Another hour had passed and there was still no news on my condition. Matt,
Jeff, Amy, Teri and Glenn were all sitting together while Mark and Sara
were sitting in another corner of the waiting room talking in whispers
until Mark got up.
"Jeff, can I have a word with you?" Mark asked. He gritted his teeth as he waited for Jeff's answer.
Jeff nodded and stood up. He and Mark walked out of the room, through the double wooden doors, leaving everyone but Sara wondering what the hell was going on.
"Well …" Mark started; it was obvious that he was having a hard time saying what he wanted to.
"Is this about Sam?" Jeff asked.
Mark nodded.
"Look, Mark, I'm sorry for what I said before, about you not being the World's greatest brother and being controlling. I wish I hadn't of said that. I totally regret it. If I'd of controlled my emotions non of this would of happened," Jeff apologised.
"Jeff, don't blame yourself," Mark said. "You can't control your emotions, they are just there, it's how you feel. You can't and you shouldn't fight them. You and Glenn were right about me not being the World's greatest brother and trying to be controlling, Sara made me see that just. It's not your fault what has happened, it's my fault too," he said not doing a very good job at trying to get him point across. "I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm sorry, if I hadn't of been so against you and Sam then non of this would of happened and we wouldn't be in this mess," Mark sighed. "She's a big girl now and you're a good guy, I see that now."
"What?" Jeff asked, unable to believe what he was hearing.
"You will be really good for Sam," Mark told Jeff. "Like I said, I see that now. I just hope Sam forgives me."
"Then why were you so against us?" Jeff asked. He couldn't help not asking that question. After all, the sudden change of heart on Mark's side had come as a shock to him.
"I was scared you were going to hurt her," Mark replied honestly. "I don't know you that much and I like to know her boyfriends, to make sure their not going to mess her about and treat her like shit. I know you wouldn't do that now. And you're young … well compared to me. I know how some guys your age are and Sam's a pretty girl. I didn't want to see her upset."
"Mark, I wouldn't mess her around, I love her with all my heart," Jeff told him sincerely.
Mark smiled, "yeah, I know that now … come on, lets go back in," he said as he walked to the door back into the waiting room with Jeff a few steps behind. "Thanks man," Mark said to the younger Hardy as he walked back over to join Sara and Jeff made his way back over to Matt, Jeff, Amy, Teri and Glen.
"What happened?" Amy asked before Jeff even got the chance to sit down. Everyone was looking surprised, as though shocked Jeff had returned in one piece.
"You don't need to look so shocked guys," Jeff told them. He ran a hand through his blue hair. "He apologized for being against Sam and me and for trying to control her," Jeff told them honestly. Just as you thought they couldn't look any more surprised they did.
"I better go talk to him," Glenn told them. He stood up and walked over to where Mark was sitting with Sara both deep in conversation.
"So what happened? Are you ok little bro?" Matt asked concerned as Jeff hadn't said much and looked completely dazed, consumed in thought.
"Oh, yeah, I'm fine. This is a good thing ain't it? Better late then never. Just wish he'd of been like this earlier then we might not have ended up like this, waiting in a hospital not knowing if the girl I love is gonna be dead or alive by the time today is out," he tried to control himself but a tear leaked out and ran down his young face.
"Wow, calm down," Amy said, she took his hand in hers. "Jeff, Sam is going to pull this and you two are going to be fine!" she knew that Jeff was worried about where he'd stand with me if I recovered as it had been so rocky between us before I was taken ill.
"I hope you're right Aimes," he whipped away the tear that had leaked out of his eye.
"Hun, I am! No questions about it," The only female member of Team eXtreme told him.
"Yeah man, listen to her … she's normal always right about this kind of stuff. I think it's called a 'chick thing'," he smiled warmly at his brother. "She is going to be ok and you two are going to be fine. Think about it, you won't need to sneak around in secret hoping he brother won't find out because now he knows and he's accepted it."
"Listen to your older brother, us chicks know these things," Teri told him supportively. She reached over and squeezed his hand which Amy was still holding.
Just then a pretty blonde nurse walked into the room full of wrestlers.
"What is it? What's wrong?" Jeff asked as soon as he saw the nurse instantly fearing the worst. "Is it about Samantha Calloway?"
"Yes," the nurse confirmed.
"Well, what is it?" Mark asked diving to his feet.
"Jeff, can I have a word with you?" Mark asked. He gritted his teeth as he waited for Jeff's answer.
Jeff nodded and stood up. He and Mark walked out of the room, through the double wooden doors, leaving everyone but Sara wondering what the hell was going on.
