Chapter Seven
Movies
"I'll get the tickets, you guys go get the snacks." Jeff said. "Hey Shay, come here a sec." Jeff added and Shannon stayed behind while Amy, Matt and Greg went on ahead to wait in line for popcorn. "What's up?" Shannon asked. "I think there's something up with Amy. You saw her at breakfast, her mind keeps wondering off." Jeff explained. "Yeah, I see what you mean. What do you want me to do?" Shannon asked. "Just tell Matt and Amy to go get the seats and we'll hang back, give them some time to talk. Cool?" Jeff asked. "Cool." Shannon replied. "Thanks man, you guys just wait for me and I'll help you carry everything." Jeff added. "You got it." Shannon replied before rejoining Matt, Amy and Greg.
"Man, it's getting kind of crowded, huh guys?" Shannon remarked after a minute of thinking what to say without it being obvious. "Yeah, it's a popular movie." Matt replied looking around. "Hey, you know what, why don't you and Ames grab the seats, it might be hard getting five seats all together." Shannon added, throwing a quick wink to Greg. "Uh . . . Yeah that's not a bad idea. Here comes Jeff, we can get everything." Greg added. "You guys sure?" Matt asked with a raised eyebrow as Jeff reached the group and handed each a ticket. "Positive, hurry up man." Shannon said giving him a little shove. "Alright, come on" Matt said taking Amy's hand.
Matt and Amy walked all the way to the top row, which is where everyone liked to sit. The seats hand adjustable arm rests, so Matt lifted the one between Amy and he up and wrapped his arm around her. She sighed in content as she leaned her head on his shoulder. "Have you thought about it?" Matt asked quietly, not waning to push her, but to curious not to ask. "Yeah, I've been thinking about it all day. And . . . I wouldn't have any problem if I was positive I could pay you back the money, but I'm not." Amy said in a rush.
"Amy," Matt said, gently pulling her chin towards him so he could look her in the eye. "I don't care if you never pay me back, I have enough money now where it wouldn't hurt me financially. I know it's important to you to be able to pay me back because that's just the way you feel. So weather it takes you a month or ten years, you can pay me back if you want, but please come with me, don't just not come because of the money." He said as he softly stroked her cheek.
Amy looked away for a second as she colleted her thoughts; but when she turned back to him, she was smiling. "Okay." She said simply. "Okay?" Matt asked excitedly, matching her grin as she nodded. "Yes!" he yelled, pulling her into a hug and causing more than a few stares from the other people in the theater. "Matt," Amy whispered, giggling at his sudden outburst. "It's going to be great Ames, you'll see." He said, still excitedly. "I know it is." Amy replied smiling against his shoulder. Matt pulled back to look her in the eyes, then leaned down in for a kiss.
"Can't leave them alone for five minutes without them going at it like rabbits." Jeff's amused voice broke the couple apart. Matt and Amy stuck their tongues out at Jeff simultaneously, and then grinned at each other. "Amy said yes." Matt informed Jeff ecstatically. "Yeah? That's great." Jeff replied happily as he passed out the various snacks, which wasn't much since they had just eaten. "Said yes to what?" Greg asked, coming up behind Shannon. "She's going to travel and train with us." Jeff replied, sitting next to his brother with Greg on his left and Shannon at the end. "Cool."
The movie started shortly after that, silencing the conversation. It couldn't stop Matt's grin after hearing Amy say yes, though and he pulled her closer as she grinned up at him. The theatre erupted in laughter so the two turned their gaze back to the screen and their attention back on the movie; their arms still wrapped around each other.
"That was funny as hell." Greg laughed as the group exited the theater. "Totally." Jeff agreed nodding. "You guys ready to workout?" Matt asked, his arm around Amy as they followed Jeff, Greg and Shannon to the garage. "More than ready." Greg replied and promptly did a flip to prove it. "Hah, kid stuff." Shannon remarked and, wanting to show Greg up, did a no handed flip. "And that wasn't?" Jeff asked Shannon and, not waiting for an answer, did two back flips. This earned applause from the entire group, except Amy, which Jeff noticed.
"What? Not impressed?" Jeff asked, trying not to grin. "Don't get me wrong," Amy started, also trying to keep a straight face. "It was . . . Okay." She replied, and Jeff stood in front of her, crossing his arms with a mock glare on his face. "Yeah? Think you can do better?" Jeff asked as Matt, Greg and Shay looked on, silently grinning as the two bickered. Amy looked away for a second, no longer able to control the grin on her face. "Maybe." She finally replied, looking him in the eye again. "Yeah? Prove it." Jeff challenged, also grinning. She shrugged, and then took a few steps back to give herself room. She paused a minute, then took off, out doing the three wrestlers by doing three no handed back flips in a row.
The group was silent for a second, and then they all clapped loudly while Amy half bowed, laughing. She looked to Jeff with a raised eyebrow, who just laughed with her as he patted her on the back. "Okay, okay, I have to admit that was cool." He said leading the way to the garage, Matt Greg and Shannon following, as Amy smiled proudly. "Where'd you learn that anyway?" he asked. "Oh you know, just picked it up along the way." She shrugged still grinning.
"Hey Amy!" a deep, angry voice called from behind the group. Amy whipped her head around, a shocked look on her face. The voice belonged to a man, looking to be around the same age as Amy. He had short hair, dyed bright red, a nose ring and wore tight black jeans with a dirty white shirt. "I'll catch up in a sec guys." She said making her way over to him. Matt shared a look with Jeff, who just shrugged before looking back to Amy and the Guy.
"What do you want, Eric?" Amy asked hostilely. "Where've you been lately?" He ignored her question, glancing over at Matt and Jeff. "I don't see how that's any of your business." She replied coldly, crossing her arms. "Come on Amy, your not still mad are you?" he asked rolling his eyes. "Why would I be mad? Just because you cheated on me after we'd only been going out for a week?" she asked glaring at him. "It's been three months," Was Eric's response. "Exactly. Leave me alone; I'm not interested in going out with you and I never will be." Amy shot back and turned to leave but he grabbed onto her arm. Amy was surprised, but recovered quickly, trying to free her arm.
"Let. Me. Go." Amy ordered through gritted teeth as she tried once again to detach herself from Eric, who acted like he didn't even hear her. "Are you deaf? She said let go." Matt's voice came up from behind Amy. "And who the hell are you?" Eric asked furiously, pulling Amy a little closer to him. "Did I stutter?" Matt asked, looking pointedly at where Eric still had hold of Amy.
"You guys coming or what?" Jeff asked walking up with Greg and Shannon. The guy's saw what was going on and came to stand next to Matt, ready to help. Eric, obviously not expecting four professional wrestlers to come to Amy's aid, quickly loosened his grip on her with a sly grin on his face. "That's okay Amy, have some fun with your . . ." he paused to sneer at Matt, Jeff, Greg and Shannon. ". . . Friends. But we'll just see who has the last word." He finished, reaching out a hand to stroke her cheek. Newly freed, she flinched backwards, right into Matt's awaiting arms. This just made Eric grin more before he took off in the opposite direction.
"Are you okay?" Matt asked worriedly, rubbing Amy's arm, where Eric had grabbed it. "Yeah, I'm fine." she replied looking up at him. "Who was that guy?" Jeff asked. "Eric, an old friend of my brother's. He's such an asshole, he just never leaves me alone." Amy replied angrily. "Want us to talk to him?" Jeff asked, punching his left hand with his right in a mock threat. She laughed, shaking her head. "Don't bother. I won't see him anymore anyway." She replied. "You sure Ames?" Matt asked. "Don't worry Mattie." Amy said and he nodded, taking her hand in his. "Let's get going then." He replied, leading the group over to the cars.
