Chapter 3: She's Baaack
Matt didn't even have a chance to react, everything was happening so quickly. Amy felt like a million needles were embedding themselves into her skin.
"I, I c c can't feel my legs," Amy said, fear creeping into her voice.
"You're going to be okay," Matt reassured her.
Matt grabbed her under the arms, while Amy grabbed his forearms. Her wet, freezing fingers tried desperately to hold on. Matt had her halfway out, when she started loosening her grip on his arms.
"Amy, don't let go!" he commanded. Alarmed, he noticed her eyes were starting to slam shut. "Amy, stay with me, stay awake!" he pleaded. He tightened his hold on her forearms and with one last grunt and heave Matt finally pulled her body free of the icy water. Amy was sprawled on top of him. He eased himself out from under her, quickly took his jacket off and wrapped it around her. Tenderly, Matt scooped her up in his arms, and cradled Amy to his chest. He raced back up the hill and onto the verandah, only to be met by Paul and Stephanie.
"What happened?" Stephanie said with a gasp, clapping a hand over her mouth.
"She fell through the ice," Matt said quickly. "Look, I need one of you guys to go get a doctor."
"I'm on it," Paul said. Stephanie held the door open for Matt and Paul.
"Be careful," Paul said, giving her a kiss on the cheek.
"Always." Paul gave her a look that said, 'Yeah right', and then he was gone. Stephanie and Matt dashed upstairs to Amy's room.
Amy's arm was dangling limply at her side but she mumbled to Matt, "I'm f f freezing."
"I know baby, we're going to get you warm though," Matt said, pulling her closer to him. Matt managed to toss Amy's keys to Stephanie and quickly she unlocked the door. Matt strode briskly into the room. He was just about to lay her down on the bed when Stephanie cried out frantically, "No don't!"
Startled, Matt held Amy in mid-air, above the bed.
"Why, what's the matter?" he asked, a puzzled look on his face.
"Sorry, I think I overreacted just a bit." Matt could hear the smile in her voice. "We need to get her out of those wet clothes though," Stephanie said gently.
His face turning a bright red, Matt gulped, "We?"
Stephanie shook her head, smiling, "As in I."
"Oh," Matt said looking very relieved. Matt carried Amy into the bathroom and gently sat her down. "It's important you stay awake hon," Matt said.
Startled, Amy opened her eyes, "Oh, okay," she mumbled. Matt closed the bathroom door behind him and let Stephanie do the rest. Matt paced back and forth in the hotel room, wondering where Paul was with the doctor.
"Is everything okay Steph?" Matt asked anxiously.
"Yeah, everything is fine, I just need your help getting her into bed. Matt carried Amy to the bed and tucked the covers in around her. Matt pulled a chair over to the bed and wearily, sank down into it.
"I heard about the story lines," Stephanie said softly.
"Huh?" Matt said, lifting his head up.
"I said, I heard about the story lines," she said a bit louder. The room was engulfed in shadow, except for the light of the moon, enabling Matt to see her serious expression.
"It was my idea for Jeff to get a new manager, but the dialogue was not," she stated firmly. "Personally, I thought it was too harsh."
"Yeah, so did we," Matt said matter-of-factly, "but I didn't think you had written the dialogue, it didn't seem like your style," he said with a grin.
Stephanie could see his smile in the darkness, and matched his smile with her own.
"I warned the writers you guys weren't going to be thrilled with it."
The smile fell from his face, "So, they wrote it anyway huh," he said. Matt kept his voice under control, but Stephanie could hear the anger in it. "Let me guess, they don't plan on putting us back together, right?" he asked, his voice laced with sarcasm.
"Probably not," Stephanie said, shaking her head.
"Okay, fine, since they've split us up I'll leave it at that, but if the writers want me to do anything extreme against Amy or Jeff, I won't do it. I know I'm speaking for Jeff and Amy, but I doubt they would either."
"I know, I've already thought of that, that's why I'll see what I can do," she said smiling softly.
"Thanks," Matt said, returning her smile. Just then, a knock sounded on the door. Matt looked through the peephole, "Good, Paul's back with the doctor," Matt said relieved.
As soon as Matt opened the door the first question that popped out of the doctor's mouth was, "Did you let her fall asleep?" he asked rather abruptly as he breezed past them to examine Amy.
"Uh, no," Matt said, a touch of annoyance in his voice.
"Good," he said briskly as he leaned over Amy.
"I'd guess we'd better go and let him do his thing," Stephanie said softly. The quietly crept into the hall.
"Geez, what a pompous a".. Matt started to say, but Paul cut him off.
"Austin should have been here, he would have given the doc a most memorable salute," Paul said with a smirk.
Stephanie elbowed him in the ribs, but she couldn't keep the laughter from escaping her lips.
"Uh, how did you manage to find a doctor?" Stephanie inquired, quickly changing the subject.
Paul looked sheepishly at Matt and Stephanie, "At a doctor's convention they're having here."
"Oh, more like him," Matt said sarcastically, jerking his thumb towards the door.
"Actually, he was the best one, all the rest were so busy taking notes they didn't even notice I was there." Just then, Jeff came running up to them.
"Is Amy okay? All Chris told me was that she'd been hurt."
"I think she will be alright," Matt replied, none to confidently.
"What happened?" Jeff asked.
"This, is what happened," Chris said, striding toward them, holding a sign. "Right after Paul told me about her "accident", I went outside and scouted around the area of the pond where she fell in and found this in the bushes. He held up the sign, which read: Warning: Thin Ice.
Jeff's jaw dropped and Stephanie's face whitened. Concerned, Paul wrapped his arms around her waist, gently pulling her against him. Matt's jaw muscle tightened as Chris said, with a frown, "Amy's little accident was quite intentional." Nora came running up to the group, out of breath.
"Guys, take a look at this," she said excitedly, handing Chris a piece of paper. Nora doubled over, taking in deep breaths. "I...found it... on the verandah," she said, breathless. She finally brought her head up, only to look into the concerned eyes of Jeff Hardy. *Oh gosh, I could lose myself in those eyes,* Nora thought to herself, as she gazed dreamily into them. Nora shook her head and felt her heart sink as Jeff's gaze became expressionless and he focused his attention on Chris.
"It's almost as if the stalker wants us to find him," Nora said in surprise.
"Very good, though it's rather like I found you," a voice said from behind Nora.
*No, it can't be!* was Nora's last coherent thought as everything started to sway.
