Summary: Amy is distraught upon receiving a call learning of her husband, Matt Hardy's death. When a new man senses her sorrow and steps in to save her, will it be to late? Or can she find real lasting love again?

Additional Information: This is the second story in the series Love United. It follows after the Trish and Shawn love story.

A/N: For those of you that are unsure of which Chris I am using here, to put an end to suspicion and make it easier to picture, it is Chris Irvine, otherwise known in the WWE world as Chris Jericho. I realized I have been calling him Chris and not giving you any kind of background to make you see which one it was, so there you have it. I wasn't planning on hiding it in the story and making you all guess. It was my own fatal error. Thank you for the support, just in the last two chapters I hope I can make this one as good as the rest.

She sat alone in the darkness, unable to sleep on the couch, but knowing that in the bed it was just a bigger empty space. At the rate she was going, two days after Matt's death, she would never sleep or work again. At least not while it still felt bad to breathe without him.

Remembering what he had told her the night before, about not wanting to leave her and always being near her heart, she decided to get some much needed answers. She knew if she was ever supposed to move on, then getting these answers would help her eventually do it.

"Matt, if you can hear me, can you please tell me what the hell happened that night?"

The silence was deadly, what with Chris down at Jeff's house, refusing to leave her alone when all of what had happened was still fresh. She knew she should care more that he was being so sweet, but her heart and mind just felt so hopelessly empty.

"Can you hear me Matt?"

Again she was met with the deadliest of silences and didn't know what to think about them. Had he lied? Was he really gone now and were the voices she had heard been all in her head? She knew she had wanted him back with her badly, but she didn't realize it was badly enough to make up his voice, or his hands around her.

"Yes Amy I am still here. I told you that I wasn't going to leave you, at least not until it's the right time to do so."

"You already did leave me Matt, so it must have been the right time to do that. What I don't seem to understand is why the hell you can leave me, but then come back and stick with me. I would much rather have a husband that was alive and in bed with me."

"I realize that but this is the hand that we all got dealt. It is all a part of a higher plan. It will all make sense to you in time if you open your heart and mind to it, I promise you that much."

"Can you tell me what the hell happened in that alley way that night? Who did this you Matt and are we ever going to be able to find them?"

The room got silent then, but not because Matt had left the room. The silence came from Amy actually thinking that she needed to find out who did this and then and only then could she move on. It was obvious that Matt was feeling the same because she could hear him sighing in the darkness.

"I was told to meet someone in the alley that night, something about information about Jeff that they didn't want to leak out to the media at that time. I assumed it was Jeff Jarrett; and he wanted me to do something to help my brother. Well it wasn't Jeff Jarrett, it was someone I never would have expected."

Amy listened intently, unsure of what to make of it all. It had been big time news in the wrestling world a year ago when Jeff had failed drug tests and then stopped taking them, which lead to his release from the WWE. He had gotten clean though and he was doing great over at NWA, at least that's what Jeff had told her the last time they spoke.

"Well who was it Matt? Can't you tell me that much?"

"No I can't do that Amy. If I tell you then I have to deal with you going after them, looking for the proof to bring them down. Then it would upset the whole heaven and earth thing going and you would end up joining me at the wrong time. You must understand that as much as I love you, I cannot let you life get taken before its time, even if it was to be with me for eternal life."

"Don't you get it Matt? If I don't have you then there is nothing left for me here anyway. I know you said I am supposed to take the next step and move on with someone new, but you are the only one my heart needs and wants."

"The love you seek is right under your nose if you just open your eyes to accept it. I have done everything I could to bring it to you and make you see it. There is nothing left for me now except to make sure you go through with it and make your life better."

"Hey man, do you have a minute for an old friend?" Chris said as Jeff opened the door to his home and was taken aback by who stood on the other side.

"Holy shit! You are the last person I expected to see on my door step tonight. How the hell are you? What are you doing out here this late at night anyway?"

As he made his way in he took in the surroundings of where Jeff now called home. He was home with his girlfriend Beth, who had been a rock for him through everything that he went through with the WWE. Chris was impressed with what Jeff had done with his home, his life and his family since leaving the WWE. He had to admit being here now, he wondered if Amy really even needed him, what with Matt's brother just two doors away.

"Well Trish called me last night and told me about Matt, and well I had to come out here and see Amy. It seemed like the only right thing to do. We have a lot of history as you know."

"So then you didn't make your way out here just for little old me huh?" Jeff said with an awkward smile. He obviously was trying to keep things as light as possible after all the pain that had just taken place.

"I'm afraid not Jeff."

"So what can I do for you? I mean don't get me wrong, I thank you that you came all this way and took care of Amy, and then now coming to see me to check in, but there has to be another reason."

Jeff always had a way of just knowing when there was something up and he wasn't afraid to call someone on it either. Apparently it was written all over his face.

"I need to know what the happened to Matt last night man. Is there anything that you know that you can tell me?"

Jeff thought about it a second before answering. "Matt called me cell about six hours before he was found, telling me that he was meeting someone that had damaging news on me. He didn't tell me anything other then that."

"Well what the hell did you get into that would call Matt off the road and out to some alley way in the middle of the damn night?"

"Fake stuff I would gather. When the cops called me and told me what had happened and asked to talk to me, to rule me out, well I knew then that whatever goose chase Matt had been on, it had been made up. It was a trap and Matt was the one that walked right into it."

Chris thought about what Jeff had said and he felt his blood go cold. Not only could Jeff be in danger now, with Matt taken out of the picture, but Amy could be the next in the line of people that were to be killed.

"Listen man, thanks for telling me what you know. If you don't mind I think I better get back to your sister in law. I have a bad feeling running through me now."

Jeff just nodded his head in acceptance. As Chris reached the door, Jeff stopped him before he could walk out into the night.

"If they thought that Matt was a threat, then you had better be careful what you do from now on Chris. They might just decide that you need to be taken out too."
