Chapter 3

Disclaimer- I unfortunately don't own anyone in this story. The Hardyz and everyone in this fic own themselves. Also, no money is being made from this story. *thinks to herself* I should get a job instead of sitting around and writing stories.

In the Hardyz locker room:

The Hardyz had to get ready for their 6-man tag team match, but for some reason Matt's mind was on something totally different. He kept thinking about the conversation he and Jeff had earlier that day.

'I'm in a very confused state, and can't figure out what to do. Jeff hadn't been much help either. You'd think he'd be able to give me some kind of advice since he writes all those sappy love poems.' Matt thought then sighed to himself, as he had a flash back of the conversation earlier that day.

*Flash back to conversation*

"I've gotta tell you somethin'. It's really important, and you can't tell a soul." Matt grimaced, remembering every detail.

"Fine I promise, now tell me" Looking back, he remembered the devilish look in Jeff's eyes as he said this which made Matt crack a small smile.

"I saw that! Come on, I'm serious. I'm in love." Matt confessed to his more than surprised brother. He remembered just how nervous he was; his brother had no idea what he was going to say next.

Jeff let out a gasp of surprise, letting the bag of Skittles he'd been munching on drop to the floor. "Dude, that's great! Who's the luck girl? Do I know her?" Jeff had asked bouncing up and down in excitement for his brother.

"You definitely know her. I um, love Amy." 'That wasn't all I needed to say' Matt remembered as he thought back to the conversation.

"Really? I kinda thought you liked her, but I always thought you would have asked Stephanie out. I mean, you always flirt with her, and I see the way you look at her and -" 'I had cut Jeff off in mid sentence, as I remember; I needed to get the rest out before Jeff started to ramble.' Matt mused, noting that Jeff definitely could talk your ear off.

"That's the thing. I ahhh, well, um . . ."

"What? Spit it out! When have you ever been at lose for words?" Jeff asked, demanding an answer. 'Jeff was right; I had never been at a loss for words, until now.' Matt thought as a sour look crossed his features.

"Well . . . I kinda um ah . . ." Matt had muttered.

"Don't tell me you love Stephanie too! You can't love two women Matt!" Jeff yelled with a shocked expression on his face. 'Honestly, how the hell did he figure it out? Well he's always had a sixth sense about those things I guess . . .' Matt shrugged and continued to play the conversation in his mind.

"Geez Jeff, could you yell it any louder?!"

"Well actually . . ." Jeff grinned "Don't you dare. And I can't help loving em both . . . it's just Amy's different from all the other women I have met, she's tough as nails and has her own extreme kind of style. On the other hand, Stephanie brings out a different side in me that no one else can, or knows about. She's funny, pretty, and as sweet as can be. They're both great girls, how could I not have fallen in love with them?"

"Easy, you just don't!" Jeff muttered. Matt bit his lip nervously.

"So . . . what should I do?" "You're asking me? Dude I haven't been able to keep a steady girlfriend for . . . well forever!"

"Please Jeff? I just need someone's opinion, some advice. Come on dude, I'm ALWAYS there for you." Matt pleaded. Jeff sighed and scratched his chin as he pondered something.

"Okay. Well, first you're gonna have to chose one of them. You can't have a serious relationship with both of them." Jeff had reasoned, as Matt (had) put his head in his hands. 'I know Jeff was right, but how could I choose? They were both so different and I like that. I don't know if either one like me in that way, but I need to find out.' Matt thought.

"I know, I gotta choose, but which one? I love them both, and I'm not sure if eitha one of them loves, or likes me for that matter. I need your advice" Matt had begged, desperately. Matt had obviously been stumped with this situation and needed some help fast, before he exploited. 'Usually it's the other way around . . . he's always comin' to me for advice.' Matt mused.

"All I can tell you Matt is follow your heart. That's the best advice I know."

"Gee thanks Jeff, you're real helpful, like I already didn't know that. My heart and my brain don't know squat, so I'm basically screwed."

"Well, just spend some time with each of them, get to know them better and see which one you have more in common with, and like better. Then you can choose."

'I know so much about Amy already, what else was there to know? We are best friends and she tells me so much, but I guess I could find out more.' He thought and shook his head, as if to get it out of his mind.

"I guess, but they can't know that I love them when I spend time with them. It might ruin every thing, so you can't tell anyone, okay?" Matt had asked, raising an eyebrow at Jeff.

"Yeah, yeah, I know you're big on secrecy. My lips are sealed." Matt laughed remembering Jeff pretend to lock up his lips and through away the key.

*End of Flash back*

As he laced up his boots his mind had started to drift to the previous happenings in the lounge room.

'I hope no one noticed how nervous I was during the whole conversation. Both Amy and Stephanie were there, sitting next to me not the less, which made me very anxious, because I didn't want to say or do anything that stupid. Stephanie had been acting different. Kinda distant, and sad. She's never like that, always a smile on that girl's beautiful face. She'll work it out, she always does.' He simply shrugged it off. 'Why is Jeff giving me a dirty look?' Matt thought to himself. Jeff continued to stare at him expectantly, tapping his foot impatiently.

"Hello? Have you been listening to me?" Jeff had been rambling on for the past ten minutes about how he wrote a poem about Skittles. (A/N- No offense to anyone about that, Jeff especially . . . I know Jeff's poems are very deep and meaningful, not about candy, but something just possessed me to write that.)

"What?" Matt asked, abruptly being pulled away from his thoughts.

"Ya know your beginning to say 'what' more than Stone Cold. I was talking about my new poem that I wrote about Skittles. Forget it; you haven't been listening, as usual. Jeff sighed, with a disappointed look in his eyes.

"Oh Jeff I'm-" He was cut off by a loud knock on the door.

"Come in Amy!" Jeff greeted through the door, smiling.

"How'd you know it was me?" Amy asked laughing slightly as she entered the locker room.

"First of all, it's always you, and our match is coming up in about 10 minutes." Jeff replied, and then laughed at the look on her face. Amy walked over and hit Jeff playfully in the arm, sticking her tongue out at him.

"We better go find Steve; we got a match to win." Matt announced, and flashed a devilish smile. They all walked out of the locker room in search for Austin.
