Summary : After seeing how happy Jeff and Trish our now that they took their relationship from friends to lovers Matt wonders if the same might be possible for him and Amy.



A couple of months later plans for the wedding were progressing smoothly. Jeff and Trish had decided to get married on December 20 because that way they were off for two weeks and could take a real honeymoon without having to worry about missing any time away from the business. That way all there friends from the WWE could still attend their wedding if they wanted and still be home in time to spend Christmas with their families. Also, during those two months Amy had started dating an old friend named Caleb, whom she had run into while helping Trish shop for things for the wedding. Amy enjoyed her easy going relationship with Caleb, he didn't put to much pressure on her. And, so what if Caleb's kisses didn't exactly leave her knees shaking. She was determined to get over her feelings for Matt, who still treated her like a kid sister, and the only way she could think do that was to give her relationship with him a Caleb a real chance.

Matt on the other hand and not started dating anyone at all. In fact the longer he spent around Jeff and Trish the more he started to wonder if maybe he had been to quick to dismiss the idea of him and Amy has a couple. If Jeff and Trish could make it work and not ruin their friendship but actually make it better then why not him and Amy. A few weeks later after a house show Matt got up the courage to finally ask Amy out. He knew that she had been seeing some guy named Caleb for a few weeks, but it didn't seem to Matt to be that serious because Amy hardly ever talked about him.


"Hey, Ames, I was wondering if you wanted to go get dinner and then go see that new comedy movie that just came out?"

"Sorry, Matt. I already have plans with Caleb tonight. He flew up from Raleigh, to spend the weekend with me before he has to go back to work on Monday. Maybe, some other time. Okay."

"I didn't know that Caleb flew up to visit you." "Yeah, it was a complete but pleasant surprise. I had know idea he was planning to do it either.. But, I'm glad he did because I was kind of starting to miss him." "It seems like you two are starting to become more serious with each other."

"Yeah, we are starting to get a little more serious with each other. But we've decided to take things slow and see were they lead."

"That's good. You never want to rush into things to quickly. I also hope that he's not the jealous type because once the wedding gets closer we are going to be spending all our time together and he might not get to see all that much of you."

"Oh don't worry about Caleb. He's not the jealous type and even if he were he knows that your like a brother to me and he doesn't have to worry about anything happening between us."

"Great, just like a brother. Not what I wanted to hear," Matt muttered to himself quietly.

"Did ya something Mattie?" Amy asked.

"No." "Ok, then I'm gonna head back to the hotel to get ready for my date with Caleb did you wanna ride back with me?" "No thanks, since I seem to be free this evening since Jeff and Trish are out to dinner I'm gonna see if maybe Stacey or Torrie want to go to the movies instead."

"Bye," Amy said rather abruptly as she picked up her bag and walked to her car. I can't believe he is gonna ask one of those to air heads to go to the movies with him. God I can't stand those two. She thought to herself as she drove to the hotel and got ready for her date. Caleb picked her up at 8:00 exactly and took her to a lovely french restaurant. Even though she didn't particularly like french food Amy was determined to have a good time and get the thought of Matt with either Stacey or Torrie out of her head, but that was easier said then done. Every time she even thought about it she got really angry and lost her appetite. Caleb started to notice that she was just picking at her food instead of really eating it.

"Amy, is something the matter? You've barely touched your food all night and a couple of times you've gotten a really strange look on your face. Almost as if you were in pain of some sort."

"No nothings the matter. I'm sorry I just don't really care all that much for french food."

"Well, you should have said something sooner. We could have gone to another place."

" I just didn't want to ruin the evening you went to so much trouble to arrange."

"It's not a problem. Come on let's get out of here and go dancing at the club across the street."

Amy agreed to go even though she didn't really want to. As Caleb led Amy on to the floor to dance a slow song started and he pulled her into his arms and held her close. But all she could think about was how she wished it were Matt arms holding her close instead of Calebs'. "Excuse me," Amy said has she suddenly pulled out of his arms and ran for the bathroom. "What the....Amy are you ok?" Caleb asked to a retreating Amy's back but she pretended she didn't hear.

"God, why can't I just get over him," she said to herself as she pushed open the door to the ladies room surprised to find it empty for once. "I'm so stupid. I'm going out with a really great guy who genuinely likes me for me and came all this way just to spend time with me and all I think about is Matt. Matt, who only looks at me like a kid sister and doesn't even know how much I love him. I wish it were Caleb that I loved with all my heart, but it's not and it's not fair for me to keep seeing him when I know it will never develop into something more," she said talking to herself. After calming herself down and reapplying her make-up Amy left the ladies room and went in search of Caleb. She didn't have far to look because he was waiting in the hallway with a worried look on his face.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine now. Can we go some place quiet to talk?"

"Sure, let me get our coats and we can go talk outside on the patio if you don't mind that it's a little cold."

"No that's fine." When Caleb came back with their coats they headed outside and he tried to hold her hand but she quickly put her hands inside her pockets.

"Okay, now that we're alone would you please tell me what has had you so distracted and upset tonight."

"I will. I think you're a great guy and I really like you but I can't see you anymore because I'm in love with someone else and I don't want to lead you on"

"It's Matt Hardy isn't?"

"Yes, it is. How did you know?"

"I've kind of suspected since we started dating. You just seemed so much more happier and alive when you were around him or talked about him but I didn't say anything because I was hoping that you would get over him and move on to me."

"I'm sorry Caleb. I never meant to hurt you that wasn't my intention. I honestly thought that when we started this relationship that I was ready to move on and get over my feelings for Matt, but I guess I'm not and I don't know if I ever will be."

"It's okay. I can't say I'm not disappointed but we can't help we love and who we don't. Can I ask you a personal question about Matt."

"Go ahead, it's the least I owe you for being such a nice guy and so understanding."

"If you love him so much why aren't you guys together."

"Well that's easy, because he only loves me like a sister instead of like a girlfriend. And, also because I'm not his type. He prefers the beautiful sexy, girly-girly, blond type instead of the cute, punk, tomboy type like myself. In fact I think he's out with one of those kind of girls right now."

"Gawd, Amy can you be any more blind or dumb. Your absolutely gorgeous and unique and any guy would be proud to have you on his arm to show off. Why would any sane guy want a blond cookie cutter copy when he can have a ravishing radiant rebellious redhead. Have you ever told Matt how you feel about him?"

"No, I'm too scared of being rejected and I don't want to take the risk of ruining our friendship. I don't know what I would do if he wasn't apart of my life somehow."

"Amy what are you scared of. Haven't you ever heard the saying that best friends make the best lovers. If your feelings for Matt are really that strong then I think you owe it to both yourself and him to find out if you guys could have more. And who's to say he doesn't feel exactly the same way you do but is just as scared as you about being rejected and ruining your friendship."

"You know what Caleb your absolutely right. I'm tired of being a coward and living in the dark about my feelings for Matt. When I get back to the hotel I'm going to go find Matt and have a serious hart-to-hart with him and if he just so happens to be out with one of the air heads then I'm going to wait up for him."

"That a girl. Way to be assertive and go after what you want. Now lets going so you can go get your man."

"Thank you so much for being so understanding and such a great listener and friend. You're going to make some women very lucky someday. And if you ever need help with anything just ask."

"Now that you mention it, do you think you might be able to get me that cute little Nora Greenwald's number?"
