Chapter 8
Amy had been unconscious for four hours now and she still hadn't been discovered. It was nearing six in the morning when the railway workers were approaching her. When they saw the damage of the car, they sped up to her and tried to awaken her. Just like Jeff was, she was bleeding profusely from a large, deep cut above her right eyebrow. The blood had been pouring down her face, onto her clothes and all over the car. She was also covered in cuts and bruises. One of the men had immediately called emergency services on his cell phone and he could hear the sirens in the distance. Two of them climbed up the mountain to catch the ambulance's attention while the other stayed by Amy. A few people had come from the nearby houses to see what all the commotion was about. The paramedics gently brought her out from the car and laid her on a stretcher to check on her.
"Do you know who she is?" one of the policemen asked.
"No, we just found her like this," they replied, obviously concerned about her.
"Excuse me officer, that's Amy Dumas. She's in the WWF. You need to get in contact with Vince McMahon and tell her friend, Matt Hardy who's staying in the hotel about five blocks from here," a young girl frantically informed. The cops thanked her then climbed into the car in search for Matt as Amy was rushed to the hospital. The car was a complete wreck. All the windows were smashed in., the bonnet was crushed and there was scratched everywhere. The people that had gathered watched as everyone drove off, sirens blaring.
Meanwhile, Matt was in his hotel room, not having any idea what had happened to Amy. He had explained the entire story to his friends and they tried to assure him that she was okay. But he had dreamt that something had happened to her, not knowing it had actually occurred in reality. Her cell was off and she would normally call, regardless of circumstances of them arguing. It had happened before when they had fallen out. She knew how much he worried for her safety so she called to keep his mind at rest. But this time, she didn't call and he knew that something bad had happened. He went to the answer the door after hearing someone pound on it. As soon as he saw the cops there, he knew his fears were about to be answered.
"Are you Matt Hardy?" one of them asked.
"Yeah," he replied, slowly.
"I'm afraid we found Amy Dumas unconscious this morning after being involved in a car accident. She's at the local hospital now." The instant he heard this, he grabbed his shirt and pulled it on as he tore through the door and quickly followed the police officers to their car where they escorted him to the hospital. As soon as he found where her room was, he ran through the halls until he found her. But as he attempted to enter her room, the doctors stopped him and forbade him from seeing her as they were running tests on her. He slumped to the floor in the waiting area. For the next few hours, he watched people pass by, waiting patiently until he could see her. Because they had argued before she stormed off, he felt it was his fault that the accident had happened. A few of the wrestlers had been to visit but Matt sent them home after a while, as he knew it was going to be a long night.
"Matt," someone cried out. He looked up to see his dad and Amy's mother running towards them. "What happened?" her mum sobbed.
"All I know is that we argued at a bar. I tired to stop her because she'd been drinking but she pushed me away. This morning, the police told me that she'd crashed her car and it flipped over. The doctors won't let me see her," he explained sadly.
"Mr. Hardy?" a middle-aged nurse called out. "Amy's awake. She wants to see you but don't stay long." Amy's mother assured it was okay that he saw her first, as she knew what had been going on between the two. Matt hugged her thankfully then made his way to see Amy. When she saw him, she smiled widely.
"Hey you," she greeted, trying to sit up. Matt quickly walked over to her and supported her. They hugged tightly for a while. "I'm sorry about…" she started but he placed his finger to her lips, shushing her and shaking his head gently. They talked for a while what happened and Amy told him about her dream of Jeff, telling her things would work out. They had been chatting for half an hour when the nurse told him that Amy needed to rest. He was about to leave when she stopped him, grabbing his shirt, making him turn around. She brought him to her and kissed him softly on the lips. "I love you, remember that. Give me a few days to sort things out then we can be together." With that said, they said goodbye and he returned back to their parents and told them everything that had just happened.
A fortnight later, Matt was in the ring wrestling Adam Copeland for the Intercontinental championship title after Amy made him go back to work. Adam had suplexed him and was about to pin him when he heard the crowd roar. He silently asked Adam what was going on who had a genuinely surprised expression on his face. Out of the corner of his eye he saw the familiar flame-red hair on the top rope. It quickly sunk in that Amy had just gave Adam a hurricarana. She motioned for Matt to cover him. He promptly did so and gained the win, winning the IC title. Amy gave him a congratulatory hug, whispering to him that they needed to talk. They disappeared behind the curtain and returned to their locker room.
"What happened out there?" he asked as they sat on the sofa.
"It was Vince's idea for my return. Listen, this accident made me realise to grab any opportunity that passes my way. I felt guilty for loving you and I thought that somehow I would lose you too. But I've passed all that. I'm ready to be with you," she explained. Matt's face and heart lit up at her words. He pulled her close and kissed her gently yet passionately. His tongue carefully explored her mouth as her hands tangled in his jet-black hair. They pulled back after a while, flushed and hot. "I…love…you," she said, in between kisses.
"I love you too," he responded, leaning their foreheads together. Matt quickly showered and changed then they drove back to the hotel together. It was late at night so they retreated to bed. Matt wasn't sure whether she wanted to take things further so he didn't try anything on with her. But it turned out that she did. So, that night, he gently made love to her, wanting to show just how much he cared. Afterwards, they just held each, contentedly in each other's arms. From this day, they knew things were only going to get better.
Amy was walking through the park when a white flash appeared in front of her and Jeff emerged. He walked up to her and stroked her face gently where she still had her cut from the crash.
"I said I'd always look out for you and although I couldn't prevent the crash, I made sure that you wouldn't die. It was just for you to realise that's its okay to fall in love with, especially with Matt. He'll look after you and won't ever hurt you. From now on, I promise you only happiness," he told her, gripping her hand. He placed a soft kiss on her forehead then disappeared.
Matt was sitting lonesome on the old trampoline thinking of Jeff when he appeared from nowhere. He looked around and laughed lightly.
"This is where it all started for us. It also helped us find Amy. You fell secretly in love with her from the start. The day before I died, I realised it-you had that look in your eye. The car accident tested the limits of how you felt and you pushed your own emotions away and you were there as a friend for her. You're together now and I'm happy for you, and as I told her, I promise you only happiness in the future," he said then faded away, leaving Matt alone again.
