Chapter 26
Jeff silently sat backstage in his locker room warming up for his up-coming match. It was a hardcore match, a simple one, really. No huge spots, and it wasn't going to last very long either. About five minutes into the match, Matt would interrupt and try to take him down, only for Jeff to Swanton him a little while later. He was glad it was only a small match, the sooner it was over the sooner he could call Trish and see how she was doing…to see if she made it to the hotel alright. A worried feeling swept through his body. It had been there all night, but it was becoming more and more apparent.
There was a knock at the door. "Yeah?" Jeff asked.
The darker haired brother stepped inside. "Hey, bro." He greeted.
"Hey,"
"You ready for your match?"
"Uh, yeah, I think so."
"Great, I'll see you out there in about…ten minutes?"
"Yeah, sure."
"Alright," The eldest brother left with a smile.
After a few more moments of thinking, he picked up his phone and held it in his hand. A sudden urge to call her tugged at his fingers, but thinking better of it he set down his phone and left to wrestle his match.
Chapter 27
"God damnit," Jeff thought as Chris Benoint began to throw punches at him. The match was going on kind of sloppy, Jeff's mind wasn't into it at all. He couldn't help but to think of Trish.
As Jeff climbed the top rope, Matt came down and pushed him off, sending him crashing onto the mat. Chris rolled out of the ring as the two brothers continued to fight. Hitting the Twist Of Fate, Matt's head bounced off the mat. Jeff looked down at him, then at the ladder in the corner. The fans began to scream as they realized what he was about to do.
As he climbed up the wobbly ladder, he couldn't help but think of Trish. Something was wrong, he was sure of it. He stepped on the last step of the ladder, one away from the top, looking down at his brother who was laying on the mat pretending to be out cold. Everything was fine at the arena, but he couldn't help but think that somewhere an hour away there was something terribly wrong--he knew it.
He stepped on the very top of the ladder, quickly standing up, wanting to get everything over as soon as possible. But as he tried to jump, the ladder slipped from underneath him.
Even the fans from the nose-bleed section could feel nothing but Jeff's head crashing against the solid mat.
Chapter 28
Trish was having a great time at the wedding reception, but inside she was yearning for Jeff's call. A smile crossed her face as her cell phone vibrated in her purse. She looked at the Caller I.D. it wasn't Jeff, it was Amy. "Hello?" Trish said in her usually happy voice.
"Trish…" Amy gasped.
"Amy? What's wrong? Are you alright?"
"No, no, Trish, I'm fine…..It…it's Jeff."
Her heart was racing as she ran as fast as she could to her car. She couldn't believe it. Something happened to Jeff, but she didn't know what. All she found out was that he was at the hospital before her cell phone went dead. "Good Lord," Trish said as she felt her heart pounding against her chest. As the rain slicked the parking lot, she pressed down on the pedal as hard as she could, speeding out of sight. "This isn't happening..."
