Chapter 21
Matt & Jeff ran towards us but Mick kept a tight grip on my arm & didnt stop running! I struggled to get free but he was just too strong for me! We shoved our way though crowds of people comming the other way & the harder I tried to slow him down the stronger his grip on my arm became! The whole lower part of my arm was tingling where he'd cut off the circulation!
"Mick please stop!! " I cried, "I cant go on anymore!!" But he didnt listen! I turned to see Matt & Jeff not far behind & much to my relief, behind them were three uniformed officers!! I made one last ditch attempt to put the breaks on & I pulled with every ounce of strength that I had left in my body! Mick hardly slowed at all! The only thing I could think of was just to give up! I let my legs go from under me & fell like a dead weight onto the floor banging my head on the concrete so hard that I saw stars! Mick bent to lift me up & then he disappeared from my view! I managed to struggle up onto my elbows and saw Matt was on top of him throwing punches, with Jeff trying to drag him off! Then all I could see was blue uniforms swarming all over them! It looked like 20 officers when really it was only 4 or 5!!
Matt appeared out of the mass of dark blue bodies & he was the last thing I saw before everything went black!
When I came to I was in the back of an ambulance with Matt by my side looking a bit battered & bruised! I didnt know if it had all been real or just some freaky nightmare I was waking up from!
"Hey you!" Matt stroked my cheek.
"Wh.....what happened?" I tried to sit up but I didnt have the strength. "Steve? Mick?"
"They've been arrested!"
"So they were both..." Matt nodded, "Jesus!"
"Its over now!" He smiled. "You're ok now!"
"But how did...."
"Ssshhhh! All I know is Mick called Edbrook one day when you were out & got Steve instead! They hatched their sick plan together, Steve has debts like you wouldnt believe!" I guess he needed the money!"
"I cant believe this is happening!"
"Yeah well they're both in custody now!"
"The video phone!!"
"What?"
"That's how he knew what Mick looked like! They used the video phone!"
"Probably....look it doesnt matter now! It's over! You need some rest.we're getting you to the hospital right now!"
*******
I was in hospital for 3 days & all I did was sleep! The physical side of me was fine, just a few cuts & bruises, it was my mental state the doctors were more concerned about! Matt, Jeff & Mary came to visit me every day, although Mary still got up & left as soon as Matt entered the room!! Matt brought me flowers every day & he always put a huge smile on my face!
Eventually they discharged me & Matt took me home!
"Ok you, get into bed & I'll put your things away!"
"I'm not getting into bed! Ive been in bed for 3 damn days! I want some fresh air, lets go for a walk!"
"Ok ok, but not far, you need to rest!"
"Yes doctor!" I smiled!
We went outside & it felt so good to walk in the cold december sunshine! We sat on a bench in the grounds of Edbrook & I leaned my head against his chest!
"Man its good to be outside!" I smiled & closed my eyes.
"Bec........about what you told me.."
Id forgotten all about telling him I loved him & I suddenly felt very embarrassed!
"Listen Matt Im sorry! I..."
"No wait a minute! I just..I want to know, did you mean it?"
I gulped, "Yes I meant it!"
He nodded, "Wow!" he smiled, "No ones ever said that to me & meant it before!!"
"I also meant it when I said I know you cant feel the same way about me!"
"I.....I feel." he sighed, "I feel something y'know?" He looked into my eyes, "I dont know if its love but its something Ive never felt before!" He kissed me.
"Wow!" I said sarcastically!
"What?"
"What a romeo!!" I laughed.
"Im serious Bec! Im trying to tell you that maybe......someday, oh I dunno!" he smiled.
"Maybe that will do just fine for me Matt Hardy!"
"Will it? Will it really?"
I nodded, "A maybe is better than a no way in my book anyday!"
He kissed me again, "You're some girl y'know that?" He smiled.
"Maybe!!" I laughed.
*******
I guess thats all I have to tell, for now anyway! Its not all love hearts & flowers with me & Matt, but I'll take what I can get! Anything with Matt beats everything I had with Mick!
As for Steve & Mick they were arrested & charged with eveything the judge could throw at them! Mick was sent back to England to serve his sentance & as far as Im aware that where he is right now! Steve attempted to appologise to me in court but I just blanked him! After what the two of them did to me I couldnt give a damn if they were dead!!
My parents, brother & sister came over not long after all of this mess was cleaned up! Jake had the time of his life with Matt & Jeff and it definately put me back on the 'cool sister' list!!
So, now Im back to full health & doing the job I came here to do! I still have nightmares but I deal with them & move on! While Matt's away I write & when he's here we spend every spare moment together! Its never gotten boring and Matt is far from predictable!! I still get goosebumps every time he touches me & we stil have the greatest sex ever!! Im happy! Well I am now, but there was that time when.............ah well thats a different story, maybe I'll tell it to you sometime!...........Maybe!!??
