Chapter 20
"Ames, are you alright?" Jeff asked as they pulled out of the arena parking lot.
"I'm perfectly perfect."
"Umm...is this about Corinne?"
"I said I'm fine."
"But..."
"Why is this happening Jeff? He wasn't supposed to find anyone new!"
"What are you talking about? You found someone new."
"No, well yes, but I just don't understand. I thought he was jealous and now he's not and ugh...I HATE THIS FEELING!" She yelled as she came to a red light.
"Ames, it's alright. Look I know it must be hard for you to deal with this but you do have Seth," Jeff said, trying to be neutral about the situation. He loved Amy, she had been one of his best friends since Matt and her had first began seeing each other, but at the same time, Matt deserved to be happy as well.
"I know...I know, I mean, I didn't tell you this before but I dumped Seth."
"What? Why? I thought everything was going great...when?"
"Tonight, after Matt left the car upset...right after Seth had called. And I felt like horrible because I haven't been around you guys and I...I don't know and I just thought that maybe I was wrong in breaking up with him before and I..."
"Amy, could you pull over please."
"What?" Amy said after pulling into an empty parking lot.
"Look, I love you like a sister and you know I've always supported you and Matt whenever you guys decided to get back together and even when you guys broke up, then got back together again, I mean what is it this time? Number 10? And I know you really do care about him, but maybe it's time to let go and just not get back with him..."
"What are you trying to say?"
"All right, I'm going to talk to you off the record right now, not as Jeff Hardy your friend, but like Jeff Hardy, Matt's brother, before I met you alright? It's just that my brother and he'll kill me if he found out I told you this but you are the only person he has truly been with since he met you. All those times that you guys broke up, Matt had a date here and there and hey he's not a monk, but never a real relationship with a person. And I'm going to be honest with you, I really feel like he has some feelings for Corinne. And I'm asking you to just let him go this once because if it doesn't work out, you know that he'll go back to you."
Amy was silent and looked outside the window.
"Are you listening to me?" Jeff asked, when he realized she wasn't turned towards him.
"Jeff, you don't understand. Matt has been the only, stable thing for me. He's not supposed to fall for anyone else, we're..."
"Wait, but you are allowed to?" Jeff said angrily.
"Don't say that to me Jeff!" Amy responded.
"Amy, don't do this. You're the one who broke up with him and got together with his physical therapist. I mean, I know I never told you this, but I was really pissed off at you when you started putting the moves in Seth. Do you think that Matt is blind? Matt knew and the poor guy just accepted the fact that you were probably going to dump him just after a few days of meeting Seth."
"What...what are you talking about?"
"Aims, come on....you know you've gotten comfortable with the fact that Matt is always waiting for you to come back..." Jeff let the sentence run since he knew that he had never actually told Amy his opinions on her relationship with Matt.
"That is such a cruel thing to say..."
"Amy..."
"Fine...so yes, I was "comfortable" with Matt always being there for me but that doesn't mean that I didn't love him as much he loved me. I was just making sure that we were right for each other, that it was really meant to be."
"You've just said what I've been trying to say for the past ten minutes, if you really want to make sure that you and Matt are supposed to really be together, then don't you think that you should allow him to have this chance with Corinne?"
Amy didn't respond to Jeff's statement, but instead revved up the car and drove quickly to the hotel just in time to see Matt and Corinne pull into the a parking spot.
"Ames, are you alright?" Jeff asked as they pulled out of the arena parking lot.
