CHAPTER 19

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The week went on and still no call from Matt. Amy paced back and forth for hours hoping that the phone would ring and she'd hear Matt's pleading voice on the other line. When nothing happened, she crawled up on the bed and cried herself to sleep. Joey had stopped by to check on her but Adam still was cautious about letting him near Amy. Joey had been sweet as can be to her but Amy really didn't want anybody but Matt with her. She was feeling homesick and Matt-sick that her stomach wouldn't hold anything down so she didn't eat.

Saturday, her last day, came and she packed up her stuff. She and Adam had decided on going to the airport together for their flight to Boston for the taping of RAW on Monday. Amy sluggishly dragged herself around to actually making it to the airport. She backed out numerous times saying it was too soon to go back to work and see Matt as well as the rest of the group.

Embarrassment had started to settle in and she didn't want to see all the people she screamed and fought with.

Amy still hadn't really come around to the fact that Matt and she had broken up; it was a slow process. She couldn't admit it to herself, or the fact that she didn't want to.

*Why didn't you call? She asked herself. At least one call, that's it*. She whimpered. *What could you be doing that took you away from calling me?*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Matt slowly walked into the airport rubbing his temples. He had been tempted to call Amy all week but every time he picked up the phone, Chris would be there to hang it back up.

*"You need to stop acting desperate. Show her you don't care and she'll realize how badly she really needs you. It may sound stupid, but girls don't like when guys don't listen to them. If she wants you to leave her alone, then leave her alone."* Chris's voice rang through Matt's head.

Matt shook his head as he adjusted his bag on his shoulder. He considered Chris's 'wise' words of wisdom, but somehow Matt knew it wasn't right.

*Amy's different though...she sends mixed signals when she's scared or angry...maybe just one call, ONE call...it can't hurt, could it? *

He debated what to do when Chris' voice came into hearing distance.

"Don't think about her." Chris said honestly. "Give it some time; call her in a few months-"

"MONTHS?!" Matt shrieked.

"Shhh!!!" Chris hissed. "Well okay, maybe not months per say, but give it some time. She needs to heal and she can't do that if you're constantly...what's the word...being there when she doesn't want you to. You'll only hurt her more than you already have Matt. Play it safe, leave her alone because she asked you to, no, she TOLD you to. Alright?" Chris said speaking solemnly.

Matt swallowed down his words and nodded his head. He was going to listen to Chris partly, and the rest he'd do whatever felt right. He wasn't sure up until this point, but he'd sure find out soon as he saw Amy sitting by herself in a chair looking out at the planes.

*I've gone a week without you...I don't think I can go another day without telling you I love you, I miss you and I'm terribly sorry.*

His lips hungered to taste her, his body aching to feel her love and warmth. His breathing became staggered as he looked at her, as if he was a stranger. He didn't know her anymore; so much could happen in a week's time and he didn't know where she stood in things. She looked so tired and lonely. Her eyes were dark and cold, her face paler and sadness claimed her gorgeous face.

*What can I do to make things right again?* He asked himself desperately. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Looking out the window, the skies were grey and gloomy, much like how she felt. Her lips hungered to taste him, her body aching to feel his love and warmth. She squeezed her eyes shut as her lower lip trembled as another trip on her emotional rollercoaster took a dip. Small tears streamed down her face as she breathed shakily.

*Why won't you make things right again? What'll it take for you to do something? Take action? Fix things?*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Matt looked at her grieving face. She was crying, her lower lip trembling like it did when she was really upset. "Amy..." He whispered when Chris put a hand on his shoulder. Chris shook his head, and Matt swallowed hardly. He nodded his head as he watched the girl he loved most sit heartbroken in front of him, desperately trying to be strong. Seeing her, he didn't think he could do the same.
