Brianna and David sat on the couch of the hotel room together, occasionally watching Miranda on the bed as Matt comforted her weak sister. It broke Bri's heart to see her sister in such a horrible state of mind. She had to stop that horrible red-haired demon from causing her family anymore pain.
"I've never seen her like this..." Brianna sighed, looking at Miranda and Matt lying together in bed. Miranda was asleep and Matt was with her to make sure no one would hurt her again.
"Honey, I don't know what's gotten into her. Maybe she's right... Maybe we should give up on Amy. I don't want you getting hurt." David put his arm around her and gave her a sweet kiss on the cheek.
"I don't want Amy to win. She's hurt too many people. I'm not going to give up so easily." Brianna clenched her fist angrily.
"I know you're angry, but think of what will happen to your sister, to you, to me, to Matt. Think." David protested, trying to get Brianna to think straight.
Miranda awoke with a startle. Brianna rushed over to the bed as Matt was hazily waking up. Miranda was trying to catch her breath as David got her some water. Brianna relaxed as soon as Miranda was calmed down. Brianna looked at her sister shaking in Matt's arms and got an angry rush over her. Amy turned her sister into a nervous wreck. David pulled Brianna up from the bed and put a coat on her.
"We're going out to get some food. We need to get our minds off Amy and try to enjoy ourselves." David tried pulling Bri to the doorway.
"I can't. I have to stay with her. Look at her! She nearly had a heart attack!" Brianna shoved David away.
"Matt will be here with her. She'll be fine. You are a nervous wreck. You need to get some fresh air and think about something other than Amy Dumas." David opened up the door and brought Brianna into the hallway.
"How can you think about something other than Amy Dumas after she practically destroyed my sister back there??" Brianna angrily shouted at David. "Don't you have a heart?"
"Yes! I have a heart! But I'm thinking along the lines of what Miranda is also! We can't get anymore involved in this wild goose chase! It's tearing people apart! It's hurting people! Look at Stephanie, Matt, Miranda... Damnit, Brianna, look at yourself!" David broke down and cried, as Brianna looked on more shocked than ever.
Inside the hotel room, Matt cradled Miranda in his arms, gently holding her against his chest. Miranda was still shaken up inside, afraid to tell anyone what happened. She gulped and looked up at Matt, who had tears rolling down his cheeks. She pulled herself up to Matt's soft face and kissed his wet cheek. Matt embraced her in his strong arms and held her close to his warm body. Miranda sighed and sat on the edge of the bed. She looked up at Matt and knew she had to tell him what had happened.
"Matt... I need to tell you something." Miranda took his hand in hers and grasped it tightly, holding it close to her heart.
"What is it, M? You know you can tell me anything." Matt put his other arm around her shoulders to comfort her.
"Back at Amy's house... she threatened me." Miranda stared at the ground, knowing Matt would be filled with anger. "She pulled a knife out on me and told me if I told anyone what happened, she'd cut my insides out. She said if I didn't give up, she'd hurt Bri and David and kill you. I don't want her to hurt anyone else. I love them. She told me she'd kill me, but I don't care what happens to me. Bri is getting too much involved in this and she's going to get hurt. I don't want her to get hurt. I love her. I love you. I don't want anyone to die because of my fault. Oh, hold me, Matt; I'm more scared than I've ever been right now. I can't go on like this anymore."
Matt sighed and held Miranda to his warm muscular body. She buried her head in his long-sleeved shirt as he petted her back, trying to calm her down. "Why didn't you tell us earlier? I don't care what Amy threatened. I would have rather you told me sooner so I could've put a stop to her."
"We can't, Matt. She's psycho! She's going to kill everyone. She and Chris are beyond insanity... we have to get out of here. I don't want anyone else getting hurt." Miranda was hysterical.
"Miranda, we can't run from her. She has to be stopped. She's hurt Stephanie, you, and me. She's not getting away with this. I'm going to stop her... or I'll die trying."
"Matt, aren't you afraid of her? You can't be serious!" Miranda looked up at him.
Matt cracked a small smile and brushed the small strands of her blonde hair out of her face. "Hey, fear is only a four-letter word..."
"I've never seen her like this..." Brianna sighed, looking at Miranda and Matt lying together in bed. Miranda was asleep and Matt was with her to make sure no one would hurt her again.
"Honey, I don't know what's gotten into her. Maybe she's right... Maybe we should give up on Amy. I don't want you getting hurt." David put his arm around her and gave her a sweet kiss on the cheek.
