Chapter 16

"If it's Amy, please don't let her in here," Jeff said quietly, looking at his brother. Adam who had been closest to the door, nodded in agreement as he stood up and opened it.

"Hi, is Matt or Jeff Hardy in here?" asked Corinne.

"Yeah," Jeff said after hearing her voice, looking back at Matt who still had his eyes closed. Just as he was about to reach her, Adam put his hand forward and pushed Jeff back.

"Well, maybe they are and maybe they're not, but there's something you can be sure of," Adam said, with that signature grin,

"I'm here."

"Right, umm, can I talk to them?"

"Adam, let me..." Jeff started.

"What's your name baby girl?"

"Oh my god, Adam, stop it!" Taylor said, after hearing him talk, "Corinne, he's married and is a dirty old man."

"Eww, Taylor whatever, nice to meet you Corinne. Come on in." Adam said, finally allowing her through the door.

"Hey Tay, where's Jules?" Chris said, when he saw his wife.

"I left her with Debra."

"Is he sleeping?" Corinne asked pointing at Matt who still had his eyes closed in concentration.

"Nah, he's umm meditating. Here why don't we leave you two alone." Jeff said, waving everyone out with his hands.

"Oh, meditating...well that's okay, I just needed to talk to either one of you, umm I was wondering if I could borrow one of the cards to the hotel room so I could get in after the show and move my stuff."

"Oh, well Matt has them so why don't we just leave you two alone to talk..." Jeff said, directing everyone outside, even a confused Taylor who tried to speak out but was pulled out of the room by her husband.

"But I..." Corinne started as everyone left the room.

"Jeff what the hell is going on?" Taylor asked as she was pulled into the room where the coffee was placed.

"Yeah, what is going on here?" Adam, Jay and Chris asked.

"Well, I think that Matt has a little crush on Corinne."

"So? He doesn't even know that she's even in the room?" Chris asked.

"Yeah, but see that's the thing, he's mad because of Amy and Seth. He's still not over that whole thing. And you guys didn't see him last night, from what I could evaluations of last night..."

"Oh, cause you're so damn good and trained at analyzing people..." Taylor said.

"Hey, hey, hey...let me finish...I think that when he was with Corinne, he forgot about Amy. Now how about that?"

"Well, he did seem really interested last night," Chris said.

"Really?" Jay, Adam and Taylor said simultaneously.

"Matt was interested in another girl?" Jay said incredulously.

"I support this little venture Jeff, I think we're all sick of Matt moping around like a lost puppy every time Amy and him split up. He never seems to be able to bounce back from it." Adam said.

"True," Jay said.

"Umm, yeah, excuse me, but what no one is thinking about is what Corinne thinks in all this. She just wants to get her clothes out of the hotel room. I don't..."

"Whoa, are you telling me that she has no interest in my brother at all?" Jeff said disbelievingly.

"Well..." Taylor began.

"Tell him Taylor," Chris said, remembering the conversation he and Taylor had the night before.

"But, it might have just been hypothetical."

"Just tell them."

"Alright, when Julia and her were talking about the Hardy Boys, well you guys last night, she said that she liked the looks of Matt better."

"Hmm...I don't know whether I should be insulted or not, but this sounds like it was written in the stars to me." Jeff said.

"I just have one thing to say..." Jay began who had been silent throughout the conversation.

"What?"

"You wanted this girl to like him right?"

"Yeah, so?" Jeff said.

"Well you just abandoned her alone with Matt in one of the foulest moods I've ever seen him in. I can't wait to see how much she'll like him now."

"Oh, crap..." Jeff said.
