She must have fallen asleep because when she opened her eyes she noticed the sun peaking through the clouds. She looked down at the bed. She saw that he hadn't moved all night. She had been holding Jeff's hand without even realizing. She turned her head when she heard voices at the door.

"He is going to be fine. The doctors think that it is just a big concussion and there is nothing serious." Matt said talking to an elderly gentleman.

"That must be their dad." Brianna thought to herself. The next thing she noticed was the door opening and Matt following the guy into the room.

"Oh, Brianna, I didn't know you were awake. Did we wake you up?" Brianna shook her head.

"I would like you to meet someone. Brianna this is our dad Gil. Dad, this is Brianna. Brianna is Eric Bischoff's daughter and a good friend of ours."

"It is nice to meet you Mr. Hardy." Brianna said finally letting go of Jeff's hand to stand up and shake Gilbert Hardy's.

"It is nice to meet you also Brianna. How long have you known my boys?" Gil said letting go of Brianna's hand.

"Since yesterday, um, this is a family thing, so I think I am going to get going." Brianna said starting to walk towards the door.

"That isn't necessary Miss Brianna."

She wanted to say something, but Gil just pushed her back into the chair. He walked around to the other side of the bed and pulled a chair closer to the bed. Nothing was said between the three people in the room. Brianna was having a hard time just sitting there because it meant that she had time to think about everything that had happened over the last week. She started crying. She didn't know exactly why, but she couldn't hold it back.

"Brianna, are you okay?"

"Um, I am so sorry. This is my fault. I shouldn't even be here, this is a family matter."

She tried to stand up to leave, but she started feeling dizzy. She felt herself falling, but she couldn't hold herself up anymore.

"Brianna!" Matt yelled as he ran over to her, just in time to catch her. "Brianna, are you okay?"

"Yea, I just feel a little dizzy. I don't know why, I'm sorry." She said trying to shake the dizziness off.

"When was the last time you ate or drank anything darlin'?" Gil said in a heavy Southern accent, which reminded her more of Jeff.

"Yesterday at breakfast, I guess." Gil looked shocked. "I haven't had the appetite to eat. I have had a lot on my mind lately."

"Well, you need to eat something. Matt, can you go down to the cafeteria and grab a bagel and some water." Matt nodded and walked out of the room.

"Now, darlin' tell me what's bothering you." Brianna looked at him in shock. These Hardy men sure know how to make a person feel special.

"What do you mean Mr. Hardy?"

"You said that this was your fault. I want to know what you did. Did you push Jeff off the turnbuckle? Did you wish this upon him? If you think this is your fault, I want to know why." Wow, did this man have a way of making people talk.

"I didn't push him or wish for him to fall off the turnbuckle, but it was my fault because of things that had happened earlier in the day. Those things were on his mind and he wasn't concentrating on the match like he should have been." Gil was just looked at her expressionless.

"Are you psychic?" This question startled Brianna.

"Excuse me?"

"Are you psychic?" Gil Hardy repeated. Brianna shook her head.

"Then how do you know that Jeff wasn't concentrating on the match. Things like this happen unexpectedly all the time that is why they are called accidents. You had nothing to do with this. Jeff knew what he was doing; he just lost his footing." He looked at Brianna who still had small tears running down her cheeks. "Look, I know my boy. And I know that he is stronger than most people ever think."

"I know Jeff is a strong person, but I still feel awful. I feel like I should have been able to do something. I'm just scared I won't get to tell him how he really makes me feel."

"How does he make you feel?"

"I don't feel stupid or ugly or fat or weird around him. He makes me feel comfortable. He makes me feel like I am worth something and I'm important. He took the time to listen to me and he asked me questions. And then I went and ruined it by overreacting."

"What do you mean overreacting?" Brianna started to talk when Matt walked in the room. He handed her the bagel and water. She started to reach for her money.

"No, this is on me. You are paying for the room, the least I can do is pay for a bagel and water."

"Thank you." She said smiling for the first time since she had been at the hospital.

She slowly started to eat the bagel. It felt weird to actually be eating, but Gil was right, she had needed to eat. The next couple of hours were silent. The only things that could be heard were the machines and the small sniffles from Brianna. She desperately wanted Jeff to wake up, but she was also afraid of what he had to say to her. She was in her own little world when Gil spoke up.

"If you will excuse me, I am going to go to the cafeteria with Matt and Amy. Would you like to join us Miss Bischoff?"

"Please call me Brianna and no thank you Mr. Hardy. I am really not that hungry." She saw the look on the elder Hardy's face.

"That bagel filled me up. Don't worry, I won't starve myself again." Gil smiled and squeezed Brianna's hand before walking out of the room. She turned back towards Jeff, who still wasn't awake.
