A/N: I thank you all for the support on this story thus far and I am going to take you on the ride of your life in coming chapters, so keep your eyes peeled for that. I want to have a lot of build up to the two of them finally getting together, if in fact they ever do, so that is why it seems so slow moving. I want to bring the two of them to grips with what happened four years ago between them before making them move on. Also for those of you that like this story and can't get enough of it, I will not be writing on New Years Eve, or new years day due to needing some much needed rest (and a bottle of champagne wouldn't be so bad either, LOL). I hope that doesn't throw any of you off, but please note that by Sunday or Monday I will be back in full force.
Amy sat in front of her vanity, staring at the healthy complexion that was starting to come back to her. It was amazing what a few weeks of twenty four hour company could do for someone when they are mourning. Chris had done that and more, especially with the rings he had given her and worn himself. She was feeling better about the rest of her life now then she ever had before, even when Matt was alive.
Maybe it had something to do with the fact that she had lost the one man she had given her world too, and she had nothing left to lose. Amy didn't like to think of it that way, because she knew in her heart she cared about Chris just as much now as she did back then. She just knew that whatever was happening in her life now, she wasn't so weak and scared that she couldn't face it.
"Talk to me Matt, I know you are here."
"You're right, I am here, but I have no idea what you need to talk to me about."
"Tell me what the hell is going on here? I mean one minute we are married, my past with Chris being a complete non issue, and the next you are dead and buried, and my past with Chris feels like it never ended. You must have some kind of an answer for me on that by now."
"You never gave Chris up Amy. Believe me, I hate that you didn't, but he has always been a part of your heart. He was a part of it that I should have left alone."
"Did loving Chris get you killed?"
"I threw everything off Amy. I wasn't supposed to die, but now that I have passed on, I wouldn't change it for the world because I got to experience a woman like you. A woman that is like no other."
"I'm the same as every other girl Matt. I didn't realize that getting involved with me would get you killed. I take it that you didn't know either?"
"I knew, and I took a chance on something with you. Don't you see Amy, what happened couldn't be helped because I had been in love with you at the point that I made the choice. If I hadn't loved you then, I wouldn't be with you and I wouldn't have been there with you when I was."
"Matt, I'm sorry that you had to go through all of that and then end up where you are."
"Give me a break Amy, there is way more hotties in heaven then I even dreamed off. You know how many hot women die each day? It is such a shame."
Amy laughed then, letting the feeling run all through her body, being one of the few times since Matt had died that she had laughed. The only other person that could really make her laugh the same way was Chris. The one thing that Chris could do now that Matt couldn't though was give her what she needed, never ending love.
"I can to give you that Amy. I just can't be there with you to show you other then talk to you like this."
"I wish I could see you Matt, even if it was just for a second. No matter what life has planned for me, I still miss you."
"If there was a way Amy, it would have already happened and Chris wouldn't be here right now. I miss you, and I also feel emotions I cant explain at the thought that we will never have a child together. It was the one thing in this life that I did want."
Amy witnessed a groundbreaking moment then. Matt didn't want her with Chris, no matter how hard he was pushing the two of them to be together. He had made the wrong choice so long ago and now he had to live with it. Just knowing that he had chosen her over possibly dying made her heart ache for what could have been. He had given up his love not only for his brother, but for her as well and she was never going to be able to deal with it.
"What is it like there Matt? Are you really at peace there?"
"My soul is at peace, it feels the best it has ever felt. All of the weights have been lifted and my head is clear. I have pissed quite a few angels off here though with my lack of heart for handling you."
"How do you mean Matt?"
"Before I can totally be free, I have to guard you, and that means knowing what is coming up for you that I cannot prevent. It also means pushing you and Chris together to live happily ever after. It seems I have a different idea of your happily ever after then everyone else here."
"Why can't you just let whatever happens come down and happen and end this with me now? Wouldn't that help you out a little?"
"That is the problem; my heart doesn't want to let you go, not now, not ever."
Chris could hear Amy talking and knew that there was a long awaited talk between her and Matt happening. So when the phone rang, he didn't even hesitate to answer it on the first ring. He felt his blood go cold as soon as he picked up the receiver and he almost lost his breath when heard the voice.
"It's time to pay the piper."
"Who the hell is this? What the hell do you mean by that?"
"Matt died before he could give us what we want. You now have exactly 48 hours to get it and deliver it when we call again. If you don't, your girlfriend gets it."
"What is it that you want?" He couldn't even imagine these people that had done away with Matt so easily getting their hands on Amy and ruining his life all over again. He was in no immediate rush to have his heart ripped out like Amy had already been through.
"We want Jeff Hardy delivered to us, and if you don't comply, not only will Amy Dumas Hardy die, you too will meet an untimely end."
The caller hung up then, not letting Chris get a good read on what the hell these people would want with Jeff in the long run. He immediately put the phone back on the hook and grabbing his jacket from the side of the couch, he made his way out the door. His first stop, to get some real answers out of Amy's brother in law, Jeff Hardy before something horrible happened.
"Amy the end is near."
"What are you talking about Matt?" Amy asked, her voice entering into the danger zone as she heard her husbands familiar tone.
"You, Chris and Jeff are all in danger, and one of you will not make it out alive."
