to sleep.
