Chapter 3.

The After Effect

Mandy: Can we-

Doctor: You can see your brother now.

Jeff: I'm his brother. She's his girlfriend.

Jeff and I went back to the room that Matt was in. He was attached to many different machines and had needles in his arms. Matt's head and ribs were wrapped up.

Mandy: Oh, Matt. I'm so sorry.

Matt: (straining) Mandy?

Mandy: Yeah it's me.

Matt: Jeff?

Jeff: Yeah, Matt?

Matt: Mandy, do you love me?

Mandy: (crying) Yes, Matt. I love you.

Jeff: Mandy, you want me to leave?

Mandy: If you want.

Jeff: I'm going to go to the vending machine, you want anything?

Mandy: No that's okay.

Jeff kissed me on the cheek and then Matt then he walked out.

Matt: Mandy, do you really love me?

Mandy: Yes I do.

Matt: I've loved you since the first day I met you. You're all I think about.

Mandy: Why did you hit the tree? WHY?!

Matt: I-I tried to stop but the brak- the breaks didn't stop.

Mandy: They what?

Matt: They didn't stop.

Mandy: They gave out?

Matt: No it was as if they were cut.

Matt: Where's Jeff?

Mandy: He went to get him something to eat.

Matt: I don't think I'm going to make it, Mandy.

Mandy: Yes you will. Don't say that. DON'T SAY IT!! (Crying)

Matt: Don't cry. Please don't cry for me, baby doll.

Mandy: You are going to make it. You're gonna make it and capture belts. Every belt you can get a match for. You're gonna get them all, sweetheart.

Matt: Are you going to help me?

Mandy: Yes, I am.

Matt: You really think I'm going to make it?

Mandy: Ye-

The door opened and the doctor walked in.

Doctor: I'm sorry to interrupt but visiting hours are almost over.

Mandy: I'm staying.

Jeff walked in the room.

Jeff: I am too.

Doctor: Okay.

Matt: Do you really?

Mandy: Yes, I do think you're going to make it.

Jeff: I do too, Matt. You're my big brother and I know that you are going to make it.

Mandy: And y'all are going to get all the gold. When I get the chance I'll talk to the Creative Team and get them to write it in when you get back.

Matt: The Hardy's will be tag champs again?

Mandy: Yes. You need to rest.

Matt shut his eyes and fell right to sleep. Jeff and I sat in the chairs and went to sleep after a while. We found out the next day that Matt was fine. He had nothing but a few scratches and bruises.
