"Let's make it 2 weeks." Suggested
the Doctor.
"Are you kidding? That's way too
long."
"Sorry, but that's the only way you
can get into good fighting condition." The woman left, leaving Jeff frustrated.
Man! 2 weeks! Just when things can get any worse.
Jeff pulled back on his shirt and
was ready to leave until someone knocked on the door. He hobbled his way toward
the door and opened it. His heart jumped up his throat. "T-Trish?"
"Jeff, you're alright! I'm so glad."
She smiled and carefully gave him a hug. Jeff pulled away quickly and blushed.
"Y-y-yeah." Trish handed him a get-well card and a Scooby Doo balloon. "Here,
look what I got cha." Jeff gave her an uneasy smile. "Thanks." Trish helped
Jeff to a seat. "You look tired. Want me to read your card to you?" Jeff rested
his head on the chair and nodded.
"I don't mind. I was ready to leave
anyway's."
"Leave? Well, who was going to help
you walk to your car and stuff? Where's Matt at?" said Trish in a surprised
voice. "Surely he did'nt think you could drive home with a bad back?"
"Trish, you sound like my mom."
Laughed Jeff. "But in a good way." Trish opened up the card and cleared her
throat. "Ahem. Dear Jeff, I hope you get well soon and feel better. I want to
let you know, that you've been a good friend to me ever since we...um…well you
know and I do appreciate that. And I'll always love you. And I know you love
Scooby doo, so I got you a balloon of him."
Trish set the card down and tied the
balloon around Jeff wrist. "There you go."
"Thanks."
"Well, I'm done here. Want me to
drive you home?"
"Sure." Jeff managed to get up and
Trish took his arm. "Don't they give you crutches in this hospital?"
"Wait, maybe I should wait for the
doctor to return."
"You know, that's not a bad idea."
Trish forced Jeff back down in the chair and sat on the other chair across from
him.
"Jeffy?" she asked. Jeff looked at
her and thought why does she keep calling me that? Its like we go together
or something!
"I was thinking, about going out to dinner."
She saw the surprised look on Jeff's face and quickly said, "It's not like you
have to, cause well I'm not making you go! If you don't wanna go out, I
understand."
"You mean a date?"
Trish slowly nodded yes and she
narrowed her eyes down to her feet. "No, yes, I don't know!"
A date! Oh, man! Just great! She
asks me on a date! What the heck am I going to do? I don't even like her! Wait
a minute I do like her! No I don't.
"Well." She said.
"Yeah, I'll go with you." Trish hid
her red face and tried hard not to smile. "So it's a date then."
"It's okay." Just then the doctor
came back in. She saw Trish. "Hi, excuse me are you a family member of Mr.
Hardy here?"
"Yeah." She lied getting up from her
seat. "I'm his cousin." She lied.
"Well, I may need to talk to you."
"Okay." Said Trish. She waved bye to
Jeff and followed the doctor out the door. Jeff shook his head. As soon as he
thought he was falling asleep, a certain someone poked his head in the room.
"Yo Jeff! Wakey wakey."
Jeff did'nt have to open his eyes to
recognize the voice. It was Matt and it seemed that he wasn't mad at him
anymore. He hoped.
Matt came in followed by Amy holding
a stuffed teddy bear. "We came to pick you up. Ready?"
"No."
"We'd guess." Said Amy sitting at
the empty seat that was across from Jeff. "So what are you going to wear
tonight?" she asked grinning. Jeff raised his eyebrow and asked, "What?"
"Rainbow what are you going to dress
in for tonight? I mean hello! It's a dinner date for gods sakes."
"You over heard me and Trish
talking?" Jeff looked over at Matt who was busy reading the get-well card Trish
had gave him. "No! Don't read that!" cried Jeff ready to jump out of his seat
and snatch it, but Amy got in his way. She sat him back down. "No way Jeff."
Jeff, in humiliation covered his face, as he heard Matt began to read it out
loud. After the torture was over he heard his brother making kissy noises
towards him.
"Quit it." Said Jeff.
"Jeff, come on. It's just a date.
Nothing serious." Said Matt handing the card to Amy.
"On the contrary, it is serious."
Said Amy. "It's so cute. Jeff has a date. Jeff has a date. Jeff has a date."
"Amy, do you have to do that?" said
Jeff. "Would you guys quit mocking me? It's not like I never gone out before?"
"Jeff, this one is special." Said
Matt. "You go out with Trish." Him and Amy began to sing their chant again,
making Jeff want to throw himself out the building. This was so embarrassing.
"You guy's are such eaves droppers."
"Awwww look, it's a Scooby doo
balloon." Pointed out Amy. "And it's tied on Jeff's wrist, like a little baby."
She cooed. "That's so sweet."
"Did Trish do that?" snickered Matt.
"Gosh, you two are a match made in heaven. I did'nt know she liked Scooby doo."
Amy and Matt began to laugh and Jeff began to think about taking his life
before the teasing got worse.
"Ha, ha very funny." He mumbled.
"Your making me feel better already." He said scartastically. Matt and Amy
tried to hold on to their laughter, but couldn't.
"I'm outta here." Jeff tried to get
up, but had trouble. It grabbed Matt's attention. He took his brother's arm and
Amy took his other arm.
"Now you two decide to get serious."
He said.
"Sorry, Jeff, but it was so funny."
Squealed Amy in laughter.
"Well, it wasn't funny to me."
"Sorry man." Apologized Matt with an
amuse smile. "I couldn't help it either."
"So dose that mean you forgive me
now?"
"As long as you promise not to try
to kill yourself again."
"I promise."
"Then that's nothing to worry about
huh? We have to worry about your D-A-T-E."
