So all of you want to know why Matt lied? Keep reading! :D
21 – Shock
Jeff's so dead.
He doesn't know how to live and he doesn't know if he's alive and everything's just so confusing and—and he needs a break. He's at school and is still thinking of Matt, his Matt's going to Canada in about a week and there's nothing he can do to stop him and he's not reluctant to it anymore and now, that he's halfway finished with his test, he hears the sound of his teacher, and he watches as his teacher whisks away his test, saying that the time is over and Jeff can care less as he chews on the eraser of his pencil and when he hears the bell, he steps out, meeting with Randy for lunch.
"I'm really sorry about the whole Brice is dead thing," Randy says, taking a forkful of pasta salad and gulping it down even and Jeff won't dare eat his food, it doesn't feel right, knowing that it's not glazed with Matt's usual too overcooked meals and he sighs one time before taking a fork and stabbing at Randy's salad, eating the slightly greasy food. "Did you go to see Matt?"
Jeff only nods his head and sighs once more, the pain overtaking him, stabbing pain badly and he tries to push it all away but it's still there and as Jeff eats more of the greasy pasta salad, he realizes that Randy's waiting for him to explain what happened, "I went to Matt's orphanage, we fought and he told me he loved me and—I just left him there. It hurt so much…I don't want him to go to Canada…"
"Despite all he's done?" Randy repeats and Jeff nods his head, feeling that aching tender feeling in his neck, "huh, Jeff?"
"Yes, despite all he's done," Jeff runs his hand through his purple and blue hair, "I just want to know why he's lied. There's just no reason for him to lie…"
"Unless…" Randy shakes his head and takes a forkful of food.
"Unless?" Jeff repeats, seeing the glimmer of hope and wish, thinking that there might be a reason for all this idiocy that's going around, "Randy, tell me, please."
"Unless he's just trying to take care of you," Randy's voice turns softer and sweeter. "You see, if he lies to you about something as serious as rape, he just wants to attract attention. You'll do fewer mistakes now that you think you're in danger and that'll give Matt closure knowing that you're cautious in life since he can't take care of you anymore. He's doing this because he cares."
"Yes, Jeff, I lied. I lied because I cared about you."
Jeff tries to believe that but it just doesn't sound like Matt. And he somehow knows that that's not it but it seems to be the only logical explanation so Jeff nods his head and eats one final bite, "thank you, Ran."
"No problem," Randy responds, with gleaming teeth and kisses Jeff's cheek in brotherly love and Jeff flushes into a hot pink color, "you still up for tonight?"
Jeff simply nods his head as they hear the bell ring and Jeff stands up, walking towards Adam and Chris who are teasing each other with quick kisses on their faces and Jeff pulls Adam to his side who can't stop chuckling under his breath and at the middle of the walk towards homeroom, Jeff stops. "Randy—"
"What?"
"I don't feel so good." Jeff feels like his stomach's flipping, nausea burning in his stomach, and he suddenly feels Chris holding onto his shoulder as Jeff throws up on the school hallways, feeling completely and utterly sick and nauseated and his heart rates goes up as Jeff scratches his arm and Chris rolls up the sleeve of Jeff's sweatshirt and seeing the raw, red itching flesh and Chris screams, "SOMEONE CALL 911!"
Jeff's dizziness overwhelms him as he holds onto Adam's arm, "p-please, call Matt!" and then, he falls down onto the floor, panting, and gasping for breath, feeling every minute as it passes by and he truly thinks he's going to die…Matt…Matt..Matt…
"His sinuses are clear."
"Thank God…"
Jeff opens his tired eyes, not knowing where he is until he's seen the too white room that he's trapped in and that's hurting his eyes too badly and his heart's pounding so hard that he doesn't think he can listen to anything else and he looks towards his bed where John Cena and Adam Copeland are asleep, Randy is talking to a tired Chris Jericho and when a grunt escape Jeff's lips, their faces turn to see their sick friend.
"What's going on?" Jeff asks, feeling his chapped lips as he licks the wet bottom lip of his. "Why am I here?"
Randy sits down onto the a plastic white chair, too white, too pure, and Jeff suddenly feels dirty as his dizziness overtakes him too badly and he thinks that there are too many swirls in his head, "Randy?"
"You're here because you just threw up, we saw that there are hives on your skin from some allergy so we brought you here…you were so out of it when you blacked out, we were all worried about you," Randy explains, his eyes never leaving from Jeff's face. "Jeff, do you realize how painful it is to see this? You've just been hospitalized and now again?"
Jeff nods his head, taking a quick breath, "might as well live in here."
The doctor walks in with serious eyes and all stare at him as he puts down a clipboard, "there are signs of citalopram in Jeff's blood, a high dosage if I may add," he stops and stares straight at the confused eyed Jeff and the doctor comes up with a conclusion. "Jeff, you've been drugged."
