Disclaimer: I don't own Matt or Amy, nor do I own anything of the WWE. I don't own the Bo Bice Lyrics and I don't own anything else you recognize. I'm just doing this for fun. :) Author's Note: Hi guys, sorry this too so long. Since these are just one-shots I sort of put them on the backburner for when I get inspiration. Now I know I said the next song would be 'You're Everything' but I'm skipping that track all together. The next one-shot will be called 'U Make Me Better' the third song off the album. It's completely different from the first story and it takes place about a week or two from Matt and Amy's break-up, in early March. Let me know what you think, I think it's better than the first one I wrote... so, enjoy!
Track Three: U Make Me Better
Amy Dumas stood outside her boyfriend… ex-boyfriend's house. She'd been there for a while, unsure how to go about knocking on the door and waiting for his handsome face. Suddenly, after six years of a relationship she was afraid of the man she at one time thought of marrying.
Lately, I've been so far gone
Pretending I don't know where I went wrong
I've been lying to myself in the arms of someone else
Without you I just can't fake it...tonight
Here I am, so please don't tell me it's the ending
She screwed up. Big-time. She needed to make things right. Would it work? She wasn't too sure and she knew how mad and hurt he was. It'd only been one week. One week that seemed like an eternity to her. Amy sighed, feeling the cold air swirl around her. It was winter. Everything was sleeping. Matt probably was too. It was early and he liked to sleep in.
Amy took a deep breath and walked up the sidewalk to the brick area that was his house. Softly, she knocked, hoping that he would answer. She knew he was mad.
Inside the house stood Matt Hardy, staying out of sight. Outside he watched his ex-girlfriend stand, staring at his house with a pained expression. He had the urge to open the door and scream at her, call her a whore, a slut, anything you could imagine, but found he couldn't.
Unexpectedly, she knocked on the door, making Matt nearly jump out of his skin. What is she doing here? Matt thinks. Go fuck Adam.
Amy sighed from the outside, contemplating leaving. She knew he was home, hell, he probably knew she was outside: he had to hate her. The twenty-nine year old woman looked into the glass at her expression. There were heavy, sagging bags under her eyes and from the wind her hair was matted to her scalp. She looked a good five years older and nothing like the character she played on TV.
She couldn't believe she showed up here. Matt would never answer. He wouldn't believe she broke it off with Adam… she didn't even love Adam. She'd just lied to herself from his promises. I need just one chance. One.
Finally, the brunette sighed and went to turn around to go back to her car, ashamed of herself.
"Amy," came his voice, low and gruff, not a drop of emotion in it. Basically, it sounded dead.
Amy turned around to face the man she feared and felt salty, hot tears stream down her face. How could this have happened? Sure, they weren't going through the best of times but had she really thought she'd be better off with Adam than Matt? Matt was her everything. She had a life with Matt.
"Matt," she whispered softly, walking slowly up the yard. "I-I need to t-talk to you."
Amy wasn't a crier. She was a headstrong, powerful woman both physically and emotionally yet when she looked into his hurt brown eyes she could just feel herself collapsing internally.
"I don't want to talk to you," Matt whispered back.
"Please," she pleaded. "I just need to talk to you, let me explain."
You're all I ever wanted from the beginning
I know I let you down; I'll live with that forever,
I want to scream out loud
That you're the only one that makes me better.
If only she could just take back the one mistake and make everything back the way it used to be. The woman wished for one chance in redemption and one chance only. She'd never screw up this badly again, she promised herself if Matt listened.
"Why should I?" he asked coldly.
"There are so many reasons, Matt, please, can I just come inside? It's freezing out here." It was true and it looked as if it might snow, which was very odd for the time of year, almost March.
"Whatever you need to tell me, can be said outside," Matt replied gruffly.
She wanted to slap him. She wanted to slap him so badly and just make him listen. The man was so hardheaded and she knew, because that was one of the reasons she'd grown apart from him in the end he'd get his way. Adam promised a princess lifestyle, Matt provided a loving friendship. Any girl would screw up once and a while.
"Fine," she whispered.
Baby, I could barely talk to you
You got me, don't know how I made it through
Still you came with me that night, you will remember that alright
I can't believe that we could lose this tonight.
"This week has been hell for me," she started with a sigh. And I—"
"And you don't think it's been hell for me?" Matt raged back. "I found out my girlfriend and one of my best fucking friends were having an affair behind my back, damn it!"
"I know, I know, Matt, let me continue," she pleased. "First," she continued when Matt stayed quiet. "I broke it off with Adam. He's not what I need."
"That's for damn sure," Matt grumbled.
"Matt, SHUT UP!" Amy yelled. "If you want to hear this – and don't say you don't, because I know you do, shut. the. fuck. up." Matt's face shaded a light red and he cleared his throat. "I know I've screwed up, I've known it since you found the message. I want to make it up to you."
I'm begging you now please don't tell me it's the ending
You're all I ever wanted from the beginning
I know I let you down, I'll live with that forever,
I want to scream out loud
That you're the only one that makes me better
"I've screwed up farther than we could have on our own. I know before this started that we were rocky and I should have came to you about that and not went off and looked for something else to fill that void. Damn, if I could relive that part of my life, I would and I would come to you. I know I've hurt you deeply and I'm going to take that to my grave. I can't tell you how bad I feel. Adam's tried to keep me happy these past few days but something is missing. I can't talk about him with everything. Only you can. It's only you, Matt."
Amy started to cry all over. She wasn't the type to spill her heart out so easily, but she knew if she didn't say this now, it wouldn't be said for a long, long time. Years maybe. She moved up closer to the steps where Matt stood, his expression unreadable.
Yeah...this time I'm gonna make you right…
Oh, just take me home with you tonight.
"Can I please come in now?" she asked briskly and looked at her ex with soft eyes. She saw the same man she fell in love with there, the same one that was there for her when she broke her neck and the same man that loved her unconditionally though at times it was hard for him to show it. "Please."
Matt sighed, opening the door. "Come in."
"Thank you," she replied and stepped in to the house only a short time ago she called home. Almost immediately she saw the little white furball her and Matt had bought. "Lucas!"
The little terrier barked back at Amy. "He's missed you," Matt said softly.
"I've missed him," she admitted, bringing the puppy into her arms and holding him tightly. "I've missed a lot of things. You," she whispered.
"I know," Matt murmured, sitting on the couch and staring at Amy with another unreadable expression.
"Can't you please yell at me or something? Tell me that I'm wasting my time or some other shit? Damn Matt, please, tell me something. Just sitting there and staring at me isn't going to help anything at all for God's sake!" she yelled, Lucas running from her arms. "I just want an answer."
"An answer to what?" Matt asked in response.
"Can we work this out, can we at least become friends again or something like that? I need you more than you'll ever know. You're the only one that seems to fill this tiny part of my heart. Right now it's an empty void, but please, tell me you'll make it whole again." This was not Amy what-so-ever but she needed to explain how she felt. "I'm sorry, I'm just so sorry."
Please don't tell me it's the ending ,
You're all I ever wanted from the beginning
I know I let you down, I'll live with that forever,
I want to scream out loud
Cause you're the only one that makes me better.
"I am too," Matt replied, standing up. For a moment Amy thought Matt was going to kick her out as he lurked towards her but found herself surprised when he opened his arms, welcoming her. "I am too."
"So what does this mean?" Amy murmured, feeling the warmth of their body's exchanging heat.
(You make me better, you make me better...)
"It means there is hope," Matt murmured just as outside it started to snow.
Next song will be 'Nothing Without You.' It will be updated when I get an idea... probably in two weeks or so depending. :) Or it could be up tomorrow, you never know!! :D Read and review, alert, and favorite please! :)
