Chapter 3-Brother, My Brother
***************************
This chapter is in the form of a song fic, I thought it fitted really well, the song is by Blessed Union of Souls and is called Brother, My Brother. Enjoy!
Dear Diary
Today's the day, Vengeance, I know someone's gonna end up getting hurt. I heard this song today, Brother, My Brother, it almost made me cry. I can identify, the lyrics are almost identical to what Matt and I are going through. Maybe it was a message from God, or Mommy. I hate all that this has become, a war, against blood. We also got the storylines for the next few months, Matt and Lita break-up, and she gets closer to me, though I would never want that to be the case. I think maybe life would be better if I wasn't here sometimes, if I faded away like a picture, losing its color and vibrance, just fade away.
Invisible, untouchable, unreachable, unloved, unwanted,
Drained of life,
Of love,
Of color,
A picture on the wall,
Until it is needed again.
Later
Jeff

Brother, my brother
Tell me, what are we fighting for?
We've got to end this war
We should love one another
Matt toweled his hair and pulled on his silver shirt, The same shirt I wore when this all began, Gotta remember to burn this after the match
Matt felt tears prick at his eyes again, but he knew it was all for the best and who knows what'd happen in the future, short of God himself…
Oh can't we just pretend
This war never began?
We can try
Brother, my brother
Their music hit, they came out one after the other, Jeff first.
Amy tried to keep the pain from showing in her eyes, she felt kinda selfish, only caring that she and Matt were breaking up, not that the brothers were. They sized each other up, even though they knew each other anyway.
We faced each other from different sides
The anger burns; can't remember why
It's kind of crazy to cause such pain
Our foolish pride makes us hate this way
Matt and Jeff locked up, went through the motions, but Jeff felt empty, as if he wasn't even there. They crowd were behind both, and they were evenly matched.
Every blow Matt felt his heart brake even more.
We watch our world fall apart
Tell me what good is winning
When you lose your heart?
Matt tried for a twist of fate, but Jeff pushed him away. He did a flying dropkick to his older brother and climbed up to the top rope.
Brother, my brother
Tell me, what are we fighting for?
Isn't life worth so much more?
We should love one another
Oh can't we just pretend
This war never began?
Tell me why
Brother, my brother
Yes
Jeff looked around and did the Gunz atop the turnbuckle. He steeled himself looked down at Matt who nodded. Jeff felt himself rise, fly so high up, he turned mid air for a fantastic and perfect Swanton bomb.
We can try
brother, my brother
Let's take a moment and look deep inside
And say we're willing to give love a try
But something was wrong, things started to go in slow motion, as Jeff saw the ring come up at him straight ahed. He wasn't completely turned over and he was horribly close to the ground. Jeff connected painfully and hit the mat with a sickening thud.
We're not as different as we seem to be
There's so much more to me then what you see
Don't have to be this way
Think about the consequences
Turn around and walk away
Matt's expression turned to horror as he saw Jeff impact from where he rolled to the side. Jeff crunched hard into the mat, back of the head first, a recoil shot through Jeff's body and he convulsed, writhing in pain.
Brother, my brother
Tell me, what are we fighting for?
Isn't life worth so much more?
We should love one another
Matt screamed and ran towards Jeff forgetting character, forgetting everything except for his baby brother, in front of him, fallen in a heap.
Amy couldn't believe what she'd just seen. She knew the Swanton was one of the most dangerous moves in the business, but never thought it could actually harm Jeff, one of her best friends, her Jeffy.
Oh can't we just pretend
This war never began?
Tell me why, Tell me why
Brother, my brother
Yes,
Tell me why
Jeff saw black dots swim before his vision, he felt hot and cold at the same time, and he felt a blinding pain up and down his back, and basically everywhere. He couldn't move anything.
He saw Matt scream and the pain and fear in his eyes. Jeff
saw his vision blur just as a distraught Matt reached his side.
Brother, my brother
Oh... What are we fighting for?
Isn't life just worth so much more?
Love one another
Tell me why
Brother, my brother
Tell me why
Can't we just love one another?
Brother, my brother
"Jeffy. You're gonna be okay, we're gonna get you outta here, and it'll all be fine."
"Matt, I feel weird, well I feel nothing, except pain. I- I wanna say, I love you Matty. I never meant to hurt you ever, never meant to do anything wrong. You're my everything. Everything I wish I could be…"
"Don't talk that way, like it's over, you'll be fine okay? Just hang in there. You are gonna get some help, and then we'll take some time off and we can do anything you want, just you and me, and Aimes if you want? Please don't talk like that Jeffy."
"I love you Matt."
Oh, We can try,
Brother, my brother
