I haven't worked on this story for so damn long that I completely forgot what it was about. What was it about? Seriously, I forgot. XP! I had to reread the last chapter at least twice before I remembered. XD!

ChapterTwenty:FightForFreedom

Jeff's fingers are trailing along the bars.

Dry blood coats his hands, as he hears the sound of the entrance being opened as a guard pushes Matt into the cell the opposite of Jeff's, Jeff blushing as the guard rips Matt's clothing into shreds, leaving Matt naked and exposed, his hands onto the bars, looking at the opposite cell, right at Jeff.

"Jeffy…"

"Matt-"

"I'm sorry for being a jerk. I'm sorry for all the wrong I've done. Hell, Jeff, I'm sorry for being a jackass after Mom died-"

"Matt, I don't care about that right now!"

"…then what do you care about, Jeff?"

Jeff thought for a moment. "I care about you."

"Jeff, you can't get hurt. If you care about me, then care about yourself first. When Verrel comes…"

"Matt, 'Jeff shakes his head, 'I'm not gonna let you hurt yourself just so you can save me! Potentially k-kill yourself…"

"It would be the only good thing I've ever done in my life. I don't care about anything else, Jeff. You're not doing this for you, you're doing this for me. Do it for me, Jeffy, don't let them hurt you…let them hurt me…"

"Matt…"

"I'm so sick." Matt shook his head.

"I'm sick too, 'Jeff pitches in, his voice cracking, eyes glittering with tears, 'I'm sick of all this. I'm sick of the pain. I'm sick of the torture. I'm sick of Randy. I'm sick of me. I'm sick of everything."

"And I'm sick inside…I'm poison…I'm no good to you, Jeffy, 'Matt said, holding onto the cold metal bar.

"Matty…"

"Do you love him?"

That was what made Jeff jump. "Who?"

"You know very well who I'm talking about."

"He gave me HIV, Matt, 'Jeff tried to tell him but Matt was still staring at him, his eyes solemn and filled with seriousness.

"But do you love him?"

Jeff swallows the lump in his throat and nods his head, looking down at the floor, 'yes, Matt, I do."

"Then go, Jeff. You and him can have a perfect life with children and it'll be perfect and nice and I'll be watching, Jeff…"

"I want you to be there with me! I'd rather die with you than live without you! We've lost too much, Matt! It's unfair!" Jeff exclaims, his eyes burning with passion as silence roams between the duo. Jeff holds his head into his hands and starts sobbing recklessly and all Matt wants to do was hold him around his arms just one last time, make him feel safe, just one last time…

"W-w-w-what about you, M-M-Matty?" Jeff stutters, looking up at Matt, who just sat down onto a table, just staring at him, 'd-d-do you love him?"

"I'm not allowed to love. I'll just screw it up."

That made Jeff sob all the more as Hunter walks towards him, wrapping his arms around him, and Matt just envies Hunter for that one moment but also is happy that Jeff's being taken care of when Matt couldn't care for him.

"Do you love him, Matty?" Jeff repeats.

"I can't—"

"Do you love him, Matty?" Jeff repeats, his voice louder.

Matt just stares at him for a moment before slowly nodding his head, and taking his head in his hands for a moment, 'and I fucking blew it."

"Okay, let's get the pretty blonde out of here first, 'Verrel says, looking over at Jeff's body, covered by Hunter's arms as Jeff's sobs got even worse, tears cascading, fear burning, nothing but terror resides into his body. "Hunter, let go—"

"Don't you dare, 'Verrel twists his head to meet Matt's face.

"Oh, so you're willing to give yourself up for the blonde? I love the idea. What are you willing to give me?"

"You call have all of me, Verrel. I don't fucking care what you do with me."

"Oh, you're going to care…"

"MATTY!" Hunter's hand cups over Jeff's mouth as Jeff allows tears to fall freely from his face again, sobbing recklessly, his hands embracing the elder male.

"Get him out of there. I'll see as to how I'd break him."

Jeff gasps as Daquan grabs onto Matt's arm and drags him along with Verrel towards the battle area as Jeff continues to gasp and sob, missing his presence already. Hunter trying to cajole the hyperventilating Jeff, 'Jeffery, it's going to be okay. He's going to be fine. He's tough. He'll pull through—"

"Tell me the truth." Jeff says, his voice thick as Hunter looks down at Jeff's face.

"He's gonna die out there."

Jeff nods his head, tears still cascading down his face, 'I'm scared. I don't know what to do. I don't want to move on! I don't want him to die! And what the fuck am I doing while my brother is out there getting butchered?! Crying around like a baby that doesn't know anything!"

Jeff hits his head towards the cold metal, it scratches his skin, forming a cut, blood falls and Hunter takes Jeff's face, looking at him closely, Hunter's breath onto Jeff's face, 'you think killing yourself is going to make him feel happier? It's like he's throwing away his life for nothing, Jeff!"

Jeff just stares at him, Hunter's hot breath near Jeff's face and in moments, Jeff's lips finds its way towards Hunter's lips. Passion and heat transfer, energy particles bounce around in that kiss as Jeff pulls back, looking down at the floor, 'I'm kissing a guy I haven't seen for a year because of fear…I'm fucked up…"

"Jeff…"

"Save it." Jeff simply says, turning around and holding onto the bars, having no tears to shed and nothing to do, his eyes onto the floor of the cell he's in, trying to think, trying to think but his heart's beating so loudly in his ear that all he hears is the uneven rhythm of his heart and he feels as if he's going to die any second.

Just as Matt's about to face his opponent, he paces around, Verrel allowing him an empty bottle of alcohol during the match but Matt doubts that he's going to kill someone and in that moment, Matt's eyes widen as he realizes who he's going to battle, the very person that could mend and save Jeff's life.

Randy Orton stands there with a look of confusion plastered across his face.

I had to cut it there. Sorreh, babehs but it's bedtime here for meh. XD!

X Sam.
