"Amy?" Matt called up the stairs. "Vince is on the phone for you." Amy came from her room and down the staircase, taking the phone receiver from Matt.
"Hey Vince, what's up?" she asked, landing on the sofa.
"Well, I was just wondering how you were doing and if you'll be back anytime soon?" Mr. McMahon asked.
"Umm, I'm doing ok. I have no idea when I'll be back though," she explained. "I'm going to the hospital tomorrow for a check-up." After talking with her boss for another five minutes, she hung up the phone. Matt had told Vince that she had been making herself sick and he had warned her to get help or she'd be fired. Of course, Amy promised to get better but whenever she ate, she wanted to throw it up again. But she was determined to get better. Amy wanted her old life back, when she was happy all the time, when she hung out with her friends, when she wrestled.
It was Tuesday morning and Amy wanted to do something with Matt. He had been so patient with her over the past three weeks since coming out of hospital and she wanted to show him her appreciation. Most of her friends were beginning to get fed up, forcing her to eat when she didn't want to. But Matt sat with her when she ate and talked to her casually, so her mind wasn't thinking of what she was eating. It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when Amy found Matt outside, playing with Cody, even though her dog was climbing on top of Matt, licking him to death.
"Hey, what you doing?" she asked, laughing at the sight in front of her.
"Getting trampled to death by your dog!" he joked back, standing up so he could brush the dog hair from his clothes. "Anyways, how do you feel today?"
"Mixed. Matt, I was thinking and umm, I'm going to get professional help."
"How do you mean?"
"As from Saturday, I'm going to a clinic. I don't want to be ill anymore, I want to be better again and I'd be lying if I said that I'm going to get through my condition here."
"Wow Ames. Well, I'll be here for you regardless. I'm glad you want help."
~Friday Night~
Amy stood at the foot of her bed, folding some clothes before placing them in her suitcase. Today, she was leaving for the clinic, only had another hour before going. Matt walked into the room and sat on the bed.
"How long do you think you'll be gone for?" he asked, handing her a pile of t-shirts and a pair of baggy pants.
"A few months is all I can say. It depends on when I'm better," she replied. After setting the last pieces of clothing in, she zipped up the suitcase and joined her best friend, sitting next to him. Taking his hand between hers, she said, "Matt, thanks for being there for me. You have no idea how much it means to me." They hugged tightly, both on the verge of tears. This was the last time they were going to properly see each other. Fair enough, he could visit, but it wouldn't be often with work schedules and all. Amy couldn't stop the tears and let them free-fall down her cheeks. Matt wiped them away with his sleeve then kissed her forehead. Grabbing her bag and jacket, they went down the stairs. She took one last look at the house before they left the house. She was going to say goodbye to Jeff, Shane, Shannon, Gil and Beth before actually leaving for the clinic.
Once arriving at Jeff's house, she was immediately tackling by everyone pulling her into one huge hug. Matt laughed at the expression on her face, begging for help as they squeezed the air from her lungs! Finally, they all released her and sat down to talk for half an hour before Amy individually hugged everyone and said her goodbyes to everyone. Soon enough, her and Matt were on their way to the clinic, located in Tampa, Florida. They spent most of the night driving to their destination and finally arrived at 7am. They went for a quick bite to eat before making their way to the Hyde Park Counselling Centre.
"Hello, how can I help you?" the receptionist asked politely.
"I'm Amy Dumas, I rung up the other day. I have anorexia," she explained, feeling her eyes watering but fought against the tears. She felt Matt squeeze her hand consolingly. After talking with a few of the workers, they finally led Amy to her new accommodation. Matt went with her and sat on the cold bed with her. They both remained silent for a while before he kneeled in front of her.
"I'm going to miss you," he began, "but anytime you need me, I'm just a phone call away. I'll visit you when I can."
"Good," she laughed through tears. "You are the one thing that has kept me sane through all of this."
"Who said you were still sane?" he joked, causing her to playfully slap him upside the head. "I'm only messing around. Well, I've got to go now. Get well Amy. Travelling won't be the same without you. Bye babe."
"See you Matt. I'll miss you too." He bent down and hugged her closely before placing his lips to hers for a split second then leaving. Amy didn't know what to make of that kiss but watched him leave. She couldn't deny that that kiss sparked fireworks…
