Chapter Thirty Nine
After sitting next to Mandy for about 30 minutes with no response Adam said,
"I'll come back and see you later... maybe then you'll feel like talking. I love you with all my heart Mandy and I would never intentionally want to hurt you." With that Adam stood up and left the room and returned to the waiting room where the others were eagerly any news Adam might have. He went and sat down quietly without saying anything. Once seated he put his head in his hands. Allie noticed this and walked over and sat down next to him. She said,
"Is everything ok Adam?" Adam looked up at her and said,
"Mandy wouldn't talk to me..."
"Do you want me to go and talk to her?"
"Would you? She'd probably talk to you seeing you didn't hit her with a chair..."
"Adam you can't blame yourself for what happened. You should know that accidents do happen, especially in wrestling."
"Yeah I guess..." with that Allie stood up and walked to see Mandy. She knocked on the door before entering. Mandy didn't move, look up or speak because she thought it might have been Adam returning and also she really wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone. Allie walked in and sat in the east next to the bed.
"Mandy..." Allie said softly. Mandy moved her head so that she was looking at Allie,
"Are you ok?" Allie asked. Mandy didn't reply "Vince has organised for someone to bring your belongs from the arena here."
"Thanks.... Where's Matt?"
"He's in the waiting room why?"
"Could you send him in please"
"Ok but Mandy you know that Adam..." Allie started before being cut off
"Oh and if Lily calls can you not tell her about me being here"
"But Mandy... what about Adam"
"Can you get Matt please. I want to thank him for helping me."
"Ok ... but you should really talk to Adam" Mandy didn't respond, she just turned her head and faced the bare wall.
Moments later there was another knock at the door and a familiar and comforting voice said,
"Oh Mandy are you ok? I've been so worried about you."
"Matty..." Mandy said holding out one of her hands towards him. He gently took hold of it as he sat down.
"I thought you'd never come and visit me" Mandy said
"I would have come sooner but Adam and Allie beat me to it ... sorry"
"That's ok, I'm just so glad that you are here now."
The two sat talking for ages together. They were interrupted by Matt's mobile ringing. He picked it up and said,
"Hello"
"Hey Bro" Jeff replied
"Hows the honeymoon?" Matt laughed
"It's been lots of fun ... well until we watched the show. Lily and I are a bit worried about Mandy because we saw what happened ... and Lily's been trying to call Mandy on her mobile with no response"
"She's right next to me ... would you like me to put her on?"
"Yeah that would be great" Matt handed the phone to Mandy and whispered,
"It's Jeff. He and Lily are concerned"
"Thanks: she replied before talking to Jeff and Lily for a few minutes. She told them both that she was fine and that it was all part of the show. She thought that it would be better to tell a little lie then have them worry about her while they were meant to be having fun together.
When Mandy finished on the phone she handed it back to Matt.
"Would you like me to let you get some rest?" Matt asked
"Could you please stay with me. I really don't want to be alone right now"
"Ok I'll stay as long as you want me too. Is there anything you want me to get you?"
"No thanks. Having you here is just what I want and need right now"
Matt ended up falling asleep in the seat next to Mandy. He was awoken the next morning by the nurse checking on Mandy. When the nurse left the room, Mandy slowly awoke. She looked over at Matt with a painful look on her face.
"Still sore?"
"Like you wouldn't believe."
"Is there anything I can do?"
"No thanks. I'm sure I'll cope."
While Mandy and Matt continued to talk and joke around, Adam knocked on the door. He said,
"Mandy can I please talk to you." Matt stood up and said
"I'll let you two have some privacy. I'll be in the waiting room if you need me..." before leaving the room. Adam walked over to Mandy and said,
"I know you don't want to see me and that you probably blame me for your accident but Mandy it was an accident ... please don't shut me out... I love you so much" Mandy starred at Adam blankly for a while before saying,
"I'm sorry Adam but ... I don't love you"
"What? ... How can you say that? After all we've been through. This has something to do with Matt doesn't it"
"Partly. But things between us have changed so much lately..." Mandy said before turning her head away from Adam and facing the wall.
"Mandy can we at least talk about this?" Adam pleaded but Mandy just ignored him. He finally decided to leave the room and was quite upset about what Mandy had just told him. Adam passed Matt in the waiting room and glared at him before picking up his belongings and leaving the hospital. Matt got up and walked back over to Mandy's room and found her crying softly. When she noticed Matt she tried to hide her tires.
"Are you ok Mands?" Matt said concerned
"I just told Adam that I don't love him..."
"Mandy are..." Matt stated before the doctor entered the room.
"Sorry to interrupt you two but I've come to let Mandy know that I'm satisfied with your recovery and so I'm releasing you." The doctor said looking at Mandy
"Thank you so much doctor. I was starting to go really mad in here."
"Just make sure you take thing easily and that you get lots of rest. I'm also going to prescribe you some pain kills which should help out with the pain."
"I will and thanks"
"I just need you to sign some paper work before you go" he said handing her the release documents and a pen. Luckily Mandy had dislocated her left shoulder which meant she was about to sign the documents easily.
Once the doctor left Matt helped Mandy to get dressed before he drove her home. When they got to Mandy's place Matt carried her bags up to the apartment for her.
"Would you like me to make you something for lunch?" he asked
"No thanks, I'm not that hungry. I think I might just go and lie down"
"Would you like me to stay with you?"
"I think I need some time along ... if that's ok?"
"Yeah that's cool. I'll came and visit you later and bring you something nice for dinner."
"Ok sounds good..." Mandy said as she walked off to her bedroom.
Matt watched Mandy walk into her room before he headed for the door. He couldn't understand Mandy's change in mood but described it must have had something to do with her break up with Adam. He then decided to give Allie a call to let her know that Mandy had been discharged from the hospital and was now resting at home.
"Hello" Allie asked as she picked up her mobile
"Hey Allie its Matt"
"Oh hey Matt ... is Mandy ok?"
"Yeah she's fine ... that's kinda why I called. She's been released from hospital and is back at the apartment."
"Oh that's so good"
"Yeah but umm I think she might need some company ... or at least someone to talk too"
"Oh what's wrong?"
"I think she should probably tell you that"
"Ok I'll head over there now. Thanks for the call ..."
Around thirty minutes later Allie arrived at the apartment and she headed straight to Mandy's room. As she approached she could hear Mandy crying. She knocked on the door and said,
"Hey Mandy are you ok?" Allie then walked in and sat on the edge of Mandy's bed.
"Yeah I'm fine" Mandy sniffed
"Mandy I've known you for so long ... I can tell when you've been crying ... also I could hear you and can easily tell by your red eyes that you've been crying."
"Oh Allie ... why does life have to be so complicated?"
"Mandy what are you talking about?"
Mandy told Allie the fully story about what had been going on between her and Matt. She also told her that she'd broken up with Adam today. Afterwards Allie sat stunned at everything, finding it all a bit too much and something she'd never thought a friend would do - especially Mandy.
"So umm ... what are you going to do?" Allie asked
"That's the thing I haven't got a clue. I love both of them ... but in different ways... what do you think I should do?"
"I think you need time to yourself to work things out ... like your feelings. Otherwise you'll be torn between them forever and hurt both guys longer."
"Thanks Allie ... Thanks for listening to me and not judging." Mandy said before hugging her friend softly
"Any time Mandy. Whenever you need to talk I'm always here for you. Just remember that"
"Thanks I will"
"I'm sorry Mandy but I gotta get back to work ... and also let you have sometime alone to think"
"Ok. Will you be back tonight?"
"I'm not sure. I think Shane and I are spending some quality time together. But I can always cancel if you want the company"
"No that's cool. You should have a romantic night with him"
"Oh I will ... give me a call if you want talk or something."
"Ok I will. Thanks"
"See you later." Allie said
"Bye"
Mandy spent the rest of the day going though all of her photo albums, looking at photos of her and Adam together and he and Matt. At one stage she got so emotional and confused that she throw the photos everywhere. She was about to go and pick them up when she heard the doorbell ring. She walked over to the door and opened it. Adam stood in front of her. She took one look at him before going to shut the door, however, Adam put his foot out so that the door stayed open. He then said,
"Mandy I have to talk to you and I'm not leaving until you hear me out." Mandy looked at him again before walking off to her bedroom. He followed her and noticed all the photos around the room.
"This is for you" Adam said hanging Mandy an envelope.
"What's this?" Mandy asked
"It's a front row ticket to the next Pay Per View"
"But why?"
"I was hoping you could do something, There's a while before the event and I was hoping that over this time you could think about your feelings further. Then if by the PPV you've changed your mind and you want to be with me, then you simply use this ticket and show your love ... and if you want Matt ... well its simple, don't show up..."
"But..."
"No buts. Please consider it Mandy and think about all the good times we've spent together." Adam said before walking out of Mandy's room and leaving the apartment. As he left he bumped into Matt who was carrying take away for Mandy and himself. They both looked at each other before Adam walked out the door. Matt walked into the kitchen and called,
"Hey Mandy, you hungry?" Mandy appeared from her bedroom and looked at Matt.
"Is everything ok? I mean why did Adam come over?" Matt asked curiously. Mandy was about to say something before she started to cry. Matt put down the dinner and walking over to Mandy to try and comfort her.
After sitting next to Mandy for about 30 minutes with no response Adam said,
"I'll come back and see you later... maybe then you'll feel like talking. I love you with all my heart Mandy and I would never intentionally want to hurt you." With that Adam stood up and left the room and returned to the waiting room where the others were eagerly any news Adam might have. He went and sat down quietly without saying anything.
