"I'm going to do it, guys. Today!" Matt said emphatically. He wasn't sure who he was trying to convince, the guys or himself. He thought about what Jeff said, and he knew he had to do something.
"Sure you will buddy..." Chris just rolled his eyes.
"Who convinced you this time?" Adam asked.
"Jeff said a few things that made me think, and he's right."
"Did you hear that? He said me, just for the record," Jeff exclaimed excitedly.
"What? What record?" Matt asked.
"It's just a figure of speech, bro. You know, I'd like some credit when you two are getting married."
"Right... Well, I'm going to find Amy now. Wish me luck!"
"Don't sweat it, man. It's all good," Jay called out after him. Matt walked briskly around backstage in search for the flaming red head. He heard voice coming from around the corner, and the feminine one was definately Amy. As he rounded the corridor, he heard, "It's a date." Matt quickly turned around and started to run. He felt like his heart was ripped out of his chest and cut in half. Amy was talking to Robbie, one of the stagehands.
"Matt!" Amy called out, but Matt wouldn't stop. He had finally worked up the courage to ask her out, and even before he could ask he was denied. He didn't think that it would hurt so much. He ran back into the change room; Jay was the only in there.
"So, how'd it go?" Jay asked grinning.
"I didn't ask her," he answered sitting on the bench putting his head in his hands.
"What? Why not?"
"Because when I got there to ask her, she already had plans."
"What?!"
"She's going out with Robbie tonight."
"So?!" Jay exclaimed. "Who cares? Ask her to go out on Friday! You are totally whacked out, man!"
"I can't. I just can't. Shoot, my match..." Matt suddenly remember and bolted out of the room. He was thankful that he didn't have enough time to talk to Amy; he wasn't sure he could handle anything she said to him.
"Matt..." Amy started, but their music had already started. The threesome made their way down to the ring. Matt tried his best to act normally for the crowd. A few minutes later, "You think you know me," was heard and Jay and Adam came down. The match started, but Matt was still distracted.After a few minutes, Jeff tagged him in, and Matt snapped back into reality. Even in the ring, he was still thinking about what had happened; a dangerous thing to do when inside. Before he even realized what he was doing, he felt a big foot smack against the side of his head.

In a blick of an eye, Matt was down. Amy could tell he was distracted and that his mind was NOT on the match, and she knew what the cause was. She tried to find him, but he got away, and by the time he came to the curtain, it was too late and they had to go to the ring.
"JUST PIN HIM!" Amy yelled wanting to get the match over and done with. The Hardy's were supposed to lose anyway, and what was the point of prolonging things? Adam quickly glanced over at Amy and listened to what she said. He pinned Matt for the win, and the two quickly left the ring with their hands over the heads in 'mock' celebration. Amy jumped onto the mat and Jeff was right at her heels.
"Matt? You okay?" Amy asked leaning over him, feeling his head for any unusual bumps.
"Uggghhh...." was Matt's response.
"How are you feeling, Matt? Can you sit up at all?" Earl Hebner asked quickly joining team extreme in the middle of the ring.
"Matt, what were you thinking about?" Jeff yelled upset. Amy knew that seeing Matt get hurt bothered Jeff as much as it bothered her. "Don't do that again, you idiot!"
"I'm sorry..." he answered groaning.
"Can you get up, baby?" Amy asked trying to help him in any way she could.
"Should I get a few people here?" Earl asked.
"No, I can get up by myself," Matt answered quickly.
"We're not letting you. You've done enough," Jeff said propping Matt up with his arm. Jeff and Amy helped Matt up and the crowd cheered for him. They slowly, but efficiently made their way up the ramp and backstage where Jay and Adam were waiting.
"Shit, Matt!! I'm so sorry! I thought I said to block it, but you must've not heard me. I'm so sorry, man," Adam said quickly as Matt sat down on a nearby chair.
"Don't sweat it man, it wasn't your fault, it was my own. I wasn't paying attention," Matt answered.
"You're damn right. I was your fault! Don't ever do that again, you asshole!" Amy suddenly yelled. All of the guys looked at her, confusion obvious in their eyes.
"Ames..." Jeff started.
"No, don't. We all know it was Matt's own stupid fault. And I..." Amy cut him off but then couldn't continue. She felt the familiar stinging in her eyes and the guys looked horrified.
"Amy..." Matt reached for her.
"No! Just leave me alone," Amy walked away quickly.
