Amy went in search of Matt, worried about what was wrong with him. An hour
had passed and she still hadn't found him. Sighing, she retreated back to
the locker room. Whatever was bothering him, she wanted to help. He had
been so distracted the past few days but he wouldn't tell her anything,
then again, how do you tell your best friends that you love them?
Especially when it's your dead brother's girlfriend. She grabbed her bag
and proceeded to drive back to the hotel. But as she was passing Stephanie,
she remembered wanting to have a word.
"Steph, can we talk? It's pretty important," she asked hopefully.
"Yeah of course," she agreed. They walked into what Amy guessed was Vince's office. "So, what's up?"
"I've fallen in love with Matt!"
~Matt's Hotel Room~
Matt came out of the shower and went to lie on his bed. He didn't care that the bed was getting soaked. It didn't take long before he began to drift off. For the next hour, he slept peacefully. Obviously, he had dreamt about Amy. When he woke up, he yawned and stretched out. His muscles were aching, after staying away for several weeks, driving from hotel to hotel in the early hours of the morning. Sighing, he pulled his boxers on and crawled back into bed, falling asleep once again.
"Is there anyone there?" Matt called out. He was in a white room but he didn't know where exactly. It was the first time he had been to a place like this. He was confused.
"Matt, it's Jeff. I just want you to know that things will work out in the end. Be happy. I'll make sure you don't get hurt," Jeff said. Matt looked around but he still couldn't see his brother. But as soon as it all started, he was brought back to reality.
Meanwhile, back at the arena, Stephanie was still trying to take in what Amy had said. How could she have fallen for Matt when Jeff had passed away just recently? It didn't seem right. But the again, as the saying goes, you can't help who you fall in love with. She looked at Amy, trying to read her face but all she could see was some sort of apprehension.
"Amy, I can't believe this. What are you going to do? When did you realise this?" she asked, curiously.
"About a week ago. I can't tell him just yet. I'm not ready for another relationship." Tears slipped down her cheeks. Seeing this, Stephanie pulled her into a hug. All the emotions had got to her. Lately, she had tried to be strong and not cry but now, it was all too much to take.
The weeks slowly dragged by and before they knew it, another two months had passed. It was Jeff's birthday. He would have been twenty-four but instead he was lying in a coffin. Matt and Amy went to visit him at his grave. They took some flowers with them and set them down, clearing the old ones. She was already crying. No matter how many times they visited him, it still didn't get any easier. After a while, they finally left him. They were walking through the cemetery in silence. Even though it was only the end of August, it was still windy. Amy snaked her arms around Matt's waist as he placed his arm around her shoulder. Throughout the past few weeks, they had to surpass their feelings for one another. It was hard but had to be done. They both felt they would be betraying Jeff if they had acted upon their feelings. Maybe one day, things would work out. They were going to let the path of love guide them through.
