At the hospital, the doctor told me I had a fractured jaw, a fractured
hand, and some very bad bruising. I was waiting for the nurse to bring me
some painkillers so that I could leave, when Amy came in.
"How are you doing, Jeff?"
"I've been better. I'm surprised to see you in here. How's Matt?"
"He's still angry. You broke his nose. Why are you surprised to see me? I'm still your friend, even if you did try and kill my boyfriend."
"I didn't try and kill him. Oh God Amy, everything is so messed up."
"He told me what you said, and you're wrong. True, Matt never liked Louisa, but you were happy with her, so he put up with her. He didn't try and break you up, he never even told you to leave her, not until she was pregnant. Come on Jeff, you know he loves you."
"He's got a funny way of showing it."
"I know. He told me what he said, and he knows he was wrong. He was just angry, he doesn't really think you only want her now coz she's famous. He didn't mean to hurt you by saying that. Part of him is hurt too."
"Why is he hurt?"
"Because you've been suffering about Louisa for years, and you kept quiet about it. He feels like he's got to protect you, but when you were hurt the most, you didn't go to him."
"But he hated her Amy, he."
"You know he would have listened to, whether he liked her or not. If he knew you were that upset about it, he would have helped you try and find her. But you kept it to yourself."
The nurse came in with my painkillers then, and Amy went back to see Matt. I headed back to the hotel, where I ran into Vince and Shane McMahon. Unsurprisingly, I was suspended, because I had hit Matt first. I got a lecture on professionalism, and was told that fighting with any of my co- workers is forbidden, even if it is my brother. I went up to my room, packed my stuff, and headed to the airport, to catch a flight home.
I'm still so confused. I don't know how to deal with the way I'm feeling about Louisa, and now I have to worry about making it up to Matt. Amy had been right, I know Matt would have listened to me. Not anymore though, Louisa is too much of a sore subject between the two of us. There's only one person I can turn to for advice now, and I'm dreading it. He doesn't know why I broke up with Louisa, and he's gonna be angry when he finds out.
