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.
