Chapter 8

"I love you sweetie. Come back when you can and tell Corinne I miss her and I'm sorry." Matt said to Amy after he hugged for the umpteenth time outside the cab.

"I love you too. I'll call you when I get in." She said and got in the cab.

Matt waved at the cab as Amy got in to go to the airport.

"Matt! Who was that? Was that Amy? Where is she going?" Jeff said as he hurriedly got out of his car when he saw the cab pull out of the driveway.

"Yeah that was Amy." Matt breathed out as he turned around to go back in the house.

"Where is she going?"

"I can't tell you. Now you wanna tell me what the hell Beth was doing there?" Matt asked angrily.

"She said Jerry dumped her and that she had nowhere else to go. I tried to throw her out but then I felt bad because I felt so shitty with Corinne leaving me. I sent her upstairs and fucking got so piss ass drunk I had no idea what was happening."

"That is such bullshit Jeff!" Matt yelled.

"Look you weren't there...I honestly thought she was Corinne. What am I going to do Matt? I can't lose Corinne...and now any chance I have of her and I getting back together..." Jeff said despondently.

"Is gone!" Matt yelled. "I swear if you weren't my brother I would kick your ass. Amy is pissed so don't even bother trying to ask her to get you two back together."

"I know...should I call her?" Jeff asked.

"Don't bother...neither her or Corinne is going to speak to you anyways. How the hell would you have felt if you had called her and another guy answered...especially one who you knew was involved with her before...hell a guy she practically married and it had only been a day since she had left."

"I don't know...I don't think I could deal with that...I would hate...her..." Jeff said his eyes filling with pain when he thought of what Corinne must have been feeling.

"Yeah, that's right. Look I can't deal with you right now. I'll pick you up tomorrow before I go to the show." Matt said before turning away and going back in the house.

"Amy!" Shane McMahon called out as Amy walked out of the airport.

"Shane! How is she?" Amy asked concernedly as she spotted him.

"Better...well she's still has an extremely high fever, but she's stopped hallucinating. I think she was just really worn out." Shane said as he directed Amy into the cab.

"St. Vincent's Hospital please." Shane said then turned to Amy.

"Will you tell me what the hell is going on? What happened between her and Jeff? The doctor's suspect that she was already sick to begin with then walked around the city on one of the coldest days of the year. At least that was the day that she flew in from the U.S. I'm assuming that's what she did." Shane rambled.

"Well..."Amy began hesitantly. "Her and Jeff had broken up before she moved here. I guess she had second thoughts and called Jeff only to find Beth at his house."

"Beth? Whoa...Beth...Jeff's ex-fiance? I thought that was done and over with three years ago?"

"I know. I know he slept with her though..." Amy said softly.

"Are you serious?" Shane asked incredulously.

"Yeah...Matt and I walked in on them...well getting out of the bed."

"Well how sure are you?"

"I'm just going to say that he was butt naked and her sheet didn't really cover much. He didn't deny it either."

"Damn...poor Corinne. No wonder she's so upset." Shane said thoughtfully. They traveled in silence to the hospital.
