Matt, Jeff, Rebecca, Amy, Adam and Jay sat on tender-hooks in Rebecca's
living room, desperate for the doorbell to ring.
"This is ridiculous!" Matt exclaimed, standing up.
"It'll all be over soon," Amy said as supportively as she could manage while Matt passed around the medium sized room.
Nobody spoke in reply and the room remained silent with only the sound of Matt wearing out the carpet until Rebecca spoke. "For God sake Matt! Sit down!"
"What if something has happened?" Matt asked, fearing the worst. He had worried about the worst so much recently that he was beginning to forget what the word 'positive' meant.
"Matt, calm down," Amy said as she stood up and walked over to Matt. "It's all going to be ok. Anytime soon Danielle is going to be back home, safe, and this nightmare will all be over and done with. When she gets back she's not going to want to see you like this. You need to pull yourself together, if not for yourself or us but for your daughter," she led the eldest Hardy over to the 3-person settee that Jeff was sitting on with Rebecca on his lap and made him sit down.
"I guess your right," Matt said slowly.
"You know she is," Jeff said supportively.
"That reminds me," Adam said slowly. He kept his dreamy eyes locked on the floor in front of him while leaning against the wall. He took a deep breath. "Don't interrupt me," he said. By this point everyone was looking at him. "This is really hard for me to say but there are so many years of bad-blood between us." The young Canadian looked at Matt. "None of it could have helped Dan much, especially when she needed us most . when Kel died . maybe we should bury the hatchet, for Danielle's sake, I know it's what Kelly would have wanted."
Everybody in the room stood in silence, shocked by what Adam had just said. Even Jay - Adam's best friend of many years - had to listen twice. It wasn't like Adam to hold a grudge but everyone had expected him never to drop the grudge between him and Matt, after all there had been a lot of ill feeling between them for many years.
Matt smiled. "Yeah, I know that's what Kelly would have wanted," Matt agreed.
Adam walked towards Matt and extended his hand which Matt shuck.
"I'm really proud of you," Rebecca told Adam as she hugged him.
